Greece brings evildoers

The Centaur Sage by the river stood up from the green grass and looked back at the old man behind him.

"He's gone?"

"Hmm..."

"You should go too, right?"

"About time."

Lorne nodded, bent down and sat down on a bluestone, then skillfully took out a pen and paper, suddenly put on a serious demeanor and asked seriously.

"So, who did we talk about last time?"

"Father Uranus."

"Okay, Mr. Ma, go on, I'm listening."

"..."

Chiron looked at the blind old man in front of him, and finally gave up correcting this strange name, and patiently told the past about the first generation of Titan God Uranus.

A few days ago, the blind poet who called himself "Homer" came to Mount Pelion where he lived under the guise of seeking medical treatment.

During the treatment, he didn't care about his illness at all, but was keen to ask himself some strange questions.

For example, where did the original life come from?

Is there a master named "Chaos" in the ancient chaos?

What kind of past did the twelve Titans have?

Are the gods of the Titan era more like humans or beasts?

How did the first golden humans reproduce before Pandora, a woman, came?

These questions cover various aspects such as local customs, historical legends, rumors and secrets. Many of them cannot be answered by himself, and he can only explain the few questions he knows.

However, he is extremely satisfied.

And in order to get more and more detailed information, this strange old man even used the excuse of seeking medical treatment for his blindness and has stayed in Mount Pelion for several days.

The breeze blew, and the old man, as an audience, listened quietly to Chiron's explanation while moving the pen tip rustling, and lines of meaningful and beautiful holy words were engraved on the blank parchment.

"Uranus, the constant component of the universe, the oldest god, the beginning and end of everything, Father of the universe, you are like a planet orbiting the earth, the abode of the blissful gods, you are patrolling in an instant, protecting the heaven and earth, covering all things! You have the invincible necessity of nature in your heart. You are deep blue, unconquerable, radiant, and ever-changing, the outstanding spirit of bliss, you see everything, you will give birth to Kronos, listen to me, please give believers a holy life." As the last sentence was completed, the blind old man put the parchment roll aside to dry with satisfaction, and continued to ask. "Okay, next, the second generation of God King Kronos? What kind of existence is he?" The sage Chiron thought for a moment and made a pertinent description as usual. The old man's pen tip moved again, and while rustling the handwriting, Chiron glanced at the corner of his eye and found that the invisible air around the blind old man seemed to have nine graceful figures, looming. Whenever there was a pause in the choice of words and a problem in the decoration of words, the nine figures around him responded differently:

They either held the old man's arm and wrote for him; or hummed in his ear to soothe his emotions;

or brushed across his gray eyes to broaden his vision in the chaos; or gently embraced the old head to awaken his dry spring thoughts.

…

At the same time, the expression, temperament and demeanor of the old face seemed to be constantly changing, sometimes depressed, sometimes happy; sometimes solemn, sometimes cheerful; sometimes angry, sometimes calm... It was as if countless characters, countless memories, and countless personalities poured into the brain, together coloring the lines of holy words written.

"Kronos, father of men and gods, you never grow old,

Titan, clever, pure, strong and brave,

You destroy everything and regenerate everything,

You embrace the infinite universe in the immortal connection,

Kronos, the constant master of time, Kronos, the colorful words,

Son of Gaia and starry Uranus!

You are born, grow and decline, husband of Rhea, pioneer of dignity.

You live in every corner of the universe, you are the ancestor of the living,

You are cunning and resourceful, you are the bravest! Listen to my prayer,

Give me a rich and blameless ending for my life."

The period fell, the rustling pen stopped moving, the old man showed a satisfied smile, and handed the parchment full of characters to the opposite side.

"How?"

Looking at the holy words in his hand, Chiron was amazed, as if he could see the magnificent past [history] through the paper, and a figure in his memory seemed to jump out of the paper.

But, there is a flaw in the ointment.

"It's so well written."

"Which sentence?"

"I mean the character image..."

Chiron looked at the description of [Kronos] on the parchment and pointed out the mistake honestly.

Lorne couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

This centaur sage Chiron is actually a complete god born by the Titan King Kronos and the goddess Philura.

But because Kronos had sex with Philura in the form of a horse, Chiron was born as a centaur.

Mother Philura was unwilling to feed Chiron because of his strange appearance, and finally turned into a linden tree.

In addition to Kronos' reputation of devouring his offspring, his impression of his parents is naturally not very good.

As for the doubts of the parties involved, Lorne, as the author, took out a well-prepared rhetoric.

"Since it is a sacred word praising the gods and creation, it is natural to show their brighter side. Some beautification is also appropriate."

Chiron thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and showed a trace of apology for his rudeness.

Teacher Ma, what a good person!

Seeing this situation, Lorne lamented in his heart that he could meet a rare species like 24k pure and good people in Greece, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty for concealing some insincere words.

Well, as a pragmatist, he only glorified Cronus when he was full.

The reason for doing this is that as long as Cronus is whitewashed, Zeus' power seizure can be indirectly discredited.

As the human population on earth gradually grew, the gods apparently did not realize that the era of culture-determined beliefs had arrived.

The historical pen is like a knife. If we master this right to speak and reshape the images of gods in literature and history, it will inevitably affect human beings' belief in different gods.

Moreover, carrying private goods has always been something pen writers like to do.

But if you want to create literary works that are known around the world and expand their influence, you need the best minds and inspiration.

It is precisely based on this deep purpose that Lorne risked offending Apollo to death, and obtained nine Muses from the hands of the God of Light, and through this time in the lower world, he shared the pseudonym [Homer] with them. , to complete his long-planned plan.

——That is, he revised the [Holy Dictionary], compiled the [Theogony], and secretly crushed his own Dionysian teachings into pieces and stuffed them into it.

Of course, in order to achieve superficial fairness, it is necessary to interview the parties and insiders and conduct "historical data collection."

The good old Chiron was his first interviewee.

In addition, he also has other plans for Teacher Ma himself.

It seems that the linden tree that my mother transformed into is a kind of tree that is full of kindness to the world. The flowers were used medicinally, and the bark was used as a divination tablet.

Therefore, even if Chiron did not have the love of his parents, he did not regret himself and fight against the world. Instead, he worked hard to learn to become a sage when he grew up.

Generally speaking, in addition to being excellent hunters, using the lower body of the horse with superb bow and arrow skills, the centaurs also have a savage side that snatches all kinds of items.

For example, the centaur tribes Lorne and Artemis encountered in Arcadia were wild and difficult to train.

Only Chiron has the impression of a "sage", and his kind-hearted character is unique among the centaurs.

Chiron grew up proficient in all kinds of knowledge. Due to his calm character and ingenious teaching methods, countless "future heroes" in Greece were educated by him.

Heroes such as Hercules, Achilles, Asclepius who later became the god of medicine, and Castor who became the Gemini were all his students.

In addition, Jason, the leader of the Argonauts and the man who joined Medea, was also one of the students, and he was full of students.

The reason why Lorne chose to come to Teacher Ma's residence as the first stop was that he was entrusted by his old lover Artemis to take care of his cheap nephew Asclepius. Athena means poaching people.

——The goddess of wisdom followed his advice and opened an [Athens Academy] in Athens, focusing on the popularization of academics and magic.

Since it has just been established, both teachers and students are in short supply.

The sage Chiron, who has many peaches and plums all over the world, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Moreover, as the unpopular son of Cronus, Chiron is also well suited to develop into a co-conspirator against Olympus.

Although he himself is independent of the world, in this chaotic world, not fighting means that you are weak and can be bullied, and it does not necessarily mean that fate will let you go at a critical moment.

As far as Lorne knows, one day in the future, when resolving a dispute between the Centaurs, Chiron, a good man, will be shot by a poisonous arrow from nowhere, and will have to endure it because of his immortality. With pain.

It was not until the centaur sage, who was independent of the world, became "Sagittarius", surrendered to Olympus, adorned the divine power of the sky, and returned immortality to the gods, that he finally got rid of this pain.

The one who shot the poisonous arrow at that time was none other than his most proud disciple, the great hero Hercules.

Moreover, Heracles only had a conflict with a group of centaurs when they were competing for a barrel of wine brewed by Dionysus.

The manic hero chased and beat up the centaurs who had offended him.

But an arrow fired at the centaurs grazed the arm of an unlucky man and hit Chiron's knee.

The participants in this tragedy, except for Hercules and the group of centaurs, the venom on the arrows came from Hydra, the Hydra who was killed by Hercules.

If there wasn't something fishy about the fate put together by a group of "coincidences", Lorne himself wouldn't believe it.

Therefore, whether as a suspect in the case or to cause trouble for the God King of Olympus, he had to eliminate this possible future and abduct the versatile Teacher Ma to Athens.

Thinking of this, Lorne looked solemn and spoke in a deep voice.

"Teacher Ma, your disciple Asclepius has agreed to the invitation of the Academy of Athens and plans to reunite with you in Athens after traveling to Cyprus. Through the revelation of fate, I seem to have seen something not so good. Something might happen to him, so..."

Upon hearing this, Chiron was silent for a moment, then took out the bronze emblem of the Gorgon from his arms. After a few days of hesitation, he finally made up his mind and responded in a deep voice.

"Athens? Okay, I will go..."

Seeing that the centaur sage was finally tricked into boarding the pirate ship, an unscrupulous god who specializes in cheating honest people smiled with satisfaction.
