Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 268 Preparation (Transition)
At night, Zheng Shu lay on the ground in a daze.

He is currently in a room on the second floor of the tavern, but because his body is too huge, there is no bed in the tavern that can fit him, so the waiter simply helped Zheng Shu move the bed out of the room and put him on the floor. A thick blanket was laid on the floor.

It will take some time for Hercules to come here, so Zheng Shu simply stayed in this tavern.

Of course, besides the fact that the food here is not bad, another important reason for choosing to live in a tavern is the owner.

"Are all the gods in ancient Greece so idle? Even the staff in this tavern are demigods." Zheng Shu recalled what he saw today, and he could only feel that the world is full of wonders.

From the moment he entered the door of the tavern, he noticed that if the other guests in the tavern were surprised by his size, then the bartenders and waiters in the tavern were all amazed by his appearance.

Being able to see Zheng Shu's real appearance shows that the concentration of divine blood on the staff here is much higher than that of most of the heroes he met.

And although I haven't seen the owner of the tavern, judging from the divine power remaining in the tavern, the other party should also be a god of the underworld.

Of course, although the staff in the tavern can be regarded as blood heroes, their strength can only be regarded as quite average from Zheng Shu's current perspective.

After all, if Zheng Shu used all his strength, apart from the twelve main gods of Olympus, there were not many gods in ancient Greece who could defeat Zheng Shu.

To put it bluntly, according to Zheng Shu's estimate of his current strength, even if the owner of the tavern really confronts him, he can suppress him.

But... He is a god of the underworld, and he often lives in the city of Tenaron. There is only one god that Zheng Shu can think of: Hermes, the guide god of the undead.

It is also the god who helped Hercules enter the hell passage of Tenaron and guided him.

Thinking of these information, Zheng Shu simply stayed in this hotel.With this god here, Zheng Shu only needs to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the tavern owner without worrying that Hercules will miss him after he comes to this city.

……

……

"Brother Zheng Shu, I heard that Hercules is coming to our city soon!" On this day, the drunk alcoholic drank his wine as usual, and then he lay down on the table and shared his wine with the surrounding customers. knowledge.

"I haven't heard from him for so long. I thought this Hercules was scared, but I didn't expect him to dare to come here."

"If you think about it, you will know that the entrance to hell in our city is the most famous. If you want to enter hell alive, you must enter from here. But will the adults guarding the temple really allow him to enter? Didn't they say that the temple was built? Is the purpose strictly prohibiting anyone from trespassing in hell?"

"He is a famous hero, so he must be different from us drunkards..."

The tavern was full of chaotic voices, and this group of drunkards who had a few drinks even during the day were discussing this exciting event together.

After all, there was no convenient information dissemination system in ancient Greece. In addition to drinking, ordinary people basically lived by eating melons in their spare time.

During the discussion, some people even put down their wine glasses and rushed out of the city one after another. After all, if they could really see the face of that great hero, they would have enough bragging rights for the next six months.

However, Zheng Shu did not follow the crowd to the city gate, because he sensed that the owner of the tavern had been staying in the tavern and never left. the behavior of.

Sure enough, after the people in the tavern had almost run away, the waiter who had been smiling sweetly suddenly closed the door of the tavern with a solemn face, and then the three demigods in the tavern, including the chef, stood aside respectfully as if What are you waiting for.

Only then did Zheng Shu stand up unhurriedly, and tidied up his clothes to show respect for the god who guards the city.

While Zheng Shu was arranging his clothes, a thin-looking figure slowly walked out from the back kitchen.

The aura on the opponent's body was not as fierce as those main gods that Zheng Shu had seen before, and it could even be said to be very inconspicuous. If the aura he felt from him was not the same as before, Zheng Shu didn't even dare to be sure. Bit is a god.

However, the divine aura in his body that seemed to want to put everything into eternal sleep still allowed Zheng Shu to clarify his identity: Hermes.

Hermes, the god of guiding the undead, is a deity who specializes in guiding the undead to hell. In a sense, he has been here all the time, which is very in line with his priesthood.

After all, the Age of Gods did not have the concept of reincarnation. Transferring the undead to hell was done purely to maintain order in the world, so the passage to hell in Tenaron City is not a natural landscape.

From the perspective of the gods, this passage can even be called the "official" passage from the world to hell.

Another duty of Hermes, who guides the undead to hell, is to guard it.

"Benevolent Demon King Zheng Shu, I have heard of your name of benevolence, but I did not expect you to be so powerful." Hermes said.He nodded very gently towards Zheng Shu, who looked like an ordinary old man.

Zheng Shu's face darkened when he heard Hermes addressing him at the beginning, but he didn't reach out to hit the smiling face, so he could only nod helplessly: "I think you are the god Hermes, really. To tell you the truth, I came here this time to be able to go to hell through that passage.”

"Is that so? I'm sorry. Generally speaking, my task is to prevent the living from going to hell. Only the undead can go to hell..." Before Hermes finished speaking, Zheng Shu seemed to be inadvertently stroking stroke his hair.

It's just that in the process of stroking his hair, the muscles in Zheng Shu's arms suddenly became abnormally swollen for some reason, and even the magic power inside his body began to surge, shrouding the entire tavern in a strong sense of oppression.

The muscles like steel bars kept rolling on his arms, and it looked like he could kill a certain god with a single punch.

So Hermes changed his words very wisely and continued: "...Of course, a hero like you naturally has special privileges. After all, I also admire you very much. But I want to remind you that the erosion of hell will not care Your identity, if you are not careful, may even stay there forever because of the erosion of the breath of hell."

Zheng Shu nodded satisfied with Hermes' acquaintance: "Then, is Lord Hermes going to find Hercules now?"

"That's right, I like heroes like Hercules very much. After all, his bravery has spread to all the city-states. Presumably his soul will shine as brightly as his bravery." Hermes laughed dryly. .

He doesn't dare to say that he appeared before to give Hercules a blow. After all, even Zheng Shu, who is not known for his strength, has such strength, and that Hercules, who is known for his bravery, may It's even more terrifying.

It is a trivial matter for them to go to hell. Anyway, in the Age of Gods, it is not particularly rare for living people to smuggle into hell. After all, there are only one or two living creatures in hell.

This was because he was accidentally beaten up because he didn't agree with the other party. As an immortal god, Hermes would really die from the social level.

"Are the current human heroes strong enough to this level?" Because of serious self-doubt, Hermes didn't dare to make any more claims, and very quickly brought Zheng Shu to the front of Hercules who was heading to the city .

"Ah...brother Zheng Shu?!" As soon as they met, Hercules' surprised voice came over.

Although Zheng Shu's appearance has changed a lot in such a long time, Heracross has already remembered Zheng Shu's aura.After all, for him, it was the first time he had encountered a strong enemy who could stand up to him since he was a child.

Therefore, after seeing Zheng Shu falling from the sky, Hercules was only slightly stunned for a moment before recalling this friend he met in Nemea.

"Hercules, long time no see. It seems that you have become a lot stronger." Zheng Shu also greeted with a smile.

What he said was not a compliment. The moment he saw Heracles, Zheng Shu couldn't believe his eyes. recognize.

Apart from other things, in terms of strength alone, Zheng Shu can still ensure that his hard power should be comparable to that of Heracles when he parted from Hercules.

However, after Chiron's arduous training and obtaining the God's Armament made by Hephaestus, Zheng Shu met Hercules again but felt a terrifying sense of oppression.

The speed of the opponent's strength improvement far exceeded Zheng Shu's imagination. Before that, he also speculated that Hercules, who had completed the twelve trials, might just touch the edge of Olympus' main god-level strength.

But now it seems that if he is really allowed to complete the No. 12 trial, then even Heracross's strength among the main gods can be regarded as outstanding.

This……

Zheng Shu would not believe such nonsense if simply completing some trials could really increase the individual's strength to this level.

To put it bluntly, if you can get such a large increase in strength every time you complete a trial, then someone has already rushed to complete these trials.

Apart from the changes in strength, the biggest shock Heracross brought to Zheng Shu was probably the divinity in him.

Zheng Shu can be sure that when he met Hercules before, the other party's body did not have any divinity at all.

And now when we meet again, the strength of divinity in Heracross has even surpassed that of ordinary gods, reaching a level close to the twelve main gods of Olympus.

According to speculation, if Hercules completes all the trials, his divinity strength will even directly surpass all ordinary gods and reach the level of the main god. This growth rate almost makes Zheng Shu think that Hercules himself also has Goldfinger's strengthening.

"Hahahaha, I also found that I have become stronger, but I don't know what's going on. It just keeps getting stronger for no reason." Hercules smiled boldly, but what he said made people think To beat him up, "By the way, the god next to you is that adult."

"This is Hermes, the god of guiding the undead. The reason why he came to see you this time is to help you enter hell through the passage next to the city." Zheng Shu took the initiative to introduce Hercules one time.

And Hermes also glanced at Zheng Shu secretly, his eyes were full of gratitude, because although Zheng Shu's statement would make him look a little out of business, at least it allowed him to keep his face as a god.

After meeting Hercules, Hermes couldn't help sweating when he remembered his previous thoughts. He actually wanted to teach a strong man of this level a lesson.

Although the overall strength of Hercules is still a bit behind that of the main god, it is not something that ordinary gods like him can afford.

Of course, in order to maintain his image on the surface, Hermes still has to maintain that mysterious posture: "I have heard about your achievements, and I appreciate your strength very much, so I am willing to help you...Three heads The dog lies at the mouth of the River Styx, and no soul can reach it except through the capital of Lord Hades. And if you have no one to guide you, you will be lost in the endless mist of hell."

"Thank you very much for your help." Hercules saluted Hermes in a respectful tone, not at all looking down on this god because he was stronger than the other party.

Hermes looked at Hercules in surprise, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zheng Shu next to him with an inexplicable smile on his face: "I didn't expect that Chiron could train his students so well, Seeing you, I even have the urge to throw my child to Chiron and ask him to help teach him."

"Oh?" Hercules' eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Zheng Shu, "Brother Zheng Shu, have you also become a student of the teacher?"

"Yeah, maybe it's more appropriate for me to call you senior brother now." Zheng Shu didn't deny it.

"Hahahaha! That's great! We must have a good drink!" Hercules laughed happily. It seemed that he was very happy that Zheng Shu, a friend who fit his temperament very well, could become a classmate.

Unfortunately, Hercules' plan to get Zheng Shu drunk failed, because Hermes directly took the two of them to the edge of the passage of hell.
