Chapter 205: The Sad Elk
Along the way, Thea's heart was itching, and then she simply stopped looking, and followed them back and forth left and right. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
From the outside, the tower covers an area of about 100 square meters, but the internal space is extremely unscientific, and when you walk up, you feel that this place is boundless, is it a space spell? Thea kept looking at the surrounding environment, but unfortunately she didn't see anything.
When a few people climbed over a mountain and crossed two small rivers in the tower very unscientifically, they had come to a shallow beach covered with grass, surrounded by some low trees, and the whole environment layout could be seen to be not natural, but it was obviously a lot of effort.
An elk with a silver-white coat was lying lonely on the shore, and when it heard the footsteps of several people, it did not look up, but its ears trembled slightly, as if it wanted to distinguish the identity of the person.
"This is the oracle of Artemis, it has accompanied the goddess of the moon for countless hours, and your third test is to gain its approval, which of you will come first?"
The old priest introduced it with some pride, in fact, it was mainly for Thea, the Amazons basically knew the identity of this elk, and there were several former priests who had turned into warriors on the scene who had fed it before, and Thea was the only one who was really strange.
Although the black strong girl and the elk are not familiar with each other, but after so many years, she has also dealt with the elk in the name of Artemis, so she can be regarded as more or less familiar, right?
The old priests want to praise their ingenuity, I am so witty! I don't compare strength and skill with you, and it is useless for you to have a great force value! We are more familiar than anyone, and we have a wide range of people!
As long as the black strong girl wins this game, the results of the two are mutual wins and draws, and the overall score is still a draw, and the verbal praise of the two is even if it is revealed, as for the trouble of finding Hippolyta, you can find it next time, anyway, there is time.
"You're too much! You're blatantly bullying Thea!" "The first one to be upset was Diana, who was blessed with Athena's wisdom, and although she was a little immature in dealing with people, she was by no means a fool.
Several female fighters also protested, not because of their deep friendship with Thea, but because they felt that it was too unfair to conduct such a so-called "competition".
Even the black strong girl felt ashamed on her face, she won the opponent so shamelessly, did she still have the courage to meet people!
The old priest really practiced a golden face and iron mask, you can say casually, I am like this, and you will bite me if you are not convinced! He turned his head and asked Hippolyta with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you have any opinions?"
Hippolyta carefully observed the emotions of the people at the scene, the majority of the dissatisfied people, but there were a few people who just showed shame on their faces, if they suddenly attacked, it was still doubtful whether these people would support them, she and the old priest had a similar mentality, that is, the time was still long, and the battle also needed to be controlled within a certain range.
I made up my mind in my heart, acquiesced to this game, and then compensated Thea separately afterwards, there are a lot of good things in her private collection, Zeus is good to her junior, the god king gave away all the good things back then, and the artifact is rare in the outside world, and it is just an ordinary thing in the eyes of Hippolyta.
But it was impossible to get her to endorse a few priests, and she looked at the distant mountains as if she hadn't heard them, and was silent.
The old priest guessed her thoughts, sneered in his heart, and then turned back and said, "The angel is very tired, which of you will come first?"
The black strong girl didn't dare to look at Thea's eyes, lowered her head and said sullenly, "I'll come first." ”
Whether she wanted to show Thea an example, or whether she wanted to end the farce that violated her sense of warrior honor sooner, she slowed her steps, went around to the edge of the low tree on the side of the shallows, picked a few branches with young leaves, and broke them off. Walking slowly to the elk, his mouth making the sound of what he thought was kind, but Thea sounded like feeding a pig.
"Lulu, come and eat, Lululu. It can be seen that it is not the first time that the black strong woman has done this, her movements are skillful and her demeanor is natural, and the elk is also considered to give face to the young leaves sent to her mouth slightly raised her head and took a few bites, and then she didn't know whether she was satisfied or understood the intentions of a few people, and nodded gently.
Its action made the black strong woman breathe a sigh of relief, and she was more glad than ashamed, she didn't return to the crowd, and sat alone on the grass and muffled.
"Miss Thea, it's your turn, come?" said the old priest with a smile.
Thea gave her a middle finger angrily! Although the old priest couldn't understand what this gesture meant, he also knew that he was not praising her, and waited for Thea to make a fool of himself without smiling.
When Thea walked in, she found that the elk was really old, and compared to the animals on the island that were constantly reborn, it did not enjoy the immortality magic of Paradise Island, and it seemed that every minute and second was consumed by its own lifespan, and the years left heavy marks on its body.
The eyes that should have been clear and transparent are now full of cloudiness, and it can't see! The horns that have defeated countless powerful enemies are still as sharp as knives, but the slumber of the goddess has taken away its fighting spirit at the same time, and the invasion of time has completely lost its former courage, its soul is too tired, it is consuming its life, it is begging for death.
I don't know how these thoughts came to Thea's heart, but she can just feel the bitterness of the elk, and the power of the earth-shattering power, but everything is meaningless, it can only wait here alone for the final moment of life.
"Why is it so sad, can I help you?" Thea said in a slow but firm tone, ignoring the sharp sword-like horns and half-kneeling beside the elk, gently stroking its cheek.
The elk didn't notice her, and only thought it was those priests, but as soon as Thea's words came out, it instantly felt different, this is not those priests with complicated thoughts, who is this? Where does this intimacy come from?
It struggled to raise its head, its gray eyes struggling to open, as if trying to see the face of the person in front of it.
"Whoa—" The crowd let out all sorts of inexplicable noises, and the oracle reacted to the outsider! For the first time in their thousands of years.
Several priests' hearts were instantly thundered and accompanied by thousands of horses galloping, of course, they were the ones who were struck by lightning and trampled by thousands of horses, several people looked at each other, and they all saw the horror in the corners of their companions' eyes, "Won't it? Come again? Why do I say again, this is different from what is written in the script!"
