Chapter 51: Going and Returning
"We will rebuild Sparta, revive the warrior spirit, in the name of the god of war!"
The warrior completely ignored Magellan and told the witch with a sincere face about the bright future in his mind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I refuse. ”
Krytos nodded: "The god of war can't snatch the bride of the god of wine either. ”
Then the warrior and the witch moved on as if nothing had happened, leaving only one Magellan not knowing what to say.
Just as they were climbing the cliff along the path and about to enter the dense forest, there was an earthquake.
That's the real world falling apart, the sky spinning, people are just a speck of dust, I don't know if the next moment will fall into the abyss.
When the shaky world finally calmed down, Magellan looked around dizzily and everything was different.
Forests and hills are gone.
Overcast clouds obscured the sky, the earth was flat, and the dark brown ground was full of cracks.
The world is like a mirror, with hell on one side and a reflection of hell on the other.
The fighters disappeared.
"So ......"
Magellan looked at Medea, who was still beside him, and only halfway through his words, he found himself standing on a hillside outside the forest.
"It's all an illusion. ”
One of the sailors screamed and ran towards the camp, leaving one of his companions alone to face the two Magellans.
"What happened?"
The tall sailor raised a hand and pointed to the forest in the distance.
Magellan turned and saw the smoke rushing to the sky, and at the edge of the forest, the loud sound of giant trees bending and falling to the ground in the flames was endless.
"Hyena ......"
......
In the camp, Magellan saw the Count of Monte Cristo again, still gloomy.
"The hyenas aren't bothering anyone, they're just destroying the forest. ”
Magellan finally got rid of the subtle illusion of the forest and breathed the real air comfortably: "What do they know?"
"I don't know. ”
The tattoo on Medea's face returned, and she sat down beside the count with a smile: "The change in the forest comes from the fire over there. ”
"What's changed?"
The Earl's meaningful gaze swept over the two of them: "It seems that there are many things that I don't know about. ”
Magellan's brief account of what had happened to them in the forest drew the Count's madman-like gaze.
"So what are you going to do next?"
"I don't know ......"
The Earl stood up and nodded: "It's witchcraft, it looks like I can't help much, I wish you all the best." ”
"Wait," Magellan stopped the Count with a tired expression, "I can't enter the Crazy Forest again for a while, how much do we know about the hyenas?"
"We don't know anything about hyenas except that they're looking for trouble in the forest. ”
"The hyena is either eating carrion, or on its way to tracking the smell of rancidity...... They must have smelled something. ”
The Count shook his head and stepped out of the tent: "You need to rest. ”
Medea smiled and left, leaving Magellan alone in the tent.
......
The night is as black as ink, and there are no stars or moons.
Magellan put away his sword and yawned.
He lazily walked towards the camp, leaving a pungent blood trail in the air behind him.
......
One cloudy afternoon, Magellan slouched out of his tent and heard the surprised conversation of the sailors.
"The fire is out over there?"
Ignoring the gathered sailors, Magellan headed straight for Medea's tent.
"Are you ready?"
The witch smiled excitedly, like a child with a new toy.
Magellan smiled wryly back, and he sat down on the chaise longue with a look of lack of good sleep.
The smoke filled and the heaviness receded, and Magellan saw once again a witch as pure as a forest fairy.
Climbing up the hill and into the dense forest, you are greeted by a familiar scene, with winding forest paths and dimly lit scenery.
Not long after walking, they saw the statue of Dionysus.
The vines and the traces of weathering are still there, except for the lack of Satie, who drinks alcohol.
"Let me ask again, are you really going to perform a sacrifice?"
Magellan smiled wryly and walked to the feet of the god of wine and picked up the full glass of wine that had been placed there.
"I'm curious to see what madness in a crazy world would look like. ”
With that, he poured the wine into his mouth in one go.
The world began to distort.
Then everything goes back to normal.
Magellan took a deep breath and looked up.
He was greeted by a tall statue of Athena, with the goddess staring ahead and the goddess of victory fluttering her wings on her shoulder.
The forest no longer belonged to Bacchus, and everything returned to normal.
"It's ...... Succeeded?"
Medea's tone was confused and confused.
"I don't know. ”
Magellan turned around, and the forest was still a forest, and there was nothing he was looking for.
"Long time no see, Magellan. ”
Medea showed a look of surprise earlier than Magellan: "Athena!"
"Good afternoon, Goddess. ”
"Good afternoon, pretty witch. ”
Athena ignored Magellan and walked over to Medea, holding her long black hair with one hand and putting it to her mouth.
"You're ...... It's exciting......"
Magellan looked at the greed on the goddess's face and didn't know what kind of expression he should put on.
"You haven't experienced love yet. Athena kissed the witch's hair and smiled a seductive smile. "It's a shame that love is the most distant thing from the mind, and if you have that, you can understand a lot of things that you can't understand...... Something very important to witches. ”
Medea leaned lightly on the shoulders of the goddess, who was taller than her, "But I don't know how to fall in love with someone." ”
The goddess smiled, and her smile was full of confidence: "You are in love with me now." ”
The witch smiled, she looked up, glanced at Athena's face, and buried her blushing face in the goddess's chest.
Magellan turned around in embarrassment, sensing a subtle abnormality.
"It's time for a wedding. ”
The valiant goddess of war picked up the witch and strode towards the forest, where she smiled victoriously at Magellan: "Come, you can send us your blessings at the wedding." ”
Magellan began to run, and he ran as fast as he could, only to keep up with the goddess.
Then he rushed out of the forest and saw the reveling crowd.
This is on the streets of Athens.
The marble-paved avenues are filled with celebratory crowds with white doves flying overhead, and people are following in the footsteps of the goddess.
"I am the god of lovelorns, the master of Athens, the mother of the Amazons, the goddess of same-sex love, and today, I have a lover!"
The goddess's loud announcement made the crowd boil, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement, except for Magellan.
"Do you love me, Medea?"
"I love you!"
Athena swirled in the crowd with the witch in her arms, like a pair of pure white flowers.
