Su Muran was about to pull Bentehikimo and Philomena to say goodbye, when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Sister Philo, is Achilles with you?" was Thetis's voice.

Philomena hurried over to open the door, and Thetis was standing in the doorway with a cloak. The cold wind blew in the snowflakes, and Su Muran felt that the temperature in the house had dropped a lot.

"Thetis, come in. ”

"Mom, why are you here?" Su Muran, who was still sitting in the chair, immediately stood up, and Bent Hikimo also stood up.

Tethys ignored Su Muran, turned her head and said to Bentehikimo: "Bentehikimo, your mother suddenly has an urgent matter and says that she wants to go back, seeing that you and Achilles are not there, so I came to look for you." ”

Benteschikimo was stunned for a moment, her eyes puzzled, but she nodded immediately, "I see, Aunt Thetis." ”

"Then let's go back first. Su Muran said and prepared to go home with Thetis.

"Rengar is still in there. Seeing that he was about to leave, Bent Hikimo immediately reminded him.

"By the way, I almost forgot about the lion cub. Su Muran patted his forehead and hurriedly went to the little pat's house to find him.

"Sister Philo, these two little ones have come to you early in the morning, and they must have caused you trouble. Thetis smiled at Philomena.

Philomena waved her hand, "Why are you so polite, besides, they are both very well-behaved, how can they be troublesome?"

While they were talking, Su Muran suddenly rushed out of it with the little lion in his arms, and Little Pat chased after him.

"Achilles, let me see it again. Little Pat shouted from behind.

Philomena grabbed him, "Patroclus, Aunt Thetis is here, don't be rude." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that little Pat was pulled by Philomena, Su Muran hurriedly ran out of the door with the little lion in his arms, and there was no time to say goodbye.

When he entered Little Pat's house just now, he actually saw him staring at the indescribable place of the little lion with a serious face, and Su Muran, who didn't know what he was doing, was scared into a cold sweat.

Little Pat, this is a man and a beast...... I didn't dare to think about it, Su Muran went up directly and grabbed the little lion and ran, she was so scared that she was scared to death.

Su Muran ran away, and Little Pat was also confused, I just want to see if it's male or female, Achilles, what's wrong?

......

The wind and snow outside were heavier than in the early morning, and Thetis walked home with one in hand.

"Mom, why does Aunt Anfei have to go back so soon?"

"Because it's already June, and it's the time for the people to sacrifice to the god of the sea, and your Aunt Anfei will be sacrificed with Poseidon. ”

Thetis is not wrong, according to the calendar of this era, it is indeed June, which corresponds to the part from December to January in the previous life. This month is also called the month of Poseidon, which means the month of the "Sea King", and the people will worship the sea god Poseidon at the beginning of the month.

Although the calendars of the city-states varied, the region of Milmidon followed the trend of adopting the Athenian calendar.

Su Muran felt that the people in Athens were actually living a very hard life at this time, twelve months a year, nine months to sacrifice to the gods, at least one sheep each time, basically a year's surplus was spent on this, and sometimes they even had to borrow money to buy sheep.

That's why a lot of adult men are eager to go out sailing, to go out on adventures. What if you accidentally find a treasure, what if you accidentally get rich?

There's no way, if you rely on farming, it's no problem to support yourself for food, but your parents, wives and children are stretched, and your life is miserable, who doesn't want to get rich overnight?

And what's even more disgusting is that the sacrifice is useless to the gods, the sacrifice will not greatly increase the divine power, and if the sacrifice is not made, the divine power will not be greatly retreated, their purpose is just to ...... Face.

That's pretty much it, because one god asked his people to pay homage to him, and then the other gods followed suit, and the result was what it is today.

"But, Aunt Thetis, this year's Athenian sacrifice should be over, and the Queen Mother said she would take me out to play after the sacrifice was over. Bent Hikime, who had always been a man of few words, suddenly raised his doubts.

"I don't know much about this, and I heard from my sister that this time you will also accept the sacrifice together. Thetis shook her head slightly, and said to Benthehikime.

Su Muran looked at Bentehikimo on the right with a calm face, but she didn't expect that she would actually stand with Poseidon and play and accept the worship of mortals.

However, Bentehikimo's heart is also very strange now, because in previous years, this kind of thing was done by her brother and sister, and it should not be her turn to say anything.

"Mom, why hasn't our family done a sacrifice?" Su Muran suddenly thought of a question, other villagers' families kill sheep every month, even Little Pat's family is like this, but he has never seen Thetis do this.

"We also sacrificed, didn't you kill a cow when Dad came back last time?" said Thetis casually, "It happened to be the first lunar festival, although it was a little late." ”

Speaking of this, Thetis remembered something again, let go of Su Muran's hand and twisted it on his face, "If it weren't for the time when you were naughty and Little Pat went to the mountains to play, and you met a big wild boar, my mother wouldn't have missed the annual festival." ”

Su Muran recalled carefully, wasn't Yetis talking about the time when he first came to this world?

"Mom, what's the festival for?"

"It was used to worship Zeus and the sun god Apollo. ”

"Mom, ...... you" Su Muran suddenly thought of it, but then remembered that Bent Hikimo was beside him, so he had to stop in embarrassment.

"Achilles, why are you talking like this, just say what you have to say. Thetis couldn't help but feel a little strange when she looked at Su Muran like this, usually Achilles would not be like this.

"Mother, did you eat the sacrifice of Zeus?" Su Muran suppressed his voice and whispered. He remembered that last time Thetis not only ate the cow, but also gave it to the villagers.

"Of course you have to eat it after the sacrifice has been used, otherwise do you have to throw it away?" Thetis really didn't know what Su Muran was thinking in her head.

"Oh, that's right. "It turned out to be just a false alarm. "But, Mom. Su Muran remembered one more thing.

"Why don't we have sacrifices in our family?"

"Because my mother is also a god, except for Zeus, there is no need to sacrifice to other gods. ”

I almost forgot about this stubble, so I said how Su Muran felt that his painting style was a little different from other people's homes.

......

"Thetis, you're back. Far away, Amphitrite stood at the door, waiting for them.

Theseis walked over quickly, "Sister, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"yes. Amphitrite took Bentehikimo's hand with a slightly awkward smile on her face. "I don't know why, in previous years, the sacrifices of the little Asians were delayed until the end of the month, and this year they are so active. I could have played a few more days, so it looks like I'm going to go back sooner. ”

In fact, there is another reason, after her proposal was vetoed by Titis yesterday, she also failed to agree to Theses's request. Now Amphitrite is really embarrassed to face Titis, and she can't ask for it to go home early.

"That's a pity, sister, and you'll come back when Pelius returns. Thetis smiled as if she didn't notice anything.

Amphitrite also calmed down, "Don't worry, I'll definitely come back." ”

These two people, something is wrong. Su Muran secretly touched his chin. It looks a little discordant, and it feels weird.

"Good girl, it's time for us to go home. Amphitrite said a word to Bente Hikimo, then turned to Su Muran and smiled: "Achilles, Auntie is going to leave first, and I will come to see you next time." ”

"Aunt Anfei walks slowly. Su Muran hurriedly pretended to be well-behaved, and looked at Amphitrite with a sense of regret. It's a pity that such a well-behaved nephew didn't become his son-in-law!

Bent Hikimo glanced at Su Muran very reluctantly. Don't get me wrong, it's not looking at him, it's looking at the little lion cub who hasn't woken up. That look was heart-wrenching and tear-jerking......

Well, the last two adjectives are just Su Muran's imagination. However, Bente Hikimo is indeed quite reluctant to let the little lion go, if it weren't for the fact that she hadn't matured yet, Su Muran would have wanted to lend the little lion to play with her for two days.

Amphitrite took Bentechikimo away, and Su Muran saw it very clearly, the two of them flew away on the white clouds! I didn't see Amphitrite do anything, and a white cloud rose from the soles of my feet and took them into the sky and disappeared.

"It's such a luxury, you have to take a private jet to get home. Su Muran said a little sourly. He had only experienced the sensation of flying once before now, and the two of them staged this one in front of him.

"Achilles, why don't you come in, aren't you cold?" Thetis, who had already walked into the house, saw that Su Muran was still outside, and couldn't help but wonder, isn't Achilles the most afraid of the cold?

After being asked what Titis said, Su Muran felt that there was a lot of snow on his body, and he hurriedly ran into the house to take off his coat and hide by the fireplace.

Thetis walked over and picked up the fur coat that Su Muran had thrown on the ground, patted the snow on it, and said to Su Muran: "Achilles, Dad may be coming back." ”

Su Muran was stunned for a moment, "Mom, how do you know?"

Thetis came over and hung up the fur coat in her hand, and then said, "Aunt Amphitrite said just now that the people of Asia Minor suddenly held a sacrifice. But in recent years, because of the war between Milmidon and Asia Minor, their sacrifices have been delayed again and again, and sometimes they cannot even be held, and I have not heard of such a big deal about them, and even alarmed the queen of the sea who is not in the sea. ”

Su Muran still didn't understand what Thetis meant, "But what does this mean?"
