72 I want to be a hero

Luo Wei still knew that Xisuthros (Xisuthrous) was the Hellenized name of Ziusudra.

In fact, the great flood that destroyed the world was an inevitable disaster in the mythology of almost all regions.

Whether it was Mesopotamia, Greece, or even China, there were similar allusions spread throughout the world.

And there would be no shortage of survivors from the Great Flood.

However, he really didn't expect that Ziusudra and Xisuthros would be the same person.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes now, he probably would have thought that they were just two independent individuals with similar origins.

But here he was...

He never expected to meet him here——

"This old man said that we will meet again, and it will be in the near future."

The old man walked out of the shadows, dressed similarly to the one in Uruk, but the feeling he gave people was completely different.

Without the aura of darkness and silence, he seemed to have the aura of an immortal who looked down on worldly affairs.

In Greece, he was only an immortal, not someone who lived in the underworld.

"Honestly, how many more avatars do you have?" Luo Wei was a little curious.

"Wherever there was a great flood that destroyed the world, there are traces of me left." The old man said matter-of-factly: "This is also a necessary skill for people from the Deep Land."

Being able to open vests all over the world seems pretty awesome...

"Let's go!" Xisuthros stroked his beard under his cloak and raised his eyes: "Since you are here, I might as well be your guide."

Unlike in Uruk before, this time he was just waiting for Luo Wei here and had no other purpose.

Just because they have known each other before, they could considered acquaintances at least.

And no matter what, he owed Luo Wei a favor, after all he prevented the disaster of annihilation, although Luo Wei wanted to do it himself, it was also what he hoped he could do.

"It's what I asked for." Luo Wei responded with a smile: "Thank you, wise immortal."

He was never less polite when it was time to be polite.

The other party's help was indeed what he needs.

Although he knew that this was Greece, he only knew the location, but did not know the more specific time or the more specific geographical location.

He really needed a guide.

No matter what, if he wanted to die in the 'great cause' created by himself, he must first find the right opportunity, so he must first understand where there were more opportunities.

Just like when he first arrived in Uruk, he spent a whole year dormant in the Pantheon to understand the layout and make preparations.

Even though it was all fruitless...

Oh well, not everything goes as we want, but we should not give up.

"This is a tree, and there is grass over there... Hey, I'm just joking with you. Young people should have some fun in their life!" As he spoke, the old man saw Luo Wei's eyes becoming more and more strange, he couldn't help coughing softly.

So Luo Wei raised his middle finger and politely expressed greetings.

Sure enough, one shouldn't be too polite.

But what was greeted was not the old man's rebuttal, but an inexplicable sigh: "The sign of a sage..."

"You don't know yet?"

Looking at his puzzled face, Xisuthros squinted, his beard trembling as he grinned again: "Legend has it that on the soil in the far east, there once was a sage who used his human body to fight against the monsters that destroyed the world."

"And this posture - it symbolized the rebellious spirit of the sage."

"There are countless people on that land who are proud of it."

Luo Wei: "..."

He imagined for a moment that everyone in a certain country used this kind of 'etiquette' as a greeting, and would give each other the middle finger when meeting...

So weird, so weird.

"Let's not talk about this for now." The old man became a little serious: "Let's go, let's talk as we walk, and go to the nearest city-"

Okay, finally back to the topic.

Just like the Mesopotamian plain, it was also adjacent to an inland bay called the 'Aegean Sea'.

There were several hosts around the Aegean Sea, which belonged to different countries and had different gods.

Faith, but when combined, they all had a common name —Greece.

Yup...

This was Greece.

Another developed place where civilization was nurtured.

But what it brought to Luo Wei was a completely different feeling.

He walked through the forest, under the reflection of the morning sun, looked to one side and smelled the breath of living people.

Going to hunting, the common profession in Greece, he bumped into the 'monster' with the invisible door—it looked like a lion, but had an unusual size.

Um..an ordinary and huge monster.

This kind of monster seemed to be everywhere in this world.

"In this land, the gods are high in the sky and mysteriously walk on the ground - similar to Uruk in the past, but the difference is the existence form of the gods."

It seems that he felt the confusion in Luo Wei's heart, Xisuthros answered casually: "The gods here...can go down to the next world."

"Because they are not gods born naturally, but steel existences from outside the sky - they obtained their humanity from people's beliefs, and from their original steel bodies, they constructed a fully capable and dependable body just like a human body."

So in simple words, although they are high-altitude gods, but they have the shell of a human being who can freely walk in the world.

This was the biggest difference from the Mesopotamian gods who only had invisible concepts that could be manifested and it was difficult to find a suitable body to support them.

"These monsters are also created by the gods' frequent descents."

When gods appear in the world, they naturally bring about mystery.

"All things have evolved because of this, and humans have become stronger because of this."

"Here, there are people who kill monsters and protect the peace of the place."

"There are people who act recklessly but are blessed by the gods because of their personality – they are also called Heroes."

"There are many who have the blood of gods and are born powerful."

"The strong ones are heroes, the weak are civilians."

This was the 'Heroic Age' of Greece.

"Roar, roar, roar -" Over there, the monster blocked by Luo Wei's unfolded 'door' was still roaring.

But no one paid any attention to him.

It was just a piece of shit, and he had no time to pay attention to it.

Because the more he listened to the old man's story, the brighter and brighter his eyes became.

Hero, hero——

In Greece, the so-called hero was undoubtedly a profession with a high mortality rate.

Not even high was a too low...It should be 99.99%.

Every famous Greek hero he knew and heard of died a miserable death.

The so called death profession..

Because these heroes will be watched by the gods.

And the more attention they get from the gods, the more miserable their ending will be.

And so...

"I have decided..." Luo Wei paused and suddenly said, "I want to become a hero!"

"Hahaha, still the same wanton character as always!"

The old man was not surprised at all.

Although he had the name of a sage and extraordinary wisdom, the old man had always been very clear that the man in front of him was essentially the same as the King of Uruk who was now known as the 'non-god Pluto'.

These two were the kind of people.

Acting recklessly and willfully.

So...

"Then as your guide, I would recommend you to go there alone!"

He said: "There is a man named Chiron. He is an outstanding centaur hero.

He has taught countless heroes and is widely known as the 'Mentor of Heroes'."

"If you go there, you will definitely get what you want."
