Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 66

Chapter 66 You dare to say it, I dare to believe it

Early the next morning, a rustling sound downstairs woke Lorne from his sleep.

“Athena's **** are padded!”

As soon as he opened his eyes, he first habitually offered "praise" to a certain main **** in daily books, and then he got up and went downstairs feeling relaxed and relaxed.

At this time, in the living room.

Hestia, who woke up early, and little Medusa, who had stayed up all night, were gathered at the dining table, immersed in tasting a box of exquisite snacks in front of each other.

"you're awake?"

The Hearth Goddess, who was the first to hear the noise, turned to look at Lorne who was coming down the stairs. While waving hello, she rolled her pink tongue to scrape away a few remaining snack crumbs from the corners of her mouth.

Obviously, she liked the taste of this food very much.

Lorne glanced at the snake pattern on the snacks, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

“The temple's tribute? Where did it come from?”

“The goddess asked me to send it here before she left.”

There was a pleasant chant from outside the door. A girl with a quiet and elegant temperament, wearing a plain white dress and a gold snake pattern bracelet on her wrist, with a beautiful oval face and long flaxen hair shawl, stood respectfully at the door. A gentle apology appeared in his bright eyes.

“Recently, the island of Crete has been in a state of turmoil, and the temple has been troubled by various things. I am sorry for not being able to visit in time.”

three people? Two gifts?

Lorne looked at the two mostly empty boxes on the table, as well as Hestia and Little Medusa who were working hard, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Two peaches kill three people, right?

You are so naughty, sister, that you still don't forget to give me eye drops at this time.

Seeing a subtle change in the expression on someone's face, the bright-eyed girl outside the door quickly bowed and spoke.

"This visit is too hasty. In order to thank you for your warning yesterday, my father has prepared a banquet and would like to invite some of you to the palace."

Immediately, the girl paused, looked at Lorne, who was the main invitee, smiled, and changed the subject.

“To express my gratitude, my father would like to present you with a small gift in person during the banquet.”

So, my door-to-door gift is saved, right?

Alas, this is really dripping, not only covering up Athena's prank, but also to the be careful goddess, but also on the premise that the goddess's will, the royal family attaches great importance to his foreigners.

It seems that King Minos raised a good daughter.

Lorne glanced playfully at the beautiful and intelligent princess outside the door, with a hint of approval and curiosity in her eyes.

“Excuse me, which princess of King Minos are you?”

“I am my father's second daughter, Ariadne, and I am currently in charge of the affairs of the temple. Your Excellency…”

The bright-eyed girl nodded slightly and saluted, and took the initiative to lower her body, without any airs of a princess.

Hearing this name, Lorne's face couldn't help but undergo some subtle changes, and the look he looked at Princess Ariadne from the corner of his eyes was a little weird.

Ariadne? Isn't this one of the mortal lovers that Dionysus, the **** of wine, will hook up with in the future?

Feeling that the eyes from the other side falling on her seemed to have changed, Ariadne couldn't help but raise her head and asked cautiously.

"grown ups?"

“Oh, sorry, I just got distracted.”

Lorne came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, and his eyes became clear again.

He is he, and Dionysus is Dionysus.

　From the moment I was born, everything, whether it was my future or my destiny, was completely different.

Sensing that the atmosphere had relaxed, Princess Ariadne spoke tentatively again.

“What do you think about it?”

“I have no problem…”

Lorne nodded indifferently, and then looked at the two figures in the living room, one large and one small, happily eating alone.

“But at least wait until they finish eating.”

"No need to wait, we're coming right now!" Hearing this, Hestia stood up in a hurry, pulled little Anna who was still stuffing snacks into her mouth, and walked out of the door quickly, looking impatient.

Compared with this little appetizer, of course the palace meal is more valuable.

Having lived in the city of Knossos for so long, she has long wanted to try the skills of a palace cook.

Watching the princess, who held the position of chief priestess, go to summon the carriages and horses prepared by the temple, Hestia, who was standing behind, sneakily poked Lorne's lower back and whispered in amazement.

"It's really yours! I guessed it right again this time! The first wave of beasts had just been repelled on the coastline, and before it was fully light, this daughter of King Minos ran to our door and wanted to invite us to dinner. !”

“It's not guessing, it's thinking, thinking…”

Lorne weakly corrected him. However, after last night's blow, Hestia, who had already recognized the facts, had already chosen to give up, and instead left this hard and tiring work to the external brain in front of her. .

“Go, go, go, think, think. When we get to the dinner table, I only eat and don't talk.”

Hearing the hearth goddess's unsatisfactory answer, Lorne rolled his eyes and comforted himself helplessly.

Forget it, it's your choice anyway.

If you were too smart, you might not be able to block the gun with her.

Soon, a carriage with bronze snake patterns and bird wing carvings, and a low-key and luxurious carriage came to the door, picked up the three of them, and drove away towards the palace of Knossos.

Due to the superposition of various protective runes, the carriage was not only comfortable, but also fast. It only took a quarter of an hour to reach the destination.

As the vehicle came to a stop, the accompanying head priestess opened the curtain and led the three people out of the car.

“Please come with me, my father is waiting for you.”

The three of them nodded and followed Her Royal Highness the Princess. After several twists and turns in the huge palace, they finally arrived at a relatively secluded courtyard.

In the empty courtyard, a sluggish old man was sitting alone in front of the stone table. His body was stooped and his eyes seemed to be closed. His face with crisscrossed grooves showed a strong sense of exhaustion and age.

And as the three of them crossed the threshold, the old man in front of the stone table suddenly opened his eyes, the light in his eyes skyrocketed, and a fierce aura swept over him, like a lion waking up from its sleep, showing its instinct to the prey that broke into its territory. Minions.

“Father…”

Princess Ariadne, who couldn't bear it at first, turned slightly pale, her upper and lower teeth chattered, and she quickly called out in a low voice.

Although with her excellent talent and bloodline, and under the protection of the goddess Athena, the chief priestess was successfully promoted to a demigod.

But compared with the three unknown people behind him, there is obviously a big gap.

After all, one of them is the descendant of Zeus, the future **** of wine.

One is the Gorgon who has absorbed the divinity of the old sea **** Pontos, a powerful monster known as the hero killer.

The last one is the sister of Zeus, one of the twelve main gods.

"Ariadne? Are you here? Sorry..."

King Minos recovered from his stress. His extremely oppressive momentum disappeared without a trace like the fading tide, and he quickly stood up to greet him.

Needless to say, Princess Ariadne, who has always been very discerning, helped her old father to invite the distinguished guests to their seats, and at the same time conveyed the news of preparing dishes and snacks to the people below.

As his daughter was busy, King Minos began to take a serious look at the man in front of him.

Similarly, Lorne did not dodge, but also carefully looked at this wise king who had mixed reputations and was burdened with too many mysteries and stains.

After a brief look at each other, King Minos was the first to squeeze out a smile and picked up a cup filled with fruit juice to express his gratitude.

"You must be the wise man that the goddess mentioned. Thank you for your reminder of what happened last night."

“I just mentioned it casually. If you don't believe it, it's useless no matter how much I say.”

Lorne smiled slightly and picked up the pottery cup.

"What's more, you can distinguish the truth from the false in words, and take countermeasures in advance to prepare for the crisis. Crete can easily win this first game, and you, the wise king who controls the overall situation, take the greatest credit. "

One dares to say it, and the other dares to believe it.

The old man and the young man who successfully met at the table looked at each other, clinked glasses and drank in unison, showing tacit smiles.
