Chapter 80 Actors please take your place
On the red sea, the remaining warships slowly docked.
Before the ship could stop, a tall figure rushed towards the port and eagerly greeted it.
“Grandpa, you are finally back!”
King Minos walked down from the cabin, ignored the courtesy, and looked at his grandson with a smile on his face.
“Why, you look disappointed?”
For a moment, Orion's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, the expression on his face became somewhat frozen, and the atmosphere became cold.
But soon, the young hero scratched his head and showed his trademark honest smile.
"How could it be! It's too late for me to be happy to see that you are fine. My mother and father asked me to come over to visit you just because they were concerned about you. Fortunately, I came in time!"
That answer is both a defense and a show of merit.
Seeing the depression and embarrassment on the grandson's face, King Minos suddenly felt relieved.
If I remember correctly, the beasts on the sea should be the subjects of Poseidon.
"Forget it, you don't need to worry about the adult's affairs as a child. Let's go, help me back to the palace first, and tell me about your mother's current situation."
Just as he was about to say a few more words, a sword hilt touched his lower back.
Thinking of the warnings of the people behind him before landing, the old man had no choice but to give up the idea with regret. He suppressed his nausea, squeezed out a trace of elder's generosity from his face, and took the initiative to hold Orion's hand.
"That's a coincidence. If it had been later, we might have solved that thing."
Of course, it is also possible that the reputation of his father-god is too bad in the offshore area, and he was accidentally caught by the other party.
Perception of the suddenly cold atmosphere on the field, the muscles on Orion's face visibly trembled a bit, and it was difficult to maintain his honest and pure expression, and he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.
“When the time comes, if your father blames me for the deaths and injuries of the Ocean Familia, then we Minoans will not be able to face the accountability of Lord Poseidon.”
Orion was annoyed, frowning and thinking about how to resolve these hidden sarcasm.
Hearing the relaxed tone of King Minos, Orion, who didn't know how to resolve the embarrassment, quickly descended the steps smoothly, picked up the arm that was offered to him, and diligently led his grandfather to the palace.
He is the son of Poseidon!
Poseidon?
King Minos showed no appreciation. He looked at his grandson with a pair of golden eyes and spoke meaningfully again.
If I had known earlier, I would have just mentioned my mother.
Along the way, Orion occasionally told some interesting stories about his mother's family life and his own journey, trying to build up the relationship between his grandparents and his grandchildren. King Minos also responded and tried to show off some of his emotions. close.
Lorne, who was in the Divine Blood Guards, felt a bit of toothache when he looked at the grandparents and grandsons "nuclear tomb" in front of others.
For a moment, the faces of the onlookers who heard the implication changed slightly, and they looked at this "hero" with a little more scrutiny and suspicion.
It's just that the smile on that old face was a catastrophic accident.
“Ah, okay, grandpa, I'll help you!”
Isn't this old guy straight-tempered? When did you become so eloquent?
But when he thought about himself, he felt a little relieved.
Well, who said this is a family tradition in Greece?
Knossos city, royal palace.
As the idle attendants who were waved away closed the doors and windows and left the scene one after another, King Minos, who had been holding back all the way, was too lazy to continue the performance. He looked at his grandson coldly and asked straight to the point.
“Tell me, why did you come to me?”
“Of course it's because my mother is worried about her family, so she asked me to make a special trip to see you.”
Orion answered honestly, then straightened his back, looked at the old figure on the throne who needed help even when sitting, and smiled frivolously.
"It seems that you are indeed old. If I hadn't arrived in time this time, you might have made your mother sad."
“Discourteous…!”
When Princess Ariadne, who was accompanying the throne, heard this, she immediately raised her head and glared at her nominal nephew.
Perhaps it was the curse of the god-king family. Although King Minos, with the blood of Zeus flowing in his body, had five sons and five daughters, the only one who could be truly considered considerate was Princess Ariadne.
Her brothers coveted the throne; her sisters were more rebellious than the last.
First, his eldest sister had an affair with the male **** Apollo and broke up with her father.
Then his third sister Euryale went too far and actually hooked up with the sea **** Poseidon and gave birth to a demigod son named "Orion".
If it's the former, there may be room for relaxation between father and daughter.
But the latter was an unforgivable betrayal to King Minos, no less than a stab in the chest.
Probably also aware of the consequences of doing so, the sister who ran for "love" has never returned to Crete since the incident.
It was her and Poseidon's son who had been here several times.
But the purpose is to persuade Crete to surrender to Atlantis. Moreover, every time he visited, this nephew always stared at her intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were greedy and hot, which made Princess Ariadne dislike those eyes very much.
At this time, after hearing Princess Ariadne's scolding, Orion smiled indifferently, with an innocent look on his face.
“Aunt, don't be angry, I am doing this for the sake of my grandfather's health.”
Immediately, he changed the topic, looked at King Minos who was looking very old on the throne, and spoke seriously.
"Grandfather, the demon is just injured and is probably still wandering in the open sea, and your body is really not suitable to continue to support it. For the sake of Crete, it is better to let your children and grandchildren do the work for you."
“So?” King Minos asked expressionlessly.
"As long as you nod your head, I will risk my life to protect the island of Crete for you, and from now on I will ensure that the Minoans will never be invaded by a tide of beasts again!"
Orion raised his right fist and beat it on his chest, vowing to do so.
I see…
At this time, Lorne, who was standing quietly in the darkness, looked at the good grandson of Minos who volunteered, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
This guy is indeed not here to help, but is here to usurp the throne.
Furthermore, from the outbreak of this beast tide to the appearance of Orion himself, I am afraid that everything was planned in advance by the sea god.
The purpose is simple.
Poseidon did not intend to destroy the entire island of Crete. What he wanted was the surrender of the Minoans and the belief of the new humanity.
The biggest obstacle is undoubtedly King Minos, who has accumulated huge prestige and is still alive.
Therefore, he used the excuse to launch a beast tide. On the one hand, he wanted to frighten the Minoans and weaken the resistance of Crete. On the other hand, he wanted to force King Minos to die and severely injure or kill this stubborn man. old enemy.
Then, if everything goes as planned in the script, when Crete is leaderless, it will be the hero's turn.
That's right, it's Orion, the son of Poseidon who has both Minoan and Poseidon ancestry!
Once he was in full public view, he turned the tide, defeated Ceto, and saved the entire island of Crete.
Then, Orion will be supported by all the Minoans and accumulate great prestige.
And then, with the glory of victory, he can naturally force the palace to take the throne.
By then, King Minos was old and seriously injured, and several princes lacked the ability to take charge of their own affairs. It was almost certain that the throne of Crete would change hands.
When Orion, the son of Poseidon, succeeds in taking over and clears up the discordant voices within, Crete will naturally gradually rebuild its belief in Poseidon and become a vassal of Atlantis.
However, a sudden accident caused this perfect plan to be aborted.
The Minoans not only blocked the attack of the beast tide, but even nearly severely damaged Ceto, the mother of all monsters, who appeared as insurance, achieving a highlight that belonged to the old king.
In desperation, Orion, who had been waiting nearby for an opportunity, saw that the momentum on the sea was vaguely wrong, so he had no choice but to take action in advance.
No wonder…
I asked how this guy showed up so promptly. It turns out he was always nearby.
Lorne figured out the key and re-examined this son of Poseidon who seemed honest and honest but was actually treacherous. He couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
I have to say that King Minos was still a little behind in raising his sons.
At this time, Orion in the audience was too lazy to continue pretending, and started to climb the steps, carrying out the excellent Greek family tradition.
“Grandpa, what do you think? I am doing this all for your sake...”
“You want me to abdicate? You are not qualified yet! Get out!”
Hearing this unabashed ambition and purpose, King Minos on the throne raised his head and shouted loudly, waves of residual power surging in his old body.
However, feeling the fire of life swaying in the remains of the body, the contempt on Orion's face became even stronger.
"Grandpa, it seems that your old body can no longer withstand the torment. I advise you to take care of yourself and leave the things that need to be taken care of to your children and grandchildren. This will be good for everyone."
"you shut up!"
Seeing that her old father was so angry that his chest was heaving, Princess Ariadne couldn't bear it and scolded her angrily.
However, not only did this fail to make Orion feel any regret, but it made the nephew even more exposed to his unbearable nature.
"Auntie, don't be impatient. When I ascend the throne, I will definitely marry you first."
Orion looked at the beautiful priestess in front of him, his greedy and hot eyes falling on the plump figure.
“As long as you are honest and obedient, when the time comes, you will still be the chief priest of the Minoans, and our blood will become the new king of Crete…”
As he said that, facing the elder he had always coveted, Orion couldn't help but reach out to grab that white wrist, so as to enjoy some frivolous and taboo pleasure in advance.
Although he was a little impatient, I had the impression that except for the waning old man on the throne, no one in the entire Crete could pose a threat to him.
So, why not sleep in the palace tonight?
"boom!"
A dull loud noise not only interrupted his lust, but also broke the bridge of his nose.
