第113章爱之深，揍之狠
After a long silence, Loen raised his head and faced those eyes as bright as stars, and responded seriously.
"To the gods, the human kingdom means nothing."
He was a man determined to become a god, so naturally he would not be attached to worldly royal power.
Then, Loen pursed his lips and looked seriously at Athena in front of him.
"Of course, if you want me to marry her, I will do so..."
The unexpected answer and the look that revealed a different emotion made Athena slightly stunned. She couldn't help but look away, smiling faintly and shaking her head.
"You guys should solve your own problems. I can't control so much."
Noticing the slightly upturned curve at the corner of the goddess' mouth, Loen breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but worry about himself.
The key to this question is not to let him choose, but to see his attitude.
If you agree, then it means you have been planning this for a long time and have bad intentions.
If you oppose, then you are saying one thing and thinking another, and you are being secretive.
Therefore, when faced with this classic attitude problem that women talk about, trying to solve it with scientific thinking is a sure death.
If you want to break the deadlock, you can only put the blame back, answer questions with questions, and let the other party make the decision.
For example, let Athena decide whether he should marry the high priestess.
Of course, before that, he had to make it clear that he and the high priestess had no personal feelings for each other and that everything was just official business.
Judging from the results, although Athena did not get a clear answer from someone and did not give clear instructions herself, she seemed to be in a good mood now.
"Please sit down first, let's talk about something else."
Hearing the invitation that sounded like the sound of nature, Loen's tense heartstrings finally relaxed, and he felt extremely grateful.
Fortunately, when he was working in that game company, his boss allowed him to add love-development elements to many game development projects in order to attract more types of customers.
Therefore, when searching for information, he had come across quite a few issues concerning relationships between men and women.
Otherwise, faced with one huge pit after another, the car would probably flip into the ditch before you even take a few steps.
After going through many hardships and dangers, Loen finally sat down safely. But before he could catch his breath, Athena opposite him stroked the newly made wine cup in her hand and looked at someone with a smile.
"Speaking of which, a secret cult that worships Dionysus, the spirit of wine, has recently emerged in Crete. Do you have any idea?"
“Isn’t this normal?”
Lorne also smiled and stood up to fill the glass in Athena's hand.
“Music, poetry, mountains, forests, wild animals, fighting, killing, conspiracy… all these things, whether good or bad, have a large number of admirers, so it is not surprising that humans believe in anything.
After all, this is a world where wild beasts roam, natural disasters are rampant, gods and monsters are everywhere, and humans may die at any time.
Since we are living in uncertainty and don’t know when we will wake up, no matter what we believe in, we should just be happy. ”
Athena nodded, as if she agreed, raised her glass to gesture to the opposite side, then tilted her head back and drank the blood-red wine in the glass in one gulp.
Loen raised his glass in return and drank the wine in the glass in the same cool manner.
The two put down their wine glasses, smiled at each other, and seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.
That's true. There are many famous and unknown sects on earth.
Compared to those sects that believe in death, plague, and evil spirits of the Titans and require sacrifices at every turn, the Dionysian cult, which is mainly composed of ordinary people, is as docile as a little lamb.
Their greatest rebellion is to hide in the mountains and forests, tear off their identity masks, indulge in drinking and singing, and release themselves.
As long as it does not shake the mainstream thinking, who cares about the self-entertainment of these mortals who are born and die every day.
"It seems that you have chosen your path."
Hearing Athena's meaningful whisper, Loen couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Not hearing a reply, Athena just smiled indifferently, raised her hand to pick up the wine glass, poured the sweet wine into her throat again, then put down the glass and looked solemnly at the opposite side.
"In that case, I will personally preside over the Dionysian Festival in half a month and enjoy the festival with the people."
"……?"
"When the time comes, I will help you ascend to godhood as promised!"
“……!”
The faint humming echoed in his ears. Looking at Athena who was drinking elegantly from the glass, Loen couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise and emotion.
Conscience! Conscience of the gods!
I had almost forgotten about this, but Sister Ya not only had thought about it a long time ago, she actually did what she said!
If the Dionysus Festival became the official sacrificial celebration of Crete according to the arrangement of the goddess of wisdom, tens of thousands of people would rush to the city of Knossos for the gathering. Then, as the main object of worship, the wine spirit [Dionysus] would surely take the opportunity to gain a lot of faith.
By then, it will be just a matter of time for me to ascend to the throne of God.
After briefly stating the date and specific plans for fulfilling the promise, the goddess of wisdom at the dining table put down her wine glass and turned to look at the backyard.
"Auntie, I'm hungry, let's cook."
"Here I come! I'll get ready now!"
At this moment, hearing Athena's call, Hestia slipped in from the back door and walked towards the stove very attentively.
Having just confessed to his bad behavior of stealing someone's girlfriend, he should give his niece some necessary compensation for the loss she suffered.
——You must use all your skills to serve you well!
The stove goddess swore secretly and picked up the spatula and kitchen knife with great vigor.
"I'll help too!"
Loen, who was also moved, immediately stood up and wanted to repay the generous and kind goddess of wisdom in the living room in the same way.
However, before he left his seat, a crystal clear and slender hand gently pressed on his shoulder, conveying an unshakable force.
At the same time, that beautiful face raised the corners of the lips, revealing a faint smile.
"You don't have to."
"Um?"
"The divinity in your body is still too weak, and the techniques you use are not mature enough. Even with my help, it is not enough to burn the divine fire, refine the godhood, and successfully complete the ascension to godhood."
Athena patted Lorne on the shoulder and continued speaking earnestly.
"So, I specially reserved half a month for you to prepare."
"Prepare?"
Lorne swallowed and felt that something was wrong.
"That's right. I plan to train you intensively during this half month so that you will have enough strength to endure the pain of being burned by the divine fire and the impact of being tempered by the divine nature."
The goddess of wisdom gazed at Lorne in front of her, her good intentions evident in her words.
"Time is running out, let's start today."
Looking at the brilliant smile on Athena's face and the deep sincerity in her eyes, a chill instantly ran from Loen's tailbone all the way to the core of his head.
run!
It was almost a flash of thought, and Loen ducked, turned around, and rushed towards the door without hesitation.
However, as the eyes blurred, the division of the surrounding space was reversed.
In a trance, Loen, who was originally running forward, inexplicably appeared in the empty backyard.
At the same time, a sealed atmosphere enveloped the surroundings, as if perfectly separating the entire backyard from the world, forming an independent box garden.
Looking at the mysterious light runes around him, Loen suddenly remembered.
In addition to being home to many Minotaur warriors, Crete also has the famous Minotaur Labyrinth...
As the great goddess of the Minoans, one of Athena's titles is the mistress of the labyrinth.
Coupled with the alias of the Magic Goddess, it is obvious that this wise goddess who is proficient in both magic and martial arts is quite proficient in magic such as base construction and space reshaping.
"Don't worry, we still have a lot of time tonight, let's take our time."
Athena comforted him tenderly, and pulled out a branch from the bushes next to her.
When Luo En looked over, his eyes widened.
Because it is covered with thorns...
"I appreciate your kindness, how about we do it another day?"
Luo En declined with sweat all over his forehead, his eyes were horrified and his voice was trembling.
"Ascending to the throne of God and inheriting the divine legacy, there is no room for slackness or negligence."
However, Athena shook her head gently, her tone gentle but firm.
"I'm doing this for your own good!"
Looking at the thorns slowly gathering in the hands of the Goddess of Wisdom, and the sharp thorns on them flashing with cold light, Loen couldn't help but shed tears of emotion and gave sincere praise from the bottom of his heart.
——I don’t believe you!
