Chapter 40 Are you sweating profusely? Brother
“Are you saying that even the gods can't answer the questions you face?”
At this moment, the silver-haired girl's eyes narrowed slightly, with a more intense look in her eyes, and she was not satisfied with the so-called refusal.
She rarely invites people and rarely suffers rejection.
"certainly!"
Lorne nodded and answered without hesitation.
The silver-haired girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, pursed her lips and sneered, "Oh? Why don't you tell me your problem, so that I can know what it is that makes the gods helpless..."
Facing such relentless pursuit, Lorne reluctantly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
“It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm curious about the world.
I would like to know why when a sailing ship comes from afar on the sea, we always see the mast first and then the hull?
Why do apples fall to the ground instead of flying into the air?
Why do things of different weights always land together when dropped from the same height? "
A series of wild questions popped into her mind, and the confidence and pride on the silver-haired girl's face froze involuntarily.
Why is it that when a sailing ship comes from afar on the sea, we always see the mast first and then the hull?
Why do apples fall to the ground instead of flying into the air?
Why do things of different weights always land together when dropped from the same height?
Yeah, why...
These things that are commonplace now have a reason added to them, which makes the silver-haired girl who has never thought about it from this perspective feel a little confused.
Shouldn't the rules of the world be determined from the beginning?
Furthermore, if things of different weights are dropped from the same height, shouldn't the heavier one hit the ground first? Why did they land at the same time? What's the point?
At this moment, the silver-haired girl not only failed to solve the first three questions, but also fell into more thinking. As she thought more deeply, her mind became more and more confused.
Finally, after thinking hard for half an hour, the silver-haired girl raised her head slumped, feeling helpless and confused.
“Well, I really can't figure it out yet, but what's the use of knowing this?”
“For people, [the world] is also a mystery!”
Lorne looked up at the sky, looked down at the earth, and finally stared ahead, his eyes far and deep.
“If we can explore the essence and seek its truth, and then understand life and touch concepts, then perhaps we can finally solve all the problems, realize the soul, and recreate immortality.”
Looking at the man talking in front of him and listening to the grand idea, the silver-haired girl's beautiful face was shocked at first, and then she came back to her senses, her eyebrows gradually gathered together, and she snorted leisurely.
"Immortal? How arrogant! Do you want to challenge the gods?"
“No, no, I can't afford this.”
Lorne smiled and waved his hands, seemingly carelessly, but also seemed to be thinking meaningfully.
“I just feel that the [creation] brought by the gods is only the starting point of mankind, and should not be the end of mankind.
As created beings, isn't it true that the better we are, the more we can prove the greatness of the gods? "
—The better humans perform, the more the gods prove their greatness?
When the silver-haired girl heard this, she didn't know what she thought of, and she suddenly burst into laughter.
“Your argument is really impeccable.”
“You're being ridiculous, I'm just stating the facts.”
Lorne blinked, looking innocent.
“Forget it, since you don't want to, I won't force it.”
The silver-haired girl rolled her eyes at the guy opposite her, took the initiative to extend her right hand forward, and hummed softly.
“Tritocleia, my name is…”
In an instant, Lorne's eyelids twitched.
The extremely sharp silver-haired girl raised her eyebrows and narrowed her purple eyes again.
"you know me?"
“No, I just think this name is very beautiful and unique...”
Under the girl's faint scrutiny, Lorne raised his hands helplessly and confessed in embarrassment.
“Well, okay, I admit that the name is a bit long and difficult to remember.”
“Oh, that's right, then you can call me Pallas.”
The silver-haired girl nodded slightly, glanced at someone opposite, and added calmly.
"Okay, Miss Pallas..." Lorne readily agreed and breathed a sigh of relief, as if he felt relieved that he had solved the problem of remembering names.
However, the little Medusa who was being led felt something slippery and sticky from the palm of that hand.
At this time, after hearing those two names one after another, Lorne was actually sweating profusely.
【Tritoglea】means "the third-born child of Zeus after Artemis and Apollo." This title may be relatively rare, making it difficult to guess the true identity of the silver-haired girl opposite.
But the three words "Palas" appear much more frequently in Greek mythology.
Because it is the alias of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
That's right, standing in front of Lorne now is the real owner of those tributes, the goddess of wisdom and war—Palas Athena!
That is, in the legend, he is his half-sister with an incredible fighting prowess.
Although, Lorne realized that the identity of the girl in front of him was not simple. She was probably a demigod or **** walking in the world.
But as soon as he left the opponent's temple, stole the opponent's tribute, and arranged for the opponent nearby, he directly ran into Athena as the main owner. This probability is probably even more ridiculous than a meteorite hitting his head!
Fortunately, as Hecate said, the [Dice of Chance] that resides in his body, while prompting him to challenge destiny and confront the gods, will also provide him with hidden buffs, making the gods unable to See his true nature.
Otherwise, this goddess known for her wisdom might have discovered his identity as the son of Zeus at the first opportunity.
“Ahem, it's getting late, how about we eat first?”
Lorne calmed down and made friendly suggestions to Athena opposite, but he was secretly making calculations in his heart.
Hurry up and finish the treat, run away with Medusa immediately, and get as far away from this King Minos city as possible.
After all, the goddess in front of me is too dangerous.
The slight negligence just now may have made her discover some clues. If she continues to stay, sooner or later she will find out.
However, before Lorne could figure out where to find the most time-saving fast food, Athena across from him chuckled and shook her head.
“Of course I'm the one who wants to treat you.”
"ah?"
“Although I solved one more puzzle than you, I don't have the answers to your last three questions, so I lost.”
Athena explained casually, and then pointed to a residence at the end of the road.
“It just so happens that I'm going to meet a friend. She should have prepared a meal. Let's go together.”
Hearing this, Lorne could not help but feel the cold sweat on his back.
The person who can be friends with Athena, just think about it and know that he is probably a god.
Moreover, it is very likely that it is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus.
Although the dice allowed him to keep his identity secret, Lorne felt a lot of pressure facing two decent gods at once.
So, this dinner party can be promoted as long as possible.
“Ahem, it would be too rude to bother your friend like this, why don't you forget it?”
Lorne was smiling and wanted to politely refuse.
“Next time! I'll treat you next time!”
“You're not happy?”
Athena squinted her eyes and smiled, then her expression suddenly changed.
“Well, the bet is void, guards, where are the guards? There is someone here…”
“Stop, stop, stop! I'm going, I'm going! As long as you don't mind it, isn't it okay for me to go?”
Lorne, who was being pinched, was suddenly sweating profusely. He quickly held down Athena's raised arm and agreed to the meal in humiliation.
“This is the right thing…”
Seeing the slippery guy in front of her obediently surrender in her hands, Athena had a satisfied smile on her face and raised her hand forward in a gesture of invitation.
“Then, let's go, friend…”
At the moment, extending one's head is a sword, and shrinking one's head is also a sword.
Lorne simply abandoned his distracting thoughts, pulled Little Medusa in his arms, and strode towards the house in front of him.
