Chapter 58: Bare Athena?
Here comes the fatal one!
The three golden oracles on the bronze altar loomed in his mind, and Lorne felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
As mentioned before, the golden oracle corresponds to a difficult course beyond his current ability, and the process is extremely dangerous.
As the major events of version 1.0, [Battle of the Cyclops] and [Chasing of Oceanus] almost gave him a narrow escape. In the end, he took advantage of the special environment of the invisible island to divert trouble and fish in troubled waters. Only then did he successfully deceive the Atlantis Guards who were chasing him for most of the Oceanus Sea.
Otherwise, the grass on your grave may be as high as ten feet tall.
And now, the 2.0 version has not officially begun, but it has directly attracted the twelve main gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war, and Poseidon, the sea god, who are at the forefront of the battle. If you think about it, you know the trouble and danger this time. , I'm afraid it's worse than last time.
in addition…
What did I do that caused the Minoan crisis? Don't make false accusations against good people!
Athena and Poseidon fight, Atlanteans and Minoans fight each other, what does it have to do with me?
Having been inexplicably accused of being blamed on his head, Lorne was a little depressed and quickly tried to clarify himself in his mind.
However, when he thought about what he did on the Sea of Oceanus and the changes he brought about in the city of Knossos, he couldn't help but feel guilty and dumb.
Well, maybe it has a little bit to do with it.
A little bit…
Lorne tried his best to distance himself from the title of a Greek villain and a troublemaker of the gods, but the bright golden oracle in his mind undoubtedly told him that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Even if he is not the culprit, he is most likely the trigger.
After such a long period of running in, coupled with the vague speculation in his heart, Lorne also roughly understood how to refresh and run the version of the Golden Oracle.
The answer is simple.
While completing the daily and weekly tasks, you will inevitably introduce the "accident" contained in the "dice" into the "inevitability" of the "destiny", and the two sides will collide, causing varying degrees of deviation.
Once this kind of distortion that does not conform to the "fixed number" rises to a certain level, it will inevitably lead to a rebound from "fate", which will trigger a series of crises in order to eliminate his "variable".
This is probably the so-called cause of [Version Event].
So, it seems that I can't escape the current trouble.
As for how to choose…
Lorne's mind was spinning with thoughts, and his consciousness was considering the first and second items back and forth.
There is no doubt that choosing to side with Poseidon and the powerful Atlantis is undoubtedly a simple mode. You can even win by just sitting back and watching the development of the situation.
But according to the consistent virtue of that dice, the simpler it appears on the surface, the more dangerous it is in fact.
Even if you are not bound by a sense of morality, you will not consider emotional factors. You will follow Poseidon all the way to the dark side, successfully destroy the Minoan civilization, and obtain part of Athena's divine power.
But what happens next?
Poseidon, who had his hands free, would kill him if he could not do it.
At that time, there will be no wall like Athena to protect him from the wind.
So, only by choosing the first option and resolutely teaming up with this dear old sister, may you have a chance to have a happy ending.
As for the third path given by the dice, Lorne simply chose to ignore it.
The malice in the words almost overflowed the altar.
Let him, a demigod, directly choose the two main gods Athena and Poseidon?
Even if he had a twitch, it would not be such a way to commit suicide.
His thoughts were changing in a flash, and in just a moment, he made up his mind, took a deep breath, and looked helplessly at Athena, whose face was getting worse and worse.
“Whatever can be done, I will try my best...”
Lorne paused, then looked back at the little Medusa and Hestia running around the camp, as well as the city of Knossos in the distance that was gradually being obscured by the cold mist and night. His deep eyes rarely showed some truth. Emotions.
“After all, I have just gotten used to living in a place where I have no plans to move yet.”
Hearing this, Athena's gloomy face disappeared and she couldn't help but smile. “Once this matter is settled, you can stay here as long as you want.”
In response to Lorne's non-committal response, the goddess of wisdom became more and more relieved.
Those words that are too full are often just perfunctory.
The more cautious a promise is, the more it proves that he is seriously considering the matter.
After a moment of silence, Lorne looked at Athena and asked a question in his mind.
"Why me? There should be people stronger than me in the whole island of Crete, such as...that King Minos?"
As the future head of the three judges of Hades, the son of God King Zeus and Goddess Europa, that elder brother by blood is not said to be powerful, but he is definitely a master who can resist.
“Strength and weakness are not limited to the level of force, but also include the level of wisdom.”
Athena spoke calmly, looking at the vast night with a deep gaze, revealing a keen sense of insight.
"Compared to the former, I believe in the power of the latter. And you, in my opinion, have the qualifications to change the overall situation."
Lorne nodded noncommittally, looked side by side at the dark Ocean of Oceanus with Athena, and spoke quietly.
“In other words, Crete is at an absolute power disadvantage in this contest. If you want to survive the crisis safely, you can only rely on your brain, right?”
As he spoke, Lorne raised his hand to touch his forehead and turned to look at Athena beside him.
“I feel a little regretful now, can I quit?”
The enigmatic smile on Athena's face couldn't help but stiffen. Her silver teeth were secretly grinding, and the pink fist in her sleeve felt like she wanted to hit someone.
Well, she likes smart people, but not people who are too smart.
“War authority!”
Athena glanced at a certain little **** with bad intentions and snorted coldly.
"As long as you can protect the entire island of Crete, I will let you see the real power of war and help you become a god!"
"make a deal!"
Suddenly, Lorne swept away the embarrassment and entanglement on his face, and high-fived the goddess of wisdom with a cheerful smile.
That smooth transformation made Athena's face darker.
“I have something else to do, I have to go see King Minos!”
The goddess of wisdom said a word firmly, turned to greet Niki outside, transformed into a stream of light, and disappeared into the thick night.
“It's good to go, goddess.”
Lorne in the forest waved goodbye with a warm smile on his face.
After all, if you are lucky enough to save Crete this time, you will not only be able to use Athena's hand to pick up the wool of Ares, the **** of war who is compatible with his bloodline, but you will also be able to get a promise from the goddess of wisdom. Plus the golden oracle reward of Poseidon's baptism of divine power, you can eat three fish and make a lot of money!
Moreover, this seems to be a new idea.
Who stipulates that he can only follow the unlucky dice to earn a living? As long as the contradictions between the twelve main gods are intensified, and oneself takes the throne, recruits one group to fight another group, and muddies the water, won't both sides get the best of it?
When the time comes, whoever's gold coins you want to explode, you can explode!
The more Lorne thought about it, the more feasible it became, and he couldn't help but feel better.
However, just as he was about to walk out of the remote forest, he suddenly remembered a question.
Wait a moment, if you want me to help you to help defend Crete from a major disaster, you have to give me a certificate, right?
Lorne looked at his empty hands, then at the lights and shadows that had long since disappeared in the night sky, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Looks like it's a bit too tight.
