The world-devouring dragon

"Huh? How could I not outrun a turtle? Fiddler, you must be kidding me, right?"

Theseus asked confused.

The mysterious harp player smiled and plucked the harp in his hand, making a crisp clang sound. Then, he spoke again.

"Theseus, you might as well imagine this. If there is such a turtle, it can run one-fifth of a cubit per second (one cubit is 45 centimeters), and it is two hundred cubits (about 90 meters) in front of you, then How long will it take you to catch up with it?"

Theseus thought for a moment and answered confidently.

"I only need five seconds to catch up to that turtle."

The violinist replied again.

"Then Theseus, when you ran for five seconds, this slow and slow turtle also advanced one cubit. Therefore, five seconds passed and you did not catch up with this turtle."

Theseus replied unconvinced.

"Then I can catch up with it if I chase it for another forty-tenth of a second."

"But Theseus, just when you chased for one-fortieth of a second, the turtle advanced another two-hundredth of a cubit, and now you still haven't caught up with the turtle."

Theseus was still unconvinced and asked again.

"Then what if I chase you again?"

"Theseus, you can still catch up, but the tortoise is still running. Every time you chase a little bit, the tortoise also runs a little bit. So, you will never catch up with this turtle."

The violinist looked at Theseus, spread his hands, and showed a mysterious smile.

Theseus was dumbfounded.

He comes from Athens, which is known as a place with many famous philosophers. Faced with this question that seemed outrageous at first glance, he was stunned for a moment, but he did not answer it vaguely, but tried to be more serious.

"Turtle... I... wait, why can't I catch up?"

He held his head and counted silently, muttering how many seconds he had run and how much the turtle had advanced. Finally, he kept mumbling various numbers.

Heracles on the side did not have such a good temper. He shouted to the violinist.

"Hey! Aren't you ashamed of your clever tongue to coax a young man?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The violinist couldn't help laughing, and then he said.

"It's not that I coaxed him, it's just that he got into the maze on his own and couldn't get out. The young hero who was able to escape the Cretan maze couldn't escape the maze he set for himself."

As he spoke, he put away the smile on his face and bowed seriously.

"Orpheus of Thracia was a lyre player, but he knew he would not lose to others in battle, so he could participate in the adventure of the Golden Fleece."

Seeing that the violinist was no longer frivolous, the hero's frown relaxed slightly and he responded.

"Hercules."

The harp player did not make a good impression on the hero, so he spoke unkindly.

However, the violinist obviously knew his reputation and said in surprise.

"Oh, is he the great hero of Thebes? It's amazing. It's such an honor to meet you."

Faced with the violinist's overtures, the hero nodded and considered him acquainted.

The businessman next to him asked, is this wild boar still for sale? How much is the price? The big hero waved his hand unceremoniously and refused to sell it.

He had a good impression of Theseus, his little fanboy, so he decided to roast the wild boar and have a dinner together. He woke up Theseus, who was still obsessed with whether he could outrun the tortoise, and invited him to have dinner with a few people.

The adventure of the Golden Fleece attracted many Greek heroes, so the qualifications to board the ship became the object of competition. Many warriors competed for the spot. This was also a preview before the adventure.

This adventure requires only the best heroes to cope with the most dangerous difficulties. It is normal for ordinary people not to be able to board the ship.

Therefore, it is not possible to get on the ship immediately. There is still some time before the adventure of the Golden Fleece. During this time, it is better to get to know the heroes from all over Greece.

During the dinner, Hercules also introduced his companion, Hylas, a young and handsome boy to his little fan. In terms of age, this boy is younger than Theseus.

During the dinner, Orpheus showed his amazing harp skills. When he plucked the strings, it was crisp and sweet, and he also sang for fun, making the party more cheerful.

Hercules asked, raising his glass.

"Orpheus, your harp looks great."

The fiddler replied with a smile.

"This is a gift given to me by the god Apollo one day when I was playing music in the wild."

Although Zeus ordered the gods not to visit the mortal world at will, he was not strict. Occasionally, he would encounter traveling gods in the wild, which was not surprising in this world.

Several people continued to chat and talked about what they saw and heard. When the mood strikes, the player will compete with Theseus. It must be said that Orpheus's harp player costume is indeed very confusing. He is far from being as fragile as he appears. On the contrary, he is unexpectedly powerful.

With his rich experience, Orpheus actually slightly outperformed some of Theseus. This made Theseus, who was determined to become Hercules' second best, very frustrated. It was Heracles who laughed and comforted him before his expression changed. Better.

On Hercules's shoulder, the little snake was sleeping soundly.

The so-called Golden Fleece Adventure? It is nothing in its eyes. It would only be interested if it could snatch the thunder and lightning from Zeus's hand and have a thunder and lightning adventure.

But just as he was thinking this, his eyelids suddenly opened, and his erect pupils stared not far away.

Um?

Seems interesting.

…

The dock was bustling with Greek warriors and heroes everywhere, and everyone wanted to compete for the golden fleece. But there happened to be an open space, and everyone subconsciously walked around it, eventually forming a circular empty space with no one around.

Then in an instant, a bunch of people in different clothes appeared in the open space. Some were wearing casual clothes, some were wearing medieval plate armor, and some were simply wearing mage uniforms.

Among these people, a few men and women wearing casual and modern clothes looked blankly in their eyes, and then looked at those strange people and the surrounding environment in shock.

"Why am I here?"

"Hey man, is this cosplay here?"

"Fuck, do you know I..."

A few people either asked questions or remained silent, and some people came up and started to curse directly.

The man wearing medieval plate armor and knight attire did not hesitate, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and used the sword spine as a ruler to slap it. Amidst the screams of a woman, the man dressed as a knight struck the scolding young man to the ground with his long sword.

The thick and strong sword immediately calms people down. This is definitely not a cosplay prop.

But the strange thing is that no matter how much the men lectured and the women screamed, the people coming and going around them seemed not to notice, and they calmly avoided this invisible circular space.

"Help! Killer!"

Someone took advantage of those people's unpreparedness and tried to escape into the crowd, but found that he ran directly into the transparent air wall.

It was only then that the few people wearing modern urban clothes realized that what they were facing was definitely not a kidnapper or a mentally ill person.

"Okay, swordsman, just give the newcomer a lesson. Bai Wu, there are still 10 minutes of protection time, let's give an introduction to the newcomer."

A man with a silent expression spoke. He scolded the man dressed as a knight, and then said to the woman dressed as a mage next to him.

The woman nodded and began to introduce the new people.

"Everyone, as you can see, this is no longer the 21st century..."

Not to mention how the woman introduced the frightened newcomers, the swordsman withdrew the sword from his waist and said to the leading man.

"Lao Jiu, this is a punishment mission. Have you found out what kind of world this is?"

The man nodded.

"If the reward points I just spent are correct, this is the world of Greek mythology, but I don't know which version of Greek mythology it is. It would be fine if it was a movie or TV series, like "Wrath of the Gods" and "Troy" This kind of power system shouldn't be too strong, but if it's some kind of magically modified Greek mythology... that would be difficult."

The man pondered, and finally shook his head.

During the team's last mission, they deliberately used props from the Harry Potter world to create mission conflict bugs, forcing them to stay in Fuyuki City for sixty years during the Holy Grail War. The entire team fought two Holy Grail Wars and stole the cup twice.

I was still taking chances, but as soon as the mission was over, the Lord God gave me a punishment mission unceremoniously.

Before entering the punishment mission world, several of them didn't even know which world it was. They had just used reward points to find out that it was a world view from Greek mythology.

"Greedy Wolf, hurry up and put on a disguise for the newcomers. When the protection time is over, who knows what will happen to us in fancy clothes."

Another shirtless man nodded, and a pile of ancient Greek-style clothing quickly appeared in his hands. He is a warrior himself, but he learned a lot from Hassan Baimei in the previous world, and gained a lot of insights into rapid change of clothes.

The newcomers were a little awkward about changing their clothes in public for a while, but the man waved his hand and forced the newcomers to change their clothes in the sudden fog.

After a while, everyone changed their clothes. Although they were not used to what they were wearing, at first glance, they looked fine.

At this time, Ah Jiu's eyes moved, and everyone, including the newcomers, was stunned for a moment, as if they were looking at something.

"The mission goal...kill Hercules?"

The swordsman read word by word, his expression a little ugly.
