Chapter 165 Good Words Can't Persuade the Damned

In the dim cave, the gloomy young man named "Asclepius" put down the medical book in his hand, looked deeply at the old man with gray eyes, and frowned.

"Are you really blind?"

"In a world without black and white, you and I are both blind. And what you see may not be longer-term than mine."

The old man, or the blind poet Homer disguised as a certain god of wine, pondered meaningfully, then looked up at the silver-haired boy and changed the subject.

"So, listen to my advice, it's better not to go to Cyprus."

Asclepius picked up the invitation with rose patterns on the table, glanced at the signature of Prince Adonis of Cyprus on it, and spoke lightly.

"I believe my patient, he will not harm me."

"But, he will bring you a lot of trouble."

Lorne knocked his cane forward and gave a earnest advice. His gray eyes looked at the gloomy boy in front of him, revealing a touch of pure kindness.

Asclepius, the son of the god of light Apollo and a mortal princess, is the future god of medicine.

Chiron, the centaur outside the cave, is his teacher, teaching him medicine and hunting.

As the child grows up, his talent in medicine has surpassed his teacher, and he began to walk out of Mount Pelion, practicing medicine in various city-states, and made a great reputation.

This attracted many patients with strange diseases, who invited him to treat them.

Adonis, who sent the invitation, was one of them.

Under the continuous sincere invitation of the patients, the future god of medicine returned to his residence in Mount Pelion after dealing with several cases on hand, preparing to buy some medicinal materials, packing his bags, and going to Cyprus.

However, unlike this future god of medicine who is dedicated to saving people and turns a deaf ear to other things, Loen knows the reason why the prince of Cyprus suffers from a hidden disease and the troubles involved behind it.

Since being attacked by a wild boar transformed by Ares several years ago, the prince of Cyprus has suffered from some kind of male-specific unspeakable secret.

Even the goddess of love Aphrodite, who can make a tampon as hard as a nail, personally stepped in and tried her best, but it was useless.

In desperation, Adonis could not hide it and could only seek help from various doctors.

But after several years of consultations and countless tonics, his symptoms never improved.

As Asclepius, the disciple of the wise Chiron, became famous outside, the overwhelmed Adonis naturally set his sights on this highly skilled doctor and kept inviting him to Cyprus as a guest to solve his hidden illness.

If it was just a simple cure, it would be fine, but behind it was the dispute of the Olympian gods.

Ares managed to scare Adonis, the pretty boy, into a state of illness even after his old lover Aphrodite scratched his face, which slightly reduced the unsatisfied god of love's interest in Adonis.

If he was really cured by the future god of medicine, Ares, the reckless man, would do anything.

Moreover, it was hard to say whether Hephaestus, Zeus and other gods were involved in Adonis's withering.

If the future god of medicine didn't want to get into trouble, the best way was not to get involved.

After all, his father Apollo was still serving a sentence in Thessaly, and his aunt Artemis was too busy to handle. If something unexpected happened, no one could save this kid at present.

A certain cheap uncle looked at his "nephew" in a sense, and he remained calm on the surface, but his mind was already turning around.

According to the original plan, the life and death of this cheap nephew was actually his first choice to plot against Apollo and put the god of light in jail.

But during the Arcadia trip, Pan, the lecherous sheep, happened to run into the gun, directly replacing the role of the future god of medicine, Asclepius.

Therefore, Lorne just went with the flow and did not really take action against this cheap nephew.

Even at the request of his old lover Artemis, he came to Mount Pelion, made friends with the sage Chiron, and "incidentally" took care of this blood relative of Apollo.

But even so, the future god of medicine always liked to get into trouble.

In order to have an explanation in front of his old lover Artemis, and out of respect for the future god of medicine, Lorne deliberately stayed in Mount Pelion for a few more days after knowing the next patient that Asclepius was going to see, trying to persuade him not to take risks.

However, like his father, the god of light, Asclepius was obviously not a person who was willing to listen to advice.

At this time, the future god of medicine in the cave looked at the blind old man in front of him, silent for a moment, and solemnly pondered.

"Gods of heaven and earth bear witness, I am willing to do my best to follow the creed of seeking benefits for the patients, no matter how high the mountains and how far the roads are, or how bumpy the future is!"

As he said this, he carried the packed bag behind him.

Obviously, this ethical future medical god will not easily give up any patient who needs treatment for his own selfish desires and interests.

Seeing that this stubborn bull was about to plunge into the pit, Loen had no choice but to take out a bronze badge from his arms and handed it to the future medical god in front of him.

"Since you insist on going, take this with you."

"What?"

Asclepius looked at the Gorgon pattern in the center of the badge and asked blankly.

"The emblem of the Pandion family, the builder of Athens."

Lorne leaned on his cane and spoke in a deep voice.

"Since you want to cure diseases and save lives, go to Athens after you finish this matter.

There are many people and patients there. And the goddess of wisdom Athena seems to be preparing an academy, hoping to absorb talents from various city-states, which is very suitable for developing academics and studying medicine.

Your teacher Chiron has also accepted the invitation. After a while, maybe you and your apprentice can reunite in Athens."

Asclepius nodded, put the badge in his arms, stood up and walked out of the cave.

And at the moment of stepping out of the cave, the future god of medicine paused slightly, and a low voice came into the cave.

"Although there seems to be a smell on you that I don't like, but, thank you..."

Looking at the figure of the young man walking away and gradually disappearing at the end of the dense forest, Lorne couldn't help but lower his head and sniffed at himself, muttering to himself.

Don't like the smell? Is your nose so sensitive?

Is it because of the nine muses? Or because of his aunt Artemis?

Of course, the most likely reason is probably the divinity of Apollo related to both.

It can be seen that the relationship between the father and son is very bad.

Lorne muttered for a while, shook his head, leaned on his cane, and came to the clear valley.
