This also means. The mythical era returns! Heroes, demigods, will once again appear on the Greek continent. Artemis had no way to change any of this, so she could only choose to come down to earth, hoping to build up her own sphere of influence in the current chaotic world and re-recruit those female hunters who believed in her. (I saw some complaints before, so here is a reminder that Atalanta in FGO is not Artemis. Atalanta is an ancient Greek hero and a huntress. There is relevant evidence to show that Atalanta is Artemis' partner, and Artemis is the ancient Greek moon goddess and hunting goddess, so these two are not the same character) Apollo, who liked to play with humans, cultivated people like the King of Thracian, and did not care whether his oracle was a person of noble character. As a result, the King of Thracian was cruel and ruthless. Anyone who obeyed him would be enslaved by him, and anyone who disobeyed him would be killed or driven away by him. Countless Thracians left their homes, hoping to live somewhere else. The result of hundreds of thousands of Thracians leaving their homes was that the coastal city-states of the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea had more and more conflicts with the Thracians. Likewise, the Thracian king was at war with the Scythians and the Getes. If, the Thracian king defeated the Scythians and unified northern Thrace. Then, what will greet the Greek world will be the Thracian king commanding an army of 100,000 and his terrifying rule. Artemis couldn't just sit back and watch.
His own father, Zeus, didn't care at all. Therefore, Artemis could only take care of it herself. She came down to the mortal world and found a female hunter who was talented, had strong fighting ability, and was very devout in her faith. She trained her to be her oracle. Now, this hero nicknamed "Sun Devouring Wolf" is leading the Scythians and the Getes to resist the attack of the Thracian king. Still, Artemis hoped. Able to find the whereabouts of Athena. Get to the bottom of the matter. However, she always felt that this might be a difficult goal to achieve. Fifteen years have passed... If Athena has really disappeared into space as Apollo said, then it is bad news for Artemis. However, Artemis now has no idea that Athena has indeed disappeared, but has been replaced by the girl Hilde who inherited Athena's body and became the King of Byzantium. Although the two do not know each other's existence now, fate will one day bring the two together, but that is a story for the future. postscript Friends meeting for the first time, meeting for the first time. Long time no see, my friend, long time no see. This is the law of parity non-conservation, also called a green fox. Thank you for reading this. As one of the few works on ancient Greek mythology and history in SF, I am very satisfied with the popularity I have now. To be honest, this is much more popular than the one I wrote about the pseudo-girl prince. At that time, the pseudo-girl prince was interesting after eating for 8 days, but the collection was only more than 2500, while this one is now almost 4000. Actually, I don't have the habit of writing an afterword anymore. After all, the new novels updated on the Internet are still different from the light novels we usually read. As someone who has been writing SF for 9 and a half years and reading light novels for 12 years, I always feel that it is a pity that after writing a new book, I finally finished the first volume and it has reached a stage of completion but I didn't write an afterword. So if you don't want to read the afterword, you can skip it directly, but if you are willing to give me some time, you can also listen to my nonsense. If this book is from the beginning to the end, I will only write an afterword (the thank you for the release does not count). The essence of this novel is actually a novel that makes me happy. I like history very much, but I don’t know much about the history of ancient Greece. Since I started studying philosophy, I have learned a lot about ancient Greek philosophy, but I can only say that I know a little about this period of history. Last year, I suddenly had an idea in my mind that I wanted to write a novel similar to ancient Greek mythology. I didn’t put this idea into action at the time because I didn’t know much about ancient Greece. So from that time on, I bought a lot of books about ancient Greek history to systematically understand everything that happened at that time. Gradually, as I learned more, I wanted to write such a story more and more. In fact, before writing this book, I had a certain plan for its popularity. It is impossible to have extremely high popularity like those mainstream SF works, but if it can capture the hearts of a small number of readers and satisfy their reading experience, then my book will be considered a success. I am now a full-time author. In my future plans, I will write three books at the same time. Some people have worriedly asked me whether I would abandon this book. I can assure you that, except for policy reasons, I will definitely not abandon this book. I will continue to write until it is finished. I have already determined the specific outline and have an idea of the ending of the story. My last work was the pseudo-girl webpage. I have written more than 500 million words now, and it will be completed with only a few hundred thousand words left. I am also one of the most persistent authors in SF. Now it is in the painful period of SF type transformation. As an author who has been writing here for 9 and a half years, I can say that I have personally watched SF transform from a small website step by step to what it is now. And I also successfully caught the express train and successfully launched a book three years ago, embarking on the road of professional author.
But it is undeniable that SF is still in another transition period. Many authors of the same period as me have very average performance in their new books, and even can't even support themselves. Many authors finally gave up writing and turned to work in real life. Their new books were gradually abandoned by the times. This is an inevitable thing. Including me, in a sense, I was also abandoned by the gaffe. Although the pseudo-female prince has been rectified, it is completely different from last year's situation today. New readers now have no interest in reading the slower-paced farming literature of the pseudo-female prince. As for me, my second and third new books will be changed, and I will try my best to make my works more in line with the preferences of current readers. This is a basic quality that a commercial writer must have. If I cannot adapt, it is inevitable that I will be abandoned by the website and readers. I have no complaints about this. If I really can do everything with one trick, and the style of one book can support myself for decades, this is impossible. But I also have my own little selfishness, and this book is my selfishness. Regardless of how well this book performs or whether it is popular, it is at least a story that I like from the bottom of my heart. You can say that I wrote it for myself. I also feel that in today's SF, works like mine that have a very slow pace and take me more than an hour to look up information can also attract some readers who share the same hobbies as me. I can assure you here that no matter what happens, no matter what the performance of my other works is, as long as this book still has readers who love this work and are willing to support me, I will keep writing until the end, until I give the characters in the story a perfect ending. Anyway, thank you readers for your support. I will continue to strive for excellence. Write this work to the best of your ability. If you have any questions, you can add my private QQ 634615488, or QQ group 611909556. I am basically online in the morning, and in the afternoon and evening, I should be studying wholeheartedly to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, so I basically don’t go on QQ. Then, in order to solicit articles, I opened a second new book. The style is different from this one. It is a pseudo-girl reversal article with a light-hearted and funny style. The name is "Apprentice, please don't, I really don't have a drop left". I hope that those who are interested can give me some support. Thank you~ Anyway, thank you all for your support. Aspasia returns to the first chapter When the city of Byzantium had been relieved from the pressure of the Thracians. Winter has also arrived in Greece. There was no snow in the warm Mediterranean. After all, it was not an ice age. People living in Athens did not even need any special measures to keep warm in order to survive the summer. The warm and humid winter brought by the Mediterranean climate made Athens covered with a layer of light rain and fog. The large olive groves and wheat fields outside the city were also moistened by the rain in time. It must be said that this year would be another good year if there were no war. Pericles stood in his palace. He was preoccupied. "Pericles! Come out!" "War criminals!" Outside their palaces, the protesting Athenians gathered together. Although these Athenians were a minority in the whole of Athens, and they were not members of the Citizens' Assembly or held any official positions, many of them were idle vagrants and poor people, but their gathering together to denounce Pericles' behavior still gave the archon a headache. Pericles was already 56 years old, and after this winter, he was an old man, and he was not too young in Athens. "master." At this time, a maid walked over quickly. "Madam is back." "She's back? Oh my god, let her come over here." The so-called lady is naturally Pericles's favorite person, Aspasia. Pericles had not seen his lover and aide, Aspasia, for a long time. After all, the situation in Miletus was not very good recently, so Aspasia returned to her hometown to manage her business in Miletus. Now, Aspasia finally returned to Athens from Miletus, which was undoubtedly good news for the troubled Pericles. However, Pericles was still worried about one issue in his heart, and that was Hilde's matter. I dealt with Hilde myself, and Aspasia didn't know how she would react.
However, at this point, Pericles was not afraid. So Pericles had the slaves prepare snacks and fruits in the living room, waiting for Aspasia to arrive. Soon, Aspasia came here quickly with a gloomy face. She had brown hair, like the trunk of a laurel tree, with a faint direction. The blue silk on her body, matched with gold jewelry, highlighted her elegance. Aspasia, known as the most beautiful woman in Miletus, was indeed irresistible. When she appeared in front of Pericles, the whole mansion seemed to be filled with a faint fragrance. "Oh, my Aspasia." Pericles stood up quickly. But at this time, Aspasia said unhappily: "Everyone else, get out!" "Yes! Madam." Amid Aspasia's roar, the slaves fled. And Pericles smiled and said, "Aspasia, what has made you so angry?" "How dare you tell me that, Pericles? I didn't expect you to be such a vicious person!" Aspasia stood in front of Pericles and said angrily, "Hilde, she is only a 15-year-old girl. You, you actually let her go to Byzantium. Isn't this the same as asking her to die? Don't you know that Byzantium is now under siege by the Thracians and Miletus will soon give up its aid to Byzantium? Don't you know!" Aspasia currently does not know the true situation in Byzantium. When she said this, she couldn't help crying. "She...she is my only daughter." "……I know." Pericles sighed. "But it's not mine." "I've told you many times! I have never made love with another man! Hilde is your and my child! Don't you know that some people are born this way... This may be destined by God. Our child has such an extraordinary appearance. Isn't this a good thing? " "Good thing? I know what you said, but that person has white hair! That's a child cursed by God! But what about Hilde? Her hair is like the purest silver, silver hair, and her eyes are not just purple, but a kind of eyes that seem to contain the sea of stars. I once stared at Hilde's eyes carefully. If you look at them for too long, you will find that it is not purple, but a kind of red, and it will make your mind lost." "so what?" Aspasia wiped away her tears. "But she's our daughter too!" "But she will bring a curse upon us!" "Pericles! Don't blame Hilde for your own incompetence! Listen to what's happening outside. Because of the mistakes in the war, Cleon has gained the support of many people! Although you still have the trust of the Citizens' Assembly, this trust will end sooner or later. And there's a prophecy... yes, a prophecy. Someone who came from nowhere told you that one day in the future, Hilde will destroy all your efforts and replace you. Did you really believe it!?" First tune, second section, go to look for the daughter's mother "Is there anything to believe or not believe in this?" Pericles sighed helplessly. "If Hilde stays in Athens, it will only bring disaster to Athens."
"you you……" "Besides, you know that when Hilde was born, the prophet said that her birth would bring great disaster to Athens. She would bring forward the war that should not have been brought forward, and the slaughter that should not have happened would befall this land. And what is the truth? It is really like this! Originally, the war between us and the Spartans could have been postponed by many means. We were not ready yet, but it broke out last year!" "The well-prepared Spartans launched an attack before we had any chance to react. They were unstoppable and extremely powerful. We had no choice but to close the gates of Athens, fortify the city walls and clear the fields. The rest can be left to our navy. That stupid guy Cleon said he wanted to lead his troops to attack outside the city and recapture Attica. What a stupid proposal! Letting us Athenians and Spartans fight head-on is just asking for death!" When Pericles said this, he covered his head in despair. “So, I have to seize every possibility.” "Is this the reason why you want to bury Hilde!?" Aspasia couldn't accept it. She couldn't help but take a few steps back and looked at Pericles as if she were a stranger. "You... exiled your daughter because of unfounded words. You are worse than a beast! I will not stay here any longer. I want to go to Byzantium to find my daughter!" After saying that, Aspasia turned around and left. Pericles didn't even have time to react. When he stood up to stop her, Aspasia had already left Pericles' mansion. till the end. Pericles said nothing either. In fact, going to Byzantium was fake. His real purpose was to let them kill Hilde. However, strangely, the ship has not returned yet. Logically, if they had completed the mission, they should have returned by now. Pericles did not think much about it. Maybe the sea was too rough and overturned the soldiers' ship, so all of them were buried in the belly of the fish. Thinking of this, Pericles could only sigh helplessly. If Aspasia knew the truth. I'm afraid I'll never be able to forgive myself. However, Pericles was the archon of Athens. He must solve the current predicament facing Athens. In fact, if Hilde had read the history of Greece carefully before her death, she would have found something very strange. The Peloponnesian Campaign broke out in 431 BC, and Pericles was already 434 years old at that time. But now, Pericles is only 435 years old, so it can be calculated that it is BC, but the Peloponnesian Campaign broke out in BC. In other words, the war was at least four years earlier. Was it Hilde's existence that changed the course of the war? Nobody knows this. But in Pericles' view, Athens was not ready for the battle. At the same time, the conflict between them and Sparta did not deteriorate to the point where war was necessary. But that's how the war broke out. Several "heroes" of Sparta led their troops and came to Attica unhindered on land. At the same time, Athens seemed to be abandoned by the gods. Pericles only knew that the "heroes" had reappeared in this world, but he didn't know who in Athens could bear the title of "hero". The protection of Lady Athena seemed to have completely failed. Is this city no longer protected by any gods? Pericles was somewhat desperate. He also didn't know what the gods were thinking. He also didn't know whether the Parthenon, which was currently under construction, could win the favor of the gods.
But now, as consul, he could only try every possible way to save Athens. Aspasia did not understand Pericles. She knew that Pericles was under a lot of pressure, but she just couldn't understand it, especially what his daughter Hilde did. Hilde was Aspasia's favorite child, after all, she was her only daughter. In addition, Pericles had always disliked Hilde, and the conflict between the father and daughter was deep. Aspasia could only make up for the fatherly love that Hilde lacked, and take care of this daughter who was so beautiful that the whole of Athens admired her as much as possible. But now, Pericles wanted to murder her.
