To be king [Greek mythology]

The meaning of birth made his mind a little blank.

"I know you need strength, Thurps. Athens has integrated the city-states and tribes of the entire Attica region. Its power is very strong, and you alone are not enough. The reason why the city-state was named Athens is because Athena The Goddess protects the city - she does not back down even from Poseidon."

The four tribes of Attica used to believe in the sun god, but the sun god never cared much about the affairs between humans. If there were more or fewer human city-states that believed in him, it would not affect him at all.

"What you have to face is not just a city-state, Thurpus, but also Athena, Poseidon and even more gods who are interested in the rich and prosperous Attica. You need strength and backing " Minos stretched out his hand and patted Surpus on the head. There were no snakes in the sea, and it was rare for Minos to find the opportunity to ruffle Surpus's hair as much as he wanted. I can do that."

The high priest has chosen a new god to believe in, and soon it is doomed that the temple of Poseidon will be pushed to rebuild the temple of Thanadus.

And judging by the appearance of Thanadus, it is obvious that he is quite interested in Crete.

The relationship between Hades and Olympus has always been indifferent, and it would not hurt feelings at all if they really fought.

"Go, Thurpus." Minos said, "Don't worry, I will take care of you."

Chapter 40

Surpus looked at Minos silently, and felt for the first time that this young man, whom he had always regarded as a reliable companion, had grown into a very reliable person.

At some point, Minos has outgrown him.

Minos is also gradually no longer satisfied with being like a "brother" and "student" by his side, and began to work hard to play the role of an adult male.

Thurpus knew that Minos was so desperate to protect him—or to prove himself to him for what it was.

In fact, all of Crete knows.

It has been three years since the future heir of their king fell in love with the friend who grew up with him and who had saved him some life.

Minos is almost 16 years old. Although he is still far from becoming an adult, in the eyes of the Cretans at 16 years old, he already needs to be responsible for his words and deeds.

They have passed the age when they make a mistake and say that a child is ignorant and can be fooled.

What's more, Minos, as the son of Zeus, was already quite smart.

He made few mistakes—at least not in the big ones.

This is why there is almost no voice in Crete that thinks that Minos is not suitable to be a city-state ruler, and Thurps' contribution to Crete is quite intuitive and obvious.

Over the years in Crete, the death rate has decreased a lot, and the treatment of diseases is no longer limited to the means only available to the priests. Some simple first aid methods have successfully dragged many seriously injured warriors to the priests.

The reason why the warriors have such a good relationship with Surpus is not only because of Surpus' talent in hunting and exploring the forest, but also because almost all the warriors in the city-state have received Surpus' first aid. The benefits of the method.

No one would want death to befall them, but Thurps taught everyone this life-saving method without any hesitation, making their hopes of surviving much higher—the reduction in the number of deaths can be seen , no one can deny the benefits brought by Thurps.

Thurpus is selfless and excellent. Even though he was a slave and an outsider, he is undoubtedly suitable for Minos.

Minos even challenged the chief priest for Thurpus, and everyone was optimistic. After all, everyone saw Thurpus' kindness and closeness to Minos, and only Minos and the master The two priests pinched each other persistently.

Thurps is also very clear about these things, but he always laughs off when others tease him.

But now, he couldn't even smile.

"You don't need this, Minos." Thurpus sighed, "If you give up such an important opportunity for me, I will have a bad conscience."

"You don't need to be upset—"

"You have to go, Minos." Thurpus interrupted Minos, "Crete is not all, not your only choice, we have many other opportunities besides Crete, but The god of death said, but it is not an opportunity that can be encountered casually-it is much more important than Crete, Minos."

"But you need it." Minos still did not shake his mind, "You need the fighting power of a city-state, not to mention we have been operating in Crete for so long."

"..." Thurps knew that if he really gave up the arrangement here in Crete now, it would really be a considerable loss for him, but for Minos, what he could gain after seizing that opportunity The achievement far exceeds the glory that can be won by staying in Crete.

Thurps is also a selfish person occasionally, but he can't let Minos' future be ruined because of himself.

Such feelings and sacrifices are too heavy for Thurps to bear.

"I don't need it, Minos." Thurps sighed, "Your future is far more important than this power."

"Do not……"

"That's it, Minos, you go to Netherland." Thurps cut off Minos' words, looked at him seriously and seriously, and said, "Don't let me down, Minos."

Minos really hated that tone of voice.

Before he could grow up, Thurps often asked him to do some things that he didn't want, but Thurps thought were useful and right, in such a firm and irresistible tone.

It took three years to finally make some changes. When encountering this kind of thing, Thurps returned to his original appearance.

Even if Minos really knew that choosing to go to Hades is undoubtedly much better for him personally than staying in Crete, it is quite shocking to be rejected so bluntly by Thurps for his efforts and decisions. One sad thing.

Minos thought so, but just nodded after remaining expressionless for a while.

"It seems that you have reached a consensus?" Thanadus, who had been ignored for a long time and felt particularly uncomfortable, said, his tone was full of various dissatisfaction.

"Hmm." Thurps nodded, his eyes swept over Thanadus who was wearing the priest's skin, and finally landed on the approaching coast.

Thanadus glanced at Minos, then Thurps, and felt that the atmosphere between the two had obviously become a lot stiffer, not as natural and harmonious as before.

The god of death can't understand the changes in human hearts, but he knows that now is a good time to take advantage of it.

Thanadus patted Thurps on the shoulder with a mixed attitude, "When you come back from Olympus, you won't need Crete anymore. The opponent you face, even Mi North has become the king of Crete, so it may not be able to help you."

Surpus was taken aback, he looked up at Minos, and Minos was also looking up at him because of the words of the god of death.

That's bad, Thurps thought.

He reached out to hold Minos' hand, and Minos was a little stiff, as if he wanted to avoid it, but stopped.

There is nothing more uncomfortable and hopeless than years of hard work being denied in one sentence.

The gods are destined not to understand this feeling, because what they want can be obtained without much effort, while human beings almost need to spend most of their lives and even sacrifice their lives to achieve their goals and dreams .

Thurpes admits that Minos has grown a lot over the years, but he has had a relatively smooth time, with too many people on his side, making his goals almost within reach.

Thurpus always thought that Minos wanted to become the king of Crete out of his own desire, but what Minos said today was completely beyond his expectations.

Thurpus knew that his previous reaction undoubtedly made Minos feel disappointed, but the words of Thanadus directly stabbed Minos in the heart.

"..." Minos looked down at Surpus holding his hand, was silent for a while, and took a deep breath, "I'm fine."

After he finished speaking, he paused, "I will go to Hades."

"Did you not plan to go before?" Thurps narrowed his eyes.

"..." Minos glanced at Surpus, and finally no longer looked expressionless, but smiled slightly with his lips pursed, and said without blinking: "No, you know, I always You are the Lord."

Thurps looked at Minos, and the other party's reaction was obviously unusual-to put it simply, Minos was really donating him before.

But Surps didn't say anything in the end. He knew that although Minos looked so calm on the surface, he really couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

"I'm really fine." Minos patted the back of Thurpus's hand and rubbed it for a while, "Since Crete is not that important, then I'll go to Hades."

Sure enough, I didn't plan to go to Hades before.

Thurps looked at Minos who didn't even try to hide it, and raised his eyebrows, "If you don't want to..."

"Of course I am willing." Minos paused, "The God of Death has said that I have a good relationship with Netherland, so there is nothing wrong with going to see it."

Thurps opened his mouth again, but finally said nothing.

If Minos has been working hard in the direction Thurps expected, for many years
