Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

Apollo and Artemis were even embarrassed to tell the other gods that they had watched a whole day of marathon and the performance art of an ordinary human in the square.

Until Chris walked up to Ye and completed the handover of his task, the onlookers in the square couldn't help but cast their eyes on Ye, and then they were all attracted by Ye's handsome and extraordinary image and temperament.

At this moment, the gods seemed to understand why Ye asked Chris to repeat those meaningless actions.

That behavior itself had no meaning, but it could attract a large crowd. Now Chris easily turned the attention of the crowd that he had attracted over the past few hours to Ye.

So far——

The entire central square was already filled with a large crowd of people.

Ye seized the opportunity and began to loudly announce his identity again——

But he didn't say anything, instead he started showing off his skills.

Since they have all been blessed with powerful musical talents by the gods.

How can you not make use of this talent to add a sense of mystery and legend to your identity?

Immediately——

Ye took out his harp, closed his eyes slightly, and then began to improvise, telling his story in the most popular way of that era.

Just like a wandering poet! Or just like Opris, the son of Apollo, the god of the sun, who used the wind to tell his thoughts and his stories to people.

The translation of the lyrics, coupled with the God-given musical talent and powerful ability to appeal to emotions, allows Ye to easily weave the musical world he wants.

I'm Griffith Lista...

The descendants of the heroes of the Argo are now traveling around Greece on adventures.

Then Ye recounted the process through singing how he used the gold coins to complete an unconventional marathon and screened out the strong followers he needed.

The melodious singing even drifted into the palace, and even Telephus heard the beautiful music, but he was too far away to hear the sound of the piano and not the voice of Ye himself.

And here, in the square——

It can be seen that people have been attracted.

If the people who gathered here in the beginning were all there because they were briefly attracted by Chris’s performance art and wanted to find out what was going on.

So now - they are interested in Ye's identity.

Then Ye distributed gold coins directly at the entrance of the square.

When huge amounts of gold coins were really given out, Ye's credibility was once again affirmed.

At this point, many people had already believed the fabricated statement he had made up before.

It is just like Shang Yang setting up a tree. He spent a lot of money to have someone move a three-meter-long tree from the south gate to the north gate, and then gave him a reward of fifty yuan.

This seemingly meaningless and wasteful action actually gained people's trust and established the prestige of subsequent laws, allowing them to be better implemented.

Ye ran a marathon and spent a lot of money, which made countless people trust him. Now they are even more convinced that he is the descendant of a hero!

And at this moment, the night finally revealed its true intentions——

He told everyone that as a descendant of the hero on the Argo, his grandfather asked him to visit the children of his old friends before he left and get to know them...

Next, he will bring his entourage to pay a friendly visit and meeting with Telephus, who is also a descendant of a hero.

Suddenly——

This epoch-making meeting between the sons of heroes attracted the enthusiastic attention of the people in the whole city.

So people began to pay attention to this matter and imagined what it would be like when Griffith Lister met their King.

What?What?

A meeting of the sons of heroes?

A continuation of the Argonaut era?

If there were something like newspapers in this world, it would surely attract more people.

People even began to imagine whether the two descendants of heroes would talk about the interesting stories of their fathers and grandfathers on the Argo when they met.

And finally——

What happened in front of the palace alarmed King Telephus who was inside the palace.

With such a big commotion, the palace gatekeepers naturally hurriedly passed the news back to the palace early.

Telephus dared not slack off...

Although he was a little confused, was there such a hero on the Argo?

When my father was still alive, he told me stories about what happened on the Argo.

But apart from a few famous ones, such as Captain Jason, who was quite good friends with Hercules, Telephus had long forgotten about the stories of some ordinary heroes.

Not to mention that after becoming king, he was busy with all kinds of affairs every day, so how could he have the time to review some old events that have become epics.

But other people’s descendants have come for friendly meetings, so their relationship must be very good, right?

When Telephus asked - what was the hero's real name.

The name that Night had made up for the coachman - Kratos Lista - immediately entered Telephus's ears.

Although he racked his brains, he couldn't remember who this Kratos Lista's uncle was.

I don’t know?! My father didn’t tell me either?

Or did you tell me and I forgot?

Telephus's expression at that time was stiff and a little dazed.

But since everyone is here, let’s take a look first.

In order to show respect, Telephus immediately made a decision and went to the palace gate in person to greet Mr. Griffith Lista.

When Telephus went out, he saw a large group of people surrounding an extremely handsome young man with silver hair who looked as sacred as if he was bathed in moonlight and was slowly approaching.

——Griffith Lista, Telephus recognized Ye's identity in the crowd at a glance.

It was impossible not to recognize him, or rather, this scene frightened Telephus, and he began to desperately recall which hero Kratos was.

How could the mere offspring of the other party attract so many people?

The crowd of supporters (the onlookers) naturally would not open their mouths to explain anything to their King at this time: Well, we were just curious and came here to take a look, we don’t have any other ideas.

But this scene did frighten Telephus.

He began to feel lucky for his own caution. Fortunately, he did not dismiss the man simply because he had never heard of the hero's name.

He began to smile brightly and took the initiative to greet them.

This welcome was so amazing that the onlookers below seemed to have their eyes lit up and were stunned for a moment.

At this time, there was only one thought left in the minds of the people in the royal city - the king came to greet them personally, and was so enthusiastic!

A feeling of complete confusion arose spontaneously - people were completely certain of Ye's identity.

Aren’t these the descendants of the heroes on the Argo? How could their king be so enthusiastic?!

Chapter 17 When even the gods with a God's perspective began to doubt the existence of heroes

Some people were amazed: The last time Agamemnon came, the king had a grim face, but I have never seen him smile so brightly! !

That's the King of Mycenae!

The people knew that their king had a special status as the son of Hercules, so even the king of Mycenae, the overlord state that dominated all of Greece, could be disrespectful and not give them face.

But on the other hand, the person to whom the king gave such respect must be of much higher status, or he must be close enough to the king's family to be so enthusiastic.

Doesn't this further prove that he is a descendant of the Argonauts?

If Telephus knew what the people were thinking at this moment, he would definitely shout - slander!

Even though he is the son of Hercules, he is not Hercules himself, and he knows his own strengths and weaknesses very well.

He could explain away the Mycenae king's sullen face - nonsense...! They just attacked your country, looted it, and then just apologized and left without paying anything...

Can you show him a good face?

If Telephus had been strong enough, he would have killed Agamemnon with a single blow.

Unfortunately, he believed that he only inherited his father's wisdom, but not his bravery. It's not that he doesn't want revenge, but he just can't win!

As Ye was invited to the palace by Telephus, Telephus hosted a banquet for Ye with extremely high standards.

Soon, the two of them had a great conversation at the wine table...

Well, it's just that Telephus mentioned from time to time at night how good his grandfather's relationship was with the other heroes on the Argo, and what interesting things they did together.

Telephus didn't remember any of them...but he didn't care too much, he just kept agreeing...

Telephus was a little embarrassed.

Those things happened too long ago, and his father never told him the details of the experience. God knows what happened on the Argonaut back then.

And Ye happened to deliberately pick some trivial, almost worthless and interesting daily stories to talk about, all of which were things that could not be verified.

But the night sounds very natural, even vivid and lifelike.

If it is a made-up story, then it is too detailed... (Ye: If you are not interested in Norse mythology, we also offer Celtic mythology and Egyptian mythology packages.)

It was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but it was just like the misconception that the public had fallen into before.

There is no benefit in spending so much time and effort on something other than increasing your fame, so the other party should not deceive you on such a thing.

Moreover, the king believed that the people had already confirmed Ye's identity and spontaneously supported Ye, so they naturally chose to believe in Ye's identity.

When the people saw the king coming out to greet them, they spontaneously believed in Ye's identity.

Maybe someday they will think of learning about the legend of the hero on the Argo.

As participants in this experience, coachmen, people in the slums, and even citizens will spontaneously spread the story and use it as a topic of conversation.

This kind of deception caused by habitual thinking becomes more difficult to detect as time goes by.

It can be said that Ye has already achieved half of his success by reaching this point.

Apollo, the sun god, and Artemis, the moon goddess, who witnessed almost the entire process, fell into silent and mysterious thought.

it turns out--

Is this okay?

Are those mortals just fools?

It can be said that Ye's operation can be replicated by anyone else as long as they are bold, careful and calm enough, but the success rate will not be as high.

The few loopholes that were easy to find were completely concealed by his calm attitude and his good looks, temperament and magnanimity.

Especially the story about the hero Kratos Lista that Ye made up on the spur of the moment...

The two gods were very interested.

For example, he encountered the mysterious Valkyrie Brunhilde in Iceland, obtained the divine tool there, and then used the divine tool to defeat the evil dragon Fafnir, who was guarding a large amount of gold, on another island.

The story is very detailed and even more exciting than the stories of most Greek heroes today.

For the Greek gods, who are all obsessed with heroes, it would be a pity if such a wonderful story was not true.

The premise is that Apollo and the others have not heard of other adventure versions of Kratos - let's learn about God Killing...

'Is there really a Valkyrie named Brunhilde?

Since it is a small island in the ocean, could it be a fairy under Poseidon?

"Well, it could also be a goddess under another ancient sea god."

Apollo and Artemis were thinking at this time -

Although nominally Greece is composed of three brothers, Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, the three gods, who respectively rule the three major regions of heaven, underground (the underworld), and the ocean.

But in fact, apart from the sky...

In the other two major regions, Poseidon can basically only control one-third of the Greek ocean.

In addition to Oceanus, the god of the ocean, who was one of the twelve Titans who dominated the world in the last era, there are also many areas ruled and controlled by monsters such as Leviathan that are so powerful that even the gods are afraid of them.

The underworld is also - in addition to the obvious hell, there is also the abyss, a deeper realm that even the gods cannot touch - it itself is the body of the ancient god Tartarus.
