Chapter 708: immortal person
Rome is the capital and largest city of Italy. It is also the national political, economic, cultural and transportation center. It has a history of more than 2500 years. It is a world-famous historical and cultural city and the birthplace of the ancient Roman Empire. It is nicknamed " The Eternal City".
Rome is the center of the Catholic Church in the world. There are more than 700 churches and monasteries. Rome and Florence are both the center of the Italian Renaissance. Today, it still has a rich Renaissance and Baroque style.
Gorgeous dome buildings, doors, windows and glass of various colors, as well as very flashy sculptures, very little dressed, very artistic fountains can be seen at almost every intersection.
Stark's plane naturally didn't have to say, they arrived in Rome in the middle of the night, and the three of them got on the prepared vehicle and entered the city.
A few years ago, the streets were full of Mussolini’s fanatics, but now, the entire country seems to have forgotten it.
There are no traces of war here, everything is as peaceful and beautiful as always, with street lights projecting on the window glass. Various magnificent palaces and buildings flicked past the windows.
Leo is already a little bit stunned. He has lived in New York since he was a child, where he has seen such a classical city.
So everything outside the window made him dizzy, and he lied tightly on the window and kept watching.
“The Colosseum in Rome, called Colosseo in Italian, was originally called the Amphitheatrum Flavium (Amphitheatrum Flavium). It was a place where slave owners, nobles and free people watched beasts or slaves fighting in the ancient Roman Empire.”
Howard parked the car in a corner of the square, and signaled Leo to get off. He pointed to the huge building not far away and acted as a guide.
"This is the south side of Piazza Venezia, near the ancient Roman market. The Colosseum covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, and it is oval from the sky. The long axis is about 188 meters long and the short axis is about 156 meters long. With a circumference of about 527 meters and a wall height of about 57 meters, this huge building can accommodate nearly 90,000 spectators."
"Uh...Is my job in the Colosseum? But I don't speak Italian." Leo smiled dryly, his mind was a little confused, why did he go abroad suddenly?
Howard turned abruptly, and instead of walking in the direction of the Colosseum, he walked towards the sewer entrance on the other side of the square.
"Almost, you can think of it as being in the Colosseum...the next sewer is deeper underground." Howard shrugged and pushed open the secret door that looked like a stone brick wall.
Said it was a sewer, but it was very dry, dusty, and there was no peculiar smell.
After a series of secret doors and institutions, Howard took the two to a huge pit, a black hole, and did not know what was underneath.
"Crack la la la..."
A series of huge gear churning sounds recalled in the underground space, from below the endless abyss, an elevator driven by gears and unknown crystals rose.
A man walked out of it, dressed in a red robe, like an archbishop.
He wears a long helmet on top of his head, like a metal pea pod, with intricate patterns and patterns carved on it, even under the dim light of torches on the surrounding walls, it still shines.
"Where are you taking me?" Leo didn't feel quite right when he saw such a weirdly dressed person. Is this a cult?
However, although the person who walked out of the elevator looked serious, he was definitely not a fanatic. He replied in a very sensible tone: "Take you to eternal space and your future."
With that, he let go of the elevator door and motioned for a few people to enter.
Leo didn't want to move, but Howard and Nathaniel were warmly invited to each other with smiles, and their attitude remained the same.
He felt a little more relieved and walked into the elevator. The strangely-dressed man also walked in, pulled a few levers on the inner wall of the elevator, and the elevator began to descend quickly.
He turned his head and looked at Leonid, with a faint smile on his slightly old face: "You don't need to pretend, we all know who you are."
Leonid sighed and didn't see any action from him. His whole person became a translucent form. In his body, you can see countless stars, they either form a nebula, or Rotating according to his own rules, he turned him into the appearance of the deep space of the universe.
The stranger nodded slightly, did not say anything more about Leo's form, just turned and looked out the window, motioning him to look down.
"Leonid, look down, you will see miracles."
Leo approached the glass on the elevator when he heard the words, and the abyss that was still dark just now suddenly became clear.
A city suddenly appeared in front of him, as if passing through a curtain. Not only are magnificent classical buildings and palaces, but there are also many tall buildings floating in the air, and some red crystals like hills support them in suspension.
This city is more prosperous than Rome on the ground. Even at this point in time, the city is still brightly lit. From above, the traffic is woven and the heads are surging.
"God..." Leonid closed his mouth in surprise, except for constantly chanting the name of Heavenly Father, he almost froze there.
The strangely dressed man showed a proud look, and he walked to Leo's side: "This is an eternal miracle, this is an immortal city!"
The elevator had reached the bottom, and the other three people all walked to the front, while Leo still looked at the surroundings with surprise.
Whether it is a soldier wearing armor but holding a laser gun, or a giant building floating in the air like a mountain, these are far beyond his imagination.
He felt his tongue numb, and his hair seemed to be electrified, and his hands were shaking so badly that he could only put them in his jacket pockets.
After Yibu Yixi walked for a long time, he gradually calmed down, and he asked the old man who came to pick them up.
"I know that Rome was built on the site of ancient Rome, and there is an even more ancient Roman ruin under it, but there is such a city 200 meters underground... How is this possible? !"
The old man shook his cloak, his long helmet shook, and replied in a calm tone: "Science, magic, I can't give you any other explanation except for these. This is the hidden history of our world, and this is immortality. The home of the people."
All this is like a dream, it is like mapping Rome on the ground to the underground. This huge city is real, whether it is the streets paved with red bricks or the exquisite angel statues beside the roads, he is all within reach. .
And soon, after he walked down a long staircase, the four men walked into a theater-like building.
Beautiful and magnificent buildings, the interior is equally magnificent, the perfect combination of technology beyond the times and classical art, all kinds of incredible scenes emerge in it.
The most striking thing is an emblem on the dome of the magnificent theater, on which there is an eagle spreading its wings.
The golden emblem cast a beam of light, covering Leonid in the beam of light, and he felt his body warm.
At this time, he found that in this place like a circular theater, someone had been waiting for him.
They were dressed in the same clothes as the people who received them before. There were a total of four slightly older people sitting on the high platform, under which intricate patterns were carved.
Howard and Nathaniel nodded towards Leo, motioning him to stand still, then they walked to the empty auditorium on the other side, leaving only a faint outline in the dark.
The person who greeted them walked up to the rostrum and sat on the middle chair.
Then he spoke.
"Listen carefully. Some things will resonate with you, and this resonance will travel through time. Everything originates from a vision, a fire in the sky."
Leonid swallowed, looking at the people whose outlines were hidden in the darkness, he swallowed and waited quietly for explanation.
The old man didn't let him wait long, and told an old story. It was before Christ, it was at the dawn of earth civilization.
A light of fire fell on Egypt, and people saw wonderful buildings burning, falling from the sky to the desert.
But when they went to check, they were parasitized by a terrifying space worm race. They spread and multiplied at an extremely high speed, and the fate of all living things was at stake.
That is life and the end of the world.
At the moment of crisis, a man came forward. He gathered the surviving creatures and formed the final army to fight the alien zerg.
He said: "Our world should not end like this!"
He received a weapon from the gods, a spear, and a shield.
With the help of various heroes, he killed the Zerg queen, eliminated the parasitized people, and saved all the rest. He made different choices for the earth between extinction and survival.
People are united in the name of the shield in his hand.
"On the top of your head is the shield. Since then, passed down from generation to generation until today, we are a shield that protects humanity from the known and the unknown."
The old man in the lead was sitting upright. When he said these words, he couldn't help but straighten his chest, and the more detailed battles he described ~www.NovelMTL.com~ also made Leo's blood boil.
And just as he raised his head and looked at the shield, the five people on the podium began to say in unison: "We are a protective measure, a protective measure specifically against those who hinder our world from moving forward as envisioned and against those who hinder obstacles. ."
Seeing Leo fell into excitement and yearning, the people in the high platform added: "This is a call from the world, a call from us, an organization that provides protection to the world as a god."
"God?" Leo frowned.
And the other elder nodded, and was not affected by the doubt: "If we can't make some futures turn around, how can we be so proud?"
The people in the center looked at Leo: "Can you understand?"
Leo's star-like body did not hide his expression. He raised his semi-transparent eyebrows: "I can, to protect the world."
The headed old man nodded affirmatively: "Exactly."
