Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 39

Chapter 39 I admire you very much, be my lackey

"I want this!"

“I want that!”

In front of the stall, the two little ones who couldn't wait excitedly crowded forward and eagerly asked to redeem their favorite prizes, instantly breaking the strange silence between the two adults.

Seeing the two little guys still clinging to the table after getting the things, staring eagerly at the other prizes, Lorne and the silver-haired girl couldn't help but smile at each other, and spoke in tacit understanding.

"So?"

"continue?"

Immediately, the two people who reached a consensus stepped forward. At the signal of the silver-haired girl, Lorne took out the fifth question from the urn.

“It is both the lightest thing on earth and the hardest thing because it can trap powerful humans in one place. What is it?”

The moment the mystery came into view, two voices sounded in unison again.

"-Confuse!"

“—mystery!”

Doubts and mysteries can make strong people fall into hesitation and difficulties, becoming psychological constraints and stopping them from moving forward.

At this moment, the two respondents looked at each other in surprise. After the brief exchange of glances, a strange feeling of sympathy could not help but appear in their eyes.

The game will be more interesting when you meet your opponent.

“Let me do it instead.”

Following this, the silver-haired girl did not show humility and took the initiative to ask the sixth question.

“I do not exist in the past, but will exist forever in the future. All living things place their hope in me. What am I?”

Looking at the mystery presented in front of her, the silver-haired girl was slightly stunned. She had no clue for a while and couldn't help but frown and think.

“—It's 'tomorrow'.”

At this time, a deep groan from behind broke the deadlock, and Lorne, who had his arms folded, showed a light but determined smile.

tomorrow? I see…

The silver-haired girl thought for a moment, and then her brows relaxed.

This is a puzzle from a human perspective.

Only if tomorrow exists, can these weak lives wait and have hope, endure the sufferings of this world and keep moving forward, overcome countless obstacles, and create miracles.

"it's your turn!"

The silver-haired girl threw down the pottery, took a step back, and signaled to Lorne, but this time, her body tensed up, her eyes fixed on the mouth of the bottle, and she obviously felt the pressure.

Lorne nodded and stretched his hand sideways towards the mouth of the urn so that the participants behind him could read the puzzle together at the first time.

Seeing this delicate little movement, the silver-haired girl behind her moved her eyes slightly, showing a hint of admiration.

Soon, the seventh question was taken out and presented to the two of them.

“What is something in ordinary people that decreases every day but never completely disappears?”

breathe? life? wrong…

For a time, Lorne was also caught up in considerations and found it difficult to break the situation.

“—Hope, hope…”

At this moment, a low and sweet whisper also came from behind.

Suddenly, Lorne suddenly understood, and his confusion suddenly disappeared.

That's right, for ordinary people, only hope will be diminished day by day in the process of being constantly eroded by life, but it will never disappear.

Because once hope ceases to exist, even if a person is alive, he is just a meaningless empty shell, and naturally he is no longer an "ordinary person".

It's a bit confusing for the authorities.

Lorne turned his head and looked behind him. The silver-haired girl who was a bystander clearly didn't feel the joy of successfully answering for some reason at this moment. Instead, she stared at the Minoans who were coming and going in the street, with happy smiles on their faces, sipping their cherry blossoms tightly. A silent sigh escaped from between his lips and teeth.

She thought of some past events that had made her unhappy.

But soon, the silver-haired girl recovered from her memories and smiled apologetically at the figure waiting quietly in front of her.

“Sorry, I just got distracted.”

Lorne smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding, and made a "please" gesture.

"For the last question, we can't take all the riddles and prizes, right? We should leave some of the joy to others." "That's right."

The silver-haired girl pursed her lips and smiled, then stepped forward and took out the eighth question as the finale.

With the pitiful eyes of the two little dogs, Lorne chose their favorite food and toys for each of them.

In fact, the outcome of this game is no longer important to him.

Because, what he wanted from the beginning was not a meal after winning or losing, but an opportunity to turn the conflict into friendship with the mysterious silver-haired girl opposite him, so as to eliminate her dislike of him and avoid an unnecessary conflict.

　Now it seems that my goal has been achieved.

So, it's time for this sideshow to end early.

After brushing up the favorability of the two little ones, Lorne consciously stepped forward to observe the questions that the silver-haired girl asked, and assumed a posture of fully participating in the challenge.

However, one minute...two minutes...a full three minutes passed.

The two people in front of the stall looked at the puzzle in front of them and fell into an eerie silence. No one spoke.

When the two little ones saw this, they stood on tiptoes curiously and looked at the mystery on the pottery shards.

“—I cannot be bought, but I can be stolen at a glance. I am worthless to one, but priceless to two. What am I?”

“Is this question difficult?”

The two little guys blinked and looked at the two adults who had just fought in succession in confusion.

“Ahem…”

Lorne and the silver-haired girl coughed slightly at the same time, and a look of embarrassment flashed in their eyes.

The question is not difficult, even to the two of them, it is too simple.

It's just that the answer is…

Finally, after a brief stalemate, the silver-haired girl lost to her strong competitive spirit, turned her head away, coughed lightly and spoke.

"is love…"

Actually, to be more precise, what the title describes should be the [love] between two people.

At this moment, in this situation and atmosphere, the answer is somewhat subtle.

“Oh, it seems I lost.”

To avoid further embarrassment, Lorne spoke up, broke the silence, and asked with a smile.

“So, what do you two want to eat? I'll treat you.”

　　“There's no rush for this…”

When there were steps, the silver-haired girl was not in a hurry to get down. Instead, she looked at Lorne in front of her with interest and spoke leisurely.

“You don't look like someone who makes a living at sea?”

“There is no other way, people always have to eat, just to survive.”

Lorne smiled dryly and explained insincerely. Under the scrutiny of those purple eyes, he felt inexplicably guilty.

At this moment, a stronger smile appeared on the silver-haired girl's face, and she seemed to be prepared to speak.

"Although it's all about making a living, it would be too wasteful to put your talents into the boundless sea. Well, why don't I introduce you to serve in the temple. In this way, you will not only have endless snacks, but also a lot of money. Fee's reward.”

Taking care of food and housing? Still have money to get?

Little Medusa's eyes lit up as she thought of the wonderful taste of the temple snacks that lingered between her lips and teeth.

However, before the head that was about to move had time to poke out, it was pushed back by one.

“Thank you for your kindness.”

Lorne kept a polite smile on his face and declined politely.

"Although the food, clothing and rewards of the temple can fill my physical emptiness, it cannot solve my spiritual difficulties. I prefer a wider world than being bound in this small grid."

Enter the temple? Are you kidding me?

The Minoans themselves were not safe. If they followed them, they might be easily taken care of by the potential gods one day.

Since the ship was destined to sink, how could he jump into the fire without thinking?
