"Ah... Did I disturb you? Sorry, sorry..."
Lixiang forced a smile, and wanted to reach out and touch the owl's head to comfort her.
But the owl avoided Lixiang's hand, and then stepped on his arm.
"Coo? Coo coo."
Now she felt that this guy was becoming more and more suspicious, maybe she was really holding back something in her heart and didn't say anything.
"Don't worry about me...I'm sure I'm fine...just a little...tired."
Lixiang smiled dryly, and Owl knew that this idiot didn't even know that he had the same intelligence and consciousness as humans, and the words he said to himself at this moment were actually words he used to comfort himself.
"Gu..."
After staying by his side for such a period of time, most of the resentment and anger towards him at the beginning have subconsciously dissipated. Facing this human being who is clearly close at hand but has no idea of his identity, Owl is inexplicably at this moment. There was a little sour emotion for him.
Even God knows that no one will be as tired as an iron man, and of course the young man in front of him is also like this.
And sometimes fatigue is not only physical, but also spiritual. She doesn't understand it very well, but maybe this is suitable for Lixiang.
"...Want to hear me say a few more words?"
Li Xiang looked at the pure white owl in front of him, couldn't help but put his arm in front of him, and said softly.
"..."
She didn't say anything, maybe it's best to keep silent at this time.
Seeing that the little bird he rescued from a deserted place was looking at him, Lixiang gradually felt that there was a friend around him who he could talk to.
"I'm having that nightmare again."
"That kind of nightmare... turned into a monster... to eat... I don't know what it is, blood... blood everywhere, blood all over my body..."
Li Xiang whispered, lowered his head, and murmured intermittently, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"I don't even know what I did... I seem to have killed something... Still eating the meat of those things..."
"... It's not the first time I've had this kind of dream... time and time again... it's become more and more clear... I'm so scared... Now I occasionally see some places and feel like I've been there in my dream... ..."
"It doesn't seem like a dream at all, that's what will definitely happen to me... I will become a monster that drinks hair and blood... I will become a monster little by little..."
Lixiang's left hand covered her eyes with some fear, no matter whether she was awake or in a dream, it seemed that the fear could not go away no matter what...
"If I run away now, can I get away from all this?"
After a short silence, Lixiang said softly.
"Cuckoo (of course impossible)."
Although she initially planned not to answer anyway, she couldn't help but respond like this, although this reaction to Lixiang might just be a coincidence or accident.
Don't even think about it, even if she hasn't been to Olympus again, she can know from Hermes' words what kind of status Lixiang's current existence occupies for the gods and this era.
He is deep in the center of the vortex, and it is impossible to escape no matter what.
He... From the very beginning, he didn't realize what kind of role his existence played in the great changes of this era.
The power of Theia, in order for the gods to continue, and for Gaia to achieve its own goals, no one will ignore such a powerful and terrifying power.
"It's definitely impossible..."
Li Xiang, who heard the owl's cry, looked at her, and then lightly touched her head with his fingers.
Until this time, until the invisible torture fell on him, Li Xiang realized that his heart seemed not as tough and unyielding as he had imagined.
It might be fragile.
This setback has left a scar in my heart that I don't know how to heal. Next time... I don't know what I will encounter next time.
A lot of fear will not last long, but it can turn into fatigue and accumulate in the heart for a long time. These things that are completely rotten in the bottom of the heart are gasoline and firewood. More and more, until a certain trivial incident became the last straw that broke his mental barrier.
Or be ignited by a series of negative emotions such as resentment, resentment, and anger, and burn the mud, including his whole body.
…………
After dawn, the heroes drove the Argo to the opposite bank of Bithynia, where Thrace was the arm of civilization extended from Athens.
This place is as prosperous as Iolkos, and the streets are full of people. This is a scene that the heroes have never seen in the former homeland of the Chios.
Because supplies have been replenished yesterday, Jason is not in a hurry after this mooring. The prosperity of Thrace has been heard by all Greek heroes, so Jason decided to temporarily moor here for a while and inquire about it at the same time. future intelligence.
Many heroes have disembarked. This is a city-state that is much more prosperous than the previous Bithynia. In the following journey, the prosperous city-state will not be mentioned. I don’t know if the transit point during the journey is inhabited. If you can visit such a place now, you can visit it, but you will have no chance in the future.
"Hey, how do you sell this wine?"
"Oh, this wine is the best wine here, you can't buy it in other places! It's the money..."
"Do I look like someone who can't pay?!"
A hero who got off the Argo glared at the people inside, and was about to dig out the money in his leather pouch as he spoke, when a child bumped him from behind.
Of course, it is impossible for a ten-year-old child to bump into a hero. With a puzzled "Huh?", he grabbed the child with his big hand, and he grabbed the child by the back of the neck, and he picked it up.
"Stinky boy, dare to steal my things?!"
The man who had experienced many battles carried a fierce aura that made people shy away from him, and the child who had bumped into him was frightened and stupid.
In his hand he held a silver coin that he had taken out of the hero's leather pouch.
"You stinky brat—"
His temper was not good, and when he saw that he had indeed been stolen, his veins burst out immediately, and he stretched out his hand and slapped the child in the face.
"——"
But after a while, the crisp sound of slaps did not resound. He frowned, curled his lips, touched the dagger at his waist, separated the blouse from the boy, and tore it off.
"Stolen my things, shouldn't you make up for it?! Get out of here!"
The child was put down with only a pair of trousers tied around his waist.
The child was pushed away by him, but his fist was clenched tightly, still holding only the silver coin he had stolen from the hero.
"Hmph - spit!"
The hero looked at it with disdain, but what he saw when he turned his head was the dull eyes of the wine shopkeeper.
"What are you looking at! Bring me five cans of wine, how much do you want?!"
…………
The heroes on the Argo are changing unknowingly, maybe they are suffering from confusion, maybe they have found a little hope by chance after a long period of chaos.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Thrace has no king now, and the last king has abdicated for some years.
The previous king was called Phineus. It is said that he could accurately predict all kinds of oracle, but because he was disrespectful to the gods when he was young, he spoke out all the secrets he knew.
This act of disrespect to the gods was of course punished. Legend has it that the gods made him white-haired and blind overnight, and an evil bird named Harpy made him lose gifts and riches. food.
After that, he chose to abdicate and lived here.
After Jason heard the news, he followed several heroes to find the old man who was rumored to have predicted many oracles.
As a result, when the residents of the street learned that a large ship full of heroes had sailed to this time, they took the initiative to find Jason, hoping that they could meet King Phineus here.
"Oh... so... did this Phineus know we were coming here from the beginning?"
After sending away those who volunteered to ask the heroes to see Phineus, Jason stood at the bow of the boat and watched the crowd of people mixed into the street after disembarking, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
"Then let's go and have a look. Since Phineus will say, 'In the future, a ship of heroes will come and rescue me from this suffering.' Such a statement should not be false."
Tivers took a sip of the wine brought by the hero just now, leaned against the side of the mast, and said comfortably.
"Go and call Theasius, and don't call the other people who have already disembarked. Just a few of us go and have a look first. He talked with Hermes for a long time a few days ago. I know what they are talking about, but maybe I can get some other news when I meet the old man who can predict the oracle."
Jason stood up and said, although what he said was true, it would be best if he didn't have to work himself, but this is also a matter related to the gods. Jason is very clear that he can have Argonaut now. No., and the voyage so far, the protection of the gods is indispensable.
So even if it was just a little thing, Jason still cheered up because of the sense of crisis in his heart, and dealt with the matter on Phineus' side.
Lixiang and Mash, as well as the Boreas brothers who cut off the sea monster's wrists and feet, and several other heroes were summoned by Jason. After briefly explaining the cause and effect of this incident, the blond captain So they took them off the boat to find Phineus who was living in seclusion in this street.
Speaking of which, Phineus' wife is also the sister of the Boreas brothers, and the two are closely related, but they haven't seen each other for some years, and I don't know if they can still talk.
"Living in the streets? What kind of nonsense is that? It's strange."
Zetes, one of the Boreas brothers, shook his head. He had never heard of such a saying. Recluse means recluse. Logically speaking, he should hide in the deep mountains and old forests for them to find. How did he get here? Is it different?
"There is a saying in the far east called 'The big hermit hides in the city, and the small hermit hides in the wild'. Although the meanings may be different, there is something similar in meaning."
Matthew thought about it, then said.
"Oh—Matthew, have you ever been to such a distant place? It's amazing."
Kalaes, one of the Boreas brothers, exclaimed. Although he had grown a pair of wings like his brother Zetes, he never flew over the sea, across the mountains, and across the wilderness to the extremely remote place. , but the girl in front of her can easily talk about the sayings of a distant place, presumably she has overcome many difficulties and dangers, and is here in thousands of mountains and valleys.
This alone far surpassed himself and his brothers, which really made him sigh.
"No, it's just that I have been to many places with my predecessors, and I have seen a lot of things..."
The girl smiled shyly, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at the boy beside her.
She didn't mean anything else, really.
As a studious child, Matthew habitually extended the allusions and words in various eras, countries, and cultures, but was directly regarded by others as proof of the fact that a girl crossed thousands of mountains and rivers-this is something that Matthew has not thought of at this moment. , but when she thinks about it, she will also find that what she seems to have experienced is not very different from what Karais imagined.
From a literal point of view, there is almost no difference.
After all, correcting human principles also requires crossing thousands of mountains and rivers.
On the contrary, Matthew's modesty made the heroes even more awe-inspiring. In the past, teenagers could travel around, and now they embark on this unprecedented adventure on the Argo. If they reach their age in the future, the teenagers in front of them The girl may become a hero known to everyone in Greece like Hercules.
Li Xiang didn't pay much attention to the situation here, he raised one hand, and there was a snow-white owl standing on his arm, and his eyes full of wisdom always made people feel tense and slightly nervous.
He walked on the street a little godlessly, but even if he was just looking at the flowers, he still noticed the pedestrians on the street from time to time. They didn't have smiles on their faces, and they didn't have any obvious expressions. It is bliss, calm and bliss.
This is probably something that those who have experienced hardships and wars can hardly understand anyway.
Who gave this happiness to them?
Such questions inevitably popped up in his heart, but there was no need to answer them. This place might not be perfect, but it didn't mean it wasn't beautiful.
"........."
Matthew noticed too.
It's not perfect, but happy people.
Who gives their happiness?
The same question also appeared in her mind, but soon, her thoughts were interrupted, the scene in front of her eyes flashed like a horse, and finally her eyes only stayed in the old house in front of her .
There was a "creak", which made people feel a little unpleasant. In the sound of opening the door, a skinny old man walked out the door leaning on the wall with a cane. His eyes were closed, but he opened them at all. "Front.
"Who...? Who is looking for me..."
The old man, who looked at his aging appearance, asked slowly.
"Heroes are coming, Argonauts are coming! Lord Phineus!"
The man who led Jason and the others to Phineus' side would be a little too excited to speak for a while, but the joy of seeing the dawn of hope could not be hidden no matter what.
"Oh, is it so……"
Although the old man's movements were a little trembling, his words seemed to reveal a trace of calm.
"Since you're here... then come in and sit down..."
The old man's voice was very calm, and he didn't seem to be suffering as people said. Jason and the others seemed a little surprised, but they still followed the trembling old man into the old house.
The things here are not so much worn out as they are old. The small room is not crowded, and there are not too many things placed there. There are only some necessities of life. Everything inside can feel these things at a glance. It may have been used for a long time, the room is very clean, even if the floor is just some rubble, it is very neat and spotless.
Jason directly explained the purpose of coming to this old man named Phineus, but Lixiang couldn't help but still focus more on this old-looking house.
"We need your prophecy to show us the way ahead."
"If it's a hero's request...then I should accept it, but...son of Aeson, I have one condition...I need you and the heroes of the Argo to help me get rid of the Harpies."
