Chapter 9: Perseus

The origins of Perseus, whether it is Matthew or Olga Marie, or the most ignorant of all, Rika Fujimaru are well aware.

I can't think about it.

Because he is one of the most famous heroes in ancient Greek myths and legends, even if all the heroes in myths and legends and historical stories are combined to make a ranking, his popularity is among the best and belongs to the highest level.

The son of Zeus and the princess of Agurts.

A brave man who is favored by many gods.

He is famous for killing Medusa, the most fierce Gorgon monster.

Killed the sea monster sent by the sea god and saved the princess of the Ethiopian kingdom, Andromeda, and married the latter.

Perseus and Andromeda had six sons and two daughters, each of whom was very good.

The eldest son succeeded to the throne of Ethiopia, the last son succeeded to the throne of Corinth, and the other four sons also established their own city-states, including the famous Mycenae and Nemeia.

Several sons of achievement made Perseus the most famous man, the greatest hero, and the most powerful king in the Peloponnese. Even the Persians, who later built a huge empire, revered Perseus as their ancestor, and the word "Persia" is derived from the name "Perseus".

Because of this great achievement, after the death of Perseus, Zeus sent him to heaven to become the "Perseus Constellation", his wife Andromeda became the "Andromeda", and his father-in-law and mother-in-law Kerpheus and Cassiopeia became the "Immortal Constellation" and "Cassiopeia" respectively.

With such a large card, he is the only one in the history of Greece.

Olga Marie had guessed Caster's real name, but they never imagined that it would be such a big hero.

At this moment, they all understood why they didn't introduce themselves beforehand. Because it's so famous, there's no need for it.

And the reason for the sentence "it's okay" is also clearly explained, he is the son of Zeus, a demigod with the blood of the main god.

Thunder and lightning are the power of Zeus, and Perseus, as his son, obviously inherited this part of the ability, not only can use thunder and lightning, but also has a high resistance to lightning. So after taking so many hits, the injuries on my body were not serious.

"Well, why are you Caster? I'm not doubting your identity, but I just find it strange that according to mythology, you are a good warrior, but there is no record of magic. You should be more suitable for Lancer or Rider than Caster. ”

It was Olga Marie who asked the question. For this day, she has done enough homework about Heroic Spirits and Servants, which is why she feels confused.

I don't know the exact answer, but I suspect there are two main reasons. First, although I have always fought as a warrior, I am not ignorant of magic. Anyway, I'm a son of the gods, and I have a natural advantage in this regard. To put it mildly, I can unleash powerful magic tricks when I read a magic book at me. ”

"Indeed."

For this, Olga Marie has no doubts.

Demigods are naturally powerful and have a much higher starting point than ordinary people.

The most typical example is the two heroes in the Trojan War, Achilles and Hector, the former is one of the few strongest demigods, and the latter is the pinnacle of human heroes. Hector tried his best and tried his best, but he could not offset the innate gap, and he was completely defeated and died.

"What about the second point?"

"I'm the last servant to be summoned."

"......" Olga Marie was momentarily speechless.

It's really too realistic to be realistic. The casts for the Holy Grail War are set, with the regular Seven Horsemen, Saber (Swordsman), Archer (Archer), Lancer (Spearman), Rider (Cavalry), Caster (Magician), Assassin (Berserker, Ahem, Assassin), Berserker (Berserker).

A job agency corresponds to a heroic spirit, first come, first served, and the last one to arrive is not picked. By the time Perseus was summoned, the other six positions had already been occupied.

"I also want to be Lancer, so that I can use my combat power even more, who knew that Lancer was taken by Medusa, and even my treasure went to her side - I don't know why."

The treasure is the "scythe of the snake hunt", the crystallization of the sublimation of the heroic deeds, and the biggest trump card of the servant.

"Maybe the karma between you is too deep, after all, you are carrying her head to become a hero, and her head has always been with you."

Olga Marie could only think of such an explanation, after all, the existence of the Heroic Spirit was too mysterious, and there were too many unknowns.

"But I always felt that Medusa was not as powerful as the myth suggests."

"Not really, it's far from it. If it was Medusa in life, we would not be able to fight her at all, there was only a dead end. ”

"By the way, you killed her by sneaking up while she was asleep."

"Actually, it's not a sneak attack, she found out about my existence very early."

"And how are you ......?"

"It must have been you who were stronger in your lifetime and defeated Miss Medusa head-on."

Matthew looked at Perseus in admiration, and looked at the latter with embarrassment.

"No, I wasn't strong at all, and the first time I saw her, I knew that this was definitely an enemy I could deal with. I was able to kill Medusa because the magic bag, one of the treasures given to me by the gods, had a special power to reverse Medusa's attack on me, and I took the opportunity to kill her. Until the end, my legs were shaking, which is why she called me a coward. ”

Matthew: "......"

Rikkata: "......"

Olga Marie: "......"

Although I know that there are many fictional distortions in myths and legends, I didn't expect it to be so bad.

Feeling the strange gazes of the three, Perseus smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry to disappoint you." This is the real me, not a great hero, not so strong, if there are any advantages, probably only luck is better. ”

"I don't think so." Ritsuka retorted, "Maybe that's true at first, but the later merit is definitely not just luck. The courage shown in the face of betrayal, and the education of children, these are not explained by luck. And, moreover...... Miss Medusa finally acknowledges your growth and considers you a true hero. ”

"......," Perseus smiled dumbly, "I can't see that you're quite good at comforting, young man." ”

"No, not comfort, I really think so."

Seeing that Rikka was trying so hard to distinguish, Perseus reached out and patted his head, his pale golden eyes narrowing slightly.

"Whether it's or not, thank you. As long as you keep such a sincere and pure heart, you may really be able to save the world. ”

PS: Perseus Lucky A, Lancer is also stress-free, Lucky A can really do whatever he wants.

PS2: In the last book, there were 300 rounds of the battle between Perseus and Medusa, which was made up by a group of moon chefs who had nothing to do with their brains, and this is the original mushroom design, so correct it.
