Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 102

 Chapter 102: Being Pouted (as titled, 8k)

 Early morning, the city of Knossos.

As the huntress wearing a short skirt and hunting boots went out, holding a bow and arrow and a hunting spear, accompanied by several hounds, smiling heads popped out from the street.

 They either waved hello or shouted loudly.

 “Sister Cynthia, I want to raise a rabbit.”

“Bring me an antelope horn and a pair of snake gallbladders, which are used for medicinal purposes. I will pay you the market price, thank you.”

“It's too cold. Can you please get some warm furs? My wife's craftsmanship is good. She can make any style you want, as long as you can leave some scraps for us.”

“Here, freshly dried figs to eat on the road... No, no, no, no, no, I'm old and can't chew the meat on the mountain...”

　　Artemis took the dried figs and, as usual, looked at the streets on both sides with a faint smile, nodded slightly, and then strode out of the city with the guide who followed her.

All the way to the uninhabited trail, the goddess of hunting put one end of her little finger to her lips and blew a clear whistle. A golden chariot pulled by two golden-antlered deer galloped from the mountain forest.

With the daily tasks easily completed, he set up a fire in the open space, smoked and roasted a washed and skinned antelope, and stewed a pot of delicious mushroom soup with berries, wild vegetables and edible mushrooms.

Compared to the hunting goddess who couldn't put it down, Lorne, as the original owner, was much more straightforward in handling his own licking dog. He kicked its belly unceremoniously and laughed and cursed.

 If you want to have a comfortable dining experience, don't even think about it.

 “I understand, and I will obey your oracle, my lady goddess.”

 Looking at the sharp contrast between them, Artemis, who had fed the dog for two months, couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

There is no way, those ocean fairies are all very delicate and expensive, so if they are left to maintain their weapons and corral the prey, they can still cope with it.

Whether it is the monsters causing trouble in the Crete Mountains or the sirens landing on the Sea of ​​Oceanus, they have all become dead souls under the arrows of this huntress.

As the rich aroma of meat and the salty taste of mushrooms filled the air, the goddess of hunting in the distance came to the fire like a gust of wind. She picked up the bowl and wanted to taste today's game.

“So, the first stop is the rabbit hole?”

 “Go to work and look for a rabbit hole nearby. I'll give you extra food today.”

I have to say that in the past two months since Artemis moved in, the entire island of Crete has become a lot cleaner.

From noon to noon, a nest of snow-white rabbits was arrested and put into a cage on the chariot. Antelope horns, snake gallbladders, and beast furs used to keep out the cold were also collected by Lorne from those unlucky passing animals.

Soon, the antelope on the shelf became burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

Looking at the unlucky ones who were shot into a sieve on the road, Lorne was secretly speechless. He became more and more convinced of the fickle character of this goddess of the moon and hunting, and at the same time, he served this temporary bodyguard more carefully.

Seeing this situation, Artemis had no choice but to take off the weapon from the chariot, with a sullen face, and vent her anger on the blind beasts nearby.

He is indeed a little guy who can make even his aunt praise him. It is more effective to bring him than a whole nymph attendant!

The Hunting Goddess glanced at Lorne, who was patiently preparing lunch next to her. While speaking highly of the guide in her heart, she dropped the white sheep bone in her hand and extended her claws to the other leg of the antelope.

  She seems to like the atmosphere here very much. Although Artemis has not disclosed her true identity, she maintains a subtle kindness to her neighbors in the city.

　　Artemis took the leg of lamb torn off by the guide and couldn't wait to take a bite. The rich juice exploded in her mouth, and the right salty and greasy seasoning made people unable to stop.

 In this regard, the secretary, who has actually taken over the military and political power of the entire Crete, is even more eager for this.

“Now that you know it, why don't you come up quickly?”

No, the Huntress, who had nothing to do, had already started hunting pet rabbits for the little girl.

Therefore, the dignified scribe and the uncrowned king of Crete could only condescend to serve as Artemis's half-time nanny.

 Sure enough, for the magical hounds, food alone cannot abduct them.

Even these small fish and shrimps that emerged are not enough for Artemis to kill.

It has been two full months since the hunting goddess moved into the city of Knossos.

As soon as he arrived at the station, the golden retriever jumped out of the car impatiently, quickly escaped from the clutches of the goddess, and circled around the original owner's trouser legs.

 “Woof!”

Lorne smiled heartily, jumped on the chariot, drove the golden-antlered deer chariot, and drove this hunting goddess who was a little more humane and a little less aloof to the jungle of the Crete Mountains.

  After all, with this humanoid fort in charge, his workload in public security control has been greatly reduced.

Leave aside everything else, in terms of cooking skills alone, it is not comparable to that of the nymph attendants.

 In the past, these matters were taken care of by the twenty nymph attendants under Artemis.

 After a while, a bowl of warm mushroom soup is consumed. The slight acidity from the berries, the deliciousness of the mushrooms, and the crispness of the wild vegetables bloom on the taste buds, bringing a pleasant dining experience.

 But for some reason, the hunting goddess has not had the slightest intention of calling her nymph attendants over until now.

 It is not impossible to ask them to lower themselves and make a fire to cook.

“Eat this for lunch? It feels good. Give me a bowl of soup first.”

But the licking dog happened to take this trick. After hearing the order, he immediately barked happily, turned around and rushed to the hunting ground, searching for traces of the hare hole.

 But Artemis's evaluation of the meal was that it was edible.

As a guide, in addition to leading the way, his daily work was to maintain the bow and arrow chariot and prepare meals for the hunting goddess.

Artemis, who boarded the chariot, rolled her eyes at the talkative guide and threw the dried figs and reins in her arms over.

Lorne pointed at the city of Knossos behind him, which was bathed in the morning light, and asked with a half-smile.

As long as their requests are not excessive, she will nod in agreement;

 As long as she nods, she will basically do it.

It wasn't until she enjoyed the guide's craftsmanship and brewing skills that she realized how much she had spoiled her tongue with the burnt, blackened or half-cooked barbecue, the tasteless white water, and the dry wheat cakes that made her throat irritate.

Moreover, in addition to his cooking skills, this guide's performance in other aspects is also remarkable.

 Everything from weapon maintenance to daily schedule can be arranged in an orderly manner.

No wonder even the visionary King Minos planned to choose him as his successor.

It has to be said that with such an almost omnipotent follower by her side, she became more and more disdainful of her nymph attendants who were so rich that they complained about being tired every day.

But unfortunately, in another month, I will almost return to Olympus.

By then, not only this excellent service, but also the best golden retriever will wave goodbye to itself.

Thinking of this, Artemis suddenly felt a little depressed.

But then, a flash of lightning flashed in her mind, and a brilliant idea came to her.

 “I still lack a qualified divine attendant...”

 The goddess of hunting dropped another white sheep bone and spoke casually.

As a chaste virgin, this is the first time she has extended such an invitation to humans of the opposite sex.

However, the guide who was turning over the roasted mutton just replied with a faint "hmm" and seemed not to understand the implication of her words.

Seeing this situation, Artemis simply put down her reserve, cleared her throat, and made her words clear.

 “I think you're quite suitable.”

 “When the meat is cooked, eat it while it's hot.”

"oh…"

As another leg of lamb was handed over, the Hunting Goddess subconsciously took it in her hand and took a bite.

But soon, she realized something was wrong, and immediately pulled the leg of lamb out of her mouth, looking at the guide beside her with a dark face.

 “What do you mean? You don't want to?”

if not?

 At this time, Lorne couldn't help but secretly curse in his heart.

Sister, the bargaining chip that Athena used to recruit me was from a god. She was so generous that she separated her own divinity and cast it into a bronze snake armor;

 King Minos asked me to resist the thunder. Not only did he send three of his artifacts, he also sent his daughter and the throne in a package;

As for your aunt Hestia, let alone, I can fool you from the inside out, she and her throne will be mine sooner or later;

Now, you just want to lure me to be your nanny with a mere divine attendant, and you also want to get an extra dog along the way. Isn't this too stingy?

However, even though he felt a sense of contempt in his stomach, Lorne declined the invitation in a more tactful way.

　　"Lady Athena's instructions have not yet been completed, King Minos has not yet repaid his kindness, and Lady Hestia is also kind to me, so..."

As the above three were pushed out to take the blame, the originally aggressive Artemis suddenly lost her temper and had no choice but to extinguish the thought of recruiting in her heart.

 There is no other way. It is really difficult to **** people from these three hands.

 It's just a whim. If it doesn't work, it won't work!

The Hunting Goddess, who failed to achieve her wish, snorted with mock disdain in her heart and stood up angrily holding the sheepskin water bag.

 “Take care of this place, I'll go get some water from the front!”

 Speaking, Artemis stood up with a cold face and walked towards the stream in the valley ahead.

 Looking at the hunting goddess who had obviously had a little temper, Lorne suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and was even more grateful for his original choice.

 As expected, Hestia is best deceived and satisfied.

Isn't it just that the craftsmanship is good?

 Isn't it just to serve Zhou Daodian?

 Isn't it just a good dog?

 What's so great about it? I have twenty attendants!

At the wall, Artemis muttered angrily in her heart and tried to make amends for herself. At the same time, she came upstream and prepared to bend down and put the water bag into the stream to get water.

 The moment he lowered his head, a reflection appeared on the water, and then caught the goddess's eyes.

 Is there anyone? !

 Artemis subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the other side.

 Suddenly, a handsome and sunny smiling face came into her eyes, and a strong thought suddenly came into the goddess's heart.

 —This is perhaps the most beautiful **** who should not have existed after chaos. His blond hair and bright eyes are the most beautiful among gods. Both gods and humans will bow before him...

“Beautiful goddess, seeing you hunting alone in the mountains, I have been deeply impressed by your heroic appearance. Please allow me to become your attendant and serve you.”

That low-pitched request poured into the ears, making people listen subconsciously.

Just when Artemis was about to speak, a figure appeared in her mind, and a certain reluctance caused a brief moment of confusion in her eyes.

 “Attendant, I...I have...”

 The unexpected reverberation made the figure on the other side obviously stunned.

But then, a ferocious look twisted to the extreme with anger appeared on that handsome face, and a deep voice filled with darkness.

“Then if we kill him, won't the position be free?”

Those words are like a magic spell, as if they are constantly stirring and swirling in the heart, gradually filling the entire mental world and becoming the only background.

“Artemis? The water hasn't been fetched yet…”

 The questions behind him and the footsteps approaching from far away were like hot oil poured on the flames.

 In an instant, the goddess of hunting grabbed her waist with both hands and stretched her body.

Almost instantly, as Lorne was walking towards the bank of the stream, a biting chill suddenly shot through his body, and the twelve-sided dice in his head buzzed and trembled crazily.

Danger!

Lorne subconsciously jumped forward and instinctively evaded.

 “Puff, puff, puff!”

The moment he lay down, a whistling sharp arrow passed over his head dangerously, piercing through dozens of thick fir trees in a row.

 “Boom~~!”

With the roar one after another, the ancient trees that were cut off at the waist fell to the ground, stirring up thick smoke and dust.

From the corner of his eye, he saw a continuous stretch of white land behind him, and Lorne couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

 Almost, he was almost dead!

 “Artemis!”

Lorne shouted angrily and looked at the instigator on the river bank.

 The Hunting Goddess turned back somewhat stiffly. The moment her eyes saw a certain face, an almost sick smile suddenly broke out on her dull face.

　　Yes, kill…

 Since it has been rejected, no one wants it!

The goddess stretched her arms, the tough bow strings were creaking, golden ripples appeared in the air, and a golden light arrow gathered together, ready to go.

As his breath was locked by some kind of power, Lorne suddenly felt his scalp numb, and the twelve-sided die in his head was shaking violently, almost leaving an afterimage.

Shou released his hand, the bowstring trembled, and a bright golden light came in an instant. Due to the locking of breath, there is no way to escape or avoid.

Realizing that the situation was critical, Lorne didn't have time to think too much. He subconsciously activated his divine power. The God of War belt around his waist rose with rich blood. The pure **** of war was like a burning red flame, attached to his body surface, and followed by With a long bronze sword in his hand that was slashing forward, the flow surged wildly.

"when!"

In a sharp jingle of gold and iron, the bronze sword in Lorne's hand that had been with him for several months was shattered inch by inch.

But at the same time, the indestructible golden light arrow also shifted a few inches, grazing the side of Lorne's cheek with a slight difference, and crashed into the dense forest behind him.

 “Boom!”

A violent explosion followed, and a hole nearly a hundred meters in diameter was blasted out of the hard rock ground.

The biting wind howled past his ears, and a stream of warm liquid slid down the side of his cheek. Lorne raised his slightly trembling hands and looked at the cracked tiger's mouth, his expression changed drastically.

 Hmm, this crazy **** is really ready to kill her!

Had Athena not left him the Ares military belt containing the divinity of war for protection before leaving, he might have been able to open the banquet with the arrow just now.

This sudden change made Lorne's soul wander, and at the same time, he felt a strong sense of dissonance in his heart.

　　Something is wrong. Even if you reject her, you won't be so cowardly that you just kill her and silence her, right?

As his thoughts surged, he subconsciously looked around, and suddenly saw a figure who was supposed to be dead on the far opposite bank.

 —Orion!

At this moment, the face that always had a simple and honest expression had torn away the disguise, and the moment he saw Lorne, his eyes were filled with jealousy and madness.

Damn bedbug, a foreigner who is nothing, why do you argue with me!

“Beautiful goddess, if we kill this troublesome guy, nothing can stand in our way.”

 The hunter urged, the madness stemming from revenge in his heart turning into a twisted pleasure.

 I have to watch with my own eyes this **** who has blocked the road several times, being tortured and killed in front of him.

 He is the one who is doing something wrong!

 At the moment when the target was confirmed, Lorne's mind raced, and countless information and clues were integrated in his mind, and he deduced the real reason why Artemis lost control.

 —Love the power of God!

Poseidon made peace with Hephaestus on behalf of Aphrodite and Ares, not just to court the **** of love!

 What he really wants is the power of love given by Aphrodite!

Combined with the natural disaster of the beast tide, Poseidon risked his life to get back the only half of Orion, and the answer was already revealed.

Not only did he want the entire island of Crete, he also planned to use his demigod descendant with excellent hunting talents to establish a relationship with the hunting **** Artemis, form an alliance, and then drag his brother Apollo into the water.

 What if we pass through Crete and successfully force Athena to submit?

Then, in Poseidon's camp, there are five main gods including Ares, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, and Apollo. Together with himself, he can occupy Olympus. Nearly half of the twelve gods.

In addition, Hephaestus will probably remain neutral due to the kindness of the sea goddess Thetis, Demeter, the **** of agriculture, has a cold war with Zeus because of her daughter Persephone, and Hera, the queen of heaven, hates her husband. The cheating has long been unbearable, Hestia has long withdrawn from the struggle for divine power, and what Hermes is best at is to adapt to the situation...

In this way, Zeus will be turned into a loner by Poseidon, who has long planned it.

 The supreme divine power of Olympus may not be incapable of being replaced.

 In order to achieve this ultimate goal, whether it is to use the Minos as a bargaining chip to force Athena to submit, or to use King Minos' golden retriever to please the hunting god, the ownership of Crete is crucial!

 Hence, he spent a lot of effort to launch the beast tide just to gather these necessary conditions.

 In the real mythological records, Poseidon's plan seems to have been successful.

Orion, who likes to hunt in the jungle all day long, brings a loyal hound with him and becomes a good hunting partner of Artemis, the **** of hunting, and his mother, Leto, the goddess of conservation.

Soon, Olympus set off a rebellion against Zeus, in which Poseidon, Apollo, Athena, and Hera all participated.

 These clues left on the pages of the book undoubtedly prove this point.

However, due to the emergence of the variable Lorne, Poseidon tried to seize the island of Crete, and the first step of taking Athena failed. Even the son of God Orion, who was related to the follow-up plan, was almost lost in it.

Seeing that the plan went bankrupt, he was unable to open a situation with the thorny goddess of wisdom for a while.

Poseidon could only do the next best thing and prepare to attack Artemis first.

 So, Orion's target this time was not him at all, he came ashore precisely to seduce the Huntress!

In order to make his son of God succeed in one fell swoop, Poseidon apparently instilled the power of the **** of love obtained in exchange for interests into Orion's body.

Since there is no golden retriever's help and we can't take the subtle route, we can only do it first.

The flood of thoughts rushed and intertwined, allowing Lorne to peek through the fog in just a few seconds and see the truth and planning under the deep sea.

 “Artemis, wake up!”

Lorne shouted loudly, trying to wake up Artemis's mind, which was bewitched by the power of the God of Love.

 However, what was exchanged was an even sicker smile from the huntress.

"I'm very sober. As long as what I hunt is mine, it doesn't matter whether you agree or not."

 Speaking, Artemis opened the golden war bow, and new golden light arrows condensed on the bowstring inch by inch.

“Yes, beautiful goddess, once you get rid of this obstacle, nothing can stop us from being together.”

Orion on the other side activated the power of the **** of love in his body and increased his power to encourage, his eyes filled with an angry smile.

How come you can take the lead every time! These should all belong to me!

go to hell! I want to see you die by the arrows of the one you love!

Seeing the light arrow on the bow string gradually taking shape, a cold chill ran from Lorne's tailbone to the core of his head.

This crazy woman!

Loughn sweat broke out on his forehead. He cursed secretly and racked his brains, frantically searching for his own chance of survival.

 With Artemis, this crazy humanoid turret, running is useless.

 Just capture the thief and capture the king?

But this thought only lasted for half a second, and he killed the tempting thought.

The distance was too far, and with Artemis standing in the middle, I was afraid that before I could stab Orion on the other side to death, I would be shot into pieces by the mad woman behind me.

 Damn the power of Eros!

Lorne subconsciously cursed in his heart, but then a thunder exploded in his head and his chaotic thoughts exploded.

 Wait, love is the power of God?

 He seems to have it too!

 In an instant, the faded memory becomes vivid.

At the critical moment, Lorne couldn't help but think of the junk he drew from the twelve-sided dice during the escape on the Oceanus Sea.

“[Aphrodite's Grace]: The goddess of love and beauty will activate your cupid bloodline and grant you attraction to the opposite sex, which will last for one week.”

In an instant, the divine blessing that he once thought was tasteless and was a pity to throw away, and thus was thrown into a corner, now seemed like a sparkling treasure.

 —Thanks to my great-grandmother!

Suddenly, a certain unworthy descendant who was still cursing at the God of Love immediately praised his nominal great-grandmother, and without hesitation used the accidental divinity of the twelve-sided die to activate the blessing from the God of Love. .

 As the boiling divine blood accelerates, a hint of charming pink appears in the pair of crystal eyes.

Happy to the soul, Lorne flexed his facial muscles, a bright and gentle smile appeared on his face, and he looked at the mighty Huntress with burning eyes.

"Artemis, I am willing! I am willing to be your divine attendant! I will always be by your side!"

 He agreed? Just agreed?

The eyes met, and the promise sounded like love words. Artemis, who was holding a breath in her heart, couldn't help but be stunned, and a trace of confusion and wavering appeared on her face.

 But, that's all.

 Obviously, compared to the blessing of the God of Love that Lorne received after completing the trial, it was obviously traded by Aphrodite to Poseidon, which can affect the power of the God of Love and is more domineering.

However, this is enough!

Lorne saw the expression of the Huntress loosened, and immediately spared no effort to activate the divinity derived from the blood of the God of Cupid and the ecstasy derived from the God of Dionysus in his body, and gave out a sound like thunder.

 “Wake up! You are bewitched!”

In an instant, Artemis, who was almost deaf, woke up from a dream, and her chaotic eyes instantly became clear.

At this moment, Orion, who realized something was wrong, changed his face drastically and hurriedly urged.

"Beautiful goddess, don't listen to his nonsense, kill him, and we can..."

 “Poof!”

However, a golden arrow shot through the sky, with a dull tearing sound, piercing his shoulder, dragging him along, and finally nailed him firmly to a thick tree trunk.

 “Ahhhh, my shoulder!”

Caught off guard, Orion screamed in agony and blood spurted out from the wound.

 And those painful screams poured into Artemis's mind like a magic spell, constantly tempting her to look back and show mercy.

 “Ding dong~!”

With the sound of metal chiming, Artemis dropped the golden long bow, knelt on the ground, covered her head with both hands, and gritted her teeth toward the front and growled.

 “Kill him! Quick!”

And the moment the Huntress opened her mouth, Lorne's figure had already passed her side, rushing straight to the opposite river bank like an arrow from a string, and tightly squeezing Orion's thick neck with his empty right hand. , forcing the nagging screams into his throat.

As the force at his throat continued to increase, Orion, who was nailed to the tree, struggled wildly, and let out a low roar of terror while gasping for breath.

 “You…you…can't…kill me, Father God…”

 “Click!”

However, before Orion could finish speaking, the iron-clamp-like arm suddenly erupted with the scarlet blood of the God of War, breaking through the last thin layer of ocean protection on the son of the sea god, and directly broke his thick body. neck bone.

One eyeball protruded, and the thick head, full of resentment and fear, drooped feebly.

The next moment, the scarlet blood in Lorn's palm turned into a blazing red flame, igniting Orion entirely.

In the blink of an eye, the twisted and cracked corpses in the firelight, together with the charred tree trunks, turned into fluffy ashes and scattered in the wind.

After completing the work of destroying the corpse and eliminating traces with skillful techniques, Lorne's tense heartstrings finally relaxed. The hidden wounds that had been forcibly suppressed when facing Artemis exploded, causing severe pain in the bones, organs and muscles. Coming like a tidal wave.

Now, there should be no way for Orion to be resurrected, right?

Looking at the handful of ashes in front of him, Lorne, who was also on the verge of reaching his limit, after repeated confirmations, slumped to the ground with relief.

If Poseidon could still bring his precious son back from Hades with this little bit of scum, he should not be called Poseidon, but should be called Hades instead.

With the last trace of doubt dispelled, Lorne was about to completely let down his guard and lie down to rest.

However, a stream of hot air poured into his ear canal, and wisps of musk and the fragrance of flowers and plants filled the air behind him.

In an instant, Lorne's neck twisted stiffly like a rusty clockwork.

His purple eyes instantly met a pair of silver eyes dancing with hot flames.

 Primitive animality and some almost substantial desire are burning in it.

In an instant, Lorne, whose scalp was numb, realized a problem that he had ignored.

 As one of the sources of pollution, Orion is dead, but he is still alive.

In addition, if I remember correctly, [Aphrodite's Grace] seems to last for...a week?

 “Gulu…”

Lorne wriggled his throat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and tried his best to moisten his dry throat. Looking at the top forest predator who was rolling his pink tongue and licking his cherry lips just a few feet away, he squeezed out a trace of distortion from his stiff face. smile.

 “Are you hungry? How about eating first...”

"boom!"

In an instant, before Lorne could finish speaking, a pair of slender but powerful arms grabbed his legs that were quietly moving backwards, and knocked him down easily.

Lorne, who was thrown to pieces, had not recovered yet, but his body was quickly dragged towards the woods ahead. His head kept hitting the rocks along the way, making his mind go blank.

The feeling was like a little white rabbit being savagely dragged out of the hole by a female leopard and being brutally ravaged by its paws.

 “Don't tear my clothes off!”

 “Don't mess around, I'm innocent…”

 “It hurts, it hurts! My wound is split!”

 “Woo…Woo!!”

Soon, under the absolute suppression of the female leopard, the rabbit's helpless screams were completely drowned in the overlapping shadows in the forest.

The greedy beasts gallop in their own hunting grounds and enjoy the prey that belongs to them under their claws!
