To be king [Greek mythology]

"The king has punished us."

"No, that's not what I'm going to say." Minos snorted, his voice lowered, and he paused every word.

"That man is mine, don't even try to touch him."

The author has something to say: 1. This article is a fan of Greek mythology, not a saint. There will be no plot or involvement of a saint.

2. Whether Minos is the eldest son or not, I have read a lot of information, but I have not seen a definite statement.

3. Among the three brothers, whether it is Salpedon or Aiagos, each has its own legend. Here is Salpedon, but the legend of Aiagos will be integrated later.

4. There are a lot of private settings in this article, so be sure!don't want!Textual research.

Chapter 20

Sarpedon's expression was momentarily unnatural.

If Thurpus had heard the conversation between Minos and Sarpedon, he would probably have washed his mind about how precocious the son of Zeus really is.

Minos looked at his brother, who did not tell Thurpus that Sarpedon was actually born of his own kind.

Despite being twins, Sarpedon doesn't look much like him.

Just because he was born of his compatriots, Minos’ attitude towards Sarpedon is somewhat closer than that of Radamandes. He has always been very kind to Sarpedon, and he will always distribute things to Sarpedon. Erpedon half.

Minos still couldn't figure out why Sarpedon stabbed him in the back with Radamandes.

Sarpedon remained silent.

Minos snorted coldly, let go of his hand after the warning, and looked up at the city wall, the lord of the city who was looking down on all this.

After the king's eyes met his, he nodded slightly, and then looked at Hydra and Thurpus sitting on Hydra's back.

Surpus looked up and looked at the king standing quietly on the city wall, the priest beside the king, and the warriors with fierce breaths.

Once he was also a member who had the right to stand there.

It was the one who stood closest to the king—nearer than the priests.

It's a pity that everything has been wiped out with the intruder's iron hooves and blades. Surpus retracted his gaze, looked at Minos who was smiling back at him, and patted Hydra on the head, "Let's go there."

"I'm not going." Xu Dela snorted, his tail flicked and splashed a huge splash, his tone was full of disgust, "The smell of life is too strong."

Thurps raised his eyebrows, "Then put me down."

Xu Dela didn't say much this time, he lowered his head and let Thurps slide down.

Hydra's actions aroused everyone's ideas, and Thurps, who came down from Hydra's head, became their focus.

"Remember to ask me about the way of Aggos." Xu Dela muttered, "Don't forget, otherwise I will stay in Crete and never leave."

"En." Thurps patted Hydra's head.

More than two years of quiet life in the forest made Thurpus unable to adapt to the attention of so many people for a while, but after he landed, everyone's eyes immediately shifted from his face to the most obvious shackles on his ankles .

Thurps paused slightly, feeling uncomfortable all over.

For the first time, Minos saw Thurpus look a little helpless-he thought Thurpus would never feel this way.

Thurps has always behaved with confidence and confidence, and it was the first time in Minos' impression that he showed his timidity like today.

The meerkat sensed Surpus' emotions, stretched out its paw and scratched Surpus' calf.

Thurpus took a deep breath, and walked over by himself without waiting for Minos to step towards him.

Sarpedon's eyes became brighter and brighter. Radamandis, who was lifted up by the warrior, looked at Thurps with doubts and a trace of inquiry in his eyes.

"This is the one who saved me." Minos raised his voice and looked at the king and priest who were talking on the city wall.

The king and priest who ruled the entire Minos glanced down, turned and went down the city wall.

The gates are open.

Minos held Surpus' hand and pulled him forward. The meerkat tugged at Minos's hair unhappily, then lay quietly on Minos' head and remained still.

Thurpus was full of uneasiness—even though he had thought about the current scene countless times before, he still couldn't look at it calmly when he was actually on the scene, especially Minos, who was his only reliance, seemed really uncomfortable. How reliable.

"Hydra told us not to forget about it." Thurpus turned his head and said to Minos.

"Well, I remember." Minos nodded, and gave a warning glance at Sarpedon, who was about to move over.

Minos took Thurpus, followed by Rhadamandis and Sarpedon who had to go to face the king together.

After entering the city, they left the warriors directly and went straight to the palace where the king lived.

It was the first time Thurps faced the king of another city-state, and he didn't know what kind of character this king had compared to his father.

The king of Crete was sitting on the throne, looking at the little ghosts in the palace, but at first he looked at Thurpus, "Slave, you saved Minos."

Thurpus pursed his lips, and Minos clenched and loosened his hand.

"Yes, dear King of Crete." Thurpus knelt down with his eyes downcast.

"You are not the son of slaves in Crete." The king of Crete looked at Thurpus, who was kneeling, "I remember that a group of slaves were sent two years ago—you were the slaves who escaped at that time."

Minos and Thurps' hearts sank at the same time.

According to this meaning, it seems that it is to ask for guilt, not to follow Minos and Thurps's thinking, to save Minos, and to remove slavery as a matter of course.

Thurps took a deep breath, he really forgot that it is a capital crime for a slave to escape from the master's control without permission.

"Yes, respected King of Crete." As soon as Thurpus finished speaking, Minos took a sudden step forward and stood beside the kneeling Surpus.

He need not bow the knee to the king of Crete.

"He saved me." Minos stared at the king closely.

"He is a runaway slave." The King of Crete glanced at Minos, "It is a capital crime."

"He saved me, so the merits and demerits should be equalized." Minos retorted.

"Saving you is equal to escaping, that's enough." King Crete nodded, "Then, you can't get him out of slavery."

Minos narrowed his eyes, and looked at the King of Crete with a startling cruelty.

King Crete didn't care.

Because the meerkat on Minos' head kept scratching his hair, there was really no way to make people feel afraid of Minos' current expression-not to mention that Minos was just a child, even Zeus Son, that was just a child.

Thurpus frowned, and grabbed Minos' ankle when he could barely take a step forward.

Minos looked down at him.

Surpus looked up at Minos with calm eyes, and shook his head at him.

Minos' current status and ability cannot compete with the King of Crete at all, and it is obviously irrational to challenge the King of Crete now.

A slave is a slave.

After going around and going around, I still couldn't get rid of this humiliating name.

Thurpus' gaze calmed down the anger and dissatisfaction in Minos' heart. He looked at the King of Crete who was sitting on the throne, and looked at Thurpus with some surprise eyes, "I remember not being alone own slave."

King Crete nodded, "You can do whatever you want."

Minos received this answer, and ignored the movement of the King of Crete and his two brothers. He bent down and pulled Surpus up, dragged him out of the main hall, and went straight to the temple.

The King of Crete looked at the two children who had been left behind, and snorted coldly, "You guys will leave it to Minos to deal with it later, so please yourself."

Radamandis and Sarpedon held their breath, looked up at King Crete, finally gritted their teeth, and followed the direction Minos and Thurps left.

It might be too late to ask for mercy now.

"Minos." Surpus held Minos and slowed him down, "What's wrong?"

"I didn't do what I promised you." Minos gradually stopped, with obvious frustration in his voice, he turned to look at Thurpus, his eyes fell on the shackles on his feet.

Surpus felt that Minos was not in the right mood, so he reached out and hugged the mongoose off Minos' head, "So?"

"From the very beginning..." Minos took a deep breath, looked up at Thurpus, his eyes looked a little red, his fists were clenched tightly, and Thurpus felt a little pain in his clasped wrist, " Am I useless?"

"Why do you think you're useless?" Thurps raised his eyebrows.

"Since I met you, I've been causing you trouble. Originally, you didn't have to suffer from hunger alone, but after you brought me along, there was always a shortage of food. I even...almost killed you." Mino Si pursed his lips, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt depressed. When he saw Thurps, who was dying, the sense of powerlessness surged up again, and his heart and soul were pulled tightly and he kept falling, "I promised at the beginning. You want to help you get rid of slavery, but I didn't do it."

"You can do it, Minos." Thurpus sighed and patted Minos on the head, "When you become the king of Crete, everything will be at your command. It's all about your words."

Minos shook his head, "But there are Radamandes and Sarpedon—I'm no better than them, otherwise I wouldn't be..."

"Listen, Minos." Thurps interrupted Minos, putting his hands on Minos' shoulders, "These words are enough, don't take it to heart, you are excellent, Minos , really excellent
