The Bard at Hogwarts

As Athena finished her story, the huge temple fell into an eerie silence.

In this quiet atmosphere, one could hear the crackling sound of the burning olive oil lamp.

…

"What do you want me to do?" Ino was the first to break the silence. The other party must have had a plan for this matter.

"It wasn't a big deal, but now I have a better idea."

Athena stared at the blue phoenix. After a moment, she chuckled and said:

"I'll give you the potion of love, and you go seduce Amphitrite, who is also in the temple! After you're done, let this bird bring you back, and I promise to protect your safety."

"Puff... cough cough!" Ino almost couldn't catch his breath.

Sure enough, the Greek gods are the most humane. Even the famous Athena is acting like a vengeful girl at this moment.

"Change the way of revenge!"

He refused the proposal to seduce the Queen of the Sea without thinking.

In the temple of the sea god with Poseidon's wife... I'm afraid this is not a question of revenge.

"Then go and destroy his temple!" Athena's expression instantly turned cold when she heard that she was rejected.

Destroying the temple is a life-threatening proposal.

However, facing this more outrageous condition. After thinking for a moment, Ino nodded and agreed.

"Okay! I promise you, but not now!"

"What? You'd better think it over!" Athena raised her eyebrows, looking surprised.

Demolishing or damaging a temple has risen to hatred.

Although the Greek gods do not rely on the power of faith, the temple is their most basic face.

Unless a war of gods is really launched, no one will touch each other's bottom line.

Therefore, Athena was a little unresponsive to the promise of her angry words.

...

In response to Athena's stunned look, Ino naturally spoke again:

"I can help you vent your anger and destroy his temple, and I don't need your protection afterwards. But the premise is that you must promise Helena's safety..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted coldly by Athena.

"I gave you a chance to regret it!"

Faced with the silent response, she suddenly felt a little bored.

After a moment, Athena stood up and said calmly:

"As long as you can do it, I will let that girl become my maid."

Hearing this final promise, Ino nodded silently.

In fact, in Greek mythology, maids do not have much status.

But the status of maids cannot be denied.

The famous Hermes, although he is Zeus's assistant and messenger, is actually still a maid.

Although being Athena's maid is not as high-ranking as Zeus's maid, as a maid of the twelve main gods, he is still protected by the rules.

Not only will Helena be safe in the future, but she will also indirectly gain eternal life. As long as the main god she serves is there, she can live forever.

...

"I will destroy his temple as much as possible."

Faced with Athena's generosity, Ino also made a corresponding promise.

"Whatever you want!" The response came from the main seat again, but the boredom in the tone was already very obvious.

In fact, he also guessed the reason for Athena's change of attitude.

It was probably like a girl who accidentally got an interesting toy, but before she could play with it properly, she found that the toy had inexplicably become a disposable consumable.

But unlike Athena's boredom, Ino felt a sense of relief.

In fact, since he first discovered the chariot of the sun god, he has been as cautious as possible to avoid causing trouble and conspicuousness.

As fate would have it, he finally ran into this big family.

But after meeting them, he suddenly found that he didn't have the troubles he expected, but instead became more open-minded.

Anyway, he won't come again in the future.

Going crazy before leaving, he can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibility of a teacher, and it is also a gift for Helena to find a place to live.

...

Half an hour later.

Taking advantage of the night, Ino left the temple.

After reaching an agreement, Athena's attitude became more and more perfunctory, and she was even too lazy to talk anymore.

In the face of this situation, there was no better choice except to take the initiative to say goodbye.

Crossing the quiet street outside the temple again.

Pushing open the door of the bakery, Helena's concerned eyes came into view.

"I'm fine, I may have to leave in a while." Ino said frankly.

On the way, he had the intention of being frank. Some things will be known sooner or later, and they can't be hidden.

"Do I have to leave?" Helena lowered her head and said in a lost tone.

"There is no way, I will leave sooner or later, just like I came suddenly at the beginning. But before leaving, I will prepare a gift for you, so that you will never be hungry."

Ino made his own promise.

...

Time passed silently.

It has been a full half year since the Athena Festival.

During this period, Helena has also changed a lot.

Although the whole person has matured a lot, there is also a little less laughter belonging to childhood.

Whether this matter is good or bad, no one can judge.

But one thing he knows very well is that the price of maturity must be to lose something before you can gain true maturity.

Although Ino saw Helena's changes, he was powerless.

He can only accompany her more while there is still time.

Mountains of Imitos.

Located on the coast, affected by the moist and warm sea breeze of the Aegean Sea, although there are four seasons, the lowest temperature is always no less than 5°.

Therefore, you can always see some blooming flowers in the small valley, the only difference is the number and type.

In the valley, under the tall olive tree.

Ino was fiddling with the camera in his hand.

As time passed, he saw Helena was depressed all day.

He planned to find something to amuse this disciple before leaving, and at the same time leave some memories.

"Just look ahead and try not to turn your head."

While fiddling with the camera, Ino did not forget to tell Helena.

"Okay!" Helena stood timidly under the tree. This was the first time she heard of this way of painting.

Although it was a bit strange, she still chose to believe it.

"Okay, don't move!" After adjusting the angle, Ino ran back to the original place quickly, and then half-crouched beside Helena.

"Click!"

A crisp sound sounded, and time seemed to freeze.

...

Evening.

The night gently brushed across the valley.

In the room, a blue light flashed, and Fide's figure appeared immediately.

Feeling the affirmative emotion coming from his mind, Ino stroked the wings of the phoenix with a chuckle.

To be honest, he was also scared by Fide. Asking him to find a place during this period of time was simply like a blind man touching an elephant, or even more outrageous than this.

After continuous mistakes, he didn't hold much hope.

Although Hu was like this, he still habitually grabbed Fide's tail feathers, just as another blind box trip.
