Greece brings evildoers

The city of Knossos, the residence of the Kitchen God.

The three virgins sat together in the living room, tasting the fruit pastries before the meal, while waiting for the sumptuous meal to be served.

In order to pass the time, they naturally talked about several major events that had happened in Mount Olympus recently.

First, due to lax control, sea beasts in the Oceanus Sea overflowed and attacked surrounding human cities. As the God of the Ocean, Poseidon was summoned to Olympus by the God King Zeus, and cruelly attacked Olympus. He scolded him fiercely.

In order to make up for the losses of human city-states and show the kindness of the gods, Zeus asked Poseidon to give the stricken human cities a three-year harvest of fish and some precious minerals and seafood from the Oceanus Sea.

Among them, the most severely affected island of Crete undoubtedly received the most generous compensation.

But as the patron saint of the Minoans, Athena had strong opinions on this indifferent punishment and put forward more substantive requirements, such as delineating safe areas and requiring sea beasts to withdraw from the coast thirty miles away. range etc.

Of course, Poseidon was equally dissatisfied with the verdict of Zeus, and was still stubbornly demanding that the culprits who killed his own Atlantis Guards be thoroughly found out, and demanded that humans suffer a lot of losses to his God-Blooded Familia in recent years. Responsible.

In this way, the two sides are still arguing over who is responsible and who is the culprit who started the dispute in the first place, and they have been back and forth for several months.

Hestia, who was listening attentively, couldn't help but be curious and asked.

"Then what?"

"No more." Athena replied lightly, drinking the honey water calmly.

"No more?" Hestia, who was eagerly waiting for the next step, couldn't help but raise her voice and look shocked.

Didn’t I say before that Zeus would uphold justice?

As if seeing her aunt's confusion, Artemis spread her hands and spoke quietly.

"Because Father God, he went to the next world not long ago, something happened, and he was having a huge quarrel with that Queen of Heaven."

"..."

Hestia was speechless when she heard such an unexpected but reasonable result. Then she couldn't hold back her curiosity and secretly asked about the whole story.

It's not complicated to say.

Not long ago, Zeus, who was accustomed to hunting for beauty in the lower world, fell in love with a water nymph named "Aegina", and turned into an eagle and abducted her.

But the father of the water nymph, the river god Asopus, had a strong fatherly love that was rare in the Greek gods.

He had nine daughters in total, and he was proud and happy to have so many innocent and lovely daughters, and he loved them even more.

However, fate always tortures this old father who is incompatible with the Greek gods.

His daughters disappeared mysteriously one by one, which made him extremely sad.

For this reason, the old river god searched many places and asked passers-by or gods about their whereabouts, but did not get any information.

When all eight daughters disappeared inexplicably, only the youngest daughter Aegina was left. The old river god was in extreme pain and guarded her very carefully, not wanting to lose the last beloved daughter.

But despite all precautions, he still failed to stop the god king from the lower realm.

Zeus took advantage of the river god's rest and transformed into an eagle, quickly snatching away the water nymph Aegina.

However, the old river god who had lost everything did not collapse as soon as he heard the bad news. Instead, he persevered in searching for traces of his daughter. He actually ignored the dissuasion of the prophet sent by Zeus and followed the transformed eagle of the god king all the way. Trying to get his daughter back.

In the end, Zeus was too horny and unwilling to give up such a beautiful girl, so he threw lightning and hit one of the legs of the river god. When the river god fainted, he took the water fairy Aegina to an isolated island. On the throne, they completed their union and gave birth to a son of god named "Aeacus".

Zeus thought he had done this perfectly, but the whole process was clearly seen by King Sisyphus of Corinth.

Later, the story of the incident somehow reached Mount Olympus and fell into the ears of Hera.

So, the furious Queen naturally caught her husband who had cheated on her many times and beat him up.

With such an accident, Zeus, who had a lawsuit on his head, was not in the mood to care about the dispute between Athena and Poseidon. He was currently avoiding his wife who was looking for him everywhere to accuse him.

Although she was narrating in a calm tone, there seemed to be some gloating in the words of this hunting goddess.

However, after hearing this, Hestia felt a little sorry for the old river god who had suffered such a disaster, and couldn't help but say something fair.

"Zeus, he is really going too far."

“Isn’t this what Father God always does?”

Athena turned the cup in her hand and asked calmly.

For a moment, Hestia was speechless and could only sigh angrily, the pity and resentment in her eyes helplessly extinguished.

Right or wrong, she really has nothing to do with Olympus.

At the same time, if she wants to continue to be stable, she shouldn't care about it.

——This is what Athena warned her repeatedly.

Since there was nothing she could do, Hestia could only ignore these troublesome things, raise her head and change the subject.

“So, there’s no real outcome to the matter in Crete until now?”

"Still negotiating..."

Athena replied calmly, her face as calm as ever.

Her purpose from the beginning was not to care about the local specialties of Atlantis, but to deliberately make the matter bigger and muddy the water, forcing Poseidon to be in full view of the public and unable to get involved in Crete openly.

The more violent and prolonged this dispute becomes, the safer Crete becomes.

And things evolved just as the goddess of wisdom expected.

Therefore, she didn't mind wasting some saliva and squirting with Poseidon for a few more days.

I'm just afraid that the uncle won't let it go...

Thinking of the giant aqua-blue arm hanging from the sky, Athena couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

Seeing that the eldest niece, who was known for her wisdom, seemed to have her own clear thoughts, Hestia, who had always been self-aware, did not ask any further questions and turned to look at the other niece beside her.

"What about you? Artemis? Why did you come to me all of a sudden?"

Artemis smiled slightly and softly stated her intention.

"Isn't it almost the annual festival of the gods? Father God asked me to ask you if you want to go back to Olympus this time?"

"Don't go!"

Hestia chose to refuse without hesitation, vaguely guessing another reason why the brother of the God King sent Artemis to invite her back.

In addition to the apparent ceremony of the gods, I am afraid there is also the intention of asking her to go back and help persuade Hera.

After all, it had been so long, and it was impossible for Zeus to not know his attitude towards the apparently friendly gathering of the God-King family.

Moreover, the previous invitations were not so formal.

Unknowingly, the goddess of the stove guessed the thoughts of the God King's younger brother.

Obviously, after repeated exposure and constant indoctrination from someone, Hestia, even though she was not very fond of using her brain, became obviously wary and alienated from her seemingly just and fair God-King brother.

When Artemis heard Hestia's usual answer, she was not surprised. She hugged her aunt's other arm with a smile, showing some intimacy and hope.

"Then, why don't you come and live with me in Arcadia this year? You'll always get tired of staying in the same place."

Okay, so it turns out they are poaching...

Athena across from her put down her cup, sneered in her heart, glanced at Artemis who had impure eyes, and then showed a warm smile to Hestia.

"Aunt, it's okay with me here, don't worry, you can go wherever you want."

However, in the face of Athena's generous persuasion, Hestia shook her head decisively and showed a hint of apology towards Artemis.

"It still doesn't work. I've gotten used to it for so long and I'm too lazy to move."

Although they are both nieces and best friends, their situations are completely different.

Artemis is also protected by her mother Leto and her brother Apollo.

What about Athena? She has nothing.

Even Zeus's preference seems to have an ulterior motive.

Therefore, Hestia undoubtedly feels more sorry for Athena than Artemis.

Seeing Hestia being so determined, Artemis couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Well, I will come to see you often."

"Okay, you're welcome at any time! To tell you the truth, since that kid moved in, the food standard of my family has gone up by more than one level!"

Naturally, Hestia happily agreed to her niece's intention to get close to her, showing off her royal chef.

However, before the goddess of the stove could praise her more, there was a burst of noisy movement in the backyard. Artemis glanced at the sound, her face changed slightly, and she stood up suddenly.

"Stop! What are you doing?!"

"Cooking, cooking..."

At this time, Lorne, who was squatting in the backyard handling ingredients, picked up two flapping rabbits from the vegetable patch and looked back at the hesitant hunting goddess, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.
