King Kepus finished his instructions in a low voice, and five minutes later, a group of dusty soldiers entered the palace.
Each one was injured and disabled, his hair was messy, his face was covered with thick black ash, and his body was full of sweat and stink, as if he hadn't taken a shower in ten days.
One thing to say here is that it is true that the front part is all put on makeup and I didn’t take a shower, so I acted in my true colors.
"Brother, who are they? Aren't all the soldiers on the cliff dead?"
Perseus approached Russell in a low voice and asked questions if he didn't understand. In his heart, his elder brother knew astronomy and geography, so he would definitely be able to answer his questions.
"Are you concerned about this? The barbecue is no longer fragrant?"
Russell looked at Perseus, who was starting to look concave, in surprise. He didn't understand where this stupid kid had made the wrong move. Seeing his eyes wandering unsteadily, and occasionally drifting to Princess Andromeda, he suddenly understood the whole story.
I’ve been fed so much these past few days that I’m starting to miss women!
Well, he is worthy of being the seed of Zeus. If the toad doesn't grow hair, it will just follow that one.
Russell cursed in his heart, and suddenly his face changed slightly, showing an expression of interest, and his figure disappeared behind Perseus' latissimus dorsi.
"Everyone, raise a toast to our heroes, they are the warriors who dare to pierce the heart of Zeus! Warriors of Argos!"
Kepus raised the golden wine glass and shouted: "The temple is burning, the idols have collapsed, we don't need to pray and worship them. After today, the sun will never set, and the era will no longer belong to the gods, but to us." , because the age of mankind has arrived.”
Although the soldiers were fake and the speech was prepared in advance, the atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly became heated after Keps' affectionate processing.
Everyone raised their glasses and shouted "The King's Power Will Not Fall", sent blessings to the brave warriors, and praised the king and queen for their courage to resist the gods.
It seems that he has lost his mind, but from the perspective of the struggle for power, the occurrence of this scene is easy to understand. Royal power and divine power are incompatible. To choose one of the two, Kepus and these aristocrats chose the royal power that is related to their interests.
Amid a crowd of cheers, Princess Andromeda looked confused and didn't know how to react.
From a profit perspective, as the royal heir, she should side with her parents, but from a long-term perspective, Argos should not rebel against the gods.
If you don’t even have the strength to protect yourself, how can you talk about resisting?
Sometimes, Andromeda despised her parents and the actions of the aristocracy. They protested to the gods in order to consolidate their power, and the people who paid the price were the poor people.
"Andromeda, you look very bad. Drink some wine. This will make you sober up."
Queen Theopaea looked unkind, knowing her daughter better than her mother, and her daughter began to be overflowing with sympathy again.
…
On the other side, in the corner of the banquet hall, a woman in white was watching Perseus carefully behind a golden pillar.
The woman wears a simple hair ornament and no makeup, which is incompatible with the gorgeous ladies in the hall. However, her face is pretty and does not need any embellishment. Her temperament alone can make her look more gorgeous than any other.
Like a white swan accidentally entering a domestic duck pen, it shines with a goddess-like halo, dazzling.
Ai'e!
The woman's name is Ai'e, a half-human and half-god being, an immortal human being.
"Beauty, can I buy you a drink?"
A sudden sound came from behind, Ai'e's whole body tensed up, and she saw a big hand handing the golden wine glass from behind her.
The visitor was none other than Russell. When he woke up, he noticed that someone was secretly observing Perseus.
Considering that Perseus is the son of Zeus, it is not surprising that there are three or five elves around him, so he does not take it seriously. However, today, this elf was uncharacteristically and came a little too close.
Then Russell discovered that Perseus was very lucky. The female elf responsible for taking care of him had a curvy front and back. In terms of appearance, only Princess Andromeda in the entire banquet hall could compete with her.
"Thanks, but I don't want to drink."
"Don't do this, it hurts your self-esteem."
"..."
Ai'e didn't respond, her figure faded like a bubble, and she reappeared behind Russell. She held a long dagger in her hand and put it against his neck. She said in a cold voice: "It's strange. Since you fell into coma, your behavior has been completely different from usual. Different, what happened to you?"
"Beauty, I just want to buy you a drink. You don't need to touch me, right?"
Russell shrugged, ignoring the dagger on his neck, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then smacked his lips: "You should try it, it's really terrible to drink."
"answer my question!"
Ai'e narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly discovered that the outline of Russell's body that she had restrained was blurred and turned into a ball of black viscous substance. A pair of red eyes opened on the back of his original head, and a scarlet jagged mouth opened below, silently. Smiling evilly.
Ai'e was frightened, she retracted her dagger and retreated.
Bang!
Ai'e was shocked again when she hit a hard wall behind her. She remembered clearly that there should be nothing behind her.
Before she could make a move, her big black hands grabbed her slender neck, and the force coming from her fingertips made it seem like she could easily break it at any time.
Ai'e didn't dare to move rashly and stood still. The golden wine glass was handed from behind, and the annoying voice sounded again: "Beauty, can I buy you a drink?"
"Thank you, just take your hands off me."
Ai'e didn't refuse, and couldn't refuse. After the big black hand sank down her body into the shadow under her feet, she took the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
Bang!
After drinking the wine, the golden empty cup fell to the ground. Ai'e's figure disappeared without a trace. This time she did not appear behind Russell again, playing the infinite loop game of 'I'm behind you' with him.
"It's interesting. If you run away from me, I'll chase you. If I catch you, I'll...hehehe!"
Russell turned and walked into the darkness, hiding himself in it, tracking Ai'e who fled the palace.
At this time, in the main hall, the speech of resisting the gods reached its peak, and the crowd was so angry that they raised their arms and shouted while holding wine glasses.
Some people are like this. After two cups of horse piss, they no longer know their last name.
"We don't need to tremble or humiliate ourselves in fear! The gods need us and need us to worship, but we don't need them or any superior god."
Queen Theopaea picked up the wine glass, pointed at Andromeda and said to everyone: "Look at my daughter, she is more beautiful than everyone else, her face is holy than the gods, Olympus should be jealous of her , because she is more beautiful than Aphrodite."
Apparently, Queen Theopaea had not heard of the story of the Golden Apple and did not know the specific meaning of jealousy in Olympus.
The petty goddesses don't care if she talks nonsense after drinking. They only know that there is a woman in the world who is more beautiful than them.
Beauty brings disaster, and it should bring disaster.
But this time is different. There are not tens of thousands of muscular men fighting to the death for a woman, and finally relying on a Trojan horse virus to break through the firewall.
A thick and cold darkness slowly rose from around the hall, and the cold wind blew past, mimicking transparent skeletons with teeth and claws, causing screams. The lame wounded soldiers suddenly stopped being lame and walked as fast as running.
Black light bloomed and condensed into a pitch-black vortex channel in mid-air.
A middle-aged man in black robes, white face, and long hair shawl walked out, looking down at the rude queen and a group of trembling quails.
"My name is Hades!"
…
Outside the city of Argos, Ai'e whipped up a strong wind and landed on the plains. Looking in the direction of the palace, she frowned and thought about Russell's origin.
"Mysterious guy, no matter who you are or where you come from, you should not stay with Perseus."
"Beauty, a friendly reminder, don't be curious about me, otherwise you will pay for it, and eventually both people and money will be lost."
While Ai'e was talking to herself, Russell walked out from behind a boulder. His shadow ignored the sun in front of him and stretched to Ai'e's feet.
Ai'e was so frightened that she tapped her toes on the ground, wanting to turn into a strong wind and leave.
too late!
Several black arms sprang out from her shadow, as if spitting poisonous words, and quickly wrapped around her limbs, imprisoning them in place.
The posture was very inelegant. Ai'e's hands were clasped behind her back, and her straight long legs were tightly tied together. They were supported by four black arms protruding from the ground and held horizontally in the air.
Russell stepped forward slowly and looked down at Ai'e from a high position. His eyes swept across his pale face and stopped at the two protruding centers.
"Shameless!"
Ai'e gritted her teeth and cursed. Whether it was Russell's condescending eyes or the forced pose, she was extremely insecure.
The psychological defense is broken instantly!
When Russell heard Ai'e yelling and scolding, he didn't take it seriously. The two had just met and hadn't spoken a few words. It was normal for Ai'e to be prejudiced against him.
After getting along for a long time, Ai'e would never say this because she was already used to it.
"First, let me check where you hid your weapons."
Russell's mouth curved into a sinister smile, and more than a dozen black arms stretched out from behind, surrounding Ai'e from all sides, and they joined each other in synchronization with each other like a fly rubbing its hands.
"How dare you! I will definitely kill you!!"
Ai'e's eyes were blazing, and her face was red with anger.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid. If one me falls, there will be thousands of me."
Russell snorted coldly. As the saying goes, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be surrendered. A man who sits upright should not be afraid of any threats.
If he was frightened by Ai'e today, he would even frown and write his name upside down.
"Shameless!!"
Ai'e glared at Russell, having never seen such a shameless person.
"Go on, I'll take it as a compliment."
Russell's eyes glanced over Ai'e's body, and he tsked and commented from time to time. His big black hands were about to pounce, scaring Ai'e's face to pale, and there was a cold sweat on his back.
"Don't say I'm unkind. Now I'll give you a chance. I'll ask you questions. Otherwise, today next year, our family of three will come here for an outing."
Russell snorted coldly and warned: "Be honest and don't think about playing tricks, otherwise you will regret it."
"..."
Ai'e felt sad and angry, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to give in temporarily.
"Name?"
"Ai, Ai'e."
"Ai Ai'e? You don't mean anything else. Your name is really unpleasant. If I were you, I would wipe my neck and die."
Russell said something disgusting and continued: "The next question is a bit sensitive, how old are you this year?"
"..."
"Are you deaf? I asked you your age."
"I'm still calculating."
"Oh, you are as weak as a chicken, but you are actually an immortal!"
"..."
Ai Ai'e didn't want to talk. The situation was stronger than others. Russell was trying to catch her like a chicken, and he wanted to die.
"gender?"
Russell is business-like, without any color in his eyes.
"..."
"I asked you your gender, answer quickly!"
Russell sneered, not hiding his disdain: "Don't think that just because you have two balls of cotton stuffed in your chest, you can pass yourself off as a woman. Let me tell you, there are too many boys like you."
"You...you kill me!"
