"Give."

After getting rid of the pursuers, Xin Sheng and Nima went around in a big circle and found a cave north of Anafato ruins to rest.

Nima threw a golden piece to Xin Sheng, which was evidence that she successfully killed Iokast.

Xin Sheng quickly reached out to catch it, took off the cowhide water bag hanging on Pegas and took it into a big mouthful.

"ha!"

He took a breath and Xin Sheng looked through the fragments of the artifact in his hand.

"What happened before? How did those God-Cultural Guards be alarmed?"

Nima spread her hands with a wry smile: "This infiltrating the assassination is a reminder for you. Even if you have a thorough plan, you may also have accidents when you take action."

"My actions to kill Iocasta were not actually exposed, but my luck was not very good."

"There was a guard who probably had a urination. He ran to a corner that could not be observed in the ruins temple to release water. When he came back with his pants, he happened to run into Iocaste and died, so..."

"I see."

Xin Sheng shook his head helplessly: "This is indeed an unexpected situation, but fortunately we escaped successfully."

"I wanted to ask when I returned from assassinating the 'master' last time."

Nima looked at Xin Sheng with curiosity and wrapped in a lot of golden thin sheets: "What exactly is this thin sheet? What is it for?"

Except for Natiya who is far away in Alkadya, including Kassandra and Darius, the artifact fragments obtained by everyone killing members of the God Cult are concentrated here in Xin Sheng.

Xin Sheng thought about it before answering: "You should know about ancient artifacts, right? These fragments are part of the artifacts, and every member of the divine religion will carry a piece as a token."

Nima suddenly turned abrupt: "We have to collect them to work?"

"...You just think that's it."

‘In fact, there is also a magical body needed as a integrated device.’

The unknown triangular artifact was stored in the Temple of Order underground in Delphi.

During the non-assembly period, the Order God Cult protects the temple very closely, and it is not realistic to break in front and infiltrate. The power of the God Cult needs to be further weakened to get the opportunity to enter.

"So let's go ahead and go. Artemis settlement is not far away."

...

The Artemis village on Chios is the headquarters of the daughter of Artemis, with extremely strict defense.

"stop!"

When Xin Sheng and Nima rode horses outside Artemis settlement, the hunters in more primitive clothes immediately stopped the two.

Judging from their alert expressions, they seemed to be planning to launch an attack if they had a disagreement.

After dismounting, Xin Sheng raised his hands and signaled that he had no malice: "Don't be nervous, the hunter of the daughter of Artemis."

"I am Xinsheng, and I am undergoing the trial of Artemis. You should have heard of me from Daphne?"

"Sisters, put down your weapons!"

A strong woman with a scar on her face lined up and walked to the front, looking back and forth like a beast on Xin Sheng.

"You are the trialist this time? Daphne did mention you in his letter."

This dark-skinned woman is about 30 years old. She has an ordinary appearance but a very strong temperament. She should be the leader of the Artemis settlement.

"My name is Tertina. Daphne has not returned from going out, and the headquarters is temporarily under my management."

"Beast Slayer, why are you here? Chios Island does not have the legendary animals you want to hunt."

Xin Sheng smiled and nodded, "I know, I came for the monster on Lesbos Island."

The hunters around the gate of the settlement had some commotion, and some of the hunters even showed fear on their faces.

Tertina frowned and shouted: "Quiet!"

With a scrutinized look at Xin Sheng's eyes, Tertina asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to hunt that mythical monster?"

"yes."

"Even if it's likely to die?"

Xin Sheng replied unshakably: "Yes, killing mythical creatures scattered throughout Greece is my promise to my friends."

"Before I came here, I had defeated Sphinx first. Please believe me, I will never go to die."

There was a look of hesitation and thought in the eyes of Tertina, and finally she sighed: "Andra, go get the key."

"yes!"

A young hunter named Andra trotted into the settlement and soon ran back with a golden disc of very special material.

Take the key from Andra and Tertina solemnly handed it to Xin Sheng.

"I heard about your experience of taming the Keluni deer in Ubeya, and perhaps Artemis is indeed favoring you."

"Beast slaughter, be careful. That monster has taken the lives of many of our sisters, and its threat is definitely not comparable to wild animals."

Xin Sheng still doesn't know what the deep meaning of this hunting mission, known as the Artemis Trial, has.

But as one of the elders of the organization, Tertina certainly knew the inside story, and she also knew Daphne’s expectations and values ​​of Xin Sheng.

Xin Sheng promised seriously: "Thank you for your concern, I will be fully prepared to challenge it."

...

Lesbos Island, also known as Lesbos Island, is the third largest island in Greece, second only to Crete and Uberia.

The sealed petrification valley of Medusa is located in the petrification valley of northwest of Lesbos Island.

This valley is covered with heavy fog all year round, and the petrified temple left by the Yishu civilization is hidden in the depths of the fog.

There is no animal or plant in the entire valley, and the bare woods are silent, which makes people feel instinctively uneasy.

"Cry!"

The golden eagle Daedalus, who was the first to come to the valley, made an anxious cry, and it could not see any pictures inside through the thick fog.

"Shh~"

Before officially entering the valley, Xin Sheng called Daedalus down from the air.

"Crash!"

He closed his wings and landed on the owner's left arm. Daedalus whined a few times to Xin Sheng with a warning.

Xin Sheng sorted out the feathers for Daedalus: "I know there is danger. Don't follow me with Dahuang this time, and wait for me outside the valley with Pegas."

"Woom!"

Dahuang was very dissatisfied with the owner's desire to leave him alone, and jumped up and down around Xin Sheng, trying to "persuade" the owner to change his mind.

"no!"

Xin Sheng knew the danger of this operation very well, so he squatted down seriously and rubbed the dog's head hard.

"I have plans to save my life, but I will definitely not have the energy to take care of you at that time. If you join the battle, it will distract me."

“Woo~”

The trained hunting dog is very intelligent. Through Xin Sheng's very determined attitude, Dahuang knew that there was no chance this time, and she whimpered in her throat and made a grievance.

"Obe obedient, I will barbecue steak for you when I come back."

After settling down his animal companion, Xin Sheng turned to look at the anxious threesome.

"So too, you can only stand outside the gate far away from the battlefield and watch, and you must not enter the field."

"This battle is very dangerous, and I don't want to be distracted to save you."

Barnabas nodded quickly: "I haven't lived enough yet, and I don't want to turn into a stone here."

Herodotus also agreed with a smile: "Your courage and heroic attitude to challenge mythical creatures with a mortal body is my greatest gain. I will not be able to get more and more. Let go of the battle."

Nima seemed a little unwilling to accept it, but under Xin Sheng's stern eyes, she finally agreed.
