He was now absolutely convinced that this selfless hero must have seen something that they could not, and now, everything he did seemed to be to prevent that future.
A cold sweat formed on his forehead. It was hard to imagine, hard to understand. Why would the gods watch the world being destroyed? What about Gaia, the mother of the earth? Why would she abandon their children?
"Snap!" A bandaged hand was placed on his shoulder, bringing Hector back to his senses from his desperate imagination.
"I'm just assuming, don't take it seriously." Xue Lufen smiled and retracted his bandaged arm.
Hector felt puzzled, because he only then discovered that the parts of Xue Falun's white robe that were vaguely exposed were all wrapped in bandages.
He suddenly thought of something. Miracles and miracles come at a price, and the selfless hero in front of him used a miracle that could heal all pain and injuries.
So, what's the cost?
He was about to speak when Xue Falun interrupted him: "Hero Hector, let's get back to business. What do you want from me? Are the soldiers guarding Troy in need of medical treatment?"
"No, it's just that the King of Troy invites the kind hero to this dinner." Hector stated his purpose.
He even felt ashamed, because he not only invited but also tested whether the hero in front of him was worthy of the title. However, after the test, he only felt that he had insulted this selfless hero.
He even felt regret for his temptation. It was no longer a question of whether such a hero was worthy of being won over by the Trojan royal family. Instead, he wondered whether his group of silly sisters were worthy of this hero.
"Hector, I will heal you as well."
As the voice rang out, Hector felt relaxed all over, all the fatigue of the day disappeared, and even some minor injuries left on the battlefield disappeared.
Hector performed a heroic gesture and said, "Thank you for your selflessness, hero Xediles."
"Let's go."
The two began to move towards the palace.
And just where they didn't notice, on the treetop, there was a white owl perched, observing everything here.
In ancient Greece, owls were associated with "wisdom," and thus, people believed that owls were the embodiment of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
In particular, the soldiers and heroes of Athens painted their shields with the symbol of a white owl, and the feathers on their helmets were also shaped like owls, because they believed that this would ensure that the goddess Athena would be with them.
The owl had actually found the trace of "Blaster Xediles" a few days ago. She would have immediately given inspiration to the heroes around her, or attracted golden lions and multi-headed sea monsters to cut into pieces the guy who blasphemed the entire Olympus gods.
But for some reason, she hesitated. The incarnation of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, looked at the hero who saved the world and began to hesitate.
The Greek gods are petty, they hold grudges very well, and never wait until the next day to take revenge. Even Athena, who has the best reputation, is like this. She is also a petty goddess.
But at the same time, all the gods are fanatical fans of heroes, and they can't wait to personally come out and cheer for the heroes they support. Even when they hear a new heroic adventure story, the gods can't help but excitedly pull up the flag and poke their temples with their index fingers, and they are so happy.
So, at this moment, Athena, who seemed to have witnessed the birth of a new hero, fell into an extremely dilemma.
On the one hand, her mind urged her to quickly drive the monsters to attack Troy and kill the blasphemer, but on the other hand, she really wanted to see the hero's end! To see a brand new heroic story!
Will they burn themselves out like a raging fire, or will they eventually fall into depravity, or even become complete losers? No matter which outcome, it is like poison for the gods and they cannot get rid of it.
No matter how rational and wise a god is, it is impossible for him to remain sane forever regarding the hero's story, especially the ending of this story.
So she concealed what had happened here, while Olympus was still in chaos due to the plague, and while Zeus, that old man, was probably in the bed of some human queen again.
She is willing to give such a hero a trial from her goddess of wisdom, Athena!
A white owl followed in the footsteps of Hector and Xue Falun, moving nimbly among the treetops.
At the same time, another hooting owl flew away from Troy and came to the position of the three goddesses of fate.
Cuckoo Chicken hid in the tree because she found Zeus Laoden leaving the residence of the three goddesses of fate with a sour face.
Recently, Zeus has come to the three goddesses of fate to ask about his fate more and more often, but each time he has not gained much.
The status of the three goddesses of fate is not weaker than Zeus. They represent absolute authority, so even when facing Zeus's questions, they can refuse to give the king of gods any face.
After Zeus left completely, the tiny cuckoo chicken sneaked into the palace of the three goddesses of fate and saluted the three goddesses.
"It's Athena. What troubles do you have that you want to ask about fate?" The eldest of the three goddesses said to the tiny cuckoo chicken.
Compared with their indifference towards Zeus, the three goddesses of fate were much kinder towards Athena, even showing a sense of pampering.
"I'm here to ask for a thread of fate. I want to see the fate of a hero." Athena also directly stated her purpose without any reservation.
She really wanted to see the fate of Xue Lufen, because she felt that it would be a heroic epic that would excite her.
Chapter 42 The King of Troy invites you to a party
The owl held a thin silk thread in its mouth and flapped its wings vigorously before flying away.
At this time, Xue Lufen didn't know that he had been targeted by a main god, but it didn't matter even if he knew.
His only enemy was originally Zeus, and perhaps there were a few Olympian gods who could become his companions in killing Zeus.
But, it's too slow!
The arrogance of the gods is engraved in their bones. He is not willing to increase the favorability of a few of the gods bit by bit. They will be tolerant of mortal heroes, but will always be high and mighty. It is estimated that it will take several years or even decades to increase the favorability of a god to the point that he is willing to help him win over Zeus.
And he might even be forced to sell hooks, after all, this is open ancient Greece, where almost everyone (god) is bisexual.
Although the Great Sage is much stronger than the old undead in terms of knowledge and ability, the Great Sage's biggest problem is that he cannot directly provide Xue Fa Lun with powerful combat power.
Xue Falun can only rely on the knowledge and intelligence provided by the great sage.
In comparison, the old undead is like a thug who can provide him with a safety net, while the great sage is more like a logistical assistant who is in charge of the overall situation.
So, without a trump card, he could only move cautiously. He didn't want to be beaten to his knees by a Greek god and dragged back to the temple...
While Xue Falun was thinking along the way, Hector had already brought him to the palace.
The palace was extremely lively at this moment, with wine and delicious food everywhere. Hector had dozens of brothers and sisters, some of whom became famous in later generations. Of course, in this era, they did not have their own stories and achievements, so they were not even considered heroes.
Because it was a family gathering, the princesses of Troy also came to the banquet.
The king on the throne gestured to Hector, but Hector shook his head. He felt that all temptations and suspicions were insults to the selfless hero.
When the king saw Hector's attitude, he instantly became enthusiastic. He had great faith in his eldest son. He believed that this was the greatest treasure Troy had obtained, and he would even become the most powerful hero in all of Greece.
As for the hero recognized by his eldest son, he immediately asked his daughters to bring wine and delicious food to serve the so-called "loving hero."
This kind of thing would be outrageous in the history of other countries, but it is very common in Greece.
Yes, although it seems explosive from a modern perspective, it makes sense in ancient Greece where the small head controls the big head.
So at this time, Xue Falun also noticed that something was wrong.
The King of Troy invited you to an eagle party, and among them were even the sisters Chryseis and Briseis, who were later said to be as beautiful as Helen?
yes or no?
Xue Fa Lun immediately nodded no and retreated behind Hector.
He didn't want to end up with a head full of green hats. This is ancient Greece, and those who understand will understand...
Besides, his purpose of coming here was indeed for a Trojan princess, but not for the eagle.
Seeing Xue Lufen taking half a step back, the princesses who were originally excited suddenly felt dimmed, because this was a sign that the hero rejected them.
However, Xue Lufen did not pay attention to these princesses who seemed to be about to cry. He looked at the girl who did not come towards him before, but was silently shrinking in the corner.
She was also a princess of Troy, but unlike her sisters, she lived in the tragedy of suspicion all her life.
That was Cassandra, the Trojan princess known as the "Witch of Prophecy," who was on par with Medea, the "Witch of Betrayal," in Greek mythology.
She was cursed by the serpent god and possessed the ability to see the future and destiny, but at the cost of not being trusted by any Greek.
Therefore, in the original history, even though she saw the future of the Trojan War, no one believed anything she said. Instead, they thought she was a jinx and imprisoned her.
Even her brothers and sisters, and even her parents, no one believed her. They all thought she was a vicious woman who was full of lies. This was the price of gaining the ability to predict the future.
But at this moment, Xue Lufen left behind those gorgeous princesses and walked over to the unassuming witch. He softly asked the 13-year-old girl, "Did you see my ending?"
Cassandra, who was like Cinderella at the banquet, raised her head and looked at the "loving hero" in front of her with her originally lovely face.
"You...will you believe me?" She said this almost excitedly. After all, since she was a child, she has been accustomed to the fact that no one would believe what she said.
Compared with the other princesses with curvy figures, she was as thin as a farmer's child, with a skinny body. Even her biological parents hated her because she was "full of lies".
But at this moment, she felt for the first time the joy of being believed in her heart. Cassandra was ready to use her prophecy. She would not let this hero down and would definitely give the most perfect prophecy.
"My dear hero, my daughter is really unruly and a liar. The ones who are really suitable for you are Chryseis and Briseis, who are as beautiful as elves in both face and heart." The king began to feel that things were a little beyond his expectations.
Although he did have the idea of using his daughters as commodities to win over heroes, this "lying" daughter was definitely not one of them.
"Shh!" Xue Falu signaled the king to be quiet.
The king could only turn his head to look at Hector, and a group of princes also turned their heads to look at their eldest brother.
Seeing that Hector didn't say anything, the atmosphere became extremely weird, and everyone looked at Xue Lufen who was squatting in front of the little girl.
Xue Falun ignored those malicious or dissatisfied glances and said to Cassandra, "I will believe it. So, did you see it?"
"I... can definitely see it." Cassandra launched her prophecy to Xue Falun, but the next moment, she was completely stunned.
She stood there like a statue, tears welling up in her eyes under the gaze of countless people. She seemed to be trying hard to cover her mouth, but she couldn't control the tears that dripped down her cheeks like surging waves and onto the ground.
"We succeeded, didn't we?" Xue Lufeng said with a smile as gentle as the breeze. "In that future..."
But in Cassandra's eyes, why could this hero still laugh? Why, even though he knew he would face such a future, he could still laugh...
She covered her mouth, she couldn't say anything, because as soon as she said it, the gods would know, and everything the hero in front of them had done would be in vain. This was something she absolutely, absolutely could not forgive!
She covered her mouth tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and just nodded slightly.
……
[So that's how it is. Is this how her prophetic ability is realized?] The Great Sage sent a message through the panel.
[Possessing the ability to observe "history," yet not being trusted by anyone or even God, is this how the power of this world works?]
[Son, I have completed the analysis here.]
【I will try to add a prediction module for you.】
Chapter 43 I have a plan to restore order
"Thank you. I will repay you by driving away your illness and pain. May you have a happy life in the future." Xue Lufen stretched out his bandaged hand, ready to touch the little girl's head.
Xue Lufen expressed his gratitude sincerely, not only because he knew that their plan would definitely succeed.
Moreover, it allowed the great sage to analyze this strange ability from the Age of Gods.
Although both are predictions, the principles are completely different. The great sage's prediction technique is closer to mathematically calculating the most likely result based on known information. In any case, it is a "calculation."
The principle of the prophecy of the witch in front of him is that he can observe the "history" of the future and thus know the future.
The great sage's prophecy cannot be made into a module for the time being because the computing power required is beyond what Xue Falun can currently afford, but the witch's prophecy can be made into a module.
Pointing his finger at her forehead, Xue Lufen activated the power of Cursed Blood.
"No..." The little girl was about to stop Xue Lufen from committing self-harm, but before she reached out her hand, she felt warmth all over her body, and her long-term malnourished body completely recovered.
Xue Lufeng released his lightly tapping fingers and left the palace, leaving the princes and princesses looking at each other in bewilderment.
Now that you have the answer you want, go for it.
"Old man, I suddenly understand you a little bit." Xue Lufen looked at the sunset in ancient Greece. Perhaps he understood the significance of coming here.
After Xue Falun left, everyone looked at their former least popular sister, Cassandra.
What did she see?
Even though Xue Lufen had left at this moment, she still covered her mouth tightly and cried inconsolably. She truly saw a brand new future, an extremely beautiful future.
but……
but……
Hero, is all this too cruel for you?
"Cassandra, what did you see?" the king asked first.
He also began to wonder. For a Greek who loved heroes, the most vicious thing was that someone knew more about his heroic deeds but deliberately concealed them. That feeling was as uncomfortable as if ants were crawling on his body.
But Cassandra still covered her mouth tightly. If she was unwilling to speak originally because of her curse, no one would believe her. But now, she would keep this secret tightly for the hero's plan.
Even if it means death.
"What did you see? Don't cover your mouth." The prince also felt a tingling in his heart, as if the epic was happening right in front of him, but he knew nothing about it. This feeling was no less than torture for the Greeks.
"No, I can't tell you. Don't force me..." Cassandra backed away. She would never tell you.
"Okay, Cassandra, listen to me." Hector interrupted his brothers and sisters. Here, his prestige was even more effective than that of the king.
