After discussing the physical problems, it was obvious that Achilles was in a bad mood.

Aeakus thought for a moment and stretched out his hand to point ahead, "Achilles, from here to the temple, there are still two places where the source qi is as strong as just now, Grandpa wants to see if you can find these two places today." ”

"Okay. ”

Searching carefully along the road to the temple, Achilles forgot about the exhaustion and soreness on his body for a while, but fortunately he found the remaining two places.

One is on the mountainside, next to a large bluestone, and the other is in the small square in front of the temple.

By the time Achilles and Aeacus reached the temple, it was just noon and the sun was rising.

The servants who lived here led Aeacus and Achilles towards the side hall of the temple, where lunch was ready.

"This is the temple of Aphia, dedicated to my mother, Aekina. ”

As he passed by the temple's main hall, Aeakus pointed inside and introduced himself to Achilles.

Achilles nodded, suddenly feeling that something was wrong.

The temple is dedicated to gods, and Aegina doesn't seem to be a god.

Because Aeakos' father was Zeus, if Aecina was also a god, the gods and the descendants of the gods must be gods, and Aeakos was just a demigod.

"That...... Grandpa, is your mother also a god?"

"No, my mother, like me, was just a demigod. ”

"Then why is there a temple?"

A flash of grief suddenly flashed in Eakos's eyes, "When I was young, it was always my mother who took me to live, and my father came every once in a while, and his life was happy. ”

Achilles looked shocked, and listened to Aeakus's tone, as if he was about to say something big.

"I thought it was a good thing, but my father's wife was jealous of my mother. So one day a plague struck the island, and everyone but me died, and my mother died. My father, out of apology, erected a temple so that I would have a place to worship in the future. ”

Achilles thought about it, Aeakos's father was Zeus, and Zeus's wife was the god queen Hera.

I have long known that Hera is a jealous woman, but I didn't expect it to come to this extent.

The plague sent by Hera can poison even the demigods, let alone the ordinary people on the island. Aeakos' survival is all thanks to the divine blood in his body from Zeus, if the divine blood of Aeakos was at the level of Asobos, it would have become a dry bone long ago.

Aeakos looked up, letting the trail of water evaporate in the sunlight from his eyes.

"That's why the temple is called the Temple of Aphia, and Aphia originally means invisible, and the invisible god naturally does not exist. ”

Aegina is not a god, but Zeus set up a temple because of the guilt in his heart.

This in itself is a transgression, but on Mount Olympus, Zeus is the rule, and no one dares to oppose him at all.

Aeakus and Achilles walked to the door of the side hall and were about to enter, when a child who looked about the same age as Ajax stood respectfully at the foot of the steps and saluted Aeacos.

"Teacher, you're finally here. ”

Achilles had an impression of the child, and yesterday when he climbed the temple for the first time, a carriage left in a hurry just as he was about to reach the square.

The person saluting in front of him was the child in the carriage.

"Odorus, the teacher has something to do today, and he's late. Aeakos saw the blonde-haired child, who resembled Achilles, and a smile appeared on his face.

It turned out that he was really an apprentice of Eakos, and he said that he had seen the bracer on the child's arm yesterday. Achilles thought to himself.

"Have you had lunch yet, Odorus?"

Odorus saluted, "Not yet, I've been waiting for you to come, teacher." ”

Aeakos smiled, "Then let's come in and eat." ”

"Thank you, teacher. ”

Several people walked into the side hall and sat down, and Aeakus pointed to Achilles and introduced to Eudoros: "Eudoros, this is my grandson, named Achilles, and he is a demigod like you. ”

It's also a bit of an interesting word.

Achilles looked at Odorus opposite, but he didn't expect that this one was also the son of a god.

Aeakus pointed to Eudoros and said, "Achilles, this is the son of a god, and his father is Hermes, the god of guidance, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. ”

Achilleston was a little surprised, but he didn't expect this one to be the main god bloodline.

"Hello. ”

Odorus greeted Achilles.

"Hello. ”

Achilles immediately replied.

"Achilles will also practice with me in the future, and you two will have to be good friends, you know?" Aeakus suddenly remembered that it would not be good for the two demigods to fight every day when they got together, so he immediately said.

"I see, teacher. Odorus saluted again.

Achilles nodded as well.

After lunch, Aeakus took the two children to the square in front of the temple, which was the most ideal cultivation environment for beginners like them.

"Both of you are now in the stage of perceiving the source qi, in fact, in the stage of becoming a warrior, this step is the most difficult. ”

"It's easy to see and touch, but you can't see it, let alone touch it." ”

"The next step in perceiving the source qi is to let the source qi inhale into the body and transform it into one's own source power. ”

Aeakos looked at the two of them and did not continue, but said, "You two, sense the source qi and try how to absorb it." ”

Achilles closed his eyes, and soon, a faint golden glow appeared in the dark world.

Compared to the morning, Achilles' progress can be described as rapid.

The golden light gradually intensified, which meant that Achilles' perception of the source qi had become more profound.

However, no matter how deep the perception was, it was useless, and Achilles didn't know how to absorb the source qi at all. Obviously, it had already encountered the source qi, but it didn't seem to have any intention of entering its own body at all, and it quietly dispersed after a while.

Achilles couldn't help but reach out and grab it, and then he suddenly realized what he was doing?

How can the source qi be grasped with your hands?

His eyes opened a slit secretly, and Aeakos was standing in front of him, wanting to laugh but forcibly holding back, his old face flushed.

Achilles smiled awkwardly and withdrew his hand.

"Okay, you all stop and listen to me. ”
