Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 192 How about paying with flesh? (4.5k)

 The moon is bright, the stars are sparse, and the night is as dark as water.

In the dense forest near the sea, a ball of orange fire danced slightly, licking the reddish bottom of the pot, and the broth simmering on the fire made a gurgling sound.

Lorne stood up and picked up the branch that was used as a tableware. He poked at the pieces of animal meat tumbling in the soup pot. After confirming that they were rotten, he raised his hand to draw a few lines of Hermes and took out a few pieces of meat he carried with him from the space magic array diagram. Use an earthenware bottle and sprinkle the spices stored in it evenly into it.

Soon, the rich fragrance filled the air, and Thetis and Astraea in front of the fire subconsciously twitched their nostrils, obviously their appetites had been aroused.

 “Okay, it’s time to eat.”

Lorne smiled slightly, picked up the spoon, poured the stewed broth into a clay bowl, and handed it to Thetis and Astraea beside him in turn.

However, after taking the pottery bowl, Astraea was not in a hurry to taste the delicious broth. Instead, she put down the tableware, looked back at the vast sea in the distance, and said with a little hesitation: "We will bring Lady Hecate during the day." Isn’t it too much to be left alone at sea?”

 Lorne answered casually while tasting the thick soup in the bowl. "It doesn't matter. The Three Furies and Eris can't do anything to her yet. She will catch up on her own."

"That's what I said, but throwing her off the chariot would be a bit..." Astraya frowned slightly.

It’s strange, why is she speaking so politely tonight? And the way I used to eat was not like this.

 “What, is something wrong?”

That fierce and energetic posture made Lorne instantly regain a familiar feeling, and he quietly gave him a thumbs up in his heart, sincerely admiring him.

Looking at Astraea sipping the broth under the firelight, the chef at the dinner had a murmur in his heart.

“Don’t worry, she won’t mind, because this is our tradition of friendly exchanges on Ayo Island.”

"one more bowl!"

Astraya subconsciously put down the pottery bowl, picked up the sheepskin water bag she carried on the ground, pulled out the cork, and took a deep drink.

 “What now?” Lorne asked.

 “That’s true…”

 Take a small sip and the broth will be fragrant and addictive;

 Put a piece of poultry meat into your lips and teeth. Not only is there no fishy smell in the distinct pieces of meat, but it also reveals the delicious taste of mushrooms...

Lorne came back to his senses, shook his head, and replied with a smile: "No, it's just that you were eating so carefully, I thought this meal was not to your liking."

What is chased by Warcraft, who has been hungry for a few days, what to play with sea monsters, what sheep who steal the one -eyed giant next door ...

Seeing this, Lorne quickly reminded him with concern.

Moreover, since she is going to Athens with us, and she will definitely take action if someone blocks our way. "

Or facing the promotion ceremony, he was thrown on a desert island by Hecate, and fought alone with a large group of divine blood relatives for three days and three nights, and then was tricked by her into dying with the Atlantis guards who came to patrol. knock…

However, as if she heard someone's secret teasing, Astraea didn't take a few bites when she was accidentally stuck by a piece of meat that was shoved into her esophagus, and she covered her chest and coughed violently.

 After listening to Lorne's clear explanation, Astraea nodded helplessly.

Seeing the diners regaining their appetite, Lorne couldn't help but smile again on his face, and immediately filled a large bowl for Astraea.

However, as soon as the liquid in the water bag entered her throat, the goddess of justice's expression changed. She lowered her head and spat out the liquid in her mouth, and looked at the sheepskin water bag in her hand in astonishment.

 “I drank a little urgently…”

 “Poof!”

Hearing Lorne's understatement, Astraea, who was still a little bit upset for Hecate, suddenly became dumbfounded.

 “Take a sip quickly, be careful of choking.”

At this time, seeing that the emotions were brewing, Lorne began to complain half-seriously.

Seeing Astraea finish half the pot without making a sound, Lorne quickly reminded her kindly.

Lorne was slightly startled and looked at Astraea with some surprise.

 “I brewed it myself. It’s a bit strong and has plenty of staying power. Don’t drink too much...”

 Perhaps from time to time, you may try a medicine on some stupid bird witch, and it will be poisoned and turn into a pig...

“Yes, don’t you really like drinking this with rice?”

Immediately, the goddess of justice no longer interfered with the affairs between the patriarch and his disciples, and began to enjoy the meal prepared by the Kitchen God's family member in person.

 The goddess of justice took the tableware and without saying a word, she just showed off her head.

 As a probing gaze fell on herself, the goddess of justice subconsciously raised her head and looked to the side in surprise.

 —This girl is such a man!

 “Ahem~~!”

 Are you providing such education for fear that he will live to adulthood?

Thetis on the side showed pity and sympathy, and there was even a hint of motherly love in her blue eyes.

"Actually, there is nothing we can do about it. Thetis has just recovered, and the two of us have little chance of winning against Eris and the Three Furies. Since you are all the guests I invited, I can't let you make any mistakes, right? I had no choice but to let Master make a small sacrifice.

"liquor?"

The goddess of justice in front of the fire coughed slightly, wiped away the remaining wisp of wine from the corner of her lips, picked up her sheepskin water bag filled with wine again, and drank a few gulps as if nothing had happened.

 “It’s just that I didn’t have a good appetite just now!” Astraya quickly explained.

Lorn reassured them with a smile, and then told Astraea and Thetis about his previous training courses on Ayo Island.

 It's hard work for those who can do it. Who said that she is the only one among us who can deal with those four scourges?

Astraya did not answer directly. She raised her head and drank half the bowl of broth in her hand, and then proudly handed over the empty bowl.

 “Don’t worry, it’s nothing!”

Astraya patted her chest, but her expression was still the same carefree look as before.

 As long as you are not drunk.

Lorne breathed a sigh of relief, simply stopped trying to dissuade him and concentrated on the meal in front of him.

 In half an hour, the three of them were satiated.

Astraya's pretty face was already flushed, and her eyes looked slightly drunk.

“Everyone, I’m full and I’m going back first.”

Immediately, the goddess of justice stood up from the fire and prepared to go to her tent.

　　However, it seemed that she had underestimated the influence of the alcohol in her body, and her steps were unavoidably staggering.

"I send you!"

　　Seeing this, Lorne quickly stood up and helped the swaying Astraea.

"Uh-huh…"

The goddess of justice, who was already on top, did not refuse the good intentions from the side. She breathed out a strong smell of alcohol and nodded vaguely in agreement.

As the blood flowed, Astraya's drunkenness became more and more obvious, and she gradually leaned on Lorne's shoulder, and her plump body also rubbed against Lorne beside her with her skewed steps.

I have to admit that the two generations of goddesses of justice were very nutritious, and their bodies were all of a crime-provoking type...

 Lorne had not taken a few steps before his blood began to surge, and the [Goat] behind him was about to move.

 It’s terrible...

Lorne immediately suppressed his impulse, sped up his feet, and quickly stuffed Astraea back into the tent before she was completely aroused to the point of turning into a beast.

Looking at the pretty face that was completely blushing, with her eyes closed tightly, and the two [Fruit of Justice] rising and falling with her heartbeat, a certain evil man dug out the snow-white scar several times, and endured it. He couldn't help but shook his head.

 Him the divine wine that I personally brewed with my power, and drank so much of it in one go...

　　Fortunately, your teacher asked you to follow me when you go out, otherwise, for someone like you, the Investigator series would have been shot several times!

After a slur, Lorne closed the curtain of the tent, turned around and walked towards the fire in the center of the camp.

As the footsteps gradually faded away, Astraea in the tent breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened her eyes, sat up and held her hot and sore forehead, gritting her silver teeth.

ˆˆ~~

In front of the fire, the dishes have been washed and the debris on the ground has been cleared. A graceful figure is patiently sketching warning and defense techniques on the tree trunks and sand.

“Would you still do this?”

“Not all nymphs are born superior to others like the goddesses of Olympus and are served day and night.”

Thetis responded lightly, patiently finishing the last stroke of the defensive spell, then turned to look at Lorne who was walking from the forest path, and continued to add calmly. "Furthermore, there are many sisters in the family, and my father and mother can't take care of them. I occasionally need to help take care of them."

 “That’s right, you are so virtuous. Whoever marries you is a blessing to him.”

Lorne smiled and praised, but couldn't help but see Thetis was slightly startled when she heard this, and her eyes towards him changed a bit.

It seems that in Greece, praising people is not the same as praising the law...

Aware that he was being a little abrupt, Lorne slapped his forehead, pointed to Thetis's back quickly, threw a bottle of mead he had made before to the other person, and changed the topic.

“Drink some, it contains herbs for analgesic and sleeping, and it also has some blood-replenishing and recovery effects.”

The ocean goddess under the firelight nodded, taking a sip of the sweet and fruity mead, her blue eyes flashing with softness.

 “I would like to thank you for your help regarding the previous matter.”

"In other words, if you hadn't helped me and Astraea at the critical moment, we would have fallen into the hands of those four women. If I want to thank you, I should be the one thanking you."

“If you are all caught, I will never escape the clutches of Eris and the Three Furies. Helping you is only helping myself.”

“So you see, it’s a lot of trouble to thank you and go away, is it even?”

Lorne sat in front of the fire, winked at Thetis, who had gradually become familiar with him, and smiled slightly.

However, Thetis shook her head under the firelight, her pretty face tightening a bit.

 “No, now it’s you who owe me the favor.”

As he spoke, the creditor took out the bronze emblem of the Gorgon from his pocket and waved it in front of a certain debtor.

 “Okay, I owe you a favor...”

Aware that his attempt to settle the accounts had been seen through, Lorne reluctantly agreed to the promise.

 “You said it wrong, twice.”

While someone was muttering, Thetis stretched out two green-white fingers in front of his eyes and corrected him seriously.

 For a moment, Lorne was a little angry.

 “Why are there more?”

 “Need me to help you remember?”

Thetis asked, then calmly pointed her fingers and mentioned the old things again.

“Except once for the island of Cyprus, there is also this time for the pristine ocean.”

 “Okay, okay, twice is twice...”

As the sea goddess reported the irrefutable facts, Lorne rolled his eyes and secretly cursed in his heart.

 Sure enough, Greek goddesses are all petty.

Especially the type who are smart and hard to deceive.

　　After receiving Lorne's formal promise, Thetis' tight face showed a smile, and then she strung the bronze badge with a rope and handed it to the man in front of her.

 “Put it on for me.”

As she spoke, the sea goddess lifted her blond hair from her shoulders and pointed at the white back of her neck.

Lorne glanced at it and hummed unmoved: "Are we so familiar with each other?"

 Thetis handed the bronze badge to Lorne's hand and said calmly: "Then consider it the first favor you repay me."

"Are you sure? My favor is very valuable..." Lorne said angrily as he stepped forward and put the bronze badge on Thetis' snow-white neck.

 Successful, a bright smile appeared on Thetis's face, she put this special necklace into her collar, stood up from the fire, and walked towards the tent under the night.

Watching the graceful figure of the ocean goddess disappear from sight, Lorne under the moonlight looked at his two hands that still had some residual warmth, and murmured and shook his head.

"loss…"

However, it is only a small loss at the moment, and we can’t say for sure in the future.

With a playful sneer, Lorne raised his hand to extinguish the remaining fire, stood up and walked to his tent, ready to take a good rest, recharge his batteries, and prepare for tomorrow's full schedule.

Although he successfully deceived Hecate on the Sea of ​​Oceanus.

But based on her true identity and strength, the three Furies and Eris combined may not be able to stop this incarnation of chance.

 So, it’s better to set off as soon as possible tomorrow morning and rush to Athens.

 Best, before Hecate.

This woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She cannot go to Athens for tourism, right?

  I hope there won't be any accidents over there...

Lorne rubbed his sore eyebrows, sighed quietly, opened the curtain and walked into the tent.

Then-

 He turned around as if nothing had happened, suddenly activated [Goat], and ran away!

"Snapped!"

A crisp snap of fingers echoed in the tent, and the exits and roads in front of him changed instantly, one branch divided into hundreds, and one branch turned into tens of millions.

 A moment later, the [Goat], running at full speed, passed through several forks in the road and wandered back to the starting point in a daze.

 “Why are you running?”

Along with the lazy voice, the purple-haired goddess of witchcraft sat up from the warm bed, yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking like she had just woken up, with her snow-white arms and jade-like shoulders exposed. outer.

Lorne looked at the entire tent with rhythmic light patterns, turned around helplessly, and forced a stiff smile on his face.

 “You must have been very tired after we were married, and the wind on the sea is so cold, so of course I will bring you a cup of hot tea to warm you up.”

“I can’t say that I was affected, I just had a friendly exchange with you. They are also easy to talk to and promise not to harass you again from now on.”

As Hecate spoke, she loosened the five fingers of her right hand, opened her mouth with a smile and blew lightly, and a few feathers as black as ink floated from the palm of her fingers to Lorn's eyes.

The familiar coat color and texture made Lorne's heart beat a beat slower, and then a bright and friendly smile broke out on his face.

"I know that the three vengeance goddesses and Eli are not qualified to face your majesty!"

However, while expressing compliments on the surface, Lorne could not help but gnashed his teeth and cursed in his heart.

 What kind of blood of Ouranos?

 What remnants of Nyx?

Hecate didn't even block it for a long time, and she even picked up bird feathers all over the ground, making her a pure piece of trash.

　　Hecate appeared silently in his bedroom and brought these bird feathers. The outcome at sea did not need to be imagined.

Eris and the Furies must have been severely repaired.

 Sure enough, Hecate, this woman, is ridiculously strong!

Lorne was secretly frightened when his guess was confirmed, and his vigilance towards Hecate was raised to the highest level.

“Okay, there’s no need to say more flattery, you should know my rules.”

At this time, Hecate waved her hand to interrupt someone's compliment, then raised her chin and looked up and down at the good disciple in front of her who had deceived his master and destroyed his ancestor.

“So, how will you repay me next?”

God’s gifts always come with a high price.

Similarly, God’s gifts and assistance are by no means free.

 The goddess with half-hidden curves in the tent, her beautiful eyes gleaming, seemed to have come up with a brilliant idea, and she spoke with interest.

 “How about paying with your flesh?”

　　…!

In an instant, Lorne's heart twitched and he looked at the master in astonishment. Then in the ambiguous and solemn atmosphere, he instinctively took two steps back.
