Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 225 Eros, he is PUAing you (4.2k)

A few days later, on the way to Cyprus, Loen heard the news from the Kingdom of Corinth.

Their king and city builder Sisyphus, despite three deaths, still returned safely from Hades, and was welcomed by his subjects. He was honored as "the most resourceful hero in the world" by the Corinthians who liked tricks and clever tricks.

Now, Sisyphus, who has earned enough reputation, is holding a banquet in the palace to celebrate his new life. During this period, he boasted to the participants about how he had come up with a series of ingenious tricks, escaped from the strict supervision of the god of sleep, played with the vicious three-headed dog of hell, and cleverly took the golden branch from the garden of the Queen of the Underworld. Finally, with the help of Charon, the god of the Styx, he returned to the world...

As the person involved, Loen didn't mind that Sisyphus hid him and Thetis in the story and took all the highlights.

On the contrary, the more the old liar boasted and the more high-profile he was, the more it suited his interests.

After all, with such a windproof wall in front to help resist damage, he could easily push the blame for the trouble he had made in the underworld onto Sisyphus.

Even if the old liar was caught by Hecate or other underworld gods who were swaying on the ground and thrown back into Tartarus to be punished, Loen would not be afraid.

Because, on the one hand, he and Thetis were disguised throughout the whole process, and Sisyphus could not see through their true faces with his level; on the other hand, the two were cautious enough and basically left no indicative identity information. They also liked to knock people unconscious and then have secret talks. Sisyphus was even unconscious longer than he was awake.

So even if Sisyphus was caught and didn't keep his mouth shut, he could trace Adonis and take it for granted that they were thugs who came to rescue the Prince of Cyprus.

In this way, the blame was naturally transferred to Aphrodite.

A plant-based deity and an Olympian god, no matter how big or short, are enough to take the blame.

Perfect!

Loen reviewed the details of the entire trip to the underworld again, and after confirming that there were no fatal omissions, he gathered his thoughts with satisfaction and walked out of the dense forest for rest.

The outline of the city-state of Cyprus came into view in front of him, and the breeze brought the smell of fields and fragrant petals; the bay stretched to the distant mountains and gradually became a beautiful arc; the golden sunlight at sunrise was gorgeous and dizzying, and the foam in the Paphos sea was piled up layer by layer.

After experiencing the twists and turns of the underworld, seeing this beautiful natural scenery again made Loen feel as if he was in another world.

Well, we'll be there soon.

Calculating the time, Thetis and Echidna are about the same, so they need to notify Medusa and the other three to go out of the city in advance to meet them.

Lorne thought for a moment, then casually took out a Gorgon emblem, activated the resonant interaction spell in it, contacted the three Medusa sisters in Ares Mountain, and explained the situation.

Hearing that her mother had actually resurrected and was about to arrive in Athens, Medusa was overjoyed, and her attachment and gratitude to Lorne could not be added.

But Stheno and Euryale were not in a good mood, and they were still brooding over the old grudges of being stabbed in the buttocks and whipped in the buttocks.

——Because a bastard pulled up his pants and ran away, the culprit of the two of them who drugged them was investigated by Hestia, and then they were whipped by the angry goddess of the stove for several days in a row, which eventually led to them not being able to get out of bed for half a month.

"It was Asclepius who helped you prepare the medicine, and it was also this kid who betrayed you. If you have any problems, go to him. What does it have to do with me?"

Hearing the unreasonable pursuit of the two female ghosts, Lorne immediately complained for himself with a dark face.

However, as soon as the words were finished, the atmosphere on the other side froze instantly. Steno and Euryale opened their mouths, wanting to say something but stopping. Medusa on the side also pursed her lips tightly, with a tangled look.

Seeing this reaction, Lorne's mind raced and his face changed slightly.

"Are there any problems with Asclepius?"

Although it was a questioning sentence, it was a positive tone.

Facing Lorne's scrutinizing eyes, Medusa, who was not good at lying, was the first to give in, pursing her lips and responding in a low voice.

"He died during the time you were away..."

"How did he die? Tell me more!" Lorne asked.

Although Lorne had expected the result based on the reactions of Medusa and the other two, the unexpected change at the moment still made him feel depressed.

As the other side finished telling him everything about the god of medicine after he left, Lorne's face gradually became uncertain.

That stubborn donkey still didn't listen to him honestly and end the research and use of the immortal medicine.

Even though all the samples of the immortality drug were taken away and the blood of Gorgon was seriously lacking, he still did not extinguish his passion for medicine. Instead, he changed his mind and began to experiment with substitutes that could produce the same effect from ordinary herbs.

It must be said that this future god of medicine is indeed gifted.

After continuous attempts and efforts, although he failed to completely replicate the original [Immortality Drug], he used ordinary herbs to produce [Imitation Drug] with slightly inferior effects.

Basically, as long as the injured person still has a breath, drinking a bottle can pull him back from the gates of hell.

Although the efficacy is slightly inferior, this thing can be mass-produced!

What's more, Asclepius is still a person who can't sit still. He often goes out and wanders around various city-states to diagnose and treat difficult and complicated diseases.

If you go back and forth like this, you will inevitably need [Elixir of Death].

And when Asclepius successfully rescued the dying fourth son of King Minos, Glaucus, during a turmoil, such a taboo thing attracted the attention of the passing god King Zeus.

Later, after a conversation, the great god Zeus became furious with Asclepius for violating the order of life and death. He declared that this threatened the "immortality" only possessed by gods, so he summoned thunder to kill the grandson.

Listening to Perfect Dussa's narration, Lorne pressed the bulging veins on his forehead and cursed secretly.

This idiot! You definitely didn’t keep your mouth shut!

What does it mean to threaten the "immortality" that only gods possess? The real [Elixir of Death] couldn't do it, let alone the [imitation drug] that Asclepius had at the time, which was less effective.

If Zeus, the old bastard, could do it himself, Asclepius probably didn't recognize the identity of the Olympian God King, so he was so excited that he thought he could use the [Golden Apple] to develop an advanced version. The idea of ​​[Immortal Potion] was also stated.

After hearing the ambition of his good grandson, Zeus could not sit still, so of course he immediately sent Asclepius to his death.

I thought that a hard trip to the underworld would save this kid's life, but in the end it couldn't stop him from taking the initiative to die.

This stubborn temper is really the same as his father Apollo!

Now that the matter was over, Lorne rubbed his sore eyebrows, sighed quietly, and continued to ask.

"Then what? Did Artemis, Athena and Hestia intervene?"

"Yes. After what happened, they climbed to the great temple on Mount Olympus together, hoping to at least save Asclepius's soul."

Medusa nodded in response but her mood became even lower.

"But, Asclepius' soul disappeared..."

When Luo En heard this, he was slightly startled: "Disappear?"

"Do you believe Zeus's lies?"

"That's right! It's obvious that his tactics were so dark that Asclepius couldn't even save his soul! This old guy is so cold-blooded!"

Stheno and Euryale on the opposite side couldn't help but interject, trying to defend Asclepius, who had a good relationship with them.

Listening to the two people's accusations, Lorne gradually frowned.

Whether according to the original mythological trajectory or according to the current situation, it is not in the interest of Zeus to let Asclepius disappear and create his own brutal image.

First, in the name of the gods' righteousness, he destroyed Asclepius's body, and then borrowed the donkey from Poxia in the intercession of the gods to upgrade his soul to a star, embellishing his own divine power in the sky, and thereby using this power of a healer , it is more in the interests of Zeus to have control in his own hands, and it is also his usual way of playing.

This is how the legendary "Ophiuchus" came about.

But now Asclepius' soul has disappeared out of thin air, neither entering the underworld nor falling into the hands of Zeus.

"Disappear, disappear..."

Lorne chewed the two words in his mouth repeatedly, his eyes were thoughtful, and a faint light quietly appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"Okay, I understand! You first go outside the city to pick up the Snake Mother and Thetis to Ares Mountain, and then help me pay attention to the death scene of Asclepius. Don't let outsiders get close before I go back."

"Um!"

Although Medusa didn't know the reason, she still maintained her usual attitude of obeying Lorn's words and nodded seriously. Then at Lorn's signal, she cut off the communication, took her two sisters, and got up to leave the city.

As the light and shadow in front of him dissipated, Lorne threw the slightly hot Gorgon emblem into the magic circle, looking in the direction of the city of Athens in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly.

I hope things go as I thought and things turn around.

However, the trouble in Athens is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to say more. The top priority is to find ways to make up for the losses first.

For such a hard-working deal, someone has to take care of it, right?

Lorne took out the golden Holy Grail that carried the soul of Adonis from the magic circle, and looked at the Royal City of Cyprus in front of him with his faintly flickering eyes.

~~

"What? Asclepius is dead?!"

In the palace filled with flowers, the God of Love in front of the bed had a look of surprise and regret on his face.

"What a misfortune..."

"Shouldn't you know this before I do?"

Lorne unceremoniously exposed Aphrodite's superficial sympathy and sneered faintly.

"Or, after witnessing the thunderous wrath of His Majesty the God-King, do you want to sever ties with Asclepius and the elixir?"

"Nothing!"

Aphrodite shook her head in denial and explained with an embarrassed and helpless look.

"I only recently learned about what happened to Asclepius. I wanted to help at the time, but the tragedy had already happened, and Zeus had wiped out his soul. Even my own marriage and love were at stake. What can a little woman who can’t control do?”

While speaking, the God of Love seemed to be touched by the sad past, and put on a look that was on the verge of tears, which made people unable to bear harsh criticism, and just wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her with soft words.

"Perhaps..." Regarding the God of Love, whom I felt pity for, Lorne responded calmly without being moved, and then snorted with a gloomy face, "The matter is now over, Asclepius has done it for you and It is an indisputable fact that Adonis died!”

"I understand this, and I will make it up to you!" Aphrodite vowed, looking at the messenger who had returned from Hades with stern eyes, "As long as I can bring my Adonis back, let me do it. Anything is fine!”

He had the aura of his lover on his body.

Moreover, the fact that he was able to successfully return from the underworld and raise an army here to question his crimes proved that the purpose of this adventure was probably successful.

But at this time, Lorne looked sulky.

"Compensation? What compensation do you want! Asclepius is not only my beloved relative and friend! He is also the godly candidate I summoned for Lord Hestia! Can you afford to compensate me?"

"God of Kitchen and God of Medicine?" Aphrodite was slightly startled, with a look of astonishment on her face.

"Medicine and food have the same origin. I originally planned to use Asclepius's medical talent to expand the scope of authority of Lady Hestia. In this way, not only can I help my friends, Lady Hestia Maybe you will look at me differently! But because of your affairs..."

At this point, Lorne's statement stopped abruptly, and then he turned around angrily.

"Forget it, there's nothing to say! Our deal ends here!"

"don't want!"

Seeing that her little lover's only life-saving straw was about to leave, Aphrodite quickly grabbed Lorne's arm with a look of pleading.

"I will compensate! I will compensate you!"

Immediately, the God of Love glanced back at Adonis, who was unconscious in the flower bed. He pointed his heart out, gritted his teeth and spoke.

"I can let you choose one of the three graceful goddesses under my command to succeed Asclepius and become Hestia's subordinate god!"

"Forget it, Asclepius has just cooled down, and I haven't lived enough yet."

Lorne shook his head unmoved and continued to leave.

"Three! The three of them will obey your orders from now on!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be determined not to take a trip into this muddy water, Aphrodite, who was at the end of her rope, simply put all her chips on the line.

"With the baptism of the Sacred Pool of Paphos, and the power of the three graceful goddesses to help you, I can guarantee that Hestia will be attracted to you even if her heart is a stone!"

Lorne, who was walking towards the door, finally stopped, gritted his teeth and turned back.

"If you fight hard, just help! At worst, you will be punished by His Majesty the God King!"

As he spoke, Lorne took out the Holy Grail fiercely and unsealed Adonis's soul with a tragic look on his face.

"No way, who made us the same kind of people..."

As the transparent and handsome figure of her lover Adonis fell into the flower bed, their bodies and souls blended with each other, brewing vitality again. Aphrodite looked at the extremely tall and majestic figure in front of the door, with a heart. Her heart was completely filled with emotion, and she repeated the only words she could think of at the moment.

"thanks, thanks……"
