Greece brings evildoers.

Chapter 58: Bald Athena?
Here comes the fatal one!

The three golden oracles on the bronze altar in his mind were looming, and Lorne felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

As mentioned before, the golden oracle corresponds to a difficult task beyond his current ability, and the process is extremely dangerous.

[Battle of the Cyclops] and [Chasing of Oceanus], which were major events in version 1.0, almost gave him a narrow escape. In the end, he took advantage of the special environment of the invisible island to divert trouble and fish in troubled waters. Only then did he successfully deceive the Atlantean Guards who were chasing him for most of the Oceanus Sea.

Otherwise, the grass on his grave might be ten feet tall.

And now, the 2.0 version has not officially begun, but it has directly attracted the twelve main gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war, and Poseidon, the sea god, who are at the forefront of the battle. If you think about it, you know the trouble and danger this time. , I’m afraid it’s worse than last time.

In addition...

What did I do that caused the Minoan crisis? Stop making false accusations against good people!
Athena and Poseidon fight, Atlantis and Minoans fight each other, what does it have to do with me?

Lorne was a little depressed when a blame was placed on his head for no reason, and he quickly tried to clarify himself in his mind.

However, when he thought about what he had done on the Sea of ​​Oceanus and the changes he had brought about in the city of Knossos, he couldn't help but feel guilty and became dumb.

Okay, maybe it has a little bit to do with it.

A little bit……

Lorne tried his best to distance himself from the title of a Greek villain and a troublemaker of the gods, but the bright golden oracle in his mind undoubtedly told him that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Even if he is not the culprit, he is most likely the trigger.

After such a long time of running in, coupled with the vague speculation in his heart, Lorne also roughly understood how to refresh and run the version of the Golden Oracle.

The answer is simple.

While completing the tasks of the daily and weekly notebooks, I will inevitably introduce the "accident" contained in the "dice" into the "inevitability" of the "destiny", and the two sides will collide, causing varying degrees of deviation.

Once this kind of distortion that does not meet the [determination] rises to a certain level, it will inevitably cause a rebound from [fate], which will trigger a series of crises in an attempt to eliminate him as a [variable].

This is probably the so-called cause of [Version Event].

Therefore, it seemed that he could not escape the current trouble.

As for how to choose...

Lorne's mind was spinning with thoughts, and his consciousness was considering the first and second items back and forth.

There is no doubt that choosing to side with Poseidon and the powerful Atlantis is undoubtedly a simple mode, and you can even win by just sitting back and watching the development of the situation.

But according to the consistent virtue of that dice, the simpler it appears on the surface, the more dangerous it is in fact.

Even if he is not bound by a sense of morality and does not consider emotional factors, he follows Poseidon all the way to the dark side, successfully destroys the Minoan civilization, and obtains part of Athena's divine power.

But then?

If Poseidon had his hands free, Buqi would kill him by the way.

By that time, there would be no wall like Athena to protect him from the wind.

Therefore, only by choosing the first option and firmly teaming up with this dear old sister, may we have a chance to have a happy ending.

As for the third path given by the dice, Lorne simply chose to ignore it.

The malice in the words almost overflowed the altar.

Let him, a demigod, directly choose the two main gods Athena and Poseidon?

Even if he has a brain twitch, it's not like this.

His thoughts were changing in a flash, and in just a moment, he made up his mind, took a deep breath, and looked helplessly at Athena, whose face was getting worse and worse.

"Whatever I can do, I will try my best..."

Lorne paused, then looked back at the little Medusa and Hestia running around the camp, as well as the city of Knossos in the distance that was gradually being obscured by the cold mist and night. His deep eyes rarely showed some truth. Emotions.

"After all, I have just gotten used to living in a place where I have no plans to move yet."

When Athena heard this, the gloom on her face suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't help but smile. "After this matter is resolved, you can stay here as long as you want."

In response to Lorne's non-committal response, the goddess of wisdom became even more relieved.

Talking too much is often just perfunctory.

The more cautious the promise, the more it proves that he is seriously considering the matter.

After a moment of silence, Lorne looked at Athena and asked a question in his mind.

"Why me? There should be people stronger than me in the entire island of Crete, such as...that King Minos?"

As the future head of the three judges of Hades, the son of God King Zeus and Goddess Europa, that elder brother by blood is not said to be extremely capable, but he is definitely a master who can resist.

“Strength and weakness are not limited to the level of force, but also include the level of wisdom.”

Athena spoke calmly, looking into the vast night with a deep gaze, revealing a keen sense of insight.

"Compared to the former, I believe in the power of the latter. And you, in my opinion, have the qualifications to change the overall situation."

Lorne nodded noncommittally, looked side by side at the dark Ocean of Oceanus with Athena, and spoke quietly.

"In other words, Crete is at an absolute power disadvantage in this contest. If you want to survive the crisis safely, you can only rely on your brain, right?"

While speaking, Lorne raised his hand to touch his forehead and turned to look at Athena beside him.

"I feel a little regretful now, can I quit?"

"..."

The enigmatic smile on Athena's face couldn't help but stiffen, her silver teeth were secretly grinding, and the pink fist in her sleeve felt like it wanted to hit someone.

Well, she likes smart people, but not people who are too smart.

"War authority!"

Athena gouged out a certain little bastard with bad intentions and snorted coldly.

"As long as you can protect the entire island of Crete, I will let you see the real power of war and help you become a god!"

"make a deal!"

Suddenly, Lorne swept away the embarrassment and entanglement on his face, and high-fived the goddess of wisdom with a cheerful smile.

That smooth transformation made Athena's face darker.

"I have something else to do, I have to go see King Minos!"

The goddess of wisdom said a word firmly, turned to greet Niki outside, transformed into a stream of light, and disappeared into the thick night.

"Go away, goddess."

Lorne in the forest waved goodbye with a warm smile on his face.

After all, if you are lucky enough to save Crete this time, you will not only be able to use Athena's hand to pick up the wool of Ares, the god of war who is compatible with his bloodline, but you will also be able to get a promise from the goddess of wisdom. Plus the golden oracle reward of Poseidon's baptism of divine power, you can eat three fish and make a lot of money!

Moreover, this seems to be a new idea.

Who stipulates that he can only follow the unlucky dice to make a living? As long as the contradictions between the twelve main gods are intensified, and oneself takes the throne, recruits one group to fight another group, and muddies the water, won't both sides get the best of it?

When the time comes, whoever’s gold coins you want to explode, you can explode!
The more Lorne thought about it, the more feasible it became, and he couldn't help but feel better.

However, just as he was about to walk out of the remote jungle, he suddenly remembered a question.

Later, if you ask me to help you to help prevent Crete from a disaster, you have to give me a certificate, right?

Lorne looked at his empty hands, then at the lights and shadows that had long since disappeared in the night sky, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It seems that it is a bit too much.
