Chapter 260 The Innate Holy Body that takes the blame
In the holy garden, three nymphs clothed in rays of light walked barefoot on the island, checking the growth of flowers, plants, fruits and trees as usual, calling for clouds and rain from time to time to irrigate some withered plants.
However, the work did not last long before the familiar feeling of tiredness came over them.
They are nominally the goddesses who guard sacred gardens, but in reality they work as gardeners.
With this boring and repetitive life day after day, even if you have great enthusiasm at the beginning, it will gradually wear away as time goes by.
Just as the three Hesperides sisters were patrolling the garden and preparing to return home, a faint and strong fragrance came from outside the island.
"What is the taste?"
The youngest sister among the three sniffed, looking curious.
“It's wine, the best fairy honey wine!”
“Well, when I went to Olympus for the last big sacrifice, Hebe gave me a pot and I tasted it. It tasted great!”
The two sisters responded with chirping, obviously having a deep memory of this excellent drink.
Listening to the descriptions of her sisters, the youngest sister felt that the fragrance coming from outside the island seemed to be stronger, and her throat moved unconsciously.
“How about we go out and have a look?”
“This, is not good...”
“It's just a look. Observing the nearby situation is also within the scope of our duty to guard the holy garden. Moreover, Radon is still here, what accident can happen?”
“Yeah, that's right.”
Finally, at the instigation of their younger sister, the three sisters reached a consensus and cautiously walked out of the sacred garden to search for the source of the fragrance.
Soon, a wine bottle half buried on the beach attracted their attention.
The purple-red wine gurgled out along a crack in the bottle and seeped into the fine sand.
What a waste!
Seeing the scene in front of them, the three nymphs were heartbroken and hurriedly rushed forward and took out the wine jug.
With a slight shake, the sound of liquid flowing inside made them excited.
There is still more than half a pot.
It seems that this was probably something that a passing **** accidentally dropped into the sea, and was then washed up on the island by the tide.
Just as the three nymphs were thinking about sharing a share with each other and tasting the taste of the fairy food and honey, a strong wind came from behind and hit them on the back of the neck almost indiscriminately.
Red light, and the smell of blood...
With the last impression, the eyes of the three nymphs went dark, and they all fainted to the ground.
After easily knocking down the target, Lorne skillfully threw a dozen suppression spells to confirm that they would not wake up in a short time. Then he stopped with satisfaction and looked at the three nymphs with jade bodies lying around. Fairy.
They can catch fish with a straight hook. It seems that the three of them are going crazy from the gardening job.
So, there is no future if you depend on others.
Lorne shook his head and cast a spell to hide the three nymphs. Then the mark of the dead on the back of his hand lit up, the breath of the living disappeared, and the figure faded and disappeared.
In addition to allowing him to travel unhindered in the underworld, Hades's divine seal seems to have hidden properties.
After completing the preparations, Lorne sneaked all the way and carefully got into the holy garden.
After a burst of white light streaks, the scenery suddenly opened up, with luxuriant flowers and grass, green nursery and flowing water twisting and turning, pieces of rainbow rising under the water vapor, the rich ether can almost condense into colorful light mist, It's truly beautiful.
As a symbol of the entire holy garden, the golden apple tree is easy to find and is planted on the top of a hill in the center of the island.
The thick trunk reaches straight into the sky, and the lush branches and leaves almost cover most of the sky. The bright golden patches looming under the leaves are undoubtedly the legendary golden apples.
However, a monster covered with silver scales, a hundred meters long, and carrying hundreds of huge dragon heads, was lying under the tree, with half of its head hanging down and sleeping, and the other half of its head held high, deep and deep. The vertical pupil overlooked the entire holy garden.
This is Ladon? so beautiful.
Using "beautiful" to describe a dragon species is a very rare comment.
But it has to be said that Ladon is a little different from the ferocious gods and monsters he has seen before.
The silver dragon scales on her body shone gorgeously, and her slender figure exuded a bit of elegance. She was half asleep, and half raised her head with petals and leaves scattered on it. She looked peaceful and quiet. Lorne actually saw something in her. A "holy" feeling.
Obviously he is the most complete inheritor of Typhon's divine power, but the contrast in personality is so huge.
It really corresponds to that saying, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of whom is different.
Just as Lorne was muttering to himself, several eyes suddenly focused on him. The fifty heads that had been sleeping soundly on the grass woke up in an instant. They all turned their necks and locked their sights on the location of an intruder.
At the same time, the boiling and surging ether weaved a dense magic array in front of Radon. Wind blades, fireballs, rock spears, water arrows and other dense magic condensates gathered together and appeared crazily.
Unlike the physically powerful Demon Ancestor Typhon, Radon, the hundred-headed dragon, seems to specialize in magic and spells, and is better at long-range attacks.
Has it been discovered?
Lorne felt a shiver in his heart, and immediately took the initiative to reveal himself, took out the mother snake's scales from his arms, and held them up high.
“It was Echidna who asked me to come!”
Perceiving a familiar aura coming from above, Ladon's head frowned slightly.
“Mother, is she still alive?”
A cold and melodious voice came from the mouth of the giant dragon leader, and his golden eyes stared at the mysterious man who broke into the holy garden.
"She died, but I used some special methods to revive her."
Lorne opened his mouth to explain, briefly recounting his close relationship with the three Gorgon sisters and how he met and helped the Snake Mother in the Arima Crypt.
After Ladon listened carefully, the magic arrays in front of him were lifted one after another, and the magic condensation around him was also dispersed. The originally majestic and huge body gradually shrank, turning into a tall man with bat wings on his back, silver hair and golden eyes. Women, take the initiative and take a step forward.
Obviously, she has believed this rhetoric and has transformed into a common Titan form for easier communication.
But the problem is that due to the living habits of gods and monsters, she wears nothing outside.
Lorne glanced at it for a few times, then turned his head decisively, raised his hand and threw a piece of loose clothing over, gesturing to the other side to cover the overly nutritious car lights and slender lower body.
The first time he used the common appearance of a Titan to communicate with a stranger, Ladon didn't think much about it. He put his clothes loosely on his body and asked casually.
“Tell me, why did you come to me?”
Immediately, as if she felt that her tone was a bit harsh, the Dragon Lady opened her mouth to add again. "You saved my mother. If you need my help, I will try my best to do it."
Hearing the word "try your best", Lorne's eyes flashed slightly.
The words are not finished, proving that the eldest sister among Typhon's children is not as easy to fool as her younger brothers and sisters, most of whom can only remain in animal form.
Lorne thought for a moment and explained his purpose in a deep voice.
“I lost too much life force by saving people before, so I wanted to get some golden apples to replenish it.”
“Golden apples? How many more?”
Hearing this, Radong snorted angrily.
“I am just the guard of the Holy Garden, not the owner here. You really think I can make decisions.”
“I didn't say I'm going to embarrass you, just turn a blind eye.”
"I can't even close a hundred eyes. This thing is there. If Hera wants to check it, she can find it at any time!"
“As long as it doesn't get traced to us...”
Lorne smiled and spoke, then paused and added meaningfully.
"I heard that Eris, the goddess of discord, the daughter of the Queen of Heaven, has been wandering in the sea near the Holy Garden recently, and seems to be very interested in golden apples..."
"how do you know?"
Ladong was slightly startled and looked at Lorne in surprise.
“She has come here several times to cause trouble.”
Lorne, who was just hinting and throwing dirty water, couldn't help but smile.
Lucky hit? Can this happen?
But then, he thought of the reason.
In the future golden apple incident, Eris was able to take out a golden apple with the words "dedicated to the most beautiful goddess" written on it and throw it into the center of the venue on the eve of the wedding to serve as a bait to stir up disputes, which proved that she had There are definitely golden apples in stock, and most of them come from the wrong source.
Good guy, this is the first time I've met someone who doesn't need to throw dirty water on me.
Whether it is the motive, the occasion, or the criminal record, they all perfectly match the characteristics of the criminal suspect. It would be a waste of money not to take the blame!
Realizing that he had chosen an excellent partner, Lorne no longer had any worries in his heart and straightforwardly told Radon all about his plan.
After listening to the other person's story, the eyes of the guardian of the holy garden gradually brightened, and he was obviously convinced.
Upon seeing this, Lorne immediately struck while the iron was hot and gave instructions.
"After I leave, you will report that ten golden apples have been stolen. The thief's body is glowing red and smells of blood..."
“That's not right!” Ladon shook his head and corrected seriously, “It's twenty!”
"..." Lorne saw the glint in the dragon lady's eyes and couldn't help but complain, "You eat so much, aren't you afraid that Hera will find out something is wrong and come back to trouble you?"
"Even if you can't eat it, can't I keep it? It's shiny, looks good and smells good." Ladon rolled his eyes at his partner, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Save it for me first, and put it with my mother."
"OK…"
Lorne weakly agreed, cursing secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, no matter how elegant and beautiful a dragon is, one should not overestimate her moral character.
This species is famous for its greed and collecting habit.
The reason why he was able to get half points in a transaction was because he saved the snake mother.
Otherwise, according to the nature of this female dragon, she would probably take 70% before she would give up.
As soon as he reached a consensus, Ladon couldn't wait to transform into the prototype of a dragon, picked the twenty largest and best golden apples from the tree, divided them into two parts and handed them to the partners in front of him.
“Put it away for me first, and you'll make up for me if it's missing. That's a deal!”
Hearing the faint threat in the dragon lady's words, Lorne put away the stolen goods and reminded him angrily.
“Don't worry, finish the rest of your homework first.”
“What homework?”
“Don't you think the Holy Garden is too clean? It doesn't look like it has just been looted?”
When Radong heard the words, he immediately understood. A circle of magic arrays lit up in front of him. Wind blades, fireballs, rock spears, water arrows and other dense magic condensations were directed towards Lorne.
“I'll go and do it without even saying a word!”
Lorne cursed loudly and decisively activated the top speed of [Goat] to avoid Radon's indiscriminate bombardment and ran towards the outside of the holy garden.
On the way, he did not forget to pick up some of the more precious potions along the way.
In any case, if this thing was left where it was, it would be the result of being blown to pieces by the dragon. It would be better to bring it back to the God of War Mountain and use it to benefit more lives.
Under the passionate performance of the two accomplices, the holy garden was filled with smoke and dust and became a mess.
After Lorne felt that the fire was almost done, he decisively broke through the light door, woke up the three lying nymphs, and ran towards the primitive ocean.
Ten breaths later, he traced the red and black blood clouds and found the goddess of discord who instigated the sea beasts to fight. He quietly raised his hand and quickly fled the scene.
A dull crashing sound came from above the head. Eris, who was using his blood to strengthen his divinity of strife, opened his eyes in shock and looked at the thing falling in his arms.
Strange, why do apples fall from the sky?
Moreover, are they golden apples in the holy garden?
Forget it, what I see is mine! Let's taste it first!
Eris licked her lips excitedly, picked up the golden apple in her arms, and was ready to taste this beautiful thing from heaven.
However, the dazzling rays of light broke through the blood clouds gathered around, and the three nymphs guarding the holy garden stared angrily at the shameless thief who picked up the golden apple and was about to bite it.
