I Will Be the Son of Man

******

Mount Olympus, somewhere in a palace.

On Aphrodite's wrist, an ornament shone slightly. Just now, she prevented a certain goddess of innocence from locking on a certain boy.

"That's not okay. If you find it in advance, the game will soon lose its effect."

"You know, now this is not just a bet between me and her, but also a bet between the gods."

Turning around and looking at the purple-haired goddess lying peacefully on the bed, as if she had fallen into some kind of long-term sleep, a smile appeared on the corner of Aphrodite's mouth.

Chapter 039: Rebellion (36/n)

Athens.

(③42967465)

After visiting most of the stalls, following the flow of people, Hill and Sasha came to the central square of the city.

There, King Aegeus was giving a speech.

Listening to the other party's praise of the city of Athens and the gods, Hill subconsciously remembered the speech of the golden king he saw at the last moment when he was a child.

Immediately, Hill lost interest in the speech that the citizens of Athens cheered for.

"Let's go back."

"Eh? Hmm."

Feeling that Hill's mood seemed a bit depressed, Sasha nodded. In fact, after a good stroll around, she was already very satisfied.

Naturally holding each other's hands, Sasha and Hill were about to leave first and return to the hut.

However, when passing through the dense crowd, Hill passed a man in white clothes and a white hood.

Smelling a strange smell from the other party, Hill couldn't help but look back, but immediately followed Sasha.

"Here, thank the gods and the city of Athens for everything they have brought us!"

Aegeus raised his wine glass with a smile on his face, and he was just about to drink the wine in the glass.

At this time, a stream of light suddenly shot towards him from the crowd below.

The court magician who had been by King Aegeus' side all the time realized it instantly, and cast the magic of the guard to block the light.

That is, an arrow.

"This is... someone is going to assassinate the king! Guards! Guards!"

The court magician immediately shouted, and the people below, who were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere, immediately became panicked and commotioned after hearing this.

"Tsk, did you really fail..."

"It seems that we can only use the alternative plan, hehe..."

The man with the hood took out his bow without any cover, and shot an arrow towards the sky.

The arrows were like fireworks. After reaching a high place, they exploded immediately, like some kind of signal.

The man lifted his hood, and there were some animal features on his face.

In the next second, the clothes on his body were torn apart, and a pair of jet-black wings appeared behind his back.

Soaring into the sky, the man raised his bow and shouted sharply.

"I am the descendant of Erechtheus, king of Athens - Potheus!"

"Aegeus caused Athens to be invaded and oppressed by Crete because of his own fault, and he also asked us to sacrifice seven pairs of virgin boys and girls to them every year, and send them into the mouth of the monster called Minotaur!"

"Just ask, if such a king can't even protect his own people, how can he protect our city! How can he protect the citizens who are still in Athens!"

"Now is the time to resist! Overthrow the cowardly rule of Aegeus, and let freedom return to Athens——!!!!"

Accompanied by Poteus' order, people in the commotion crowd drew out their swords and bows one after another, responded to the other party's call, and walked towards the place where King Aegeus was staying in the center of the square.

At the same time, all over the city seemed to have received some kind of signal at this time, and there were constant explosions.

Flames and gunpowder smoke began to pervade the city-state.

This is not an assassination at all, but a premeditated rebellion.

Hearing a familiar name from the bird-like being in the sky, Hill wanted to stop to check the situation, but Sasha seemed to see thick smoke and flames rising from a certain direction, and her face Anxiety was evident.

"Where is the...children's home?!"

"Not good! We have to hurry back!"

She stretched out her hand to pull La Hill, but Sasha immediately realized that Hill's current body was not easy to run.

With entanglement and hesitation in her eyes, Sasha pursed her lips and looked at Hill.

"I'll follow you later."

"I... know, Hill, you have to be careful."

After leaving such a sentence, Sasha ran away anxiously.

But because of the crowd fleeing in a panic, it was difficult for her to move forward due to her figure.

Seeing this, Hill silently took out his silver bow, and slowly pulled the bowstring with his numb hand.

A silver light flew over the heads of the crowd in an instant, making everyone stop in their tracks.

Seeing the meteor-like arrow flying far into the sky, Sasha was also taken aback for a moment, but she looked back at Hill who was holding the silver bow at the moment, and understood what happened.

Expressing her gratitude with her eyes, Sasha didn't stop and ran towards the hut in a hurry.

After looking at Hill in surprise for a while, the group of people around them ran away because of the commotion of the rebels.

The scene continued to fall into chaos.

Hill withdrew his silver bow and watched Sasha leave from a distance.

Now, before he fully recovered, the numbness in his hand might not disappear.

"Brother Regulus, there are still people, there are still people inside!"

A little boy grabbed Regulus by the corner of his clothes, almost crying out of anxiety.

They never imagined that on a day that was supposed to be lively and worth celebrating, the residences of themselves and others would be affected by the explosion magic performed by the rebels.

The hut where they used to live was destroyed in half in an instant. If it wasn't because everyone happened to be discussing what kind of big meal to prepare for the evening in the small courtyard, the group of them might have died in that accident.

"What are you talking about, there are still people inside?! Take care of grandma, I'll go there now!"

Hearing the little boy's words, Regulus gave a warning, and prepared to run back to the burning hut.

(③42967465)

When Sasha and Hill left, only he was the oldest, so Regulus felt that he had to shoulder the responsibility of being an older brother and protect these younger siblings.

As soon as he ran to the door of the hut, Regulus was choked by a burst of smoke and coughed uncontrollably.

"Regurus! Are you alright?! Everyone, are you alright?!"

Sasha stumbled back and ran back. The pure white long skirt on her body was already stained with a lot of black and gray, and even the corners of the skirt were damaged a lot.

"Sister Sasha, have you rushed back?! Brother Hill!"

"Sill is still behind and will be there later! Are you all okay?"

He looked up and down nervously at Regulus, but found that the boy's body was only slightly scratched, and his clothes were dirty a lot. It didn't seem to be a serious problem, so Sasha couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Brother Hill... hasn't come back yet? In that case, it's too late! Sister Sasha, there are still people in the house!!!"

Regulus was relieved after seeing Sasha rushing back, but immediately remembered the current situation, with a look of urgency on his face.

"There are... people in the house?"

Sasha was stunned for a second, and then the next second, before Regulus could react, she rushed directly into the burning cabin.

"Sister Sasha!"

Regulus originally wanted to follow behind and do his part, but a burst of scorching fire suddenly burst out from the hut, stopping his steps and forcing him to back away, his eyes full of anxiety.

"Regurus, where's Sasha?"

Panting slightly, Hill hurried back to the hut at a speed that was not considered a trot.

Along the way, he often encountered some self-proclaimed rebels, but in fact, the existence of robbers blocked his way.

It seems that because of his too conspicuous arrow, the rebels regarded him as someone from the side of Athens.

Therefore, Hill could only use his remaining strength to throw all those who showed hostility towards him into the wall.

"Brother Hill, you are finally back! Sister Sasha, she ran into the house..."

Before Regulus finished speaking, Hill glanced at the burning hut, and immediately got in again, as if he wasn't afraid of the flames at all.

"Wait......."

Ahhh, really, don't wait for me to finish talking about one or two, at least bring me in!

Brother Hill, you know, your current body can't hold on!

Regulus looked worriedly at the door of the hut covered by thick smoke. Now, he could only pray to the gods, hoping that everyone would be safe.

Goddess Athena, please bless Brother Hill and the others......

Regulus prayed devoutly, and then immediately set off again, ready to find a source of water to control the fire as much as possible.
