Chapter 199 Protect her like a bride
No matter what Hera in the Abyss City thinks, Eros has finally settled smoothly.
Although it is a little strange why Hera is so slow, it is a good thing to end it safely.
He changed back to his original wizard costume, and the mysterious feeling made Yi'e very curious.
She was almost bursting with curiosity about this mysterious man who had saved her.
What does he look like? What's your name? Who is he?
Why did that day suddenly appear in my heart? How did he do it? And why should we save ourselves?
Everything about Eros is a mystery to Io.
Whether it is his actions or behavior, including his whole person, it is as mysterious as a black hole, and full of great attraction.
But, even though she had so much curiosity in her heart, she was still not very embarrassed to talk to Eros.
Because she didn't know if her many questions would be too abrupt and make Eros feel uncomfortable.
So she could only carefully restrain her curiosity first, and then talk about these things after meeting her father first.
Ceclopus drove to the city of Argos, and the news of success had already been delivered to Inachus's ears by fast horse.
When Eros and the others slowly rushed back to the city of Argos, it was already dark, and they were greeted by a line of very respectful king's guards.
"Several distinguished guests, as well as Princess Yi'e, please come with us."
Inachus did not announce the news happily to the whole city, so that all the residents could celebrate with him and celebrate that he had found his beloved daughter.
On the contrary, the trusted guards were used very secretly to introduce Eros and Io from the side entrance of the Acropolis, avoiding the sight of most people.
"Father!"
Seeing the figure sitting on the throne, Yi'e made a sound of surprise, but when she was about to rush up to hug her father, she stopped steps.
Because the figure sitting on the throne was so withered and old, Yi'e was stunned there for a while.
When I saw him yesterday, although Inakos was a little older than I remembered, he was still very energetic.
But in just one day, his father was as withered as a withered bone in a grave, sitting slumped on the throne.
"Father? What's wrong with you?"
Io subconsciously thought of the incident when Argos threw her father out. Was it because of this incident?
“Io, my daughter”
Not sure whether Io's appearance could still be reflected in his cloudy eyes, Inakos looked at the girl kneeling in front of him, holding his hand.
"There is no need to feel sad for me, this is just a death that has been delayed for countless years. I have already prepared for it."
"And in the end, I can see you come back with my own eyes, I'm very satisfied."
Perhaps the small universe that Io injected into Inakos' body had an effect. Inakos's eyes became clearer and he waved his hand.
"No need to waste your energy, my daughter, I am really happy to see you again, but now I have more important things to do."
"Just let it go."
Inakos sat up, his withered body constantly exuding the will of death.
Even the laurel crown on his head was affected and began to turn yellow and wither.
He vividly explains what it means to be dying and the time of death is approaching.
The dry fingers like chicken feet stroked Yi'e's head and touched the small horns on her head.
Inakos showed a somewhat complicated smile, raised his head, and looked at Eros.
“Thank you so much for being able to fulfill my last wish as a dying man, and I have nothing to repay, so I can only express my gratitude superficially.”
“Even so, in the end, , I also want to make a shameless request."
After that, he looked at his daughter again. "As you can see, I am already a dying old man. I have no time and no ability to protect my daughter anymore."
"I pray you, I pray you sincerely, that you may protect my daughter, as a husband protects his bride, from all men, and from all gods."
Inachus's His voice was so weak that it was impossible to tell whether he was sincere or anxious when he said this. There was only weakness and weakness.
"I pray to you. This is a prayer from a father. I hope you can protect her and bless her when she faces difficulties."
A daughter is a father forever. It is an unavoidable knot. When an old father sees his son being beaten, he may just let him practice again.
But it seems that my precious daughter was beaten, which was so heartbreaking that I couldn’t sleep well.
Regarding Io, even if Inachus died, he felt that he would have to remember it every day.
It’s a pity that he is a stowaway and his soul has nowhere to go, let alone his daughter.
Faced with Inakos' request, Eros did not agree, but shook his head.
“You know, I can’t give you such a guarantee.”
“Her fate is only in her own hands, and I can’t protect her all the time. She, because even I can only avoid it.”
Listening to Eros's words, Inakos's eyes were slightly cloudy.
Of course he could see that it was Hera, the supreme queen of heaven, whom the Argolians believed in, who turned his daughter Io into a cow.
That’s why he specially asked his trusted guards to bring Eros and the others in from the side door, in order to avoid the sight of others.
He could not let the news of Io's escape spread, especially in the city of Argos, where there were Hera's temple and priests.
The best thing is to bury the news about Yi'e. Although he doesn't know if it will be useful, this is the last thing he can do.
Still worried, he wanted to try entrusting Yi'e to the mysterious man in front of him.
But the result was obviously rejected.
Eros himself has no way to deal with Hera for the time being, so how can he help Io?
Go up on your own to attract firepower?
Besides, there is Zeus’ plan behind this matter, and Eros might even help Zeus to cooperate.
Eros is not sure yet about Yi'e.
However, he still has some guarantees.
"Although I can't promise what you said, one thing I promise you is that Io will be fine."
Eros said to Inachus.
Probably still a little infected by Inachus's persistence as a father, Eros couldn't help but say more.
"As I told you, there may be many hardships in Yi'e's future, but you don't need to worry about her safety."
"Of course I will protect her, but I won't do it like a flower. Take care of her. ”
“You don’t have to worry about taking too much care of her. Just believe in her, because she has the potential to rival the gods, and her name will be great.”
"Her name is Isis, and she will return to her homeland and become one of the Nine Pillars."
At the end, Inakos' eyes widened suddenly when he heard the name spit out from Eros' mouth.
Maybe he had heard this name before, or maybe he simply had other ideas.
But none of this mattered, because the next moment, his body drooped feebly, and life completely drained from his body.
And his death also symbolizes that Yi'e will embark on a new life.
The bride in Greece does not refer to just one day. A woman will be called a bride until she gets married and gives birth to her first child.
