Chapter 82 The Rising Hero (2-in-1)

In the east of the earth, in a city called Helix, a few helpers were sitting outside a seemingly inconspicuous thatched house, waiting for the fairy in the thatched house to call their names.

Years ago, a sudden plague appeared in the city of Helix. The whole of Helix was full of people infected by the plague. People were mourning and praying to God to save them, but they didn’t know if it was possible.

The gods heard the call of mankind, and a fairy came to Helix.

This fairy whose name is unknown and where she came from pulled up a very inconspicuous grass on the ground and pulled it. Dots of starlight scattered on the traces of the grass and fell into Helix's body.

into a well, and then she made all the patients of Helix drink the water.

At first, the people in Helix did not believe this woman of unknown origin who was veiled and wrapped in aqua blue cloth. However, after the first patient boldly tried and was cured,

All the patients became ecstatic, and they drank the well water crazily... After that, this woman also received the gratitude of the whole city. Everyone believed that she was a messenger of the gods, serving the gods on the holy mountain of Olympus.

Fairy.

And after the fairy cured Helix's patient, she did not leave the city, but stayed here.

She asked someone to build a thatched house and lived in it. When someone came to her for help, asking for medical treatment or seeking enlightenment on other matters, she would give some help in the thatched house, and the seeker would also give some help afterwards.

Food or other valuable items as reward.

This relationship has lasted for nearly a year in the city of Helix, and the residents here have long been accustomed to the existence of such a fairy.

"Next."

A cold voice came from inside the thatched house. A strong man who surrounded key parts with animal skins, and the other exposed parts looked like they were bronzed by the sun stood up. He stepped into the thatched house and saw what was hidden.

Figures behind the curtain.

After he came in, he did not have the idea of ​​opening the curtain to see what the person behind the curtain looked like. Instead, he respectfully took out the wrapped elk from his back, placed it on it, and then asked.

He said, "Fairy beloved by the gods, I came here to ask you to give me a prophecy. I am in love with the king's daughter. In order to test my bravery, the king asked me to hunt a ferocious tiger in the jungle far south.

Three-headed lion, I want to ask the fairy to tell me whether I can kill that ferocious three-headed lion and what my future will be like."

After he finished speaking, the woman behind the curtain did not speak, and the thatched house fell silent.

The man didn't urge him, he just stood there respectfully waiting for the fairy's prediction. After a moment, the silent atmosphere in the thatched house was broken, and the fairy behind the curtain said, "Brave hunter, you can indeed kill."

The head of that ferocious three-headed lion will become a symbol of your achievements. You will welcome the king's daughter and become the new king. However, after that, unspeakable misfortune befalls you. This misfortune

It makes you extremely uncomfortable. You kill your wife in anger, and when you are about to kill the child who is not your child, a bolt of lightning will appear above your head, scorch your body, and

Your soul is cast into Hades."

After hearing the first half, the hunter was still very happy. For him, being able to kill the lion and marry the king's daughter was his lifelong wish at this time. Such a wish was said by the fairy to come true, which will undoubtedly make people happy.

He was very happy, but when he heard the second half, his face turned livid.

He killed his wife in anger and prepared to kill a child that was not his own... This all shows that his wife who loved him the most found another lover after marrying him and gave birth to a child of his own.

Lover's child.

Unspeakable anger and shameful gratitude filled the hunter's heart. When the fairy saw this, she continued, "Don't blame your wife, she doesn't know that it's not you."

Then she began to describe a future.

In this future, the hunter will marry the king's daughter and then become the new king. All this is as dreamy as the hunter expected, but until one day, the war comes. As the king, the hunter takes the lead and leads the army to fight against the enemy from afar.

The conqueror came, and his wife, the former princess and now the queen, naturally stayed behind.

But just as the queen was waiting peacefully at the rear, the 'Hunter' suddenly came back. Seeing her husband back, the queen was naturally overjoyed. She never thought about why her husband suddenly came back when he was fighting outside. She looked at this

The 'Hunter' sought pleasure from herself and coyly had sex with her husband. After the intercourse was over, the 'Hunter' transformed into a huge eagle. It was only then that the queen realized that the person she was having sex with was not her husband.

"Tell me, who is the man who transformed into an eagle?"

The hunter asked with anger and humble supplication.

But looking at the hunter who was angry and praying, the fairy just shook her head and did not say who the man was as he wanted. She just said lightly, "Okay, I have given you the revelation you want.

.”

"Next."

Soon, a farmer came in. As soon as the farmer came in, he saw the hunter. There was confusion on his face. He didn't understand why the hunter's request for help was over and he was still standing here without leaving. The latter clenched his fists.

, his face was full of rage, his body was constantly trembling, and it seemed like endless fire of anger ignited his chest, making him want to vent it out, but in the end he still didn't break out here.

He suppressed the anger in his heart, expressed his gratitude to the fairy behind the curtain, then turned and left the thatched cottage.

Watching the hunter leave, the fairy said nothing. It seemed that she had already seen through all the joys and sorrows in the world and would not resonate with anyone. She looked at the farmer quietly, and when the farmer said what she wanted to ask for help

After the incident, he was given enlightenment, answered his difficult questions, and then said 'next'.

In the evening, the fairy came out from behind the curtain after helping all the helpers.

Unlike the thin, beautiful, and kind-hearted fairy that most Helicians imagine, this fairy is very fat, her belly is bulging high, and her delicate face is slightly swollen due to pregnancy, which ruins the beauty.

Only one pair of eyes is bright and moving, full of attraction.

The fairy looked at the direction in which the previous hunter left, feeling inexplicably sad in her heart, and her throat became inexplicably choked up.

Her name is Aegina, she is the child of the river god Asopus and the water nymph Metope. As a girl who is extremely loved by her parents and regarded as the apple of their eyes, she lives on the island of Aegina named after her.

She had always been carefree until a year ago, when a huge eagle descended from the sky, snatched her away while she was bathing in the river, and had sex with her.

In order to find her, her father, the river god Asopus, crossed countless mountains and rivers and asked all the fairies and goddesses, but no one was willing to tell the truth to her father until King Hesyphus of Corinth.

After Sisyphus repeatedly pleaded with him and promised to give the city of Corinth a clear spring that would never dry up, he learned his whereabouts from Sisyphus.

But finding yourself is the beginning of a nightmare.

Her father asked the powerful god-king Zeus to return her to him, but what he got was Zeus's lightning.

The huge lightning first struck him to death, and then sealed him after he came back to life.

This is the most painful thing for her, so she empathizes with the hunter when she predicts his future, and refuses to name the man when the hunter wants her to.

She knew very well that after the hunter knew the name, he would end up like her father. No, even worse. Her father was a god, an immortal god, so he would only be sealed. But this hunter would die and his soul would fall.

Enter the underworld, be buried in Hades, and endure eternal torment.

God King Zeus will never be merciful when dealing with people/gods who offend him.

Aegina gathered the thoughts in her mind, then stretched out her hand to close the door of the thatched hut, then bent down and put the things sent by the seekers into different categories. Then she poured herself a glass of water and was ready to drink it.

Go down, but at this moment, I suddenly remembered a knock on the door.

"Is there anyone asking for help at this time?"

Aegina hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand to open the closed door, and saw no one knocking on the door. There was only a man about two to three years old. His body was wrapped in a few green leaves, and all other parts of his body were covered in green leaves.

The little boy, naked and exposed to the cold evening wind, was sleeping soundly on the ground.

Looking at the little boy in front of her who was still sleeping soundly in the cold wind, Aegina pondered for a while and hugged the little boy in front of her.

She is a hybrid with special abilities. She can feel that the child in her belly who has extraordinary blood and is destined to become a god in the future is absorbing her life force and growing stronger. Maybe this boy can help take care of her child after her death.

Until he becomes a god.

The little boy who was picked up seemed to be dreaming of something good, with a happy smile on his face.

…

In the blink of an eye, twelve years passed.

Twelve years may not be a big deal in other worlds, but in this mythical world, it means the rise and collapse of kingdoms, and the rise of powerful heroes.

Those heroes with extraordinary blood flowing in their bodies took weapons blessed by God and killed monsters that were causing trouble on the land, in the sea, and on the big islands. They used the heads of these monsters to create their own immortal legends.

Then it will be praised and admired by the world.

For Aegina, twelve years meant that an adopted child and a child born from her belly had the ability to protect themselves, and it also meant that her life had finally come to an end.

Because she did not want to see her child sad, Aegina lied that she was going to a distant place to see the distant scenery, and asked her adopted eldest son Myrmidon to take care of her younger son Aeacus.

Then she left Helix and went to the place where she was born and lived for more than ten years, waiting for death to come.

She knew that Myrmidon, who had learned all the knowledge from her except prophecies that required talent, and was more mature than an ordinary boy, would take good care of her Aeacus.

"Did mother really go on a trip to a distant place?"

As Aeacus, who has the blood of Zeus flowing in his body and will become the judge of death in the underworld according to Aegina's prophecy, looked at his mother's decisive departure and felt inexplicably panicked. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He felt

This will be the last time I see my mother.

"What if?"

Looking at his brother, Mirmidon asked.

Aeacus wanted to express his misunderstanding, and wanted to ask his brother if his mother was going to die, but he swallowed the words when they reached his lips. The reason was simple. He was afraid that his words had a slightly ominous meaning.

After you go out, you will be beaten violently by Mirmidong.

As a younger brother who was often beaten when he was young, even after he was five years old, this older brother never beat him violently again. However, because of his childhood experience, he still felt very embarrassed towards his older brother.

of.

"Let's go."

"Ah, where to go?"

"Go be a hero."

"You want to be a hero?"

"It's not me, it's you."

…

What is a hero?

Those who are brave and brave are heroes.

And how to prove one's martial prowess?

It's very simple. Kill a powerful monster, cut off its head to make your own medal of glory, and then appear in front of everyone. Then there will naturally be bards who will spread the word about this deed and let his name be known by mankind.

Know, and let his name be prefixed with the hero by those who sing it.

But this is easier said than done.

All the monsters on the earth are the children of Gaia, the earth mother. The father of monsters has the head of a hundred dragons, a black tongue, fire-breathing eyes, a body taller than the sky, a body covered with feathers and a pair of wings.

The descendants of Typhon and the female snake Echidna, these monsters with the blood of Typhon flowing in their bodies are not only amazingly powerful, but also possess strange magical powers.

When humans come in front of them, they are like food automatically delivered to their doorsteps.

But these have nothing to do with Myrmidon, because it is not he who will become a hero, but his younger brother, who has the blood of Zeus flowing in his body and will become a god in the prophecy. He just takes Aeacus with him.

Just looking for monsters.

soon,

Myrmidon took Aeacus to find a terrifying monster said to be of the bloodline of Hydra, a giant python with two heads.

"Not a single hair has grown, not even one has hair... You guys like this also want to learn from those human heroes, kill monsters, and become new heroes?"

The two-headed snake opened its huge lantern-like eyes. One head laughed as if it had seen something ridiculous, and the other head spat out the snake letter with disdain.

"It's not us, it's my brother Aeacus. He will defeat you and become a new hero, sung by the world."

Mirmidon pointed at his brother and said.

And his younger brother, Aeacus, began to be eager to try. As a child with the blood of Zeus flowing in his body, he was born with extraordinary strength. When he was seven years old, he had already competed with the strongest Helix.

The strong man had competed, and during the contest, his small, muscleless arms easily overwhelmed the tall, bulging arms that looked like steel.

The size of the body is meaningless in front of him.

Therefore, he is not afraid of this seemingly huge two-headed snake, even if he is as small as an ant in front of this two-headed snake.

ridiculous.

The two-headed python laughed in its heart, but it did not say these two words, but suddenly launched an attack.

Two huge snake heads, like flat boulders, faced the two people in front of them and swallowed them with their bloody mouths.

When Aeacus saw this scene, he raised his arms without thinking. A pair of seemingly soft hands unceremoniously withstood the upper jaw of the giant python, and stepped hard with his two feet.

The powerful force on the python's lower jaw made the two-headed python feel a little painful.

It felt that what it had bitten was not a person, but an iron pillar, an upright, extremely hard iron pillar. Now this iron pillar was pressing against itself, making it unable to close its mouth.

"This guy..."

All four pairs of eyes of the two-headed python turned and moved to look at Aeacus. Their eyes were full of disbelief. How could a little child have such great power? But before it could figure out why this little child was so different,

The child has such huge power, the tiny human in front of it roared, and its original body of only 1.4 meters suddenly swelled into a giant much larger than its snake mouth.

Under this surge of force, the two-headed python's upper and lower jaws were torn apart instantly.

Huge cracks spread downward from the mouth of the two-headed python, separating its entire body into two halves.

"How is this possible..."

The other intact head of the two-headed python rolled its eyes in disbelief. The next moment, a huge foot stepped on the python's head, crushing its head like a cracked watermelon.

After stepping on it, he turned around and saw Mirmidon who had appeared behind him at some point. He said excitedly, "Let's go and defeat the other monsters."

He was very excited by the feeling of releasing his usually suppressed power in the battle with monsters.

He couldn't wait to find other monsters to continue to release and vent his power.

Looking at Aeacus, Myrmidon nodded. He used magic to restore the crushed head and the torn head of the two-headed python, then cut them off and took them away, leaving with his brother.

I don’t know how long it took, but Mir Midong, who had left, suddenly returned alone.

He took out from his waist a simple stone statue with a humanoid upper body and an octopus lower body. He placed the statue in front of the broken body of the two-headed python, which was dripping blood continuously, and let the blood stain the statue.

, and then built a simple altar with stones, but it accommodated the entire two-headed python, and chanted prayers that did not belong to this world, "Our father in the deep sea, the Creator, your most humble servant

I offer you the most insignificant sacrifice here..."
