The Warrior of Love

When building the city before, Jiang Liu had thoroughly cleared out the surrounding monsters. Within his perception range, no matter how the monsters hid, it was useless. He kept clearing until there was no trace of the enemy in the entire Black Shirt Forest.

But magical beasts are long-legged, and after a period of time, the magical beasts from other places gradually flowed into the Black Shirt Forest. Their numbers were not large, but they would occasionally appear outside the city.

Jiang Liu is out now, but Athena is looking after the house.

Generally, Athena would kill large monsters, but ordinary monsters could be dealt with by forming small teams of soldiers.

It should be noted that the soldiers in the city of Lagash now are different from the ordinary human soldiers before the Warcraft tide.

Among Jiang Liu's many small skills, there is "forging". Although it cannot produce a treasure, its hardness is far beyond that of ordinary iron, and it can be mass-produced.

Athena is the "Mother of Heroes" and the "Goddess of War". In mythology, she is the guide of warriors. Even when she appears as the "Priestess Pallas", she still has the ability to grant blessings to others.

It's similar to Merlin's "Hero Creation". The single effect is not as good, but it can enhance the abilities of a large number of targets.

Basically all the soldiers have received her spell "blessing" in the temple, and their abilities are far beyond those of ordinary people. Combined with the weapons provided by Jiang Liu, they have reached the minimum standard of a "Servant".

With their fighting power, it is not a big problem to team up and fight against the monsters.

"Not a monster, but... maybe a human?"

"What's wrong? You sound uncertain."

Athena frowned and glanced over the contents on the clay tablet.

We cannot expect the patrol soldiers to have any literary talent. They just briefly report any unusual movements they have discovered, but they also describe the general image of the other party at the end of the report.

"Purple hair...supernatural strength that can defeat monsters with one blow...and looks like a little girl?"

Looking at these descriptions, Athena pondered for a moment, and then quickly recalled some of the special existences in this world that Jiang Liu had introduced to her during their previous conversation.

"Oh I got it!"

Athena laughed: "Interesting, is this the ancient hero of this world that Jiang Liu mentioned - the so-called "Heroic Spirit"? Well, it is a lone servant. Good! Let me go and see it for myself!"

Chapter 593: Athena and Little Medusa

"Roar!"

In the light and shadow cast by the trees, a three-meter-tall four-legged monster rushed out. Although it had a strong body and lush mane, its forelimbs were much stronger than its hind limbs. It looked like a hunchback, a combination of a lion and a jackal.

Although its appearance is not impressive, its strength should not be underestimated. Its strong body gives it great explosive power, while the magic power flowing in its blood means that its upper limit is far greater than that of ordinary beasts.

It is only three meters tall, but even large animals like rhinos and dinosaurs cannot withstand its attacks, and their thick skin will be easily torn by its sharp claws!

The target of its attack at this moment was neither a huge penis nor a thick-skinned rhinoceros, but a very petite girl, about 1.3 meters tall. Her slender body did not seem to have any deterrent effect at all.

Compared to the bloody and violent monster, this little girl is as fragile as a flower in a storm——

However, at the moment when the monster pounced on her, the girl showed her impressive strength.

There was no blood splatter as imagined, and the girl's body was not torn into pieces. She just glanced coldly at the monster and dodged the ferocious attack with a light jump.

The petite body was covered with a black cloak with an eye-like pattern on the hood. When it jumped, a corner of it was blown up by the wind, revealing beautiful purple hair and metal armor worn on its wrists.

"Oh!"

A cold light shot out from the gauntlet, and the long chain, guided by the pistol-like cone, flexibly wrapped around the neck of the monster, and then tightened like a snake.

It seemed difficult to strangle it. The little girl fell to the ground, and her thin body burst out with amazing strength. With one hand, she pulled the chain and the monster into the air.

"Roar!"

The lion monster roared in struggle, but was unable to resist. With its neck tied, it flew uncontrollably towards the girl.

Zheng!

A cold light came on, and an exaggerated sickle appeared in the girl's hand, like the god of death.

The moment the lion monster flew over, the sickle fell without hesitation, and the ferocious monster was instantly beheaded!

Bang!

The monster's body slumped to the ground. The girl wiped the blood from her cheek expressionlessly, squatted down and reached out her hand to the corpse.

A hazy substance like a distorted shadow was sucked out. The girl held it in her hand, and then her expression seemed to relax a little.

"I see. Is this how you maintain your existence?"

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice was heard, startling the girl.

She subconsciously took the sickle and protected it in front of her, turned around and looked around, and only saw the other person's figure when she looked up again.

“I didn’t even notice it.”

The girl tightly gripped the sickle and looked at the silver-haired woman standing on the branch with hostility and cold eyes.

The other person was wearing clothes that were in line with the style of the era, but the girl was certain that he was a "foreigner" like herself. This was an intuition that needed no further explanation.

And... this person is probably quite strong!

"Interesting child." Athena looked down at the girl, several thoughts flashing through her mind.

She had only heard Jiang Liu's introduction before and had a general impression of the existence of "Servants". Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she finally understood its essence.

I have to admit that it is indeed a very special existence, summoning heroes from history and mythology in the form of spirits, allowing the ancient mysteries to revive in the world...

But there is nothing to be surprised about. After all, Athena herself is the "God of Disobedience" and her uniqueness is no less than that of a Heroic Spirit.

However, Athena was indeed quite interested in the little girl in front of her.

"Someone told me that Servants are spirits. They must have a 'vessel' and cursed power to function in the real world. This is why Servants must have a Master.

You don't seem to have a Master. Are you a lone Servant summoned spontaneously?

You were "eating" just now... well, you were restoring the soul of the monster into magic power, and you were relying on this method to prolong your life. Well, this is not elegant at all, and it doesn't match your cute little face at all. "

"have a finger in the pie!"

Although she was praised for being cute, the little girl did not look happy at all. Instead, she became even more alert.

"Who are you? Even though you're wearing the clothes of a resident, you don't look human at all!"

She knew that there was a human city in the black forest, but she didn't want to get close to humans or communicate with others, so she had never been there.

For her, the only mission is to drive out all the monsters scattered in Mesopotamia!

Kill, kill... keep killing until there is nothing left.

This is the duty she has understood since she was summoned, and it is deeply rooted in her soul!

"Don't be so alert, and don't look at me with that kind of eyes. Even if it's a little girl...it will make me want to fight."

Athena looked at the girl, and her cold eyes softened a little, and she seemed to have a good impression of her.

"But if it's you, I can forgive your recklessness."

"Uh..." The little girl frowned slightly, looking a little confused.

She did not sense any murderous intent or hostility from Athena. Instead, she seemed to have an inexplicable liking for her...but she was sure she did not know her.

How could she know that the mythological heritage of the "God Slayer" world where Athena came from was very different from other worldviews.

In "God Killer", the Gorgon is the fallen godhead separated from Athena, but in other worlds there is actually no accurate record about this, only some speculation and reasoning.

——Yes, the little girl is the Gorgon.

To be precise, it is the "ideal" state of the Gorgon Medusa, a little goddess who has not fallen into the state of a monster.

There are several different versions of the Gorgon in mythology. The mainstream version is that she is the child of Phorcys (the original sea god) and the Siren, that is, a natural monster. All three sisters are monsters, but only the two elder sisters are immortal.

There is also a unconventional saying that Medusa was originally a priestess of Athena. She was insulted by Poseidon, the god of the sea, in the temple, which angered Athena, who cursed her to degenerate into a monster.

The connection between Athena and Medusa in "God Slayer" probably comes from this version.

But in fact, according to cultural relics research, Medusa originated from the belief in the "death mask", and Athena was a primitive goddess from Crete and other places.

However, some of the images were later integrated into Greek mythology (there was a Gorgon's head on Athena's shield), and after the poets' secondary creation, the version of the Medusa priest was formed.

In other words, the relationship between the two is actually "mutually independent and integrated", rather than "Athena separated Medusa."

Of course, it is normal for the versions of mythology adopted in different worlds to be inconsistent.

For example, in the Type-Moon world, Greek mythology is completely different from "God Slayer" and the ordinary world!

I won’t talk about the alien mechas and the like, let’s just talk about the three Medusa sisters. They are all native Greek gods. They fled to the Invisible Island because of the persecution of humans and gods. Medusa fell into a monster in order to protect her sisters.

And in this process, Poseidon is not a villain at all!

Poseidon even gave the three sisters a Pegasus as a gift... He may be a little bit of a lolita complex, but he is not a bad person.

At least in Type-Moon, Medusa and Athena have no inheritance relationship.

With Athena's keen eyesight, she could naturally see the relationship between the girl in front of her, the sickle, and the Gorgon Medusa.

Plus, the little girl was very cute (this was very important), so the goddess of wisdom did not feel hostile towards her.

Even though they have different worldviews, Athena still has a liking for her.

Of course, if the appearance was not a cute girl, but an ugly monster... maybe Athena would take the initiative to clean up the mess.

"I am a priestess of Athena, the goddess of wisdom... My name is Pallas. I am the archon of Lagash, the city in the Black Forest."

Athena introduced herself and spoke to the little girl.

"Lost son, I have no ill will towards you. I believe you can sense that. Moreover, even if you fight with me, what are your chances of winning in your current state?

No Servant descends without a reason——that man once said so, so you also have a mission, right?"

The little girl couldn't help but fall silent, as Athena had hit the nail on the head.

The goddess of wisdom noticed this and smiled with a sense of control.

"But to be honest, your situation is not very good. Even if you clear the monsters here, it won't change anything. You can only survive. I don't know why you came here, but I can help you."

"Well!"

Little Medusa frowned: "Why are you helping me? We just met for the first time."

"There are many reasons. For example, eliminating the monsters is our common goal. From this point of view, you and I are natural allies.

For example, my city of Lagash is short of talents now, and you would be a good assistant.

For example, you look so adorable, and I am also a woman, so it is my nature to like cute things. But in the final analysis - it was just my whim!"

Athena chuckled, "That's all."

"baffling."

Little Medusa took a deep breath and instinctively didn't want to get close to this guy who seemed to have ulterior motives.

But what Athena said was true. She now lived by sucking the souls of monsters. Although she could maintain her own existence, she was still a long way from completing her mission. She had to admit that she could never succeed by herself.

So she was also hesitant, her instinct of not wanting to contact others and her will to do everything for the mission were constantly conflicting.

Athena seemed to notice her hesitation. The goddess of wisdom thought about it and stretched out a finger.

"Well, maybe it's because I've been with that man for too long. I've unknowingly started to like talking nonsense and forgotten my original approach. How about this, let's negotiate in the most primitive and direct way: Let's fight! Victory is justice!"

Chapter 594: Then call her Anna!

After spending two days helping Gilgamesh strengthen the city's defenses and clearing out the roaming monsters in the territory, Jiang Liu made an agreement with him to help each other, and then left Uruk with his three servants.

Just as he had imagined, the consumption of three servants was not too much of a burden for him. He did not need any other means. His own magic recovery speed was enough to supply these three people.

Of course, this refers to the time when he is not fighting. Once he enters a combat state, or even releases a treasure, he will inevitably consume a lot of extra magic power.

From now on, he would study how to accumulate more magic power.

Even though the current threat is just the monster tide, Jiang Liu knows what will happen in the future.

In the process of fighting against the "Three Goddesses Alliance", there will inevitably be many tough battles to fight, and after defeating the Warcraft Goddess, they will have to face an unprecedented catastrophe...

The magic power of his spiritual base is definitely not enough. The consumption rate will definitely be much faster than the recovery rate. If he does not prepare in advance, he will suffer a lot.

The three servants that Jiang Liu contracted are Avisbronn, Achilles and Kato Danzo. The first two are his acquaintances in Romania. Although they seem to have forgotten him, Jiang Liu is very clear about their abilities.

Only Kato Danzo is a complete newcomer. Jiang Liu has never met her and has no information about this ninja girl in his memory.

Although Jiang Liu downloaded a lot of data from the "Heroes' Throne", he did not record all of it.

Compared to the huge database of the entire human history, what Jiang Liu copied through the back door was only a part of it. There must be many omissions, and perhaps she was among them.

However, although there is no data on the puppet girl, Jiang Liu has some impression of the name "Kato Danzo".
