Zongman: People in Chaldea, all the group members are wives

【It smells good.】

[It's just that the distance is too close, making your ears itchy and making you feel a little embarrassed. ]

[Hephaestus couldn't bear to see this, so he pulled you away, took off the bracelet on his wrist, and roughly stuffed it into your hand.]

[“Wear it at ordinary times. It can save your life when you are in danger.”]

【This is....................】

【What's wrong? 】

[You are confused and feel that Hephaestus is a little strange.]

[But since there are benefits to be gained, you didn’t think too deeply about it and prepared to thank Hephaestus.]

[Unexpectedly, Hephaestus disappeared in just a short while.]

【never mind. 】

[Next time I have the chance to return to Lemnos, I will thank her in person. ]

【Wearing a gold bracelet and carrying a lantern. 】

[You accepted Poseidon's trial.]

[“I want you to go to Crete and kill the monster in the maze, the Minotaur!”]

.................................................. ................

The name Minotaur often appears in various works, especially those about the other world.

It is the Minotaur in Greek mythology, a monster born from the abnormal sexual relationship between Pasiphae, the wife of King Minos of Crete, and the Cretan bull.

By the way, the appearance of Minotaur is somewhat related to Poseidon.

In order to prove that his usurpation of power was legitimate, Minos prayed to Poseidon for a miracle.

I don’t know whether this old guy Poseidon did it by accident or on purpose.

Minos was rewarded with a beautiful white bull and asked to sacrifice the bull to himself.

Minos was reluctant to do so, so he slaughtered another bull as a sacrifice, which angered Poseidon.

In a fit of rage, Poseidon cursed Taurus' wife, who fell in love with a white bull.

In order to cover up the scandal, Taunus ordered the construction of a wooden cow and locked his wife inside.

As a result, the wooden ox was so realistic that the white bull mistook it for a real ox and mounted his horse with his gun in hand.

There is probably no need to say more about what happened next.

The Minotaur was born. In order to cover up the scandal, Taur asked Daedalus to build a labyrinth and locked the Minotaur inside.

He also played the trick of killing the donkey after it had done its work. He sealed the exit of the maze and locked Daedalus and his son Icarus inside.

"I understand."

After sorting out the context, Lin Yi took on the trial.

"Then go ahead. We will be in the temple, watching your triumphant return."

Poseidon nodded with satisfaction and returned to the bottom of the sea.

"Come on, little Zoe."

Not knowing what bad idea she had, Athena patted Lin Yi's shoulder with a smile and said, "When you complete the trial, I have a surprise for you."

It’s better to be surprised than to be shocked!

Lin Yi really wanted to stay away from Athena, mainly because this goddess of wisdom was too smart. He always felt like a puppet, being led by her.

But if he wants to be a hero, he can't do without her.

So he could only force a smile and decline, "I am already very honored to receive your appreciation. I really can't accept your surprise again."

"That's not up to you."

Athena snorted, grabbed Lin Yi's ear, and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking just because you don't say it. Anyway, I don't care, I will give you a surprise! Whether you accept it or not!"

Isn't this too overbearing?

"I'm sorry, but gods are overbearing. Do you have any objection?"

Lin Yi: “....................”

Oh no, I forgot again that gods can read minds!

"It's decided. I'm leaving now. Come on, you better do your best."

After giving Lin Yi a final word of encouragement, Athena's figure slowly disappeared into the air.

"Finally they're all gone."

Lin Yi let out a breath, and he felt visibly relaxed.

Being around a group of main gods, the pressure is really too great.

Unfortunately, he was still a weakling, and if he wasn't careful, he would be reopened on the spot.

End this simulation.

If possible, Lin Yi would actually prefer to stay with Anna, Togo and others.

“Zoe, are you unhappy?”

“It’s not like I’m unhappy….”

Having been blessed and having a trump card to save his life, how could he not be happy?

only.....................

I always feel that the sinister Athena is planning something again.

Lin Yi really couldn't think of it.

"never mind."

"Let's deal with the matter at hand first."

Turning his head to look at Anna and Togo who were staring at him with two pairs of eyes, waiting for his decision, Lin Yi smiled, waved his hand, pointed in the direction of Crete, and said heroically: "Team Zoe is going, partners, let's start a new adventure!"

"oh oh!"

Although she felt a little inexplicably ashamed, Anna still cooperated by raising one arm and echoing.

Togo howled and corrected the mistake in Lin Yi's words.

"Woo woo woo!" (It should be Togo's team!)

Chapter 28: You call this the Age of Gods?! (Please bookmark!)

[Togo's speed is as fast as ever, even with an extra Anna on his back, it doesn't matter. 】

[Under the guidance of the lantern, the two men and the wolf soon arrived at the island of Crete, where they were warmly received by King Minos of Crete.]

[The king welcomed you at the city gate and arranged a grand banquet for you.]

[“Hero, I have received the oracle from His Majesty Poseidon. I will feel at ease if you help me kill the man-eating monster.”]

[As soon as he saw you, Minos kept complaining with a sad expression.]

[He told you that the Minotaur was cruel by nature and ate many innocent people every day.]

[In order to stop this monster from destroying the people of the Kingdom of Crete, he had no choice but to order the construction of a maze with no exit, trapping the monster inside.]

[But the maze cannot completely stop the Minotaur. We need to regularly throw a few people into it to fill its stomach in order to regain peace.]

【"Yeah?"】

[After listening to this, you just smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."]

Minos did not hear your sarcasm and continued, "Now that you, a famous hero, are here, I don't have to worry about the harm of the Minotaur. I, Minos, am here to express my highest respect to you on behalf of all the people of the Kingdom of Crete!"

[At the banquet, the king toasted and gave you the highest level of treatment.]

【However, you do not feel joy. 】

“He’s a liar.”

[After the show, Anna whispered beside you: "What he just said is completely different from what you told us, Zoe."]

[“It’s not that different. The Minotaur did eat people, and the Kingdom of Crete was indeed persecuted by it. It’s just that...he didn’t tell the whole truth.”]

【The best lie is this. 】

[All of the information was told truthfully, but some information was concealed.]

[It is true that the Minotaur eats people, but the Minotaur will not tell you why this monster came into this world.]

[“Should we still help him?”]

[Perhaps because they are both "monsters", Anna sympathizes with the Minotaur: "I hate this king!"]

[“From the beginning, I did not come to attack the Minotaur because of Minos’ request. What I will do specifically depends on the subsequent situation.”]

[You thought about it and said, "Anyway, let's go to the maze and take a look tomorrow."]

[Anna and Togo have no objection. They both have a clear idea of ​​their own position.]

【——Gold medal fighter.】

【When it comes to using your brain, you still have to rely on yourself. 】

[I am too lazy to think about it. Anyway, there is an external brain, and I just need to follow your instructions. ]

【Nothing happened overnight, and the next morning was early. 】

[Minos came to you impatiently and asked you when you would set out to defeat the Minotaur.]

[And he promised that if you kill the monster, he would give you a reward of ten thousand gold coins.]

[The hero defeats the monster, and the king gives treasures. 】

[This is a timeless and classic routine in Greek mythology. ]

[Both parties got what they wanted, which is a relatively satisfactory ending. ]

【But you refused. 】

[Tell Minos that you came here to defeat monsters, not to gain wealth. Money is something outside of your body. You can’t bring it with you when you are born, and you can’t take it with you when you die. It is useless to you.]

【Minos was surprised.】

[This is the first time he has met a hero like you. ]

[Aren’t heroes the greediest group of people? ]

【Why would you refuse the treasure that is delivered to your door? 】

[He couldn't figure it out, but being able to save some money still made Minos very happy.]

[He praised your nobleness and said that he would spread your good name to every corner of this continent.]

.................................................. ................

Lin Yi said a few perfunctory words to Minos, then he and Anna boarded Togo and headed towards the maze.

The labyrinth is located in the westernmost part of Crete, which is a large plain.

The terrain is flat and the flowers and plants are lush.

The further you go inside, the more giant trees you can see.

Togo harnessed the wind and leapt directly over the wall, moving through it with ease.

Lin Yi did not go directly to find the Minotaur, but asked Togo to take a walk around in the maze.

He remembered that Minos had killed Daedalus and his son Ikaros in the labyrinth.

These two people are innocent. If you can take them out, just take them out.

"Look for populated areas and head in that direction. Daedalus and Ikaros should not be dead yet."

"Woo woo!" (Got it!)
