Chapter 44: Fight, fight, I want to see rivers of blood flowing!
"dinner time!"
Finally, the chef's call, which was like a heavenly voice, made him rush downstairs like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
“I'm here to help!”
Seeing someone running away, Athena could only shake her head and give up for the time being. She had no choice but to go downstairs and rush to the back to help with the cooking.
Her aunt is usually demure and gentle, but once she enters her own exclusive area and picks up a spatula and a spoon, her fighting power and sense of oppression will increase exponentially.
Under the command of the stove goddess, the two adults quickly cleared the table and served the sumptuous dinner.
As the aroma of the food drifted out of the house through the half-opened window, the two little girls wandering on the street were automatically summoned to go home. They sat down obediently against their respective guardians and looked eagerly at the rich dishes on the table.
So far, the Minoans have learned to raise cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and other livestock, learn to grow wheat, barley, vetch, chickpeas, and cultivate a series of crops such as grapes, figs, pomegranates, and olives. The abundant seafood nearby makes their recipes quite wide,
Even Lorne saw artificially produced honey on it. Apparently these Minoans in Crete already knew some tricks about domesticating bees.
“Come on, come on, you're welcome, try my handiwork!”
With that said, Hestia stood up, picked up the spoon and fork, and took the lead in putting some of her favorite dishes on Lorne and little Medusa's plates.
Lorne was immediately flattered to be entertained by the goddess of the hearth in person.
“Don't worry, my aunt likes to have new faces try her self-developed recipes. I have never seen her so enthusiastic when I came to her house before.”
The neglected Athena next to her hummed and spoke, then glanced at Lorne and Little Medusa next to her, smiling and joking.
“But after dinner, I'm afraid you'll have to pester her with some suggestions for improvement, and maybe even have to talk all night long, so I suggest you run away after eating.”
"You girl, you know how to arrange things behind my back. Be careful that next time you come to the house, you will only serve me a bowl of porridge!"
Hestia picked up the spoon and glared at her niece angrily, and everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly.
As the atmosphere at the table eased, the goddess of wisdom decisively forked a piece of golden lamb chop, ate it elegantly and quickly, and took the initiative to start the meal.
Everyone immediately lost their reserve and began to choose meals according to their own preferences, and began to enjoy the meal.
The two little ones are fond of desserts and fruits, while Lorne, who is still growing, prefers meat.
Although I have some doubts about the food level and cooking skills in the world of Gods, when I take a piece of lamb chop, the soft and elastic meat melts at the touch of my teeth, and the rich juice explodes on the tip of my tongue. It's just a pinch of salt that happens to be good. With a little bit of spice, the original flavor derived from the food is not only not fishy at all, but more delicate and rich.
High-end ingredients often only require simple cooking.
Similarly, good mutton does not require cooking with heavy ingredients.
Lorne, who couldn't stop eating, quickly spent seven or eight dollars. The pleasure and satisfaction brought by the meat made his tense heartstrings relax a little.
But it's a pity that there is a little black pepper missing to relieve the tiredness.
Otherwise, the meal was perfect.
Put down your guard and open your belly. After a while, the well-fed people sat lazily on the chairs with satisfied expressions on their faces.
The greatest respect for a chef is to eat everything she cooks.
Looking at the empty cups and plates, Hestia nodded with satisfaction and took the initiative to clean up the messy dining table. She had quite the temperament of a good wife and mother at home.
Of course, that is assuming her current height and immature appearance are ignored.
Perhaps because of her youthful mentality and the divinity of the virgin goddess, this eldest sister of Zeus still looks like a young girl.
But it is undeniable that the nutrients Hestia has absorbed over the years have not been lost in vain, and there are even some supermodels in this large place.
Looking at the two big, white, swaying fruits as Hestia walked, Lorne couldn't help but feel a little blood rising, and his mouth went dry.
Well, since the benefits gained from the power of war have not yet been fully digested, coupled with the strong hormones in adolescence, he will inevitably be more likely to go into heat when he meets some more sinful adult women.
And Hestia is a very suitable candidate to be a wife in Greek mythology.
Whether it's personality or body shape.
As for Athena... Lorne briefly recalled what happened when he first met her, and the difference between the statue and herself. All he could say was.
There is a suspicion of cheating...
ifier
A familiar cough next to his ear made him startle subconsciously. He immediately came back to his senses and sat upright, staring intently at the texture of the wooden surface of the dining table. A thin stream of sweat broke out on the back of his neck.
I actually forgot that I was in front of the two main gods. It seemed that I was still too full.
Fortunately, Athena just raised a topic and did not notice someone's evil eyes or blasphemous thoughts in his mind.
“We just had dinner, why not do something to kill time?”
As the goddess of wisdom spoke, her eyes fell faintly on several fruits of different sizes and weights on the dinner plate, and her thoughts were self-evident.
“It's not suitable for strenuous exercise after a meal, let's play some puzzle games?”
Lon saw this and quickly stopped the topic.
He didn't want to spend all day measuring data and doing scientific research with this goddess of wisdom who had eight hundred eyes.
I have a two -jin, and it 's okay to flicker. I really need to dig a field deeply, and it will expose the stuffing sooner or later.
But it's better to cut off this woman's thoughts in advance, lest he have to be on guard every day.
"Wait me a moment."
As he spoke, Lorne got up and went upstairs, took out the Greek version of chess that he had used to trick Hecate out of his luggage, and placed it in front of Athena.
A puzzle game?
Athena looked at the crisscrossed grids and played with the various chess pieces in her hands. After listening to Lorne explaining the rules with interest, her attention was quickly drawn to this thing.
Very good, I took the bait!
Lorne nodded with satisfaction, and then set up a formation to teach Athena the rules and techniques through practical exercises.
Of course, he used the chess moves and formulas of another old acquaintance, Hecate.
Isn't it getting more and more difficult for me to deal with the goddess of the dark moon on the chessboard? Just let the majestic goddess of wisdom come to confront her from a distance, while I act as the middleman for the review.
After getting rid of two big troubles at once, a sinister smile appeared on Lorne's face.
Let's fight and fight, I want to see rivers of blood flowing!
Time is like quicksand between fingers, passing by unconsciously. The clear sound of falling pieces on the chessboard drowns out the burning fire. In these fierce virtual battles, Athena gradually becomes intoxicated.
And Lorne also came up with a lot of ways to play against Hecate by replicating previous chess games. It can be said that both sides benefited and gained a lot.
It's just…
He raised his eyes and looked out the window at the jade hook that had leapt into the sky, and couldn't help but yawn.
“It's too late, why don't we make an appointment later when we have time?”
“Alright…”
Athena nodded without any hesitation.
After all, she had just come into contact with this interesting game, and she needed to sort out her thoughts and come up with a specific strategy.
Looking at the figure who was pulling her sister up the stairs, Athena twisted the chess piece representing the queen in her hand and played with it between her fingers, her bright purple pupils shining like stars.
What a funny little guy, maybe, I can...
