Chapter 24 I Want to Be Athena's Favorite

"Are you going to act as a mediator to resolve the conflict between me and Odysseus?"

After hearing what King Alcinous said, Luo Yin sneered and mocked.

"King of the Phaeacians! I am a powerful prince with fifty ships, not a king of a small city-state like Odysseus with only one ship. I will not waste my precious time on you people, if If you want to hinder me, I will kill you as an enemy."

After saying that, Luo Yin walked towards Odysseus.

Seeing Luo Yin approaching him like a god of death, Odysseus said while retreating in horror.

"Neoptolemus, why do you have to kill me? If you resent me because I got Achilles' divine armor, when you came to the Trojan coast, I said you would kill Achilles." Leus' divine armor is returned to you. If you resent me because of the death of Ajax, then you should know that Ajax committed suicide. It was the gods, not me, who made him go crazy and do stupid things. If you really want to avenge Ajax, then the object of your revenge should be the gods."

Luo Yin continued on as if he didn't hear Odysseus' words.

At this moment, a little girl about ten years old ran up to Luo Yin, opened her hands and said.

"Please stop your violence. You have no reason to kill this man."

This is a beautiful and dignified little girl. She is wearing a flower crown and a royal princess costume.

Luo Yin stopped, frowned and looked at the little girl and asked.

"Who are you? The princess of the Huaiakaans?"

"My name is Nausicaa, and my father is none other than King Alcinous."

"Nausicaa—it's you!"

Hearing the little girl's name, Luo Yin immediately remembered that she was the princess of Huaiakaya who fell in love with Odysseus at first sight in her original destiny.

In the original fate track, Odysseus came to the island of Shelea ruled by the Huaichaians ten years later.

After the goddess Athena added charm to the forty-year-old Odysseus, Nausicaa saw Odysseus and thought that a man old enough to be her father could be her husband.

Looking at Nausicaa who opened her hands to protect Odysseus, Luo Yin joked.

"Nausicaa! Seeing that you are an innocent child, I will tell you the reason why I killed Odysseus!"

Luo Yin looked past Nausicaa and looked at Odysseus behind him.

"Odysseus! You are right. The real murderer of Ajax was not you, but Athena, the goddess of wisdom. But Athena is your protector, and she killed Ajax for you. Si, what's wrong with me making you Athena's scapegoat? If you think Athena's killing of Ajax has nothing to do with you, and I should go and take revenge on Athena - then I'll let you go."

"Well--"

Claiming that he had nothing to do with the death of Ajax and asking Luo Yin to take revenge on Athena - of course Odysseus did not dare to say this.

After all, Athena is a very small-minded goddess.

If Odysseus denies his relationship with Athena, Athena will definitely abandon Odysseus.

Without the protection of Athena, even if Luo Yin gave up chasing Odysseus, Odysseus had no confidence that he could return to his hometown alive.

Seeing Odysseus fall silent, Luo Yin raised his divine spear, pointed the spear blade at Odysseus and said.

"Odysseus, now you can be killed by me without any complaints!"

"duel--"

Before Luo Yin stabbed the divine spear, Odysseus suddenly shouted.

"Neoptolemus, I challenge you to a duel."

"Duel - it's a boring death struggle that can only keep you alive for a few more minutes."

Luo Yin took back the divine spear, turned around and walked outside the banquet hall.

"Although I can't wait to send your soul to Hades' Hades, I still follow tradition and give you a chance to duel!"

Looking at Luo Yin's leaving figure, Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"It seems that Athena hasn't given up on me yet."

After speaking, Odysseus gathered up his courage and left the banquet hall with his bow and arrow.

King Alcinous also brought the royal family and nobles outside to witness the duel.

In the huge courtyard of the palace.

Odysseus ran to a position two hundred meters away from Luo Yin, bent his bow and aimed an arrow at Luo Yin and said.

"Son of Achilles, although I said I wanted to duel with you, I didn't say that this duel can only use melee weapons. If you want to avoid injury, swear to the gods that you will not hunt me down again."

"boring!"

Odysseus actually wanted to threaten him with a bow and arrow, and Luo Yin immediately rushed towards Odysseus as fast as the wind.

Odysseus gritted his teeth, and while missing the arrow at Luo Yin, he begged Athena in his heart.

Great Athena, please give your divine power to my missing arrow!

A loud sound!

Luo Yin swung his divine spear and knocked away Odysseus' arrow.

Seeing Odysseus' eyes widening in surprise, Luo Yin sneered.

"Odysseus, do you think I will be defenseless against your arrows? You are Athena's favorite. Athena may give your arrows divine power, allowing you to stab Ari like Diomedes. It hurts me the same way, so I won’t give you any chance to hurt me.”

At the same time as he finished speaking, Luo Yin came to Odysseus and stabbed Odysseus with his divine spear.

Just when Odysseus was about to be pierced by Luo Yin's spear blade, a golden figure suddenly descended from the sky and blocked Luo Yin.

BANG!

A golden shield blocked Luo Yin's spear on behalf of Odysseus.

"Pallas Athena!"

Looking at the goddess in front of him wearing a white robe, a golden belt around her waist, holding a golden spear and a golden shield in her hands, and even wearing golden strap sandals on her feet, Luo Yin frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

"You really come to hinder me again."

For the Huai Achaeans, the most important god is their patron god Poseidon, followed by Athena.

There is a sacred forest dedicated to Athena outside the city of Huai Achaeans as proof.

Seeing that Pallas Athena actually came to protect Odysseus in person, Alcinous said excitedly.

"Odysseus is indeed the favorite of the goddess of wisdom Athena. Fortunately, we did not refuse his request for help."

Odysseus, who was saved by Pallas Athena, also breathed a sigh of relief, and was glad that his patron god was the most powerful goddess among the gods.

"You are still alive!"

Pallas Athena didn't care about other people's reactions. She looked at Luo Yin with an unhappy expression.

"Who is the god who saved you? Is Poseidon the god who can remove my salt transformation? No - Poseidon is so angry that he wants to kill you! Is it Thetis who saved you, or her sister Psamathe? Among the sea goddesses in the Mediterranean, they are the only goddesses who can remove my salt transformation."

"It doesn't matter who saved me."

Luo Yin looked at Pallas Athena's blue eyes and said with a bright smile.

"Pallas Athena, do you want to give up Odysseus and let me become your favorite?"
