Chapter 324 If you are not good at tea art, you need to thicken your tea (4k)
"It's you again!"
At this moment, Katniss on the field also saw the three people who had a conflict with her in the morning. She suddenly couldn't hold back her anger and began to fight with ill intentions.
"How dare you come to your door? You want to be beaten, right?"
Seeing this, King Admetus quickly stopped Katniss who wanted to fight.
"Katniss, this is a guest from the Kingdom of Iolkos. He has come all the way to help Thessaly solve the genie disaster. Don't be rude!"
"Come all the way from Iolkos to help us? Is this such a good thing?"
Katniss raised an eyebrow, then sneered.
"When did that greedy old guy Pelias become a moral model of helping others? I guess there must be conditions?"
"Shut up!"
King Admetus glared at this outspoken subordinate, and then looked at the two men and one woman beside him with some embarrassment, with a wry smile.
"It seems that there is some misunderstanding between you. Why don't you three go to the garden first? My wife Alcestis has already hosted a banquet there. She has lived in Thessaly for a long time and misses her homeland very much. . After I finish the trivial matters at hand, I will definitely go to the banquet as soon as possible and apologize to you in person. "
The handsome young man at the head smiled and nodded, and walked down the steps laid by King Admetus obediently.
"It just so happens that I also want to chat with that niece a little more, so I won't disturb Your Majesty."
Watching several maids lead the three of them to the garden, Admetus breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could take a breath, a hand slapped him **** the shoulder, almost knocking him off his feet.
"Hey, his name is the queen's niece? So he is also your uncle? When did Pelias have such a brother? Didn't the old guy take care of all his top brothers in order to usurp the throne?"
Hearing the voice behind him, Admetus stood firm on the throne and looked at Katniss who had slipped up at some point, helpless to explain.
"They are Atlanteans, from Poseidon."
"Oh, it turns out to be Poseidon's species. Why did I smell a fishy smell from a distance?"
Katniss nodded thoughtfully and looked at the direction the three were leaving, her eyes full of teasing.
Lorne in the corner was eating melon with gusto while speaking secretly to Medea beside him.
The former king of Iolkos, Critos, married his brother's daughter Tylo, gave birth to three children, and passed the throne to his eldest son Aeson.
However, Queen Tylo had an affair with Poseidon, the **** of the sea, during her marriage, and secretly gave birth to two illegitimate children.
Pelias, the current king of Iolkos, is one of the illegitimate children. Driven by ambition, he took advantage of the domestic rebellion to conspire to usurp the throne of his brother Aesong and banish him.
However, due to the improper position, Pelias became suspicious and cold, and was very wary and harsh towards the blood relatives around him.
When Admetus, the king of Thessaly, pursued Alcestis, the daughter of Pelias, he often encountered difficulties from his father-in-law.
If he hadn't happened to be friends with Apollo, who was serving a sentence in Thessaly at the time, and received the great help from the **** of light, Admetus might not have been able to win the beauty back.
However, even if they were married, the relationship between the father-in-law and the father-in-law could not be said to be harmonious.
Without definite benefits, Pelias, who is selfish by nature, will not care about the life and death of his daughter and son-in-law. If Thessaly suffers a disaster, he is more likely to take advantage of it and take advantage of Thessaly's weakness to annex it and expand himself. territory.
Therefore, this is why Katniss sneered directly when she heard that the three of them were introduced by Pelias.
Judging from the reactions of King Admetus and the previous three people, it was clear that Katniss had guessed everything.
"Their condition is that I build a temple for Poseidon in the royal city and personally preside over the sacrifice."
Admetus said, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
This intention is obvious. The leader of a country personally performs a large sacrifice to another main **** in public, which means abandoning the original belief and worshiping the new main **** as the guardian of the city-state.
The gods are just sleeping, not dead.
What's more, the main **** currently worshiped in Thessaly is still the **** king Zeus.
If I dare to do this blatantly, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sun the next day after offering sacrifices on the first day.
Moreover, it is well known that Poseidon is a god. He has always only cared about the spread of his beliefs and his own interests. He rarely has the habit of wiping the butts of outsiders. If you believe that he will help with the pressure after the incident, it is better to go to Xin Si The Tykes River has never been polluted.
Of course, it is also possible that this situation is exactly what Poseidon and Pelias want to see.
As soon as he died, the enemy took advantage of the chaos in Thessaly to rob Thessaly's population and resources on the pretext of rebuilding faith.
Lorne, who was eating all he could on the side, smiled quietly and listened without making any comments or reactions.
Admetus is not the outspoken type like Katniss. He said this in public mainly to express the difference between closeness and distance, and to increase his favorability. In the future, he may intend to use their hands to check and balance the expansion of Poseidon Temple.
It's a pity that Admetus's little tricks can't trick the higher-ranked Lorne at all, and it's just a wink.
"Forget it, there are guests here, let's not talk about these intrigues."
Seeing that his good intentions did not achieve the desired effect, Admetus had no choice but to stop talking. With a gentle and humble smile on his face, he took the initiative to walk down the steps and ask.
"Katniss, introduce me to your friends from far away."
Katniss scratched her head and was trying to recall the identity information mentioned by Lorne when a low and solemn voice came from outside the palace.
"They are from Arcadia. They were entrusted by the goddess Artemis to come here to share your worries."
At the same time, two figures walking side by side, wearing blood-stained golden armor, each holding a ferocious giant head in their hands, stepped into the palace door together and bowed to Lorne, with a relaxed and friendly look on their faces. smile.
“I'm so lucky to be able to fight alongside you again.”
And a small figure emerged from behind them and rushed happily to Lorne, his bright eyes flashing with excitement, like a thirsty deer seeing a stream.
"You're finally here!"
Lorne smiled and nodded, his eyes swept over the twin brothers and Helen, and then turned to look at King Admetus, taking the initiative to show his goodwill and salute.
"Your Majesty, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you..."
Admetus nodded quickly, his expression inexplicably stiff.
Looking at the reaction of the king opposite, Lorne suddenly remembered that Artemis seemed to have thrown a snake into Admetus's wedding room under the pretext that the other party had forgotten to sacrifice to her, and killed the king. The unlucky king was frightened to death on his wedding night, and then used his soul as a bargaining chip to teach his brother Apollo, who was unwilling to bow, a lesson.
Not to mention that this guy is a god, even if a real **** takes off his pants and lifts the quilt to see a snake baring its teeth, it will inevitably leave some psychological shadow.
Of course, forget it about Zeus and Poseidon. The one who will leave a psychological shadow at that time will probably be the snake.
Seeing Admetus trembling a little under Artemis' lust, Lorne quickly spoke to comfort him.
"Easing disasters and protecting innocent people from harm is also the mission entrusted to us by the goddess Athena and the shepherd on the Ares Mountain."
After hearing this, the frightened Admetus relaxed slightly.
As long as the goddess of hunting didn't send someone specifically to find him, and with Athena, the mother of mankind, and the shepherd on the Ares Mountain standing by, he should be fine this time.
After feeling relieved, Admetus gathered everyone together, hosted a banquet, and explained the current situation in Thessaly at the dinner table.
The djinn clan's plundering is currently relatively obscure, mostly small groups, and the targets they choose are remote towns and villages with little information. By the time the news comes, they have already fled. These giant spirits seemed to be quite cautious and immediately dived underground as soon as they noticed something was wrong. Faced with the intricate underground tunnels, there were too many people on the Thessaly side, but the other side did not show up at all. With fewer people, it would easily become a fueling tactic, which was purely It is a gift to those underground creatures.
The enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear, the current situation is relatively passive, and no one has any good way to completely eliminate the disaster for a while.
Therefore, they had no choice but to move the population as usual, shrink the defense line, and let a few divine blood heroes lead an elite team to wander outside, trying to find out the paths and lairs of the giants, and then wait for the time to come and then attack with thunder, and complete the victory in one battle. .
After a brief chat, it was already getting late.
Admetus glanced at the dim sky outside the window, put down his glass and stood up.
"That's it for today. You are tired from the journey, so you should rest for the night first. Once you have regained your energy, we can work together to solve the current troubles."
Then, he pointed in the direction of the garden and smiled helplessly.
"If there are relatives coming to visit, I won't invite you to stay overnight in the palace. My two friends, Telamon and Katniss, will be responsible for entertaining them. Please forgive me for any inconvenience."
Everyone listened to the king's approachable complaints, laughed and nodded to express their understanding.
Telamon is responsible for entertaining the three princes and princesses of Sparta, and Katniss is responsible for entertaining Lorne and Medea from Arcadia.
However, in front of the house, when it was the turn to assign specific residences, Helen trotted over with her wand in hand, approached Katniss and the other three, and whispered her request.
"Can we live together?"
"Why? Your two brothers are opposite."
Katniss scratched her head, confused.
"Because..." Helen opened her mouth, glanced at someone, then grabbed the pink hand next to her and said, "Because, I miss Medea!"
Seeing Helen who was approaching her kindly, Medea couldn't help but be startled, her mind filled with questions.
Is their relationship so good? Didn't we just have a fight before?
On the side, Katniss, who provided accommodation, was also a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't seem to work. My house is not big to begin with. There are only three rooms. It's a bit reluctant to squeeze another person in."
"It's okay, we can squeeze in."
Helen answered without thinking, looking past Katniss and looking straight at Lorne behind her.
At this time, Medea noticed Helen's little movements and suddenly realized.
Are you actually thinking about this? This female fox!
Following a secret curse, Medea rolled her eyes and showed a sweet smile,
"I haven't seen Helen for a long time. Let her come with me."
"But the room..."
"I can…"
Just as Helen was about to speak, Medea behind her answered first.
"Give her my room, and my senior brother and I will squeeze in."
Immediately, she held Helen's hands, full of sincerity and enthusiasm.
"It doesn't matter if I make do with it for a while. I will never let my good sisters be wronged."
Okay, it's not enough for you and that female cat to eat my golden apple, and you want to compete with me for my bed!
Knowing that the conspiracy was revealed, Helen gritted her teeth, raised her heart, imitated Medea's expression and tone, showed a sweet smile, and responded.
"No, as a good sister, how can I bear to make you feel wronged? Besides, I had to squeeze in, so let me do the sharing."
"That's okay, I can't wrong you!"
"No grievance, really no grievance!"
The two exchanged words with each other, their faces full of smiles, and they looked at each other sincerely. Their arms that were locked with each other made bruises on each other's wrists because of their excessive "intimacy."
Seeing this, Lorne couldn't help shrinking into the shadows.
It smells so strong of tea that if I drink it tonight, I will definitely not be able to sleep.
And looking at the good sisters gnashing their teeth on the field, Katniss couldn't help but have a trace of suspicion on her face.
"Is your relationship so good?"
"certainly!"
"Must!"
Seeing that Katniss was suspicious, the two of them loosened their stalemate arms and hugged each other affectionately.
Katniss slaps her head and gives the perfect solution.
"That's just right. You guys sleep together, and the guy and I share a room."
"good!"
Lorne quickly raised his hands to express support, his hanging heart finally dropped, and he turned to look at Katniss with a look full of kindness and approval.
Who said the Ares family are all fools? He is so wise and foolish. Look, how smart he is! The core problem is solved in one fell swoop!
When Medea and Helen heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded. They hurriedly let go of each other, pulled away from each other, and coughed dryly to explain.
"Although it's not impossible, I'm not used to sleeping with outsiders."
"Me too…"
"You two have a lot going on."
Katniss complained with a dark face, then waved her hand and made arrangements impatiently.
"Forget it, you guys share a room, this guy and I will squeeze in."
In an instant, question marks popped up on all three heads, and they all looked at the host who provided accommodation in amazement.
"Why are you standing there? If we continue to argue, it will be dawn. If you don't sleep, I will sleep. It's settled!"
After saying that, Katniss didn't wait for the three of them to react, and directly dragged Lorne into the house, then closed the door with a bang and activated the defensive spell.
Immediately afterwards, the clanking sound of armor falling, the rustling sound of clothes sliding, and the creaking and shaking of the bed board came from the dark room.
Medea and Helen stood at the door in a daze, confused by the wind for a moment.
