I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

"Cuckoo... cluck..."

The snow-white owl turned its head and glanced at the direction where Lixiang and the others left quickly.

'But is Chiron's teaching to him gaining the upper hand, or does he himself have the heart to recognize the rules and yardsticks in his heart, and then evaluate his actions? '

'It seems that this question remains to be seen, Theiasius Theia, what is in your heart? '

"Human beings...although they are a race full of possibilities, they are always dominated by greed, especially the Son of Man in front of you. You have turned your back on the land, and this land will inevitably turn its back on you."

This thought disappeared in a flash, and the snow-white owl turned its head. Its sharp, hook-like beak pecked at the huge tree a few times. A shimmering seed.

Perhaps in the past, He had the hope of sprouting and growing, but now it is impossible.

The owl threw the seed to the sky, and the green light flew higher and higher until it disappeared into the faintly visible starry sky.

"Life of suffering, your life is full of pain and resentment until the end, you grow desperately, but in the end you can't continue the glory of this life..."

"Goo-"

Looking at the green light flying into the sky, the white owl fluttered its snow-white wings.

"I would like to lift you up to the sky, but not as a flourishing tree, but as a seed, a seed that can no longer take root on the earth-may you be bathed in light in this sky ,Forever."

Time passed quickly, night had fallen, and in the sky full of stars, beside the bright Milky Way, a light green star was shimmering.

Chapter 42: The Huntress of Arcadia

After walking far away for some time, Li Xiang, who was obviously tired and sleepy, was finally willing to stop, and landed in the deserted dense forest together with the girl.

"Haha...haha..."

Li Xiang gasped lightly, clenched the dark red bow that the teacher gave him in his hand, but his hand was trembling slightly.

"senior……"

Ma Xiu looked at Li Xiang, and didn't know what to say for a while, Li Xiang was like a frightened bird, she was afraid that she would accidentally say something wrong that would make Li Xiang even more excited now.

"Senior, come on, let's put down our bows and sit down."

Mash leaned against Lixiang and helped him to sit down by the fallen tree.

"Uh-huh."

Li Xiang nodded slightly, and then put down the dark red bow that was tightly held in his hand.

"Mash...I...I..."

Li Xiang looked at the girl who was still by his side, and while feeling the only peace of mind, his body trembled slightly. He raised his left hand that used to hold the longbow tightly. The white palm and the slender fingers were light. It trembled slightly, and it didn't look like a hand that often draws a bow.

"I... I killed the sacred tree... I almost couldn't control it, almost, almost killed..."

Lixiang's voice also trembled slightly, his bright eyes were full of pain and fear of bearing unimaginable consequences.

"........."

Mash's left eye, which was only exposed to the air, drooped slightly, and the worry in her eyes turned into a gentle color before. Looking at Lixiang's slightly trembling left hand, her hands gently held the boy's hand.

Lixiang's hand trembled for a while, as if he was taken aback, but he didn't struggle.

"...Yes, senior killed that tree spirit, and at the same time drew his bow at the villagers."

The girl hesitated for a moment, then whispered in Lixiang's ear.

"Yes... yes..."

Lixiang's body trembled uncontrollably, he wanted to try to struggle, but he gave up quickly, because the one holding his hand now was Matthew, the girl who had been by his side for the longest time.

He didn't deny what he had just done, nor did he try to defend himself, he just nodded silently.

"—But senior, are you really going to be depressed like this?"

Ma Xiu looked at Lixiang, and said with those beautiful pink pupils looking directly at the bright star pupils of the young man.

"I--"

Li Xiang opened his mouth, like a choke in his throat.

"Okay, it's getting late today, let's take a rest."

With a gentle pull, Mash buried Lixiang's head into her chest, hugged him tightly, and said, stroking the boy's soft hair with her fingertips.

"…………Um."

Feeling the sound of breathing from her chest, a blush appeared on the girl's face.

…………

The next day, Lixiang got up very early.

Not only was it because his mind was a mess, it was difficult to fall asleep even if he fell asleep, but also, if he didn't wake up earlier, he might suffocate to death in Matthew's arms.

Thinking of this, Lixiang always felt his face was burning hot.

Well, I didn't expect that Matthew Mingming was not very old, but he didn't expect to develop so well...

The distraught young man quickly shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and threw them out of the sky together with those emotions that were too impulsive yesterday.

But that "divine tree"...

Li Xiang slowly lowered his eyes, the natural creature died by his own hands after all... This is an inescapable sin, the natural creature died by his own hands, this can be regarded as living up to the teacher's expectations.

"........."

In the silence, Lixiang picked up the dark red bow lying on the ground, took down the arrow, and pulled the bowstring. He watched his hands holding the longbow trembling slightly.

The young man's lowered eyes became sharp again, he drew the longbow fully, and the left fingertips holding the bow tightly swept across the targets one by one, just like when he was on Pelion Mountain.

But only he can know the most subtle changes. When his eyes quickly swept over the target in his heart, his hands still trembled unavoidably.

This was the first time since he left the teacher that his hand was shaking when he drew his bow. Logically speaking, he would no longer make such a low-level mistake.

"........."

Li Xiang let go of the bowstring, and instead of firing the arrow, he retracted his quiver again. He lowered his head, looked at the murder weapon he was holding tightly, and remained silent.

Obviously nothing happened, but he obviously felt that his archery seemed to have regressed.

... Is this retribution?

The boy laughed at himself, if it was true, at least he could relax a little...

"........."

Suddenly, he felt a gaze, like the gaze of a hunter peeping at his prey.

He didn't rush to dodge, but directly stood on the spot and drew his longbow, aiming the cold light of the arrow at the hunter hiding in the dark.

"Discovered?"

Walking quietly and slowly, with steady steps like a seasoned hunter, a woman with long green hair and also holding a longbow walked out of the bush pointed by Tachika's arrow.

"Ah, sure enough, when I think of Arcadia, I should immediately think of you, excellent huntress, Atalanta."

Lixiang recalled the archer, the enemy he had never met in Orleans. Although he did not face him directly, the rain of arrows did pose a big threat to the original him.

And now, he could be considered to have seen this famous Greek huntress with his own eyes.

"……You know me?"

The blue-haired huntress narrowed her eyes and looked up and down at the boy who was only sixteen or seventeen years old. A boy who had just been born in Mount Pelion seemed to know something about her, which aroused her curiosity.

"..."

Li Xiang remained silent, but expressed with his eyes that this was a very obvious thing.

But turning around and thinking about it, it’s actually not a particularly difficult thing to understand. Leaving aside other places in Greece, in the land of Arcadia, you can always find out that the princess of Arcadia today is a famous Greek princess. The Huntress of this matter.

As for why this happened, it was of course the credit of her king father.

At first, she thought she was a girl and abandoned her in the wilderness. Later, she was rescued by the moon god, raised by a female bear, and became an excellent hunter, but her disgusting father wanted to make her become a wolf again. My own daughter, the Princess of Arcadia.

Moreover, he can use the reputation of Atalanta to recruit Greek heroes to be his son-in-law to consolidate his position, which is really disgusting.

"Huntress Atalanta, why are you here?"

Li Xiang let go of the bowstring, put down the arrow, and said.

The disgust in his eyes was fleeting, and the excellent huntress looked at Lixiang. The young man in front of him had a pair of bright star-sea pupils, shining brightly like jewels, and his eyes were not as disgusting as those men's eyes The evil gaze, these two points undoubtedly greatly enhanced her goodwill towards the boy in front of her.

"I heard that there is a village near here that has been swept by the plague. There are rumors that they were punished by the moon god Artemis. I will go and have a look. If it is a rumor, I will definitely let the rumor maker know how to insult the gods at will. What's the end?"

While talking, the huntress suddenly noticed a sleeping beautiful girl lying not far behind the boy. Her expression became very weird in an instant, and the way she looked at Lixiang changed again.

I thought you were an upright gentleman, but I didn't expect that you are not only perverted, but also have such curious hobbies!

"Um... is it..."

Li Xiang scratched her head, why did Atalanta look at her eyes like a magic trick?

"...No, we just left there last night."

He paused, then said.

"What? You just left there? Isn't there a plague?"

Atalanta narrowed her eyes, the hunter's intuition told her that things were not that simple.

"...I said don't look at me with that 'I won't give up if I don't know the truth' look, I just tell you."

Lixiang sighed and said.

Then, the boy roughly told Atalanta what happened to him and Mash in that village.

After all, to Lixiang, this excellent huntress is not a stranger. Although the specific memory is inevitably blurred, the familiarity engraved in his heart is hard to get rid of anyway.

"...So, you killed the last sacred tree without knowing it?"

Atalanta frowned. As the princess of Arcadia, although she hated this identity extremely, she had indeed heard that there was a very valuable tree in the west of Arcadia, which had been used for a long time. Nobles and royal families used it to build palaces and shrines, but as time went by, there was less and less news about the sacred tree.

Even if it is the spirit of life, will the things that grow naturally also lead to the final disappearance under the plunder of human beings?

"...that was my fault."

Li Xiang lowered his head and said.

"Hey, it's a bit ironic that such a thing happened to a hero who just came out of the mountain."

Atalanta looked at Lixiang and said: "But at least you are not a fool who is chasing fame and fortune, and you did not flog his corpse at will, so that the trees can finally fall down in their homeland and sleep forever, which can be regarded as temporarily calming his misery Alright."

"But why did you go there? There is nothing unusual about the village you mentioned except for the sacred tree. Why are you rushing to a village where the plague is rampant?"

"—We are looking for a person, a doctor, my brother."

Lixiang replied: "My companion has a strange disease...Let's understand it this way, even my teacher can't do anything about it, so I took her out to find my senior brother, Asclepius."

The young man looked at the huntress, with a little hope in his eyes, "Excuse me, do you know where he is?"

Chapter 43: Across Arcadia

"Asclepius?"

Atalanta silently read the name of the famous doctor, and said, "I know where he is, but he is not in Arcadia right now."

"Really?! Where is he now?! Tell me!"

Lixiang was taken aback, and the huntress in front of him suddenly had a clue to the news that he hadn't heard for a long time before, and he couldn't help but said to Atalanta excitedly.

The huntress paused, and gave Lixiang a strange look, and Lixiang finally realized it.

"...Sorry, I got a little too excited."
