Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 163

Chapter 163: You will support yourself according to God, so don't worry about it!

In the Temple of Artemis, the atmosphere was depressing and gloomy.

The Huntress was pacing back and forth in the hall, her expression uncertain.

 The nine muses sat in silence at the table, looking dejected.

 “Apollo the fool!”

Finally, Artemis broke the silence by scolding her unfulfilled brother, and then looked at the nine muses in front of her, but she still had a headache.

 The relationship between the main **** and the subordinate **** is often one of prosperity and loss.

But at the same time, they are not an unbreakable alliance, and may change their families at any time due to changes in divine authority and priesthood.

Now, in order to gain a quick buck, Apollo had a confrontation with the Father God, and as a result, he was sent to Thessaly to herd sheep, with basically no hope of returning in a short time.

Then, the Temple of Light will naturally be empty.

 The nine muses under his command were implicated in this, and their lives were probably also a little difficult.

  After all, there is no main **** who can take charge of their own affairs to protect them. These pampered muses will inevitably be harassed by those who are interested in Olympus.

Among them, there are not only some male gods who covet their beauty, but also goddesses who also want to acquire the power of literature and art.

For example, Aphrodite and Hera are qualified to command the nine Muses and strengthen their divine authority.

Artemis wanted to keep the house for her younger brother, but it was difficult for her to do so alone.

What's more, the trouble is not limited to these muses:

Her weak mother, the patron goddess Leto, who nearly fainted after hearing the news of her son Apollo's banishment, is now crying to her in the holy place of Arcadia, waiting for her comfort;

Apollo's holy place, Delphi, needs someone to patrol and guard it;

Not long ago, due to the negligence of Phaethon, the son of the sun **** Helios, he obtained the divine power to control the movement of the sun from Helios. The functions of this part of the celestial system still need someone to further stabilize it;

Coupled with maintaining some gods, priests and believers scattered around...

Just thinking about it, Artemis felt a mountain of pressure rushing towards her face, making her almost breathless.

Probably because they, brother and sister, share the same main god, they think they can support and take care of each other and survive all crises.

 Hence, they did not seriously manage their relationships with other gods.

Hermes, the only one who had a good relationship with Apollo, also stood on the opposite side of his brother because of the death of Pan.

Now, when the big trouble really comes, Apollo is thrown to Thessaly to herd sheep, and Artemis, who is alone, truly understands the feeling of being pushed down by a wall, and suddenly understands the difficulties that Athena has been having for so many years.

 But now that things have happened, she can only try her best to make amends and take care of one thing first.

“I'm going to Arcadia to take care of my mother and patrol the Holy Land of Delphi. You stay in Olympus and guard the temple!”

Hearing Artemis's arrangement, the emotional Muses realized that they were in a bad situation, their faces turned pale, and they let out faint sobs.

The strong-natured Huntress looked at the goddesses of literature and art in front of her who were obviously unable to resist pressure. She became even more upset and couldn't help but scold them coldly.

 “If you cry, you know how to cry! Apollo was just exiled, not dead!”

The nine muses at the table tried hard to silence their voices, but their faces still had expressions of resentment and sadness.

 “We are afraid that we will not be able to fulfill your commission and bring shame to Lord Apollo...”

Artemis heard the implication and couldn't help being silent for a while.

As a goddess, she certainly understood that leaving these nine delicate muses alone in Olympus was like putting a sheep in a tiger's mouth.

 But at present, she is really too busy to do anything. Even if she wants to provide shelter to these nine muses, she is unable to do so.

Just when the temple was filled with gloom and gloom, a deep voice came from the corner.

"How about I go find Athena? You are both virgins, so she should be willing to help."

 Lorne put the sleeping Atalanta in his arms into the cradle and opened his mouth to make a heartfelt suggestion.

　　Artemis' eyes flashed when she heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head.

“Forget it, it's already rare that she doesn't add insult to injury this time. How can we continue to ask her to help with Apollo's matter?”

In the last attack and defense of Crete, Apollo did not want to interfere in the dispute between the Minoans and the Atlanteans, so he dragged her away in advance, which was regarded as indirectly swaying Athena.

Now that he is in trouble, how can he expect the goddess of wisdom to forget about it?

And if I remember correctly, Athena also seems to have the power of literature and art...

Artemis glanced at the nine delicate muses in front of the table, her eyes flickering.

　　It would be easy to throw these nine thoughtless fools to the woman, but it would be difficult to come back when Apollo comes back. When it comes to winning people's hearts through invitation, that woman is second to none in all of Olympus.

Lorne thought seriously for a moment and proposed again.

 “Where is the Queen Hera that day, or His Majesty the God-King?”

“It's even more impossible! If we throw them over, I'm sure no bones will be left!”

Artemis shook her head without hesitation and refused without thinking.

 The fraternal love of God the Father is unparalleled, and the Queen of Heaven is even more famous as the killer of illegitimate children.

As the nine beautiful illegitimate daughters of the father **** Zeus and the memory goddess Mnemosyne, no matter who falls into the hands of them, they will probably not end well.

Seeing that the proposal was rejected one after another, Lorne also had a headache.

“It doesn't work this way or that way. You can't let me invite Lady Hestia, right?”

He does not mean that.

 Artemis, who was having a headache on how to place the nine muses, suddenly realized it.

 “Yes, Aunt Hestia!”

As the goddess of the hearth and the symbolic [head of the family] of the entire Olympus pantheon, as long as that aunt can help support the scene, we can prevent covetousness from the outside world.

And the most important thing is that she has always had no desires and demands. Even if the nine muses were thrust into her hands, she would not be tempted.

 When his younger brother Apollo returns in the future, he can take back this divine power at any time.

　　There is no safer way than to temporarily store the muses in Aunt Hestia's name.

After figuring out the key, Artemis couldn't help but feel enlightened and beaming.

 “Well, she doesn't usually live in Olympus.”

Seeing this situation, Lorne first reminded him in a low voice, then thought about it for a moment and spoke seriously.

“How about I go and ask you to give it a try? But there is no guarantee of success.”

However, Artemis smiled and shook her head.

 “No, she's not here, can you just be here?”

"ah?"

“You are my aunt's subordinate **** and act as her divine authority. If I leave them to you to take care of them, the effect will still be the same!”

 Artemis immediately grabbed her lover's hand, turned around and announced to the nine muses.

"From today onwards, you will temporarily live in Aunt Hestia's temple. If you need anything, just tell Lorne and he will convey it to me."

Regarding this arrangement, the Muses were stunned for a moment, and then they thought of the pleasant interactions during this period and his performance of speaking up for Apollo at the critical moment. They did not resist accepting the attention of this male god, and nodded in agreement.

 Suddenly accepting such an important appointment, Lorne was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.

 “I'm just a god, how can I manage so much?”

"What are you afraid of? You can't stop me. Isn't there the goddess of wisdom? According to her relationship with my aunt and you, if something goes wrong, she will definitely not sit idly by."

Artemis, however, patted her lover's shoulder meaningfully and showed a teasing smile.

Let his lover, under the banner of Aunt Hestia, be responsible for watching over the muses to prevent them from being poached, or secretly changing families, and by the way, he can also recruit his old enemy Athena to do free coolies.

This arrangement is simply perfect!

 Under the affectionate gaze of the Huntress, Lorne, who was driven to the shelf, could only nod helplessly.

 “Okay then, I'll try my best…”

Seeing her lover shoulder this heavy burden for herself, Artemis felt extremely moved and guilty. When she was leaving, she couldn't help but pull her lover aside and whispered a promise.

“I will definitely make it up to you later!”

Watching the hunting nymphs and the golden-antlered deer chariot disappear at the end of the sky, the sadness on Lorne's face gradually faded, and he looked back at the nine muses standing in a row behind him, with the corners of his mouth raised quietly.

Then, go and serve your sentence in peace, Lord Apollo, I will live up to your sister's trust.

 —You will support yourself from God, so don't worry about it!
