Chapter 32 Are you teaching me to do things?

The humans chasing Chiron are Triptolemus and Linkos.

Compared with before, the temperament of the two who have experienced the war has changed a lot.

Lin Kesi, who was wearing iron armor all over his body, was obviously more violent. He was already red-eyed. Swinging knives at his own people on the battlefield changed his thinking and distorted his mind.

On the battlefield, he has experienced countless deaths and rebirths, and his intuition has become extremely terrifying.

Even if Triptolemos didn't tell him the identity of the centaur in front of him, Linkos still had a guess.

"He's not a monster, but a god, a poor, poor god."

Linkos could no longer hold back the butcher knife in his hand.

Because he was about to slay a god.

After a long wait, he finally took the first step of revenge, and he will soon have substantial gains.

The knife in his hand didn't have a scabbard, and Linkos felt that he didn't need that kind of useless thing.

Killing is like this, just like what he asked of himself, never look back, and there is no chance to turn back, because turning back means weakness, and weakness will let go, but if you let go, what is the meaning of what you have paid and lost in the past .

He is a gambler with nothing, and he can only expect a shocking comeback to win everything back in one fell swoop.

Linkos caressed the back of the knife, looking at Chiron as if looking at a dead person.

There was dried blood on the knife, because Linkos had never cleaned it, and the long sword that he had followed for many years had been abandoned by him.

On the battlefield, a knife kills faster and lasts longer than a sword.

He walked forward, the blade locked on Chiron's throat.

Linkos wants to cut off the head of the monster god in front of him like cutting off the head of the same race. He doesn't care if the other party will resist, he will not die, and he can fail countless times.

"One knife, just one knife." He said silently in his heart.

But Triptolemos stopped Linkos.

He has also been baptized by war, without the rage of Linkos, he looks much more stable, but this kind of stability makes people feel frightened from the bottom of his heart, and he also seems very indifferent.

He greeted Chiron like an old friend meeting again.

"Meet you again, Doctor Chiron."

The gods have their own pattern and demeanor, and Chiron doesn't see any panic on his face, instead he is thinking about joking.

"If possible, I don't want to see you at all."

"You are like a man chasing Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty. Either you will die, or you will be favored by the goddess of beauty to fill your lower body desires."

"Otherwise you will never know what giving up is."

Triptolemus answered him: "This just shows that the goddess of beauty is worthy of her appearance."

Shaking his head, Chiron told Triptolemus, "But none of this is what you want."

"When I met you in Eleusis, you were very humble."

"I can see that you love your mother very much."

Triptolemus interrupted Chiron suddenly, mentioning his mother, and something called escape appeared on his impassive face.

He wanted to skip the subject.

"What you say makes no sense."

"Doctor Chiron, you helped me, I don't want to kill you."

"As long as you tell me all the secrets about the gods, I will let you go."

Triptolemos revealed the Deathrattle Blade, and he emphasized:
"I have this ability."

Facing the deadly Deathrattle Blade, Chiron took two steps back.

"It's not your power, things from powerful gods are not so easy to get."

"You know, all the things bestowed by fate have been secretly marked with prices."

"Triptolemus, you have become a chess piece, and a chess piece cannot jump out of the chessboard."

Triptolemus: "But I have power, don't I, and this power is real."

"Even if you are a god, you must obey my conditions."

"Doctor Chiron, make your choice."

Chiron sighed and took off the longbow on his back.

"I do not have choice."

"Being killed by you is just returning to the underworld, and you can return to the human world at any time."

"But if you get involved in disputes that you shouldn't be involved in, the result will be worse than death."

Triptolemos had some headaches, and Chiron acted like a rascal who didn't get into anything. It seemed that he was destined to return empty-handed.

But Linkos on the side suddenly yelled, "He's lying."

"After going to the underworld, it is impossible for him to return to the human world."

"He's also afraid of death."

Chiron looked at him in surprise.

Indeed, Chiron, who has no authority, can be called the weakest god in history. He cannot independently enter and leave the underworld and the world. He is weak and cannot get the attention of Hades, and he doesn't even have anyone to ask for help.

If he can, he doesn't want to die, because that means that if there is no special opportunity, he will be with the undead forever.

Chiron looked at Linkos and said, "You have a keen intuition, you must have an extraordinary past."

He simply discarded the longbow: "But you are wrong, I am afraid of death, but it is not impossible to die."

"Death is not the end for me, but the beginning of a new life."

"Although the quality of life in the underworld is worse, it is much better than being involved in disputes."

"You guys do it, so I can build a shack in the underworld sooner."

"After all, there are so many dead people now, and it's hard to find open space in the underworld."

Triptolemus was a little puzzled, he asked Chiron: "Doctor Chiron, you are also a god."

"Unlike us mortals who have received external forces, you have eternal life."

"Why are you afraid of other gods?"

"Why don't you cooperate with me?"

"I can assure you that our conversation will not be known to anyone else, and I will spend my short life keeping it a secret."

Chiron sighed, pointing to the burns on his body: "Did you see it?"

"The gap between God and God is far greater than you imagine."

"It's like the person standing behind you, just throwing an artifact casually, can drive me away."

Pointing to the sky, he told the two of them, "Do you think I'm useless?"

"But a long time ago, I was as ambitious as you."

"At that time, you were not born yet, and humans in this era have not yet been born."

"It is the humans of the Silver Age who live on the land."

"The sun is scorching the earth, so I will challenge the sun."

"I can't forget the eyes of the man above the sun. It's the eyes of the ants."

"He just lowered the sun a little and I was facing death."

"Now I don't think about it anymore. I understand that what I used to chase is just a dream, and I am asking for trouble."

"To live well today and every day is what I should pursue."

Triptolemus was silent, and after a while he said, "Doctor Chiron, you should go."

Chiron laughed: "It seems that I convinced you."

He walked towards the sea, suddenly turned his head and said to Triptolemus behind him:
"Young man, although I don't know what you want to do, it must be very difficult."

"Anything connected with a god is not easy."

"Don't use your insignificant power to compare with the gods, you can't compare."

"Only by maintaining a good attitude and making decisions calmly at all times can you have a chance."

Speaking of this, he showed a bright smile, and his figure gradually disappeared into the sea.

"It's great to be young, there are always infinite possibilities."

Behind him, Triptolemus tightly held Linkos' hand holding the knife, and he shouted at Chiron's back:

"You'd better not come to land again, at least, don't let me find out."

"I don't know if I will be able to remain as calm as I am now next time."

"I can listen to you tell those old stories."

Chiron waved his hand, and his figure completely disappeared into the sea.

Seeing this, Triptolemos let go of his hand, and Linkos, who was able to break free, was extremely angry.

"Triptolemus, are you crazy, we were just able to kill the gods."

"Because of your weakness, we lost the most precious opportunity."

Triptolemos showed the Deathrattle Blade, but looked at Linkos coldly: "Call me the king."

Linkos looked at him unwillingly, but finally chose to bow his head: "The king."

Triptolemos embarked on the return journey with satisfaction, and he said to Linkos behind him:
"Don't teach me how to do things, you are not qualified enough."
