To be king [Greek mythology]

tied through the viper's mouth, which no longer oozes venom.

Prepare to kill and eat meat later.

Thurpus thought so, put the mortar aside, and looked up at Minos, "Can you make a fire?"

The ninth-level life cripple pursed his lips and shook his head.

This kind of thing is done by slaves, why ask him?

"..." Surpus looked at him silently for a while, then got up and grabbed a handful of plants that had been dried up by the wind from a flat stone slab beside him, and threw them into the stone mortar. I poured some water and pounded it, "Is this possible?"

Minos remained silent.

"Minos, you must first know that this is my territory, and you are standing on my territory now." Surpus stretched out a finger and shook it, "Second, I took in You, you have to do something to repay, it’s not easy to live here, especially when we are so young; third, don’t treat me as a slave, before I was handcuffed, I was the child of the lord of the city.”

And he is the eldest son.

Thurps felt a little sad when he thought about the vastly different life before and now.

After all, they are forced by life.

Minos looked at Thurpus carefully. Although Thurpus handled these chores very skillfully and neatly, and he couldn't tell from his appearance that he looked like he had said, but when he looked closely, he was indeed still. It has a taste that is a little bit different from other slaves.

The child of the lord of the city who will become a slave is most likely to die.

A city-state in ruins, the whole city-state becomes the slave of another city-state.

This kind of thing couldn't be more normal, and this reason can also explain why Thurps had such an attitude towards him before.

Minos guessed that Surpus probably escaped, but he had the impression that there had been no conquests on Crete in recent years.

Few people would have the guts to lie about this kind of thing, because every time they utter a word, there are gods watching and listening above their heads. When Netherland is judged, every lie will increase the weight of the soul.

This makes many people who know a little bit about the judgment of the underworld cautious in their words and deeds.

No one wants to suffer after death.

The brown curly-haired kid with a good mind didn't express anything verbally to the three points Thurps made, but he leaned over to look at the stone mortar, nodded and said that he would learn to do it, "What do you want to do?"

"Make poison." Surpus handed the stone mortar to Minos, "It's convenient for hunting. Be careful when you pound it."

"But this kind of grass...can detoxify this kind of snake venom." Minos looked at Thurpus, who was skillfully arranging the dead leaves and two branches and began to rub them, and said so.

Thurps, who had no knowledge of pharmacology, was expressionless, paused slightly, moved his position, and pointed his buttocks and the back of his head at Minos.

Just ignore such humiliating things, he thought.

"Surpus?" Minos looked at the slave suspiciously, thinking that he hadn't noticed what he said, so he repeated it again.

"...I got it, I got it." Thurps glanced back at Minos, then continued rubbing branches to make a fire.

Minos saw a tinge of red on the tips of Thurpus' ears.

He froze for a moment, then squatted aside and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Thurpus turned his head and glared at him, Nunu presumptuously said, "Go and wash the mortar, and bring back a pot of water by the way."

As he said that, he took out a stone pot that was heavy but not heavy, and had a bumpy surface that looked like a crude handicraft, and threw it to Minos.

Minos, who had never done this kind of work before, looked down at the dark and sticky mortar, and finally resigned to his fate, took the mortar and stone pot and ran to the bank of the dark river, rubbing against the light coming in from the hole. Silk light cleans the mortar.

As Thurps said, this is his territory now, and Minos feels that it is better for him to be more obedient.

After all, he has become a grasshopper tied to a rope, Minos thought so, and decided to find a chance to talk to Surpus about his plan.

Summer is coming to an end, and the cold winter after autumn is not going to be too pleasant.

He believed that Surpus, once the son of the lord of the city, would not refuse his offer of exchange.

Being branded as a slave is usually a lifetime thing. If Thurpus didn't want to stay in this forest for the rest of his life, he would not refuse his proposal.

Minos looked at the stone mortar that had been cleaned, and filled another half of the pot with water. He didn't know how to bring the two things back at the same time.

After staring at the surface of the flowing dark river for a while, Minos simply put the mortar into the stone pot, and trotted back with the stone pot in his hand.

"Surpus." When Minos came back with the stone pot, the dried grass was no longer on the flat stone slab where the detoxifying grass was drying.

Thurps had already lit a fire, squatting next to the rough stove with some wet mud, shaking his hands that were hot from rubbing.

Hearing this, he glanced back at Minos and asked him to put the stone pot on the stove.

"You threw the mortar in?!" Thurps stared wide-eyed, "Aren't you afraid of poisoning yourself?"

"Isn't there that grass?" Minos didn't believe that Surpus would throw away the grass. He put the stone pot on the stove, took out the stone mortar, and then looked at the pot eagerly.

He is very hungry.

Thurpus looked at the longing in Minos' brown eyes, smashed his mouth, got up and put aside the carefully hidden condiments - of course he found it himself, threw it in the water and boiled it. There are some salty or sweet things in the meeting.

Of course, there are some identifiable things that remove fishy smell and increase flavor, such as ginger, onion and garlic.

In the wild, the amount is not too much, but it does not grow too slowly anyway.

When you have a new friend, just spend some extravagant food.

Since the snake venom was wasted by him, the snake had to be kept.

He got up again to take down the dried rabbit meat that had been hung up to dry by the straw rope he rubbed.

Thurps doesn't have any complicated dishes. Whether it's for himself or for others, he almost throws it directly into the pot.

Edible mushrooms, dried rabbit meat, and chopped green onions were thrown into the stone pot and covered with a nondescript lid, and Thurps went to toss the poisonous snake again.

There is only one bowl, and Surpus got a sunken stone and slowly chiseled it out with his own hands.

Thurps thought for a while, and generously gave it to Minos.

When the fragrance wafted out, the two children who were just growing up started growling in unison.

Glancing at each other and smiling, Thurps howled that it was so hot, and at the same time moved the stone pot with good heat transfer from the stove.

Minos stood aside and looked at him nervously, he was relieved after making sure that the opponent's hand was fine.

The two of them ran to the bank of the dark river to wash their hands, and when they came back, they squatted by the stove and ate hard.

Thurps thought he was nothing short of a genius.

Leveraged.

"Surpus." Minos suddenly raised his head and called out to Surpus.

Thurps ate without raising his head: "Huh?"

"Do you want to get out of here?"

"...that's a good question."

Thurps swallowed a mouthful of the soup, then stretched out one leg and moved his ankle, revealing a corner of the slave mark.

"I can help you with this," Minos said.

Thurps looked up at him, narrowing his eyes.

"Let me introduce myself again." Minos sat upright, "I am Minos, one of the heirs of the city-state of Crete, my mother is the Phoenician princess Europa, and the other half comes from the king of the gods Zeus."

Thurps suddenly felt that there was a meat stalk there, and it couldn't go up or down.

Chapter 3

Surpus looked at Minos, and when he heard that this place was Crete, he finally remembered who Minos was.

Before coming to this ancient world, Thurpus didn't know much about Greek mythology.

But I have heard it more or less - I have heard some fragmentary information from various places. Although I can't piece together the entire system of gods, I am familiar with the slightly famous ones.

Especially after the broadcast of "X Fighter", which was the childhood of most people, Thurps did not say that he knew the gods of Greek mythology well, but he did remember quite clearly those gods who took the lead in this film.

After coming to this world, he was popularized by his father to the entire god system, and found that most of the X fighters are donkeys.

But thanks to this film, he was not too overwhelmed when he first came to this world.

There are familiar things, which can make him feel a little bit more secure.

"The son of Zeus?" He snorted, looked at the empty bowl of Minos, hesitated, and filled it up for him, "Since he is the son of Zeus and the successor of the city-state of Crete, why? will be here?"

And so hungry.

Thurpus watched Minos eating, although his movements seemed quite educated, but the speed of eating could not conceal the fact that he was tortured by hunger.

It's a little pathetic.

"Modification is one of the successors." Minos said vaguely, "My two brothers are also eligible to inherit."

Thurps nodded and understood in seconds.

Brothers fighting for the throne, he understood.

Surpus didn't show any curiosity anymore, he lowered his head to eat the meat, and by the way seriously considered the possibility of the conditions Minos had promised before.

It is indeed impossible for him to stay here forever.

Humans live in groups, and he is no exception. Living alone in the forest for two years almost made him lose his voice.
