The ninth and eighth chapter behind the fairy tale

The little girl Mu Xue, who had never spoken, suddenly showed her naively and asked:

"Sister Alida, can you tell me the myth of this Minotaus maze?"

Alida has always loved this little girl very much, and immediately responded to her request:

"It is said that the king on Crete is the illegitimate son of Zeus, the god king on the Olympic Mountain and the mortal Europa. In order to avoid human eyes and ears, Zeus transforms into a strong bull every time he dates Europa.

Therefore, after King Crete ascended the throne, in order to commemorate his father, the people were not allowed to use cattle to sacrifice to the gods, but it also angered the gods!

So the gods sent divine punishment, allowing a real bull to combine with the queen of Crete, and gave birth to a monster named Minotaus!

This monster not only has the powerful and invulnerable force in the ox head, but also likes to eat raw people the most, causing huge disasters to the island of Crete at that time.

The king of Crete had no choice, so he built a maze to lure the monster into it and trap it.

In order to prevent this guy from running out when he was very hungry, the then King of Crete ordered Athens, which was affiliated with them, to pay tribute to them every year to feed the bull-headed monster!

Later, I couldn't remember what the name of a prince from the Kingdom of Athens came from. In short, he took the initiative to join the 7 pairs of boys and girls who sacrificed their sacrifices and wanted to eliminate the harm for the people and defeat the monster.

Of course, the hero must be equipped with a beauty. At that time, the princess on Crete fell in love with the prince, so she secretly gave him a sword and a ball of thread.

So finally, after a desperate battle, Minotaus, who was finally killed by the prince, walked out of the maze along the ball of thread and married the princess back to Athens!”

Good guy, after Alida finished this story, not only did the little girl Mu Xue listen to it with relish, but Carlisle was also listening attentively.

Ning Lei asked in confusion:

"It's normal that she hasn't heard of these ancient Greek mythological stories. Why haven't you heard of Carlisle?"

Carlisle smiled embarrassedly and said:

"It's very ashamed to say that my childhood may not be much better than this little girl. When I get older, I will do the most to help my father manage the rebirth account or perform some more dangerous tasks, so I am also unfamiliar with these myths."

At this time, the little girl Mu Xue tilted her head and said:

"No! There is a bug in this story? Since the King of Crete is the illegitimate son of the God King Zeus, then the God King Zeus should know why he doesn't use a cow to sacrifice to the gods?

Why do we let the gods punish the many mortals in Crete?”

But Gu Xiaole, who was standing beside him, smiled and said:

"In fact, this is easy to understand. Zeus and the mother of the Crete King's mother committed adultery. Other gods, especially his jealous wife, Hera, did not know about it.

The King of Crete does not use cows to worship the gods, which is a public anger of God. This is a matter of business! Zeus has always been clear about such matters!

Besides, he has so many illegitimate children! I'm afraid he has long forgotten the romantic debt he owed on Crete back then!

Moreover, this guy is a man of a cold nature, and even if he remembers, he can't take care of his cheap son."

This made the little girl Mu Xue feel chilled, and she stuck out her tongue and said:

"Why is this kind of person like him like this? It's so bad. Is this kind of guy still qualified to be a god king?"

Ning Lei smiled and shook her head and explained:

"You're right about this, Sister Mu Xue! Zeus has always been a man of Feng Liucheng. Of course, his brothers and sisters and his sons and daughters are not much better than him. In short, the messy private life of their big family has made the entire system of ancient Greek mythology!"

At this time, Alida suddenly asked: "Xiaole Azhu, let's stop talking about myths! What did you just say to go to Crete for the purpose of?"

Gu Xiaole pointed at his head and said:

"This guy told me that there was a laboratory on the island of Crete that they used to make smart products at the time, and there may still be important coordinates and data they left there at the time.

These things are likely to be of great help to how we return to the Temple of Eternity in the future!”

"The Temple of Eternity?"

Gu Xiaole's words made Carlisle and Mu Xue stunned. Of course, Gu Xiaole was not convenient to explain too much to them at this time.

After all, if they told them that they, Alida and Ningle directly traveled to them from the world 50 years ago through a mysterious space of extraterrestrial civilization, they might not believe it.

Alyda nodded and said:

"But Crete is not a small place! Are you sure we can still leave safely when we get there?"

Gu Xiaole shook his head and said:

"So intelligence is very important! That guy just told us that their pirates' main base is on some small islands near Crete.

And now Crete has been occupied by an extremist religious organization called the Olympian Temple. If we rush in like now, it will be a disaster. So my plan is to seize a pirate’s nest as a base first!”

What a guy! People always hide when they see pirates, but they didn’t know that Gu Xiaole actually wanted to occupy the land and seize other people’s base!

This made the girls around Gu Xiaole look at each other, thinking that Gu Xiaole's heart is too big, right?

But Carlisle said confidently:

"I also agree with Gu Xiaole's idea. This is not Venice, nor are there any of the powerful local armed forces like the Red Turban Army.

Most of these pirates only have some light armed forces, but I heard that the organization called the Olympic Temple has many powerful psychics.

So even if they don’t have very strong firepower, the military forces around them dare not provoke them easily!”

While talking about the yacht, they headed towards Crete. After about half a day, they finally arrived in front of an island with an area of ​​less than 5 kilometers.

Their yacht stopped on the sea less than 3,4 kilometers away from the island. Gu Xiaole held up his telescope and observed it carefully for a while, nodded with satisfaction and said:

"It seems that this island is indeed a place that is more suitable for us to settle in temporarily!"

...

One-eyed Buck was in a particularly good mood today. Just this morning, a statue of gold was found on a small merchant ship they had just robbed.

It looks like that, this statue should be a tribute prepared by residents here in the vicinity to present to the Olympic Temple.

Although their pirate gang with less than 100 people could not afford the temple organizations on Crete, they were very quick to do things, and there were no survivors left on the ships they snatched.

And this sea area is not the only group of pirates. Even if the temple wants to settle the score with them one by one, it will take a lot of time!

What's more, even if they really found their heads, they would have sold the statue to nearby warlords at that time.

One-eyed Buck had just measured it. The statue they got was more than 140 grams. Such a large sum of gold was enough to make him become a rich man on land and live comfortably for many years.

But just as he was thinking about how to go ashore to attack the statue, a pirate under his command suddenly ran in and reported:

"Report, a luxury yacht suddenly appeared on the sea about 2 kilometers away from us! Brothers are already eager to try! Head, are we going to do it?"

“A luxury yacht on the sea surface less than 2 kilometers?”

One-eyed Buck walked outside with some disbelief, raised the telescope handed over by his subordinates and saw that a brand new yacht was docked not far from their island, and even the men and women walking on it could see clearly!

"Boss, the business delivered to the door is not a trap, right?" The second in commander on their island asked a little worriedly.
Chapter completed!
