Stray Chapter 27: I can’t accept it!
Colchis.
This is a typical country in Greek mythology.
Different from the Greek world where humanity as a whole has entered the so-called "Dark Iron Age", this ancient kingdom is still in the "Age of Heroes", and the inhabitants of this country are generally stronger, nobler, and more powerful.
As we all know, the Greek world had different periods, and the inhabitants of the Golden Age were the most noble, but died cleanly in the ten-year battle between the Titans and the gods.
After that, the Silver Age, the Bronze Age, followed one after another, and one generation was inferior to another. The current era of black iron is actually a sign that the reign of the King of Olympus is coming to an end. This generation of humans is completely degenerate, greedy and arrogant, and advocates violence.
Fathers do not love their sons, sons hate their fathers, brothers and friends hate each other...Fathers are not kind, sons are not filial, brothers kill each other, friends are unjust, people's lives are already troubled, Olympus The immortals on the mountain continue to bring new disasters and take pleasure in killing and poisoning the people under their rule.
This is like a mirror image, which clearly reflects the problems of the Greek world. The changes in the human world are the reflection of the world of gods.
However, Colchis is isolated from the world, but it has always been in the "Heroic Age" that does not belong to the four periods, also known as the "Demigod Age". There has always been a saying that in the long past, after those ancient demigod heroes died in wars and disasters, Zeus would bestow the island of Elysium
Let them live and live there forever.
This is actually true, because Colchis belongs to such a situation. People living on the island don't say that all the demigods are so exaggerated, but one counts as one, and all the residents are ancient heroes. Their descendants, the ancestral lineage they inherit gives them the flow of divinity in their bodies.
Perhaps after generations of mixed blood, this divinity has only a slight trace left, but it still makes these demigod descendants extremely powerful.
They have terrifying powers, capable of hunting ancient beasts and gigantic prey alone, or building magnificent cities, which is how the kingdom of Colchis came to be. The people themselves are already descendants of such demigods, so the nobles and rulers of the upper classes are naturally more noble.
That's right.
So, King Aietes of Colchis is actually the son of Helios and Percy, and the brother of Circe.
Ms. Medea is the daughter of Aietes and the ocean goddess Ideia, and the granddaughter of the sun **** Helios and the ocean goddess Perse.
Strictly speaking, this family is actually a pure-blooded "God". Although it is a branch of the Olympus genealogy, at least one generation of parents is a pure god-blood inheritance, and "God-born", "demi-god" and the like born from a mixture of human and god...
It can be said that if it is not the level of Hercules, the average demigod is really far inferior to the origin of this family.
…………
"So, the family is obviously from the gods. Although they are not the descendants of the twelve main gods, they are also from a distinguished and noble background. Besides Helios, there is also the goddess of witchcraft and the goddess of witches. The relationship..."
The blond, blue-eyed, pretty girl couldn't help but complain.
"The kingdom of Colchis also seems to be protected by Ares, the **** of war. King Aietes also dedicated the golden fleece to Ares, put the fleece into the sacred forest dedicated to Ares, and sent poisonous dragons. The caretaker . . . turned out to have such a strong relationship, and this country still ends up like this?"
"Special treatment for special circumstances..."
The magician smiled slightly. He stared at the golden fleece in his hands and rubbed it vigorously. He felt the softness, and he couldn't put it down for a while.
"The intensity of the struggle within this **** system is actually far beyond your imagination, Arturia, let alone the relationship between Helios, Circe and Ares, even if it is Zeus's favorite lover , was not also killed by Hera's dead hand?"
"And not much else to say, lovers, brothers, or children, one of the twelve main gods including Hades counts as one, how many in all aspects have not been murdered by others? , oppression, their own dead hands, these are not uncommon at all.”
So the book review, the Kingdom of Colchis may be a long and ancient kingdom, a kingdom established by a former demigod hero on the island of Elysium.
Compared to the mortal kingdoms, it is indeed a noble birth, but for the gods, it is just the same
When it's necessary, you can arrange the ravaged pieces at will, to humiliate the enemy with hatred, suppress the opponent's power, and kill the chicken to show the monkey is really suitable. The gods are the swords, and all living beings are fish. This is the only truth of the Greek world.
"So..."
Alturia thought about it carefully, and then felt that what the master said made sense. There are too many similar incidents that have been passed down and become legendary history. Who can guarantee that there are unknown things behind this. How many more are there.
For example, the persecution suffered by Hercules is well-known to every household. Even though he is the son of Zeus, he was given a tragic fate in Hera's curse of hatred...
There is also the well-known Prometheus. The reason is that Zeus was afraid of the Titan and felt that his authority was offended, so he nailed him to the Caucasus Mountains...
The brutal struggle within the Protoss has reached such a level of dire straits. Their own family members with strong roots are in danger of being persecuted at any time, so the separation of distant relatives outside the family tree will naturally be even less. Guaranteed.
But having said that, it is probably because of the intensified internal struggle that everyone is in danger. Such an unpopular period is the reason for the turbulent rule of Olympus. According to the master, He just pushed the boat along the way.
And without him, the Greek world is also very likely to have the same ending in the recent period... as short as millions of years, as long as before the end of this era, which is bound to happen. destiny.
The foundation is shaken, and it would be really strange if it could last for a long time.
"And there is another reason for the concept of "constellations"..." The magician continued calmly, "After the betrayal caused by the giant Typhon, the gods spent a long time to Repair the Greek world that is close to collapse. "
"Reshaping those broken universes, filling the void, and restoring everything as new. Although this is not difficult for them, it is indeed a very troublesome job, and it took them a long time. time. And after doing all this, they thought hard and felt the need to step up their defenses.”
"At least the Greek world can't be made like a sieve anymore, and anyone can infiltrate casually. Originally, the three generations of Protoss were at odds with each other. If similar incidents happened again, those old and enemies of the previous dynasty should try to cooperate internally and externally. If the power is seized, the gods will also feel a headache..."
Speaking of this, he spread his hands and expressed helplessness.
After all, the giant Typhon thing is really disgusting, and Gaia is really not very kind. Without the help of the earth goddess, Seth could not have successfully put on the giant Typhon's vest and let his own The strength is enhanced by the bloodline power of the original Titan, which almost pierces the sky.
From primordial gods, to Titan gods, to Olympus gods, in the final analysis, they are all infighting within their own families, and the meat is rotten in a bowl no matter what.
But Gaia was dissatisfied with Zeus' overthrow of his son, so he broke the rules of the game without authorization, and even put on a face of "I would rather give foreigners than domestic slaves", preferring to help the gods from the distant Egyptian world Take control of the Greek world and overthrow the **** of Mount Olympus.
Some things can't actually set a precedent...
Once the principles and rules are broken, it is the beginning of a series of disasters, and the "first broken window" is often the starting point for things to deteriorate.
Basically, it can be said that in a situation like today, the twelve main gods of Olympus will join forces with the magician, and even in order to win his support, they have promised to cut the Greek world in half, and countless The sky, the sea, and the universe gave him something as a reward... It's not without the influence of this incident.
After all, there is a precedent set by the first generation of gods, and the younger generation inherits the ancestor's method.
Altolia listened with relish, and naturally asked: "So they decided to use the constellations as the defense line of the Greek world?"
"That's right. Although it's not really useful, it's probably that Zeus wanted to take this measure to prevent the story from repeating itself. But at that time, other people played the role of overthrowing him. There is no ambiguity in the beginning..."
Xia Ran shook her head.
"It's like it is now...but no matter what you say, at least when the constellation defense line was implemented, Zeus did have great hope. There's no one stopping him on this."
Artoria pondered: "So Miss Medea was... a victim of being implicated in the original history?"
If the twelve constellations are so important, then the golden fleece that sublimates into Aries seems to be very problematic. Is Colchis guilty? The series of hardships suffered are likely to be inevitable?
With such an inference, I am afraid that Jason will be put on the task of looking for the Golden Fleece, the gathering of the heroes of the Argonaut, and Miss Medea who is cursed by the **** of love and has a distorted love for Jason , and then help it successfully obtain the Golden Fleece...
"Probably..." the magician said casually, "but the golden fleece is in my hands now."
"Speaking of which, Master, how did you persuade Aietes to give you this thing?" The girl raised her eyebrows, bluntly reached out and took the golden fleece in his hand, kneading it a few times, Feel the strange feeling.
"Oh, this, I didn't tell him... The golden fleece hangs in the forest dedicated to Ares, and there is a poisonous dragon guarding it. Aietes doesn't check it every day, and occasionally it's just far away. Looking at it from a distance, as long as the dragon outside is still guarding, he is relieved."
The magician said as a matter of course: "So I went straight to the woods and took this thing out, and he didn't know it."
“…”
“…”
"It's pretty good, just treat it as Miss Medea's tuition..."
The girl said in a dry tone.
"It's alright, um, she seems to be here..." Xia Ran nodded, then looked out the window with a perceptive look.
The solitary wooden house stands on the top of the isolated peak that stands on the wall of thousands of meters. The high-altitude hunting wind is blowing constantly. The forest is like the undulating wheat waves in the wheat field, showing orderly ripples, accompanied by the rustling sound of the leaves rubbing.
Bronze hooves on both ends, fire-breathing nostrils, a bullock cart pulled by a ferocious divine ox clears the way, and the garrison at the rear rides a giant eagle and appears in the sky, from a black spot at the beginning, to A visible ribbon appeared in the sky.
It was the king of the Colchis Kingdom who personally led his warriors and escorted his daughter to follow the magician to learn magic.
Xia Ran now sets her own character as a hermit living on Paradise Island. By the way, she implanted the concept and system of a magician into the information framework of this world, and quietly added a setting. So everything seemed logical.
For example, the affected king does not think there is any problem. He does not think that magic is a strange thing that suddenly appeared. Instead, he thinks that it is a mysterious system with a long history, which is not inferior to witchcraft and magic. .
Under such a cognitive premise, I happen to find that there is an ancient sage who is concentrating on this way on the island he rules.
In addition, the other party also intends to accept his own daughter as a student, so the king naturally gave up the idea of seeking far away, and no longer considered sending Miss Medea to Aea to learn from Circe spell.
"Charlotte, go and bring Medea in, the others can just send them back."
The magician raised his hand and snapped his fingers as he commanded.
The doll maid with silver hair and red eyes nodded calmly and turned to go out.
"Change the past from the source and become a magic teacher of your own magic teacher...Master, may I ask, how do you feel now?"
Artoria looked back and asked thoughtfully, she thought this relationship was too magical and too messy.
But it seems that it's not the first time that my master respects the teacher.
Perhaps he has become accustomed to such a thing, but this is not certain?
"Oh, about this, it's actually like that..." Xia Ran was not too willing to talk about her own feelings about this matter, so she was very vague and perfunctory, as if she was going to get away with it. look.
Seeing this, the corners of Artoria's mouth were raised, and she persistently asked, "What is it like? Can you explain it specifically?"
“…”
“…”
"How do you feel from your daughter's father to your daughter's mother? That's how I feel." Xia Ran raised her eyebrows and replied very calmly.
"Master! You...!!"
Artoria was stunned for a moment, then embarrassed and anxious, raised her pink fist and hit his stepfather twice.
At this time, the door of the wooden house was pushed open, and a puppet maid with amazing mobility walked in from the door with a little girl as pure as a lily.
Miss Medea's eyes widened, and she looked at the two people in the room curiously. After hesitating for a while, she remembered her father's advice and teaching yesterday, and hurriedly restrained her expression, bowed her head and saluted sweetly. Sweet exclaimed:
"Teacher."
"...hmm."
The magician blinked, feeling very strange about the subtle inconsistency of the dislocation of the characters.
As a person who obeys discipline and respects his teachers, he is actually not very able to accept such a play, asking Miss Medea to call her teacher or something...
"Call again and listen... ah, no, don't call me teacher."
So he grinned...ahem, very serious.
