Chapter 65: If we are not from the same family, we will not enter the same door
"Why?"
Hestia in front of the door hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped, turned her head to look behind her, and asked with a frown.
Although she is not smart, she is a person who listens to advice.
Loen handed Hestia a cup of the full fruit wine, looked at the half of the night sky outside Knossos that was almost as bright as day, and spoke slowly.
"If you show up on the battlefield, Poseidon will have reason to intervene."
"What are you afraid of? With Nikki and Aegis Shield here, he may not be a match for Athena!"
Hestia's brows relaxed when she heard that, and she spoke confidently.
Obviously, she had high expectations and confidence in the fighting ability of her eldest niece.
Luo En raised his eyebrows, as if smiling.
"Then what?"
"What?"
Hestia opened her mouth subconsciously, but saw that Lorne's face had turned cold, and his voice became more sarcastic.
"You don't really think that Poseidon is the only one Crete has to face?"
“……?!”
The unexpected question made Hestia a little confused.
"Do you remember why Athena left Olympus early?" With a meaningful reminder, Lorne looked at the vast sea at night and said quietly, "It's not so easy to repay Poseidon's favor."
In an instant, Hestia understood the hidden meaning, her brain was shocked, and her face changed slightly.
"You mean Ares and Aphrodite might be involved!"
"What else?"
Loen glanced unhappily at the Stove Goddess, who had only just come to her senses, and snorted coldly.
"Not long after the mess on Mount Olympus ended, the Temple of Poseidon took action against Crete. King Minos has been making trouble for so many years, but Poseidon has never come to punish him. But it happened at this time. Don't you think it's just a coincidence?"
“…”
Hestia was speechless and could only vent her frustration on her unruly relatives.
"They are actually hooking up with each other! Shameless!"
"Ares, the god of war, has always coveted the power of victory; when Aphrodite was caught cheating, Athena stood up for Hephaestus... With these old grudges and interests at stake, plus Poseidon had just come forward to guarantee them, the two sides hit it off immediately, which was almost expected."
Lorne paused, looked at Hestia and added lightly.
"Otherwise, given Poseidon's character, he has endured for so long. How could he possibly take the initiative to cause trouble for Crete if he wasn't sure of winning?"
"The majority bullies the minority, right? Then we can also call Artemis and Hephaestus!"
Hestia clenched her fists and angrily stood up for her eldest niece.
"You're the only one who knows how to call for help? Ares's good mother Hera, and Hermes who just slept with Aphrodite are not just for show? That's it, I haven't counted the ocean gods hiding in the corners of the Oceanus Sea! Poseidon doesn't represent one person, but a group, understand?"
Loen was so angry that he laughed, and rolled his eyes at this stove goddess who only grew fat but no brains.
"Why did Hephaestus lose last time even though he was right? Isn't it because of this?"
Then, he looked at Hestia, whose face still showed some indignation, and spoke softly.
"In addition, Thetis, the goddess of the sea who raised Hephaestus, is under the control of Poseidon, the god of the sea. I heard that Artemis's brother Apollo is having a dispute with King Minos of Crete. Do you think the two people you mentioned are willing to wade into this muddy water for Athena and King Minos?"
“…”
Faced with this ironclad fact, Hestia asked herself a few questions and suddenly became speechless.
Indeed, based on her understanding of her nephews, nieces, brothers and sisters, this is not necessarily the case.
"If it's something that can be solved by just calling people to fight, the goddess of wisdom can handle it herself, so why would you ask for it?"
After a careful analysis that dispelled Hestia's urge to show off her intelligence, Lorne gave her earnest advice.
"On the contrary, only by prohibiting the Olympian gods from participating can the Minoans have a chance of winning this storm. That's why I have to say so much nonsense to you..."
"So, you were watching me tonight?" Hestia suddenly realized.
"You just found out about this?" Lorne said unhappily.
Realizing that she had almost made trouble, Hestia couldn't help but reveal an embarrassed expression.
But as the roar on the coastline became increasingly dull, and the sounds of flesh being torn apart came one after another, the kind-hearted goddess of the hearth could no longer sit still. She gently raised her hand and poked the "guardian" beside her, asking cautiously.
"So, what should we do next?"
"wait!"
Lorne glanced over and answered briefly.
Hestia pursed her lips, looking hesitant.
"But……"
“This is only the first wave of temptation. If the Minoans can’t even withstand this little storm and need the intervention of the gods to survive, then even if you can help them once, you won’t be able to help them a second or third time.
If you want to survive, you must first look to yourself, fight as hard as you can, and then it won’t be too late to ask God for help.”
Luo En spoke lightly, his purple eyes filled with a calmness and insight far beyond that of an ordinary person.
After all, he was a man who had experienced death twice.
Look to yourself first, then look to God?
Hestia's heart trembled, and she immediately came to her senses, suppressing the reluctance in her heart.
She never understood why Athena always took a laissez-faire attitude towards the development of the Minoans.
Watch them walk out of the cradle quietly without hugging them;
Just watch them fall without helping them up.
Now, her confusion seemed to be answered by this sentence.
Children will eventually grow up, and mothers will no longer be babysitters.
"Such a big thing happened, but Athena didn't show up in Crete, nor did Poseidon and the people of Atlantis. There were only these sea beasts that were hard to catch and wandered around the sea..."
Seeing that he had finally understood Hestia's granite head after pointing it out, Loen muttered a few words, then looked towards the holy mountain dotted with stars in the distance and spoke softly.
"If I'm not mistaken, our goddess of wisdom should be on Mount Olympus now, trying to prevent Poseidon and the Atlanteans from interfering."
"Yeah, Athena said that before she left."
Hestia, who knew some of the inside story, nodded slightly, and looked at Lorne with an increasingly strange look.
Did he guess it again? Why is this guy like a roundworm in a person's stomach?
No wonder Athena wanted him to be her subordinate god so much, these two are simply twins cut from the same mold!
Wait, twins…?
"So, are you listening?"
The long, cold question in her ear interrupted Hestia's thoughts. She came back to her senses and looked at the face in front of her awkwardly, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
"I'm listening! I'm listening!"
Loen, who had become somewhat immune to this, kept a calm face and reminded again.
"I want to say that before the situation becomes clear, you should not do anything useless, lest it backfire."
"Sure! Sure!"
Hestia nodded confidently, looking like a good child.
After giving his final advice, Lorne yawned, got up and went upstairs.
Hestia was left there and blinked blankly.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to sleep and get enough rest first..."
Lorne, who was going upstairs, waved his hand, his voice filled with laziness.
"I'm afraid someone will come to treat us to a meal tomorrow morning, and we'll probably have to work hard all day long."
Someone's treating me? How come I didn't know?
Hestia scratched her head, looking confused.
As the figure pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom, she suddenly came to her senses and rushed upstairs.
"Wait! Did you guess something again?!"
"Bang!"
The door was locked tightly, as if refusing to answer.
