Chapter 40 Are you sweating profusely?
"You mean, the problem you're facing cannot even be answered by the gods?"
At this moment, the silver-haired girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze became more scrutinizing, showing her dissatisfaction with the so-called refusal.
She seldom invites people, and is seldom rejected.
"certainly!"
Lorne nodded and answered without hesitation.
The silver-haired girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, pursed her lips and sneered, "Oh? Why don't you tell me your problem, so that I can know what it is, so that the gods are helpless..."
Faced with such relentless pursuit, Loen raised his hands helplessly in surrender.
“It’s not a big deal, I’m just curious about this world.
I want to know why when a sailboat comes from far away on the sea, we always see the mast first and then the hull?
Why do apples fall to the ground instead of flying into the air?
Why do objects of different weights always land together when dropped from the same height?
A series of fantastic questions popped into her mind, causing the confidence and pride on the silver-haired girl's face to freeze.
Why do we always see the mast of a sailboat coming from afar on the sea first and then the hull?
Why do apples fall to the ground instead of flying into the air?
Why do objects of different weights dropped from the same height always land together?
Yes, why...
These commonplace things now had a reason added to them, making the silver-haired girl, who had never thought about it from this perspective, feel a little confused.
Aren’t the rules of the world supposed to be determined by destiny?
Moreover, if objects of different weights are dropped from the same height, shouldn't the heavier one hit the ground first? Why do they hit the ground at the same time? What's the reason?
At this moment, the silver-haired girl not only failed to solve the first three problems, but fell into more thinking. The more she thought about it, the more confused her mind became.
Finally, after thinking hard for half an hour, the silver-haired girl raised her head dejectedly, feeling somewhat helpless and puzzled.
"Okay, I really can't figure it out for now, but what's the use of knowing this?"
“For humans, the [world] is also a mystery!”
Loen looked up at the sky, looked down at the earth, and finally stared ahead with a distant and deep gaze.
“If we can explore the essence and seek its truth, and then understand life and touch the concept, then we may eventually be able to solve all the doubts, understand the soul, and reproduce immortality.”
“……!”
Looking at the man talking in front of her and listening to his grand idea, the silver-haired girl's beautiful face was shocked at first, then she came to her senses, her brows gradually furrowed, and she snorted leisurely.
"Immortality? How arrogant! Do you want to challenge the gods?"
"No, no, I can't afford this."
Luo En smiled awkwardly and waved his hands, seeming to be nonchalant, yet also seemed to be pondering meaningfully.
“I just think that the [creation] brought by the gods is only the starting point of mankind, and should not be the end of mankind.
As creatures, isn't it true that the better we are, the more we can prove the greatness of the gods?"
——The better humans perform, the more the gods can prove their greatness?
The silver-haired girl heard this and burst out laughing.
"Your rebuttal is really impeccable."
"You are too kind. I am only stating the facts."
Lorne blinked, looking innocent.
"Forget it, since you don't want to, I won't force you."
The silver-haired girl rolled her eyes at the guy opposite her, stretched out her right hand, and spoke with a light hum.
"Tritogleia, my name is..."
In an instant, Loen's eyelids twitched.
The unusually perceptive silver-haired girl raised her eyebrows and narrowed her purple eyes again.
"Do you know me?"
"No, I just think this name is beautiful and unique..."
Under the girl's dim scrutiny, Lorne raised his hands helplessly and made an awkward confession.
"Well, okay, I admit that the name is a bit long and hard to remember."
"Oh, I see. Then you can call me Pallas."
The silver-haired girl nodded slightly, glanced at someone opposite her, and added calmly.
"Yes, Miss Pallas..."
Loen readily agreed and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, as if he felt relieved that he had solved the problem of remembering names.
However, the little Medusa, who was being led, felt something wet and sticky in the palm of that hand.
At this point, after hearing those two names in quick succession, Lorne was actually sweating profusely.
[Tritogleia] means "the third child born of Zeus after Artemis and Apollo". This title may be quite rare, making it difficult to guess the true identity of the silver-haired girl opposite.
But the three words "Pallas" appear very frequently in Greek mythology.
Because it is another name for the goddess of wisdom, Athena.
That’s right, the person standing in front of Loen now was the real owner of those tributes, the goddess of wisdom and war - Pallas Athena!
That is his legendary half-sister with extremely high fighting power.
Although, Loen realized that the identity of the girl in front of him was not simple. She might be a demigod or a god walking in the world.
But just after leaving the opponent's temple, stealing the opponent's tribute, and still plotting against the opponent nearby, he ran into the real Athena herself. The probability of this is probably more outrageous than a meteorite just hitting his head!
Fortunately, as Hecate said, the [Dice of Chance] that resides in him will provide him with a hidden buff while prompting him to challenge fate and oppose the gods, making it impossible for the gods to see through his true nature.
Otherwise, this goddess, who was famous for her wisdom, would have discovered his identity as the son of Zeus at the first moment.
"Ahem, it's getting late, how about we eat first?"
Loen calmed himself down and offered friendly suggestions to Athena opposite him, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.
Treat the guests quickly, take Medusa away immediately, and get as far away from the Minoan city as possible.
After all, the goddess in front of him was too dangerous.
My negligence just now may have allowed her to discover some clues. If I continue to stay here, she will find out my secrets sooner or later.
However, before Loen could figure out where to find the most time-saving fast food, Athena on the opposite side chuckled and shook her head.
"Of course I have to be the one to treat you."
"ah?"
"Although I solved one more puzzle than you, I don't have the answers to your last three questions, so I lose."
Athena explained casually, and then pointed to a house at the end of the road.
"It just so happens that I'm going to meet a friend. She should have prepared a meal. Let's go together."
When Luo En heard this, the cold sweat on his back became even more intense.
It's easy to tell that anyone who can be friends with Athena is most likely a god.
Moreover, it is very likely one of the twelve Olympian gods.
Although the dice allowed him to keep his identity secret, Loen felt overwhelmed facing two righteous gods at once.
Therefore, it is better to postpone this dinner if possible.
"Ahem, it would be a bit too rude to bother your friend like this. How about just forget it?"
Luo En smiled and wanted to refuse.
"Next time! I'll treat you guys next time!"
"You don't like it?"
Athena squinted and smiled, then her expression suddenly changed.
"Well, the bet is void. Guards, where are the guards? There are people here..."
"Stop, stop, stop! I'll go, I'll go! As long as you don't mind, can't I go?"
Loen, who was being held hostage, broke out in a sweat. He quickly held down Athena's raised arm and humiliatingly agreed to the dinner.
"That's right..."
Seeing the slippery guy in front of her surrender obediently in her hands, Athena showed a satisfied smile on her face, raised her hand forward and made a gesture of invitation.
"Then, let's go, my friend..."
Right now, if you stick your head out you'll get a knife, and if you hide your head you'll also get a knife.
Loen simply put aside all distractions, took little Medusa with him, and strode towards the house in front.
Two updates have been published, and there will be another update in the evening. I’m asking for support and votes for my new book. My ranking has dropped a lot recently.
