To the north of Hera's mansion is a large market, which is bustling with people all day long. Merchants, street vendors, and all sorts of people trade here.

Alice was standing under a column at the edge of the square, quietly watching Hera haggle with a vendor over the taste of passion fruit in baskets. The cold autumn sun didn't stop Alice's curiosity, and she was engrossed and hungry for the sights and sounds of this unique Nordic city. Alice stared unabashedly at everyone she saw, just as everyone in front of her stared curiously at the silver-haired girl.

After a scuffle, Hera finally finished her deal, and she patted the girl on the shoulder, "If this young man can really pour this out of the sea, then I will be rich for the rest of my life." With that, she smiled and showed Alice the basket, not caring if Alice could tell the true price of the basket.

"Come on," he said, "I'll show you something." ”

The two men made their way through the crowd and walked in the direction of Piazza della Signoria. Then they sat down on a bench near the gazebo and watched the bustling crowd of pedestrians. Most of the people here are well-dressed, with the occasional few people dressed in fancy clothes.

"Who are these people?" Alice asked.

"Chaebol," replied Hera, "it's their professional attire so they can recognize each other, but it serves another purpose, and that's to make us recognize them too!" ”

Alice smiled puzzled.

"It's a good place, isn't it?" Hera continued, "It's full of life! ”

"yes."

"But it's not always like that here," Hera paused, "I learned here that my father was killed, when I was only twenty years old," she said, closing her eyes and soaking in the memories, "but looking back now, it's full of life, and though it's a little melancholy, it's a great relief to see that the old days have faded." She looked at Alice earnestly.

"Whoever wants to be a king, or who has the qualifications to be a king, has the ups and downs of his life, so ......" Hera was silent, and then said, "Alice, you can only endure it, endure the pain it imposes on you, you watch it happen, and your only hope is to let it end as soon as possible, oh, it's ironic, but that's life." ”

Hera and Alice sat in silence for a while on a stool, Hera looked at the scenery around her, and Alice noticed that she seemed to be wary of something, she stared straight at a place in the crowd, black uniform, clothes that did not fit this era, could it be possible! Alice quickly lowered her head, her abnormal behavior Hera saw in her eyes, and she didn't say anything.

"Alright," Hera said, standing up, "it's time to go home." ”

The two of them crossed the square again and walked back down the main road to the mansion. Hera was well acquainted with the path, and he skillfully led Alice east and then to the north of the palace, without even looking back.

The pedestrians on the street became scarcer, and soon there were only the two of them left.

At this time, Hera suddenly heard a certain sound, she quickly turned her head and jumped back, and Fei also blocked Alice with the basket, and in this moment of lightning, a flying knife went straight into the basket!

Less than a second later, someone kicked Hera in the lower abdomen, causing him to stagger backwards, crashing into a stone wall behind him.

At the same time, Alice reacted immediately, and she immediately stood between Hera and the attacker, a redhead who went to work, and she was very similar to Alice.

"It's a clone." Alice stepped forward and let Hera stand behind her, "Leave it to me." Immediately after that, a handful of Toyo* appeared in Alice's hand.

The two girls engage in a fight, their skills dancing like a slow temptation on the surface, but at the first chance they are vicious and serpent-like to attack each other. Their boxing skills are like autumn wind and falling leaves, and their legs and feet are so fast that even Hera can hardly keep up with their movements.

Seeing Alice gradually falling into the wind, Hera hurriedly rushed forward, she picked up the broom on the side and smashed it on the red-haired girl's head.

This seemed to smash her into a daze, and when she saw this, Alice immediately rushed forward!

"Alice! Be careful! Hera yelled.

The red-haired girl regained her footing, then pulled out a short knife from her waist and stabbed Alice! They both fell to the ground, wrestling like two mad cats on the dusty street. Their limbs were so fast that Hera couldn't tell who was who if it weren't for their color.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came out, and the attacker suddenly broke away from the warband, and a hole appeared in her chest. She staggered a few steps, then fell to her knees, motionless, not pretending this time.

Hera looked around nervously, and she saw Luna standing on the roof on the other side.

Hera picked Alice up, "Let's go!" She gritted her teeth and uttered the words.

Luna jumped off the wall and beckoned to the two of them, and in Luna's direction, they came to the carriage around the corner, where Luna drove the horse in front of them, and the group quickly left.

On the way back to the mansion, Luna tells Hera that her family is okay, Hera breathes a sigh of relief, and Alice on the side explains all this, Hera can't help but blame herself a little, if she had given Alice a chance beforehand, she must have told the story a long time ago.

So Hera patiently listened to Alice's story.

"Lady Hera, I won't tell you that I am your descendant, and your daughter Valkyrie." Alice explained, "I'm from the future, and I'm coming back this time mainly to know your secrets."

"Leave that alone," Hera interrupted, "who are those people?" ”

"Those are people of our time, and they are our enemies." Alice paused, "To tell you the truth, Luna and I are both clones, that is, people created with a technology that can replicate people, and they do not reproduce normally through humans. She choked up, "In our day, there was a man named Adolf who used you famous warriors in history to create a batch of clones, and he tried to use them to win a scavenger operation?" ”

"Scavengers?" Hera frowned and asked, "What's that?" ”

Alice pointed to her head, "It's a team of four people, and then put them on an island to kill each other, and if you win this game, you can get a treasure," she said solemnly, "that treasure can destroy all humans." ”

"Destroying humanity?" Hera's face became heavy, and she subconsciously added a whip to the horse.

Laos was already waiting for them at home, and she was busy lighting a fire when the carriage arrived. Raos was taken aback by the sound of the horse's hooves, and she quickly stood up, only to see Hera, Luna, and Alice rushing into the room in a hurry, quickly closing the windows and closing the blinds. Then Hera turned to her husband:

"Go pack your bags. They were changing carriages for horses. ”

"What......"

"I'll send ......," Luna interjected before Hera could finish, "I'll follow them." ”

"What?" Laos asked.

Hera explained, "You have to spend the night with the Achilles family tonight. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"A misunderstanding...... bar. Hera said.

Raos looked at Alice in amazement, but Alice lowered her eyes guiltily because she had involved the family in her own trouble.

"Please give me a few minutes." Laos said.

A moment later, Laos boarded the carriage with the children, and Hera stood at the door of the carriage, silently staring at his wife. They all wanted to say something, but they didn't say it.

Hera stepped back, and Alice nodded at Luna.

As soon as Lunaf pulled the reins, he drove the carriage into the twilight.

Hepa stretched out his hand to say goodbye to them, and then, before the carriage could be out of sight, the two returned to the mansion and locked the gate.

Hera and Alice sat face to face on the bench in front of the fire, and they waited patiently.

"When I fought for the first time, it was the assassination of Nemia, and at that time I was driven by revenge, and I felt that I was like blood and blood, and I didn't listen to my master's dissuasion at that time, and I should have lost a leg for this," Hera said to Alice, "Later, I joined the army, conquered countless continents, and became a veritable king, the king of Zeus, which was a good thing, but I was careful to become a king, and after another sudden provocation, I killed my own sister, my lover, and my children." ”

Speaking of this, Hera paused thoughtfully, "At that time, the seeds of hatred sprouted again in my heart, I took up the banner of crusade, and took revenge on the gods, when I found that I had woken up and was wrong, I killed Poseidon, the world was flooded by the sea, I killed Hades, and the souls of the world were never redeemed again, and after killing Apollo, the world no longer had the warmth of light...... When I was about to kill Zeus, I woke up, I looked at the dark world of the ocean outside, I understood, if this continues, there will be no tomorrow in the human world, I let Zeus go, and after giving him the golden apple in my body, I went into hiding. ”

"Did anyone organize you in this process?" Alice asked.

"Yes, Charon," Hera was silent again, "but also by my hands, though it was when I cleared my mind and wept. After a moment, she continued, "Sometimes we think we are saving the world from fire and water, and when we seem to think that we are only doing things with our own minds, then we will only destroy the world. ”

Alice stared at the fire and fell into deep thought. It seems that these few words have set aside a new future for her, "If you say that, I have a long way to go." Eventually, she muttered.

"Remember what I say and don't go down the wrong path like I did."

Alice took a deep breath and stood up. A determined determination appeared on her face, and she looked at Hera and nodded. Seeing this, Hera also patted the girl's shoulder approvingly.

"Let's go get some rest." Hera said.

Alice bowed slightly, then left the room.
