Phineus said very calmly, "Because it is impossible for us to fully bear the pain caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, no matter whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, after experiencing these things, human beings will inevitably want to find a sustenance. My good wishes and the pain of suffering are entrusted to them."

"This is why people praise the gods when good things happen, and blame the gods for the source of their suffering after suffering."

"Um... what does this mean? I don't understand."

Li Xiang shook his head. He is not a native Greek, and the worship of gods is really very weak to him. For those real gods, his emotions are more respect and respect, rather than worship and belief. .

"Does this mean that the gods are just the ones who take the blame?"

He thought so according to his own ideas, and the owl on his shoulder "cooed" with some displeasure.

Li Xiang subconsciously reached out and took the owl off her shoulder, then stroked its head.

The owl resisted at first, but after feeling a little comfortable, he stopped resisting.

"You understand it that way...it's not wrong."

Phineus paused, and turned to look at his side. Although he was blind, his ears became his new eyes, helping him to contact the world.

Li Xiang didn't know what to say for a while, the old and the young sat on the big rock and were quiet for a while.

"After this disaster, what will you do?"

In the end, Li Xiang still wanted to ask this question, not only for the people living in Thrace, but also for him, this disaster has greatly touched him.

"rebuild home."

What Phineus said was not at all what Lixiang expected, and it was not difficult to guess that the old man would say that based on his assumptions.

"Even if we suffer a disaster, we need to continue to live, so it is absolutely wrong to choose to give up on ourselves because of a disaster. There is no reason in the world to give up rebuilding our homeland since we will all encounter disasters."

Phineus said as if he felt something from Tachika.

"Then... we..."

Li Xiang froze for a moment, and then couldn't help but want to ask Phineus about what he was thinking just now.

A smile appeared on Phineus' old face.

"Did you feel confused after seeing the disaster? Child."

"Um……"

Li Xiang froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"That's why I want to do my best to help people even if I am willing to be punished by the gods."

Phineus smiled and said: "After witnessing a painful disaster, I want to see smiles and see more people's smiles, so I want to work hard to change everything."

"It turns out that I have changed, even if this little change is so insignificant that you can't see it all the time."

"But it's by no means unchanged."

"……Eh……?"

Li Xiang slowly raised his head.

"If we didn't have you and the heroes of the Argonauts, there would still be ruins in front of us, but there would definitely not be so many people who survived, and some people who were lucky enough to escape would only can begin to wander in despair."

"But with you, the result has changed. Some people who were destined to die were saved by you. Thrace is still there, half of Thracian is still there, and half of the Thracian people are still there. You Only by killing the monsters can we rebuild our homeland."

"So don't think that you can't change anything. If you can do it and try to change it, it is already a very remarkable thing. If you fight for what you firmly believe in, you have already done it, even if you can only save one person in the end." Man, the life of this man was taken back by you from the hands of the God of Death."

"If you can do this, you are already a hero, Theathius."

Li Xiang was stunned, he never thought that the old man would say these words to himself.

"you……"

Li Xiang paused for a moment. Phineus' description of him made him inexplicably embarrassed, obviously he was still retreating just now...

When his mind was almost beginning to become distorted due to setbacks, the old man's encouragement still gave him some confidence as he gradually became hesitant, as if people who were lost in the sea fog accidentally saw a lighthouse in the distance The brightness is average.

During this period of time, his mind has been in a mess, and even he himself was a little worried about what would happen if he continued to think about it uncontrollably... Now facing Phineus' comfort, Li Xiang was relieved.

Simple words can't change the long-standing cognition, but this kind of relief at least makes me feel that what I need to face in front of me is not just the darkness of gradually falling into the abyss.

At least you can see a little light.

"Isn't it surprising? I obviously never told anyone about the things I was confused about."

"No... Thank you very much for your teaching, I will remember these words well"

"Remember? You don't need to remember. This is not a responsibility but a choice. As a human being, what you see is what you choose to do. That's all."

Phineus laughed.

"The future is always changing."

"When I first came into contact with prophecies and oracles, the future was as usual, so I tried to change Thrace by myself."

"Later, I offended the gods by borrowing the power of predicting the future and the gods, and I was punished, but my innate ability already existed, and I foresaw that a voyager composed of heroes would come here later, Release the punishment of the gods for me."

"Later you came, I had foreseen your existence in the prophecy, Jason, Atalanta, Dioscuri... and the hero Hercules who has already left."

"But you are the only one missing, Theasius."

Phineus said calmly, Lixiang paused, then nodded silently.

He can probably know the reason, probably because he is not a person of this era. The future will not change, and there seems to be nothing wrong.

"Later... until later, I suddenly discovered that the future had been changed. On the hero's ship named Argo, a hero appeared, and with the hero came disaster, which even the gods could not avoid. chaotic war."

"War is..."

Lixiang can probably guess it, which probably means that Gaia will go to war with the gods in the near future...

This is indeed a war, and it is a war that will definitely cause the loss of life, the wrestling between the earth and the gods. In that case, maybe every place will be like the tragedy of Thrace.

"What happened in the end?... What happened to the final result?"

Li Xiang couldn't help but want to know the result in advance, so that he might be able to make some changes.

"As a hero, you and the great god who woke up from the long sleep defeated the evil god from the abyss on the land where the flames rose."

Phineus said.

In just one sentence, there is a lot of information contained in it.

The evil god from the abyss... that is Gaia and its extended tentacles, but I don't know the specific date.

I have already become a hero, so there is no need to worry about this... so what about God?Who is this sleeping god?There are so many gods in Greece, this god is too general...

But if you want to talk about gods... gods related to him... or to be more straightforward, gods who are very close to him, and are very powerful gods, isn't it...

Li Xiang pursed his lips, feeling bitterness in his mouth, his emotions only hoped that his guess was wrong.

"What about the date? How long will it take for this disaster to come?"

Phineus shook his head and said: "All I can see is a few pictures, or I can get all the revelations in the dark, the specific time... I can only say that time is running out, the fastest one or two Months, half a year at the latest, disasters will happen."

"One or two months at the fastest, half a year at the slowest..."

Li Xiang frowned deeply, just thinking about these news now made him very distressed.

One or two months... What can he do in just one or two months?Hermes also told him not to act rashly until there is no news from Olympus. How can he stay honest in this situation?Waiting for the time to come to his side to die suddenly? !

No... I can't just sit around and die like this...

Maybe... it's time to find a chance to say goodbye to everyone on the Argonaut...?

This idea popped up in the mind of Lixiang who had experienced many adventures, and it still affected his thoughts from time to time.

No... even if you want to leave, now is obviously not the time, wait... let's wait for a while, it is too inappropriate to ask to leave suddenly at this time... Maybe, maybe we should leave after a major victory...

"Oh, didn't Theias take a break? Was he watching the stars with Phineus?"

A familiar voice rang in his ears, and the blond young man sat down beside the two of them.

"Didn't you sleep too?...No, in fact, everyone didn't sleep, right?"

Lixiang replied subconsciously, but then noticed that when the core two of the Argonaut were sitting next to the prophetic old Phineus, the heroes who were resting around involuntarily gathered towards them.

Peleus sat on Lixiang's left; Idas sat on Jason's right; Asclepius and Lixiang sat back to back; Matthew and Atalanta sat in front of the boy Sitting side by side, the brothers Dioscuri and Boreas, Edmund was close to Meleager and surrounded Jason, and more than fifty heroes were close together. At this moment, they are as one, Looking up at the starry sky together.

"Heroes... your road is still difficult, and the road ahead will not only bring suffering, but also parting between comrades in arms."

"After leaving the land of Thrace, you will come to the impact rock, where two huge rocks are pushed by the tide and smashed against each other. No ship can pass through it safely, but you only need to release a dove. Fly over, as long as the pigeon can fly over the rock, then you will do your best to paddle over."

"Through the colliding rocks, you will enter the sea of ​​Pontos;

You will pass through the land of the Bithynias, through the Rebas and its black straits;

You cross the sea and you will go to the cape of Aluxia, where there is a passage to Hades;

You will pass the hills of the Paphragones, the high cliffs of the Bear of the Whirling, the long beach between Harus and the Iris;

You have passed through the plain of Doias, and near there is the city of the Amazons—"

"After so many adventures, you will come to Colchis at last, and you will see the high holy wall of Aeetes, and the lush sacred forest of Ares, which is the sacred forest of Colchis. The treasure of the kingdom, the golden fleece guarded by the sleepless dragon."

"And how to get the Golden Fleece depends on your own courage and ingenuity."

Phineus told the heroes about the future, even if it was more or less related to the gods, the heroes who were favored by the gods had to be dumbfounded in surprise, and it took a long time for them to slowly recover.

Phineus turned his head to "look" at the crowd, and said, "Leave at dawn tomorrow and pay attention to the bones at sea. Maybe you have a better chance of winning."

The heroes nodded silently, but many people realized that the predicament in front of them was not all smooth sailing, and it might be very dangerous.

As for the meaning of Phineus' unclear sentence "Pay attention to the bones at sea", although some of the heroes quickly noticed it keenly, Phineus didn't seem to want to finish the sentence, so maybe all God didn't want them to know too much, so he wisely didn't ask too much.

Right now, the future path is clear at once. Jason is relieved at any rate, and he couldn't help saying to Phineus after receiving such help: "Dear Prophet, thank you for guiding our future path, I hope you You can live a long and stable life, and make up for the pain you have suffered in the next life."

"If you can regain your light, then I will be as happy as I am on my way home."

In this regard, Phineus just smiled, and then waved his hands. He has accepted this frankly, and sometimes people have to learn to give up something in order to find the meaning and joy in life.

"Son of Aison, my eyes are incurable. It has been like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will definitely be like this in the future."

"There will always be twists and turns in human life, and I have already accepted these twists and turns, and found a path worth walking on in my life."

He is so calm, now looking back at everything he has done, fortunately, although he has suffered, he has no regrets.

But Lixiang showed a smile: "No, maybe we should try."

"Hmph... I've never heard of a disease that can't be cured. If there is, it can only be the stupidity of the patient."

Asclepius uttered his classic quote.

The hero nodded silently.

Then, at daybreak, the Argo set off again.

The old man, leaning on crutches, saw off the heroes in the dilapidated port with the support of people.

He squinted his eyes, feeling that his eyes were so sore, and the tears kept flowing.

"Maybe I need something to heal you completely, but bear with me for now."

The doctor, who will save the dead in the future, said so to Phineus and left with the heroes of the Argonaut.

Phineus wanted to thank him, but Asclepius refused on the grounds that the treatment had not been completed.

The old man and the people looked at the departing ship of heroes, they will continue to stay here to rebuild their homeland, and the old man will use his own to change the dilapidated Thrace as before.

Those people stood by the side of the old man, and they have been helping Phineus from the very beginning, just as Phineus helped each of them selflessly. This was true in the past, it is true now, and it will be even more true in the future.
