Orpheus (1): This is a human sect composed of believers in the primordial god Ananke as the only true god, who spread throughout the Peloponnese and persuaded the powerful to build temples.

In Orpheus, there is no true god spokesperson who holds the divine power, and the person who owns the temple is the highest celebrant of the highest status, exercising the power of the oracle within the influence of the temple, and accepting the worship of the commoners and nobles.

---------------------------------------------------

Kratos knew that although his strength had soared, he was still not worth mentioning in front of some strong people, not to mention the eldest prince Alubond and Princess Aphro, and there were countless hundred-man enemies and powerhouses below them, and even generals with thousands of enemies.

Kratos's current strength is still insufficient, and he can't cope with it with his bare hands, so he wants to continue to develop his power, and when the time comes, even the nobles and high-ranking people will not dare to take action against him and the third prince easily.

Mednanlos was the first nail he drove into the military department, and power came out of the barrel of a gun, which was also an eternal truth in his previous life.

Mordnanlos replied without concealment: "Aristophanes is arrogant, and he usually swallows his anger, so his words are usually unscrupulous, and naturally he reveals a lot of secrets. ”

Kratos nodded silently, it seems that recovering such a character can indeed be of great help in the future.

Guarding the rift is a major task for humanity, and the third prince naturally needs to enter the palace immediately and report to the council on the completion of the task.

While Kratos led the rest of the guards and Kohler back to his new mansion, hundreds of young slaves were doing their most basic physical training under Athas's supervision.

It was Kratos' more intense workout that he had drawn from the special forces and Spartans of his previous life.

All the young slaves lined up in a huge circle, carrying almost the limit of their loads, and constantly whipped one of the people in the front row with a leather whip, constantly whipping the circle around quickly.

In the center of the circle, there are several cauldrons with a rising aroma, and inside are boiled fragrant pieces of pork and beast meat.

Most of these slaves were poor, and were sold as the lowest and cheapest slaves, not to mention large pieces of meat, and they probably never even had a full meal.

This is also Kratos's brutal brainwashing exercise, only the temptation of the most desired things in the heart can form a desire to persevere in the slave's heart.

When he saw Kratos leading people into the mansion, Assas immediately showed a happy expression, and he shouted at the slaves not to be lazy and continue to exercise, before quickly coming to Kratos.

"Your Excellency, you're back. After Assas finished respectfully speaking to Kratos, he looked up again, as if looking for something.

Kratos also understood what the other party was thinking, and immediately said: "The third prince went to the palace to report to the council, and this mission was completed smoothly. ”

It was only after receiving the news that his master was safe and sound that Assas breathed a sigh of relief, and it was only then that he noticed that the prisoner of war guards in front of him had exuded an aura that shocked him.

At this time, Kratos said: "Luca, you bring people to integrate into the training of these teenagers, and Assas and Kohler stay. ”

Kratos put his hands behind his back, looked at the guards who had begun to exercise their physical strength at a higher intensity, and said in a light tone: "Kohler, with your qualifications, I can at least increase your strength to the level of 10 horsepower, why didn't I do this." ”

actually asked the inexplicable question of why he didn't improve Kohler's strength, but the latter didn't show any puzzled expression.

Kohler's expression was complicated, his eyes flickered and he hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind.

He closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out a strange-looking dagger from his sleeve, and respectfully handed it to Kratos.

Kratos didn't reach for it, but took a closer look at the magic device that made Kohler's name as an escapee.

A magic tool is a piece of equipment that is made by a special method using materials derived from the body of a monster and other materials, and has magical abilities.

The Spartan aristocratic girl Geguo once met, the bundle of Annedora held in her hand was an alternative magic tool, whipping people's bodies and directly hurting people's spirits.

The role of this dagger in front of him is even more special, it can actually enable the holder to teleport at short distances.

Kohler's voice was slightly hoarse, "This is the escape dagger, made from the short horn of Paine's relic. ”

Kratos: "Huh? It's Paine's short horn, no wonder he has so much power. ”

Paine is one of the gods, and although not as powerful as the twelve main gods, he is also a true god. Legend has it that Paine had the appearance of a goat, and the two short horns on his head possessed magical powers.

The so-called relict molt means that like a snake, it will molt when it grows to a certain period, and the molt left behind is called relic.

Paine, as the god of nature, undergoes a metamorphosis every once in a while, removing the short horns from his head and regenerating them into new ones, and this escape dagger is made from the faded short horns.

Kratos asked Khloe to retract his dagger before saying, "Very well, since you can take out the life-saving thing, it proves that you understand what I mean." ”

"You have seen my means, and I can grant you invincible strength, and the ability to pass through any obstacle, and there will be no place in this world where Kohler the Escapee will be trapped. ”

Kohler's eyes shone brightly, representing ambition, and although he knew that he would probably lose his freedom forever, he would be able to gain more of what he had always dreamed of.

Although Assas, who was standing on the side, did not dare to interject, his heart was already infinitely shaken. Combined with the strangely increasing strength of those guards, he had vaguely guessed that this powerful Spartan actually had the ability to help people quickly improve their strength, not to mention knowledge, he had never even heard of it, it was a means belonging to the gods.

Kratos looked at Assas on the side and said approvingly: "Assas, you have not been lazy during this time, and your physical fitness has been greatly improved, and you can accommodate the power I have given you." ”

Kratos, of course, is not yet able to extract his own power and give it to others. But he also had a goal in mind, and that was the gladiatorial arena controlled by the Junius family.

In the middle of the city of Telian is the location of the royal palace, which is heavily guarded, and even the nobles and councilors cannot stop at it.

But near the palace, there stood a magnificent temple, the outer wall engraved with a goddess, a picture born from chaos, full of mystery and greatness.

In the temple, an old man in a red robe stood in front of a huge idol with a reverent face, his head bowed as if he was praying.

An attendant hurriedly entered the temple through the side door, and as he approached the idol of the main hall, he couldn't help but slow down, and a look of infinite devotion immediately appeared on his face.

As if sensing the arrival of the attendant behind him, the old man in the red robe did not raise his head, and said in a low tone: "Don't be so flustered. ”

The attendant bowed his head and bowed to the idol before he said to the red-robed old man: "Lord Priest, the legion that went to guard the rift of Doom has returned, but Aristophanes has disappeared, and it is rumored that he has been killed by the Spartans who have sworn with the Third Prince because he wanted to be detrimental to His Royal Highness the Third Prince. ”

The red-robed old man, who was called the chief priest, slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were not cloudy at all, but crystal clear, as if they contained infinite wisdom light.

"Aristophanes' fate has long been revealed by the Almighty God, and he was indeed killed by the Spartans. After speaking, the red-robed old man closed his eyes again, hid the flickering light in them, and then said slowly: "The life of the almighty knight of the temple belongs to the true god he believes in, and no one is qualified to deprive it, you go down." ”

Although the red-robed priest did not come to any conclusion, the attendant seemed to understand the meaning of the metaphor, and slowly and slowly retreated with bent steps, until he exited the temple, then straightened up and walked briskly in the direction of the inner city.

At this time, the distant and ethereal voice of the chief priest came from the silent temple: "The covenant of the gods has begun to ......"

Kratos stepped on the corpse of a Cretan bull, and the entire gladiatorial arena was silent, except for the strong smell of the corpses of various monsters all over the ground.

In mid-air, invisible to mortals, a large number of blood souls were extracted from the corpses of monsters, mediated by Kratos' bodies, and finally poured into the bodies of Assas and Kohler, whose strength was growing rapidly.

Assas originally had a strength of 10 horsepower, and during this time, after being trained by a special method taught by Kratos, his physical fitness was greatly improved, and at this time, he was infused with a red soul without any obstacles, until his strength more than tripled, and it was increased to 36 horsepower before reaching the limit.

Although Kohler's previous strength also reached 8 horsepower, he was mainly good at moving, running, and jumping, and his physical fitness was not outstanding, so in the end it was only increased to 21 horsepower.

After sucking most of the remaining red souls into his body, Kratos' strength had only increased by a mere 2 horsepower, and he knew that killing these low-level monsters now would be of little help to him.

"You—you actually killed all my monsters!"

Kratos raised his head and smiled at Bruno on the high platform: "Your Excellency, I won this battle, and you can send someone to the third prince's mansion with the gold you won." ”

Hearing that this vicious Spartan had destroyed most of the gladiatorial arena and opened his mouth to ask for the gambling money, Bruno's face immediately turned red and purple, and he choked in his throat for a long time and couldn't spit it out, and almost fainted to the ground.
