Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 43 Curiosity kills

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. It's getting late. I'm going to prepare dinner. You guys talk first."

In the room, Hestia, who was full from eating, clapped her hands, stood up from the bench, and walked to the kitchen.

dinner?

Lorne was stunned for a moment, looked up and looked out the window, and found that at some point, most of the setting sun in the sky had fallen below the horizon.

Unknowingly, this golden eight o'clock slot in Olympus actually lasted from noon to evening.

Fortunately, with the snacks carefully prepared by Hestia, they didn't feel hungry at all, and they were all immersed in this gossip discussion.

Damn curiosity!

Lorne slapped his forehead, feeling a little annoyed.

"Don't worry, my aunt lives alone. She has plenty of rooms, and she likes to entertain guests. You can stay here tonight."

Athena caught a glimpse of Lorne's strange behavior, put down the cup of honey water, paused for a moment, looked at the bustling market outside the window, and suggested with a chuckle.

"In addition, the Harvest Festival is coming soon. It's a rare occasion. There is everything you need to eat, drink, and play here. It's better to stay a few more days and enjoy the festival before leaving."

Lorne's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but there was a tight pulling sensation from the corner of his clothes behind him.

He turned his head and suddenly saw little Medusa's bright eyes full of desire, and her throat that kept swallowing saliva.

Thinking of the deserted and dilapidated temples on the invisible island and the human outsiders who flocked to the island to crusade, Lorne's heart moved and he thought deeply.

For a long time, human beings, under the instigation of the gods, have been constantly conquering the Titans and monsters scattered in the world, creating so-called great achievements, and thus dedicating themselves to the gods.

The three Gorgon sisters who escaped from the Crypt of Arima all the way to the Invisible Island are one of the most obvious victims.

But in fact, humans and gods and monsters are not mortal enemies, and the motives of the gods are not simple.

They mostly want to provoke conflicts between humans and gods and monsters, making it difficult for two groups with strong potential to form a union, thereby posing a threat to them.

Perhaps, we can take this opportunity to let Medusa, who has not yet fallen into madness during the persecution, gradually come into contact with human society and change her understanding of the human group.

After all, human beings are not the only ones who desire to make great achievements, warriors who hope to become famous by slaying gods and monsters, and monarchs who desire immortality.

Ordinary people who give up everything they have for a meal, pursue simple happiness with all their strength, and do not want to harm others or be harmed, are the majority in human society.

If he wants to shake the ascendant power of Olympus, he must use all available power.

Lorne's eyes flickered, his thoughts circulated several times, and he finally made a decision in his mind. He first raised his head and smiled at the little Medusa who was looking at him eagerly behind him, and then nodded slightly to Athena.

"Being respectful is not as good as obeying orders, then it's a nuisance."

"It's just a small convenience, and during festivals, it is also a Minoan tradition to entertain guests from far away as much as possible, so there is no need to be so polite."

Athena smiled lightly and nodded, then called over the little blond girl who was wandering in the corridor.

"Nikki, take them upstairs to find two vacant rooms and put down their luggage first."

"OK!"

The little blond girl with a garland of flowers trotted over and happily accepted the order. Then she pulled the little Medusa who was inexplicably in tune with her and rushed upstairs happily. Lorne was carrying a few pieces of luggage. He followed slowly, his eyes falling thoughtfully on the little girl named "Nikki".

If you guessed correctly, she should be Athena's most important god-the goddess of victory, Νκη (Nike), and the name Nike is her feminine translation.

According to mythological records, the classic image of this goddess of victory is wearing a wreath on her head, with a pair of golden wings on her back. She has a strong figure and fluttering clothes, as if she is wandering down from the sky. Her plump body reveals strength and strength under her thin shirt. Health represents victory and the joy that comes with it.

Because she is the personification of victory, victory will surely follow wherever she goes.

But now, the twelve main gods of Mount Olympus have only experienced the Titanic battle with the twelve Titans of Mount Olympus, and their authority has just been stabilized.

Athena herself was born after the Battle of the Titans. Although she has the dual divine power of wisdom and war, she has not experienced many wars and victories so far.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Nikki, the goddess of victory, is still a child.

Following Nikki's guidance, two adjacent guest rooms were selected. Lorne put down his luggage and spoke with a smile.

"You guys, let's go play nearby. I'll tidy up the room."

The two little girls who were released were immediately excited, turned around and wanted to rush downstairs.

"Wait, bring these."

The voice from behind stopped Little Medusa. As she turned around, Lorne took out a bronze badge from his pocket and tied it around Little Medusa's neck with a rope. Dozens of Coppers of Athena were stuffed into the pockets of the two little girls as pocket money.

Watching the two of them holding hands going downstairs and passing directly by Athena without attracting the attention of the goddess of wisdom, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Like the [Dice of Chance], the badges obtained from it in Lorne's hands are also contaminated with the unpredictable [accidental] breath of the world's destiny, which can effectively conceal Medusa's identity as a monster and prevent it from being easily perceived.

Of course, you get what you pay for.

According to the instructions of [Dice of Chance], the bronze badge can only be used on that day, the effect of the silver badge can last about a week, and the gold badge can be renewed for at least one year.

So, that's why Lorne wants to keep working.

If he doesn't want to be noticed by Zeus and the destiny of this world, he needs to continue to make troubles and use his [accidental] changes to interfere with the calculation of destiny [inevitability], so that he can lurk safely.

Because, perhaps from the moment he was unexpectedly born prematurely, he was already a [variable] that the world could not tolerate.

Looking at the two little guys who were holding hands with each other and buying snacks on the street, Lorne gently closed the window, made the bed, and then pushed the door open and went out.

"Clang!"

The moment he went out, a dull sound of landing came from the corridor.

Lorne looked up and looked back, and immediately saw Athena standing in front of the railing on the second floor, her hands clasped in an empty clasp.

At this moment, she was looking down at the two apples and oranges on the floor, which were of different sizes and weights but fell to the ground almost at the same time. She frowned and murmured to herself.

"Things of different weights and sizes will fall to the ground at almost the same speed if the interference of factors such as shape and material is reduced. If the materials and shapes are the same, two things with only different weights and sizes will fall from a height. , perhaps this error will be further reduced..."

Lorne was surprised to hear Athena's conclusion.

Just hearing herself mention it made her think of reducing the interference factors and conduct a more complete and objective experiment.

This not only allowed her to directly jump out of the old common-sense thinking such as "Why do feathers and apples, shot put and paper fall to the ground one after another", but also allowed her to almost deduce the complete law of free fall.

You know, from the time Aristotle raised the question to the end of Galileo correcting the fallacy, mankind spent nearly two thousand years in this process.

How should I put it? She is indeed the goddess of wisdom.

"You came out? Just in time. How did you know? Come here and explain?"

At this time, Athena, who was standing in the corridor on the second floor, heard the movement, turned to look at Lorne who was going out, and extended an invitation smoothly.

For a moment, Lorne's face froze.

He is a theoretical person who can fool around, not a practical person who fully deduces the process.

This damn curiosity can really kill someone!

Seeing that Athena was aroused by him to be curious about knowledge, Lorne, who was sweating a little, turned his brain crazily, thinking of a way to escape.
