Chapter 124 Leader

On this day, in that powerful and rich Argos country on earth, King Acrisius was sitting on top of his throne, the guards holding spears on both sides were standing solemnly, above the great hall, the maid who was in charge of taking care of Princess Danae's food and living was kneeling in the center of the great hall at this time, her body could not stop shivering, and her expression was so panicked and helpless that tears could not stop flowing out from the middle of her eye sockets. 'I asked you to take care of Danae's food and shelter, to watch over her to keep any man away from her, and can you tell me why, in just a year's time, my daughter has given birth to a child without my knowledge! And you, why have you not come to report to me about Danae's illicit affairs!?" The magnificent wine glass was slammed on the maid's side, and a loud noise echoed through the great hall, the old king Acrisius was in a state of extreme anger at this moment. Recently, the country of Argos was holding a grand festival to offer sacrifices to Hephaestus, the guardian of the kingdom, in order to thank the gods for granting the country inexhaustible copper mines and the technology of smelting iron and copper. This feast was extremely grand, and the old king, who had not seen his daughter for a long time, felt some nostalgia in his heart, and wanted to say that he would take advantage of this rare festival to go and visit his daughter, who was locked up in a tower of copper, in the middle of the tower. But when he climbed the tower, but heard a burst of baby's laughter from the tower, the old king Acrisius was struck by lightning, Apollo's prophecy began to emerge in his mind, for the fear of death so that he lost his former wisdom and sanity, Acrisius ordered, let a person to drug the tower of Danae and the maid, and so on the maid woke up, looked at the old king of the rage, knew that things have been When the maid woke up, she looked at the furious old king and knew that the matter had been exposed. The maid simply did not hide any more, kneeling on the ground to tell the old king what she knew: 'Wise and wise King of Argos, I do not intend to deceive you, but really have an unspeakable hardship. I have been taking care of the princess in the tower for more than a year now, and it is certain that I have never seen a male come to this tower, but Princess Danae is just unexpectedly pregnant, and under my questioning, the princess finally told me the truth." 'Speak quickly! Just who defiled my pure daughter! I will have him and his family arrested ......" 'Your Majesty!" Before Acrisius could finish his words, he was interrupted by a horrified looking maid, 'Princess Danaeus said that her lover, a handsome man, came out of the golden rain! I know your fear of prophecy, but ...... but this child of Princess Danaea, it is very ...... likely that it is a gift from the gods, if you hurt them and offend the gods, then you and your people, will suffer misfortune! " 'What!" Acrisius smiled as if he had been hammered on the head, and immediately sat paralyzed on top of his throne. The gods ...... Why are they partial to the gods ...... Even if Argos is strong and powerful, it is impossible to be able to go against the gods. Finally, after the old king was silent for a long time, he raised his head and commanded the guards on both sides in a deep voice, 'Take her down, and also, pass on my order to go down, have someone build a box, put Princess Danae and her illegitimate son into the box, and throw them into the raging sea, and if they are really favored by the gods, they will naturally be safe and sound. " 'Yes!" The guards on both sides received the king's order to hold the maid down, and instructed the kingdom's skilled craftsmen to build a huge wooden chest, shut the princess Danae and the baby inside, and threw them into the middle of the sea, where the waves soon swept the chest and carried it to a faraway place. In the holy light of Mount Olympus, the king of the gods, Zeus, sat on his golden throne, his gaze piercing through the clouds as he watched all that was happening, and did not intervene in the face of what was happening to his lover and his heir, as the life he had set out for the demigod's heir, full of challenges and trials, had now kicked off. The scepter in the hands of the king of the gods lit up with light and contacted his brother Poseidon in the middle of the sea: 'Poseidon." '...... Zeus, what is it hurry to say, I'm busy here!" Poseidon's voice is somewhat furious, was Zeus interrupted the good thing very dissatisfied. '...... Poseidon, my lover and demigod heir are suffering in the midst of the raging sea, I want you to go and guard them and send them to safety." Zeus did not care about Poseidon's tone and spoke faintly, his voice carrying the unquestionable dominance of the king of the gods, 'Go now." With that, he cut off the connection and continued to observe the Danae mother and son with his gaze. '...... Shit!" Poseidon had no other choice but to curse and get up from the bed to put on his divine robes. A pair of crystalline jade-like arms reached out from Poseidon's back and encircled his solid arms. 'Leaving so soon?" A voice that was coquettish in its lethargy, as seductive as a siren's murmur. 'Temporarily a bit urgent, when I'm done I'll come back to see you, my lovely Medusa." Poseidon turned his head, and what entered his eyes was a beautiful face of demonic bewilderment, the dark green snake hair lightly spitting and licking Poseidon's handsome face, expressing his inner reluctance on behalf of his master. 'Alright, then come back early, I'll wait for you here." Medusa pouted and said to Poseidon in a petulant manner. 'Good." Poseidon smiled dotingly, kissed Medusa's cheek, lifted his own Poseidon Trident and headed out. Through the perception of divine power, Poseidon quickly searched for the mother and son of Danae, the wooden crate was floating in the midst of the raging waves, the relentless waves lapping at it, almost devouring it. Poseidon waved the trident of Poseidon in his hand and summoned the gentle waves to carry the crate to an island called Serifos, where Dictys, the younger brother of the king of the island, was fishing on the sea in his fishing boat. Upon seeing the crate, the exquisite craftsmanship of the crate made him realize that it was by no means something an ordinary family could own, and he hurriedly salvaged the crate and put it on board the fishing boat. When Dictys took out a crowbar and opened the wooden box, the beautiful princess Danae, who was holding a baby, appeared in front of his eyes. At this moment, the sea water surged and rushed into the fishing boat to converge into a human form, and the voice of Poseidon, the god of earth-shaking, came from it. 'Dictys, son of Serifos, before you is the son of the gods' favor; take care of him and bring him up, and you will be rewarded by the gods." How could Dictys, who was a citizen of the island, not recognize Poseidon, the king of the sea, and having received his oracle, Dictys hastened to kneel reverently, saying that he would certainly take care of the mother and child, as the gods had instructed him to do. After Poseidon's form dissipated, Dictys hurriedly carried the unconscious Danae and the baby in her arms out of the wooden box and settled them on a cot in the fishing boat, and then rushed to steer the fishing boat back to the island of Serifos. Zeus, the king of the gods, withdrew his gaze only after he saw that Danae, mother and child, were safe, and then he summoned Hermes and told him to go and summon Athena, who at his bidding was spreading knowledge and skill on earth and educating mankind, back to the mountain of the gods. 'Great King of the Gods, I wonder what business you have summoned me for?" The cloaked, bright-eyed goddess walked into Zeus's temple of the god-king and spoke out inquiringly. 'Athena, there is an heir to my earthly princess who will be my chosen leader for all mankind, but he is too weak for now, so I need you to travel to earth and become his mentor, to protect him, to guide him, and to walk the path he should take." Although Danae's child had great potential, that half human bloodline was ultimately a drag, he needed to grow up as a human would under the wash of the years, and it was only as he grew older that the divine bloodline in his body would sprout, granting him strength far beyond that of normal people. Zeus gave Athena the task of protecting the life of the son of the gods when he was still in the fragile infancy, teaching him knowledge, honing his skills, and stimulating the divine bloodline in his body, so that he could be sure to pass the test he set up for him, and become a great hero of the people's expectations. Athena's eyes flashed when she heard Zeus' words, how long has it been since this divorce with Hera, first Demeter and now a certain mortal princess? Sure enough, the love of this king of the gods is as light as weeds. But ...... Zeus in the past is not without favor with the mortal woman, also gave birth to a few demigods heir, but never cared about the attitude, how now suddenly on this god son so on the heart, and even want to personally teach him, so that he will become the leader of the whole of mankind? This king of the gods who has the thought of no benefit,no getting up early, what exactly is the purpose of doing this? Athena knew deep down that all this was by no means that simple, but these thoughts passed through her mind for just a moment, and without being able to think about it more, she hurriedly showed her absolute obedience to the divine king's order without questioning it.
