Chapter 130: Fire protection, theft protection, best friend protection
On the blue sea, Nereus looked at the disheveled daughter in front of him and walked closer.
“Thetis, you have been wronged.” The old man in the sea was full of heartache and regret, “It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you come with me…”
"Father, what are you talking about?" The fair-haired nymph, whose face was as calm and gentle as the ocean, showed a hint of anger in her blue pupils, "Do you want me to watch you go on adventures alone? ?”
Hearing his daughter's serious concern, Nereus couldn't help but smile and waved his hand nonchalantly.
“I'm just passing on a message and advising the children not to mess around. What's the risk?”
However, looking at her cheerful father in front of her, Thetis shook her head and reminded her meaningfully.
“Father, if it's so simple, why doesn't His Majesty the Poseidon come in person?”
"This is your sister's request. What does it have to do with Poseidon..."
“So I say, Amphitrite is getting more and more outrageous!”
Facing her father, who was still immersed in the illusion of family harmony, Thetis couldn't help but emphasize her tone: "It would be fine if you just guarded the house, but you also made a promise for him. If you break the oath, you will be punished." You're in big trouble!”
But even if you are angry, you won't tease her like this, right?
"We were at fault in the first place. We really shouldn't have gotten involved in the affairs of Crete and Atlantis and stood up for Poseidon. We can't blame her for being angry."
“That girl Athena is just like her mother, she really doesn't want to suffer at all…”
Seeing that her father's face was a little angry, Thetis opened her mouth to explain softly.
Nereus was silent for a moment and sighed helplessly.
—Little rascal!
At this moment, he already understood that the great-niece who had smiled at him as soon as they met had guessed his intention from the beginning and was holding back his bad feelings about it.
“Strange, how did that little **** find you here?”
The so -called people are old -fashioned. Naturally, Nurouus will naturally not believe that her daughter is almost running away, just a simple coincidence.
“They are your sister and brother-in-law after all, and the Sea of Oceanus is also our home.”
This gentle sage among the ocean nymphs first secretly cursed the close friend who had fallen out with him, and then looked back at the torn hem of her skirt and the reddish acupressure marks on the skin below, and couldn't help but added another sentence.
Immediately, she looked up through the vast sea fog and looked at the misty island in front of her. She said with a solemn expression: "As far as I know, the God King family has never been in the habit of abiding by contracts..."
Thetis shook her head, looked at the misty island with a calm gaze, and sighed helplessly.
"not him…"
Nereus waved his hand, interrupting his daughter's rational analysis. It was obvious that he was unwilling to continue discussing this topic. Then he looked at his daughter's damaged skirt, pointed the finger at a disrespectful person, and spat out Doubts in my heart.
When Nereus heard this, his face was startled, and then darkened.
Seeing that her good old father was still covering up the family, Thetis couldn't help but show a hint of anger on her face.
"Poseidon, the person involved in Olympus' own family affairs and conflicts, has gone into hiding, but instead asked you, an outsider, to mediate and guarantee through Amphitrite's report. Don't you think this is too much?"
"That is a future matter."
Obviously, someone discovered something about the seabird on his shoulder.
—Both!
But in the end, Thetis shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her bright eyes.
Forget it, just avoid her during this period...
Different from Metis and Athena, a pair of sharp-edged close friends, mother and daughter, although Thetis also has the name of "wisdom", she has a different personality.
—She inherited the good temper of her father Nereus, like the sea when it is gentle, deep and calm, and tolerant of all things.
So, when faced with difficult-to-solve problems, she is accustomed to seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster, rather than facing it head-on.
On the sea, the morning sun slowly rises and the mist gradually dissipates.
It's another brand new day, the sun is shining brightly, the clouds have cleared and the fog has dispersed.
“Father, since everything is fine, let's go back.”
While speaking, Thetis transformed into a white seabird, landed on her father's shoulder again, and then whispered closely.
“However, we should seal off Naxos Island during this period and try not to go out…”
Hearing his daughter's whispered warning, Nereus, who was happy that the Ocean God System had solved a big trouble, couldn't help but look surprised.
"Why?"
“Because, I always feel that things are not so easy to solve...”
The white seabird raised its head slightly as it murmured, and its bright eyes looked through the clear sky thousands of miles away at the large thunderclouds that were gathering in the distance.
At the same time, in the city of Knossos, in the residence of the Kitchen God, the returning Hestia couldn't help but ask the same question.
“Is the matter resolved?”
"What if? Continue to waste it, and then wait for the old gods of the Oceanus Sea to go to Olympus?"
Athena turned the wine glass in her palm and lay weakly on the table, looking at the two empty seats next to her, her expression became even more gloomy. Following Nereus's words, both sides agreed to call a truce.
Apollo and Artemis had no reason to stay anymore. They parted ways with them as early as Sicily and returned to their respective temples and territories.
However, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional.
Before leaving, Artemis left her crazy hunting Nymphora on the island of Crete, leaving it in the care of Lorne, and said that she would come to visit from time to time.
The reason is sufficient and fair.
But the more this happened, the more the goddess of wisdom with her keen nature could smell something unusual.
—There is definitely something going on between him and Artemis!
It's a pity that during the next period of time, some people may not be in the mood to hook up with the Huntress.
Athena raised her head and looked at Lorne with a smile, who was staring at a white tail feather in a daze.
After returning from Sicily, some people began to feel restless.
As if feeling something from his heart, Lorne noticed the eyes falling on him and came back to his senses. He looked at the smiling Athena opposite and couldn't help but grind his teeth.
Although he accidentally touched Thetis's body, he was completely unaware of it. If Thetis wanted to retaliate, he would definitely push Athena out to block the knife as soon as possible.
He tricked him into plucking Thetis' bird feathers, but later refused to admit his instigation.
—This woman definitely did it on purpose.
Even if he and Thetis were punished together, they are the most poisonous women!
Just as Lorne continued to curse in his heart, Athena raised her chin and asked with a smile.
“Lorne, what do you think about the truce?”
“As long as the core contradiction is not resolved, the armistice agreement will be a piece of waste paper!”
Lorne's reply was in a low voice, and the smile on his face was gone.
Hmm, okay, just a little angry.
After coming to the conclusion through a simple test, Athena was completely relieved, and the smile on her face couldn't help but become a little brighter.
“You are saying that Poseidon is going to break the contract?”
Hestia, who originally thought the dust had settled, was a little surprised when she heard this.
“Isn't he so frightened that he hid?”
A certain external brain rolled its eyes at its symbiote, which was functioning normally, and made a meaningful metaphor with its fist.
“Sometimes the punch may not be pulled back because of fear, but may be to accumulate strength and prepare for a more powerful blow.”
Athena put down her wine glass and raised her eyes to look across.
“So, you think Poseidon won't let it go?”
Lorne habitually used his skills in non-stick pans and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he uttered a word quietly.
"Sunk costs…"
Athena chewed the meaning carefully, and her eyes gradually became serious after a moment.
That's right, after putting in so much effort and still getting nothing, it's a fantasy no matter how you think about it, for the arrogant Poseidon to just give up and give up?
But it is one thing to understand the development trend of the situation, and it is another thing to take the initiative into one's own hands.
“He refuses to come out and cannot find the entrance to Atlanti. What can we do?”
Athena, who was troubled by this, had a headache.
You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against a thief in a thousand days.
She could not stay in Crete forever, guarding this three-acre land day and night.
“Of course we have to shake hands and make peace.”
Lorne smiled, a sincere look on his face.
“You have been away from Olympus for so long, it's time for you to go back and have a good rest.”
Seeing the meaningful color in those eyes, Athena woke up from a dream, couldn't help but smile happily, and stretched her waist lazily.
“Yes, I really should take a good rest.”
The two people at the table looked at each other and smiled, raised their glasses together and drank it down happily.
The three Gorgon sisters and the Kitchen God Hestia in the room looked confused.
The next day, the golden chariot pulled by the Pegasus Pegasus drove out of the city of Knossos and headed straight for Olympus, the holy mountain among the stars.
At the same time, the figure holding the trident in Poseidon Temple trembled slightly, and his dark blue eyes slowly opened, filled with gloom and gloom.
