Achilles sat in a carriage bound for Athens, holding a brass dagger of its own inconspicuous appearance.

No one could have imagined that such an inconspicuous-looking dagger would hide earth-shattering power.

With a full blow from Caron, it's no problem to kill a legendary troll.

Achilles watched as Charon used this dagger to split a mountain in the Divine Domain of Pyndas in half, and the blade passed over the place, and the section was smoother than a bronze mirror.

However, when Achilles took the dagger from Charon's hand with drooling, he was surprised to find that there was a crack in the dagger.

"Nothing can carry the power of immortality, Achilles, you only have one chance to solve the Minotaur. ”

Thinking of what Charon said to himself, Achilles couldn't help but have a headache, the durability of the dagger was almost consumed by Charon's blow, in case it didn't work, his small body was not enough for the minotaur to hammer twice.

The only thing you can rely on is your own invincible gold, at least to ensure that you will not be hammered to death.

Achilles stopped thinking and suddenly noticed a huge and tall and majestic city in the distance.

"It's almost time to get to Athens. ”

It's still the familiar North Gate.

After talking to Charon that day, the next day Charon sent Achilles back to Fothea.

Of course, it was not delivered by him himself, but by a legendary giant eagle from Mount Pondas, with a letter from him, which was forwarded to Peleus.

I don't know what the letter says, but Achilles didn't stay at home for a few days before he met little Pat once, and was sent to Athens by Peleus.

The person who sent him, Achilles, was also very familiar, that is, Phoenix, who served as the chief steward of the palace.

"Your Royal Highness, Athens is coming. ”

Phoenix, who was driving, turned back to Achilles and said.

Achilles put the dagger into the skin space with his backhand, "I see." ”

Phoenix turned around and continued to drive with peace of mind.

His Royal Highness the Prince, who fell from the back of the giant eagle that day, really startled him, dressed in clothes sewn from animal skins, and looked like a little savage.

It's not that Achilles doesn't want to come back with a better look, it's just that the clothes he left before were too small to wear.

The carriage followed the flow of people into the city of Athens, I haven't seen it for a few years, and it is still a bustling and lively scene, but Achilles always felt that under the surface of this prosperity, the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong?

It's really a bit wrong, mainly because there have been several recent events in Athens, each of which is equivalent to an earthquake in the city of Athens. And coincidentally, these few things are all related to the same person.

The first is that the king of Athens suddenly has an illegitimate child and has already been established by the king of Athens as the heir to the kingdom.

The incident caused a storm in the Athenian political arena, but it was just a little more interesting for the people.

The second thing is a little scary.

The new Prince Theseus, after taking control of the city guards, suddenly rose up and killed a group of his cousins and uncle Pallas without explanation.

The official version is that Pallas and his sons intended to kill Prince Theseus, so they ambushed him on the road while he was away.

As a result, Prince Theseus saw through it, and instead killed all the ambushers.

After the killing, Prince Theseus found out that it was his uncle and cousins.

The average Athenian people would not have believed such a thing, and the citizens were very worried.

The future owner of the city-state was so brutal to his own relatives that he killed all of them in one go, so what should they ordinary civilians do?

The future king is so cruel and murderous, will he have a good life in the future?

If one thing only worries the Athenians, the last thing makes them angry.

This year it's time to pay tribute to Crete again!

In addition to a large amount of gold and silver treasures, the lives of seven pairs of boys and girls were sacrificed!

The Athenians were scolding.

Fourteen children, representing fourteen lives, fourteen families!

The humiliated Athenians could no longer endure the oppression of the brutal Minoan king.

Theseus, who led the team, was the executioner who sent the child to the monster's mouth in the eyes of the Athenians!

Although the people of the royal palace have already explained that this time Prince Theseus will go to defeat the monster and return to Athens safely with the children, but the question is who will believe it?

Anyone can talk big!

The terrifying Minotaur is already difficult to defeat, let alone King Minos, who has stood on top of the world for many years?

The family of the child who has been selected has fallen out, and the parents have already cried until they faint.

Families who have not yet been selected are in constant fear, and hundreds of people have fled Athens with their families in the past few days.

Of course, more people chose to stay, only praying that disaster would not befall them, after all, the wandering life in a foreign land is not something that everyone can bear.

There are already some people who are dissatisfied with the inaction of the old king Aegeus, and now that the king of Minos is also old, it may be time......

The young Prince Theseus, who remained in the palace, knew that opposition was growing and that he needed to show goodwill to the Athenians now, otherwise it would be difficult for his father, Aegeus, to resist so much pressure on his behalf.

Theseus put on a suit of armor, he decided that he was going out hunting, and he wanted to prove himself to the people of Athens with his actions.

Just east of Athens, in the field called Marathon, there was a huge bison that had been inflicting havoc on the Attica region for many years, and all he had to do now was to get it back.

But it's a monster that's close to legend!

If he couldn't get this buffalo, then there was no point in him going to Crete, because the Minotaur was stronger than this buffalo.

In addition, if this giant beast that was endangering Attica could be killed, then Theseus's justification in front of the Athenians would be convincing, and the Athenian people would believe that he was not taking his children to Crete to die.

Speaking of this bison, it actually has a lot of origins.

Hercules captured it from Crete many years ago, and for some reason, Hercules had to let it go and leave it in the fields of Attica.

Theseus and Hercules, the great hero who ascended to heaven, are cousins, and their mother is a cousin.

Theseus also admired Hercules, and when he was young, Hercules visited his maternal grandfather, Pitheus.

Hercules fulfilled the twelve tasks of the gods, captured the Golden Fleece with the Argo, and conquered the most powerful city in Asia Minor, Hercules...... Everything he does can be said to be a legend in the world.

It's a pity that now, he is no longer in the world.

"What others can do, I Theseus can do!"

Theseus took a long breath, his gaze steady, he may not be able to sweep the world like his cousin, but at least the heart of meritorious deeds, they are the same!

The current Theseus is still far from the level of Hercules, but at least their mentality is very close.

Having put his armor in order and his sword with him, Theseus was about to call his retinue and set out when a servant suddenly ran in.

"Your Royal Highness, there are people outside asking to see you!"
