Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

And as sunset approached, the marathon finally came to an end...

Midway through—the night hired more people to handle the issue of appeasing this large group of people.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate heard about what was happening, especially after learning that Ye was a descendant of the heroes from the Argo, they immediately dared not neglect their duties and spontaneously joined the ranks of those maintaining order.

Meanwhile, Kreis was unknowingly sent away by Ye to do something else, and several hours had passed since Kreis left.

The sun had just set... After the last rays of the setting sun, it would soon be dark.

While the sun was still shining, Night called out to the crowd: "Alright, my friends. You have proven your physical abilities with your own actions; you are all the strongest and best warriors."

Unfortunately, I only need one follower, otherwise I would have taken you all under my command.

Now it's time to collect your due rewards, please follow me, everyone.

I will be distributing gold coins in the square in front of the palace... This is what you deserve!

Immediately, cheers erupted from the crowd.

The people who had been eagerly waiting were now completely obedient and showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

Fearing they wouldn't get their money, the crowd had no other thoughts on their minds but to quickly follow the other party's instructions, complete all the procedures, and finally get their hands on the money.

This made everyone very obedient, and even exceptionally supportive of the Night.

That night, he led a large entourage into the royal city. The soldiers guarding the gates did not dare to stop him; in fact, they respectfully saw him off.

When the crowd arrived at the central square in front of the palace, everyone was surprised to find that there was a large group of people in the square.

What are these people doing?

Only when they got closer did people realize that the group of people were gathered in a circle, looking at something.

Some sharp-eyed observers recognized it as Kress...

At this moment, Kress, the first champion to finish the marathon, was walking around the central fountain of the square, holding a huge rock. There was an equally large rock in each of the four directions of the square. Every time Kress reached a new spot, he would put down his rock and pick up the rock that was already on the ground...

Then repeat, repeat, and repeat the same thing over and over again.

This bizarre act attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

Kreis has been doing this for a long time, at least for several hours.

Only then did people realize where Kress had gone when he disappeared.

When he saw Ye arrive with the crowd, Kress finally stopped repeating his previous meaningless actions.

Chapter Sixteen: King: I don't know! Citizens: Me neither! Let's watch the show!

At this moment, Kress was no longer dressed in rags, but had changed into decent clothes.

Following the instructions of the night, he silently repeated the same action until after sunset, when the night arrived with its men.

This was the first task Ye gave him after formally accepting him as a follower.

Don't show any unnecessary emotions, just firmly complete your targets—and don't ask why you should do it.

Kreis did as he was told and obeyed the orders.

It was precisely his serious, expressionless, and indifferent demeanor, coupled with his strange actions, that drew people in and made them stop to look. He didn't seem to have any mental problems.

People began to wonder if the man had some unspeakable secret, or if he was doing this for some special purpose.

Curiosity and the desire to explore are instincts inherent in every human being.

Not to mention humans, even the gods in the heavens are the same.

Apollo and Artemis were even embarrassed to tell the other gods that they had watched a marathon all day, as well as an ordinary human performing performance art in a public square.

As soon as Kress walked up to Night and completed his handover of his mission, the onlookers in the square couldn't help but turn their attention to Night, and were immediately drawn to his handsome, otherworldly appearance and demeanor.

At this moment, the gods seemed to understand why Night made Kreis repeat those meaningless actions.

The behavior itself was meaningless, but it could attract a large crowd, and now Kreis easily turned the attention of the crowd he had attracted over the past few hours to the night.

So far——

The entire central square was already packed with people.

Night seized the opportunity and once again began to loudly proclaim her identity—

However, he didn't use words; instead, he started showing off his skills.

Since they have all received divine blessings and powerful musical talents.

How could one not make use of this talent to add a touch of mystery and legend to one's identity?

Immediately——

Ye took out her harp, closed her eyes slightly, and began to improvise, telling her story in the most popular way of the time.

Like a wandering poet—! Or like Oprius, the son of Apollo, who used the wind to tell his heart and his story to the people.

The lyrics, when translated, combined with divinely bestowed musical talent and a powerful ability to evoke emotions, allow the night to easily weave the musical world it desires.

I am Griffith Lista...

The descendants of the heroes who once sailed the Agor are now adventuring all over Greece.

Then, in the night, she recounted how she used gold coins to complete a unique marathon and select the strong followers she needed, all through a song.

The melodious singing even drifted into the palace, and Telephus heard the beautiful music, but he was too far away to hear the music itself.

Meanwhile, in the square—

It's clear that people are captivated.

If the people who initially gathered here were drawn to Kreis's performance art briefly and wanted to see what was going on, then...

Now—they are interested in the identity of Yoru himself.

Then, gold coins were distributed directly at the entrance of the square that night.

When large amounts of gold coins were indeed sent out, Night's credibility was once again affirmed.

Many people now believed his fabricated story.

Just like Shang Yang's act of moving a three-zhang (approximately 10 meters) log from the south gate to the north gate, he paid a reward of fifty jin (approximately 25 grams) to someone who would move the log from the south gate to the north gate.

This seemingly meaningless and wasteful act actually earned people's trust, establishing the authority of the laws that were subsequently promulgated and enabling their better implementation.

Ye spent a lot of money during a marathon, which made countless people trust him, and now they are even more convinced that he is the descendant of a hero!

At this moment, the true intentions of the night were finally revealed—

He told everyone that, as a descendant of a hero from the Argo, his grandfather had asked him to visit the children of his old friends before he left, to get to know them…

Next, he and his entourage would pay a friendly visit and meet with Telephus, who was also a descendant of heroes.

Suddenly——

This meeting between the sons of heroes, which can be described as an epoch-making event, attracted the enthusiastic attention of the entire city.

Everyone started paying attention to this matter and imagining what it would be like when Griffith Lista met their king.

What?What?

A meeting of the sons of heroes?

A continuation of the Argo era?

If this world had any newspapers or similar publications, it would surely attract even more onlookers.

People even began to fantasize that if the two descendants of heroes met, they might talk about interesting stories about their fathers and grandfathers who were on the Argo.

And finally—

The events in front of the palace alarmed King Telephus inside the palace.

With such a commotion, the palace guards naturally rushed to relay the news back to the palace.

Telefose dared not slacken his efforts...

Although he was a little confused, was there such a hero on the Argo?

When my father was still alive, he had told me stories about what happened on the Argo.

But aside from a few more famous ones, such as Captain Jason, who was on good terms with Hercules, Telefose had long forgotten about the deeds of the ordinary heroes.

Not to mention that after becoming king, he was busy with countless affairs every day, so he had no time to look back on old stories or events that had become epic tales.

But if other people's descendants are having a friendly meeting, then the relationship must be very good, right?

When Telephus asked what the hero's real name was.

The name Kratos Lista, which he had fabricated for the coachman, immediately reached Telefose's ears.

Although he racked his brains, he really couldn't remember which uncle this Kratos Lista was.

I didn't know! My father never told me either!

Or did I mention it, but I forgot?

Telefose's expression at that moment was both stiff and somewhat bewildered.

But since we're already here, let's take a look first.

To show respect, Telefose immediately decided to personally go to the palace gates to greet Lord Griffith Lista.

When Telefose stepped outside, he saw a large, densely packed crowd surrounding an incredibly handsome young man with silver hair that seemed to be bathed in moonlight, slowly approaching.

—Griffith Lista, Telefors recognized Ye's identity in the crowd at a glance.

It was impossible not to recognize him, or rather, the spectacle startled Telefos, who began frantically trying to recall which great hero Kratos was.

Why would someone's descendants attract so many fans?

The onlookers (spectators) naturally wouldn't bother to explain to His Majesty the King: "We were just curious and came to take a look, we didn't have any other intentions."

But this display of force truly frightened Telefose.

He began to feel fortunate for his caution. Thankfully, he hadn't dismissed the man simply because he hadn't heard of his name.

He began to smile broadly and took the initiative to greet her.

This welcome was quite something; the onlookers below seemed to light up, and were immediately stunned.

At this moment, only one thought remained in the minds of the people in the royal city—the king himself was welcoming them, and with such enthusiasm!
