Chapter 123: The Return of the Queen
After communicating with Aearchus that night, Achilles also learned another secret of the Mirmidognes.
Although from the second generation onwards, the Milmidones lost the ability to turn into ants, but their lifespan increased accordingly, unlike in the first generation, where many people died in their thirties and forties.
And they also inherited the talent of the first generation of Mirmidonene.
Fearless of the plague!
Not only the plague, but also other diseases, it is difficult to get them.
In an era dominated by war, such an ability can be called terrifying.
Just imagine that the soldiers on both sides are fighting in the jungle, full of poisonous swamps and miasma, on one side only warriors and even heroes can protect themselves from harm, while ordinary soldiers on the other side can maintain 100% combat effectiveness, and victory or defeat can be determined.
There are still a few people who can cultivate in the heroic era, and most of them are just ordinary people.
Similarly, the soldiers who can cultivate are at least at the rank of captain in the army, and most of the remaining soldiers are just ordinary people.
That is to say, the island of Aegina is really inhabited, and it is not as good as the island of Salamis, if there are fifty or sixty thousand people in Mirmidonne, the island of Aegina is enough to be included in the five strong city-states of Achaia.
But in fact, after deducting the old and weak women and children, the five or six thousand Miritones may not be enough.
Achilles hadn't been to the temple for many days since that night, not because he was afraid of the ant men, but because he was too embarrassed to face Ikias.
Fortunately, after cultivating the source power, he didn't need a special environment to continue cultivating, and Aeakos also acquiesced to his practice of staying at home.
However, Achilles has been running to the beach for the past few days, because Posamata did not lie to him, after taking the tears of the sea god, Achilles, who was originally half a landlubber, had no difficulty swimming in the water, and even stayed in the water for an hour.
The only regret is that the source gas in the sea is far less dense than that on land, and it is extremely violent, and it is difficult to absorb at all.
Achilles doesn't matter, since he can't cultivate, he should give himself a vacation.
......
While autumn was departing on the island of Aegina, Peotia, an old man who was dying, finally ushered in the last day of his life.
The gray-haired old man lay on the bed, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and finally closed his eyes.
In the corner of the room, a dark shadow suddenly wriggled strangely, and finally coalesced into the appearance of a man wearing a cloak and holding a long-handled scythe.
Grim Reaper, Thanatos!
Not every life that passes is qualified for Thanatos to harvest souls, only the most noble family or the most powerful soul in the world is worthy of Thanatos himself.
And mortal souls need to find their own way to cross the Akron River to have a chance to meet Tanatos.
A slightly illusory soul floated out of the old man's body, it was none other than the white-haired Radamantis.
In the past, when Tanatos saw these dead people, he would not be polite at all. No matter how noble and glorious you were in life, if you are dead, you will be dead, and there will be no affection to talk about.
But today is different, this Radamantis in front of him is the person designated by His Majesty Hades. He had also heard some news that the person in front of him might become a god of the underworld in the future.
"Radamantis, I am on the orders of His Majesty the Hades King to take you to the underworld, are you ready?"
If it were someone else, Thanatos would not have been so polite, and asked if he was ready. If you want to go, how dare you not go? If you don't accept it, if you go down with a sickle, your soul will be scattered.
Radamantis bowed his head and respectfully said, "I'm ready, Lord Death." ”
Even if Radamantis would stand on the head of Thanatos in the future, he was just an ordinary undead after all, and he was not qualified to play against the gods.
Tanatos stepped forward and grabbed Radamantis, and instantly turned into a black light and returned to the ground, heading towards the underworld.
Entering the gate of the underworld, the hill-like Cerberus lay in the doorway without lifting his eyelids.
Thanatos took two steps forward with Radamantis when he suddenly heard someone calling out to him from behind.
"Oh, my dear brother, Thanatos, long time no see, how are you doing?"
Brother? Thanatos was stunned, could it be his brother Hypnos?
But it doesn't sound like it at all.
Thanatos looked back and saw a large man with a beard flying through the air in a magnificent platinum carriage, heading towards the entrance to the underworld.
Not Hypnos, the god of sleep, but Zelos, the god of passion!
It's actually this guy.
Thanatos's face immediately turned cold, obviously not taking a good impression of this familiar fellow.
Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell beside him, rose from the ground, and the king of Hades had decreed that no one should enter the underworld unless he was a god or a ghost.
And Zelos is not the god of the underworld, and if you want to enter the underworld, you must first pass the level of Cerberus.
Cerberus bared his teeth and assumed a fighting stance, his six eyes staring at Zelos in unison, ready to give him a hard blow when he came down.
Suddenly, the dog's head in the middle of Cerberus seemed to smell something special, and with a "whoosh" sound, he actually put away his bared canine teeth, revealing a flattering expression.
The dogheads on the left and right sides also put their teeth away, and leaned forward with a flattering expression, pulling their tongues forward, and their big tails wagging with them.
What's going on?
Thanatos immediately sensed that something was wrong, and sure enough, before Cerberus could get close to the carriage, a woman's voice came from the carriage.
"Enough, don't come here!"
Cerberus immediately stopped obediently, but still drooled and wagged his tail at the carriage.
Zelos jumped out of the carriage and respectfully invited the woman out of the carriage.
The woman was dressed in a long emerald green dress, her long wheat-colored hair was not tied up, but scattered casually, and she wore a straw ring made of ears of wheat on her head, looking like a mischievous and cute elf.
But Tanatos didn't dare to look more, and lowered his eyelids and stepped forward to salute respectfully.
"Thanatos has seen the Queen of Hades!"
"Stay away from me!"
Thanatos was stunned, did he do something to provoke this person?
Thanatos couldn't help but look up nervously, and it happened that Persephone's bright big eyes also looked over, and he immediately knew that Thanatos had misunderstood.
"Thanatos, I don't mean you, I mean Cerberus, whose saliva is dripping onto my skirt. ”
Cerberus whined twice and took two steps back, but his tail still waged happily towards Persephone.
