Chapter 132 Teammates? Where are my teammates? (5k)
City of Knossos, in the home of the Kitchen God.
The three Gorgon sisters, Hestia and Lorne all looked at the golden retriever squatting on the floor in the living room with wide eyes and cute expressions, and fell into an eerie silence.
“Woof?”
The dog seemed to have been stared at for a long time and felt a little uncomfortable. He whimpered, stuck out his tongue and rushed towards the owner, trying to get close to him as usual. Those sharp claws cut claw marks on the hard rock ground like a knife cutting through tofu.
"stop!"
When Lorne saw this, his expression changed slightly, he ordered him to stop, and subconsciously took a step back.
Hearing the master's order, the golden retriever stopped abruptly and could only squat on the ground depressedly, letting out a low whine of grievance.
But soon, it turned its attention to two old acquaintances with whom it bared its teeth every day, and then changed its target and rushed towards Stheno and Euryale beside it.
“Ahhhh! Don't come over!”
I think back at the beginning, if I wanted to gain some divinity from the twelve main gods and those divine blood dependents, I would risk being killed.
It turned out to be a good thing. A group of people here worked hard for several months, and finally got the advantage of the silly dog.
Lorne thought about it and couldn't help but shuddered, and suddenly felt a little shuddering.
As soon as he sat down, Lorne couldn't wait to ask: "How are things going?"
However, after such a toss, the robe Lorne was wearing had become tattered, making him look as if he had just suffered an abuse.
came back?
Seeing the person coming clearly, Lorne quickly invited Athena into the house.
In order to prevent Poseidon from jumping over the wall, Athena immediately went to Olympus after the Battle of the Temple to complain to Zeus.
“Get back! Sit down!”
"boom!"
“Woof woof!”
Even though he had washed the dog inside and out more than ten times since that night, the scene of swallowing Poseidon's "beef balls" alive was still vivid in his mind.
"Proposing marriage? Are you kidding me? If I don't come early, I won't come later. Why do I have to wait until you leave to come to the door?"
“That's right, you didn't see the way that sea toad looked at little Medusa. It was clearly motivated by **** and had bad intentions!”
“Shut up!”
In the two generations of god-kings before and after, the heavenly father Uranus was castrated by his younger son Cronus and lost his reproductive rights, so he abdicated;
The Titan **** Cronus was eventually overthrown by the six siblings of Zeus because he swallowed his six children and hindered the operation of the law of life;
In order to consolidate the throne, Zeus resisted the curse of the Titan bloodline by showing mercy at all times and constantly giving birth to children, and gained the most powerful father's right in the history of Greece.
Originally, Poseidon, who was inferior to Zeus in all aspects, had little hope of competing for the supreme authority of Olympus.
Beasts!
Now, he accidentally lost half of his father's rights and became an orphan warrior by accident. Poseidon's path to the **** king is equivalent to a complete ruin.
Finally, under the strict command of the owner, the golden retriever could only end the intimacy, get off the owner obediently, and squat down back to the original place in depression.
“Poseidon said that he came to the island to propose marriage to me with the sincerity of reconciliation between the two parties..."
The three Gorgon sisters and Hestia on the side wisely chose their respective areas of expertise. Those who should move tables moved the tables, and those who should serve refreshments served them.
—Half of Poseidon's paternity...
Several people in the family are anxiously waiting for the results.
Therefore, when he saw the dog open its mouth, he seemed to be able to smell the fishy smell from the ocean, and he felt sick in his heart.
There was an overwhelming sound of bone cracking in Lorne's chest.
It's just an accusation. I don't know whether it's scolding dogs for being too human, or scolding people for being too dog-like.
Lorne covered the dog's mouth firmly, with a posture that he would rather die than surrender.
Primitive myths often contain strong worship of fertility and life, which are very important functions and powers of gods, especially in the Greek gods.
In an instant, the two fearless Gorgon banshees were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They screamed and closed their eyes. At the same time, they held Lorne's arms on the left and right, using him as a human shield and holding him tightly against them. forward.
Thinking of this, Lorne couldn't help but kick this silly dog.
—Poseidon took the initiative to tear up the truce agreement and secretly sneaked into Crete with the intention of **** her priests and divine envoys in her great temple!
To this day, it has been three days.
I really don't know what kind of revenge the crazy ocean overlord will take for this.
Looking down at the red marks on his skin, and then at the silly dog with divine power surging all over his body, Lorne couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Immediately, the dog let out a low purr of joy, stretched out his tongue and wanted to lick the owner's face, fulfilling his label of being an experienced dog licker.
Lorne rubbed his aching temples while glancing at an empty chair opposite.
But as soon as this topic was brought up, Athena's tense and pretty face turned livid.
Feeling the huge force that was about to break his two arms, and the dog's face that was gradually enlarging in front of his eyes, Lorne, who was unable to dodge, let out a sad and angry curse.
As for being kissed by this dog mouth...
And when Luo Endi looked out the door countless times, a dazzling golden stream of light finally fell directly in front of the door and turned into a familiar appearance.
Finally, the dog that got what it wanted happily ran into its owner's arms and threw him down excitedly.
When Stheno and Euryale heard this, they could not help but retort angrily with dark faces.
Hestia on the side could not help but support her eldest niece.
“Besides, haven't you rejected Poseidon a long time ago and sworn to remain chaste? How could he not know?”
However, Lorne turned a deaf ear to the indignation of the three people. Instead, he looked at Athena opposite him seriously and asked quietly.
“What did His Majesty the God-King say?”
“Father God reproached me for hurting my uncle. Even if I disagree, I cannot treat an elder like this...”
Athena said, two **** of anger seemed to be dancing in her bright eyes.
“Then what?” Lorne continued to ask.
“Of course he's going to find his next lover.” Athena sneered.
Obviously, this is both an expected result and a consistent pattern of God the Father.
After hearing Athena's answer, Lorne sighed, propped up his arms on the table, rubbed his sore temples, and murmured.
“Trouble…”
Athena pursed her lips, her face also darkened.
Looking at the gloomy two people in front of her, Hestia on the side was quite puzzled.
“Hey, wait a minute, didn't we all win? We also beat up that guy Poseidon? Why do you look like you've lost?”
The external brain at the table raised its eyes, glanced at its symbiote that was functioning normally, and asked quietly.
“Then what? Using the excuse of being humiliated, Poseidon gathered the power of the sea gods and Atlantis to directly destroy Crete?”
“Does Zeus not care?”
“Hasn't His Majesty the God King already taken care of it? It was we who made the mistake before, disrespected our elders, and destroyed his foundation, so shouldn't we deserve to be retaliated for this?”
“Isn't it right?” Hestia retorted subconsciously, the confusion and anger in her eyes getting deeper. "Shouldn't we reprimand Poseidon? I clearly saw that it was that guy who wanted to do something wrong first!"
Facing Hestia's doubts, Lorne opened his mouth unhurriedly.
"What you think doesn't matter. What matters is what His Majesty the God-King thinks."
"Even if this is the case, we should distinguish right from wrong, right? I can see it, this is obviously Poseidon's fault!"
“Children only know right from wrong, adults care more about pros and cons!”
The faint murmur completely killed the topic. Hestia wanted to defend herself and defend her simple view of justice and right and wrong that had existed for thousands of years.
However, she opened her lips and teeth for a long time, and in the end she could not utter a word of rebuttal. She just looked at her follower and asked a question from the bottom of her heart.
“Can black really become white?”
"able!"
Lorne nodded lightly and answered decisively.
In his original world, deer could turn into horses, rats could turn into ducks, and black could of course turn into white...
As long as those in power can silence all opposing voices.
Finally, after receiving this answer, the hope in Hestia's eyes was completely shattered, and she just lowered her head and murmured in despair.
“But, this is wrong…”
“So, we are trying to build a world where there is a sense of right and wrong and right and wrong.”
Hestia's heart trembled, and she looked at the face that was filled with smiles and warmth, and the large amount of darkness covering her eyes was gradually cleared away.
That's right! Even if the power in hand can reverse right and wrong for a moment, it cannot completely distort truth and justice.
—Justice will not be tamed or killed, because truth will always exist!
Hestia couldn't help but think of her aunt, Themis, the goddess of justice, who parted ways with Olympus after the first goddess Metis was swallowed by Zeus. At this time, Athena opposite him also glanced at Lorne, and the gloomy color on her face was gradually replaced by a touch of approval.
—She really liked this boy more and more.
Because what he said was exactly what he had been trying to do.
—Tsk, I shouldn't give in...
Athena glanced at Hestia, who was poaching her, and her mood, which had just improved, couldn't help but become a little more depressed.
After briefly appeasing his family's chief god, Lorne looked at the extra vacancies on both sides and asked again.
"By the way, why don't you see Apollo and Artemis coming back together? Where are they?"
As soon as these words came out, Athena's face turned black.
“Leto, the goddess of conservation, is unwell physically and mentally. They are going to visit their mother on the island of Kos.”
"Who said that?"
“Apollo! On the second day after arriving in Olympus, he took Artemis away with a letter from the goddess of protection.”
Hearing this, Lorne said nothing and his face became ugly.
Can a near-immortal **** get sick easily? Still feeling unwell? What about the liar?
In addition, this disease will come sooner rather than later, but why does it happen at this time? What a coincidence, right?
Probably because he saw that the wind was going in the wrong direction, Apollo deceived Artemis in the name of his mother Leto!
This 25-year-old boy can only play with the wind, but he will be unreliable when he encounters trouble!
Lorne couldn't help but scolded his brother-in-law for running away before the battle, and looked at the dark-faced Athena with depressed eyes.
Now, he finally understood why the goddess of wisdom was so angry when she came back.
It turned out that he was stabbed in the back by Apollo.
"I can help!" Hestia raised her hand high, choosing to stand firmly on Athena's side, her eyes shining brightly.
If she could build a world where black and white are clear between right and wrong, and an era where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, she would be willing to give it a try.
—Even if we break up with the brothers and sisters we once had.
"Aunt, I understand your good intentions. If you can win, it is indeed worth taking the risk. But now we are facing the entire ocean **** system, and even if you are included, it will not be enough." Athena shook her head and declined. Hestia's side.
"Are there any other candidates?" Lorne pinched his sore eyebrows, then his eyes lit up, and he took out the white bird tail feathers, "For example, Hephaestus?"
“Recently, the rebels of Othrys are ready to move again. Father God ordered Hephaestus to go to Mount Etna and work with the three Cyclops to build batches of artifacts for combat in case of any eventuality.”
"when?"
“Two days ago.”
Lorne fell silent again and did not continue to ask.
Obviously, this is probably the handiwork of the Olympian god-king.
But even if this road was blocked, Lorne still refused to give up and continued to ask.
“And what about the two people on the sea? Oceanus, the river god, and Thesis, the sea goddess? Your maternal grandparents loved your mother the most.”
“Also, you can go to Themis, the goddess of justice, who represents justice and justice, to mediate. Doesn't she always uphold justice?”
Athena raised her eyes and looked towards the opposite side.
"Why do you think the Twelve Titans, who are on the losing side, can live a stable life and continue to enjoy sacrifices? Instead of being liquidated one by one?"
"Don't think about it. They all swore an oath to the River Styx. They will not easily interfere in the struggle in Olympus without the permission of Father God."
“The one who doesn't want to swear?”
“Yes, they are basically locked up in Tartarus Hell…”
"grass!"
Suffering setbacks one after another, Lorne couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
I have to admit that the old Bidden defender in Olympus is indeed very skilled, and he has almost blocked all the unstable factors that threaten his royal power.
And this is what is so scary about Zeus.
He seemed to have said nothing, but he also seemed to have said everything.
He seems to have done nothing, but he also seems to have done everything.
With some micro-management, not only did the small group that Athena had just put together disintegrate, but it also sent a signal to Poseidon that he could take action.
Even, he had planned out in advance the way for Crete to seek help and win over allies, and blocked these retreats one by one.
Therefore, even if Athena, who is famous for her wisdom, takes action in person, she can only get a hit in the face of the methods of the Olympian God King.
No, compared to Poseidon, this rank is too high.
Furthermore, there are only a few cards that can be played in the entire island of Crete. How can it be possible to defeat the Olympian God King who controls the entire world?
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Lorne had no choice but to lie on the table in despair, enjoying himself in misery.
“So, the good news is that your Father is paying more and more attention to you?”
Hearing the slightly teasing tone, Athena snorted angrily.
“There is no way, who is most likely to make the Titan's curse come true in the blood of the descendants? Compared with their peers, the descendants should be the first target to be wary of.”
Immediately, she paused and couldn't help but glare at the opposite person.
"Furthermore, thanks to a certain person, His Majesty the Poseidon has lost half of his paternal power, and his future power seizure is basically hopeless. Since there is no threat to his throne, Father God is of course willing to let my uncle vent his anger."
“Can we make peace then?”
“What do you say?”
Faced with Athena's faint gaze, Lorne immediately straightened his face and kicked the dog lying under the table.
"It's all your fault! You ruined the goddess's plan!"
Seeing the shameless behavior of passing the blame on the dog, everyone looked at him with disdain.
“Then what should we do next? The news that Crete is isolated and helpless will probably reach Poseidon's ears soon!”
Medusa stepped forward and asked seriously.
“Reduce coastal defense!”
“Celebrate all the people!”
Athena and Lorne responded in unison, and then looked at each other, each seeing the admiration in the other's eyes.
“Okay, we can play again!”
“I want to ride on the biggest float this time! Let these stupid mortals surrender to the beauty of this goddess!”
Eurielle and Stheno were filled with the word "celebration" and couldn't help cheering with smiles on their faces.
“Aren't you talking about countermeasures?”
Hestia's performance is still simple and simple.
After a short period of thinking, Medusa also raised her head and spoke thoughtfully.
“Suspicious soldier?”
Seeing Medusa's reaction, Athena and Lorne couldn't help showing a hint of relief and sadness.
A good bamboo shoot finally grew on the barren land at home.
Of course, this is not only the credit of Lorne and Athena, but also related to Medusa's own love of reading, continuous learning, and efforts to integrate into human society.
Seeing that Medusa had only made a rough guess and was still somewhat half-understood, Lorne took the initiative to explain.
"Poseidon has just experienced a great defeat, his divine power is unstable, and it was the result of an ambush. It is said that once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years, and after suffering so many losses, he should have a long memory. ”
“…So the more defenseless and relaxed Crete appeared, the more Poseidon suspected that there might be a trap waiting for him inside.”
Athena quickly added, telling Medusa how she and Lorne ended up in the same place by different routes.
And Medusa also listened very seriously. Ever since she was revered as the goddess of snakes by the people of Crete, she developed a desire to protect this land and made continuous efforts to do so.
"But a fake is still a fake. Even if you can deceive Poseidon for a while, you can't keep it secret forever, right? What if after a long time, he really discovers the reality of Crete and chooses to attack?"
“Lie down…”
“Seek blessings for yourself…”
At this time, Athena and Lorne at the table looked at each other, their eyes facing each other.
Once again, they gave similar answers.
Only this time, they were a little helpless.
