The Kingdom of Macedonia located in northern Greece is the city-state that Hercules is currently traveling to. He is currently entrusted by the King of Macedonia to eliminate pirates.
Hercules and his team have been wandering throughout Greece as mercenaries, accepting employment from the kings of various Greek city-states, completing various unimaginable tasks. Iolaos continued to exaggerate the legend and finally created Hercules. The legendary story of demigods.
All Greeks, including the kings and nobles of various Greek city-states, believed that Hercules was the son of Zeus.
"You've really decided to add this child of unknown origin to our ranks."
Autolykos grabbed Hercules' arm and wanted to dissuade him from letting this child of unknown origin join. They were mercenaries, not a kindergarten, and he had no hobby of taking care of children.
"I think he should be allowed to enter Calais. This must be destiny, an oracle from Zeus." Amphiaceus told the oracle while wiping his spear with a cloth.
As the prophet in the team, Amphiaceus used the oracle as a reason, but Autolix could not say anything against it, especially since Hercules had already made a decision.
"Heracles, son of Zeus, protector of the great Athens." William said as he sat on the campfire stirring the firewood with a stick, while Heracles sat next to him.
When Heracles asked him whether he was a human or a god, William did not answer, because answering yes or no would not bring any benefit, but would disrupt the development of destiny. This was not what he wanted, so he could only remain silent. , there would be some benefit in not answering.
"Great guardian of Athens, this happened a long time ago." Hercules said mockingly, "I have been completely exiled by King Eurystheus of Athens and can never return to Athens."
In the myth, Hercules killed his wife and children and then went into self-exile. The same is true for Hercules in this world.
William looked at the bonfire absentmindedly. The firelight reflected Hercules' frustrated expression. There seemed to be nothing interesting to talk about between the adults and the children.
"Why do you want to follow me?" Hercules asked.
"Because you were the idol I once worshiped." William looked up at Hercules' face reflected in the firelight, his eyes showing determination, "I have been listening to your stories since I was a child, and I also want to be you. Such a hero, when I come to you, I think it must be the guidance of fate, because the two of us have a deep bond."
"Do you also want to complete the Twelve Great Trials? In fact, these are all fake. The Hydra is actually just a human being wearing snake skin. The Nemean Lion is not invulnerable. Everyone says it is me with my bare hands. To kill him, I actually used a weapon." Z.br>
Hercules smiled. He didn't know why seeing William's child's appearance reminded him of his own child.
Three years ago the King of Athens told him that he was worshiped like a god in the hearts of the Athenians. His answer was that he did not want to be a god, but that he wanted to be a good husband and a good father.
"It doesn't matter, people need a hero, whether the hero is real or fake." William said, "As for the twelve great trials..."
William was suddenly stunned when he thought of this. It was obvious that Heracles at this period had not completed his twelve great trials.
"What will happen if you complete the twelve trials?" William suddenly asked.
"What does it mean to complete the twelve trials?" Hercules was confused by William's question. He thought for a moment and said, "According to the oracle, as long as I complete the twelve trials, Hera will not Find trouble with me again."
"Actually, I don't know if Hercules is the real son of Zeus. Hercules and I are both orphans on the streets of Athens. It's just Heracles's natural power that makes him different, and after joining the army He stood out and was eventually favored by the King of Athens, who asked him to perform the most dangerous tasks. Many of these tasks later became the twelve trials. These were originally tasks that humans could not complete.
, everyone is unbelievable, not only the king of Athens, but also the citizens of Athens, so there is a saying that Hercules is not a mortal, so we follow the trend and guide people to think of Hercules as the son of Zeus. "
Autolycus came over and said, staring at William sharply, and asked in a stern voice, "Now that I have told the origin of the son of Zeus, Hercules, tell me why you claim to be the son of Zeus." Son of Hebe, who told you, and what is your purpose?”
Autolycus was always wary of this boy. He did not believe this child of unknown origin. William hugged his knees and said, "I am also an orphan. My father and mother have passed away."
William did not tell lies, but at the same time he did not tell the truth. Among the surviving Greek gods in the fairy tale world, except for the river god Hermes, there was basically no one else. Both Hercules and Hebe had already Fallen, his biological parents are gone, there is nothing wrong with that at all.
"I know Hebe. Hebe is the goddess of youth, the daughter of Zeus and Hera. She is the sommelier of Mount Olympus. But I remember that the sommelier should be unmarried, so Hebe's husband Who is it?"
Iolaos gathered around and pointed out the shortcomings of the story compiled by William with great interest. Although the gods of Mount Olympus had many children with humans in legends, and there were also many children between gods and gods, but there were Several goddesses are always celibate.
That is Hestia, the sister of Zeus who has lived in the world for a long time, the two daughters of Zeus, Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting, Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, and Hebe, who serves as the sommelier.
To serve as the cupbearer of the Olympus gods, according to tradition, she must be an unmarried goddess. The pure and unmarried goddess Hebe will not have children unless Hebe is married.
"If you want to say that you are Hebe's son, then you also have to compile a husband of Hebe, who will take over the job of sommelier from Hebe."
Iolaus warned in a low voice, deliberately showing off his knowledge.
After William was silent for a moment, he said, "Hebe's husband is Hercules. When Hercules completed twelve great feats and thus became qualified to become a god, Zeus summoned Hercules to Olympus. Si Shan, declared that he became a member of the gods, and Hera, in order to express her reconciliation with Hercules, announced that her daughter Hebe would be married to Hercules."
"Hercules."
William said slowly, and as soon as he finished speaking, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky.
Iolaus was stunned and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be better at making up stories than me. Hercules, the name sounds really good. A mortal actually married a goddess, not like the legend. Zhonghe has an affair with the goddess, this is simply great."
"Wait a minute, since you said you are the son of Hebe, then Hercules is the husband of the goddess Hebe, which means you are the son of Hercules and Hebe. Uncle, this little guy said he is yours. son."
Iolaus couldn't help but smile and said, while Heracles was a little stunned. Why did he suddenly have such a big son? The worship of a child is really troublesome.
"The son of the future!" Amphiasios, the prophet in the team, looked at the little boy and suddenly felt that this was true.
This is a prophecy from Zeus and also destiny.
