The portable grandfathers that appear are all problematic.

However, when the time came for them to set off, these heroes began to get nervous, and even had other inexplicable thoughts in their hearts...

Will it win?

Even the bravest hero would feel inexplicably frightened when he learned that his opponent was Zeus.

This is not fear, but an instinctive reaction, which is why there is this final banquet, which is also a farewell banquet.

Faced with Odysseus's question, Hector, who was now quietly becoming the leading Greek hero, remained silent.

He couldn't utter the three words "will win".

After all, their enemy is the God King!

However, at this moment, all the heroes turned their gaze toward the palace gate.

Xue Dinglu's figure, completely hidden under a white robe, appeared.

If these heroes from all over Greece were convinced of Hector, then for Xue Falun, it was pure admiration and respect.

What hero would not be impressed by the nobility of taking all suffering upon himself?

Even though they are heroes sung by the Greeks, they think they cannot achieve that level, so they respect and admire such people, are impressed by such figures, and voluntarily join the Thunder and become part of the group rushing towards Olympus.

And on Xue Lufen's shoulder, a pure white owl landed, and the next moment, the entire palace was wrapped and bound by divine power.

This is the divine power from the main goddess Athena, and it is also a means of isolating oneself from all fate and prying eyes.

All the heroes sat up straight, and the real arrangement came.

"Everyone, I am the incarnation of Athena." The pure white owl spoke in human language, and all the heroes present saluted the owl.

"I know many of you are wondering why we have to take such a 'farcical' way to go to Olympus." The owl looked at all the heroes here. They were either enthusiastic, thoughtful, or confused.

"Because as long as he's 'under the sky,' Zeus is the absolutely immortal God King. His immortality transcends the Greek concept. No matter what attack, curse, or pain, it is impossible to kill Zeus. This is the power of the God King."

When Athena revealed this information, all the heroes felt powerless.

Is their enemy such a terrifying God-King?

Yes, even Typhon, who was once called "Diablo", was controlled and sealed by Zeus. Can this group of Greek heroes really fight against Zeus?

"But, we have a chance to truly kill Zeus. We only need to lure Zeus to the underworld through trickery. Once we lure him to the gate of the abyss, we'll have the chance to kill him with a curse. And now, we've completed all the cursing procedures."

Athena's words gave them confidence, but one hero immediately asked, "Goddess of wisdom, how can we lure Zeus to the abyss?"

This is the most critical issue. They have no idea when Zeus will go to the underworld, and they don’t know whether it is his real body or just an incarnation that arrives in the underworld.

Therefore, what method can be used to ensure that Zeus himself will go to the abyss?

The situation had reached a dead end, and at this moment, Xue Lufeng, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "I have a plan."

All the heroes looked at Xue Lufeng. He raised his glass and said, "I will go to Mount Olympus to apologize for my sins, carrying a thorn on my back. At the same time, there will be a dagger coated with the poison of the Hydra hidden in the thorn."

"When I pretend to be loyal to Zeus and kiss the back of his hand, I will immediately pull out the dagger from the thorns and stab my father in the groin, destroying his authority on 'reproduction'!"

"The Heavenly Father cannot give up the power of reproduction. Therefore, he needs my head, my death. Only when I am in the underworld will he be forced to go to the underworld in order to reclaim that power."

"So, everyone, your task is to kill me once I make my move, cut off my head and offer it to Zeus, then pledge your loyalty to Zeus and take him to the underworld."

"In the underworld, is our final battle."

Even though Xue Lufen was very weak and his hand holding the wine glass was shaking, his gaze at this moment moved all the heroes present.

"This plan has only two outcomes: victory or death." He gulped down the wine in his hand, threw the glass to the ground, and turned away. "If I unfortunately fail, throw my head into the Aegean Sea."

The owl flew to Xue Lufa's shoulder, and he raised his right fist and shouted, "Victory!"

"Victory!" All the heroes drank the liquor together and smashed the glasses to the ground.

Chapter 51 The New Twelve Trials

The reception at the palace ended with countless passionate cheers of "Vive la Vie". In the dead of night, an unexpected guest arrived in Greece.

She was a beautiful woman like a nymph. She had pink-blue feathers on her head and pointed ears like an elf. She was wearing an ancient Greek wrap that only covered one shoulder, making her look like an elf from a fairy tale.

Whenever such a beauty appeared in Greece, she would attract the attention of local kings and princes and drive heroes crazy.

"Troy? The place where that kind hero appeared?" The girl looked down at Troy, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a charming smile, as if she had found her own value.

Her name is Circe, a famous "transfiguring witch" in ancient Greece, and she is also the aunt of the treacherous witch Medea.

Her father is the sun god, and her mother is one of the sea goddesses. This witch herself is the most beloved and has lived from the early ancient Greece to the present day.

She had witnessed the legend of Perseus killing Medusa, seen the heroic deeds on the Argo, and also seen the miserable old age of her little niece Medea.

As a result, she fell into "fear of marriage" and has been wandering in Greece.

This time, she received oracles from three gods at the same time.

The first is Hermes, the messenger of Zeus, who tells Circe to lead the Greek heroes of the Thunderbolt to Olympus and grant the trials of the gods.

The second was her father, the Sun God, who told her that she must protect the heroes on the Tianting this time, especially the kind hero.

Her mother, the Ocean Goddess, told her that she would meet her destined hero during this journey.

So she came to Troy to complete the task given by her father Zeus and her father. At the same time, she was curious about what kind of man she would fall in love with after witnessing the tragic old age of her niece Medea.

So let's begin the first trial for the heroes!

When dawn broke, there was a knock on Xue Lufen's door, which made him very uncomfortable.

After several months, his body was already in tatters, and the suffering he had collected was not even a fraction of what the great sage had once collected.

Even though he now possesses the physique of a demigod, the protection of a Noble Phantasm and a Divine Protection, he is still wrapped in bandages and covered in a white robe to hide the scars and illnesses on his body.

Illness and suffering have also made his body numb, and he can only maintain barely any movement. His body has basically reached its limit, so he will set off for Olympus today.

[The prediction module has been installed. I'll help you add some other features in the final period. I won't be able to help you in real time in the future. Good luck.]

The old man’s words popped up on the panel.

He didn't say much during this period, and Xue Lufen also knew that the old man was awake less and less.

He had already been dead. In ancient Greece, he had tried his best to help Xue Falu block the prying eyes of the gods.

[Prophecy: Once a week, you can clearly predict a specific piece of information about the future of your world. Price: You will not be trusted by any creature in this world for 7 days.]

As expected, it was a function obtained by analyzing the prophecy witch.

He had no intention of using this ability now. He simply lowered his hood and muttered to himself, "Wish me luck."

It should have been very quiet outside the temple.

All Trojans knew of his poor health, and the area was quiet every morning. Even the most vulgar porters would lower their voices when passing the temple.

This is the respect and love that the Trojans have for him.

But today, there is only noise outside the door.

And the sound of pigs?

The first thing Xue Dinglu saw when he stepped out of the temple was Greek heroes holding weapons and looking furious, as well as a group of dozens of pigs dressed in clothes and armor at the entrance.

A question mark appeared above Xue's head, and at that moment, the elfin-like girl standing among the pigs spoke.

"Are you the kind hero Siddiqui? My name is Circe, and I am the messenger of Zeus, the father of heaven. I am the one who gives you trials and guides you to Olympus." The girl's voice sounded.

But at this moment, the group of Greek heroes were even more jealous. They didn't care about the witch's threat at all and wanted to kill her as soon as possible.

Xue Lufeng looked at the girl. She looked like a young girl, but Xue Lufeng knew that she was an old witch who had lived for who knows how long...

At the same time, she was also the most famous...madwoman in ancient Greece?

Especially since she now comes as a messenger of Zeus.

Did Zeus discover their plan?

No, if Zeus really found out, it would not be the witch Circe who would come, but the thunder of divine punishment and the Scylla sea monster.

"This is the first trial I give you. How will you treat these heroes who have turned into pigs?" She raised her head slightly and looked at Xue Lufen and the heroes in a very arrogant manner.

Looking at the angry expression of the Greek hero, the pig in armor, and combining it with the original text of this crazy woman, Xue Falun instantly guessed most of the story.

In the original story, Circe deceived the heroes who passed by her island, poisoning them and turning them into pigs.

And now, she still uses the same method.

The most important thing is that today is the day when the Tianting sets sail, but now, there are variables.

Xue Lufeng faced the most famous witch in mythology head-on. His voice was a little hoarse. "Messenger of Heavenly Father, do we only need to complete this trial before we can set sail?"

"That's right. The gods will set trials for you. Just like the heroes of the Argo, you will also go through twelve trials before you can finally go to Olympus. This is the first trial." She said, not caring at all about the angry looks of the Greek heroes.

Because behind her is Hermes, and behind Hermes is Zeus. Moreover, her father is the sun god and her mother is the goddess of the sea. Such a background makes her confident and arrogant.

In Circe's heart, she felt that the hero in front of her should either abandon these companions who had turned into pigs, or take these companions with him on the journey.

If they choose the latter, she will let this trial pass. This is the reference answer. If they choose to abandon their companions, it can only prove that the kind-hearted hero is just so-so. Circe will not hesitate to destroy the newly built Thunder, making this journey end in vain.

Of course there is a third option, which is to capture her and threaten her to turn these heroes back.

In the past, she might have been a little worried.

But now, she has Zeus behind her and the protection of the Hermes wind. Even among the gods, there are countless eyes looking here, as if following a live broadcast, looking forward to the start of this epic.

Therefore, she was not panicked at all, but instead thought it would be good if they really chose this way.

Among the Greek heroes, Odysseus came to Hector and said, "Hector, are you sure you can capture the witch before she reacts?"

Hector, who originally had a heavy expression on his face, replied: "Maybe I can try."

"Then we can capture her and force her to hand over the antidote, and this trial should be complete," said Odysseus.

The person who was later called "Quede Xiusi" on the Internet immediately came up with this idea to break the deadlock.

Hector's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the spear in his hand was aimed at Circe's body.

Seeing the hostile looks from the Greek heroes in the distance, she smiled and turned back, saying, "Heroes of Greece, when I set out, I also received the blessing of Hera, the Queen of Heaven. She made me fearless of any threats. Also, I received the blessing of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, who ensures that any hero who harms me will be retaliated against. So, I hope you won't consider threatening me directly to complete the trial."

Chapter 52: The Thunder, Sets Sail

Looking at this arrogant witch and listening to her words, even the great hero of Troy, Hector, stared at her with beast-like pupils, but could only retract the spear in his hand.

In this Greece full of gods, if someone uses gods as a banner, it is 100% true.

The spear in Hector's hand creaked. If he had been more decisive and thrown the spear at the beginning, this would not have happened. But now, even he could feel the eyes of the gods seemed to be looking at this place, as if watching a good show.

Their target was the One in the sky! If they bared their fangs here and alerted the One in the sky, he would be guilty even if he died a hundred times.

Looking at the witch, no matter how beautiful she was, the hero held his spear tightly.

Bring along the heroes who have been transformed into pigs? Is this the first trial given by the gods?

Odysseus seemed to see the answer. He immediately used Hector's broad shoulders to block his view and prepared to sneak into the temple to tell Xue Falun his guess.

Even if these heroes are temporarily turned into pigs, we can take them with us first. There must be a way to turn them back, or we can just ask the goddess Athena for help.

But just as Odysseus was out of sight, Xue Fa Lun reached out and touched the nearest pig.

The next moment, the armored pig turned back into the King of Sparta. He was furious and drew his sword, ready to chop at the smiling, transformed witch.

Being turned into a pig in front of the Trojans was a great humiliation for him. Even the history of his turning into a pig was recorded in later epics. Didn't he, the King of Sparta, have any face?

"Menelaos!" Hector stopped him directly.

The Spartan king could only angrily retract his sword. He actually knew that it was not appropriate to conflict with the messenger of the gods at this time, and he was just trying to scare them.

As Xue's law progressed step by step, all the heroes who had turned into pigs returned to their original form. They were all furious, but none of them took action. Instead, they looked at Circe fiercely.

But Circe paid no attention to the angry heroes. Her eyes were focused only on Xue Lufa, who was hiding under the hood. She asked curiously, "My kind hero, you can absorb all suffering into yourself, but why can you ignore my potion?"

"Have I completed this trial?" Xue Lufen did not follow the words of the messenger of Zeus, but asked directly.

"Okay, but you have to take off your hood. I want to see what the young man who can make all the gods marvel looks like." Her feathers pointed at Xue Lufeng, and a gust of wind blew off Xue Lufeng's hood.

At this moment, all the onlookers in Troy were shocked again.

That unique appearance and characteristics of ancient Greece, that appearance that is countless times more handsome than the legendary Apollo, how could there be someone with such appearance in all of Greece?

Circe's eyes were stunned for a moment. Not only her, but even heroes like Odysseus and Ajax the Great were stunned when they saw Xue Lufen's true appearance.

Even these male Greek heroes couldn't help but say in their hearts: "Brother, brother, you smell so good!"

Not to mention Circe, who was facing Xue Falun at this time. She was stunned for a moment. Even the gods in the sky were eclipsed by this appearance.
