Chapter 39: Medusa
Canakas looked at Yorkton's puzzled expression, and had to say helplessly, "Okay, now it's my turn to explain." It's something that's explicitly written in the Book of Demon Hunting. I say things because he is neither a demon nor a monster. They are pure descendants of God. The Book of Demon Hunters calls them 'ugly demons', which is very much in line with their image. ”
In order for Yorkton to know more about the origin of this 'ugly demon'. Karnacas gave him a further explanation. Of course, the man also "learned" a little.
Medusa was originally the premier beauty of the divine realm. And her sister Athena is equally beautiful.
It's just that Athena's beauty is just a little bit worse than Medusa.
Did this cause Athena to be jealous? No, it didn't.
The sisters are still close and inseparable. But even the gods can't escape the tricks of fate.
The gods of all walks of life salivated over Medusa, and then went into a frenzied chase.
This has led to a lot of incidents. There is even a tendency to provoke wars between the gods.
So their father Zeus came up with a way to send Medusa to Poseidon to the temple of the deep sea and hid her.
Zeus thought that this would temporarily calm things down and restore peace to the divine realm.
But it backfired, and something worse happened.
That's right, as you guessed. Medusa was taken by Poseidon, who was her uncle......
Blame Zeus, the bastard, for underestimating himself and his brother.
A womanizer actually sent his beautiful daughter to a more lascivious brother.
So even if he had relatives, it didn't stop Poseidon from finally being tempted to do something stupid.
As a result, Poseidon looked for a "suitable" opportunity and raped Medusa......
The implications of this incident are too far-reaching. This incident directly led to the outbreak of the God-King War between Zeus and Poseidon.
Later, no one could kill anyone, and the two brothers simply broke up and did not see each other.
But Athena didn't stop there, and her war with Poseidon has continued ever since.
So this incident even indirectly led to the collapse of the rule of the gods of Olympus. also directly left behind the "ugly demon" that will plague future generations.
After Poseidon raped Medusa, he left behind the seed of iniquity. Grief-stricken, Medusa learned from the pain and felt that everything was due to beauty.
So she put a terrible curse on her children.
Her children and all future generations will be ugly. And you can reproduce on your own, and you don't need and can't have love......
And just like that, the ugly demon was born.
But these ugly demons were not only cursed by Medusa, but also inherited the original nature of Medusa and Athena. That is, they are all beautiful......
Therefore, the ugly demons who love beauty and are born extremely ugly have been passed down from generation to generation.
When they walk by the river, they will be jealous of the toad when they see it, and the toad looks better than themselves.
They also want to be beautiful, but they also want to have a normal life and emotions. So they gradually found a way......
They will kill some people they envy and then turn them into "blood slaves".
That is, through their divine powers, they can invest their spirit into the body of the blood slave. Then he used the identity of a blood slave to live the original life of a blood slave.
That way they can have everything they could only dream of. Friendship, love, family, the appearance of normal people......
Of course, there is a certain pattern in their choice of targets, that is, they will choose people with beautiful faces.
So now this man who is in pain is unlucky because his wife and daughter are too beautiful......
And the only thing that puzzled Kanakas a little was that. According to the Book of Demon Hunting. There has never been a precedent for two ugly demons to "commit a crime together".
And each ugly demon can't put its spirit head on two people at the same time.
So what happened to this man's daughter and wife becoming blood slaves at the same time?
Canakas was thinking about it and muttering at the same time.
So Yorkton continued: "That's two ugly demons acting at the same time." When you're fine, you look at each other and think you're looking better. ”
After listening to Yorkton's words, Canakas looked at him for a long time. Suddenly I thought maybe he was right!
But then the man asked, "No matter what kind of devil they are, you must be able to kill them if you are so powerful, right?"
Yorkton pursed his lips and said, "I know you're desperate for revenge." But I'm a person who doesn't like to promise things that I might not be able to do. Especially after I lost so badly. So I have to tell you, maybe we can kill them. But it's also possible that we'll be killed by them. So ......"
"Let me be with you. The man said.
Karnacas shook his head and said, "Then we will have to avenge you again." You're lucky to have a life back. Find a new woman to start a family and live a good life. I don't like, you hurry up!"
But the man straightened his back and said, "I used to be a good warrior too. I hid here just for my family. I can help. ”
Canakas said helplessly, "Look at this guy with a sword. He alone can top a hundred good warriors. Why do I need one more?"
"Can I find their lair, can you?" said the man.
This remark piqued the interest of Karnacas. Indeed, it is not easy to find the essence of the ugly demon. So Canakas said, "If you know something, say it, and go away." ”
Canakas is certainly not a heartless man, but he must treat this man with indifference. Because that's how it saves his life.
But the man said firmly, "If you don't take me, I won't tell you." ”
"I'll kill you if I don't say anything!" Yorkton had already raised his greatsword.
"You won't. I can see that you are witchers. You protect humanity and don't kill people. The man said, stalking his neck.
Yorkton snorted coldly and said, "How stupid! You can't even see that I'm a knight?" and you said you were once a good warrior?"
The man still insisted, "If you don't care about other people's lives or deaths, you don't need to hunt down that ugly demon, do you? So, you're not going to kill me. ”
"What are you waiting for, cut down!" said Canakas, glaring at Yorkton.
Yorkton returned the salute with a "medieval contempt face" from Karnacas, then turned around and walked away, saying, "Let's go, we don't care." ”
Canakas sighed and said, "Forget it." Don't pretend. He won't be fooled. Let's take him with us. ”
Yorkton reluctantly walked back and said, "Okay." Just take it with you. But don't expect us to protect you all the time. No one can be completely sure of the safety of others or themselves. ”
The man walked silently towards his former home. Then rummaged through the rubble.
He searched for a long time, and finally pulled a long sword out of it with great difficulty.
Yorkton looked at it and said, "Look at this sword, it's really a first-class product." It should be a meritorious service and a reward. ”
When the man dragged his wounded body and grieving soul to Canakas and Yorkton again. Yorkton said, "Well, since we're going to play with our lives together." Tell us your name. ”
"Call me Rost. My name is Rost. ”
"Okay Rost. I'm Yorkton, he's Karnacas. Lead the way...... Let's hack a few ugly monsters to death and have fun......"
