To be king [Greek mythology]

The smile suddenly subsided, "You let him go to the Sea God Temple?!"

"Hmm." The chief priest responded, sat opposite Thurps, and clicked his tongue twice, "Seeing you like this, I will be very sad if you care about Minos so much."

"Then you should be sad." Thurps said coolly, "Also, when are you going to clarify the matter of chasing me?"

"What's the clarification? Isn't that good?" the chief priest said with a smile, holding his chin and looking happy, "You can see how amazing Minos's growth rate has been since then."

"...But I don't want to see your face at all." Thurpus withdrew his gaze from the head priest's face, "I'm always harassed by you, I'm afraid that one day I can't help but send you back to Hades."

"Tsk." The chief priest licked his lips, "It's up to you?"

"It's up to me." Surpus looked at him coldly and stood up. "I'm going to the Sea God Temple. If there is anything to do with Minos—trust me, you won't be happy."

"If you give me Typhon's tooth, I'll leave right away." The high priest lay lazily on the table, squinting at Thurpus, looking at the Typhon's tooth on his neck, which was as white and smooth as it was eight years ago. The teeth turned around.

"With my soul?" Thurps looked at him, "I don't want to go with you yet."

"The longer you procrastinate in the world, the heavier the punishment you will receive after death, are you sure?" The chief priest squinted his eyes halfway, "It's better to come with me sooner, and go back to Netherland and stay by my side, isn't it good?"

"Thank you for your kindness. I am very happy but I cannot accept your kindness." Thurps replied absently. He had said this sentence countless times after he learned that the chief priest had changed the core eight years ago.

Just talk about why when I met the chief priest occasionally, the attitude of the other party was quite normal, but after going out for a trip, the chief priest suddenly became abnormal.

This is simply unscientific!

But if the core was changed, Thurpston immediately felt that it was acceptable.

The chief priest watched Surpus leave his room, unexpectedly, he didn't grab him and tease him. Surprised by Surpus, he was relieved at the same time, and ran towards the west gate leading to the pier at a faster pace. go.

Almost like fleeing.

The chief priest chuckled twice, looked at his palm, and suddenly there was a mass of gray on his fingertips, exuding a faint breath of death.

The gray was fleeting.

The chief priest frowned, looking at his palm with some distaste.

Netherland, the Temple of the God of Death.

Darnadus, the God of Death who held the sword in his hand, opened his eyes, looked down at his palm, his fingertips glowed with gray-black light, and the powerful force of death made him look satisfied.

"What happened? Dear Death."

Thanadus looked away, squinted his eyes and smiled, "I just feel that your body that believes in Poseidon is not working well."

Where the god of death could see, the person kneeling on the ground was the high priest who was supposed to stay in the temple of Crete.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience." The high priest said, looking up, "but it looks like you had a good time."

Danato rested his chin and nodded happily.

Crete.

Sea God Temple is actually a collective name for a large sea area.

It is rumored that it was Poseidon's former playground, and later Poseidon left it for the trial of becoming a temple priest.

In fact, Crete does use this sea area as the selection of priests—of course, it will also be used as a trial process for the ruler of Crete.

If you want to become a king, you must first be excellent, and secondly, you must have enough respect for the gods.

The lessons of the destruction of countless city-states—and even the destruction of the entire human race twice made the successive rulers of Crete clearly realize how important it is to please the gods.

Even if it is not to please, it must be done not to offend.

Of course, to put it bluntly, this trial is optional.

Most are used by those successors, or kings who have already ascended to that position, under the premise of being sure, to strengthen the hearts of the people.

The one who didn't know that he had become the chief priest of the god of the underworld probably took the Minos pit to directly complete the trial that he was only eligible to experience when he was an adult at the age of 20.

The Temple of the Sea God was calm and without waves—even when the whole of Crete was covered by storms and even tsunamis, the sea area in this article was calmly rippling with waves, occasionally a layer of shallow waves appeared, and then quickly calmed down .

Surpus managed to get near the Temple of the Sea God, where the only ship that could float in this sea area inherited from ancient times had disappeared.

There are also a few temple priests who are looking forward to squatting on the beach, and a few warriors.

"..." Blind faith is really bad.

Thurps hardly wanted to tell them the truth.

Others don't know, but the chief priest told him.

The sea area of ​​the Sea God Temple is actually closely related to the real Sea God Temple where Poseidon is located. Although Poseidon doesn't pay much attention to this place, this sea area can indeed select people with firm beliefs to serve as The office of the city-state priest.

Oh, and there's one more requirement to be a priest.

Regardless of gender, you have to look good.

The situation in this sea area known as the Sea God Temple has always been controlled by Poseidon.

That is to say, Poseidon can know whoever enters that sea area—Surpus knows it without even thinking about it, Poseidon knows that a son of Zeus has stepped into his territory, and Staying in a city-state that believes in him and even going through a trial to prove whether his belief in him is firm, how delicate the mood will be.

According to the normal development, the results of Minos will be divided into two types.

The first is directly killed by Poseidon.

The second is to be stabbed by Poseidon to Zeus and killed by Zeus.

Anyway, it is possible to go to Netherland to report.

Thurps deeply felt the determination of the god of Hades who ran to the chief priest to drag him into the underworld.

In fact, it was just for Typhon's tooth.

But Thurps really didn't want to just leave this world, he still had too many things to do.

Surpus jumped off the rock and ran to the edge of the beach to look at the calm waters.

"Surpus?" A warrior turned around when he heard the movement, and looked at him in surprise, "I heard that the chief priest was looking for you before."

"I've been to the temple once." Surpus replied, staring quietly at the horizon, "How long has Minos been there?"

"I went there at dawn." The priest replied, "Wait until noon, no matter if you fail or succeed, you can come back."

After the priest finished speaking, he sighed the merciful and great Poseidon.

"Noon..." Thurps looked up at the sun, feeling a little overwhelmed.

By noon, the day lilies were cold, and Minos' body sank to the bottom.

But apart from that one ship, there was nothing he could do about sinking anything in this sea area.

"Why did Minos want to go?" Surpus asked, "The high priest told me to ask Minos to get some magical materials."

"Yes, there are things we need to cast magic in the depths of the Sea God Temple. We used to collect them." The priest nodded, "But this time the chief priest said that Minos should be tested by the way. him."

"..." The reason is really logical, as if Minos would definitely be able to complete the trial, Surpus felt that he couldn't wait, "Is there any other way to pass?"

"Do you want to go?" The priest was stunned for a moment, then glanced back at Thurpus, feeling that his expression was a bit strange, "What's wrong?"

"I'm a little tired, but I'm just in a hurry to find Minos." Thurps said, "Is there no other way?"

"Yes." The priest nodded, "People who are favored by Poseidon can walk directly on the waves."

"...the one favored by Poseidon...?"

"Like us." The priests pointed to themselves.

"..." Thurps rubbed his chin, "Do you think Poseidon will like me?"

The priests saw that there was no power of the gods all over their bodies - that is, the power bestowed by the gods from their firm belief - they looked at Thurpus who had no power of the gods, and shook their heads very honestly .

"I think I look pretty good." Thurps said so, touched his face, and walked directly to the beach, "Anyway, let's try first."

"Surpus, it's impossible!" The priests hurriedly stopped him, "Except for the chief priest, no one can reach the depths of the Sea God's Temple by themselves."

In fact, your high priest may not be able to reach the depths of the Sea God Temple now, Thurps thought, then he turned his feet, waved at the group of people, and trotted all the way to the pier.

Minos has been there for a while, I don't know if something happened.

Surps asked the fishermen who were resting today to borrow a boat. After leaving the sight of the fishermen, he pulled up the sails and turned around with the wind, heading directly towards the Sea God Temple.

He lowered the sail outside the sea area of ​​the Sea God Temple.

This sea area is not very big, but it is not small either, at least it cannot be seen at a glance.

Thurps drew a certain distance along the edge of the fairly obvious boundary, but he never caught sight of any people or ships on the horizon.

Thurps stared at the edge of the line, and poked in with his paddle.

——It's like the oars are swiped to an empty place, without any resistance, and there is no real feeling of water.

"..." It's no wonder it's not sinking.

Thurps glanced at the crab crawling at his feet, grabbed it and put it on the oar, poked it into the calm sea, and flicked the oar.

Then he watched helplessly as the crab slowly and normally fell to the bottom of the water.

These marine organisms are strictly speaking
