To be king [Greek mythology]

Furious, he poked the bonfire with a branch, "What do you think?"

"What should I do?" Payris took a bite of the fruit, "Fight it. If you die, you don't have enough strength. If you die together, it will be considered a profit. Of course, it would be great if you can survive. You can't run away."

"Actually, there is still hope for you to escape." Thurps's suggestion was very sincere. "I can't escape, but you can. It would be good to go back and report to Crete."

"If I know how to run, I'll leave before entering the forest." Payris sneered twice, "What are you worried about? Or are you afraid of dying?"

"I'm afraid of death, but I can't escape, so I might as well give it a go." Thurps clearly understands his situation, not only now, but also some bad things that may happen in the future, "Actually, I think, Take Miledus away, and if I die, treat him well—but you will not go."

Miledus gnawed the fruit silently, turned his head to glance at Thurps, and pursed his lips, "Brother, don't even think about abandoning me."

"Good." Thurps patted his head.

Payris glanced at Surpus and then at Miledus, feeling that Minos's future was worrying.

Minos paid much attention to Thurpus, and Payris knew it, but judging by how much Thurpus valued his younger brother, if they could go back smoothly, Minos would be unhappy for a long time.

Thinking about it makes me feel a little sympathetic.

"You know what that thing is?" Payris asked.

"Well, it's probably a combination of blood, scales, and venom left by Hydra before. It was a complete accident—Hydra never thought that such a thing would be born." Thurps said, "And , that silver wolf is also Hydra's child."

Payris glanced at the silver wolf who was walking towards them, and fell silent again.

In the end, Paieris sighed, showing a look of emotion: "It's really not because you didn't think of it before."

Thurps thinks it's cool to clean up other people's three views.

However, he seems to have discovered a new attribute of Xu Dela. According to the appearance of the mongoose and silver wolf, Xu Dela may still be a mild fluff control.

Although it does not hesitate to eat furry animals.

But the food is different from the son.

Tsk tsk, such an association is simply terrifying.

"Don't die." Paieris turned the rabbit over and continued to roast, "You are dead, if I go back alive, the innocent Minos will also strangle me to death."

"I'll try my best," Thurps replied casually.

Miledus paused, "Brother, who is Minos?"

"Well... the future king of Crete." Thurps thought for a while, and still replied, "The son of Zeus, he is a very good kid, about your age, I picked it up—but then again, Did you also pick up a kid three years ago?"

"..." Miredus was stunned for a while, then nodded in silence, "Well, his name is Sarpedon."

"He still remembers you." Thurps smiled, "Minos is a pretty good person, and you will know when you meet him when you get back to Crete."

Miledus snorted lightly.

Crete.

The ditch in front of the city gate leading to the entrance of the West Forest in the south has been doused with oil, covered with dead branches and leaves, and some flammable and discarded household items.

However, the first thing they waited for was not the tide, but four warriors.

After a night of trekking, the four warriors spent most of their time walking in the trees, and the word exhaustion was written all over their bodies.

Minos recognized that two of them had entered the forest with Thurpus, and hurried down the city wall and opened the city gate to welcome the four warriors in, but he did not see Thurpus and Payris.

The child's heart sank involuntarily, and all kinds of bad guesses kept popping up like mushrooms after rain.

Minos raised his voice involuntarily, and looked at the two warriors, "Where's Thurps?"

Even the warriors looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Minos didn't enter the refuge when facing the beast horde.

At last they faltered: "Thurps said we could come back—they went into the forest themselves."

"I sent you out to protect Thurpus!" Minos' words revealed strong anger, "Surpus hasn't come back, how can you come back!"

"He said we could..."

"Are you following his orders or mine!?"

The Warriors were speechless.

Minos wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the king of Crete who rushed over.

Minos took a deep breath, finally suppressing the anger in his heart.

He naturally knew the reason why the King of Crete stopped him. This kind of time is not a good time to reprimand the warriors. Every warrior's fighting power is quite precious.

The bigger picture matters.

The four words pressed on Minos, making him a little breathless.

Minos glanced at the two warriors, "You have a morning break, and after lunch, go up the city wall to deal with the beast tide."

"In the beast horde before, I saw a few civets that only appeared in the northern forest." A warrior stationed at the entrance of the western forest finally found a chance to interject, and said with some concern.

"It's okay." King Crete glanced at the warrior with approval in his eyes, "Minos has a solution."

Minos snorted coldly, turned around and stepped on the steps of the city wall, pausing slightly, but still couldn't help but turned his head and stared at the two warriors.

"Pray to Poseidon that Thurps will be safe!"

He almost gritted his teeth and jumped out word by word.

The King of Crete sighed as he watched the small figure of Minos climbing up the city wall alone.

Still a child after all.

Chapter 33

When Minos climbed up the city wall, his lingering anger was still there, and his small face stretched. He stood on the city wall and looked at the path where there were no traces of the beast tide.

Thanks to the hardworking Sun God, today is still sunny and windless, and it is foreseeable that it will be another day of sweating like rain.

Four people were sent out, including Payris, and two came back, that is to say, only Payris and another warrior were with Thurps.

The forest has always been unsafe, and it is even more unsafe when the beast horde is everywhere.

Minos thought that Thurpus would find a way to come back during the lull of the beast tide—just like the four warriors who just came back.

But Surpus didn't do what he thought. Minos knew without even asking, that Surpus must not let go of his younger brother in the forest.

In fact, Minos can somewhat understand how much Thurpus attaches importance to his younger brother, especially after experiencing such painful injuries as the subjugation of the country and being branded as a slave, the reunion by coincidence in this huge world, for Thurpus What an exciting thing for Puth.

If it was Minos, if he could reunite with Radamandes and Sarpedon after experiencing subjugation...

Minos was silent for a while.

Tsk...forget it.

Very unhappy just thinking about it.

Minos just didn't expect that Surpus would pay so much attention to this younger brother who didn't know his life or death that he almost didn't care about his own life. This made Minos clearly realize that his position in Surpus' heart is definitely not as good as that of his younger brother. of.

This realization makes people a little bit unhappy, but Minos can also understand it.

After all, not every brother is like Radamandis and Sarpedon, who always want to put others to death.

Thinking of his two brothers, Minos felt a little regretful—why didn't Crete, like Syreis, punish the sinners while announcing the punishment?

In this case, Radamandis and Sarpedon might have died in the beast tide.

Now that the beast tide is over, they will definitely need to cultivate for a period of time.

Disabled or even dead warriors need new substitutes, and everyone in the city-state will become an extremely valuable resource, not to mention Radamandes and Sarpedon, both sons of Zeus.

Their punishment will definitely not be carried out in the same way as in normal times.

There may even be a new trial, and at that time, it will be his fault if Minos wants to say how severe the punishment is.

Minos felt that it was quite necessary to mention to the king that Radamandes and Sarpedon had sent three warriors from the city-state to the forest to intercept him.

The previous idea of ​​secretly retaliating didn't work, so he could only do it openly.

As long as Minos thinks about the culprit who caused the fangs of Sepstyphon to be unable to leave the body and may be punished after death, he would like to let them experience the feeling of dying—preferably Then just die.

Especially Radamandis, who is the main criminal, he will never let go.

Minos sneered when he thought of Radamandis standing under the city wall and looking at him at the beginning of the beast tide.

Blurred and hazy black shadows appeared on the path under the early morning sun, setting off a cloud of yellow dust.

Minos withdrew his thoughts and lowered his eyes.

"……ignition."

West Forest.

Payris looked at the two little ghosts who were talking about the old days in a low voice, and sighed, not caring about the mess around here.

If it was true as Thurps said, that monster was heading towards the West Forest, then it would be useless to clean it up.

The wolves were led by the silver wolf king to go hunting when this wave of beasts came up again, and they came back after eating a big meal. Only the silver wolf king came back with a bison's hind leg in his mouth, and stayed with Surpus. The mongoose at the entrance of the cave ran over, tore off a small piece of meat that could fill its own stomach, and ran back to Surpus with its mouth, squatting down.
