I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

"Hmm... just a normal wound... no... wait."

Hearing someone calling his name, Asclepius couldn't help frowning and walked through the gap Atalanta had vacated for him. He glanced at Lixiang's palm like a sleeping owl, deeply He frowned deeply and said.

He just glanced at it casually at first, but he soon discovered that the owl's injury didn't seem to be simple.

"The wound has stopped bleeding, but the wound seems to contain something that is destroying its body... Could it be... really interesting."

Asclepius hadn't fully approached him before, and he had already analyzed its injuries in great detail.

"Doctor, can you analyze the wound on its body?"

Li Xiang glanced at the light curtain beside him and said.

"Hmm... let me see..."

Doctor Roman pondered, "The scan results are basically consistent with Asclepius' analysis. The wound doesn't look like a physical puncture wound. This owl seems to have a strong vitality, and part of its wing was pierced. It can guarantee the hemostasis of the wound, and there is a relatively strong magical reaction."

"The reaction of true ether (magic power) is not the strangest. After all, this is Greece in 1000 BC. The environment and climate are very different from modern times... Even if it is not full of fantasy species, ordinary creatures have magic power reactions It’s also a normal thing.”

"Fu..."

Doctor Roman paused, wondering if he suddenly remembered something.

"...Well, let me take a closer look first."

"Fu..."

Asclepius didn't pay too much attention to Dr. Roman's test results. His enemy was the disease itself, not other people who treated the same disease as him.

Other people's medical skills will only arouse his interest, maybe in his spare time, when he feels bored, he will learn to play, or if he thinks it is a good method, it is very normal to use it for his own use and improve it. Can't make him feel jealous.

"Fu..."

His hand was about to take over the intelligent creature in Lixiang's hand, when the whisper of a small white beast came to his ear again.

"Goo...!"

Suddenly, the white owl lying in Lixiang's hand suddenly spread its wings, and at the same time it let out a low and hair-raising cry, the sharp claws drew a bloody gash on Asclepius' extended hand .

"Asclepius!"

Li Xiang was taken aback, and quickly waved his hand to try to grab the sharp claws of the white owl in his hand. The snow-white owl didn't care about the white-haired young man who hurriedly stopped, but instead bit the young man's finger. Pierced by the sharp beak, piercing into the flesh, the blood immediately slid down the hooked beak and dripped into the owl's mouth, staining the pure white feathers in front of it red.

"Ugh...!"

Li Xiang frowned, even though he was no longer the ordinary modern boy who had gone through the necessary trials to become a hero, the feeling of pain could not be eradicated from him either.

Regardless of size.

Because of the stimulation of pain, Li Xiang subconsciously wanted to throw the owl in his hand, but when he wanted to swing his arm, his sensibility and rationality rose together.

"........."

The boy didn't throw the owl away, but slowly retracted his fingers after a few seconds of calm.

"Ex...Senior...?"

Matthew was taken aback by the sudden attack of the pure white owl, especially when she saw that Lixiang's fingers were stained red with blood, her mind went blank. Even if she wanted to help, she couldn't Before there's time to react, it happens and ends quickly.

The girl froze for a moment, as if she was still in shock.

"Fu..."

The little white beast noticed something, squinted its eyes and sat on Matthew's shoulder and shouted, maybe it was comforting Matthew.

"........."

Li Xiang was silent, he raised his fingertips lightly, and brushed the injured owl wing on his left hand with his slender fingers filled with fresh blood, the blue light flashed slightly, and the completely necrotic body seemed to be smeared It was reinfused with life.

The stagnant blood can be circulated, and the necrotic flesh can regenerate—although this process is very slow, it is indeed going on again.

In other words, it is possible to regain health.

During this extremely short period, the snow-white owl did not struggle, and it did not feel afraid of humans. Instead, it showed anger towards humans from the very beginning. The anger in the bright eyes gradually subsided, and turned into human doubts and incomprehension.

But there is no doubt that it did not resist until the end of Lixiang's treatment for it, and its anger that could not be suppressed at the beginning also subsided, until finally its own rationality regained the upper hand in its thinking. The anger also gradually and completely disappeared.

Hercules and the others watched from the sidelines, while Asclepius took out the linen strips used to bandage the wound from his personal medicine box expressionlessly, and bandaged the wound on the back of his hand for himself.

"Hmm..."

Atalanta glanced at him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help laughing, but he held back.

There is no way to do this. Asclepius is indeed specialized in medical skills, but this does not mean that he can have a family with small animals. At most, he can be with snakes...cough cough.

"........."

Asclepius was silent and said nothing about it.

Maybe you will feel a little pity. After all, this is a relatively rare case. Although I have some knowledge, it is indeed regrettable that I did not treat it personally.

"Gu..."

The white owl stared straight into Lixiang's eyes, and Lixiang took advantage of the situation to keep his sight line at the same level as his own.

…………

The pain on his body still couldn't be relieved, even though the wounds were gradually healing, even the parts hit by the Annihilating Light seemed to start to grow again.

But along with this ray of light, there is also a strong fear that is deeply imprinted in my heart. This is different from the unknown fear that human beings have about ignorance. It is that they can clearly know her existence, but they already feel as if they are facing the sea of ​​stars. The general fear of sprawl.

As soon as I think of this, my body can't help but start to tremble.

This does not simply belong to the sense of fear caused by the huge difference in strength, but it is born to feel the power and fear of that mighty power. Even if it is a god, even if it is also called a god by human beings, it is so small—— ——

And at this moment, just when she thought she was going to die here, the human who caused all her current predicaments suddenly appeared in front of him.

…………

"Gu..."

The owl in Lixiang's hand hooted, and then flapped its wings and flew up, but this still seemed too much for it.

The pair of wings didn't flutter a few times, and it couldn't fly. It could only land on Lixiang's shoulder in embarrassment, and barely grabbed the boy's shoulder with its claws to prevent it from falling down without paying attention.

"Huh? Won't you fly away?"

Li Xiang looked at the owl sitting on her shoulder, and asked subconsciously.

"Goo."

The owl shook its head, then flapped its wings again, indicating that it could not fly yet.

"then you……"

Those big round eyes look almost indistinguishable from human eyes, and even Lixiang can see the emotional changes of this wise bird from those eyes, as if it can understand people's speech, the boy can't help asking .

"Cuckoo..."

The white owl patted him with its uninjured wings, but its eyes were narrowed, and a low voice sounded like a warning.

Li Xiang seems to understand: the meaning probably means that it will not leave until it fully recovers... But it is still a bit fierce, as if it will bite itself at any time, why so fierce... I didn't make you into a Such.

He didn't say that, otherwise he might be bitten by this strange owl.

"Um... so, you have added new members?"

Doctor Roman couldn't help asking.

"Probably so. After all, whether recruiting Servants or retaining small animals seems to be such a process."

Lixiang didn't pay much attention to the disgust of the owl on his body towards him, and he didn't care about the fact that he was bitten. Hercules and the others didn't know whether he was bitten or not.

"Ah, there is a new friend between us, senior."

After the fright just now, Matthew also regained her composure. She couldn't help but glanced at the little white beast on her shoulder, and said to Lixiang with a smile.

"Well, of course."

"Then... what name should we give it?"

"Goo (don't do unnecessary things)...!"

"Fu..."

The little white beast took a meaningful look at the owl on Lixiang's shoulder.

"Goo?!"

The owl was startled.

…………

Adopting a small animal was just a small episode, but Lixiang and the others moved very fast, and the outline of a city-state had already appeared at the end of the road in the distance.

Iolkos, here we come.

…………

…………

Chapter 71: Wanna Be King

Iolkos is one of the kingdoms closest to Athens, the rich city of Greece. It is located in the center of Greece in this era. The meaning extended from the geographical location alone represents the unique status of the kingdom rooted in this land.

Even if it is not as rich as Athens, it is also rich in products. The gradually intensive trade and exchanges make it develop rapidly, and it has become a rich country that other kingdoms in Greece cannot match.

Only the unique geography and products are not enough to guarantee the stability of the country, but the previous two generations of kings here, Critus and Aeson, are undoubtedly very upright and distinctive kings. This made Iolkos more and more powerful.

However, the emergence of the current king, Pelias, broke this situation. Iolkos, which should have continued to develop rapidly along with Athens and other city-states, began to stagnate in its development.

I don't know the reason for it. Some people say that it was a punishment from the gods, and some people say that it was simply the bad result of Pelias' ruling during his reign.

But now there is a new answer and statement—the son of Aeson and the grandson of Critus, Jason came to Pelias to seek revenge with his father's resentment.

This statement came out inexplicably after the prince of the previous king Aeson returned to Iolkos half a year ago, and it spread more and more widely.

Even in other city-states and kingdoms, news of this rumor can be heard.

The group of Lixiang who entered the city had already heard the relevant rumors when they were in Athens, but they didn't care about it at that time, but now they are walking on the streets of Iolkos, even if they just go to buy some fruit or something I also heard such news from the conversations between the store owner and other customers.

"Hey...have you heard...?"

"Ah? What what?"

"Two more heroes went to join Jason this morning!"

"Oh, didn't he have dozens of heroes under his command that day?"

"I can't count the exact number, but I believe they will set sail soon!"

"They really want to find the Golden Fleece? Isn't that thing in Colchis?! How could it be possible to find that thing in such a distant place!"

"It doesn't matter if he can find it or not! Anyway, just drive away the guy who caused the disaster! This year's crops don't look good, and there is probably no hope for a good harvest... I hope that after this guy is gone, we will return next year." Can have a good harvest..."

"Well... You can't say that. After all, Jason is the son of Aisong. Aisong has given us a good life for many years."

"Aisong is very good, but that was at least 20 years ago! Think about what kind of life we ​​have lived in the past few years! There have been many disasters, crops are hard to harvest, what have we become! I see this It was that Jason who did it... We all lived well if he didn't come back, but when he came back, disasters followed...!"

Hercules: "..."

Lixiang and the others listened intently to the conversation between the two ordinary citizens, and in the end they didn't even buy the fruit they wanted.

"Hmm... It seems that Jason's life is not easy now..."

Lixiang who walked out of the shop sighed.

As a prince in the past, not only had to deal with his uncle who is now the king, but he was also jealous of his own subjects. I really feel tired thinking about it.

"Crack..."

Hercules walked out of the shop without saying a word, but he clenched his fists, his veins bulged, and his iron fist the size of a sandbag cracked. People on the road couldn't help being shocked when they saw such a tall man. Jumping, he quickly made way for him, his eyes full of panic seemed to be staring at some monster.

"Mr. Hercules looks very angry..."

Matthew frowned slightly.

"He has always had a good relationship with Jason..."

Lixiang is understandable, after all, he is a very good friend. Generally speaking, no one can watch his friends suffer from misunderstandings and attacks and remain as usual.

What's more, Hercules, this bloody hero is very emotional. Now that he heard these rumors and offensive words, he didn't directly burst into anger but restrained himself.

"In that case, these rumors are..."
