Theseus was a little confused. A few years ago, this strange old man became neighbors with them. And then before you know it, you become his teacher. He was surprised to find that this old man, who looked like a vagabond, actually had extremely erudite knowledge and excellent martial arts.

Theseus had been studying with the old man for several years. Although he had never used it, he had seen the soldiers around him train. In his senses, five of those soldiers and one of them couldn't beat him. He knew that he had met a master, so he studied extremely hard. At the same time, he also has a lot of respect for the elderly. Although the old man always spoke in a distracted manner, there was some ambiguity. But Theseus already considered him a relative.

"Although I don't know what you mean by the guidance of fate. But I still have to say that I don't believe in gods. Everything I have is my own hands. Moreover, I already have a teacher. He was a very good teacher. Also, who are you, you can't just break into my home. Say something inexplicable to my mother. ”

Theseus was clearly not a believer, and even had some hostility to the gods. Lin Xuan glanced at the old man slightly. I saw that the other party's face was also a little unbearable. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Haha, interesting. Do you think you have earned everything you have? This is understandable. But as far as I know, your father and mother were devout believers. Even if you don't believe in gods, you won't be hostile. ”

"The gods have never helped us to do anything, everything we have has been bought with our own hands. Why should I believe in those ethereal beings? ”

"Hehe, it seems that it is not without reason that he chose you as a disciple. How about the old man, your apprentice doesn't seem to want to appreciate it. Why don't I help you persuade him? Lin Xuan looked at the old man behind Theseus with a playful expression.

The old man's brows furrowed. He realized that he couldn't see the human clearly. Although it looks like an ordinary human, it has a vague feeling. It's as if what you're seeing isn't real.

It was unbelievable to him. You must know that there are certainly beings stronger than him in this world. But the existence that he can't see through is too strange. And there is a faint threat in this guy's words. Seems to know who he really is.

The scruffy old man is undoubtedly Zeus, the king of the gods. When he learns that Hyperion wants to free the Titans. He chose a spokesman in the world, and wanted to train him to lead the Greek people against the army of Hyperion.

Zeus strictly adhered to the system of the gods, and mortal threats were dealt with by mortals. Even if he went down to cultivate Theseus, he appeared as a mortal. Li Xuan has always been a little strange about this.

In the original book, Zeus was unusually harsh in preventing the Greek gods from helping Theseus. Even killed Hercules for this. This is quite strange, because even if the heavenly rules are strict, they have set it. You don't want to kill your own child for the sake of a mortal. But that's exactly what Zeus is doing.

The original plot can be said to be that the screenwriter forcibly increased the role of the protagonist. Otherwise, Zeus would have turned to ashes with a single breath. How can there be a plot behind. But in reality, Lin Xuan was quite curious. It's just that because there are no corresponding clues, Lin Xuan can't figure out why.

Zeus frowned, but finally spoke.

"Theseus, help your mother prepare dinner. I'll have a good talk with this gentleman. ”

Theseus hesitated, but eventually left. Only Lin Xuan and Zeus were left in the room.

"Who are you, young man?"

"Young people? It's a name I haven't seen in a long time. Normally, that's what I call people. But it doesn't matter, in front of you, I can afford to be a young man. Honestly, it makes me feel good. ”

"Are you a newborn deity? Why don't I know? ”

"Haha, dear Lord Zeus. You are the king of the gods. But don't you know where this title came about? ”

Zeus was silent. There is no doubt that the title of god-king is actually a self-appointed Greek god. This made him mistake Lin Xuan for the existence of other gods. He knew that there were other gods in this world. But they are on another continent, and there is little communication between the different gods. There have been a few wars.

"What do you want?"

"I want a deal."

"Theseus?"

"Hehe, okay. Theseus, I admit, was just a joke. Just a mortal. It's not enough for us to use as chips. My choice of Theseus was just an indication of my attitude.

"What does this mean?"

"At least that means I didn't choose the Hyperion side. That is to say, between the gods and the Titans, I chose the gods. Isn't that sincerity? ”

The word Titan apparently irritated Zeus. He was visibly excited. There was even an unnatural hint of divine prestige on his body. But then he forcibly retracted it.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I'm sure you heard that. Of course, this is a serious issue, and we should give each other time. Now we should come and have a dinner. Theseus's mother, however, took out the wild boar meat that she was reluctant to eat and made dinner. Don't you want to taste it? ”

When Theseus and his mother came out of the present, they felt that the atmosphere between the old man and the outsider was a little strange. But that atmosphere was gone in a flash. The two quickly returned to normal.

You can imagine what kind of dinner was in this era. At least Lin Xuan couldn't bear it. Fortunately, he has reached the point where he does not need to eat. Eating is just a meaning. And at the dinner table, the old man also spoke.

"Theseus, the two of us just talked a little. This distant traveler was a very learned adventurer. I feel like you can learn a lot of different things from him. So, what do you think? ”

"Have you been to many places?"

"Very much. I've seen countless people, landscapes, stories, and even worlds that you can't imagine. ”

At this time, Theseus was still a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he was born in a poor family, under the guidance of Zeus, his horizons were far from being comparable to ordinary people in this world. He didn't live a lifeless life like those numb slaves. In his heart, there is a flame of ambition. He craves adventure, he wants to change the status quo, he wants a different life.

"Can you tell us your story?" Theseus said with some excitement.

"Of course, I have a lot of stories, depending on which one you want to hear."

The two talked happily, while Zeus on the side was a little dark-faced. He began to feel like something of himself had been snatched away.
