Chapter 333 The Ship of Theseus

Chapter 333 Ship of Theseus

[I turned into pneumonia and got better after taking medicine, so there should be no problem]

"Bang bang bang bang..."

One is the strongest hero in ancient Greek mythology, and the other is a legendary swordsman in the infinite world. Both are strong men who are rarely seen in this world. A wooden stick and a divine sword collide like iron.

The huge and low roar was completely unimaginable. This was a battle between two humans, but more like a fight between giants.

Several newcomers on the side were dumbfounded. Even if they didn't know how to fight, the fierce and fierce offensive could make people realize the sense of power in it.

But while laymen watch the excitement and experts watch the door, Ah Jiu has a solemn gaze, and his super dynamic vision allows him to clearly see the details of the battle between the two sides.

The swordsman's offensive is very fierce. He first learned from the martial arts world, but he has fought many times in the medieval fantasy background world, and even went to Monster Hunter World to hunt dragons. Therefore, he has formed his own unique strength by mixing Chinese and Western elements.

Strong sword style.

Wearing heavy armor, holding a big sword, with the power to break mountains and rocks, and fight dragons, the legendary dragon-slaying warrior refers to a swordsman.

But the swordsman, who had always been extremely powerful, was suppressed at this moment.

It seems that there is no difference between the two sides, but in fact, Heracles on the opposite side has always been able to do it with ease. Even after knocking the swordsman back with a stick in the middle, he nodded to the swordsman with interest and expressed his approval.

"The situation is not good."

Thinking in his heart, the two people in the battle have already decided the winner.

As if he was tired of it, the hero gave a strong blow and knocked the swordsman away completely. The swordsman hit the ground and the elf sword in his hand also fell to the ground.

He struggled to get up, while the great hero of Thebes confidently looked down at the loser in front of him and said.

"You are a very good warrior, but unfortunately, you met Hercules today. Stand up, stranger, you are proud of today's results."

Strong and confident, and deeply proud of it.

This was the impression Hercules left on Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu helped his companion up and said modestly.

"Great hero of Thebes, your strength really surprised us. You have won our respect. I hope we can become companions in the next voyage."

Now is not the time to fall out directly, Ah Jiu gave the big hero a little pat on his ass. Even if you are a big hero, you can always use flattery.

But at the same time, a voice sounded.

"Orpheus! I finally figured it out!"

Then, the handsome young man walked into the cabin excitedly, glanced at a few people strangely, and then excitedly said to the piano player sitting in the cabin.

"Your question that day was completely a trap! The reason why I couldn't catch up with the turtle was because I could only catch up with the turtle when I caught up with it, and before that, I definitely couldn't catch up with it."

The prince of Athens said confidently to the piano player.

After that day, he did not give up thinking, but kept thinking about the weird turtle chasing problem, and finally he figured it out.

No matter how you divide the time, as long as you limit the prerequisites to before you catch up with the tortoise, you will definitely not be able to catch up with the tortoise. Orpheus deliberately induced himself to fall into a trap.

The violinist was not surprised that the boy had seen through the riddle. The accomplished violinist strummed his strings with a strange smile on his face.

That's the mischievous smile you get when you discover you can play tricks on people.

"Really? Maybe the answer is indeed like this. However, Theseus, I just thought of a strange question and I am deeply troubled, so I really want to ask you, is it okay?"

The piano player pretended to sigh, and then asked as if he was distressed.

The young prince was stunned for a moment. He realized that Orpheus on the opposite side probably had evil intentions again, but he still couldn't help but provoke the general and refused to accept it.

"What do you want to ask? Just say it, I won't be afraid!"

The smile on the player's lips grew brighter.

It was so brilliant that the young prince couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

"Theseus, I heard that you drove your own ship to Crete alone in order to kill the bull-headed king of Crete, is that right?"

the violinist asked.

Minotaur, this half-man, half-bull king ruled the island of Crete. As the prince of Athens, if he wanted to kill this man-eating tyrant, he had to sail a ship to the island.

Mentioning this matter, Theseus held his head high and said proudly.

"Of course, only I, like Hercules, can do such a thing."

The violinist smiled mysteriously.

"Yes, I heard that it is really a good ship, strong and fast. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, once gave it a blessing, allowing the brave man to gain his love. But, Theseus, no matter how good the ship is,

It will perish, right?”

The young man was stunned for a moment. Even if it is a ship blessed by God, it will still decay. The only immortals in the world are gods.

"Yes."

"After the ship is damaged, we have to repair it, right?"

"yes."

Theseus was still confused and nodded blankly.

The piano player plucked the strings, making a crisp sound, and then spoke unhurriedly.

"So I thought, if every time it decays, we use planks to repair the ship. Day after day, year after year, when all the planks are repaired and replaced, the ship will still be yours.

That ship?"

"Of course...uh...this..."

Theseus thought for a moment and felt as if he was suddenly dumbfounded.

Yes, all the planks have been replaced, so is this ship still the original ship?

After hesitating, he replied.

"I think it should still be that ship, right?"

The smile on the player's lips grew stronger.

"Now let us imagine again, if we reassemble those rotten wood into a shabby old ship. So, a new ship, an old ship, who are these two ships?

Which is your ship?"

Theseus was completely dumbfounded.

Yes or no?

You can't own two ships at the same time, right?

He lowered his head, scratched his hair, and began to think about, new ship... old ship...

"The Paradox of the Ship of Theseus..."

Some of the newcomers said excitedly.

After a few days of supplementation and the help of the elders, the newcomer also knew a little Greek, so he roughly understood the conversation between the two.

"Is this Theseus?"

"The Ship of Theseus, a famous philosophical paradox, I didn't expect its master to be right in front of me..."

"Is this Theseus powerful?"

"Super awesome..."

The newcomers murmured quietly, and then were knocked on the head one by one by the swordsman.

When Ah Jiu saw Hercules and Theseus, he knew that this was not a good time for confrontation, so he just exchanged a few polite words and exited the cabin.

It wasn't until several people left that Theseus asked.

"Who are these people?"

"There are a few strangers who are taking part in the adventure. The one named Swordsman is quite powerful."

Hercules replied.

There were so many people coming to visit Heracles like this that Theseus didn't pay much attention and ignored them.

And on the other side...

"You mean, Hercules has only accomplished two great deeds right now?"

After exchanging the information obtained with his companions, Ah Jiu began to think after hearing the information Bai Wu had obtained.

According to Bai Wu, Heracles is currently less than thirty years old. Among the twelve great deeds, he has only accomplished two things: killing the lion and the hydra.

It’s just that many mythological details don’t match up. For example, in the legend, Hercules was raised by Amphitryon, but according to the news I heard, Hercules here claimed to be raised by the snake goddess of the underworld.

big.

"That snake goddess? Have you heard of it?"

Ah Jiu was cautious and did not mention the name of the goddess. In the world of mythology, it is very likely that gods will pay attention to him when their names are mentioned. Although he did not know if this was the case in this world, he did not want to take risks.

Several people shook their heads, and even after Ah Jiu tried asking several newcomers, no one could give an answer.

The myth that was different from the legend made Ah Jiu feel a little irritated.

He thought for a while and asked again.

"Is there anything else worth paying attention to?"

"Yes, the most important one is the world-devouring god, Typhon, the hundred-headed giant."

Bai Wu quickly replied.

In this world, many myths are roughly similar to those familiar to a few people, but there is only one very important thing that doesn't match up...

That's this inexplicable Typhon.

According to legend, Typhon should have died by now.

But in the intelligence collected by several people, everyone agreed, saying that Typhon was promised by the God King to be the God of World Devouring, and would one day devour the God of the World. However, God King Zeus deceived him into the abyss, and then

There is no way out, not even the snake goddess, who is also the daughter of Typhon.

This place that was obviously inconsistent with the legend attracted Baiwu's attention.

"Is this another magically modified world?"

Greedy Wolf complained.

According to various legends and stories, many worlds will be generated in the infinite world. However, many worlds are often magically modified versions, that is, they are subtly different from the legends in some places.

For example, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu are actually giant robots, and the Three Kingdoms mecha romance world where the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms fight in Gundam mechas. Another example is the mixed story of all the gods, immortals and monsters, Lin Daiyu beats the devil King Beijing in the appearance of a fairy

The world view of Xianxia Red Mansion. Another example is the magically modified world where all kinds of gods, ghosts and aliens are roaming around. There are countless more.

I have heard a lot about it in the Lord God World, and I have experienced it myself, so I don’t dare to be careless about the greedy wolf in the demon-changed world.

"It's hard to say, maybe..."

Ah Jiu was thinking deeply, as if he had some plans in his mind, but he didn't say them out loud.

As a team leader, you don’t have to tell your teammates everything.

"Okay, let's rest."

Before taking a rest, Ah Jiu glanced at the ship from a distance, the adventure ship that countless heroes longed to embark on. In the coming journey, there may be many opportunities worth seizing.

We will make it through this punishing mission alive.

Ah Jiu thought silently in her heart.

In the corner of your sight, that invisible mission logo is always there.

Lord God, oh no, those words are like indifferent spectators, watching a few people moving forward blankly in this world.
