307, Beauty and the Beast
Not only are they powerful, but adult Lothmons often have an innate ability to roar and shock people's souls and minds. Even ordinary great warriors don't dare to fight head-to-head one-on-one when they encounter it, and a fifth-level warrior like Helen who doesn't have much actual combat experience is even more unlikely to be an opponent, but fortunately, Medanzo stopped the monster's attack in time.
There was a roar, and Alexander felt his whole body go limp, almost losing consciousness. Medanzo's Key of Destiny unfolded at the right time and the golden light enveloped the Lothmon, isolating this soul impact, Alexander came back to his senses and found Helen trembling in his arms, and quickly patted her on the back and said, "You don't have to be afraid, it's okay!"
Helen also felt that the soul-shaking impact disappeared, raised her head on Alexander's chest, her lips were slightly white, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the battle situation over there, and then exclaimed: "Oh my God, you are such a powerful warrior!"
I saw Medanzo wielding the golden shuttle, which was extremely majestic and dazzling, forcing the huge Lothmon to retreat again and again, wanting to escape but there was no way to escape. The trees broke off and the sand and stones flew sideways, but the flying sand and rocks could not reach beyond the golden light. Although this Losmon was powerful, it was easy for Medanzo to clean it up, but the divine envoy deliberately made the scene so intense.
At this time, in front of the little prince and Miss Helen, how could he miss the good opportunity to be in the limelight? The Loes beast was also unlucky, and became the unjust leader who was sent to the door to cooperate with Medanzo to perform all kinds of gorgeous methods, and the golden light of the key of fate diffused, setting off Medanzo in the fierce battle like a god.
And Alexander told Helen the truth with regret: "I am not a warrior, and Medanzo is here to protect me." You don't have to worry, Medanzo's skills are very big, and the little monster is no match for him at all. ”
Seeing that Medanzo was so imposing, Alexander was also envious in his heart, but he soon had another feeling. Although Helen turned her head to look at the fierce battle over there, her hands still held his waist and did not let go, the touching warm fragrance was in her arms, and Alexander's heart was beating very fast.
Is it Medanzo who fights with monsters in a chic way, or Alexander who has a beautiful woman in his arms who is comfortable?
Medanzo, who was in the midst of the fight, took the time to look back, and found Helen hiding in Alexander's arms, but staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, realizing that this scene might have scared the girl. So he didn't dwell on it anymore, and with a soft shout, the golden light turned into a rope and bound the Looth Beast, and then a golden divine inscription was imprinted in the center of the Looth Beast's huge head and disappeared, and the monster that was rushing left and right was immediately honest.
Out of nowhere, Medanzo took out a translucent yellow rope and tied it to the nose of the losmon, leading it out of the already devastated forest. The Loothmon, which was extremely fierce just now, is now as well-behaved as a pet dog. Alexander reluctantly let go of Helen and asked with concern, "You're not hurt, are you?"
Medanzo shook his head and said, "It's just a Los Beast, how can it hurt me?"
Helen was very uneasy, walked over and looked Medanzo up and down, and then reached out and pinched his arm to make sure that he was really not injured, and then held his chest and exclaimed: "You are really an amazing hero, stronger than those heroes in legends...... I apologize to you for suggesting this path into Macedonia and for protecting you. If you're really just a scholar, I'm afraid I'll hurt you, thankfully......"
Alexander interrupted her and said, "How can you blame this? ...... Remember the story of the Macedonian Mission? Medanzo was one of the two heroes who rescued the Mission in the first place, but he was very humble and did not say his name. ”
Medanzo is humble and low-key? The sun really comes out in the west! This is the first time he has received this kind of evaluation. He and Alexander had a private affair in the city-state to which the Aaron League belonged, so naturally their identities would not be revealed, which could be regarded as a low-key affair. Helen, on the other hand, looked at Medanzo with adoration and said, "You are so remarkable!"
Medanzo waved his hand and said very "modestly": "It's just a gesture, don't praise me." ...... Miss Helen, I'm sorry to have frightened you, and I've asked this Loesmon to make amends to you. The mountain road is difficult, so let this Loess beast carry you into Macedonia. ”
Two days later, the three men walked out of the mountains and appeared on the plains of Macedonia. Two handsome men with such a beautiful girl, who did not ride a horse or a chariot, actually rode a Los Beast! Although Medanzo led the Los Beast without saying a word, it was also invisibly majestic, and it was impossible to keep a low profile.
The presence of these men quickly alarmed the local garrison and local officials, and a patrol army arrived on horseback. Helen saw it from a distance, and said worriedly: "How should we explain the interrogation of the patrolling army?"
Alexander smiled slightly: "You don't have to explain anything, just sit down." ”
As soon as the soldiers who arrived saw the appearance of these three people, they listened to the order of the leading officer, and everyone dismounted and knelt on the ground to salute. Helen learned from the officer's salute that Alexander was the prince of Macedonia. She also hurriedly jumped off the Lothmon and saluted Alexander: "Your Highness, please forgive me, I don't know your identity, what a rude journey this way!"
Alexander lifted her up with his own hand and said: "Girl, I am a private servant, you have nothing to be rude, on the contrary, this is the happiest trip of my life, I really don't know how to thank you! Now that you know my identity, I hope you can be as less restrained as before in the future, hurry up and get on the Lothmon, let's continue on our way." ”
Now that he had been recognized, and with such a striking Beauty and the Beast, Alexander could no longer have taken a private trip, and he returned to the royal capital in the reception of local officials and escorted by local garrisons.
...... The two things that the people of Macedonia have talked about the most recently: King Philip II returned to his army in triumph, held a grand ceremony, and led the people to sacrifice to Zeus and thank the gods for blessing Macedonia. Another thing is that Prince Alexander returned from a private visit, and actually led a fierce Loess beast and brought back the most beautiful girl in the world, which also became a symbol of the gods' blessing to Macedonia!
Helen came to Macedonia and could have lived in a palace or a inn, but she said: "I have the savings and the skills to protect myself and to support myself, so I rent a courtyard in the middle of the city of Macedonia." ”
Alexander was not reluctant, and with his help, Helen rented a nice compound as soon as she entered the city. Alexander sent maids and servants to take care of her daily life, and this time Helen did not refuse the kindness of His Royal Highness. For the rest of the day, Medanzo still traveled with Alexander often, and when the two of them were fine, they always liked to run to Helen.
After the return of Philip II, he reorganized and trained a new army to deal with various military and political affairs. Alexander was his most important assistant, and therefore also busy, and did not have much free time. So Medanzo spent more and more time alone in Helen, and for a while he spent almost every day there. He had nothing else to do, he liked to listen to Helen, and when he looked at her smile, he almost didn't live in her house.
As for the Loess beast that Medanzo had captured, Alexander had ordered the construction of a sturdy and comfortable cage to keep it. It was not easy to capture such a powerful monster alive, and Alexander had a bold and bizarre idea that he wanted to try to tame this monster and perhaps play a greater role in battle.
But Lothmon was almost untamable, and it was willing to walk with Helen so honestly only because it was bound by Medanzo's great power. Seeing that the attempt was unsuccessful, Alexander found another way to invite all the great magicians in the country who were good at summoning divine arts, and tried to make a soul contract with this powerful monster, but it was also unsuccessful.
So Alexander begged Medanzo again, and Medanzo wanted to show off in front of Helen, so he took Helen with him to tame the Lothmon, but he tried to make a soul contract with him, but he was unsuccessful. Among Amun's disciples, Celia Wakasui was the most proficient in summoning magic, while Medanzo was not good at it.
Having lost a man in front of Helen, Medanzo was not discouraged, and he begged Amon again. Of course, Amon knew what was going on, but he didn't ask about it, and he didn't make a move until Medanzo came to ask. The result was surprising, even Amon failed to make a soul pact with the Lothmon.
Afterwards, Medanzo asked Amon privately, "With your means, you can't subdue that Loothmon?" I have fought with it, and it is not very powerful, it is equivalent to an eighth-level warrior. ”
Amon explained: "Using the summoning magic to make a soul contract, whether it is coercion or temptation, guidance or persuasion, this monster needs to be willing to do it himself, otherwise even if you kill it, you will not be able to successfully make a soul contract." ”
Medanzo was even more puzzled: "A Caged Lothmon has no reason to reject such a powerful god as you. You don't even need to coerce it, and don't forget that you're also a Necromancy Master and should know what you can do to get it to make a decision voluntarily. ”
Amon shook his head and said, "I don't have any way, tell Alexander not to try again, no one will have a way." ”
Medanzo was stunned: "How can this be?"
Amon explained unhurriedly: "There is a feature of the Summoning Divine Technique, and the soul contract is exclusive. If a spirit animal has already made a soul contract with an owner, as long as this contract is still there, no matter how great the ability is, others will not be able to enter into the same contract with it. ”
Medanzo was taken aback and said, "What do you mean...... It's actually a human-driven summoned beast!, but so many great magicians who are good at summoning divine arts, they haven't even found out?"
Amon nodded and said, "Yes, the means are very ingenious, and the summoning magic of the Olympus god system is indeed outstanding, otherwise it would be impossible for you to bring this Loos beast back to the royal capital." To be honest, even I didn't notice it, and it was only after all kinds of unsuccessful attempts that I came to this conclusion. ”
Medanzo frowned and said, "If it was a summoned beast, then its appearance was no accident. ”
Amon looked at Medanzo with a smile and said meaningfully: "Beauty and the Beast, it's not accidental. Don't tell me, Medanzo - you haven't noticed anything wrong until now!"
Medanzo shrank his head, but smiled without saying a word.
...... Aphrodite came to the world under the pseudonym of Helen and lived in the city of Macedonia as an ordinary woman, even if she was clever enough to hide from Medanzo, I am afraid that she could not deceive Amun's eyes. But she didn't show any malice, she did everything so naturally, and she didn't act as a god. Amun, an alien god in the Olympian Divine Domain, naturally couldn't interfere with anything.
A beautiful girl like her is single, and wherever she goes, she attracts many suitors, and even the princes and nobles will probably come to the door to express their admiration or ask for pleasure. But in Macedonia there was no such situation, and no one even dared to bother Helen. This was because of Alexander's connections, and who would dare to offend the heir of the kingdom?
One day, Helen took her maiden to the temple of Zeus to pray, and she murmured to herself, "My father, I have come to Macedonia in search of my hero, longing to conquer and be conquered." But I don't know what to do now, because there are two wonderful heroes who have touched my heart at the same time. ”
I don't know if Zeus heard this, but the priest on duty in the temple heard it, and the news soon reached the ears of Alexander in the palace. It was on this day that Amon suddenly approached Aristotle and said, "Sir, I hope you can do me a favor, I want to see His Majesty." ”
It had been almost two years since he came to Macedonia, and for the first time, Amon took the initiative to see Philip II, and Aristotle immediately went to the palace to report it. Philip II, despite his busy schedule, immediately made arrangements and summoned Amon alone that evening. He wanted Amon to have dinner, a private feast with only two people present.
I don't know what this god talked about with His Majesty at the private banquet, but it wasn't too long, and no one else, including the gods, could hear it. Amon left the banquet hall after dinner, but did not leave immediately, but remained alone in a small room next door, while Philip II ordered Alexander to be summoned.
As soon as they met, Philip II went straight to the point and said: "My child, I heard that you and Medanzo had returned to Macedonia with a beautiful girl, and you both liked her very much, and she did not refuse your affection at the same time. This is a question, who is the person who will get the girl? Since the attitude of the girl herself cannot be decided, it is up to you two men to decide. ”
