Chapter 8: We are the best brothers! (Please collect!)
[Your audacity made the four sisters and Togo’s hearts jump to their throats. ]
[Fortunately, Hephaestus did not blame you, which made them feel relieved. ]
[They have long regarded you as an indispensable part of the temple, and do not want to see you offend the gods and be punished. ]
[Euclea is like a nagging old mother, lecturing you for several hours, and only left with satisfaction after getting your promise that you would not do it next time. ]
[The night gradually deepened. ]
[As usual, you leaned on Togo for warmth, and not far away was a small bonfire that brought warmth and sleep. ]
[Without noticing, two graceful figures quietly appeared under the moonlight. ]
[The angry Hephaestus came back. ]
[Beside her, there was another goddess. 】
[She is also the only goddess who can be considered a good friend of hers – the goddess of wisdom, Athena. 】
[The two goddesses have similar fates. Before Athena was born, she was almost killed by Zeus. 】
[Hephaestus was thrown off Mount Olympus by Hera. 】
[Therefore, the relationship between the two of them has always been pretty good. 】
[After confirming that you really want to be a great hero, Hephaestus, who only knows how to forge, immediately thought of asking Athena for help. 】
[Gods are not omnipotent, at least Hephaestus thinks he is not. 】
[Every profession has its own specialty. When it comes to forging artifacts, no one among the twelve main gods can compare with her. 】
[But when it comes to cultivating heroes, Athena is definitely the best! 】
[After all, most of the Greek heroes are related to Athena. 】
[She can be said to be a professional in cultivating heroes. 】
[“What a lovely child.”]
[Athena leaned down with her hands on her knees and stared at your childish face.]
[Her eyes were full of smiles and a bit of amusement.]
[“After so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen someone dare to take off your mask.”]
[“Hephaestus, you don’t seem angry? Is it because this child praises you from the bottom of his heart?”]
[Like a joke between friends, Athena mercilessly exposed Hephaestus’s little thoughts: “If it were me, I would definitely keep this child by my side. What’s so good about being a hero? He is so fragile that I even suspect that a gust of wind can take his life. If he unfortunately dies, you will be sad, right?”]
[How can I be sad for a mortal?]
[Hephaestus wanted to say this, but she just felt depressed when she thought of your absence in the temple. 】
[Changes always happen inadvertently. 】
[Sixteen years is very short. 】
[For a god with an infinite lifespan, it is as insignificant as a nap. 】
[Sixteen years is very long. 】
[So long thatI have watched you grow from a baby who can’t talk yet to a bold teenager who takes off his mask and praises his own beauty. 】
[Hephaestus hesitated. 】
[I began to doubt whether I should really support your idea? 】
[I doubt whether what Philophrosyne said is correct? 】
[“You have really changed. If you were the old you, you wouldn’t care about the life and death of a mortal.” 】
[After years of getting along, Athena knows Hephaestus’s character too well. Seeing her hesitation, she guessed her thoughts. 】
[She smiled, and the evil taste in her heart became stronger. 】
[If Athena had to come at the beginning just because of Hephaestus’s face, then now she really wants to train you to be a hero. 】
[A mortal who can change gods sounds interesting, doesn’t it? 】
[The bonfire was still burning, but the flames were getting smaller and smaller. 】
[Hephaestus said nothing, but picked up the firewood and added it. 】
[Athena stopped talking and quietly accompanied Hephaestus to wait for dawn. 】
……………………………………………………………………….
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the lush treetops and projected on Lin Yi.
He opened his eyes in a daze and found that the bonfire that should have been extinguished was still burning.
Lin Yi smiled and gently patted the white wolf’s forelimb: “Togo, did you add firewood again at night? When did you become so careful?”
“Are you afraid that I will catch a cold? Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile yet. But……………..Thank you anyway, my good brother.”
Togo woke up and saw the bonfire still burning, and a trace of doubt flashed in his blue eyes.
Did I add it?
Did I sleepwalk at night?
White Wolf’s brain, which was not very smart to begin with, was down.
Forget it, since Zoe said that I added it, it must be me, right?
Even if I was sleepwalking, I would take good care of my good brother!
This is called loyalty!
Togo didn’t think about it anymore, raised his head, and put on a proud attitude.
He frankly acknowledged the credit.
Lin Yi touched its furry head with a smile, and then walked in the opposite direction of the temple.
This was agreed with Hephaestus last night.
From today, he can finally leave Lemnos Island and embark on the road to becoming a hero!
With cheerful steps, Lin Yi and Togo walked towards the world outside the island together.
Lemnos is large enough for the white wolf Togo to live a good life here. He can drink spring water when thirsty and hunt wild animals in the forest when hungry.
Togo could have lived a peaceful life here.But for the sake of loyalty, it still chose to follow Lin Yi without hesitation.
One man and one wolf, one in front and one behind.
Walking through the dense forest.
Only the sound of stepping on dead branches could be heard from time to time.
For a long time, Lin Yi kept walking and called the white wolf’s name without turning his head.
“Togo.”
“Woo?” (What’s wrong?)
“Are you really going to leave with me? The world outside is very dangerous, isn’t it?”
“Woo woo woo.” (I’m strong, I’m not afraid.)
“You are strong, but there are people stronger than you outside.”
“Woo woo woo.” (Then I should have accompanied you to leave. If you can’t even beat me, how can you do it alone? With me here, I can still take you away, right?)
“Togo.”
“Woo?” (What’s wrong?)
White Wolf stopped and looked curiously at the boy in front of him who suddenly stopped moving.
“Thank you.”
Really.
Do you need to thank me for such a small thing?
Looking directly at the boy’s serious and sincere eyes, as warm as the sun, Togo grinned and gently nudged Lin Yi with his head.
Signaling him to keep going forward and not stop.
We are the best brothers, no need to thank.
You have brought me sixteen years of happy wolf life, I am willing to spend the rest of my life to help you realize your dream.
Wait until the day when your dream comes true and you become a great hero.
Come back to Lemnos and bask in the sun with me.
Togo is looking forward to that day.
It believes that day will not be too far away.
