Chapter 267 Thenaron City
"This should be right here, right?" Zheng Shu muttered to himself as he looked at the city gate in front of him.
He is now in the city of Thenaron at the southern tip of the Peloponnese Peninsula. It is said that there is an entrance to hell here. According to myths and legends, Hercules entered the underworld through here.
The reason why we arrived here was because of the information Zheng Shu heard during his previous journey.
The news in Al's village was indeed a bit behind. After arriving in the city-state, Zheng Shu learned that Hercules had completed the eleventh trial given by Eurystheus.
Because of Hercules' bravery beyond human common sense, the trial proposed by Eurystheus not only failed to get rid of his hated rival, but instead helped Heracles win greater honors.
Many people were grateful to Heracles and praised his name because he saved people from many sufferings.
Therefore, the cunning king came up with the last adventurous task. This is a trial that no brave hero can theoretically complete, and now Hercules has accepted the twelfth trial given by the other party. Refining: Capture Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell.
After all, no matter how powerful the hero is, the prerequisite for going to hell is death. Letting Hercules die was the king's purpose, so once Heracles took over this task, King Eurystheus' purpose had been achieved regardless of whether he could complete it.
It is a pity that Eurystheus's calculation might have succeeded if it had been in a later era. After all, in that era, the boundary between the living and the dead was completely cut off, and there was no other way to enter hell except death.
But in the Age of Gods, just like in many myths and legends, the so-called hell itself was deep underground. In theory, if someone had enough patience to keep digging downwards, even a living person could reach hell.
Coincidentally, there is a natural gap next to Thenaron City that leads directly to hell.
In fact, Zheng Shu had no intention of going directly to Heracross. He originally wanted to wait directly in the Kingdom of Tirens, waiting for the hero who had completed the twelve trials to return, and then obtain his new enhanced template.
But just after Zheng Shu learned the news that Heracles was going to hell, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling.
Zheng Shu didn't know where this feeling came from. If he were an ordinary person, he might regard it as his own illusion. However, at Zheng Shu's level of strength, there is basically no so-called "illusion". According to the comparison of immortals, that is "On a whim." So he knew that this was his intuition reminding him that he would encounter something that would have a great impact on him in hell.
That's why Zheng Shu gave up his original plan and hurried to Tenalong City.
To be honest, Zheng Shu did not have detailed information about the whereabouts of Hercules. Even if Hercules was the most famous hero in ancient Greece at this stage, it would be quite difficult to obtain his detailed path with current science and technology. difficulty.
However, after arriving at Tenalon City, Zheng Shu was able to obtain more detailed information. After all, the gap connected to hell is the most important thing in the city, and a special temple is even built next to it to guard it.
If Hercules wanted to go to hell through this gap, there would be corresponding information circulating in this city.
So after Zheng Shu entered the city, he was going to find a tavern and make inquiries.
…
…
Because Tenalong City has the unique "landscape" of the passage to hell, it has done quite well in the development of business. The most prosperous area in the center of the city even gave Zheng Shu the feeling of living in a small city in his previous life. illusion.
Walking on the street, ignoring the surprise of the people around him about his figure, Zheng Shu found a pub that looked more authentic.
This pub is obviously old. Even the protruding signboard is a bit patinated, and there is a very abstract-looking pattern of a wine glass on it.
The reason why Zheng Shu chose this tavern was because this seemingly small tavern was very lively inside, and you could hear lively laughter from inside even during the day.
In a place like this, it would be much easier for Zheng Shu to obtain information.
Arriving at the door of the tavern, Zheng Shu took off his hood and pushed the door open and walked in. The door, which had been in disrepair for a long time, made a harsh squeaking sound when the door was pushed open, and this sound replaced the completely corroded door. The bell is used by those inside as a signal to welcome guests.
The bartender who looked extremely strong behind the bar couldn't help but stop what he was doing when he saw Zheng Shu coming in. His whole muscles were in a tense state, and the originally bustling tavern was also disturbed by Zheng Shu, the sudden outsider. The interruption fell into a brief silence.
After Zheng Shu's huge body barely squeezed into the door, looking at his height that was almost as tall as the roof and his arm muscles that were thicker than the waist of an ordinary person, there were several difficult swallows in the quiet tavern. sound.
Because of his huge size, Zheng Shu even blocked the light coming from the door after entering the tavern, giving the originally small tavern an illusion of darkness for a moment.
The pretty waiter, who was constantly carrying drinks back and forth to various tables, and occasionally deftly dodged some sly tricks, showed off his amazing professionalism after being stunned for a moment.
After delivering the last drink and putting down the tray in his hand at the bar, the waiter came to Zheng Shu with a professional smile: "Is the guest alone? What do you want to have? The wine we have here is quite unique. .”
The voice sounds a little hoarse and lazy, but it also has a special feeling. If I use the words of the past life online, it is probably the so-called "Yu Jie Yin"?
The figure looks quite tall, and the bulging chest supports the costume similar to that of a waiter. The gap specially left in the middle of the costume is just enough for people to see the depth in the middle without revealing too much.
The lower body is dressed even hotter, with a pair of slender thighs completely exposed, and the skirt is so short that if the walking movements are a little more violent, it needs to be marked with holy light.
However, compared to the other person's attractive appearance, Zheng Shu was observing something else.
Looking at the waiter standing in front of him who could still smile easily, Zheng Shu's eyes revealed a fleeting curiosity: "Please arrange a table for me... Can you stay here?"
"Of course it's no problem! Guests, don't think our store is small. Our accommodation conditions are pretty good in this city. Not only is the cost low, but we can also help you pack a dinner..." I heard what Zheng Shu said. , the waitress’s bright eyes narrowed with a smile, and her attitude became more enthusiastic.
While introducing, the waiter also led Zheng Shu to a table. He reached out and swept away the dishes and wine glasses scattered on the table, leaving most of the table empty at once.
The few guests who were sitting at this table for dinner looked at Zheng Shu's terrifying figure. He didn't dare to say anything, and even took the initiative to help the waiter pull his plate aside to make as much space for Zheng Shu as possible.
"Don't bother me. I'm just a person. Just leave a space for me. Of course, it would be better if you could help me wipe the table with a rag. In addition, give these guys a glass of your signature wine. This is my thanks." Zheng Shu stopped a few people who wanted to continue cleaning up. After all, if they continue to clean up like this, these people will probably eat at other tables.
He is not a bad person and will not get any pleasure from bullying others.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter was stunned by Zheng Shu's request, but still smiled and bowed slightly to him, then twisted his slim figure and walked to the kitchen.
After all, in ancient Greece, a person of Zheng Shu's size could be identified as the highest-ranking hero at a glance.
Ancient Greece did not have the kind of moral thought of ancient China. For them, the oppression of the strong was natural, and even a little kindness from the strong to the weak was enough to be called a noble personality.
So not only the waiters, but also the guests at the same table who were forced to push aside after Zheng Shu arrived also raised their glasses and smiled at Zheng Shu to show their gratitude.
Zheng Shu's behavior also restored the bustle of the originally quiet tavern. After all, even a group of drunkards who drink during the day must learn to watch people order their food in today's world.
After a while, the waiter slowly walked to Zheng Shu's seat with a tray. She first helped Zheng Shu carefully wipe his seat and the table in front of him with the specially prepared fur. A few glasses of cold-looking wine were placed in front of several guests.
Of course, even if he didn't order food for himself, a glass of wine was placed in front of Zheng Shu.
"This is a request from our boss. It is our tavern's honor for a hero like you to come to our place. This glass is our specialty wine, and its unique cool taste cannot be tasted elsewhere." Service. Sheng bowed deeply to Zheng Shu again.
Moreover, he deliberately turned his unbuttoned collar towards Zheng Shu, showing off his proud talent.
Unfortunately, the waiter's little thoughts didn't work at all. Zheng Shu's attention was not on her at this time. Looking at the wine in front of him, the corners of Zheng Shu's eyes twitched unconsciously.
If he didn't perceive it wrong, there should be the smell of hell in this wine.
Of course, the breath is very light. Even if an ordinary person drinks this wine, he will become a little weak at most. If he uses the power of wine, he will probably look like he is drunk faster.
Basically, a good night's sleep won't be a big hindrance, but if you drink too much of this kind of wine, when you get too old, it's likely that the accumulated hellish aura will break out prematurely and lead to death - also It's the so-called longevity reduction.
As for the cold taste... the moment of exposure to the breath of hell is equivalent to a person dying, so of course he will feel cold.
The production method is also very simple. Zheng Shu speculates that stones obtained from the entrance to hell were added to the barrels during the brewing process. In a sense, this kind of wine is similar to the ancient Romans who used lead to make wine pots. operate.
It can only be said that fortunately the villagers of the Age of Gods are strong enough. As long as we are in modern society, any sub-healthy person may be admitted to the ICU after drinking this wine.
"You don't need to be so polite. I follow the teachings of the gods and don't like to owe others favors." Zheng Shu once again raised the unknown god as his protective umbrella.
He casually took out a silver coin from the pocket next to him and said, "Please bring me some more meat, so there is no need to bring more wine. I have things to do later, so there is no need to look for the remaining coins. But I want to ask, is there any news worth paying attention to in this city recently?"
Amid the envious looks of other guests, the waiter took up the silver coins and stuffed them into the gap in his chest with a look of surprise. He winked at Zheng Shu several times in a row: "Okay, the food will be ready for you soon." , wait a moment, I’ll be back right away!”
He glanced lewdly at the waiter's leaving figure. The drunkards at the same table as Zheng Shu gradually became more courageous when they saw Zheng Shu's operations: "Brother, you are very generous! But you will suffer a loss like this. Yes, the waiters here are not as good as you see, the only thing they want to do is to empty your wallet!"
"That's right, that's right. And if you want to hear new news, brother, you might as well come to us. These waiters stay here in the pub every day. How can we people be well-informed?"
"Oh? Thank you for your tips. Do you have any special news?" Zheng Shu responded to the bragging of these people and calmly handed over the wine glass in his hand.
Although the breath of hell will not harm him, he is not really big enough to drink this thing into his body, just to use it to bribe these drunkards.
"Oh! Thanks! You are so kind, little brother!"
Seeing Zheng Shu pushing the wine glass over, the group of drunkards became unceremonious and scrambled to get the glass of wine to their side.
Finally, a drunkard who seemed to be the strongest among them relied on his physical advantage to grab the wine glass, and then drank it into his mouth on the spot as if he was afraid of being grabbed by others.
After putting down the cup and taking a long breath, the drunkard smiled drunkenly at Zheng Shu: "Actually, the one who has attracted attention recently is naturally the Hercules who has completed eleven trials, but I heard that he He disappeared after taking on the new trial mission, and I don’t know if he escaped.”
"Of course, little brother, you definitely didn't come here to hear this kind of public news. The most noteworthy news in the city recently is probably the arrival of a hero named Hemo." The drunkard took a few bites of the food in front of him. Side dishes, and then took a sip of his own glass of wine.
"I heard that he was very powerful and even defeated one of the city's guardian heroes, but he left here yesterday.
As for the other one... I heard that a strange guy came from a nearby city-state. He claimed to be from the far east. His name... seemed to be Che Yeyun? "
The drunkard was still chattering, but Zheng Shu was no longer in the mood to listen to his information.
Since there is no information about Hercules here, it means that Hercules has not arrived here yet. Then Hercules should still be washing away his sins in the city of Eleusis in Attica, and Learn from the local priests the secret techniques that can resist the forces of hell.
It seems that Zheng Shu arrived in time, but it is normal. After all, even in the Age of Gods, places like hell are not accessible to ordinary people.
Even if you enter hell as a living person through some tricky methods, ordinary creatures will be eroded by the laws and atmosphere of hell within a short time, and eventually become the real dead.
Only creatures with high enough divinity can resist it, but even true gods, if they are not gods of the underworld, will be corroded to a certain extent if they stay in hell for a long time.
So even a powerful hero like Hercules must find a way to resist the erosion of hell.
Fortunately, the erosion of the breath of hell is essentially the same as law-based attacks, and can be transformed by Zheng Shu's divine weapons, so Zheng Shu can directly save the time of searching for secret techniques and get here in advance.
(PS: Okay, Xingyue World has finally begun to enter the main line. Congratulations. Congratulations.)
(PS2: Readers are asked to come and collect the two costars themselves. These two costars have corresponding foreshadowings. You can take a guess.)
