Chapter 18 want to change fate

I heard myself gasping for air. Although countless possibilities flashed through my mind just now, this possibility is beyond my imagination.One is a peerless beauty, and the other is extremely ugly. Two people who are so different are actually brothers! I took a deep breath and calmed down, so that I could continue to listen to him calmly. "I heard from my father that when he was just born, there was no abnormality, but when he was six years old, for some unknown reason, he became extremely ugly overnight. It's not that my father didn't think of a way, but he found many doctors , are helpless about it.”

"Did you just give up like this?" I couldn't help but say. "So what if you don't give up, no matter how close you are, you will get tired of seeing such an ugly face every day, even his biological mother, the queen at the time, gave up on him, everyone hates him more and more, So someone suggested..." "Proposal for him to dress up as a minotaur." I interrupted coldly. He looked at me: "Rather than scaring your own people, it's better to scare your enemies. He's still useful, so it's the most suitable for him." I couldn't speak, my mind was full of the picture of the six-year-old boy crying helplessly in the boundless darkness, and I felt sore in my heart.Compared with darkness, being abandoned by one's own relatives makes people feel more hopeless.

"That's your own brother, do you hate him like everyone else?" Now I feel more and more disliked by him. There was indifference in his eyes: "I don't have a brother who becomes a monster." "If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be a monster. No, he's not a monster at all. He's the gentlest person I've ever seen." I felt as if something was blocking my chest, and I wanted to take the Minotaur away from here The idea is getting stronger and stronger, I will not let him die, and I will not let history repeat itself! This time, I will take care of it!

While Ariadne was going to see the king, I searched again in his bedroom, but still found no trace of the sword. Where did this guy hide the sword? The day of sacrifice is getting closer, I must find the sword before then, and this sword must not be handed over to Theseus, and he must not be allowed to kill the Minotaur with this sword. When it was almost evening, Ariadne hadn't come back yet, only to see his accompanying maid, Ino, come back in a hurry. "Yinuo, where is the princess?" I asked casually. "Princess, she..." Enuo hesitated, "She's still with the king." As she spoke, she seemed to be in a hurry, and hurried out with a shawl.

I immediately followed behind her.For some reason, I always feel a little weird. She quickly turned into a long corridor and disappeared into a room on the right.I slowly leaned forward, and suddenly Ariadne's voice came from the room: "Theseus, I secretly took this sword from my father, and only this sword can kill the Minotaur. , I handed it to you, I hope you will not disappoint my heart." My ears immediately perked up, the sword? Could it be that sword? No wonder I couldn't find it, it turned out to be with the king. The excited voice of Theseus also sounded: "Princess, I, Theseus, swear in the name of Aphrodite, the god of love, that my heart for you will never change."

Ariadne smiled softly: "I believe in you." What did they say after that, I didn't listen carefully, but I felt relieved. Now that I know the whereabouts of the sword, the next thing will be much easier. Immediately after Ariadne left, I flashed into the room. When Theseus saw me, he seemed a little surprised and also a little happy: "Xiaowan, it's you, what have you been up to these days? Thanks to you, the princess' condition has stabilized." I thought about what he said, why didn't he seem to know about my disappearance? "I'm not busy with anything, just thinking about how to better alleviate the princess' condition." I smiled, and my eyes fell on the sword.From the looks of it, it seemed to be a very ordinary sword, no different from the sabers worn by the guards, the only difference was that there was a red gemstone on the scabbard.

"Oh, this is the sword that the princess gave me, and this ball of thread." He smiled slightly, "Don't worry! I will definitely kill that monster and bring you back to Athens safely." I responded lightly, the sword and the string ball are all complete now. "The princess is really special to you." I looked at him with a smile. There was a blush on his face: "I didn't expect to get the help of the princess, Xiaowan, I will return to Athens in the future, I hope you can come to the palace to do things, so that if she gets sick, you will be with me will be more at ease."

"Okay." I smiled warmly.This romantic love story did not have a happy ending. After the prince took the princess away, he got an oracle on the way, saying that he could not bring the princess back to his country. As a result, the prince had to leave the princess alone on a deserted island. Because of excessive grief, he forgot to replace the black sails on the ship with white sails. When he arrived in Athens, the king, who had been waiting for his son's return by the Aegean Sea, mistakenly thought that his son was dead, and jumped into the sea in grief. "Can I see this sword?" I pointed to the sword.

He immediately handed over the sword, I took the sword, looked it over, and found nothing special.I kept thinking about how to take this sword as my own.Could it be that he just grabbed the sword and pulled Minotaur and Sika away? To be honest, without magic, I'm not completely sure about it. Just when I was hesitating, I suddenly heard a familiar bird call from outside the window. I looked up and saw that it was Xiaokong. "Master, come out quickly, I have something important to tell you.,' From its bird language, I understand the meaning of this." As soon as I walked out of the room, it kept flying with me, and didn't stop until it flew into the garden.

"What's the matter, Xiao Kong?" I looked at him puzzled. It turned its small black eyes mysteriously: "Master, I heard a big secret, it's about the Minotaur." My heart moved: "What secret?" "Master, it turned out that the Minotaur became like this because of a strange poison." "What?" I was taken aback. "And this kind of poison is time-effective. After a certain time, the poisonous effect will disappear." "Time? How long?'' My tone became agitated. If it was true, if the Minotaur knew the news, everything, everything would be different!

"After two days, the poisonous effect will disappear." A strange expression seemed to flash in Xiao Kong's eyes. Two days later? I was shocked again. Wasn't it the day of the sacrificial ceremony? How could it be such a coincidence? "Wait, how did you hear such an important matter?" I glanced at it suspiciously. It shook its wings: "I just heard the priest in the temple confess to the goddess of Crete. He knew about it, but he couldn't tell anyone." The idea of ​​telling the king about this matter quickly passed through my mind, and I immediately rejected it. They gave up their relatives so easily in the past, and now they can't give Minotaur happiness at all.Well, I'll just wait two more days, when the Minotaur has recovered and it will be easier to take him out of Crete.And the most important thing now is to prevent Theseus from killing the Minotaur, as long as you get the only sword that can kill the Minotaur, everything will be much simpler. "Xiao Kong, can you do me a favor?" I suddenly thought of a good idea, "At night, wait for me outside the princess' room, I need you to help me lead the way." It rolled its eyes again: "Okay. By the way, master, do you know the way back?" 'cocoa editable' I smiled and touched its head: "Of course I recognize it." I have walked the way from the garden back to the princess several times, so I will not get lost.But before I go back, I have one more thing to do. There is no moon tonight, only stars all over the sky, in the dark blue night sky, the stars are scattered all over the sky like broken crystals, and like pairs of bright eyes looking at the earth, there is wind blowing from the window, bringing Catch the cool mist. I looked at Ariadne who was standing in front of the window looking at the sky with some depression. He has been in this position for a long time, why is he still not asleep? "Look, Xiaowan, how beautiful the stars are." He said suddenly. I just answered absently and casually. He smiled slightly: "I heard that the stars are the eyes of the sky, when you look at them, they will look back at you." He paused, "They are looking at me, they are pitying me. " "Poor?" I snorted softly, "Compared to your brother, you are much happier." He lowered his head, his long golden hair covered all his expressions, and soon, when he raised his head, there was a smile on his face: "Xiaowan, you won't understand." I really don't understand why he wants to put his brother to death, even if he is not allowed to live? A thought suddenly flashed in my mind, if he knew that his brother would recover soon, what would it be? What kind of mood and expression? Will you still want to kill your brother? Thinking of this, another strange thought popped up in my heart. I didn’t think about it just now. Why did Ariadne have to kill the Minotaur? If he had the intention to kill, he could have done it before. Why wait until now? Is it because there has been no suitable candidate? "Are you in a daze?" He asked suddenly. "Ok." "Go to bed early tonight." "Ok." "I'm going to bed first." "Ok." "You sleep in my bed tonight, too." "Ok." His chuckle suddenly pulled me back from my distraction, and only then did I come back to my senses, that I fell into his trap just now. "What's strange, it's not like I haven't slept before." He sat on the bed at some point and looked at me with a smile, "I really miss the days when I hugged you to sleep." "Disgusting..." I yelled angrily in my heart. , "Don't forget, you have to be responsible to me." He smiled narrowly, with emerald-colored luster flowing in his eyes, "You have seen all of my body. So, apart from you, I can't marry again Give it to someone else." Huh? I'm petrified again. Then a gust of wind blows and I weather— After finally waiting for the shemale to fall asleep, I secretly got up from the ground and tiptoed out of the room.As expected, Xiao Kong was waiting there. "Master, where are you going?" I smiled at it, and quickly walked to the fig tree outside the room, picked up a stone and opened the soil, and took out a sword from there.I stole this sword from the guards on patrol when I came back in the afternoon. Since the sword looks similar, I'll steal it and use this ordinary sword to replace Theseus. a sword. "Xiao Kong, take me to Theseus now." I hid the sword in my hand. Xiao Kong just looked at the sword, didn't ask any more questions, and immediately flew to the front to lead the way. It didn't take long to arrive at the Sipei Hall where Theseus and the others were located. I slipped into their room gently, and everyone was fast asleep. Well, it's Lucky.I quickly touched the sword of Theseus, thought for a while, and pulled out the sword, and then pulled out the sword in my hand, and put it directly into his scabbard inlaid with rubies.In this way, only the sword inside is changed, and the scabbard is not changed, so it is even more difficult to be seen through. I did everything and slipped out as fast as I could. Xiao Kong still didn't say anything, and led me back. When I was about to reach the princess' room, it suddenly turned around: "Master, why did you change the only sword that can kill the Minotaur?" I was slightly taken aback: "Because I want to save him." Its small black eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist: "But, according to legend, Minotaur was killed by Theseus." "He will be back to normal soon, it's too unfair to die like this, it shouldn't be his final destiny." "However, fate cannot be changed." Its seriousness brought a rare solemnity. "Can't it be changed?" I raised the sword in my hand, "But I want to try." "Why?" There was a hint of puzzlement in its eyes, "The master is not a nosy person, and he doesn't necessarily have much sympathy. Could it be just a whim?" My face froze, is it belittling me? "Why?" I repeated it lightly, maybe because I have never met such a person, they carry pain that others cannot understand, but they can still live strong. "I just, wanna give it a shot." I smiled at it, "You'll have my back, won't you?" Seeing it nodded quickly, I handed it the sword: "Help me take the sword away. On the day of the sacrifice, you wait for me by the seaside with the sword, and I will bring the Minotaur with me." It hesitated for a moment: "Since the master has made a decision, I will definitely listen to you." As he spoke, he saw something in his mouth, and a burst of blue light flashed, and the little sparrow turned into a big eagle in an instant. It grabbed the sword with its claws, flapped its wings, and flew straight into the sky. Seeing its figure disappear into the sky, I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.In this way, no one can kill the Minotaur.The next thing to do is to enter the underground labyrinth and rescue the Minotaur on the day of the sacrifice. If Theseus knew the truth, he would not insist on killing him. Minotaur, surely - start again.
