He and It

Xie Ning didn't speak anymore. From Echidna's words, it was not difficult to hear the glory of Gaia in the past. The era when she was in power was also the era when the matrilineal clan was the most powerful. Now these have all declined. In the words of later generations, the southern Cretan mythology, which has characteristics such as "mixture of humans and animals", "goddess worship" and "fertility worship", was defeated by the northern Mycenaean mythology, which advocates force and heroes and worships fatherhood. After the fusion, the ancient Greek mythology system that is well known today gradually emerged.

In this system, Gaia is just an old god who has lost his power. Zeus and other gods are the masters of the glorious Mount Olympus.

...But it really looks like the way to do it, hehe.

Xie Ning didn't say anything, watching Echidna dance a majestic and mysterious snake dance in the dim light of the night. The thick pulse of magic radiated out from the fertile soil, like a breeze blowing through a spider thread, causing the entire spider web to bounce.

His hands were itchy, but he didn't dare to run to get the drawing board. After an accident in which "he suddenly lost control while painting and the carpet became wet and hot", Echidena confessed to him that every time Xie Ning held the brush, it was like rubbing his bones and muscles from a distance, and soul.

"So, it's only a matter of time before I lose control, Dolos."

——The devil held his finger in his mouth and said innocently.

Ah, bah, bah, bah, Xie Ning was well aware of the flow of every muscle in his body, precisely because this kind of "loss of control" happened too many times.

Time passed by leisurely, and at the fourth party, Xie Ning took out the map and discussed with his pen pal, who was now a close friend, where to change the venue next time.

At the same time, because he had to leave Eleusis in three days, Philion could not sleep in the middle of the night. He stayed for a long time, but failed to receive a reply, let alone see Doros. He had failed the old man's expectations, and when he thought of this, he felt depressed.

"Get up and go hunting in the forest!" A voice sounded at the right time, as if it was the echo of his soul, "Didn't Xothoth already allow you to get prey in his forest? Go hunting and kill a lion, A bear, dedicate the glory of the hunt to Artemis, and the trophies of the hunt to the king you are loyal to."

Thinking of this, Philion stood up, took his bow and arrows, put his quiver on his back, called his servants to bring the horses, he jumped on a horse and ran towards the forest.

The forest was dark, but there was no sound in it, as quiet as a cemetery. There were no cries of birds, no rustling of deer as they passed through the bushes, and no long and terrifying howls of jackals, tigers and leopards in the middle of the night. He grabbed the bow and arrow, and suddenly thought of something in his mind: Everyone said that the lover of the devil would come to the mortal world on a starless and moonless night, and those court artists, people who were favored by the devil for inspiration, would also take advantage of the night. Go out, drink and have fun with him.

Maybe I can meet Dolos? The hero thought hopelessly.

He rode his horse and continued to look for prey in the forest. Gradually, a mysterious thick fog rose under the horse's hooves. The further he walked, the heavier the fog became. Philon looked back and saw that all the attendants behind him had disappeared, leaving him alone.

"This is strange," he said to himself, jumped off the horse, picked up his shield and sword, carefully pushed aside the low bushes, and explored the way forward. "Could this be a prank by the forest goddess to tease me? of?"

As he walked, just before the sky dimmed and a new day was about to begin, he caught a glimpse of the dancing fire in the distance. As he approached, the sounds of people talking and laughing, as well as the sounds of singing and dancing, gradually became clearer.

Philion put down his shield in surprise and went to part the lush bushes.

"Doros?" Philion said in shock.

"...Gah!" Xie Ning shouted, almost choking on the pomegranate juice.

In the long silence, Echidna did not speak. He stared at the mirror, his golden snake eyes shrunk to a thin line, squirming up and down crazily, trying to see which god had set this conspiracy.

kill him.

No, don’t do it in front of Dolos, but pounce on him and kill him as soon as he turns around to leave. Mincing his limbs, his father, a river god, saw his miserable death and was so sad that the river dried up.

kill him!

The pen pals stood up in a hurry and rushed to the front, facing the strong hero warily.

"Great son of Alps!" one said, "Why are you here, and who are you here for? Your sword is shining and so sharp, and for whom is it sharp?"

"Get out of here quickly," another person followed. "You know the etiquette of banquets. We can receive wandering travelers and unfortunate beggars, but we do not welcome uninvited distinguished guests!"

Philion pressed the edge of his sword and said majestically: "Don't drive me away, don't teach me to do things I don't want to do! I know how to chop my sword, how to walk like Ares, and win a victory on the battlefield. A victory, but I’m not here to start a fight, I’m just saying a few words.”

Then, he softened his tone and said to Xie Ning: "Dolos, don't worry, I was hunting in the forest and accidentally came to your party. Not only will I not hurt you, on the contrary, I brought greetings from King Esson. . The two princes returned from the shipwreck, and he woke up and gradually recovered his health. Now, he cares about you more than he cares about his son."

Xie Ning was stunned for a moment. He was still concerned about that kind old man.

"That's good," he pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I'm very grateful to him for taking care of me."

Philion was surprised: "You can speak! And you can also hear my voice..."

"Just think of me as having recovered," Xie Ning said sheepishly, "I'm learning to speak."

In this case, things will be much easier to handle. Philion stepped forward and said seriously: "For this reason, the king of Essonne invited me to ask you: Will you go back with me?"
