Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 261

Chapter 261 Friends of women specialize in young women (4.2k)

Dozens of miles away, Lorne looked back at the chaotic primitive ocean where blood and glow intertwined, and a very unkind smile appeared on his face.

 With "good sister" Eris blocking the gun, the theft of the Holy Garden should not be traced to him.

Once the storm is over, the golden apple can be sent to Ares Mountain and handed over to Asclepius, the **** of medicine, so that the eldest nephew can promote research on the "immortal medicine".

 Double-digit golden apples, plus a lot of rare herbs taken from the Holy Garden, should be enough for the boy to come up with some finished products.

Lorne was thinking secretly, and the haze accumulated in his eyes was gradually diluted a lot.

 The reason why he went to great lengths to get the golden apples and the elixir of immortality was mainly because of the hidden dangers Hecate left on him, which blocked his way of collecting divinity and advancing to the main **** by means of chance dice.

 According to the Queen of Hades, as long as he completes the work of collecting divinities and is promoted to the main god, it is equivalent to entering a mature stage.

 At that time, Hecate will most likely attack him.

Since he was not confident enough to fight against the goddess of the dark moon, Lorne naturally did not dare to go all the way.

For the current plan, he can only find another way, thinking about how to bypass the collection work of the twelve gods, complete the promotion in another way, and have more ability to protect himself in the upcoming confrontation.

 The immortal medicine envisioned by the God of Medicine is a feasible path.

As for whether it can be successful, we can only try it first.

Lorne sorted out his thoughts over and over again, and after confirming that there were no omissions for the time being, he descended from the clouds, passed through the dense forest, and came to a clear river, ready to wash away the fatigue and dust on his body before continuing on the journey.

However, as soon as he picked up a handful of water, he saw a sad figure standing on the other side of the upstream river.

She was a middle-aged woman with a relatively ordinary appearance, but she wore a straight white gauze skirt that looked simple and elegant; her beautiful curly hair flowed out from one side of the crown inlaid with pearls, which invisibly added a bit of grace. The temperament, seen from a distance, is quite impressive.

But at this moment, the noble lady was worried about something for some reason, with a sickly pale look on her face. She frowned and stared at her reflection in the river. Her originally bright blue eyes gradually dimmed and were filled with depression and sadness. filled.

 Gradually, crystal tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, slipped from the lady's cheeks, and fell into the rushing river.

 Alas, every family has troubles these days, and life is difficult for everyone.

Lorne took a distant look, sighed secretly, and prepared to leave quietly so as not to disturb this lonely and sad lady.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, he saw the noble lady who was originally on the river bank walking into the rushing river step by step.

Soon, the rushing water was up to her waist and level with her chest.

Seeing that the noble lady was still walking towards the middle of the river step by step with a blank look on her face, Lorne quickly spoke to dissuade her.

 “Madam, please don't do anything stupid!”

Hearing the sudden shout, the noble lady couldn't help but stop, looked up at the kind person on the other side, pursed her lips, and shook her head lightly.

“Young man, this has nothing to do with you, don't bother me...”

“It doesn't matter at first, but it matters when you see it.”

Lorne sighed and warned gently again.

 “Madam, if you don't come up first, there is nothing in this world that we can't overcome.”

The lady's face turned dark, and her chest was heaving with anger.

"I don't want to die! I just want to be alone..."

However, as if the movement was too intense, the lady's foot slipped and she fell into the rushing river, her body heaving in the turbulent torrent.

　　　Yes, good intentions lead to bad things.

When Lorne saw this, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry. He quickly jumped into the rushing river, locked the lady's slender waist from behind, pulled her out of the water, and dragged her to the other side.

But as soon as she reached the shallow water where she could stand, the upright lady pushed Lorne away and snorted angrily.

 “I have my own hands and feet, I don't need your help!”

 Lorne innocently raised his hands in a gesture of please, and stepped aside wisely.

Watching the lady lift up her skirt, head buried, and walk one foot deep and one foot shallow toward the shore, he couldn't help but whisper in his heart.

This lady has a very strong temper, and being careful can cause great harm to the body.

 “Poof!”

At this moment, the lady who had just stepped onto the shore swayed, opened her mouth and spat out a stream of blood mist, and fell straight into the grass by the river.

“…” Lorne was speechless for a moment, his forehead covered with black lines.

 Is this all possible? I might as well change my job to become a cursed god.

Looking at the motionless lady on the river bank, Lorne sighed, came to the grass, carried the lady on his back, and walked towards the forest not far away.

 At night, the burning branches crackled and the bright yellow flames danced happily, illuminating the cave covered by the vines.

Accompanied by a rustling sound, the noble lady in the cave woke up from her coma. She shook her groggy head and looked at the bluestone slabs and paving under her by the firelight shining into the cave. There was a thick layer of leaves on it, and then he touched the thin quilt covering his body, and a complex color appeared in his bright eyes.

 “Are you awake? Do you want to come out for something to eat?”

Outside the cave, Lorne was sitting in front of the fire, turning over some hunted pheasants and hares, and asked with a smile.

After a moment of silence, the lady stood up and walked out of the cave. She lifted up her skirt and sat down gracefully, then spoke slowly.

 “You saved me?”

“It's impossible to talk about it. I saw you lying on the grass and I was worried about catching cold, so I took the initiative and changed a bed for you.”

Lorne smiled slightly and used humorous words to dilute the seriousness on the other side, and handed the roasted pheasant to the lady beside him.

He has become extremely proficient in the communication experience of talking to people and talking to ghosts.

Since he knew that his opponent was angry and had a strong self-esteem, Lorne naturally wanted to smooth things over to avoid any disagreements and cause unnecessary trouble.

Anyway, after tonight, each side of the road faces the sky, so there is no need to make each other unhappy because of a few words.

 “Thank you, thank you…”

The lady took the pheasant and spoke hesitantly.

 I don't know whether I'm grateful for this food or for the previous rescue.

 Furthermore, her tone was quite blunt, and she seemed to rarely say these two words to outsiders.

 Looks like they are probably from a high-ranking royal family.

Lorne muttered to himself, took out a bowl of fungus soup and handed it over, asking casually.

“By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet.”

 The lady thought for a while and answered in a deep voice.

 “Cera, an Argive.”

 “Bacchus, from Thebes.”

Lorne nodded, smiled politely, and announced the future Roman name of Dionysus.

By the way, Bacchus is also known as the "God with a Thousand Faces".

 After several rounds of soup and exchanging names, the atmosphere between the two gradually became harmonious.

With nothing to do, Lorne couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked casually.

"Madam, who hurt you like this? Why didn't you tell your family that such a big thing happened? It's not very safe to go to such a deep mountain alone."

"my husband…"

　　　“It was my husband who injured me.”

Kera spoke expressionlessly, his face under the firelight as cold as frost.

 The atmosphere, which had eased somewhat, became cold again.

It's really a matter of not mentioning the pot. Lorne reflected on himself and quickly changed his mind. "Husbands and wives are bound to have conflicts. As long as the misunderstandings are resolved, there may be a day when the rain will pass and the sky will clear up."

 “He died, I did it…”

 “Ahem.”

Lorne coughed violently and was speechless, so he quickly changed the subject.

 “The meat here is also roasted, come on, you can eat...”

Kera took the hare handed over by Lorne and bit it down hard, making a creepy squeaking sound as she chewed it. She seemed to regard it as her dead husband.

 Domestic violence and counter-murder? Do you Argosian couples play so wildly?

Lorne cursed and regretted that he had accidentally opened a dangerous topic.

 But a strong curiosity gradually brewed in his heart and turned into a mysterious inquiry.

 “What's going on? Why don't you tell me and listen.”

Immediately, seeing the lady's uncertain expression, Lorne quickly added.

 “Speak out and maybe you'll feel better...”

Hearing those comforting words, Kera felt sad in her heart. She could no longer suppress the desire to talk in her heart and shouted angrily.

“Not only did he have an affair behind my back, he actually attacked me for a woman and a **** who hasn't even been born yet!”

As if he was too excited to speak, the roasted hare skewered on a tree branch was torn into two halves by the lady in front of him.

Hearing the crunching sound of flesh splitting, Lorne's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and he murmured secretly in his heart.

 Could it be that this is the fate of my late husband?

At this time, the noble lady, who had been suppressed for a long time, obviously opened the floodgates and recounted her unfortunate experience and marriage.

"He was messing around outside, and I put up with it! He brought his illegitimate children home one after another, and I put up with it! In the end, he actually attacked me for his mistress and scoundrel! He kept saying something, that child's His birth was the guidance of destiny for him, and it was related to his great cause!

 Destiny! great cause! It was just an impulse in the lower body, but he could still give such a high-sounding reason!

 Me, ahem…”

Keira coughed violently, and the handkerchief was covered with golden-red blood.

 “Don't get excited, don't get excited!”

Lorne quickly threw out a few calming spells and helped the noble lady sit down.

After venting his anger, the anger accumulated in Kera's heart finally eased a little, but the helpless sadness followed.

“Many people say that love is the most beautiful thing in the world, but why am I living in such pain?”

 “Because love and marriage are two different things.”

Lorne sighed and explained in a deep voice.

“Love is something that is easy to make one's heart beat. It is more of a mutual enjoyment. You can ignore the romance, pursue passion without restraint, and prefer the ideal you desire.

But in my opinion, marriage is a kind of mutual protection. Even if there is love in it, it seems very weak and is constantly being worn away. Each other's responsibilities and obligations will gradually become the background of marriage, and once you encounter some The partner of a person who has a weak sense of responsibility and a low sense of morality will naturally have a more painful life. "

Hearing this, Kera thought carefully about everything she had experienced, and couldn't help but nodded silently.

“You are right, I mistakenly thought that the two were equivalent, and that's why I lived in such pain.”

"Since the continuation of this marriage makes you so painful, why do you still torture yourself so much? Wouldn't it be better to get a divorce?"

Lorne answered casually and looked at the troubled lady with a surprised look on his face.

Similarly, Kera also looked at the kind-hearted young man in surprise and confusion.

 “Divorce? Why divorce?”

 “Didn't you say that your life was very painful?”

 “Can divorce be the solution?”

"Why force yourself to do unhappy things? Life is not just for getting married and having children. Reproduction is an important part, but it is by no means the whole of life. Just look at how the flowers bloom and the water flows. The sun How does it rise and when does the sun set? Or it's good to understand some truths and encounter some interesting things.”

Lorne smiled, looked at the lady in front of him, and pondered meaningfully.

“Marriage is about pursuing happiness, but divorce is also about it.”

Answers that she had never thought of came into her mind, and Kela couldn't help being deeply shocked.

 Marriage is for the pursuit of happiness, so is divorce?

 But immediately, a strong sense of fear arose in her heart.

If this is the case, then what is the point of my long-term persistence, even going to extremes and distortions again and again in order to make this marriage last?

 “Nonsense!”

Kera shook her head and retorted, with a cold expression on her face.

“What do you, a kid like you who have never experienced the beauty of marriage, know?”

 “Is it beautiful?”

Lorne smiled, looked at the noble lady who pressed her lips tightly and tried to remain calm, and asked quietly.

 “So, how long has it been since you laughed from the bottom of your heart?”

 “How long has it been since you had a real moment of relaxation?”

“How long has it been since you took a good look at everything in this world and felt moved?”

　　I opened my mouth for a moment, wanting to answer, but the silence continued to lengthen.

 Yes, she couldn't answer.

 Ever since she got married to her husband, she has always lived in hatred. In order to continue the marriage that existed in name only and to maintain her own status, she almost lost her normal feelings and preferences, and gradually became a little distorted.

 So, is this really the happiness you pursue?

Kera was at a loss, looking at the beating flames, her confused thoughts at a loss.

 “Would you like some? Maybe it will make you feel better.”

 Keela subconsciously took the water bag thrown next to him, pulled out the cork, and the aroma of fermented grapes filled the air.

 It is wine.

 She had no superfluous feelings about this drink at first, but her incompetent children praised it full of praise and showed various unbearable drunkenness due to drinking all day long.

 As a result, this gradually led to a bad impression of wine.

“Don't think about things you can't figure out, and don't do things you can't finish. The days are still long, so there's no need to rush.”

Hearing the comfort in her ears, Kera's heart trembled, she poured the scarlet wine into her throat, and drank heavily.

 That's right too, screw it!

Looking at the noble lady gradually letting go of her airs and worries and enjoying the dinner to her heart's content, Lorne showed a satisfied smile on his face.

His title of "Friend of Women" is not for nothing. Back then, countless unmarried and married women on the island of Crete came to him for psychological consultation. What kind of relationship problems and deep-rooted women have he not seen?

So, I wish this lady who encountered misfortune in her marriage can also receive the blessing of Dionysus, go through the trough and confusion of life, and find her own joy.

The **** of joy under the firelight smiled and raised his glass.
