To be king [Greek mythology]

Only one or two compliments will be given when the performance is good, which is extremely strict.

But now in front of so many people, saying the implicit meaning is to establish him as the real heir?

Even though there is no such thing as a complete heir in the city-state, the treatment and education enjoyed by the king who truly becomes his heir in his heart is very different from other candidates.

The King of Crete glanced at the people in the main hall, and the people he was looking at silently withdrew their gazes and continued to pay attention to the water curtain.

"How is it?" asked the King of Crete.

Minos took a deep breath, his eyes almost bursting out!

"Okay!" The child's voice was crisp, short and full of energy.

The warriors began to be a little worried about whether the beast tide could survive this time safely.

The King of Crete looked at Minos with satisfaction.

Regardless of whether there was a real beast tide this time, or just an accident, the King of Crete was willing to give Minos a chance to show himself.

Wait for that little slave...it seems to be Thurps?

When he comes back, it's time to have an in-depth exchange, such as what happened in Attica three years ago, and how he subdued Xu Dela.

The king of Crete was thinking this, when suddenly the quiet forest on the water curtain began to tremble slightly, and the two warriors directly placed the torches in the groove at the door of the house, turned around and ran straight up a thick tree.

Facing the beast tide, it is quite a wise choice to climb to the trees where most of the ferocious predators cannot climb.

The lack of sound made the warriors and priests watching in front of the water curtain quite restrained.

But soon they knew what was going on.

The first ones to run out of the forest were a large number of mice and hares, and it didn't take long to faintly see medium-sized herbivores running fast.

"It's a wave of beasts." King Crete stood up from the throne, pushed Minos, and signaled him to stand up.

When Minos saw the densely packed animals and the creepy green light from the eyes of those animals in the dark night, he felt much more terrifying and nervous than when he faced the snakes brought by the meerkat.

The child's palms were sweating.

It would be great if Surpus was here at such a time. Surpus would definitely hold his hand and encourage him.

Minos took a deep breath.

Believe in yourself, Minos, you are good, really good.

You can do it, Minos.

"Notify the undisabled warriors in the city-state, women and children are moved underground, elite warriors go up the city wall, and slaves stand by!"

Live up to your encouragement and teaching, I will do this perfectly for you, Thurps.

Minos pursed his lips and clenched his fists as he looked at the water curtain that was showing signs of collapsing, and the warriors who moved quickly following his orders.

I will be the backing and leaning you can rely on.

I will prove that you are not... nothing.

A group of five people who were rushing towards the west entrance stopped.

There are no mongooses to warn them, and they can only rely on their eyes and ears to observe everything in the darkness beyond the lighting range of the torches.

Thurps is even more sensitive to movement in the dark than Payris. When he was alone for two years, he didn't have the ability to watch the campfire while sleeping alone.

But since waking up suddenly and opening his eyes to see a bear sleeping next to him, Thurpus has not slept deeply since then when he was alone.

Hearing that people who have been sleeping poorly for many years age quickly, Thurps touched his face and felt that this is really a very sad story.

The insects that were hibernating and singing in the bushes suddenly ran out in a swarm and rushed along their path, followed by the howling and roaring of various animals from far and near-with panic and helplessness. measures.

Years of hunting experience allowed Thurps to understand a lot of the meaning contained in the calls of most herbivores, just like the group of rabbits who ran without screaming.

Rabbits only bark when they are close to death or when they are extremely frightened. They are usually very quiet because of their living habits and timidity.

Thurps isn't quite sure what happened, but it's certainly something serious.

He tilted his head to look at Payris.

Payris directly took the torch and threw it on the ground to extinguish it, and ordered: "Climb the tree."

Surps found a tree that was not too short and easy to climb almost as soon as his voice fell. In terms of life-saving, Surps' choices and actions always deeply reflect the three principles of fast, ruthless and accurate. The essence of the word.

After squatting on the most central branch and adjusting his posture, making sure that there are no snakes hidden in the trees or other things that would threaten people, he looked at Payris, who had just climbed up, and asked, "Who is this?" what happens?"

"Beast tide." Payris sat still, looked down at the dimly lit ground under the moonlight, the roar of the beast was getting louder and louder, the situation didn't look very optimistic, he looked up and moved faster than him and crawled faster than him Thurps, who is still tall, "Has Hydra really left Crete?"

"Of course, otherwise Crete would have become a plague land in the past one and a half months." Thurps was a little surprised that Payris would ask this question.

"In the past, animal hordes all happened in winter when food was scarce." Payris pointed to the shadow of animals that could be vaguely glimpsed in the distance, "Now is the autumn when food is abundant, and it is time for animals to fatten up. It is impossible because The animal swarm occurred due to the natural relationship, and the mongoose you said was the child of Hydra, the movement just now was not small."

Thurps raised his eyebrows, "So?"

"So there is a strong existence wandering and hunting in the forest in all likelihood, and it seems that the appetite is not small, otherwise it would not cause such a big panic." Pai Lisi paused and said: "I think Xu Dela It fits pretty well.”

Thurpus snorted twice, and he also felt that Xu Dela was quite suitable, but if Payris had seen Xu Dela's stupid look when eating, he probably wouldn't think so.

But he didn't dare to guarantee it. After all, with Xu Dela's idiot character, it is possible that he accidentally lost the fleet and ran back to Crete inexplicably.

"The mongoose may also be angry because its territory has been invaded by other things." Surps shrugged. "I have never fought against the beast tide. What should we do?"

"It's very simple." Payris shrugged, "The people stationed at the west entrance must have notified the city, we just need to wait quietly for the beast tide to subside, and then it's up to you to decide whether we should go back to eat meat , or continue to walk into the unknown forest.”

"how long?"

Payris spread his hands, "Who knows? It may only be a few days, or it may take half a month."

"If there is really anything in the forest, Miledus..." Thurpus looked at Payris and pursed his lips.

"Don't try to go in now, I warn you, Thurps." Payris looked at Thurps with a serious expression, "My mission is to protect you at all costs, but that doesn't mean I agree with you—or You take us to die."

Thurps withdrew his gaze and didn't say anything else. He just reached out and stroked the smooth and white animal teeth in his hand, watching the herd of animals getting closer.

Crete.

The King of Crete, the High Priest, Minos and the elite warriors climbed onto the city wall and stood at the forefront of the beast tide that was about to face.

Some things are no longer tense once they start, like what Minos is doing now.

Minos didn't quite know how to dispatch to deal with the beast horde reasonably and effectively, but the King of Crete beside him knew it and had a lot of experience.

He carefully asked the King of Crete a lot of things, trying to ask all the possibilities he could imagine.

The king of Crete looked at Minos with more and more satisfaction. The high priest beside him and the warrior who was temporarily picked out to be the leader of the warriors also looked at Minos with rather surprised eyes.

Although he knew that this son of Zeus was wise early, it was really rare to be able to think about so many things at the age of seven years old.

The king usually put on such a look of indifference and even tirelessness, so it turned out that he taught them secretly.

The surrounding warriors, who didn't know the king very well, glanced at the King of Crete and Minos, who was communicating with the King of Crete, with a mocking look of "speaking honesty".

The two seemed to have sensed other people's gazes, raised their heads and glanced at the group of warriors, and spoke in unison.

"I didn't teach it."

"Not taught by the king."

After speaking, both of them paused for a moment, glanced at each other, and finally continued to bow their heads, one taught the other, ignoring the gazes around them, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed and happy.

After explaining most of the things, Minos approached the high priest and asked carefully, "Can you see where Surpus is?"

"He believes in the sun god, and he doesn't have my medium on him." The chief priest glanced at him, with a half-smile: "If I can find someone casually, then your little slave won't have to go into the forest by himself. "

Minos sneered.

For the temple priests who can communicate with the gods, even Minos, who is a demigod, is somewhat cautious in front of them.

"Also, Minos, you have to tell me—what is that little slave carrying?" The high priest lowered his voice, his expression serious, "He has unfinished death attached to him."

Minos immediately became nervous when he heard the words, "Will it affect anything?"

"Not while alive." The high priest looked at Minos
