Chapter 300 Saint Seiya
Ares Mountain.
After a few days, the diligent and dedicated Loen finally finished processing the mountain of documents.
After handing over some finishing work to Medusa, who was now able to handle things on her own, he walked down the Mount of Ares, wandered all the way, and finally arrived at the Academy of Athens.
Several young and immature students walked past Loen in a group, talking in low voices.
"Hey, have you heard? A giant appeared in Thessaly and many people died."
"Not only that, Arcadia is also plagued by beasts, and the priests called out to the gods, but received no response."
"I also have news. It seems that there are sea beasts active along the coast of Trozen City. Many ships have never returned after going out to sea."
"There are so many troubles right before the end-of-year entrance exams. These troubles come at a really bad time."
Hearing this complaint, one of the students shook his head and sternly refuted.
"You can't say that. We are here to learn knowledge and skills not just for the exam, but to use them to eliminate disasters for our compatriots and benefit our own city-state!"
Hearing this, Luo En subconsciously glanced over and found that he seemed to have some impression of the student who said this.
The young man's name was Meleager, and he was the prince of the Calydonian Kingdom. He was quite chivalrous and was greatly admired by Chiron.
“That’s right!”
At this time, another student echoed excitedly, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he spoke in a deep voice.
"It just so happens that those city-states that have been hit by disasters are recruiting warriors to quell the rebellion, and the school is about to be on vacation. I plan to go and take a look. I hope to use what I have learned to help those in need!"
"Good idea, count me in!"
"I'm going too. You can't leave without me."
Being of a passionate age and eager to achieve great things, the students quickly reached a consensus and agreed to jointly respond to the recruitment and act in a chivalrous manner.
A few young people acted immediately and rushed to the dormitory, ready to pack their bags and set off.
Although there are descendants of gods among them, most of them are ordinary practitioners who have mastered magic and some combat skills.
Even if they are descendants of gods, compared with the gods, they are just one of the countless ants, ordinary and insignificant.
There are no heroes falling from the sky in this world. It’s more like ordinary people just showing courage in a moment.
Luo En smiled with emotion, his eyes showing relief.
It seems that Chiron and his team have taught these students well.
"Teacher? Why are you here?"
The surprised voice in his ear attracted Loen's attention.
At this time, a female hunter with cat ears and tail was wearing a tight suit and carrying a packed bag on her shoulders.
Loen's eyes swept across the bag and the full quiver on the huntress's waist with a puzzled look.
"Ata, what are you doing?"
"Well, school is on vacation, and I plan to go back to Arcadia."
Atalanta coughed slightly and unconsciously looked away, looking behind him.
When Loen saw this, he understood.
"Is it because of the beast disaster?"
"How do you know?"
Atalanta was stunned when her true purpose was exposed on the spot.
Looking at his beloved disciple's ears which pricked up due to nervousness, Loen couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
"Since we were little, have you ever lied to me?"
Hearing this, Atalanta was suddenly embarrassed, lowered her head, and told the truth.
"I heard that my hometown was hit by a disaster and they are recruiting hunters to eliminate the monsters rioting in the mountains, so I wanted to go back and take a look. Maybe I can help."
Loen nodded to show his understanding, then looked past Atalanta and looked at a figure who was also carrying a bag, turning around quietly and shrinking under the shade of a tree.
"And you, Medea?"
Hearing the faint question behind her, the princess of the Kingdom of Colchis, who wanted to slip away, froze and turned around awkwardly. Under Lorne's half-smile, she rubbed her hands awkwardly.
"I, I also want to go and take a look, hoping to help the big sister."
"Big sister?" Loen looked at Atalanta beside him in surprise.
The hunter's cheeks turned slightly red. After glaring at her best friend, she explained rather shamefully, "They insisted on calling me that."
Loen looked him up and down and agreed jokingly.
"Sure, big sister."
It has to be said that because Atalanta was abandoned, she has been very independent since childhood. Coupled with her capable and straightforward personality, and her care for her companions, she appears to be very reliable, and it is no surprise that she has this title.
But it was okay for these words to be spoken by her younger classmates whom she regarded as her younger brothers and sisters, but coming from her own teacher herself was still far beyond Atalanta's psychological threshold.
"teacher!"
The female hunter protested harshly, her pretty face almost turning into a piece of red cloth.
Seeing that the kitten in front of him was about to get angry, Loen quickly turned his attention to Medea who was trying to sneak away again.
"Why are you running? I didn't say I disagree."
"Brother, do you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Medea stopped and looked back, her face filled with excitement.
To be honest, Medea was always a little scared every time she saw this senior brother, because of the tyranny that Loen showed when he beat up teacher Circe when they first met.
But as long as she could sneak out of Athens and go on an adventure with Atalanta, she could overcome this small psychological barrier.
"I can let you go." Luo En said leisurely, then paused and changed the subject, "But you have to take me with you."
"Ah? You are going too?" Atalanta and Medea were both stunned and looked at the main god in front of them with extremely powerful fighting power.
Is it worth making such a fuss just to quell the beast plague?
Moreover, if he left like this, perhaps all the gods from the entire War God Mountain would follow him, and by then it would be unknown whether they would quell the beast disaster or conquer and destroy the country.
"Don't worry. I can't leave Athens. I can only travel with you in the form of an avatar."
Luo En took the initiative to speak and dispelled their doubts, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Now Athena has gone to Troezen, the goddess of memory has returned to Mount Helicon, Themis and Hestia have fallen into deep sleep again. If I leave my post again, the defense of the entire Athens will be somewhat empty.
If during this period of time, someone were to have feelings for Hecate and come to spy on her, there would inevitably be omissions, and the result would be more trouble than gain.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, he needs to seal his body in the sanctuary, keep an eye on his master in case of any emergency, and listen to advice honestly, walking outside in the form of an incarnation, and gather heroes with destiny to his side.
After hearing Loen's explanation, Atalanta and Medea looked at each other and were quite interested.
To be honest, due to the busy affairs of the War God Mountain, they have not been close to this elder who is like a father and a brother to them for a long time.
Now, being able to go to Arcadia together to quell the beast plague might be a good opportunity to improve our relationship.
Then, with excitement and anticipation on their faces, the two nodded and agreed to the newcomer joining them.
Then, under the curious gaze of the two, Lorne brought them to the lake of the Academy of Athens, took out the golden holy grail, and poured the divine liquid accumulated in it into the lake.
"I swear and mark my flesh here!"
Accompanied by the deep chanting, Loen opened his arms and walked into the lake step by step. He did not look back even when the water completely submerged him, as if he was completing a baptism of transformation.
A moment later, a figure with black hair and brown eyes jumped out of the water with a splash and landed on the shore.
Looking at the face in the reflection that seemed familiar yet completely different, Loen nodded with satisfaction.
In order to avoid the gaze of the three goddesses of fate and hide his identity, he added some facial features of his previous life to this body. Now, even if Athena stood in front of him, it would be difficult for her to recognize him easily.
Of course, if this is added, the identity becomes easy to identify.
Loen snapped his fingers, and a mercury-colored glow flowed over his body, transforming into the altar throne's holy garment.
This thing had been hidden by himself before, but now that the gods have retired, he needs to recruit heroes with destiny to fill the shortfall of eighty-eight sets of holy clothes. With this altar cloth that commands the eighty-eight constellations, he can handle the entry procedures for suitable targets on the spot, which is the most convenient.
Also, it seems that Mr. Ma and the God of Medicine’s cabin are nearby?
Thinking of this, Loen unceremoniously took Medea and Atalanta to break into the house and took away a lot of magic potions suitable for demigods and below.
After everything was fully prepared, he left a message to Medusa who was guarding the house, put away his holy garments, changed into casual clothes, smiled and waved.
"Come on, we can set off now."
"Wait, I have a question."
Medea, holding a staff in her arms, tilted her head to look at her brother, whose appearance had changed drastically, and asked with a frown.
"If we want to hide our identity, should we give you a new name?"
When Luo En heard this, he looked at his black-haired and brown-eyed self on the lake. The corners of his mouth curled up and a smile full of evil taste appeared on his face.
"Call me Seiya."
Using starlight as an arrow to pierce through powerful enemies? What a good name!
Atalanta interpreted the literal meaning, pulled the bowstring and nodded slightly.
Then, the three of them walked out of Athens and headed towards Arcadia.
