Chapter 179 Eurytus, King of Ocharia
The narrow and long island of Eubia blocked the sea outlet of the Thebes region from the north and south.
Because the shortest distance between Eubia and Thebes is only about 50 meters, the earliest residents of Eubia were immigrants from Thebes, and the two regions have always had a very special relationship.
When the former Theban king Lainus was killed, his trusted servant was a Eubian.
Hercules was born and raised in Thebes. The reason why Eurytus, the king of Ocharia on Eubia, became Hercules' archery teacher was also because of the special relationship between Thebes and Eubia.
In order to conduct maritime trade, Thebes regarded the seaport of Eubia as its own port.
As the hub of maritime trade in Thebes, Ocharia on Eubia accumulated wealth and became a rich and powerful city-state.
Eubia.
Ocharia.
In order to send Ariadne back to her hometown, Luo Yin brought Ariadne and Hypercybele to the palace of King Eurytus.
Upon learning of Luo Yin's arrival, Eurytus held a banquet for Luo Yin.
The palace hall.
Luo Yin walked in with Ariadne and Hypercybele, and saw Eurytus, wearing a crown, sitting at the dining table, ordering the palace maid to bring wine and food, and Yin'e'le, who looked a little gloomy, sat next to him.
Seeing that Eurytus did not sit on his throne, but treated him like a relative, Luo Yin came to Eurytus and said, somewhat flattered.
"Dear King Eurytus, I am Haemon who came to visit you without permission."
"Dear Haemon, you can be as casual as if you were back home."
Eurytus said as he invited Luo Yin to sit down.
"Your father Creon and I are old friends, and you are also a child I watched grow up. I have always liked your kindness and gentleness, and I treat you as my own child."
While speaking, Eurytus also pushed the wine and food on the table to Luo Yin.
Luo Yin looked at Yin'erle while saying thank you.
Now Yin'erle is ten years younger, just a young girl under the age of twenty, and her identity is no longer Luo Yin's woman.
Aware of Luo Yin's gaze, Yin'erle looked at Luo Yin and then took the initiative to speak.
"Brother Haimeng, long time no see. The two girls around you have the temperament of royal princesses. Can I know their identities?"
Brother Haimeng——
In the past, Yin'erle always regarded him as the master, but now when he heard the name of brother, Luo Yin's expression on his face was a little bit tense.
Before Luo Yin spoke, Ariadne lay on Luo Yin's back and said to Yin'erle as if to declare sovereignty.
"I am my brother's sister and wife."
"Sister? You don't look like Antigone or Insimone!"
"I am Ariadne, the princess of Crete! Although I have no blood relationship with my brother, I am his real sister."
Looking at Ariadne's hostile expression, In'er couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I am a poor princess who is destined to be single for life. You don't need to worry that I will become your rival in love."
Eurytus kept his eyes on Hypersibel and asked Luo Yin with a serious expression.
"Haemon, how could Queen Hypersibel be with you? I heard that a group of pirates attacked the island of Lemnos. Did you buy Queen Hypersibel who became a trophy and slave?"
As a true hero king, Eurytus was not only an Argonaut who participated in the Golden Fleece Journey, but also a Calydonian hero who hunted the Calydonian boar.
So Luo Yin was not surprised that Eurytus knew Hypersibel.
"Hypersibel is indeed the slave I bought."
After Luo Yin frankly admitted it, Eurytus said with a complicated expression.
"The weakening of Lemnos Island to the point of being attacked by pirates is all due to the sins we committed on Lemnos Island in the past. Haemon! I want to help Queen Hypersibel redeem her freedom. I will double the amount of wealth you use to buy her."
Luo Yin shook his head and said.
"King Eurytus! Actually, I came to visit you today just to ask you to arrange a ship for me. I want to go on a long voyage to the east coast of the Black Sea, send Ariadne back to the Colchis region, and send Hypersibel back to Lemnos Island on the way."
"You-really deserve to be the kind Haemon."
After praising Luo Yin with a sincere smile, Eurytus continued.
"I heard that Polynices is going to start a war with the help of Adrastus, the king of Argos, in order to regain his throne. Does Thebes need reinforcements from Okaria?"
"No!"
Luo Yin said without hesitation.
"Now we have many powerful heroes in Thebes. The defeat of Argos is doomed before the war even begins."
Looking at Luo Yin's confident look, Eurytus said with a hesitant expression.
"If your Kingdom of Thebes can really defeat the Kingdom of Argos, I would like to help your Kingdom of Thebes even more. Because I want to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Thebes and use the power of the Kingdom of Thebes to fight against the powerful Mycenae Kingdom."
Speaking of this, Eurytus looked at Yin Erle beside him and said.
"Your sister Yin'ele is about to turn twenty years old, and she can't get married yet. It's because of Hercules and the Kingdom of Mycenae. After I refused to marry Yin'ele to Heracles, Hercules Les then threatened that anyone who wanted to marry Yin'ele would become the enemy of Hercules. Heracles himself had unrivaled military power among humans, and behind him was the powerful Kingdom of Mycenae. I don’t want to keep your sister Yin’ele from marrying because of Hercules’ threat, so I want to form an alliance against the Kingdom of Mycenae.”
After hearing what Eurytus said, Luo Yin said with a cold face.
"King Eurytus, damn Hercules will die soon. This lunatic Hercules killed sister Megara and my two nephews. I have decided to kill Hercules. Wait for Hercules As soon as Racles died, suitors who wanted to pursue Sister Yin'ele would naturally come to the city of Okalia in an endless stream. "
"You're going to challenge Hercules—"
Eurytus said with a wry smile.
"Young Haemon, you are not a young hero with powerful force. To be honest, your strength is about the same as that of an ordinary soldier. Even if there are a hundred of you combined, I am afraid that you cannot defeat Hercules, so you should give up on Hemon. The idea of Racletus’ revenge!”
Yin Ele couldn't help but said to Luo Yin.
"Brother Haemon! Crazy Hercules has killed my innocent brother Inphitus. I don't want to see you killed by Hercules too."
Seeing that neither Eurytus nor Yin'ele thought they could challenge Hercules, Luo Yin said with a smile.
"When the war in Thebes begins, I will prove to you on the battlefield that I really have the strength to kill Hercules."
