Chapter 335: The Development of a World-Class Loser (4k)
Royal City of Thessaly.
The crisis brought by the giants was temporarily resolved, the collapsed city walls were rebuilt with secret methods, and the repaired defensive spells were activated one by one.
Seeing with their own eyes that under the chanting of the priests, the lightning symbolizing the favor of Zeus covered the entire city, the heroes and soldiers in charge of patrolling and guarding could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves relaxed a little.
The city that had suffered the baptism of war returned to its former peace, and every street and alley was immersed in joyful celebration.
Hercules, Hippolyta, Lorne, the Spartan twins and other heroes were invited by King Admetus to participate in the grand banquet in the palace.
At the lively banquet, in addition to the necessary delicacies and fine wines, many noble ladies with outstanding looks also flirted with the leaders.
A few days later, the God-Blood heroes, having unloaded their burdens, yawned and returned to their respective residences, ready to take a good rest.
Loen was no exception. After buying some snacks and desserts on the street, he went back to the yard where he was staying, took out a golden wide-mouthed cup filled with scarlet wine, and sat in front of the stone table to drink by himself.
As the scarlet wine flowed into the body, the shiny cracks on the skin slowly healed, just like the dry and cracked land being watered by rain.
Looking at the light-like cracks on his body that were gradually fading away, Loen shook his head in dissatisfaction.
Just using three incarnations is already a bit overloaded, and requires regular maintenance and repairs with the divine wine brewed by the Holy Grail. This body is indeed too fragile.
Fortunately, after suffering a wave of serious damage, the giants and monsters did not dare to show up again.
Otherwise, his glass cannon would have to be towed back to Ares Mountain for repair sooner or later.
Loen picked up the holy grail, drank the divine wine that overflowed automatically in the cup, and muttered to himself.
He can't rely on himself to be the C every time something happens. If he wants to use the best steel on the blade, it seems he has to strengthen the strength of the kids around him so that they can stand on their own.
"Aa ...
Just as Loen was thinking, a burly figure pushed open the half-open gate and walked in.
"Hercules? Why are you here?"
Seeing the burly man coming in, Loen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Hercules put down the wine and snacks he brought with him and smiled heartily: "I came to visit you and thank you formally."
Lorne took back the Holy Grail, opened the seal of the wine jar and sniffed it, with a look of sarcasm on his face: "Wow, this year's Ambrosia Mead from Thessaly is the most expensive new model? You must have spent a lot of money."
"As long as you like it." Hercules smiled, his rough face full of sincerity, "Compared to your kindness in saving me from the underground temple, this is nothing."
As he spoke, he stood up and held the wine jar to pour wine for Luo En.
Looking at the sturdy man who was like a lion, and was as respectful as a kitten with its claws hidden in front of him, Loen drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, with a playful smile on his face.
"Even if I don't do anything, you should be able to escape with your ability. Besides, you came to me after so many days, it should not be just because of what happened in the underground temple before, right?"
"And this..."
Hercules, whose thoughts were seen through, smiled shyly, and the big hand that was resting on the stone table opened up, revealing a Gorgon emblem with his name engraved on it.
Luo En raised his eyebrows and understood.
It seems that this hero, who appears rough on the outside but is actually delicate on the inside, has discovered something.
"Thank you for your advice, and thank you for giving me such a precious treasure."
Hercules pushed the Gorgon emblem on the table forward and spoke slowly.
"But I'm sorry, I can't have that..."
Loen's hand, which was shaking the wine glass, paused slightly, and looked at Hercules in front of him with a playful look.
Of course he understood what the "that thing" the other person was talking about was.
——The Leo Cloth from Athens and the recruitment of Ares Mountain.
Thanks to the intervention and covenant of the three goddesses of fate, there were almost no secrets about the war between the gods on Mount Olympus.
As the most valued demigod son of the god king Zeus, and with the constant instruction of his teacher Perseus since he was a child, he has long regarded himself as the sharpest spear and sword of his father Zeus.
In a sense, all the gods who participated in the rebellion were enemies of their father Zeus.
Although a new war of gods has not yet broken out, there is no need for the factions of the gods to fight to the death for this.
But Hercules, who was of upright character, was unwilling to cross that line easily and betray his father.
"You misunderstood." Luo En shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile, "I gave you this holy garment just because I hope you can save more lives and eliminate more disasters. I have no other intention."
"But……"
"For the sake of so-called position, you abandoned the divine tool that could have helped you save more lives. Don't you think you are too selfish and superficial?"
“…”
Hercules was speechless and could only explain with a wry smile.
"But I am the son of Zeus..."
"But you are more like Hercules! The hero that the world longs for, the warrior who speaks for the weak! There are countless disasters waiting for you to eliminate, and countless inequalities waiting for you to resolve!"
Luo En snorted coldly and slowly spoke to the brother who was planning to be a filial son.
"Your identity should not be determined by your parents, but by your behavior! Think clearly about what you should and should not do."
“…”
Under this deafening rebuke, Hercules was speechless. After a long period of silence, he gritted his teeth, grabbed the Gorgon emblem on the table, and spoke seriously to Loen.
"Okay, I'll take this thing and make good use of it. But if you are against the Father, I will definitely not show mercy!"
"what ever."
Lorne waved his hand indifferently and watched Hercules, who was full of worries, stride out of the courtyard, with a smile of pleasure on his lips.
Even though you say no, your body is very honest.
It seems that your own loyalty to the Father God is not as unbreakable as you thought.
Moreover, His Majesty the God King of Olympus is seriously suspicious.
In his eyes, if loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.
With this stain of private transactions, you may soon be able to eat at the same table with us rebels.
A certain sinister older brother smiled jokingly and raised his glass in the direction where his younger brother Hercules left.
At night, Katniss, Medea and Helen, who had finished their duties, dragged their tired bodies and returned to the yard one after another.
As soon as the door was opened, the rich aroma of food wafted into the air. More than a dozen delicious dishes filled the table, making one's mouth water.
Lorne, who was the first to get off work, walked out of the kitchen carrying a pot of steaming mushroom soup.
Now that the situation has stabilized and he has nothing to do, he simply takes advantage of this free time to cook for everyone and prepare a sumptuous and delicious meal to reward them for their hard work during this period.
As someone who knew about Lorn's identity, Medea, who had tasted her brother's cooking, was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable. She immediately stepped forward, took the lead in occupying a favorable position, and then couldn't wait to pick up the tableware and enter the battle state.
Although Helen and Katniss didn't understand why Medea was so excited, their hungry bodies forced them to sit down quickly.
A moment later, the two new people were conquered by the deliciousness of the dishes and began to show off wildly, sweeping across the entire extended dining table like a whirlwind.
Seeing the three people who were still not satisfied, Loen walked into the kitchen generously, added a few more dishes, and only turned off the stove after the three people were fully fed and satisfied.
"Burp~ Really good~ Much better than the pig food in the barracks."
Katniss slumped back in the chair, burping and praising at the same time, her belly was as round as if she was eight months pregnant, and her skin was stretched to the limit so that one could even see the clear blood vessels and tendons.
In comparison, Helen and Medea were much more reserved. Although their bellies were also slightly bulging, at least it was not to the point of affecting their movements.
Looking at the three people with bulging bellies at the dinner table, Loen laughed in silence and then spoke slowly.
"In addition to this meal, I have also prepared a gift for each of you."
"Gift? What?"
When the three heard this, they immediately became excited.
As descendants of gods with strong physical fitness, they immediately eliminated the abnormalities in their bodies through their excellent digestive abilities. They each sat upright in their chairs, looking at Loen with anticipation.
Seeing this, Loen brushed aside the cutlery and used his fingers to draw several Hermetic lines on the table, forming an ever-moving star map, with metallic light spots looming in it.
"Sacred Cloth?"
Medea was the first to react, with a look of surprise on her face.
"Well, I'm going to give each of you a set of self-defense equipment. Take your pick and see which one is suitable." Loen smiled and nodded, then motioned for the three to come forward and choose.
With a hint of curiosity, the three of them placed their hands on the star map and injected their own divinity into it.
A moment later, a high and low hissing sound was heard, and three rays of starlight fell from the sky, landing in front of Medea, Katniss and Helen, each turning into a metal cube engraved with an ancient star pattern.
The pattern on the surface of the first cube is a majestic and solemn Western dragon surrounded by poisonous gas.
The pattern on the surface of the second cube is a giant golden bird with flames burning on its body and wings spread out as if ready to fly.
The pattern on the surface of the third cube is a praying girl with closed eyes and a holy posture.
Luo En looked at the three people and his eyelids twitched slightly.
——Dragon, Phoenix, Virgin?
As a witch who flew away on a dragon and disappeared from the world, it is reasonable that Draco and Medea are mutually compatible;
Likewise, the story of Katniss turning into a bird with golden wings and disappearing into the sky after her death is highly consistent with the image of the Phoenix, and this combination is also acceptable;
But Virgo...
Loen looked at Helen, who was filled with joy, and the golden metal cube with a girl's pattern on it in front of her, and couldn't help but look strange.
The Virgo vestment, which symbolizes chastity and innocence, is paired with the love-brained beauty who elopes with her lover. This pairing is so incongruous no matter how you look at it!
But soon, Ron stroked his chin and thought of the possibility that the Virgo Cloth chose Helen.
Although Apollo was the main god of Sparta, Artemis was also an important object of their worship.
According to legend, Princess Helen was a priestess of the virgin goddess, and was abducted by King Theseus of Athens while dancing and praying in the Temple of Artemis, which triggered a war between Sparta and Athens.
Helen is still young now, and these stories have not happened yet.
Therefore, this little Spartan princess was still a virgin, and with her stunning beauty and faith in the virgin goddess Artemis, she naturally met the requirements for the Virgo Cloth.
After all, of the remaining two, one has just tasted the joy of love, and the other is more manly than a man, neither of them matches the Virgo armor in any way.
But having said that, the combination of Helen and the Virgo Cloth still made Loen inexplicably feel a kind of malice from the world.
Maybe this is a good thing?
It is better to respect and love yourself as a virgin than to be taken away like a commodity and have no control over your own behavior.
If Helen had not intervened, the Trojan War, which would have caused countless casualties, might not have happened.
I don’t know if she heard the unknown whispers, but Helen raised her head, held the latest gift in her hands lovingly, and gave someone a sweet smile.
Loen felt a little nervous and responded with a stiff smile, unconsciously making the sign of the cross on his chest.
Seeing the smile on the opposite side, Helen was encouraged, and there was a burning feeling in her blinking beautiful eyes.
"It's so late, why don't we take a rest too?"
Feeling the two gazes that were almost burning through him, Loen's eyelids twitched and he gave a nonchalant reminder.
"How about you try it on first and see if it fits?"
"good!"
Helen nodded without hesitation at Loen's request, and then activated the metal module according to his instructions and put on the holy clothes.
And at the moment when they merged with each other, the little Spartan princess felt a cool breath rushing into her body. Her originally burning gaze instantly calmed down, and her eyes were clear from the inside out.
Pin that guy down and rape him violently, or let him rape you violently?
Strange, why did I have such dirty thoughts just now?
For those you admire, respect is enough.
Helen clasped her fingers together in front of her chest, confessing herself, like an innocent girl praying to the gods in the temple.
"You and Sister Katniss should each have a room. I want to sleep with Medea tonight, so I can learn how to use the two sets of holy garments."
"Sleeping with you? When will I…"
"Elbow, follow me into the house!"
Before Medea could protest, Helen dragged her roommate into her bedroom with a serious look on her face.
Looking at the slammed door and the inseparable pair of good sisters, Lorne breathed a sigh of relief.
I can finally sleep well tonight.
It’s true that Helen is quite suitable for Virgo.
Put it on, and from now on you will no longer be a love-brained person. You cannot be affected by worldly desires any more. If you are tempted, this holy garment will sober you up.
