The blood on the hands was golden. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

By the time Magellan heard the voice, the arrow had already left a scar on his face, and it was only because it was too fast that the pain came from the wound.

He sneered, flapped his wings, and disappeared into a loud blast.

The archers bent their bows one after the other and fired three arrows, leaving a drop of golden blood and pure white feathers in the air, but Magellan did not appear.

When he finally appeared, the three warriors were defeated without a fightback.

Magellan pressed the warrior's face and flew over the ground, where a deep furrow was plowed out.

The ground was devastated, Magellan spread his wings, suspended in the air, towering, with a face that did not belong to humans, like a god.

But he had a question in his heart: "Since I am the master of this world, why hasn't Athena appeared yet?"

Magellan disappeared with a thunderclap, and he was as fast as lightning, and in an instant he circled the island, surrounded on all sides by oceans, and there was only jungle on the island.

He landed lightly where the essence had gathered, the woods had long since been razed to the ground, and this was now a dirt slope.

There is nothing here.

Magellan's wings flapped, and a terrifying wind appeared out of thin air, blowing away the dirt and sand, and the entire island was flattened.

But he still didn't see what he wanted.

For the first time, Magellan, who was as powerful and invincible as a god, felt confused.

He gradually came to his senses.

The feeling of invincibility dissipated, and people couldn't help but feel nostalgic, Magellan fell to the ground and changed back to the appearance of ordinary people.

But he prefers the feeling of a clear mind, which is why he likes the "sun" so much. Magellan smiled, thinking that he was really stupid and cute just now.

It was unrecognizable, but there was still the sun in the sky, and he took his bearings and walked towards the cabin from which he had come.

One way or another, Athena's ordeal won't be here.

It didn't take long for Magellan to see lonely wooden houses on the bare hillside. The door to the hut was open, and he walked straight inside.

As soon as he wanted to greet the old man, Magellan saw himself lying on the ground.

His expression was serene, and he lay upright, flat.

Magellan looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face that he hadn't seen for a long time, and involuntarily bent down. The man on the ground was still asleep, and Magellan reached out to his arm, trying to shake him awake.

At that moment, Magellan was in a trance, and then found himself lying on the ground.

Although there were oil lamps and a bonfire in the wooden house, it was still dark, and everything was blurry.

"You're awake. For the first time, the old man spoke to Magellan in such a soft tone.

"What happened?"

"What do you dream about the most often things witches do?"

"Dream of ......," Magellan shook his head, "can't witches see what happens in dreams?"

"This is the dream that Aphrodite's priests prepared for Athena, and I only know that you passed the test. ”

"That's good, but I really didn't expect Aphrodite to do such a thing......"

Magellan got up from the ground, still feeling a little confused.

"Go back, go find Tara. ”

"Good. ”

Magellan turned to leave, and the moment he walked out the door, he heard the old man's voice: "Try to fall in love with her, that's a good girl." ”

He shook his hand and smiled.

There was silence in the forest, and birds chirping could be heard in the distance.

Magellan finally accepted that everything that had just happened was a dream, but he still had a real feeling when he recalled those scenes.

Walking down the hill, he saw Tara in front of the village.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"Yes," Tara smiled as she walked up to Magellan and bent down to look into his eyes, "your eyes are black, it's rare......"

"What are you doing?"

"It is said that Athena's test will cause unqualified people to die or become insane, and I am looking to see if you have lost your mind. ”

Magellan shook his head: "I don't know much about ......"

"Anyway, you've passed the test now, and that's an absolute good thing. Tara said and patted Magellan on the shoulder, "Hurry up and fall in love with me, you won't regret it!"

Magellan shook his head helplessly: "But I don't know how to fall in love with someone." ”

Tara led him towards the village, taking out a small bottle: "This is the love potion, drink it, and you will fall in love with the first person you see, which is me." ”

Magellan took the bottle, smiled and drank it all: "You're so beautiful, well, it's no difference." ”

"Forget it," Tara snatched the bottle, "it seems that Aphrodite doesn't like you, it's a pity that I'm so good, you don't love me, so I'll have to fall in love with someone else." ”

Magellan was speechless and had to remain silent, letting this nonsensical conversation end.

"Outsiders rarely pass the test, but now that you've succeeded, we can help you. Tara put her arm around Magellan's shoulder, "But before then, you have one more thing to do." ”

"What?"

"Don't worry, eat first. ”

......

The dinner was richer than Magellan could have imagined.

The girls wrap the meat in the leaves of a plant and grill it, then sprinkle it with salt, which gives it a special taste.

It seems that because of that kind of leaf, not a piece of meat has a completely different taste.

This time, Magellan turned out to be the one who couldn't get up.

"It's nice tonight, so you can sleep here. Tara and her companions cleared the clearing and spread a golden animal skin around the campfire.

"Thank you. ”

Magellan hummed pleasantly, lying on the hide, counting the stars in the sky.

"Why did you start doing it?"

Just as he was about to fall asleep, Tara's voice rang in his ears.

"I found a buried ancient temple of Theros Athena, but I couldn't open it, and then I found a message left by the builder of the temple, and I did what it said, and I came all the way here. ”

"It's a shame, you don't look like a hero with the blood of a god. ”

"You have a point, but I don't feel ashamed. Magellan laughed and snorted, "I'm an explorer, not a hero." ”

"Don't lie, do you think I don't understand?" Tara smiled as well, "You have the mark of a descendant of Helios in the depths of your eyes, you are a true hero." ”

Magellan let out a burst of laughter: "It turns out that the meaning of hero is that, then you say that I am me." ”

"Are you the prince of the city-state of Theros, Athens, Sparta, Thebais, or the king?"

"I'm an ordinary ......," Magellan didn't know what to say, "Chinese." ”

"Is there such a country in the world?"

"Actually, I'm from another world. ”

Tara smiled.
