Chapter 122: Answering Questions and Solving Doubts
Achilles pushed open the door with great difficulty, and lay directly on the floor, which exhausted him from the night.
First, the inexplicable source power soared, and then he was suddenly so hungry that he wanted to go to the temple to fill his stomach, and he was shocked to see a large ant lying on the bed.
He still underestimated the weirdness of the world.
Thinking of Ikias and the rest of his servants, Achilles stood up again, and he had to tell Aekos about it.
Running upstairs and pushing open the door of Aeakos, before Achilles could speak, the voice of Aeakos was heard in the darkness.
"Achilles, what's wrong?"
Achilles gasped: "Grandpa, there are monsters in the temple!"
Aeakos got up and lit the oil lamp in the room, and Endeis, who was beside him, rubbed his eyes and got up.
There didn't seem to be any particular worry on Eakos's face, the servants in the temple were not ordinary people, and even if there were real monsters, he believed that those servants could solve them.
"Achilles, come over and talk slowly, what monster?"
Achilles walked over and sat at the foot of the bed, gasped and said, "I was in the temple just now, and I saw a big ant lying on a servant's bed, with such a big head!"
Achilles stretched out his hand and gestured, not noticing the strange expression on Aeakos' face.
"Grandpa, go and save them. ”
Aeakos didn't move, didn't even say a word, just frowned and looked strange, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
Endeith probably heard what was going on and couldn't help but laugh.
"Achilles, the ant...... Explain, old man!"
Endeith wanted to say something, but finding that he couldn't do it, he immediately pushed Aeakos on the shoulder.
Aeakos stroked his beard, "Achilles, here's how it ......"
"Goo-goo-goo......"
He was responded to by a loud scream in Achilles' stomach, which Achilles touched in embarrassment.
Endeis immediately got up, "Hungry, grandma will go and make you something to eat." ”
"Good. ”
Aeakos also spoke: "Then let's go down and talk." ”
Downstairs, Endeith quickly slipped into the kitchen, and Aeakos pulled Achilles to sit at the table.
"Achilles, the ant you see is not a monster. ”
"What's that?"
"It's the servants you usually see. ”
"What?" Achilles was simply taken aback, "will they turn into ants?"
Aeakos nodded, then shook his head, "To be exact, it's not that they become ants, but that they are transformed from ants. ”
Ants become humans? Why does it sound a little scary?
Eakos squinted slightly, as if recalling something.
"When I was young, there was a plague on the island, did I tell you about it?"
"Yes. ”
Achilles remembered very well that Aeachus had said that his mother, Aekina, had died of the plague.
"That time, everyone on the island died, and I was the only one left. Later, when my father came, he saw that the island was deserted and was ready to take me away, but I was reluctant to leave my mother and did not want to leave the island. But I was too young to be alone, so I begged him if he could bring some people to the island. ”
"And then?"
"And then?" said Aeakos, stroking his beard and shaking his head, smiling, "My father refused, and he said that even if he brought people, I was afraid that there would be a plague in the future." ”
Achilles understood that the plague was sent by Hera, the queen of heaven, and since he could come once, he could come twice, and there were not enough people on the island of Aena to die.
"My father said that if he was going to bring people, he would bring the kind of people who were not afraid of the plague. ”
Achilles blurted out: "How is this possible?"
The plague descended by Hera, even ordinary demigods can be poisoned, how can there be people who are not afraid of her plague.
"yes, that's what I asked at the time. ”
Aeakos smiled, "My father said that there are no such people now, and it doesn't mean that there will be no ones in the future. ”
He looked around the island and found that not only people, but all the animals were dead, except for one species of worm that was alive and fearless of the plague. ”
"What bugs?"
Achilles immediately woke up after asking, could it be an ant?
"These bugs are ants. Aeakos was about to continue, when Endeis came out with a bowl of mutton soup.
"Achilles, eat quickly. ”
"Thank you grandma. Achilles was not welcome, he was now hungry and thirsty, and drank the soup in three or two strokes of the bowl.
Two pieces of meat came out with a spoon, and Endeith immediately went to serve them to him.
Seeing that Achilles ate so well, Aeakus was a little hungry too.
"Wife, do you have anything else, bring me a bowl too!"
"Wait, I'll be right away. ”
When Endeis brought out the mutton soup, Aeakus didn't bother to explain it to Achilles, so he drank two bowls of it first.
I have to say that Endes's cooking skills are still good, as long as she doesn't add any medicine to it, the taste is still very first-class.
When he had eaten and drunk his fill, Aeakos continued: "After the plague of that year, only ants were left alive on the island, so my father used his magic power to turn some ants into people. ”
"That's why we inhabitants of the island of Aegina are called Milmidone. ”
Achilles knew that the word Milmidonene meant ant.
"The earliest generation of Milmidonian people lived a relatively short life, and now most of them have passed away, and the current inhabitants of the island are basically the second generation. ”
"So, so are the servants?"
"It's not. "They're all one of the few first-generation Mirmidonians still alive. ”
"The first generation of Mirmidones was special, if they knew how to cultivate, after reaching the hero level, they would regain their ant body after the sun went down. ”
The big ant he had just seen was not a monster, but a servant of Aeakos.
Thinking of his performance towards Ikias just now, even Achilles, who has always been thick-skinned, also felt blushing.
What a shame!
"When they regain their ant bodies, their intelligence becomes less than half of what they do during the day," Aeakos explained, "so I let them stay in the temple and not allow them to live at home. ”
No wonder there was not a single servant in the family of Aeakos, so it was.
Achilles remembered Ikias again, he had just changed as usual, wasn't he an ant-man?
"Grandpa, is Ikoyas an ant man?"
"He's yes, too, except for a cook who is in charge of cooking for them on weekdays, the rest of the temple is there. ”
Achilles was puzzled: "Then I looked at him just now, and he still looks like a human." ”
"It's also normal. Aearchus explained, "The first generation of Mirmidonies, if they reached the level of a god-tattooed hero, could suppress this change at night and appear in the form of daytime. However, there are too few such people, and Ikoyas is the only one. ”
Unexpectedly, Ikoas, who usually doesn't even dare to gasp for the atmosphere in front of Aeakos, is still a god pattern hero, are all masters so low-key?
