Today is a sun shone brightly day.
"Cyd remember to go out and don't just trust others, be careful about food or clothes were given by strangers, don't agree to some seemingly simple requests, and if you see some weird people avoid them."
Today, Chiron-sensei is as nagging as always~
Cyd couldn't help but sighed while carrying a half-human-sized package.
"That... Sensei, the bag... can't fit anymore."
Chiron looked at the medicinal herb in his hand and the huge animal skin that was almost round package and finally smirked and stuffed the last medicinal herb into the package.
"Isn't this mean I am more worried about you." Chiron patted Cyd's shoulder, "although it is for you to meet people, safety comes first. Sensei can't be always by your side, you have learned Pan... ...cough, I mean only learned self-protection and some hunting skills, and the innermost layer is wrapped in animal skins with highly poisonous medicinal herbs, like the kind that seals the throat with blood."
Cyd who was touching it quickly shakes his hand after Chiron's words.
"But don't worry, as long as you don't eat it, it doesn't matter if you smear it all over your body."
"Sensei, I think I only get squeezed by the door when my head is near it and I will apply it on my body only if I'm sick," Cyd stuck out his tongue, "Can't Sensei give me a little more healing medicine?"
"In this world, even for gods, It's very hard to damage your body from the outside." Chiron shrugged, "If it is damaged, my medicinal herb is probably useless."
"Sensei, your words made me suddenly relieved. "
Either unscathed or dead.
It's reassuring.
"Now go," Chiron reached out and gently stroked Cyd's head, "Go and be whom you want to be."
"Ordinary or respectable. That's fine."
"You are all my proud students!"
―――
"So.."
Cyd gently placed the huge package on the ground, sat on the stone on one side with his legs crossed, and placed his fingers on the ground. He put it on his knees and said softly in a very polite tone.
"Can you tell me where is the temple where the God of Craftsmen Hephaestus lives?"
The six naked bandits hanging upside down on the tree looked pale at this young man with pure white hair who seemed to have little battle strength.
"The hero, please spare my life."
The bandit with only one eye begged for mercy under the urging of the other five people's eyes.
"It's really weird~ You were the one who was clamoring for me at first~" Cyd reached into the package and fumbled for a while, then took out an apple, "At that time, what would you do if I begged for mercy?"
"Of course, I don't do anything..."
The one-eyed bandit continued to say sorry, but for the sake of his life, he had to brace himself and continue the bullshit under Cyd's playful gaze.
"Hey~ so friendly," Cyd took a bite of the apple.
He's not an idiot. The bandits just saw him carrying a big bag and he was only one person, so they attacked him. As for the vulgar words in the middle, he filtered out.
"Yes, yes, we are all very friendly!"
The one-eyed bandit was almost in tears.
God knows why this youngster is so strong and is especially good at fighting. Even if he is surrounded by six people, he can dodge all the attacks with ease, and then knock them all down with one punch.
"So friendly bandit please tell me, God of Craftsmen, where is the palace where God of Fire Hephaestus lives?"
Cyd shrugged and then dug a hole in the ground with his foot, then put the apple core in it.
The one-eyed bandit's expression was a little stiff. Cyd's question was as ridiculous as asking if Zeus was male or female. They were just mortals. How could mortals know where the gods lived?
But if you don't answer, you'll probably die, even if it's nonsense, you have to brace yourself and say an address!
"You just... just move towards the west and walk straight through the forest...you'll find a bronze palace where the God of Fire lives!"
Cyd raised his brows, and at the same time gently filled in the pit with the kernel.
"Really! I didn't lie to you! I swear to the gods!"
As if a little anxious, the one-eyed bandit screamed.
"Really?"
Cyd picked up a branch and threw it gently into the sky.
"Please the gods guide me so that the tip of the branch points in the direction I should go."
What is this operation?
The one-eyed bandit couldn't react for a while.
"I believe you if the fruit tree's tip points to the west," Cyd said casually.
"Shua ――"
Almost instantly, the six bandits turned their heads neatly and stared at the branches swirling in the sky, screaming madly in their hearts.
West!!!!!
The one-eyed bandit even widened his only eye, as if he wanted to change the direction of the branches with his eyes.
However, the reality is cruel...
"Doesn't it look like the west side?" Cyd narrowed his eyes, he didn't throw out the branches very strongly, all of which were now almost the direction of the branches can be determined.
The direction is east.
The bandits' faces were pale. In this world, bandits can make civilians fear, but they are just as afraid of the existence of heroes as civilians fear bandits.
The heroes slaughtered them without mercy, took their heads, and went to the civilians, even if they did something indistinguishable from the bandits, no one would blame them, because they are [Hero]!
The one-eyed bandit looked at Cyd with pure white hair in despair.
At this moment, the mutation protruded, accompanied by a crisp bird chirping, a gloomy and dull bird suddenly flew out and hit the branch, causing the branch to turn in one direction. West.
"Emmm…"
Cyd tilted his head and looked at the gloomy and dull bird whirling in mid-air as if dizzy.
He will not believe what the one-eyed bandit said with a punctuation mark. From the very beginning, he did not intend to move toward the west. He will go wherever the branches fall, as long as he does not go back.
But it was such a coincidence that even Cyd had to admit it.
"It doesn't look like you're lying," Cyd scratched the back of his head and carried the huge package on the ground to his back,
"But it's impossible to put you down, so just reflect on it here."
After saying that, Cyd moved towards the direction of the branch without looking back, and soon disappeared into the jungle, leaving only six stripped bandits messed up in the wind.
"Boss...we survived," the one-eyed bandit looked towards the bearded bandit next to him with a surprised expression.
"Hahahaha! There is such a good thing!" The bearded bandit laughed wildly.
"Brothers! Let's go back and do two more robberies!"
As long as you survive, you can have everything!
"Look, I'll say they won't reflect."
A majestic voice suddenly sounded in their ears, and the bandits' proud expressions began to freeze.
"It looks like that child is still not cruel enough."
The grass not far away trembled, a cow came out at a moderate pace, and the flapping wings of the bird that was circling in the air landed on the head of the cow, the feathers gloomy and dull slowly faded, and some ridiculous birds turned into eagles in a blink of an eye.
The faces of the bandits began to twist, and the eagle and the cow in front of them sang and communicated like a husband and wife, and they heard the voice of a man and a woman!
"So, what to do with them?"
"Didn't they swear to us?"
"But they lied."
"Then punish them!"
"How about the fruit?"
"The taste will probably be disgusting."
A circle of the loop of hemp rope fell to the ground.
The cow shook her head and walked back to the grass. The eagle spread its wings to the sky. The six bandits on the big tree had disappeared, and only six apples were left swaying on the tree.
One of the Greek rules of survival.
Don't swear to God! They can hear it!
