Chapter 237 I'm sorry, Mr. Ma
In the early morning, the grass at the foot of the God of War Mountain rustled, and a figure covered in dew and dust crawled out of a human-shaped pit.
Every time the body moved, the figure lying on the ground would twitch involuntarily, and the handsome features on his face would wrinkle into a ball, filled with bitterness and grief.
It hurts! It really hurts!
It was as if all the skin was torn apart, all the muscles were cut off; every bone was trembling, and every drop of blood was emitting a painful wail...
It seemed that all the organs in his body were tortured to the point that they wanted to go on strike collectively or escape from his body...
Isn't it just plucking a feather from you? Is it necessary to be so cruel?
With a bitter look on his face, Loen reached out his hand to his swollen buttocks, and while enduring the severe pain, he pulled out a handful of thorns that had pierced his flesh.
"Athena, just wait, you will get beaten sooner or later!"
Just as a miserable victim was secretly swearing, a burst of brisk footsteps was heard in front.
Two familiar figures were walking along the mountain path, their purple and green eyes looking around.
"Where's the teacher?"
"The goddess said he was waiting at the foot of the mountain. He should be around here."
Atalanta and Medusa, who were traveling with them, walked forward, looking for the person who had agreed to take them to the Academy of Athens to handle the formalities today.
"Hey, you guys are here? Up so early?"
Soon, accompanied by a familiar call from the forest, the person they were looking for came out from under the shade of the trees, smiling and waving, while taking small steps towards the mountain path.
But for some reason, his steps seemed a little shaky and unsteady.
Atalanta was a little surprised when she saw this.
"Teacher, you today..."
"Oh, I was a little too hasty in practicing the power I just mastered last night. I consumed too much energy and my body couldn't take it anymore."
Luo En held onto a tree trunk nearby and explained with a smile, "It's okay, I'll take you through the formalities first, and then go back to rest."
"Is it really okay? In fact, I can accompany Atalanta to report by myself." Medusa on the side was a little worried and took the initiative to make a suggestion.
But Luo En waved his hand and declined the kindness with a smile: "It's okay, this little trouble can't bother me."
The reason why he insisted on going with them was not because of any so-called face-saving measure, but because he had reasons to go.
Then, after a brief chat with the two little ones, Lorne took the initiative to lead the way, leading Atalanta and Medusa straight to the Academy of Athens.
Soon, after a short distance, the mountain twisted and turned, and the view in front of them suddenly opened up. A magnificent academy covering a large area and with standard ancient Greek temple-style architectural style came into view.
A group of young men from the surrounding city-states were either competing in swordplay, archery, fighting and other combat skills in an empty training ground, or reading books on poetry, history, philosophy, magic and other subjects in a quiet garden, or walking in the light-transmitted corridor with teachers and classmates who had just finished class, engaging in heated debates on the knowledge learned in class...
Looking around, although the Academy of Athens is still in its early stages, it already has a strong academic atmosphere.
Lorne nodded secretly, and took Medusa and Atalanta, crossed the elegant marble arch, and came to a forest-style cottage built on the lakeside.
As the door was knocked, the Centaur Sage Chiron walked out with four long legs, looking at an old friend who had disappeared for some time with surprise.
"You're back?"
"Well, things are going well."
"It's good to be back..."
Chiron nodded slightly, a hint of relief at the long-awaited reunion in his eyes, but then he remembered something and his expression became inexplicably depressed.
Seeing that the atmosphere around him was a bit depressing, Loen immediately smiled and waved his hand, pushing Atalanta behind him to the front of the stage.
"Oh, by the way, I brought you a student when I came back this time."
Chiron came back to his senses and looked at Atalanta. His eyes lingered on her arms and behind her for a moment, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Well, he's a good archer with a good bow."
"Not only that, her speed and fighting skills are both first-rate. In addition, she is also learning how to identify herbs."
Loen praised his student and then told the Centaur sage his plan.
"Teacher Ma, she has been living in Arcadia and just came out of the mountains, so I want her to understand the cultural customs of different city-states."
"Etiquette and culture lessons? Yes, no problem."
Chiron nodded, then coughed dryly to correct himself.
"But my name is Chiron."
"Okay, you're good at herbology, right? I'll trouble you to teach her later, Mr. Ma."
"That's fine. But can you call me Chiron?"
"She doesn't have enough experience in archery, so if you have nothing to do, please practice with her."
"All right, I..."
"That's no problem. Are you free tonight, Mr. Ma?"
“…”
Looking at the bad friend in front of him who was obviously not prepared to listen, the honest Centaur could only give up his naming rights depressedly and asked with a wry smile.
"Why? Do you have anything else tonight?"
"Well, Atalanta will be under your care for a while. She has no relatives in Athens, so as a teacher, I have to show some appreciation, right?"
Lorne patted the Centaur sage's shoulder affectionately, forced a warm smile, and announced loudly.
"So, let's go to my house for dinner tonight. It's a happy decision!"
"Your home?"
Chiron was slightly stunned and a little surprised.
Even though they have known each other for such a long time, he still seems to not know this guy's specific home address.
"Oh, it's the residence of Lady Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, on the mountain. I am her subordinate god."
"Lady Hestia? It's not right to disturb you without your permission, right?"
"Don't worry, Lady Hestia is very hospitable and won't mind. Besides, you've helped me so much today, we'll treat you well no matter what!"
Loen patted his chest and promised solemnly, then he put his hands around the Centaur Sage's neck, pulled him aside, and whispered.
"Besides, Lady Hestia will be cooking for us herself tonight. Don't miss such a great opportunity."
Hearing the repeated enthusiastic invitations from the other side and the name of the chef, Chiron couldn't help but be tempted.
It is definitely a rare enjoyment to be able to taste the delicious food cooked by the Goddess of the Stove in person.
"Okay, it's settled! You help Atalanta with the paperwork first, and then take her to visit her home after school tonight. We'll have a good meal at home!"
Lorne patted Chiron on the shoulder, then without saying anything, left Atalanta and Chiron to handle the formalities, and then dragged Medusa out of the gate of the Academy of Athens.
After walking for a distance, someone restrained his enthusiastic smile, stopped and turned back, looking quietly at the dense forest where Chiron lived, quietly made a cross on his chest, and muttered softly.
Teacher Ma, please help me in time of emergency. You are such a nice person, you won’t blame me, right?
