I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

If it was before, Atalanta would have scoffed at his calculations, or as long as she got the permission and understanding of Lord Artemis, she would definitely find a place to shoot his head with an arrow.

It's not impossible for her to add a new version of father's death and daughter's laughter to the general public.

But now when she heard these words from Theiasus, she couldn't help but think of this thing that should have been abandoned by herself long ago.

He...why would he suddenly ask this?

Atalanta couldn't help trembling a little while doubts arose in her heart, even though her rationality as a hunter was telling her that she must never draw a conclusion so early.

but……

Is he hinting at me?

Is he hinting at me?

Is he hinting at me?

She couldn't help asking the question because of her special feelings for this boy, and at the same time, she felt a glimmer of hope.

"Yeah, Igasus wants me to choose a spouse... I didn't refuse directly. If you want to marry me, you must outrun me in running. If you are behind me, you will be shot by me." kill."

Atalanta looked at Lixiang and said, she wanted to see something different on his face, the expression she wanted to see.

Unfortunately, it seems not.

"...Does Atalanta like this?"

Li Xiang asked.

Is he asking about my interests?

"No, it's just to get rid of the shameless demands of that old man and those hordes of annoying guys."

Atalanta looked directly at the boy's pupils like the starry night sky, and said.

"yes……"

Lixiang said: "Then what if I can help you get rid of all this?"

"Eh?"

"I can help you solve your father's troubles."

"You mean... do you want to participate too?"

Although Atalanta suppressed the excitement in her heart, she couldn't help but tremble when she thought of this possibility.

No...

Can't laugh yet...

Theiasius hasn't made up his mind yet...

Be calm, just be a little more calm...

"I didn't mean to participate...I mean maybe I can use magic to help you get rid of any competitors behind your back, and then just deal with those guys who want to play tricks."

Lixiang thought for a while, it seemed that there was no need to enter the arena by himself, and if he officially entered the arena, wouldn't it mean that he was also interested in Atalanta?

Although the habits and concepts he had developed as an ordinary human being for more than ten years are gradually blurring with the awakening of divinity in his body and the erosion of each era, this is not an excuse for him to step on two boats casually.

He regarded Atalanta as a friend, but Atalanta didn't like him, so if he got involved at this time, wouldn't it be unilateral and self-indulgent?

Maybe we should pay attention to the distance between us and Mash in the future.

At this, a certain consciousness that has been buried in the deepest part of his body scoffed at it.

hypocritical.

"No."

Atalanta's expression froze, and then she justly denied Lixiang's plan.

"Eh? Why."

"Magic is not allowed."

Atalanta said the new rules she made three seconds ago without blushing.

She is the only three human beings in all of Greece who crossed Arcadia overnight. Among the remaining two, apart from Mash who is also a woman, only Lixiang can run faster than her.

After all, when Lixiang crossed Arcadia, he still took Mash with him, but he was still able to keep pace with him.

Atalanta is confident. Except for Theiasius and Hercules who don't know if he can run past him, other heroes are confident that they can surpass them and shoot them even if they have magic protection. .

But since Lixiang said so, how could he not make good use of it? !

"yes……"

"But since you said that, how about giving me a hand, then entering the arena and helping me get rid of all the opponents?"

Atalanta had a decided expression, Lixiang thought for a while, and it seemed that there was no other way.

Just helping Atalanta here...it seems to be nothing...

Anyway, just make it clear after that.

After thinking secretly, Li Xiang nodded slightly, and then said: "Well, it doesn't matter what, as long as it can help you."

Lixiang's answer made the huntress slightly taken aback.

Is he concerned about... no, is he worried about me?

PS: Let's finally solve the problem on Atalanta's side, and then we can basically reach the final decisive battle.

PS: In this singularity, there is a background board behind Matthew. After all, Greece is not the home of Little Eggplant (laughs)

Chapter 140 IX: What does Theiasius getting married have to do with Tachika Fujimaru?

three days later.

After receiving the news that the Argonaut had successfully returned with the Golden Fleece, the surrounding city-states also became restless.

After all, on the Argonaut ship full of heroes, the heroes were also summoned by Jason. The original identities of the heroes were mostly princes in various city-states, or even the king himself.

The same is true of Arcadia, a vast city-state full of forests and home to Atalanta, one of the few heroines on board the Argonaut.

She was supposed to be the princess here, but she didn't want to admit the identity that she hated.

Now that he knew that his daughter had returned, King Iasos of Arcadia immediately asked someone to bring a message to his daughter, hoping that she could come back.

In this way, they can continue the "finding a husband for a daughter" link that had to be suspended because of Atalanta's sudden departure.

But what is surprising is that just yesterday, the messenger he sent out the day before yesterday received the news that Atalanta had returned to Arcadia the next day.

So fast?

The slightly older king couldn't help but feel a little bit puzzled. He didn't doubt his daughter's speed. The rumors of crossing Arcadia in one day were still circulating throughout Greece. All but in a moment.

The reason why he felt wrong was because of the same speed on both sides, and the messenger was not Atalanta, but he didn't have the ability to cross Arcadia, so he couldn't meet Atalanta at all.

So Atalanta came back by herself?

King Iasos, who came to this conclusion, couldn't believe it... What happened to Atalanta?

Suddenly enlightened?

Although he had many doubts, when the blue-haired huntress reappeared in front of him, he also understood that this was the truth.

As for why...

Who knows?

As a result, young talents from many nearby city-states came here admiringly. When they heard that Atalanta, the most beautiful daughter of Arcadia, had returned, they couldn't wait to rush here.

Li Xiang didn't know whether Atalanta and the others forgot to say the second half of the sentence when they spread the news or something. They didn't know that if they ran too slowly, they would be shot through by Atalanta's arrow?One or two desperately sent.

In the end, nearly [-] princes, nobles, or lesser-known heroes from the surrounding city-states came.

As for the test set up by Atalanta itself, it is probably a large sparse forest, and it is enough to surpass Atalanta here and successfully reach the end.

Although it was just the king's whim, the king's order is the greatest execution force. In just one day's preparation time, high platforms have been built on both sides of the ** and the finish line, and civilians are surrounded at the starting line. On the high platform are the nobles of many surrounding city-states.

It is said that some magicians in and out of the court will project the screen of this speed competition.

It's almost like a live broadcast of later generations.

Lixiang was amazed by this kind of magic, but he didn't realize that he used a big magic to transfer the Argo from Colchis back to Iolkos a few days ago.

It is worth noting that among the more than 20 contestants, Lixiang did not see Hippomenes who was supposed to appear here.

Having said that, that guy followed him on the Argo after being beaten up by him in Athens, and I heard from Peleus that the guy became much more honest later.

So I chose to give up on the matter of Atalanta this time... huh?

Li Xiang pinched the center of her eyebrows, as if she had unknowingly changed the legend and history again.

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

Iagan came back, and there were quite a few partners on the Argo. Medea was studying magic as her own student, so she couldn't get along with Jason.

Anyway, he has changed enough, and he is not bad.

"Hmph, it seems that they are just small characters."

Before the starting line, Atalanta beside Lixiang said softly.

"Even on the Argonaut, you are the fastest runner..."

Lixiang was a little helpless, what is the difference between Atalanta's speech and "how lonely invincibility is".

"how about you?"

"I..." Lixiang showed a smile: "Please be merciful, after all, I don't want to be shot through."

"..."

Atalanta remained silent, this was not the answer she wanted.

It didn't take long, amidst the cheers and shouts of commoners and nobles, this duel of speed was ready to start.

Those nobles, princes, and little-known heroes all rushed out, nimbly avoiding the sparse but still very obstructive towering trees in front of them.

But in this environment, Atalanta is like a fish in water, like a green lightning flashing through the big tree in front of him.

It's just that they left those people far behind in an instant.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and at the same time, those people really saw what can be called supernatural speed.

As time went on, the eyes of those people gradually changed from anticipation and confidence to panic. They all knew that if they failed to beat Atalanta in the race, then the only fate would be— —

"call out!"

An arrow pierced through the intricate intertwined branches of the trees, and shot through the throat of the last man to fall.

Those people's eyes were full of horror, and at this moment they began to regret why they ran to participate in this kind of competition where they could not win or die when their brains or lower body became hot.

But it's useless to repent now, and running away now is also death.

They still chose to continue to bite the bullet and ran towards the finish line with all their strength.

But the distance between them and Atalanta became farther and farther, and the huntress responded to them with only one insight aimed at their throats.

"Ahhhhhh—"

When a prince saw in horror that the people around him were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, the scythe of death finally swung down on him.

The arrow pierced through his fragile throat and nailed him to a big tree behind him. He could only let out a painful and unwilling whimper at the end, and then died.

Five minutes later, there was no one else behind Atalanta.

But in front of her, at some point, he started to run, and he had surpassed her boy within a few breaths.

he--

The boy's moon-white figure passed by her, and Atalanta saw only a vague white shadow at that moment.

Like a passing phantom.

It's like a mirage that is impossible to grasp, like a dream.
