Chapter 52: This Peace of Mind
"Until one day, the chaos god Kaos left this world, and the first generation of humans was taken away by him. The bodies of the dead dissipated to the earth, and the remnants of power filled the entire world. ”
"Later, Prometheus created humanity, and from that time on, people received gifts left by the Chaos God. ”
"Then is there a division of realms in cultivation?" Su Muran continued to ask.
Peleus's words opened the door to a new world for Su Muran, and no one had ever demonstrated these abilities in front of him, including none of the villagers in the village, who knew how to cultivate.
Peleus took one look at the wild boars laid on the ground and decided to leave them to the wolves in the mountains.
Peleus didn't even want the prey in his hand, and explained while pulling Su Muran down the mountain.
"Although there are also realms of cultivation, the division is not particularly clear, and it can only be divided according to the amount of source power in a person's body. ”
"What is the source power?" Su Muran could vaguely guess, but he was not very sure of what he thought in his heart.
"The source force is the power left by the god Kaos in the human world, the product of the disintegration of the chaotic power used by the first generation of humans. Peleus tells these secrets that ordinary people don't know, and he doesn't hide them at all.
There is really no need to hide it, after all, the only god Pelius is talking about is Kaos, the god of chaos, but Kaos has been out of this world for a long time, and it is impossible for him to suddenly appear to condemn him.
"When people are cultivating, if they can release the source power out of their bodies, they are called hero-level. People often refer to heroes as this type of person. ”
I see.
Although he often bragged to Little Pat that he was going to become a superhero in the future, Su Muran didn't know how to define a hero before. He had always thought that infinite power was a hero, but it wasn't.
"Dad, then you're also a hero, right?" Su Muran suddenly remembered that Peleus had said that he was one of the heroes of the Argo.
"Haha, of course. Dad was a hero more than ten years ago. Peleus laughed and said proudly.
"Our weak Sebrils have fought a war with the mighty Asians of Asia Minor for six years, and we have suffered fewer casualties than them, because we have more heroes than them. ”
Su Muran nodded, and said why those people wholeheartedly supported Peleus as king, it turned out that they really came to hug their thighs.
"Dad, then can you teach me to cultivate?" Su Muran stammered Pelius with a shy face.
"Absolutely. Peleus patted his chest in response, "Isn't that what we said before?"
"But, Achilles, Daddy has answered so many of your questions, you should answer me too. Pelius changed his words and looked at Su Muran with a smile.
"Of course, you ask. Su Muran nodded, he didn't seem to have anything he couldn't tell Peleus.
Peleus still smiled, "Actually, you're not my son, are you?"
As if a heavy hammer had been smashed into his chest, Su Muran stopped, and his face was as white as snow for a moment.
Su Muran staggered, looked up at Peleus's smiling face, and his body suddenly became a little cold.
The biggest secret was revealed by Peleus, who was now in unspeakable panic.
How does Pelius see it?
"I ......"
Su Muran opened his mouth, but found that his voice became as ugly as a night owl, and his throat was dry as if he had just drunk a bowl of blood, and he couldn't say the second word.
Seeing his expression, the smile on Peleus's face faded.
"It seems that I guessed correctly, you are really not Achilles. ”
Pelius squatted down and looked at Su Muran, without a trace of expression on his face, and his tone was terrifyingly calm.
"Are you...... How do you know?" Facing Peleus's gaze, Su Muran only felt ashamed and embarrassed.
Whatever the reason, it was he who occupied Achilles' body, even if he was inexplicable, but the result was here, and there was nothing to justify.
"The last time I came home, I felt something was wrong with you. Peleus looked at Su Muran, his eyes as calm as water.
"Then you saw me with strange and frightened eyes. Although I haven't seen Achilles for half a year, he can remember, and my son will never look at me like this. ”
Su Mu then took two steps back, leaning against a tree, barely allowing himself to stand firm. Sweat poured from his head, wetting Peleus's blonde hair, which quickly hardened under the cold wind.
"When I came back this time, Thetis told me about your changes, so that I could be sure that you were really not Achilles. ”
"You've changed a lot, and before Achilles couldn't cook, or make strange gestures, or say words that people couldn't understand. ”
"I've been suspicious of you for a long time, and I wasn't sure until just now that you weren't my son!"
Pelius walked up and put his hands on Su Muran's shoulders, even though his invulnerable body was faintly painful at this moment.
Su Muran struggled reluctantly, but Peleus's hands were like iron pincers, so he couldn't break free at all.
Peleus stared at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of him, and the calm that had been hanging on his face could not be disguised at last. Blue and red veins rose on his face, and his expression was as hideous as a demon crawling out of hell.
"Tell me! Where did Achilles go? Where did my son go?"
Peleus yelled at Su Muran, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"I ...... I don't know. Su Muran spoke with difficulty, trying her best to raise her head and look at Pelius's face.
"How could you not know!" Peleus roared angrily, his eyes as red as the big boar just now, "you killed Achilles!"
"I didn't do it, I woke up like this. "Su Muran is really wronged.
Pelius let go of Su Muran, tears could not be suppressed, salty tears slid into his lips, and he felt the taste of tears for the first time in his life.
He did not cry when he was driven out of the island of Aegina by his father, he did not cry when he was separated from his siblings, and he did not cry even when he married a goddess.
Before today, Peleus could proudly declare to the world that he had not shed a tear in his life, but today Peleus cried because his son was gone.
Su Muran looked at him blankly, and tears couldn't be suppressed from sliding out of his eyes.
Looking at Peleus, who was crying bitterly in front of him, Su Muran remembered his parents. If they knew they were dead, they would have been like Peleus, who would have cried all day long.
Although they are often away from home, even on holidays, they only have a phone call, but they always keep the best for themselves and never ask themselves how to reciprocate.
Peleus wiped away his tears and stood up, his voice very low.
"I believe you didn't lie to me, I have something to ask you. ”
Maybe it's to drive me away.
Su Muran wiped his eyes, "Please say it." ”
Peleus's red and swollen eyes revealed a hint of sadness, "I want you to think of yourself as Achilles in the future and forget the past forever." ”
"What did you say?"
Peleus turned around, his former tall back looking a little clumsy, and he spoke slowly.
"Thetis doesn't know about this, and I don't want her to be upset. It's enough for you and me to know. ”
Su Muran nodded silently, he could feel Thetis's love for him, or for Achilles. If Thetis had known about this, she would have collapsed.
"Anyway, this is Achilles' body after all, and I don't want to know who you are or where you come from. I just don't want Thetis to get hurt. ”
Peleus walked forward with his spear in his hand, and the sound could be heard from afar.
"I'll wait at the foot of the mountain until it gets dark, and if you promise, come there and meet me. If you don't agree, you can leave at any time, and even though you may be the murderer of my son, I will show mercy to your men. ”
Peleus said this, but a cold light flashed in his still red and swollen eyes.
In the last sentence just now, he lied.
If Su Muran didn't come before dark, then he must have something to do with Achilles' death. Then no matter what, Peleus will not let him go.
Su Muran left the big tree with his back and reluctantly walked to a stone by the river and sat down, although Peleus didn't do anything to him, but in fact his legs were already weak.
If he could leave this world and return to his own home, he would probably turn around and leave, even though he was sorry.
He is not an orphan, his parents are alive, and the most alluring things in this world are not as attractive to him as his own home.
The problem is, there's no going back.
Su Muran pinched his hand, it wouldn't hurt, but he knew that it wasn't a dream.
For more than half a year in this world, he has always regarded all this as a game. Everyone he sees is an NPC in the system, and even if he is touched by chance, he will subconsciously remind himself that this is fake.
It was Peleus's cry that woke him up, the people here are not boring programs without feelings, everyone is a flesh and blood life.
When you are happy, you will laugh, and when you are sad, you will cry, just like every ordinary person.
Su Muran looked at his reflection in the river, and since he came to this world, he hasn't looked at his face seriously. Because he was afraid that the face he saw would not be the same as the self he remembered, and he was afraid that he would say goodbye to his former self completely.
Looking at the unfamiliar face in the water, the golden hair and brown pupils are all telling that he is no longer the Su Muran he used to be, he is Achilles!
"Yes, I'm Achilles. Su Muran muttered to herself, and her eyes gradually became firm.
As long as you live, you should look forward, and this place of peace is my hometown.
......
Su Muran walked to the foot of the mountain, the sunset was slanting, and the sunset was like a brocade.
Peleus crouched at the entrance of the hill, his bronze spear leaning against the trunk of a withered tree beside him, lonely as a homeless tramp.
Su Muran walked behind him, his shoes stepping on the snowflakes, making a "squeak" sound.
Peleus stood up with his back to him.
"Go home, Achilles. ”
"Hmm. ”
From then on, there was only Achilles.
