Chapter 140: Flying Wings

The breeze was gentle, the white clouds were swirling, and the warm sunlight wrapped the whole body like warm clothes. Looking down, the rolling hills, clear lakes, winding streams, and verdant forests on the ground are all in full view, like a slowly unfolding landscape map, and like a lifelike model on the sand table, at the mercy of manipulation. As for the pedestrians on the road, they have long since lost their traces.

This kind of condescending pleasure made Ye Ye couldn't help but be intoxicated, behind him, a pair of sharp wings that flashed with cold light like metal casting were proudly stretched, and with a sudden vibrate, the reverse force that came made Ye Ye glide forward like a bird for more than twenty meters. When the fierce wind in the sky approached him, it was absorbed by a layer of power that could not be seen by the naked eye and turned into a breeze, and most of the force became the driving force of flight.

Ye Ye constantly changed the posture of flying, rushing forward, backward, flipping, refracting, maneuvering... The smooth flight movements were used on him as freely as flowing water, and the sound of heartfelt laughter could not help but sound in the air, but it was swallowed up by the surrounding wind after it spread a little farther. Although the successful production of flying wings was only a few days, with the master's ability to control the body, Ye Ye skipped the learning period and proficiency period at the speed of light with just a little experiment, and directly entered the point of perfection.

Soaring into the sky is a desire and reverie that almost every human being has, and Ye Ye is naturally no exception. Unlike flying in the higher stratosphere in an airplane, and flying at a faster speed in the canopy of a tree, this feeling of freedom from all restraints brought about by flying in the air with the strength of one person is a supreme spiritual pleasure. Before Ye Ye encountered the system, he once saw a video on the Internet, which was a video of an old man driving a self-made one-man aircraft similar to Iron Man that he had spent decades driving freely at high altitude.

"Phew, it's good that the Temple of Athena receives most of that witch's potions, otherwise I don't know when I want to fly."

After a long time, Ye Ye stopped flying fancy and muttered to himself happily, then flapped his wings and flew towards the next destination.

After killing Miska, Ye Ye finally got a message after many inquiries, although the witch had already been executed by the Athena Temple, many of the potion formulas she left behind fell into the hands of the Athena Temple.

As the goddess of wisdom, Athena not only had a strong fighting power, but also had a deep control over agriculture, horticulture, textiles, arts, crafts, and other fields. Therefore, the potion recipe left by the witch was not rejected by the people of the Temple of Athena, on the contrary, it was used on the warriors of the temple more than ten years ago, but it was generally forbidden to go out.

After knowing the news, Ye Ye simply sent Mysterka's head to the Athena Temple through some means, in exchange for the wind spirit ointment he needed. For the high priest of the temple, although the goddess let go of this kraken who dared to violate Athens, it does not mean that it has eliminated the serious crimes it committed, but the goddess is inconvenient to kill the sea emperor because of the face of the sea emperor.

As for the wind spirit ointment that Ye Ye asked for, it was a magical and precious potion for ordinary people, but it was just a slightly cherished consumable for the huge Athena Temple, so the high priest gave it very happily.

Even the high priest thought about wooing Ye Ye, the temple did not exclude male warriors, and even Athena herself was the guardian of many heroes, and a person who could kill a demigod - even a demigod after being severely injured by the goddess must be a powerful warrior. It's just that after thinking about it, the high priest still dispelled this idea, after all, the goddess let Mistaka go just because she didn't want to have a grudge with Poseidon, if Ye Ye was returned to the temple, wouldn't she take this matter back? While the Lord of the Seas may not have to turn against the powerful goddess of wisdom for the sake of an inconspicuous son, the High Priest, who is a believer in the gods, cannot fail to consider this.

And after getting this key potion, all the preconditions for flying wings have been completed, although there are some twists and turns in the manufacturing, Ye Ye still made this magic prop that can make people fly according to the map.

After achieving his goal, Ye Ye immediately left Athens without the slightest delay, not to mention the possible revenge that Poseidon might follow, in case the goddess of wisdom became interested in him, the warrior who slew the kraken, it would be enough to make his head big, so it was better to slip away early.

With freshly baked wings on his back, Ye Ye set off again, and he was in a hurry to get to his destination, the Elidanus River, and he didn't have the interest to linger when he passed by another famous Greek city-state, Thebes, but hurriedly flew over the city.

As he broke away from the Attica Peninsula, Ye Ye gradually advanced towards the northwest of Greece during the flight, crossing the boundary and entering the Aetolia region. After several days of traveling, the flat ground below the line of sight gradually began to rise, and the whole terrain climbed to a higher place, the mountains rose higher and higher, and the sky became clearer and clearer.

Flying forward in the undulating direction of the mountain range, the clouds gradually thickened, and at first it was only light smoke and light fog, slightly invisible, but as the height rose, the scenery in Ye Ye's sight was full of fog and smoke, and the clouds and smoke curled, and the whole person fell into a misty cloud mountain. Flying high in the air and looking into the distance, in a trance, the outline of a city faintly appeared at the end of Ye Ye's gaze, which was the holy place of Apollo, the most famous oracle place in all Greece, located in Delphi on the steep slopes of Parnassus.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Ye's wings flapped behind him, and he quickly landed on the ground with a dive, retracted his wings, and slowly rushed towards Delphi.

Compared to Athens, which was already a prosperous city, Delphi was at best a town-level gathering place, but it was more important to Apollo than Athens was to Athena, and it can be said that Apollo was the root place.

Like many other Greek gods, Apollo, who appeared mainly as the god of light, also held many priesthoods such as the god of medicine, music, and animal husbandry, and among these priesthoods, there was one priesthood that was not even inferior to the priesthood of light, that is, prophecy. As the god of prophecy in this world, the widely worshipped Apollo has his own oracles all over Greece, as a beacon for the gods to guide people forward, but among these oracles, the most authoritative and famous is undoubtedly the Delphi oracle in front of Ye Ye's eyes now.

In many legends, this oracle has played a key role, through this sacred place Apollo proclaimed the prophecies of the gods to the heroes, cleared the fog of fate, guided the heroes to create glorious deeds, or pointed out the future of tragedy in hazy language, so that the great men who had received ominous prophecies struggled to resist, but tied themselves more and more into a doomed and tragic fate.

In the process, Apollo's influence also spread to the whole of Greece little by little, becoming a very important god on Mount Olympus, and now, Athens is just an ordinary member of the many Greek federations, but Delphi is already a common holy place for all Greek city-states.

Even before the Greek coalition set out for Troy, many kings and princes came here to ask the gods to reveal the success of the war, and it was clear that Apollo, who was on the side of Troy, could not shake off these unscrupulous fellows, and they were directly driven out by the priestesses of Apollo, the prophets known as the Pythias.

At this time, although the sky was still bright, it was already close to evening, and for the sake of safety, Ye Ye was not prepared to continue flying in the dark night, so he simply prepared to rest near this holy place for the night. As the most famous prophetic shrine in Greece, the Delphi Oracle often receives an endless stream of visitors from all over the world seeking oracles, but the rich sacrifices can be offered by all the noble and wealthy merchants of a certain status in the Greek city-states, so the place to stay overnight is also close to the center of Delphi, which is a bit risky for Ye Ye.

As a visitor from another world, Ye Ye was not on the thread of fate compiled by the goddesses of fate, so he didn't have to worry about appearing in the foreknowledge of the gods, but sending himself under the noses of the gods was another matter.

Anyway, with his current ability, not sleeping all night is not a big problem, so he simply wandered around the periphery of Delphi, hoping that he could hit the legacy of Gaia, the mother of the earth.

Delphi was not the shrine of Apollo in the first place, but it has changed hands in many ways to become what it is today. In the early days, before the Great Flood that destroyed mankind in the past, it was the temple of Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, and gave birth to a dragon-like python named Pitong to guard the territory.

Later, Gaia alternated the dominance of this temple to Themis, one of the twelve titan gods, the goddess of law and justice is the most prophetic of the gods, and even holds many futures and secrets that even Zeus, the king of the gods, does not know. And this Titan goddess, as Zeus's second wife after the primordial wisdom goddess Metis, gave birth to the three goddesses of fate who manipulate the threads of fate of everyone and the gods, and even the king of the gods cannot change the fate trajectory set by them.

Further on, in the hands of this oracle land is Themis' sister Phoebe, the other of the twelve Titans, the primordial goddess of the moon, the mother of the night goddess Leto, and the maternal grandmother of Apollo and Artemis.

It wasn't until Apollo was born that he shot the python Pitong who guarded the sacred land, and then took over the sacred place from his maternal grandmother, and since then he has established his own foundation and become one of the most powerful gods today.

This history, in fact, is also a small wave in the tide of the current Olympian gods to seize control of the world from the ancient Titan gods.
