To be king [Greek mythology]

Pusi directly grabbed a cheering warrior next to him, "Excuse me, where is Minos?"

The warriors also had a good impression of Thurps, so they replied with a smile: "He is injured and is resting in his own residence."

Thurps was startled, thanked him and hurriedly dragged Miredus to a trot all the way, stepping on the lowered suspension bridge and rushing directly into Crete.

How could Minos get hurt...

Thurps was so anxious that he never thought of such a possibility.

"Brother, don't worry, you'll be fine." Seeing Thurpus in such a hurry, Miredus felt a little uncomfortable, but he still comforted him.

"En." Thurpus just replied so briefly, leading Miledus all the way on a rampage, and no one stopped them.

Miledus was a little surprised. Both he and Thurps were still slaves. It was beyond his expectation to be so rampant in the palace without being stopped.

But the other slaves acted as if they had taken it for granted.

Miredus glanced at Thurps and lowered his eyes.

Sure enough, no matter where his elder brother went, he would be special.

The person who was waiting for them at the door of Minos' residence was unexpectedly the high priest who almost had the words "I didn't sleep enough" written on his face.

"Hey, the little hero is back?" The high priest looked at Surpus with a smile, sized him up, and finally settled on the animal tooth hanging around his neck.

The high priest raised his eyebrows and walked over, reaching out his hand to look at the animal tooth, but Thurps dodged it nimbly.

"Master High Priest, is Minos alright?" Thurpus raised his head and asked, not feeling that there was anything wrong with hiding away.

"It's good, but the blood loss is too much, just take a rest." The chief priest's gentle attitude was a bit beyond Thurps' expectations. He looked at the chief priest for a while with some doubts, and finally offended him, and walked around The high priest, entered the dwelling of Minos.

The high priest turned around, looked at Surpus, looked at Minos, and found that there was really no wound on the other side except for the bandaged place. After putting the mongoose into the nest he had built before, he found another piece of clothing and handed it to him. There was a child beside him who looked seventy percent like him.

This kind of virtuous energy makes even some girls feel ashamed.

The chief priest narrowed his eyes, turned around and closed the door, and walked towards the main hall where the King of Crete was.

He knew what benefit he should ask Minos.

The king was right, and Thurpus was a very useful boy.

And...it looks pretty good too.

The chief priest thought, looking at the main hall in front of him, the smile on his face was a bit brighter than the sunshine in the sky.

Chapter 35

Minos was dizzy and slept in a dark state for two days.

The last city-state assembly had just ended in just a few days, and after this sudden beast horde, even the nobles and commoners who usually don't have to do much are too busy.

None of them had time to launch a rally to sum up the beast tide.

Therefore, the rewards for Thurps, Payris and the young warrior have not yet been dealt with.

But the difference is that Minos is the real leader who resisted this beast horde. It has spread throughout Crete.

This kid who has been taught by him has become a hero in the eyes of the people.

Surpus stripped Minos naked, carefully wiped off the dirt on his body and face, and poked Minos' belly.

This status, this luck, is simply enviable.

Thurpus took care of Minos for two days and didn't realize that he had any intention of waking up, so he went straight out to Payris' house.

Payris's partner gave birth on the night he left the city-state, and Thurpus felt that he should visit Payris' home anyway-at least Payris taught him a lot during this trip to the forest.

Moreover, I heard from the chief priest that the daughter-in-law of the Pailis family was half a month away from giving birth, and it was precisely because the beast tide happened after Pailis left that she was frightened, and the child came out like this.

Although Payris himself took the initiative to join in escorting him to the South Forest, Thurps still feels a little guilty about this result.

The only ones left in Minos' residence were the drowsy mongoose and Miredus, who couldn't run around for the time being.

——Oh, there are also slaves who are in charge of taking care of Minos' daily life, but because Surpus came back, he found that he could only serve tea and water and deliver food.

When Minos woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Miledus with his face covered.

Minos froze.

Then he reacted quickly and frowned, "You are Thurps' younger brother."

He said so, with an affirmative tone.

"..." Miledus, who was studying where to start to kill Minos quickly and accurately, squinted his eyes. Minos recognized that he was not Surpus in such a short period of time. I was also a little surprised—you must know that in the past two days, many people have always misidentified him and Thurps, "Well, my name is Miredus."

Minos sat up, shook his dizzy head, glanced at the slave mark on Miledus' ankle, paused for a moment, didn't say anything, but called out to the slave waiting outside the door Bring some food.

Minos looked around and found that the mongooses were huddled in groups and heaved a sigh of relief, "Where's Surpus?"

Miledus looked at Minos, "Brother has gone to find Payris."

Minos didn't care about Miledus' scrutiny. He stood up and went to wash, as if he didn't care about Miledus' existence.

Actually Minos was just very hungry.

He had already seen Miledus in the water curtain of the high priest. At this moment, he was more concerned about Thurps' current situation than confronting Miledus.

Although Thurpus was not hurt seeing in the water curtain, Minos was still worried.

He wanted to see with his own eyes that Thurps was really all right.

Miledus had already had his breakfast, and his eyes remained on Minos. Of course, he was always thinking about how to kill Minos—or at least keep Minos from getting close to Surpus. .

God knows how upset Thurpus has been taking care of Minos for the past two days, which made Miledus feel unhappy.

In the past, no one except him had such treatment.

After he was stabbed that knife, Thurps was always by his side and took care of him for two full months, not even going to his father.

Miledus has always felt that he is the only one who is taken care of by his brother so wholeheartedly.

This sudden appearance of Minos really made him unhappy.

"Did Sarpedon come to see you?" Minos asked suddenly, thinking of the chief culprit who caused Thurpus to leave the city in such a hurry.

If nothing else, the person in Sarpedon's impression was Miredus.

If Miledus is on good terms with Sarpedon, you are a difficult problem indeed.

"Sarpedon?" Miredus paused for a moment, then shook his head. "He never came to see me."

"Oh, I thought he valued you very much." Minos swallowed the last bite of bread, drank the rest of the milk in the cup, stabbed Miredus, "He recognized Surpus as You, running after us every day, I thought he would come to you right away, after all, you are his savior."

"Obviously, he doesn't value me as much as you imagined." Miledus opened his mouth without showing any weakness - he was also brought out by Thurps since he was a child, although because of his age and physical strength It is always worrying, but that mouth is deeply inspired by Thurps, "It proves that you Crete are not very good at cultivating the future heirs of the city-state. Knowing that the savior came to your city-state as a guest, it is not even a meeting I can't spare the time, this upbringing makes me want to cry for you."

It's a good map gun.

Minos squinted his eyes. He has always been inferior to others in his words, but he was also quite unhappy about compromising with Miredus.

"I think it's just that you are not attractive enough. Sarpedon is not the person you said." Minos shrugged.

"It's true that my charm is not as good as that of my brother, but what's the use of having a great charm? Didn't someone promise my brother to remove the slave mark for him? What happened?" Miredus mocked mercilessly, "Brother He still lives with that shameful stamp on him."

"I didn't treat him as a slave." Minos frowned.

"Shame is shame, status and rank cannot be changed - and you have not fulfilled your promise, this is the fact." Miredus looked at Minos coolly, "Everything is due to my brother's hard work. Come on, your light words are of no use to him."

The ones that can really benefit are the real ones.

What is really in your hands is what you can control and belong to yourself.

A promise that I don't know if I can keep it is in front of me, like a delicious pie, but it is tasteless after one bite.

"I can do it." Minos looked at Miledus, "I stopped the beast tide, and I was determined to be Crete's true heir, not one of them."

"My brother returned as a hero, and he will be able to escape from slavery with his own merits at the next meeting." Miledus said with sarcasm, and he felt it when Thurps told him about Minos. Quite uncomfortable, any place, any word, any action of Minos seems to have stepped into his minefield by chance, just listening to Thurps say Minos' name makes my body feel full of pain.
