Chapter 414: Hello Theseus
As early as the dawn of humans and beasts, there was already a powerful group of life in this world. They have great power, endless lives. They were born to dominate the world.
What can be obtained too easily is always impossible to cherish. It's like their near-immortal life. They began to kill each other. In fact, it's the only thing they can do. Because it's just so boring.
The war went on for an endless period of time, and finally the winner was decided. In this battle, there was a victor who called himself the gods. The side known as the Titans was permanently sealed in the Hell Mountain.
The world was not affected by the war of the gods. It's still in motion. Until the birth of the human beast, the world entered a new era, the age of mankind.
Human civilization is developing rapidly. They hunted, planted, and lived in groups. Then the language was invented, the written word, and then it began to form its own civilization. Villages, towns, and finally the concept of the state emerged.
The gods are selfish, and they kill each other for their own sake. Ended his own era with his own hands. But when human civilization appeared, the world understood what selfishness is.
Since the dawn of mankind, war has been an eternal theme. Death and carnage pervade every corner of the world. Territory, food, faith, women. All the reasons can be used to wage war. The flames of war ravaged this nascent civilization. Those at the bottom of the population can only live by faith.
Those lonely gods once appeared briefly in front of humans. Then it was believed and enshrined by mortals. They put all their hopes in the gods. Hunger, sickness, pain, all calamities are prayed to the gods. In order for humanity to understand that survival depends on itself. The gods made a pact that no god could help humanity with divine powers.
Hyperion is the outlier of all. He hated the gods. He used to pray for the help of the gods like the rest of the world. However, the end result was that he watched his wife and children die of the disease. As the king of Heraclion, the most powerful kingdom in the world. Hyperion is insane, and he vows to overthrow the world of the gods.
Of course, this is just a mere mortal's thought. In fact, he didn't even know where the world of the gods was. But he found some kind of clue through some classics. He found a clue to the gods' rivals, the Titans.
If you want to kill the gods, you can only use the power of the Titans at the same level as them. Hyperion decides to release the Titans. He wants to destroy the world that is making him miserable.
This is a typical Hollywood-type villain. Decide to destroy the world because of the pain of one man. It seems that he is the only one in this world who suffers the most, and only he is hurt. It seems that the whole world owes him. Most of the time, the movie gives him a hurtful background, just to make the whole character three-dimensional contradictory. But in fact, it just created one character after another that is more disgusting than a pure villain.
He used his own injury as an excuse and used his wife and children as a cover to hurt others unscrupulously. He destroyed one city-state after another, with an ancient heritage. Just to search for clues to free the Titans. He spread the war to the whole world.
In this desolate world, a lone traveler walks alone in the desolate wilderness. He was dressed in a simple linen robe. With a hood that covers his face. But from the little skin that leaked out, it was still visible, it was a yellow-skinned male. He is not very tall, but he is extremely well-proportioned. The proportions of the whole can even give birth to a sense of perfection.
This is the Gulf Peninsula of Copos. Affiliated with a Greek city-state. The word barren is not enough to describe this place. As far as the eye can see, you can't even see the land. There are steep stone cliffs all over the place. On some of the platforms above the cliff, there are some sparsely populated houses. Small villages are formed.
Lin Xuan was alone, slowly strolling on the stone steps mined by manpower. Desolation, barrenness, roughness, and even barbarism pervade his perspective. The development of this world is extremely uneven.
Because of the war, they developed metal smelting. Even sharp steel swords have been forged. Exquisite chain mail. But the use of textiles is simply miserable. In fact, in Lin Xuan's opinion, they didn't form the concept of clothes at all. For all were a linen robe wrapped around their bodies. At most, the sleeves are separated.
In contrast, although Lin Xuan was also wearing a linen robe. But the workmanship is exquisite. For these Greeks it is simply unimaginable.
Along the way, there are some patrolling soldiers who swim to meet. But not only did no one come forward to interrogate them. All the soldiers avoided Lin Xuan with extreme care, and even performed all kinds of messy etiquette to him. The exchange of information in this day and age is extremely difficult. Most soldiers, apart from their immediate superiors, probably have never seen a real nobleman at all. However, the exquisite linen robe still made them take it for granted that Lin Xuan was a certain nobleman. With their barren imagination. It is impossible to imagine that anyone but the nobility could afford to wear such fine clothes.
Lin Xuan ignored the begging figures around him, as well as the prostitutes who kept flattering him, and just walked through the small village by himself and walked to a family on the edge.
An old woman stood up in some horror.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" The young man in front of him exuded the aura of a superior person, which frightened the old woman.
"Theseus."
"He went out to chop wood. Soon back, though. I am his mother, do you have anything to do with him? My lord. ”
"I'm not an adult. I'm just a traveler. Guided by fate, come here to meet Theseus. ”
Lin Xuan didn't explain too much, because at this time, the door opened. A handsome, strong young man walked in. Behind him was a scruffy, homeless old man.
"There's a guest at home. Mom, who is this? ”
"A traveler from afar is looking for you." The old woman's words left Theseus a little confused. His mother was a prostitute by origin, so Theseus was the lowest class of people of his time. He didn't even have any friends, because everyone disdained to associate with him. How could a traveler from afar come looking for him?
And what he didn't notice was that the old man behind him was after hearing Lin Xuan looking for Theseus. His eyes changed slightly, but then he returned to that listless expression.
This subtle movement couldn't escape Lin Xuan's eyes now. He smiled and said.
"Hello Theseus, I am a traveler from afar. I was guided by fate to find you. Would you like to be my disciple? ”
As soon as the words came out, the face of the old man behind him changed greatly.
