Chapter 87 Talking about cooperation in bed? (6k)
Cool!
Half an hour later, Hestia swung the whip in her hand refreshed, her slightly sweaty face filled with excitement and satisfaction.
And when the eyes of the stove goddess inadvertently glanced at the two figures in front of her, her gaze seemed to be a little unsatisfied, and her hands shook with a crisp sound of air exploding.
Bang!
Suddenly, Stheno and Euryale on the bed shuddered reflexively, and tremblingly hugged each other, their faces pale, and they cried in grief and anger.
"Woo, woo, signed! We all signed! You still smoke!"
"Ahem, sorry, my hand slipped..."
Facing the resentful gazes of the Gorgons, Hestia coughed dryly, smiled awkwardly, and reluctantly dropped the whip in her hand.
I have to say, beating people is really addictive.
Noticing the subtle change in the expression of the stove goddess, Loen, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart.
Could it be that this woman has awakened some strange habit?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little subtle, in order to avoid becoming the next victim, a certain evil mastermind quickly folded up the compulsory contract in his hand, took the initiative to extend his hands to Stheno and Euryale on the bed, and put on a smile on his face.
"Don't be afraid, we are all family from now on."
"Stop pretending. I'm in your hands now. You can kill me or chop me up as you please! There's nothing to say! But do you think you can order us around? It's not that easy!"
Yurielle glared at the culprit in front of her, stiffening her neck stubbornly, obviously still unwilling to accept her failure.
"Tsk, you're making it very difficult for me..."
As Loen spoke, he slowly picked up the magic whip from the ground and shook his head and sighed with regret.
"Those who want to live a lazy life are not my family..."
Euryale listened to the meaningful muttering and saw the naked threat before her. She was frightened by the power of the opposite side and hurriedly shrank her head and hid behind her sister Stheno.
As the eldest sister, Stheno glared at her heartless younger sister and had to bite the bullet and force a reluctant smile on her delicate face.
"If you want us to help, you should at least tell us what we can do first, right?"
“That’s what cooperation looks like!”
Seeing the unruly Gorgons surrender, Loen nodded with satisfaction and explained the work content with a smile.
"It's simple. I want you to help me deal with Keto, the mother of sea monsters, so that Crete can survive this crisis."
Then, Lorne paused, looked out the window towards the palace, and added leisurely: "Besides, this is not only helping me, but also helping little Medusa. You don't want that child to rush forward foolishly and die in Keto's mouth, right?"
Upon hearing this, Stheno and Euryale frowned slightly.
For the sake of the humans here who are kind to her, that child might really do such a stupid thing.
In this way, joining hands to fight against Keto is indirectly saving the life of that little fool.
only……
Stheno raised his head, the resistance on his face gradually faded, replaced by a hesitation after thinking.
"Keto is the mother of all monsters. Both her origin and existence are very ancient. Therefore, even though she is a deity, she is much stronger than us. It won't be easy for the two of us to deal with her, right?"
"No, three! Medusa will be with you..."
Lorne corrected with a smile, his deep gaze repeatedly looking at the faces of the twin sisters in front of him, pondering leisurely.
"If I'm not mistaken, you three Gorgon sisters should have shared the divinity left by the old sea god Pontus on the Invisible Island."
As the source of their divinity was revealed, Stheno and Euryale's eyelids could not help but twitch.
But faced with that penetrating gaze, they could only nod helplessly.
"That's much easier..."
Lorne nodded, narrowed his eyes slightly, and showed a determined smile.
"Keto also inherited the divinity of the old sea god Pontus, but compared to you, she seems to be more incomplete. Moreover, I tried to attack her with Medusa's blood before, and found that Gorgon's divine blood does have a strong restraining power against this thing.
So, you two may not be able to win against Keto, but if you add Medusa and unleash the full divinity of Pontus, the mother of all monsters may not be a match for you three sisters!"
After hearing Loen's well-reasoned analysis, Steno and Euryale gradually lost their awe of the Mother of Monsters and began to have doubts.
However, the threat of being forced into doing something and the hidden risks inevitably make them feel resistant and hesitant.
"Don't worry, since this is work, I will definitely not let you work for nothing. I am always fair and just!"
While patting his chest and boasting, Lorne smiled and made an offer that the two could not refuse.
"As long as you deal with Keto, the Pontic divinity in her, which is the same as yours, will belong to you."
As he spoke, the man in front of the bed lowered his voice, his tone filled with temptation that the two of them could hardly resist.
"With these divine powers, the only mortal body and the only weakness of the three Gorgon sisters will no longer exist. Then the child can be promoted to a god together with you, and no one will be able to kill her easily..."
“We do it!”
“Done!”
In an instant, Stheno and Euryale spoke at the same time, their eyes sparkling.
But then, as if realizing that their reaction was a little agitated, the two looked at each other and coughed dryly one after another.
"We are not doing this for her. We also have a use for Pontus' divinity..."
"And, eat the big head!"
The two sisters sang in unison and cooperated very well.
Luo En smiled nonchalantly: "No problem. Anyway, based on Keto's size, her divinity will definitely fill you up. There will be no problem with the upgrade of Little Medusa."
Hearing the assurance from the person concerned, Stheno nodded with satisfaction, raised his right hand elegantly and reservedly, and gestured with a lazy nasal tone.
"So……"
Looking at the crystal arm that came forward in front of him, Loen was slightly stunned, then he immediately understood what she meant and stretched out his hand to hold the soft arm tightly.
The two parties, having reached a preliminary consensus, smiled at each other, with deep meanings revealed in their eyes.
Haha, you think you can buy us off with just these small favors?
dream!
It just so happens that I'll take this opportunity to lurk by your side, so that I'll have plenty of opportunities to expose your ugly face in the future. As long as little Medusa sees your bastard nature, the child will sooner or later understand that her sisters are the only people in the world who love her.
By then, won’t she obediently follow us back to the Invisible Island?
The flickering eyes of Stheno and Euryale met each other, revealing full malice towards someone.
Similarly, Loen looked at the pair of sisters in front of him and sneered in his heart.
Haha, you’re on my boat and you still want to run away?
Do you know who is the real mastermind behind the beast attack on Crete?
——The master of the Oceanus Sea, Poseidon, the god of the sea!
Once you kill Keto in public, you will be directly labeled as Crete and Athena.
By then, Poseidon's thousand-year plan will fail, and he will chase you on the sea like a dog chasing a rabbit, biting you madly when he catches you, right?
Are you trying to play tricks on me? After you get the benefits, you'll cheat me and then take little Medusa back to the Invisible Island?
Maybe next life!
After a brief silence, the three people, each with their own ulterior motives, looked at each other and gave an awkward but polite smile at the same time.
"Ha ha……"
“Hahahahahaha!”
The devilish laughter even gave Hestia, who was witnessing the incident, goose bumps all over her body, and she was filled with doubts in her heart.
Isn't it just mutual benefit? What's so funny about this?
The stove goddess was too honest and innocent to notice that the three men were always planning to harm their partners.
In the strangely harmonious atmosphere, the two parties, who were becoming more and more eager and familiar with each other, loosened their hands, wiped each other's backs carelessly, and jointly and amicably announced that the alliance had been formally reached.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
The goal was achieved. Loen flicked the compulsory contract in his hand, looked at the two silly roe deer that jumped into the pit on their own initiative, and a happy arc appeared at the corners of his lips.
Obviously, my guess was correct.
The reason why Medusa is the only mortal among the three Gorgon sisters is probably because she transferred most of the divinity of Pontus to her two sisters.
Therefore, her growth and development were the most imperfect, making her the weakest of the three Gorgons.
Even though Stheno and Euryale took pleasure in bullying their younger sister all day long, there was no doubt that they loved their only sister deeply.
Otherwise, they would not have run out from the Invisible Island, holding on to a glimmer of hope, and traveled thousands of miles across the Sea of Oceanus to look for the trace of little Medusa.
Even after encountering the Atlantis Guards, the War of Gods, and the Beast Tide, they still chose to persevere in pursuing the case to the end.
After all, this was the age of the ancient Greek gods, where fathers said goodbye to their sons and laughed, brothers were friendly and younger brothers attacked each other, and relatives usually loved to play tricks on each other.
Therefore, for Stheno and Euryale, they would not refuse anything that could improve Medusa's safety.
It was because Loen saw this clearly that he felt confident in inviting Lasteno and Euryale to join his gang.
If you want the palus to work sincerely and give their all, the whip alone is definitely not enough.
A piece of paper can only be used to bind the body, and only common interests can bind each other.
And then, nothing happened.
After eating the bait and being fished out of the sea, you'd better work for me honestly until you die!
Seeing that he had successfully dealt with the unruly Gorgon sisters, Lorne picked up the cup comfortably, took a sip of the fruit wine with ingredients, and let out a comfortable moan. The big rock that had been hanging in his heart since he took over finally fell to the ground.
In his memory, Keto died from the suppression of the evil eye of Medusa's head and the sudden attack of the demigod hero Perseus.
Now, with the three Gorgons on the field together, he didn’t believe that he couldn’t defeat the restrained Mother of Monsters.
Having successfully won over two top tool snakes and solved the biggest problem, Loen was just about to have another drink to celebrate.
"Let go of Lorne!"
Unexpectedly, a petite figure climbed up to the second floor through the window, pushed open the door, pulled him behind her, and looked inside the house vigilantly.
Messed up sheets, messy clothes, suspicious rune chains, Hestia with a flushed face, and the sisters hugging each other...
Everything that happened in front of her directly burned out Little Medusa's CPU, leaving her stunned on the spot.
Originally, on her way back home, she smelled a familiar scent lingering in the air before she even entered the door.
Therefore, combined with what happened last night, little Medusa immediately thought that it was her two good sisters who came to visit, so she immediately decided to climb out the window to protect Lorne who might be bullied.
As a result, what she didn't expect was that she actually encountered such a strange scene.
"You guys..." Little Medusa, standing at the door, looked at the four people at the scene.
"Let's talk about cooperation!" Loen hurriedly explained, with fine beads of cold sweat breaking out on the back of his neck.
Can we talk about cooperation and go to bed?
Little Medusa looked at the messy bedroom and bed, her mind was a little confused.
"If you don't believe me, ask them!"
Seeing the suspicion in the little girl's eyes growing stronger, Loen immediately winked wildly at Stheno and Euryale.
But seeing that the first step their sister took when entering the room was to protect a certain culprit behind her, Stheno and Euryale, who had been beaten for more than half an hour, couldn't help but break down. Their faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and they folded their hands in front of their chests, looking like they were ready to watch a show.
However, as a whip was revealed from behind, the indignant Stheno and Euryale shuddered immediately, lowered their heads in humiliation, and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Don't you want to hold on to Crete?"
"We are worried about you and are here to help."
"Really? Are you so kind?"
Little Medusa looked strangely at her two sisters who had suddenly changed their personalities, and there was obviously more suspicion than trust in her tone.
Are we that bad?
Seeing their sister's wary look, Stheno and Euryale gritted their teeth in hatred, and veins popped on their foreheads.
"That's right. Your two sisters came to me early this morning and said they hope to tide over the difficulties with us and defend Crete together!"
Seeing that Steno and Euryale were on the verge of exploding, Lorne nodded repeatedly to guarantee their safety and also dragged another accomplice to take the blame.
"Hestia can testify too!"
At this moment, the stove goddess who had quietly slipped out of the door paused, turned around, and forced a confident smile on her face.
"Yeah! That's why I came back from the palace early!"
"Is that so? Sorry, I misunderstood you..."
Suddenly, after learning the "truth", little Medusa looked at her sisters and the two adults with some guilt.
Seeing that he had finally managed to fool the other party, Loen quickly straightened his expression and changed the subject.
"Ahem, now that everyone is here, let's talk about how to deal with the third wave of beasts."
When talking about serious matters concerning themselves, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. They followed Loen, the current leader of Crete, to the living room, sat down, and started a formal discussion.
As the main C who was forced to withstand the pressure, Loen had no choice but to sit in the first seat and announce his strategy.
"First, Keto is a unique being that needs special treatment. Gorgon's divinity can restrain her. I plan to leave her to you."
"good!"
Without waiting for Stheno and Euryale to answer, little Medusa stood up and agreed with a serious face.
Seeing that there was no room for bargaining, Stheno and Euryale could only roll their eyes at their stupid sister and tacitly accept their mission.
Loen nodded, spread out the nautical chart on the table, and continued to raise questions.
"Then, the second question is, what if the sea beasts and demigod sirens from before come back?"
"Didn't they all run away because Keto woke up?"
Hestia frowned, confused.
Loen shook his head and handed some front-line intelligence to everyone, his eyes deep and distant.
"Not so optimistic. Keto's huge body seems to have blocked the entrance and exit of the inner and outer seas, trapping many sea beasts in the inner sea. Except for the three Siren sisters who escaped the fastest, the remaining two demigod sirens, Scylla and [Maelstrom], were also unable to escape.
These were inferred based on the results of reconnaissance and attacks near coastal fortresses.
Once Keto revives, these sea beasts and demigod sirens trapped in the inland sea will probably still run around frantically to escape from the mother of all monsters, and then become the vanguard of landing on the island.
Although their number is not as large as the second wave, they are still a bit troublesome.
and……"
As he spoke, Loen paused, looked up at the three Gorgon sisters opposite him, and began to ponder.
"You are a surprise force. You need to take them by surprise and attack them when they are unprepared to play the greatest role. Therefore, I plan to let the remaining God's Blood Guards and the Minos Fleet carry you to break through the beast tide. When you get close to Keto, we will seize the opportunity to attack and win with one blow!"
Hestia listened carefully and concluded thoughtfully.
"Are you worried that without King Minos, the Minoan fleet will lack the power to attack and will have difficulty completing the escort mission?"
"Um!"
Lorne nodded and offered his solution.
“So, I plan to let Her Royal Highness the Princess take over the front battlefield and lead the temple priests and the city defense forces to be responsible for the suppression and support in the rear;
At the same time, the bronze giant Talos will also be handed over to her, still responsible for long-range clearing and keeping an eye on the [Maelstrom] Charybdis;
As for the task of dealing with Scylla and replacing King Minos to lead the fleet to attack, I have someone here too..."
Little Medusa stood up slightly and asked impatiently: "Who?"
Loen's eyes flashed, and he leisurely announced the answer: "The demigod imprisoned in the basement of the Knossos Palace - the Minotaur!"
"But will King Minos agree?" Little Medusa was slightly stunned and hesitated.
"He will agree!"
Lorne nodded firmly, his eyes sharp.
Although he has no formal experience in leading a team, he deeply agrees with the view that being prepared is better than being unprepared and that over-planning is better than under-calculating.
Now that it has come to a critical moment of life and death for Crete, he must use all the power he can to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
To this end, they were even prepared to let King Minos expose his family scandal and invite the Minotaur out of the underground palace to be on the safe side.
In this way, not only the most dangerous Keto, but also Scylla and the [Great Whirlpool] Charybdis who may appear, have corresponding crisis management plans.
He even left Princess Ariadne on the island as a backup, while guarding against the almost impossible appearance of the three Sirens.
Such detailed arrangements are sufficient to cope with any changes that may occur during the third beast tide.
However, considering another possibility, Ron, who still felt unsafe, looked at Hestia beside him.
"When the time comes, you will be responsible for raiding the rear of the coastal defense line. If Poseidon takes action..."
Hearing that she could also play a role, Hestia clenched her fist and waved it in the air with great joy.
"Don't worry, I will definitely beat him up!"
Lorne nodded slightly, his face showing a satisfied and relaxed expression.
In view of the great power of the ocean gods, he was not prepared to let Hestia take the initiative to appear and give others a handle.
But this does not mean that he won't be on guard against the Lord Poseidon who may become desperate and do something desperate after losing.
After explaining the basic strategy, everyone went over the plan again, clarifying and detailing their respective tasks.
Hestia, who was the most relaxed, was bored and suddenly had an idea.
"Wait, what if Keto doesn't come after seven days?"
“Good question!”
Lorne smiled, then stood up from his seat and looked at Hestia with a look that not only did not mock, but instead showed a rare admiration, and answered leisurely.
"This is the third problem to be dealt with, and it is also my exclusive task - once everything is ready, I will be responsible for fishing Keto out!"
"Fishing? Fishing?"
Hestia blinked blankly, but then couldn't help but nodded.
It seems that what he said is correct. The appearance of the mother of all monsters is indeed like a large snake fish.
But, that was also an ancient god.
How can I fish her out?
As if he saw Hestia's doubts, Lorne raised the corners of his lips, looked up outside the city of Knossos, and spoke meaningfully.
"【Bait】, didn't King Minos prepare it for us two days ago?"
Instantly, Hestia understood what he meant, and a gloating smile spread across her face.
~~
“A-choo!”
At the same time, on the island of Crete, in a hidden cave deep in a dense forest, a young man wearing animal fur, with a longbow on his back and a simple face, inexplicably felt a chill and sneezed loudly.
Damn it, is it that old man talking about me behind my back again?
As a cool breeze blew through the forest, Orion looked at the eerie shadows around him and his heart skipped a beat.
No, we are too close to the city of Knossos. Who knows if the old man will chase us. We need to go further away.
Orion cursed as he extinguished the fire, picked up his longbow and canteen, and headed deeper into the forest.
I'll make up about 6k first, which just reaches a story node, so I won't divide it any more.
If I have time during the day tomorrow, I will write another big chapter.
