Chapter 157: Fooling the Devil Lamb
Following the footsteps of God Pan and walking about a hundred steps inward, the scenery suddenly opened up and a natural valley came into view.
There is gurgling water inside and there are green shades all over. Snow-white sheep are eating in the valley, strong horses are walking leisurely on the hillside, hundreds of fat bulls and cows are gathering at the clear stream to drink water...there are thousands of large and small livestock, Let this valley be full of vitality and everything be in order.
Once an animal leaves a specific activity area, dozens of hounds scattered at the mouth of the valley or high places to look out for the wind will rush over like the wind, barking and driving the stray animals back to their original place, trying their best to protect their owners. property entrusted to their care.
With their brave posture, they look like some of the best hunting dogs.
As God Pan appeared in front of the valley entrance, he tapped the faun's staff lightly on the stones at his feet. Dozens of hounds heard the sound and came, surrounding their master, sticking out their tongues and letting out a burst of joyful barking.
“Look, these are all good dogs that I have carefully trained!”
The half-human, half-goat Shepherd opened the magic array with pride. Under Lorne's strange eyes, he skillfully fed some fresh mutton to the dogs around him, and then pointed at the ones that were the most aggressive in grabbing food. He was proud of it. introduction.
“Her Highness Artemis will definitely like the best ones, and I am ready to dedicate them all to that lord!”
“Lady Artemis has accepted my gift, shouldn't she give me some reward?”
The group of beautiful nymphs under Artemis are what attracted Pan to visit.
I don't have the noble status and strong strength of His Majesty the God King. When the time comes, I won't be able to eat the meat, and I will be involved.
Artemis would not easily betroth his nymphs to him just because of a few hounds.
"It is said that an ocean nymph named Aura was encountered by someone from the Oceanus Sea when she was in Sicily. Then, the sea beasts in the outer sea were almost wiped out, and even that sea nymph The father of monsters has become a trophy.”
“However, you are injured tonight and are unable to travel a long distance, so you should stay in the temple and have a good rest.”
"do not trust me?"
Lorne glanced at Pan in front of him and asked meaningfully.
The faun with a gloomy face took the wine bottle, drank a few swigs, and muttered dissatisfiedly while craning his neck.
“Do you want to die?”
Lorne smiled and listened to the shepherd's attempt, then spoke slowly and in a low voice.
With that said, Lorne threw the dog leash back into Pan's hands, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, if it really offends her, the hunting goddess might get angry and shoot it like a rabbit.
Lorne gave serious advice, casually took off the wine bottle from his waist, and threw it to Pan behind him to express his goodwill.
"Listen to my advice, pretend nothing has happened, drink this pot of wine, and have a good dream."
However, after hearing this, God Pan's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stepped forward to block Lorne who was walking towards the entrance of the cave.
“Don't blame me for not reminding you, do you know why Lady Artemis originally had 20 hunting nymphs, but now there are only 19?”
Just touched a nymph, isn't that an exaggeration?
“Of course, I'm just saying it casually, it's up to you to believe it or not, it's not my business anyway.”
Pan Shen was so agitated by this that his face instantly changed and his expression became gloomy.
Finally, under Lorne's half-smiling gaze, Pan Shen tried his best to put on an expression that was uglier than crying, and boldly revealed the true purpose of his attentiveness.
But then, God Pan's mind reflected the graceful figures and beautiful faces of the group of nymphs under the firelight, and he suddenly felt reluctant to defend himself.
"Why?" Hearing the gloomy voice, Pan Shen subconsciously moved his dry throat and opened his mouth to ask,
"Then you can try and see if she would rather reward the nymphs under her command, or give you an arrow!"
Lorne rolled his eyes at this perverted sheep who had evil intentions from the beginning, and snorted angrily.
Feeling the huge force falling on his shoulders, Pan Shen, half of his body was a little sore and numb. His face froze, and he felt regretful in his heart.
"no!"
Sure enough, showing courtesy for nothing is either adultery or robbery.
"Ms. Artemis and the hunting nymphs around her all swore chastity. Even the God King Zeus was driven out because of his involvement with the chastity nymphs. But you want to exchange a few hounds for the nymphs under her command. A hunting nymph makes her take the initiative to break her oath..."
As a descendant of Hermes, it was naturally impossible for this slutty sheep to give away the hounds he had worked so hard to raise.
"what do you mean?!"
“Actually, I would like to take this opportunity to ask Lady Artemis to marry one of her nymphs as my wife.”
Looking at Pan in front of him, Lorne smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder, showing a warm smile.
Although he was lustful, he was not stupid, and he naturally understood the implication of the other person's words.
“Don't worry, it's just a few hounds. I can handle it.”
Lorne smiled and nodded, raised his hand and took a few selected hounds from Pan, giving friendly suggestions.
“So, are you more noble than His Majesty the God King? Or is your head harder than the arrowhead of the Hunting Goddess?”
Sure enough, this guy still resented his little actions on the road.
But when it was Pan's turn to make his own decision, the lecherous faun showed his timid side again, leading several hounds and not daring to step out of the cave.
Pan thought of the previous scene where Apollo, Artemis, and Athena hunted, as well as the recent rumors about the Sea of Oceanus and the imprisoned Lord of the Ocean, and he couldn't help but feel... There was a deep chill coming out.
"Okay, I will give these to Lady Artemis for you."
Hearing this, Pan Shen couldn't help but be stunned, with fear and hesitation in his eyes.
“Then didn't I give so much of my livestock away in vain?”
And he clenched the dog leash unwillingly in his hand, with no intention of handing over the dogs, as if he was unwilling to suffer another loss.
Lorne looked at this lecherous, stingy, treacherous and cowardly faun with disdain, and snorted angrily,
“If you really want to marry a beautiful goddess, there is nothing you can do.”
"any solution?!"
In an instant, Pan regained his energy and stared straight at the man in front of him.
Lorne rolled his eyes and reminded him angrily.
“Who told you to keep an eye on those immobile nymphs? Isn't there a goddess who can be married off?”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
“Muse?”
Pan thought about the unrestrained dancing and joyful singing of the Muses, his eyes lit up, and he instantly opened up new ideas.
"Yes, they are much more beautiful than those nymphs, and their figures are good enough! Wouldn't it be more profitable to marry one of them?!"
The lustful half-human and half-goat **** became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, his eyes flashed with excitement, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.
However, just as Pan was thinking about it, Lorne next to him once again poured a basin of cold water on his overheated sheep brain.
“Haha, even if the muse can marry, it seems like it's not your turn, right?”
"What do you mean? Look down on me?" Pan Shen's eyes were red, he was breathing heavily, and his face was full of indignation. "I'm just stating a fact." Lorne said lazily, "They are the gods of Apollo. Not only does the **** of light have a beautiful image, they have extraordinary attainments in music, poetry, and medicine. Which one of you?" Can you defeat him and make him willingly give up his life to you? "
Hearing this, Pan suddenly became silent.
As the recognized male **** of Olympus, Apollo's reputation is not in vain. It is almost a fantasy to want to win a beauty from the hands of the **** of light.
"unless…"
The twists and turns of his thoughts made Pan Shen, who had just been discouraged, once again have the fire of hope in his heart, and he couldn't wait to look at the person in front of him.
However, Lorne didn't say anything and just spread his hands behind him.
Suddenly, Pan Shen understood, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly handed back the dog leash in his hand.
But after taking the dog leash, Lorne still did not speak. Instead, he looked at Pan Shen with even more contempt.
“Haha, that's just something I entrusted you to hand over to Lady Artemis. You won't be able to make this journey in vain!”
Shen Pan suddenly understood and immediately spoke cheerfully.
“What do you like in my ranch? Take your pick!”
Hearing this, Lorne's face suddenly turned cold. He immediately grabbed the dog leash and walked out of the cave without hesitation.
“Stop!”
Seeing that the situation was not good, God Pan quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lorne who was about to leave. After groping around on his body for a while, he gritted his teeth and took out two pitch-black horns from the opened magic circle diagram.
This is a divine thing that faded away when he grew up. It contains rich divine power of the Shepherd. It was originally used to forge divine weapons for himself.
Now, in order to win the beauty back, I can only bear the pain and give these two things I can get to the guy in front of me as a thank you gift for asking for advice.
Seeing that this stingy pervert was finally willing to cut off some meat, Lorne took the two horns with satisfaction and spoke leisurely.
“If you want to marry the Muse, there is no chance. Make a bet with the God of Light. The bet is to marry the Muse. If you win, he will get it.”
“How could he agree to this competition?”
"Of course. As long as you question his authority in his professional field, such as music, poetry, medicine, etc..."
When Pan Shen heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded as if he had some understanding.
That's right, according to the arrogant character of the God of Light, he will not tolerate outsiders questioning his professional level.
But Pan, who was suspicious by nature, was still a little worried about this.
“But what if he doesn't agree?”
“Then we should question first, then compete, and finally wait until the dust settles, then take the opportunity to put forward conditions, right?”
“What if he defaults on the bill?”
“So, you not only have to win, but you also have to win in an upright manner. Not only do you have to defeat the God of Light in the areas he is good at, so that he has nothing to say, if you are still not at ease, then find some witnesses.”
Lorne rolled his eyes at Pan next to him angrily, then waved his hand and yawned as he walked toward the cave entrance.
"Okay, I have to send these hounds back. You decide whether you want to try them or not."
As he spoke, he led a few hounds and walked out of the valley, and their figures gradually disappeared into the thick night.
After watching the newly minted **** go, God Pan recalled the hot bodies and beautiful looks of the Muses. His mouth became dry and he drank a few sips of wine.
A series of vague sounds swirled in his head, and gradually a ball of heat rose from his lower abdomen and rushed straight to his sheep brain.
O Muse! Why should such a beautiful goddess be monopolized by Apollo alone?
As long as you can set up a bet and beat that guy, you can have those things yourself!
Pan was pacing and murmuring in the cave, his glowing red eyes constantly flashing in the darkness, gradually brewing a trace of confusion and madness. Finally, the faun's rod hit the ground heavily, with a proud sneer on his face.
That's right, in some aspects, you may not lose!
At the same time, outside the cave covered by vines, Lorne carefully checked the several hounds around him, then looked back at the stone wall that had been restored to its original shape, with the corners of his lips raised.
His wine is not that delicious. It contains the madness of his divinity.
So, little lamb, you have to hold on a little longer.
The next day, early morning.
The sound of rough hoofbeats and the loud neighing of war horses woke everyone up from their sleep.
Centaur? Enemy attack?
In an instant, everyone was on alert and rushed out of the camp.
However, in that tense atmosphere, they saw Pan, the **** who visited last night, actually arriving in front of the camp early in the morning.
Moreover, he led dozens of divine horses behind him.
“Master Apollo, I only had time to choose a gift for Master Artemis last night and forgot to prepare it for you. Therefore, today I brought a war horse that I carefully bred to present to you.”
Looking at the smiling sheep's face in front of him and the horses behind Pan, Apollo was stunned for a moment, then showed a helpful expression and nodded slightly with satisfaction.
Even though he didn't care much about the little gift from the faun, Apollo was still a little unhappy when he ignored his younger brother in front of his sister.
However, now that Pan has shown a humble attitude, Apollo's displeasure finally subsided.
Yes, he is as knowledgeable as his thief father.
At the beginning, Hermes, the **** of speed, had offended the **** of light by stealing.
But later, Hermes bowed his head and admitted his mistake wisely, and gave Apollo a lyre he made from a tortoise shell to ask for his forgiveness. Seeing the beautiful sound of the harp, Apollo gladly accepted it and forgave Hermes.
From then on, Apollo had a lyre and became the **** who mastered the art of music. Because of this, they became brothers and friends.
Later, Apollo wanted to help Hermes enter Mount Olympus to live, but he had to get the consent of the goddess Hera, who had always been jealous of the goddess Maia. For the sake of Hermes, Apollo personally went to persuade the queen Hera. In order to persuade Hera to succeed, he turned Hermes into the appearance of Hera's son, the **** of war Ares. Finally, Hera was moved and agreed to let Hermes enter Mount Olympus.
It can be said that the reason why Hermes achieved his current status was indispensable without the assistance of Apollo. The two sides can be regarded as a model of turning hostility into friendship.
If the son of Hermes is as knowledgeable as he is, I wouldn't mind giving him some blessings to make his path to the gods more convenient.
While Apollo was thinking, the **** Pan rubbed his hands and walked forward with a smile.
“Master Apollo, my father has always praised your musical attainments, and I happen to have some attainments in music as well.”
“Oh? Really?” Apollo smiled, noncommittal.
"It just so happens that you are visiting Arcadia today, and I would like to ask you for advice in person."
Pan continued to smile foolishly, seeing that Apollo was not angry, and there was a hint of subtle cunning in his lowered eyebrows.
“If I win you by chance, I will ask you to give me a small gift.”
You actually want to beat me in music? Just you?
The moment the other person said this, Apollo's eyes narrowed, a touch of pride appeared on his handsome face, and he didn't pay attention to the so-called "little gift" at all.
