Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 460 Golden Apple

"I surrender……"

There was a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in Enoki's voice. She knew that there was no chance of winning this battle and it would be futile to continue insisting.

Defeat was inevitable. Enoki knew that with his current strength, he could not compete with his opponent at all, and any further resistance would only lead to his death.

Since the opponent had already admitted defeat, Xi Yeming put down the knife in his hand without hesitation and put it away. After all, this knife is extremely dangerous and may hurt himself or others if he is not careful, so it is safer to put it away.

"Go see your sister."

Xi Yeming waved his right hand, and the sandstorm that was raging in the passage gradually stopped as the supply of magic power was stopped.

When Enoki heard this, she felt as if she had been pardoned. She ran towards her sister anxiously, as if she couldn't wait even a second.

"catalpa!"

Enoki finally arrived at her sister's side. Without even taking a breath, she quickly squatted down and gently checked her sister's physical condition.

"Um……"

Qi's eyelids trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were a little confused, and it seemed that she had not yet fully woken up from her coma.

When Chu's vision gradually became clear, the first person she saw was Sister Enoki, which made her feel warm and at ease.

When her gaze moved to Xi Yeming behind Sister Enoki, the dark shadow she saw before she fainted suddenly flashed through her mind, and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Second sister, be careful of that man, he is...!"

Qi's voice was filled with fear and worry. She wanted to remind Sister Enoki to be aware of Xi Yeming's danger, but the words suddenly stopped at her lips.

"What are you careful about?"

Xi Yeming seemed to sense Chu's fear. He walked slowly behind Enoki, a look of curiosity on his face, and asked tentatively.

"Eh?"

Qi had never expected Xi Yeming to suddenly interrupt. She looked at Xi Yeming in astonishment, then turned to look at her second sister, and was a little at a loss for a moment.

Seeing her sister's stunned look, Enoki couldn't help but find it a little funny. She gently touched her hair and comforted her: "The battle is over, we didn't win."

"We lost too..."

This sentence seems to carry an endless sense of loss, which makes people sigh.

Qi puffed up her cheeks with a look of self-blame, she obviously couldn't accept such a result. She widened her eyes and looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, as if all this shouldn't have happened.

In stark contrast to Qi, Xi Yeming turned around and faced the passage without any concern. His movements seemed somewhat casual, as if the outcome of this match was not that important to him.

Xi Yeming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. His eyes fell on Chu and he asked softly, "You should have a sister named Chu, right?"

Qi nodded and replied, "Yes, she is the strongest among us."

Xi Yeming said "Oh" thoughtfully, and then responded nonchalantly: "When will she come to see me?"

Enoki looked at Xi Yeming curiously and couldn't help interrupting and asking, "Aren't you worried?"

Xi Yeming raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you worried about?"

Enoki said bluntly: "I'm worried that I'll lose."

Hearing this, Xi Yeming suddenly laughed, and that laughter seemed to contain a hint of sarcasm and helplessness.

“Hehehe…” He chuckled a few times and then said slowly, “Although I do have reasons why I cannot lose, sometimes winning or losing, right or wrong cannot be the answer to life.”

His words were like a profound philosophical statement, and it was difficult for people to understand the deep meaning of it. Although Enoki did not fully understand it, she had a higher opinion of Xi Yeming.

At this moment, Enoki took out a golden apple from somewhere and handed it to his sister Chu. Chu saw this and took the apple naturally without any hesitation and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

Xi Yeming noticed the unusual things in the hands of the two women, and vaguely recalled something.

"Isn't that thing you eat called the Golden Apple?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Is it really a golden apple?!"

The legend of the golden apple has been circulated both in the magical world and in the real world.

In the real world of ancient Greek mythology, the legend of the golden apple is like a bright star, exuding a mysterious and charming charm.

The earliest golden apples came from the earth goddess Gaia. When the earth goddess Gaia married the sky god Uranus, Gaia brought back a lush tree from the west coast, which was full of glittering golden apples. The tree was planted in the sacred garden guarded by the Hesperides sisters and surrounded by a giant dragon Ladon who never sleeps to guard it.

The golden apple has a mysterious effect, and it is said that eating it can give you eternal life. Many heroes embarked on a dangerous journey to find the golden apple, which symbolizes immortality and magic.

Among them, Hercules was asked to pick the golden apples when he completed the twelve heroic deeds. With his extraordinary courage and wisdom, he overcame many difficulties and finally completed this arduous task.

Another famous story of the golden apple is closely related to a dispute and the outbreak of the Trojan War.

At the wedding of the sea goddess Thetis and the hero Peleus, all the gods were invited except Eris, the goddess of discord.

Eris was disgruntled and decided to cause trouble at the wedding by secretly throwing a golden apple with the words "To the most beautiful goddess" inscribed on it into the banquet.

Suddenly, Queen Hera, Goddess of Wisdom Athena and Goddess of Love and Beauty Aphrodite all thought that they were worthy of the golden apple.

The three goddesses were arguing, and Zeus did not want to get involved in the dispute, so he sent them to the Trojan prince Paris for judgment.

In order to get the golden apple, the three goddesses made tempting promises to Paris.

Hera promised to make him the greatest king with supreme power; Athena promised to give him infinite wisdom and the ability to win wars; and Aphrodite promised to make the most beautiful woman in the world fall in love with him.

Paris was moved by Aphrodite's promise and awarded the golden apple to her. Aphrodite fulfilled her promise and helped Paris kidnap the wife of the Spartan king Menelaos, the peerless beauty Helen.

This action aroused the anger of the Greek city-states. They formed an alliance, led by Menelaos' brother Agamemnon, and marched to Troy in a mighty manner, thus marking the beginning of the ten-year-long Trojan War.

On the magical side, the golden apple is a long-lost "fruit". Not only does it have a strong healing effect, it is said that a dying person will gain more life if he eats the golden apple, which is very different from the effect of the golden apple in the real world.
