Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 319 Madam, sleep well, don't look back (4.6k)

The next morning, the twin brothers who successfully eradicated the beast nest in the mountain returned to the city with their team.

After successfully handling a series of handovers, the two of them walked home with snacks bought from the street, talking and laughing.

However, before entering the door, sister Helen rushed out of the door and rushed into the arms of the two brothers like a swallow, crying in her throat.

"Brother..."

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the sister's swollen eyes, the two looked stunned and asked hurriedly.

Helen pointed to the courtyard covered by the light pattern behind her, and her face was full of grief and anger when she wanted to say something several times.

"They..."

The two brothers couldn't help but lean forward and subconsciously felt the strange vibration of the ground and the excitement of some kind of magic blending coming from the courtyard.

The familiar melody made the two brothers who had tasted human affairs couldn't help but reveal a teasing expression.

Great, they actually got together while we were out.

But, just do it, you guys are making too much noise, right?

Looking at the thick layers of magic barriers in front of them, the two brothers were shocked, and looked at their sister who seemed to be forced to stay up all night to watch, and couldn't help but secretly complain about the three unruly people in the yard.

Look how scared my child is...

"It's a small matter, don't worry about them!"

"Haven't you eaten yet? We'll take you to the street for a good meal."

The two brothers talked to each other, and then they took their aggrieved sister to the busy street market, ready to fill her wounded heart with food.

Helen, who was coaxed and dragged away, looked at the two brothers who had no idea what the problem was, and her heart was extremely angry.

Eat, eat, eat, what to eat? The house is almost gone!

The three chances that were originally exclusive to me were used up by the thief inside twice in advance.

What's even more hateful is that three people were doing this, but they left me alone and made such a big noise that I had to watch it all night long!

Too much, too much!

Fortunately, the love from the two brothers made Helen somewhat less resentful.

"Come on, come on, are you starving? Eat more."

"This steamed lamb and roasted pigeon taste good, try them."

With the comfort of her brothers, Helen turned her grief into appetite, gnashing her teeth and biting fiercely at the lamb chops and pigeon meat on the plate.

From yesterday morning till now, she hasn't had a hot meal yet.

Instead, the two people in the yard ate her full... in every sense...

Just as Helen was getting into the mood and began to enjoy the original taste of the food, her eldest brother Castor, who had finished eating before her, threw down the bones and clapped his hands to remind her.

"Eat quickly, after we finish we still have to go to the Moon Temple and the Royal Palace."

"Why?"

"According to this, I don't know how long they will continue to make trouble. Since they haven't shown up for such a long time, of course I have to find a reason to cover it up for them."

Pollux answered casually, turned around and smiled at his brother who was in tune with him. The same playful look appeared in his eyes, and it felt like they were covering up for their former bad friend in front of their parents and elders.

Snap~

The large lamb chop that Helen was chewing fell into the plate, and her miserable little face turned black like the bottom of the pot.

Give them opportunities, give them housing, and even give them the people they like.

Finally, when they are happy, I have to run errands to cover up for them?

The girl looked down at the half-eaten lamb chop on the plate and pursed her lips.

She felt that her teeth seemed to itch again...

~~

The beasts in the deep mountains of Arcadia seemed to be on the rise again, but Queen Atalanta had already gone with her friends to the mountains to hunt and chase.

Both the Moon Temple and the royal palace were accustomed to the news brought by the twin brothers.

Their queen always liked to be alone. She had gone deep into the mountains where beasts were rampant several times and destroyed the beast nests one by one. It was not surprising that she was doing something similar now.

Even without Atalanta, the leader in the literal sense, the various forces in Arcadia City, which had experienced many beast disasters, had long been able to operate on their own and maintain the basic order in the city.

In this way, three or five days passed, and the royal city was as stable as before, and even no vicious cases occurred.

The only abnormal thing was that strange vibrations were heard from time to time under the houses in the southeast of the city.

After seven days, the twin brothers, who came to report to Queen Clymene as usual, could not stand it.

The two looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman in the garden who had a gentle and elegant face and was talking happily with Queen Clymene. They felt like thorns in their backs for some reason and couldn't help but wail in their hearts.

Brother Lao, it's been seven days, haven't you been tossed enough?

Please, come out quickly! Someone is looking for you! This seems to be a god!

Seeing that the conversation between the queen and the middle-aged beautiful woman ended, the two brothers who saw some clues outside the door were hesitating whether to bite the bullet and go in, when a heavenly voice came from behind.

"Is she going to see me?"

The twin brothers heard the words and looked at Lorne who appeared behind them in surprise, and nodded hurriedly.

"Brother, you finally went out. Do you know that she has been waiting for you in the palace for most of the day! If you and the two of them don't show up again, we are going to rush to the yard to drag you out of the gentle country."

"Thank you for your hard work..."

Lorne knew he was in the wrong, so he patted the twin brothers on the shoulders and expressed his thanks with a dry smile.

"If you have anything to do, go ahead and leave it to me."

The twin brothers nodded, and then looked at Lorne's empty back, looking surprised.

"By the way, why is it just you and the two of them?"

"Uh, I didn't get up..."

"Then let Helen wake them up? There seems to be a god on the other side, which is not easy to deal with."

"Well, they are either sleeping or fainting. They won't be able to wake up for a while..."

Lorne spoke quietly, looking a little embarrassed.

After hearing this, the twin brothers were silent for a while, then they all gave a thumbs up, and subconsciously looked between someone's legs, muttering to themselves.

Feeling dizzy? Such an animal?

Sensing the strange looks in the eyes of the two brothers, Lorne immediately understood that they were thinking wrongly, but it was difficult to speak directly.

After all, you can't say that this is the sequelae of the power of love exerting too much force, you can't do it, right?

After pinching his nose and accepting the blame, Lorne watched the two brothers walk out of sight, then calmed down a little, got up and walked into the garden to start the formal meeting.

At this time, the visiting beautiful middle-aged woman had finished her chat and was sitting in the pavilion with Queen Chrymene, tasting sweet and delicious honey wine and exquisite snacks.

Lorne walked through the path covered with branches and vines, came to the tea table, and got straight to the point.

"Madam, I heard that you want to see me?"

The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled and nodded, looked up and down at Lorne before her, and spoke softly.

"Let's talk, little Dionysus..."

Lorne's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and before the other party finished speaking, he activated his power and waved his hand to completely catalyze the wine in the glass.

Queen Chrymene's body swayed, she lay drunkenly on the table, and fell into a deep sleep.

After solving the hidden dangers, Lorne set up dozens of concealment barriers around him, then frowned and looked at the mysterious lady in front of him who revealed his identity.

"You are?"

"Don't be so nervous, just call me Demeter."

The beautiful woman smiled and spoke, with a trace of peace and calm in her brows.

"It turns out it's you." Lorne breathed a sigh of relief.

Demeter, the goddess in charge of agriculture, grains and harvests among the twelve main gods of Olympus, is also the biological mother of her adoptive mother, Persephone, and is theoretically one of her own.

However, to be cautious, Lorne looked at the [Mark of the Dead] on his hand and asked in a deep voice: "Did 'Mother' tell you that I am here?"

After all, the power to drive souls on a large scale belongs to Pluto and his wife. If he uses this power, he will inevitably be sensed by them.

"Not entirely..." Demeter motioned for Lorne to sit down and replied softly, "Typhon has returned, half of Arcadia's royal city has been transformed into Hades, tens of thousands of people are out of balance, and you have made such a big fuss. ”

Lorne nodded, secretly alert in his heart.

Sure enough, if you use the power beyond the gods too much, you will inevitably be targeted by others, so you should be more cautious in future actions.

After giving himself a heads up, Lorne asked carefully: "So, the reason for your visit to Arcadia is..."

"How about taking a guess?" Demeter picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at the figure in front of her with a smile, "Persephone always praises you for being smart."

Hearing the meaning of the competition, Lorne pondered for a moment, and a relaxed smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Is it the Eleusinian Mystery Cult? Your followers have caused so much trouble, and someone must come forward to deal with the aftermath."

When Demeter heard this, she put down her tea cup and smiled bitterly: "I didn't let them slaughter the city and destroy the country for the sake of so-called [immortality]."

Obviously, Lorne's guess was spot on.

Now that humans and gods are separated, the growth of the gods' strength in the next three hundred years is closely related to human faith.

Although Demeter is not the founder of the Eleusinian Mystery in the strict sense, nor does she directly support the Eleusinian Mystery, but after a long period of development, this god of agriculture has formed a relationship with the Eleusinian Mystery. An inseparable whole.

Every word, deed, and action of the believers will more or less affect human society's views and beliefs about Demeter.

This time's "Great Sacrifice of Arcadia" is a big or small problem.

If the Eleusinians involved in it are promoted as a negative example, the Eleusinian Mystery Cult may become a crooked cult that everyone is shouting about. If it is serious, even Demeter, the main god of the Esoteric Cult, may suffer a disastrous reputation. .

Of course, even if you don't care about Demeter's face, you still have to take care of the feelings of your adoptive mother Persephone. Even if she is not the mother and daughter of the Goddess of Agriculture, she is still one of the main gods served by the Eleusinian Mystery.

In addition, the Eleusinian Mystery Cult was not deeply involved in the case, so Lorne and Atalanta did not intend to go online.

In fact, that's exactly what they did.

After killing the incarnation of Typhon and suspending the great sacrifice in the city, Atalanta has been working hard to mediate the forces of various sects, and in the name of substituting merits for wrongs, she and the unsullied believers of several sects have survived together. Arcadia's most dangerous time.

However, just because some things are not investigated does not mean they did not happen.

Lorne looked at Demeter, who had officially come forward on behalf of the Eleusinian Mystery Cult, and sighed with a heavy tone.

"Although I understand your difficulties and believe in your character, the nature of this incident is too bad and has brought serious disaster to the Acadian people, both as a pastor on earth and as Her Majesty the Queen's Teacher, I have to give them an explanation.”

"I know, it's because of my lax discipline..."

The honest God of Agriculture nodded in recognition, then opened the magic array and took out the [Horn of Fertility].

"So, I brought this. It can purify the land polluted by the dead air and allow the Acadians to have a good harvest for at least ten years. I hope this can make up for the mistakes committed by my followers."

At this time, this artifact has been re-infused with divinity, a rich breath of life is filling the air, and the plants in the garden are growing luxuriantly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Change soil quality? Ten years of good harvest? What a good thing!

Lorne took the reactivated [Horn of Plenty] and couldn't put it down.

These powers may not be of much use to gods, but to a country they are worth more than countless gold and silver treasures and magical weapons.

In particular, the land of Arcadia is mountainous and forested, and the land suitable for farming is quite limited. The Horn of Plenty, which allows for pioneering and guaranteed harvests, is simply the most valuable treasure for the Acadians.

And with this thing, Atalanta's position as queen will be unshakable.

Judging from the actions of this god of agriculture, we can see that the sincerity of reconciliation and compensation is very high.

But...

"Although I want to help you clarify and understand your sincerity, it seems that I gave this thing to your followers, and in front of a group of divine blood heroes. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public by just using it to pay off debts."

Lorne held the Horn of Plenty in his hand with a look of helplessness on his face.

To sum it up, it’s not enough, so you have to pay more!

Although Demeter was kind, she was not a fool. She rolled her eyes at the little guy in front of her, hummed softly, took out another cloth bag, and placed it on the table.

"This is a spring seed bag. It contains high-quality seeds that I have selected and bred during my travels to various countries. If some crops suitable for the soil of Arcadia are promoted and planted, ordinary people will not have to risk going into the mountains to hunt monsters to feed themselves."

"I believe that the Arcadians will be grateful for your kindness and remember the sacrifices made by the Eleusinians to fight against the beast!"

Lorne immediately settled the position of the Eleusinian congregation and sent a favor to Demeter who was bleeding profusely.

"When the situation stabilizes, I will ask Her Majesty the Queen to consult scholars from the Eleusinian Mystery Cult for advice on re-cultivation and seedling cultivation."

"This is best."

Hearing this, Demeter nodded with satisfaction, and a warm smile appeared on her face.

In fact, this was one of the reasons why she came to Arcadia.

She and her daughter Persephone were gods of agriculture and plants, but the followers of the Eleusinian Mystery were blindly pursuing "eternal life" and "immortality" because of the Eleusinian Mystery that she performed.

This is tantamount to sacrificing the basics and even hindering the spread of her faith.

Therefore, Demeter also planned to take this opportunity during her trip to bring order to the internal chaos and re-establish the doctrine and purpose of the Eleusinian Mystery.

And Lorne's secret move to send the group of people to farm perfectly met Demeter's expectations.

This is right. If you believe in agriculture and plant gods, you should practice medicine and cultivate the land honestly, study the characteristics of plants, and think about taking drugs and immortality all day long. Sooner or later, it will cause her new troubles.

Seeing that the problem that had troubled her for a long time was solved, Demeter was in a good mood and waved her hand, leaving behind a clay pot.

"I heard that her mother said that the child lost his father because of this incident and just succeeded to the throne? Accept it for her. This is a small gift from me."

The Goddess of Agriculture said, rolling his eyes at a certain little trickster who was trying different ways to blow her gold coins, and snorted angrily.

"...It's considered extra!"

Lorne took the pottery pot with a smile, opened it curiously, and found that it was actually a pot of Hugh Oatmeal porridge.

"The portion I cooked with my own hands can't give her the immortality of a god, but it can wash away most of her mortal nature." Demeter responded softly, and then glanced at Arkady, who was sleeping soundly at the table. Queen Ya seemed to be aroused by her sympathy for the same illness, and added in a deep voice, "There was also something in the drinks her mother and I drank..."

Lorne nodded, unable to help but be in awe of the god of agriculture in front of him.

Being able to feel compassion for the suffering of mortals and be willing to take action is a rare quality for gods.

"Okay, that's all. It's time for me to leave."

The meeting officially ended, Demeter turned into green fluorescence and disappeared.

Just as Lorne was about to count the wool he had gathered, the twin brothers rushed in after returning.

"Someone is looking for you again. It seems that he is a god..."

The sound stopped suddenly, and the two of them looked at someone who stood up and leaned forward and the Queen of Arcadia who was sleeping soundly in front of him, with astonishment on their faces.
