Chapter 290 Shura Field Players (4.3k)
The next day, early morning.
After a night of hard work, Loen stretched lazily and casually threw a processed file on the table into the pile of documents behind him.
As he turned around, a beautiful scene of a sleeping crabapple tree in the corner of the temple came into his sight.
The flowing purple hair was scattered on the top of the snow-capped mountain like a waterfall, and the delicate skin still had a lingering blush. The pretty face with elegance and charm was tightly frowned, as if it could not bear the conquest of last night, and the pair of slender thighs were clamped together, subconsciously revealing a defensive posture.
A Valkyrie who is victorious in all battles?
Tsk tsk, that’s it?
Looking at Athena lying unconscious on the ground, Loen couldn't help but sneer and shook his head.
This is the bad thing about the Virgin Goddess. She has 0 experience, but she screams the loudest. Before the battle, she always thinks she is very powerful. But when she really fights with real swords and guns, her true colors are soon exposed.
As a result, Athena was defeated in just half the night. Her performance was far inferior to that of Artemis. Even the subordinate goddess Medusa of the same size could easily defeat her.
At most, this undefeated Valkyrie could only compete with the two female imps, Stheno and Euryale, and she was not certain to win.
How can I put it? There is a lot of room for improvement. You can discuss and learn more with him when you have nothing to do.
Just as Loen was muttering to himself with a wicked smile, a graceful figure came to the outside of the temple and gently knocked on the closed door.
A strand of flowing purple hair appeared through the crack in the door and caught someone's eye.
Medusa?
After confirming the identity of the visitor, Loen, who felt guilty, shuddered.
"Are you there? I'm coming in?"
Seeing that pair of white hands was slowly pushing the door open, Loen didn't have time to think too much. He quickly rolled up Athena, who was still sleeping in the corner, and stuffed her directly under the desk. Then he pulled down the tablecloth and opened a small barrier to cover the unruly virgin goddess.
He reacted as quickly as possible and sat upright before Medusa entered the room, posing as if he was carefully reviewing official documents.
"So you're here."
Seeing that Loen was concentrating on his work in the temple and did not notice anything unusual, Medusa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her frown relaxed slightly.
Noticing this subtle change in expression, a certain upright god who had been working all night put down his iron pen and asked calmly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Medusa nodded, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her cold and beautiful face.
"Someone insisted on seeing you, and we couldn't stop him."
"God level?"
"Um."
"What's your name?"
"Diana, she said she was an Amazon."
“Ahem…”
Upon hearing this, Luo En couldn't help but cough violently, and a big question mark popped up in his mind.
What's going on? Wonder Woman is knocking on the door?
He thought that although he was a scumbag, he had never bred with the Amazon Queen and had never even dealt with the Amazons, so how did Diana suddenly appear?
Just when Loen was confused, a female hunter with silver hair and blue eyes, wearing a corset and hunting boots, with a bow and arrow on her back, nimbly avoided Medusa's interception and broke into the temple. She showed a bright and brilliant smile to the shepherd behind the desk.
"You are here indeed!"
When he saw the figure in front of him, Loen's doubts were immediately resolved, and he waved at Medusa, who looked alert, with a helpless look.
"He's my friend, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Medusa lowered her guard doubtfully, and at Loen's signal, she obediently left the temple and continued to deal with the matters at hand.
As the three people in charge of Mount Ares, Themis, the goddess of justice, Hestia, the goddess of hearth, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, fell asleep one after another, Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, was exiled back to the Temple of Memory on Mount Helicon by the new law of fate. Medusa, the old lady of Mount Ares, had to start learning to stand on her own.
Plus, with her wedding date approaching, she still has a lot of troubles to deal with.
Seeing that the little girl who once needed his protection has now become a leader who can take on the important responsibility of War God Mountain, Loen couldn't help but feel relieved.
Then, after watching Medusa walk away, he waved his hand to close the door, and looked at the Amazon named "Diana" with some amusing expressions.
"Artemis, why are you here?"
That’s right, the visitor before him was none other than the goddess of the moon and hunting who was supposed to be dormant in Arcadia.
This image of silver hair and blue eyes was actually the classic skin that Artemis simulated using illusion in order to hide her identity when they sneaked into Cyprus together.
But now, Artemis used her divine power to make this into her own angel body, so that she can walk in the human world more easily.
As for why she named herself "Diana", Loen had basically guessed it now.
Diana, also known as Diana and Diana, may have a word related to "light" in her etymology. She is the goddess of the moon, oak forests, witchcraft, hunting and other powers in the future ancient Roman mythology. In the descriptions of late Roman art, Diana loves outdoor life in the woods and mountains, holding a bow and arrow, accompanied by dogs, hunting with many nymphs, and sometimes traveling in a silver chariot pulled by two sacred deer. In addition, she swore to remain chaste for life and was a strict virgin goddess.
In fact, the Roman goddess Diana corresponds to the present-day Artemis.
In addition, Artemis calling herself an "Amazon" is not actually a fabrication.
Because, although the Amazon warriors are descendants of the god of war Ares, they are followers of the goddess of hunting Artemis. In a sense, that is another holy place for her.
At this moment, the pretty face of the female hunter, whose identity was exposed by her lover, blushed slightly, then she calmed down, and a hint of resentment appeared in her bright eyes.
"Just because you're married, I can't come?"
Upon hearing this obviously fatal question, Loen's expression immediately became serious, and he expressed his true feelings in a righteous manner.
"How could that be! My door is always open for you!"
Artemis's expression eased a little after hearing this, but she was still a little unhappy.
"Then why did you marry Thetis?"
Looking at his angry girlfriend, Lorne had no choice but to explain.
"I promised to help her break her fate. You don't want me to break my promise, do you?"
"Then there's no need for you to come in person!"
"But who but me dares to disobey Zeus's orders?"
Lorne presented the indisputable facts and then spoke softly to comfort him.
"Don't worry, I'm just helping her out as a formality to stop outsiders from thinking about her and the prophecy. If she wants to leave in the future, I will never stop her."
"That's more like it..."
Finally, after her lover's repeated assurances, Artemis nodded with satisfaction and no longer cared about being cheated on.
After all, she is still a virgin goddess on the surface, and her true body is sleeping in the holy land. Even if she wants to enter into a formal marriage contract with her lover, she does not have sufficient conditions and opportunities.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter whether you get married or not.
For example, Hera and Zeus, even though they became husband and wife, they had different dreams and ended up torturing each other and becoming enemies.
As long as he is sincere to me and can be with me often, that's enough.
Artemis convinced herself in this way and gradually let go of the grudge in her heart.
However, compared to Athena, this goddess of hunting was still a little naive and did not notice the language trap left by a scumbag at all.
——He didn’t stop Thetis from leaving when she wanted to, but he didn’t say he would stop her when Thetis was really tempted.
Of course, the current hunting goddess is not in the mood to think about these troublesome things.
"There are still two days until your wedding?"
Artemis licked her moist cherry lips, her blue eyes flashing with a hint of heat.
No way? Here? In the temple of Athena?
"I……"
Loen's heart skipped a beat. Just as he opened his mouth to find an excuse to turn down this in-depth discussion, his body suddenly froze. His cervical vertebrae creaked and bent down inch by inch like rusty parts. He looked at the slightly shaking table in disbelief.
"What's wrong with you? You're sweating all of a sudden."
Hearing the sudden stop of the sound, Artemis looked at her lover in confusion and wanted to go forward to ask.
"Don't come over here!"
Seeing this, Luo En's face changed drastically and he quickly raised his hand to stop him.
Artemis felt a little aggrieved when she heard this.
"Why are you so mean to me?"
Seeing his girlfriend's gloomy expression, Lorne couldn't help but realize that his tone just now seemed a little too harsh. He then supported himself on the table with both hands, glanced at the ground, forced a smile on his face, and explained in a helpless voice.
"Invitations, I want to tell you to be careful with the invitations on the ground. The wedding date is quite tight, so I prepared so many, and each one is limited..."
After her lover's reminder, Artemis noticed that several gold-embossed invitations were scattered at her feet. If she was not careful, she would easily step on these carefully prepared things and break them.
Realizing that she had made a big deal out of nothing, the female hunter felt a little guilty and squatted down awkwardly, trying to save her image in the eyes of her lover.
"I'll help you clean up right now."
"Need not!"
Loen quickly declined Artemis's kindness. For some reason, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his back was hunched, and he lay on the table like a cooked shrimp.
Artemis was somewhat confused when she saw her lover's unusual reaction.
“You are…”
"I'm hungry."
Lorne lay on the table, trying to raise his head and force a smile, then spoke helplessly.
"I've been busy working all day and all night and haven't had any food yet. Can you go out and bring me some?"
Artemis naturally agreed to her lover's simple request. She nodded quickly, turned around and walked out of the temple to look for food.
As the figure of the Moon Goddess girlfriend disappeared at the end of the corridor, Loen breathed a sigh of relief, then gritted his teeth and lifted the tablecloth.
"You're not coming out yet?!"
A white finger stretched out from under the table and rested on a corner of the edge.
Then, a graceful purple-haired goddess came out from the narrow space, stretched her waist with satisfaction, tilted her head back to swallow, and then a playful smile appeared on her face.
"Your defeat this time was much faster than I expected."
Luo En said expressionlessly, "Before you say that, can you please wipe your mouth clean first?"
"..." The teasing expression on Athena's face froze, and then she raised her hand to wipe her mouth as if nothing had happened, and spoke to save her face, "It seems that you are not that good either."
"Ah, right, right." Luo En nodded weakly, then made a sad face, as if sending away the plague god, "So you have had enough fun, can you leave now?"
However, Athena smiled and shook her head.
"This is my temple, why should I leave?"
"Okay, I'll go then!"
As Lorne said this, he stood up from behind his desk without any reluctance and prepared to run away.
Two virgin goddesses, one wants to have sex with his rival in his temple without shame;
Another one was even more outrageous. In order to assert his sovereignty, he actually dared to rape his opponent's lover through a piece of cloth.
With such an exciting plot, it was really hard for the male protagonist, Loen, to bear it.
He was worried that if he didn't run away now, he would end up being dismembered in the Shura Field.
However, just as he opened the door of the temple, Artemis returned with a food box in her hand and a cheerful smile on her face.
“Found it!”
Loen's heart skipped a beat and he glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Fortunately, there was no one in front of the desk, only the hanging tablecloth was swaying slightly.
"Come on, go in and eat."
Just as Loen was feeling lucky that he had not been exposed, Artemis had already stepped over the threshold with a lunch box and walked towards the desk.
Seeing his girlfriend, the God of Hunt, getting closer and closer to the desk, he hurried forward, grabbed the lunch box, and sat behind the desk first.
"I'm really starving!"
As Lorne spoke, he quickly opened the food box, took out the dishes inside, and began to eat them, trying to finish the food as quickly as possible and then find a way to get away.
But before he had taken a few bites of the food, a familiar feeling came from under the table. His body stiffened and he felt like crying but had no tears.
No way? Again?
"What's wrong with you? Do you feel like crying?" Artemis at the desk asked with concern.
"This dish..." Lorne pressed his hands tightly against the corner of the table, supporting his trembling body, his eyes slightly red, "...it reminds me of the taste of what Lady Hestia cooked..."
Artemis couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard this, and the heat in her eyes subsided a lot.
"I kind of miss Aunt Hestia, too."
At the same time, the slight vibration of the desktop stopped, as if a goddess of wisdom was also touched.
Seeing that his own god once again saved him from danger at the critical moment, Loen couldn't help but feel grateful. He struck while the iron was hot and made suggestions to Artemis.
"I still have a lot of work to do. How about you stay in the mountains first and we can talk in the evening?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
Artemis nodded and agreed obediently.
Just as she was about to go to Hestia's mansion to check in first, there was a hurried knock on the door and Medusa's familiar voice.
"Lorne, there is a guest named Kela who insists on seeing you, and we can't stop him?"
"It's Hera!"
As one crisis came after another, Loen's heart was in knots again.
"She?" Artemis' face changed slightly when she heard the true identity of the visitor.
To be honest, because of the trauma of her childhood, she was a little afraid of the queen, especially since she was the adoptive mother of the unmarried bride Thetis.
If she was caught having a tryst with Thetis' husband before Thetis got married, as the protector of the marriage, the queen would definitely not let her down.
"Don't let her know I was here!"
Artemis hurriedly warned and then prepared to run away.
However, just as he finished speaking, a plump figure came to the door and pushed it open with his hand.
The iconic white arm was reflected into the temple through the crack in the door, and Artemis, who was trapped inside, became very anxious.
"Don't let her find me. Find a way to get her away!"
The female hunter looked around hurriedly, immediately selected a target, and rushed into the only hiding place in the empty temple.
Looking at the tablecloth being lifted by Artemis and the crack in the door being slowly pushed open by Hera's white arms, Lorne, who was sitting behind the desk, felt stiff and hopeless.
Now, it's over.
