Chapter 264: Caught in an adulterer
After thinking for a moment, Lorne carefully repeated what he had said before.
“I'm just dropping you off on my way home, so I don't need to pay you back. After all, I didn't help you much before, and I caused you a lot of trouble...”
“You want it, are you still afraid that I can't afford it?”
Hera frowned and snorted, showing displeasure.
Lorne thought for a while and then spoke sincerely.
“Then give me a smile. During the time I spent with you, it was the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen!”
Hera was stunned by the unexpected answer.
Lorne looked shocked when he saw this.
“Why, can't it be done?”
"boring…"
After coming back to her senses, Hera glared at Lorne, snorted and turned her head away, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly, forming a faint smile.
Lorne captured the subtle changes in expressions, and a certain sense of accomplishment arose in his heart.
Sure enough, no matter how cold-hearted a person is on the surface, she longs for warmth in her heart.
It seemed that the ice in the patient's heart had gradually begun to melt under his words.
“Buzz!”
Just as the atmosphere in front of the holy spring gradually changed subtly, a pattern of light lit up on the stone wall.
When Hera saw this, she suddenly looked gloomy and angry.
“That **** was born!”
“Evil seed?”
“This is the disaster my husband left behind when he made peace with his great-granddaughter Alcmene!”
Hearing Hera's gritted reply, Lorne's eyelids twitched.
Her father is Zeus, and her mother is the granddaughter of the great hero Perseus, that is, Alcmene, the great-granddaughter of His Majesty the God-King. Then isn't this child the future Hercules?
Legend has it that Olympus needs to go through three divine wars before the divine power will be completely stable.
They are the Battle of Titans, the Battle of Typhon, and the Battle of Djinn...
The dust has settled on the first two, only the battle between the giants and the Gigantes family has not yet happened.
According to the [Apocalypse] of the three goddesses of destiny, Hercules is the key to victory in this war.
No wonder Zeus fought with Hera because of this affair, even harming his former wife, because it was related to his status as a **** and the prosperity of Olympus.
Lon's throat felt a little dry as he realized that he seemed to have gotten himself into big trouble.
At this time, Hera closed her eyes for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes, her gaze was gloomy.
“Found it, seems to be in Thebes?”
As the patron saint of women and children, as well as a professional killer of mistresses and terminator of illegitimate children, she naturally has the ability to sense the birth of certain special objects.
Sensing the murderous atmosphere, when Lorne, who was also the illegitimate son of the God King, was considering whether to run away, Hera stepped forward.
“Are you from Thebes too? That's right, take me there!”
Another wave of strong men were temporarily arrested, and Lorne was depressed and speechless.
What kind of vest should I wear if I have nothing to do? In order to look good, he gave away his ancestral home.
According to blood relationship, he is from Thebes (Thebes), but Crete and Athens are his real homes.
Moreover, the Alcmene whom Hera wanted to hunt down was not an orthodox Theban. She was a Mycenaean princess who was exiled to Thebes after committing a crime.
What is this all about...
Lorne was on the verge of tears, vaguely feeling that his hometown was full of malice toward him.
The first time he refreshed to the birth point, he was killed by Zeus;
The second time he spread Dionysianism and was persecuted by King Pentheus;
For the third time, I actually had to form a team with Hera to clear the dungeon in my hometown...
It seems that as long as there is a direct relationship with Thebes, nothing good will happen.
“What are you doing standing still? You haven't even gotten in the car yet!”
Hera's cold snort came. Seeing the gloomy face of the Queen of Heaven, Lorne did not dare to say anything. He could only obediently board his bronze chariot, control two divine horses, and march towards Thebes.
Going fast all the way, day and night.
It only took about a day and a half for the two of them to arrive at Thebes.
At this moment, it is the autumn harvest season. The harvested fields are covered with golden straw, and the joy of harvest festivals is heard from the distant city.
“Hurry up!”
Hera urged with a sullen face, as if she couldn't wait to put her love rival and illegitimate son to death.
“Wow~~!”
At this moment, a loud cry of a baby came from the field on one side. Lorn's heart suddenly moved, he braked suddenly, jumped out of the driver's seat, followed the sound and searched in the straw next to him, and then picked up a small basket.
“What's going on?” Hera asked with a frown.
"It's a child..." Lorne stretched out his hand and took out a pink and tender baby. His tone was full of pity, "It was abandoned by its mother just after birth. How pitiful."
Hera was silent for a moment and raised her hand slightly: "Let me see..."
Lorne hesitated for a moment, and then handed the infant child to Hera on the chariot without leaving any trace, his heart beating wildly.
At this time and place, an abandoned baby appeared in a nearby field. If nothing else happened, it should be that the future Hercules had not escaped.
Fearing the revenge of Queen Hera, Alcmene hid the child in a basket and abandoned it in the fields after giving birth.
According to the original historical trajectory, he should have been picked up by Athena and Hera who were passing by. Under Athena's persuasion, Hera breastfed him, thus allowing Hercules to save his life and obtain an amazing fortune. Divine power.
But just because Athena was able to deceive Hera, it doesn't mean that Lorn himself can.
Furthermore, Hera came specifically to hunt down the mother and son because she sensed some kind of information this time.
Fortunately, as if driven by the inevitable destiny, the queen only held the baby to comfort her for a moment, and then returned the swaddling clothes to Lorne's hands.
"We are just about to enter the city. Let's find him a home then."
Hera gave instructions lightly, and then stopped looking at the beautiful child.
Although he is the protector of women and children, this baby is also very pink and tender, and very lovable. But for some reason, she just couldn't like this child.
As the swaddle returned to his hands, Lorne's heart in his throat finally calmed down.
It would be a long night and many dreams, so he quickly drove the chariot to the outskirts of the royal city, stopped and spoke proactively.
“You go and do your work first. It's up to me to find an adopter for him.”
Hearing this usual thoughtfulness, Hera nodded slightly, got up and walked into the gate of the royal city alone.
After confirming that Hera was out of his range of perception, Lorne touched his back soaked in cold sweat and let out a long sigh of relief.
It is really not easy to protect the famous illegitimate son of Hercules under the nose of the Queen of Heaven.
So, when you grow up, you must remember to repay my brother well.
Lorne pinched the pink cheeks of the future Hercules, and then followed the crowd into the city, heading towards somewhere in the palace.
Since Hera was hunting down Alcmene, he did not dare to follow the original historical trajectory and send the child back to the mother.
Otherwise, both mother and son may die, and he himself may be involved.
Hence, the caregiver that Lorne thought of was his aunt Agao.
At that time, his cousin Pentheus was killed by him because of his cruelty and absurdity in persecuting the Dionysian believers. Aunt Agoe was depressed ever since.
Since she lost a son, let's indirectly compensate her with a son.
Just as Lorne was secretly making up his mind, Heracles in his arms suddenly burst into tears.
At the same time, a graceful figure rushed out of the door on one side with bare feet, looking around following the baby's cry, and finally fixed his gaze on a certain place.
Then, she stumbled across the threshold and steps, rushed straight to Lorne in the alley, and grabbed the swaddle in his hand.
“Child? My child? Is it you?”
Looking at that beautiful and beautiful face, as well as the anxious and surprised expression on that face, Lorne, the person involved, was sweating profusely.
Mother and son should not even be at this time, as this could lead to death!
Lorne quickly stretched out his hand to cover Alcmene's lips and teeth, applied dozens of concealment, psychedelic and other magic spells in a row, and then drank in a low voice with a dark face.
“Shut up and follow me if you want to live!”
Just as Alcmene was about to speak, a gloomy whisper came to her ears again.
“Hera is coming…”
In an instant, the Mycenaean princess trembled, her pale face full of horror.
Seeing that Alcmene had realized the seriousness of the problem, Lorne couldn't help but grab the other person's arm and sneak towards the outside of the city quickly and carefully.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour of fear, the three of them finally found the gate of the royal city.
As she was out of danger, Alcmene held her lost son in her arms and couldn't help but want to express her gratitude to the kind stranger in front of her.
"I…"
“Don't say anything, walk quickly, the further away the better!”
Lorn immediately interrupted Alcmene's politeness, looking around and urging urgently.
Things have reached this stage and everything is in chaos.
What he can do now is to show a way out for the mother and son and buy some time to escape.
As for what happened next, he was helpless.
Hearing the anxiety and uneasiness in the other party's tone, Alcmene immediately picked up her son and nodded repeatedly.
“Okay, be careful, we're leaving now!”
“Let's go, where are you going?”
A cold and deep voice came from above. Lorne and Alcmene under the city wall looked up at the white-armed goddess who appeared at the top of the city at an unknown time. Their bodies froze and their expressions changed drastically.
