To be king [Greek mythology]

Asked to unload the weapon and directly entered the main city of Corinth.

The king of Corinth met with the young Spartan king who had become famous in recent years, and settled him and the warriors he brought with him properly.

"I have known you for a long time." Before Thurps could speak, the middle-aged King of Corinth spoke first, and his smile made people feel very comfortable.

"Thank you." Thurps said humbly, "Thank you for your willingness to help Sparta."

"What the goddess means, Corinth naturally has no hesitation." King Corinth invited Thurps to sit down, "Just one thing, I hope the king of Sparta can agree."

Thurps smiled and didn't say enough, "If I can do it, naturally I won't make more excuses."

"I just heard that you are a prophet, so I want to hear your prophecy..." King Corinth said, looking at Thurps with expectation.

Corinth is rich to rich, but it has not been further improved for many years, and the kings of all generations only want to keep it.

Not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, such a negative attitude stopped Collins from moving forward.

Surps looked at King Corinth for a while, but finally shook his head with a smile.

King Corinth showed a look of regret.

With his attitude, Thurps is not very easy to ask about the isthmus.

The young Spartan king was silent for a while, and finally gave up the method of asking directly.

After all, this matter is related to the survival of Corinth as a whole and the main source of income. If you ask directly here, it is better to go to see it first and then talk about it.

If you want to use Corinth as a springboard to win the war, you have to leak some broth to Collins no matter what.

Otherwise, even if there are gods on it, Corinth will not be very happy.

It's just that whether the broth is more or less depends on how much Corinth has contributed to the war.

If you can let Corinth eat less, you can eat less. After all, allies will not last forever, let alone allies formed under the premise of gods intervening.

The gods will soon fall asleep.

It is impossible for Thurps to bet all his chips on the gods.

"I heard that you went to the Hades." Aphrodite came in from the door and sat directly opposite Thurps, fully proving how well-informed she was.

The king of Corinth glanced at Aphrodite, and looked at Thurpus in surprise.

Although he knew that Thurpus was a student of Prometheus and had a good relationship with Ares and Aphrodite, King Corinth never thought that Thurpus had a relationship in Hades.

It is normal for the prophet to have a good relationship with the gods, but it is very abnormal if it involves the underworld.

After all, the underworld involves the realm of life and death that most gods cannot touch. If you are not a high-ranking god, it is quite difficult to establish a relationship with the underworld or intervene between life and death.

Not to mention just a human being.

Thurps turned his head and nodded to King Corinth, and gave him a slightly apologetic look.

The king of Corinth stood up knowingly, bid farewell to Aphrodite and left.

"Yes, I'm going to visit Minos." Thurpus nodded, the smile on his face from meeting King Corinth disappeared, and he returned to his usual expressionless look.

Aphrodite was silent for a while, but in the end she just asked, "Hera is in Hades?"

Thurps froze slightly, nodded, "Yes."

"...Why did she go to Hades?" Aphrodite muttered suspiciously.

After all, Zeus has been eating wild food everywhere recently, and took people to Olympus, and Hera has not seen Hera stand up to criticize or send down divine punishment.

This is so abnormal.

Thurps knew that the less gods knew about the dusk, the better, but he just shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

Aphrodite didn't think Thurpus would know any secrets, she stood up immediately after asking, said "Tell Ares for me, I'm back to Olympus" and left with a sleeve .

Thurps squinted his eyes, looking at the place where Aphrodite disappeared, his gaze was heavy.

He opened the map that Hercules had drawn for him, looked at it for a while, then stood up, adjusted his robes, and left the King of Corinth's reception room.

The situation in the Isthmus of Corinth is better than expected.

The two sides of the isthmus are far apart, but there are two simple wooden bridges.

It seems that the load-bearing capacity is not high, and it is quite unsafe.

But it's much better than nothing.

He glanced down at the height of the isthmus, and sent a warrior to call Hercules.

Hercules was so entangled by the boy, and when he heard the words brought by the warrior, he ran out of the main city of Corinth and went to the Isthmus.

"It takes three and a half days to see Megara on the other side, right?" Sepps looked at the map drawn by Hercules. The time is quite detailed. It seems that Hercules has already stepped on Megara. Clicked.

"The normal journey is three and a half days, and the two sides of the isthmus extend a little, all of which are in the territory of Corinth." Hercules said, "but recently there have been more spies from Megara on the opposite side."

"I probably want to see Corinth's bad luck, and take a share by the way." After all, few people would have thought that Sparta would form an alliance with Corinth.

Having said that, Thurps rubbed his chin, and glanced at the warrior wearing the Spartan-style armor beside him.

The target is too obvious, and things like spies are always hard to guard against.

"I was found all the way back and killed several people." Hercules said, "You asked me to come to ask this?"

"Of course not." Thurps shook his head, "I asked you to build a bridge."

With Hercules by his side, there is no reason to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build a bridge on the isthmus. Hercules alone is enough.

Hercules: ...

Can't let me do something more meaningful.

"Get busy at night. I'll send some people out to sweep away the nearby spies." Sepps said and patted Hercules on the shoulder. When he turned his gaze, he saw the cargo ship departing from the Corinth pier, frowning slightly Get up, "Help me and save that cargo ship."

"Okay." Hercules felt that this matter was more meaningful than building a bridge.

Thurps glanced across the isthmus, then turned and walked towards the main city of Corinth.

Crete.

Minos was thrown directly on the city wall of Crete by Hypnos, staring at the warriors guarding the city wall.

The Warriors look a little older.

He stared at Minos in a daze for a long while, and finally showed an expression of seeing a ghost.

Minos rubbed the rambunctious mongoose in his arms expressionlessly, left the warrior behind, jumped off the city wall, and walked towards the temple.

Chapter 77

Hercules easily stopped the cargo ship leaving the port of Corinth.

Thurps glanced at the noisy port, then turned to look for King Corinth.

After all, you are still in someone else's territory, and you have to say hello to the host for any action, and only take action after obtaining consent to show respect.

Unsurprisingly, Thurps easily obtained the consent of the King of Corinth, and by the way told him about Aphrodite's return to Olympus.

The King of Corinth was a little surprised why Thurps would tell him Aphrodite's whereabouts. After all, he was just a human king. Even if Aphrodite came to Corinth, there was no need to tell him whereabouts.

That is a god, and it is already a great gift for human beings to confess that he will come or leave.

But even though he was surprised, King Corinth was quite happy and happy.

Surps couldn't understand this mentality. The difference in beliefs made Surps a little stunned by the sudden enthusiasm and joy of King Corinth.

King Corinth sent the warriors to the pier, looked back at Surpus, and made a gesture of "please".

Thurps restrained his expression in an instant, put on a hypocritical and kind smile and left the palace side by side with King Corinth.

The pier was noisy.

The captain of the cargo ship was terrified by Hercules pulling the boat with his bare hands. The whole person was trembling and stood on the pier by Heracles, with a bitter face that looked like he was about to cry.

"Master Warrior...I'm just a passing merchant." Said the captain, carefully glanced at Hercules.

Hercules glanced at him, let go of the hand holding the captain's collar, and held the ship's cable tightly with the other hand. He looked at the main city of Corinth and said nothing.

The captain looked at Hercules, then at the Corinthian warriors stationed at the docks.

Those warriors had taken his money, and now that he was in trouble, he should step up, but now these people didn't move at all.

This only shows that the person who left them is of a much higher status than these warriors.

The captain wiped his sweat.

The reason why the Corinthian warriors didn't move was naturally because Hercules had a higher status than them.

The friendship between Hercules and the king of Sparta is well known, and he can be regarded as an envoy. Although it is rude to interfere with the normal order of the pier without authorization, everyone knows that Hercules is the leader of the king of Sparta. Those who came, their own king hadn't spoken yet, so these warriors naturally wouldn't do anything to Hercules.

Of course, there is still a little selfishness in it, and that is the hero worship complex.

The warriors of Corinth stood aside and watched Hercules' movements with admiration on their faces.

There are many legends about Hercules. First, he subdued monsters and even broke into the underworld. Later, he followed the new king of Sparta—that is, his prophet companion to fight in Sparta, which also made Hercules famous. .

As long as it is not a hostile relationship, it is not at all
