Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Until I got an arrow in the knee

 The centaur sage by the river stood up from the green grass and looked back at the old man behind him.

"he's gone?"

"Um…"

 “It's time for you to go too, right?”

"Roughly the same."

Lorne nodded, bent down and sat down on a piece of bluestone, then skillfully took out a pen and paper, suddenly put on a serious look, and asked seriously.

 “So, who did we talk about last time?”

 “Father Ouranos.”

“Okay, Teacher Ma, go on, I'm listening.”

Chiron looked at the blind old man in front of him, and finally gave up on correcting this strange name, and instead patiently told the past about the first generation of Titan **** Uranus.

 A few days ago, the blind poet who called himself "Homer" came to Mount Perriand, where he lived, under the guise of seeking medical advice.

During the diagnosis and treatment, he did not care about his illness at all. Instead, he was keen to ask himself some strange questions.

 For example, where did original life come from?

Is there a master named "Chaos" in the ancient chaos?

  What is the past of the Twelve Titans?

Do the gods of the Titanic era usually look more like humans or more like beasts?

 How did the first golden humans reproduce before the arrival of the female Pandora?

These questions cover various aspects such as customs, history and legends, rumors and secrets, etc. Many of them cannot even be answered by themselves. They can only pick up a few questions that they know and explain them.

However, he was extremely satisfied.

 And in order to get more and more detailed information, this strange old man even used the excuse of being blind to seek medical treatment and has been staying on Mount Perriand for several days.

With the breeze blowing, the old man in the audience listened quietly to Chiron's explanation while moving the tip of his pen, and lines of meaningful and beautiful sacred words were engraved on the blank parchment.

 “Uranus, the mother of all things, the constant ingredient of the universe,

 The oldest god, the beginning and end of all,

O Father of the universe, you are like a planet orbiting the earth,

O abode of the blissful gods, you travel in the fleeting moment,

 Guard the heaven and earth and cover all things!

 You embrace the invincible inevitability of nature.

You are deep blue, invincible, radiant, and ever-changing.

O blissful elf, you see everything, you will give birth to Cronus,

 Listen to me, please grant believers a holy life. "

 As the last sentence was completed, the blind old man put the parchment aside to dry with satisfaction and continued to ask.

“Okay, next, Cronus, the second-generation god-king? What kind of existence is he?”

Chiron, the sage, pondered for a moment and gave a pertinent description as usual.

The old man's pen tip moved again, and while he was sketching the handwriting, Chiron glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly discovered that there seemed to be nine graceful figures in the invisible air around the blind old man, looming.

Whenever you encounter pauses in wording and sentence formation and troubles in diction modification, the nine figures around you react differently:

They either held the old man's arm and wrote for him; or they sang in the old man's ear to soothe his mood;

Either brushing against the pair of gray eyes to broaden his vision in the chaos; or gently holding the old head in his arms to awaken the exhausted thoughts.

At the same time, the expression, temperament and demeanor of that old face seemed to be constantly changing, sometimes gloomy, sometimes joyful; sometimes solemn, sometimes joyful; sometimes angry, sometimes calm... There seemed to be countless characters, countless memories, and countless personalities. Influx into that brain, and together they color the lines of sacred words written in the pen.

“Cronus, father of men and gods, you never grow old,

The clever, pure, strong and brave Titan,

　　You destroy everything and regenerate everything,

 You embrace the infinite universe in immortal connection,

 Chronos, the lord of time, the words of Cronus are of many colors,

 Son of Gaia and starry Uranus!

 You are the birth, growth and decline, the husband of Rhea, the herald of dignity.

 You live in every corner of the universe, you are the ancestor of the living,

 You are cunning and resourceful, but you are the bravest! Hear my prayers,

 Give my life a rich and blameless ending. "

When the period fell, the rustling pen tip stopped moving. The old man showed a satisfied smile and handed the parchment full of characters to the opposite side.

"how?"

Looking at the sacred words in his hand, Chiron was amazed, as if he could see the magnificent [history] through the paper, and a certain figure in his memory seemed to appear on the paper.

  However, there is a fly in the ointment.

 “It's so well written.”

 “Which sentence?”

 “I mean the characters…”

Chiron looked at the description of [Kronus] on the parchment and pointed out the error honestly.

Hearing this, Lorne couldn't help but laugh. Chiron, the centaur sage, is actually a complete **** born of the Titan **** King Cronus and the goddess Philula.

 But because Cronus had **** with Philula in the form of a horse, Chiron was born as a centaur.

Mother Philula refused to feed Chiron because of his strange appearance, and eventually turned into a linden tree.

 Coupled with Cronus' reputation for devouring his children, his opinion of his parents is naturally not very good.

As for the doubts raised by the parties involved, Lorne, as the author, came up with a well-prepared argument.

“Since it is a sacred word praising the gods and creation, it is natural to show their brighter side, and some beautification is also appropriate.”

Chiron thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and showed a trace of apology for his rudeness.

 Teacher Ma, what a good person!

Seeing this situation, Lorne lamented in his heart that he could meet a rare species like 24k pure and good people in Greece, but he also felt a little guilty for concealing some things that he said insincerely.

Well, as a pragmatist, he only glorifies Cronus when he is full.

 The reason why this is done is because as long as Cronus is whitewashed, Zeus's seizure of power can be indirectly discredited.

As the human population on the earth gradually grew, the gods apparently did not realize that the era of culture-determined beliefs had arrived.

The pen of history is as sharp as a knife. If we master the right to speak and reshape the images of gods in literature and history, it will inevitably affect human beings' beliefs in different gods.

 Furthermore, smuggling private goods has always been something writers like to do.

 But if you want to create literary works that are known all over the world and expand their influence, you need the best minds and inspiration.

It is precisely based on this deep purpose that Lorne risked offending Apollo to death, and obtained nine Muses from the hands of the God of Light, and through this time in the lower world, he shared the pseudonym [Homer] with them. , to complete his long-planned plan.

—That is, revising the [Holy Dictionary], compiling the [Theogony], and secretly crushing up his own Dionysian teachings and stuffing them into it.

Of course, in order to achieve superficial fairness, it is necessary to interview the parties and insiders and conduct "historical data collection."

 The good old Chiron was his first interviewee.

 In addition, he also has other intentions towards Teacher Ma himself.

It seems that the linden tree that my mother transformed into is a kind of tree that is full of kindness to the world. The flowers were used medicinally, and the bark was used as a divination tablet.

 So, even though Chiron did not have the love of his parents, he did not feel sorry for himself and fight against the world. Instead, he worked hard to learn to become a sage when he grew up.

 Generally speaking, in addition to being excellent hunters, the centaur family uses the lower body of the horse with superb bow and arrow skills. They also have a savage side that snatches all kinds of items.

For example, the centaur tribes Lorne and Artemis encountered in Arcadia were wild and difficult to train.

Chiron alone has the impression of a "sage", and his gentle and kind character is unique among the centaurs.

Chiron grew up proficient in all kinds of knowledge. Due to his calm character and ingenious teaching methods, countless "future heroes" in Greece were educated by him.

Hercules, Achilles, Asclepius who later became the **** of medicine, and Castor who became the Gemini were all his students.

In addition, Jason, the leader of the Argonauts and the one who joined Medea, was also one of the students, and he was full of talents.

The reason why Lorne chose to come to Teacher Ma's residence as the first stop was that he was entrusted by his old lover Artemis to take care of his cheap nephew Asclepius. Athena means poaching people.

—The goddess of wisdom followed his advice and opened an [Athens Academy] in Athens to focus on the popularization of academics and magic.

 Since it has just been established, both teachers and students are in short supply.

Chiron, the sage with many talents all over the world, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Moreover, as the unpopular son of Cronus, Chiron is also very suitable to develop into a downline to jointly fight against Olympus.

Although he himself is independent of the world, in this chaotic world, not fighting means that you are weak and can be bullied, and you may not be able to let fate let you go at a critical moment.

As far as Lorne knows, one day in the future, when resolving a dispute between the Centaurs, Chiron, a good man, will be shot by a poisonous arrow from nowhere, and will have to endure it because of his immortality. With pain.

　　Until the centaur sage, who had no fight with the world, became "Sagittarius", surrendered to Olympus, adorned the divine power of the sky, and returned immortality to the gods, he finally got rid of this pain.

 The one who shot the poisonous arrow at that time was none other than his most proud disciple, the great hero Hercules.

Furthermore, Hercules only had a conflict with a group of centaurs when they were competing for a barrel of wine brewed by the **** of wine.

This manic hero chased and beat up the centaurs who angered him.

But an arrow shot at the centaurs, the arrow grazed the arm of an unlucky man, and unfortunately hit Chiron's knee.

The participants in this tragedy, except for Heracles and the group of centaurs, the venom on the arrows came from Hydra, the Hydra who was killed by Hercules.

Lorne himself wouldn't believe it if there wasn't something fishy about the fate brought together by a group of “coincidences”.

Therefore, whether as a suspect in the case or to create trouble for the Olympian God King, he had to eliminate this possible future and abduct the versatile Teacher Ma to Athens.

Thinking of this, Lorne looked solemn and spoke in a deep voice.

"Teacher Ma, your disciple Asclepius has agreed to the invitation of the Academy of Athens and plans to reunite with you in Athens after traveling to Cyprus. Through the revelation of fate, I seem to have seen something not so good. Something might happen to him, so..."

Chiron was silent for a moment when he heard the words. He took out the bronze emblem of the Gorgon from his arms. After a few days of hesitation, he finally made up his mind and responded in a deep voice.

 “Athens? OK, I will go...”

Seeing that the centaur sage was finally tricked into boarding the pirate ship, an unscrupulous **** who specializes in cheating honest people smiled with satisfaction.

 Buy one get one free, perfect!
