Chapter 52: Minoan Pier
A chill that reached the brain woke up Mo Jiu, Jiu'er touched her slippery cheeks, slowly opened her eyes, and a row of immature little faces above her head stared at Jiu'er tightly, looking at it condescendingly like a rare animal.
Mo Jiu quickly got up from the ground, a slightly older teenager, wearing a short robe similar to the ancient Greek style, with his upper body exposed, and a clay pot in his hand.
Seeing the young man's evil smile, Jiu'er immediately understood that it must have been the young man who splashed water on his face.
Without thinking about it, Yi Jiu'er's violent temper immediately asked, "Boy, did you splash me with water?" Jiu'er clenched his fists, he was ready to fight, he was bullied when he first arrived, is this worth it? How can I say that I am also a "crossing sister" who has traveled through the third world and read countless people.
"What? Listen to your tone of blame for me? I was the one who woke you up, and you should thank me. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy stared at Jiu'er.
Jiu'er gritted her teeth, and was angry in her heart: Is the boy of this era so rude, there are thousands of ways to save people, you don't have to splash water all over your face, you can take a gentle way to wake yourself up, such as pinching people, slapping your chest, or even shouting handsome guys, you may wake up, this nasty boy, this girl remembers you!
"Seeing that you are not very old, it just so happens that this prince needs an attendant, so you can be my attendant for a few days." It turned out to be a prince, no wonder he was so domineering.
"Well, why do you have so many children with a prince?"
It is normal for a prince to travel with a group of retinues, but it is really rare to bring a group of children of about ten years old to act as attendants like this.
"Do you think I'm willing? If it weren't for King Minos's child sacrifice, I would have come to this place and tell you that I am a prince of Athens, and I have come to deliver our sacrifice at the behest of my father, and you are responsible for taking care of them before the king offers the child sacrifice, and it is a trouble to take care of them with a group of children who have not dried up. The prince pouted, it seemed that he was really annoyed by the children, but the children did not mind the prince's attitude, and still ran around the prince, frolicking.
While the prince was anxious, Jiu'er's mind spun rapidly, and in a moment, he figured out the situation in front of him.
This time, Mary sent Jiu'er to the Minoan kingdom of Crete in 1500 BC, where the king is said to be Minos, the son of Zeus, the father of all gods, and Europa, the princess of Phoenicia, who built the Minoan labyrinth.
It is said that there are more than 1,700 individual rooms in the entire palace, and once you enter the palace, you will never be able to get out of the labyrinth without anyone leading the way.
Minostaus was a monster and demon through and through, he was extremely strict with food, and must be a virgin or a virgin under the age of ten, because of his demonic hobby, the Minoan kingdom constantly demanded children from his subjects, and if anyone disobeyed, he would definitely use force.
The seven pairs of boys and girls around him are the sacrifices brought by Prince Theseus of Athens for the Minotaur, this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy seems to be Theseus, the legendary Theseus is very handsome and heroic, although the prince in front of him is quite good-eyed, but there is still a certain gap with the legend, it seems that the legend is the legend, and most of the people will be disappointed when it is the turn of reality, Mo Jiu shook his head and smiled.
"Prince Theseus, I won't go with you, you see that if I follow you as a virgin, I am still a little older, if I follow you as an attendant, I am still a woman, how inconvenient, so thank the prince for saving his life, and say goodbye to the prince below."
Mo Jiu didn't want to meet any minotaurs with Theseus, so it was important to do his own private business.
"This king saved you, that is, he wants you to go to the palace of Minos with this king, otherwise why should I save you?"
What a domineering!
Jiu'er raised her head and glanced at the prince, she was more domineering than Mo Jiu, the kid was a little more tender, Jiu'er raised her delicate "pretty face", the tip of her nose was about to poke into the sky, and her provocative gaze even suppressed the prince's momentum in an instant: "Who wants you to save me, am I begging you?" I wanted to sleep more, but I was woken up by you, an eventful prince. β
Prince Theseus's face turned white with anger, and he drew his sword and was about to stab Jiu'er.
Jiu'er looked at Theseus in anger with disdain, turned her face a little away and looked at a beautiful little girl beside her and said, "Sister tells you that a man like this, who does things with women at every turn, will be beaten by our women one day sooner or later." The little girl's eyes flashed and she smiled mischievously, as if she understood.
"You're a woman?!" There was an exclamation from Prince Theseus.
Mo Jiu was startled, and reflexively replied: "Right?!" "It's strange, men and women can't tell the difference between a prince and a prince, Mo Jiu pouted with disdain again, can't he be a stupid prince?
"Who believes? Look at you black, what woman can be so black? Don't pretend to me, it's not awkward for a man and a girl to talk femininely! β
My Heavenly King!
Mo Jiu directly said a hateful word, he really regarded himself as a man, the reason was that he was dark, and his complexion was not easy to tan, why did Minos not have dark skin again? If a person is unlucky, he can't get rid of the bad luck by turning on the crossing motor.
It seemed that it was useless to explain to him, Jiu'er decided to recite the invisibility spell and leave, not knowing if the spell was good or not.
"Prince! Now that we've found the obsidian, let's move on. β
A figure stepped a few steps behind a palm tree in the distance. When this person approached, Mo Jiu saw his face clearly, and immediately exclaimed, "Xuan Ye!? β
Why did this kid come with him again, and he still wore a wig that was shoulder-length, and he found a "job" so quickly, it seems that he should be the prince's guard, and Mo Jiu has several self-explanations in his heart.
After taking a few steps and grabbing "Xuanye"'s hand, the kid actually threw Jiu'er's hand to the side.
"Who? How dare you do this... This guard is unreasonable. "A posture of six relatives who don't recognize him, this kid is like this, Jiu'er knows him too well, once it comes to his safety, he pretends not to know Jiu'er, Mo Jiu pouted at him and scolded: Coward.
"This is the squire I just received, and we have too few people to enter the Minoan Palace this time, so let him be a helper. It's good to take care of these boys. Prince Theseus explained.
"Okay, you can take it if you want, clumsy, and can't count on him, how can this person speak softly, like a woman."
What does this mean? Xuanye, this kid really doesn't know himself? Even if he is tanned, he should be able to see whether it is a man or a woman, and Mo Jiubai is puzzled by Xuanye's performance.
Looking at Xuan Ye in front of him helplessly, the waterfall-like "wig" was draped straight behind his head, two sword-shaped eyebrows, long black eyelashes, and a pair of blue eyes?
He's not Genno!
But it is impossible for there to be two people in the world who look so similar, except for the color of his eyes, which is almost exactly the same as Xuanye, he is Xuanye's previous life? has a domineering face in her charm, which is very different from the temperament of that coward.
"Gone, what kind of squire is this? Dumbfounded? "Xuanye" said loudly to Jiu'er.
Mo Jiu glared at him fiercely, and just wanted to recite the spell "Escape", when he suddenly remembered that the palace logo of Minos recorded in the history books was the mark of the double axe pattern, and there must be someone with the double axe mark, so follow this Theseus and "Xuanye" into the palace together.
Following behind Prince Theseus, seven pairs of boys around him frolicked from time to time, causing the two teenagers to frown, what can the two of them do with children? The naΓ―ve child must have been tricked and did not yet know the danger he would face next.
But fortunately, the historical records record that Prince Theseus killed the minotaur with the help of Princess Minos, rescued the boys, and took the princess away, and the ending was quite perfect.
In this way, it seems that this prince of Theseus is not useless, let this prince take him to see this mysterious palace of Minos, Jiu'er reverie all the way, excited like a child who goes on a study tour.
"What's your name?" "Xuanye" asked Jiu'er.
"My name is Mo Jiu."
"Okay, I thought you had to take a woman's name? I said Mo Jiu, can't you talk like a normal man? "This "Xuanye" is as annoying as that coward.
"Can't you even tell I'm a woman?" Jiu'er shouted angrily.
Prince Theseus and "Xuanye" looked at Jiu'er in unison, and then looked at each other and laughed.
"Mo Jiu, apart from this name, you really look like a woman."
Jiu'er smiled bitterly, and then strode forward, not guilty of being angry with the two ancients, male and female at will.
But when it comes to her own male and female name, Jiu'er thinks of her adoptive parents who she hasn't seen for a long time, she started to travel the world under the ruthless "abandonment" of her adoptive parents, and her adoptive parents are old, they want to see more of the world in their lifetime, Mo Jiu understands their thoughts, but she always has to wait for her to return home and explain it in person.
Regarding the name of his "Mo Jiu", in addition to the innate nine-character pattern in the palm, in fact, twenty years ago, the adoptive parents found that next to the lapis lazuli, Jiu'er was naked, there was a flesh and blood carnelian, and the carnelian was clearly printed with a "nine" character, and the adoptive father's surname was "Mo", so he named himself "Mo Jiu", unfortunately the carnelian that "came into the world" with himself, Jiu'er had never seen it, and the adoptive mother said that it was lost on the way home from the Nujiang River.
I don't know where the two old men are traveling now, and I don't know when they will meet again, and even Jiu'er sometimes wonders if the various things that have happened recently are foreseen by the adoptive parents.
"Heknus, do you want to buy a squire's clothes for Mo Jiu, his outfit is too eye-catching." Prince Theseus asked the little squire.
Mo Jiu looked down at his clothes, the armor he wore on the Granicas River had been sucked away by the strong suction of the empty door, and now Jiu'er was only wearing a short Greek robe, but he still had shin guards tied to his legs, no wonder Prince Theseus recognized himself as a man, and his current clothes were somewhat male.
"Then buy him a squire uniform, there are not many copper coins brought, buy a cheaper one." "Xuanye" looked at Prince Theseus and said, this Theseus is quite democratic, and he has to follow the advice of the attendant when buying a dress, Jiu'er glanced at Heknus who looked like Xuanye, who was also an attendant, and Theseus yelled at her Mo Jiu.
