Medea lifted an arm feebly, and in the direction of her finger, Magellan saw a tall centaur. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a strong man with a white beard, and unlike the other centaurs, he was fully armoured, and the spear in his hand was more than a sharpened stick.

When the centaurs charged, he stayed behind, and when his people were teased by Satie, he was indifferent, but when the centaurs were all gone, the elder blew the horn.

The centaurs who had been lying on the ground woke up, staggered to their feet, and staggered to Satie's laughter, raising their fists and slamming them into the places where they were laughing, only to hit their companions.

The Satie left behind the bodies of their companions and left laughing maniacally, leaving only the angry centaurs yelling at each other and fighting each other.

The farce didn't end until Charon came to the idol and stopped the chaotic centaur, but Satie's mocking laughter still echoed through the woods.

Magellan couldn't get up with all his strength, and he reluctantly contributed to Sati's laughter, watching Charon and the centaur leave together.

The forest was silent.

Medea finally had the strength to stand up, she looked at the place where the centaur had disappeared, and then turned back to face the statue of Dionysus.

"Satie are a family of the god of wine, and at least in this forest, they are immortal. ”

Magellan watched as the Saties, who were lying on the ground with horrible wounds, got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, and played with each other, not knowing whether to laugh or express shock.

"So it's witchcraft?"

"Nope. ”

"Is that divine power?"

"Nope. ”

Magellan leaned against the tree beside him, knowing in his heart what the unspoken answer was to Medea.

As long as he lives in this dense forest, Satie has an immortal body, which is a magical creature beyond human imagination.

"Let's go, we can't get anything out of Satie's mouth but jokes. ”

Medea nodded, and the two of them tiredly caught up in the direction Charon had left.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but there is a strange smell in the forest, like the changes brought about by the gathering of essences that are difficult for humans to feel, and like the subtle influence of the witchcraft that Magellan used to keep himself here, but the smell of wine in the air makes people more willing to believe that it is the wonderful atmosphere brought by the owners of this place, the Saties.

Wherever centaurs passed, they always left their hoof prints and scratches on tree trunks as they wielded their weapons indiscriminately. So although Magellan and his wife walked slowly, they did not lose their goal in the dense forest, where it was easy to get lost.

Walking through a narrow and depressing hillside in the dense forest, when Magellan walked to the top of the hillside, his eyes suddenly opened up.

A cliff cut through the dense forest, and below were bare hills, and the stubborn grass peeked out from among the huge rocks.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, with an unobstructed view of the hills, and in the distance is where the centaurs gather, who do not build houses, but only gather on a large flat land.

"Charon won't stay with his kind. ”

Medea took Magellan to the right along the edge of the cliff, and after two rounds of going in and out of the forest, Magellan saw a round hut made of wood in a clearing in the forest.

The white-haired centaur stood right in front of the hut, and he seemed to know that the two were coming.

"Welcome, guests from outside the forest. ”

Magellan bowed his head to greet the tall old man, and Charon ushered the two into the house.

"I hope you don't think it's rude for me to bring out clear water to entertain you, after all, my people are plagued by wine, so I don't like it. ”

Charon seems to have been well acquainted with Medea, and thanks to the witches, Magellan was received far better than a stranger deserved.

"As long as Bacchus doesn't get angry, I don't care. ”

Elder Centaur smiled inscrutablely, "Bacchus rarely gets angry about such things, because he is always too drunk to see me. ”

This sentence seems to be the beginning, and then Medea and Charon begin to discuss the witchcraft of the Dionysian fanatics, and later Magellan. The centaur was intrigued by the witchcraft he had tricked into the forest, and when questioned, Charon inadmissibly mentioned that he was locked up in the forest.

"I believe that Athena is better than Dionysus, but at the end of the day, I respect the gods, but I don't believe in them. ”

After a long conversation, Magellan's patience finally ran out, and he decided to get down to business: "Have you ever met a Captain Theros here who believes in Athena?"

Although the Centaur Elder was a little surprised by this question, he still gave a simple answer: "No. ”

Magellan believed that Charon would not be mistaken, so he did not hide his disappointment in the slightest.

"Don't give up too quickly, everyone in this forest except Bacchus will only get the wrong answer. ”

This sentence left Magellan confused.

"Everything in the forest is Dionysian sorcery, not even time, and perhaps after ten years of waiting here, you will see the captain walk into the forest for the first time. ”

Medea's explanation not only did not make Magellan understand what she meant, but only made him even more confused.

Then the Centaur Elder gave an answer that he could understand: "If you want to find the captain or something that the captain left behind, you will never find it." ”

"And what can be found?"

"That's a question, but maybe you've got half of the answer," Charon nodded distractedly, his white beard swaying, "Bacchus has always been hostile to Athena, do you know why?"

"Because Bacchus did not like Athena's sanity. ”

"No, Dionysus thinks he is the true god of wisdom. ”

Magellan shook his head speechlessly.

"What does this have to do with me looking for something?"

"I don't know. Charon shook his head as a matter of course, "However, you are now in the Dionysian forest, and it is important to know that. ”

Magellan was silent, a vague thought flashing through his mind.

He had wondered many times why a devotee of Athena could enter the Dionysian forest. This is an unsolvable problem, and even Magellan himself cannot be considered to have actually entered the forest. But perhaps Charon's statement is the key to the answer.

"So," Magellan said to Medea with a puzzled look on his face, "what do you think only those who have lost their minds can see, the truth of the world?"

"I've always thought so, so my witchcraft has never failed. ”

The witch's face was taken for granted, Magellan was speechless, he looked around, imagining what the world looked like through Medea's eyes.
