Chapter 86 Explosively Killing the Female Ghost (6.3k) (8k+ per day)
"The flower shop across the street has a nice owner. If you help her sell flowers, you can get a salary of ten pieces of Hera's silver..."
"There's a bakery next door. The monthly salary is twelve pieces of Hera's silver, and lunch is provided, but it's quite hard work..."
"There's a butcher shop further ahead. If you two are willing to do some butchering work and don't mind getting dirty, you can get more..."
On the second floor corridor, the purple-haired twin sisters looked at each other in bewilderment as they listened to the man standing in front of the window pointing at the shops on the street and introducing them to them in a serious manner.
Are they looking for work?
I guess so...
Wait, that's not right!
Soon, realizing the real purpose of their trip, the two shook their heads and showed an embarrassed expression.
"We have never done this kind of physical work at home..."
"At most I can just read some books and learn some etiquette..."
The twin sisters, dressed as ladies, looked pitifully at their savior with eyes full of fragility and helplessness that required care.
When Luo En heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Learn to read? That's even better! Come on, deal with these documents first. I need them urgently. The monthly salary is twenty pieces of Hera's silver!"
As their hands sank, two piles of documents, almost half a person's height, were placed in their arms.
Looking at the strings of characters and data on the papyrus and parchment, the purple-haired sisters felt dizzy and quickly shook their heads to refuse.
“I haven’t learned it!”
"Won't!"
Lorne frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
"So what can you do?"
After hearing this, the two sisters were a little confused. After racking their brains to find the skills they learned in human society, they spoke subconsciously.
“Can you eat?”
"Can you drink?"
“I know where the fun is!”
Suddenly, the room fell into silence, and the two sisters felt that the gazes from the other side were filled with contempt.
It was as if I was looking at two parasites who had no contribution or ability...
An unprecedented sense of frustration filled their hearts.
It seems that they are really useless to humans.
But soon, the two sisters thought of their incomparable advantages, raised their heads proudly, and their faces were filled with confident and complacent smiles.
“But we are beautiful!”
"It's also very cute! Everyone I meet says so!"
Loen looked at the pair of proud white swans, hesitated for a moment, and spoke softly.
"Well, do you want to wash the dishes? You guys take care of the odd jobs, and I'll provide food and lodging. I'll pay you at most three more Hera's silvers, and that's just because you two are pitiful."
“…”
The two girls, who were proud of their beauty, had their smiles frozen. From their tightly closed lips, a faint sound of silver teeth about to break could be heard.
Wash the dishes? Wash your dishes!
Don't you understand what people are saying, you bastard?
We are so beautiful and cute, shouldn't you be obedient or take the initiative to jump on us? !
As if he noticed that the sisters looked unhappy, Lorne coughed dryly and brought a jar of fruit wine to ease the atmosphere.
"Well, you guys must be thirsty after talking so much, how about drinking something to calm down?"
The two sisters didn't say anything, they just picked up the cups and drank. They even got so drunk that they simply took the entire jar in front of Loen into their hands, as if they were venting some resentment invisibly.
The considerate man smiled slightly to show his understanding.
"Take your time. There's no rush to find a job. There will always be gains..."
However, it would have been better if they hadn't said it. After these words were spoken, the sisters' faces seemed to become even darker.
Do we really look like we're here to work?
Finally, ten minutes later, the sisters who had successfully finished the jar of fruit wine licked their cherry lips with their pink tongues, still unsatisfied.
As the light and comfortable feeling surged through their bodies, their resentment seemed to dissipate a lot.
"Like it? I'll get you some more!"
Seeing the comfortable expressions of the two sisters, Lorne smiled and showed his hospitality.
But before he could go downstairs, his arm was firmly grabbed.
"Need not……"
The eldest sister pulled back Lorne who was trying to continue entertaining them, and yawned with a dazed look.
"I'm a little sleepy, why don't you help us into the house and sit down?"
Her misty purple eyes glanced towards the half-open bedroom, and her soft words revealed a kind of temptation that made people's hearts beat fast.
"This is not good..."
Loen's gaze stayed on that beautiful and blushing face for a few seconds. He swallowed and couldn't help but hesitate.
"It's okay, we won't mind..."
Stheno took the initiative to stretch out his hand and gently stroked the man's chest, while giving a wink to his sister beside him.
It's already afternoon, and little Medusa will be back soon.
If we keep delaying like this, I don’t know how long it will take.
Faced with such an obstinate idiot, the only thing we can do is take the initiative!
Yurielle, who shared the same idea as her sister, nodded immediately, her eyes filled with excitement as she was eager to try.
After waiting for so long, we can finally play the highlight. I’m really looking forward to little Medusa’s expression when she sees that scene.
"Come on, take us to rest for a while..."
Yurielle held her savior's other arm and cooperated with her elder sister Stheno without hesitation to push Lorne into the house.
But for some reason, their steps seemed weak and staggering, as if they were stepping on a ball of cotton.
Bang!
As the door opened and closed, three figures swayed left and right and fell onto the bed, almost sticking together.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, Loen's palm pressed down a claw that had unknowingly slid to his buttocks from behind his waist. He looked at the two flushed faces on both sides, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"How about you guys go to bed first and I'll go sit downstairs?"
However, the slender arms pressing on his left and right sides were as firm as iron clamps and did not move at all.
The twin sisters licked their cherry lips lightly, breathing out hot air.
"Don't worry..."
"We haven't thanked you yet..."
Luo En shook his head repeatedly and expressed it righteously.
"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake. If there's nothing else you can help me with, I'll be leaving first."
Bang!
A crisp sound was heard, and the fluorite lighting on the wall shattered into powder, and the room suddenly became dim.
"Look, you're in a hurry again..."
Along with the soothing soft voice and a feeling of weightlessness, Lorne was pushed to the head of the bed by two slender arms pressing on his chest.
Amidst a rustling sound, the twin sisters on the left and right sat up from the bed, their snake-like hair scattered over their shoulders. Their facial features, which were immersed in the darkness, could not be seen clearly, but against the backdrop of the setting sun, they exuded a charming beauty.
It was as if in the dark night, two fairies emerged from the waterside or the center of the lake, luring the lost travelers, step by step towards the quagmire, deeply trapped in that gentle land, and finally drowning in the quagmire without knowing it.
For a moment, Loen was stunned and forgot to resist.
Then, the two graceful figures leaned down, pressing down on Loen's outstretched arms on the left and right, as if they were holding prey under their claws.
"Relax..."
The soft whispers seemed like a bewitching spell, and the drooping heads unknowingly approached both sides of Loen's neck.
In the dim light of the setting sun, the sisters slightly opened their mouths, revealing their sharp white fangs.
He smells so good.
“Ahem…”
With a faint murmur, the man who was pushed down on the bed by the host gave a slight dry cough and asked with some curiosity, his eyes flickering.
"By the way, are all Gorgons so proactive?"
“……!”
In an instant, the sisters on both sides stiffened, immediately retracted their exposed fangs, raised their heads and revealed innocent expressions.
"What are you talking about?"
"not understand……"
Luo En looked at the two identical delicate faces in front of him, with a playful smile in his eyes.
"[Daughter of Strength] Stheno, [Daughter of Flight] Euryale, the first two of the three Gorgon sisters? Could it be that I remembered it wrongly?"
“I was discovered…”
Stheno frowned as he examined the man in front of him and snorted in displeasure.
However, then, the eldest sister among the Gorgons, looking at the little white mouse under her claws that had been tossed around for a long time but could not escape from her palm, a hint of joy appeared at the corners of her lips, and she whispered softly.
"But what if you are found out? Can you escape? Can you count on my stupid sister?"
"Haha, we waited for her to go out before we came here. According to the time, it will take at least half an hour for her to come back. No one can save you now!"
Euryale had a smug look on her face and unceremoniously put an end to Lorne's idea of waiting for reinforcements.
"Yeah, I'm alone...
Lorne glanced out the window and answered angrily.
"Hehe, who made you so lustful that you came over here obediently? You knew it was us, but you still brought us into the house!"
Yurielle lowered her head and snorted coldly. At the same time, her slender hands burst out with brute force like iron clamps. The corners of her rosy mouth curled up sinisterly, and a pair of white fangs were already on the man's carotid artery.
There's nothing I can do, he smells so good.
Take a taste first, a small sip...
However, just as Yurielle was about to tear open the flesh and taste the blood of her prey, a meaningful whisper came to her ears.
"But, you seem to be left alone..."
"Bang!"
In an instant, a powerful and strange force came like a landslide and tsunami, accompanied by the violent groaning of the bed and a dizzying feeling. Yurielle was caught off guard and was pressed down on the bed by the figure that suddenly burst out with a ball of red and black light.
At the same time, a magnetic and teasing voice echoed in the ears of the Gorgon.
"So, do you think that now that I know your identities, I will not prepare anything?"
“……!”
Seeing his sister being restrained without any warning, Stheno on the other side's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously urged his divine power to try to regain control.
“Buzz!”
However, accompanied by a vast ether resonance, Stheno fell on the bed as if under a heavy pressure.
How is that possible! He is only a demigod!
Seeing the right palm that pressed her down with a backhand, it seemed to have a tremendous force, forming an unshakable suppressive force on her body. This scene made Stheno, who had a high opinion of himself, unbelievable.
"Tsk, I really don't know whether you are confident or arrogant. Now that I have recognized you, how can you still think that you are the hunter who controls everything? Both of you?"
Bathed in the sunset, Loen slowly raised the corners of his lips, his smile exuding a hint of eeriness and mockery.
The sudden turn for the worse made the two of them realize the problem.
“You did it on purpose!”
"Yeah, that's right!"
Lorne nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
"Then as a reward, we can continue what we have not finished. This time no one else will disturb us. Watch carefully and learn well."
At this moment, a figure as dark as ink in the darkness pressed down inch by inch on the two Gorgons who were unable to move.
It’s over…
We are going to be tainted by this shameless bastard. We are no longer clean...
The two Gorgons felt the burning breath on their skin and the restless heartbeats coming from their chests, and their faces turned pale and they looked terrified.
But the more he tried to resist, the more intense the burning sensation in his body became, and his body became softer and softer, as if his strength had been drained away by something, and the surging magic power could not shake the terrible oppressive force on his body.
The more I think about it, the more anxious I become, and the angrier I get.
Finally, the Gorgons could endure it no longer.
"Woo woo, you bully us, we're going to tell Medusa!"
“…”
Looking at the two Gorgons who had wanted to eat him alive before, now looking like victims and crying with their mouths pouted, Loen was suddenly speechless.
Got fooled! Good opportunity!
However, as Loen relaxed his mind, the weak-looking snake-haired banshees who were being held down suddenly had a faint light in their eyes, and their faces were filled with murderous intent, revealing a vicious sneer, and surging blood and energy burst out from their bodies.
Buzz!
But at the same time, twisted runes appeared one after another on the roof, walls, floor, etc., and the crisscrossing and flickering halos of light washed away, forming a sticky and heavy feeling of oppression.
Immediately afterwards, the two Gorgon sisters who were about to turn over and become the masters suddenly felt their hands and feet stiffen, and their limbs were tied and pulled outward by the sudden strange force.
In just a moment, Stheno and Euryale, who had just broken free, were tied up tightly again by dense red and black rune chains and hung in the air, like two powerless butterflies flapping on a spider web.
"Suppressing spell. Didn't expect that, did you two?"
At this moment, Loen slowly sat up from the bed, looked at the two Gorgons hanging in front of him with amusement, and explained with a smile.
"Haha, I dare to get into your bed. Do you really think I'm just prepared like before?"
The two Gorgons found that they had been tricked from beginning to end, pursed their cherry lips, frowned their pretty faces, and couldn't help feeling sore in their noses.
It's too much to treat two ladies like this!
After a series of extreme tugs of war, Loen, who had successfully trapped the pair of female ghosts once again, was in a very good mood and laughed even more happily.
At the same time, he raised his hand and a long purple-red whip condensed into a fist appeared in his empty palm.
You guys have had your fun, it’s my turn!
Now, it's time for education! The female ghost is miserable!
“Pah pah pah pah!”
After a moment, before the two Gorgons hanging in the air could react, crisp air explosions sounded one after another. After a brief numbness, waves of burning pain came from their buttocks.
Stheno and Euryale were stunned at first, then suddenly woke up as if from a dream, their silver teeth creaked, their scarlet eyes seemed to spit fire, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, they fought back with their teeth and claws.
"You bastard, you dare to hit us! Once we get out, you'll be dead!"
“Pah!”
"Hiss, bastard, we will remember this grudge."
“Pah, pah, pah!”
"Oh, how can you treat two ladies like this? Let us go first and we can make peace..."
“Pah pah pah pah!”
"I……"
Stheno and Euryale gasped with their teeth bared, their necks stiff, expressions of grief and indignation, their teeth gnashing as if they wished they could tear two ounces of flesh off some bastard's body.
But when their eyes touched that smiling face and got closer, the two small bodies hanging in the air trembled as if conditioned reflex.
They felt that there was almost no good skin left on their buttocks.
Under the repeated righteous whipping, the two Gorgons finally succumbed to the tyranny of the opposite side, pursed their lips, and lowered their proud heads obediently like two innocent girls who had suffered great pain and sorrow. There was even a hint of grievance in their sad and angry tones.
"I...we know we were wrong. We shouldn't have lied to you or had any ideas about you..."
Lorne nodded, smiling brightly, and then...
Bang bang bang bang!
"We've already apologized, why are you still hitting me? And... you're even more violent than last time!"
After being beaten again, Stheno and Euryale were stunned for a while. It took them a long time to react and they couldn't help feeling sad and angry.
Lorne spread his hands, blinked innocently, and smiled kindly.
"Actually, I still prefer your rebellious side. How about you recover and start over?"
“…”
Stheno and Yurielle suddenly felt the blood rushing to their heads, and they wished they could break free from their restraints immediately and cut this bastard in front of them who was clearly trying to trick them into pieces!
No, one hundred dollars!
Looking at these two Gorgons who seemed to have suffered a great injustice, Loen smiled, his eyes calm and without any mercy.
"If I didn't have the ability to protect myself and had a few more careful thoughts, I would probably be pinned to the bed by you guys, having my blood sucked out and tortured, and then wait for little Medusa to come home and throw a basin of dirty water on me. By then, my fate wouldn't necessarily be much better than yours.
So, accept the loss and don’t act like a victim.”
Faced with this indisputable fact, Stheno and Euryale were suddenly speechless and pursed their lips.
After a moment's silence, the two female ghosts regained their proud posture, with resolute expressions on their faces. They raised their heads and glared fiercely at Lorne in front of the bed.
"You'd better kill us quickly, otherwise we'll make you suffer when we get out!"
"Kill you? How could that be possible? We are all so familiar with each other. Fighting and killing will only hurt feelings."
Loen shook his head repeatedly, then took out a scroll with Hermetic writing and the snake-shaped mark of Athena on the edge, and slowly spread it out.
"Aren't you looking for a job? Be good, as long as you are willing to sign this contract and work for me and the city of Knossos for a few years, we will be even."
Before, these two Gorgons wanted to use charm to turn him into a vassal who would obey their orders. If it weren't for the bracelet that Athena gave him, he would probably have become a blood bag for these two women.
Now, his calculations were even better. He planned to turn these two Palu who came to his doorstep into tool snakes to break the impasse, which was in line with the old saying that "everything changes with time".
After all, you have to pay for what you have done.
In fact, this was exactly the real purpose of Lorne's decision to half-heartedly play this drama with these two Gorgons.
These two Gorgons are different from the simple-minded little Medusa. They have bad personalities and a lot of social experience. They are not as easy to fool as the latter. They are willing to honestly integrate into human society and believe in the good side of human nature.
Now, in order to bring back their sister, they have sneaked into the city of Knossos. If they are not dealt with, it will definitely be a huge disaster.
Moreover, the complicated relationship between the three sisters also forced Loen to consider carefully.
To be on the safe side, the safest strategy is to use some tricks to lure these two beautiful snakes into the trap first.
However, as if they were very angry about their own failure, the two Gorgons were filled with anger and refused to surrender.
Asking them to work for the human opposite? What a joke!
Loen was not angry. He picked up the whip with a smile and prepared to carry out re-education.
"Wait a minute, I...we need to think about this carefully..."
Stheno and Euryale, who had been feeling quite brave, were suddenly frightened when they saw someone approaching with ill intentions. Their faces turned pale and even their voices began to stutter and tremble.
Loen smiled brightly, his eyes full of encouragement, and the long whip in his hand, which was gathering magic power, crackled.
"It's okay. You can take your time to think about it. Just hold on. We have plenty of time. At worst, I can let little Medusa go on patrol tonight..."
Asshole, how can you persuade people like that!
Hearing the "friendly" comfort, Stheno felt like crying but had no tears.
When their attempt to delay time and wait for little Medusa to return was exposed by the enemy, their only remaining hope was shattered.
"Stop! We..."
Soon, Euryale and Stheno, who could no longer withstand the pressure, were about to bow their heads and accept their fate when they heard a dull sound of the bed below, and a dusty figure crawled out from under the bed, protesting indignantly.
"Hey, are you guys done yet? I've been lying under the bed all day!"
For a moment, seeing the black-haired girl who suddenly appeared before them and the majestic divine power in her body, Stheno and Euryale's minds raced and they couldn't help but understand everything.
"It's you!"
"What else?"
Hearing this, Hestia turned around and looked at the two Gorgons hanging in the air, puffed out her proud chest, and rarely showed the full majesty of the goddess of the hearth.
"If I hadn't helped, how could he, a demigod, suppress the two gods who inherited the divinity of Pontus?"
really!
Stheno and Euryale realized that the small ditch where the boat capsized seemed to be shallower than expected, and immediately looked at Lorne, who was acting like a bully, with resentment.
Seeing that the awe and submission that the two Gorgons had been taught by the whip had disappeared, and only overflowing resentment and grief remained in their hearts, Loen looked at Hestia with resentment.
"Can't you just stay under the bed for a while?"
"cannot!"
Hestia crossed her arms over her chest, turned her head away angrily, and showed an uncooperative attitude.
It was agreed that the sacrifice was to save the island of Crete, and she foolishly believed it.
As a result, after she went out, she came back and hid under the bed, eating dust all day long, while I was having a great time!
After listening to the hearth goddess at the foot of the bed for several hours, she glanced at the two gorgons hanging in the air and a guy holding a whip, and couldn't help cursing inwardly.
Bah, you bastards!
"Angry?"
"No!"
"Isn't that a bit unhappy?"
“A little bit…”
"Do you want to vent your anger?"
"think!"
Hearing Hestia's gradually undisguised annoyance, Lorne showed a subtle smile on his face and raised his right hand.
"Here, try this!"
As her hand sank, the Hearth Goddess looked at the whip inscribed with spells in her hand, and her gaze involuntarily shifted to the two Gorgons hanging in the air. She subconsciously licked her dry lips with her pink tongue, and a flickering flame ignited in her eyes.
Suddenly, Stheno and Euryale, who thought they had escaped, shivered uncontrollably, hugged each other tightly, and let out an uncontrollable cry.
I won’t divide the chapters into long parts, so you can enjoy reading them.
Treating these two is like feeding a hawk, you can't easily have any sympathy for them.
