Greece brings evildoers.

Chapter 52 This is a proposition

Seeing the two figures, one large and one small, in the room as if they were facing formidable enemies, Athena smiled lightly and softly stated her purpose to Lorne.

"Don't be nervous, I'm interested in your qualifications and I just want to recruit you to be my follower."

Immediately, in order to enhance her persuasion, the goddess of wisdom, who had been prepared, looked at Hestia aside.

"Auntie also knows about this."

"Huh? Oh oh..."

Hestia, who was pulled out by her eldest niece to vouch for her, was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and nodded in a daze.

For some reason, the goddess of the stove seemed a little absent-minded, her eyes always glancing at the clean and tidy kitchen and the lush nursery in the backyard, intentionally or unintentionally.

However, after all, there is the double guarantee of the two goddesses.

Lorne and Little Medusa felt the obvious kindness released by the goddess of wisdom, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Their respective special identities seemed not to be noticed.

As the atmosphere eased, Athena smiled and extended her hand, leisurely extending an invitation.

"Okay, let's go, come back to Olympus with me first."

"So fast?!"

Hestia suddenly raised her head when she heard this, with a look of astonishment on her face.

Athena turned to look at the aunt who had been angry before, showing surprise.

"Hurry? Hasn't this matter been delayed for several months?"

"Uh, I mean..."

Hestia's eyes rolled around for a while, then she looked towards the kitchen and stove.

"You're here in such a hurry, why not leave after dinner?"

"No, there have been too many things going on recently, and everything is not peaceful. I don't know when the next critical situation will be. Just in case, it's better to make plans in advance."

Athena shook her head slightly, and as she spoke, a mark gradually formed between her eyebrows.

but……

Hestia's eyes swept across the large and small figures on one side, and she opened her mouth, wanting to speak.

But seeing a trace of fatigue deep in her niece's purple eyes, she finally tapped her teeth, bit her lips tightly, and said nothing.

From the corner of his eye, Lorne noticed the subtle change in Hestia's expression, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Fortunately, the efforts during this period were not in vain.

"lets change a topic."

At this moment, Athena, who had soothed her troubled mind, raised her head and looked to the opposite side, with a smile as usual on her face.

"Pack up, we'll set off immediately."

"and many more!"

The plan was interrupted again, this time by a male voice.

Athena, who was about to turn around and leave, looked back at Lorne behind her and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"what happened?"

"Thank you for your love for me, but I still have to take care of my sister."

Lorne held little Medusa's hand and Rourou looked at the somewhat dazed little face, with an expression of deep brother-sister affection.

"She is still so young. If I am not around, I really don't know how she will live..."

"Then take her with you."

"..."

At this moment, Lorne, who was showing a deep brother-sister relationship to little Medusa, couldn't help but stiffen, and a dry expression appeared on his face.

"This, this is not good."

"It does not matter, I do not mind."

Athena blinked, looking open-minded and tolerant.

I mind!

Being roasted on the fire continuously, Lorne couldn't hold himself any longer and could only express his polite refusal in a subtle way.

"Anna is still young, so it would be inappropriate for her to serve you, so..." "So, are you worried that her identity as a monster will be discovered and she will be blamed?"

"...!"

"You've come around in such a big circle, isn't that what you just want to say?"

The goddess of wisdom crossed her arms and looked at Lorne with a look of astonishment.

When their eyes met, Lorne noticed the subtle hints of teasing in the depths of his purple eyes, and his facial muscles couldn't help but twitch slightly.

She already knew it!

"Although I don't know what method you used to hide your own strength and this child's alien aura, don't treat everyone as a fool. After so long, how could you not find any clues that are different from ordinary people? The wisdom of the gods , it’s not what you can do…”

"Discovered? Discovered what?"

Hestia poked her head out curiously, looking confused.

"..."

The corners of Athena's mouth twitched, and she decisively did not mention the words "wisdom of the gods" again.

Well, I take it back, this is a magical group, and the IQ may fluctuate between -100 and no upper limit.

Immediately, the Goddess of Wisdom's penetrating gaze passed over half of little Medusa's face, she rolled her eyes at the little bastard who was hiding her behind her like a thief, and snorted coldly.

"Looking at her hair color and eyes, if I guess correctly, she should be the Gorgon from the Invisible Island, right?"

"Ah? So that's it! No wonder it's so cold and feels so comfortable to hold!"

Hestia suddenly understood, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Under the scrutiny of the goddess of wisdom, the little Medusa who was hiding behind Lorne couldn't help but shrank into the shadows again, holding on to the corner of Lorne's clothes.

Athena looked at the trembling little girl, her face melted away, showing a soft smile, and whispered her assurance.

"Don't worry, no one will hurt you here."

"Yeah, that's right! Nikki can protect you too!"

The little goddess of victory on the side also patted her chest to comfort her nervous friends.

As goodwill poured in from all around, some color finally returned to little Medusa's pale face, and her back, which had been straightened due to the alert state, gradually relaxed.

Seeing the unexpected behavior of the master and servant, Lorne was surprised and asked about his confusion.

"You do not blame unclean gods and monsters for entering your city and temple?"

"What is pure? What is unclean? I have seen the meanest gods and the noblest human beings."

Athena spoke calmly, then turned her head and looked through the window at the ordinary figures running busy on the street. Her eyes were deep and distant, and her voice turned low.

"All this is not determined by blood and origin, but by soul..."

Hearing the emotion mixed in those words for some reason, Lorne pursed his lips and reminded him softly.

"But, she is a monster..."

"Oh, even King Minos did not vent his anger on a troublemaker who came in the form of a demon because of his personal grudges. Do you think that my magnanimity is not even comparable to that of an eternal monarch?"

Athena sneered, her purple eyes full of displeasure, and she looked at the little bastard who slandered her with a cold snort.

Although his wife was defiled by an animal and gave birth to the bull-headed monster that symbolized shame, King Minos still did not impose his anger on this innocent child, but chose to raise him.

Even, in order to avoid the disaster caused by the hybrid of this naturally demonic god and human, he also recruited Daedalus and his son to build a maze underground in the palace, deliver food regularly, and secretly raise the child.

Hearing the resentment in Athena's words, Lorne couldn't help sweating on his forehead when faced with this proposition. He tried his best to avoid it while touting it hard.

"How could it be! There are actions from above and efficiency from below. The reason why King Minos can be so tolerant must be inspired by you! It's all because of your good teaching! Even the gods and monsters who are despised by others can be Bathed in your radiance and treated as an equal, I, an extrovert with little knowledge, finally understand that you are well-deserved as your mistress!”

Athena's face softened slightly under Lorne's rainbow farts. When the anger in her heart gradually dissipated, she glanced at some eloquent little bastard and spoke angrily. .

"You don't have to be so unconscionable, not all gods and monsters can be approved by me."

After saying that, the goddess of wisdom turned to look at the still timid little Medusa, her eyes became softer.

"Anna, thank you for taking care of my subjects these days. It seems that they like you very much..."

"No, no, I like you all too."

Being thanked so solemnly by a god, little Medusa's cheeks turned red and she was immediately at a loss.

Seeing such an interesting reaction from the little girl, Athena couldn't help but smile, raised her hand and caressed the little Medusa's head affectionately, murmuring.

"What a good boy..."

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the window lattice and falls on the opposite figures, one large and one small. It is filled with warmth and warmth, forming a beautiful picture.
