Chapter 194 I Love Watching Women Fight the Most (46k)

Chapter 194 I like watching women fight the most (4.6k)

The next morning, the snow-white waves splashed high.

After soaking all night, Lorne floated up from the deep sea, crossed the waves, and walked towards the camp on the shore.

Before the extinguished ashes, Thetis and Hecate, who had woken up early, were sitting by the dead branches chatting and laughing, and a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere spread.

It must be said that this goddess of the sea, who is known for her wisdom, has a talent for communication. Even when facing the sudden appearance of Hecate, she can communicate as if nothing had happened, and never mention the incident of Hecate being thrown alone on the sea.

Seeing Lorne's arrival, Thetis subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you want to do in the morning? I'll help you."

As she said, she took the initiative to raise her hand and throw in the firewood, lighting the embers, looking like she was ready to help.

Seeing the flames rising, Hecate smiled and stood up, giving the positions of the chef and the assistant to the two, and strolled leisurely on the beach, waiting for the meal.

Looking at the goddess of the moon from a distance, Thetis turned back to look at Lorne beside her and lowered her voice.

"She was in your tent last night?"

"Yes, if Astraea hadn't come in by accident, I would have almost been unable to escape."

Lorne stirred the oatmeal in the pot and glanced at Thetis beside him unhappily.

After a moment, Thetis came back to her senses, and a trace of embarrassed apology appeared on her face.

"Sorry, it seems that my attainments in magic are still lacking, and she actually let her sneak in without making a sound."

The defensive spells last night were basically all drawn by the goddess of the sea.

And being broken through by Hecate so unnoticed, and even touching the door of her house, she still felt a little guilty towards a certain unfortunate person.

Lorne rolled his eyes and asked with a playful smile.

"Does this count as you owing me a favor?"

"No!"

Thetis grabbed the bronze elephant emblem in her arms and held it tightly in her palm. At the same time, she looked at a debtor who wanted to settle the account with caution, and argued seriously word by word.

"You threw her down, so it's natural for her to cause trouble to you, whether I set up the defensive magic or not. And I'm the one who was implicated, so you owe me!"

"So heartless..."

Under Thetis's calm analysis, Loen covered his chest with his hands and muttered resentfully, with a very hurt expression on his face.

The goddess of the sea glanced at a guy who was pretending to be pretentious, and continued to add fuel to the fire with an expressionless face, while speaking coldly.

"Are we so familiar?"

Good man, isn't this the word I used last night?

Tsk, woman...

Seeing the corners of the lips of a certain goddess of the sea that were almost unable to be suppressed, Loen's eyes were filled with a playful smile.

"Not familiar? Then why did you come into my tent so early in the morning?"

"Is it okay if you're hungry?"

Thetis pointed to the bubbling soup pot and snorted unhappily.

"Yeah, I'm hungry too! What delicious food did you cook this morning? It smells so good. Let me see!"

Just as the two gods in front of the fire were arguing, a head that was unpleasant came over, intoxicatedly took a deep breath of the rice aroma floating in the air, looked eagerly at the seafood porridge boiling in the pot, and urged impatiently.

"Hurry up, hurry up, give me a bowl first! I was almost exhausted from tossing back and forth last night."

Hearing Astraea's careless muttering, Hecate looked at a disciple in front of the fire, and her eyes gradually showed a hint of unknown meaning.

If I remember correctly, the two of them seemed to have stayed for a whole night.

Moreover, they went to the sea to take a bath right after getting up in the morning?

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.

Some people look righteous on the surface, but they act so quickly behind the scenes.

Hecate sneered secretly, and looked at Astraia with disdain at the fire.

What do you mean by dead heart? It will catch fire at the touch of a spark?

But this time, I will not let you touch the [seeds] that I sowed with my own hands!

But when Hecate's eyes fell on the golden balance swinging at both ends of the hilt, she suddenly lost interest.

Tsk, boring.

"Give me one too."

With a lazy groan, Hecate squeezed forward and stuck between Loen and Astraia, showing a bright smile to her disciple.

However, Loen, who had already had a stress reaction, trembled in his hand, and almost used the spoon as a weapon and stabbed the master's face directly.

Seeing Hecate's face starting to turn slightly dark, Lorne quickly calmed down, forced out a smile, and carefully served the hidden big boss with rice.

At the same time, he leaned towards Astraia in the name of serving rice.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, Hecate seemed to be vaguely afraid of the goddess of justice.

Even if it was just a false sense of security, it was better than staying with that woman.

At this time, looking at the spoons that were frequently extended to her and her rice bowl that was almost never exposed, Astraia's eyes were bright and full of emotion.

Lorne, what a good man!

After a breakfast full of intrigue, everyone extinguished the fire, packed up the tents, and prepared to set off.

However, when the team was about to set off, different voices appeared.

"Since the matter at sea has been resolved, I should go home to take a look."

Thetis said, with a hint of apology on her face, and nodded slightly to everyone to say goodbye.

"So, please forgive me for not being able to go with you to Athens."

Hearing that Thetis was about to leave, although Loen felt a little regretful, he still gave his blessings generously.

"Okay, then you be careful. If you have any trouble, remember to use that."

"Yeah."

Thetis nodded slightly, then pointed to the seashore in front, and asked Loen softly.

"I don't know when we will meet next time, how about seeing me off?"

For this small request, Loen certainly agreed.

Then, after entrusting the rest of the trivial matters to Astraea and Hecate, he stood up to see Thetis off.

The journey was not far, and the two arrived at the beach in a few minutes.

Although among the three goddesses, he had the strongest trust in Thetis.

But at this moment, they really had to say goodbye.

"Then..."

However, before Loen could say goodbye, Thetis rushed over and gave him a passionate hug.

So soon?

The relationship that heated up rapidly even surprised Lorne.

Has his charm reached this level?

"Stop making a sound and listen to me!"

The next moment, a sudden serious whisper in his ears made Lorne break away from his charming fantasy. His eyes condensed and he nodded imperceptibly.

"You'd better come with me now."

Thetis took advantage of the break in the hug to whisper, her eyes flickering towards the camp.

"I feel that your situation seems a bit dangerous..."

"Danger? You mean Hecate?"

"No, both of them!"

As if feeling that her simple accusation was too abrupt and pale, Thetis pursed her lips and quickly added.

"I was with Hecate before, and I found that she seems to have a strange interest in you. I can't tell what it is, but it always feels dangerous. And as far as I know, the excessive gaze of gods is often to most people. Not a good thing."

"As for Astraea..." Thetis paused, her eyes flickering, "Ever since we left that island, I always felt that she was acting weird, but I really can't tell what the specific problem is, so …”

"So you didn't dare tell me this until you decided to leave?"

Lorne took over the conversation and narrowed his eyes slightly, his face thoughtful.

"And this is why you came to me this morning?"

"Um……"

Thetis nodded, glanced at the two goddesses who were talking and laughing in the shade of the trees and packing their bags, and gave serious advice.

"To be on the safe side, it's better to end the journey here."

"Sorry, I have a reason to go to Athens."

Lorne shook his head, declined softly, and then hugged the ocean goddess who took the risk to warn him tighter, whispering close to her ear.

"Besides, I am here so you can leave..."

Suddenly, Thetis' body in her arms trembled, and the disappointment and self-deprecation in her eyes that she thought she was not trusted disappeared, replaced by a complex emotion.

As the ocean is broader and more primitive than land, the gods and lives nurtured there often have wild characteristics.

Therefore, the struggle becomes more cruel, and warmth and dependence are quite scarce.

Since her birth, except for her father, there has never been anyone of the opposite sex who has never left her in life and death and stood up for her in times of crisis.

Although the relationship between them was initially just an exchange of interests and they were forced to be bound together.

But after experiencing several hardships and dangers and relying on life and death, something else seemed to be brewing between them.

Suddenly, an inexplicable impulse surged into her heart. Thetis stood on tiptoes and kissed the man in front of her on the forehead.

"Then you must be careful!"

Lorne stroked the warm traces on his forehead, listened to the murmur that was still lingering in his ears, took the initiative to let go of his arms, winked playfully, and moved his lips and teeth silently.

"Don't worry, I cherish my life very much. Besides, I haven't repaid the favor I owe you."

Thetis clutched the bronze emblem on her chest, nodded slightly, then took a deep look at Lorne, turned around and walked into the sea, transformed into a colorful fish tail, and plunged into the blue water.

As the graceful figure completely disappeared into the snow-white waves, Lorne restrained the warmth in his eyes, put on a formulaic smile on his face, turned around and walked towards the two goddesses waiting to set off in front of the camp, shaking his head and muttering secretly.

It seems that this trip to Athens should not be too boring.

~~

A few days later, outside Athens.

"Shh!"

The bronze chariot braked suddenly and flicked its tail, interrupting Lorne's doze.

After a brief trance, Lorne looked up at the gate of the Acropolis, which had already begun to see its outline, and breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered a reminder to the two goddesses behind him.

"We are almost there."

"Yeah!"

The two goddesses responded in unison, staring at each other with their dim eyes, faintly wiping out fierce sparks in the air, but they did not notice the trace of unscrupulousness hidden in the eyes of a certain charioteer in front of them.

Driving the tiger to devour the wolf, this is the strategy Lorne adopted to protect himself.

The specific way is to cater to "Astraya" and conduct academic discussions with the goddess of justice all night long every day under the pretext of compiling laws and analyzing cases, and resolutely not to get close to Hecate.

Although there are some doubts about the goddess of justice, at least it is safer than Hecate.

After the last night attack, and with the value shown by Lorne, "Astraya" gradually became wary of Hecate and took the initiative to protect this rare legal talent in the Age of Gods.

But the close relationship between the two undoubtedly annoyed Hecate.

The goddess of the moon, who thought she was being poached, has since confronted a goddess of justice and started to intentionally or unintentionally compete against each other.

Lorne, who seemed to be a peacemaker on the surface, stood behind Astraea in private, adding fuel to the fire maliciously, allowing the two goddesses to oppose each other because of him.

So, in this subtle atmosphere of fighting but not breaking, the three of them successfully completed the whole journey.

The only pity is that the two are too restrained and have not fought so far.

Driving nervously, as the majestic white marble city outline stood on the horizon under the reflection of the sun, Lorne rubbed his swollen eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief.

Athens, finally arrived!

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, two of the twelve main gods of Olympus were present, so even if newcomers behind them wanted to take action, they would have to think twice.

After paying a few Hera silver coins to the sentry at the gate, Lorne could not wait to lead the two goddesses into the city.

The scale of Athens has doubled compared to his memory.

There are public buildings such as palaces, council halls, theaters, clubs, galleries, hotels, shopping malls, workshops, docks, and stadiums.

The bronze statue square where the gods and the builders of Athens are worshipped is crowded with people, and the density is better than before.

Lorne even saw the classic image of a snake-haired demon in it.

The goddess Pallas, the source of a bloodline of the Pandion family, brought a large population and advanced technologies such as shipbuilding, planting, navigation, and smelting to Athens from the sea, which contributed to the prosperity of Athens.

Because of her achievements, a statue and a monument are erected for her.

Not only that, in the core of the city, on the highest platform, in the towering temple dedicated to the goddess of wisdom Athena and the goddess of the hearth Hestia, the snake-haired goddess named Pallas stood on the left side of the goddess Athena, and together with the goddess of victory Nike on the right, they became Athena's right-hand man.

Going down in sequence along the terrain, eighty-eight sculptures dressed in armor of different colors such as gold, silver, and bronze, corresponding to the orbits of the stars, stepped on eighty-eight sets of star maps, and were placed on the road leading to the temple, guarding the goddess's bedroom, cold and inviolable.

Loen felt a certain power constantly flowing and brewing in the star map, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

It seems that Athena has taken the 88 holy clothes from Hephaestus, and infused them with the power of faith and divinity in some special way.

And according to Hestia's previous letter, the Ares Mountain has also begun to secretly build the zodiac corresponding to the constellations.

If the three elements of the holy clothes, the star palace and the human pillar are combined, the divine power of the sky can be eroded without leaving any trace, and a private army comparable to that of the gods can be created.

There is an endless stream of believers coming in and out to pray for blessings.

The star map they stepped on gradually exudes a wonderful meaning.

Obviously, Athena's plan has begun to bear fruit.

The only pity is that most of these holy clothes are ownerless, and there is still a lack of heroes who can really exert their power.

After all, facing the rising Zeus, even if Athena wants to steal his side, she dare not be too ostentatious.

After briefly understanding the development of Athens, Loen did not stay in the prosperous area for too long, and led the visiting Astraea and Hecate through the Acropolis.

The Acropolis of Athens, built by Athena and her Minoans, seems to have absorbed the strengths of the coastal defense line of Crete in the past.

Therefore, its architecture is closely integrated with the terrain and is very ingenious. If the Acropolis is regarded as a whole, the hill itself is its natural base, and the structure of the building complex and even the arrangement of multiple parts are coordinated with the natural ups and downs of the base, forming a complete unity, making it a solid fortress that can rely on the terrain and fight step by step.

And the eighty-eight sacred garments and temples scattered on the top of the mountain and the mountain road can quickly support various places.

If a similar beast tide is encountered again, Loen estimates that without the intervention of the upper gods, no matter how many come, they will be sent food.

Through the petiole-shaped mountain gate, the three people followed the road similar to the veins of the leaf and headed straight to the Ares Mountain in the northwest.

As the light screen of the entry monitoring flickered, a petite girl who was squatting in front of the exit had her eyes lit up, and immediately rushed forward excitedly to sell.

"Hey, guests who have come from afar, try my new herbal cakes, three Athena coppers each, refreshing and..."

"Teacher?"

The cheerful voice stopped abruptly, and Luo En looked at the witch in front of him with pink hair, colorful eyes, eagle wings on her back, and a dazed look, and he was also stunned.
