Chapter 259: Down and out, family members
A few days later, it was night.
Perceiving the familiar resonance of the emblem on her chest, Medusa quietly rode the Pegasus out of the city and landed in the dense forest she often visited outside the city.
"coming?"
Lorne's figure walked out of the darkness, smiled and opened his arms, giving Medusa a big, warm hug.
Reunited after a long separation, Medusa wanted to enjoy the rare tenderness between the two, but a few monsters who didn't understand the charm excitedly came over and made noises at the side.
“Gorgon! It's Gorgon!”
“The smallest one before!”
“He's actually grown so tall now, and he still smells like his mother!”
Seeing a group of Typhon's descendants with various monster heads appearing in front of them, Medusa couldn't help but look at Lorne in surprise.
“You brought them all?”
“Not all of them, just 8 of them.”
Lorne counted the numbers, then pointed to the dense forest behind him, helplessly adding.
“Oh, yes, there is another one behind.”
Medusa looked forward and immediately saw a ferocious monster with a body as tall as a mountain, covered with pitch black scales, and with nine huge snake heads on its front. It was hanging its head and coiled motionless on the ground.
“Xiaojiu? What's wrong with her?”
“This girl insisted on fighting with those harpies, and I couldn't stop her, so in order to avoid an accident, I beat her unconscious.”
“Habi and the others, what did they do?”
“Nothing, just to lure Hydra out of Lake Lena, I just threw some animal excrement into it.”
“…” Medusa was silent for a while, then she spoke quietly, “She is more vindictive…”
“Well, she has a very bad temper.” Lorne agreed casually while making follow-up arrangements, “When we get to the mountain, let the snake mother wake her up by herself.”
As for why he didn't come in person, it was because he planned the immoral act of throwing excrement.
At this time, Medusa heard the implication.
“Aren't you going back together?”
“I want to go to the far west to meet your eldest sister Ladon.”
“Are you going to the Golden Apple Orchard?”
“Well, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, so it's inconvenient to take them with you, so I ask you to take these problem children with you to the mountains.”
Lorne said and then waved back.
"And you, Melinoe, also go up the mountain with Medusa. She will arrange a place for you. If you need anything while I am away, you can ask her."
The princess of the underworld, who had gone crazy all the way, reluctantly came out of the shadows. Under the threatening gaze of a certain guardian, she could only pinch her throat and pretend to be a good baby, and took the initiative to introduce herself.
“I am Brother Lorne's sister, please take good care of me from now on.”
younger sister?
Hearing this, Medusa's originally kind eyes suddenly became wary, and she felt a little unhappy.
Lorne noticed Medusa's change in mood and immediately corrected her righteously.
“Did it!”
“Yes, but we have a good relationship.”
At this moment, Melinoe took the initiative to walk up and took Lorne's arm, showing his intimate relationship.
And those dark eyes showed a hint of schadenfreude.
Lorne smiled and took out his right arm from the barren chest, and then gently patted the problem child on the back.
Suddenly, Melinoe felt the divine power in his body dissipate, and the malicious smile on his face suddenly froze. He couldn't help but look at the mark of the dead that lit up on the back of Lorne's hand in astonishment.
Not only was the woman Persephone deceived, but also the old man fell under his spell and gave the guy the divine seal?
"Okay, her divine power has been sealed by me. If she doesn't obey, you will beat her to death!"
Lorne smiled and gave instructions to Medusa, and then gave a more heart-warming supplement.
"If you can't do anything to yourself, you can ask Stheno and Euryale to come. They must have been depressed recently, right?"
"Um!"
Medusa nodded obediently, with a flowery smile on her face, and then she unceremoniously dragged Melinoe behind her who wanted to cause trouble. Having followed Athena, the goddess of wisdom, for so long, even a stone should be enlightened.
Melinoe's little trick of sowing discord is far from destroying her relationship with Lorne.
Moreover, her two sisters must be happy to accept the bad-intentioned thorn.
After all, since the two of them were repaired several times in a row, they haven't had the chance to love their "sister" for a long time.
Noticing the chills that suddenly gained weight on his body, Melinoe shivered inexplicably, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
To finish…
After the simple handover, Lorne gave Medusa a hug again, kissed her smooth forehead, and said goodbye warmly.
“Then I'll leave them to you. Just let the snake mother and Athena decide how to arrange them. It's time for me to leave.”
Medusa stroked the wet marks on her forehead, nodded slightly, and watched Lorne's figure drift away in the night.
Seven days later, in the far west.
Wandering day and night, Lorne arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Looking from a distance, the mountains are rolling and undulating, with the tallest and tallest peak in the center standing at the juncture of chaotic heaven and earth, looking like a giant holding up the sky. The vast and dense forest is his beard and hair, the ridges supporting the mountain are his shoulders, hands and bones, and the peak high into the clouds is his head.
Atlas Mountains…
It seems that the Optimus Titan who was sent here is almost out of breath.
Lorne murmured something, and then looked towards the churning sea.
The legendary Golden Apple Orchard is located near the Atlas Mountains, on an isolated island in the Western Ocean.
When Mount Olympus won the Titanic War, the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia showed her support by bringing back a leafy tree from the west coast to the new God King Zeus and Queen Hera as a wedding gift. Full of golden apples containing immortal divinity.
Hera was so happy that she planted the precious golden apple tree in her sacred garden and sent three nymphs, the Hesperides, and the hundred-headed dragon Ladon to guard it.
After searching carefully along the sea area near Atlas Mountain, Lorne finally discovered an unnamed island hidden by several magic circles after half a day.
Looking at the colorful changes in the glow on the island, Lorne nodded secretly.
That should be it.
It is said that the three Hesperides sisters who guarded the holy garden were named after radiance, red glow and dusk respectively, which represent the changes in the glow at sunset.
The unique manifestation of divinity on the island has already indicated the location of the Golden Apple Orchard.
However, finding the right place is only the first step. How to get the golden apple next without arousing suspicion from others?
Just when Lorne was in trouble, he unknowingly flew out of the boundaries of the normal ocean and came to the chaotic and disorderly primitive ocean.
As soon as he entered this wild area, the strong smell of blood hit his face.
Under the red and black blood mist, densely packed primitive sea beasts surged onto the sea surface, with scarlet eyes and crazy expressions, and they started **** melees and fights with each other.
Lorne frowned slightly when he saw those monsters, even though their limbs were torn to pieces and their organs were torn out, they still rushed forward without fear of death and bit their opponents twice.
Their state is a bit strange, as if they were under a spell...
As his eyes caught a glimpse of the red-black blood mist on the sea that seemed to be expanding, an idea flashed in Lorne's mind, and he instantly thought of the real answer.
It is the divinity of war!
Silently disappearing and observing from the outside, Lorne quickly found the source of the chaos.
—A goddess with long red hair and black wings, standing in the clouds, excitedly applauding the chaotic battlefield.
"Fight, let's fight! I want to see rivers of blood flowing!"
Seeing the iconic red hair and black wings, and the expression that feared that the world would not be in chaos, Lorne couldn't help but be startled.
Eris? Why is she here?
Soon, as streams of substantial blood from the sea poured into Eris's body, slightly raising her divinity, Lorne suddenly realized it.
As the goddess in charge of discord and strife, her divinity is naturally associated with chaos and fighting.
In the last chase, she and the three Furies almost turned half of the Oceanus Sea upside down, and countless sea beasts and divine blood families died directly or indirectly at their hands.
Although Hecate intervened in the end and not only threw the three Furies into the underworld to work, but also almost plucked out all the feathers of Eris, the chaos caused by them obviously gave the goddess of discord a taste of the sweetness.
That's why she quietly sneaked into this primitive ocean, caused and created chaos among the sea beasts, and seduced them into killing and offering sacrifices, in order to increase her divinity.
In the past, we used to deceive people and deceive gods without restraint, but now we have to sneak around to compete with sea beasts.
I am in despair, my family...
Lorne looked at the shouting goddess of discord in the clouds, shook his head in pity, and flashed his eyes faintly.
He seems to have an idea as to who will settle the account with the golden apple.
