Chapter 36: I can deceive ten people like Medusa in one go!
Seeing this, Loen couldn't help laughing. He pulled the little Medusa beside him and went to a nearby stall to ask.
"Excuse me, how much is this?"
"Three bronzes of Athena."
"What about this?"
"It's a little more expensive, five pieces."
“…”
Soon, Loen had a bunch of local specialties in his hands.
"Come, try it."
Seeing the delicious food in front of her, Medusa swallowed unconsciously, but she seemed to be hesitant in order to maintain her usual coolness.
Lorne slowly raised his arms up with a wicked smile on his face.
"Oh, you don't want to eat it? Then I'll eat it all."
"Who said I don't eat!"
Seeing that the fragrant food was about to grow wings and fly away, little Medusa, who could no longer resist the temptation, grabbed Loen's arm, took her own portion without hesitation, and chewed it with big mouthfuls.
As the different flavors hit the taste buds and brought pleasant enjoyment, the last bit of embarrassment and reserve in the little girl disappeared, and she concentrated on dealing with the handful of snacks in her hands.
Loen shook his head and chuckled, then stuffed a string of roasted bird eggs into his mouth to taste it. At the same time, he took the little Medusa beside him and walked in the bustling downtown, asking for the price of the goods in his hands.
After several rounds of inquiries and investigations, he finally chose a shop with relatively fair prices and sold the goods.
Total income: 14 pieces of Hera's silver and 107 pieces of Athena's bronze.
He and Medusa spent about a quarter of their income while walking and eating.
I have to say that as the royal city of Crete, the prices here are still not cheap.
Of course, there are many valuable things on the hidden ship, such as temple stone slabs, sea god sacrificial utensils, mystical materials, etc.
These are all the private collections carefully selected by the thief. He will definitely make a fortune if he takes them out.
However, those goods are too conspicuous and can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
Secondly, thanks to the gold coins dropped by the twelve main gods every day, he is not really short of money. At worst, if he runs out of money in the future, he can just curse a few more blasphemous words. There is really no need to take the risk.
Throwing today's harvest into his pocket, Loen showed a kind smile on his face and chatted with the elderly man in front of the counter.
"Boss, may I ask what temples there are in the city and how to get there? I want to offer sacrifices to the gods and pray for a smooth journey ahead."
"Young man, you are a foreigner, right? It may be difficult to find the temple in Knossos."
The old man propped up the wrinkles carved by time on his face and smiled helplessly.
"For some unknown reason, the current King Minos doesn't seem to like the gods very much. He rarely participates in sacrifices and doesn't repair temples, so many places are abandoned."
After listening to the old man's narration, Loen nodded thoughtfully.
He could probably guess the reason.
In all likelihood, it’s the Minotaur’s fault.
Under the teasing of the gods, his wife was raped by a beast and gave birth to a hybrid monster. This was such a great humiliation that it was unlikely for any man to ignore it, let alone Minos, the king of Crete.
He was considered tolerant enough that he did not kill the Minotaur, the minotaur monster in the maze, as a sacrifice and violently razed all the temples.
How is it possible to worship the gods as we once did?
But now, I’m in a bit of a dilemma.
Lorne raised his hand and rubbed his chin, frowning slightly.
[Zhou Changben]'s cooling period is about to expire, and he must take the initiative to give the Twelve Gods a full life, so as to avoid being forced to commit suicide by the cheating dice on his body.
Now, we are in trouble.
"But if you really want to worship God, there are places you can go."
As the old man slowly said the second half of the sentence, Loen, who was thinking, came back to his senses and his eyes lit up.
"Where?"
"There is a palace of the goddess on the hill in the northwest corner of Knossos."
"who?"
"Madam Athena."
When Luo En heard the title, he was slightly stunned, and then the historical materials that emerged in his mind made him react.
Legend has it that there was a strong goddess worship prevalent in the Minoan civilization, and the most revered and most respected among them was Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war.
They respectfully called her "πτνια", which means lady, queen, and female ruler, and corresponding records appeared on subsequent Mycenaean stone tablets.
Of course, Athena is absolutely worthy of this honor.
Because in the process of creating human beings, Prometheus only gave human beings a physical form, while Athena gave human beings a soul.
In a sense, she is indeed the "female ruler" of the human race.
However, Loen originally just wanted to turn over Hermes' card and mess with the ancestor of the Greek thieves.
Taking Medusa with him to apply eye drops to Athena was not an option he considered.
But right now, there seems to be no better choice than this.
"Strangers, may the goddess protect your journey."
The old man raised his hand to his chest and nodded in blessing.
After simply thanking him, Loen pulled little Medusa out of the shop and looked towards the pillared temple to the northwest.
It’s just a greeting, this guy shouldn’t be so stingy, right?
He muttered to himself for a while, then looked down at Medusa who was still focusing on the snacks, and forced a kind smile on his face.
"Come with me over there?"
"I don't like them."
Medusa shook her head, her eyes full of resistance.
In the Greek world of the Age of Gods, gods and monsters are often the gods' labor tools, and there are a lot of exclusive achievements and upgrade experience packs for demigod heroes.
Although the three sisters escaped slavery, they still could not escape the pursuit from the outside world.
Therefore, Medusa naturally had no good feelings towards the gods who were behind all this.
Lorne blinked and spoke slowly.
"I heard that the market there is more prosperous than in the east, and there are even more foods."
“…”
Medusa's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was obviously interested.
"There are also drinks. In this weather, a glass of iced grape juice and pomegranate juice is so refreshing."
“I’ll go!”
Suddenly, the greedy Gorgon who was seduced did not hesitate any more, and quickly raised her little hand, with an eager look on her face.
Even before Loen could move, the little Medusa next to him decisively pulled him up, walked towards the northwest corner, and took the initiative to fall into the trap.
Luo En was dragged behind and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Tsk tsk, this girl is too easy to fool, right? I can fool ten of them at once!
Then, Loen raised the corner of his lips, and an evil arc appeared on his face.
How could this be possible? I must take this opportunity to let her know the evilness of human hearts and what true "cruelness" is!
The Minoan civilization should be the earliest civilization in Greece.
Athena seemed to be the most worshipped goddess on the island of Crete, but later cultural changes and integration reduced her to the daughter of Zeus.
So, I don’t need to tell you whose mentality will be affected next time, right?
