I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

"You are……"

Mash was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the girl in front of her eyes gradually changed, "Senior, that girl has a high-strength true ether reaction...she seems to be a god."

"...God?"

Li Xiang read a sentence silently, and the girl beside her had subconsciously blocked her body in front of Li Xiang.

Matthew's words made Lixiang a little wary, but it was only limited to being prepared in his heart.

This year has passed, and Lixiang and the others have changed a lot in their response to the abnormal reaction that suddenly appeared in front of them.

If they had met gods before, they wouldn’t have panicked and didn’t know what to do, but now they have lived with Theia day and night, and lived under the guidance of Teacher Chiron for a whole year. The sensitivity of this kind of existence is not so high.

Although I will be a little nervous, but it is much better than the original appearance that I don't understand anything and have never seen anything.

"who are you?"

Lixiang raised her head, watched the girl with blond hair and white skirt fall from the air, narrowed her eyes slightly, her star-sea pupils shrank a circle, and calmed down silently.

The girl looked at Lixiang with great interest. Could this young man who looked very young be the soul of an ancient god growing in his body?

It's amazing, and his identity in the world is not the "god" of the past, but a "hero" standing on a high place from the perspective of a mortal.

What are his real thoughts?Is he going to just use the title of "hero" as a cover to become a god again, or...

Such thoughts flashed through the girl's mind in an instant. She looked at Lixiang, and then turned her head to look at Mash. From the eyes of the pink-haired girl, she saw innocence.

A pure and innocent child?It's really interesting.

"The concubine is Athena, the goddess of Olympus."

The girl in a white dress walked up to Lixiang, her pale gold eyes met Lixiang's eyes.

If Lixiang hadn't met Theia face to face before, maybe now she would unconsciously look away, but since experiencing the baptism of the goddess whose beauty has completely surpassed the limit of human cognition, facing the goddess Looking straight ahead, Li Xiang just narrowed his eyes slightly to adapt to the suddenly strong light.

"So...then what do you want to come to me? Dear Athena."

Li Xiang exhaled, there was no fear in his eyes, only the politeness and respect he thought he should maintain.

"I come from Olympus, and I will make you invincible, look down on everyone, and bring you splendor and glory."

The blond and long-haired goddess looked straight at Lixiang, which surprised her. From the boy's eyes, she had already observed some familiar eyes, which were the eyes that only a small number of heroes would show.

"Really? I'm sorry, I don't need it."

"Um... eh?"

The same goes for Masi, he can also change his Noble Phantasm color card when he is extremely angry

Chapter 37: Plague Village

"What did you say?"

The goddess of wisdom and victory in Olympus, Athena couldn't help asking.

"I don't need it, that is to say, I refuse."

Li Xiang was very sure about his answer. He looked at the beautiful girl and said, "I'm sorry to make you waste your time, respected Athena, but I don't need any glory, glory, so if you are okay Let’s go back, I feel from the map that Mount Olympus is quite far away, and it’s not convenient to come and go.”

"...No, wait, are you really going to give up those glory and radiance?"

She was rejected as soon as she came up. The goddess who had never encountered such a situation was inevitably a little excited. She looked into Lixiang's eyes, trying to see some hypocritical rejection in his eyes.

It's a pity that all she saw was tact and prevarication. Maybe there was a little embarrassment under this generosity, but there was no feeling of playing hard to get.

Looking directly into the boy's eyes again, the goddess who claimed to be able to read people's hearts at a glance felt a little helpless and frustrated for the first time.

"Of course, yes."

Li Xiang repeated his intention word by word, and then moved away from Athena.

To be honest, maybe when he just became a student of Teacher Chiron, he really wanted to take part in a thrilling adventure like Heracles, Achilles and other famous heroes, and defeat the dragon , sitting on treasure or something—

After all, this is the nature of men. It seems that no man can refuse the transformation tool, the belt, the Gang Damu, and of course Lixiang. Since he must not be able to do the first three things, then the next best thing is to become a A famous big hero sounds like a very good thing too.

——It wasn't until after he had experienced the teacher's practice that year, when he saw Matthew collapsed in the cave, that the boy suddenly realized that these things were worthless compared to Matthew.

- So what if you've had an adventure?Isn't it like being at a loss in front of the sleepy girl like an ant on a hot pot.

——So what if you defeat the dragon?Defeating a powerful monster does not mean that you can also defeat illness.

——Sitting on mountains of gold and silver, what is the use of thousands of treasures?You spend money like rain, but you can't save her even a single minute.

Seeing tragedy happen and being unable to do anything about it is the most painful thing.

Although the matter has not yet reached the point of no return, it is because I don't want it to be irreversible, so I have to desperately catch up.

"Compared to gaining glory, radiance, etc., I have more important things to do now."

Lixiang said while pulling Mashu to turn around, took a last look at Athena and said, "Thank you for your kindness, respected Athena, but I don't need the things you promised, so goodbye. "

Athena: "..."

In this way, Lixiang and Matthew left one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, the goddess of wisdom and victory, and continued on their way.

She even directly rejected her promise, making this self-respecting goddess suddenly feel that this might be the most humiliating time in her history.

She is a goddess!Since ancient times, few mortals have dared to talk to her like this!

The goddess of wisdom and victory looked at the two who had no intention of turning back at all, and felt the frustration in her heart grow stronger.

"whispering sound."

Athena felt that there was no way to end this hastily, frowned and disappeared in midair. However, because someone had reminded them in advance, she had no way to directly interfere with them, so she could only wait and see for the time being.

Watching the two people walking away, Athena spread her wings from behind and turned into a palm-sized owl, flapping its pure white wings, and followed.

Theias...Theias...are you...

…………

After a day's trek, Lixiang and Matthew finally came to the village they had inquired about before.

As soon as they stepped into the land here, Lixiang and Matthew felt a completely different feeling from when they were in Mount Pelion.

The land here is lifeless. Although there are many trees around, the trees here are all standing there sickly, as if they lack the nourishment of water. Just on the branches.

Even if they just stopped on this land, Li Xiang and Matthew didn't observe any living things on the ground, and there was no life in this weird soil.

"This is probably the village where the gods sent the plague down in the rumors, right?"

Matthew looked at the lifeless land here and said.

Saying that, the girl was about to go deeper, but was stopped by Lixiang.

"Matthew, wait."

Lixiang grabbed the girl, then raised his hand and carved a rune on Matthew's forehead that could temporarily ward off the disease.

"May the mother of the earth take care of you...May all the pain have nothing to do with you..."

Tachika earnestly carved the rune on the girl's forehead while whispering something, while drawing the rune, he chanted the mantra to praise the gods. This method was given to him by Cu Chulainn, and he I didn't say whether this method is useful or not, just that it might be useful, but no matter what, I still have to try it.

Maybe it's just a simple psychological sustenance.

"Okay, let's go."

Lixiang took Matthew's hand, and slowly penetrated into this withered and yellow land, as if everything was withered.

Just like the news he had inquired before, the land here is lifeless, and the plants and animals all look sick... No, since he entered this land, Lixiang has not What animals have you seen outside?

The birds in the distance are circling in the mountains and forests, but they are unwilling to fly into this land, as if there is something in this land that makes their instincts fear.

"Gu... gu..."

Li Xiang was taken aback for a moment, he seemed to hear the sound of some animal chirping, but when he turned his head, there was still nothing.

Misheard?

The boy scratched his head in confusion, and continued on his way with Mash.

A white feather fell from the sky.

This land that was said to be cursed by the gods was not very big. It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the center of this place, a village that didn't look that big.

The houses are well-organized, surrounded by farmland, and there is a river passing through here not far away. If it is not because this is a village that was punished by the gods in the legend, it is not an exaggeration to call it a paradise in such an environment.

However, there is still not much vitality here, and as he keeps approaching the village, not only Lixiang, but even Matthew keenly senses the lifelessness here. Although a few figures can be vaguely seen walking by like ghosts, but It also feels like the walking dead.

"This is the village..."

"Well, let's go."

Lixiang and Matthew looked at each other, and then slowly walked into the village without fences and walls.

From Li Xiang and Mash taught by Chiron's men, it can be seen that there were no wild animals in the undefended surroundings, and perhaps robbers rarely came here, so there were no fences and fences to stop them.

After crossing the entrance of the village, the boy and the girl walked through the houses. Some people still walked out of these houses, but they only came out mechanically like walking dead. Their cloudy eyes seemed to be unable to move. Stimulated by the light again, the chaotic eyes are the windows of the soul, and the eyes are like a pool of stagnant water, and their eyes are dim.

"You... hello... Excuse me..."

Matthew stopped the man who was slowly walking out of the house and walking along the path, but the man just looked back at the two of them symbolically, without looking or expressing, just sweeping across like a machine, and then he Just turn around and keep walking.

"Uh...Senior, what should I do?"

Matthew felt a little embarrassed, she couldn't help turning her eyes to Lixiang beside her.

"Go ahead and ask the others."

Lixiang said, and continued to move forward, and they met another man.

That man looked a little more energetic than the one just now, but his energy was really limited.

"Are you... are you... outside, people from outside?"

The man watched Li Xiang and Ma Xiu stop him, and then his eyes slowly opened wide, revealing a bit of human surprise.

"Yes, we did come from outside."

The man in front of her was at least able to communicate with the man who looked at them just now and walked away on his own. Ma Xiu felt a little sober, she glanced at Li Xiang, it seems that the plague here also has similar severity the difference.

"Excuse me... are you suffering from a plague here?"

"Yes... yes, you... you know? Then what are you doing here...?! Go! Go! Go back and run for your life while you are just here!"

The man was taken aback, he was a bit incredulous about the reaction of Lixiang and Matthew, and then pushed them nervously, Lixiang held his shoulders, stopped his pushing, and at the same time Imprint Rune's power on his body along the extension of his arm.

"Wait, what happened on your side? That's why there is a plague?"

Lixiang asked calmly. Seeing the behavior of this man and the previous one, he had more or less guessed that Asclepius might not be here. In this case, let's see what happened here first. Let's talk about something.

"God's punishment... This is God's punishment, it's the gods, it's the punishment given to us by the moon god Artemis! This is our retribution!"

Rune's power temporarily reduced the man's aura of disease, he grabbed Lixiang's arm and shouted excitedly.

Chapter 38: Gods and Trees

"God's punishment? You mean this is the punishment from the moon god, Artemis?"

Li Xiang slowly frowned, and couldn't help but ask back, in his long-awaited memory, Artemis is a brain in love, how could she do such a thing when she had nothing to do?

"Yes! Of course it is God's punishment! Besides the gods of Olympus who can punish us, who else would bring us such a disaster?!"

The man was still very excited, but no matter how Lixiang heard this, he felt something was wrong.

No... Unless the people in this village brought that... Muppet bear to stew, Li Xiang really couldn't guess why Artemis would send such a serious plague around this village.

The moon god Artemis, she is the second generation moon god after Selene, one of the twelve main gods of Mount Olympus, and also possesses the power of plague.
