Rise of an Empire

"Brother, do you really want to go to that kind of place?"

On a mountain peak nearly 100 kilometers west of the city of Crete, Helkas continued his ineffective persuasion.

After finally finding a golden thigh, he didn't want the other party to die so quickly.

Being the only attendant of a new hero, Hulkas felt that his future life would be beautiful and his future would be bright. More than ten years later, when Conrad's name resounded throughout the world, he too He will definitely become a great noble.

In the past two days, he would wake up laughing even when he fell asleep.

As a young man who ran away from the island of Keshia to pursue his dream, Helkas discovered for the first time that his dream was so close.

But who knows, this boss of ours seems to have some bad brains.

"Why, there's a problem." The Duke smiled slightly and looked at the bottomless cave on the top of the mountain and said with a smile.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

Originally, he didn't know whether the woman Wonder Woman had traveled through time. After all, it was his first time encountering the explosion of the gate of time and space, and he didn't really understand it.

But who would have thought that the woman not only came to this world, but also fell into this cave.

Isn't this a God-given opportunity?

Of course I have to settle the debt with her carefully.

"But brother, that's the Minotaur." Helkas looked at Conrad, who was about to enter the maze with a determined expression, and felt a headache.

Of course, if the Minotaur could be killed, it would be a great deed that would immediately reverberate throughout Greece, but if the Minotaur was so easy to kill, only the legendary hero Theseus would not be able to successfully kill it for thousands of years. .

The Minotaur is also the legendary Minotaur. It is the first Minotaur in the world. Not to mention ancient Greek mythology, it is famous even in the entire world mythological monster system.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, the legendary hero Theseus, the lord of Athens, came to the Kingdom of Crete and killed the first Minotaur in the world. Theseus was also remembered forever because of this incident. history.

It’s just that there are actually many cubs of Minotaurs in the underground palace. After hundreds of years of growth, those minotaurs have gradually developed into an extremely large race. If they were not blocked by Mount Iji, maybe they would be the ones they are now. The Kingdom of Crete has become the country of the Minotaurs

So at the banquet, the King of Crete made a request like the new hero Conrad, asking him to help clean up the tauren race in Yiji Mountain. Not to mention annihilation, at least kill some of them. This relieves the pressure caused by too many tauren.

The underground palace in Yiji Mountain is so complicated that ordinary people would seek death if they entered it. Only non-human creatures like heroes could come out alive.

Originally, Conrad was too lazy to pay attention to the request of the King of Crete. He was just planning to earn some travel expenses here and then leave. Who cares who you are?

But when the King of Crete made his second request, he immediately became interested.

According to a Cretan king, a daring female thief stole the treasures from his treasury and was chased by his guards. She even escaped into the crypt of Mount Iji.

He hoped that Conrad could help catch the female thief while getting to know the Minotaur, and then bring the treasure back.

To this end, the King of Crete expressed his willingness to pay a huge sum of one thousand gold coins and to betroth his princess to Conrad.

Conrad really didn't like the princess of the King of Crete who had just turned sixteen. After all, her appearance was really unsatisfactory.

Who says that princesses are all beautiful and fragrant? You may have never seen a real princess look like.

But regarding the female thief who fled into the heart of the mountain, the Duke said that he had an old score to settle with her.

From the description of the King of Crete and his guards, Conrad knew that the so-called female thief must be Wonder Woman.

As for why the other party is regarded as a female thief?

This question requires only a little speculation.

Even he was targeted by two groups of desperate slave traders on the road, not to mention the long-legged and beautiful Wonder Woman.

Especially the other party is wearing divine equipment. For people in this world, that divine equipment is simply a moving treasure house.

A slave girl who is so beautiful is a treasure with a sky-high price, not to mention that the other party also brings a magical weapon.

It is estimated that the old boy King of Crete is interested in making money and wants to take advantage of Wonder Woman's treasures, and maybe even people.

It's just that everyone mistakenly underestimated Wonder Woman's strength. If the opponent didn't want to kill people casually, the guards of the King of Crete might not be enough to fight the opponent.

"It's just a bunch of tauren, let me teach them how to behave in a minute." In response to Helkas's obstruction, Conrad patted his shoulder lightly and said calmly.

Seeing how determined Conrad was, Hulkas had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Now he really wished he could go back in time to yesterday and then slap himself in the face several times.

You were so impatient to surrender, now it’s over

As Conrad's attendant, he must follow him no matter what he wants to do.

So even though he was frightened in his heart, Helkas could only brace himself and tell the slaves behind him to follow him.

In addition to the original Ah Da and Ah Er, he used Conrad's bounty to buy four stronger war slaves. Although these six slaves were definitely of no use in the cave exploration, they could at least help carry the burden. Order supplies or something.

At worst, these slaves can be used as bait, and at least they can delay it for two more minutes.

The soldiers guarding the crypt had already been notified and saluted Conrad with a fist in one hand.

The status of hero is still very useful in Greek city-states. Even kings must treat each other with courtesy, let alone ordinary people.

The entrance to the crypt was so dark that it was impossible to see the bottom. Helkas lit a torch and threw it down, only to see the light slowly falling downwards for half a minute before disappearing.

"How deep is this?" Helkas asked fearfully. It's so deep, I'm afraid if I jump down, I'll never come back out.

"According to detection, the entrance to the crypt is two hundred and forty yards away. As for the inside of the crypt, no one knows," the guard captain guarding the entrance to the crypt quickly replied.

"How to get down?" The Duke turned his head and asked the captain of the guard.

Although he could directly use the levitation technique to go down, Helkas and the slaves couldn't fly down.

"You can use a sling." The guard waved his hand, and dozens of guards immediately carried a bundle of thick and long cables over.
