Greece brings evildoers.

Chapter 10 Please be a human being!
"Isn't it just an upgrade? What's the fuss about it?"

Faced with Circe's surprise, Lorne habitually rolled his eyes and answered somewhat casually.

"The key is that you only lived sixteen years!"

Circe involuntarily raised her voice a few degrees, pointing her fingers at her traitor.

"I reached the gold rank when I was just twelve years old, and then in just four years, I reached the golden peak. I have never heard of any human being being promoted so quickly!"

The great witch made some calculations unintentionally, and became more and more frightened as she spoke, and even looked at her student and adopted son in a strange way.

"No, more than that!
Even the gods and monsters of the Oceanus Sea and the hybrid titans on several nearby islands are not so outrageous!
I even doubt, are you really human? "

Under Circe's sharp inspection, Lorne coughed slightly and his eyes were a little wandering.

"Maybe it's just luck."

According to the rules of mythology and magic, mysterious power often follows the following characteristics:
——The older it is, the more mysterious it is, and the more mysterious it is, the more powerful it is.

When the world was still in chaos, ancient beings called "gods" were born from the purest source of matter.

Absorbing magic factors and controlling natural rules are simpler than breathing for them, and they are innate powers.

Therefore, the first batch of beings have the highest starting point and almost endless room for growth.

But as the sky and the earth separate, the sun, moon and stars gather to rise and set, time and space are cut, the concept of life, death and prosperity takes shape, and the framework of the world will gradually become stable.

During this process, species on the ground changed and multiplied batch after batch.

The bloodline that they used to be able to absorb magic power and connect to the source of essence will be continuously degraded and diluted, and the upper limit of growth will also be gradually lowered as the world structure becomes stable.

Even if they are different myths, their descriptions of the origin world basically have similar similarities.

Initially, the air was filled with high concentrations of etheric factors, food could be seen everywhere, milk and honey flowed on the ground, and all things grew freely.

Moreover, the high-purity energy gave birth to creatures like gods, and everything was as dreamy and beautiful as colorful soap bubbles.

However, as the world is finalized and the rules are stabilized, this "soap bubble" will gradually squeeze out the dreamy and unsustainable ingredients and settle towards the real surface.

As the mystery gradually fades, the infinitely malleable age of the gods shrinks and is reduced to a fixed and real human world.

Similarly, in ancient Greek mythology, gods appeared first, and then, under the leadership of gods, humans were created.

Therefore, the ancient Greeks divided the evolutionary civilization of mankind into five eras based on the group's ability and starting point, namely the Golden Age, the Silver Age, the Bronze Age, the Heroic Age, and the Iron Age.

The order between them represents the different distances from God.

Later, similar concepts were introduced into the field of basic mysticism, and the four levels of black iron, bronze, silver, and gold became the symbols of individual strength in the early stage.

Currently, Lorne has reached the peak of gold at the speed of a rocket in just sixteen years, which is astonishing.

This level of cheating would be considered cheating even among hybrid titans and divine-blood heroes, let alone ordinary Greek city-states.

You know, in the army of Greek city-states, those with silver level are the absolute backbone, and those with gold level can basically directly serve as the commander of the legion.

The [demigods] above this are often the city builders and kings used by a city-state to prop up its appearance.

But they are basically young and middle-aged, and some even reach three digits in age before they can achieve such achievements.

Therefore, in terms of growth rate alone, Lorne simply does not look like a human being.

Of course, he does not seem to be a human being in the normal sense.

Lorne lowered his eyes to look at his palm lines, his deep gaze seemed to pierce the crystal skin, and saw the pale golden blood flowing in the veins. ——The blood of the God King, the heir of Zeus.

His extraordinary bloodline gave him unparalleled talent for cultivation.

But at the same time, something happened to him right after he was born, and he almost survived. He could only hide on this isolated island overseas, living in fear every day.

Fortunately, sixteen years of training finally gave him some ability to protect himself.

But this little support can at best ensure that he has some security in the human city-state. If he wants to gain a foothold in the Oceanus Sea where gods, monsters and hybrid titans are everywhere, he must at least become a demigod.

Of course, even if he is a demigod, for Lorne, it is only the beginning of a journey of thousands of miles.

After all, the person he messed with was Zeus, the god-king who currently rules all of Greece.

With the few pounds I have now, let alone encountering world-class missions such as [Olympus Elegy], [Wrath of Zeus], ​​[War of the Gods], etc., even if I encounter [Argo Expedition], Epic dungeons such as [Trojan War], [Twelve Trials], etc., once you accidentally collide with the real gods wearing vests from the lower world, as well as a lot of legendary demigods hiding in the nooks and crannies, , this is also a very risky challenge for him.

If you are not careful, you should still kneel down.

As for gold, or the question of gold peak, I'm afraid it's just the difference between kneeling early and kneeling late.

Thinking of the suffocating thunder that raged across the sky that night sixteen years ago, Lorne's heart began to tremble like a conditioned reflex.

This feeling of having no control over your fate is too bad.

Not enough, far from enough!
The sense of crisis that was like a tarsal maggot made Lorn no longer happy about being promoted, and he turned to look at his teacher seriously.

"I have reached the golden peak now, how can I become a demigod next?"

"We've reached this point, and you're still not satisfied?"

Circe looked at her student in front of her in astonishment, somewhat incomprehensible.

"Do these boring and troublesome things like studying and practicing practice really fascinate you so much?"

"There's no such thing as obsession..."

Lorne shook his head, his eyes deep and distant.

"Just because learning may be the simplest thing in the world, your efforts will be rewarded, and your hard work will yield results..."

——And this is the only thing I can do at the moment.

He added silently in his heart, then gathered his thoughts and looked at his teacher who seemed a little dazed again, and brought the topic back on track.

"Tell me, what should I do?"

Hearing the call, Circe shook her head and came out of her trance. However, she did not answer directly. Instead, she asked a meaningful question.

"Do you know why the first four levels of strength in the mysterious system are only [Black Iron], [Bronze], [Silver], and [Gold], but not [Demigod]?"

Lorne frowned and thought for a moment before answering with some uncertainty.

"Because [demigod] is fundamentally different from the first four stages?"

Surprise flashed across Circe's eyes, but there was not much surprise on her face.

After all, having been with this student for a long time, I have become somewhat accustomed to his overly mature mind and extraordinary insight.
