Pythagoras, everyone knew who he was, he was the father of geometries, there was even a school after he died, they were call the "Pythagoreans" , he wasn't just a mathematician, he was a philosopher and the first "pure" mathematician, although Alfonso wasn't a mathematician, he knew a lot about Pythagoras.

"Is a coincidence? No , it can't be, don't tell me that If go randomly knocking doors, I will find a kid called Newton or Einstein!" Thought Alfonso.

Just as he was about to go back to Tailor' house, a message from the system came to his head.

[Congratulations to host!, you have triggered a sub mission from the Hero's function!

Sub-mission : The rise of a star!

Description: you have encountered an important hero of the ancient Greek:

Pythagoras, The Mathematician!

The conditions to acquire this hero are as follows:

1) Find Pythagoras(complete)

2) Become the mentor of Pythagoras(incomplete)

3) Hide Pythagoras until you are strong enough(incomplete)

To completely unleash the potential of your hero, you will need to complete the conditions of the system

Remark: Be aware, the young Pythagoras has a complex origin, you will need to be extremely careful, if the enemies find him and you don't have at least one god at the hero level, you will suffer!

Rewards: Pythagoras plus 5000 Drachmas ]

The system gave Alfonso yet another mission, however, this one made Alfonso pondered about some points.

"System, you say that the hero function was based on the ancient Greek, I thought you were referring to the mythology Greek, you know like Perseus or Heracles" Said Alfonso.

[The system have a variety of Heroes, is not limited to the mythology, however, every hero has his or her own conditions ,some of them can be bought just with Drachmas, others have special conditions, like Pythagoras, others need both options, all In all, the system will only remain host that be careful when you plan to release a hero, maybe the conditions to release him or her are not met and you will have paid the drachmas in vain]

"…. You know, you need to say these things sooner, when he said Pythagoras I almost got a heart attack" Said Alfonso.

[Dear host….

You didn't ask] Say the robotic voice of the system.

"…" Alfonso was speechless.

After some time, he returned to the manor, he had to pause sometimes though, his leg was hurting even with the help of the cane of Chrono.

"Chirp?" Said little blue with a worry face.

"Don't worry…. I already get used to it….still…. This really sucks" Said Alfonso with a bitter smile.

After he got back, Artemis was already in the manor.

"Artemis, how was the hunting" Asked Alfonso.

"….. As usual..." Said Artemis, she seemed like she wanted to say anything, this was clear to Alfonso because she was looking at his leg.

"Just say what you want to say" Said Alfonso.

"Alfonso, you shouldn't go outside without company, you are injured" Said Artemis with her cold face.

Alfonso was taken back, he thought for a second.

"Are you worry about me?" Asked Alfonso.

"... yes, I am" Said Artemis.

Alfonso was surprised once again. He was surprised that Artemis, this hated-woman was worry about him…. However, he wasn't so surprised about this fact, the fact that surprised him was she said it just as it was natural.

"She isn't supposed to be that kind of people… you know… cold outside… warm inside…author…. You aren't following the script" Thought Alfonso.

After some time, Alfonso just smiled kindly.

"Thank you, I will have Ribi or Demeter accompany me the next time"

"Mmmm… If I am free, I don't mind accompany you" Said Artemis while going back to her room.

Alfonso also went back to his room, he was very tired. Little blue followed him.

"Chirp!" Said Little blue.

"? What's up little fellow? Are you hungry?" Asked Alfonso.

"Chirp-chirp~" Said little blue.

"Ok, let me look at the system maybe I can find something for you to eat…..mmmm…. Here is some wheat" Said Alfonso.

Little chirp happily and ate the wheat.

"Is a shame that the weather doesn't help or else I wouldn't need to buy seeds" Thought Alfonso.

The system had some useful resources however, the weather in Wasteland Valley was close to Russia's, however, the weather on the ancient Greek was a tropical one.

"Well, not used to regret now, anyway, Cerberus should be waking up by the end of tomorrow, it would good that his fangs re-grow, the hunting is going good, we have enough food for the commoners to survive for some time with 2 meals a day, although it's not enough, it will have to do for now, Ribeiro should come in the next 4 days…. Well , all in all, everything is going smoothly, you don't just love when everything goes according to plan?" Thought Alfonso with a satisfied smile.

[Tulip Town]

Tulip Town was at the south-east of Wasteland Valley, it was five to six on horse, although they were neighbors, Tupip Town was half the size of Wasteland Valley, their main economic source was the olvie, they didn't have a forest near them like Wasteland Valley, so they needed to buy meat from other cities. Felio Grimo, the lord of this town, was having a headache.

"My lord, Wasteland Valley have already fallen, the horde may appear at Tulip Town at any moment!" Said the personal advisor of Felio.

"I know…. We need to be prepared, Arcadia won't let this opportunity go, that fucker of Titio has eyes in this town since a long time ago....." Said Felio.

"My lord, we should make countermeasures for this possibility, if the horde really comes, at least, we need to protect you and the royal family!" Said the advisor.

"Leonardo, don't forget that we still have the protection of her majesty Diana…. My daughter is committed to one of its generals after all" Said Felio.

"Your majesty… we both know that general Lucino almost killed miss Susana!" Said Leonardo with indignation.

Susana was the daughter of Felio, Lucino was a general under Diana, Alfonso's sister, when he was young, he saw Susana in dragon city, he immediately wanted her, and, with the excuse of a military issue, she raped Susana and worse yet, she became pregnant. Felio was so enraged that he wanted to fight with Lucio until death, however, her majesty Diana inter, she punished Lucio sending him to the border lines between both empires and forced him to compromise with Susana, Lucio had to accept, after some time, a notice came from Susana, she tried to lose the baby falling down from a cliff; she succeeded, however, she also lost the mobility in both legs.

When Lucio heard about this, he breathe a sigh of relieve, he didn't want any child after all, even less coming from the daughter of a far away town like Tulip city, overall, Susana could be described just a whim of him. Diana also heard about this, yet, she didn't say anything.

"We can't depend on her majesty…. My lord, I have some news that you may find interesting" Said suddenly Leonardo

"Now what?" Said Felio

"The guards have informed me that someone came to Tulip Town just a few days ago, he bought a huge amount of seeds and then leave…. His destination was the north…. Wasteland Valley!" Said Leonardo.

"What? Why should someone go to Wasteland Valley that dead land." Said Felio with confusion.

"I don't know; however, I already send the Cats to follow him" Said Leonardo

"Good job let's wait for the news then."

.......

"This journey is finally ending, I will be in home after some 2 days, his majesty will be happy, I made a good deal with these seeds!" Said Ribeiro while traveling in his carriage.

He didn't notice that four shadows were quietly following him.
