Greece brings evildoers.

Chapter 323 You are my half-brother

The battle was over, and the bronze chariot carrying the three men drove out of the dense forest, moving farther and farther away.

After a long time.

rustle~
The dead leaves on the ground and the weeds around made slight rustling sounds in the wind. Streams of red and black mud poured out from the light-like cracks, enveloping the corpses of the centaurs lying in all directions in the dense forest.

In the blink of an eye, the bloodstains, body parts and weapons on the ground disappeared, replaced by a red and black mud cocoon with interwoven patterns.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound came from inside to outside, and a white arm tore through the red and black afterbirth that wrapped itself, and a graceful and tall figure walked out of it. The dark purple hair cascaded behind her like a waterfall, and there was innocence and charm coexisting in the amber eyes, as if it was a combination of holiness and filth, with a contradictory yet unified temperament.

"Another god has arrived? It's really lively here."

With a laughter as sweet as a silver bell, the charming girl stretched lazily, raised her head to look in the direction where the bronze chariot disappeared, licked her moist cherry lips with her curled pink tongue, and her beautiful eyes flickered faintly.

"It seems that we need to increase the difficulty of the game..."

"Snap!" With a crisp snap of fingers, the shadow of the charming girl seemed to turn into a pool of red and black mud, spreading all around. Centaurs holding spears, shields and giant axes, with their bodies as black as ink, emerged from the mud, their eyes were a violent scarlet, and their bodies were covered with red and black lines.

~~
The bronze chariot was speeding along a rugged mountain road, shaking up and down. Katniss in the chariot groaned, pressed her aching head and managed to sit up, then opened her eyes and looked at the man and woman in front of her.

"Did you save me?"

"Yeah." Lorne nodded, took out a potion from the magic circle, and handed it to Katniss who was pounding her head in the carriage, "You look a little bit strange, take the tranquilizer."

"Sedative? Only women drink this stuff!" Katniss slapped the tranquilizer and analgesic potion away with disdain, pointed at the wine flask hanging on Lorne's waist, and couldn't help swallowing, "Are there any wine? Give me a sip!"

Luo En took off the wine flask and handed it over, reminding him kindly, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, try not to drink too much."

But before the other party could finish speaking, Katniss couldn't wait to grab the wine jug, pulled out the cork, took a deep breath into the bottle mouth, and then her eyes lit up.

"Fine ambrosia honey wine, great stuff."

The female warrior tilted her head back and drank slam dunk, then put the jug down contentedly and cheered heartily.

"Cool!"

Luo En looked at the empty wine jug in his hand, his face darkening.

"One bite?"

"Of course one bite!"

Katniss answered as a matter of course, then hooked one hand around the shoulder of her savior, patted her chest with the other hand, and laughed loudly to guarantee it.

"Hey, don't be so stingy. Once we get into the city, I'll treat you to whatever you want to drink or eat!"

Looking at the two trembling wheat-colored breasts in front of him, Loen knew that this was a woman with a carefree personality, so he took advantage of the time while on the road to ask her indirectly about the recent situation in Thessaly.

And just as Lorne had expected, Katniss frankly told him all the information she knew.

Thessaly has indeed been in turmoil recently, with the territory repeatedly harassed by the giants, and livestock and people frequently lost.

By the time the city defense forces and patrols find the missing people, all that is left is often a pile of dry bones, with some instruments that appear to be used to worship the old gods left at the scene.

The residents of Thessaly were in panic when they heard the news; their production and life, and even their worship of gods were seriously affected.

For this reason, King Admetus summoned the divine blood heroes in the territory to discuss countermeasures and together catch the rats in the tunnels.

Katniss was one of the first divine blood heroes to join the crusade. Although her appearance was quite outstanding in Thessaly, and she was even known as the most beautiful woman in Thessaly, and had been pursued by many men, because of her hot personality and temper, this female warrior always preferred to be alone.

So, after hearing about a population robbery case in a nearby village, she rushed over alone, thinking she could catch the giants, but she found out that it was a group of Centaurs who were taking advantage of the chaos to steal brides.

Ron looked Katniss up and down in front of him with suspicion.

"So, you fought them all by yourself? And you almost got crushed to death?"

The Iliad mentions that she is a descendant of the god of war Ares, and the Metamorphoses even says that she is the daughter of the Titan Atlas. The combination of these two divine bloodlines not only shaped her fiery personality, but also gave her an almost invulnerable body and outstanding combat effectiveness.

After all, he was a powerful divine-blood hero in Thessaly. How come he almost failed when faced with dozens of Centaurs?

"That's them cheating!"

Katniss accused angrily, then began to defend herself.

"It was agreed that I would fight them all by myself, but they actually cast a spell on me behind my back, making it impossible for me to stand up. This is so unethical!"

Hearing this, Luo En frowned slightly.

Centaurs are skilled in mounted archery and surprise attacks, but their proficiency in magic and spells is mediocre, and there is almost no such profession as magician in the tribe.

The descendants of gods are generally born with a certain degree of magic resistance, let alone the Centaurs who only have a meager understanding of magic. Even for a professional witch like Medea, it is not easy to break Katniss's magic resistance.

There are experts in that forest...?
Just as Ron frowned in thought, Katniss coughed dryly and changed the subject.

"By the way, what about you guys? Why are you in Thessaly at this time?"

"We are from the Academy of Athens. We are here at the request of the new Queen of Arcadia to help Thessaly quell the disaster."

Lorne puts on a useful vest and introduces himself and Medea to Katniss.

"So you're allies?" Katniss' heart moved, and she rubbed her hands with a dry cough, "Can we have a negotiation?"

"what?"

"What happened in the woods just now..."

Katniss looked embarrassed and seemed a little too ashamed to speak.

Lorne blinked, bewildered.

"What happened in the forest? Didn't we encounter it on the way to clear out the centaurs?"

"That's great! From now on, you are my half-brother!"

Katniss was stunned at first when she heard that, but she immediately smiled and raised her hand to hook her savior's shoulder, hugged him warmly and pointed at the outline of the city in front of her, laughing heartily.

"Come on, follow me into the city, I'll treat you!"

"Hmm~"

The head sandwiched between two wheat-colored thunders let out a dull whimper. An ally from Arcadia felt the enthusiasm of the people of Thessaly before he even entered the city.

What's the big deal? Sooner or later it will sag!
Medea at the back looked down at the open space that she could see in full view, then looked at her senior brother who was dragged away by Katniss, and trotted after him indignantly.

Along the way, Lorne wanted to say goodbye to Katniss, report to the Royal Palace of Thessaly first, and reunite with the twin brothers as soon as possible.

However, he was unable to resist Katniss's determination to treat him to a meal as a token of gratitude, and could only allow the legendary most beautiful woman in Thessaly to drag him to the most famous restaurant in the royal city.

As soon as I entered the door, three figures, two men and one woman, came towards me.

Because the aisle was a bit narrow, the tall girl with red hair and golden eyes, whose facial features and figure exuded a certain beauty, glanced at the man and woman in front of her who were arm in arm. A trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and then she pushed Katniss aside and walked out the door.

Katniss stumbled and turned her head to sneer. "What are you doing? Don't you have eyes to watch when you walk?"

The beautiful girl with red hair and golden eyes stopped, looked back at the two of them, and spoke with a smile.

"Oh, sorry, there were two monkeys getting horny on the street and I was distracted."

"Then next time you..."

Katniss was about to open her mouth to express her magnanimity, but when she saw the teasing in the other person's eyes, she immediately understood the other person's hidden meaning and became furious.

"Who are you scolding?"

When her lies were exposed in front of her, the red-haired girl's smile became even brighter.

"Oh my, the monkey can actually talk?"

"You curse again!"

The furious Katniss could no longer suppress her anger and punched the red-haired girl in the face.

"boom!"

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, Katniss's face changed slightly as she looked at the brown-haired man who took her punch with his chest but did not move at all.

"I'm sorry, my companion's rude remarks offended you two. Please forgive me."

The most handsome and elegant young man among the three came forward and apologized with a wry smile, then turned around and looked behind him.

"Venus, come here and apologize."

"Let me apologize? Why?"

The red-haired girl sneered, showing disdain.

Hearing this, the young man's azure eyes gradually became deeper, and he raised his hand to turn a bronze ring on his right ring finger.

For some reason, the bad-tempered red-haired girl's face changed, and a trace of fear flashed across her eyes. Finally, as if under some pressure, she reluctantly took a few steps forward and hummed lazily.

"I'm so sorry, I bumped into you by accident..."

Hearing that sarcastic tone, Katniss couldn't help but clench her fists again.

This woman is really infuriating. She has never seen anyone who deserves a beating so much!
"I'm hungry, why don't we go in and eat first?"

The question in her ear made Katniss suppress her anger immediately and turn around to look at her savior.

"Okay, let me help you order some of the best Thessalian local dishes first!"

Having said that, she ignored the three people at the scene, took Loen upstairs, and prepared to entertain her savior wholeheartedly.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, cast a friendly glance at Loen who had spoken to resolve the conflict, and then gave orders to the couple next to him.

"Venus, Mars, we have things to do today, let's go."

Upstairs, Loen, who was sitting at the table, looked at the three people leaving, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Venus, the goddess of love and beauty... Mars, the god of war...

Isn't this another name for the Twelve Olympian Gods?

They actually used the name of the future God. Who are they?

"Don't just stand there, eat, eat! After you finish eating, I will take you to see King Admetus!"

Katniss, who was standing by, woke up Lorne who was in deep thought and greeted him warmly.

Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Loen and Medea put aside all distractions and began to enjoy the sumptuous meal.

After eating for more than two hours, everyone was full and satisfied. Katniss paid the bill with satisfaction and walked into the palace with Lorne.

With the company of Caenis, the local hero of divine blood, the two had a smooth journey and successfully met Admetus, the king of Thessaly, in the palace.

Today, this person in power has entered middle age, with long black hair draped over his shoulders, a gentle and dignified look, and eyes that carry the depth and wisdom accumulated over the years.

Next to the king sat a burly man with an ancient face, a full beard, thick joints in hands, and a sturdy stature. The javelin and shield next to him were much larger than those of the others.

If it weren't for the occasional sharpness in his eyes, to outsiders, he looked more like an old farmer than a warrior.

At first, Ron didn't know the identity of this "old farmer", but as Katniss called out the other person's name, a strange color appeared in his eyes.

Telamon was the father of the demigod hero Ajax the Great during the Trojan War.

At the same time, he is also a good friend of the great hero Hercules.

Although this "old farmer" is not good-looking, he has inherited the virtues of mankind - rationality and wisdom.

As far as Loen knew, Telamon was a typical example of someone who was wise but appeared foolish.

In a certain expedition against the city of Troy, Telamon was the first to break through the gate and rushed into the city, winning the highest honor, and even Hercules was left behind.

For the first time in his life, the great hero Hercules was surpassed in battle by other heroes. Under the curse of Hera's madness, he was angry, anxious and burning with jealousy.

Then Hercules lost his mind, drew his sword, and tried to chop down Telamon who was walking in front of him.

Telamon happened to look back and guessed Hercules' intention. He quickly bent down, gathered the bricks and stones nearby and piled them up, and then called his friends.

When asked what he was doing here, he replied: "I am building an altar here to the victorious Hercules!"

These words brought the great hero back to his senses and he felt very ashamed. He immediately bowed his head to apologize to Telamon and joined the team to fight together.

Afterwards, the Hercules drew his bow and shot to death the Trojan king Laomedon and several of his sons. In the end, only one prince survived, and the Trojans completely lost their will to fight.

In order to thank Telamon, Hercules transferred the princess of Troy to this great hero, allowing him to win the beauty.

In fact, a glimpse of the whole body is enough to show how outstanding the adaptability of this "old farmer" is.

Otherwise, he would not only lose the beauty, but even his head.

After all, countless heroes died directly or indirectly at the hands of the cursed son Hercules.

Although Telamon was not very powerful compared to other heroes of the same period, he managed to preserve himself for a long time with his wisdom.

Of course, what really concerned Loen about this hero was not his achievements, but his bloodline.

Peleus, who once died at the hands of Lorn, was Telamon's brother.

He actually encountered his enemy in a place like this? I hope this demigod hero is more sensible than his brother.

Loen shook his head and muttered to himself, then looked at the three familiar figures that appeared in the palace and frowned.

The three people I met in the morning were also there!
