I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

"How does it taste? Will it be hot?"

Li Xiang looked at Ma Xiu, her eyes of the sea of ​​stars were full of tension.

"Very tasty."

Mash showed a sweet smile, and the food in her mouth was like a delicacy in the sky, but it was not as good as Lixiang's undisguised intentions now, and she felt very happy.

"Well... that's good, come on, have another bite."

Li Xiang, who was originally nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief, showing a relieved expression.

"Well... Actually, seniors don't need to feed me, I can eat by myself, and it's not like I can't even move my body..."

Mash ate mouthfuls, and Lixiang fed mouthfuls. The girl who always felt a little embarrassed couldn't help dissuading Lixiang, but before she finished speaking, the smile on Lixiang's face froze obviously. one time.

Matthew reacted quickly, and quickly shut up.

"nothing."

Putting the spoon into the bowl, Li Xiang raised his hand and gently pulled the girl's pink hair from her forehead behind her ears, and said softly, "Even if you really can't move, I will feed you the same."

"........."

The eyes of the two met silently, and unconsciously, Matthew's cheeks slowly turned red.

"Fu?"

"Okay! I'll eat it myself—"

Mashup blushed, awakened by Fufu's call, she quickly snatched the bowl from Lixiang's hand, then turned around and drank the porridge by herself.

"..."

Li Xiang blinked, he hadn't realized what happened yet.

"Fu... Chirp."

Only the little white beast jumped onto Lixiang's arm and onto his shoulder.

"Fufu—? Ah——"

Lixiang was taken aback for a moment, and then Fufu slapped her face.

"Fu, Fu."

Fufu frowned in a humane way, and barked.

…………

Not long after, Lixiang and the others came to the nearest city-state.

There are not many people here, only a few thousand people, but the trade is still developed, here is close to the coast, there are a few seaports here and there, and the wharves are scattered here.

Although the location here is remote, there are shipping links here. This is the city-state closest to the place where the mother god protects. Although there are no large-scale trades that often come and go, the fruits produced here are sweet and delicious, and the beef and mutton here are delicious. How to say, there is still some development.

After entering the city, Lixiang and the others felt that it was a novelty, but he still inquired about it first, and heard that there are shops here that specialize in the sale of resold meat.

Although he had never heard of such a thing before, Lixiang still hadn't forgotten that currency is always an indispensable thing in normal social communication, so before he settled on a place to live, he went there first. .

"Hi, may I ask if this is a butcher shop?"

Although he was in a hurry, Li Xiang still didn't forget the politeness he should have. After politely knocking on the opened door, he looked at the man sitting inside.

"What are you doing? Who is it?"

The man glanced at the boy he had never seen before, and snorted.

"So what if this is a butcher's shop, what are you doing here, you little boy, you don't have money to buy any meat!"

It's just past lunch time. It is estimated that many people came to him to sell meat before. The whole morning's work has worn out all his remaining patience. Now he just wants to quickly scold this kid who doesn't know which family. Go and take a good rest.

Li Xiang frowned, his temper is really bad...

Forget it, I'm too lazy to get to know him as much as I can, so hurry up and leave after changing the meat...

"I'm... to sell meat."

He thought about how to stop his words, and then said: "It's the meat on the outside."

"Oh, you are the son of a hunter, right?"

The man inside straightened up, with a slightly better attitude, and he slowly walked in front of Lixiang, a breeze blew by, and Lixiang smelled a strong smell of inferior wine on his body.

"Meat from outside, this way, the price for meat within one day is one price, the price for meat within two days is one price, and the meat after three days will not be charged... What kind of meat is that?"

It was fine if the man didn't speak to him, but when he spoke, the smell of fermented low-quality wine rushed towards Li Xiang's face.

"Well... it's snake meat, freshness is guaranteed."

Li Xiang frowned, he was struggling with the smell of bad wine, although he had never drank wine here, he still knew what good wine smells like, and what bad wine smells like.

"Ah... it's snake meat, that's okay. The gentlemen in Arcadia always like to eat something different, so I'll take it no matter how much... What about the meat?"

The man obviously took Lixiang's frown as a feeling that his snake meat might not be easy to sell, and said immediately.

Like the center of those city-states, the dignitaries always have a little bit of taste. If it is fresh meat of good quality, the city-states brought to Arcadia can sell it at a good price.

Li Xiang paused, then swung his arm, and a piece almost the size of half a pig landed on the chopping board in front of the door.

"Well, here it is."

"you--"

The man's eyes widened immediately, his eyes were full of disbelief, he instinctively wanted to curse, what the hell is this snake meat, where is such a big snake meat in the world!

and many more……

But because he suddenly thought of something, he still took a knife and cut the huge piece of meat without thinking. Seeing the rows of neatly arranged bones inside, he really believed it.

"How about it, can it be sold?"

Li Xiang looked at the silent man and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, yes, of course, this kind of big snake meat will definitely sell for several times the price when it is transported to Arcadia, but I still have a question, where did you catch this big snake?"

"In the mountains, I hunted."

Li Xiang didn't think much, and said very naturally.

"Are you from the mountains too?"

"Yes."

Oh, it's Pi Liwen's hero, that's all right.

"This meat seems to be very fresh. I can't cheat you with such a big piece. It's just the price..."

"There's not enough money... Forget it, the meat will only spoil if you take it away, so it's better to give it to you. You only need to pay what you can afford."

The man froze for a moment, and he took a serious look at Lixiang, as if he wanted to get to know him again: "Wait, are you serious?"

"Really."

"Didn't lie to me?"

"I did not lie to you."

Staring at Lixiang for a few seconds, the man sighed and said, "You are so weird, how can there be such a deal? I only have so much money, you take it first, I will go to Arkady tonight Ya’s boat, if you make money later, I’ll give you the remaining [-]% of the money.”

Li Xiang accepted the money bag, and after staying with the teacher for a long time, he really didn't have much concept of money, he just thought that he could earn so much by selling such a piece of meat, if he dragged the whole snake...

"In this case...by the way, I'm asking you something. Do you know...where has there been a plague recently?"

Lixiang looked at the man and said.

"Plague? Why are you asking about this?"

The man's expression froze, and then he warned him seriously:

"I can remind you, the kid who came out of the mountains and didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth:

Don't think that you can do whatever you want if you learn from a sage;

Don't think that you can run wild if you become a hero;

You and I as sons of man naturally exist at the end;

Above our heads is the supreme god!

The plague represents the authority of the gods;

That suffering is naturally the incarnation of the moon god!

Don't try to act recklessly;

Put away your haughty heart;

Because if you offend the gods, you will eventually turn into a dry bone! "

Chapter 35: God's Guidance

The ancient heroic epic "Theiasius" once recorded the heroic deeds of the great hero Theiasius, a very important part of which is that the great hero Theiasius ran around the world in order to save his best friend Matthews , looking for the god of medicine Asclepius to find a way to save him.

In the first chapter of his epic, it was described that Theasius, who had just come out of the mountain, was brave and fearless, and could shoot a leopard as big as three people, a lion as big as five people, and a snake as big as a hill with one arrow.

He pulled the monster's meat to the market to sell, and asked others about the plague, so he got a warning from a butcher. This is the famous warning poem.

But Li Xiang has no idea what kind of magical changes he has experienced in the future. Although he was warned by the man who smelled of alcohol, he still got his wish. There is a plague near Arcadia. Spread the news.

That city-state is now in panic. Although there is no news that the plague has spread to the city, but at the speed of the plague, it is believed that Arcadia is doomed.

"Ugh... so, our next stop is Arcadia, right?"

Matthew looked at Lixiang and said.

"Well, that's probably the case. There seems to be a plague near Arcadia. According to the teacher... Asclepius is likely to be near the Arcadia area."

Li Xiang glanced at the parchment given to him by Chiron. It not only contained the homework and guidelines assigned to him by the teacher, but also a standard map of Greece on the back.

It is always better to have a map than to have none, although this map can only give them directions and areas on the most basic level.

This can't be helped, after all, the doctors are not always by their side, and they always have to make a call every few days, which is too troublesome. If you can't even recognize the direction, wait until the doctor contacts Lixiang and the others next time. Lixiang and the others didn't know that they had drifted to that island.

"By the way, what did the teacher write on senior's parchment...?"

Matthew tilted her head, her hair was slightly slanted, revealing her right eye, which was usually covered, showing a little curiosity.

The young man was taken aback, then sighed, and said: "To become a hero, what do you need to do, what qualities should you have... and so on, yes, there are still a few million dots of homework..."

Yes, only a few billion points...

Lixiang now only wants to think of the map on the reverse side of the parchment as the front, and there is nothing on the reverse side...

Just kidding, how many of these homework can he finish? !

Forget it, now everything is Matthew's body that matters. He has nothing to ask for except to find Asclepius and cure Matthew as soon as possible. As for the teacher's homework...

Forget it, anyway, the teacher didn't say when to hand it in, so let's just pretend that this thing doesn't exist... But why... why did I vaguely have a very bad premonition?

"Then, what about Matthew? What is written on Matthew's parchment? Could it be homework too?"

Lixiang looked at Matthew and couldn't help asking.

"Uh... no, it's something else, and..."

Matthew paused for a moment, then calmly found a few small pieces of bright yellow metal from the few luggage bags.

"Uh, when is this..."

Lixiang couldn't help asking when she saw that Matthew suddenly took out three pieces of precious metal as thick as a finger from the luggage she was carrying.

"This is what the teacher wrapped in my parchment for me."

Matthew said: "The teacher must know that we may encounter a lot of trouble outside...so he left us a little help."

"Well... this is it."

Li Xiang nodded, anyway, although he only got along with him for a year, the teacher will always be one of the people he respects the most.
