Chapter 108: The First Step of Cultivation
Let Achilles practice with Aeakus, which Endeis had in mind before bringing him back.
First of all, it is naturally because Achilles is almost at the age of starting to practice, like Ajax started cultivating at the age of four, and entered the warrior level in a year, compared to Achilles, it is much worse.
Secondly, because of Endeis's selfishness, she wanted Achilles to stay on the island of Aegina for a longer time, if she just came here to play, Achilles would probably be taken back by Peleus in a few months at most. But if there is such a legitimate reason for cultivation, then when Peleus comes to ask for someone, Endeis can rightly refuse him.
In the end, it was Endeis who could guess that Aeakos would not refuse his offer.
It's still the same sentence, after all, when you're old, you have learned to compromise with yourself.
And Achilles actually wanted to cultivate, but he didn't want to start his cultivation here, who knows what "inhumane" things Achilles would do to him.
The next day, however, Achilles relented.
Because when Endeis stood in front of him the next morning with a bowl of potion and asked him with a smile if he would go or not, Achilles immediately compromised.
I'd rather go up the mountain to fight a tiger than drink a bowl of medicine at home.
This is a true portrayal of Achilles' mood right now.
After breakfast, Aeakus took out a pair of delicate brass bracers and a pair of brass leggings from the room, which looked small and suitable for Achilles' age.
Aeakos gently put the object on the ground and asked, "Can you pick it up?"
Achilles bent down to get it, but he didn't expect this thing to look small, but it was unexpectedly heavy, each of which looked like a dozen pounds.
But fortunately, Achilles has a lot of strength now, and he picked it up easily.
Aeakos nodded slightly, these four gadgets were specially made by him, each weighing fifteen minna, adding up to exactly one tarrant, but he didn't expect Achilles to pick it up without much effort.
However, Aeakos did not say anything of praise, but said, "Put it on." ”
Achilles put it on as he said, but to be honest, it is really not the same feeling to hold dozens of pounds of things in your hands and hang them on your body, it is a feeling of power and nowhere to go, and it is a little uncomfortable.
Aeakos glanced at Achilles, turned and walked out the door.
Achilles hurriedly followed, but because of the things hanging on his body, he really couldn't go fast.
Aeakos was soon a big step ahead of Achilles, and got into the carriage prepared by the servants one step ahead.
Aeakus turned back to him and said, "Achilles, from now on, you have to walk to the temple on the mountain, and I will go up and wait for you first." ”
The servant immediately raised his whip and drove the carriage towards the hill, leaving Achilles alone at the gate of the courtyard.
Well, actually, I guessed it a long time ago.
Achilles didn't seem annoyed, which was entirely to be expected.
Since he said he was going to walk, he walked well, and Eakos didn't stipulate when he would arrive anyway.
Following the direction of the carriage's departure, Achilles slowly swayed into the only way up the mountain, stopping and stopping along the way, looking at the scenery everywhere.
The scenery here is quite beautiful, as long as you find a place where there are no trees, turn your head to the right-hand side, and you can see the sea in the distance.
The clear blue water rolled up white waves, rushed to the sand as smooth as golden satin, and then retreated like defeated deserters.
It's strange, it's obviously a very beautiful scenery, what kind of analogy are you playing?
But the beach here is really beautiful, maybe stretching for thousands of meters, and it is golden, not variegated at all.
If a high-class bathing beach were to be built here, and each tourist would be charged a drakma of silver, it would certainly be prosperous in less than two years.
However, Achilles also knew that this idea was a little too naïve, after all, in this era, no one would have such leisure to run over and enjoy it.
And it seems a bit too black to receive one silver drachma, after all, a sheep now only costs ten drachmas silver. The average maid's salary for a month can only buy a sheep without eating or drinking, and it seems unlikely that she can come here to consume.
No, it's simply impossible!
The idea of making money was eliminated by Achilles, but this did not prevent Achilles from continuing to see the scenery.
Before he knew it, it was already noon, and when Achilles noticed that the sun was climbing overhead, he couldn't help but look at the top of the mountain, which seemed to be ...... Not halfway yet?
It feels terrible!
"Why don't you go back now. Saying to himself, Achilleston didn't want to leave.
To tell the truth, even if he doesn't look at the scenery, it is really difficult to walk fast with these few things on his body.
If he took off his bracers and leggings now and ran all the way back, he might have eaten in half an hour.
The idea was tempting, but it suddenly occurred to Achilles that if he went back, it might not be lunch that was waiting for him, but a large pot of potion prepared by Endaeus, and his scalp immediately tingled.
It's better to run to the temple early.
Achilles finally began to take this somewhat difficult journey seriously, but what he didn't expect was that several things on his body seemed to have some magical power, and Achilles couldn't run a few steps before he lost his strength.
Achilles, who hadn't sweated for a long time, finally felt tired again today, and the last time he felt this way was before the trip to Styx, when he and little Pat were blindly gesturing with a wooden sword.
I don't know why, Achilles always felt that the sun was moving very fast today, and when he barely reached the top of the mountain, a hundred meters away from the small square in front of the temple, the sunset had already begun to sink into the sea.
Just such a mountain road, I actually walked for a whole day!
Achilles was so tired that his clothes were wet with sweat, and there had never been a moment when he was so hungry for food and water.
As he insisted on walking forward, suddenly a carriage drove out of the temple square in front of him, and Achilles shouted in his heart, could it be that Aeakos was going home?
It's a shame now!
The carriage was approaching the setting sun, and Achilles couldn't see it clearly, and he didn't let go until the carriage came to his side.
It wasn't Aeakos, but a little boy who looked about the same age as Ajax was sitting in the carriage, squinting and dozing.
The carriage drove quickly, but Achilles saw that the child was wearing a pair of brass bracers that were identical to his on his wrists.
This must be Aeakos's apprentice too?
Achilles opened his mouth, but now he could only gasp like a bellows, and could not speak at all.
