Chapter 53 I don’t eat beef!

At this moment, looking at the goddess of wisdom Athena and the snake-haired monster Medusa living in harmony in front of him, a strong sense of absurdity surged in Loen's heart, as if there was a sense of disconnection in time and space.

But then he understood the reason for everything.

Athena is the female ruler worshipped and believed by mankind, so her starting point naturally needs to be considered from a human perspective.

In the original history, as an adult, Medusa had suffered countless persecutions and killings, her heart had become frozen and she had fallen into madness, no longer having any warmth or kindness.

In some versions, even her two sisters who protected her met a tragic end and were devoured by Medusa.

Therefore, the Gorgon was completely out of control at that time and became a major scourge on the sea.

From a human perspective, she naturally became a target that needed to be eliminated.

But now little Medusa still has the light in her heart. After escaping persecution and hunting, she came to the city of Knossos and felt the precious warmth. She also responded in the same way to the humans around her who were kind to her.

Athena, who was observing secretly, probably saw all of this.

According to the temperament of this goddess of wisdom, she would naturally not arrogantly classify little Medusa as a "disaster". Instead, she fell in love with this lovely child because of her friendly attitude towards humans.

So, I was just worrying too much because of my preconceived notions.

Realizing that it was just a false alarm, Luo En, who had been worried, couldn't help but feel a little amused after sorting out his thoughts.

At this moment, as the misunderstanding was resolved, Athena clapped her hands, turned her head and looked behind her, bringing the topic back on track.

"Okay, after talking so much, we should go now."

"etc!"

However, her plan was once again stopped.

This time, it was still that male voice.

Athena seemed to understand something, she narrowed her eyes slightly and her face turned cold.

"You don't like it?"

In an instant, an invisible pressure came upon them, making people feel as if they were under the deep sea. Loen, who was the first to be hit, froze and quickly shook his head to deny it.

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Then why won't you come with me?"

Athena refused to give in and walked towards Loen step by step with a cold face.

Seeing that he had no way to escape, Loen made up his mind and decisively pulled a figure beside him to the middle and protected him firmly in front of him.

"Because of Lord Heya!"

"ah?"

Hestia, who had suddenly become a third party and was caught in the middle, looked up in confusion.

Loen took a deep breath, looked seriously at the stove goddess in front of him, and spoke solemnly.

"Lord Heya, you forgot that I still have not paid off my debt to you!"

There is no other way. Being soft won’t work. I can only use my trump card in advance.

So they were talking about the backyard... Hestia suddenly realized and nodded subconsciously to this fact.

"Yes, it seems so..."

“Is there much missing?”

Athena looked at Hestia and asked nonchalantly.

There are only a dozen trees left...

As her wrist tightened, the Stove Goddess shuddered, straightened her back, and spoke as if possessed by a ghost.

"A lot! A lot!"

Athena was slightly stunned, then a smile appeared on her face again. She looked at Lorne and Hestia in front of her and spoke leisurely.

"It doesn't matter. I'll make up for the rest. After all, we are all going to be my people from God, and his business is my business."

That calm voice exuded an invisible pressure. The man and the god holding hands had slight sweat on their foreheads.

"How can that be possible? How can I let you take over the mistakes that I made? You've helped me enough."

Luo En tried to slow down and soften his voice, and declined with a dry laugh.

Hestia next to her swallowed and agreed with a wandering look.

"Yes, that's right. You should just pay your own debts. There is no reason for gods to serve humans..."

Athena said nothing, but looked at the debtor and creditor pair who were subconsciously leaning against each other with a playful look.

How long has it been? Only a few months, maybe?

Not bad, auntie, I really underestimated you...

Faced with the invisible pressure from the Goddess of Wisdom, Loen was sweating profusely, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go all the way.

Of course, there are many benefits to becoming Athena's subordinate god.

But there was no way, he had more mines on him than Medusa.

The rebellious son of Zeus who should have died, the conspirator who tried to overthrow Olympus, the arrogant blasphemer, the wanted man of Atlantis...

Any of these charges, once made public, would be enough to get him into trouble.

Going to Olympus and hanging around in front of those gods every day would undoubtedly greatly increase the risk of being exposed.

Moreover, becoming Athena's servant god is almost equivalent to being inseparable from this elder sister who has explosive fighting power and a mind as sharp as a beehive.

In this way, it would be difficult to complete his blasphemous mission, and it would be a luxury to keep the secret for a long time.

If she finds my flaw, my fate will be unknown, as my life or death depends entirely on her.

Although he is the younger brother, he doesn't want to be the younger brother all his life and be firmly under the control of his master.

While thinking, Lorne secretly glanced at Hestia beside him.

As for the other one...

The stove goddess turned her head as if she had sensed something, and the guilty conscience in her eyes could hardly be hidden, and there was clear stupidity in her eyes.

Loen gave a relieved smile, conveying warmth of support and encouragement to the hand in his palm, shouting silently.

That’s right, this is what we want!

Athena is so cunning, how can she be fooled by Hestia?

This stove goddess is heartless and gullible. She almost never cares about worldly affairs and is only immersed in cooking in her own little house. She is simply a perfect shield.

Although I don’t know why this stove goddess suddenly changed sides and spoke for me, it’s definitely a good idea to choose her!

and……

In my memory, the god of wine seemed to have stolen Hestia's throne and was able to squeeze into the list of the twelve main gods.

The records about the future undoubtedly told him that this path was highly feasible.

Anyway, when I left the island, I had already received a wave of gold coins from my teacher Circe. This goddess of the hearth spent the whole day hiding in her own little piece of land studying recipes, and it seemed that she didn't have any great demand for the throne of deity.

How about...

Lorne thought to himself, and looked at Hestia's eyes, which flickered with a trace of unscrupulous light.

Hestia, who was standing by, felt a chill down her spine for some reason and couldn't help shivering.

At this moment, seeing her aunt's timid stress reaction, Athena, who had mistakenly identified herself with her aunt, retracted her scrutinizing gaze and sighed helplessly.

"Since my aunt has said so, I won't force you."

Hearing that her eldest niece seemed not to intend to pursue her betrayal, Hestia breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned. A smile spread across her face, and she took Athena's hand affectionately.

"Let's not talk about this. You came from Olympus, so you must be hungry at this time, right?"

Then, without waiting for her eldest niece to refuse, Hestia reached back and dragged Ron, who wanted to retreat and run away, to her front and praised him highly.

"To be honest, Luo En has a great understanding of cooking and seasoning. We have worked out a lot of delicious dishes together. I'll ask him to cook a bowl of noodles for you later. Pour our newly prepared sauce on it. It will be absolutely delicious!"

Athena knew that her aunt wanted to make amends, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, don't put chopped green onions in it."

In an instant, Luo En's face twitched, he swallowed unconsciously, and asked cautiously.

"Well, do you eat beef?"

"Of course I ate it. Isn't this what you humans often use as a sacrifice to the gods?"

Athena rolled her eyes at the cook in front of her who seemed a little timid, not understanding why.

Luo En breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had been pardoned, and nodded repeatedly.

That's good. That's good.

He was really afraid of triggering some kind of death flag. After he brought out the bowl of noodles from the kitchen, Athena would say with a smile, "I don't eat beef," then take out the gun of victory and stab him into a sieve.

Here is the update, and I’m asking for some votes at the beginning of the month. A new month brings new hope, and a good start.
