Chapter 33 There are tens of thousands of sea gods, I can deal with half of them by myself!
"Poseidon, you scumbag!"
A low roar echoed on the sea, and Lorne on the deck raised his knife with a gloomy look on his face.
"Bang!"
In an instant, blood splattered, and a fish head with its eyes open rolled from the side of the boat into the surging waves.
"Ding, today's blasphemy mission is completed, bronze certificate +1"
As a mechanical sound rang out in the ocean of consciousness, the three dots on the twelve-sided dice in Loen's mind went out, and a bronze badge fell into his hands.
Ship, ship, bring us a Poseidon, or a Hermes!
Amidst the devilish mumbling, the bronze badge was swallowed up by the bronze altar transformed from the Wheel of Hecate. The stationary twelve-sided dice above it began to spin again, finally stopping on the side with three ripples engraved on it.
"Congratulations on receiving Poseidon's blessing - "Fish Harvest"."
The anticipation and excitement that had just appeared on Loen's face froze in an instant. He wielded the kitchen knife with gritted teeth, viciously scraping the scales and gutting the headless sea fish in his hand. His hideous and sinister expression was somewhat filled with personal grudges.
Fish fish fish! Eat your uncle! Rubbish lottery! Rubbish Poseidon!
The blasphemer on the sea cursed inwardly while sketching a triangular Hermetic symbol representing fire in the air. Flames rose up and he grilled the fish meat that was skewered on the dagger until it sizzled with oil.
That series of actions was done smoothly without any pause.
After all, he had been drifting on the sea for seven days and seven nights and had been eating fish for a whole week.
As a fishy smell rose from his churning stomach to his throat, Loen couldn't help but frown and complain to the twelve-sided dice in his mind.
You've cheated me out of so much of my chips without even implementing a guaranteed mechanism. Sooner or later, I'll demolish you!
“Buzz…”
The twelve-sided dice on the altar made a slight vibration, as if it understood its owner's accusation, and then it spun around, faintly emitting a certain emotion mixed with joy, and incidentally activated three silver-gray oracles.
"Trial 1: Steal a golden sacrificial vessel from the temple of Hermes, fooling a god known for his theft."
"Trial 2: Destroy a marriage and arouse the enmity of Hera, the protector of marriage."
"Trial Three: Lead Medusa to worship Athena's temple and defile the sanctuary of the goddess of wisdom."
Come on, if you are a man, come face to face with me!
As the three updated Zhou Changben appeared in his mind, Loen gritted his teeth and felt a little pain in his liver.
As he continued to accept and complete tasks, his fate with the twelve-sided dice in his brain grew deeper and deeper.
And this thing seemed to be able to evolve. After coming into contact with his own memories of working in the gaming industry, it actually upgraded itself in the same way, gradually evolving in a more systematic and humane direction.
Of course, considering the moral integrity of the gambling goddess, Loen had thought about humanely destroying this thing to prevent future troubles.
But no matter how he roasted it with fire, drowned it in water, chopped it with a sword, or was struck by lightning, he could not scrape off even a bit of the stone foam from it.
Even if it was thrown into the sea and then immediately ran away, it would automatically return to Loen and drag him to a crazy death in the world of gods.
I was kidnapped by a dice. Who would believe me if I told them this?
While Luo En was complaining in his heart, he was sensing the three refreshed weekly tasks in his mind, and he felt even more depressed.
This time Zhou Ben was much more disappointing than last time.
Just asking him to find the temple of the three main gods in this vast ocean is a difficult task.
Needless to say, the latter two options of being a Minotaur under Hera's nose and putting on a veil for Athena were extremely suicidal.
Therefore, he had reason to suspect that this cheating dice came up with these topics intentionally targeting him.
Fortunately, I had completed two weekly tasks at one time, so I would have a corresponding two-week protection period.
At least in the short term, he doesn't have to bite the bullet and actively show up in front of the Olympian gods.
But even if these annoying weekly tasks could be delayed for a while, there were other big troubles waiting for him right now.
As the fish meat, which contained salt, gradually became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with both sides golden brown under the roasting of the flames, Loen came to his senses, sighed, raised his hand to put the perfectly cooked fish meat into the plate, turned around, pulled open the partition, walked into the cabin, and put the tableware on the ground.
"It's time for dinner."
From the dim corner, there was a rustling sound.
A moment later, a little girl about 1.3 meters tall with purple hair and a black headband on her forehead came over with a loose, ill-fitting linen robe and her head buried. She exuded a cold and gloomy aura that blended with the darkness.
"Fish again?"
The purple-haired girl's gaze fell on the fish on the plate and she couldn't help but pause.
"This is all we have on the ocean, so make do with it."
Luo En spread his hands, also feeling helpless.
The purple-haired girl took the plate dejectedly, looked at the food that made her feel a little nauseous, bit her lip, and raised her tense little face.
"I want to go home..."
Loen rolled his eyes at the purple-haired girl opposite him, sat cross-legged on the floor, and answered unhappily.
"What a coincidence, me too."
Suddenly, the purple-haired girl perked up, and a hint of visible excitement appeared on her gloomy little face.
"Then let's go!"
"Go? Where to go? Your sister's map cannon blasted the boat to some weird place. Now we can't determine the direction and position. Should we use our heads to navigate?"
Loen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He pointed at the vast sea and accused it, while his dark eyes fell on the purple-haired girl in front of him.
Medusa is the youngest of the three Gorgons and the only mortal.
At the same time, she was also the fuse of the bloody massacre on the Invisible Island.
The appearance of this legendary Gorgon on this ship was purely accidental.
If one wants to trace the origin and clarify the whole story, one has to mention the Hermetic demigod Xiuster.
How to say it?
This fellow is worthy of being the descendant of Hermes, and has inherited his talent for stealing.
——When the Seriphos fleet arrived at the Invisible Island and searched for the traces of the three Gorgon maidens, he accidentally dug up the flesh cocoon wrapped around little Medusa from under the abandoned temple.
Originally, this kind of thing should be reported.
But the greed in his blood made this old man decisively choose to conceal it.
Of course, in Xuester's cognition, he just thought that he picked up the "eggs" laid by the Gorgons.
At most, he would extract some of the Gorgon's sacred blood from it, and after making a fortune, he would squander it lavishly.
But he didn't expect that the three Gorgon witches happened to have entered the stage of transformation of their demonic bodies and divinity.
——That is, an advanced change similar to the growth of snakes shedding their skin.
So, Xuster, who was accustomed to stealing, secretly moved the giant cocoon containing Medusa to a small boat he had prepared privately and mixed it in with a pile of stolen goods.
What happened next was something that Loen was familiar with.
First, he was chased to the Invisible Island by the Atlantean Guards, and then he ran into the Seriphos who were looting the temple at that time.
Then, with some fanning the flames, the Atlantean Guards and the Seriphos people successfully started a fight under his deception.
Then, the rampant blood and madly gathering magic power awakened the other two Gorgons sleeping underground.
Finally, the two Gorgons woke up, discovered their sister was missing, and saw a large number of intruders, so they went crazy and showed their full strength. In a rage, they almost slaughtered all the outsiders on the island.
And Lorne, who was just watching the show on the sea, unfortunately suffered an unexpected disaster. He was fired upon by two Golgons who noticed something, and he almost became the same as the unlucky guy, Shuster, and turned into heroic fragments all over the ground.
Thinking of this, someone who was affected by the incident could not help but start to accuse.
"I've already told you, I'm just passing by! I'm innocent! Why did your two sisters have to catch me and blast me?!"
"Those who can take the initiative to go to the island don't seem to be innocent, right?"
Little Medusa raised her head, and her clear purple eyes looked at the face that was complaining for her.
The scrutiny that seemed to be able to penetrate into the soul made Loen unconsciously look away, muttering secretly in his heart.
I didn't do anything bad.
Isn't it just a matter of getting a wave of gold coins from teacher Circe, shooting down a hundred or so sea monsters, and killing Poseidon's illegitimate son...
Then, he provoked a whole team of Atlantis guards, held the descendants of Hermes hostage, blew up the ships of the Seriphus, and tricked them into fighting with the Atlanteans...
Finally, the awakened Gorgon mistook the two groups that had come to her doorstep as thieves and dealt with them all...
At this moment, Jiandan reviewed his actions in his mind, and Luo En, who had been self-righteous, couldn't help feeling ashamed.
Although I cannot say that I am an innocent person, my crimes are too numerous to list.
Of course, if he knew that he had indirectly betrayed Boares and Aphrodite and triggered a new round of Olympus family crisis, he would probably have to add two more glorious achievements to his list of sins that was so black that it was purple.
Fortunately, Medusa, who asked the question, did not notice the change in expression on Loen's face. She just asked in a muffled voice while chewing on the fish.
"When will you take me back?"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely send it if I have the chance."
Loen made a solemn promise on the surface, but he did not give any substantive commitment.
Send her back? You're kidding.
Things have come to this point, and his suspicion of kidnapping a young girl has almost been confirmed.
Who knows if the Gorgon sisters from the Invisible Island will tear him to pieces as soon as they meet him?
These two with extremely powerful combat power, even if Perseus with full-level god-level equipment in the future meets them, he will have no choice but to run away, let alone myself now?
Instead of gambling on whether the Gorgon sisters would believe his explanation, it would be better to play it safe and first establish a good relationship with Medusa, the only person who could prove his innocence, or wait until he has enough self-protection ability before going to the Invisible Island for confrontation.
Although this will invisibly increase some risk factors, it is the safest method overall.
As Loen analyzed the situation in his mind and reviewed his glorious deeds, he couldn't help but murmur.
In short, the Gorgon sisters are the successors of the first sea god Pontus, Circe is the granddaughter of the second sea god Oceanus, and the Cyclops is the son of the third sea god Poseidon...
Wow, now it’s all done.
Almost all the new and old gods of the entire ocean system have been harmed by him directly or indirectly. For the sake of his life, it is better to stay less in the sea and find a way to get ashore as soon as possible.
At this time, Loen, who was feeling a little timid, realized that a large number of enemies and creditors behind him were sharpening their knives. He hoped that the city-state and land would appear as soon as possible so that he could successfully smuggle across.
