Marvel's Father Earth

The first stop for Merin and Gallon was Italy, across the sea from Greece. Initially, Merin planned to send Gallon directly to the forest in southern Spain, where the artifacts of light of the Gemini and Dark Child Saints were sealed. Mask and Dark Mask.

And now that Galen is his bodyguard, he doesn't need to be so anxious. He can naturally take Galen all the way around. Although he doesn't know much about this era, at least it's better than Galen!

With Garen's character, if he were to go on a mission by himself now, he would probably cause a lot of trouble. This could be seen from the moment he left the sanctuary.

I took a ferry across the sea and arrived in Italy, where everything fell into depression.

We are now in the late stage of World War II. This period is exactly the turning point of this war. The Axis powers with the Third Reich as the axis have entered a decline. It will not be long before Italy declares its surrender, so in In Italy, there is an atmosphere of decadence and depression.

"Sir, what's going on here?" Garen asked in confusion.

"war."

"war?"

"Yes, war, a war that swept the world."

"Has the Holy War begun?" Garen knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately thought of the Holy War.

"No, this is a war between humans."

"The war between humans..." Garen was stunned and looked around.

"Yes, this was a very tragic war, with huge property losses and as many as 7000 million casualties."

"Sir, shouldn't humans live in harmony? Why are there wars, and they are so tragic?" Garen asked.

"Because they... are human beings." Merin sighed.

Human beings are such complex creatures, kind, gentle, proud, gentle, and charitable, but also cold, cunning, domineering, cruel, and indifferent.

In the eyes of Merin, compared with the many races in the mythical age, humans have always been the most special race, because only humans are a perfect white paper when they are born, and can be painted with any color. Possess all the beauty in the world, and can possess all the evil in the world.

Garen who heard the words and Saga who was far away in the sanctuary could best understand this sigh, because they are the light and darkness of Gemini, representing the light and darkness of human beings.

The history of mankind is actually a chronicle of wars. Peace is always short-lived, and more often there are never-ending wars. The reasons for launching wars vary, some are for power, some are for territory, and some are For money, or even just for the people of their own country to live a better life, there are too many desires, religions, economies, etc., and some wars are even just because of one or two quarrels.

"If adults come to rule, maybe..."

"Garon."

"grown ups."

"The duty of the sanctuary is to protect the love and hope of the earth, not to control it. Everyone has their own will. We can guide it, but we cannot control it. One is because we cannot control everyone, and the other is The second is that it kills human possibility.”

"Human possibility?"

"Yes, humans are such a wonderful race. Without the powerful bodies of dragons, the magical affinity of elves and goblins, and the divine power possessed by gods from birth, they can be said to be the weakest race in the world and the universe. But plus Long, precisely because human beings are weak and have nothing, they have infinite possibilities."

"Thank you for your advice, sir."

Garen really felt the meaning of Mai Ern's words, because he himself is a human being. Indeed, as Mai Ern said, human beings do not have all the talents mentioned by other races, but haven't human beings also survived from the age of mythology to this day? ?

Look at other races, the powerful dragons, the savage orcs, the noble elves, and even the aloof gods. Where are these races now?Where are the gods who once looked down upon mankind in the sky?

Only human beings have been constantly adapting to new living environments, developing seemingly inexhaustible potential, and surviving to this day.

But Garen thought about his two main gods. They are also gods. Will they also...

"grown ups……"

"Your worries are unnecessary, little Garen." Merin winked at Garen.

"Uh... I'm sorry, sir."

"It's okay."

Looking at Merin's back, Garen felt a sense of determination in his heart. He believed that Merin and Athena would never be in the situation that he was worried about. He would always be by their side. If...he swore that he would personally do it. Bear this sin.

……

Merin was not in a hurry to find the sealed artifact, but found a good hotel and stayed in it. He planned to stay in this country for a while, firstly to get a feel for this era, and secondly to allow Garen to adapt to the outside world. life.

Galleon looked fine now, but that was because Maierin was blocking him.

In Garon's heart, Merin's status was supreme, and everyone should obey his will.

But the current era is the age of mythology, not the feudal era, nor the age of ancient mythology.

People nowadays do not believe in God at all. Except for believers of some religions who have no choice in life and can only rely on their belief in gods to give them the courage to live, even the clergy of those religions are just because Exist due to the convenience and benefits brought by identity.

Therefore, even if Maierin reveals his identity, ordinary people will only regard him as a fool or a madman.

But Garon couldn't bear this. If Maierin hadn't stopped him, this country might have ceased to exist.

According to his opinion, it is already a great honor for you to have Lord Maierin come to your store. You don't kneel down and say thank you, but you dare to accept your money. It is simply disrespectful!

"Sir, why are you stopping me? Are those people too disrespectful?" Garen complained.

"This is the time it is now, and you have to learn to adapt."

After saying that, Merin threw a book to Garen, which he had just bought in the store.

"This is?"

"Reading more books will be good for you."

Hearing this, Garen's face suddenly fell. If you want to compare it, he is a typical "bad student" in the school. He is top-notch in being naughty and mischievous. His personal ability is also a good one. Even if he is asked to practice, he can still be immersed in it. Go in, but let him read...

This is to kill him!

And there is a very serious problem, he cannot read the text on the book!

It is only 1943, and the language unification action has not yet taken place, so Greek is still used in Greece, and Italian is used in Italy. Just in Europe, there are dozens of different languages.

This is also thanks to the fact that Maierin was a language expert in his previous life. He knows most languages. Although he is only proficient in Mandarin and English, there is still no problem in ordinary daily communication.

Otherwise, they will encounter another setback as soon as they set out.

"Sir...I really don't understand..."

"Just read it when I ask you to. Where are there so many excuses! Italy is not far from Greece, so all I find for you are Greek books. Don't tell me you can't read."

"But my lord..."

Garen also wanted to find an excuse to shirk it, but when he saw Myron glare at him, he shrank his neck and opened the book and pretended to read.

Literacy is a given. After all, the Saints will often leave the Sanctuary to perform tasks in the future, and they cannot always stay inside the Sanctuary. The reason why the Sanctuary is now isolated from the world is that it is in its most dilapidated period and there are no extra manpower.

But for future considerations, some cultural education is still needed. The sanctuary adopts orphans not only to train them into warriors, but to train them into successful people, even if they do not become saints or leave. Once in the sanctuary, they can also rely on their own hands to support themselves.

This is also the rule and tradition left by Maier since the mythical age.

But Garen, as the most naughty person in the sanctuary, will he take lessons seriously?Someone who likes to run away from even training, let alone class.

Due to Myrne's majesty, Garen still had to put on a show, but it was obvious that he did not have the talent to be an actor.

"Garon."

"Sir! I'm watching! I'm watching seriously!"

"No...I meant to say that you took down the book."

……

After staying in the port city for a few days, Merin took Gallon to Rome, the capital of Italy. Rome is also an ancient cultural city with a history of more than 2000 years and is the intersection of politics, economy, culture, and transportation in this country.

"Although it is full of sadness and depression, it is still a city full of culture." Merin praised.

"grown ups……"

"Gallon, tell me about this city."

"Yes... According to legend, in the 7th and 8th centuries BC, King Numitore of Rome was usurped and expelled by his brother Amlio, his wife was killed, and his daughter Silvia married the god of war Mars..." Added With his eyes wide open, he recited the history of the city somewhat dully. The book Merlin threw to Gallon was the General History of Italy, so it contained records about Rome.

As for why Garen knew so clearly... it can only be said that Merin's "love" for Garen was too deep.

"Which god in Greek mythology does Mars, the god of war, correspond to?" Merin asked.

"Ares, God of War." When he mentioned the gods, Garen's condition recovered. Especially the gods of the Greek pantheon, which have always been the main enemies of the sanctuary.

"Back then, Ares followed his father Zeus to besiege me and my girl. He was entangled by the first-generation Gemini Golden Saint Dakyuqi and the first-generation Anzi Golden Saint Sisrich sisters, and was supplemented by the sneak attack of Pisces Dagaria. , successfully severely damaged Ares, and under the siege of other golden saints, killed the four chiefs of the Berserker Legion..."

Maierin fell into memories, and Garen followed quietly and listened. These were unrecorded histories, and he was very curious.

Hearing that Ares, the god of war, one of the twelve main gods, was severely wounded by the saints of Gemini and Anzi, he felt extremely proud. Moreover, the first generation Gemini and Anzi were sisters, so he made up his mind to surpass them, and then Hearing about the heroic sacrifices of the first-generation Golden Saints again, I felt a heavy pressure fall on my shoulders.

Just then, a blue-haired child ran over.

"Gentlemen, do you need a tour guide? It's not expensive, only 100 lire."
