Chapter 14 Ares, I'm here to bully you!
Lorne touched the hair on his head that programmers envied and muttered to himself.
According to the loopholes deliberately left before, it is not impossible for me to pay some negative concepts such as "bad luck", "depression", "pain", "curse", etc., but the more this kind of bargaining chip cannot be quantified and qualitative, the more It's easy to be manipulated in the opposite direction and end up shooting yourself in the foot.
So to be on the safe side, he is still more willing to make some small physical sacrifices.
Compared to losing a few hairs, getting promoted to a demigod quickly is a huge gain.
After thinking about it for a while, Lorne stretched out, moved the chess pieces comfortably, and started rounds of trial and error and fighting on the chessboard.
To be honest, it is really difficult to deal with Hecate's subterfuge tactics and extreme pressure.
But for this game, she is just a novice after all, and her offensive routines and methods can only be found in a few combinations.
And Lorne has thousands of years of chess game experience and routines accumulated by mankind in his mind. Once he can figure out Hecate's path and stabilize his position, he can formulate corresponding strategies and launch a counterattack.
Finally, after paying the price of about thirty hairs, Lorne used a set of "soldiers to rebel" and "soldiers to kill the king" to push Hecate to the point of despair.
“General!”
As the Warcraft head chess piece representing the chariot in Lorne's hand advanced, in conjunction with the upgraded soldiers, the enemy King's chess's last retreat was blocked. Hecate, who was no longer able to recover, could only push down the chess piece angrily. Hold your nose and recognize the outcome of this game.
“So, as agreed, now is the time to tell me how to be promoted to a demigod as quickly as possible, my lady goddess?”
“It's very simple, drop your blood on that dice, then silently say what you are thinking, roll the corresponding number, and it will guide you.”
Although she is a dog gambler, as an upright goddess, Hecate still has the basic integrity of being willing to admit defeat, and she simply stated the method.
Use it?
Lorne followed Hecate's gaze and looked at the serpentine twelve-sided dice in front of him, his eyes flickering slightly.
This thing is an extra prize for winning the resurrection match. It originally belonged to Hecate and was originally a pair.
"The twelve sides of the dice are not only engraved with numbers, but the emblems that make up the numbers also correspond to the twelve main gods who control Greece, which is the current order of [the world]. Since you want to upgrade your bloodline to a demigod, you need to Look for opportunities in [the world], and it will give you the answer.”
Hecate played with another twelve-sided serpentine dice in her hand and explained with a smile.
“This is not an ordinary gift, but a [gift of fate].”
“Really? Why do I feel like [destiny] always seems to dislike me?”
Lorne looked at the twelve-sided dice on the table quietly, with doubtful eyes.
Hecate was noncommittal, smiled slightly, and stretched out her white right hand.
"According to the agreement, I have already said what needs to be said. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. If you don't need it, just pay it back to me."
Lorne hesitated for a moment, but quickly made up his mind.
It's already at the bottom anyway, no matter how you go, it will always be upward!
Are you afraid of a hammer? Why don't you have a strong hand?
Suddenly, as soon as I thought of it, the sky and the earth widened.
Lorne immediately raised his hand and bit his index finger. Under Hecate's smiling gaze, he squeezed out a drop of golden-red blood and dropped it on the twelve-sided dice. Then he closed his eyes and counted silently for a few seconds before decisively turning the dice. Throw it on the table.
The blood-stained dice rolled several times on the table, and finally settled on a pattern of eight crossed blood-colored spears.
“8? God of War? Well, congratulations on getting the blessing of Ares.”
Hecate glanced at the die, chuckled and snapped her fingers.
At the same time, the twelve-sided dice on the table buzzed and trembled, turned into a scarlet blood light, and crashed into Lorne's chest at lightning speed, blending into the trace that Hecate had engraved on his body. Within the dark curse seal, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
—This emblem is a circle with a circular labyrinth surrounding a spiral in the center.
—The labyrinth symbolizes rebirth, and the spiral in the center symbolizes the mind and soul.
—its name is Hecate's wheel.
At this time, in the ocean of Lorne's consciousness, something like the friction of gears and machines sounded, and the labyrinth formed by Hecate's wheel was rotated and reconstructed, turning into an ancient mottled bronze altar.
As the blood-stained twelve-sided die landed in the center of the altar, the rich blood smudged and weaved into a scarlet oracle.
—【Slaughter 100 gold-level sea beasts and complete the God's Sacrifice. 】
Lorne was a little confused, so he revealed the information in his mind and asked Hecate opposite with a frown. "What's the meaning?"
"If I guess correctly, you should have the blood of Ares, the **** of war."
Hecate flipped another twelve-sided die with one hand and asked with a smile.
Lorne thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Cadmus, the builder of Thebes, was forced to serve Ares, the **** of war, for eight years because he killed Ares's dragon.
Subsequently, with the coordination of the gods, the two parties reconciled, and Zeus married Harmonia, the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite (the goddess representing coordination and harmony) to Cadmus as his wife to compensate Cadmus. Deimos' eight years of hard labor.
According to the genealogy, his dead mother Semele was one of the four children of Cadmus and Harmonia.
In other words, in addition to Zeus, Lorne also has the blood of Ares, the **** of war, and Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.
At this time, a positive answer was received, and Hecate smiled and gave further interpretation.
“The answer is very simple. If an ordinary hybrid hero wants to become a demigod, he needs to refine himself day by day and awaken the divinity in his body step by step before he can ignite the divine fire and complete [upgrade].
But now [Dice] has given you the shortcut you want.
—As long as you complete the sacrifice to Ares as required, it will allow you to briefly steal the blessings of the divine power of war. When you have the same source of divine blood in your body, you can pass this carnival of killing and fighting, from Enough divinity is collected both internally and externally to ignite the divine fire within the body. "
ification!
Hearing Hecate's description, Lorne gasped.
This bet seems a bit big.
In a sense, this move is about bypassing Ares, the real **** of war, and riding the divine power of war under him for a period of time.
Although Ares is often the target of being swayed in various versions of myths, legends and epics, he really has little standing among the twelve main gods.
But that also depends on who is holding the rope!
Let me, a golden boy who is just sixteen years old, try to take over the divine power of a genuine Olympus god. This can no longer be called playing with fire, it is simply suicide!
“You're afraid that I won't die quickly enough, right?”
Lorne complained with a dark face, unhappily revealing the sinister intentions of the unscrupulous creditor in front of him.
“Don't worry, Olympus won't notice what you did.”
Hecate smiled nonchalantly, raised her hand to flip the dice on the table, and spoke meaningfully.
“Because [inevitable fate] cannot predict [accidental dice]…”
Lorne's eyes flashed, his face was thoughtful, and the heart hanging in his chest gradually dropped a bit.
As a qualified gambler, she should not do anything stupid like destroying her chips easily.
At least, I have to wait until I create enough value or corresponding fun before I can recycle it.
In this case…
Lorne closed his eyes and thought seriously for a moment, then suddenly opened his purple eyes, clenched his fists, and raised the corners of his lips in a crazy arc.
High risk, high reward, It's showtime!
—Ares, are you ready? I'm here to bully you!
Harmonia: The goddess of harmony and harmony in Greek mythology. Not only is she the daughter of Ares, the **** of war, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and the ancestor of the protagonist in blood, but she is also the mortal enemy of the goddess Eris.
So, won't this introduction be posted? It's about carrying on the family tradition.
In addition, thank you to the big guys for your recommendations, monthly votes and rewards. I love you.
