Chapter 56: Special Punishment
Carette was taken back to her bedchamber. The guards surrounded it inside and out, making her anxious.
Jose was trapped in a cliff and imprisoned, and he was confined to his dormitory, losing contact with the outside world, and there was no way to meet him again.
I was fidgeting, and there was a commotion outside.
"Okay, it's only five minutes, are you going to do it? The bride hasn't eaten anything since the wedding in the morning, and now you don't know how to send something to eat and drink, and I dare to stop me if I come to see you off in person." In the end, it is the daughter of the great god, if you toss it out, I will see how the great god will punish you then!"
Kareta was startled, the woman's voice was all too familiar.
Looking out, Artimis, the moon god dressed in silver and white clothes and shining like ice and snow, strode in, followed by two maids.
"You two have something to say, time is limited!"
Artimis didn't look at Carreta or sit down, but flashed to the side.
The tall maid behind her lowered her hand and hurried to Karet.
"Bai Xiu!"
Carette recognized him at a glance, he had used the same method to infiltrate her bedchamber before.
"Thank you, Artimis ......"
Knowing that the moon god had secretly helped her, Kareta turned her head and smiled at her in gratitude.
"No need, it's just because Bai Xiu wants to see you!"
Artimis was still cold towards Karete, she glanced at her sideways and quickly looked away, a cold smile oozing from the corner of her mouth:
"Sure enough...... You're not a fuel-efficient lamp!"
Bai Xiu carefully examined Kareta from head to toe, and finally his eyes fell on her lower abdomen:
"Are you alright!?I heard something happened at the wedding, and you and Kamod got into a fight! I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have given you such a bad idea. ”
"No, I can't blame you, I messed up the whole thing! Jose's arrival is a reminder of the real me...... Bai Xiu, I really can't go against my heart and marry a man I don't love against my heart for some ulterior purpose. ”
"Hmm!"
Bai Xiu looked at Carette with a resolute and determined look, and nodded with a pleased smile:
"Yes! If you act against your will, you will no longer be the 'Messenger of Love and Light' Carret! It's just that I was surprised that Jose would be loved by Hades, the king of Hades, and have the mark of immortality and be able to exert a certain amount of attack power, which is no different from half of the Titans!"
"I'm most worried about him right now......"
At the mention of José, Carreta looked sad:
"It was because of the mark of immortality that Zeus sent him to the cliff prisoner. Once upon a time it was a place dedicated to dealing with the demigod hero Prometheus! I'm now grounded in the dormitory, and I can't go out at will. ”
Bai Xiu smiled wisely, looked outside the door, turned his head and lowered his voice and said to her:
"It's just your body that's being grounded, isn't it?"
“...... Persew, you mean...... That spell?"
Carret's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Yes, it shouldn't be difficult for you now, but it will take a certain amount of physical strength!"
"Great! I'll try it when nightfall!"
Kareta couldn't help but take Bai Xiu's hands and smile heartily at him.
"Cut!"
The moon god Artimis looked at him coldly, and pursed his lips sourly.
......
The Cliff Prisoner is located in a steep cliff in the sacred mountain of Olympus, named after the god generation was used by Zeus to punish the immortal demigod Prometheus who stole the fire of the gods, so it also has an alias "Broken Soul Cliff"!
At this time, Jose was trapped on the cliff of the Broken Soul Cliff.
There are two sets of chains, one end of which is nailed into the rock of the cliff and the other end is attached to a strong iron hoop to bind José's hands and feet.
José was trapped on the cliff all the time, and there was no other anchor point to hold his body in place except for iron hoops that held his limbs firmly in place.
During the day, he was exposed to unobstructed sunlight. In the evening, when the sun was completely setting in the west, the painful strength was relieved.
On the way here, José learns from the intermittent conversations of the guards about how terrible the so-called "cliff prisoners" really are.
Prometheus, the hero who helped mankind, became a demigod because he was rewarded by Hades, and Zeus punished this "thief" in a unique way by sending him to a cliff prisoner, trapping him on a cliff, and sending some eagles, vultures and other birds of prey to peck at Prometheus's internal organs.
And he is an immortal body, and after the five organs are broken, they grow again, and they attract the pecking of birds of prey, and so it grows and eats again...... In any case, Prometheus will not die, but he will continue to endure the pain of cannibalism in his body, which is the most special punishment given to him by the great god Zeus!
José was naturally aware of this sensational legend.
Around noon, when the guards guarding the cliff pass could not stand the scorching sun and hid in the distance, Jose began to use his brains to escape.
He couldn't stop thinking about Karet's situation. When he calmed down, he realized that his lack of thinking had probably affected her safety.
Kareta must be found as soon as possible -
With this in mind, José desperately moved the iron hoops that bound his limbs. But those things are too strong for ordinary forces to shake them.
What's even more peculiar is that there seems to be some kind of mysterious power attached to them, and as soon as Jose makes a slight movement, the chain will make an incomparably strong sound, which immediately attracts the attention of the guards.
Jose is determined to summon the power within him to shackle him.
So he tried the same way as before, closing his eyes and holding his breath to concentrate his thoughts. Unfortunately, this time things were much more troublesome than he had imagined. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it, and the power that had defeated the great god Zeus was unable to move.
José was so tired that he collapsed and couldn't exert any strength, and finally gave up the idea of fleeing at this time.
Also right......
He thought that if this place was really so easy to escape, Prometheus would probably not have to endure the pain of being crippled long ago......
At night, Jose raised his head weakly, looking at the speckled stars in the dark sky, and was melancholy.
A few shrill birdsongs streaked across the sky, lifting Jose's nerves, which had just been relaxed, again.
As expected, at this time, several strange-looking big birds suddenly appeared in the sky, covered in seven-colored mixed feathers, with a head like a vulture, with a pair of curved and slender tentacles, and a body like a peacock, but with two pairs of eagle talons.
They spread their long, wide wings and circled around the cliffs, occasionally emitting a few intense, piercing chirps.
"Oh...... Look, the Condor is coming, and the man is so comfortable!"
"Let's see from a distance!"
The sound of the guards talking could be heard from above the cliff mouth.
Damn –
Jose gritted his teeth and stared straight ahead, a panic in his heart.
In the field of vision, the huge birds were extremely agile and nimble, and soon after the mediation, Jose was dazzled and dizzy by them.
No, I don't want to be eaten by them......
Jose muttered to himself as he tried to gather his strength to attack these annoying birds.
Still unable to summon any power, Jose was so anxious that he was sweating.
He felt that the place of the cliff prisoner was really very evil, and there seemed to be an invisible power in the underworld, which directly suppressed the release of the power in his body.
A large bird flew closer and closer to José, and as it flapped its wings, a scorching wind swept towards José.
Jose couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but close his eyes. For a moment, it stretched out a sharp claw in vain, and the moment it turned, it scratched José's shirt.
A long wound was also made in Jose's chest, and blood gushed out like a bank. He couldn't help it, and he wailed and wailed.
The other big birds smelled the blood, and they went berserk, chirping one after another, and their animalistic eyes flashed with bloodthirsty red, which stood out in the dark night.
The big bird that had successfully attacked Jose became even more ferocious, flapping its wings in the air a few times before taking the lead in swooping down on him, its sharp beak already open to the maximum.
Finished......
José thought this to himself and cried out in despair.
However, the big bird made a sharp U-turn less than half a meter from Jose's body, and flew away with a spin of its head and tail.
The other big birds chirped to each other, and they also flew farther and farther after the first bird.
"It's really strange today, the Condor didn't eat him!"
The guards were amazed and gossiping.
"Maybe they don't have an appetite yet......"
"Well, this man may be so hateful that even the Condor doesn't bother to eat him. ”
"Observe for a few days, and then the great god will naturally have tricks to deal with him!"
......
After José slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to examine himself.
The danger had obviously passed, and there were no other injuries on his body other than the bloody wound just now.
Jose finally breathed a sigh of relief. But José himself was puzzled by the fact that the strange big birds suddenly gave up attacking him.
Time continues to pass in silence.
The guards had fallen asleep, and Jose on the cliff was also sleepy and hungry, and gradually fell into a state of confusion.
"Jose ......"
The sound in his ears suddenly woke him up. Hurriedly opening his dull and sore eyes, he was surprised to see the woman he longed for—Karete.
She wore a plain and unpretentious dress, and her delicate figure was suspended in the air, face to face with him.
"Karete! you...... Coming?"
Jose was amazed, but also very happy.
Soon, he noticed that the image in front of him was semi-transparent and blurry, and it seemed not very clear, and it always gave people a sense of inauthenticity.
"Sorry I'm late. Because I was punished and grounded, I had to use the spell of spatial projection to rush to the cliff prisoner, and what you see at this time is not my real body!"
From José's astonished eyes, Carreta saw his question, and opened her mouth unhurriedly, explaining everything very clearly and in an orderly manner:
"I used a spell to disperse those condors, and I waited until the guards were asleep before I came out to see you. ”
"It's you!"
Jose now understands why the real reason why he was able to escape just now was because Carreta secretly attacked.
Looking at each other in pairs, they all sighed that the world is changeable, and creation makes people.
After nearly half a year of separation in different dimensions, when they met again, Carette was no longer the girl in Jose's heart, and Jose had already grown up as a boy and a graceful man!
Kareta slowly reached into his face.
José saw her palm caressing his cheek, but he couldn't feel the warmth of that palm except for the cold wind of the night.
It's just an image......
A trace of sadness overflowed his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh coldly.
"Jose, why did you come to the Holy Mountain?"
This has always been a question that has plagued Karete.
"It's one of your goddesses here...... The Goddess of Disputes came to me in the human world and told me that you were going to marry her lover. I don't believe it's true, go with her into the holy mountain. But just after passing the Sacred Forest Enchantment, he was abandoned by their people. I searched for a long time and spent a lot of effort to find your wedding scene. ”
"Sure enough, as I guessed, you were used by them!"
After hearing this, Karete's facial features tensed and her expression was extremely serious.
"Jose...... I'm pregnant. ”
“...... What do you say?"
"I'm pregnant, it's been more than four months. This girl is the last hope of the Dark Gods. No matter what it takes, I'm going to save her!"
Kareta bowed her head and poured out her hands on her abdomen, looking relieved and happy.
José's eyes widened blankly, looking at Karete's expression, and then looking down at her abdomen, a look of surprise gradually appeared on her blank face.
"You're pregnant with your senior's child...... This little princess who is about to be born must be as beautiful and moving as you, and as brave and wise as a senior. ...... Great......"
José was sincerely happy for Carrete, and while admiring it, he couldn't help but recall the past scenes of the human world. With a burst of sourness, he choked up.
"I'm sorry, Kareta, but it looks like I'm too impulsive and ruining your business!"
"No, I'm the one to be grateful to. Jose, if you hadn't arrived in time to wake me up, I'd obviously be numb and lose all my fighting spirit. Now I've figured it out, for the sake of the children, for the sake of you who came to wake me up for the adventure, for the sake of Demos, even if the road to avoid shortcuts will be extremely rough and dangerous, I want to try to go on!"
"Well, don't worry, Carleta, if you can escape from here, I'll go with you!"
Jose said excitedly to Carret.
