Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 523 Old Friends on the Sea

Although we were going to Ethiopia, we had to stop before we got halfway there.

Not long after they set sail, the food on the ship began to rot due to the humidity, and there was a lack of fresh water.

Perseus, who had no experience in sailing and leadership, naturally did not know how to deal with this situation.

At sea, the dangers are not just the rough waves and unpredictable weather. When there are many people, there are also more troublesome issues of resources and unity.

In the absence of water and food, chaos is almost inevitable.

Fortunately, Perseus had absolutely overwhelming force on this ship, but facing the restless hearts of the people, his force was of no use.

Halfway through the journey, most of the people on the ship had dispersed, leaving only Perseus and Eros.

The ship also changed from a large ship to a light sailboat, tossing in the waves.

After all, two people cannot operate such a large boat, so they can only switch to a single-person sailboat like this.

Well, Perseus was responsible for pulling the sailboat, and Eros was only responsible for fishing to meet daily meals. The division of labor was clear and quite reasonable.

So there was a scene where Perseus, the captain, was running back and forth, pulling the sails and rowing, while Eros was sitting steadily at the bow holding a fishing rod.

When Perseus was exhausted and sweating, he finally caught a gust of sea breeze and had time to rest for a while. Then Eros suddenly raised the fishing rod in his hand, and a white shadow flew out from the sea.

"Okay, let's eat this today."

Eros put away his fishing rod, slowly took out his knife, and prepared to make a seafood dinner for Perseus.

But when Perseus saw the big fish, he showed some resistance.

"Mate, we've been eating fish for days. Isn't there anything else we can eat? Like berries or something like that?"

"Don't be silly. Where can you get fruit from the sea? It's good enough to have fish to eat."

"Really? But I seemed to see you eating an apple yesterday."

"Really? Then there might still be some fruit reserves."

Eros said without changing his expression.

"But fruit is very precious at sea, so it's best not to eat it unless it's a critical moment."

"You are a warrior of the goddess Athena, you are very powerful, it doesn't matter if you don't eat fruit. If I don't eat fruit for a long time, I will die of illness."

As he said this, Eros took out another apple and took a big bite.

Being morally blackmailed by Eros, Perseus could only swallow his saliva silently and chew on the tasteless fish meat.

But there is not even any salt, and the fish itself has its own freshness, which is really hard to swallow.

After eating two bites with difficulty, Perseus felt that life was dim and dull, so he asked Eros.

"First mate, when can we dock?"

"Well, if we're lucky, it'll probably take another three months."

Eros pretended to look at the chart and said.

"Why does it take so long?!"

Perseus was so frightened that the fish dropped, so didn't that mean he would have to eat sea fish for another three months?

In the past, when we went out to sea, we usually went ashore once in a while. Why would it take so long?
"You choose."

Eros said while chewing an apple. "When I asked you whether we should go fast or slow, you said we should go fast."

"If we go faster, we can just cross the sea. This way, it will take the shortest time, but it's a little more dangerous because there won't be any places to stop in the middle."

Generally, the voyages are along the coastline, and the supply stops are planned in advance along the route.

Heading straight for the depths of the sea like Eros did before was basically tantamount to seeking death, and no one would attempt such a voyage.

But since Perseus was imitating his past deeds, he might as well learn them thoroughly now.

Perseus' face turned bitter when he heard that he would not be able to see land for several months.

When I listened to stories in the past, I just felt my blood boiling. Now that I am in the situation, why do I find that there is no passion or excitement at all?
There are only endless fish to eat, endless sea to see, and endless sails and waves to pull.

Perseus looked at the fish in his hand in a daze, lost in thought about his shattered dream.

"Don't be silly. If we follow the normal route, we will have to drift on the sea for three years to reach Ethiopia. Now it only takes a few months, which is very fast."

When Perseus heard that the original three-year journey had been shortened to a few months, he felt relieved and thought that eating the fish was worth it.

Ethiopia is really far away from Argos. You have to cross the entire ocean to reach the other side of the world to get there.

What's wrong with eating more fish so that you can see Andromeda sooner?

Looking at Perseus chewing the fish in big mouthfuls, Eros showed a gratified expression.

Because women can endure what ordinary people cannot, it is this aspect that is so similar to him that always makes Eros unable to help but exude a little fatherly love.

For this reason, please call for some wind so that Perseus doesn't have to row the boat today.

Eros opened his mouth and blew out a breeze, which blew quickly over the sea and soon formed a light sea breeze.

The sea breeze blew the sails, pushing the boat forward quickly.

Although he could send Perseus directly to Ethiopia in one go, Eros felt that the young man still needed more training.

The sea breeze he blew raised the waves, but Eros didn't care at first, but the waves showed no sign of decreasing.

The brisk sea breeze gradually turned into a howling one, blowing a black wind in the air, and the originally clear sky was covered by dark clouds.

The calm sea surface began to surge, gradually changing from clear to pitch black. Perseus, who was gnawing on fish with a dull look in his eyes, suddenly became sharp.

"There's a sea monster?!"

You can say he is stupid, but you can't say he is incompetent. When Perseus encountered such things, he still had the demeanor of a Saint Seiya.

Quickly putting on the sacred garment of Perseus, Perseus stood in front of Eros, concentrating on facing the dark waves.

He didn't know what was going on, but there was indeed a demonic aura in these waves.

Eros raised his eyebrows, looked at the situation ahead, and couldn't help laughing.

"What a coincidence! It seems you don't need to go to Ethiopia. You have already found Keto, Perseus."

What Eros saw through his sight that penetrated the storm and waves was a sea monster that was half snake and half fish that kept appearing in the sea and causing waves.

Its twisted and terrifying body floats up and down in the turbid sea water, mysterious and weird.

In addition to Keto, there were two other figures that made Eros pay attention to them.

"Poseidon? What is she doing?"
