To be king [Greek mythology]

Not much, just some principles of encouragement and persistence, as well as some life attitudes he has learned, which are very useful for the lonely and difficult life in the forest, but in this place full of human beings, it’s just a matter of life. It seems a little insufficient.

Thurps looked down at the shackles on his feet and narrowed his eyes.

The shackles can be removed, but the branded marks on the ankles cannot be removed.

This is a shame that will carry him for the rest of his life.

Thurps could feel every step he took, the feeling of the irreparable scars covered by the shackles touching the cold shackles, reminding him of the fact that his country was ruined and his family was destroyed all the time.

He's going to make those who caused it pay.

Although Thurps is optimistic and open-minded, he is far from being able to forgive those who invaded his homeland, killed his father, and made his family and people slaves.

The black-haired child raised his head and looked at the city-state of Crete, which could be seen directly from the pier, and the breath of a human-like communal life rushed over his face.

Thurps took a deep breath.

Even the unpleasant smell of fish and rot can make him feel extremely happy at this moment.

The meerkat, who was gnawing on the fish, stood upright, rubbed the fish to Surpus' feet, and gnawed on the fish, just like Thurpus, showing an expression of great enjoyment and satisfaction.

This is where humans should really live.

Not that damn forest.

Minos reached an agreement with Hydra, who was grumbling all kinds of displeasure, thanks to that Typhon tooth.

"Surpus." Minos turned around and saw Thurpus sitting on the ground, carefully making a small opening in a small snakeskin sac that the meerkat had bitten, and carefully rubbing back and forth on the stone knife.

Minos clearly remembered the color of the liquid leaking from the snake's skin.

That is the venom of the Hydra.

"What are you doing?" Minos' eyes widened.

"Quenching poison." Thurps paused, looked at the Cretan warrior who opened the city gate and guarded against the huge monster beside the pier, and grinned sinisterly, "Don't your two brothers like to bully you together? Is it? And this group of... warriors."

Minos followed his line of sight, not unexpectedly seeing Radamandis and Sarpedon behind the warrior who came out to join in the fun.

He responded, scanned it once, then turned his gaze back, and looked at Thurps intently.

Those two brothers are too annoying, it's better to see Thurps wash his eyes.

"I taught you, what should you do if you are bullied?" Thurps said, carefully putting aside the stone knife covered in venom.

Minos paused, "You said...beat me back."

After finishing speaking, Minos' eyes lit up, and his eyes, looking in the direction of Radamandes and Sarpedon, were also deep and a little mysterious.

Chapter 18

Thurps has realized his situation from the moment he stepped on the pier.

He is now bound to Minos.

If it was hard for Minos in Crete, it was hard for him.

Radamandis and Sarpedon are not conscientious, they are much more ruthless than his younger brothers, and they just want to kill Minos without anyone noticing.

His younger brothers could only fight with him by waving their fat little arms and fleshy claws.

The son of Zeus is so cool and unparalleled, even the battle between brothers is much worse than that of ordinary humans.

Killing people at every turn is simply frightening to death.

However, Minos is different from him in that Minos is the second child. It was clearly stated before that he is six years old this year, and Radamandis and Sarpedon are not much older.

In contrast, the younger brothers who only twisted their buttocks to fight with him, but couldn't kill him, were so cute—they looked cute too, but I don't know if they are still alive now.

Thurpus sighed as he thought about it. After staying in the forest for two years, he almost couldn't remember the appearance of those chubby little balls.

When we are lucky enough to meet each other in the future, we will no longer be able to recognize each other.

Being marked as a slave, it is very difficult to get out of slavery and regain your status and dignity.

Not everyone is as lucky as him.

"What's the matter, Thurps?" Minos glanced at Hydra, who was unceremoniously devouring the few harvests of today's fishermen, without any scruples about the warriors who were approaching from the gate of the city. Ladies, walk over a few steps and sit down next to Surpus, carefully take the snakeskin pouch from the mouth of the meerkat who is not afraid of Hydra's venom, take off the stone knife around your waist, and apply it little by little. On the stone knife.

Surpus glanced at him, feeling that Minos was more concerned about rubbing the poison than he was.

He raised his eyebrows, "Why are you applying poison? I might want to kill people, just beat them up."

Minos paused, "It's prepared for you."

"..." Thurps was stunned for a moment, then looked away without saying a word.

"You said, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, so I will treat them as they have treated me before." Minos put the poisoned stone knife next to Surpus's stone knife to dry together.

The two rough stone knives were both made by Surpus, and judging from their shape, it can be seen that the person who polished them was not very skilled.

Thurps glanced at Minos.

"I remember everything you said, Thurps." Minos sat up and nodded, "It is impossible for the king not to find out what they did, and tell him directly when the time comes. According to his habit, he will directly Leave Radamandis and Sarpedon to me."

Thurps moved aside with a little disgust.

Minos looked hurt.

Thurps looked at him for a while, and the other's brown eyes, which were much lighter than black, felt wet against the light.

The black-haired child was silent for a while, then moved back with an unhappy face.

Minos grinned suddenly, and leaned over to rub against him, holding Thurps' hand.

It's a way he's only recently discovered - Thurps can't stand him putting on that look.

And Minos knew that Thurps' attitude towards him had softened a lot, otherwise he should be the same as before, and he wouldn't even get a straight look from Thurps.

Thurpus shook off Minos' hand in disgust, and finally couldn't help moving away, picked up the mongoose and placed it between him and Minos.

Minos looked down at the mongoose, his eyes narrowed.

The meerkat looked up at Minos, still holding an unfinished fish in its paws.

There was a mockery in the little guy's eyes.

Minos grinned grimly and strangled it by the neck.

Surpus glanced at them, silently turned the stone knife over and continued to dry it.

Thurpus has Typhon's teeth and tendons on his body, so he doesn't have to worry about Hydra's poison—the reason why he was careful when quenching the poison is because once a drop of Hydra's venom leaks into this sea area, the pier It has to be scrapped.

Thurps thought of the pits and foul smelling caves that had been corroded because of Hydra's fight.

If Hydra's water-spraying head hadn't washed those things clean, it is estimated that the forest of Crete would become a barren land full of foul smell and miasma sooner or later.

In fact, protected by those two things of Typhon, as long as someone didn't cut off his hands, feet, head or take out his heart, he wouldn't be able to die.

This is what Xu Dela told him.

It is precisely because of this that Thurps decided to soften his attitude towards Minos.

Minos had given him such important things, and Thurpus had no reason not to believe that Minos was sincerely sorry and wanted to make amends.

Although the city-state of Crete has been at peace for many years, the brave and outstanding warriors have never stopped their bloody conquests—the meat in the city-state that comes from the forest is brought by these warriors themselves.

As well as the Colosseum outside the city, although only some slaves go up on weekdays, these soldiers will go there when they are free.

These warriors knew nothing about beasts or men.

They acted very quickly, and it didn't take long for them to assemble and leave the city-state.

Not long after the warriors of Crete left the city gate, they saw Hydra, who had eaten all the fish around him, and was quietly lying on the pier basking in the sun, as well as Minos and Thurpus next to Hydra.

The warriors recognized Minos. Minos was originally the current lord of the city-state of Crete. Among the three successors, Minos was relatively the most important one among the three successors. For one thing, the warriors were much more impressed with Minos.

However, Minos suddenly disappeared one day three months ago, and he searched all over Crete, but he could not find any trace.

The king was also furious because of this incident, and punished Radamandes and Sarpedon severely.

The reason is that as brothers, after discovering that Minos was missing, instead of feeling sad, they acted gloatingly, especially Sarpedon.

Of course, the reason is the reason, but apart from these two heirs, even the slaves who took care of Minos’ daily life were not punished. Among them, some smart people can smell a little tricky.

The king is not so easy to fool, the same great man also has clear rewards and punishments, whoever is wrong will be punished.

The reason is not important, what is important is who is really punished.

Radamandis and Sarpedon couldn't leave the room for more than half a month after that, and even now they are still crying out for pain when they bump into each other.

To make the king, who has always been afraid of the existence of Zeus and has always maintained a lukewarm attitude towards these three little devils, become so furious, those two little devils must have done something terrible.

Might as well make the king
