Chapter 117: Tears of the Sea God
The servant drove Aeakus and Achilles home, and Aeakus immediately told Endiis and Psamata the good news that Achilles had reached the rank of warrior.
Endeius seemed very happy, and repeatedly praised Achilles for his success.
Psamata didn't have any expression, after all, she really didn't care about this, but for the sake of the family's joy, she also praised Achilles twice.
Eakos sat down for a while, then got up again and went out to slaughter cattle and sheep for the great feast of the evening.
Strange to say, when he was in the temple on the mountain, Aeakos lived like an emperor.
There were about thirty or forty servants in the temple, and Aeakus was quick to call and go, and he didn't need to do anything, but when he returned home, things changed immediately.
Not to mention killing cattle and sheep, even if it is carrying water and chopping firewood, he has to do it himself.
Endeith also went out, as if he was going to buy something and come back for dinner in the evening, probably some special potion.
To tell the truth, Achilles was not sensitive to this, and no matter what Endeis did, he made up his mind not to eat.
Only Psamata was left sitting indifferently at the table.
"Achilles, come here. ”
Psamat beckoned to Achilles.
"What's wrong, Auntie?"
Psamata hesitated for a moment and asked, "You...... Is it a great thing to be a warrior?"
"Don't get me wrong. Psamata then explained, "I don't mean to mock you, it's just that I really don't know anything about it. ”
"Maybe it's not a big deal. ”
Achilles thought about it, becoming a warrior doesn't seem to be a big event worth celebrating, maybe it will be a big deal when he becomes a hero or even a hero in the future.
Psamata breathed a sigh of relief, "Originally, I thought I should give you a gift if this matter was important." But you can also see it now, Auntie is so poor, it seems that there is nothing to give you. ”
Psamata tugged at her own clothes, which were only slightly better than those worn by the servants, and said that she was really poor.
Achilles was about to faint.
This aunt really looks like a beautiful daughter from an ordinary family, but when she says poor, she must mean that she doesn't have gold, silver, jewelry, or other things.
Not every god will turn a stone into a gold spell.
Achilles rolled his eyes, and immediately said, "Auntie, although this is not an important matter, I heard that if a junior becomes a warrior, the elders of the family should give some gifts!"
Psamata's brows immediately furrowed, and she was a little embarrassed: "That's it...... So, can't you see it off?"
"Okay, if you hate me, you don't have to. Achilles spread his hands and pretended not to care.
Psamata rested her elbows on the table and leaned over with her fingers rubbing her brows, looking distressed.
To tell the truth, she really doesn't have any money, and she can't turn stones into gold, so she only has a few copper plates in her pocket, and she still collects them out of boredom in her spare time.
For the first time, as a god, Psamata was worried about gold.
"Auntie, in fact, the gift is not necessarily gold, you have any magical treasures that can be used as gifts. ”
Achilles looked like a wealth obsessed with Psamat, such as the conch given by Aunt Ann Fei in the past, or the feather given by Styx, wouldn't the more things like this, the better.
Psamata frowned and thought for a while, still a little worried.
Many years ago, she was forcibly brought to the island of Aegina by Aeakos, and she didn't bring anything with her, so she was simply "destitute".
Seeing that Psamata seemed to be really embarrassed, Achilles felt that he had to let her go.
Unlike Amphitrite, a "rich" man, Achilles could see that Psamatte did not refuse to give him gifts because he was stingy.
"Actually, I'll just say it casually, Auntie, don't take it to heart. It's just that you give me some kind of great treasure, in fact, I can't use it. ”
Achilles, who was comforting the "poor ghost" aunt, had just finished speaking, and suddenly saw Psamat's eyes light up.
Originally, Psamata really couldn't think of giving Achilles anything as a gift, but what Achilles just said reminded her.
Wouldn't it be nice to give Achilles something he could use?
"Achilles, you wait a minute, I'll go get something. ”
As she spoke, Psamata hurried upstairs.
Achilles sat at the table and waited, and he also wanted to know what the gift that suddenly came to mind for this aunt was.
Anyway, it was boring to wait, Achilles closed his eyes and once again activated the source force vortex in his body.
Unlike before, when you had to be on a mountain road or in a square to perceive the source qi, Achilles can now feel the source qi even if he sits at home and closes his eyes.
It's a little faint, but it's much better than before.
Aeakos once said that once he enters the warrior level, his perception will be greatly improved in a short period of time, and Achilles is in such a state now, and it is obviously not his limit now.
When the vortex of source force in his body completely stabilized, Achilles' perception would only be stronger than it was now.
Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps on the floor, Achilles opened his eyes, and in a few moments Psamatte came down from the stairs.
"Achilles, this is a gift from your aunt!"
Psamata changed her face and smiled as she handed Achilles a glass bottle containing a blue liquid.
"Auntie, what is this?"
Achilles asked curiously, and then suddenly his face changed, could this be medicine?
This is the secret medicine made by Endaeus before, it looks unusual, and it looks good, but it turns out that it is no different from poison when you drink it.
Psamata didn't notice Achilles' expression and said, "This is called the Tears of the Sea God." ”
Doesn't sound like a potion, Achilles picked up the small glass bottle and looked at it carefully, then glanced at Psamatte suspiciously.
"This is...... Are you crying?"
"What?"
Psamata was stunned for a moment and then reacted, and explained with a smile: "What, it's just this name, and it's not really Poseidon tears." ”
"Oh, what is this for?" asked Achilles, shaking the vial in his hand.
Psamatte explained, "Actually, this thing is condensed from the essence of a special spring water in the depths of the ocean, which can be considered a material, but you can also use it as a potion. ”
