traveler of time and space

"You don't even know this?" Yorke's expression was quite surprised, and he asked back: "The legendary golden apple can keep youthful forever! Didn't you hear the story about it when you were young?"

Isn't that something out of fairy tales?

Su Ziyu is not very knowledgeable, but he has learned some western mythology for the background of the game. The golden apple has appeared in both Greek mythology and Nordic mythology.

The golden apple is a very famous treasure in Greek mythology.

The golden apples first appeared at the wedding of Zeus and Hera. Gaia, the goddess of the earth, brought back a large tree with lush branches from the west coast as a wedding gift to Zeus and Hera. The tree was full of golden apples.Zeus sent the three daughters of the night god, called Hesperides, to guard the holy garden where the golden apples were planted, and Radon, a hundred-headed dragon, helped them guard.

In addition, the Trojan War broke out because of the golden apple.

At that time, the goddess Eris gave a golden apple at the wedding of the human hero Paleus and the sea goddess Thetis, which said "for the most beautiful goddess", and then Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite paid for it. This golden apple cannot be disputed.Zeus asked a guy named Paris to be the judge. The three goddesses made very attractive conditions for the golden apples. Hera promised him supreme power and blessed him as a superior ruler, Athena Promising him wisdom and strength, encouraging him to take risks and become a hero, Aphrodite promised to make the most beautiful woman in the world fall in love with him and become his wife.

In the end, this guy abducted the queen of Sparta, a very famous beauty in history-Helen, which directly led to the outbreak of the Trojan War.

Compared with Greek mythology, the golden apple in Norse mythology is much simpler.

It is a magical treasure that can rejuvenate the old and restore youth. It is said that it is the key to maintaining the immortal life of the gods. When the gods are old, they only need to taste the golden apple to restore their youth.

Looking at it this way, the golden apple is a bit like the flat peach in oriental mythology.

"Golden apple..."

Su Ziyu frowned and thought, suddenly he thought of the dream forest, and thought of the scary and weird clay puppet, if he remembered correctly, the clay puppet held an apple made of black soil in its hand .

He still thought it was weird at the time.

Thinking about it now, could it be related to the golden apple?

"The meat is roasted. It will be mushy later." York's voice awakened Su Ziyu who was in deep thought.

He picked up a piece of roasted dragon meat and handed it to York, then took a piece himself and took a bite.

how to say?

The meat is a bit hard, very chewy, and the taste is not very good, but it feels warm in the stomach after eating, and I feel like I want to vent my energy.

It should be a very nourishing food.

Silent all night.

The two of them continued on their way the next day, and York would tell him some northern stories and legends along the way, and from time to time he would mention some heroes in the minstrelsy population.Time passed day by day like this, with York leading the way, the squid saved a lot of trouble, and also avoided a mountain giant's lair on the way.

They reached the northern border on the morning of the fourth day. York stood by a river and said with a regretful expression: "I can only send you here."

"I can't set foot in the South for some reason."

"Good luck!"

Su Ziyu smiled, and then threw a ruby ​​over.

After York took it, he smiled and said, "Come over next time, and I'll help you reforge that short blade."

"Gnomes are master forges."

Su Ziyu smiled and agreed that he had a very tight time to come out this time, and he didn't have time to delay in the north. Besides, what he used most now was the anti-material sniper rifle.This guy York really likes to brag, and Su Ziyu really doesn't believe in his craftsmanship.

"Really." As if guessing Su Ziyu's thoughts, York yelled, "My ancestors even forged artifacts!"

"Next time you come over."

"I'll show you the handiwork of a dwarf!"

look.

He didn't agree with each other and bragged again.

Su Ziyu sat on the horseback without even turning his head. He just waved his hands and continued on his way. He had to find a boat to cross the river.

Chapter 24 旅途2

After entering the southern border, the climate became much warmer.

The northern region is sparsely populated, and there are no pedestrians along the way.But after arriving in the southern region, you can encounter some caravans on the road.Although Su Ziyu has a map in his hand, in this era, the map alone may not be able to know the way. Fortunately, he can meet some caravans on the road, and he can ask how to get there.

But good luck will not always favor him. On the morning of the sixth day when Su Ziyu went to the capital, the steed he got from the barbarian collapsed from exhaustion.

The horses in this world have good stamina and are tall, but they can't bear the heavy load of Su Ziyu after all. The weight of an anti-material sniper rifle alone is enough.He is also inexperienced, he has no horse riding experience before, and he did not prepare enough forage on the road.This kind of long-distance trek requires a lot of forage for the horses, such as eggs and beans, and he basically feeds grass along the way.

It's also fortunate that the horse has good stamina, otherwise it would have fallen down a long time ago.

no way.

Su Ziyu had no choice but to release the horse, and continued on his way with his things on his back.

There are more towns in the south, anyway, he still has a lot of money, and he plans to buy another horse when the time comes.

When he really walked with his legs, Su Ziyu felt really slow.

Fortunately, that afternoon, he met a large caravan. After paying the price of one silver coin, he successfully followed the caravan on the road.The pack animal used by the caravan is a rhinoceros-like dragon beast, with a huge body, rough skin and thick flesh, but a gentle personality.The leader is an old man with a white beard and a three-cornered hat, a very shrewd old guy.

Most notable are the caravan guards.

These guards are all tall and burly, at least about two meters long, and the tallest one is even close to three meters.

At first Su Ziyu thought he was a giant.

It was only later that I realized that he was only a half-giant. The giants in this world are generally over six meters tall, and some giants with special blood can even grow up to two or thirty meters.Of course, this is still not as good as the giant snake in York's mouth. He said that the legendary giant snake is more than 30 meters long, and even an adult dragon can swallow it in one gulp.

Considering that York likes to brag, Su Ziyu thinks that the giant snake is only 200 meters long at most.

This caravan is also preparing to go to the capital.

Su Ziyu was going to follow them, so as not to waste more time by taking a detour.

The goods transported by the caravan were fur specialties from the north. These people were relatively silent and did not communicate much along the way, but looked at Su Ziyu with curious eyes from time to time.Although Su Ziyu wore a large cloak outside, his clothes and weapons were still quite eye-catching.

Night falls.

"Let's camp here and rest." The old man in charge shouted.

soon.

Everyone piled the goods in a circle, some began to prepare the food, and others were responsible for feeding the pack animals.
