Type-Moon, a human love simulator.

Chapter 126: Hades, I Have Seen Through Life and Death
"Isn't this place inconsistent with the previous style of painting?"

Suer Lun couldn't help but indulge in this beautiful garden. Such a wonder could never be seen in the human world. He couldn't help but touch his chin and said to himself: "The garden in the underworld... Could this be the Paradise of Elysees?"

Even in the Age of Gods, the vegetation and scenery of the mortal world had to obey the rules of the four seasons. It was absolutely impossible for flowers and plants that bloomed in different seasons to bloom in the same garden.

But it has been done here, and it seems that this is not some technology like growing vegetables out of season, but rather that this place is naturally endowed with all the beautiful scenery in the world.

"No, my beautiful little one. Elysee is the paradise that Hades built for humans. This is my back garden, Persephone."

Behind Surlun, a graceful and beautiful girl was lying lazily on a bench. She had a beauty and majesty that no mortal possessed. Even when she was lying there lazily, she gave people a sense of nobility and elegance.

Surlun frowned but said nothing. According to the rules of the underworld, shouldn't he go see Hades first when entering the underworld?

"According to common sense, the dead are under the control of Hades, and I have always been unwilling to get involved in Hades' affairs."

The beautiful girl named Persephone seemed to see Suerlun's confusion and smiled as she explained, "But I think that beautiful creatures always have a little bit of...privileges, don't they?"

"Such a beautiful little person withered in the most brilliant 'spring' of life, what a pitiful person~" Persephone sighed: "So I opened a back door for you, from now on, you can be my gardener!"

"And, little man, my back garden is much more beautiful than Hades' Elysee Garden. You are the second life that has the honor of stepping into this place!"

According to the rules of the underworld, after the dead have gone through untold hardships, crossed five rivers of the underworld, bribed the three-headed dog of hell, and finally entered the city of the underworld, they should be judged by Hades. Some of the three future judges of the underworld were not born in this era.

After the judgment by Hades, the god of the underworld, he will decide whether the person will enter the Elysian Garden or be thrown directly into Tartarus based on his merits and sins in life.

"My name is Surron, Lady Persephone, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Surren said politely, "However, I still have to fight my way through the underworld and return to the human world, so I may not have time to be your gardener. If you wish, once everything is done and I have truly entered the underworld to rest, I will fulfill the task you have assigned to me."

Suren has always had a good impression of the gods, and Persephone's attitude was gentle, so he naturally wouldn't just start fighting and killing.

"No, my beautiful little one!" Persephone narrowed her eyes, shook her finger and said, "The dead are under the jurisdiction of the underworld...Any dead who enter the underworld will never be able to return to the human world."

"Otherwise, where are the laws of the underworld? What do you little people think of the underworld?"

"…Unfortunately, Lady Persephone, my adventure is not over yet. My journey has just begun. Even if you disagree, I insist on doing so."

Suren still wanted to resolve the situation through talk therapy, but Persephone just sat up and her gentleness just now disappeared.

"Sullen! You...want to be an enemy of Hades?"

The majesty of God has descended here. Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, who shares the underworld with Hades, has an absolute home advantage in the underworld.

"Alas, I knew it wouldn't be that simple." Suerlun shook his head. He didn't mind showing his strength in the underworld, because in his future plans, the underworld was also a part that needed to be transformed.

Demonstrating one's abilities in advance will play a connecting role in the drastic transformation of the underworld in the future.

"Beautiful Suren, I know you have the blessings of Hera, Hestia, and Athena."

Persephone looked at Surren, but still said, "But unless the almighty father god Zeus personally orders you to leave the underworld, then you can try and see how many monsters you can defeat."

"Is it not possible to release a Guigantes for you?"

Persephone's words only meant one thing: do you want to win the resurrection match?

There are no doors!

"..."

Suerlun was about to say something, but his lofty mind was the first to notice something strange, so he stood where he was and waited quietly.

Persephone was wondering about Suren's reaction, but the next moment, a more vast, cold, serious and deadly divine power descended here. He was like the end of all living things, bringing with him the aura of death of all things, filling this garden full of vitality.

"Okay, Persephone, don't be willful." The visitor's cold tone carried a hint of barely perceptible warmth: "Newborn soul, you have not yet accepted the judgment of the Gate of Truth."

"But I already know what you did..."

Hades exclaimed: "Sullen, your reputation and good name are well known even to me in the dead underworld. What you have done today has confirmed to me that you are indeed a good hero."

However, Hades then said with emotion: "Originally, for a good hero like you, I should invite you to become the judge of the underworld. Your status is only below mine, and you also have the power to rule the underworld..."

Persephone heard this and whispered unhappily: "Hey! Only below you? What about me!"

Surlun ignored the Queen of the Underworld who suddenly changed from majestic to girlish. He knew that Hades would have something to say next.

As expected, Hades changed the subject and began to say, "But, based on my partial knowledge of you, Suerlun, you will not stay in the underworld, right?"

Suer Lun nodded and said, "When people are alive, they have things to do, and when they die, they have life after death."

"My journey is not over yet. Even if I accidentally step into the underworld, I will eventually return to the human world." Suerlun looked at Hades and said, "After all, you also know that in the Age of Gods, there is no real 'death'."

"Yes, so I have always longed to build a beautiful world in the underworld that is the same as the human world."

Hades began to communicate his ideas with Surlun. He agreed that Surlun's ideas were great enough, so he also wanted to show his ideas to Surlun. He believed that Surlun might be the only person who could understand him.

"The world of the living is turbulent, while the world of the dead is peaceful." Hades said, "But the soul pursues passion and rejects silence, so before the dead enter the underworld, they will have a last bit of attachment to the world before they were alive."

"As the King of Hell, I haven't done enough!" Hades sighed, "The reason why the dead miss the world before they died must be that the world after death is not good enough."

"Humans have always rejected the underworld, but never the heavens." Hades said, "As long as I build the underworld better than the human world and better than the heavens on Mount Olympus, then the dead will not miss the world before they died, right?"

"No! No!" Persephone said loudly, "Hades, I told you so, didn't I?"

"I object to your point of view!"

“Death is the most equal punishment for all living beings. If the world after death is better than the world before death, who would still want to live in the world?”

Persephone objects to Hades's overly indulgent love for humans, saying, "Human happiness must be pursued during life, and to find happiness after death would make life meaningless."

"If this continues, the world will become meaningless, and everyone will pursue the afterlife!"

Persephone has said more than once that Hades is too tolerant and too indulgent towards humans. Living people who break into the underworld are only confined to their homes, and Hades is trying every means to make humans live a better life after death.

However, Persephone, who was born in the human world as the daughter of the goddess of agriculture, felt that all beautiful things should be in the human world. The underworld was the territory of the dead, and death was the most terrifying thing in the world. The status quo of the underworld should be maintained, or even made more eerie and terrifying.

Hades did not show any strange expression. The ideological dispute between Hades and the Queen of the Underworld has probably been going on for a long time.

The underworld today is a barely compromise between the two people's opinions. It has both the extremely terrifying hell and abyss to punish humans, as well as places like Elysee Paradise that are more beautiful than the human world.

He looked at Suerlun and said, "Suerlun, what do you think?"

It seemed that Hades had not communicated with anyone for a long time. He spoke slowly but firmly. Anyone who listened could understand his will.

Surren shook his head and said, "Pluto, your ideas are good, but humans are not worthy of such a beautiful underworld."

"You will eventually find that intelligent creatures need to be disciplined and controlled. If you only pursue beauty, you will lose your direction, which is a terrible consequence."

Faced with Hades' vision of building a beautiful underworld, Suren, who has always agreed with the concept of a beautiful age of the gods where everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, expressed his opposition.

This was beyond Hades's expectations. He thought Suren would support him and give him advice to help him build a underworld that was more suitable for the physique of human babies.

But Surlun gave him a heavy blow and poured a bucket of cold water on Hades.

Surlun did not bring up any other big truths, he directly told Hades that humans were not worthy of such a beautiful underworld.

The words were harsh and the reasons were abstract, so much so that Suerlun didn't even give a reason.

Hades could not understand, so Surren could only continue: "Humans need the freedom to choose."

"The paradise in the underworld you mentioned is so beautiful, so beautiful that humans have no choice at all. And humans who have lost their choice naturally have no future. They will live the same life forever and ever."

“Every day of life is a replica of the day before. Even if hundreds or even millions of years have passed, there will still be no change.”

"Hades, God of the Underworld, do you know how terrible this punishment is?"

"Punishment? Ridiculous!" Before Hades could say anything, Persephone was unhappy: "Sullen, if this is called punishment, then the underworld now is worse than hell, isn't it?"

"How can physical torture and fatigue compare to mental slavery?" Suren shook his head: "Pluto, you should allow humans the right to choose for themselves instead of just indulging them blindly."

"Human beings are creatures that cannot rest. The essence of human beings is labor and progress. If we lose these, we are no longer human beings."

Hades' philosophy is even somewhat close to that of the nine-tailed fox, a beast for entertainment. This is a very dangerous thing.

As a beast loved by humans, Hades is a catastrophe that can end human history. Hades is close to the concept of a catastrophe in human history. So for the Greeks, Hades' underworld will also be a catastrophe for Greece.

"Alas, it's a pity that you can't understand me either, noble hero Suren."

Hades was very regretful. He thought he could gain a capable assistant, but who knew this would be the result.

Suren's attitude towards him was even worse than Persephone, who directly rejected Suren and even wanted to punish Suren. It could almost be said that it denied everything Hades had done.

But Hades was not angry. He just said: "Time will prove everything. Whether I am right or not is not something that one or two people can determine. I will show you that I am the answer that the Greeks are looking for in regards to death!"

"Sullen, if you want to return to the human world, then try to convince me and Persephone in your own way!"

Hades said: "I agree that you are a great enough hero, and your great deeds and epics are still being written. In this case, you can go back, but you still need to convince Persephone."

Hades is such a god. Even though he is in the cold and silent underworld, he still has an almost indulgent tolerance towards humans.

Even when Theseus and his companion wanted to kidnap Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, Hades did not get angry. He just locked the two idiots next to the kennel of the three-headed dog of Hell.

If it were Zeus, he would have struck down with a huge thunderbolt long ago.

It is true that the Great Father God loves mankind, but he is the god who masters the concept of "father", and the majesty of patriarchy is even greater than love.

Hades left, and Persephone lay on the bench again, regaining the grace and laziness of the Queen of the Underworld.

She looked at Suerlun and said, "Don't look at me. I won't agree to your return to the human world. The dead should be treated as dead."

"Since the Age of Gods, no dead soul has ever been able to return to the human world." Persephone said, "If you were allowed to return to the human world, wouldn't you be called 'Conqueror of the Underworld' and trample upon our gods of the Underworld?"

"Hades doesn't care, but as the Queen of the Underworld, I do care about this title!"

It was difficult, Suerlun just felt it was difficult.

No one has ever mentioned before that the Queen of the Underworld, who was abducted by Hades in mythology, is actually such a difficult goddess.

These reasons and the like are not a problem as long as they are not taken too far, but now that they are brought up by the Queen of the Underworld, they become a huge problem.

"Don't think about forcing your way in. Although I'm a god who's not good at fighting, I hold the key to Tartarus, the hell!"

Persephone gave a warning in advance: "If you want to fight, be careful that I will release Gigantes."

Guigantes, Guigantes again!
This was the second time Persephone had mentioned Gigantes.

The so-called Geogantes, a giant, was the enemy of the Olympian gods.

It is the spirit of the White Giant God. After the White Giant God that swept across the Earth's Age of Gods was defeated by the Holy Swordsman from another world, his head flew to the East Asian steppes, and the remaining broken parts were scattered throughout the Age of Gods.

Therefore, many myths contain records of enemies with giants.

Gigantes is the spirit of the white giant left in Greece. He possesses some of the characteristics of the white giant. Even the Twelve Olympian gods cannot defeat him completely. He can only be sealed in Tartarus, the hell, waiting for the hero of destiny to help the gods pacify the giants.

Although the Mechagods' strength was greatly reduced after they were re-embodied, these Guigantes could actually make the twelve main gods helpless, which shows that their strength is definitely extraordinary.

"..."

It was truly a well-thought-out plan. Suerlun rubbed his brows and gave up the idea of ​​breaking into the underworld.

He is not afraid of fighting, but if this willful Queen of the Underworld really releases Guigantes regardless of the consequences, it may lead to a catastrophe for Greece, which will be a lose-lose situation, or even a mutual destruction.

Although Persephone might be trying to scare him, Suren didn't want to gamble. After all, it hadn't come to that yet.

After a moment of silence, Surren said, "Lord Persephone, when we return to the underworld in the future, I will deny Lord Hades's delusion with you. I also do not agree that the afterlife is better than life."

"This is the only thing I can think of to please you. If you still don't want to, then there is nothing I can do."

Although Suerlun said that there was no way, his aura became more and more dangerous, which showed that he was ready to take action.

Don't cause trouble when there is no trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble when there is trouble.

Fortunately, Persephone is not really so stubborn that she cannot change, and she can still be persuaded.

If Orpheus can do it by talking about a piece of music, there is no reason why Suren can't do it!
All we can say is that attitude is a mask of the heart. Even though Persephone is easy to talk to, she will act very difficult when she wants something.

In the end, Persephone successfully used the mask of "attitude" to get the promise she wanted from Suren.

The Queen of the Underworld nodded and smiled, "Beautiful Suerlun, you are really a very smart little person. People like you are no less than the cold and silent underworld. There is still fire burning in your heart!"

"Then go back, go back to your world."

Persephone pinned a golden branch on Surren's collar and said, "This is a symbol of my favor to you. Hero who has this golden branch can travel freely between the underworld and the human world in the future."

Since a hero like Surlun is destined not to be kept in the underworld, then he should be given some power in the underworld. In this way, Surlun can also be considered a part of the underworld.

"This is Su Qingtian's turn." Su Erlun shrugged. He was a hero during the day and a judge at night, and he could travel freely to and from the underworld. This power and grace were indeed great.

Even though he was manipulated by that little girl Persephone over the issue of the resurrection match, Suren did not suffer any loss. Taking advantage of others means having unlimited discretion, and Suren understood this.

"So, how do I get back to the human world?"

Suerlun touched the golden branch on his collar, and was curious about where the passage between the underworld and the human world was.

"Go through my garden, all the way up, don't look back, and you will be able to leave the underworld."

Persephone kindly reminded: "Remember, you are now a soul without a body. Every time you turn your head, your soul will be contaminated with the breath of the underworld."

"If the breath of the underworld is too heavy, you will never be able to return to the human world." "Unless you can regain the body of a living person, you can resist the invasion of the breath of the underworld."
-
I will come back sooner or later, why look back now?
Suerlun just walked, walking silently on this long road to the underworld that seemed to have no end.

From time to time, I heard various voices of pleas to stay, and these voices seemed to resound in my heart. If it was a greedy undead, what I heard would be the sound of gold coins. If it was a warlike undead, what I heard would be the sound of weapons.

As for Surlun, what he heard was endless suffering, the wailing and prayers of the weak, and finally even the voice of the goddess Athena appeared. These disturbing voices all expressed one will - He wanted Surlun to stay.

This is not some kind of evil thought or distraction, but simply the underworld's instinct to retain the dead souls that are about to leave the underworld.

Suren turned a deaf ear to all the pleas for him to stay. His heart carried the entire Greece, the Greece of the Age of Gods. How could he be retained by the underworld?
He kept walking, not knowing how long it had been, and finally, he saw a ray of light.

Just as he was about to step out of the underworld, Suerlun stopped, made a decision that would only happen once in his life, and saw a scene that would only happen once in his life.

He stood at the entrance to the underworld. With just one step, he could return to the human world, but Suerlun turned his head.

he saw...

Countless souls who are suffering but cannot be freed, sinners who are eternally punished for their sins, have repeated the endless punishment in vain for thousands of years, so that their bitter tears of lamentation have gathered in the underworld to form a river.

These dead souls and sinners had long been tortured by the endless underworld to the point where they had lost their human form and possessed strange shapes. They didn't know why they followed Surlun, but they followed him all the way to the gate of the underworld until they could no longer move forward.

"Enjoying happiness and suffering are the same concept, Hades. Have you not realized this after reading this?"

"Your love for people is close to evil."

Suerlun sighed softly. These undead souls were the representatives of those who could not be liberated in the underworld after death. Without reincarnation, all the dead would only endure the same experiences in the underworld for thousands of years, and every day and every year would be the same.

To the extent that this repeated experience completely erases human cognition and form.

But Hades thinks that suffering will erase human's self-awareness, and that enjoying happiness is fine, but he doesn't realize that this is the same principle.

The moment Surlun turned his head, the breath of the underworld erupted like a volcano, rushing into his body, and even produced a siphon effect, blowing the surrounding undead to the brink of collapse, or even directly dissipating in the strong wind of the underworld breath.

Every bit of the breath of the underworld that surges in makes Suerlun's soul heavier.

But at this critical moment of life and death, Suerlun had a new realization in his heart.

"Life and death, the endless cycle of reincarnation, are two sides of the same coin. I have never died, so how could I really fall into the underworld?"

"Death is just a new beginning. It wasn't until today that I finally understood the meaning of this sentence."

The more the breath of the underworld there is, the heavier the soul becomes, until it can no longer return to the human world.

But Suerlun felt that it was just a difference in "feeling".

It is because their own 'hearts' are not strong enough that they think their souls are too heavy to leave the underworld.

At this time, Suerlun, who had already understood the difference between life and death and whose spiritual realm was even stronger, realized the true meaning of reincarnation.

He already knew how to establish reincarnation in the underworld so that all suffering souls could be reborn.

But now, Surlen couldn't do it. He just had a draft, an idea, an idea.

The mind is more powerful than things. This is the true meaning of the mind being more powerful than things!
"At least I took the first step." Suer Lun smiled. Even if he was not strong enough and could not complete the task, he did not like to waste time. "With this achievement, my experience in the underworld was not in vain."

"Oh Hades, wait for me, wait for the day when I return..."
-
On the Argo, Surren suddenly opened his eyes.

Atalanta, who had been taking care of Surlun, noticed this at the first time. She was about to ask Surlun how he was doing, but found that he was full of energy and looked like he had just won the resurrection match in the underworld.

It’s not that no one has ever gone to the underworld. For the sake of his beloved girl, Orpheus once went to the underworld to ask Hades and Persephone for the soul of Eurydice.

Finally, the beautiful music that moved grass and stones moved Hades, the god of the underworld, and he allowed him to take away Eurydice's soul. Although Orpheus was unable to bring Eurydice back to the world because of his fear, he himself returned to Greece.

After that, Orpheus wandered in the wilderness for three years before he barely regained his sanity. It was not known whether it was because his lover returned to the underworld or because he saw too many terrifying things in the underworld.

But Suerlun had just left the underworld, and he was already behaving as usual.

It was as if he had not died of exhaustion while helping the Argo to survive the collision with the huge rock, but had simply died of a nap.

Suren opened his eyes and the feeling of his heart beating again finally returned. With his immortal body and eternal mind, if Suren tried to push the boulder again at this moment, he would definitely not fall into the underworld to fight the resurrection match.

At this time, he has become even more powerful and is close to the status of a god.

Even though Suren had no power and was not recognized by Zeus, he was not granted divine status.

"Suerlun, how are you? Are you okay?"

Atalanta's anxious call pulled Surren back to his senses. "Not bad, quite an unforgettable experience."

Suren touched the golden branch on his collar. It was truly the age of gods where miracles could happen. His soul took the golden branch from Persephone and pinned it on his collar. Then he returned to reality and found the golden branch of the Queen of Hell on his collar.

It really is God, what incomprehensible means.

Suerlun originally wanted to use his mind, which had just understood life and death and was strong enough to fully manifest a physical body, to repair his broken body. However, he found that his body was in great condition and there was no problem at all.

"Thank you Hestia, love you~"

Surren was in a very good mood, and he rushed out of the cabin and beat up all the Argonauts, dispelling their guilt towards themselves.

There is no way. The only language that heroes can understand is body language. Instead of letting them treat me with caution and dare not even breathe in front of me, it is better to give them a tight grip.

This method was too rough, but it worked very well. After being beaten, everyone was so angry when they mentioned Suerlun that they were no longer as cautious as before.

"Hiss~Sullun, I can see that you are fine now. So our Argo can continue sailing!"

Jason covered his wound with a grimacing face, while the heroes beside him said in unison: "Captain Jason, give him one more day to rest. Surren was too cruel."

"Okay, then let's have a party. Wine is a painkiller for men!" Jason clapped his hands and made the decision.

These heroes are always like this. When they are not working, they drink, eat meat and have parties.

In other words, everyone is a hero, and no one wants to be zero, otherwise we would have to have a silver party.

At this time, Suer Lun suddenly said, "Is it okay if I don't drink at the banquet?"

Jason was a little curious: "Ah? Suren, you still don't know how to drink?"

The heroes had never invited Surlun to their banquets before, so naturally they didn't know that Surlun didn't drink.

Suer Lun admitted frankly: "What's wrong? I'm only eighteen years old. I'm not old enough to drink, right?"

"Ah? I never expected that you, Suerlun, are only eighteen years old?"

Atalanta, an old girl in her twenties, suddenly became very depressed. Surren gave people the impression that he was so reliable that everyone subconsciously ignored his age. No one expected that he would be the youngest hero on the Argo.

During the banquet, Suer Lun really didn't drink. He held a glass of grape juice, looked at everyone and asked, "Speaking of which, why did you all look so listless before?"

There's no sense of accomplishment in beating people up!
Surlun was very curious. The physiques of these people from the Age of Gods were at an inhuman level. Even the old guys who were not in the hero units had extremely strong vitality. It would be a very difficult task to make these heroes feel tired!

"...Because we are just ordinary mortals!" Jason was silent for a moment, patted Surren's strong arm, and said: "Surren, I really envy you for having such a powerful strength."

"If we could have your strength, it would be much easier for you, right?"

When Surlun's muscles expand, they can tear the leather armor made of the skin of mythical beasts. It seems that only the skin of the legendary Nemean lion that is invulnerable to swords and spears can bear Surlun's vigorous power.

However, the Nemean Lion had already been sent, and its lion skin was worn by Hercules and became Hercules' armor.

Suren was wearing a noble-style toga robe, as he had no other clothes to wear. He thought that the clean and dust-free leather armor that Cynthia had sewed for him would last him a lifetime!
"If you had the same strength as me, I would be even more exhausted!"

Suren did not hide his attitude towards these heroes, but it was precisely this attitude of chatting and laughing that showed that Suren began to accept them as his partners.

After the banquet, Suren walked onto the deck. The sea breeze blew past him. The ordinary and thin toga he was wearing did not keep him warm at all. It was far less comfortable and close-fitting than his previous leather armor.

Suer Lun couldn't help but whispered with some nostalgia: "Cynthia, I missed you."

Although Cynthia is just a little fawn, she is the family member who has raised and accompanied me for fifteen years. The last time I went home was because I wanted to see Cynthia, but unfortunately I was unable to do so in the end.

The sadness of parting does not lie in the sudden pain of separation, but in the unstoppable knife of memories.

Suerlun thought about the excitement he felt when he left the forest. At that time, he didn't miss the forest where he had lived for fifteen years at all.

Unexpectedly, after understanding the difference between life and death, I became more emotional.
-
The Black Sea is larger than the Aegean Sea and the Sea of ​​Mammoth, but there is no need to cross the entire Black Sea to get from the Bosphorus to Colchis, as that would be too dangerous.

The Mammoth Sea has so many dangerous places, let alone the Black Sea which is much larger in size?
Every long journey in the Age of Gods carries considerable risks.

The Argo sailed on the Black Sea for several days. With no interference from Poseidon and the efforts of the Dioscuri twins, the ship did not deviate from its position during the voyage.

Before arriving at Colchis, the Argo inexplicably arrived at a place called Tinias, an uninhabited island with no signs of human life, only wild beasts in the wilderness.

There live many mythical beasts and legendary animals here, and even powerful heroes dare not stay here for long.

Jason wanted to sail away, but the prophet Amphiaraus advised him: "Jason, this may be a result of fate, or it may be the guidance of the gods."

"Why don't we replenish our supplies here first? Fresh water and food, as well as fruits and seasonings. These are always needed in our daily expenses, right?"

After all, it is the Age of Gods, and all the crops in the world grow on any island, from olives to cabbage, from potatoes to sweet potatoes.

The resources are so abundant that I don’t know how such a small place can accommodate such dense resources.

I advise you to stop interfering in Kamijou's affairs!

Orpheus was the son of Apollo. When he heard what Amphiaraus said, he immediately felt that he needed to prepare sacrifices to the gods. What if he really encountered the gods?
Suer Lun remained silent. He frowned and looked at the uninhabited island and wilderness in front of him...

Since they were going into an uninhabited wilderness, and according to the divine authority of the Twelve Olympian Gods, any wilderness without human inhabitants was the territory of Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting.

Wild beasts are also Artemis' followers, so if you want to enter the uninhabited island to hunt safely, you must offer sacrifices to Artemis.

Strangely enough, this goddess is often ignored in terms of sacrifices, and then she is punished by God to punish mortals. It always feels so shameless...

The Moon Goddess is so shameless, the Moon Goddess is so shameless!
Orpheus quickly built an exquisite altar, and Jason said to the altar: "Artemis, goddess of the moon and hunting, bless our harvest. The Argo is willing to sacrifice the most abundant prey to you."

Suren did not participate in the sacrifice to Artemis, he went straight into the forest.

The subtle sense of familiarity in Suerlun's heart became stronger and stronger. Ever since he stepped onto this island, he felt that everything was so familiar...

Why are this uninhabited island and this forest exactly the same as the forest where I have lived for fifteen years?
Surren wouldn't think this was a coincidence.

Especially after he walked 'home' along the familiar route he had walked for more than ten years and saw a beautiful doe.

“Cynthia?!”

Even though Suerlun already had some vague guesses in his mind, he couldn't help but be shocked when he actually saw Cynthia.

"you you--"

"It's me, Surren!"

Cynthia narrowed her eyes and said in a cheerful tone: "Nice to meet you again, my Suerlun, how have you been these years?"

Although Artemis witnessed every moment of Suren's growth experience, she still wanted to hear it again from Suren's mouth.

It's mainly about Surlen, and you'll never get tired of it no matter how many times you listen to it!

The clues in Suerlun's mind were connected together. When he was with Cynthia, all the strange situations were connected. He was stunned for a moment. When Cynthia called him softly, he looked at the little deer with a serious face and asked, "Cynthia, tell me the truth."

"Goo?"

"Are you Artemis, one of the twelve gods of Olympus, the goddess of the moon and hunting?"

"Cuckoo?!"

Cynthia quickly lowered her head guiltily, and couldn't help digging the soil with her front hooves: "How is it possible, how could I be that adult!"

"Still want to lie to me?" Suer Lun crossed his arms and sneered, "You are digging the soil with your front hooves. This is a sign that you are guilty."

“Cynthia, I’m not a child anymore, don’t try to trick me!”

“Who knows what you are talking about?” Cynthia simply denied it, “Cynthia doesn’t know. Cynthia is just an ordinary little deer…”

"...When I was nine years old, the second sentient being that entered the forest, that bard-like man, was the god Apollo, right?"

Suerlun fell into deep thought. As long as the conjecture in his mind was established, all kinds of details could serve as evidence to prove this assumption!
Seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, Artemis stood up and transformed from a beautiful doe into a tall, long-legged goddess exuding wildness and cold beauty.

This was the first time Artemis revealed her true form in front of Suren.

If you just look at her appearance, Artemis does fit the aloof personality of the Moon Goddess. When she doesn't speak, she has a cold and aloof feeling that can only be admired from afar.

The majesty of the Moon God descended upon this uninhabited island, as if a cold and bright moon rose above the uninhabited island. The light of God was shining, and no one except Surlun could look directly at it.

Artemis was delighted with the result. She said happily: "Sullun, you can finally face the majesty of the Lord God without being affected in any way!"

As soon as Artemis opened her mouth, the cool and aloof aura that she had created with great difficulty, like the bright moon and clear sky, suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a bright and cheerful girl.

"My Suerlun, I just wanted to give you a new dress."

Artemis took out a more exquisite leather armor and said, holding her rosy cheeks, "But I didn't expect that you would recognize my true form. It seems that I can't hide it anymore."

"Um emmm, Xinxi...Artemis, are you serious about covering this up?"

Suer Lun held his forehead and said, "It's too crude and too deliberate. You must be a very bad scriptwriter to come up with such a plot!"

Artemis squinted her eyes and listened to Suren's complaints. She suppressed the joy in her heart. She just felt extremely satisfied at this moment.

My Suerlun misses me, no one can stop me from meeting my Suerlun!
