Greece brings evildoers.

Chapter 66 You dare to say it, I dare to believe it

Early the next morning, a rustling sound downstairs woke Lorne from his sleep.

"Athena's breasts are padded!"

As soon as he opened his eyes, he first habitually offered "praise" to a certain main god in his daily notebook, and then he got up and went downstairs feeling relaxed and relaxed.

At this time, in the living room.

Hestia, who had woken up early, and little Medusa, who had been awake all night, were gathered at the dining table, immersed in tasting the box of exquisite snacks in front of each other.

"you're awake?"

The stove goddess, who was the first to hear the noise, turned to look at Lorne who was coming down the stairs. While waving hello, she rolled her pink tongue to scrape away a few remaining snack crumbs from the corners of her mouth.

Obviously, she liked the taste of this food very much.

Lorne's eyes glanced at the snake pattern on the snacks, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

"The temple's tribute? Where did it come from?"

"The goddess asked me to send it here before she left."

There was a pleasant chant from outside the door. A girl with a quiet and elegant temperament, wearing a plain white dress and a gold snake pattern bracelet on her wrist, with a beautiful oval face and long flaxen hair shawl, stood respectfully at the door. His bright eyes showed a gentle apology.

"The island of Crete has been in turmoil recently, and the temple has been troubled by many things. I apologize for not being able to visit in time."

three people? Two gifts?
Lorne looked at the two mostly empty boxes on the table, as well as Hestia and Little Medusa who were working hard, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Two peaches kill three people, right?

It's already this time and you still don't forget to give me eye drops. You are really petty, sister.

Seeing a subtle change in the expression on someone's face, the bright-eyed girl outside the door quickly bowed and spoke.

"This visit is too hasty. In order to thank you for your warning yesterday, my father has prepared a banquet and would like to invite some of you to the palace for a chat."

Immediately, the girl paused, looked at Lorne, who was the main invitee, smiled, and changed the subject.

"To express my gratitude, my father would like to present you with a small gift in person during the banquet."

So, my door-to-door gift is saved, right?

Tsk tsk, these words are really watertight. Not only did they cover up Athena's mischief and save the respect of the petty goddess, but they also showed how much the royal family valued him, a foreigner, without violating the goddess's will.

It seems that King Minos raised a good daughter.

Lorne glanced playfully at the beautiful and intelligent princess outside the door, with a hint of approval and curiosity in his eyes.

"Excuse me, which princess of King Minos are you?"

"I am my father's second daughter, Ariadne. I am currently in charge of the affairs of the temple. Your Excellency..."

The bright-eyed girl nodded slightly and bowed, taking the initiative to lower her body without any airs of a princess.

When he heard this name, Lorne's face couldn't help but undergo some subtle changes, and the look he looked at Princess Ariadne from the corner of his eyes was a little weird.

Ariadne? Isn't this one of the mortal lovers that Dionysus, the god of wine, will hook up with in the future?
Feeling the gaze falling on her, which seemed to have changed, Ariadne couldn't help but raise her head and asked cautiously.

"grown ups?"

"Oh, sorry, I just got distracted."

Lorne came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, and his eyes became clear again.

He is he and Dionysus is Dionysus.

From the moment he was born, everything, whether it was his future or his destiny, was completely different.

Sensing that the atmosphere had relaxed, Princess Ariadne spoke tentatively again.

"What do you think about it?"

"I have no problem..."

Lorne nodded indifferently, and then looked at the two figures in the living room, one large and one small, happily eating alone.

"But at least wait until they finish eating."

"No need to wait, we're coming right now!" After hearing this, Hestia hurriedly stood up, pulled little Anna who was still stuffing snacks into her mouth, and walked out of the door quickly, looking impatient.

Compared with this little appetizer, of course the palace meal is more valuable.

After living in the city of Knossos for so long, she had long wanted to try the skills of the palace cook.

Watching the princess, who held the position of head priestess, go to summon the carriages and horses prepared by the temple, Hestia, who was standing behind, sneakily poked Lorne's lower back and whispered in amazement.

"It's really yours! I guessed it right again this time! The first wave of beasts had just been repelled on the coastline, and before it was fully light, this daughter of King Minos ran to our door and wanted to invite us to dinner. !”

"It's not guessing, it's thinking, thinking..."

Lorne weakly corrected him. However, after last night's blow, Hestia, who had already recognized the facts, had already chosen to give up, and instead left this hard and tiring work to the external brain in front of her. .

"Okay, okay, just think when you think. When we get to the dinner table, I just eat and don't talk."

"..."

Hearing such an unsatisfactory answer from the stove goddess, Lorne rolled his eyes and comforted himself helplessly in his heart.

Forget it, it was your choice anyway.

If he was too smart, he wouldn't necessarily ask her to block the gun.

Soon, a carriage with bronze snake patterns and bird wing carvings, and a low-key and luxurious carriage came to the door, picked up the three of them, and drove away towards the Knossos Palace.

Due to the superposition of various protective runes, the carriage was not only comfortable, but also fast. It only took a quarter of an hour to reach the destination.

As the vehicle came to a stop, the accompanying priestess opened the curtain and led the three people out of the car.

"Please come with me, my father is waiting for you."

The three of them nodded and followed Her Royal Highness the Princess. After several turns in the huge palace, they finally arrived at a relatively secluded courtyard.

In the empty courtyard, a sluggish old man was sitting alone in front of the stone table. His figure was stooped, his eyes seemed to be closed, and his ravaged face showed deep fatigue and old age.

And as the three of them crossed the threshold, the old man in front of the stone table suddenly opened his eyes, the light in his eyes skyrocketed, and a fierce aura swept over him, like a lion waking up from its sleep, showing its instinct to the prey that broke into its territory. Minions.

"Father..."

Princess Ariadne, who couldn't bear it first, turned slightly pale, her upper and lower teeth chattered, and she quickly called out in a low voice.

Although with her excellent talent and bloodline, and under the protection of the goddess Athena, the chief priestess was successfully promoted to a demigod.

But compared with the three unknown people behind him, there is obviously a big gap.

After all, one of them is the heir even Zeus is afraid of, the future god of wine.
One is the Gorgon who has absorbed the divinity of the old sea god Pontos, a powerful monster known as the hero killer.

The last one is the sister of Zeus, one of the twelve genuine gods.

"Ariadne? Are you here? Sorry..."

King Minos recovered from his stress, his extremely oppressive momentum disappeared without a trace like the fading tide, and he quickly stood up to greet him.

Needless to say, Princess Ariadne, who has always been very discerning, helped her old father to invite the distinguished guests to their seats, and at the same time conveyed the news of preparing dishes and snacks to the people below.

As his daughter was busy, King Minos began to take a serious look at the man in front of him.

Similarly, Lorne did not dodge, but also carefully looked at this wise king who had mixed reputations and was burdened with too many mysteries and stains.

After a brief look at each other, King Minos was the first to squeeze out a smile and picked up a cup filled with fruit juice to express his gratitude.

"You must be the wise man that the goddess mentioned. Thank you for your reminder of what happened last night."

"I just mentioned it casually. If you don't believe it, it's useless no matter how much you say."

Lorne smiled slightly and picked up the ceramic cup.

"What's more, you can distinguish the truth from the false in words, and take countermeasures in advance to prepare for the crisis. Crete can easily win this first game, and you, the wise king who controls the overall situation, take the greatest credit. "

One dares to say it, and the other dares to believe it.

The old man and the young man who successfully met at the table looked at each other, clinked glasses and drank in unison, showing tacit smiles.
