Chapter 36: I can deceive ten people like Medusa in one breath!
Seeing this situation, Lorne couldn't help laughing. He picked up the little Medusa next to him and went to a nearby stall to ask.
“Excuse me, how much does this cost?”
“Three Coppers of Athena.”
"what about this?"
“It's more expensive, five pieces.”
Soon, Lorne had a bunch of local specialty snacks on his hands.
“Come on, have a taste.”
Seeing the strings of delicious food in front of her, Medusa swallowed unconsciously, but seemed to hesitate a little in order to maintain her usual aloofness.
Lorne slowly raised his arm with a smirk on his face.
“Oh, you don't want to eat? Then I will eat them all.”
“Who said I don't want to eat!”
Seeing that the fragrant food was about to grow wings and fly away, little Medusa could no longer resist the temptation. She held down Lorne's arm, took away her portion without politeness, and chewed it .
As different flavors hit the taste buds, bringing about pleasant enjoyment, the last bit of embarrassment and reserve in the little girl disappeared, and she concentrated on dealing with the large number of snacks in her hand.
Lorne shook his head and chuckled, then stuffed a bunch of roasted bird eggs into his mouth to taste. At the same time, he pulled the little Medusa beside him and walked in the bustling city to ask for the price of the goods in his hand.
After several rounds of inquiries and investigations, he finally chose a shop with a relatively reasonable price to sell the goods.
Total income: 14 silver pieces of Hera, 107 copper pieces of Athena.
And while he and Medusa were walking and eating, they consumed about a quarter of their income.
I have to say that as the royal city of Crete, prices here are still not cheap.
Of course, there are many valuable things on the hidden ship, such as temple tablets, Poseidon sacrificial vessels, occult materials, etc.
These are the thief's carefully selected private collections, and they will definitely make a fortune if they are taken out.
It's just that those goods are too conspicuous and can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
Secondly, relying on the gold coins exploded by the twelve main gods every day, he is actually not very short of money. At worst, he will curse a few more blasphemous words when he has no money in the future. There is really no need to take this risk.
Throwing today's harvest into his pocket, Lorne showed a kind smile on his face and chatted with the old man in front of the counter.
“Boss, what are the temples in the city and how to get there? I want to offer sacrifices to the gods and pray for a smooth journey ahead.”
“Young man, are you a foreigner? It may be a bit difficult to find a temple in the city of Knossos.”
The old man held up the wrinkles etched by time on his face and smiled helplessly.
“For some unknown reason, the current King Minos doesn't seem to like the gods very much. He rarely participates in sacrifices and does not repair temples, so many places are abandoned.”
After listening to the old man's narration, Lorne nodded thoughtfully.
The reason, he can probably guess.
90 out of 10, it's the tauren's pot.
Under the teasing of the gods, my wife was given away by a beast and gave birth to a hybrid monster. This kind of shame and humiliation is basically impossible for a man to just ignore it, let alone the king of Crete. Minos.
He could bear it if he didn't kill the minotaur monster in the labyrinth, the Minotaur, and sacrifice it to heaven, or violently bulldoze all the temples.
How is it possible to worship the gods as we once did?
But this time, I'm having a bit of a hard time.
Lorne raised his hand and rubbed his chin, frowning slightly.
The cool-down period of [Zhou Changben] is coming soon, and he must take the initiative to give life to the twelve main gods in order not to be forced to commit suicide by the cheating dice on his body.
Now, there's trouble.
“However, if you really want to worship God, there is a place to go.”
With the second half of the old man's slow words, Lorne, who was thinking about it, couldn't help but come back to his senses and his eyes lit up. "where?"
“There is a palace of the goddess on the hill in the northwest corner of Knossos.”
"who?"
“The female ruler Athena.”
Lorne was slightly startled when he heard that title, and then the historical data that came to his mind made him react.
Legend has it that strong goddess worship was prevalent in the Minoan civilization, and the most revered among them, with the highest status, was Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war.
They honored her as "πτνία", which means lady, queen, and female lord. The corresponding records appeared on subsequent Mycenaean tablets.
Of course, Athena definitely deserves this honor.
Because in the process of creating humans, Prometheus only gave humans bodies, while Athena gave humans souls.
In a sense, she is indeed the "female master" of the human race.
It's just that Lorne originally just wanted to turn over Hermes' cards and mess with the ancestor of the Greek thieves.
Taking Medusa to apply eye drops to Athena was really not an option he considered.
But right now, apart from this, there seems to be no better choice.
“Foreigners, may the goddess protect you on your journey.”
The old man raised his hand to touch his chest, nodded and offered his blessing.
After Lorne simply thanked her, he took little Medusa out of the shop door and looked towards the pillared temple in the northwest.
It's just a courtesy. This guy shouldn't be so stingy, right?
He muttered to himself for a while, then looked down at Medusa, who was still working **** the snacks, with a kind smile on her face.
“Come with me for a walk over there?”
“I don't like them.”
Medusa shook her head, her eyes full of resistance.
In the Greek world of the Age of Gods, gods and monsters are often the labor tools of the gods, as well as a large number of exclusive achievement and upgrade experience packages for demigod heroes.
Although the three sisters escaped from slavery, they still could not escape the pursuit from the outside world.
Hence, Medusa naturally had no good impressions of the gods who were behind all this.
Lorne blinked and Yoyo spoke.
“I heard that the market there is more prosperous than that in the east, and there is much more food.”
Medusa's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was obviously moved.
“There is also something to drink. A glass of ice-cold grape juice and pomegranate juice would not be too comfortable in this weather.”
"I go!"
Suddenly, the greedy Gorgon who was seduced no longer hesitated, and quickly raised her little hand, with a look of eagerness on her face.
Even before Lorne could move, the little Medusa next to him decisively pulled him up, walked towards the northwest corner, and took the initiative to trap him.
Lorne, who was being dragged and dragged, was hanging behind him and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Tsk, this girl is too easy to fool, isn't she? I can cheat ten in one go!
Immediately, Lorne raised the corners of his lips, and an evil arc was outlined on his face.
How can this be done? Taking this opportunity, we must let her know the dangers of the human heart and what true "cruelty" means!
The Minoan civilization should be the earliest civilization in Greece.
Athena seems to be the most worshiped goddess in Crete, but later cultural changes and integration reduced her to the daughter of Zeus.
So, I don't need to tell you who's going to be next?
