The system released three seemingly independent main tasks, but in fact the three lines intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish each other.

Not only Xin Sheng wanted to collect the Artifact of Eden, but the Order Cult, which has huge ambitions, is also searching for clues related to the Artifact.

The connections of the Order God Cult are extremely large, and they are all in the Pan-Hellenic world.

If you want to help either the Peloponnese League or the Delux League win, you will inevitably have a head-on conflict with the Order God Cult.

This secret organization hidden in the dark has penetrated into all aspects of Greek city-states, and both Athens and Spartan leaders have their senior cadres lurking.

‘Athens and Sparta choose one.’

To be honest, Xin Sheng hasn't figured out which side to help.

No side in this war is just, and both sides participating in the war are just for their own interests.

The Deroe League led by Athens gradually became corrupt after the end of the war between Greece and Persia, becoming a tool for Athens to strengthen its hegemony in the Aegean Sea.

From the perspective of Athens, they wanted to end the status quo of the Greek city-states, establish a unified Greek empire, and deal with the powerful enemies around them with a complete attitude.

But Athens' strategy was too radical.

Within 30 years after the end of the Hippopotamian War, Athens' oppression of the allied city-states became increasingly unconcealed. They even directly used the treasury of the allied countries to strengthen themselves, trying to subtly take other city-states as their subordinates.

Once a city-state intends to resist, Athens will suppress it with force, forcefully take over the country's army, and blackmail the defeated city-state.

Many small Greek city-states dared not speak out about Athens' hegemony, but Sparta, whose national strength was second only to Athens, stood up.

During the Hippola War, Sparta made a lot of efforts and won great prestige in the entire Greek world.

If Athens' hegemony continues to expand, it will sooner or later affect Sparta itself.

For his own interests, Sparta called for a Peloponnese alliance to compete with the Athenian-led Deluxe League.

In 460 BC, the First Peloponnese War began, and it was not until 446 BC that the two sides signed an armistice agreement, agreeing to maintain 30 years of peace.

But in fact, peace within Greece did not last that long.

In 431 BC, the beginning of this year when Xin Sheng intervened in the Odyssey world.

The two major forces that have been undergoing small-scale frictions finally broke the peace agreement. Taking the dispute between Thebes and Pilates as an opportunity, the Second Peloponnese War officially began.

Many later generations believed that Greece during the leadership of Athens was the source of Western civilization, and Athens was also respected as the founder of the democratic system.

Under the leadership of Pericre, who respects literature and art, Athens, where various theories are blooming, has indeed cultivated many talents that have been passed down through the ages.

For example, Hippocrates, who is known as the father of medicine by the Western medical community, Socrates, one of the founders of Western philosophy, Herodotus, who is known as the father of history, etc.

But in fact, the classical democracy promoted by Athens is very different from the modern democratic system.

In the words of later generations, Athenian democracy was a typical slave democracy, and only a few people who enjoy Athenian citizenship had democratic power.

Under the laws of Athens, only adult men over the age of eighteen can be considered as enjoying citizenship.

Slaves, Gentiles, children and women are not counted as Athenian citizens.

During the journey to Fokis, in order to make the decision to help which side win the war, Xin Sheng learned about the political system of Athens from Barnabas in detail.

Barnabas once joined the army of Athens and served in the Athenian Navy as a captain.

During a nightly sea battle, the warship of Barnabas was overturned by an unexpected storm.

According to Barnabas, he was attacked by a bloodthirsty pet that Poseidon was tamed in this shipwreck, and one of his eyes was blinded.

Most people regard Barnabas' words as nonsense after suffering a major mental shock, but Barnabas himself believes in this matter.

After surviving from the shipwreck, Barnabas retired from the Athenian army and began to search for clues about mythical creatures, proving that his experience was not an illusion.

Poseidon is a sea god in Greek mythology. When he first heard of Poseidon's pet, Xin Sheng thought Barnabas had encountered an attack from a sea monster.

But Barnabas said that he encountered the Cyclops.

"Cyclops? In the sea?"

Xin Sheng was full of questions, and he didn't understand the relationship between the two.

"Haha! I didn't say it clearly enough."

Barnabas smiled and patted his forehead: "My ship was indeed overturned by a storm. The Cyclops were only encountered when I fled to an island."

"Is it a small island..."

Speaking of this, Xin Sheng has some impressions.

"Where is that island, what's its name?"

Barnabas: "Sisvi Island, on the way from Kefalonia to Megaris, you will pass through that small island."

Xin Sheng silently recorded the information, but he did not plan to land on the island immediately.

First, Xin Sheng has not found the Eden Disc to open the seal, and secondly, he is not ready to challenge the mythical creatures.

"Put the topic of Cyclops aside."

Xin Sheng looked up at the two golden eagles flying freely over the blue sea.

"Barnabas, if you were asked to choose a side between Athens and Sparta, which side would you choose?"

Barnabas said without hesitation: "Of course it's Athens."

"Speak first, I don't give this answer because I am an Athenian."

Barnabas changed his previous free and unrestrained performance and showed a rare solemn expression.

"Authenians are more powerful in pure military strength than Athens, but they are really economic and cultural..."

"Hey! I can't pretend that I didn't hear this."

Cassandra, who had adjusted her mood, walked over from the stern, slapped Barnabas on the back, and staggered the thin old captain.

"The Spartans are indeed unable to compare with Athens in hypocritical poetry and useless philosophical research. However, Spartans, which value discipline, rarely experience corruption among the top leaders of Athenians, and the system of the two kings can also avoid the autocracy of dictators."

Even though she had already left Sparta, in Kassandra's heart, she was still a Spartan.

Hearing that someone raised Athens and belittled Sparta, Kassandra couldn't help but stand up and refute.

Barnabas waved his hand and smiled, "Forget it, I'm not good at arguing with others. I just expressed my own opinions and would not force you to accept my personal opinions."

"Shin, I don't know why you asked this question, but the information I learned from Cassandra and me is undoubtedly one-sided."

Barnabas patted Xin Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Grow your experiences during your trip, fully understand the pros and cons of the two major city-states, and then summarize and draw your own conclusions from an objective perspective."

"look!"

Barnabas changed the subject and raised his hand to the north shore: "Fokis, we're here."
