Chapter 120: The God of Pure Love kills the Minotaur Chieftain?
Strait of Messina.
Scylla, the sea monster that once brought disaster to the locals, was floating miserably in the sea. Each of her six heads was blasted with a thumb-sized blood hole by an arrow. The grayish-white brain and golden-red blood spread around with the surge of the tide, emitting a strong fishy smell, attracting many fish, shrimps and sea monsters in the water to eat them.
Obviously, this descendant of demigod could no longer die.
Similarly, with the overwhelming strength, other areas of the battlefield showed a one-sided trend without exception, and the main gods did not even need to take action personally.
Above the sky, the nine Muses were lined up in groups of three, spreading out in a circle, with their arms crossed over their chests, singing loudly.
The Sirens, who used to be noisy and foul-mouthed, were all silent and fled in all directions. However, under the high-pitched chanting of the nine Muses, they let out painful wails, their black feathers flew everywhere, blood mist burst out of their bodies, and finally they fell into the sea one after another.
Similarly, the three Siren sisters, who were the origin of the bloodline, were not spared. Under the bombardment of the nine Muses' divine words, they kept flapping in the sea, and large areas of their colorful scales fell off.
Since the nine Muses and the Sirens had an old grudge, this group of petty-minded Greek goddesses killed them without mercy.
In the sea, the three Gorgon banshees drove their chariots, galloping through the waves. As they watched, the Lamias who were unable to close their eyes because of the curse turned into stone sculptures, were granted eternal sleep, and sank into the deep sea.
Compared to the Muses' open revenge, the three young Gorgon sisters were obviously much gentler and presented death in a merciful way.
In front of the coastline, Artemis, who was the first to end the battle, waved her hand slightly, and the twenty hunting nymphs quickly split into two teams.
One team dragged away the wreckage of the giant monster Scylla and began to clean up the battlefield; another team spread out in a crescent shape, guarding the vicinity to prevent any blind sea beasts from coming to attack their main god.
The hunting goddess simply abandoned the group of followers, saying she wanted to continue her hunting tour and find a campsite, and took Lorne to Sicily near the Strait of Messina, where she took a leisurely stroll in the mountains and forests with her long-lost new love.
Under Artemis's ardent and gentle gaze, Lorne could only force a smile and follow the hunting goddess obediently.
There is no other way. The county magistrate might as well take charge of the situation now. He is already surrounded by enemies. He can only try to appease one person first.
Fortunately, women in love are very emotional animals. Lorne only said that he became Hestia's servant god mainly because he had received the favor of the hearth goddess and because of the compatibility of the priesthood, and he evaded the question of his unclear relationship with the goddess of the hearth.
Artemis had a gloomy face at first, but suddenly the sky cleared up and she even looked very happy.
"Aunt? That's okay, she's a very nice person!"
So, as long as it’s not my old rival Athena, it’s fine, right?
Seeing the gloating look on Artemis' face, Loen couldn't help but secretly complain about the "deep friendship" between the two virgin goddesses who were stabbing each other in the back.
However, although she knew that Athena had not succeeded, Artemis was competitive by nature. When she learned that Ron was currently incorporated into the system of the God of the Hearth because of his priesthood, she immediately dragged Ron to find a camping site without saying a word, and took the initiative to humble herself and began to learn the skills of making fire and cooking.
Obviously, Artemis was not going to give up even though she was his adored aunt. She even planned to develop another divine duty to win her lover back early.
But because she was used to being served, even though the hunting goddess lowered herself and completed the task of making a fire, she still had a headache about the next steps and could not help but look eagerly at the professional staff beside her.
Lorne didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to squat down next to Artemis and patiently teach her how to marinate, cook and grill.
Soon, the hunting goddess, who had mastered some of the essentials, excitedly sprinkled salt and spices evenly on the cleaned lean meat and patiently turned the skewers.
Watching Artemis's skills gradually mature, Loen couldn't help but fall into deep thought in front of the fire.
By the way, does this count as me, a subordinate god, teaching outsiders to praise my main god together?
"It's ready, try it!"
Just as Loen was thinking to himself, Artemis, with a smile on her face, handed over her first finished product to her teacher.
Although I want to do something more in-depth, firstly, the full moon has not arrived yet, and secondly, there are too many idle eyes around.
For now, we can only bear with it.
Looking at the skewers of meat in front of him, which had a good color, Loen struggled to pull his fallen arms out from a pair of headlights, and prepared to take the skewers and taste them carefully.
However, a white and slender hand suddenly reached out from behind him, snatched the skewer of barbecue, stuffed it into his mouth and devoured it.
"Hmm, it's all lean, a little stuck in my teeth; it wasn't marinated long enough, so it's not flavorful enough; it's even burnt, the heat wasn't controlled well..."
The stove goddess arrived at the scene and commented on her niece's rough craftsmanship with professional standards. Then she straightened her expression and squeezed next to the beginner, showing the enthusiasm and kindness of a family elder.
"How can this be done? Come, I'll teach you~!"
Artemis looked at the third person who suddenly intervened and was surprised.
It wasn't like she really wanted to learn how to barbecue, she just simply wanted to be with someone.
Then, the hunting goddess subconsciously looked at Loen who was pushed aside, her eyes filled with a hint of help.
But before she could speak, the Hearth Goddess beside her seemed to remember something and spoke to herself.
"How can there be only meat but no soup?"
Then, Hestia quickly turned her head, glared at her not-so-sensible servant god, and scolded him righteously.
"What are you standing there for? Go pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables!"
"I also……"
Artemis subconsciously stood up, wanting to follow and continue enjoying their time together.
But Hestia acted like a strict teacher, held her down with one hand, with a smile on her innocent face.
"Come on, I'll teach you how to bake it deliciously."
Then, as if to avoid distracting her niece and worrying her, she quickly turned her head away.
"Athena, go over there and help!"
"Yes, auntie."
The aunt and niece exchanged an obscure look. Athena nodded happily, waved with a smile, and in Artemis's astonished gaze, she grabbed Lorne's collar and dragged him towards the grove full of mushrooms.
The three Gorgon sisters were on the periphery, intentionally or unintentionally separating the hunting nymphs who wanted to rescue and relieve the situation, so that outsiders could not disturb the home lessons of a certain hearth goddess.
don't want……!
Seeing that the good cabbage she had been dreaming of was actually taken away by her biggest competitor right in front of her, Artemis couldn't help but feel angry and furious in her heart.
Well done!
When Hestia saw that Athena understood what she meant and caught her "long pass", she couldn't help but clench her fists and waved them excitedly in secret, praising her niece's wisdom.
According to the advice of the goddess of wisdom, she not only caught the guy who was plotting against her vegetables on the island, but also had the opportunity to teach the thief a lesson and successfully sent her own cabbage away safely.
Everything is perfect. Athena is as reliable as ever!
