Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 319 The Bizarre Adventure of Youth

"Oh oh oh, is this the sun?"

Raising his head, looking curiously at the bright sky that he had never seen before, as well as the sun that radiated light and heat, the young man let out an exclamation.

The young man had just left the snake-man world, and he felt strange about everything he saw, whether it was the grass on the ground or the surrounding trees, and the most surprising thing was the sun.

There is also a sun in the underworld, but it is a dim and pale sun with weak light and no warm breath.

Although he also heard that there is a big sun in the world above the ground, the young man was still very surprised.

In this sparse jungle, the young man looked left and right, squatting down from time to time, staring curiously at the moving insects, or poking those nameless wild flowers with his fingers, and laughing happily.

The youth who just came out of this world looked very relaxed.

In his mind, he imagined the prosperous world that he had read in books and heard from the deceased, and he was full of longing and longing for the world.

On the way, he also encountered ferocious beasts that wanted to eat him. As for those wild boars and mountain leopards, the young man held them in his hands like taming kittens once he caught them.

It wasn't enough to hold it in his hand, and he was curious to observe, seeing those beasts struggling in fear but unable to break free, the young man laughed loudly, and then let it go casually.

And when he was hungry, he clumsily tried to light a fire to eat meat.After some fiddling, even though he was ashamed, he managed to start a fire, and grilled the torn meat on edible branches.

After a full meal, he fell asleep, and after waking up, he walked around aimlessly.

If it was an ordinary person, he might have to be trapped in this forest for a long time, but the god took care of his child and guided him the way forward.

One night, just after the young man had eaten his fill, a noble and beautiful goddess suddenly appeared in front of him.

The goddess is shrouded in light, she is strong and sharp, majestic and majestic.And the young man recognized this beautiful goddess at a glance.

"Ah, Athena, the goddess of Minghui."

The young man with dusty body and disheveled hair hastily patted the soot on his hands, stood up, and bowed to the goddess.

The famous goddess smiled and nodded to the young man.

"Alcaides, your father has not forgotten you. He asked me to guide you. Now, go find your real mother."

"My real mother?"

The young man was puzzled.

When he was very young, he gradually realized his true identity. He was the child of the god Zeus, but he didn't know who his biological mother was.

"Alcmene, you should know one thing. Alcides is your baby name, but your real name is Hercules. Your mother is Alcmene, queen of Thebes. Many years ago, the god Zeus befriended her, and that's how you were born."

"Go west and you'll find your mother."

After speaking, the light dissipated and the goddess disappeared.

The young man suddenly realized, and at dawn the next day, he set off towards the west.When he walked all the way to a bridge, he suddenly saw a man under the bridge struggling and calling for help.

The young man jumped into the water without hesitation and rescued the man ashore.

After the man was rescued ashore, he kissed the young man's cheek to thank him for saving his life.

"Strange traveler, thank you for saving my life. Old people often say: Many people who look like friends are not your friends; and many who are friends don't look like friends. You saved my life. That's my best friend, please tell me your name."

"Hercules."

The young man remembered the name the goddess told him, so he puffed up his chest and reported the name.

"Oh, Hercules?"

There was a look of surprise on the man's face.

"It's really similar to my son's name, and your age is also similar to my son's, so it's like my nephew. My name is Amphitryon, you saved my life, how can I repay you Woolen cloth?"

"Please come to my house, I will appreciate your kindness, entertain you with the best food and wine, let you live in my house, and let the servants serve you as they serve me."

At the earnest invitation of the man, the youth, or, as the youth called himself, Hercules went with him.

Not long after, Hercules was invited to a magnificent palace.

The servants watched in amazement that their master and a beggar-like tramp walked side by side enthusiastically.

The man bowed to leave, wanting to change his wet clothes first, and asked the servants to change a set of clothes for their guests.

After Hercules had washed up and changed into loose and beautiful clothes, the servants were whispering again.

"Who is that beautiful and strong man? Is it that down-and-out tramp? I can't believe it. Before, he looked like one of those blah-blah-talking Carian savages. Looking at him now, he looks like a Exalted god."

The servants were amazed at the guest's figure and spirit, and became more respectful.

Hercules, on the other hand, didn't care about it. His heart was open and free, and he didn't care about such gossip.

And when the master of the palace changed his clothes, the man in the golden crown was also surprised by the appearance of his new friend.

"My dear friend, please forgive my impoliteness. Are you a god? Even if you are not a god, you must be a hero from afar, a prince from a foreign land."

The young man laughed and replied.

"Amphitryon, you never told me that you are actually a king."

Amphitryon also smiled, and happily called out his wife and son, held a banquet, and let himself and his family warmly receive this foreign guest.

At the banquet, Hercules was amazed by all kinds of strange dishes.

Even though she is also highly respected in Nanuo City, the goddess of poisonous snake is not a goddess of pleasure. Her life is simple, and so is her adopted son, and she does not receive any extravagant entertainment.In contrast, the enjoyment of a human king is such that Hercules has never seen it.

At the banquet, accompanied by singing, music and dancing, the two talked more and more happily, so Amphitryon asked Hercules why he came.

"Hercules, why have you come here?"

Hercules didn't hide, he said frankly.

"I was taken away after I was born, and I have been in a foreign land for many years. The goddess Athena suddenly appeared a few days ago and told me that my mother is in the west. Let me go west to find my mother."

"Then do you know who your mother is?"

Amphitryon asked curiously.

"My mother was Alcmene, queen of Thebes."

As soon as the words fell, the whole banquet quickly fell silent. The servants, the queen, and even King Amphitryon all showed expressions of surprise.

The queen, the beauty who smiled at the corner of her mouth but occasionally showed sadness, looked at Hercules in surprise at this moment, covering her mouth with one hand, as if she was surprised and a little excited.

The king's face was very surprised, and he was stunned.

He opened his mouth and asked softly.

"Hercules, do you know where this is?"

Hercules shook his head.

There was a complicated expression on the king's face, and then he sighed.

"This is Thebes, I am the king of Thebes, and my wife is Queen Alcmene."

"Eighteen years ago, my wife became pregnant and gave birth to two children. One is my child, which is also the Iphecles in front of you; the other is the child of the god, who was born by a Stolen by the giant eagle..."

After that, mother and son recognized each other and cried.

As for Amphitryon, even though he was in a complicated mood, he was an upright and hospitable person. He was grateful to Hercules for saving his life, so he was also willing to treat Hercules as his own child, and let him be from now on. Just stay here.

In the air, Athena watched what happened below her, nodded, and went back to report to Zeus.

Although this great hero who had just entered the world was still ignorant, Athena could clearly realize that Zeus cared deeply about him, caring and loving him far more than all mortal heirs.

But Athena was paying attention to everything below her, but she didn't expect that she was also paying attention to a certain pair of eyes.

"Tch, a bunch of things that hide their heads and show their tails."

The owner of those eyes looked at the distant goddess above his head and sneered.

On Hercules' shoulder, where no one could notice, was actually a small snake.

The little snake coiled lazily around his shoulder, but neither man nor god could see it.

Although he said that he didn't seem to care about Hercules, the big snake has always been talking nonsense about things like language, and it can be changed at any time as needed.

In fact, even the big snake can clearly realize the difficulty of this little meat ball, so when he threw the young man into the world, he had already quietly lodged a thought on his shoulder.

This idea has no special ability, it is just observation, to watch every move of the young man.

"I'd like to see what you can do."

Beside the candlelight, the young man was talking to his mother, his face was full of excitement and joy, while his mother was smiling and nodding from time to time.

And the little snake that no one could see was lying on the young man's shoulder, watching all this indifferently.
