"I'm not from this world, how do you know?" Xia Zhe exclaimed.
After hearing what Plato said, Xia Zhe was completely stunned.
After all these years of traveling through time, this was the first time someone had pointed out so directly that they were a time traveler. Xia Zhe was terrified.
Hearing King Stobi's strange expression and nodding in agreement, Plato seemed encouraged and spoke again.
"I have always said that our world is imperfect. Above our world, there is a world of ideas. People from there can easily do things that the strong people in this world cannot do. They are beyond the three realms and are not in the four elements! Today, Aristotle, do you believe it?" Plato said.
"Disciple is sincerely convinced! It seems that I was wrong!"
After hearing Xia Zhe’s personal admission and thinking about Stoby’s crazy rise in recent years, Aristotle had no choice but to admit defeat.
For many years, Aristotle and Plato have been arguing about whether the so-called world of ideas really exists.
To this end, he wrote books and won more and more supporters, who together opposed Plato's mystical tendencies and laid the foundation for physics.
However, I never expected it.
King Stobi actually admitted that he came from another world.
In this way, Plato's philosophical view is correct!
If Aristotle had not already extinguished his anger and achieved spiritual enlightenment during the Great Northern War, he might have died of vomiting blood due to anger.
Wait a minute?
Are you saying I'm from the Kingdom of God?
It turns out you don’t really know my origins!
Too much talk leads to mistakes. Plato explained a few sentences with high spirits, but Xia Zhe found a flaw in his explanation.
It turns out that you have made up a theory about the existence of a fairy world in your mind, and you want to use me as an example to prove that you are right!
That really scared me just now!
You almost tricked me into giving you some useful information!
"Where I come from means nothing to you! If you come to me just to prove that your theory is correct, please forgive me for asking you to leave!" Thinking of this, Xia Zhe's face darkened and his tone became tough.
I have no interest in the fight between you philosophers!
I only care about my own business, don't drag me into it!
"I brought the heart of a king, but King Stobi was not moved?" Plato smiled instead of getting angry when he heard this and spoke slowly.
"The heart of a king? How could you have the heart of a king!" Xia Zhe was shocked again.
This world-shaking sage is truly capable. You've uncovered everything about my secret quest for the King's Heart!
If you had taken action earlier and competed with me for it, I’m afraid I might not have been able to win against you!
What a pity, what a pity!
You are too late!
I have already obtained eight of the nine Hearts of Kings, and the last one has also landed in Rome.
You can't fool me by saying this!
Seeing that Xia Zhe didn't believe it at all, Plato chuckled, reached into his arms, took out a white round stone, and placed it on the table.
This stone was crystal clear, emitting a breathtaking and strange brilliance from its center. Aside from the color, it actually looked exactly like the eight King's Hearts Xia Zhe had in his hand!
Taking a deep breath, Xia Zhe subconsciously turned his head to look at Lillian.
Before he could speak, Lillian started talking first.
"Your Majesty! Lillian has experienced this King's Heart, and it's genuine! Lord Plato said that he left Athens and sailed west to find the continent of Atlantis. Finally, he found this thing on a small island in the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea. Then, he brought it to Rome. After preaching for several months, he left Rome and went to Syracuse, Sicily." Lillian told the story.
"That's right! When I was in Syracuse, I met my most annoying disciple, Aristotle. He said that he was taking a ship of the Greek expeditionary fleet and wanted to visit the Roman mainland! From him, I heard a lot of new things in Greece in recent years, and it also made me realize the king's true intentions." Plato continued.
"What is my real intention? Tell me about it." Xia Zhe said disdainfully after hearing this.
Even if you can see that I am collecting the King's Heart, it doesn't mean that I am from another world.
Xia Zhe felt that Plato was also a human being, and he would probably guess that he wanted immortality and a lasting rule.
After he finishes talking nonsense, you can buy the gem with your own money and the job will be done.
If Plato refuses to sell, I will have no choice but to use force.
Although everyone in this world respected wise men, since he was the king of unified Greece, no one dared to say anything if he wanted to make a wise man lose face.
Besides, even if you want to say something, it's no use.
Now that I have collected all the Hearts of the King, I can make a wish and leave this world. What does it matter to me if you are dissatisfied?
"You probably want to return to the world of ideas. In this imperfect world of ours, the only way to achieve this goal is to sacrifice nine hearts of kings and make a wish to the god Zeus! This is a white heart of kings, and I am willing to give it to the king as a gift. However, do you know where you should go to make a wish? The statue of Zeus in Olympia is not the real place where the god is. If you don't find the right place, you can't go back even if you collect all the hearts of kings." Plato smiled.
Hearing Plato's guess was so accurate once again, Xia Zhe had to admit his admiration. This old man was indeed a recognized wise man throughout Greece, with a strong ability to analyze and judge!
More importantly, Xia Zhe learned the most crucial thing from Plato. It turns out that to gather all nine King's Hearts, one needs to go to the right place and make a wish. But where exactly is this right place?
"Saint Master Plato, your reputation is well-deserved! Even in the world of ideas, I have heard of your name! Tell me the correct place to make a wish, and I can give you whatever you want!" Thinking of this, Xia Zhe was unwilling to wait even for a second, and hurriedly asked.
In order to make Plato happy, Xia Zhe also deliberately hinted that Plato's reputation has surpassed this world!
Of course, this is not cheating.
Because, before traveling through time, Xia Zhe had indeed heard of the names of the three great Greek sages.
Anyway, you defined the time I came to as the world of ideas. I'm not lying when I say this based on your definition!
In this perfect world of ideals, there are people who have heard of my name!
Hearing this, Plato was more excited than any compliment.
He took a deep breath and quickly gave Xia Zhe's answer.
"If King Strobius wants to go back, I, Plato, will definitely support him. However, the place where the wish was made has been lost for thousands of years. Now only my teacher Socrates knows it. We might as well turn back immediately and return to the vicinity of Boeotia. My teacher Socrates should still be in the holy city of Delphi, studying the secrets of the oracle of the sun god!" said Plato.
