The Dragon That Devours the World
Chapter 24: punishment task
"Huh? How could I possibly fail to outrun a turtle? You must be kidding me, piano player?"
Theseus asked in confusion.
The mysterious violinist smiled, plucked the harp in his hand, and made a crisp sound. Then, he spoke again.
"Theseus, you might as well imagine. If there is such a turtle, it can run a fifth of a cubit per second (a cubit 45 cm), and it is two hundred cubits (about 90 meters) in front of you at the moment, then How long will it take you to catch up with it?"
Theseus thought for a while and answered confidently.
"It only takes me five seconds to catch up with that turtle."
The pianist answered again.
"Then Theseus, just as you ran for five seconds, this slow and sluggish tortoise also advanced an elbow, so five seconds later, you did not catch up with the tortoise."
Theseus replied unconvinced.
"Then I'll catch up with it for another forty-second."
"But Theseus, just as you were chasing one-fortieth of a second, the tortoise went another two hundredth of a cubit, and you still haven't caught up with the tortoise."
Theseus was still not convinced, and asked again.
"Then what if I chase it again?"
"Theseus, you can chase again, but the tortoise is also running. Every time you chase a little bit, the tortoise is also running a little bit. Therefore, you will never catch up with this tortoise."
The pianist looked at Theseus, spread his hands, and showed a mysterious smile.
Theseus was dumbfounded.
He was from Athens, a place with many famous philosophers. Faced with this question, which seemed outrageous at first glance, he was stunned, but he did not hesitate, but rather took it seriously.
"Turtle...I...wait, why can't I catch up?"
Holding his head, he silently counted, DiDi cooing how many seconds he ran and how much the tortoise advanced, and finally he kept repeating various numbers in his mouth.
Hercules, on the other hand, did not have such a good temper, and he said loudly to the piano player.
"Hey! Don't you feel ashamed to trick a young man like that?"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
The piano player couldn't help laughing, and then he said.
"It's not that I coaxed him, it's just that he got into the labyrinth and couldn't get out. The young hero who could escape the labyrinth of Crete couldn't escape the labyrinth he set for himself."
After speaking, he put away the smile on his face and bowed solemnly.
"Orpheus of Thrace, a lyre player, but he knows he will not lose to others in battle, so that he can participate in the adventure of the Golden Fleece."
Seeing that the piano player was no longer frivolous, the hero's frown stretched slightly and responded.
"Hercules."
The harpist didn't make a good impression on the hero, so he didn't speak politely.
However, the pianist was clearly aware of his reputation and was surprised.
"Oh, so it's the hero of Thebes? It's amazing, it's an honor to meet you."
In the face of the fiddler's gesture, the hero nodded, and he knew it.
The merchant next to him asked, is this wild boar still for sale? How much does it cost? The big hero unceremoniously waved his hand and did not sell it.
He had a good impression of Theseus, the little fanboy, so he decided to roast the wild boar and have a dinner together. As soon as he woke up, he was still obsessed with Theseus, who was still obsessed with whether he could outrun the tortoise, and invited him to have a dinner with a few people.
The adventure of the Golden Fleece attracted many Greek heroes, so the qualification to board the ship became the object of competition, and many warriors scrambled for places for this, which was also a preview before the adventure.
This adventure only requires the best heroes to deal with the most dangerous difficulties, and it is normal for ordinary people to fail to board the ship.
Therefore, it is not possible to get on the ship immediately. There is still a period of time before the Golden Fleece adventure. During this time, it is better to get acquainted with the heroes of all Greece here.
During the dinner, Hercules also introduced his companion, Xu Las, to his little fanboy, a young and handsome boy. In terms of age, this teenager is younger than Theseus.
During the dinner, Orpheus showed his amazing piano skills. When he plucked the strings, it was crisp and melodious, and he sang for joy, making the party more cheerful.
Hercules raised his glass and asked.
"Orpheus, your harp looks fine."
The pianist replied with a smile.
"This is a day when I played music in the field and attracted the Apollo **** who came to play. It was a gift from the gods to me."
Although Zeus ordered the gods not to visit the world at will, it is not strict, and occasionally encountering gods traveling in the wild is not surprising in this world.
Several people continued to chat, talking about what they had seen and heard. When intrigued, the pianist will have a test with Theseus. It has to be said that Orpheus's harpist dress is really easy to confuse people. He is far less fragile than he seems, on the contrary, unexpectedly powerful.
With his rich experience, Orpheus even slightly outperformed some Theseus, which made Theseus, who aspired to become the second of Hercules, very frustrated. better.
And on Hercules' shoulders, the little snake was sound asleep.
The so-called Golden Fleece Adventure? In its eyes, it is nothing. If it grabs the thunder and lightning in the hands of Zeus and has a big thunder and lightning adventure, it will be interested.
But just as he thought about it, its eyelids suddenly opened, and the erect child hole stared not far away.
Um?
It seems interesting.
…
The wharf was bustling with Greek warrior heroes, all eager to fight for the Golden Fleece. But there was an open space, everyone subconsciously avoided it, and finally formed a circular open space with no one.
Then in an instant, a bunch of people in different clothes appeared in the open space. Some wear casual clothes, some wear medieval plate armor, and some wear mage clothes altogether.
Among these people, several men and women in casual clothes and modern clothes stared blankly, and then looked at the people with strange styles and the surrounding environment.
"Why am I here?"
"Hey man, is this place?"
"Fuck, do you know Lao Tzu..."
A few people either asked questions or remained silent, and some people came up and scolded directly.
The man dressed as a knight in medieval plate armor did not hesitate to pull out the long sword from his waist and slapped it with the crest of the sword as a ruler. Amid the screams of a woman, the man dressed as a knight slapped the scolding young man to the ground with a long sword.
The thick and sturdy long sword calms people down at once, this is definitely not a prop.
But the strange thing is that no matter how the man taught or how the woman screamed, the people coming and going around didn't seem to see it, and they avoided this invisible circular space with a calm demeanor.
"Help! Killed!"
Some people took advantage of the unpreparedness of those few people and wanted to escape into the crowd, but found themselves hitting the transparent air wall directly.
Until then, the few people wearing modern urban clothes realized that they were definitely not dealing with kidnappers or mental illnesses.
"Okay, swordsman, just teach the newcomer a lesson. Bai Wu, there is still 10 minutes of protection time, let's introduce the newcomer."
A man with a silent expression said, he scolded the man dressed as a knight, and then said to the woman dressed as a mage beside him.
Install the latest version. 】
The woman nodded and started a routine introduction to the newcomers.
"Everyone, as you can see, this is not the 21st century..."
Not to mention how the woman introduced the frightened newcomers, the swordsman withdrew the long sword from his waist and said to the leading man.
"Lao Jiu, this time is a punishment mission, can you find out what kind of world this is?"
The man nodded.
"If the reward points I just spent are correct, this is the world of Greek mythology, but I don't know which version of Greek mythology it is. It's okay if it's a movie or TV series, like "Wrath of the Gods", "Tello" Yin", the power system shouldn't be too strong, but if it's some kind of magically modified Greek myth... that's difficult."
The man pondered, and finally shook his head.
During the last mission, the team deliberately used the props in the Harry Potter world to create a mission conflict bug and forcibly stopped for 60 years during the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. The entire team fought two Holy Grail Wars and grabbed two cups.
Originally, I had a fluke mentality, but as soon as the mission was over, the Lord God unceremoniously gave him a punishment mission.
Before entering the world of punishment tasks, several people didn't even know which world it was, and they just found out with reward points. This is the Greek mythology worldview.
"Greeding wolf, hurry up and make a disguise for the newcomers. After the protection time is over, the ghost knows what will happen to our gang of fancy clothes."
Another shirtless man nodded, and a pile of ancient Greek-style clothing quickly formed in his hands. He is a martial artist himself, but he has learned a lot from Hassan Baimao in the last world, and has gained a lot of insights into fast changing clothes.
Regarding the public change of clothes, the newcomers were a little awkward for a while, so the man waved his hand and forcibly changed the clothes for the newcomers in the sudden fog.
Not long after, several people changed their clothes. Although they were not used to wearing them, it was fine at first glance.
At this moment, Ah Jiu's eyes moved, including the newcomer, everyone was stunned for a while, as if they were looking at something.
"Mission objective...kill Hercules?"
The swordsman read word by word, his expression a bit ugly.
[ps: For some reason, the q group exploded again, this is already the third group, the new group number is 219047455]
