Chapter 142: The Test Mission of Charon
Charon said that he heard Achilles and Telamon talking, indicating that he had been near the cave for the past few days!
But he just didn't show up, and today Telamon just left during the day, and he came back in the evening!
Charon is hiding from Telamon!
I don't know what's going on, but Charon must not want to meet with Telamon!
And Charon didn't notice that he had slipped out, and perhaps he didn't think that a child could think of anything from his words.
Stretching out his hand and pointing at the green fruit in Achilles' hand, "Are you hungry?"
Achilles nodded, he had eaten so much now that he couldn't even eat at all.
Achilles thought that the fruit in his hand was a pre-dinner snack brought to him by Caron, so he subconsciously picked it up and took a bite.
But something unexpected happened!
With Achilles' current teeth, he can't even bite this fruit!
It felt like he was biting on a piece of bronze, and Achilles' teeth ached.
What the hell is this?
Achilles took the fruit from his mouth and looked at it in a daze, feeling a little speechless.
You must know that with his current teeth, even a cow leg bone can bite a gap, and now he can't get a fruit?
Charon was amused by Achilles' "stupid" move.
"Boy, this thing isn't for food. ”
Achilles had not yet woken up from his stunned stupor, and he barely came back to his senses when he heard Charon's words.
"So what is this for?"
Charon reached out and took the green fruit from Achilles' hand and placed it under Achilles' nose.
"This thing is called the moon fruit, if you are hungry, smell it. ”
This thing is really refreshing Achilles' brain hole again, it's just black technology.
There was a faint smell of cold from the tip of his nose, and if he hadn't been so close, Achilles wouldn't have known that the fruit still had a fragrance.
Achilles' face suddenly looked a little strange, and he suddenly felt as if he was not so hungry, no, as if he was already full.
Caron took his hand away and asked, "How do you feel?"
Achilles opened his mouth to answer, when a full burp couldn't help but run out of his mouth.
"Hiccup~"
"Haha. ”
Charon couldn't help but laugh, and then threw the moon-eating fruit back to Achilles.
"I gave it to you. ”
Achilles hurriedly put it away, and he also knew that this thing would be his long-term meal ticket in the future, so how could he not have a snack?
When he had put his things away, Achilles remembered the letter that Endeis had given him, and he should have taken it out at this time.
Turning back and turning the letter out of the thatched pile where he usually slept, Achilles handed it to Charon.
"Hello, this is a letter from my grandmother Endeis to you. ”
Charon took it, opened it, looked at it twice, closed the letter again, and stared at Achilles with his messy eyes.
"Do you want to worship me as a teacher?"
Achilles thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes. ”
Although Achilles appointed him to come to Karon to learn art at first, to tell the truth, Achilles himself wanted to come.
The name of the Hero Mentor is not blown up!
"I see. ”
Charon nodded, and then spoke, "Actually, I have already made up my mind not to accept apprentices. ”
"Why?" Achilles asked, a little puzzled and a little anxious.
Charon gave Achilles a deep look, "I once had an apprentice, and I lived with him for a long time. He learned his skills by my side, and one day he finally became a hero, and I thought I had taught him everything about me, so I let him go down the mountain with peace of mind. But then I realized that I had not taught him enough, like some of the most basic things of being a human being, he had not learned them, and I was disappointed. ”
Achilles probably knew who the man Caron was talking about.
Absolutely him!
Iason's father, Esson, died early, and Iason was sent to the cave of Piliwen at a very young age, with Caron as his master.
But Iazon's performance after coming down the mountain was so disappointing that I thought I had heard of it when I came to Caron.
"At that time, I was thinking, although I can teach people skills, but I can't teach them how to behave. ”
Caron's slightly old voice came, "Only where there are people can a person be taught how to become a hero in the soul, and Pingdasi Mountain, no." ”
Achilles' itchy teeth, of course, were not for Charon, but for Iason.
This scum actually made Keron begin to doubt his teaching level.
Originally, Caron was suspicious, and this is nothing, but the problem is that he wants to worship Charon as a teacher!
If Charon doesn't take in the disciples, what will he do?
Go back to Fothea or go to Aegina?
But the good thing is that things don't go in the worst direction that Achilles thought.
"Originally, I decided not to accept any more apprentices, but ......," Karon said, "you are different from others, you are the grandson of Endeis, and you are all in front of the cave of Piliwen, and I can't say anything if I don't accept you." ”
"Mmmm, thank you. ”
Achilles nodded hurriedly, and suddenly felt fortunate in his heart, fortunately he had this bloodline relationship, otherwise he would have to go back to his hometown.
"Come with me. ”
Charon took a deep look at Achilles, and then walked towards the cave, where Achilles followed him.
This was the first time Achilles had entered the Pyrivan Cave in the long time since he had been on Mount Pondasi.
Walking through the hole, the ground was not dirt but a slightly hard rocky texture, on which Charon's hooves made a crisp "tapping" sound.
About twenty meters down the passage is a circular hall with several burning torches stuck in the walls, illuminating the cave.
The hall is surrounded by eight passages, some of which are blocked with stone slabs to seal the openings, while others are not.
Achilles looked at it carefully, and the number on both sides was exactly five or five.
Charon walked between the halls and turned to look at Achilles, his hands clasped to his chest, and his elongated figure draped over Achilles.
Charon stretched out his hand and pointed to the unblocked passage around him, "Achilles, it's not early today, you can choose one for yourself." Then he said: "Regarding the matter of apprenticeship, I don't have so many rules here, you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach, it's as simple as that." ”
Achilles breathed a sigh of relief, he was still a little worried, and Telamon didn't tell him what the apprenticeship process was, since Charon said that everything should be simple, it would be better.
"But I don't have no requests for apprenticeship, tomorrow when the sun rises, I will wait for you at the top of Pondath Mountain, you better arrive in front of me with the sun. ”
"Yes, I see. ”
