"Cough cough cough." Pei Zi Yun woke up and opened his eyes. He realized that he was still on the deck of the ship, but his whole body was in pain.
He endured the pain and climbed up from the deck. He looked around and realized that his ship was stranded on a white beach. From the looks of it, he was on an island.
Pei Zi Yun looked at his ship and realized that it was heavily damaged. However, it could still be repaired. He looked at the sailors and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Wake up, wake up." He found more than ten sailors in the cabin and woke them up.
"Prince Paris." The sailors called out to Pei Zi Yun. At this point, their eyes were wide open, and they had no idea what had happened.
All they knew was that their ship had been attacked by a tornado without warning. The ship was swept into the air, and they could not remember anything else.
"What happened just now?" Pei Zi Yun thought back. Not long after they set off, a strong wind suddenly appeared on the ship. This strong wind turned into a tornado and blew him to this island.
"I was blown away by the tornado because I changed the plot too much, and was expelled from the Battle of Troy?"
"Damn it." Pei Zi Yun's face was ashen. The gods of Mount Olympus had no effect on him, and had directly expelled him to this deserted island.
He had no choice but to take things one step at a time. For the time being, he had to survive on this deserted island. Luckily, he still had a ship, which he needed to repair first.
Pei Zi Yun looked at the uneasy sailors in front of him. He knew that they were afraid of the unknown. Not only them, even he was at a loss.
However, he could not show his fear. He instructed, "The few of you, form groups of two. Take your weapons and hunt on the island. Also, look for fresh water."
He then pointed to a few sailors and said, "The few of you, take your tools and go to the island to cut down trees and repair the ship. Remember to bring your weapons."
Pei Zi Yun pointed to the last two sailors and said, "The two of you, take your weapons and follow me to the island to see if there is any danger."
Pei Zi Yun knew that in the Greek Mythology, islands were the home of many monsters. He had to patrol the island and find out if there was any danger.
Pei Zi Yun hung the bronze sword at his waist and held a long spear in his hands. He then led two fully armed soldiers down the battleship. The moment they stepped off the battleship and stepped onto the soft beach, they could feel that something was different. It was too quiet.
"Could there really be a powerful monster?" Pei Zi Yun thought to himself as he continued walking for a while. Suddenly, the view before his eyes widened as he saw a lush forest.
Not sensing any danger, Pei Zi Yun led the two soldiers and walked slowly through the forest.
Suddenly, a wisp of green smoke rose in front of them.
"There are signs of human habitation?" Pei Zi Yun felt strange as he followed the trail of green smoke. After walking for a distance, he could faintly see the outline of a building in front of him.
"Don't get close. Let's take a look first." Pei Zi Yun and the two soldiers hurriedly hid themselves. After a while, they pushed aside the branches and a palace appeared before their eyes.
The palace was square-shaped and supported by marble pillars. The four corners of the palace dome had huge flying eaves, which looked a little strange. It was surrounded by a white wall that surrounded the entire palace, isolating it from the outside world.
Pei Zi Yun looked at the walls surrounding him and the palace. His expression changed as he thought to himself, 'Is this the palace of the Nymphs or the Goddess?'
It was easy to tell. Normally, in order to maintain a palace, a mortal would need many farmers and servants. However, he did not see any fields or farmhouses.
'That's why I think this is the palace of the Nymphs or the Goddess. Only a deity would be able to maintain a palace without farmers and servants.'
His heart was certain that this was the palace of a deity. Pei Zi Yun hesitated for a while before moving closer to take a look.
Taking a few steps closer, he peered through the gaps in the walls and was shocked. The soldier whispered, "There are animals inside. There are wild boars."
"There are also wild wolves and lions."
"Who would keep these in a palace?"
Pei Zi Yun did not speak, but he immediately understood where he was. "Is this the Aegean Island, Kale?"
Kale was the daughter of the Sun God Helius and Perseus. She was an expert in potions. Pei Zi Yun's expression changed. He did not think that he would be blown to the Aegean Island by a tornado. Kale was a witch, and often used potions to turn her enemies or those who opposed her into monsters.
"Retreat, let's retreat quickly." Pei Zi Yun ordered the soldiers as he ran towards the forest.
He had thought that this island was a desolate and uninhabited island, but it turned out to be the Aegean Island. The most important thing was that the terrible witch Kalgar lived there. The wild wolves and lions he had seen just now were clearly caused by the witch.
Pei Zi Yun retreated into the forest and gradually calmed down. He realized that he had been frightened by the witch's name. She might not be as scary as the rumors said.
"Many years later, Odysseus would come here, after this story."
"At that time, Kalgar turned the sailors into beasts, and Hermes pointed out to Odysseus. He pulled out a black-root grass with white flowers from the ground and told Odysseus that it was a magical herb."
"As long as you bring this grass, her witchcraft and potions will not be able to turn people into animals. In addition, it was recorded that when Odysseus drew his sword and ran, she would beg for mercy."
"This shows that she was not very strong." Thinking up to this point, Pei Zi Yun retreated a distance away and looked around carefully. Indeed, he plucked a stalk of black root grass that was blooming with hundreds of flowers.
Pei Zi Yun looked at the grass as his lips curled up into a smile.
He had come to this island by accident. It could be said that the gods had sent him here. Since this was the arrangement, how could he not go and meet the legendary witch, Kale?
He was afraid that he would fall into Kale's trap, so he quickly retreated. If he was accidentally turned into a monster, he would not be able to leave this island for the rest of his life.
"No, not for the rest of my life. The gods will release themselves when the time is right, and then reap their lives."
Although he had the help of the Plum Blossom, he did not want to get into trouble. Now that he was prepared, he could calmly go and see Kale.
Thinking of this, Pei Zi Yun stood up and wanted to go in. But then he realized that there were no gods watching him. Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, "I have to be more careful. I have accumulated enough. In the past, I was often watched by the gods, so I did not level up. Now, system, level up!"
"Boom!"
A Plum Blossom appeared in front of his eyes and quickly grew bigger. It turned into an information interface with a faint light. Following that, a loud explosion sounded out. Pei Zi Yun was startled, and his heart thumped furiously. He took a deep breath, and his blood began to glow with a golden light. It was obvious that his blood had been purified and evolved.
He looked at the system and realized that there were changes.
"Hero Blood Meridians: Level 5 (15.8%)"
"Special Skill: Nimble Wind (80.1%)"
"Special Skill: Cast Iron Bronze (55.7%)"
"Special Skill: Affinity with Water (13.6%)"
"My strength has increased again. Nimble Wind is almost full, I feel like the wind."
"Cast Iron Bronze has recovered by half, and I have an additional affinity with water. Is this because of my own blood, from Zeus and the River God?"
After leveling up, Pei Zi Yun then instructed the two soldiers, "Let's go, let's go and meet the owner of this place."
Pei Zi Yun brought the two soldiers and walked towards the entrance of the palace. Just as he reached the entrance, a young lady came out with a group of beautiful fairies.
Pei Zi Yun looked at the young lady in front of him and knew that she must be the legendary Kale Ke.
"Ah, esteemed guest, I am very happy that you could come to the Isle of Aegea and visit my palace." Kale Ke said warmly.
"Esteemed lady, thank you very much for your grand welcome. This is my first time here and I was attracted by the beauty of this palace. I hope I did not disturb you."
"How could I? Esteemed guest, I have already prepared a banquet in my palace. Please follow me."
Pei Zi Yun did not expect Kale Ke to invite him to a banquet in her palace without even asking for his name or where he came from.
"That's right, she has a magic potion. As long as I drink a mouthful of wine or eat a mouthful of food, I will become an animal." Pei Zi Yun laughed to himself, "It's just that she is too anxious. This kind of unusual treatment will easily arouse suspicion."
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a good banquet. Luckily, he was prepared and was not afraid of her. Thinking of this, Pei Zi Yun followed Kale Ke into the palace.
After entering the palace, unlike other places where Kale Ke had transformed into monsters, there were many fresh flowers planted here. When people entered, it was as if they were in a sea of flowers. Coupled with the scenery here, it was easy to let down one's guard.
"Brilliant." Pei Zi Yun secretly praised.
The reliefs and murals in the palace were all beautiful sceneries and fairies, which made one feel good at a glance.
The banquet seats were covered with luxurious woolen rugs, and the tables were filled with delicacies. There were exquisite grapes, wine, and all kinds of fruits.
"Come, esteemed guest, welcome from afar. Let us drink this cup." Kale Ke finished speaking and drank the wine in one gulp.
Pei Zi Yun smiled and also drank the wine in his cup. He said, "Esteemed lady, thank you for your warm hospitality."
After saying this, he picked up the roasted meat on the table and ate it.
When Kale Ke saw Pei Zi Yun drink and eat the meat, she smiled even more happily. She pointed at Pei Zi Yun and said, "Change, change, change!"
But to her great disappointment, Pei Zi Yun sat there quietly and did not respond.
"What's going on? Who are you? Why does my magic potion have no effect on you? " She seemed to remember that she had asked about Pei Zi Yun's identity. She was extremely confident in her magic potion and suffered a setback in her life. She continued, "No one has ever been able to resist my magic. Could it be that you are Austin?"
"Many years ago, Hermes came to me and made a prophecy. He said that you would pass by this place on your way back from Troy. Could it be that the battle of Troy has ended?"
Kale Ke seemed to believe in Hermes' prophecy. Even before Pei Zi Yun revealed his identity, she was already certain that Pei Zi Yun was Austin.
