To be king [Greek mythology]

One of the food reserves came over, ready to fill his stomach first.

Minos glanced at the direction he was going, feeling a little disappointed that Thurps didn't want to talk to him, but this was much better than the expected result of Thurps asking him to leave.

He turned around and took out the stone pot and two stone bowls, went to the bank of the dark river, washed them clean and returned with a pot full of water.

Thurps had already lit a fire on the stove.

There was as much understanding between them as ever—except that Thurps stopped talking to him.

"Surpus, I have to apologize to you frankly." Minos watched as Surpus tore apart the meat and threw it into the boiling water, his tone was cautious and full of uneasiness.

Thurps didn't even give him a look.

Minos pursed his lips, "I'm hiding something from you. That animal tooth was a gift from Zeus. My brother probably came here for this. I'm sorry, I thought my brother would not I really didn’t expect it to happen to this extent.”

Thurpus, who had known for a long time that Minos had a gift from the gods that caused this incident, blew on the stove to make the fire burn more vigorously.

It's just that he really didn't expect Minos to give him the animal tooth without hesitation.

If he really valued this animal tooth so much, why would he give it to him?

If he didn't take it seriously, why didn't he say it before, so that he suffered this unreasonable disaster?

And this thing seems to be picked up and bound?

Judging from Minos' previous reaction, if he wants to live, this animal tooth cannot be separated from his body, right?

"Surpus, I'm sorry." Minos lowered his head, sitting next to Surpus, and wanted to reach out and hold Surpus's hand, but hesitated, "I know you won't care about this." , I was thinking too much, I should have told you earlier, otherwise it wouldn't have turned out like this."

Thurps stirred the contents of the stone pot, feeling very hungry.

"I swear, I will never hide anything from you again, Surpus." Minos couldn't help trembling and panic when he thought of Surpus who had brushed shoulders with death before, "I swear by the River Styx, I I really won't hide anything from you in the future."

Thurps paused, and finally turned his head to look at Minos again.

Minos tensed up suddenly, he grabbed his clothes tightly, as if he was being judged, and finally raised his head to meet Thurps' gaze.

Thurps' eyes were a little complicated.

He looked Minos up and down, the other's mental state seemed a little sluggish, his head drooped pitifully, and his eyes were begging and timid.

"What have I taught you?" Thurps finally spoke. "You've done a good job, and you've done nothing wrong."

Minos was stunned for a moment, not understanding Thurpus' meaning.

"Now, I saved you once, and you saved me once. Let's settle the matter." Thurpus turned his head, poured a bowl of soup with a little oily smell into his own bowl, and ignored Minos.

Minos did nothing wrong, but it doesn't mean he will accept the other party's behavior.

The person who was so painful that he almost stepped into the underworld with one foot was not Minos but Thurps.

Thurps didn't want to recall that feeling again.

Likewise, he didn't even want to see Minos who brought this memory to him.

The clever child understood Thurpus' meaning almost instantly, and his face suddenly turned pale.

He opened his mouth, but in the end there was no sound.

Thurpus ignored Minos and satiated himself. Seeing that there was still half of the pot left, he felt a little bit emotional that he had gotten used to cooking an extra portion of food after living together for a month.

"It shouldn't be calculated like this, Surpus." Minos finally adjusted his emotions and looked at Surpus seriously.

"You saved me once, because my thing nearly died, and then I saved you, and the latter two should cancel out." Minos said, "You also taught me those things and principles, and I owe you a lot, Thorp S."

Surpus snorted coldly, poured a bowl of broth, added a few slices of meat, and walked towards the entrance of the mongoose's cave.

Minos looked at the disdainful sneer on Thurpus's face, and his heart was extremely firm.

"I'm not leaving, Thurps—whether you'll forgive me or not."

Chapter 11

Thurps felt a little bad.

He silently looked at the bowl placed at the entrance of the snake mongoose cave. The soup in the bowl was already cold, and there were oil stars and meat floating on the soup.

Minos hesitated behind his back.

Surpus failed to see the hesitation of the child behind him. He raised his hand and tapped the stone at the entrance of the mongoose cave.

Still no movement.

Surps turned his head to look at the morning light coming in from the entrance of the cave, and rubbed his chin.

He thinks that today in the coming year should be three sticks of incense for the mongoose.

"Surpus, the meerkat went out to find those people." Minos explained, looking at Surpus very cautiously, "I have to guard you, so let it go."

Thurps was a little relieved when he heard the words, and was not surprised by Minos' decision.

He knew that the mongoose would just leave the nest that had been there for more than two years. As for whether the mongoose would be killed by those two soldiers, Thurps never thought about the possibility.

Oh, stupid humans.

How could that mongoose be something you can bully.

Just thinking about the experience of being teased by the meerkat before, Thurps felt blood and tears in his heart.

That mongoose was definitely not easy, but Surpus didn't care what the hell happened to the mongoose, he just needed to know that the mongoose had saved him and had been nice to him.

Minos looked at Surpus's calm and calm appearance, and was more or less relieved about the safety of the mongoose.

Surpus is a very cautious person, and he makes every decision with great certainty—at least in Minos' mind, Surpus has always looked confident.

Since Thurpus has such a look, it proves that the mongoose will not have a problem.

Although he didn't know why the little guy didn't return all night, but knowing that it was fine, Minos felt relieved.

He stayed up all night, and he still feels a little cold after being soaked in the night dew. The fire in the stove made him feel a lot better, and after drinking the simple broth that was always warmed by the young man, he probably felt cold. Allow him to dispel the cold in his body.

Minos picked up the bowl and poured himself a bowl of soup.

In the past, Thurps would always serve the food for him after he had served it himself, but not today.Minos was a little disappointed, but he took a deep breath in an instant, and ate the soup and meat one bite at a time.

Only after really panicking because of hunger, can we deeply appreciate the hard-won food and know how to cherish it.

Thurpus has always had the habit of eating all the food cleanly, and Minos is also very well-behaved and never wasted.

Minos could feel Thurpus' eyes on him, but he didn't look up at Thurpus.

Surpus looked at Minos who was quietly chewing food with his head down, thought for a while, put the stone bowl aside, searched around in the cave, and finally threw it in the corner every time he used it up , the last time I used it was a stone that was polished and sharpened a month ago, which is not really thin.

Thurps usually uses this to sew hides.

He broke the itchy straw rope around his neck, took the animal tooth in his hand, and began to think about how to drill a hole in this tooth.

The tie is not stable no matter what, after much deliberation, I still have to drill a hole in the animal's tooth, take something tougher and hang it around the neck to be at ease.

Thurps managed to get his life back, and there was really no reason not to cherish it.

He picked up the fast stone and scratched the animal tooth vigorously with the sharp end.

The stone snapped and broke.

"..." Thurps stared at the cut off sharp stone, and was silent for a while.

Although he guessed that this animal tooth was quite extraordinary, it was a bit stupid to directly break the hard rock that he had been sharpening for several months.

This is a baby.

Thurpus held the animal tooth in his hand, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Winners in life are simply hated.

But thinking of Minos's current wealth and life, and even the presents that Zeus gave him, Thurpus felt a sense of darkness.

It is not easy to be more happy in life.

Especially for the protagonist who felt that he was reborn into this world from the beginning, maybe he could live the life of the protagonist who punches Olympus, kicks the Netherland and the sea world, and tears the gods alive. For Thurps, who was brutally defeated by reality in six years.

Even these small things were enough to keep him entertained for a long time after he had tasted failure.

At least until he has enough strength to fulfill his inner ambitions, every time Thurps can take a step forward - even if he just survives one more day in this damn forest, it will make him feel satisfied and happy .

Minos could clearly feel that Thurpus was always full of confidence in everything, as if the road ahead was smooth.

But in fact they still often hungry and full, but Thurps never felt that there was anything worthy of his sadness. Thurps was always optimistic, and no difficulty or pain could defeat him, just like on the rock wall Weeds that strive to grow and take root to absorb nutrients are full of unyielding and upward power.

Among other things, just look at the utensils in the cave, all of which were slowly polished by Thurps bit by bit.

It was a labor of patience, but Thurps was able to do it all.

Before Minos made this mistake, Surpus also helped him a lot
