Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 296: We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio? (4.5k)

Two days and two nights later, the faint light of dawn passed through the window lattice and shone into the messy wedding room.

Lorne stood in front of the bed, gently pulled the silk quilt over and covered Thetis. His purple eyes looked at the pretty face that bit her cherry lips and frowned, and a hint of ridicule could not help revealing in his eyes.

You are brave enough to want to sleep with him, but your fighting ability is really worrying.

Before the agreed time, his newlywed wife fainted three times in a row because she could not bear the battle. In the end, she simply shrank in the corner and could not be awakened no matter how much he shouted.

Looking at the delicate body half-covered under the thin quilt and the sleeping appearance of the crabapple, Luo En raised his index finger and playfully scratched the tip of Thetis's white nose, then put on his coat, and quietly left the house with light steps.

As the sound of the door closing came, the "sleeping" bride's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she exhaled a breath of turbid air as if relieved from a heavy burden.

Finally, I can have a good sleep...

In the silent murmur, Thetis's tense body gradually relaxed, and her frowning brows relaxed, like a mermaid returning to the sea.

Walking outside the yard, Lorne seemed to have felt something and stopped, looking back at the wedding room with the door closed, and a playful smirk appeared on his face.

It seems that it can continue?

But in the end, he still didn't carry out the prank to the end, and started to patrol down along the mountain road of the God of War Mountain.

In the dense forest, several active harpies were arguing about numbers, and the Tome-Sousa fox with a bulging belly was napping on a tree stump;

In front of the steps, the marble pavement had several cracks after being bumped, and the sphinx statue at the corner was thinking about the philosophy of life and the mystery of the universe;

On the other side of the foothills, the three-headed monster king Chimera and the invulnerable Nemean lion were lying on their sides on the green grass, burping several times in succession, and the grass under them turned up dark red;

Under the calm lake, the nine-headed Hydra coiled its swollen body and slept soundly in the mud...

Lorne walked and stopped along the way, taking in the changes along the way, and shook his head jokingly.

There have been quite a few people visiting in the past two days, and they have all eaten too much. If this continues, the food expenses can probably be saved a lot.

"You woke up so early?"

A quiet questioning voice came from the front. A beautiful woman with white cheeks and fine scales on both sides of her face walked out of the misty woods with her snake tail winding around her lower body.

It was the mother of these Typhon children - the snake mother Echidna.

"Hello, sir."

The snake mother came to Lorn, raised her arm to her chest, and bowed slightly to show respect.

Although with her status and the relationship between the three Gorgon sisters and Lorn, it would not be so.

But because Lorn had reshaped her body before and took in and sheltered a large number of Typhon children, Echidna was naturally grateful to the new main god of the Ares Mountain and was willing to regard herself as a subordinate.

Of course, the divinity of both parties is also very compatible.

Echidna was once the original patron saint of grape planting, but with the changes of the times and the infection of Typhon's evil nature, she was killed by the Olympian gods. Now that she is in harmony with the power of the god of wine, the bright power of faith is constantly washing away the demonic nature of the gods and monsters in her body and reshaping her original priesthood.

"Good morning, Snake Mother."

Lorne greeted her in a friendly manner, and then smiled at the two figures following behind Echidna.

"Hey, Stheno, Euryale, you are here too?"

"Tsk tsk, you came out in just two days?"

"Are you not good enough..."

When the two female ghosts met, they winked and habitually turned on the mocking mode.

"Bang! Bang!"

However, before she finished speaking, the Snake Mother raised her hand with a dark face and knocked on the heads of her two daughters, and then turned to apologize to Lorne.

"Sorry, they were spoiled by me."

Lorne smiled and waved his hand, generously expressing his understanding.

Because in that war of gods, he successfully replaced the sleeping Hestia and entered the sequence of the main gods, the power of the God of the Hearth of the God of War Mountain has actually been assigned to him.

Therefore, the three Graces, the nine Muses, and the snake mother Echidna have gradually become his subordinate gods.

With the mother of Typhon's offspring in charge, no matter whether it is the problem children raised in the mountains or the two female ghosts in front of him, they have to be obedient when they see Lorne himself.

I thought that since the crazy woman Hestia was lying down, they would not have to be beaten, and the previous grudges could be avenged one after another.

But who would have thought that the mother would actually work for this guy...

Stheno and Euryale looked at the scene in front of them with resentment, covering their bulging heads, squatting on the ground with depressed faces, and gnashing their silver teeth in hatred, and swore secretly in their hearts.

What are you so proud of? You can't hold it after two days, right? Sooner or later, you will be impotent!

The two female ghosts exchanged malicious glances in private, setting the most vicious humiliation target for the male god.

However, the two adults obviously didn't care about these two female ghosts with rich inner dramas.

"Look, these are what the intruders left behind."

The Snake Mother said, waving her hand to open the magic circle map, and a pile of miscellaneous things were poured out, almost forming a small mountain on the open ground.

Among them were damaged swords and shields, broken armor pieces, dull rings, and even skin tissue with half a mark left on it...

Judging from the tooth marks and residual saliva on it, it was probably pulled out of the mouths of the heirs of Typhon while they were still hot.

Lorne picked up a few relatively clean metal utensils and weighed them in his hands. Looking at the familiar textures and styles, a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.

Most of them are made of orichalcum, and are chiselled with runes and infused with divinity, allowing the user to break their own limits and control some of the divine power.

When used properly, demigods may have a fighting power close to that of gods.

Tsk tsk, isn’t this a degraded version of the holy robe?

Piracy appears so soon? Don't pay the copyright fees to him and Athena.

Lorne smiled jokingly, then used a little force to crush several remaining pieces of armor one by one, feeling the different auras contained in them, and his eyes gradually became meaningful.

The divinity of the sea from the Sea of ​​Oceanus and the original womb sea, the death air from the underworld from the dreamland and the hell of Tartarus, the will of the old gods from the Elysee...

The stumps of giants, the furs of gods and monsters, and weapon fragments with primitive alchemical symbols...

It seems that there are quite a lot of people interested in this place. No wonder Ares Mountain has been so lively these two days.

Sure enough, as soon as Olympus, which represents destiny, disbanded, all kinds of monsters and ghosts jumped out.

Lorne sneered and shook his head, then put the evidence on the ground into the magic array, looked up at the waiting snake mother, and gave instructions with a smile.

"The number of guests who have gone up the mountain has lost so many people in the past two days, and they have not even touched the main entrance. The danger level of the Ares Mountain defense system should be re-evaluated. It will probably stop for a while. You have worked hard. Let the little guys go first. Take a vacation and relax. ”

"Well, it's up to you."

Echidna nodded in response, then said goodbye to Lorne, and continued patrolling with Stheno and Euryale.

Watching the Mother Snake and the two Gorgon banshees drifting away, Lorne looked at the Ares Mountain under the hazy mist, his eyes flickering.

The matter here has been solved, it’s time to go see that person...

~~

In the sanctuary, a cry that sounded like crying and laughing came from the dark cave.

"You... ugh haha... it's so itchy... go away! go away! ugh... when I get out, I will stew you all!"

The prisoner who didn't know what kind of torture he suffered was whining breathlessly, cursing and threatening the monsters in front of him.

However, the executioners with demonic horns on their left and right, disheveled hair, weird rectangular pupils, and gray eyeballs that shimmered dimly in the dark remained unfazed.

"Mea~~"

Along with the long and pleasant sound, they buried their heads and licked even more happily...

At this time, Hecate, who was tied to the stone pillar, felt the uncontrollable itching in the soles of her feet. She couldn't help but tremble, and made a sad and angry accusation against a certain unscrupulous disciple.

"Lorne, you heartless bastard, you actually tortured me in this way, despicable, nasty and shameless!"

"So, is this how you view me?"

A figure came from the corridor, and its purple eyes looked resentfully at Hecate, who was tied to a stone pillar and being tortured, as if he was the one who was abandoned in the end.

The moment she saw her disciple appear, Hecate was overjoyed at first, and then her eyes fell on the jar of honey in his arms, and her face turned dark.

"After all, I put in a lot of effort to eliminate that divine war. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning when you cross the river and demolish the bridge so quickly?"

Hearing Hecate's tragic and angry accusation, Lorne spread his hands with an innocent face.

"Never mind my business, I'm just responsible for delivering the gift to you."

"Gift?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention, these are all given by Melinoe to honor you."

"..."

After a period of silence, Hecate gritted her teeth and expressed regret.

"Evil traitor!"

"You taught me well."

As his disciple, Lorne was joking on the sidelines, put down the honey pot in his hand, and took out a brand new brush.

"No, don't come here!"

When Hecate saw this, her beauty turned pale, she lowered her head in humiliation and begged for mercy.

"There is something easy to say, there is something easy to say."

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask you some questions."

Lorne closed the lid of the honeypot and spoke in surprise.

Hecate almost cried when she heard this.

"Then you should ask!"

Three days! She has been locked up with these sheep-headed demons for three days!

Every time the gorgon with purple hair and rectangular pupils came, she would always brush a layer of honey on the soles of her feet, then turn around and leave without saying a word, leaving her in the cave to be tortured by these goat heads.

Originally, Hecate thought she had gotten into some big trouble again, which made Lorne hold a grudge.

As a result, she was tortured for three days and three nights, just for a few words?

Then if you had told me earlier, could I have refused to cooperate?

Seeing his master's expression of resentment mixed with grief and anger, Lorne quickly pulled away the two goats that seemed to have not eaten enough honey, and explained with a dry smile.

"I've been busy these past few days. I forgot about you for a while."

"Busy? The God War is over, what can you do to be busy?"

Hearing the obvious perfunctory, Hecate gritted her teeth again.

"Of course I'm busy entertaining the guests who come to the door."

Lorne answered with a smile, and then there was a hint of playfulness in his tone.

"It seems you are more popular than I expected."

When Hecate heard this, her face darkened and she frowned.

"What? So many people want to get my divinity?"

"After all, what you have is an [opportunity] that can break through the shackles of [fate]. Who can refuse it?"

Lorne answered slowly, his tone meaningful.

Hecate glanced at her disciple standing in front of her and snorted angrily.

"It's like you don't have it."

"But they can't beat me in the human world, and they don't dare to touch me."

"..."

Hecate was speechless and her face seemed to get darker.

Okay, I've become a soft persimmon.

"But please rest assured, I will definitely ensure your safety. As long as I am here, I will not let any outsider harm you!"

Hecate twitched her lips when she heard Lorne's solemn assurance.

"Then do I still want to thank you?"

"You're welcome, you should!"

Lorne did not take credit at all, and his face was full of sincerity and respect for his teachers and elders.

Hecate: "..."

Lorne continued to add, with a hint of helplessness and regret on his face.

"Of course, compared with the endless destiny, human power will eventually be exhausted. Although I want to protect you forever, I am afraid that sooner or later I will be unable to do so."

"You want to ask how to strip Zeus of his destiny?"

Hecate directly revealed the true intention of this good disciple, looking at him with eyes full of contempt.

They are all the same kind with black hearts and lungs, and they are still here pretending to be white lotus flowers with her?

Lorne smiled coquettishly, took off his disguise, and followed the trend.

"So, what are your possible options?"

Hecate did not answer directly, but instead asked a question.

"In your opinion, what is [Destiny]?"

Lorne thought seriously for a moment and answered tentatively.

"The inevitable law of how everything operates?"

Hecate nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.

"Then why can Olympus and Zeus receive the blessing of destiny and become the masters of this world?"

Lorne narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully.

"Because the Titan's bloodline is the embodiment of rules, it can fill the gaps in the world and maintain the operation of everything!"

"That's right."

Hecate nodded slightly with a deep look in her eyes.

"The reason why Zeus became the king of gods and inherited the destiny was not only because he broke his own destiny, but also because he sent the old gods to the Elysee Garden, established the new order of Olympus, and perfected the laws of the world. And by constantly combining with all kinds of life, new descendants of gods are born to promote the rotation of fate.”

When Lorne heard this, he frowned deeply.

"In that case, he is a crucial part of destiny. Isn't it impossible to shake the status of the God King?"

"But the only thing that makes up this world is the God-King? Are there only the gods?"

Hearing that meaningful groan, Lorne's eyes lit up, thoughtfully.

"You mean...everything has its own [destiny]?"

Hecate nodded with approval in her eyes.

"As you can imagine, everything has its own destiny, but compared to the nearly eternal and immortal gods, most lives and things are as insignificant as dust. Their destiny is too great It’s so slight that it can’t even leave a ripple in the long river of time, and naturally it’s even less likely to have an impact on the fate of the world as a whole, and it often spends its life in silence.”

Lorne heard the hidden meaning in the words, and a realization flashed in his eyes.

"But there are always exceptions?"

"Yes, every era has its own protagonist. Some of these beings are heroes who form an army by one man, some are foresighted sages, some are monarchs who open up territories, and some are invincible military gods. They have obtained the destiny because they can Favor often plays an important role in the trajectory of destiny and determines the future direction to a large extent. If you gather these [favourites of destiny] in your hands and let them obey your orders and carry out your will, you will be able to win. You can also control a part of your destiny.”

Hecate pondered quietly, slowly gathering her fingers in front of Lorn's eyes, with a meaningful smile on her face.

"Gathering sand into a tower, gathering feathers to sink a boat, as long as you control a large enough share of [Destiny], you can push the balance of [Destiny] towards your own end."

Lorne listened to Hecate's instructions, and his mind suddenly became enlightened.

I see!

Destiny is not set in stone and can change according to circumstances;

Destiny is not exclusive to gods, it can also be condensed in the world and people's hearts!

Immediately, Lorne's eyes flashed, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.

He seemed to understand how to fight for the [Destiny] with His Majesty the God-King.

——So next, stamp collecting time?
