Chapter 24 Friends, there are two more chances
The sea of Oceanus, the night water pours down onto the surface, creating sparkling ripples.
On a desolate island, sparse vegetation grew in disorder and a suppressed groan could be faintly heard from a cave covered by dead vines.
"Ding Dong~~"
With the sound of metal collision, two deformed golden-bronze arrowheads fell to the ground, with a few pieces of torn flesh hanging from the sharp conical blades on both sides.
Leaning against the side of the stone wall, Loen spat out the broken wooden stick in his mouth, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and endured the piercing pain.
Then, he took a deep breath, applied medicine to his injured left shoulder and right leg with trembling hands, and looked at the half-broken metal arrow shaft on the ground with delicate wave patterns carved on it and faint starlight floating on the broken end, cursing inwardly.
Oliha Steel! A bunch of losers!
The so-called "Orichalcum Steel", also known as "Mountain Copper", is a mysterious metal that is widely mined in the legend of Atlantis. It has extremely superior hardness, toughness and magical conductivity. It is an excellent material for making magical weapons and even divine weapons.
It was mentioned in Homer's epic that the crown and earrings of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, were made of this kind of Orichalcum steel.
And in the occult, wizards and witches often refer to it as one of the "three major magic minerals" along with "mithril" and "crystal". If used properly, it can produce powerful power and can even cause damage to a divine body, not to mention a demigod.
The injuries on Loen's body were caused by the Atlantis Guards using special Orichalcum steel secret arrows during the sea chase that lasted for half a month.
You chased me for more than half a month and even shot me with a secret arrow made of Orichalcum steel that was worth as much as gold. Is it that necessary?
Didn’t I just sacrifice more than 100 sea monsters, kill a demigod illegitimate son of Poseidon, and kill you on the way?
Let me count the ways…
1...4...5...7...uh...8 golds, and a seriously injured demigod deputy captain?
After carefully accounting for his battle record, Loen couldn't help but twitch his lips, feeling a little guilty.
Okay, that was a bit heavy-handed.
But there was nothing that could be done about it, because when those Atlanteans saw him, they chased him like dogs chasing rabbits and wouldn't let go.
In a life-and-death situation, his own life is in danger. It is impossible for him to show mercy and hope that the other party will remember his kindness, right?
Tsk, it looks like this matter is not negotiable.
While Loen was feeling depressed and complaining, he tore off a few pieces of clean cloth and bandaged his slowly healing wound. He closed his eyes and leaned against the stone wall, meditating to restore his magic power and physical strength. At the same time, his mind was racing as he recalled the thrilling experiences of the past half month.
At first, he finally chose to believe the advice of the woman Hecate.
After all, only as long as she is alive can she have fun in the future.
So, before the Atlanteans surrounded him, Loen sailed westward.
But it is simply a pipe dream to want to outrun the Atlanteans who are blessed by the sea god on the Sea of Oceanus.
In just three days, he was caught up by the Atlantis Guards who were following him.
As a last resort, Loen could only fight and retreat. In the end, he used almost all means and got on board his own boat before he broke through the defense line of the Atlanteans and managed to break through successfully.
But on the vast Sea of Oceanus, without a ship, his maneuverability was greatly reduced.
Therefore, it was not long before they were blocked on a deserted island by that persistent group of Atlanteans.
This time, Loen was not so lucky.
After taking advantage of the favorable terrain and the magic traps set up in advance to quietly kill three gold-rank Atlantis guards, he was first chased all over the mountain by a group of mad dogs, and then was shot by two arrows. Finally, he had no choice but to jump into the sea, detonate the entire deserted island, and escape in the chaos.
Fortunately, the secret ceremony that upgraded him to a demigod allowed him to indirectly gain some decent underwater mobility while absorbing the divinity of hundreds of divine blood sirens.
In addition, in the ocean of the Greek Age of Gods, there are countless islands of various sizes.
Only then did Loen find a remote deserted island, take a short rest and get a temporary respite.
But this peace will definitely not last long.
Those mad dogs who are determined to fight him will find him sooner or later after searching the surrounding area.
So, this is not gambling, it is clearly gambling with your life!
As Loen gritted his teeth and greeted a certain gambling goddess, the waning moon rose to the zenith under the night sky. The crisp sound of three dice falling rang in his mind one after another as midnight arrived.
Also emerging were three oracles on the bronze altar, which corresponded to the divine emblems revealed by the three throws.
"Mission one: complete the blasphemy against Apollo."
"Mission 2: Complete a blasphemy against Zeus."
"Task three, complete the blasphemy against Hera."
here we go again……
Loen weakly raised his hand and pointed at the second of the three shadows that appeared before his eyes, cursing with gritted teeth.
"Zeus, you are a black-bellied scum, a shameless traitor, a beast who only knows how to sow seeds. I curse you to walk with your hands on the wall and spit blood..."
The firepower output did not last for a few sentences, and the second oracle in front of Loen turned into specks of light and shattered.
At the same time, a bronze badge with the ring of Ouroboros engraved on both sides emerged from the void and fell into Loen's hands.
However, Loen didn't even look at it. He just sketched out a few Hermes characters and threw it into the formed magic circle.
The four elements of water, fire, earth and air constitute the essence of the world. Therefore, Hermes, which possesses this property, can also construct a similar small independent space through magic circles, making it a convenient tool for storing the magician's personal belongings.
At this moment, the bronze badge in Loen's hand was thrown into the magic circle, followed by crisp sounds of metal collisions. More than a dozen identical bronze badges were thrown inside to collect dust.
A pile of garbage...
Loen glanced at them and showed little interest in them.
After all, these lowest-level chips dropped from the [Daily Book], when placed on the gambling table, can only be used to play a friendly game, and are of no help to his current situation.
Instead of wasting energy on these things, it is better to see what useful things can be dropped by [Zhou Ben].
Muttering in a bad mood, Loen stretched out his hand, and the twelve-sided dice stored on the bronze altar fell into his palm.
Three oracles shining with silver light appeared before his eyes.
“Trial 1: Win a battle and insult the God of War (completed).”
"Trial 2: Hunt down a divine blood sea beast and insult the ocean god (completed)."
"Trial 3: Destroy a piece of demigod armor and insult the authority of the God of Craftsmanship (unfinished)."
At the same time, the first two oracles turned into starlight and dissipated, transforming into two silver badges of the same shape.
With the two silver badges in hand, a happy smile finally appeared on Loen's gloomy face.
Now, I finally have enough money to draw two more cards.
