Douluo: The Adventures of King Skin

"Actually, don't worry. Many of you will never meet the true love of your dreams in your lifetime. You will only choose to find random people and feed each other because you are afraid of dying alone."

——Seneca

Before leaving, Pyrrhus announced to the scientific research backbone that the profits from the sale of "extreme sports equipment" would be distributed by the experimental park itself, and several academic leaders almost got into a fight on the spot.

"I think the situation is already obvious, right? 'Ferro alloy' is the key core technology of windsurfing. This light and strong material must be supported to maintain the iteration progress!" Maria had just sent her apprentice away, her eyes were still swollen. Then he took the initiative to start a battle for funds.

"Little girl, for now, materials are really not the focus. Of course, if one day I start building iron ships, our shipyard will definitely invest heavily in your research and development." Massalia Shame skillfully painted a pie for people.

"Pythias is wrong! What does it have to do with your shipyard that the funds are allocated by the Experimental Park this time? Of course, the limited funds must be invested in projects that are more likely to produce results, such as my 'Light and Shadow Distortion' project……"

"Although I didn't participate in the 'Windsurfing' project, I have one thing to say as a mere stranger. When the shipyard gets the funds, shouldn't it also entrust our experimental park to conduct research and development? In this way, instead of giving it directly to us..."

"Shut up! Desiachus, you traitor! Oh...I know! Did you secretly make some deal with him for your own 'ocean mapping' project? Wake up! In the final analysis, this long-haired guy has nothing to do with us. They’re not from the same group!”

"Sir Stratton, I think this has nothing to do with hair. What you say is unfair to Lady Maria! Lady Maria, please also say something. Cleopatra and I made the 'water, land and air integration' You have already seen the project plan of the aerodynamic autonomous vehicle, don’t you want to fulfill your apprentice’s last wish..."

"You traitor! What's the point of a ship that can't sail far away? Have you forgotten your father's sincere teachings and high expectations for you?! I remember when your mother passed away early and I raised you with shit and urine..."

"What is the last wish? Cleopatra is not dead, and we also agreed to pursue the true fire of the sun. Wait a minute, what is the relationship between iron alloy and the true fire of the sun? Am I being deceived by Pyrrhus..."

"Have you finally discovered it? Little girl, listen to my brother, you are running counter to your original intention. Just leave the ferrous alloy to the blacksmith to study it. Light is the essence of the sun..."

“I’m not going to brag about it, let me be fair. Although the profits of windsurfing are high, they are only temporary gains. Don’t be blinded by short-term petty profits. Only the overall progress of sailing can truly provide us with a steady stream of funds... …”

Pyrrhus: "..."

You guys chat, I’m leaving first.

**

Before leaving, another troublesome person appeared.

Scopas was seriously injured in the battle of Onchistas, but after all he was in good physical condition and was almost in good condition when he went to Athens. However, Pyrrhus secretly informed the doctor to seal him with plaster for two more years. months.

This time he would follow Pyrrhus no matter what. Military orders were not applicable. If Pyrrhus insisted on keeping him in the military academy, "then I will resign!"

"..."

This guy and Maitilas can be called his sleeping dragons and phoenixes in the army. They dare to fight and fight hard, but sometimes they are like children and are a little stubborn.

However, Pyrrhus also had high hopes for them. They might be the only people who could support him unconditionally at critical moments, so Pyrrhus was willing to accommodate them on some issues that had nothing to do with principles.

And of course Achilles.

Although Achilles is not so honest, he is absolutely reliable.And he is now the only person who has both the qualifications and the ability to keep up with Pyrrhus in military theory.

This time when he went south, Pyrrhus decided to establish a staff system with him as the center and make adjustments in actual combat.

…………

Lamia's ruthless face cut through the oncoming waves.

This new ship is equipped with three gaff sails and can move forward regardless of the wind or the wind. The structure uses new structures such as watertight compartments and ribs, as well as a higher forecastle and an inverted bow. It can move forward regardless of safety and speed. All outstanding.

Heading south amidst the envious gazes of countless passing ships.

Starting from the Gulf of Maris, passing through the Strait of Chalcis, bypassing the Attica Peninsula and the Argolic Peninsula, you enter the Argolic Gulf.

Going all the way along the bay, you reach the famous Argos, a city-state named after the Cyclops.

Like Sparta, it was a Dorian city.

After taking Corinth, Demetrius continued to advance toward the interior of the Peloponnese. The enemy troops fled in front of him, and no one dared to challenge them.

He accepted the friendship of the Arcadians, paid another hundred talents to let the remaining defenders leave, restored the freedom of Argos and several city-states, and basically fell to him the eastern part of the Peloponnese. hands.

At this time, this man was leisurely presiding over Hera's festival in Argos.

Hera, the wife of Zeus, the bull-eyed goddess, the goddess who wears golden shoes.

She symbolizes the marriage covenant between the male master and the female master. She is a firm defender of monogamy. She is the great supporter of the empresses in the palace all over the world.

Argos was the first place where this goddess was worshiped, so she was also called the goddess Argos.

Traditionally, there are only three virgin goddesses among the Greek gods: Athena, Artemis, and Hestia, but apart from these, Hera's situation is quite special.

This goddess is called a "half-virgin" because she believes that chastity is a prerequisite for marriage, so Hera will regain her virginity through a bathing ceremony every year, and then remarry Zeus to consolidate the relationship between the God King and God Queen. of the Holy Alliance.

For this reason, during the Hera Festival, in addition to religious sacrifices, the so-called "Virgin Games" are also traditionally held, which are sports games specially prepared for unmarried girls.

No wonder Dmitri was interested.

Speaking of Hera, we have to mention Heracles, because his name is "Hera's Curse". The deeds of this hero are basically the history of the grievances between the illegitimate son and the royal empress.

In terms of reality, both men clearly brought their faith to Dorian.

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, the descendants of Heracles were kings in Argos. One of the princes named Caranus failed in his bid for the throne, so he went to Macedonia to establish his own country. The demigod bloodline of the Acid royal family. From this, to Alexander himself, it was already the 38th generation.

In the opinion of Pyrrhus, a half-hearted historian, the so-called bloodline of Heracles is basically equivalent to Dorian barbarians, invaders from the Dark Ages.

Be it Hera or Heracles, none of these things can escape the suspicion of being a kind of upstart family tree.

The original owners of this bay valley were the remnants of the previous generation, Mycenae and Tiryns. These two city-states survived the great collapse at the end of the Bronze Age and survived for hundreds of years under the feet of the Argives. years, and was finally completely wiped off the map 100 years ago.

Cities were destroyed and people dispersed.

Now only the tombs of the Mycenaean kings are still a dozen miles north of Argos, and the Cyclops Palace in Tiryns. At this time, right in front of Pyrrhus, on the hills on the east side of the bay superior.
