Chapter 51 The New Twelve Trials

The reception at the palace ended with countless passionate cheers of "Vive la Vie". In the dead of night, an unexpected guest arrived in Greece.

She was a beautiful woman like a nymph. She had pink-blue feathers on her head and pointed ears like an elf. She was wearing an ancient Greek wrap that only covered one shoulder, making her look like an elf from a fairy tale.

Whenever such a beauty appeared in Greece, she would attract the attention of local kings and princes and drive heroes crazy.

"Troy? The place where that kind hero appeared?" The girl looked down at Troy, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a charming smile, as if she had found her own value.

Her name is Circe, a famous "transfiguring witch" in ancient Greece, and she is also the aunt of the treacherous witch Medea.

Her father is the sun god, and her mother is one of the sea goddesses. This witch herself is the most beloved and has lived from the early ancient Greece to the present day.

She had witnessed the legend of Perseus killing Medusa, seen the heroic deeds on the Argo, and also seen the miserable old age of her little niece Medea.

As a result, she fell into "fear of marriage" and has been wandering in Greece.

This time, she received oracles from three gods at the same time.

The first is Hermes, the messenger of Zeus, who tells Circe to lead the Greek heroes of the Thunderbolt to Olympus and grant the trials of the gods.

The second was her father, the Sun God, who told her that she must protect the heroes on the Tianting this time, especially the kind hero.

Her mother, the Ocean Goddess, told her that she would meet her destined hero during this journey.

So she came to Troy to complete the task given by her father Zeus and her father. At the same time, she was curious about what kind of man she would fall in love with after witnessing the tragic old age of her niece Medea.
So let's begin the first trial for the heroes!

When dawn broke, there was a knock on Xue Lufen's door, which made him very uncomfortable.

After several months, his body was already in tatters, and the suffering he had collected was not even a fraction of what the great sage had once collected.

Even though he now possesses the physique of a demigod, the protection of a Noble Phantasm and a Divine Protection, he is still wrapped in bandages and covered in a white robe to hide the scars and illnesses on his body.

Illness and suffering have also made his body numb, and he can only maintain barely any movement. His body has basically reached its limit, so he will set off for Olympus today.

[The prediction module has been installed. I'll help you add some other features in the final period. I won't be able to help you in real time in the future. Good luck.]

The old man’s words popped up on the panel.

He didn't say much during this period, and Xue Lufen also knew that the old man was awake less and less.

He had already been dead. In ancient Greece, he had tried his best to help Xue Falu block the prying eyes of the gods.

[Prophecy: Once a week, you can clearly predict a specific piece of information about the future of your world. Price: You will not be trusted by any creature in this world for 7 days.]

As expected, it was a function obtained by analyzing the prophecy witch.

He had no intention of using this ability now. He simply lowered his hood and muttered to himself, "Wish me luck."

It should have been very quiet outside the temple.

All Trojans knew of his poor health, and the area was quiet every morning. Even the most vulgar porters would lower their voices when passing the temple.

This is the respect and love that the Trojans have for him.

But today, there is only noise outside the door.

And the sound of pigs?
The first thing Xue Lufa saw upon exiting the temple was the Greek heroes, weapons in hand and with angry faces, and a group of dozens of clothed and armored pigs at the entrance. A question mark popped up in Xue Lufa's head. At this moment, the elf-like girl standing among the pigs spoke.

"Are you the kind hero Siddiqui? My name is Circe, and I am the messenger of Zeus, the father of heaven. I am the one who gives you trials and guides you to Olympus." The girl's voice sounded.

But at this moment, the group of Greek heroes were even more jealous. They didn't care about the witch's threat at all and wanted to kill her as soon as possible.

Xue Lufeng looked at the girl. She looked like a young girl, but Xue Lufeng knew that she was an old witch who had lived for who knows how long...

At the same time, she was also the most famous...madwoman in ancient Greece?
Especially since she now comes as a messenger of Zeus.

Did Zeus discover their plan?

No, if Zeus really found out, it would not be the witch Circe who would come, but the thunder of divine punishment and the Scylla sea monster.

"This is the first trial I give you. How will you treat these heroes who have turned into pigs?" She raised her head slightly and looked at Xue Lufen and the heroes in a very arrogant manner.

Looking at the angry expression of the Greek hero, the pig in armor, and combining it with the original text of this crazy woman, Xue Falun instantly guessed most of the story.

In the original story, Circe deceived the heroes who passed through her island and drugged them to turn them into pigs.

And now, she still uses the same method.

The most important thing is that today is the day when the Tianting sets sail, but now, there are variables.

Xue Lufeng faced the most famous witch in mythology head-on. His voice was a little hoarse. "Messenger of Heavenly Father, do we only need to complete this trial before we can set sail?"

"That's right. The gods will set trials for you. Just like the heroes of the Argo, you will also go through twelve trials before you can finally go to Olympus. This is the first trial." She said, not caring at all about the angry looks of the Greek heroes.

Because behind her is Hermes, and behind Hermes is Zeus. Moreover, her father is the sun god and her mother is the goddess of the sea. Such a background makes her confident and arrogant.

In Circe's heart, she felt that the hero in front of her should either abandon these companions who had turned into pigs, or take these companions with him on the journey.

If they choose the latter, she will let this trial pass. This is the reference answer. If they choose to abandon their companions, it can only prove that the kind-hearted hero is just so-so. Circe will not hesitate to destroy the newly built Thunder, making this journey end in vain.

Of course there is a third option, which is to capture her and threaten her to turn these heroes back.

In the past, she might have been a little worried.

But now, she has Zeus behind her and the protection of the Hermes wind. Even among the gods, there are countless eyes looking here, as if following a live broadcast, looking forward to the start of this epic.

Therefore, she was not panicked at all, but instead thought it would be good if they really chose this way.

Among the Greek heroes, Odysseus came to Hector and said, "Hector, are you sure you can capture the witch before she reacts?"

Hector, who originally had a heavy expression on his face, replied: "Maybe I can try."

"Then we can capture her and force her to hand over the antidote, and this trial should be complete," said Odysseus.

The person who was later called "Quede Xiusi" on the Internet immediately came up with this idea to break the deadlock.

Hector's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the spear in his hand was aimed at Circe's body.

Seeing the hostile looks from the Greek heroes in the distance, she smiled and turned back, saying, "Heroes of Greece, when I set out, I also received the blessing of Hera, the Queen of Heaven. She made me fearless of any threats. Also, I received the blessing of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, who ensures that any hero who harms me will be retaliated against. So, I hope you won't consider threatening me directly to complete the trial."
