Chapter 234 Athena: Are you having a good time? (4k please vote)

 A few days later, at night, War God Mountain.

Medusa in the room looked at the bronze emblem that lit up slightly on her chest. She immediately got up and took advantage of the night to sneak out of the city of Athens and came to the familiar dense forest.

 “Lorne, are you back?”

 “Well, things have just been finished.”

"she is?"

 “Atalanta, my student.”

 Lorn turned slightly sideways and introduced Atalanta, who was accompanying him, to Medusa.

 Another one is coming?

 Seeing the heroic huntress standing intimately behind Lorne, Medusa couldn't help but look wary.

"Are you Anna? The teacher's sister? He often talks about you to me." Atalanta, who has a straightforward personality, curiously looked at the purple-haired goddess in a gauze skirt in front of her, and took the initiative to reach out her hand, revealing her extreme An infectious and hearty smile, "Well, it's more beautiful than I imagined!"

"What's the matter..." Medusa blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, her hostility toward Atalanta disappearing.

After a while of greetings, Lorne became familiar with each other. Medusa and Atalanta chattered non-stop on the side, and Lorne's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.

Fortunately, before he came, he praised Medusa, who was responsible for the reception, and planted a good impression about Medusa in Atalanta's mind in advance.

The simple Atalanta also believed it outright, and because of the relationship between him and Medusa as "brother and sister", he had natural trust and affection for Medusa.

 So, the first meeting between snakes and cats was not tit-for-tat but had a relatively happy ending.

After winning the first battle, Lorne interrupted their private chat with a dry cough and opened his mouth to ask.

“By the way, where are the three goddesses of Meihui? How are they doing recently?”

 “Live with Lady Hestia.”

 “What do they usually do?”

"Mainly responsible for helping Lady Hestia and preparing feasts. When I have more free time, I occasionally play with the nine muses, choreograph dances and compose music together." Medusa answered truthfully and made The final conclusion is, "It seems that they really like their life on the Ares Mountain."

 “Is there anything unhappy about Athena and the others?”

“No, they all like the current atmosphere. They also said that Ares Mountain is much more lively now than before.”

"Ah That's good."

Lorne nodded, feeling secretly relieved.

  Pushing the three goddesses of Meihui in advance and testing the reaction of the goddesses on the Ares Mountain is a strategy of throwing rocks at them.

There were no thunderstorms on the mountain, and there was no big fight, which proved that the development of things was still within the range that they could tolerate.

"However, Lady Athena and Lady Hestia often ask me about your whereabouts and want to know when you will come back. It seems that they both miss you."

Following Medusa's additional words, Lorne's eyelids twitched, and he instinctively felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly curse.

miss me? Are you trying to tease me?

 Sure enough, just because it can be tolerated does not mean that nothing will happen.

Lorne realized that the group of goddesses on Ares Mountain were sharpening their knives and waiting for him to return, so he had no choice but to put away his chances of trying to get through and start preparing to attack them.

"It's too late. You take Atalanta into the city first. Early tomorrow morning, I will take her to report to the Academy of Athens. She has just come out of the mountains of Arcadia. There are some courses in human society that she needs to learn carefully. study."

"good!"

Medusa happily accepted the job, turned around and took the hand of her new friend.

"At this time, everyone is basically asleep. Why don't you squeeze in with me first, and I will go with you tomorrow morning."

Atalanta nodded, and then looked at Lorne.

 “Teacher, what about you?”

 “I’ve been away for so long before coming back, I have some things to be busy with.”

 “Are you going to report to work again?”

 “Ahem, that’s it…”

Lorne coughed and muttered vaguely.

“Well, we’ll wait for you at home tomorrow.”

The simple-minded Atalanta did not doubt that he was there, and immediately got up and walked with Medusa, preparing to enter the city of Athens for a short rest.

Watching the two people drifting away and their figures disappearing into the night, Lorne let out a sigh of relief.

 Very good, the backup plan has been laid down.

With the cover of taking Atalanta to school tomorrow, even if he accidentally overturned, at least he would not lie in bed for seven or eight days like before, unable to take care of himself.

And having little Medusa, who is the favorite of the Ares Mountain group, accompany him is an extra layer of protection.

 After all, ladies and gentlemen, you don’t want to see little Medusa’s sad expression, right?

Lorne carefully filtered his arrangements in his mind, took a deep breath, stood up and walked out of the dense forest, blending into the rich night.

　　~~

 Horse Mountain, the Great Temple.

Athena looked at the "Code" that had been deleted more than ten times in her hand, and compared the existing cases, she reviewed the above provisions word for word.

Although many places are not regular and perfect, and are far from the absolute justice in Themis's heart, many compromises and compromises have been made in the content of the provisions and the punishments.

 But for now, these rules are undoubtedly in line with the current situation of the mixing of humans and gods, as well as the basic national conditions of the city-state of Athens, and can be effectively implemented.

 The most critical part of practicing the law is its effective execution.

 In any case, this marks a solid step in the entire era from rule by man to rule by law, from disorder to order.

Athena turned over the last page of the Code, and after confirming that there were no omissions, she closed it with satisfaction and prepared to hand it over to King Aegeus of Athens for execution tomorrow.

 Just be pragmatic.

The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time. Realizing true fairness and justice will not be achieved overnight.

Looking at the altered signature on the cover of the "Code", Athena's original good mood disappeared.

A few words can make Themis come back. A period of getting along and communicating can make the original goddess of justice give up the belief she has held for thousands of years and choose compromise. That little **** is really popular!

While grinding her teeth, Athena looked at the "Holy Dictionary" copied by the goddess of memory Mnemosyne on the side of the table, as well as the "Song of the Titans" that had just been compiled by the Nine Muses and the Three Graces. The original, his face couldn't help but get darker.

The nine gods of Apollo, the three gods of Aphrodite, the two wives of the father **** Zeus...

By the way, there are also Echidna, the consort of the demon ancestor Typhon, my three subordinate gods, and Thetis, the sister of Queen Amphitrite...

 Are you having a good time? The more Athena thought about it, the angrier she became. She unconsciously exerted force on her hand, and the overwhelmed stylus in her palm let out an overwhelmed groan and broke miserably into two pieces.

As the cold moonlight cast a figure on the door and window, the goddess of wisdom in the great temple narrowed her eyes, immediately dropped the stylus that was broken into two parts, frowned and snorted.

 “Who? Come out!”

 “It’s me, I’m back…”

Lorne in the corridor raised his hands and stepped into the door cautiously. His wandering eyes glanced at the stylus that was broken into two pieces on Athena's desk. He suddenly felt a chill on his crotch and couldn't help but swallow. An almost flattering smile emerged from his face.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet? The construction of Athens is important, but you are the core engine that drives this machine. If you are exhausted, you will lose more than you gain."

“It’s not because some people left their posts without authorization that I had to take charge personally.”

Athena looked up at a certain former secretary of Crete who had disappeared for a long time after leaving a lot of mess behind, and snorted coldly.

When Lorne saw this, he immediately acted like he was the same enemy, took out the Holy Grail, and smashed it on the table.

 “It’s all this kid’s fault!”

As the golden divine liquid swayed inside, it set off sparkling waves, projecting the sleepy figure of a gray-haired gloomy young man in the hall. Athena's breath froze and her face changed slightly.

 “Asclepius? Is he still alive?”

 After a moment, the Goddess of Wisdom reacted. She quickly outlined several Hermes text with her fingers, used the power of [Maze] to seal the entire grand temple, and looked seriously at Lorne in front of her.

"How is this going?"

Successfully getting the topic on track, Lorne couldn't help but straighten his back and talk about his series of plans and experiences in a familiar manner.

Of course, in this version, in order to retain talents for Athens, he took the initiative to go to Cyprus to make an appointment for Asclepius, and rushed all the way into Hades, going through all kinds of hardships, muddying the dead water, and then covering up the damage caused by the elixir. trouble.

After that, when the situation worsened, he used the precautionary measures left in advance to retrieve the soul of Asclepius at the scene of his death.

In order not to cause trouble to Athens, he secretly hurried back from outside until he confirmed that the attention of His Majesty the God-King had not been attracted.

 “Fortunately, we saved a hand, otherwise Athens’ losses would have been great.”

Hearing Lorne's half-emotional, half-rejoicing murmur, Athena's face suddenly darkened and she became a little angry.

"Who asked you to take such a big risk? Ten of them are not as important as you!"

 “Well, he is a good doctor and can save many people...”

"No matter how good a doctor is, he can only save the people of a city or a country, but what you can save is the world!"

Without waiting to refute the opposite side, Athena picked up the "Code" and "Holy Ci" on the table and threw it in Lone's arms, humming coldly.

“Before these things are completed, don’t risk yourself!”

“Yeah, I understand. I promise you won’t worry about me.”

Lorne nodded and smiled, then pointed to the Holy Grail on the table and asked cautiously.

 “Then he…”

“Since you got the person back, you can do whatever you want with him.”

Athena, who had previously boarded Olympus to block Zeus, waved her hand lightly, not seeming to care much about the God of Medicine's resurrection from the dead. Instead, her eyes frequently fell on Lorne, confirming that he was not After asking a big question, his frown relaxed.

It is self-evident whether the status of the two people in front of her is more or less important in her mind.

This blatant favoritism made Lorne feel warm in his heart, and his tone became more sincere.

"I remember that there are still many vacancies in the Eighty-eight Star Palaces under your command. Since Asclepius's body has been destroyed, it is better to let him conceal his identity and live in the Holy Cloth, waiting for the death of his body. Reinvention.”

“Yes, the set of Ophiuchus golden holy clothes you designed before is suitable for him.”

Athena nodded, and after briefly stating her plan, she hummed and looked at Lorne in front of her.

"You don't have to report these little things to me in the future. The altar you control is itself the manager of the eighty-eight star palaces. You can decide for yourself who to use."

 Lorne shook his head slightly and answered seriously.

 “It’s all about the same thing. Asclepius’s affairs involve too many things. As our backbone, of course you have to be the first to know.”

 “Am I the first?”

"Um!"

 Lorne nodded without changing his expression.

 Throughout Marseille and Athens, Athena was certainly the one who learned that Asclepius had risen from the dead.

 Soon, Lorne's eyes flashed and he lowered his voice.

“Furthermore, I am not going to tell anyone the news that Asclepius is still alive. It is best to keep this matter a secret between the two of us.”

　　Hearing Lorne's whisper, Athena's tense expression rippled, and there was a strange touch in her heart.

 Only two people know...the secret?

Feeling that the goddess of wisdom's eyes were obviously softening when she looked at him, Lorne breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

It is well known that relationships can heat up quickly when there is mutual control or when secrets are kept from each other.

Although with his relationship with Athena, there is no need to use such tricks to create a sense of trust in this crisis.

 But as we all know, girls need a heart-to-heart attitude!

 On the entire Ares Mountain, only he and Athena knew that Asclepius was still alive.

Doesn't this mean that the goddess of wisdom in front of him is his closest partner?

However, according to the degree of someone's bad heart, it is obvious that this move is not simply to please Athena in front of him, but the result of his careful consideration.

 Because, apart from Athena, whose brain is full of backbones and will not be easily shaken, telling the other goddesses about this matter will not do any good to Lorne.

The death of the **** of medicine has become a serious stain on Zeus. According to Medusa, not only Hestia, but also the Nine Muses and even Themis and Mnemosyne, who were indifferent to worldly affairs, felt cold for this. .

As the chief lieutenant of His Majesty the God-King in Greece, Lorne was eager to pour more dirty water on Zeus. How could he reveal the news that the God of Medicine was still alive and alleviate the dislike of Zeus among the goddesses on the mountain?

Just as Lorne was muttering secretly, a faint groan came from his ears.

“Speaking of which, so many goddesses have come to Ares Mountain because of your invitation. How do you want to arrange them next?”

　　Hearing that meaningful question, Lorne couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

It seems that Asclepius's defense value has bottomed out after explaining the reason why he ran away for so long.

 The next important proposition can only be dealt with by oneself.
