"Yes!"
So the two of them hurried in the direction where the arrow was flying.
Then at this time.
Hilde was looking for something that concerned her in the forest. She had been in the forest for nearly 20 minutes and had found nothing. However, the feeling was getting stronger and stronger. Although Hilde smelled a hint of danger in the air, she felt that she still needed to go inside and see what it was.
"...?"
In Hilde's subconscious.
Suddenly, an extremely strong sense of crisis broke out.
That feeling was different from the others. It was a sense of crisis she had never experienced before. If she didn't handle it well, she might lose her life. Hilde had never had such a premonition before, so she didn't ignore it, but stepped back several steps. At the same time, she could hear a deafening sound of breaking wind. A black lightning and fire rushed towards her.
"what!"
Hilde quickly turned sideways.
But the arrow hit Hilde's shoulder directly.
Obviously, the arrow was aimed at Hilde's heart, but at the most critical moment, Hilde quickly dodged, and the arrow had no way to adjust its angle, so it hit Hilde's shoulder directly. This was the first time Hilde was injured. The powerful impact directly lifted Hilde into the air, and the arrow pierced her shoulder, nailing her to a tree, unable to move.
"Damn..."
The arrow that Hilde wanted to pull out.
But at this moment, dense runes suddenly appeared on the bow and arrow. When Hilde was about to use her hands to shoot, the runes suddenly burst into a clear light, and then there were visible electric sparks, flowing freely on Hilde's body. The strong electric shock paralyzed Hilde's whole body in an instant, and she found that her divine power seemed to be sealed.
This feeling……
Oops!
Hilde's instinct told her that danger was coming.
The fourth tune, the fifth section, the discovered Hilde
But now she had no ability to struggle.
And consciousness is gradually dissipating.
The strange power contained in this bow and arrow not only sealed Hilde's divine power, but also corroded her brain, gradually dissipating her consciousness. This was a very dangerous thing. Once she lost consciousness, she would be at the mercy of others. But who in this world was so powerful that he could not only shoot the arrow just now, but also make Hilde lose any ability to resist.
As expected, the feeling just now...
Just as Hilde was thinking this.
In the end, she couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a coma.
In less than 5 minutes, two people had already rushed to this place. Tomyris noticed the silver-haired woman who was shot on the tree stump at first sight. She was also surprised for a moment, because the feeling given by the silver-haired woman was really amazing. She was as beautiful as Artemis, and the clothes she wore were also very expensive silk purple robes. It can be seen that she was a noble from Greece.
The arrow had shot through her shoulder and pinned her to the tree stump. She didn't know whether she was dead or alive, but now she had no reaction. Just as Desensitization was about to say something to Artemis, Artemis had already seen the woman he had shot on the tree.
"How can it be……"
"Master Artemis, what's wrong?"
"No...this is impossible..."
It was the first time that Tomyris saw such an obviously shaken expression on Artemis' face. In her mind, Artemis had always been a very confident and excellent goddess, but now she suddenly showed this expression, making Tomyris a little unsure of what to do. At this time, Artemis rushed forward, and she jumped lightly onto the tree stump, then stretched out her hand and pulled out the bow and arrow.
She held the unconscious silver-haired woman in her arms, landed steadily on the ground, and then gently placed her on the ground. Artemis knelt on the ground, holding the face of the silver-haired woman, and looked at it carefully. It was as if she was confirming something very important, but after confirming it again and again, Artemis said in surprise.
"Really! It's actually true!!!"
"Master Artemis, who is this?"
"It's Athena!!!"
Artemis could no longer control her emotions. Although as a goddess, she had to show her mysterious nobility in front of humans, when she saw Athena, who had been missing for 15 years, appear before her, Artemis could no longer control her tears.
"Is this Lady Athena!?"
Tomyris was also in deep surprise.
I didn't expect that the famous Athena would appear in this place.
Artemis also hurriedly checked her body, and finally confirmed after repeated checks that the silver-haired woman in front of her was just unconscious and should be fine. However, there was also a bigger question in front of her, that is, why did the other person have a smell that she hated. If the other person was really Athena, this should not happen.
Could it be just someone who looks like Athena?
That is impossible.
Artemis knew very well that the appearance of gods would always be superior to that of mortals. No matter how beautiful a mortal woman was, she could not be compared with these goddesses. This was the most basic situation that the gods had established when they created humans. Humans were based on gods as a model, so if this was the case, humans who imitated gods would definitely not have the same beauty as gods. Moreover, Artemis had almost never heard of a situation where someone looked exactly like Athena.
Then it is basically certain.
She is Athena herself.
But why Athena has been wandering in the mortal world for 15 years, and why she has not been found until now, but suddenly appeared in this place, these are all worth pondering. But no matter how many questions Artemis has in her heart now, what can be confirmed now is that Athena has been in a coma, and all the questions in the past must wait until Athena wakes up before they can be explored.
"Tomyris."
"I'm here."
"Although you are a mortal from the divine world, there are many things I cannot tell you, but the matter of Athena must be kept secret from everyone. You must remember everything you see and hear from me today, and you cannot tell anyone."
"Yes!"
For Tomyris.
Artemis was still very relieved.
Let her keep the secret and nothing will go wrong.
The most important thing now is to transfer Athena to a safe place, because the gods are now looking for Athena. But Artemis believes that Athena will never betray the Olympian gods, so instead of letting Zeus find Athena and control her, it is better for Artemis to find out the truth of the matter herself, even if it is most likely to make her commit a serious crime.
After checking Athena's body and confirming that the attack just now did not cause fatal damage to Athena, Artemis and Tomyris sent Athena to their tent. Tomyris prepared a bed for Athena, and Artemis used his divine power to repair and heal Athena's body.
However, while treating Athena, Artemis discovered something unusual.
This body is undoubtedly Athena, and it also contains some relatively rare divine power. This divine power is probably not much different from the divine power contained in a hero or an oracle, but compared with a real god, the density of this divine power is obviously too little.
In addition, she used her divine power to explore Athena's body and found that this body had lost its divine nature. In other words, this was completely a mortal's body, and it was no longer a god's body. In other words, the current Athena was actually a human being, a completely different existence from a god. It was just that her appearance completely inherited everything from Athena. And deep in her body, Artemis could feel that something was deeply sealed up, hidden in the core of Athena's body, and that place could not be touched even by Artemis' divine power. If she strengthened her own power and tried to touch the sealed substance, the sealed thing would suddenly bounce Artemis' divine power away.
There are so many things to be suspicious of.
Now Artemis was becoming more and more worried.
She always felt that things might not be as simple as she had thought before.
The sealed object is most likely the artifact that Athena "stole", the original book of creation. But why is this object sealed deep in Athena's soul, and has a strong counterattack against any attempt to touch it. Why did Athena lose her divinity and become a mortal? And then she appeared on the border between the Kingdom of Scythia and the Thracians. This series of questions made Artemis feel that something was wrong.
Everything will have to wait until she wakes up.
That night.
Tomyris also received an urgent report.
The soldiers told her that the envoy from the Byzantine Kingdom, who was also the queen of the Byzantine Kingdom, had disappeared in the forest. The Scythian escort team searched many times but could not find any trace of the Byzantine queen. Tomyris thought this was a little strange. She thought of the woman who was called Athena by Artemis just now. The clothes she wore were obviously the clothes that only Greek nobles would wear.
Could it be that this Athena is actually the queen of Byzantium?
So Tomyris quickly returned to her own tent.
"Lady Artemis."
"what happened?"
Artemis was sitting next to Athena at this time, quietly looking at Athena's sleeping face.
"I just received a report from the soldiers that something happened to the Byzantine envoys who came here. The queen of the Byzantine Kingdom came in person, but disappeared in the forest. I feel that this Lady Athena may be the queen of the Byzantine Kingdom, because she is wearing the clothes of Greek nobles." Tomyris also expressed her guess, "But now she is in a coma. How should I explain to the envoys of the Byzantine Kingdom?"
"Are you sure she is really the queen of the Byzantine Empire?"
"I'm not sure yet. It's just my guess. But I've asked the soldiers to send the other side's envoy to me first. I will ask them the specific questions in detail."
"If you are sure, you can ask them to come over and tell them that she met with an accident in the forest, but she is not seriously injured and was rescued by us." Artemis gently patted Athena's shoulder and said to Tomyris, "Remember what I told you in the forest."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Then leave it to you."
After leaving the battalion commander, Tomyris came to the place where the Byzantine envoys were placed. At this time, Amyntas was yelling at these Scythians angrily. He was really in extreme anger. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen in the territory of the Scythian Kingdom?
His own queen was missing.
Amyntas really couldn't accept this.
Hilde was found in the sixth quarter of the fourth period
"You must find our Queen now, or you will go to war with the Byzantine Empire!"
"Please be patient, sir. We are already doing our best to search for you."
"Where's your princess?"
"Lady Tomyris already knows about this matter. She will be here soon."
Tomyris, who had already arrived here, heard the shouting in the house, and walked over quickly and stood in front of Amyntas. At this time, Amyntas lowered his head and found a little girl standing coldly in front of him. This little girl was quite strange, with a pair of triangular ears like a beast on her head. Just when Amyntas was about to say something, the Scythian officer next to him said very respectfully: "Lord Tomyris!"
"Leave the things here to me."
"Yes!"
These Scythian officers retreated quickly.
Although Amyntas was angry, he knew that he had to be polite to the other party. Since it was Tomyris in the legend, Amyntas quickly restrained his emotions and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being so rude. For us loyal warriors, the life and safety of Her Majesty the Queen are more important than everything else we have. Now, Her Majesty the Queen has disappeared, and we are very anxious."
"I know. I can understand all of this, so I came here to talk about this."
Tomyris looked at Amyntas calmly.
"First, tell me what your queen looks like? What kind of clothes does she wear?"
"Her Majesty the Queen has long silver hair that no one else has, purple eyes, and this time she was wearing a purple robe."
"I understand."
Tomyris understood everything after hearing this.
"We found an unconscious woman in the forest today. Her appearance is exactly the same as your description. It seems that she is the Queen of the Byzantine Kingdom. Don't worry, she is now well taken care of and is sleeping."
"real!"
Amyntas was overjoyed.
At this time, Sophia and Dioni also ran out quickly.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?!"
"No, Your Majesty has found it!"
Hearing this, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief.
"Very good……"
"Where is His Majesty now? We need to go there!"
"Of course, I'll take you there now."
Tomyris led them to her tent. Amyntas and the others walked in impatiently and saw Hilde lying on a bed, and a black-haired woman with a ponytail sitting beside her patiently taking care of her. At this time, Sophia, who had been worried for a long time, rushed over.
"Sissi!!!"
"Don't worry, she's fine."
Artemis looked at the men.
However, she had many questions she wanted to ask them, but she couldn't ask them now because they didn't know she was Artemis. In this place, she was just a maid beside Tomyris. So many questions could only be asked by Tomyris.
"What exactly happened at that time?"
At this time, Amyntas couldn't help but ask.
"Why did your majesty become like this?"
"We don't know either."
Tomyris shook her head.
"How is this possible... Your Majesty is an oracle, the oracle of Athena. The one who can make Your Majesty suddenly faint is definitely not an ordinary person." Amyntas began to analyze, but for Artemis who was sitting and listening quietly, the previous sentence was very eye-catching. Because she was talking about the oracle of Athena, which means that the identity of the person lying here in this world is Athena, and the oracle is the queen of the Byzantine Kingdom, not the goddess Athena.
"But your Majesty is not in any danger of life. You just need to have a good rest and everything will be fine." Tomyris looked at Sophia, who was crying with joy, and said helplessly, "I'm sorry that this happened when you were about to visit me. It's my fault for not doing a good job of protecting you."
