Chapter Fifty-Six: The Temple of Aphrodite
The brothel complex was built like a religious temple, surrounded by walls, temples, pools, and a statue of a goddess standing above the clearing.
The statue of this goddess and its surroundings reflect each other, exuding an infinite allure that makes a man's blood gush at the slightest glance, and even a man with a dark disease will immediately become a pillar of optimism.
There is no doubt that this is the temple that represents * and the beautiful Aphrodite, and almost all the shepherds are devotees of the god of beauty.
The doors of all the temples here are completely open, and the shepherds, dressed only in translucent light veils and exuding infinite charm, are half-lying on the stairs or sitting on the edge of the pool, waiting for the man's favor.
"Bring out all of you, the most beautiful women of you, Ievt, and this prince is going to create an epic myth to be sung tonight!"
At this time, the third prince had fully entered the role of a prostitute, with his legs out, gold exposed, and his expression was yelling.
The third prince is worthy of being a frequent visitor here, and immediately after a roar, several shepherd prostitutes walked out of the temple, all of them are fat and thin, and they are stunning.
And in Kratos's senses, there are also inexplicable fluctuations in the bodies of these shepherds, which are the divine light that only believers who are favored by the gods have.
"These women are masters of this!"
Kratos' consciousness finally had time to surface this thought, and he was overwhelmed by the pink arms* and the bee waist milk.
With the strength of a hundred enemies, he couldn't even control himself at this moment, and his body was at the mercy of a group of weak and powerless stunning colors, and he was brought into one of the buildings like a marionette, and then the door was closed, and soon there was a heart-shaking sound.
It wasn't until the third day that the third prince, Arthur Evans, returned to the mansion with weak legs and black eyes.
And beside him, there was a refreshed Spartan, wearing animal skin shoes and trousers, and his shirtless body exuded infinite strength.
In the end, the third prince almost crawled away from the temple of the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, while Kratos was surrounded by a group of shepherds and prostitutes, and strode away with sweet words, and the gap between the two made the third prince secretly swear that he would never go to prostitution with this monster again in the future.
Arthur Evans immediately fell asleep when he returned to the mansion, while Kratos summoned Assas, Khloe, and Luca to make a series of arrangements for them.
The gold exploited in the gladiatorial arena has been retrieved, and with Kratos's current notoriety and the hot status of the third prince, even the Junius family does not dare to offend, so as long as they break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, lick their smiling faces and send the gold to the third prince's mansion.
Coupled with the gold and expensive luxuries given by the king, Kratos used most of his wealth to buy a large number of slaves.
These slaves were all extremely young, the oldest was no more than 12 years old, and they were extremely malleable and avoided the spies arranged by people with ulterior motives.
Assas was appointed Commander of the Guard, responsible for the physical training of all slaves, as well as the training of individual combat skills.
Luca was Assas's deputy, responsible for the coordination of military formations and the teaching of killing methods on the battlefield.
Kratos screened 80 agile and clever young slaves based on Ashas's observations of slave characteristics, and formed an intelligence bureau headed by Kohler.
Although Kohler found the name of the Intelligence Bureau rather strange, he immediately understood his function, and in the future he would become a blade hidden in the dark, and only the most critical moment would it be unsheathed.
After arranging it, Kratos spent several more days sorting out and teaching the slaves how to exercise.
Especially when Kohler saw a series of unheard-of secret skills, his heart was completely firm, and he could not be an enemy of this Spartan for the rest of his life.
"If I follow this Spartan, I can really do it......"
Kratos is spending a lot of money and unbridled in the practice room he built for himself.
Limbs and waists were tied to large pieces of falling star stones, which were meteorites that had fallen from the heavens of the gods, hard and massive, the weight of an ordinary fist.
The Falling Star Stones tied to Kratos' body now add up to at least 100 tarans, which is equivalent to the weight of 100 sturdy adults.
The floor of this practice room is covered with strange black turf, and if you look closely, you will find that these black grasses are like hands that have shrunk to the extreme, constantly swaying around Kratos.
This is the hair of the dead that only grows in the Jedi full of miasma and poisonous insects, once stimulated by the blood of life, it will form a strong attraction while swaying, and the more vigorous the blood, the more active the hair of the dead will be, and the person standing on it is like being bound by the long hair of the deceased, and the strength of the whole body is limited, and even unable to breathe.
The whole house was covered with the hair of the dead, and once ordinary people entered, they would even be directly sucked dry.
Kratos' skin was soaked and shiny, and sweat was dripping like rain, nourished by blood and sweat, but the hair of the dead under his feet was even more vigorous.
Kratos only felt that every time he raised the barbell in his hand, he had to exert all his strength, and the cells in his body almost let out a moaning sound.
But Kratos didn't stop at all, the black qi in his eyes was tumbling and surging, and he continued to squeeze the limits of his body like a desperate one.
Now Kratos urgently needs to increase the strength of his body, only if his body is stronger, can he hold more power, otherwise the third beast soul will be successfully condensed, and I am afraid that the power of the rage will blow up his body.
He didn't know how long it had been, but he was awakened by the unshrill, but distinctive, sound of a bird's cry, and Kratos lowered the barbell in his hand, which was as large as two houses, and struggled to move his steps over the dead man's hair.
When he pushed open the door, an emerald green thorn bird flew over his head, and a shell inscribed with words fell from the sky and landed on his hand.
"It's ...... Triathlon!"
Almost at the same time, the entire city of Telian received the upcoming events of the Little Olympiad, and the news spread at great speed throughout the Mycenaean kingdom by the thorn bird, which represented peace and wisdom.
The third prince crossed Erlang's legs and looked at Kratos and the others beside him for a long time, as if he was not in a hurry for the next project at all.
Kohler pointed to the parchment map spread out on the table, and explained earnestly: "This triathlon starts from the city of Tellian, goes north at the end of the plain of Mesodas, crosses the Eurotas River, and finally reaches the barrenland. ”
At this time, Kohler's image has changed dramatically from before, wearing a pitch-black robe without any patterns, hiding his limbs in it, his eyes are slightly narrowed to make people see the expression clearly, and the whole person is like a sharp weapon hidden in the scabbard.
The so-called triathlon is a comprehensive test of a person's strength, speed and intelligence.
When Asas heard this, he immediately said in surprise: "Barren land, that dead land full of cold and death, occupied by the Macedonians?"
Kohler's tone remained unchanged as he continued: "That's right, that's the place, according to the instructions, the triathlon starts when the sun rises to the center in five days, and reaches the barren land as soon as possible, and chops off one of the three giants and brings it back. ”
"According to the information compiled and obtained by our intelligence bureau, the three-headed giant is one of the most powerful monsters in the Barrens, and its specific strength is unknown, but it is certain that it has the strength of at least a hundred enemies. And most importantly, due to the lack of food in the barren land, in order to reduce the exertion of physical strength, the three-headed giant will sink itself into the ice after swallowing enough food and sleep for a long time. ”
Kratos immediately grasped the key to it, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low tone: "In other words, although this big guy has three heads, it is likely to be hidden in a place where no one can find it." ”
Kohler nodded affirmatively, but he didn't know how to find the three-headed giant easily, after all, the intelligence bureau had just been established, and it took a lot of effort to be able to detect this habit of the three-headed giant.
Kratos looked at the rudimentary map on the table, his eyes flickering and he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally the glint in his eyes converged, but it was quickly hidden by the slightly narrowed eyelids.
Five days later, when Arthur Evans went to the palace to get the nameplate for the competition, the triathlon officially began.
But when they left the city of Telian and walked on the vast plain of Mesodas, they did not see the traces of the eldest prince and the second prince at all.
Before leaving, Kohler's intelligence bureau had done its best to find out about its rivals, but it had not received any useful information at all, and it was not even known when and how the eldest and second princes had left.
In this case, Kratos didn't have time to think about it, and when Tellian City completely disappeared from sight, he immediately mobilized the majestic blood qi in his body, and the scaly body of the war pig suddenly appeared.
Considering the high intensity of the triathlon, Kratos only brought Assas to be responsible for the personal guard of the third prince, while Luca and other guards were responsible for the training of the young slaves, and even Pandora was left in the mansion.
Khloe, on the other hand, is hidden in the shadows, and Kratos, who once served as the king of agents "Hades", knows that in order for the third prince Arthur Evans to climb to the peak of royal power, one hand must hold a dark sword full of poison.
The four hooves of the war pig were deep in the earth, and after a short period of accumulation, they suddenly exploded, and their huge bodies rushed out of the plains.
According to the instructions of the map, Kratos made the war pigs run in a straight line all the way, all obstacles were directly smashed by the indestructible collision angle, and by the time the sun went down, they had already covered a small half of the Mesodas Plain.
"My lord, the situation is a little wrong, we are definitely taking the nearest route, but we have not seen any trace of the others at all, are they really still hiding in the city and not leaving?"
Kratos clasped his hands on his chest and stood straight above the head of the galloping war pig, and after listening to Assas's words, he couldn't help but raise his head and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid we may not take the fastest shortcut!"
