When they parted more than a month ago, Xin Sheng and Barnabas made an appointment to see Delphi at the end of the year.

Greece has a small land area, and more than a month is enough for a high-speed expedition ship like Adristiya to circle the Aegean Sea.

Xin Sheng smiled and walked up to Barnabas and hugged him: "I didn't expect you to come so quickly. I thought you would not come until the end of the year."

Barnabas laughed and patted Xin Sheng on his back: "Haha! I'm not very lucky this year. The things you told me have been done. So come here early to seek guidance from Pitia, hoping to get lucky next year."

Kassandra looked at the long line in front of the temple and asked, "So, have you seen Pitya?"

"No."

Barnabas said with some regret: "I just arrived yesterday afternoon, and I hurriedly planned to come and queue up early this morning, but in the end... look at this crowd."

"It was just dawn when I arrived in front of the temple. The team had already lined up to the bottom of the mountain. I definitely didn't have time to see Pitya today, so I could only come here early tomorrow."

Xin Sheng suddenly noticed that a few steps behind Barnabas was standing at a stranger wearing a hood.

He had thought this person was a Apollo believer waiting in line, but when Xin Sheng and the other two greeted each other, the stranger suddenly walked towards this direction.

"Oh! I almost forgot to introduce it."

Seeing Xin Sheng's expression suddenly become alert, Barnabas patted his forehead and pointed at the hooded man who had already come to him.

"This is a friend I met when I was in the army in Athens many years ago. When I was traveling to Bootia through Attica, I happened to meet him in a small port, and he planned to travel with us for the time being."

The hooded man bowed politely to Xin Sheng and the other two and bowed: "I'm glad to know everyone, thank you for saving Barnabas from the robbers."

Xin Sheng has good dynamic vision. When the Hooded Man bent down, he saw his face. It was a weathered and quite old face.

‘It turns out it was you.’

Xin Sheng guessed the other party's identity, but he did not say it out loud, but just smiled and gave him a gift.

"Hello, I am a travel hunter who traveled from the far east to here. Xin Sheng, you can call me Xin."

Kassandra also introduced herself generously: "I am a mercenary Kassandra, this is Natiya of Kefalonia."

The old man's voice was very gentle and his speech was slower.

Although his body is dressed very ordinary, his whole body reveals an intellectual atmosphere, and he looks like a scholar.

"My name is Herodotus, a traveler who is studying around."

Herodotus was honored as the father of history by later Western academic circles and the oldest historian in Greece.

His book, "History", is the first complete prose work in the history of Western literature.

The book tells the historical folk customs of Greece, North Africa and Syria, and records in detail the whole story of the Hippola War.

Later generations divided this masterpiece into nine and named it after the name of the Muse.

However, since there are many Spring and Autumn styles in Herodotus' books based on personal preferences, those who hate Herodotus also call him the father of lies.

Herodotus was born in Harkarinasos. He once resisted the local tyrant, Lygodamis II, when he was young.

Unfortunately, his actions ended in failure and were exiled to Samos.

It was not until the tyrant was overthrown that Herodotus was able to return to his hometown.

But at this time he had fallen in love with the life of traveling around, traveling freely across Greece, recording the customs and customs of different regions.

Herodotus first met Barnabas in Athens, and later the two left Athens one after another and embarked on their own journey.

This time the two reunion was just a coincidence. Barnabas, who was very devout in the gods of Olympus, called this encounter the guide to the gods.

He firmly believed that there was a reason for his reunion with Herodotus. When the other party suggested that he wanted to follow him around for the time being, Barnabas agreed without saying a word.

Herodotus had not completed and published his works during this period, and he was still not famous yet. Kassandra and Nathia did not react particularly to Herodus, who reported his own family.

Xin Sheng suppressed the excitement of seeing historical celebrities in his heart, and on the surface he was very calm and chatted with Herodotus all over the world.

Herodotus was quite curious about Xin Sheng's appearance that was very different from Western races, and was also full of curiosity about the ancient Eastern country of China.

In 431 BC, China was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when heroes emerged. The existence of princes in the Warring States Period was quite similar to the composition structure of Greek city-states.

It was not until the end of the Warring States Period that the King of Qin swept Liuhe that China completed its first unification in history.

Xin Sheng was not born in history major, but at least he had studied middle school history.

Even if the rulers of each vassal state cannot be described at the current time, at least they know the names of their respective countries.

It is impossible to meet Pitya through regular channels today. Xin Sheng and the other two planned to find a place to rest first.

Xin Sheng originally planned to ask Barnabas about the completion of the task entrusted to him, but Herodotus kept pestering him to ask about the general situation of the Eastern world, and Xin Sheng could only answer his questions patiently.

After returning to the hotel where Barnabas and Herodotus lived, Xin Sheng finally stopped asking the curious baby Herodus to ask questions using the excuse of fatigue.

"interesting."

Herodotus' old face was full of excitement: "I didn't expect that there were so many countries in the distant East. I was still a little too conservative about the concept of 'East'."

Before meeting Xin Sheng, the farthest Eastern country Herodotus had contacted was Persia.

The Persian Empire was very strong during this period, and the entire Middle East was Persian territory.

The eastern border of Persia expanded to the Indus Plain, and North Africa and Europe in the West continued to be threatened by the Persian Empire.

The massive Hippola War has ended less than 100 years ago, and the Greeks still had a deep impression of the Persian Empire.

As for the further east of the Persian Empire, this touched on Herodotus' blind spot in knowledge.

Although I don’t know whether what Xin Sheng said is true or false, this travel scholar who is used to writing about the stories he heard today still recorded.

Getting rid of Herodotus' entanglement, Xin Sheng can finally have a quiet conversation with Barnabas.

"Give."

Barnabas took out a very special disk and handed it to Xin Sheng.

Xin Sheng took the disc that looked like a CD: "Did you find it?"

"Well... it's not."

Barnabas scratched his head: "This disc was not found near the Sphinx Altar, but from Kissilla Island, a madman who called himself the brothers of the Gods."

"oh?"

Xin Sheng raised his eyebrows. He still vaguely remembered this... funny character who was portrayed more vividly.

‘If I remember correctly, the key in that guy’s hand seems to correspond to the Cyclops, right?’

Looking at the disc in his hand, Xin Sheng frowned and thought.
Chapter completed!
