Give Me the Name of God

In previous lives, even if a person knew nothing about Greek mythology, he could usually name two names.

One is Athena and the other is Medusa.

Manda was lucky today, he met his childhood idol.

The Gorgon Medusa, Manda never dreamed of meeting her here.

He had just seen Medusa's eyes and was now checking his body to see if it had turned to stone.

There's some dirt on the pants, it's probably just dust, not stones.

You see, it fell off as soon as it was shaken, so it is definitely not a stone.

Manda was sure he hadn't turned to stone, but he felt Medusa's hair.

Poisonous snakes as thick as fingers were spitting messages on his face.

Manda was about to pee, and might have done it if it weren't for the fact that he hadn't had water for six hours.

What to do now, turn around and run?

Behind him is the entrance to the cave, and outside the entrance is a cliff more than 20 meters high.

If you jump down, you may not fall to your death. After all, you are a sixth-level believer.

But it was not so easy to turn around and rush to the entrance of the cave. Manda did not dare to expose her back to Medusa. According to the records in "Theogony", Medusa's shooting skills were comparable to Apollo, even if Manda did not dare to expose her back to Medusa. Da jumped in the air and could be shot in the head by her arrow at any time.

And once you turn around, you can never look back. Once you look back, you may encounter her eyes. If you encounter her eyes, there is a high probability that she will turn you into stone.

But just standing like this was not an option. Manda lowered her head, not daring to look at her face, and let her snake hair rub against her face. According to the records on the divine genealogy, every venomous snake Every drop of venom of Medusa can easily kill a person, and the record in "Ode" is more complicated. Medusa's snake hair can call storms, the snake hair on the left is poisonous, and the snake hair on the right can cure all diseases.

No matter which version was true, Manda was not in the mood to experiment here. He wanted to try to communicate with Medusa, but unexpectedly the other party's singing stopped suddenly and she spoke first.

"Titu cut off Tito, Taganasi, Tatato, that golden cheek?"

what language is this? It's a bit familiar, think about it, think about it...

"Tata Tona Golden Cheek Lo?" Medusa repeated her question again, her body always surrounding Manda, her cheek almost touching Manda's face, her lips less than an inch away from Manda, wet There is still a little warmth between the smooth breath.

She should be dead, just a ghost...

When Medusa repeated the question a third time, Manda finally found the source of the language.

It's an amber language, an ancient saying that has been extinct for many years.

Manda recognized Amberly, but only in words. He did not understand the pronunciation of Amberly. No one he knew could speak Amberly, and there were very few people in the world who could speak Amberly.

Manda compared the pronunciation of Medusa with the spelling of the text and guessed that the other party was speaking Amber. If his guess was correct, Medusa's question should be: "Young man, where are you from and where are you going?" Where to go?”

Manda carefully squatted on the ground and wrote a line of words in Amber on the rock with her fingers: "I came from the human world and want to return to the human world."

Medusa lowered her head and stared at the text.

Manda's guess was right. Medusa was speaking the Amber language, and she understood it.

She asked again: "Don't you know how to speak?"

"Abba! Abba!" Manda heard this sentence clearly, and he nodded vigorously.

Manda's thought at the moment was: There is an advantage in not speaking. If Medusa thinks I am a dull person, she might let me go.

Unexpectedly, Medusa was very interested in him. She circled around his body and kept rubbing Manda's cheek with her snake hair.

"I can heal your throat, just bite my hair on your throat and you can talk."

Two snake hairs climbed up Manda's throat, and Manda suddenly shouted: "A miracle happened, I am cured, I can speak!"

He spoke in common language. Although Medusa could not understand it, she could guess what Manda meant: "Shameless man, full of lies. I should really turn you into stone."

This passage was a bit long. Manda only understood the words shameless and stone. To him, these two words were not a good sign. In order not to cause misunderstanding, he wrote a line on the ground: "I should go." ”

Medusa looked at the words on the ground and showed a charming smile. She pushed the snake's hair aside, put her face against Manda's, and asked: "Where are you going? Do you know how to get out of here?" "

This gave Manda a hint. Maybe she didn't need to go to the boatman. Maybe she could ask Medusa for the location of the exit.

Manda wrote: "Do you know where the exit from the underworld is?"

Medusa whispered into Manda's ear: "I know, but why should I tell you?"

Manda took out the money bag, shook it, and wrote on the ground: "I will give you the money."

Medusa's expression changed, she was a little angry.

But she quickly returned to her smile and put her lips on Manda's ear again: "I don't want money, I want you to stay with me forever."

Manda didn't know where she got the courage. She shook her shoulders and knocked Medusa away.

He knew it was risky, but he just couldn't stand having Medusa's snake hair rubbing on his face.

He turned around and jumped out from the entrance of the cave. While he was still in the air, he could still hear Medusa's voice.

"Don't even think about leaving me, or you'll never get out of the underworld!"

Manda landed on the ground smoothly, and Medusa's song was still lingering in his ears. He didn't dare to think too much, and continued running downstream along the river. He estimated that he had run for more than ten miles, but found Medusa's The singing has not diminished at all.

This means that she has been following him!

Manda didn't dare to look back, he was worried that when he looked back, it would be a perfect look at each other.

But he didn't have the strength to run anymore, and even if he continued to run, he might not be able to outrun Medusa.

This is really strange. Medusa is not a god. Although she is a powerful banshee, she is still a mortal creature.

How could a mortal thing be faster than myself?

If he couldn't run on the ground, he could only run in the water. Manda was going to run to the other side of the Styx. He guessed that Medusa would not dare to cross the Styx.

But what should I do if I encounter a three-headed dog on the other side? The last time I cut off my tail, I haven't gotten over it yet.

"Tired from running and no energy left?" Medusa's voice came to her ears again, and Manda felt a slight chill coming from the back of her neck.

He couldn't control that much. He still had a black crystal on him, which might scare the three-headed dog. After all, he had the experience of successfully escaping once.

Thinking of this, Manda strode to the river and was about to jump into the river when she heard Medusa shout: "Don't go! After crossing this river, you will never come back!"

She was scared and Manda laughed loudly. Crossing the river was indeed the right choice.

Unexpectedly, Medusa also laughed in her ears: "Ignorant young man, take a closer look at the river and the solemnity and solemnity in the waves. This is not the Acheron River, this is the Oath-Keeping River Stik." Si River, mortals who touch the water will remain in the underworld forever, and the gods on Mount Olympia will lose their divinity if they cross this river. Jump in, go, so that you can stay with me forever."
