I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

"Why should I help?"

Atalanta sat on the mast and retorted slightly indifferently.

"—I beg you!"

Lixiang's footsteps did not stop, but his shout echoed in the dense forest.

"...Forget it, it's to repay the favor I owed when I was with you before."

Atalanta frowned, then sighed helplessly, and murmured a few words, not knowing if this was his answer or an excuse.

The heroes who were chatting on the ship also took action one after another. They walked into the jungle, calling the names of Hercules and Hylas.

Jason was a little surprised at first, he didn't know what happened.

"Aren't you going to help?"

Someone asked abruptly behind him.

"Ah?! I don't even know what's going on now, what are you making me busy with?!"

Jason said unceremoniously to Castor in front of him.

"Theiasius didn't know what was blowing, so he asked the whole crew to disembark to find Shuras."

"Didn't Hercules forbid her to run around?!"

Jason was taken aback.

"You know, few children will obey the orders of teachers and elders honestly."

Casto has an understanding expression of someone who has experienced it.

"That's probably to let Theasius know that something happened. No, I have to go to Hercules. Hylas is his heart. If something happens to her, Hercules can't directly crazy?"

Jason complained a few words angrily, but his movements were not dissatisfied at all. He quickly ran off the boat, and his complaints were heard on the road: "This worrying little girl! Why is she giving us trouble everywhere? Add chaos!"

"Isn't brother going? If it's at our speed..."

Pollux was a little hesitant. In fact, she also wanted to go. She was one of the few women on the Argonaut who had an accident. She really couldn't see what happened to Xu Las.

"Ah, so let's go now."

"Eh? But brother, aren't you..."

"Where did all this nonsense come from? Isn't this what you said to go? Move faster and find someone earlier, maybe you can prevent a tragedy from happening."

"Find her quickly, but be careful not to be seen by those guys... otherwise it will be very troublesome..."

Castor said so, but didn't notice that the way Pollux looked at him changed.

"Brother...why didn't I realize that you also..."

"Noisy... It's so noisy, hurry up and leave!"

It seemed that the disguise he had been insisting on was suddenly exposed, and Casto couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

…………

At this moment, Hercules had already cut down a thick and big tree. Holding a short knife, he peeled off the bark and cut it into a long oar shape.

"Crack - crack -"

The blade coincided with the sound of the trees, making a strange rubbing sound.

"Find—found it!"

Suddenly, Hercules heard someone shouting.

"Polyphemus? What are you doing?"

Hercules looked at the hero in front of him and asked.

"Shylas—something happened to Shylas!"

PS: Some people may not understand (well, I don’t understand) why Lixiang reacted so strongly in Didu Mengshan before, but in fact you can understand it this way, you were severely injured by a murderer, and you are about to die , and then the second personality came online, turning the opponent into residual blood.

Then this hxd swallowed the murderer alive, using Li Xiang's body, Li Xiang didn't know about it mentally, but he had the memory of physical contact, this is equivalent to eating alive while sleepwalking (Physical) a person.

After waking up here, I was lying on the scene of the crime. As a person who has never killed a chicken (but chopped a monster) in his daily life, there is blood not only on his face, but also in his mouth.

In fact, the main reason is that those creatures born of the earth look like humans, except for a few more arms, if they were replaced by other strange-shaped monsters and swallowed alive, Li Xiang would just eat and vomit within two days What, it was so disgusting that he couldn't sleep, but in his intuitive thinking, those who swallowed the earth alive were already cannibals in disguise.

Killing people can lie to themselves that they are killing monsters, but what about eating people?

Chapter 93: Farewell, Hylas

"Miss Hylas...here is...?!"

Matthew opened his eyes wide and looked around.

The surrounding trees merged around and formed a circle, enclosing this area with a diameter of no more than one stadia.

The soft sunlight shone here, and there was gurgling water. A clear spring gathered in this seemingly not deep depression in front of the two girls. The gentle terrain flows out of this closed dense forest.

Dwarf trees grow beside the spring, and on them grow dazzling fruits like pearl agate.

And when she entered here, Matthew could clearly feel that the concentration of true ether (magic power) here was stronger than that [outside].

"The concentration of magic power is much higher than that of the surrounding area, and there are also very strange abnormal phenomena... Is it [enchantment]?"

Feeling the invisible changes in the surrounding air, Matthew couldn't help becoming nervous all of a sudden.

Generally speaking, only the magic of the Age of Gods and the power of the ancient gods can be established with the concept of "enchantment" in the Age of Gods, and when there are only two of them, it is not a good thing to directly bump into an enchantment.

"Miss Xulas... I think we should go back first..."

Matthew knew that it would be dangerous to act alone with Shuras, so it was safest to retreat as soon as possible.

"Is Matthew scared?"

Xu Las didn't turn to look at her, nor did he pay attention to Matthew's suggestion. She looked at the calm and clear spring with running water in front of her, and asked softly without looking back.

"Eh?"

Matthew was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected that Scholars would say such a thing at this time.

"God's magic and supreme authority are the two major elements of building a barrier, but no matter which of these two points are inseparable from the gods, they must be very dangerous things for humans."

She explained on her own, her words were unprecedentedly calm, but the slight ups and downs in her usual mood were missing.

"...I'm not afraid, I'm just worried that with the strength of the two of us, we won't be able to face the barrier, which will pose a threat."

Matthew paused for a moment, and gave a very firm answer.

"Hmm..."

Xulas exhaled, even though it was just a very short breath, it seemed to contain a little bit of happiness and relief.

"Thank you for your concern, Matthew...just, I don't think I can go back anymore."

A slightly bitter smile appeared on Xu Las's face. She turned her head and looked at the girl three steps behind her.

"Shylas—Miss..."

Matthew opened her eyes wide. In her eyes, it seemed that Shuras's body was gradually becoming transparent and distorted. Under the direct sunlight, her body actually shimmered after refraction.

"you……"

"do not come!"

Matthew quickly stretched out his hand, trying to grab Scholas's hand, but was stopped by the girl.

"Don't worry...it's just normal..."

Xulas smiled and said, "I just have to go back..."

"Go back? Where to go?!"

Matthew couldn't help asking.

But as soon as her words fell, a possibility appeared in the girl's mind.

"Miss Hylas, aren't you... a human being?"

"Well, yeah, that's why I just said that."

Xulas replied very simply: "I am the tentacles extending from the earth, a branch of Gaia, and I am the dancers, goblins, and elves who often accompany the real gods. These are our gestures."

"So I'm going back... It's been a long time since I left. Even though it's only been a short ten years, it seems that it's been so long that I'm about to forget this place."

Xulas' body slowly dissolved, but still maintained the basic human form. She tried to walk by the clear spring, but she was not as light and calm as before.

She walked back and forth, like pacing, more like reminiscing and yearning silently in a certain sense.

"—But what does it matter if you're not human? As long as everyone has the same mind and is willing to understand each other, then it's okay..."

"This is impossible, Matthew, this is impossible. People are doomed not to understand each other, let alone me as an inhuman existence."

Xulas smiled a little lonely, he didn't care about Matthew's struggle, and he didn't care about everything he had faced.

"Actually, it's very difficult for human beings to live among the crowd, let alone us who can board that ship, whether it's me or Hercules, all of them are living in the ordinary world. A person who has no way out in the strange world."

"Compared to me, Hercules' situation is a little more optimistic. Although he has suffered all kinds of hardships, he will definitely become a hero. Even if he dies in the end, he will be taken to the mountain of gods by the great god Zeus and become an immortal god. "

"But I am different. I am a tentacles extending from Gaia, the mother of the earth. I am a branch of the god of the earth, and I can also be regarded as one of the goddesses of the earth... Our ending has been written from the beginning , it was a tragedy, one tragedy after another."

"We are goddesses born from the earth, and monsters dormant in the abyss. When the time is right, our posture will also change. The former earth goddess will become a powerful and irrational monster."

"...We can't escape, because this is our mission, it is the meaning of Mother Earth who created us, we must take back the earth for our mother, and achieve the original pure starting point of everything..."

Hylas closed her eyes in some pain. All this information had flooded into her mind like an explosion before, causing her terribly painful, and the divinity of the Mother Goddess gradually awakened in her body, which also made her body change. It was abnormal, sensitive and weak as if sick.

"So, we will eventually become enemies in the end. If that's the case, then of course it's better to stay away from each other as soon as possible."

As she said so, the speed at which her body liquefied became faster and faster.

"But...but—"

Matthew wanted to stop her, but she had nothing to do with Shuras, who could hardly maintain a solid state physically.

At the same time, a soft gleam flashed, and the clear spring at the feet seemed to have noticed the existence of Xulas, splashing happily, and in the splashing crystal clear spring water, there was a person who looked similar to Xulas. A young girl who looked like Lars appeared. Her body surged out of the clear spring and stood beside Xu Las. If anyone saw them, they would definitely think that they were sisters of the same mother.

"Ah, they've all come to pick me up."

Xulas smiled, and there was a joy that Mash had never seen before.

"I'm sorry I can't go back with you, Matthew..."

Xu Las said: "I don't want to be like the three Gorgon sisters who are the mother of the earth and still follow the will of the mother of the earth to become a monster, and I don't want to hurt others, so I will stay here forever. My mother is just a seedling that will never sprout, and no one will break our lives again, and we will not become harmful beasts."

"I will just wait here until you continue sailing on the Argonaut to get back the Golden Fleece. You will all become heroes in the end. I firmly believe this. I sincerely hope that you can seize the opportunity in front of you. Happiness, Matthew..."

"Then... what about Mr. Hercules? Don't you say hello to Mr. Hercules?!"

"Heracles is the son of the great god Zeus, he is a born hero... as long as he completes the twelve tasks of Eurystheus, he can go to the mountain of the gods, live with the gods, and become an eternal god .”

Xulas replied very calmly and indifferently, as if the name had already failed to stir up waves in his heart.

"That was not what I meant!"

Matthew asked loudly: "It's Miss Hylas, your feelings for Mr. Hercules, isn't that what you asked me?!"

"Hmm... Even though I didn't understand what it meant, did you still throw the question back to me? Mash."

"Ah, yes...Of course I know..."

Matthew's question finally moved Xulas again, that delicate face trembled slightly, and there was unconcealable sadness and crying in his calm voice.

"Growing up by his side may be the happiest thing in my life... I used to regard this relationship as love and liking... Yes, yes, of course it is love, of course it is liking, But it’s not what I originally envisioned.”

"He is my teacher, my elder brother, and my father. It's just a pity that he is not mine... This love, this liking, revolves around the family relationship between the elders and the younger generations."

"It's just a pity that the child will grow up no matter what, until he finally leaves the arms of his family."

Matthew was stunned. All she heard from Scholars' words was the helplessness and sadness of fate, but she had no regrets.
