"Because you are worried?" Morpheus asked.
Seeing Atalanta nod, Morpheus fell into deep thought. Finally, he could only spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I can't think of anything you can give me that I need."
This statement made Atalanta raise an eyebrow. Although this statement might be true, it was indeed a bit offensive to say it so directly.
This is like saying "You are too weak, I don't need your help", and it's not just saying you are too weak, but a rejection in all aspects.
Even their own bodies and their status as sexual objects were rejected.
"Ah, really?" Atalanta said, but her tone was a little stiff.
"Don't be angry. I just said this rationally, without any inappropriate thoughts. I admit that your charm as a woman is very great. You don't have to doubt yourself in this regard. I don't mean to deny it."
Atalanta looked at Morpheus, but saw that he was just smiling. That smile did not reveal any special meaning. His light blue eyes looked very charming, like a magic eye that could see through people's hearts.
"Just treat what I said just now as nonsense. We haven't discussed this before." Morpheus smiled and continued:
"Your expertise is different from my path, so I really don't need what you can get. It's not just you, there are very few people in this world who can help me. To put it in an extreme way, perhaps no one can help me where I need it.
"Well, don't take my words out of context. What I'm saying is that on my path of cultivation, no one can give me knowledge or anything like that. At most, they can only give me opinions based on their own experience, but such opinions may not be of any use at all, because my magic is so special."
These words sounded extremely arrogant to Atalanta, but the other party's attitude made her completely relaxed. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "You talk like even the gods can't help you."
As a result, she saw the other party smiling and said lightly: "Do you think that what I just said included the gods?"
Atalanta opened her mouth. She really wanted to say "no" directly, but since the other party asked it, there was only one answer.
Morpheus's words just now have already included all the gods!
However, how arrogant was this, actually saying that even the gods could not help him on his path of cultivation!
"There are two people in the world. One has reached the top level in farming skills, but the other is only at a decent level in hunting and is still working hard to learn.
“Although one is top-notch and the other is just okay in terms of skills, the top-notch farmer cannot teach the hunter hunting techniques because the farmer doesn’t know how to hunt at all.
"My relationship with the other people in this world can be compared to this. The gods are the most skilled farmers, and I am the less skilled hunter. If I want to improve my skills, I can only rely on myself to move forward."
Morpheus roughly compared to Atalanta the relationship between his current magic and the magic of the gods. Although it sounded a bit strange, Atalanta still understood what Morpheus wanted to express.
"So, what you're trying to say is that the path of magic you're on is a realm of magic that even the gods have never set foot on?!"
"Well, yes, that's what I mean." Morpheus nodded. "So I really don't know what reward I should ask for. If you really feel that a meal or something like that can't replace the value of the magic I want to teach you, then let's do this..."
Morpheus thought of a scene he had seen in a martial arts TV series before, so he said, "If I need your help in the future, please help me once, and I can guarantee that this matter will not go against your wishes."
"You won't go against my wishes?"
"It's something that won't make you feel particularly embarrassed. After all, if there are no restrictions, it will become coercion." Morpheus said, and even took the initiative to suggest: "We can let the gods serve as witnesses to ensure the validity of this agreement."
"I can accept such a proposal..." Atalanta said in a low voice. She felt that Morpheus was indeed very polite and courteous in some aspects, and he was also very considerate of others. He was much better than those guys whose minds were full of violence.
However, Atalanta still shook her head: "But I have to talk to Lady Artemis about this matter first. If Lady Artemis doesn't allow me to do this, I will not accept it."
Morpheus nodded. "Of course you can. I also said that this matter can be carried out under the witness of the gods. If you think Artemis is suitable, then you can let her witness it."
Then, the girl corrected Morpheus's "mistake" again: "It's the great Artemis!"
"Yes, yes, great Master Artemis," Morpheus said, but he still looked at her without any respect.
Seeing Morpheus's perfunctory attitude, Atalanta frowned and said, "How come you don't have any respect for the gods?"
"I still respect them very much, and I like Artemis very much!" Morpheus said immediately, and he looked so real that he didn't look like he was lying at all.
……
Jason found Castor with his sister.
Castor looked at Jason with some confusion and said, "Aren't you going to accompany your delicate lover?"
"Percy Beale is the queen here, and she also has to deal with some things during the day." Jason said, not knowing how to start asking the other party.
But the "kind-hearted" Castor asked first: "What do you want from me?"
"Yes, I want to ask, do you know the Guiding Light?"
"Guiding Light?" Castor repeated the name, then smiled. "It's been a while since I've heard that name."
"He really knows!" Jason was delighted and asked quickly, "Then who is the god of the Guiding Light?"
"That's an ancient god, representing the light that guides ships in the darkness, a twin god," Castor said, then asked, "Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? Where did you know this name?"
When Jason heard this, he became confused: "Don't you know?"
"I don't know. Although I know about this god, I don't know much about him. Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Looking at Castor's curious eyes and Pollux who was boredly eating fruit, Jason hesitated for a moment and did not say what he was thinking. He just said, "Nothing, thank you for telling me this."
At this time, Castor suddenly said, "By the way, I see everyone is very happy. How about we take a few days off?"
"That's right. It's good to have a good rest. Maybe we won't be able to find such a suitable place to rest in the future." Jason nodded and left.
Watching Jason leave, Castor breathed a sigh of relief, took out the hidden stone slab, and continued carving on it.
"Brother, you made this suggestion at the end because you were afraid Jason would take everyone away?"
"Although he probably won't leave, we have to be prepared. I can see that he loves Percy Belle very much and doesn't want to leave like this, but there must be a reason. Now that we have given him a reason for everyone to rest, Jason will definitely stay here for a while." Castor said, pausing what he was doing. "Done!"
He happily handed the slate to his sister and said, "Take a look. There's nothing wrong with the content, right?"
The brother and sister then carefully read the story engraved on the stone slab over and over again, and only after confirming that there were no problems did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"Let me see. It's well written. If this story gets out, you two will be truly inseparable. The twin gods, born together, descended to become human brothers because of people's prayers. But in fact, he has always been a god, not a human."
The sudden voice made them both look towards Morpheus.
"What a strong strength!"
"As expected of the guy who went and killed Typhon!"
The brother and sister couldn't help but be shocked by Morpheus's sudden appearance, while Morpheus continued to read the story on the slate and even made a comment or two.
Then, Morpheus pointed to one of the places and said, "This place can be changed. You have become a human now, and this cannot be changed. We can start from this point in the index."
Castor quickly asked, "Excuse me, how do we change it, Mr. Morpheus?"
He was completely full of respect for Morpheus.
"Castor is human, and that's because of the prayers of humans, but he is ultimately a god. A god's divinity exists forever and will never perish. As long as he wishes, he can restore his divinity. No one can deprive him of it.
"It's just that, because he likes to travel in the human world, he usually walks around in the human world as a human."
Morpheus finished speaking and glanced at Castor: "How do you feel about this change?"
This change is indeed better than the original one. It greatly reduces the conflict with the human identity and is even very likely to give me the ability to freely switch between human and god. The success rate is much higher than what I wrote at the beginning.
Castor suddenly became curious. What on earth was Morpheus doing here, able to grasp this gap so accurately and write such content? Did magicians even need to study this kind of thing?
Chapter 48 Someone paid you
Morpheus did not want to get too involved in the matter concerning the photon pair of Dioscuri. He just wanted to give the other party some advice. It was simply a small suggestion given by someone who had some research on mythology and magic.
After all, Morpheus couldn't bear to read the somewhat immature story.
It is better to impose some restrictions on yourself in advance to avoid being imposed inexplicable restrictions by creative humans in the future. After all, no one can guarantee that after this new story comes out, some crazy people will not come up with some messy secondary creations.
For example, they had to write that Castor fell in love with another woman, which made his sister Pollux extremely jealous. In the end, Castor decided to kill his sister with his own hands, but was beaten to death by the other party. He was then carried into the sky by his yandere sister and became Gemini or something like that.
Touching his chin, Morpheus looked at the brother and sister who were happily spreading their story in the distance, and muttered, "I feel like this story can be written."
Then he shook his head: "What a pity, this will affect Castor and Pollux's bodies, so forget it."
I have to congratulate the already pitiful Gemini for avoiding an unexpected disaster.
Night fell quietly again, and the island of Lemnos began to sing and dance again.
I must reiterate that the women here are very hospitable, so hospitable that if Morpheus stayed a little longer, he might be grabbed by the ears and taken back by the two people on the boat.
At this time, as a devout believer in the moon god, Atalanta was kneeling on the deck, praying to the bright moon in the sky.
She told her god Artemis what Morpheus had said to her, and what Diana had said to her, and then asked in a low voice:
"Great Lady Artemis, how should I choose?"
Then she saw the shadow again. She couldn't see its face clearly, but she could feel the familiar power of the moon goddess. Artemis' voice rang in her ears again.
"Atalanta, it's not a bad thing to learn more. You just need to be careful not to be deceived. I can see that your future is full of dangers, but I can't explain it clearly.
"You can study with this man named Morpheus. He is trustworthy. Even the gods cannot directly understand his power. If you want to understand his power, even the gods have to start from scratch.
"If you can learn his magic, you will have more ways to deal with crises in the future. Even if a very terrifying danger comes, you should be able to survive it."
"Will I face a terrible crisis in the future? It seems that Lady Artemis couldn't tell me about this crisis for some reason, but she also said that Morpheus's magic could help me, and that Morpheus is a trustworthy person..."
"No, what I'm most surprised about right now is that none of the gods of Morpheus' magic knew about it. But... after hearing his explanation during the day, I'm just thinking, 'As expected...'
"So, I actually believed everything he said during the day? When did I ever trust someone so easily? And this was a man!"
Atalanta couldn't help but think frantically in her heart, but at this time, Artemis continued: "However, although he will teach you magic, you must also be careful not to use it casually. These spells are too special and may attract some unnecessary attention."
"I understand, great Lady Artemis. I will always keep your words in my heart!"
"Very good, then start learning magic from him from tomorrow. You may not learn much, but I am sure that he will teach you what you lack.
"He has the ability to see into the future, so you can trust his choices on this point."
"Yes, Lady Artemis!" Atalanta said again, shocked again.
The ability to foresee the future sounds like the ability of Apollo's priests, but Apollo's priests are blind, while this person has good eyesight!
Moreover, casually revealing the future will result in severe punishment, but does this person seem to have been punished?
No, not at all, on the contrary, I live a very free and easy life!
As Artemis' figure disappeared, Atalanta took a breath, then relaxed her whole body, lying on the deck and quietly looking at the stars and the moon in the sky. Under the moonlight, she felt her brain, which had been relatively clear, begin to feel sleepy, and then she fell into a deep sleep.
……
"What do you think? I said, she will come to you to learn tomorrow, so remember to teach her well!" Artemis said to Morpheus.
Morpheus thought for a moment and said, "You don't allow her to use magic normally?"
"Your magic is too special. I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives will target her. Her strength is not as strong as yours, so it will be difficult to deal with her if she encounters a crisis."
Artemis sighed as she spoke, "Although this child is very powerful and has the blood of Clymene, he is still just a mortal after all..."
Clymene, the goddess of fame, is of the same generation as Zeus, but her father is Oceanus. As Oceanus' granddaughter, Atalanta does possess the blood of God.
It’s a pity that this specialness has not been revealed, as if she has never possessed the blood of God.
But now, after hearing what Artemis said, Morpheus had some new ideas in his mind.
"Perhaps, I can make her stronger..."
"Isn't it simply about dealing with future crises?"
"After resolving that crisis, we might encounter other crises, so it's good to improve our strength a little." Morpheus said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are just relying on her bloodline to make a small thing. It's a simple and easy thing. She will definitely learn it quickly."
Artemis blinked, having trouble understanding what Morpheus was trying to do.
At this time, Morpheus grinned: "Hehe, this is extra work, you have to pay for it!"
Then, accompanied by a cry of "Ah", the scene became a little inappropriate for children.
……
The next day, Atalanta found Morpheus, and Morpheus, as if he had expected her to come, pointed to the opposite side of him and said, "Sit down."
As he spoke, green branches emerged directly from the ground. These branches continued to grow and entangle on the shore, and eventually turned into a chair with a backrest.
Sitting down carefully, Atalanta felt that the chair was very soft and comfortable.
"Is this also your magic?" Atalanta asked curiously.
"Of course, the world is made up of five elements, and I can create what I want by combining them. Well, just ordinary things. I can't create souls yet."
Atalanta asked with some confusion: "Creating souls?" It was the first time she heard that souls could be created.
"That's the realm of God. I can't reach that level yet. Perhaps in the future I can study alchemy, which includes the study of soul creation."
"alchemy?"
"There are a lot of potions and other miscellaneous items, but we haven't developed to that point yet."
Morpheus said this and sighed. If the Hermes of this world was the Triple Great Hermes he knew, then he could pursue the mysteries of alchemy. Unfortunately, the Hermes here was obviously not that.
It’s as if the Zeus here is not the original Zeus. The difference makes it difficult for Morpheus to directly rely on the gods that originally existed in this world to obtain the knowledge he wants.
