Theseus withdrew his gaze, looked at Lycomedes aside, and asked: "Lycomedes, where is my father's wealth hidden? On the top of this mountain, I don't have any Discover something special!¡±
Lycomedes sneered in his heart, but still maintained the gentle look on his face. He stretched out his hand to help Theseus up, pointed to the cliff not far away, and said with a smile: "In the past, although there were few people here, Some people come, but nearby residents also come here occasionally to pick up bird eggs. In order to prevent others from discovering the wealth, I hid it in a place where no one can find it."
After saying that, he supported Theseus, who was exhausted physically and mentally, and walked towards the edge of the cliff. Because of his previous pretentiousness, Theseus had no doubts in his heart. []
"Wow"
Under the cliff, the turbulent waves kept hitting the cliff, splashing large white waves.
Theseus used the curved scepter to support his body, and looked down the cliff. The cliff hundreds of meters high was bare, and he did not see any caves or the like.
He raised his head, looked at Lycomedes beside him in confusion, and asked: "Lycomedes, is that wealth hidden under this cliff?"
Lycomedes threw away his arm, the gentle smile on his face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, replaced by a cold smile.
Looking at Lycomedes whose expression changed, Theseus was stunned for a moment. Although he was old and his body was broken, his head was still functioning well.
"Lycomedes, what do you mean?"
Lycomedes grinned and laughed loudly. His eyes full of cold luster stared at Theseus and mocked: "Theseus, it seems that you are really old. I didn¡¯t realize it until now. You look so embarrassed and want to get that huge wealth. It¡¯s really a fool¡¯s errand.¡±
Theseus's face turned gloomy, and he moved his body slightly to the side, staring at the laughing Lycomedes without blinking an eye, and asked sternly: "You brought me here because you wanted to My life, and then I can take possession of the wealth left by my father in an open and honest manner?"
Lycomedes smiled and nodded. If he had some scruples about Theseus before, but now after seeing his embarrassed look, all scruples have disappeared.
Now that there were only two of them on the top of the mountain, he was fully confident that he would kill the already old Theseus and throw him into the sea.
"Yes, the wealth your father left behind is not here, but is hidden in my palace. The reason why I brought you here is to kill you. Only if you die, I will Only then can we safely possess that huge wealth.¡±
Having said this, he clicked his tongue and said: "What a pity, the once glorious King of Athens has now become like this. I was afraid of your reputation before, but now it seems that I was too careful. Just you. With your current appearance, an ordinary soldier can easily kill you."
Being ridiculed by him repeatedly, Theseus's face turned livid, and his originally warm heart became completely cold at this moment.
Lycomedes¡¯ murderous intent was fully demonstrated, but he was no longer the high-spirited King of Athens, but an old man who couldn¡¯t even walk without breathing.
The reason why Lycomedes was so confident was precisely because he saw this. A tiger with its claws and teeth removed no longer poses any threat.
"Whatever you want to know, I'll kill you, and now you can go on your way in peace." Lycomedes walked towards Theseus step by step with a cold smile.
At this time, Theseus was already disheartened. Facing the wolf-like king of Skyros in front of him, he could not see any chance of survival.
He slowly moved his slightly trembling legs. Behind him was the cliff. Under the cliff was the raging sea. As long as he fell, there would be no chance of survival.
"Don't blame me. If you blame me, blame yourself for thinking that other people are too kind. Even gods would be tempted by such a huge wealth, let alone a mortal." Lycomedes' words pronounced the verdict of Theseus Si's death date.
He raised his arms and pushed hard towards Theseus. At this time, Theseus had already retreated to the edge of the cliff. If he pushed him, he would fall off the cliff.
"Stop"
Just when Theseus closed his eyes and waited for death to come to him, a deep and loud roar came from not far away.
Just like the thunder falling from the sky, the entire mountain seemed to tremble slightly.?A few times. At the same time, a burly figure leapt up from the mountainside, like an agile leopard, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the top of the mountain.
"Huh, fortunately, I finally arrived at the last moment." Looking at the old man who was already standing on the edge of the cliff, Achilles patted his chest, feeling scared for a while.
"Lycomedes, as the king of Skyros and a friend of Aegeus, you want to kill his son Theseus because you are greedy for the wealth he left behind. Your behavior disgusts even the gods. .¡±
After calming down, he stood on the top of the mountain holding a spearman, looking at Lycomedes with his bright eyes, and shouted loudly.
Lycomedes was startled by the sudden appearance of the young warrior. After hearing the other party's repeated scoldings, his heart was in suspense, the muscles on his face were tense, and his expression was extremely ugly.
His mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of ways to deal with it, while his feet were moving silently, trying to get closer to Theseus.
"Young hero, no matter which prosperous city-state you come from, this is a grudge between Theseus and I. Please don't interfere."
Achilles snorted coldly in his nose, looked at the untrustworthy king with disdain in his eyes, and said coldly: "Lycomedes, you shameless person, you have committed such a violation." If you go against your oath, even the gods will not forgive you. When you die, your soul will fall into the realm and endure the most painful torture."
Lycomedes's expression kept changing. Achilles' words after his death touched his pain. He roared at Achilles angrily: "This is my kingdom. Outsiders, take it with you." Your spearmen, get out of my territory, I don¡¯t need a guy like you with no hair to talk about my affairs.¡±
While roaring, his feet were still moving, constantly closing the distance between him and Theseus. He knew that only by controlling Theseus in his own hands could he gain the space of the vortex.
In terms of pure force, he is far inferior to those legendary demigods of the first generation. However, nearly a hundred years later, after most of the first generation demigods died, he is still alive and well, so he naturally has some outstanding abilities.
Although he did not know the identity of the young hero in front of him, he felt a strong dangerous aura from his body. It was precisely because of this that he did not take action directly.
"Lycomedes, you'd better stop being so clever. Even if you have Theseus in your hands, do you think you can threaten me?" Achilles looked like a clown. , watching his little actions in private.
When the other party saw through his thoughts, Lycomedes's face changed several times, becoming more and more gloomy. He stopped temporarily, thinking about advancement and retreat.
Although Achilles never made any moves, he just stood there with the spearman in his hand emitting a little light, but it put great pressure on him and made him dare not make any other moves.
After a long time, he sighed, feeling exhausted, and said feebly: "Young man, you won, tell me, what do you want?"
Achilles walked forward slowly and asked in a cold voice: "Tell me where the wealth left by King Aegeus is?"
The purpose of meeting the other party was also for that fortune. Lycomedes felt distressed in his heart, but when he saw the spearman with a cold light, he felt a chill in his body.
He was fighting in his heart, and finally he laughed bitterly, as if his energy had been drained, and his whole body was a little decadent, and he said: "Forget it, that wealth doesn't belong to me anyway, you want it?" If so, I¡¯ll give it to you. In my palace, there is a deep well, and the wealth is hidden under the well.¡±
"You are a bastard who doesn't keep his oath. I can't tell whether what you said is true or false. To be on the safe side, I have to work hard for you to stay here for a while. After I take out the wealth, I will naturally let you go. .¡±
Because Lycomedes left him with the impression that he was an insidious villain, in order to ensure that he did not play tricks, Achilles decided to keep him here temporarily, and then let him leave after taking out the wealth. .
Although Lycomedes was a little reluctant, Achilles was too strong, and just the breath coming from his body made him breathless. In order to avoid the physical pain, he had no choice but to let Achilles do what he did.
After secretly taking out a rough rope from the cave, and quickly tying up Lycomedes's hands and feet, Achilles turned his attention to Theseus.
"King of Athens, the former legendary demigod of Athens, are you okay?"
Although just nowAfter experiencing that life and death crisis, Theseus' expression did not change much. After all, he had experienced many dangerous hardships in his life, and even entered the underworld with his companions to abduct the Queen of the Underworld.
The old man shook his head, bent his stooped body, and bowed to Achilles to thank you: "Young demigod, thank you for rescuing me from the hands of death."
