Chapter 174 – Chapter 174. What Is Apollo? It’s ‘That’!
Somehow, the ship was unlucky from the first impression.
He enjoyed watching his pregnant wife’s affair.
Isn’t it a creature that shouldn’t exist as a male?
I turned the page, suppressing the anger at the time that I finally understood.
‘Coronis eventually dies from Apollo’s wrath, but Asclepius, the daughter in her ship, survives.’
‘Apollon cherished his daughter as much as he did, and Asclepius became more and more beautiful with each passing day.’
‘Apollo lusted after her Coronis for his own daughter, who looked just like her.’
Oh shit
I know badly.
She didn’t want to sympathize with the bastard, but this was something she had to admit.
‘Asclepius, who rejected Apollo, went under Chiron and studied medicine, and soon her skills reached to surpass her father’s, such as reviving the dead.’
‘At that moment, the position of the god of medicine passed to a superior god.’
‘Apollo, who witnessed the medical art of reviving the dead, immediately decided to take her life.’
‘Apollon’s love turned into jealousy and love and hatred for her daughter, who had accomplished feats that even the god herself could not have accomplished.’
‘I was sure that if her father, himself, took her perfectly, she would regain her own prestige.’
‘She smiled perfectly at the thought of her daughter who would be with her inside her all her life.’
Crazy bastard.
I closed the book and looked up at Sohee.
The current situation fits perfectly with the contents of the book.
Apollo tries to kill Sohee, a shaman.
So-hee’s ability is, ironically, a healer.
‘That’s why he had a seizure after seeing him treat me.’
Because it is a power that has been usurped.
I don’t know where it will be used, but I turned on the quest window while organizing another fact I found out.
The quest description with the most clues left.
This dungeon is an epic dungeon related to Apollo from its name.
And Apollo.
‘God of the Sun, God of Archery, God of Wisdom. And.’
God of poetry.
The complicated description of the quest was no different from a poem covered in metaphors.
I slowly read the letters that lined up in front of my eyes.
Great blah blah blah.
“Pass the first sentence because it looks like it was just written…”
Next sentence.
The sun chariot he leads reveals all secrets.
The bow pierces all enemies.
“The sun chariot must shoot debuffs with the sun… I’ve never seen one use a bow.”
Keep the contents of the bow.
I sorted them out one by one and deleted unnecessary or easy content in the middle.
Looking at the slightly cleaner contents of the quest, he calmly organized his thoughts.
==================================================
There is no escape from him.
The only way is to follow him.
Night is not God’s will.
In the morning, I will see his face
Hearing his voice at noon
Choose his offering for dinner.
==================================================
“This way, it’s certain that it only moves in the morning.”
The third paragraph is written in a sphinx style.
Apollo’s activities are listed from morning to evening.
Morning and evening. It is the time when the sun rises.
And at the moment when Apollo, who was approaching as if to stab me, suddenly returned to the altar
The sunset was shining behind him.
Why did you do that, but there was a reason for this.
“Because he is the god of the sun, can he be active only at that time?”
I deleted the third paragraph, which was interpreted, and organized the remaining quest sentences.
==================================================
The moment when the priest offered the shaman to the god
Let the heavens rejoice and emit light.
There will be salvation.
All according to God’s will.
Be careful. Birds hear daytime talk-
Clear condition: Achievement of trust. Offer the shrine maiden.
Only the priest can discover the secret.
Please select.
Will you follow God’s will?
==================================================
This time, I deleted the sentence about salvation.
The salvation that the sluggish NTR chug talks about
I’ll just save you with death – it’ll be the level.
If this is really the answer, there is no need to do anything so complicated.
I scribbled the pen again and sorted out the remaining sentences.
==================================================
There is no way out of him.
The only way is to follow him.
Night is not God’s will.
Be careful. Birds hear the daytime talk-
Clear condition: Achievement of trust. Offer the shaman.
Only the priest can find out the secret.
Choose
Will you follow God’s will?
==================================================
Sentences much simpler.
But the more I look at it and think about it, the more I feel uncomfortable.
All the sentences of the quest ‘induce’ the thought as if to offer Sohee for granted.
To follow the will of God, he slowly narrows the circuit of his thoughts as if he had no other options.
Furthermore, there is one message that is thrown as if emphasized throughout the quest.
‘I can’t escape from Apollo.’
The quest constantly repeats and emphasizes similar content and engraves it in your head.
Like trying to keep me from thinking about anything other than this.
Like
Apollo some time ago
Engaging Oh Mi-joo and mentioning Seon-hye and So-hee divert the attention of the children.
It’s like she was trying to hide the fact that she could only attack me.
I know exactly what kind of tendency Apollo is.
A master of distracting gimmicks and bluffing.
A strategist who hides his weaknesses by narrowing his opponent’s view.
Pungkawontul bastard.
“It’s fun.”
I smiled involuntarily at the feeling of putting together a puzzle and looked at the next piece that caught my eye.
“Only I can find out the secret.” La…
I thought it was about So-hee, but there is a separate saying that you can recognize a hidden shaman.
In other words.
I don’t know what this quest is, but there is a secret.
It means that this is not all of the quest.
Secret.
What is Apollo’s secret?
Apollo can only move when the sun is up.
As long as the sun is up, you are invincible.
You can’t escape from Apollo.
From Apollo.
From Apollo.
“…From the sun.”
All of the clues were connected with a sensation that instantly opened my head.
Sun.
Apollo’s strengths
Apollo’s only weakness.
His power comes from the sun.
So that
Night is not God’s will.
Until the sun goes down and the sun rises again
Half of the day is not Apollo’s time.
The night is free from Apollo.
And.
Time remaining ; 84 hours 32 minutes 15 seconds.
A timer that started at 108 hours.
The bell that rang 12 times.
The quest is not Apollo’s time.
It started at midnight, at night.
Midnight.
84 hours.
32 minutes.
10 seconds.
Now 32 minutes and 5 seconds.
In an instant, following the rotation of thoughts running out of my head, I got up and hurriedly kicked off the tent and ran out.
“Uh? Brother?”
“Isia?”
Surprised, with a dumbfounded expression, he left the remaining children behind and hurriedly moved out of the temple.
My head clears up in the cold night air as I run out.
My head spins around like crazy.
Clear condition. Performance of Trust.
A simple oracle of Apollo that is fulfilled by offering a shaman.
But we
You can choose.
To follow God’s will, to follow Apollo or not.
You cannot choose if there is only one answer.
Why can you choose the answer
Because it’s not the only option.
“Haha…”
New option.
Invisible answer.
Let’s get rid of Apollo’s sunlight that was blinding us
Another hidden path is revealed.
Kiik-
Arrive in front of the temple and hurriedly apply the brakes to stop running
Brilliant lights embroider your eyes.
It contrasts with the cool and quiet temple as if the fire had gone out.
A place where dozens of fires burn and show off their presence.
A place that becomes deadly quiet again in the morning.
This is where we first arrived.
Where the quest started.
The corridor beneath the temple of Apollo was shining under the night sky.
Knock-
Heading there, I ran down the stairs of the temple.
Feeding Feeding-
The smile on your lips doesn’t stop.
This is not the temple of Apollo.
A temple to Apollo and someone else.
And this hallway we walked through last night
The hallway leading to the Temple of Apollo
This place itself was someone else’s temple.
I traversed it endlessly and finally arrived.
The place where Sohee and I were.
The place where the most perches burn in this temple.
As soon as you arrive, the bell announcing midnight starts ringing.
Dang-
Dang-
Dang-
The sound of 12 clear bells.
I raised my head in the middle of the flames that filled my vision.
The reason why only the priest can reveal the secret.
A priest is a person who offers sacrifices.
Only priests can offer sacrifices to which gods
Because you can choose.
Therefore, only the priest finds out the hidden secret of the superficial quest
Choose one of these two temples.
Whether to perform a sacrifice to Apollo, the god of the sun, or not.
Goddess of purity
Goddess of archery
Goddess of the moon
Whether to choose her.
Because the shaman, the object of the rite,
To some, it is dirty, vicious, low, and lascivious at the same time.
To someone, it is a lovely, noble, pure and clear being.
If there is Apollo, then there must be her.
After 12 bells
Looking at the moon that should be located beyond the blazing fire, he whispered his name.
“Artemis.”
Whirik-
The moment you whisper your name
Dozens of torches burning on poles are extinguished at once by a gust of wind.
And a huge full moon shining brilliantly in the sky revealed between the extinguished flames.
The moment the full moon bathed me, my whole body was energized.
“The compatibility between me and my abilities is good.”
So much-
Far away, in the middle of the dark field of vision, lights like fireflies gathered and twinkled.
Soon a shaped silver doe steps out into the moonlight.
“Not bad. To find it in one day.”
Purrureung-
The hind stomping with a cute snort laughs softly.
“Yes. A child who has taken on the role of a priest. Thank you for finding me, who was hiding.”
“Artemis-sama!”
With a voice that is incomparable to that of Apollon’s baby,
This calm, gentle smile.
My heart is very full of kindness.
Jerebuck-
It was nice to meet you, so I took a step forward without even realizing it, and Artemis-sama too
Take a step back.
…?
?
“Artemis-sama?”
That buck
I wonder if it’s an illusion, let’s take a step forward again.
That buck
The hind takes a step back in response.
Tadadak-
Tada Tada Tada-
Let’s shorten the distance with quick steps
Artemis, frightened and retreating farther than the distance I had narrowed.
“Goddess?”
What is this now?
Let me tilt my head
Breaking out in a cold sweat, Artemis opened his mouth.
“That, that-“
Sabaksabak-
Artemis, who had stomped her foot twice with his hoof, suddenly noticed me.
“Do you, by any chance, know what kind of god I am?”
“Of course. You are the goddess of the moon.”
That’s why I came.
Even though she answered neatly, she still looked at me and asked me skewered questions.
“That, and.”
“She is the goddess of archery and the goddess of the hunt.”
“That, isn’t there anything else besides that!!!”
A voice that grows more and more angry.
The sound gets louder as you can’t even make eye contact.
But what the hell is there?
…Ah.
“That, yes…That…”
Artemis was speechless when she saw my reaction, which she perfectly understood.
Unlike when I was shouting, when I finally found the answer, I lowered my head as if I was ashamed.
Although it is the middle of the night, Artemis’ face, reddened by the glittering light, is revealed.
“You, to you-“
Hesitantly-
She who licked her lips
Then she raised her dainty hoofed leg and pointed at me.
Shout in a trembling voice
“You smell like a very erotic man…!”
Artemis.
Indeed, for thousands of years,
It was the response of a beautiful maiden.
