Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 199 Leniency for those who confess, but jail time

 “Ouch~!”

 The next day, in the mansion of the Hearth Goddess, a muffled scream pierced the morning mist.

 The humanoid object lying on the bed bounced up like an electric shock and let out a mournful scream.

 “…be gentle…be gentle, that’s meat, not dough…”

 “Okay, just bear with it and it will be over soon.”

Hestia, who was sitting by the bed, quickly withdrew some of the strength on her hands and applied the medicine more carefully. At the same time, she looked at the bruises all over her body and couldn't help but complain.

　　"It's true that Athena used the big one to bully the small ones, but she was so harsh!"

"that is!"

As a victim, Lorne also complained with grievance.

What's more, the woman was in full-fire mode, obviously planning to beat him up for a long time.

"Before, she said that she would use the holy fire of heaven to make you a set of holy clothes for self-protection, so I poured part of what I guarded into it."

But Athena's strength is obvious to all. She is at the forefront among the main gods, and she is also a Valkyrie who specializes in battle and victory.

 “No, isn’t it on you?”

“So that’s what happened, I thought you just tore down the altar of heaven.”

 Fortunately, this is the pot before Prometheus.

Lorne breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Hestia's account of the causes and consequences.

Even if Lorne himself has made great progress, he will only be pushed to the ground and beaten when he encounters Athena whose combat power is beyond the limit.

“You are serious, why did you give her the holy fire?”

"By the way, where is the Holy Fire? How is it? Has the fusion been completed?"

Even if there were some slight changes in the inheritance of the Holy Fire, and there was Prometheus blowing the wind cylinder in the Caucasus Mountains, Zeus would not doubt them for a while, let alone think of his own good. Daughter Athena has become rebellious to this point.

 After all, if he met Hermes who was ranked last, or Ares who was a brainless fool, he might still be able to deal with it.

Thinking of the tragic experience of being beaten up last night, Lorne, who was lying on the bed and lying dead, became depressed. He couldn't help turning his head to complain to Hestia who was standing aside.

Now is not the time to fall out with Zeus. If you really smash Olympus's stall, it will be a bit of a fanfare and may easily cause unnecessary trouble.

However, there is one thing to say. The goddess of wisdom’s growing rebelliousness is somewhat inseparable from the instigation of Lorne, the culprit.

 The result of last night’s battle was obvious. He got up, and then was knocked out. There was basically nothing to say.

At this time, Hestia beside the bed couldn't help but interrupt Lorne's thoughts and asked curiously.

However, because his reaction was too intense, he accidentally touched the wound again, and a stinging pain like needles hit him immediately, making the muscles on his face twitch uncontrollably, revealing a grimace of pain.

 “What about you? Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?”

"It doesn't matter, this is the cluster that Prometheus stole from the heaven. Because it was contaminated with too much power of human faith, it formed an independent branch and could no longer be absorbed by the original fire, so Zeus Will you allow me to go down to the next world and manage the fire in the world to worship the gods?"

Hestia blinked innocently and explained patiently.

 Lorne nodded, then raised his hand slightly, silently reciting the words of God in his heart.

—The powerful fire of light, the most powerful of all origins, I offer it with poetry and wine!

In an instant, a burning and beating golden flame emerged in his palm, like a bright lamp that dispelled the cold and illuminated the darkness, making people feel warm, negative emotions swept away, and endless courage bursting out of the body.

Looking at the dancing flame in Lorn's hand, Hestia couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and showed a bright smile.

“Well, it seems to have been successful. I’ll feel more relieved when you have it by your side in the future.”

 Perceiving Hestia's heartfelt concern, Lorne couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

 The sixth incarnation—[Flame], this is the embodiment of Hestia’s divinity.

  Its function is to clear away all negative states and strengthen one's own divinity.

At the same time, this is also the fire of faith that links human civilization. When the user has the same ideas as the believers and the people, they can achieve resonance through strong appeal, and then gather the people's spiritual power and vitality into powerful magic.

 The purer the beliefs and the stronger the emotions of the people around you, the more powerful the magic they can provide.

Theoretically, this is the incarnation with the highest upper and lower limits, and has many possibilities.

Even, if it is fully developed and utilized, it may be able to surpass Athena.

 Feeling that there was a dull pain from the bones to the muscles, Lorne bared his teeth and clenched his fists.

　　"Whenever there is a chance, I must let her taste the feeling of being beaten!"

"No problem, I will help you hold your hands and feet when the time comes!" Hestia next to him also vowed to agree, showing off the spirit of supporting his family from the gods.

 “Are you there? I’m coming in...”

A faint groan came from outside the door, and the familiar voice made the master and servant in the bedroom shudder. They quickly smiled brightly at the figure who entered the door.

Athena looked at the two people who looked a little out of shape and asked casually.

 “What are you talking about? Are you so happy?”

 “The weather is so nice today!”

 “Great for basking in the sun!”

Hestia and Lorne were suddenly inspired and answered without thinking.

Immediately, they raised their heads and glanced at the sun that had not yet come out outside the window, and invariably looked away, feeling guilty.

To avoid further embarrassment, Lorne smiled dryly and took the initiative to change the topic.

“By the way, why are you here?”

“Come and see me, I’ll bring you some letters…”

Athena smiled slightly and waved outward.

 Suddenly, several snow-white owls flew into the room and landed on Athena's shoulders, combing their feathers slowly.

Looking at the cute and docile appearance of those little guys, Lorne's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ice

As expected, with cheerful cries, several white owls used their beaks to untie the mailbox from their talons and delivered it to Athena.

ˆAccording to the skillful movements, it is obviously not the first time they have done this kind of thing.

 Traitor!

When Lorne saw this, he cursed secretly with grief and anger in his heart, and then looked resentfully at the goddess of wisdom in front of the bed.

Until now, he still didn’t understand that these owl messengers wandering around the yard were all moles sent by Athena to keep an eye on them.

At this time, the goddess of wisdom turned the mailboxes in her hands, her eyes swept over the familiar carvings on them, and she smiled broadly.

“The Nine Muses, Artemis the Hunting Goddess, Mnemosyne the Memory Goddess, Thetis the Ocean Goddess... You are quite popular. How come so many people care about you?”

 “That, that’s all for the sake of Lady Hestia…”

Lorne explained with a dry smile, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck.

 “No problem! I’m not familiar with most of them!”

Hestia shook her head and retorted with a cold snort. Then she looked at the patient lying on the bed and gritted her teeth.

“So, should you explain what’s going on with them?”

“Say it, it’s just a normal relationship, my aunt won’t blame you, it’s no big deal...”

Athena on the side was also giving advice in a gentle voice, appearing extremely reasonable.

Looking at the two goddesses one behind the other, Lorne swallowed his saliva, immediately scratched his neck, and complained with grief and anger.

 “Isn’t this all done for you?”

"I?"

Hearing the rhetorical question, Athena couldn't help but be startled.

While Athena was stunned, Lorne counted them with his fingers with resentful eyes.

"The Nine Muses and the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, are important contributors to the compilation of books and codes. They must be roped in because they are related to the future construction of Athens. Artemis was introduced by you, and she is not just familiar with me. Initially, it was because The incident in Crete was put together; let alone the incident with Thetis. It was you who insisted on plucking someone else's hair. There is no grudge or grudge. I have to repair the relationship and make amends, right? "

 Listening to Lorne's explanation, Hestia nodded frequently.

　　That seems to be true.

 Unknowingly, this guy has secretly done so much for Athena.

 Obviously, I am his main god...

 The hearth goddess felt a little sour when she thought of this, and looked at her eldest niece aside with a hint of vigilance.
