Chapter 192 How About Paying with Your Body? (45k)

Chapter 192 How about meat compensation? (4.5k)

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the night was like water.

In the dense forest near the sea, a ball of orange-yellow fire flickered slightly, licking the slightly red bottom of the pot, and the broth stewed on the fire gurgled.

Lorne stood up and picked up the branch that served as tableware, poked the pieces of animal meat rolling in the soup pot, and after confirming that they were rotten, he raised his hand to draw a few Hermes characters, took out a few pottery bottles he carried with him from the space magic array, and evenly sprinkled the spices stored in them into them.

Soon, the rich fragrance spread, and Thetis and Astraea in front of the fire subconsciously twitched their noses, obviously having been aroused by their appetite.

"Okay, it's time to eat."

Lorne smiled slightly, picked up the soup spoon, poured the stewed broth into the pottery bowl, and handed it to Thetis and Astraea beside him one by one.

However, after taking the ceramic bowl, Astraea was not in a hurry to taste the delicious broth. Instead, she put down the tableware, looked back at the vast sea in the distance, and said hesitantly: "We left Lady Hecate alone on the sea during the day. Is it a bit too much?"

Lorne answered casually while tasting the thick soup in the bowl. "It doesn't matter. The three goddesses of vengeance and Eris can't do anything to her. She will catch up by herself."

"That's what I said, but throwing her off the chariot directly is a bit..." Astraea frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, she won't mind, because this is our tradition of friendly exchanges on Aiyu Island."

Lorne comforted with a smile, and then told Astraea and Thetis about his previous training courses on Aiyu Island, cutting out and reducing them.

What about being chased and eaten by a monster that had been hungry for several days, what about diving with a sea monster, what about stealing the sheep of the Cyclops next door...

Or from time to time, he would try a medicine on a stupid bird witch, get poisoned, and turn into a pig...

Or he would face the upgrading ceremony, be thrown on a deserted island by Hecate, fight with a large group of blood followers alone for three days and three nights, and then be fooled by her to fight to the death with the Atlantis Guards who came to patrol...

Hearing Loen's understated narration, Astraea, who had been somewhat indignant for Hecate, suddenly lost her temper.

Is she afraid that he will live to adulthood by educating him like this?

And Thetis on the side showed pity and sympathy, and even a trace of maternal love overflowed in her blue eyes.

At this time, seeing that his emotions were brewing, Loen began to complain half-truthfully.

"Actually, there is nothing we can do about it. Thetis has just recovered, and the two of us have little chance of winning against Eris and the three goddesses of vengeance. Since you are all my guests, I can't let you make any mistakes, right? I have to let my master sacrifice a little.

The more capable you are, the more work you will do. Who made us the only one who can deal with those four evils?

Besides, since she is going to Athens with us, she will definitely take action if she encounters obstacles."

After listening to Loen's clear explanation, Astraea nodded helplessly.

"That's true..."

Then, the goddess of justice stopped asking about the relationship between the master and the disciple, and enjoyed the meal prepared by the family of the kitchen god.

After a small sip, the broth tastes rich and delicious, making people unable to stop;

Put a piece of poultry meat between the lips and teeth, the meat is clearly shredded, not only without the slightest fishy smell, but also with the deliciousness of mushrooms...

As a searching gaze fell on her, the goddess of justice subconsciously raised her head and looked aside in surprise.

"What's the matter?"

Lorne came back to his senses, shook his head, and smiled and replied: "No, I just saw you eating so carefully, I thought this meal was not to your taste."

Looking at Astraia sipping the broth in the firelight, the chef of the dinner party had a little murmur in his heart.

It's strange, why is she so polite tonight? And the posture of eating before was not like this.

"It's just that my appetite was not very good just now!" Astraia explained hurriedly.

"What about now?" Lorne asked.

Astraia did not answer directly, but raised her head and drank half a bowl of broth in her hand, and then handed the empty bowl over heroically.

"Another bowl!"

Seeing the diners regain their appetite, Loen couldn't help but smile again, and immediately served a full bowl for Astraia.

The goddess of justice took the tableware, and without saying a word, she buried her head and showed off.

The vigorous posture made Loen instantly regain the familiar feeling, and secretly gave her a thumbs up in his heart, and admired her sincerely.

——This girl is really a man!

"Ahem~~!"

However, it seemed that she heard someone's ridicule. Astraia didn't eat a few bites, and she was suddenly stuck by the meat that was stuffed into her esophagus. She covered her chest and coughed violently.

Seeing this, Loen hurriedly reminded with concern.

"Drink a sip quickly, be careful not to choke."

Astraia subconsciously put down the ceramic bowl, picked up the sheepskin water bag she brought on the ground, pulled out the cork, and raised her head to take a sip.

"Puff!"

However, as soon as the liquid in the water bag entered her throat, the goddess of justice's face changed, she lowered her head and spit out the liquid in her mouth, looking at the sheepskin water bag in her hand in surprise.

"Wine?"

"Yes, don't you like to drink this with rice?"

Lorne was slightly startled, and looked at Astraia who reacted violently with some surprise.

"You drank it a little too fast..."

The goddess of justice in front of the fire coughed slightly, wiped off the remaining wine at the corner of her lips, picked up her sheepskin water bag filled with wine again, and drank a few mouthfuls as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Astraia quietly drink half a pot, Lorne hurriedly reminded her kindly.

"I brewed it myself, it's a bit strong, and the aftereffect is strong, don't drink too much..."

"Don't worry, it's nothing!"

Asteria patted her chest, but her expression was still as carefree as before.

It's good that she's not drunk.

Lorne breathed a sigh of relief, and simply stopped trying to dissuade her, concentrating on the food in front of her.

Half an hour later, the three of them had enough food.

Asteria's pretty face was already flushed, and her eyes were also slightly drunk and blurred.

"Everyone, I'm full, I'll go back first."

Then, the goddess of justice stood up from the fire and prepared to go to her tent.

However, it seemed that she underestimated the influence of the alcohol in her body, and her steps were inevitably a little staggering.

"I'll take you!"

Seeing this, Lorne quickly got up and supported the staggering Astraia.

"Well... well..."

The goddess of justice, who was already a little drunk, did not refuse the kindness from the side, exhaling a strong smell of alcohol, and nodded vaguely in agreement.

As the blood flowed, Astraia's drunkenness became more and more obvious. She gradually leaned on Lorne's shoulder, and her plump body rubbed against Lorne beside her as she walked crookedly.

I have to admit that the two generations of goddesses of justice are both very nutritious, and their bodies are all the type that provoke crime...

Lorne didn't walk a few steps before some blood surged up, and the [goat] behind him was ready to move.

Damn it...

Lorne immediately suppressed his impulse, speeded up his feet, and quickly stuffed Astraia back into the tent before she was completely aroused to the point of turning into a beast.

Looking at the pretty face that was completely flushed, eyes closed, and the two [Fruits of Justice] that rose and fell with the heartbeat, a certain villain glared at the snow-white scar and couldn't help shaking his head.

You drank the divine wine that I brewed with my power, and drank so much in one breath...

Fortunately, your teacher asked you to go out with me, otherwise, someone like you would have been shot several Ts in the Investigator series!

After a while of complaining, Loen closed the curtain of the tent and turned to walk towards the fire in the center of the camp.

As the footsteps gradually faded away, Astraea in the tent breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened her eyes, covered her hot and sore forehead and sat up, her silver teeth grinding and biting.

~~

In front of the fire, the dishes had been washed, the debris on the ground had been cleared, and a graceful figure was patiently outlining the warning and defense spells on the tree trunks and sand.

"You can do this?"

"Not all nymphs are born superior like the goddesses of Olympus and served day and night."

Thetis responded calmly, patiently finishing the last stroke of the defensive spell, then turned to look at Lorne who was walking from the forest path, and continued to add calmly.

"Besides, there are many sisters in the family, and my father and mother can't take care of them. I occasionally need to help take care of them."

"Not bad, you are so virtuous. Whoever marries you is blessed."

Lorne praised with a smile, but he couldn't help but see that Thetis was slightly startled when she heard this, and her eyes towards him changed a little.

It seems that this is not the way to praise people in Greece...

Realizing that he was a little abrupt, Lorne slapped his forehead, quickly pointed at Thetis's back, threw a bottle of mead he had made before to the other party, and changed the subject.

"Have a drink. It contains herbs that relieve pain and help you sleep. It also has some blood-replenishing and recovery effects."

The sea goddess nodded under the firelight, took a sip of the sweet honey wine with a fruity aroma, and a hint of tenderness flashed across her blue eyes.

"Thank you for your help before."

"That's right. If you hadn't helped me and Astraea at the critical moment, we would have fallen into the hands of those four women. If I have to thank you, I should be the one thanking you."

"If you were as strong as me and were caught, I would definitely not be able to escape the clutches of Eris and the three goddesses of vengeance. Helping you is just helping myself."

"So you see, it's so troublesome to thank each other. Is it even?"

Lorne sat in front of the fire, blinked at Thetis, who had gradually become familiar with him, and smiled slightly.

However, Thetis shook her head under the firelight, her pretty face tightened a little.

"No, now you have to pay off the favor you owe me."

As he said, the creditor took out the bronze elephant emblem of the Gorgon from his pocket and shook it in front of a debtor.

"Okay, I owe you a favor..."

Realizing that his attempt to settle the account had been seen through, Lorne accepted the promise in a sullen manner.

"You are wrong, it's twice."

Just as someone was muttering, Thetis stretched out two white fingers in front of him and corrected him seriously.

For a moment, Loen was a little annoyed.

"Why are there more?"

"Do you need me to help you remember?"

Thetis asked, then calmly counted on her fingers and brought up the old story.

"In addition to the one on Cyprus Island, there was also this time in the primitive ocean."

"Okay, okay, twice is twice..."

As the goddess of the sea reported the undeniable facts, Loen rolled his eyes and secretly complained in his heart.

Sure enough, Greek goddesses are all petty.

Especially those who are smart and hard to cheat.

After getting Loen's formal promise, Thetis's tense face showed a smile, and then she strung the bronze badge with a rope and handed it to the man in front of her.

"Put it on me."

As she spoke, the sea goddess lifted her shawl blonde hair and pointed to the back of her snow-white neck.

Loen glanced at it and snorted unmoved: "Are we so familiar?"

Thetis handed the bronze badge to Loen and said lightly: "Then consider it as your first favor to me."

"Are you sure? My favor is very valuable..." Loen said unhappily, and stepped forward to put the bronze badge on Thetis's snow-white neck.

Successfully getting what she wanted, Thetis's face showed a bright smile, put this special necklace into her collar, stood up from the fire, and walked towards the tent under the night.

Watching the graceful figure of the goddess of the sea disappear from sight, Loen looked at the two hands that still had some residual warmth under the moonlight, and murmured and shook his head.

"It's a loss..."

However, it's only a small loss at present, and it's hard to say in the future.

With a playful sneer, Loen raised his hand to extinguish the remaining fire, got up and walked to his tent, ready to have a good rest, get enough energy, and prepare for tomorrow's full schedule.

Although Hecate was successfully tricked on the Sea of ​​Oceanus.

But with her true identity and strength, the three goddesses of vengeance and Eris combined probably can't stop this incarnation of chance.

So, it's better to set off as soon as possible tomorrow morning and rush to Athens.

It's best to be before Hecate.

This woman is not a good person. She can't go to Athens for tourism, right?

I hope nothing unexpected happens over there...

Lorne rubbed his sore brows, sighed, pulled open the curtain, and walked into the tent.

Then——

He turned around as if nothing had happened, suddenly activated [Goat], and ran away!

"Snap!"

A crisp snap of fingers echoed in the tent, and the exits and roads in front of him changed instantly, one split into hundreds of thousands, and one became tens of millions.

A moment later, the [Goat], running at full speed, passed several forks in the road, and returned to the starting point in a daze.

"Why are you running?"

Accompanied by a lazy voice, the purple-haired witch goddess sat up from the warm bed, yawning and rubbing her sleepy eyes, looking like she had just woken up, with her snow-white arms and jade-like shoulders exposed.

Lorne looked at the whole tent with rhythmic light patterns, turned around helplessly, and squeezed a stiff smile on his face.

"You must have suffered a lot for covering our retreat. The wind on the sea is so cold, so of course I'll bring you a cup of hot tea to warm you up."

"It's not that I suffered a lot, we just had a friendly exchange. They are also very easy to talk to, and promised not to harass you from now on."

Hecate said, loosening the five fingers of her right hand, smiling and opening her mouth to blow gently, and a few black feathers floated from her fingers to Loen's eyes.

The familiar fur color and texture made Loen's heartbeat slow down a beat, and then a bright and friendly smile bloomed on his face.

"I knew that the three goddesses of vengeance and Eri were not qualified to face your glory!"

However, while flattering on the surface, Loen couldn't help but gnashing his teeth and complaining in his heart.

What blood of Uranus?

What remnants of Nyx?

Even Hecate was not able to block it for a long time, and she even picked up the bird feathers all over the ground. She was just four pieces of trash.

Hecate appeared silently in his bedroom and brought these bird feathers. The ending at sea did not need to be imagined.

Eris and the Furies must have been badly repaired.

Sure enough, this woman Hecate is ridiculously strong!

Lorne was secretly frightened when his guess was confirmed, and his vigilance towards Hecate was raised to the highest level.

"Okay, there's no need to say more flattery, you should know my rules."

At this time, Hecate waved her hand to interrupt someone's compliment, then raised her chin and looked up and down at the good disciple in front of her who had deceived his master and destroyed his ancestor.

"So, how will you repay me next?"

God's gifts always come with a high price.

Likewise, God’s gifts and assistance are never free.

The goddess with half-hidden curves in the tent, her beautiful eyes moving, seemed to have come up with a brilliant idea, and she spoke with interest.

"Why don't you pay with your flesh?"

"...!

In an instant, Luo En's heart twitched, and he looked at the master in astonishment, and then instinctively took two steps back in the ambiguous and solemn atmosphere.
