Chapter 125 You Have a Way to Die
The chariot pulled by the golden-horned deer sped across the sea. Artemis hurriedly jumped off the chariot, rushed straight to her lover, grabbed his arm, and looked him up and down anxiously.
"Lorne, are you okay?!"
Lorne shook his head subconsciously to show that he was fine.
But after confirming again and again that her lover was not really injured, the female hunter finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of guilt on her face.
"I didn't expect the arrow to accidentally fly towards you. I'm sorry. It's my fault."
Having said that, Artemis glanced gloomily at Athena who was driving her chariot behind her, and vigilantly put Lorne behind her.
"It's okay. It's inevitable that there will be some negligence on the battlefield. This is just an accident."
Loen smiled, walked forward without any concern, stretched out his hand to pull out the Spear of Victory that pierced Phorcys' head, along with the pierced divine core, and returned them to Athena, who had won the hunting champion.
At the same time, he was sandwiched in the middle, easing the somewhat delicate atmosphere, pointing to the setting sun that was about to fall below the horizon on the sea, and kindly reminded everyone.
"It's getting late. It looks like we should go back, or Lady Hestia won't be able to wait any longer."
"Okay, I'll take you back!"
As soon as Loen finished speaking, Athena took the opportunity to speak, and took advantage of the gap when the other side returned the Spear of Victory to directly drag him onto the chariot.
At the same time, without the reminder of the goddess of wisdom, the three Gorgon sisters decisively pulled the reins, drove the Pegasus, and turned around to rush towards Sicily.
While he was distracted, Athena cut through the waves and left with two "trophies". Artemis, who was a beat behind, came to her senses and waved her hands in indignation.
"Let's go, let's chase!"
Sensing its master's mood, the golden-horned deer raised its head and let out a low cry, then immediately spread its four hooves, pulling the golden chariot and chasing after its target. The twenty nymph attendants who had arrived late also turned around and followed the chariot, sweeping towards the distant Sicily in a mighty manner.
"wait for me!"
Seeing Artemis disappearing into the distance, Apollo called out to the nine Muses around him, turned his chariot around, and followed closely behind, solemnly escorting his sister.
However, as he glanced back, the God of Light's eyes swept across the remains of Phorcys that were gradually decomposing on the sea, and a barely perceptible gloom appeared on his handsome face.
At the same time, on the galloping chariot of the goddess of wisdom.
"It's not me..."
"I know."
With a calm voice, Loen raised his hand and threw it back, and the cracked Phorcys core fell into the arms of little Medusa.
Feeling the resonance of the same divine origin, the three Gorgon sisters could not help but drop the reins and squat in a corner, absorbing together the ocean divine power escaping from the divine core.
The three of them looked so relaxed, as if they were high.
Even the sharp-tongued Stheno and Euryale could not help looking at Loen with a little more tenderness and satisfaction after seeing this generous gift.
At this moment, hearing Loen's nonchalant answer, Athena, who was thinking about the next explanation, turned her head to the side with surprise in her eyes.
"Such a crude method is not like your style." Luo En smiled and said what he thought was right. "If you do the same thing, I'm afraid I won't know how I died."
"Although I appreciate your high evaluation of me..." Athena paused, and her gaze towards Lon gradually deepened. "But I always feel like you are scolding me."
But then, a faint smile broke out on that tense face, and he waved his hand generously.
"Forget it, I forgive you this time."
Hearing the generosity and tolerance of the goddess of wisdom, Loen was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
And you still say you are not petty?
If you don’t know, you might think you are the victim?
As Loen complained in his heart, Athena calmed down and frowned, and a cold look gradually appeared on her face.
"It was my negligence this time. I didn't expect he would be so bold as to take advantage of his own sister."
“Not surprising…”
Lorne shook his head, his eyes calm.
Perhaps it was because of their incompatibility, and through the deconstruction of myths, I got to know the dark side of this God of Light.
So, from the first moment they met, Loen had a premonition that his brother-in-law might attack him.
In one version of Greek mythology, Orion, who used his power as the god of love to win the heart of Artemis, thought that the matter was settled, which led to his being framed by Apollo, his brother-in-law, and ultimately shot to death by Artemis, who was kept in the dark.
And now that Loen has replaced Orion, he will naturally be targeted by his brother-in-law.
What's more, compared to Orion, he had an additional "way to death" that Apollo could not tolerate.
——Hestia, the one whom the God of Light wanted but could not get, also had a close relationship with Lorne.
Therefore, whether it was because he was jealous of Hestia's exclusive favor or hated Artemis' intimacy with him, this god of light who appeared to be elegant on the surface but was actually proud and conceited in his heart had enough reasons to want to kill him.
But I didn't expect that the God of Light couldn't hold back so soon.
He actually took advantage of the sea hunting patrol and the fight between the two goddesses to interfere and plot against an annoying enemy.
He thought he had done it perfectly, but to carry out such a conspiracy in front of two even more sinister gods was nothing but a jack of all trades.
Perhaps Artemis was the only one at the scene who would believe that her helpful brother was just "careless", and instead suspected that the culprit was Athena, who was competing with her.
Of course, Lorne and Athena had thought about exposing this matter.
But without solid evidence, this option would not only be futile but also alert the enemy.
Athena recalled the dangerous scene at sea just now, pursed her lips, and whispered in a deep voice.
"Once we get to the island, I'll find a reason to send them away..."
"Need not!"
However, Loen, as the victim, took the initiative to shake his head and refuse.
"If I let him get away so easily, wouldn't that arrow I shot at be in vain?"
What's more, now is the critical period for the partnership to set a trap for Poseidon. Letting Apollo jump out so easily would be a loss.
At the very least, you should wait until you have used it up before considering settling the accounts.
Seeing the malicious look in Ron's eyes, Athena obviously understood someone's true intention.
After only a moment's hesitation, the goddess of wisdom beside her made up her mind and turned around to ask.
"What about Artemis? With something like this happening, the key is what she thinks..."
"Don't worry, I will explain it to her for you tonight!"
Faced with such a daunting task, Loen naturally patted his chest and took the initiative to step forward.
"Okay, I'll stop Apollo and Aunt Hestia for you..."
Athena showed an attitude of complete trust and made a solemn promise. The look she gave to Lorne was extremely gentle, and even her voice was a little more intimate and warm than usual.
"Once this matter is finished, I will prepare a gift for you to become a god."
Hearing that there was an unexpected surprise, Loen's anticipation was filled to the brim.
Sure enough, whether making contributions or taking the blame, Sister Ya will never treat herself unfairly!
However, when Loen began to fantasize about the rewards waiting for him in the future, he did not notice that Athena's eyes gradually became deeper, and one of her hands clasped behind her back creaked.
award?
That's right, I will definitely reward you well after I finish this matter...
The smile on the face of the goddess of wisdom became brighter and gentler, and the silver teeth hidden in her cherry lips rubbed against each other silently.
