I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

"ah!"

The guests outside the house let out a scream because they were startled by Serius who suddenly opened the door, but she quickly covered her mouth to prevent her voice from disturbing other villagers.

Serius looked at the 'guest' who came suddenly in the dead of night.how to say?This is a very cute girl about 16 years old.

Although the hands and skin are rough from helping the family, it is generally the girl in the Serius strike zone who rubs her hands nervously.Her face was also red, and she didn't know whether it was because she was shy or out of breath because of fear.

Serius was a little confused by this unexpected development, what is a young girl doing knocking on his door at night without sleeping?He instinctively wanted to say something to break the embarrassing situation of the two staring at each other.

But forgive Serius, who has been single since his previous life. He really doesn't know what he has to say in this situation without the experience of being alone with a girl.

Finally, he said dryly:

"Did you go to the bathroom the wrong way?"

Serius, who realized something was wrong after speaking, was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.The girl on the opposite side finally came back to her senses. She first took a deep breath, and then said in a firm tone:

"My lord, do you need my company tonight?"

"What?!"

Chapter 10 Someone looking for Seleus?Still a king?

Seleus sent the girl away as tactfully as possible.

Since experiencing a series of divine punishments, Seleus put away all his fantasies about the unknown.Even though the vulgar plot of the hero saving the beauty did appear on him, he was still keenly aware of something strange.

When the girl faced him, there was obvious fear on her face.Serius didn't think she was really planning to... um~~ to send a night of warmth because she was saved by him?

Obviously, someone behind the scenes asked the girl to do this, and this person is likely to be the one who has been keeping his eyes on Everdias during the day.

Serius, who lay back on the bed again, thought about it.

'Looking at the situation, that guy's purpose is just to get something from me that I don't need, not to take away something from me. '

Seleus put his left hand behind his head as a pillow.

'I can be sure that since I entered this room, no one has approached here except the girl and the food delivery person.And if they really have any bad thoughts, it's obviously easier for me to deal with them when I'm asleep, because my body shape can last until dawn no matter how you look at it. '

'Could it be... no, such a ridiculous thing would happen to me? '

Seleus suddenly realized something, he remembered that Teacher Chiron once said to him:

Although the Greek gods always use various methods to toss their believers, there are still some people who are madly pursuing the supreme power of the gods.But the gods above are beyond their reach (unless their daughters are as beautiful as the goddesses).Therefore, these people set their minds on the demigod heroes.

They will try their best to send their daughters or other female relatives into the demigod's room in order to obtain the blood of the gods.Most of the demigods in Greece have inherited the 'excellent character' of their parents. Of course, they would not refuse an opportunity to warm a female body.

This is not a rare thing in the age of the Greek gods. The most famous examples are Sparta and Celt, who later established city-states. They are all descendants left by Hercules outside.

However, Serius never thought that such a thing would happen to me.

'Is it from Everdias?Those who can possess artifacts are more or less connected with the gods, coupled with the breath of death on my body, a group of mortal guys with naked eyes can't see the state of the soul.They'll just see it as proof of my demigod status. '

After thinking about the cause and effect, Seleus fell asleep in peace.Because it was the first time for human beings to come into contact with this world, and there was still a negative state like the breath of the Styx on his body, Seleus was a little nervous.

Coupled with the unexpected events tonight, Seleus felt that this village could not stay anymore, and he planned to leave early tomorrow morning.

......

"boom!!!"

The huge stone stick hit the battle ax held high by Seleus, but the huge force contained in the stone stick was still transmitted to the earth through Seleus, and the ground centered on Seleus was directly collapsed by this force layer.

"Why is there a Cyclops hiding on such a small mountain?"

Seleus' tone was a bit puzzled, obviously he didn't understand where this Cyclops, who was as tall as three Seleus, came from.

But it's just doubts, the strength of the Cyclops is completely inferior to the high-speed charging Chiron.Serius, who was able to collide with Chiron, didn't take this kind of power into consideration at all, but the caution he had cultivated since childhood still allowed him to use Everdias to block the attack.

Seleus met this Cyclops on a hill. At that time, Seleus had finished his dry food and was about to make some food to make easy-to-carry jerky, but he was caught by the Cyclops who jumped from the top of the mountain. Startled.

"Speaking of which, is the meat of the Cyclops edible?"

Seleus looked at the Cyclops' body, judging which part of the meat was more delicious.

"Roar!!!"

Seleus' performance seemed to have angered the Cyclops, who roared angrily, and the stench from that bloody mouth suffocated Seleus even at a distance of four or five meters.

"Well, even if the meat of this thing is given to me, I won't eat it. Let's solve it quickly, but before that, I have to make sure of one thing."

With both hands, Seleus parried the Cyclops' stone club.Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Cyclops' empty door was wide open, he jumped up and slammed the fangs of the Cyclops fiercely with his left hand.

"Well------!!!"

Cyclops' tooth was broken by Serius, and the severe pain made it subconsciously cover his broken tooth with his left hand and howl.And Seleus took this opportunity to glance at his unscathed left hand.

"No injuries? That means this guy has nothing to do with the gods?"

Knowing this, Seleus grasped the handle of the battle-axe with both hands, his legs were slightly bent and clasped tightly to the ground, and his waist exerted force to drive the battle-axe held tightly in both hands, and came to the helpless Cyclops. With a sweeping sweep, the Cyclops' body was chopped off in half.

The severe pain of the severed body hit the Cyclops' brain again, but this time it even lost all the strength to howl.The upper body of the Cyclops collapsed on the ground, and the narrowed eyes of the Cyclops looked desperately at Serius who walked to it.

"Looking at your situation, you should have attacked passing humans more than once."

Serius looked calmly at the Cyclops who had been defeated by him.

"With your brain, you can understand that your huge body will scare away passers-by, so it must have taken a lot of time to come up with the strategy of hiding on the top of the mountain and jumping down when passers-by get close, right?"

There was no pity in Seleus' eyes.

"Obviously it can kill the prey instantly when it hits the ground, and let them die unconsciously. This is also the safest way of hunting. But if you want to land in front of them, do you want to enjoy the desperate struggle of the prey like a cat catching a mouse? ?”

Seleus raised his battle axe.

"If you are like this, even if you are tortured to death by me, who can you blame?"

Seleus's ax smashed the Cyclops' head off.

......

In the originally bustling bazaar, people coming and going to buy and sell subconsciously stopped on both sides of the road, leaving the main road in the middle to Seleus, who was dragging the head of a cyclops.

Sensing the fearful gazes of the people, Serius grabbed his face with his empty hands helplessly.

He wanted to dedicate the cyclops' head to Lord Hades' temple, but he couldn't find a temple built to worship Hades.People's fear made him embarrassed to ask for directions, so he could only wander here like a headless chicken, praying in his heart to find Lord Hades' temple as soon as possible.

Although I saw the temples of Lord Hestia and Lord Hephaestus.But even a straight man like Seleus knows the consequences of dedicating this bloody and unhygienic thing to a beautiful goddess.

Just when Seleus couldn't find the Temple of Hades and wanted to leave, a gorgeously dressed man came to Seleus.Although his body was trembling with fear, he managed to force a smile to face Serius.

"My lord, our majesty the king wants to invite you to enter the palace for a talk."

Seleus stared in surprise at this guy whose smile was uglier than crying.

"King" looking for me? "

"Yes, my lord. Our King is looking for you."

Chapter 11 Seleus Still Thinking About Being a Mercenary

"Dear warrior, the Kingdom of Longdon needs your help."

Serius felt a little helpless, because his hand was tightly held by an old man wearing a crown.He wanted to pull his hand out, but he was worried that if he tried a little harder, he would hurt the king who gave him a good impression.

......

To be honest, when he was told that the king wanted to see him, Seleus actually wanted to refuse.There was no special reason, it was just because Seleus didn't know what kind of posture he should take to meet a king, even if it was just the king of a small country.

In his previous life, Seleus had never had the experience of saluting just because he wanted to meet someone. In his previous life, even if there were any important people who had to learn the corresponding etiquette if they wanted to meet each other, it was not something that Seleus in his previous life could meet whenever he wanted to. that level.

And in his life as Seleus, he has indeed seen the most noble gods in the world, but for the gods who can see through the souls of mortals, as long as you respect them, they actually don't care much about your etiquette when meeting them.

No one ever told Seleus what to do when he saw the king, and on principle, Seleus didn't want to salute anything as mortal as he was.

But because of the breath of the Styx, ordinary people would feel the fear of death when they saw Seleus, and in Greece, death is inseparable from Hades.Serius worried that if he behaved badly, it would affect Lord Hades.

However, after hearing the messenger say that this is related to the fate of this country and the people here, Seleus decided to go to the palace to see the king.See what he has to find for himself.

As soon as he entered the palace, Seleus found a group of old men with half of their upper body naked, arguing fiercely around the king.And these old men also stopped arguing because of the arrival of Seleus, and their eyes widened in horror because they felt the death radiating from Seleus.

But what made Seleus curious was that the king was clearly in fear like everyone else, but his expression was extremely distorted.It feels like he wants to laugh because he feels fear. The more fear he feels, the more he wants to laugh happily, but he can't laugh because of the fear from his heart.

'What's the matter with this king?Is this the reaction that normal people can make? '

Seleus was taken aback by the conclusion he drew after observing the king's expression, because the conclusion was a bit outrageous. Who in this world wants to laugh because he feels fear?

'Just right, I don't have to worry about what to do when I see the king. '

While Seleus was thinking wildly in his heart, the king adjusted his expression.He pushed away the officials around him who were unable to move because of fear, and walked towards Seleus with slow but firm steps.

Seleus noticed that his legs were tense and trembled unnaturally from time to time.Seleus knew that the king was fighting back his fear to welcome Seleus.

Looking at the king walking towards him, Seleus noticed that the king's eyes were a little swollen, and there were some dark circles under his eyes. The whole person gave Seleus a feeling that he was about to die from overwork.

"Praise the great and benevolent Pluto Hades, he must have heard my prayer, let such a powerful warrior come to save me and my people."

Serius said in his heart, "Sure enough".He took the king's words with ease.

"Yes, the great Lord Hades heard your prayer. Therefore, he guided me to solve your difficulties. Your Majesty the King, what made you look so sad?"

Hearing this, the king finally laughed in a real sense.

"The thing is, London is only a small landlocked country, but thanks to the great harvest goddess Demeter, she allows Londen to have sufficient food every year."

The king paused, obviously the next words were the key point.

"But there is no salt in Longdon. My people need salt to maintain a healthy body. Originally, we could use the surplus food to go to Atlantis to exchange for salt to meet our daily needs. But at the beginning of this year, no A group of monsters who know where they came from are entrenched on the only way from Longdon to Atlantis."

Speaking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in the king's eyes.

"People in Longdon haven't eaten salt for half a year. Look at the people outside. They are all sluggish and listless. Our children are always unable to sleep in the middle of the night because of the pain."

The king's hands clasped Serius's tightly.

"Fortunately, the gods heard my prayers. Hades, the great god of the underworld, has sent his mighty warriors who can defeat the Cyclops alone."

The king's eyes were full of pleading, and his hands were trembling all the time.

"Dear warrior, the Kingdom of Longden needs your help. As long as you defeat the monsters entrenched on the only way to Atlantis, I can betroth my beautiful daughter to you, and even you can become the queen of Longdon. One-term king."

Hearing this, Seleus was a little surprised.He could actually hear the king's lines in the Japanese RPG adventure game from the mouth of the Greek king.

'This is one of the rare good kings of Greece. '

Seleus felt the calluses in the king's hands, and it is estimated that the old king's throne was also obtained in this way.It is quite rare to maintain this original intention into old age.

Seleus decided to help the old king.

"I grant your request, Your Majesty."

There was hope in the king's eyes, and Seleus felt that the old king could not feel the death in himself.

"But I don't need your throne and daughter. If I haven't solved a single monster, you just need to give me ten well-made gold coins, and the head of the monster will be used as a sacrifice to Lord Hades."

The king was a little surprised.

"Is this all you need? Rest assured, as long as you solve the crisis in Longdon, the throne will definitely be handed over to you..."

Seleus stopped the king's words.

"I said, I don't need the throne, and I don't help you because I want to get paid. The reason why I help you is simple, it's just that you need help, and I have the ability to help you and I want to help you. "

The king was even more surprised, apparently, just as Seleus was surprised that such a good king with his people at heart should appear in Greece.The old king was also surprised that such a hero who didn't want to repay and help others appeared in Greece.

"Of course, if you're really sorry, you can build a few more temples of Lord Hades in the city. I haven't found it after searching for a long time today..."

Chapter 12 Fighting

Seleus came to what King Longdon said was the only way to Atlantis, but found that the so-called only way was a bit misleading.

This is actually just a small road surrounded by mountains. The only special thing is that the vegetation on the side of the mountain near the small road has been cut down, making it impossible for any creatures to hide their bodies.

But Serius thought about it carefully. In the Age of Gods in Greece, ordinary people wanted to go through the mountains and forests, and that was courting death.

And if the vegetation on both sides of the road is not cut down, those predators that humans cannot compete with can easily hide their bodies with the help of the tall vegetation in the Age of Gods to approach the passing pedestrians.At that time, every person who comes and goes will become a ration for predators.

'In that case, this is indeed the only way to go. '

Seleus looked at the dense tree stumps on both sides of the mountain and sighed.

"I just don't know if I got the protection of the gods or the heroes when I cut down the vegetation to clear the field of vision. Otherwise, how many people would die to cut down the vegetation."
