The vest magic changes the earth

"Mystery is a kind of tide, and we just happened to meet the cusp of its emergence. So, in the process of being mysterious and powerful, some power will also recover." Randolph pointed to the book in his hand: "And One logic is that, often in the mystical realm, the older the more powerful."

On TV, the ancient city of Carthage is hidden in a hazy mist from the perspective of a drone, but the figures inside can still be seen, but they don't look like living people.

"So you don't have to worry too much about the endless mysteries. Mystery is a part of this world and will gradually integrate into people's lives. And people can also start to master mystery. Mystery is open to all races. The Way of the Cross is a good example. myself."

Allen always felt that Randolph was rambling, almost like his dying grandfather explaining where the money was hidden at home.

"So." Randolph spread his hands, "If humans have mastered the mystery, I can retire, and maybe I can also get that beautiful exorcist girl from Cresnik. Investigators are simply not capable of work. .”

"Don't say such bad things, you talk a lot of nonsense today." Allen rolled his eyes at him, "In TV dramas, if you say you want xxx, you retire, and you usually don't live to retire."

"Okay, it's up to you." Randolph shrugged.

......

At this time, these videos are being watched by many people all over the world.

"What is it called! Hannibal of ancient Carthage came back to life! He also brought a group of skeleton soldiers!" The president roared in the office.

"That's what it says in the report, uh, look, here's a picture we took with a drone."

The photo is actually not clear, a layer of something like a hazy mist covers the entire ruins of the ancient city of Carthage.But just thinking about those mysterious incidents happening in various places makes people feel chills, let alone thousands of tourists from various countries being taken as hostages and left in the hands of those Carthaginians.

His phone was about to explode.

But at the same time, in fact, countries also have a little secret hope that mysterious events will happen to them.Don't you see, these mysterious events have benefited some countries, and those Christian countries have directly obtained a long-term path of suffering that can cultivate extraordinary people.

What's more, they also vaguely heard the news that the mysterious big country in the east had already quietly cooperated with the extraordinary organization and started research.

These good things can only happen when mysterious events happen.

The president was excited, but then he started to worry again.If the mysterious incident that fell on him is not very suitable, then there will be a big problem. The Xiling town incident in the United States disappeared thousands of residents at once. A prosperous town in the south was directly removed from the map. Disappeared, that place is still a dead place.

He felt that what fell on his head did not seem like a cheap thing, because these soldiers were ancient Carthaginians. According to the logic of the Carthaginians, this land originally belonged to them, and now these people are all foreigners. By.

Since the ancient kingdom of Carthage was destroyed and all surviving residents became slaves, the so-called Carthaginian nation basically does not exist in this world.Rome's revenge was too extreme and ruthless, leaving the Carthaginians with no hope of turning around.

Now the residents here are basically the Arabs who conquered this land, so what if there is a conflict with these Carthaginian skeleton soldiers and they want to take their country back?

Of course it is impossible to cede land, but if there is a fight, what is the combat ability of these soldiers?Is it like the immortality in the novel?What exactly are their demands?

Moreover, ancient Carthage, as a slave country before BC, seems to be unable to count on their high level of humanitarianism. Human sacrifices are commonplace for them. Even according to Roman historical records, the Carthaginians once believed that He angered Baal, the main god of his belief.

The religion of Baal God generally has the habit of burning babies with fire to worship the gods, which has full primitive religious characteristics.

Just thinking about the troubles caused by the different times and folk customs, the president feels like his head will explode. Now he can only hope that General Hannibal, who is famous for his military exploits and is famous for his wisdom in the Mediterranean, is a good communicator. , so as not to do anything that would cause big trouble.

"Um, Mr. President." His confused secretary poked his head in again and winked at him.

"What's the matter again?!" He asked angrily.

"The United States, as well as Gaul, uh, their presidents are sending you invitations, and they all express their willingness to provide us with humanitarian aid."

"..."

North Africa is the traditional colony of Gaul. Even today when colonialism has subsided, the Gallic rooster still has a strong influence in North Africa.

There is a famous joke about this matter: the two overseas provinces of Gaul also need to be managed.

"Which two?"

"Morocco and Algeria." (Note)

As for the United States, everyone knows that the Pacific Police, wherever there is advantage, there are them.

"Let's just say I'm visiting General Hannibal and talking to him. Let them wait."

"Yes." The secretary said loudly.

"Come back after replying, we are ready to go."

"Where are you going?!"

"Really talk to Hannibal! You idiot!!" The president finally couldn't help roaring.

"Oh yes, sir!"

"In 1945, the atomic bomb fell on the Japanese mainland, and the Second World War ended. The war finally ended with the victory of the anti-fascist alliance..." The old professor swallowed. When I talked about modern times, I covered everything. This work is really not done by humans.

"Atomic bomb?"

"It's a new type of human weapon. Many countries have it. It's... like a, uh, a giant bomb that explodes. Can you understand the word explosion?"

"No, but I really like that general named Zhukov. He comes from the country that is said to be in the far north of the Far East. They are very brave. They persisted for half a year without enough food in the siege, and finally won in the cold winter. Victory, maybe this is a nation more brave than Carthage. There is also that big eastern country that regained its land under such tragic circumstances. Are you all so brave in the East?"

The professor smiled helplessly, not knowing how to answer, so he simply accepted his compliment.This guy is really good at talking. As expected of the person who instigated half of the Mediterranean back then, he can easily talk with others. When he thinks about it, he is very friendly.

After chatting for a long time, the old scholar unexpectedly had a kind of confidant-like kindness towards this ancient man.

Hannibal turned to talk about other things, "People seem to be very afraid of me and my soldiers, and the Carthaginians seem to have turned into some terrible monsters. And some people and I didn't know what kind of posture they were making before. They always laugh when they hear the name 'Hannibal' and what does 'Silence of the Lambs' mean."

The old scholar laughed dryly and didn’t know how to answer. It can’t be said that after you died, the Romans used your name to slander you and frighten children by the way, so they gave your name the meaning of a murderer. Later, the word cannibal was also you name evolved.Hyundai even made a series of film and television dramas using your name, and the protagonists in them love human flesh very much.

Moreover, according to the long-term exaggeration and narration of Roman historians, Carthage has become synonymous with cruelty, barbarism and low morals.

In the end, he could only explain in vain, and prayed that the general would find out about it later: "They just asked you to take a picture, and the one behind is just a dull and clumsy work of art!"

What's so frightening about Doujin II is that you find out that the master is alive and holding a sword.

Hannibal seemed to be very interested in the spiritual life of modern people, and wanted to ask again, but the familiar skeleton officer came over again, interrupted their history lecture, and whispered to Hannibal a few words.

The ancient famous general stood up and smiled kindly at the old scholar: "Let's end the explanation first. You are really a learned person. I have learned a lot from you."

The old scholar heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time noticed that the bones in the neck of the skeleton officer showed signs of breaking, as if they had been artificially spliced ​​together later.

The president sat upright, displaying his strongest aura.The moment he saw the skeleton soldier, he still let out a cold sweat reflexively, his lips turned white and his heart beat faster, feeling like he was going to be scared to death.

At the same time, he thought of countless situations and plans in his mind, and began to practice continuously.

But Hannibal's first words as he walked in dispelled all his preparations and made his head buzz.

"I heard that there is no king or senate anymore, so, respected ruler, the president here, are you ready to start a war against inhuman creatures?"

"Are you Carthage going to war with us?!" the president asked angrily.

"It's not us, respected president." He shrugged: "It's the crisis that is about to appear here, something that I can't believe. After more than 2000 years, human beings have lost control of the mystery, but they have lost control of the mystery. Walked out of a new path, I like your mushroom cloud."

I don't like it, the president thought.

"What crisis is going to happen here?" he asked, picking out the most urgent one.

Hannibal whispered a few words to the skeleton soldier next to him. When the skeleton walked in, the president flinched uncontrollably. From this distance, he could clearly see the structure of every bone of the opponent, as well as hair. There are mud residues mixed in the cracks of the yellow bones, and the armor hanging on the body is shining coldly.

"..." The president couldn't help but retreat tactically. Although he knew in his heart that the bloodstains could not be preserved for more than 2000 years, he still didn't want to think about what the dark brown spots on those weapons were.

Who would have thought that a politician would do these things these days.

After a while, the skeleton soldier who was sent out came back, still holding a struggling black object in his hand.

That thing is similar to a dog, but it has a human-like short upper jaw, sharp fangs and long claws. Its eyes are dark red, with sticky saliva drooping down, and its whole body is black and standing on end. When it sees a human, it starts screaming and struggling.

"What is this?" The president shuddered.

"A small monster, not very powerful, but it would be very troublesome to attack humans or livestock in groups. I don't know how you call it, maybe it is called the black dog demon (Barguest) following the saying on the other side of the sea? My soldiers caught one in the wilderness.

The whole continent, from the south of our place to the farthest north I know, has this kind of thing, a common but nasty monster.you look surprisedIt seems that this kind of thing just appeared. "

"Yes, I'm sure. None of us have seen such a creature before!" The president swallowed. If there is such a creature wandering around without being found, then those biologists should be hung on the pillar of shame superior.

"That may be it, it's still a young black barghest, and the thing grows to the size of a calf. That's all I'm going to say, honorable rulers, maybe it's time you got ready. Get ready To deal with a world we've faced before, a world with goblins, elves, scarabs, and all that stuff. The black barghest is just an extraordinarily weak creature."

Hannibal stared at the president, his eyes were not as gentle as when he was talking to scholars before, and the expression on his face was also extremely aggressive. He was like a falcon in the sky, watching the prey below, expecting the fatal blow .

"General, do you have any suggestions for this?" The president took the lead in taking a step back.

"As you can see, my soldiers have a lot of experience in these things. Besides, we are just a group of immortal skeletons. God told us to return to the earth. I am afraid that the Carthaginians are not allowed to occupy and kill others. It is to let us guard the land we once guarded. We stay here, but we are very nostalgic for the city we used to be."

The president translated it, that is, Hannibal can lead his undead soldiers to help deal with these monsters. Yes, these skeletons are indeed immortal!He would not seek revenge on Rome, or try to reconquer the Alps, but he wanted the ruins of the ancient city of Carthage.

Maybe the 'father of strategy' has other long-term plans, but that's it for now.

"General, what about those people from other countries who are guests here?"

"Of course they can leave and pass on my greetings to their country."

"Okay, but I can't give you an answer right away. I need to talk to, well, you can think of it as the city-state nobles and those who pay taxes."

"Of course, sir." He learned a modern word.

After the president left, the skeleton officer walked in, "Are we going to release those prisoners of war now?"

"Not prisoners of war, Hasdrubal. To use that word, well, 'people of the world.'"

"Ok."

"Next, let's continue to wait. I understand that there are always many countries in the world now, some are strong and some are weak. The strong country holds more power than before - that word is 'world hegemony' Is it right?"

"Yes."

"Yes, since this is the case, those who have more power will definitely want to have more, so those great powers will come to us. In this case, they often don't mind giving up more things that don't belong to them. benefits. We can get more.”
