"You five should pay special attention to Achilles. Achilles is the key to this mission. You must not let anything happen to him." Avoiding Achilles, Athena gave special instructions to the five demigods.
These five people are all legendary demigods for thousands of years. After being inspired by the main gods, they entered various temples. They have been there for thousands of years. Although they have seldom interfered with the affairs of the mortal world, they have Not knowing anything.
Regarding the news about Achilles, they have already had a deep understanding of it through several ancient demigods who participated in the search for Pandora's Box. []
They wanted to meet this young demigod with potential, but due to certain restrictions, they couldn't. Now that they are lucky enough to leave the temple and complete the mission with this young demigod, they will take special care of Achilles even if Athena doesn't ask.
At their level, there is actually no difference between countries and races. As long as they are mortals, they are the same in their eyes.
After telling the five ancient demigods, Athena slowly came to Achilles, looked at him with her beautiful eyes, and said: "Achilles, remember, here During a mission, you must pay special attention to your own safety, and even if you cannot complete the mission, you must return safely."
Listening to her kind reminder, Achilles smiled, then thought of something again, and asked: "Goddess of Wisdom, have the three goddesses of fate made a prophecy, can we return safely?"
Hearing his question, Athena showed a rare smile, but this smile was a bit cold and frightening. She shook her head and responded slowly: "Because of the appearance of that ancient palace, the fate line on the grassland has been confused. Well, not even the three goddesses of fate can predict your future."
Achilles couldn't help but feel frightened. Destiny is the supreme law. Even someone as powerful as Zeus cannot change destiny. However, an ancient palace can cause chaos in the destiny of an area. This is shocking. .
"What does this palace represent, and why is it so powerful that it can turn the fate of a huge area into chaos?" Achilles guessed in his heart, and did not ask any more questions, because he knew that even if he asked No, Athena won't tell herself.
"For some reasons, the gods cannot let you bring the artifacts into the depths of the grassland, so they can only prepare some semi-artifacts for you."
After that, Athena took out several sets of armor and spearmen's shields that exuded golden luster, handed them to six people respectively, and said to them.
Achilles took a set of weapons and equipment handed over by Athena and looked at them carefully in his hands. Whether it was a spearman's shield or an armored helmet, they were all extraordinary semi-artifacts.
In his mother's temple, he had seen many semi-artifacts, and he had some understanding of these semi-artifacts. The divine power contained in these semi-artifacts given by the gods was more than a little bit stronger than ordinary semi-artifacts. , these are definitely the best among semi-artifacts.
After handing these semi-artifacts to six people, Athena took out six exquisite rings, handed them to the six people again, and said: "This is also a semi-artifact made by the God of Craftsmen. It has no defense or attack capabilities. But there is a tiny space fragment embedded in them. The food and other supplies you need are all there, enough for you for half a year."
Achilles took the exquisite ring and played with it curiously. Even in the world of gods, not everyone has an independent space like this.
In his mother¡¯s place, there were many such semi-artifacts and artifacts with internal spaces, many of which were gifts from the God of Craftsmen. Unfortunately, because of the evil oath of the gods, he did not have the chance to get one.
Although he has the super space of Dongtian, it cannot see the light after all, and it is extremely inconvenient to use. However, if he has such a space artifact given by the gods, it will be much easier to do things in the future.
Just like conducting overseas trade, if you have this semi-artifact with an independent space, you can carry a large amount of supplies without occupying the space of a sea ship.
When conducting cross-regional wars, this semi-artifact can also be used to carry more strategic materials without having to worry about logistics. Even the huge loot obtained after conquering the next city-state can also be loaded into It can be transported to the semi-artifact space and easily transported back to the country.
Without any hesitation, Achilles casually put this semi-artifact-level space ring on his finger, while several other demigods also carefully put the rings on their fingers.
After Hercules gave a few final instructions to a few people, he andAthena and the other five superior gods broke through the void and returned to the heaven.
When the gods left, the six Achilles fell from the air. When they landed on the solid ground, they quickly removed their armor and replaced it with the semi-artifact-level armor.
After changing clothes, Achilles happily touched the armor covered with divine patterns on his body. The legendary armor was indeed incomparable to the semi-artifact. The spirituality contained in it was a huge difference. inside.
"Achilles, when we enter the grassland, you will stay with me." The powerful demigod with one foot in the quasi-god realm came up and said to Achilles with a charitable smile. .
Heracles had briefly introduced these five demigods to him before. The strongest demigod, named Sinis, was an ancient Greek king four thousand years ago.
The other four demigods are named Scaron, Delis, Nadris, and Atnis. Each of them is a powerful demigod from more than two thousand years ago, and is also a legendary king in various places in Greece.
These are five ancient kings. During their famous period, they were introduced into the world of God by the Lord God. Their bodies were baptized in the divine light. They survived for thousands of years and gained unimaginable power.
In front of these five ancient demigods who have lived for two to three thousand years, Achilles is just a toddler. Seeing this ancient king from four thousand years ago speak, he responded politely.
Where they settled, there were already six divine horses, which were obviously prepared by the gods for them to serve as leg strength.
No one knows how big that vast and mysterious grassland is, and they have never heard of any demigod who has entered the deepest part of the grassland and returned safely.
Because for reasons unknown to mortals, the gods of Mount Olympus never enter the depths of the grassland, so there are not many records in the books of the gods about the conditions in the deepest parts of the grassland.
In the few records about this mysterious grassland, this grassland is extremely vast, even wider than the vast ocean. Even if the eagle in the sky breaks its wings, it cannot fly to the end of the grassland.
Although Achilles and the others can use the power of the law to increase their speed exponentially, it will probably take a year or two to reach the deepest part of the grassland on their own feet. .
?????????????? These six divine horses are all different species, possessing the blood of gods themselves, and are very good at running. Not only are they extremely fast, but they also have extremely strong endurance, making them ideal means of transportation.
Putting the replaced legendary-level spearman shields and armor into the space of the ring, the six of them mounted the divine horses and galloped towards the north.
Going north from Pan City, in less than half an hour, Achilles and the others stepped into the border of the grassland. Looking ahead, they saw the endless grassland.
After entering the grassland, the whole world becomes green. Whether you look forward, backward, or to both sides, the grass is endless green.
On the way, they also met several grassland tribes. In order not to arouse the thoughts of these grassland tribes, they all chose to avoid them.
By the time the sun was about to set, the six horses had been galloping for three hours, hundreds of miles away from Pan City where they originally set out.
The sound of rushing water came from not far away, and the ray of the setting sun fell down, turning the entire sky and grassland red. In front of it, a wide river stretched across the flat grassland.
"Let's spend the night here. Let's all have a good rest and wait until dawn before we start our journey." On the bank of the river, Sinnis stopped his horse, jumped down, and said to the five Achilles.
Everyone jumped off their horses one after another, and the six spiritual horses went to the river to drink water, while Achilles and others set up a fire by the river.
The night on the grassland is colder than inland. The wind blowing from the north of the grassland swirls on the wide river, causing waves of water.
The rings given by the gods are filled with all kinds of necessary supplies, ranging from demigod-level strong bows and piles of arrows to tents, fresh meat, and fine wine.
Soon, the aroma of meat floated on the riverside, and the six demigods sat around the fire, eating barbecue, drinking wine, and chatting.
As the youngest member of the team, Achilles was responsible for the barbecue. Most of the time, he was there listening to the conversations of the five Gula demigods, occasionally interjecting a word or two.
"This mission, isn't it very big? I always have a bad feeling that there will be someone here who will stay on this grassland forever." Atnis swallowed the glass of wine.Drinking wine, he said in a low voice.
Several other people raised their heads, and there was no trace of joy on everyone's face, only a deep look of worry.
At their level, they can already feel their own misfortunes in advance. Unlike the prophecy ability of gods, this creature is born with an instinct.
Delis shook his head weakly and said in a gentle voice: "It can make the fate of a huge area chaotic, and even make it impossible for the three goddesses of fate to predict the future and the past. That ancient palace is probably related to a certain person. It¡¯s related to the powerful ancient god.¡±
Skarong frowned, as if he had thought of something, and asked in a low voice: "What secrets are there in the depths of this grassland? Why do the gods above never set foot there?"
Not only was he full of curiosity about the depths of the grassland, Achilles and several others were also full of curiosity, and all of them looked at the oldest Sinis.
This ancient king who lived more than 4,000 years ago had an unusual status on Mount Olympus. He was somewhat nobler than some mid-level gods.
Throughout the world, countless demigods have been born since ancient times, but there are only a few who can survive for four thousand years and step into the realm of quasi-gods.
But he did it. Now that he has stepped into the realm of quasi-gods, no one doubts whether he can become a true quasi-god in his lifetime.
In the Three Realms, there are countless gods, but quasi-gods are rare. Each of these strong men who have been promoted from demigods to quasi-gods is extremely powerful, even enough to fight with mid-level gods.
The key point is that beings with mortal bodies like them are much less constrained by the will of heaven and earth than gods, and have much fewer scruples.
It is precisely for this reason that in the three realms of heaven, sea, and underworld, those demigods who have the potential to enter the quasi-god realm are treasures in the eyes of the main god, and their status is higher than some medium gods.
Looking at the looks cast by the five people, Sinnis chuckled and said: "I don't know much about the things deep in the grassland. It seems that in a long time ago, on this grassland, A group of powerful barbarian gods once appeared."
"According to the records in the remaining books about gods, these barbarian gods came from the distant western world, crossed a mountain range that topped the sky, and came to this vast grassland. This is a group of aliens that are completely different from the gods in our world. Gods, they gain power by gaining the power of faith from mortals, making themselves more powerful.¡±
"After these barbarian gods came to lead the grasslands, they quickly gathered all the barbarians on the grasslands together and established a huge barbarian dynasty. Through the pious belief of these barbarians, they continued to make themselves stronger. Later, these barbarians The Barbarian God was not satisfied with this piece of grassland and extended his palm to the outside of the grassland."
"For this reason, the gods of Mount Olympus went to war with these barbarians. It is said that it was an extremely tragic war of the gods that lasted for hundreds of years. Countless barbarian gods and gods of Mount Olympus fell. Although these barbarians are very powerful, the gods of Mount Olympus are numerous. After hundreds of years of war, the gods of Mount Olympus achieved the final victory and sealed the strongest barbarian gods. At the same time, the huge barbarian dynasty was destroyed."
"But where countless barbarian gods fell, the barbarian gods left a curse on the gods of Mount Olympus. All gods who step into the depths of the grassland will suffer misfortune. The main gods are not immune, and it seems that they will not be spared. It is for this reason that the depths of the grassland have become a forbidden area for the gods.¡±
