Chapter 44 Legendary Animals

"Wild boar?"

After Daphne said the content of the task commission, Xin Sheng was in a trance for a moment, and he seemed to have recalled something.

‘By the way, this is the starting place for hunting legendary animals.’

Legendary animals are several powerful beasts scattered throughout Greece, and some places even call them divine beasts.

These legendary animals are more powerful than ordinary wild animals, but they are not as powerful as they are.

They do not have any supernatural abilities, but only give priority to the beasts they possess to the extreme.

Fokis owns one of the legendary animals, which is called the Calydon wild boar by the daughter of Artemis.

When talking about Kaludong wild boar, Xin Sheng first thought of the famous hunter who had hunted it in the legend, Atalante in Greek mythology.

However, this Calyodon wild boar from Fokis must have nothing to do with Atalante, but the daughter of Artemis specially gave her a name that appeared in the myth.

Xin Sheng thought about it for a while and asked, "Can I ask first what the compensation is?"

"Can."

Daphne walked into the temple and after a series of kneeling ceremonies, she respectfully took a hunting bow with a strange shape from the shrine.

"It is it, the Bow of Artemis, who successfully hunts the Calydon wild boars, are eligible for it."

Xin Sheng narrowed his eyes at the hunting bow with sharp barbs on the surface.

‘Can the bow be worshipped by the believers of the hunting goddess, it should not be an ordinary person.’

"I have taken over your entrustment. Is there a specified deadline for completion?"

"No."

Daphne shook his head: "Any time, as long as you can bring back the teeth of the Calydon wild boar, I will hand you the reward."

Only with enough time to prepare can Xin Sheng be more confident.

Daphne saluted Xin Sheng solemnly: "May the brilliance of Artemis illuminate your night road, mercenary, I will always be waiting for your good news in the temple."

...

"Caludon Wild Boar..."

While riding down the mountain, Xin Sheng began to think about how to complete the hunt.

On the way here before, Xin Sheng was very tired.

There was no need to hurry when returning. Xin Sheng let it walk slowly down the mountain with leisurely steps, and Dahuang also happily followed the horse in small steps.

In a world where I am a legend, Xin Sheng has been living in the city. For a hunting dog like Dahuang, such an environment is relatively cramped and cannot let it go.

The wilderness of the Odyssey world is full of undeveloped primitive natural scenery. Not only is the rhubarb like a fish in water here, but the heroic eagle cry comes from Daedalus, who is flying in the sky.

"Cry!"

Daedalus, who had dived from a high altitude, aimed at a buck, and the severe sense of crisis targeted by death made the buck panic.

But its starting speed is like a turtle crawling in Daedalus' eyes.

Adjust the dive angle, and the ferocious golden eagle landed accurately in front of the bucks, and their two sharp hind paws blinded the bucks' eyes.

The buck, who screamed, fell to the ground in a mess because he could not see the way forward. Dahuang rushed out excitedly with Xin Sheng's acquiescence.

The survival instinct made the buck desperately try to stand up again. Daedalus did not give it a chance. His sharp eagle beak attacked like lightning, pecking in from the buck's blind eye sockets, directly hurting the prey's brain.

When Dahuang shook his tongue and rushed to the prey, the poor stag was brain dead, and only her body was still twitching like reflexes.

Dahuang felt a little disappointed and shouted a few unhappy at Daedalus, who was raising his head.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

"Shh~"

Hearing Xin Sheng's whistle, Daedalus, who had no intention of seeing the stupid dog, took advantage of the opportunity to take off and landed gracefully on the owner's flat left arm.

Xin Sheng encouraged him to gently stroke Daedalus' smooth back feather: "Beautiful work, our food is settled again today."

"Spit~"

The indignant Dahuang bit off the buck's neck like a vent of anger, officially ending the buck's life.

Even if Xin Sheng and Natiya were counted, they could not finish eating the meat of a whole deer.

The fresh meat in this era is difficult to preserve and is easy to deteriorate.

Xin Sheng skillfully decomposed the deer body with a hunting knife, and according to the convention, threw a large piece of ribs to the rhubarb that he had been unable to wait for, and left the best tenderloin to Daedalus.

In order to prevent the bloody smell of deer corpses from attracting carnivorous beasts, they accidentally injured passers-by.

After Xin Sheng decomposed the venison meat, he worked with rhubarb to dig a big hole on the spot and buried the bloody deer corpse in.

When Xin Sheng came to the outskirts of Delphi slowly, Natiya stood among the two gangs of farmers, with a bitter face and an expression of difficulty in deciding.

"Natya."

Hearing Xin Sheng's call, Natiya looked up in surprise.

"Xin, you completed the task so quickly... Hum? Why is there a smell of blood? Are you injured?"

"That's not."

Xin Sheng took off the cloth bag hanging on the horse and threw it to Natiya: "Dadalos hunted a wild deer, which was the fresh meat it provided with friends. We will eat roasted venison tonight."

"Hehe~"

Natiya was not afraid of the bloody cloth bag on her hand, but tears of emotion were left on the corner of her mouth.

"Thanks to the passing wild deer for providing us with food, now we have a good time."

Due to Xin Sheng's proposal to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the two have been busy completing commissions to make money in the past half month. They have lived a simple life. The food is mainly fruits and lacks the sufficient nutrition provided by meat.

Daedalus can go out and look for food on his own every day. The loyal Taihang dog is accustomed to following his owner every day. Only when Xin Sheng receives the task of collecting herbs and hunting tears can he perform a tooth sacrifice.

Seeing the bloody cloth bag in Natiya's hand, two groups of farmers who were like unruly before suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

This was done on purpose by Xin Sheng.

After all, it was the first time that Natiya went out alone to complete the commission, and it was still a troublesome thing that required brain-to-use mediation.

These farmers who fought to seize the ownership of water sources have long been no longer the first time they committed crimes. They are all old fryes, and it is really hard to settle if they have no experience.

Xin Sheng's arrival gave the farmers a warning, letting them know that Natiya, who seemed to be beautiful and weak, is not easy to mess with, and it will be much more convenient to deal with it next.

In the evening, Xin Sheng led Ma and Natiya back to Kira Town, and returned the horse to Quinella, a hunter who was still recovering from the hotel.

Influenced by Kassandra, Natiya was also a little fan of money. She counted repeatedly with the Drakma she got from the client, with a happy smile on her face.

The client this time was the official manager of the suburbs of Delphi, and the reward was quite good. The two of them also became familiar with the official staff who managed Fokis.

Under Xin Sheng's seemingly difficult cliché, the Spartan officials in a good mood accidentally revealed some important information.

Recently, many new faces have appeared in Delphi City, and the senior officials of Fokis asked all officials to turn a blind eye to these people's actions.

‘It seems that the assembly of the Order God Church is about to begin, and members of the God Church from all over Greece are gradually gathering near the city of Delphi.’

The second news is related to the battlefield situation, from the front line of the battle between the Deluxe League and the Peloponnese League - Megalis.

Sparta defeated the Athenian defenders in the Battle of Megalis, took Megalis into his pocket, and further approached the Attica area where the city of Athens is located.

‘Sparta has won, and Kassandra is about to take a boat to Kira Town to submit the mission. Elpino, who received the news, should also return in the near future.’

‘The performance is finally about to open.’
