Chapter 198: Martin, the Messenger of God (Please subscribe, read, comment on the monthly ticket)

"Let's go, let's go! Let's go beat Bruce's local tyrants!"

Martin straightened his hat and walked out of the bedroom with the green snake, only to see that his living room was filled with those magical creatures.

These animals were very well behaved; the big ones lay on the floor, while the small ones sat on the sofa.

Gorilla Goodman turned on the TV and watched cartoons with the little animals.

"Martin, Martin!"

When Martin came out, all the animals became excited and jumped up to greet him.

Martin smiled and said, "Good fellows, you are all big guys, I can't afford to support you. Bruce's family is big enough, let's go find them."

The magical animals are still dizzy. They don’t know how they ended up at Martin’s house. They are also a little scared when facing the unfamiliar human society.

Martin knew this well. Although Amanda Waller was dead, her experiments had not disappeared. Even for the sake of face, the next director of the Sky Eye Society would not let these magical animals go.

But he didn't say this out loud, which added even more psychological pressure to the already nervous animals.

"Let's go. Bruce's house has a lot of good stuff. We can eat as much as we want when we get there."

Martin couldn't help drooling when he thought of the luxurious ingredients in Bruce's house.

Gorilla Goodman stood up first and walked out the door with the animals.

The green snake coiled on Martin's shoulder, spitting out its core, and said to him, "You don't have to hide this. We are not glass statues that will break at the slightest touch. It's not a bad thing for us to know some bad news!"

Martin followed the animal and headed out the door, instantly complaining about the green snake, "First of all, it's not cool for you to use your psychic powers to peek into my thoughts."

"That's your own divergent thinking. It's hard for me not to hear it." The green snake knew that she was not in the right in this matter, but still said something in a low voice.

What a tsundere snake sister!

Martin blocked his thoughts and complained silently in his heart.

Then, he added, "Secondly, as long as you go to Bruce's manor, the problem can be solved. In the final analysis, the Sky Eye Society has a shady background, and a former director just died. If they don't want to be disbanded, they can only give Bruce this face."

"Since this is something that can be resolved sooner or later, why bother them with it?"

Although there are many differences between the separation of powers in the United States and the responsible cabinet system in the United Kingdom, there is one thing that is very similar between the two, and that is the expansion of the bureaucratic system.

Civil servants in the UK cannot be dismissed for dereliction of duty, and once a US government department is established, it is difficult to abolish it and can only be controlled by setting up new departments.

But as the center of world capitalism, Bruce Wayne has supreme privileges. At least the Sky Eye is nothing in front of him.

"You are such a gentle human!" The green snake felt Martin's warm heart and praised this mysterious human.

Martin chuckled twice. Although he didn't say much, he still puffed out his chest with pride.

All the animals left the Martin house and waited in the street; they did not know the way to Wayne Manor.

Martin walked faster, trying to catch up with them, but stopped just as he passed the porch.

He stood at the door, looking at the scepter hanging on the wall of the porch, with a look of sudden enlightenment.

Green Snake didn't understand why Martin stopped. She followed Martin's gaze and saw a golden scepter hanging on the wall.

The scepter is actually made of brass and has not yet been oxidized, so it has a golden glow.

At the top of the scepter is a pair of small wings, similar to the small wings on Martin's hat and shoes. Two entwined copper snakes are suspended at the top of the staff, with blue gems inlaid in their eyes.

"What is this?" The green snake didn't know much about things in human society and did not recognize the identity of the double snake staff.

Martin reached out and grabbed the staff. The double copper snakes coiled on the staff moved upward along his right hand. After confirming something, they returned to the staff.

At the same time, countless pieces of information suddenly appeared in Martin's mind.

"Stop!"

Martin gripped the double snake staff tightly and smashed it to the ground, and all the information related to the travelers was expelled from his head.

"I just dealt with the Kryptonians yesterday, and today I'm dealing with those bastards on Mount Olympus. What bad luck!"

He muttered softly, waved his wrist, and skillfully performed a little trick to turn the double snake staff in his hand into a bracelet and hide it.

The caduceus is the symbol of Hermes.

This god first appeared in the Egyptian period. At that time, he was still in the image of an old man, the god of wisdom and sage Hermes.

After Greece became powerful, it began to plagiarize myths from all around. Hermes became the son of Zeus, changed from an old man to a young man, and became the patron saint of travelers, swindlers and shepherds.

After the rise of the Roman Empire, Hermes became Mercury in the Pantheon, again plagiarizing the identity of the protector of magic from the Egyptian god of wisdom.

Martin was sure that although he had turned into Hermes, he was not the Hermes of this world, but more like the image passed down in mythology.

Otherwise, he should be able to see the dimension where the gods live now.

When the green snake heard Martin's words, he asked curiously: "Mount Olympus, that's where the Greek gods live, what does it have to do with your identity today?"

"I don't know."

Martin shook his head slightly and said with disgust: "To be honest, I don't want to have anything to do with those bastards on Mount Olympus. Those guys, one by one, always do disgusting things."

The green snake nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

She was born with wisdom in the laboratory, with mysterious concepts in her head, but no concept of gods. Seeing that Martin hated those Greek gods, he stopped talking about it.

"Why did you just come out? Did you do something bad in there?"

The white horse looked at Martin and the green snake who came out long time later, and spoke in a coquettish tone.

Martin shook his head, and a huge wizard's hand appeared in the air and hit the white horse's head, without using any force, just giving him a lesson.

The green snake launched a psychic attack at the same time, and the white horse felt as if there were hundreds of steel needles piercing his head.

"Brother and sister, I was wrong. Please stop using your magical powers and forgive me!"

The white horse was resilient. It fell to the ground, sticking out its tongue, and begging for mercy from Martin and the green snake.

"Don't talk nonsense next time."

Martin dispelled the wizard's hand and pleaded for the white horse.

The green snake snorted coldly and taught the white horse a lesson: "Next time you dare to talk nonsense, I will turn you into an idiot, even dumber than Xiao Huang!"

The white horse got rid of the pain from the steel needle on its head, looked at the little yellow dog playing with its tail, its soft white fur stood up instantly, and it ran to Martin and flattered the green snake.

"Sister Snake is so powerful, and Lady Snake is so magnanimous, please spare me!"

"Fuck off!"

The green snake looked at the shameless look of the white horse and was so angry that it laughed. It flicked its tail and blew the face of the big horse that was in front of it away.

"Martin, let's go, I can't stand this scoundrel."

Goodman, the gorilla, was most familiar with human society. He gestured to Martin and said, "It would be better if we could find a truck, otherwise our target would be too conspicuous."

"I have a better idea." Martin smiled, and the bracelet on his hand turned into a double snake staff, which he held in his hand.

He pointed his double snake staff at Goodman, the gorilla in front of him, and then swept through the other animals in turn.

The animals were waiting for Martin to perform some cool and impressive moves, but looked left and right, only to find that nothing around them had changed.

"Martin, what's your better idea?"

Gorilla Goodman asked Martin what he wanted to do, but found that the animals were looking at him strangely, as if they saw a monster.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I..."

After the gorilla Goodman finished the first half of his sentence, he realized something was wrong. He touched his throat and said in surprise:

"I, I can actually speak."

Martin smiled and explained to them: "Not only you, but everyone can speak now. This magic will remain constant on you until I die, then the magic will expire."

Language and writing were part of Hermes' ministry, so it was not a big deal to allow some intelligent creatures to express themselves through language.

“Ohhhh, ahhhhhhh”

The animals curiously tried various ways of pronouncing the words.

Their body structure is not sufficient for them to make complex syllables like humans, and everything is done by divine magic.

Martin did not interrupt their excitement. He gripped the caduceus and drew an arrow on the road under his feet. The direction of the arrow was the location of Wayne Manor.

The moment the arrow took shape, the road in front of Martin's house began to extend, and the space was divided into countless cubes. These cubes were eliminated like Tetris, and Wayne Manor appeared directly in front of the animals.

"Cattle!"

The animals were shocked by their own voices, and then they were all stunned and full of admiration for Martin as they looked at the large manor that suddenly appeared before them.

"Come on, aren't you hungry?"

Martin wasn't being modest, he really just made a casual stroke and didn't take it seriously.

"Seriously, what else can you turn into?"

The green snake spoke, she became more and more interested in Martin and wanted to dig out the secrets of this human.

Martin tilted his head. Green Snake's voice was much gentler than he expected.

He shrugged slightly and replied, "I don't know either. At first I tried to find the source of my ability, but after a few things happened, I gave up."

"Life is full of problems. If I don't have this ability, I will still encounter other troubles."

The green snake looked at Martin who was getting depressed, shook its tail gently and said, "There's always something about you that doesn't seem to be that of an eighteen-year-old."

"Age and appearance have no meaning to me. I've been through so much."

Martin recalled the things that even Guo Mo and Rona didn't know, sighed, but quickly propped himself up with a smile.

When the animals walked into Wayne Manor, Martin waved his caduceus, and the compressed space quickly recovered, and everything returned to its original state.

"Alfred, Bruce, Dick? And Damian, you unpleasant little brat, are you all home?"

Martin led the animals into the castle, calling out their names.

Dick was the first to come out of the secret passage behind the clock. When he saw Martin, his first words were, "Wow, you've become a Hermes cosplayer today! Nice equipment on you."

"I am Hermes today."

Martin once again turned the caduceus into a bracelet and placed it on his wrist.

"That joke isn't funny at all." Dick shook his head.

Among the American people, the most popular mythology system is undoubtedly the Bible, followed by Greek or Roman mythology.

After World War II, the United States became the center of the world. The city on the hill was about to become the "city on seven hills" in the new world, and the status of Greek gods also rose.

"You're crazy, why should I joke with you?"

Martin rolled his eyes at Dick and asked Alfred, who came out second, to prepare breakfast for the animals.

Alfred readily agreed and said, "Master Wayne went to Washington to discuss technology sharing with friends who are familiar with the Wayne family."

Martin nodded and was about to say something when he was stopped by Dick.

He said in a very fatherly manner: "Bruce often deals with these things. We don't need to worry about him. Let's talk about you becoming Hermes!"

Dick grabbed Martin's arm, stared at him, and asked in disbelief, "How did you become a god?"

"Why can't I become a god?"

Martin shook off Dick's arm, put a hand on his head, pushed him away and said, "I told you I can turn into anything."

"But Hermes is one of the twelve gods of Olympus, and you became him. Where did the original Hermes go?"

"Strictly speaking, I became the Hermes of human consciousness. I am not the same person as the god of Olympus."

Dick was confused and didn't understand what Martin meant at all.

Martin shook his head slightly when he saw this: "Forget it, this kind of divine matter is actually very difficult to resolve. I'll make a manual for you someday to explain these basic concepts."

"is this okay?"

It's not that Dick can't accept that gods can be explained. After all, he is a modern man and doesn't have any religious tendencies.

What he couldn't accept was Martin's casual attitude. After all, there must be some noble things in this world!
"What's wrong with that? You want the gods to be noble, but they may not even be willing to do so!"

Martin knew more about the gods than Dick did.

"Master Martin, breakfast is ready. Considering the special circumstances of your animal friends, I have specially prepared some vegetarian food."

Alfred was very quick and had the beach ready while he was talking.

Martin looked at the animals, and the green snake said, "We don't have any dietary restrictions. As long as we can fill our stomachs, that's fine."

"Then let's eat!"

Everyone came to the living room. When Damian heard Martin's name, he hid upstairs and refused to come out.

Martin was sitting at his seat, about to start eating, when the plants in Wayne Manor suddenly bloomed, and waves of exotic floral fragrance filled the air, lingering around everyone's nose.

"Those guys from Olympus really came."

Martin put down his knife and fork, sighed, stood up and walked towards the garden.

The others looked at him in confusion and hurried to follow, only to see a group of beautiful girls wearing only gauze in the garden.

The veil draped over each girl could only cover a little of her private parts, and in a real sense, they were shining, not like living people.
