"It's great, I didn't expect Apollo to bless you so much."
Hermes bit his fingers and stared at Cyd with admiration as the orange crystal is flickering rays of light on his left wrist's bracelet.
"It was very difficult to deal with. But the [Blessing], I got…," Cyd looked towards the sun hanging in the air. He didn't know how to get it, but he always felt warm and his body became a lot lighter.
"This is not a serious problem," Hermes patted his forehead, "As long as the rays of light of the sun can reach you, the Arcanum of Sun God Apollo will always protect you. Even if you're poisoned with poison, as long as you stand under the sun, the radiance of the sun will expel those poisons, the same is true for the curse, and it can also strengthen your body function according to the strength of the sun."
"Isn't that super awesome!" Cyd stared wide-eyed.
"Yeah, it's amazing, it's making me very embarrassed right now," Hermes grabbed the back of his head with a look of embarrassment, "Originally, I was going to just say a few words to fool you."
"…"
Next time you piss off Apollo, I'll definitely suggest sending you into the sun.
"Just kidding, kidding, you really helped me out this time, I really appreciate you,"
Seeing Cyd's expression stiff, Hermes quickly patted his shoulder and said with a thumbs up, "I've gone too far this time. Without you, I'd probably be tied to a war chariot."
I think it's best if you're tied to a war chariot.
"Don't be mean, I will still give my best wishes," Hermes snapped her fingers, "[May you not be deceived by anyone in the future]."
"..."
Cyd glanced at his wristband, and a blank crystal was silently filled with dark green.
"It's so casual."
Although he refused to show respect to God, Cyd still couldn't help but complain.
"I can't help it, I'm not a particularly powerful god, I'm just a messenger with a lot of brains," Hermes shrugged, "Isn't this very good, at least no one can lie to you."
"Should be...good," Cyd curl one's lip.
"Fine fine. The promised payment for the instrument has been given, so the payment for that piece should also be given to you," Hermes raised his hand and tapped the helmet on his head, "for the current you, there is something that only I can give you."
Cyd's eyes slowly widened, yes, for him who wants to get the blessing of the thirteen gods, there is one thing that only Hermes can give him and that's...
"Information. Information about the gods," Hermes shook his finger, "You're just a mortal, and it's an incredible thing for mortals to meet gods, but now you have to meet even more thirteen gods, but as a Zeus messenger, I know where each of them is."
Hermes reached into his pocket, took out a compass and threw it to Cyd.
"I made this for you by the way when I was doing Erhu, the pointer will point you where you want to go."
Cyd glanced at the compass, the pointer was now high-speed rotation like a gyro.
"Cough, it means you don't know where to go," Hermes coughed a few times, "When you decide, the pointer will..."
"Ka-cha --"
The pointer stopped and pointed to Hermes' left.
"Stop." Hermes snapped his fingers, "Just as I said."
"I see," Cyd tossed the compass, "Thanks."
"It's just your honesty and wisdom," Hermes flipped his helmet, "Speaking of which I still have work to do, so I won't play with you, bye~"
After finishing speaking, a pair of wings stretched out from Hermes' boots and flew into the sky under Cyd's somewhat envious gaze.
"It's great to be able to fly," Cyd kicked the stones beside his feet, moved towards the direction the compass pointer was pointing at, and walked slowly.
If he could fly, he wouldn't have to go over mountains and mountains, and maybe he wouldn't encounter...
"Why is it a bandit again," Cyd held one hand as if he was out of strength on the tree trunk, "Is it too condescending to dare to come alone? Do I look so easy to bully?"
"That I..." Standing opposite Cyd, the middle age person holding a bow and arrow stretching out his hand.
"Ah~ I know, hand over all the treasures in your hands, I'm tired of hearing this kind of dialogue," Cyd waved his hand to interrupt the middle age person.
"This world is really messed up, I'm just walking the road. As for letting me meet six or seven waves of bandits? Did I have some type of attraction for the bandits?" Cyd raised the tree with one hand, "I don't kill people, it's very troublesome to plant you one by one in the soil!"
"That..." Looking at the shadow that gradually enveloped him, middle age person gulped and shouted, "I'm not a bandit!"
"Eh?" Cyd tilted his head.
"Really! Look here I have... a freshly hunted rabbit!" In order to prove his identity, middle age person took out a dead rabbit from behind.
"Ah~ you scared me to death, you are really not a bandit," Cyd sighed in relief with a look of fear, and inserted the tree back into the ground.
I'm scared to death!
As soon as the middle-aged hunter sat on the ground with soft legs, he was about to die like the rabbit in his hands in a matter of seconds.
"Speaking of which hunter uncle, where is the nearest coast here?" Cyd reached out to the middle-aged hunter, "I want to go to sea."
"Go to sea? The middle-aged hunter waved his hand and stood up by himself,
"Speaking of which, there is indeed a ship that is about to go out to sea in these two days. The requirements for recruiting sailors are quite strict, but little brother, you should be selected because of your strength."
"Really?" Cyd touched his chin, "Where are they going?"
"Colchis, but they've been making a lot of noise recently, but I guess no one knows who will be going at this time to sea," the middle-aged hunter patted the leaves on his body.
"Really~ Uncle, can you help me lead the way?" Cyd thought for a while and then moved towards the middle-aged hunter with a kind smile.
"Yes, yes, anyway, that's my harvest is today," the middle-aged hunter shook the rabbit in his hand.
"Can you see these?" Cyd reached into the package and touched it, then took out a few wolf skins.
"Uh... little brother, you're not kidding," the middle-aged hunter hesitantly watched Cyd hand him the wolf hide, "These hides are very complete and can be sold for a good price."
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I'll go out to sea as a sailor later," Cyd shrugged, "If you're at sea, you shouldn't need them, so you can take them as a reward."
As he said, Cyd shoved the animal skin into the middle-aged hunter's hands with some force.
"Fine," the middle-aged hunter took the hide after hesitating for a while, "Little brother, what are you going to sea for? You're definitely not going to Colchis."
"No, I just want to go to sea very simply," Cyd put his hands behind his back with a mysterious smile.
