Chapter 15: Conflict

"Goodbye my brother, even Zeus will be jealous of your generosity. I hope we can meet again!" Wang Kui tugged on the heavy animal skin bag on his body, laughed and waved to Arthur Evans, and then turned around

It disappeared on the horizon. At this time, the sky was still gray and there was still some time before dawn.

Arthur Evans and Assass had sluggish expressions on their faces. They supported each other and stood there, their bodies shivering as a gust of cold wind blew.

"Is this brother of mine really a savage Spartan with more muscles than brains? Rather than an ancient goblin wearing a Spartan skin?"

Arthas on the side subconsciously murmured: "If the ancient goblins can defeat the Phoenician base."

After a while, a scream filled with fear suddenly echoed in the wilderness: "Invisibility cloak! I will be killed by Avro!"

While running in the direction of his tribe, Kratos quickly checked the treasures he had collected from the second generation of officials.

An inconspicuous-looking piece of animal skin lay quietly on the palm of his hand. Looking closely, Kratos found that although the piece of animal skin looked quite worn, it was extremely complete, and there were no leather lines.

A trace of damage.

When holding this piece of leather, Kratos only felt that his five senses were a little sharper, and he could easily notice all the disturbances around him.

Kratos, who grew up in the wild mountains and forests, soon discovered that it was not that his senses had become sharper, but that he was ignored by the surrounding environment.

Kratos couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. He didn't expect that there is such a treasure that can completely block his own breath. Even the flowers, plants and trees in nature can deceive him. If he doesn't use his eyes to see, no one can detect his existence.

.

When Wang Kui rushed back, the other Spartans had already woken up and began to eat the dried meat on their bodies in preparation for today's journey.

When they saw Wang Kui coming back with a big bag wrapped in several pieces of animal skins, they all showed curious expressions. When Wang Kui opened the animal skin and poured out the stuff full of bells inside, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

voice.

Whether they were long swords, bows and arrows, or spears, they were all weapons used by Mycenaean soldiers. Although most of them were damaged, there were still a small number that were intact.

Wang Kui not only stripped Arthur Evans and Assass naked, but also didn't let go of the Mycenaean soldiers who died in the battle, and collected all the weapons that were still usable.

Akela held up the brand-new long sword of Assasi, and after comparing it with his long sword that had stains on it, he decisively abandoned the long sword that he originally regarded as life, and happily took away the long sword that originally belonged to Ah Sas.

Sarah's sword hung on her waist.

After doing all this, Akela realized what he was doing. When he was about to question Wang Kuidi with a straight face, he couldn't help but see the long sword hanging on Wang Kui's waist, even the handle was made of bronze.

"Oh God of War, even the handle is made of bronze, and the scabbard is made of Siren scales. What a terrible weapon this is. Kratos is a cursed weapon. You must throw it away and let me do it.

I’ll bear a heavy burden for you!”

Wang Kui raised his middle finger unceremoniously. Although Akela did not understand the meaning of the middle finger, he still persisted in entangled with Wang Kui, trying to snatch away the "evil" weapon through violence.

Wang Kui squeezed Akela's stretched out palm with his iron hand, and a terrifying force surged down, and his wrist immediately made a creaking sound of muscles and bones. Akela couldn't help but grimace in pain.

After once again recognizing the reality that violence cannot solve the problem, Accra could only change his tactics and pester Wang Kui with an old face, hoping to force Wang Kui to submit through hard work.

How could Wang Kui, who had experience in his previous life, fall for this? After once again correcting the truth that violence can solve everything, Akela finally gave up unwillingly and gained some comfort by constantly stroking the long sword of Assass on his body.

.

After this little episode, Akela also forgot about his idea of ​​questioning Wang Kui. After simply eating some food, he continued on the road. After they bypassed the Mycenaean city, they were halfway through their hunting trip.

Arrive at the northern end of the Peloponnese continent, follow the Mediterranean Sea to the intersection with the Aegean Sea, cross the Tayetos Mountains, and finally return to the territory of Sparta.

Entering the Spartan capital, you will be greeted by a strong atmosphere of war. Heavily armed Spartan soldiers patrolled the narrow streets in neat formations. Even ordinary civilians were rugged and burly, and even young children

The weapons are all weapons carved from wood.

After entering the territory of Sparta, Wang Kui suddenly made a request to act alone. Although Accra firmly opposed it, Wang Kui quietly left the team by virtue of his own ability and entered the capital of Sparta alone.

Although Wang Kui is much stronger than his peers, he is only 14 years old after all, so it is not obvious when walking in the capital of Sparta.

After Wang Kui asked a walking businessman, he quickly found the destination of his trip - the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith shop was located near the center of the Spartan capital, at the corner of the busy city. A burning stove was placed under the open air, and several men with bare upper bodies and equally developed muscles and body hair were working hard around the stove to knock out molds.

Wang Kui covered most of his face with a coarse cloth. When he strode into the blacksmith shop, he immediately felt a wave of heat hitting his face.

One of the older, bearded blacksmiths glanced at Wang Kui and kept working on his hands and said: "God of War, may I ask if you need anything? We have good pitchforks, long spears and short swords here."

Swords, and of course bows and arrows capable of killing wild beasts, each arrowhead is carefully crafted from the rocks of Mount Tayetos.”

Without saying a word, Wang Kui took out the bronze dagger obtained from Arthur Evans and the disgusting Gorgon eyes with pus and disgust.

The blacksmith just glanced at it casually, and immediately his eyes widened. He looked at the bronze dagger and eyes in surprise, and couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

Wang Kui immediately put away the things, and then said calmly: "I need to forge a long sword and embed this eyeball intact in it. If I can do it, these will be yours." After that, he opened one.

The fist-sized animal skin bag shimmered with dazzling golden light under the reflection of the fire.

A look of greed immediately appeared in the blacksmith's eyes. Such a bag of gold was a wealth he had never seen in his life.

The blacksmith carefully looked around, and then said hurriedly: "Your generosity is as great as Mount Olympus. It only takes three days for you to get what you want."

Wang Kui said categorically: "One day, I only give you one day."

The blacksmith was about to say it was impossible, but when he saw Wang Kui put away the bag full of gold, he swallowed his words and hesitated for a while before nodding heavily.

Wang Kui put the bronze dagger directly in the blacksmith shop. Since the Gorgon's eyes would not be inlaid until the sword was completed, he put it back into the animal skin belt around his waist, and then left the blacksmith.

shop.

Wang Kui was not worried that the other party would embezzle his things, because to these poor blacksmiths, the gold in his hands was a hundred times more valuable than a mere bronze weapon.

After one day of waiting, Wang Kui did not intend to leave the city again. He decided to take advantage of this opportunity to experience the city, which is the center of civilization in the world.

From the outside, the capital of Sparta looks like a city embedded in the heart of a mountain. But the first thing you see when you enter is a straight and spacious avenue that can allow four horses to run parallel, leading to the gate of the palace.

This avenue was called the War Road in the capital of Sparta. Only the army could walk on it. Even the nobles were not qualified to step on it. If anyone dared to violate it, he would be punished with extremely cruel punishments.

Except for this war road, other roads are like trodden paths on dense grass, twisted, narrow, and crowded.

All Spartans seemed to live in one space. There was only room for one person to pass between the tents and stalls. Every time a neat queue of soldiers passed by, it would cause a commotion, but not long after, the road

It will be filled again.

The most common sight in the Spartan capital was slaves who were shackled with anklets or handcuffs, their skins and heads exuding a stench, and lingering under the constant whipping of their masters.

Akela once told Wang Kui that these were slaves called Helots, who were once the local indigenous Hilo people.

But when Wang Kui planned to inquire more deeply about the reason, Akela remained silent and seemed unwilling to reveal the secret to Wang Kui.

Suddenly there was a commotion behind him. Wang Kui thought it was another patrol of soldiers passing by, but when he stood next to a stall selling various animal bones, he saw several people riding horses.

The nobles came galloping towards them, knocking people and horses wherever they passed. Many civilians who could not escape were knocked to the ground, and simple stalls were trampled to pieces and knocked over.

Wang Kui sneered in his heart. The power of the powerful was everywhere. They did not dare to offend the majesty of the war road, but they could trample on the wealth and lives of civilians at will. Those civilians who were injured could only swallow their anger in the end, not daring to do anything.

Complain.

Just when Wang Kui was about to watch indifferently, two civilians carrying clay water bottles with wooden sticks quickly dropped their things in panic and threw the clay water bottles in the middle of the road. However, the two people hid aside in panic.

When the first rider saw the water bottle blocking the road, he whipped his riding whip immediately. The tall horse under him immediately jumped up in pain. However, because the road happened to be gentle, the foothold happened to be at the head of a stall, and Wang Kui just happened to

Standing next to this stall. (To be continued)
