Zongman: People in Chaldea, all the group members are wives

[“Woooooo!” (I’m still here! Even if I can’t beat you, I can still take you and run away, Zoe!)]

[White Wolf has always been inexplicably confident in his ability to escape.]

[It claims that fighting is not its forte, and its best skill is running away! ]

[As long as it wants to escape, there is nothing in this world that can trap it! ]

[“Is being good at running away something to be proud of?”]

[You can't help but laugh or cry, and you always feel that Togo might have grown crooked. ]

[From the appearance, it is obviously unusual. 】

[The white wolf fur is elegant and beautiful, and its body is majestic, and it looks like it can fight. 】

[But he is good at running away. He is really unique. 】

[Is this the legendary silver-shaft wax spear head? It looks good but is not useful? ]

[Togo expressed dissatisfaction with this. ]

[It tells you plausibly that staying alive is the most important thing! When facing an unbeatable enemy, only by being good at escaping can you find a glimmer of hope! ]

[You know Togo is making excuses, but you can't really refute it.]

[When facing a strong person, people who are good at escaping do have a higher chance of surviving. ]

【This is a fact.】

[In this way, as you, Anna, and Togo chatted, you gradually approached the place where the Minotaur was imprisoned.]

【That is the center of the maze. 】

【Minos hired Daedalus to create a "cage". 】

【Flowers of various colors are in full bloom, and the green grass is full of vitality. 】

[From time to time, naughty birds would fly over, land on the huge minotaur and sing.]

[The Minotaur sat cross-legged quietly, carefully nurturing the growth of each flower, fearing that he would be too strong and hurt them.]

[From your perspective, the Minotaur doesn't look like a man-eating monster at all, but more like a gentle, naive child.]

[But the white bones scattered at its feet remind you that the "child" in front of you is indeed a man-eating monster. ]

.................................................. ................

The aura emanating from the Minotaur made Togo a little scared.

The white wolf looks majestic, but it is actually very timid.

It protected Lin Yi and Anna in front of it, ready to escape at any time.

Anna looked at Togo with contempt, then silently took out the black sickle and was about to take action.

But he was stopped by Lin Yi.

"Don't worry, I want to talk to it first."

"No! It's dangerous!"

Anna refuted Lin Yi without even thinking about it.

"It's okay, it won't attack me."

Perhaps because of the term "affinity among all things", Lin Yi felt that the Minotaur had no ill will towards him.

Even though it was now only thirty meters away, the minotaur did not react at all and still stared blankly at the flower in his hand.

Lin Yi asked Anna and Togo to stay where they were, and then he walked to the Minotaur alone and sat down.

In front of the Minotaur, who was three or four meters tall, Lin Yi was no different from a toy.

If it moves even the slightest, it can easily tear the fragile boy in front of it into pieces.

Anna's heart was in her throat, and Togo was ready to provide support at any time and take Lin Yi away.

However, the Minotaur just looked up at Lin Yi and continued to do his own thing.

Its fingers, as thick as an adult thigh, carefully picked up a dying flower.

Then, he used a finger to dig up the soil, ready to plant it.

At this moment, a slender white hand gently pressed on the Minotaur's fingers.

"Let me help you."

Under the terrified gaze of Anna and Togo, Lin Yi took the withered flower from the Minotaur's hand, put it into the pit, and then gently smoothed the soil.

"Is there water?"

The boy asked the Minotaur to fetch some water, as if he were talking to a playmate.

"If I don't water it, I'm afraid this flower won't survive."

"Have!"

A powerful voice came from the mouth of the minotaur.

It hasn't spoken to anyone for a long time, so its pronunciation is inevitably a little strange.

But it's understandable.

"Then go get some. After some time, the flower should be able to recover."

The environment in the Age of Gods is very good, and anything planted can survive. A flower that is about to wither is naturally no exception.

The Minotaur followed Lin Yi's instructions, fetched water, and irrigated the plants carefully.

When the little flower came back to life, a childlike innocent smile appeared on its scary face.

"Thank you."

The Minotaur looked at the handsome young man in front of him and guessed his purpose.

"You are here to kill me, right? Then do it. I won't resist."

"But before you kill me, I have a request that you can grant me."

Lin Yi didn't ask what the request was, and agreed immediately: "Okay."

The Minotaur was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. It could feel Lin Yi's kindness towards it.

This was a special emotion the Minotaur had never experienced before.

Since birth, it has been trapped in a maze, with only flowers, plants and birds for company.

Although this kind of day is not bad, the monster still feels lonely.

It longed to leave the maze and see the outside world.

I also long to make true friends and travel across oceans and continents with them.

But, unfortunately...

How can a monster that has eaten humans make friends with human heroes?

The Minotaur thought for a long time, and finally lowered his head in frustration.

"Forget it, I have no more requests."

"just kill me."

Chapter 31: Good night, Minotaur! (Please collect it!)

[Although it is a man-eating monster, the Minotaur's mentality is not much different from that of a seven or eight-year-old child in your opinion.]

[It retains the original innocence of life, and does not know what is evil or what is good. It does things based on the most basic and simple judgment logic.]

Therefore, the Minotaur eats humans, because these people are sent by Minos deliberately to fill his stomach.

[As long as the Minotaur is full, he won't try to get out of the maze.]

[The heroes also have a reason to kill it, right? ]

[From the beginning to the end, the Minotaur passively accepted the arrangement of fate, from birth to death. ]

【It has no right to choose.】

[In the innocent values ​​of the Minotaur, if you help it and are willing to talk to it, then you are its friend.]

[The Minotaur thought it was a good ending to die at the hands of a friend.]

"Kill me."

[“By the way, before you kill me, can you tell me what your name is?”]

[Your hands trembled.]

[But she still suppressed some of the emotions in her heart and whispered, "My name is Zoe, what's your name, big guy?"]

[“Minotaur!”]

[It seemed that he didn't expect you to ask the name of a monster. The Minotaur was stunned for a moment before he reacted.]

[The voice was unconsciously a little louder: "My name is Minotaur, Zoe, I remember your name! Will you...will you remember me?"]

[“We are friends. Of course I will remember your name.”]

【"That's good."】

[On his ferocious face, there was a ferocious smile that made people terrified. The Minotaur closed his eyes contentedly, waiting for death to come.]

【However, it did not wait for its destined death. 】

[Only your gentle words slowly bloom in the air. ]

[“Want to go out and see this beautiful world, my friend?”]

[“It must be boring to stay here all the time, right?”]

[The Minotaur opened his eyes in astonishment, and the bull's face was full of disbelief and obvious surprise.]

[“Really? Zoe!”]

“I never lie.”

[You have never lied once in your life, and this time is no exception. ]

[You asked Togo to ask Ikaros for a steel rope, tied the rope around the Minotaur's waist, and led it out of the maze.]

[It was hard for Togo. In order to bring this rather large minotaur out, White Wolf put in a lot of effort and lay on the grass panting from exhaustion.]

[“Is this the world outside the maze?”]

[The Minotaur, who had been trapped in the maze since birth, breathed the air outside the prison for the first time.]

【That is the breath of freedom. 】

[The outside world is full of flowers, and not far away is the blue, endless sea. ]

[The sea breeze was mixed with a slight fishy smell, which was not very pleasant, but the Minotaur was intoxicated by it.]

[Anna hunted a wild boar. You take out the tools and prepare a sumptuous dinner for the Minotaur.]

[The pork is roasted under the charcoal, exuding a rich aroma. You sprinkle the seasoning on it, and the skill of the court chef is comparable to that of the Minotaur. ]

[The moon rises, Togo's nature erupts, and he howls at the moon. ]

[You and Anna laughed out loud, and in the cheerful atmosphere, the Minotaur's fear of death slowly dissipated.]

[It sat quietly beside the campfire, its scary features becoming kind at this moment.]

[Two big hands that can easily tear a human body apart clapped gently, cheering for Togo's performance. ]

【You sing and dance awkwardly. 】

【The final farewell.】

[Until the sun rises the next day. ]

.................................................. ................

The sunlight fell on the huge body of the Minotaur, and next to it was Lin Yi, who had not slept all night.
