Chapter 120: Hearing the Tides
"Grandma, are you from a civilian family?" Achilles asked after thinking for a moment.
"Sort of. Endeis nodded, "I lived in the mountains when I was a child, and I didn't have any neighbors. ”
That's civilians, yes.
"At that time, the old man came to my house to ask for marriage, and my father refused to agree, but later I told my father that he would give him a chance to see how good he looked. ”
Endeis laughed, with a hint of nostalgia for the past, "The old man was really handsome when he was young, like your father. ”
Although Pelius now has some traces of age on his face, he can still see how he looked when he was young, and he is indeed handsome.
Endeith put his hand to his mouth, as if he was talking about some secret, and whispered, "Actually, I liked your grandfather very much at that time, and he didn't know it. ”
"And then?"
"Then my father said that if I insisted, I would give him a chance, but only if I passed his test. ”
Aeakos's father-in-law is a bit violent, as a civilian, he actually let Aeakos accept his test.
"My father was good at medicine, and he taught me my medicine, so at that time my father's test for the old man was to dispense medicine. ”
Endeith laughed again: "The old man didn't know anything about dispensing medicine, so he told my father that if it wasn't for the sake of teasing him, he should show some sincerity." ”
Then my father agreed, so the difficulty was lowered. He said that the medicine he was dispensing now was still one and he didn't know what to do, so let your grandfather figure it out. ”
Endeith looked at Achilles and said, "That medicine is the kind you used to drink with Ajax often, but the old man still didn't know how to get it, so he was in a hurry." At that time, I liked him again, so I had to tell him secretly. ”
This section seems to be a little familiar.
For example, Princess So-and-so betrayed her palace for Prince So-and-so, it sounds like Medea and Iasong were like this back then.
"When the old man passed the test, my father agreed to marry me off to him, and from then on he was so apprehensive that he had made the medicine. Then one day, I told him that my father had actually made the medicine decades earlier, and it had nothing to do with him. ”
"And what did Grandpa say?"
"Annoyed and angry. Endeith shook his head helplessly, "He still keeps insisting that it is impossible, and it is his credit." ”
Achilles was going to laugh silly, and Aeacus was so cute.
I don't want to think about why my father-in-law said that there is only one kind of medicine, and if people don't know how much is missing, how can they say that.
However, Achilles was a little curious about Endaeus's awesome father, and if he could let the demigod Aeacus obediently accept his test, his medical skills must be remarkable.
Achilles suddenly remembered Macaon, who was also a doctor, and he didn't know which one was better than Endeis's father.
"Grandma, is your father also a doctor?"
Endeith thought for a moment, "Hmm...... Sort of. ”
"Have you heard of Makaon? ”
As a young man, Makaon traveled extensively and became famous in the land of Achaia, where many city-states knew of such a powerful doctor.
Sure enough, Endeith knew about it.
"I've seen the young man before, and he's about ten years younger than me. ”
The gray-haired Macaon was still a young man in the eyes of Endeais?
Achilles forced a smile and asked, "What do you think of his medical skills, compared to your father?"
Endeis smiled and shook his head, "Macaon, let's put it this way, you have to salute when you see me." ”
Awesome.
Achilles wanted to ask if Endaeus' father was still alive, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't ask.
After all, Endeis was almost seventy years old, and if her father was still alive, he would be in his nineties at least.
In this world, ordinary people live past the age of eighty, even if they live a very long life, this is still possible only if they have cultivation and reach the hero level or even a higher level.
People who have not cultivated were taken away by Tanatos in their sixties, and that is a big handful.
Even if Endeis's father had excellent medical skills, the probability of living to the age of ninety was pitiful, so he still didn't ask, lest Endeisi be sad.
There was silence for a while, and then suddenly there was a voice on the floor, and then Aeakos's head came out of the staircase and shouted to Endeis: "Woman, come up and go to bed quickly." ”
"Okay, wait for me to clean up. ”
Endeis immediately stood up and cleaned up the table, and Aeakus shouted to Achilles, "Achilles, don't pester your grandmother, go to sleep." ”
"But I've just gotten up. ”
Aeakos was stunned for a moment, then remembered that this seemed to be the case, and shouted again: "Then you go out for a walk." So, I'll give you a mission, run to the mountains and come back, go quickly. ”
"Oh. ”
Achilles stood up, went to the house to get bracers and leggings, and walked out the door.
After a day's sleep today, it's time to go out and get some activity at night.
The inhabitants of the island of Egina live around the island, and the center of the island is a large mountain and forest, as long as you don't go inside, you will not encounter poisonous snakes or beasts at all, and there is almost no danger.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Achilles walked on the familiar mountain path.
He had been on the island of Aegina for so long, and he had never run out at night, and his range of activities was limited to the range from his home to the temple, and he had never been anywhere else.
Not to mention the distance, even the big beach less than 500 meters from the door of the house, he has never been there.
He used to really like these things, but now he seems to have something he likes even more.
Cultivation is like a game that keeps Achilles entertained.
Achilles used the little source power in his body to make it easier for him to walk.
The cool night breeze swept through the body, and the body that seemed a little hot after a day's sleep was also refreshed.
On both sides of the mountain road, some trees have begun to lose their leaves, and when the night wind blows, they fall all over the ground.
Except for the occasional sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, all that remained was the sound of the waves rolling on the beach not far away, which came in bursts with a fixed rhythm.
Cheerful but not noisy.
Achilles was also unconsciously immersed in such an atmosphere, as if he was stunned, and gradually only the sound of the waves remained in his ears.
When he woke up, he found that he had actually arrived at the temple square.
"What's going on?"
Achilles looked around and muttered to himself, he remembered that he seemed to be at the foot of the mountain just now, why did he suddenly reach the top of the mountain?
And what's even stranger is that I didn't feel tired at all.
