[Comprehensive British and American] Soul Wandering

151:

The illusion gradually changed, and Caius left the Artemisian ship wearing a bull's head mask.

Prince Phaistos had already prepared a boat to meet him nearby, and when Caius returned to Minos' warship, Prince Phaistos asked, "Shall we retreat?"

A decisive voice came from behind the mask: "Don't retreat."

The sea breeze was bleak, and the ship was ups and downs on the sea. Catherine stood on the deck and asked Ah Luo: "Caius loves her, why doesn't he help her?"

In the war between Greece and Persia, with Caius' temperament, he would not care about who wins or loses. For him, the important thing is Hermione, isn't it?If Hermione chooses Persia, then Caius will not make a contrary decision.

"No," Aro retorted, "You are wrong. For Caius at that time, Persia was the sinner who violated his wife's homeland. Even Artemisia couldn't make Caius change his mind."

In this era, Crete was a necessary place for people to travel between Eurasia and Africa. Each generation of Minos kings relied on its unique geographical location and rich natural resources to dominate all the time. the entire Eastern Mediterranean.

In this sea area, the choice of Minos directly determines the fate of other countries.

Artemisia led the navy to fight to the death with the Athenian navy, while Caius stood on Minos' ship, showing no intention of retreating.

Athens and Sparta joined forces, and Persia was at a disadvantage.

Artemisia was dressed in a black hunting suit, with two knives drawn from her waist at the same time. When she jumped off the deck, it meant that the pure Aegean Sea was destined to be stained with blood.

Artemisia has been ruthless since her childhood training. She is a ruthless killing weapon and the best support for Persia's strength.

"When she showed up here, she made two mistakes," Arrow said.

One is that they guessed Caius' intentions wrongly, and the other is that they did not expect the real thoughts of Persian King Xerxes.

Caius didn't care who she was now, in his heart, only Hermione, not the soul carrier of that generation, Xerxes felt that she was the biggest obstacle to his rule of Persia, so from the beginning of the war I never thought about letting her go back.

The sharp sword of the King of Athens pierced Artemisia's abdomen. The unbearable pain caused Artemisia to kneel down. She looked at Caius in the distance who had been standing idly by in disbelief, and her green eyes were full of tears. disappointment.

Artemisia has never filled her brain with any emotion other than revenge, but when she looked at Caius, there was only disappointment in her heart.

Disappointment comes from hope, but why did she have such strong trust in him after only seeing him once?

The pain in her abdomen told Artemisia that no one in this world would give her sincerity except herself.

The ocean swallowed her, and the Aegean was stained blood red.

152:

Ancient Egyptian civilization, Mesopotamian civilization and other early civilizations in the Mediterranean region all left their clear marks on Crete.

However, the civilization reflected in the palace of Knossos is obviously different from these ancient civilizations.

The generous city wall under the afterglow has restored its quietness for thousands of years, showing its magnificence more and more.

Exquisite murals appeared in front of Catherine, and Arrow led her into the Minoan labyrinth step by step.

Even though her feet had already stepped on the thick bricks, Catherine still felt uneasy. Most of the Caius she had seen had good manners, but the scene of mass killing just now made her unforgettable.

When Artemisia fell on the deck, the rock-like Minotaur monster finally made a move, and all the Persian navy died in his hands, even the Athenian general could not escape. .

The Athens general threatened: "We are allies. If you kill me, you will not give the King of Athens face."

Minotaur gradually increased the strength in his hands, and the fragile neck of the Athenian general had an irreparable crack in an instant. He replied contemptuously: "Athens, I never pay attention to it."

The ship's ups and downs on the Aegean Sea are as unstable as Catherine's heart.

153:

Artemisia survived, Caius rescued her and transformed her into a vampire.

Like Agnes, Artemisia's body was extremely resistant to the vampire's venom, and instead of transforming her body, the venom made her weaker.

So the monster Minos built an ancient city for his beloved beauty. For Caius, it was a palace, but for Artemisia, the ancient city was more like a cage.

Lock him up and lock her up too.

No one can come in and no one can go out.

The closed ancient city imprisoned both the body and the heart.

Standing in the dark ancient city, Catherine understands that Caius' heart has been corroded by venom during the long years of reunion and separation with Hermione, and he has lived up to his original purity and forgotten his original intention.

He no longer begged Artemisia to fall in love with him, he only wanted Artemisia to be with him forever, and loneliness was too terrifying for him.

His parents left him, his wife was imprisoned in Hades' Hades, his army lost his love just like him, and was sent to all corners of the world by Zeus, and he could only put on cowhide, This is what belongs to his own city-state.

Artemisia's body gradually lost its brilliance over the years, and the venom corroded her already broken internal organs. Catherine could not see a trace of the demeanor of a Persian admiral on her face.

Caius knelt by the bed, holding Artemisia's gradually cold hand, begging: "I give you my promise, my sincerity, my long years, I don't need anything, I just need your presence Here to accompany me forever, that's all, Hermione, I just need you to do this."

Catherine sighed.

She had never seen such a humble Caius, nor had she ever thought that Caius would love Hermione so much.

Aro said: "Vampires will only have one lover in their life. Once they lose their true love, they will become extremely weak. A long life is just a punishment for them."

Catherine asked, "Then how did Caius persevere?"

A Luo waved his hand, the illusion collapsed, another illusion was gradually established, the fire spread under their feet, and an altar gradually appeared in front of Catherine, A Luo said: "Because he met me and Marcus."

154:

Marcus is from Mycenae, he is the vampire with the longest conversion period, when he died, he was sent to Minos by the King of Mycenae as a friendly proton, he died in the turbulent Aegean Sea, because of the war Because of his death, his soul was imprisoned in the sky along with the Aegean sea. It was not until 100 years later that he broke free and returned to the body that had been sealed in the sea.

Because of this different experience, his strength is so powerful that it is frightening.

In revenge, he seized the throne and sent all people related to him to Minos.

And Aro himself seized the right to inherit the kingdom during the turbulent period of the imperial power in Athens. He tied up the losers who competed for the throne and their supporters, and gave them to Minos as sacrifices.

Both sacrificed thousands of slaves to the mighty Minos, and it is for this reason that Artemisia survived.

The Minoans all knew that there was a huge royal city on their island. No one knew what was inside the city walls. They could only see the never-ending black smoke in the sky above the royal city.

"Life for life," Arrow said, "burn the slave's life for Artemisia's life."

"Thousands of lives, exchange for one life, can this be considered love?" Catherine couldn't help trembling, "Shouldn't loving her respect her ideas?"

"But Artemisia doesn't love Caius," Aro replied, "and Caius doesn't need her understanding and forgiveness."

Artemisia never cared about human life. In her eyes, other than her own life, other people's lives were insignificant, so Caius paid for her like this, and she only felt that she was not free, that's all.
