124 Witnessing the Legend

After successfully arriving at Chios Island, Xin Sheng and Natiya rode together and drove to the location of Artemis's daughter's headquarters.

The slow horse that Natiya originally rode has been sold in Athens.

Feeling Pegas' speed as fast as lightning, she felt that the horses she had ridden before were like fake, and the two were not the same species at all.

As the former king of the wild horses, Pegas is very strong in physique, and two people sitting on their backs can walk as fast as they fly, but their running speed is slightly affected.

During the ride, the soft touch that continued to come from behind made Xin Sheng's expression a little unnatural.

‘Children are developing very fast nowadays.’

Since childhood, he was raised by his tomboy Kassandra, and Natiya has a bit carefree temper.

Moreover, the separation between men and women in ancient Greece was not strict, so she herself had no idea about Xin Sheng's strange feeling.

Since the person who suffers a loss doesn't care, Xin Sheng is too lazy to point out as the enjoyment party, which will make both parties embarrassed.

Under the impact massage of the meat bullets along the way, Pegas took the two to the settlement of the daughter of Artemis.

Daphne had already guessed that Xin Sheng would arrive soon, and immediately rushed over after receiving notification from the sisters guarding the village.

"Welcome to your arrival, beast slaughter."

Daphne hugged Xin Sheng enthusiastically, then took a step back, leading the other daughters of Artemis to bow respectfully to Xin Sheng.

"Uh~ You guys are..."

After taking the fangs of Ermantos' wild boar from Xin Sheng, a strange feeling flashed in Daphne's eyes, as if nostalgic and relieved.

"Beast Slayer, you successfully passed Artemis's 8 hunting trials. According to the regulations of Artemis' daughter, you only need to complete the last trial to become our true leader."

"……ha?"

Xin Sheng didn't expect that the final reward would be this.

‘This name means nothing to me…’

"Davne, you misunderstood what I mean."

Xin Sheng sorted out his ideas, but finally decided to speak out.

"I completed these hunting trials, on the one hand, to improve and test my strength, and on the other hand, to receive the rewards given by the daughter of Artemis, and I have no intention of becoming your leader."

Daphne did not care about Xin Sheng's explanation and continued with a stern look: "This is a rule that was made at the beginning of the establishment of the daughter of Artemis."

"Every era, different powerful beasts will appear in all parts of Greece. So far, no one has been able to kill all the legendary animals of the present in his lifetime. You are the first one."

“The final trial is simple.”

Daphne opened his hands relaxedly and faced Xin Sheng without any precaution.

"Kill me and end the life of the previous generation of leaders with your own hands, and you will complete all the trials of Artemis and become a legend in the history of the organization."

Xin Sheng frowned and said firmly: "I refuse, I have no grudges and you, and I can't do anything."

"Since the final reward does not meet my expectations, just pretend it doesn't exist."

Daphne's originally calm face changed, and the hunters surrounded her behind her also looked bad.

"Beast Slayer! Do you want to tarnish our traditions?!"

Natiya didn't expect that a simple task delivery would suddenly become tense. When Xin Sheng's left hand behind him made a signal implicitly, she immediately understood and took off the sword and shield hanging on Pegas's body and equipment.

Daphne, with an ugly face, stopped the other hunters, and stared at Xin Sheng with a sharp look to give an ultimatum.

"Beast Slayer, I think you are the first person to complete all the trials, I will give you one last chance."

"Finish the final step of the trial, or turn around and leave immediately."

"Once you decide to give up, the daughter of Artemis will regard you as a blasphemer who defiled tradition, and will launch an endless attack once you encounter it."

This threat is not painful to Xin Sheng, who is about to leave the world, and he shrugged indifferently.

"After you, I will not distort my beliefs for the illusory title of leader. You are not the one I should have killed."

"Then leave!"

Daphne barely controlled his anger and shouted in a low voice: "Don't let us see again..."

"Boom!"

Before Daphne could make his last harsh words, a thunderous sound suddenly came from a corner of the village of the daughter of Artemis.

"this……"

He turned around and confirmed the location of the sound. All the hunters, including Daphne, immediately knelt on the ground with pale faces, and put their foreheads on the ground in fear and fear.

"The great hunting goddess, the mistress of the wilderness, your faithful believer asks you to regain your wrath."

"Buzz~"

As if responding to Daphne's prayer, a clear buzzing sound came from the direction that made a loud noise, as if some kind of invitation was being issued.

"Um!"

Natiya suddenly felt a strange sense of restlessness coming from her body, but after careful searching, she found nothing.

Xin Sheng, who was alert behind him, did not notice Natiya's abnormality. The two of them were already ready to evacuate. Daphne, with a surprised face, suddenly called them.

"Wait! Beast slaughter, please wait!"

The change in tone within Daphne's words surprised Xin Sheng quite a bit.

"Is there anything else you have?"

Daphne took a deep breath: "...I still can't accept your blasphemy of tradition, but the goddess we worshiped doesn't seem to care about it."

"He is calling you."

Xin Sheng frowned: "Artemis? Call me?"

‘The Ishu civilization perished more than 70,000 years ago. How could Artemis live…wait?’

Xin Sheng narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, and he suddenly remembered the special function of the Hermes scepter.

‘…It shouldn’t be such a coincidence, right?’

Judging from the performance of Artemis' daughter, Daphne's words should not be false.

These female hunters were lying on the ground in fear and fear, watching the leader Daphne lead Xin Sheng.

Xin Sheng looked back at Natiya, who looked worried: "I'll go and see the situation. If something is wrong, you will immediately ride on Pegas with Dahuang and escape. I will find a way to get out alone."

"Wang!"

The loyal dog was a little dissatisfied with the owner's order, but under Xin Sheng's stern eyes, it could only accept the order, squatted beside Natiya in grievance, and watched Xin Sheng walk into the village with ambition.

Natiya rubbed Dahuang's head and looked into the sky without any trace.

"Don't worry, I believe Xin will not be in fatal danger. He doesn't look like a short-lived person."

...

As he went deep into the village, Xin Sheng was secretly shocked.

More than 200 hunters gathered in this seemingly small village, and even a man could not see it.

Including the animal partners that the female hunters were tamed, Xin Sheng felt a little scared.

Among these animals are many ferocious cats such as bobcats and leopards, and once war begins in the village.

‘How bad is there.’

Fortunately, these hunters all knelt on the ground respectfully, and their animal companions seemed to have felt a special breath, and they lay honestly beside their owner, not daring to show any ferocity.

"Ka~Ka~"

Rhythmic footsteps came from the woods ahead of Xin Sheng and Daphne. This was the only strange movement that Xin Sheng heard on his way deep into the village.

"Crazy~"

A deer with moon-white fur slowly walked out of the forest.

The deer looked at Xin Sheng with a gentle look. She walked to him and slowly lowered her head, as if she was signaling Xin Sheng to ride on him.

"Artemis is on..."

Daphne's heart beat faster and he couldn't help but stroke his chest with his hands.

She had a premonition that she was witnessing a living legend.

Xin Sheng inexplicably stroked the fur on the back of the gentle big white deer, and suddenly saw two familiar scars from the side of its buttocks.

"Carlion deer?"

“Yo~”

After sorting out his mood, Daphnebi stepped aside respectfully.

"Beast Slayer, I can only guide you here. The goddess's mount will take you through the rest of the way."
