"It's to avoid suspicion." Hermes said with a bitter look on his face, "No Name's predecessor... Arcadia, and I have a very good relationship, so I can't show up."
Su Qing paused. After Arcadia's community name and flag were taken away, it was impossible to express "Arcadia" in the small garden.
Su Qing can do it. He has high authority in the final trial of mankind. His own abilities have also evolved to the point where he can circumvent the rules of the box garden to a certain extent as long as he pays with his spiritual power.
Hermes, why?
Hermes sighed and said, "Arcadia is where I was born. Canary built the Arcadia Community. I provided the name and the initial base."
"There are indeed similar rumors in human history. Hermes was born in Arcadia." Su Qing nodded slightly. The existence of rumors in human history does not mean that it is also the same in the box garden. There are also legends such as Taishang turning into Nuwa in human history. Of course, there is no such thing in the box garden.
There are many kinds of rumors in human history. The truth of the box garden will be reflected in human history, but it is often mixed with a large number of worthless lies.
Hermes looked reminiscing as he said, "During the anti-utopia war, Arcadia wanted to fight in the West District, so it naturally needed a headquarters. I transferred the sovereignty of my birthplace to Canary, and the community built by Canary also used the name of Arcadia."
"This community was named after me, but the name was later taken away by the Demon King. However, it is always the case that the original can control the pseudo-canon, and there is no reason for the pseudo-canon to control the original... Apart from the Demon King who took away the name, I am probably the only one in the Little Garden who can still call out the name Arcadia."
Hermes looked a little sad and said, "So, he is also considered the biggest suspect in the destruction of Arcadia."
The God's Envoy spread his hands and said helplessly, "Either two digits did something, so that during the destruction of the Demon King, many gods failed to sense the abnormality of Arcadia and failed to provide timely support."
"Otherwise, I can do it too. The name of Arcadia originated from me. If I want to do something, it is theoretically possible."
"Compared to those two-digit fighters, I am not good at fighting among the three-digit fighters, and I almost died unjustly."
Chapter 16
The corner of Su Qing's mouth twitched slightly. Canary had never told him that Arcadia's name came from Hermes.
Maybe… this falls into the category of needless to say?
In the eyes of the gods, Hermes might indeed be a suspect. In the Arcadia community, there were many gods who had backup plans.
Nothing else is needed, just a message needs to be leaked out, and then the gods may come to support.
After all, the box garden is not big. It is just the surface area of a star. The energy level of three digits is already at the galaxy level.
If it weren't for the realm gate system, and the fact that every outer gate had a definition of "world", any ordinary three-digit number could arbitrarily flatten or round the mass of stellar matter.
But the one who is most familiar with the box garden realm gate system is the Halloween Queen, who is also one of Arcadia's backers.
What Hermes said was not entirely true. The news of the attack on Arcadia could be blocked, and the two-digit number who violated the rules in the box garden could do it. Hermes, the source of Arcadia, could do it. In addition, the Queen of Halloween could also do it.
These are the only ones left.
Hermes only mentioned two-digit numbers, and two-digit numbers are a range. Anyone who retaliates against him because he mentioned it will be directly marked as a wolf and beaten.
I didn't mention your name or surname, why are you reacting so strongly?
If he mentions the Halloween Queen by name, it means he is determined to make an enemy of her.
However, Su Qing felt that Hermes was not a high suspect, and perhaps that was why Canary did not even mention him.
No revenue.
If Arcadia develops smoothly, how much benefit will it bring to Hermes?
Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei. If Liu Bei had the momentum to conquer the world, what kind of thinking would Tao Qian have to have to choose to stab Liu Bei in the back?
If Liu Bei really unified the world, how could Tao Qian not be treated well?
The origin of Arcadia is Hermes, so Hermes cannot be the man behind the destruction of Arcadia, unless he has a bigger plan in mind - for example, Tao Qian gave up Xuzhou just to let Liu, Guan, Zhang and Cao Cao fight each other. In fact, Tao Qian was the boss behind Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others, and giving up Xuzhou was just part of his plan to unify the world.
Isn't that bullshit?
As for the situation in the box garden, if Su Qing really said that Vishnu secretly refined the incarnations of the dragon in the world of Sakyamuni Buddha and planned to dominate the box garden, and that he was just acting when he was bullied by the "incarnations" on weekdays, he would believe it a little.
In the world that Su Qing traveled through, Vishnu generally did not have as much influence as Sakyamuni, but if the version in the box garden was a version of Vishnu's counterattack, there might be a slight possibility.
Where does Hermes have the potential to make big plans? He doesn't have that ability.
——But he does have the ability to kill Arcadia without telling the gods.
I have to say, this is really unfair, Hermes has no motive but he has the ability.
But Arcadia was destroyed so cleanly and neatly that there are no clues left, so we can only investigate those who are capable.
The only other people who have the ability to destroy Arcadia silently are either in the double digits or the Queen of Halloween... So, Hermes becomes a soft persimmon.
It's not that these people are the only ones who are suspects, but among them, there must be at least one criminal, and there is no telling how many others are secretly contributing to the destruction of Arcadia.
As one of the Twelve Olympians, Hermes does have some strengths among the three-digit gods, but they are not combat abilities.
In Olympus, the strong also have their own division of labor.
Zeus, Poseidon, Hades and others control a world in mythology. They, including Athena, have many achievements and are the representatives of combat power in Olympus.
Including the god of war Ares, Ares's fighting power is not weak either - however, after Ares's Roman identity became the King of Terror, Ares' own fighting power was not very good.
Sun Wukong has a spiritual defect, which means he has not completed his mission. If he wants to complete his mission, his spiritual energy can be supplemented - this spiritual defect is the gap between the mature body and the growth stage.
Ares' Roman form became the final test for humanity, when half of his body was chopped off from his mature spirit, leaving him half paralyzed.
Currently, Ares’ combat capability is even weaker than Sun Wukong, a top three-digit rookie with spiritual defects.
Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, Artemis, the goddess of hunting, and other gods are researchers among the Olympian gods.
The research direction of the goddess of agriculture is the sovereignty of the earth, the research direction of the god of love is the operating rules of human history, and Artemis is the sovereignty of the moon.
These studies are not isolated. Whether it is studying the sovereignty of the earth or the sovereignty of the moon, their essence is to guide the development of human history.
The god of fire Hephaestus is responsible for producing blessings, and the messenger Hermes is responsible for communicating with the lower human community and spreading the results of Olympus researchers into human history.
Among the Olympian gods, Zeus is the old chairman, Athena is the current chairman, and Hermes is the director and general manager.
If the Gods were rich, Hermes would naturally benefit. Now that the Gods are poor, the Gods consider that Athena, as the chairman, needs to support the Gods, and will give her favors to make her stronger.
Hermes does not have this treatment. It is enough to have something on the surface, no need for more.
In fact, as one of the Twelve Gods of Olympus, Hermes is not even a top three-digit figure, the kind of three-digit figure that doesn't even have the qualifications to 'try' to become a two-digit figure.
His duty is to communicate with the lower levels, and the same is true for the direction of his spiritual development. He is proficient in power control and is good at exerting combat power within the four-digit strength framework.
He is particularly good at discovering the spiritual defects of human heroes, and providing advice and suggestions to human heroes within the specified spiritual scale of 'four-digit spiritual defects' - and selling favors that can make up for the spiritual defects.
He is not strong enough but is a suspect, and the other suspects are too strong, so Hermes naturally becomes the biggest suspect in the destruction of Arcadia - many gods will take advantage of the situation, if other big guys can't bully them, why can't they bully you, Hermes?
The Greek gods could not make any excuses for Hermes because he was indeed a suspect.
If the parties involved are able to respond to those slanders and teach them a lesson one by one, then it is understandable.
After all, he was just a suspect, but others insisted on treating him as a criminal. He was definitely dissatisfied, and it was understandable that he would take retaliatory actions.
But from the perspective of the God Group, they can't use the power of the God Group to fight back strongly just because others' suspicions are a little excessive, right?
No matter what outsiders think, no matter what the facts are, the suspect acts with the attitude of "I am 100% innocent", and no one can find fault with it.
But the Greek gods could not act this way.
Are the Greek gods absolutely certain that Hermes did not do it? The Greek gods can declare that this matter has nothing to do with them, but the other gods in the box garden can refuse to believe it.
It would be a bit too much if the Greek gods retaliated against the gods who questioned them because of this doubt.
The fights among the gods are not minor.
This may happen if the son becomes a suspect, the mother ignores the clues, says that her son is not the criminal, and refuses to cooperate with the investigation.
But if there is a suspected god among the group of gods, the group of gods will not act like a spoiled child and will always respond with a slightly more decent excuse.
For example, 'Our group of gods will conduct an internal investigation into this incident.'
It is impossible to wrongly kill Hermes, but in order to avoid suspicion, Hermes can only ignore the situation of No Name.
It is also possible that this is the purpose of certain groups of gods.
After all, Hermes is the general manager of the Greek gods, managing the underworld affairs of the Greek gods.
Before Arcadia's fall, it was the largest force in the underworld, the alliance of the lower classes had already begun to take shape, and Arcadia's network of relationships was intricate and complex.
——When it comes to Arcadia’s business, Hermes needs to avoid suspicion, so in order to avoid suspicion, he has to give up most of the business on hand.
But some people even wronged Hermes, not for their own benefit.
If it was the Canary in the box garden, although the name of Arcadia came from Hermes, since the name had already been given, Hermes naturally had no right to take it back.
But if no name only had a few big and small cats, Hermes, as the god who provided the title of 'Arkadia', would be qualified to recruit the rest.
If they really catch any clues about the Demon Alliance that destroyed Arcadia, there might be some top three-digit strongmen who would take action, but these top three-digit strongmen are not qualified to act on behalf of the former Arcadia.
The three-digit revenge on the Demon King Alliance can only be done with "I don't like you" or "I'm doing this for my apprentice/comrade" - but not "I'm doing this for the Arcadia Alliance".
Some of them support Canary, some support Kasukabe Takaaki, and some have good relations with other strong people in Arcadia, but this relationship is only for the "strong" and not for the entire Arcadia.
If a friend's family is in trouble, you can support their children and take care of them, but if you want to directly take over your friend's industrial brand and call it doing it for the sake of the other party... then you can label it as a wolf.
He really has no shame at all.
But Hermes is qualified, not only does he have a good relationship with Canary, he also has a causal relationship with Arcadia.
The title given to Canary was taken away, and he stood up to help the current No Name to take revenge and reorganize No Name, and no one could find fault with him.
The question is, after Hermes reorganized No Name, even if the cadres who were exiled to the outside world returned to the small garden, can the power be regained?
Even if you want to come back, others will help you take care of the remaining forces and return them to you afterwards...how many people will be infiltrated among them?
Even if your goals have something in common, you still have to prioritize when the time comes.
Many people simply picked Hermes as the only weakling among the suspects in the downfall of Arcadia and framed him.
Most of them knew that Hermes was innocent but still wanted to frame him.
Instead of framing him, he used the name of the investor when Arcadia was founded to incorporate No Name at that time, and maintained the lower-level alliance at that time... Who can stand that?
This has already happened once.
The class dominance system originally belonged to the vampire clan. It was a system in which the lower class protected the lower class. After the vampire clan was exterminated, the sovereignty of the system belonged to the heavenly army, and it became a system in which the heavens dominated the lower class.
The lower-level alliance is in the hands of Canary, which will certainly harm the interests of the gods, but it is beneficial to human history. Considering the friendship of fighting side by side in the past, some gods and Buddhas will turn a blind eye.
If Hermes could accomplish the lower-level alliance, things would be completely different.
