Greece brings evildoers

"How did you know?"

Asclepius had a hint of surprise in his eyes, but then he corrected him seriously.

"Actually, we can't even talk about true immortality. It can only deceive the eyes of death and regain life for those who died in a short period of time and whose souls have not yet left the body. In this process, the corpse must meet various requirements. It depends on the conditions. For example, the time passed after death, the state of the body, etc..."

As he said that, the future medical god took out two bottles of blood samples received from Stheno and Euryale last night, and shook his head with some regret.

"Unfortunately, the Gorgon blood in my hand can only grant the immortality of gods to mortals. If I can get the legendary [Golden Apple] that contains [immortal divinity], perhaps this thing can be improved. It can truly bring the dead back to life.”

"You want to change it? Come in!"

Lorne's scalp was a little numb. He couldn't help but drag Asclepius outside the door into the small dark room. He laid out defensive spells on three levels inside and outside. Then he turned around and stared at him with a dark face. This is the future god of medicine.

"Did you know that you are going to be in trouble?"

"What?"

"Is the boundary between life and death a realm that mortals can touch? What you have done has trampled on the laws of the underworld!"

"I am a doctor, and it is my bounden duty to save lives and heal the wounded..."

Asclepius frowned and answered seriously.

However, before he finished speaking, Lorne rudely interrupted Asclepius' self-defense.

"So what? Why can only gods be immortal and only the Lord God be immortal? Have you never thought about it?"

"..." Asclepius looked confused.

"Because the authority of the gods is born of fear, and is strong because of awe. Death is the greatest punishment for life, and it is also their most important weapon. You make mortals no longer afraid of this outcome. Gods whose faith has been shaken will sooner or later be found. On your head!"

Lorne warned in a cold voice, while seriously asking about the specific situation of the elixir.

Compared with the bottles and cans in the infirmary, these are the real dangerous goods!

If we don't take advantage of the chaos in Hades and eliminate the hidden dangers as soon as possible, once this bomb is detonated, the consequences will be disastrous.

Soon, with Asclepius's truthful answer, the luck in Lorne's heart was gradually extinguished.

The elixir of death did not just appear, but had already been developed by Asclepius three months ago.

At that time, he had just escaped from Ares on the island of Cyprus and fled all the way to Athens. Under the recommendation of Chiron, he entered the Academy of Athens and became a medical teacher.

During this period, Asclepius accidentally went out and was deep in thought to cure his illness. A poisonous snake quietly coiled around his staff. He subconsciously killed the snake, but then a poisonous snake appeared with herbs in its mouth, resurrecting the first dead snake.

Such a wonderful phenomenon gave him the idea of ​​creating an elixir.

So, Asclepius returned to Athens and asked Medusa, the snake goddess in the Great Temple, for a share of Gorgon's blood, which possessed the divine nature of snakes.

When Medusa learned that Asclepius was going to use this to prepare a new medicine to cure diseases and save lives, she decisively agreed.

After a period of patient research, this talented future medical god actually formulated a magic potion that can bring mortals back to life!

So far, he has put more than thirty elixirs into use.

Although more than 30 lives were saved, it also left huge hidden dangers.

Such a large-scale reversal of life and death would have been almost impossible to conceal the past had it not happened that there was turmoil in Hades and the God of Death was kidnapped by Sisyphus.

Thinking of this, Lorne's heart was shaken, and his eyes flickered in the direction of the city-state of Corinth.

Perhaps, trouble has already come...

The imbalance of life and death in Hades is probably not only due to the kidnapping of the God of Death, but also to system bugs caused by the abuse of elixirs.

Therefore, Hades authorized Hecate to go out in person and go to the surface to find out the specific reason.

And the goddess of the dark moon came straight from the sea to Athens. I am afraid that in addition to capturing Circe and returning to the post, she was also attracted by the changes in the imbalance of life and death in this land.

However, in order to save Circe, Lorne sold out Sisyphus first and asked the culprit who kidnapped the God of Death to take a shot for Asclepius who developed the elixir.

But I'm afraid I won't be so lucky next time.

It is almost impossible to sprinkle more than thirty doses of elixir without attracting any attention.

When Sisyphus is thrown into Hades and pushes stones, Thanatos, the God of Death, returns to his duties. Sooner or later, he will pass through the death list of the "Loom of Destiny", notice something strange in Athens, and locate Asclepius who violated the taboo. .

And the final outcome was that Zeus personally took action and killed Asclepius with thunder!

Now, we are in big trouble...

Anticipating the series of consequences, Lorne had a headache and immediately reached forward with a dark face.

"Where's the medicine? Hand over as much as you have!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I still need to use them to save people."

Asclepius shook his head in refusal and clutched his satchel warily.

When Lorne saw Asclepius reacting like this, he suddenly became furious and stepped forward with a sullen expression.

"Then I'll destroy them!"

"It's useless. The recipe is in my head. As long as the raw materials and hands and feet are still there, I can still prepare new elixirs and use them to treat illnesses and save people."

"You don't want your life!"

"I am a doctor, and it is my duty to treat illnesses and save lives..."

Asclepius answered seriously, his calm eyes not causing the slightest disturbance due to the problem of life and death.

"If I had to choose between my work ethic and the will of the gods, I would rather go against the latter."

That almost stubborn stubbornness reminded Lorne of Apollo who contradicted Zeus face to face in the Great Temple.

Both father and son have a stubborn and unrepentant temper at their core!

"If you were worried about implicating Athens, I would leave."

Asclepius picked up his satchel and began to pack away the bottles and cans on the shelf.

Lorne snatched the shoulder bag from his eldest nephew, frowned and snorted.

"Stop! Where can you go but here?"

"Cyprus……"

Asclepius pointed to his satchel and answered truthfully.

"There is an invitation from the royal family in it. Their prince Adonis passed away due to some reasons a few days ago, but someone could not accept this fact and wanted to entrust me to diagnose and treat him and bring him back to life. When I developed the [Elixir of Life], it was actually There is this reason.”

"Can you save him?"

"It's hard to say. He has been dead for too long and his soul has left his body. Even if someone uses special techniques to preserve the complete body, it will be difficult to resurrect him. What's more, the current elixir is not perfect. If you want to make a person It is even more difficult to revive a dead god.”

Asclepius shook his head and answered honestly.

"But, they should take me in."

After Lorne listened carefully, his eyes flickered, he took out the invitation from his bag, stuffed it into his arms, and then reached forward.

"Bring the elixir, I'm going to take a trip to Cyprus."

Seeing the strange behavior on the other side, Asclepius frowned and hesitated.

At this time, Lorne didn't talk nonsense, his body twisted and turned into a blind old man in civilian clothes.

"It's you!"

The moment he saw the appearance opposite him, Asclepius couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

The man in front of him was the blind poet Homer who defended him from the pursuit on the island of Cyprus.

Based on the trust he had, Asclepius no longer hesitated and handed a portion of the elixir to the savior in front of him.

Lorne took the elixir, then wrote a letter with the existing paper and pen, and threw it to Asclepius.

"Say goodbye for me and give this to Hestia to see if she can help."

"You yourself don't..."

Asclepius wanted to ask, but thinking of the recent tragedy in the kitchen, he understood something instantly and wisely did not say much.

Immediately, Lorne looked at Asclepius in front of him seriously for a long time, hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his left hand to hold it forward, took out the golden Holy Grail from the magic array, and hung his right hand above the Holy Grail. The tight fingers pierced the palm, and a ray of golden blood dropped into the Holy Grail.

At the same time, a halo of light appeared behind him, and the green grapevines in the center spread and intertwined, reaching into the golden cup.

Immediately, the purple-red nectar filled the golden cup, and the rich aroma of wine filled the infirmary, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

After doing all this, Lorne raised his glass forward: "Drink, this wine is my blood, I will make a covenant with you here, and I will try my best to ensure your safety."

Asclepius, not doubting his presence, picked up the golden goblet and drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking, the sweet wine flowed through the limbs and bones, and there seemed to be some mysterious connection between the blood vessels.

“Good wine!”

Asclepius expressed his sincere admiration and returned the golden cup.

Lorne curled his fingers to outline a few lines of Hermes, sealed the Holy Grail, glanced at Asclepius, and snorted angrily.

"Don't be too happy. To be honest, this method is just my idea. I haven't tried it yet. I don't know if it can save your life."

Even so, Asclepius heard a hint of genuine concern and sincerely bowed his head to the man in front of him.

"Anyway, thank you..."

"No need to thank you. I'm not helping you for nothing. Everyone gets what they need."

Lorne waved his hand expressionlessly, and then after hearing a burst of noise from the wooden house on the top of the mountain, he took Asclepius's bag where he had hidden the elixir before he was prepared, turned around and rushed out of the infirmary. .

"Remember! Before I come back, don't worry about your [elixir] anymore!"

Looking at the savior who had snatched his things and fled all the way, and the goddess of the stove who came straight to the infirmary with two kitchen knives on the mountain, Asclepius pinched the farewell letter in his hand and spoke. Time is speechless.

Why does he feel like he has been cheated?
