Chapter 502: Chapter 31: Brother, You Smell So Good (5k)_3

Looking at the tearful Hermes, Luo En felt a pang of guilt and spoke reluctantly.

“How about this, you owe me a favor, and when I need it, help me once. Is that feasible?”

“Deal!”

As soon as Luo En finished speaking, Hermes quickly grasped his hand, cementing the compensation plan.

At that moment, there wasn’t a trace of the earlier sobbing on the face of the god of commerce.

Damn, I’m going to lose out…

Luo En cursed under his breath, then let out a frustrated hum.

“You really know how to do business, a few tears and you make me change my words. I almost sacrificed one of my incarnations to clean up your mess…”

Hearing this, Hermes gave an embarrassed smile, not denying his little trick of feigning weakness and selling misery.

In fact, among the four divine artifacts he had offered earlier, aside from the winged shoes which were slightly more valuable, the rest were ordinary items, far from causing him to wail and bemoan his loss.

What he was guarding against was this person here continuing to ask for more, draining him completely.

Having achieved his aim and considering future cooperation, Hermes tactfully offered a way out.

“Here’s what I’ll do, I can give you a piece of information for free. If there’s anything you want to know, ask me now.”

“Actually, there is…”

Luo En’s eyes flashed as he asked in a deep voice.

“This name ‘Thoth’, where did it come from?”

In the eyes of the scholars and alchemists from the Hermes Trismegistus Sector, the God of Speed Hermes, God of Messengers Hermes, and God of Wisdom Thoth, these three divinities mix to form the “Thrice Greatest Hermes.”

He possesses these three aspects and knows the universe’s triple wisdom–alchemy, astrology, and magic.

But logically, the name Thoth shouldn’t appear here, nor should it be associated with Hermes, as Thoth is a deity from Ancient Egypt.

At this point, Hermes’s eyelids twitched, and his face showed a rare difficulty.

“Can we not talk about it?”

“…”

“Fine, it’s no harm telling you.”

Considering that his leverage was still in the other’s hands, Hermes sighed helplessly and pondered deeply.

“Actually, this name should come from another divine era, specifically from another world.”

Although Luo En already had suspicions in his mind, he pretended to be clueless to gain more information, and questioned further with a frown.

“Another divine era? Are you suggesting that besides our divine era, there are other divine eras?”

Hermes nodded, thoughtfully choosing his words, and began to explain eloquently.

“True Chaos is boundless, and naturally, it can nurture more than one world. If Chaos is compared to a womb, then our world is just one of the eggs it has birthed. As our world develops, it will gradually cut off sustenance from Chaos, showing its true and stable nature and growing into an independent entity. Even in the distant future, our world might meet and interact with its ‘brothers and sisters’ to create a brand new world.”

“Why not now?”

“Because of the Sea of Chaos.”

Hermes shrugged his shoulders, unfolded a nautical map on the table, and further explained his discovery to Luo En.

“You should know, our world is surrounded by the Sea of Okeanos, beyond which lies the boundless Sea of Chaos, which greatly suppresses our divine authority. So whether it be the Chief Gods or the Divine Kings, it’s very difficult to cross this barrier, and naturally, we tend to think we are the center of the world.”

“But in reality, the entire Chaos sea area might be floating with more than one divine era world, and we are but one among them.”

“What’s the reason?” Luo En showed a skeptical attitude.

“Remember the question you just asked?” Hermes wrote down Thoth’s name on the parchment in strange characters, and spoke softly, “This is what I heard from the Sea of Chaos. Although no one has crossed that forbidden zone, the wind is free and unbridled, bringing me some messages not from this divine era.”

Then, Hermes looked at the somewhat cryptic characters on the parchment with some annoyance.

“Unfortunately, all I got were fragmented pieces of information. After a long time, I managed to piece together the name ‘Thoth’ and learned that he is a deity of wisdom from another divine era.”

“So, you just decided to use it?”

Luo En looked at Hermes with an amused gaze.

“Just trying it out…” Hermes spoke with a sheepish laugh, his eyes flickering.

After all, possessing divine authority of wisdom is very powerful in Greece.

Luo En naturally understood the other’s cunning, but he didn’t expose it.

Hermes’s usurpation of Thoth’s name entailed pilfering his followers and divine authority. The Egyptian God of Wisdom, who could not possibly cross the Sea of Chaos to claim royalties in Greece, left Luo En with no need to play the villain.

Moreover, he was curious.

Could Zeus, as the Divine King of the Greek divine era, be immune to the power of foreign deities?

Just then, a perfect specimen was right in front of him.

With this thought, Luo En’s gaze toward Hermes grew warmer.

However, the more amiable someone appeared, the more cautious Hermes became, unconsciously clutching his chest and shifting backward.

“If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you further.”

“Sure, see you around. If you encounter any trouble in the process of retrieving the Philosopher’s Stone, have someone from the Academy of Athens send me a message.”

Luo En smiled and waved his hand, not stopping him.

Seeing the affable attitude across the table, Hermes relaxed slightly. Before leaving, he looked at this earthly shepherd and after some thought, spoke in a serious tone.

“I’ll give you another piece of information for free. Thessaly seems to be having some issues, even more bustling than Arcadia now. If you’re interested, you might want to take a look.”

Watching Hermes transform into a gust of wind to escape, Luo En furrowed his brows.

Thessaly?

Just as Luo En was deep in thought, the twin brothers returned and spoke seriously as they entered.

“We just received a divine message from Lord Apollo, we might need to take a trip to Thessaly!”
