The Dragon That Devours the World

Chapter 23: Can Theseus outrun the tortoise?

The gradually mature hero walked into the bustling crowd and shouted loudly.

"Does anyone want the big wild boar on me?"

After shouting a few times in a row, the huge wild boar quickly caught the attention of the merchants. These well-dressed businessmen looked at the big wild boar on the shoulders of the hero, the sharp and long fangs, and the huge head. The businessmen were surprised by its huge size and asked.

"Where did you hunt this wild boar from?"

"It's in the valley not far away."

The hero said casually, and his answer aroused exclamations from the merchants.

It's the man-eating boar in Lampea Valley!

They talked aloud about the man-eating wild boar, its sturdy fur and sharp teeth, and the many young warriors who wanted to hunt but were killed by the boar.

"Young hero, please tell us your name."

The merchant bowed respectfully, and the hero said.

"I am Hercules of Thebes."

The name of the hero once again aroused exclamations around him. Compared with the wild boar, the great hero who was famous throughout Greece for killing the lion of Nemea and the hydra Hydra is now more famous.

Legend has it that this great hero was so powerful that he crowned Greece and strangled the invulnerable Nemean lion with his hand and cut off all the heads of the immortal Hydra with his sword.

Where he walked, many monsters were hunted by this great hero.

Many young warriors and famous heroes around were talking in a low voice. Some people looked at the famous Greek hero with fear, while others were eager to try, their eyes filled with the desire to challenge.

However, there are others who get excited when they hear the name of Hercules...

"Huh? It's Hercules?!

"

Not far away, a voice suddenly came. Then, the owner of the voice was wearing leather armor and still bumped everyone in front of him, then jumped and jumped in front of the hero.

"Pfft..."

Jumping in front of Hercules from a height, violent dust was raised, and the hero couldn't help frowning and took a step back.

What appeared in the dust was a young and handsome young man with curly black hair and bright eyes.

He looked curiously at the tall hero in front of him, then showed joy, took a step forward, grabbed Hercules' hand with enthusiasm, shook it vigorously, and said eagerly.

"Are you Hercules? My name is Theseus, Theseus from Athens. Hero, I am your great admirer! I have heard all your stories, especially your bare hands. The story of the dead lion, I've heard the bard say it forty-two times, and I can't get tired of hearing it every time, it's amazing! Oh, oh, yes, this is the skin of the Nemean lion, too It's beautiful! I've heard of its name for a long time, but I didn't expect to be able to see the real thing now. I heard that it's invulnerable to guns, water and fire, and nothing can penetrate the protection. Is it true..."

The young man who called himself Theseus was so excited when he saw Hercules that he couldn't help himself.

Hercules frowned, he had seen many admirers like this. As he has made more and more achievements, no matter where he goes, he can have many admirers, but it is rare to see such an enthusiastic young guy.

"You are... Theseus, aren't you?"

Hercules pondered, then said.

"Yes! My name is Theseus!"

As soon as he heard his idol mentioned his name, the young man named Theseus lit up and said excitedly.

"However, although Theseus is my name, I have used Hercules as my alias. Because my goal is to become the second Hercules, I want to make achievements like yours. !"

The young man named Theseus raised his chest and spoke proudly.

Hearing the young man's wish, the hero was slightly surprised and looked at him carefully. The warrior's experience and instinct made the hero aware of the abnormality of the young man.

The young man, who looks as handsome as a girl, has strong and well-proportioned muscles hidden under the leather armor. There are traces of years of practice on his fingers, wrists, and feet.

The keen intuition told Hercules that the young man in front of him was not simple.

"It's not easy to want to be like me."

The hero said casually.

The young man was not convinced, he blushed and sighed.

"I... I have defeated many robbers since I left home... By the way, there is also the Minotaur Minotaur of Crete. I killed this powerful tyrant with my own hands!"

When the Minotaur was mentioned, Theseus, who was originally underpowered, suddenly had an inexplicable confidence and showed off to his idol.

"Minotaur?"

The hero was surprised.

He knew the name and was said to be the king of Crete.

This king had a sad birth.

His father got a beautiful white bull. Poseidon, the **** of the sea, took a fancy to the bull and wanted the previous king of Crete to sacrifice it to himself. The king of Crete was reluctant to part with this beautiful white bull, so he secretly replaced it with another bull.

Poseidon, enraged, cursed the king's wife, causing her to suffer from zoophilia.

The king had to make the shape of a cow out of wood and let his wife get into it. The white bull, attracted by the wooden cow, made peace with it, and the queen became pregnant and gave birth to this tragic half-man, half-cow monster.

Because of this tragic birth, the half-human, half-cow king of Crete liked to eat people, so he forced the nearby residents to pay tribute to him with virgins and virgins.

Many hero warriors want to kill this monster tyrant who is half human and half bull. But the cunning king built a huge labyrinth, only it can enter and exit freely, and others will only be trapped in the labyrinth and cannot get out, and many heroes are trapped in this endless labyrinth.

Hercules knew that there was such a monster, and he planned to destroy the monster tyrant after a while, but he was unexpectedly preempted by the young man in front of him?

"How did you break the maze?"

Hercules couldn't help asking.

The labyrinth built by the half-human, half-cow tyrant is full of illusions, and there are many terrifying dangers, no matter how powerful a hero is, it is difficult to break free from it. Even for Hercules himself, he felt that it was difficult to deal with it, and he was curious about how the young man in front of him solved it.

But in the face of this question, the young man hesitated, scratched his head, and then showed a shy blush.

"Actually...actually it's not entirely my fault. Because that...that, the daughter of Minotaur likes me, and she taught me how to come out."

The young man hesitated before telling the truth.

It turned out that Minotaur had a beautiful daughter, and this beautiful and charming princess was attracted by the beautiful Theseus. The princess Ariadne gave him a ball of golden thread, and asked him to tie a section of the golden thread to the exit, and then he carried the golden thread into the labyrinth, so that he could finally crack the labyrinth of Minotaur.

"Theseus!"

Just then, a crisp voice sounded.

The young man and Hercules looked together, and saw a beautiful girl standing in the crowd not far away, and the girl looked at Theseus angrily.

"You sneaked away again, didn't you promise to wait for me where you were?"

Theseus suddenly realized at this time, punched and called.

"Yeah, no wonder I seem to have forgotten something... Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ariadne, I forgot again..."

Facing the girl who walked in, the young man kept apologizing.

At this time, the girl also realized the tall hero in front of Theseus and questioned.

"This is…"

"This is Hercules, the greatest hero in all of Greece that I have been telling you about!"

Faced with the girl's confusion, Theseus hurriedly introduced, his tone full of pride.

The girl suddenly realized that she had also heard the name of Hercules, but she was not as fanatical as Theseus, but saluted gracefully.

"Hello, great hero from Thebes, I am Ariadne of Crete."

"I'm Huai... Huaidra..."

Behind the girl, a timid voice suddenly sounded.

The hero heard the sound and looked around, and saw that behind the girl's skirt, there was a little girl of five or six years old hiding.

The shy little girl held the girl's skirt and only dared to secretly look at the tall hero. Then, as if frightened by the hero's tallness, he exclaimed and jumped into the girl's skirt again, refusing to show his face.

"This is my sister."

Ariadne explained.

"Hercules of Thebes."

The hero nodded and simply said his name, even if he knew him.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of the piano.

"Cruise..."

In the crisp and high-pitched sound of the strings, there was also a laughing singing voice.

"The gathering of heroes is like thunder intertwined, as if the gods are arrogant, making people tremble, but how can this thunder and thunder be as delicate and beautiful as flowers..."

"The flowers of this world are amazing and dazzling, why did you come to this dangerous place?"

Listening to this song, several people saw a pianist sitting on a wooden railing not far away, and the elegant and calm-looking pianist was looking at them with a smile that was not a smile.

Ariadne frowned, took a step back calmly, and approached Theseus beside him.

"I'm Theseus' fiancée, and of course I'm by his side. Who are you, unfamiliar pianist?"

After hearing that the beautiful woman in front of her was someone else's fiancée, the piano player replied with a smile after a brief moment of astonishment.

"Then please forgive me for taking the liberty. I just saw that you guys are very popular and don't feel like ordinary people, so I came to talk."

"Of course, Brother Theseus is very powerful!"

The little girl who was hiding behind the girl stuck her head out and said in a tender voice, and then she saw the piano player looking at her, so she timidly hid behind her sister.

Hearing the name of Theseus, the piano player thought thoughtfully, and then laughed.

"Is it Theseus who destroyed the tyrant of Crete? I heard that he is a rare young hero. When I saw it today, it was true."

Theseus heard someone complimenting himself, UU reading www.uukanshu. com Qiqi was still in front of his idol, and he was instantly overjoyed, and his face was full of praise.

But the next moment, the piano player pondered.

"But... ugh..."

Said, the piano player shook his head and deliberately sighed.

A very simple strategy, but the young and vigorous Theseus couldn't stand this strategy and couldn't help asking.

"But what?"

"In my opinion, although Mr. Theseus is strong, he cannot outrun the slowest tortoise."

A sly smile appeared on the piano player's face.
