The Dragon That Devours the World
Chapter 26: ship of theseus
[Turned to pneumonia, took medicine and got better, there should be no problem]
"Pumba pumba..."
One is the strongest hero in ancient Greek mythology, the other is a legendary swordsman in the infinite world, and both of them are rare strong men. A wooden stick and a divine sword collided like iron.
The huge and deep roar made people completely unimaginable. This was a battle between two humans, but it was more like a fight between giants.
The few newcomers on the side were stunned. Even if they don't know how to fight, that kind of fierce offensive can make people realize the sense of power in it.
But the layman watches the excitement, and the expert watches the doorway, but Ah Jiu has solemn eyes. His super dynamic vision allows him to see the details of the battle between the two sides.
The swordsman's offensive is very fierce. He first learned from the martial arts world, but he has fought many times in the medieval fantasy background world, and even went to Monster Hunter World to hunt dragons. Therefore, under the combination of Chinese and Western, it has formed its own unique style of strong sword.
Wearing heavy armor and holding a big sword, he can break through mountains and smash rocks, and fight dragons. The legendary dragon slaying warriors are people like swordsmen.
But the swordsman, who was always powerful, was suppressed at this moment.
It seems that there is no distinction between the two sides, but in fact, Hercules on the opposite side has always been able to do a job with ease. Even after knocking the swordsman back with a stick in the middle, he can still nod to the swordsman with interest, expressing his approval.
"The situation is not good."
Thinking in my heart, the two in the battle have already decided the winner.
As if he was tired of it, the great hero slammed the sword forcefully and sent the swordsman flying. The swordsman hit the ground, and the elf sword in his hand fell to the ground.
He struggled to get up, while the great hero of Thebes confidently looked down at the loser in front of him and said.
"You are a very good fighter, but unfortunately, what you met today was Hercules. Stand up, stranger, you are proud of today's achievements."
Strong and confident, and proud of it.
This is the impression Hercules left on Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu helped his companion up, and then said modestly.
"Hero of Thebes, your strength really surprised us. You have won our respect. I hope we can be companions in the next voyage."
Now was not the time to turn his face directly, Ah Jiu patted the big hero's flattery in a small way. Wearing thousands of clothes and flattering but not wearing clothes, even a great hero is also very useful for flattery.
But at the same time, a voice sounded.
"Orpheus! I finally figured out that question!"
Then, the handsome and handsome young man walked into the cabin excitedly, glanced at the few people strangely, and then excitedly said to the piano player sitting in the cabin.
"Your problem that day was completely a trap! The reason why I couldn't catch up with that turtle was because I could only catch up with it when I caught up with it, and before that, it was definitely impossible for me to catch up with it."
The prince of Athens said confidently to the piano player.
After that day, he didn't give up thinking, but kept thinking about the weird problem of chasing turtles, which finally made him understand.
No matter how you divide the time, as long as you limit the prerequisites to before you catch up with the tortoise, then you will definitely not be able to catch up with the tortoise. Orpheus deliberately induced himself and let himself fall into the trap.
The fiddler wasn't surprised that the teenager saw through the puzzle, and the versatile fiddler strummed his own strings with a strange grin on his face.
That is the wicked smile when you find that you can play tricks on people.
"Really? Maybe the answer is indeed like this. However, Theseus, I just thought of a strange question, and I am deeply troubled, so I really want to ask you, can I?"
The pianist sighed pretentiously, and then asked as if distressed.
The young prince was stunned for a moment. He realized that Orpheus on the opposite side probably had malicious intentions again, but he still couldn't help but be aggressive and said unconvinced.
"What do you want to ask? Just say it, I won't be afraid!"
The smile on the pianist's mouth became brighter.
It was so brilliant that the young prince couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.
"Theseus, I heard that you drove your own boat to Crete alone in order to kill the bull-headed king on Crete, is that right?"
asked the pianist.
Minotaur, the half-man, half-bull king ruled the island of Crete. As the prince of Athens, if he wanted to kill this man-eating tyrant, he had to sail to the island by boat.
Mentioning this matter, Theseus proudly said with his head held high.
"Of course, only I, like Hercules, can do such a thing."
The pianist smiled mysteriously.
"Yes, I heard that it is really a good ship, strong and fast, and Aphrodite, the **** of love, once blessed it, so that the brave can reap their love. But, Oh Theseus, no matter how good a ship is, Will it perish, right?"
The young man froze for a moment, even if it was a ship blessed by the gods, it would still be rotten if it should be rotten, and only the gods can be immortal in the world.
"yes."
"After the ship is rotten, we have to repair it, right?"
"Yes indeed."
Still confused, Theseus nodded blankly.
The pianist plucked the strings, made a crisp sound, and then said unhurriedly.
"So I thought, what if we use planks to repair the ship every time it rots. Day after day, year after year, when all the planks have been repaired and replaced, the ship will still be yours. Is that the ship?"
"Of course... um... this..."
Theseus thought for a while, feeling as if he was suddenly dumbfounded.
Yeah, all the planks have been replaced, so is this the same boat as the original?
After hesitating, he replied.
"I think it should still be that ship?"
The smile on the pianist's lips grew stronger.
"Now let's imagine again, if we reassembled those rotten woods and assembled them into a dilapidated old ship. So, a new ship, an old ship, who are these two ships? Is that your ship?"
Theseus was completely dumbfounded.
yes? no?
It's impossible for me to own two ships at the same time, right?
He lowered his head, scratched his hair, and began to think about it, new ship... old ship...
"The Paradox of the Ship of Theseus..."
Among the newcomers, someone said excitedly.
After a few days of cramming and the help of the old people, the newcomer can understand a little Greek, so he can roughly understand the conversation between the two.
"Is this Theseus?"
"The Ship of Theseus, the famous philosophical paradox, did not expect his master to be right in front of me..."
"Is this Theseus very powerful?"
"Super powerful..."
The newcomers murmured softly, and were hit on the head one by one by the swordsman.
Ah Jiu saw Hercules and Theseus, and knew that it was not a good time to confront him at this moment, so he just exchanged a few polite words and exited the cabin.
It was not until several people left that Theseus asked.
"Who are these people?"
"A few strangers who participated in the adventure, the man named Swordsman is quite powerful."
replied Hercules.
Too many people came to visit Hercules like this, and Theseus didn't pay much attention to it, so he ignored it.
And on the other side...
"You mean, the current Hercules has only accomplished two great achievements?"
After exchanging the inquired information with his companions, Ah Jiu thought about what Bai Wu had inquired about.
According to what Bai Wu said, the current Hercules is less than thirty years old, and among the twelve great achievements, he has only completed the killing of the lion and the hydra.
It’s just that many mythological details don’t match up. For example, in the legend, Hercules was raised by Amphitryon, but according to the information heard, the Hercules here claims to be raised by the goddess of the underworld. Big.
"The snake goddess? Have you heard of it?"
Ah Jiu cautiously did not mention the name of the goddess. In the world of mythology, it is very likely that gods will pay attention to themselves when their names are mentioned. Although he didn't know if the world was like this, he didn't want to take risks.
Several people shook their heads, and even after Ah Jiu tried to ask a few newcomers, no one answered why.
The myth that is different from the legend made Ah Jiu feel a little annoyed.
He thought for a while and asked again.
"Is there anything else worth paying attention to?"
"Yes, the most important thing is the world-swallowing god, the hundred-headed giant Typhon."
Bai Wu quickly replied.
In this world, many myths are roughly similar to the ones that a few people are familiar with, but there is only one very important place that does not match...
That is this inexplicable Typhon.
According to the legend, Typhon should have died long ago.
However, in the information collected by several people, everyone is unanimous, saying that Typhon was promised by the king of gods to be the **** of devouring the world, and one day he will devour the **** of the world. It's just that Zeus, the **** king, tricked him into the abyss, and he couldn't get out of it. Including the snake goddess, who is also the daughter of Typhon.
This place, which was obviously inconsistent with the legend, attracted Bai Wu's attention.
"Could it be another magical world change?"
Greedy Wolf complained.
According to various legends, many worlds will be generated in the infinite world. But many worlds are often magically modified versions, that is, there are subtle differences from legends in some places.
For example, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Lu Bu are actually huge robots, and the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms drove Gundam Mech Wars in the world of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Another example is the world view of the Red Chamber, where Lin Daiyu violently beats the demon King Beijing Jing in the form of a fairy. Another example is the magically altered world where all kinds of ghosts and aliens scurry around, and there are countless.
I have heard a lot in the world of the main gods, and I have experienced it myself. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com dare not be careless about the magic reform world.
"It's hard to say, maybe it can..."
Ah Jiu pondered, as if he had some plans in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
As a team leader, not everything has to be said to teammates.
"Okay, rest."
Before taking a break, Ah Jiu took a long look at the ship, the ship of adventure that countless heroes longed to set foot on. In the next journey, there may be many opportunities worth grasping.
We will survive this punishment mission alive.
Ah Jiu thought silently in her heart.
In the corner of the line of sight, the invisible mission logo always exists.
Lord God, oh no, those words are like indifferent spectators, watching a few people move forward in this world at a loss.
