Chapter 710

Rome is the capital and the largest city of Italy, as well as the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the country. 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 "eternal city" for its long history of construction.

Rome is the center of the Catholic Church in the world. There are more than 700 churches and monasteries. Both Rome and Florence are the Italian Renaissance centers. Today, there are still rich Renaissance and Baroque styles.

Gorgeous dome buildings, colorful doors and windows and glass, as well as very flashy sculptures. You can see the very artistic fountain at almost every intersection.

Stark's plane, of course, didn't have to say that they arrived in Rome in the middle of the night, and the three of them got on their vehicles and entered the city.

A few years ago, the streets were full of Mussolini's fanatics, but now the whole country seems to have forgotten it.

There is no trace of war here. Everything is as peaceful and beautiful as ever. Street lights dot the windows. All kinds of magnificent palaces and buildings are flying through the window.

Leo has been a bit stunned. He has lived in New York since he was a child, where he has seen such a classical city.

So he was dazzled by everything outside the window and kept looking at it.

"Colosseo, formerly known as amphitheatrum flavium in Italian, is a place in the ancient Roman Empire for slave owners, nobles and freemen to watch animal fights or slave fights."

Howard parked his car in a corner of the square, motioning Leo to get out of the car. He pointed to the huge building not far away and acted as a guide.

"This is the south side of Venice Square, near the ancient Roman market. The Colosseum covers an area of about 20000 square meters. Seen from the sky, it is oval. The long axis is about 188 meters, the short axis is about 156 meters, the circumference is about 527 meters, and the wall is about 57 meters high. This huge building can accommodate nearly 90000 people. "

"Er... Is my job at the Colosseum? But I can't speak Italian Leo grinned. His brain was confused. Why did he go abroad all of a sudden?

Howard swerved, not in the direction of the Colosseum, but toward the sewer entrance on the other side of the square.

"Almost, you can think it's in the Colosseum... Next to the sewer, deeper underground." Howard shrugged and pushed open the hidden door that looked like a stone brick wall.

It's a sewer, but it's very dry, dusty and odorless.

After a series of secret doors and mechanisms, Howard took the two men to a huge pit, dark, and did not know what was underneath.

"Ka la la la..."

a series of huge gear churning sounds recall that in the underground space, from the bottom of the endless abyss, an elevator driven by gears and unknown crystals rose.

Out of it came a man in a red robe, like an archbishop.

He wore a long helmet, like a metal pea pod, with intricate patterns and patterns carved on it, which was still shining even in the dim light of the torches on the walls around him.

"Where are you taking me?" Leo doesn't feel quite right when he sees such a strange person. Is this a cult?

However, although the person out of the elevator is serious, he is not a maniac. He answers in a very rational tone: "take you to the eternal space, to your future."

Said, he made way for the elevator door, motioned several people to enter.

Leo didn't want to move, but Howard and Nathaniel invited each other warmly with smiles on their faces. There was no change in their attitude.

He was a little relieved and walked into the elevator. The oddly dressed man also stepped in. He pulled several pull rods on the inner wall of the elevator, and the elevator began to go down rapidly.

He looked back at Leonid with a faint smile on his old face: "you don't have to pretend. We all know who you are."

Leonid sighed, but he didn't see any movement. His whole body became translucent. In his body, countless stars could be seen. They either formed nebulae or rotated according to their own laws, turning him into the shape of the deep space of the universe.

The stranger nodded slightly. Instead of saying more about Leo's form, he turned to look out of the window and motioned him to look down.

"Leonid, look below. You'll see miracles."

Hearing this, Leo approached the glass on the elevator, and just now there was a dark abyss. Suddenly, he suddenly opened up.

A city suddenly appeared in front of him, as if through some curtain, not only the grand classical buildings and palaces, but also many tall buildings floating in the air, supported by some red crystals like hills.

The city was more prosperous than Rome on the ground. Even at this point in time, the city was still full of lights. From above, it was full of traffic and people."God..." Leonid was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He almost froze there, except for saying the name of the father.

The man in strange clothes showed a proud look. He went to Leo: "this is an eternal miracle, this is the immortal city!"

The other three people are still surprised to see the bottom of the elevator.

Whether it's soldiers in armor with laser guns, or giant buildings floating in the air like mountains, these are far beyond his imagination.

He felt numb in his tongue, electricity under his hair, his hands shaking so much that he could only carry them in his jacket pocket.

After a long time, he gradually calmed down. 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 older Roman relic under it, but there is such a city 200 meters underground... How can it be?"

The old man shook his cloak, shook his long helmet for a moment, and replied in a calm voice: "science, magic, I can't give you any other explanation, this is the hidden history of our world, this is the home of the immortals."

All this is like a dream, as if the Rome on the ground is mapped to the underground. This huge city is real. Whether it is the streets paved with red bricks or the exquisite angel statues beside the road, he can reach them all.

Soon, after he stepped down a long staircase, the gang of four entered a theater like building.

Beautiful and magnificent buildings, the interior is also magnificent, beyond the perfect combination of technology and classical art, a variety of incredible scenes emerge in it.

The most striking one is a badge on the dome of the Grand Theater, on which there is an eagle flying.

The golden insignia cast a beam of light, enveloping Leonid in the light. He felt warm.

At this time, he found that in this place like the amphitheater, someone was already waiting for him.

Dressed the same as the people who had received them before, there were four slightly old people sitting on the high platform, under which were carved complicated patterns.

Howard and Nathaniel nodded to Leo, motioning him to stand still, and then they moved to the empty auditorium on the other side, leaving only a faint outline in the dark.

The people who met them went up to the rostrum and sat in the middle of the chair.

Then he spoke.

"Listen carefully, something will resonate with you, and this resonance will pass through time, and everything starts from an idea, a fire in the sky."

Leonid swallowed his saliva and looked at the people whose outlines were hidden in the dark. He swallowed and waited quietly for the explanation.

The old man did not keep him waiting. He told an old story. It was BC, it was at the dawn of earth civilization.

There was a firelight falling into Egypt, and people saw wonderful buildings burning, falling from the air into the desert.

But when they go to check, they are parasitized by a kind of terrible space Zerg. They spread and multiply at a very high speed, and the fate of all creatures is in danger.

It's the end of life and the world.

In a crisis, a man comes forward and gathers the surviving creatures to form a final army to fight the alien Zerg to the death.

"Our world shouldn't end like this," he said

He was given a weapon, a spear, and a shield.

With the help of heroes from all walks of life, he killed the Zerg queen, eliminated the parasitized people, and saved all the remaining people. He made a different choice for the earth between extinction and survival.

People are united in the name of the shield in his hand.

"On your head is the shield. From then on, from generation to generation, we are the shield that protects mankind from the known and the unknown."

The head of the old man sat upright. When he said these words, he couldn't help but straighten out his chest. The scene he described and the more detailed fighting also made Leo's blood boil.

Just as he looked up at the shield, five people on the rostrum began to say with one voice: "we are a protective measure, a protective measure against those who hinder us to move forward as planned and against those who hinder us."

Seeing Leo fall into excitement and yearning, the people on the platform added: "this is a call from the world, an organization from us that provides protection to the world as a God."

"Gods?" Leo frowned.

Another elder nodded and was not affected by the doubt: "if we can't turn some future around, how can we look like this?"Central people look at Leo: "can you understand?"

Leo's starry body did not mask his expression. He raised his translucent eyebrows: "I can, to protect the world."

The head of the old man nodded affirmatively: "it is so."
