Cupid is looking for me? Zhang Yuanqing's heart sank. He had just learned from Heracini about the feud between "himself" and Cupid, and now he was summoned.
Especially when he slept with his mother's maid, which laid the seeds of disaster.
Alas, am I a Western example of a bastard who is too outstanding and is hated by the legitimate son? He thought to himself with a smile on his face.
Cupid has disliked me for a long time but has never killed me. It is obvious that he is jealous of my bloodline. Even if I am a bastard, I am still the offspring of the goddess of beauty.
Helen said that if the goddess of beauty knew that her bastard had violated her personal maid, she would definitely expel me from Paphos Island, or at most from my home.
Instead of killing.
Therefore, they shouldn't kill me for Helen's matter. Besides, Paphos Island is facing the threat of followers of the God of Light, so it is time to use people...
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing calmed down.
"Well, Cupid has a very bad character." I can't judge him by common sense. If I can't do it, I'll just use my main account to deal with him and see how good Monia is..."
Zhang Yuanqing silently performed emotional manipulation, trying to influence Mona's emotions, but was shocked to find that Mona's emotions were like a lump of iron, and no matter how he "gripped" it, he could not deform it.
Shit, she's at least level eight. I may not be able to beat her even if I use my main character. How rude! Zhang Yuanqing's mind cleared up immediately, and he smiled a humble smile:
"Oh, respected goddess Melnia, I'm going to see Cupid now. You haven't told me where he is yet." Melnia said coldly:
"West Garden."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded immediately, and after briefly identifying the direction, he headed west.
Helasini, with her dark green hair, followed him closely, with the attitude of following her husband wherever he went, sharing life and death. Unlike her brother Amini, who was born to represent "desire", she was the "love" in the desire.
There are several gardens planted with flowers in the castle, dotted with fruit trees and artificial ponds, and the scenery is very nice.
The two men headed west, walked along the stone-paved path for a while, and arrived at the garden west of the castle. From a distance, they saw a child of about five or six years old, loudly scolding several slave leaders.
He has fair skin, a round face, big round blue eyes, and looks very cute.
He had a pair of white wings behind him, flapping gently as he floated in the air.
He had a small bow in his left hand, and in his right hand he held two arrows, one golden and one lead-gray.
"Kenofin, I told you to dig out a hundred baskets of black ore within three days, and you didn't complete the task." Cupid put his hands on his hips and glared at a slave leader.
The slave knelt on the ground in extreme fear and said:
"Master Cupid, the black ore is as hard as the shield in Athena's hand, and we are short of tools and personnel. Oh, great Cupid, I am not trying to make excuses, I just ask you to give me a few more days."
Cupid descended and hovered above the slave leader's head. His cute little face showed a very mocking and sarcastic expression:
"Oh, my slave Knofin, then please go out to sea and ask the followers of the God of Light if they are willing to give us time to prepare weapons."
He floated up again, looked at the soldier holding a spear not far away, and said:
"Send him to sea!"
The slave leader named Knofin, with despair in his eyes, pleaded in a trembling voice: "No, no, don't do this. The followers of the God of Light have blocked this sea area. Anyone who goes out to sea will be killed. Lord Cupid, my wife and children still need me..."
His prayers did not win Cupid's sympathy, and he was carried away by two guards.
Cupid looked at another slave leader and said with a smile:
"Hals, where are the fifty trebuchets? I heard from Elijah that you only completed twenty."
With the previous experience as a lesson, the slave named Hals knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to make any excuses, and only hoped that Cupid would give him a lighter punishment.
Cupid tilted his head, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled mischievously:
"Hals, I heard that you are very loyal to love and deeply in love with your wife..."
He looked at the guards beside him and said, "Bring a ewe here."
The guard hurried away, and soon returned with a white goat with crooked horns. Cupid put the golden arrow on the arrow under Hals's horrified gaze, grinning:
"I punish you for betraying your love for your wife and falling in love with a sheep."
The golden short arrow flew out of the bow, piercing the hearts of Hals and the goat respectively. The former's body stiffened, and although his chest was pierced, he had no wounds and no bleeding.
But the look in the ewe's eyes changed, and desire and love were intertwined in them.
He untied his belt hungrily, stretched out his body, and pounced on the ewe. The guard laughed and kicked the goat. The goat was frightened and fled. The ferocious Hals chased after it. The man and the goat gradually went away and disappeared from sight. "He is simply a devil!" Heracliene seemed to have long been accustomed to Cupid's actions. She held Amini's hand and whispered:
"My dear Amini, you must not make Cupid angry, otherwise, he will make you fall in love with the ewe. The bow and arrow in Cupid's hand are probably high-level dominant props, or even rule-based..." Zhang Yuanqing's face
Gloomy as water:
"My work is not finished yet, right?" Heracini whispered: "Of course!
"Cupid asked you to make 2,000 arrows in two days, but only gave you six craftsmen. This is an impossible task. Lightning crystal is very unstable and must be polished carefully, otherwise it will explode.
"So the craftsmen are very careful when polishing the crystals. It is impossible to make 2,000 arrows in two days."
It’s over, I’m going to become a sheep knight too! Zhang Yuanqing’s heart skipped a beat.
Recalling the bad relationship between Cupid and Arminius, it is obvious that Cupid was deliberately making things difficult for Arminius - giving an impossible task and then taking the opportunity to punish him and settle a personal grudge.
The first crisis of the copy came... Zhang Yuanqing quickly used his brain to think about how to overcome the difficulties. If he fell in love with the ewe, it would be better for him to die, no, it would be better for Cupid to die.
But Cupid had four brothers and sisters from the same mother. If they started fighting, he had no chance of winning and the S-level copy failed directly.
Therefore, we cannot engage in a head-on confrontation now and can only use our wits to defeat them.
The third slave leader punished by Cupid was a young man with long black hair and wearing a one-piece long coat. He had a handsome appearance and a sunny temperament.
This slave leader had several lovers and was very popular with women, so Cupid shot a lead-gray arrow at him, making him lose the ability to love.
The next two slave leaders' punishment was to give up their beautiful daughter, and the punishment for the other was to make the other's wife fall in love with someone else.
After dealing with the slave leader, Cupid finally looked at Zhang Yuanqing and Herasini.
"Oh, Amini, the embodiment of justice on the island of Paphos, are you satisfied with the punishment I just gave you?" Herasini looked at Amini nervously.
Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Great Cupid, your punishment is fair and just. I have no objection."
In fact, before meeting Cupid, Zhang Yuanqing had considered bowing down to resolve the grievances between the two sides, but when he saw
After seeing what Cupid had done, he silently gave up the idea.
On the one hand, given Cupid's bad character, surrendering may not work. On the other hand, he will bow down and will not give in to evil people.
However, he still chose to give in.
Hearing this, Herasini breathed a sigh of relief.
Cupid put his hands on his hips and laughed, "God of Justice of Paphos, your courage and integrity, I still like you the way you were before."
The guards around him also laughed.
Immediately, his round and cute face once again showed a teasing expression, and his eyes were secretly fierce:
"Even though you said that, it cannot cover up the fact that you failed to do your job, Amini. You did not complete the task within the specified time. I will punish you by making you fall in love with a sheep."
Zhang Yuanqing said quickly:
"Great Cupid, I am willing to accept your punishment. But I think it is not wise to do so."
"No, there is no chance." Cupid looked at the guards, motioning them to lead the ewe, and impatiently drew the bow and aimed at Amini.
Herasini's face was filled with despair.
Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts raced, and he said loudly:
"The God of Light is threatening Paphos Island. We should unite. Lord Cupid, I can guarantee that two thousand arrows will be made by this time tomorrow.
"If you punish me by making me fall in love with a ewe, then I will be inseparable from the ewe, which will be very bad for the island of Paphos."
Cupid narrowed his eyes:
"What if you still can't finish the work tomorrow?" Zhang Yuanqing said immediately:
"In that case, I will bear all the punishment from Master Cupid." Cupid tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said:
"I'll give you one more day. By this time tomorrow, if you can't hand over two thousand arrows..." He chuckled twice and deliberately did not mention the punishment. He flapped his white wings and flew back to the towering bell tower.
Zhang Yuanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard that he had not completed the work, he was manipulating Cupid's spirit. Although the willpower of this naughty child was as strong as iron as his sister Mona, there would still be a slight impact if there was enough time.
With the background of the crisis facing Paphos Island, he successfully persuaded Cupid and barely got through the difficulties. Herasini took Amini away and whispered:
“Ah
"Mini, my work is done. I will help you make arrows. I was too tired yesterday and fell asleep before the sun went down. Humph, Helen, that bitch, took advantage of me."
Her pretty face was filled with worry, fearing that her lover would fall in love with the ewe.
"Dear Herasini, thank you for your dedication to me." Zhang Yuanqing asked Herasini to take him to the workshop where arrows were made.
The two left the castle and came to a group of stone houses that looked like a small town. They walked on the sandy streets and entered a garden-roofed building.
There were six craftsmen working here. Three of them were polishing the bright blue crystal with files, and three were carving wood with not-so-sharp knives, carving out long and thin arrows.
The corners were filled with bundles of arrows, the arrowheads of which were bright blue crystals containing lightning. "Master Amini! Master Heracini!"
Six craftsmen stood up and greeted them.
Although Amini is a slave of the goddess of beauty, the status of slaves of gods is much higher than that of mortals.
Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand, signaling them to continue working, then picked up an arrow and held it in his hand. After a few seconds, the item information appeared:
[Name: Thunder Arrow] [Type: Weapon]
[Function: Paralysis, Explosion]
[Introduction: Arrows made from crystal stones that are brewing lightning. When they hit an enemy, they will explode and generate a strong electric current to paralyze the opponent.]
[Note: Because it is a consumable item, there is no price. ]
The number of arrows is at most 500, and there are still 1,500 left. It is almost impossible to finish them tomorrow unless I am given enough craftsmen.
I can't turn against Cupid now. Tsk, he's targeting me. Given Cupid's character, it seems the conflict is irreconcilable. Well, I really don't want to reconcile with such a bad person!
But now he has to bow his head under the eaves. Zhang Yuanqing decided to complete the task well.
He secretly cast an illusion to deceive the six craftsmen and Herasini's senses, and then spit out three dominant-level vengeful spirits and a ghost bride.
"Owner!"
"Husband!"
The spiritual servants bowed in greeting.
Zhang Yuanqing ordered, "Make 1,500 arrows." He pointed at the craftsmen working hard and said, "Do as instructed!"
The four spirit servants immediately surrounded the craftsmen and watched them make arrows. Zhang Yuanqing took out Little Red Riding Hood, summoned Princess Yin Yao, and issued the same order.
Thus, there was one more corpse among the spirit servants.
The production of arrows is very simple. The key is to be very careful when polishing the crystal. If you are not careful, the crystal will explode, which is enough to make the craftsman lose his arm.
Princess Yin Yao and her four spirit servants watched for a few minutes and then began to make the work.
Zhang Yuanqing shook Little Red Riding Hood again, shaking off ten corpses. He and Yin Yao each controlled five and took part in the work.
······
Barren mountains and ancient temples.
Xiahou Aotian looked at the half-rotten palace door and asked slowly, "Who is outside?"
While asking the question, he opened his inventory, quietly took out a crossbow and hid it behind him.
"Sir, I am a nearby herbal farmer. I went into the mountains to collect herbs and encountered heavy rain. I would like to take shelter in the temple. I hope you will allow me." A woman's soft voice came from outside the door.
It sounds very gentle and alluring.
Women... Xiahou Aotian's vigilance dropped a lot, and he said, "Come in."
The temple door creaked open, and a slim young woman, covering her head with her sleeves, ran into the hall.
Xiahou Aotian looked at the woman, who was about 28 years old and very pretty. Her beautiful hair was wet and stuck to her fair and charming face. The rain had soaked her dress, outlining her graceful figure.
She carried a bamboo basket filled with freshly picked herbs.
The woman glanced at the bonfire and asked timidly:
"Sir, can I warm myself by the fire?"
Xiahou Aotian looked at her and suddenly asked:
"You are here to kill me."
The woman's expression froze, and she stood there in a daze, as if she had not expected him to say such a thing. She was at a loss for a few seconds.
road:
"Why do you say that, sir?"
