Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 129

Chapter 129 The bird's **** cannot be touched (6k)

 After the Sicily incident, all clues point to a certain goal.

Given the greek gods' narrow-minded tradition of seeking revenge, the group of people who were completely angered were not used to it.

Therefore, Apollo, the **** of light, Artemis, the goddess of hunting, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, the three most powerful gods of Olympus, brought with them a large number of subordinate gods to clean up the chaos and restore order to their respective city-states. On the pretext of opening a navigation channel, he drove his chariot on a safari throughout the outer sea.

With such a luxurious lineup and an expanded strike surface, the entire Oceanus Sea was in a state of panic.

The sea beasts and ocean-type god-blood dependents who inhabit the ocean islands and various sea areas are extremely unlucky.

 —Either their heads were shot and disemboweled, and they died miserably on the spot; or they were cramped and skinned, and turned into trophies; or their homes were demolished, and the whole family was relocated…

 After all, with this kind of deliberate trouble-seeking behavior, even a docile seal passing by can get slapped twice, not to mention most of the sea beasts and monsters that are violent and murderous in nature.

 After seven consecutive days of torment, not only the number of beasts in the outer sea dropped sharply, but almost all the ferocious gods and monsters in the outer sea were slaughtered.

Even, it seems that because of the excessive killing, even the tide pushing towards the shore turned slightly red.

 Because, His Majesty the God King heard an oracle from somewhere.

  However, honorific titles are only related to status and character, and do not represent strength.

Of course, it may also be because he is now the father-in-law of the sea **** Poseidon.

 He ​​is the product of the divine blending of the old sea **** Pontos (ocean) and the earth goddess Gaia (earth). Hesiod's "Theogony" states that "because he was trustworthy, amiable, righteous, fair and kind, people called him 'The Elder'."

 But in the end, Zeus, who sows the seeds to no avail, took the initiative to give up.

 With such two good sons, it would be difficult for her to become famous.

Probably because of this harmless and docile attribute, he has survived until now in the brutal theocratic struggle, and is doing well in the gradually stable Ocean of Oceanus.

 —That is, the mother of Achilles, the great hero in the Trojan War.

He seemed to be attracted by the honest and gentle temperament. A white seabird was landing on his shoulder, gently combing its tail feathers.

The three main gods pursued them all the way and struggled for several days, but they could only stare at a group of uncivilized sea beasts. They didn't even see the shadow of an Atlantean, let alone the Neptune in charge. .

The name Thetis occupies a large space in Greek mythology. She is one of the 50 daughters of Nereus, the old man of the sea. She is a sister to Amphitrite, the wife of Poseidon, the sea god, and a future Greek hero. The second wife of Peleus.

—Thetis was destined to give birth to a son who would surpass his father, no matter how great that father was.

 Lobbyist, here we come...

 Hence his honorific title of "Old Man of the Sea".

—In the deep seabed stands the magnificent palace of Poseidon, the great brother of Zeus and the shaker of the earth. Poseidon rules the sea. He holds a trident, and as long as his hand moves slightly, the waves must obey. Living with Poseidon in the depths of the sea was his wife Amphitrite. She was the daughter of Nereus, the old sea **** who could foretell bad luck. She was snatched away from her father by Poseidon, the great master of the sea. of…

 At the same time, in front of the fire.

 Finally, on the night of the ninth day.

 That's right, according to mythological records, Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, was the daughter of Nereus, the old man of the sea.

At the same time, Thetis also raised the newborn Hephaestus when he was thrown off Mount Olympus, so she was also the most respected adoptive mother of the fire **** Hephaestus.

In desperation, the sea beasts continued to swim back to the inland sea, or simply headed towards deeper primitive ocean areas.

With a suitable topic to talk about, the kind-faced elder could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. He sat down in front of the fire with Athena, smiled and nodded in response.

—Legend has it that the continent of Atlantis and its affiliated islands are hidden in the deep sea and among the stars. It is a holy ocean land that even God King Zeus may not be able to easily discover.

 So, this is a good old man who almost never conflicts with others easily and is kind to everyone.

Because of her stunning beauty and wisdom, she had many topics in common with Metis, another ocean goddess, the goddess of primitive wisdom, and they became friends.

Of course, she herself was also known for her wisdom and beauty, and was the wisest among the 50 daughters of Nereus.

In the flickering firelight, Lorne looked at the kind-faced old man from the sea, dressed in coarse linen clothes and holding a cane, standing solemnly in front of the three Olympian gods, with his eyelids slightly lowered and his eyes twinkling. Thoughts.

Even the old Poseidon Pontos, who is my father, was showered with gold coins, not to mention Nereus, his cheap son.

Hence, Thetis did not end up with the same fate as her close friend Metis and her sister, the Queen of the Sea.

When Mount Othrys came to power, he was overwhelmed by the couple Oceanus, the river god, and Thesis, the sea goddess, among the Twelve Titans;

When Olympus came to power, he was driven by the new sea **** Poseidon, and he lived in the shadow of the ocean overlord;

 As a creature of pure power, Zeus was most afraid of his son overthrowing his throne, so he naturally kept a distance from Thetis.

 —As long as one is willing to hide, almost no outsider can find the door to enter.

"Grandpa Nereus, why are you here?" Athena was the first to show a bright smile and took the initiative to hold Nereus's hand, appearing cordial and familiar. "I was preparing to visit you recently, and I wanted to see Theti by the way. Aunt Si, how is she doing?"

The group of sea monsters and monsters that had been domineering at sea for many years felt frightened for the first time when faced with the dimension-reducing attack of this Olympus evil group. They fled in groups to the inland sea, trying to seek revenge on the overlord who protected them. Ask for help.

Even in the Age of Heroes, Hercules was able to capture him with brute force and force him to use his prophecy to help him find the Golden Apple Orchard and complete one of his trials.

 “She's very good, and she's still thinking about you.”

However, hundreds of miles deep into the inland sea, not only the Atlantean patrols that usually patrolled in groups disappeared, but there were not even a few native divine blood family members left.

 Later, the divine power changed, and Metis was swallowed by Zeus.

 The Old Man of the Sea—Nereus.

The Lord always had no road, and watched the sea of ​​Russia, which was almost killed, and the three main gods could not help but blackly.

 Legend has it that the god-king on Mount Olympus also pursued her passionately.

Sicily welcomed a visitor from the sea, but it was not Poseidon, the **** of the sea, but an old man wearing a linen robe and looking kind-hearted.

 There are two more people on her friend list.

—Hera, the queen of heaven, and Athena, the new goddess of wisdom.

Coupled with her sister Amphitrite, who is the queen of the sea, this sea fairy has a wide network of contacts and is well versed in the wisdom of protecting herself.

Lorn looked at Athena chatting with Nereus under the firelight, and his thoughts surged when he heard the name repeatedly mentioned by the goddess of wisdom.

 —Even this sea fairy, who is also known for her wisdom, managed to avoid the old path of her sister and close friend through humiliation.

 But after so many efforts, she still couldn't escape the fate of being teased.

Not only was she forced to marry the demigod hero Peleus under the auspices of Zeus, but even her son, who was destined to surpass his father, could not escape the fate of death.

 In the "Iliad" record, Thetis once held Zeus's knees with her left hand and stroked his chin with her right hand, praying to the **** king to restore her son Achilles to glory.

 But the result is self-evident...

 So, if you want to live a good life these days, you have to be strong yourself.

Simplying for compromise can only make do for a while, but may not lead to a good outcome in the end.

Lorne looked at the old man from the sea who was submissive to a group of juniors under the firelight. He shook his head secretly and strengthened his determination to seize power.

At this moment, after chatting for a while, Nereus finally found an opportunity and cautiously opened his mouth to ask.

“How was your hunting? When are you planning to go back?”

 “Well, don't be in a hurry, it's a rare trip...”

Athena patted the back of Nereus' hand, with a faint smile on her face.

Hearing that the junior still refused to let go, Nereus couldn't help complaining.

"Athena, you have had enough fun after so many days. Those frightened sea beasts are blocking the door of my house every day, refusing to swim back, and they are still yelling all day long. What a shame for me. I couldn't sleep all night long…”

Immediately, the old man spoke decisively, his eyes pleading.

“Let's do this, whatever game and seafood you want, I'll give it to you directly!”

“Some things are interesting when you get them with your own hands.”

Athena smiled and shook her head, declining Nereus's kindness.

"I know, you still want to open up a navigation channel for your city-state, right? I can guarantee that these guys will not disturb the ships on the route, and they will stay in the inland sea from now on and never land ashore again. That's okay. Bar?"

"us…"

"You should just take pity on my old man and let me go back and have a good sleep."

Before Athena could finish speaking, Nereus held Athena's hand with a sad face, complaining and giving earnest advice.

“Furthermore, so many gods in the Oceanus Sea also need to eat and rest. While I can still persuade those guys, you have had enough fun and it's time to calm down..."

The meaning is very simple. The evil group of Olympus has caused a lot of trouble to the people of the Sea of ​​Oceanus during this period, and they have also vented their anger.

 In the past, for the sake of the God-King family, everyone could tolerate it.

 But as time goes by, this backlog of dissatisfaction has almost reached a critical point.

 Things always have to have an end.

 Everyone takes a step back, that's almost it.

 Otherwise, instead of not solving the problem, let the other gods who live on the sea share the same hatred and jointly exert pressure.

 At that point, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Hearing this earnest advice, Apollo and Artemis were thoughtful.

The Ocean God System is a huge group, and it is not just Poseidon.

Although he had some troubles with the sea **** Poseidon, it would be a bit of a fuss to risk offending the entire ocean **** system and destroying the Sea of ​​Oceanus without a handle.

Once they get into trouble with their father, God Zeus, I'm afraid they will inevitably be punished and scolded.

 What's more, Artemis, who already had a ulterior motive, didn't want to make the matter a big deal.

So, the two siblings showed signs of excitement in unison, and looked up at Athena beside them.

The goddess of wisdom who is good at observing words and emotions also used the donkey on the **** to sincerely hold the hand of Nereus, the old man in the sea. The faint smile on her face made people feel like spring breeze.

"Look at what you said, I am also a member of Oceanus's race. How could I embarrass you, an elder?" Seeing Athena finally relent, Nereus also breathed a sigh of relief, and then he took out the He obtained a nautical chart, and on the spot followed the wishes of Apollo and Artemis to determine a safe sea route for Delphi and Arcadia, and then swore directly to the River Styx to ensure that he It will restrain those scurrying sea beasts.

 Coupled with the promised rare seafood, both Apollo and Artemis were quite satisfied with the result.

 Judging from the above performance, this old man can be regarded as a completely kind person. It is no wonder that he was elected as the representative of the old **** of the sea, and was often responsible for mediating some disputes at sea.

Finally, when it was his turn to fulfill his promise to Athena, the goddess of wisdom in front of the fire first asked for a safe route to Crete, then changed the topic and pointed behind her.

 “I won't use the rest, so I'll give it to him.”

At this moment, Lorne, who was eating melon in secret, was slightly startled when he heard that the topic was brought to him.

“This is the clerk of Crete. He almost died twice because of the tide of beasts at sea. He should be compensated.”

Athena introduced with a smile, and looked at Lorne with soft and encouraging eyes.

 Sister Ya…

 Looking at the goddess of wisdom who was about to fulfill her promise so soon, Lorne's heart couldn't help but be overflowing with emotion.

 “That's true, I can prove it!”

At this time, Hestia also waved her fist, wanting to earn compensation for her slave god.

And Artemis was even more straightforward, waving her hand and announcing loudly.

“Yes, he helped me, and I will give him my share!”

  Sensing Athena's gaze on him, there was a bit of coldness in it for a moment. Lorne waved his hand in a hurry and immediately declined Artemis's kindness.

 “No, no, no, just one serving is enough!”

This hunting goddess is good at everything, but she seems to be infected with some kind of indescribable madness, and she always has the ability to make the development of events deviate from the planned trajectory.

In order to save his **** from being whipped to pieces by Athena afterwards, Lorne quickly stood up and ended this dangerous topic, and went forward to find Nereus to cash in his share of compensation.

Athena smiled and stepped back, leaving the opportunity to Lorne.

However, at the moment when the two people's bodies met, the graceful figure that was blocked silently moved her lower lips and teeth.

Lorne's feet paused slightly, then pretended to say hello to Hestia, and stepped forward again without leaving any trace.

“What kind of compensation do you want?” As a generous elder, Nereus took the initiative to ask.

Lorne smiled shyly but politely and said: "It's all within my own responsibility. There is nothing to make up for. I only need one thing from you."

 Seeing that the other party was so reasonable and that the matter was about to be solved perfectly, Nereus couldn't help but have a kind smile on his face and nodded happily.

 “Of course it's okay! Say it, kid.”

 After receiving the promise, Lorne breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at Nereus's shoulder casually.

 “Then let it be, this little guy looks very cute.”

In an instant, Nereus, who was originally careless, saw the target chosen on the opposite side, and his expression suddenly changed.

"no!"

At the same time, the old man took the white seabird on his shoulder into his arms, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing this situation, Athena, who had a friendly face at first, couldn't help but become furious.

 “Nereus, what do you mean?!”

At this moment, realizing that his reaction was a bit excessive, the old man in the sea hurriedly explained.

 “This, this alone won't work...can I change it to another one?”

 “You want to break the contract?!”

Hearing this, Athena's face became even more angry.

“Why can they do it but not me? That's too much! Nereus, my spear is not bad! Do you really think there is no one in Crete?!”

Hearing this angry curse, Apollo and Artemis, who were being treated favorably on the side, couldn't help but feel on pins and needles, and their eyes towards Nereus also changed slightly.

Are you trying to sow discord with such low-level differential treatment? It's a bit too straightforward.

"not me…"

Under the glare of the three Olympian gods, Nereus was speechless, unable to speak, with an old red face, embarrassed and helpless.

Just when the old man in the sea felt a little embarrassed, a voice that sounded like the sound of nature broke the tense atmosphere.

“Old man, since you don't want to part with this little guy, then forget it.”

With some regret on his face, Lorne pointed at the white seabird in Nereus's arms and lowered his request.

 “Just give me a feather as a souvenir…”

 This is, after all, a gift from the goddess, and it is unlikely that it would be completely contrary to the law and would amount to a disguised offense.

 At present, this kind of compromise choice is the limit of concession.

 All the main gods and subordinate gods nodded secretly, looking at Lorne with approval, and secretly sighing in their hearts.

 —This is a kind person.

However, even so, Nereus still refused to let go.

 “No…still not…”

At this time, the old man in the sea, who had repeatedly refused, could not help but arouse public anger.

 The steps have been set aside for you, but you are still clinging to them, refusing to come down. Do you really think we can't notice such a low-level act of sowing discord?

Just as the gods, who were gradually becoming dissatisfied, wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack, the white seabird took the initiative to peck open Nereus's arm, flapped its wings, and landed on Lorne's shoulder, then turned its head and used its slender The bird's beak plucked out a white tail feather and held it in Lorne's right palm.

 An invisible crisis was resolved accordingly.

 “So good!”

Looking at the seabird's humanistic display of intelligence, Lorne couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He raised his left hand and stroked the little guy's head all the way to its tail with his fingertips.

 “Chirp!”

 However, the little guy who was caressed suddenly became furious, screamed in surprise, and pecked Lorne's fingertips with his open mouth.

Immediately, the white seabird flapped its wings and hurriedly flew back to Nereus's shoulder.

 Hiss, this bird is not only afraid of life, but also quite ferocious...

Looking at the enlarging blood spots on his fingertips, Lorne bared his teeth and cursed secretly.

"Guys, you guys, you've got everything you need to get. If there's nothing else, you'd better go back early."

At the same time, Nereus hurriedly hid the frightened white seabird in his sleeve, then glared at someone with a sullen face, then dropped a firm warning, turned around and walked towards the deep sea, his figure quickly Disappear.

This old man has a really weird temper...

Lorne shook his head, then took a few steps back and quietly handed the white tail feather in his hand to Athena who was standing beside him.

 Actually, this thing is not the compensation that Lorne wants, but the instruction of Athena.

  —Pluck that bird for me!

Just when the two people's bodies met, Athena made such a request with a sullen face.

Lorne, who went to do it for him, naturally agreed to this compensation that was not his own in the first place.

 With his slight control, the bird feathers were easily obtained.

But as he handed over the mission items to Athena and prepared to exchange for his own reward, the goddess of wisdom under the shade of the tree waved her hand.

 “Keep it for yourself.”

 “Huh?” A big question mark popped up in Lorne's mind.

 Isn't that what you want?

　　Seemingly noticing the confusion on Lorne's face, Athena glanced sideways at the white tail feather and spoke with a smile.

"Don't you lack an artifact? Give this to Hephaestus and he will build it for you."

 Can I exchange it with this?

 When did Hephaestus's artifact become so cheap…

Suddenly, the murmurings in Lorne's mind stopped. Looking at the white tail feather in his palm, he turned his neck stiffly and looked at Athena under the shade of the tree with horror. His throat squirmed and he swallowed hard. .

 “You mean, too…”

Athena yawned immediately, cut off Lorne's question, and then walked to her chariot.

 “What are you talking about? I don't know anything.”

I heard the words that had nothing to do with me, and the goddess of wisdom who raised the corner of her mouth as she ran away. Lorne's heart dropped completely.

Then, it fell to the ground and broke into eight pieces...

—According to the records of theogony, the family of the old sea **** Nereus was proficient in the art of change, and among his fifty daughters, one was the most proficient in this art.

 —The answer is already ready to come out.

And Lorne looked at the crimson blood spots that were pecked out on his fingertips, recalling the silk-like touch on the white seabird, and squirmed his throat again, swallowing a deep sip of saliva, and then in his mind. Two huge characters appeared.

 —Done!

 At the same time, white foam surged on the sea.

A nymph standing in the waves, with both the temperament of a girl and the manners of a lady, looked at the skirt of her skirt that had been torn open behind her, and then turned to look at the white Sicily shrouded in sea fog. The shell's teeth couldn't help but crunch.
