Bamen was stunned and laughed,""I thought you were naive. Not bad, not bad. You dare to catch me? Unfortunately, I won't let you get what you want. The person who will be sold is you, my little beauty, the ferocious little leopard.”
Pointing at Polydoros, Bapparides walked up, pinched his chin and looked at him for a while, then said,""After a few years, you might become a stunning beauty.”
I sneered and said firmly,"I'm afraid you won't live that long."”His voice echoed in the huge luxurious tent. The burly man who was holding me tightened his grip. I felt a little suffocated from the strangling. Only then did I remember the most important question." You, what are you doing?”
Barmendes laughed at himself and walked over with a glass of wine.""Us? To put it nicely, we are traveling merchants. To put it bluntly, we are bandits. Our footprints are all over the world, and there are goods that we sell everywhere! Money flowed between our fingers like water! We are the masters of wealth!" He spread his arms and raised his head to announce loudly, not afraid of offending Hades, the God of Wealth. I saw a red mark on his neck and narrowed my eyes.
He sneered." You're a slave?"
Bardius's body trembled, and his violent anger poured onto me. He rushed forward and pressed his fist against my abdomen like a hard stone. Two mouthfuls of gastric acid spurted out, and I collapsed in the slave's hands, almost unable to breathe.
"I am the master! With wealth that could rival a country and power that could order people around, these people were the slaves!”His eyes turned red as he stared at me.
I didn't think much of it and said," Although you've obtained freedom, you've given yourself even heavier shackles. Compared to these slaves, your life is even more tiring and miserable! You are the slave of money, the slave of desire, Master Baptiste!”
Barmendes threw the wine glass at me and shouted," Beat him up! Kill him! How dare he defy his master!" Fight! Beat him to death!"
The two slaves pressed me to the ground and kicked me. I curled up and heard Polydoros 'uncontrollable cries. After all, he was still a child!
Bardius laughed out loud in front of me." Tell me, tell me, who is the master now? Tell me, haha, why are some people born as masters, while we are destined to be slaves for the rest of our lives and be ordered around like dogs? No, we are worse than dogs. My former master traded me for a merchant with a horse. Tell me, why? The world had never been fair. The winner was king, and the strong dominated everything. Do you know what the first thing I did after I got the money was? "I bought his former master and his family. Then I killed his parents in front of him, raped his wife and daughter, and finally gave him to the centaurs. I watched as he was torn apart and swallowed. How satisfying. From then on, I told myself that I wanted more money, more power, and more slaves. See, now I have done it. No one can come to save you. I control all the sea routes on Lemnos Island. If they make me unhappy…" With just a flick of his finger, he could starve 50,000 residents to death on the island!”
Barmendes was a crazy person. At the very least, he wasn't in his right mind. My entire body was numb from the pain, and my flesh was badly mutilated. I looked up at Polydorus. He kept sobbing and shaking his head, showing him a comforting smile. I suddenly understood Achilles 'comforting words. He always liked to say,"Silly child!" Silly child! Ha! She missed him so much.
I didn't know when it stopped, but I was already on the verge of fainting. I heard Bamen say,""Lock them in the pet cage and set off tomorrow morning!”
"But, master, the priest said we'll sail tonight.”Someone said.
"Clang!"
"If I say I won't leave, then I won't leave. Are you courting death?”
I was dragged out of the luxurious and decadent tent. I took a deep breath of the fresh air outside. There was a fishy smell of the sea. It should be near the coast. It seemed that I had to think of a way to escape as soon as possible. I didn't want to be sold to Moldova.
I almost vomited after being thrown into a smelly tent. I finally understood the difference between heaven and hell.
Polydorus fell to the ground and couldn't stand up because he was too tired from crying. I crawled over and held him in my arms." Okay, it's okay. Be good. Don't cry, okay?”
Polydoros looked up at me and cried even harder. He hugged me tightly and shouted guiltily,"It's all my fault. It's all my fault!"
I smiled and shook my head to wipe away his tears. I deliberately put on a straight face and said,"If you're a boy, don't cry. You even said that you wanted to fight a war.”
Polydoros wiped his nose and glared at me." Who said I'm afraid! It's all your fault, you big idiot. It's all your fault for messing things up! Wuwu, why did you save me?"
I didn't answer. I turned my head and looked around. I met dozens of malicious eyes in the darkness. There were golden, black, and blue eyes. All of them shook their heads and wagged their tails as they watched coldly.
"This, could it be that we're at the zoo? What's going on?"
"What zoo? We are all pets of the gods. Don't judge us with your lowly human values.”There was an iron cage nearby. There were dozens of locks on the door. Some of them were already destroyed, while others were covered in scratch marks. The chains were wrapped around the cage. The owner of the cage was a female demon with a beautiful face, eagle wings, lion torso, and snake tail. She was laughing at me with her teeth cracked. Her shrewd and old eyes sized me up. Finally, she snorted coldly." No wonder she's a demon too!"”
I looked down at myself in surprise. My face was red, my body was stained with wine, and my whole body was green. I hugged Polydorus tightly, trying to cover myself with him.
A gust of wind swept past from the right. Three strange birds were fighting for something in a huge cage. They had the head of a young girl, the body of a vulture, and sharp claws. They were fierce and flapped their wings. The ground was covered in filth, and the stench assailed their nostrils. After a while, a gust of cold wind blew against their faces, and they could only hear them cursing each other.
"Bitch Kelaino, watch my wind!”
"Pa!"
A strange bird with flaxen hair and brown wings was blown to the cage by the strong wind. Fortunately, the railing was strong, and it only shook slightly due to discomfort. It continued to stand upright.
The strange bird that had been fanning the cage earlier pounced on the food that was already in disfigured shape in the center of the cage. Halfway through, it encountered an obstruction. The red-haired strange bird pounced over like a whirlwind, leaving three marks on its face with its sharp claws. Blood flowed out profusely. After the bird succeeded, it grabbed a handful of food and flew into the air, laughing proudly." Herro, you're still a step behind when it comes to speed. Go home and practice!"”
The black-haired strange bird that had been ambushed was already furious. It flew up in a rage and chased after her." Crazy girl, you're courting death. How dare you snatch it from me? Come down!"”
Fortunately, the cage was spacious enough. Although it was not as wide as the sky outside, it was not a problem to spread its wings.
Keleino, who had regained his senses after hitting the cage, saw us at the door. His eyes immediately lit up as he turned his head to call out to his companions." Hey, look! A human has been captured."”
The birds chasing in the sky stopped and swooped down, staring at us with wide eyes of curiosity, which made us two human beings look neither fish nor fish. In the darkness, an old sigh came out, followed by two young sighs and panting sounds." Sigh, we can't live anymore. When can you despicable and greedy human beings satisfy your greed? Zeus 'eyes are bright. He sees everything you do.”
Polydoros trembled in my arms and held me tightly. I patted his back and pulled him to his feet. He tore his wounds and fell to the ground. Polydoros shouted and cried again.
He paused for a moment, gritted his teeth, and endured the pain as he asked,"Are you all prepared to wait for orders? There's no way to escape?”
The monster in the shape of a banshee at the door sneered and said,"If we can escape, do you think you humans have the right to teach us a lesson? Do you see? These chains were all made by the famous craftsman Daedalus. Even with my intelligence, I can only open half of these 33 locks. I can't open the rest no matter what I do.”
"Yes, yes, we can't do anything about it. Moreover, the quality of the food they give us is so bad. It tastes terrible!”The three strange birds echoed his complaints.
After a cold laugh and a grunt, a pair of green eyes in the darkness said disdainfully,"No matter how good the food is, it would be strange if it could still be eaten after being ruined by you!”
"Humph! Little monster, don't be sarcastic. I wonder who was the one who acted like a chaste woman when she first arrived and went on a hunger strike.”Keleino said sarcastically.
" What?!"
With a clang, the iron chain was put on the iron cage. The owner of the voice walked out of the darkness. There were countless poisonous snakes entangled on his head and body. His tail was wagging like a dragon's tail, and his mouth was dragging the ground. These were not the most thrilling things. When I saw his head clearly, Polydorus screamed and tried to crawl into my arms.
I was so scared that my legs were trembling. I pointed at him and trembled for a long time, unable to speak." You, you, what are you?”
That dog had three heads on its body, and it was even more terrifying than the Scylla monster I saw at sea. This was because of the aura of death that he emitted from his entire body. He looked at me coldly and said,"Something? Yes, I am a thing. I am a dog that guards the entrance to the underworld. I am something that even the dead are afraid of. Everyone has to bribe me to obtain the right to be reborn. You are the same.”
I hugged Polydorus tightly. Although I knew that there was an iron cage protecting it, I was still afraid that it would break the railing and rush out to eat us.
"People call me Cerberus," he said in a panic."A bribing name.”
"You, why were you captured? What does Barmendes want?”A strong sense of unease rose in his heart. It was definitely not a matter of capturing these monsters every two or three days. Moreover, they were all Alien Divine Beasts.
"Who knows? Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sphinx, from Boaotia, and I'm close relatives with the old guy inside.”Sphinx said to me, changing his mocking expression.
I followed the direction of the lion's paw and looked over. It was the three father and son who had sighed earlier. One of them was lying on the ground and looked old and weak, almost at the end of his life. The one in the middle looked strong and strong, but he was covered in wounds. A wound on his stomach had just healed not long ago. Lying beside the young lion was a cub that had just been born. It obediently licked its paws and lazily looked at us. It raised its head to rub against its father or mother's neck.
The old lion looked up at us and said,"We are the descendants of the Nemoan Lion, who was killed by the great hero Heracles. My father, like the Sphinx, is also the child of Typhon and Echard.”
I didn't quite understand what she said, so I could only nod. My eyes stared at the cute little lion cub, which was shining brightly. It was as if I was hugging it. It was super cute!
My gaze was probably too fierce, and even Polydoros noticed it. He glared at me and then knocked me down.
"Yeah, it's the younger generation. It seems that the three of us can be considered your ancestors. Hehe, good grandchildren, kowtow to the three of us.”Just now, the fastest strange bird, Ocupus, had hooked his hand at us, but in return, the Sphinx rolled its eyes, Cerberus warned us with a low whistle, and the three generations of lions looked at us with disdain.
Herault was furious and jumped up." What kind of attitude is this? We, the Halpian gods, are the gods of the previous generation of Olympus. Don't think that you can climb over us just because we've been exiled. Hurry up and show some sincerity, or I'll blow you into pieces with a hurricane!" Hey, Ekubotte, say something too. What's the use of running fast? Look at the attitude of these juniors!”
The god of Ekubotte slowly tidied his feathers and said,"Since he's a junior, it's understandable.”I said it lightly, but anyone who knew how to read expressions would know that this bird was the hardest to deal with. Seeing that a storm was about to arrive, I hurriedly spoke up to mediate.
"You haven't told me why you were captured. Did you capture you just to sell for a good price?”Things were too strange. How could good and bad things come together?
" I don't know," Kellerno said indifferently." We were living well on Sphalos Island. We were caught and woke up and locked up here. Who knows what that old monster wants to do?”
I looked at Cerberus. He hissed and said,"Strong uneasiness, the earth is shaking. I don't know what it is exactly. They have sealed my five senses, so I can only feel it with my touch.”
Something big? Does the outbreak of the Troy War count? Does the Wine God Parade count?
" Oh, right. We encountered the Stinfaris Lake Monster Birds on our way to Lemnos Island. They attacked us, and a monster called Scylla appeared on the sea. We almost encountered the Siren.”I turned to look at the Sphinx. She frowned and looked at Cerberus, then at me. After a moment of silence, she said with difficulty,"It's not that you didn't encounter them, but they were also captured.”
I shivered, and my mind rumbled. It's over. What does this mean? Why were all the monsters captured? What was the commotion in the dark? What was waiting for them? I added,"Is there any clue that Baptiste is going to Macedon?”
They shook their heads in silence, at a loss. The Sphinx did not mind and asked,""How did you escape from the Stinfaris Lake Monster Bird? I remember that those monsters were very difficult to deal with.”
Polydorus fell asleep in my arms, tears still streaming down his face. Poor child, innocent victim of war, absent-mindedly replied,"Apollo and the God of Wine helped us.”
"No, I can't! It's not a coincidence!" The old Lion King suddenly stood up and shook his mane. Although he was no longer as heroic as before, he was still quite powerful. He looked at us with a burning gaze and said,"The Saint Stone of Onfaros was lost, and the balance of the earth was broken.”
The Onfaros Saint Stone? What was that?
