Chapter 226 Persephone Can Marry
Strong winds, heavy rain, thunder, huge waves——
These powerful natural phenomena are considered to be the anger or display of power by the gods, which is the origin of mankind's primitive worship of gods.
But in this world where gods really exist, gods can really create these natural phenomena.
As Hestia intervened in the fierce battle between Hera and Pandora, strong winds roared in the Sea of Scylla, setting off huge waves one after another. Heavy rain fell from the sky, and the dense raindrops were like curtains blocking the view.
If a ship stays in this area, even if the ship is not capsized by strong winds and huge waves, the heavy rain falling on the ship and increasing its weight may cause the ship to sink into the sea.
In order to escape the storm, the coalition fleets of Sparta and Thenaron sailed to the north at the fastest speed, and the naval fleet of Donia sailed to the south at the fastest speed.
Roy chased the Donian navy with Persephone on his back, and was about to catch up with the ships behind him. Roy suddenly found that his divine power was about to be exhausted.
Seeing the ships of the Donia Navy sailing as fast as arrows in order to survive, Roy finally gave up chasing the ships and turned around and flew towards an uninhabited island not far away.
The Aegean Sea is densely covered with islands. There are about 2,500 islands in total, and more than 90% of them are uninhabited islands that cannot even be marked on the map.
Roy carried Persephone on his back and landed on a small island with an area of about 10,000 square meters. When he saw that there was a cave under the hill in the center of the island, he said to Persephone.
"Goddess Persephone, let's go to the cave in front to take shelter from the storm!"
Persephone jumped off Roy's back and glanced at Hera, Pandora, and Hestia in the sky thousands of meters above.
Seeing that the battle between the three goddesses would not be decided in a short time, and the violent storm was coming towards the uninhabited island, Persephone looked at Roy and said.
"Although I don't need to hide from the wind and rain, I just have something to ask you."
After saying that, Persephone took the lead and walked towards the cave.
Roy followed Persephone into the cave. Looking at the dim cave, Roy couldn't help but say.
"It's a pity that this island is full of rocks. Even if I want to drill wood to make a fire, there is no hay or firewood. At night, this cave will definitely be invisible."
After Roy finished speaking, a soft golden divine light illuminated the cave.
Roy turned around in surprise and saw Persephone's body glowing with golden divine light, transforming from a human into a goddess again.
Feeling Roy's gaze, Persephone said with a faint smile.
"That way you won't be blind."
Huhuhu——
Hua Hua Hua——
A strong wind suddenly flew into the cave with raindrops. Persephone turned around and stretched out her left hand to point to the ground at the entrance of the cave.
A huge boulder immediately rose from the ground, blocking the entrance to the cave.
Seeing that the cave turned into a secret room, Roy suddenly realized that he was in the same room with Persephone alone.
Looking at Persephone's flawless face and over-mature figure, which was in line with the identity of the Earth Mother Goddess, just when Roy's heart couldn't help but beat fast, Persephone suddenly asked.
"Explain to me how Hestia got involved in this war."
Hearing Persephone's words, Roy had a hesitant expression on his face.
"Don't even think about pretending to be stupid."
Persephone seemed to be able to see through Roy's thoughts and said confidently.
"It cannot be an accident that Hestia did not continue to attack me with her thunder while I was with you. If you dare to lie to me, I will turn you into stone for blasphemy against the gods."
Facing the threat from Persephone, Roy could only speak honestly.
"Goddess Persephone, I have been praying in my heart just now, asking our goddesses Metis, Mnemosyne, Amphitrite and sister Hestia from our Kingdom of Athens to come and save me. Originally, I also I didn’t have high hopes, I didn’t expect Sister Hestia would really come to save me.”
"Sister Hestia? What do you call Hestia?"
"After Sister Hestia was robbed of the Argos region by Zeus and became a wandering god, I not only took in Sister Hestia and the Argos who followed her, but I also promised to help her regain Argos. Region. In order to reward me, sister Hestia became a brother-sister relationship with me."
"So that's it!"
Persephone looked at Roy with her beautiful purple eyes and said.
"You do have the potential to become a heroic god. As a down-and-out wandering god, Hestia becoming a sibling with you does not mean it is an insult to her status as a god."
After saying that, Persephone fell silent.
After a while.
Roy couldn't help but said.
"Goddess Persephone, we are enemies. Why didn't you use all your strength to kill me?"
"Why should I kill you?"
Persephone asked rhetorically.
"Do you think I am a subordinate god of Hera? Today's war is a war between the city of Sparta and the city of Donia to compete for interests. I am only providing some help as an ally. My Pylos region is with you There is no conflict in the Kingdom of Athens, so I have no reason to kill you.”
Upon hearing Persephone's answer, Roy immediately felt that the blind student had found Hua Dian.
Just as Persephone said, the Pylos region currently has no conflict with the Kingdom of Athens, and Persephone, as the patron saint of Pylos, has no reason to kill Roy.
So Roy walked up to Persephone and said with confidence.
"Goddess Persephone, if the Kingdom of Athens can bring more benefits to the Pylos region, can you remain neutral? I plan to build Athens into a trade hub in the Aegean Sea. The Pylos people can come to our Athens to buy any goods including weapons. I can promise to exempt the Pylos people from taxes forever."
The Pylos region will also be part of the Kingdom of Athens in the future, so Roy did not feel at a disadvantage when he proposed tax-free trade.
Hearing the conditions proposed by Roy, Persephone blinked her beautiful big eyes and said.
"The Pylos people do need salt, bronze weapons and other goods from the Kingdom of Athens. You are willing to give us permanent tax exemptions, but just ask me to be neutral?"
"Do you think I should make the Pylos region an ally of the Kingdom of Athens?"
Roy said with a smile.
"In this era, an alliance without a marriage relationship has no guarantee. If King Orobas of Tenaron has a young and beautiful princess who can marry me, then I am willing to form an alliance with him."
"Now there is no unmarried princess in the royal family of Tenaron who can marry you."
"No!"
Hearing Persephone's words, Roy said boldly.
"The royal family of Tenaron has at least one princess who can marry me. I believe that Princess Persephone of Tenaron must be an unmarried princess who is neither married nor engaged."
"You-"
Persephone said with a dissatisfied expression.
"You dare to tell me such a joke, do you think I won't be angry?"
