The priest led Zeus into the temple. He is not afraid of being deceived. There are guards in armor around the temple. It is difficult to get out after entering this door. If they lie, they can directly let the guards take action.
As for how to verify Dana's words, it is actually very simple. The underdeveloped transportation and communication in this era are only for ordinary people, but it is different for magicians or priests like them.
The high-level priests of the temple have a way to communicate with each other, as long as he reports the information, then the priest can determine the truth.
"Dana has arrived at a safe place, Jupiter, what you want, you can mention it to Dana now."
Dana fluttered on the sofa and seemed relaxed and comfortable, but in fact she knew that everything had just begun.
The reason why she wanted to return the gift to Zeus so early was because she could only repay Zeus' kindness now.
As the princess of Argos, Dana still has the right to claim the city-state even though she is in trouble. As long as Athena makes good use of the way to regain her faith, it will be much more convenient.
But the problem is that this is not done in a pinch, as time goes by, Dana will lose the initiative, so it is better to put forward conditions at this time to repay Zeus' kindness.
Anyway, Dana didn't expect to break into the palace and take the bird position, and then a shelter from the wind and rain would be enough.
"It's not urgent, let's talk about it after you are sure of your safety."
Zeus savored the refreshments here, and with his shameless ability to collect pensions, he didn't think much of Dana's repayment, but he just wanted peace of mind.
But the person he met next made his heart almost jump out of his throat.
"Princess Dana is happy... Zhou..."
Medusa was wearing a white priestly long dress, and her upper body was covered with tulle. At this time, she no longer had the innocence of the past. If Zeus hadn't seen Medusa in the state of a servant in the future, I am afraid that she would have almost died at this time. Can't recognize it.
"Wait, I think we can talk in another place."
Zeus didn't care too much at this time, he got up and came to Medusa's body as fast as he could, and covered her mouth with his hands, but he couldn't control his strength naturally under such anxiety.
Accidentally pushed Medusa into a corner, the distance between the two was so close that they could even hear each other's breath clearly.
"Jupiter? You...you actually..."
Dana looked at what Zeus did in shock. You must know that although Athena did not declare herself a virgin goddess to Hestia, she was very strict in her selection of female priests.
But it is impossible for anyone who is not perfect to touch this seat, which in a sense shows the inclination of God.
But Zeus dared to do such a thing in this temple. Fortunately, such a mature priest did not shout, otherwise this would have constituted blasphemy.
"Jupiter?"
Medusa was chanting this name, and she was still surprised by the appearance of Zeus at this moment. You must know that Zeus disappeared for a full 100 years, and then appeared out of thin air, and even changed his name.
"Please, this is my lifelong request, do you want to fool the situation in front of you?"
Zeus approached Medusa's ear, lowered his voice as much as possible, and at the same time glanced at Dana.
After all, this girl is a devout follower of Athena, if Athena finds out that she is here when she is praying, she might have to go home and work overtime again in hell.
"Well, I see, Ju... Jupiter, you're too close."
The slightly warm moisture hit Medusa's ears, which directly made Medusa feel bad.
A hundred years is nothing to her, but as her body matures, she also begins to understand some things between men and women.
This kind of close contact with the opposite sex is completely beyond her acceptable range. If the person in front of her is not Zeus, her scythe will be too hungry.
"Do you know Jupiter?"
"Of course, we were old friends in the past, and this time we met by chance, so let's talk about the past first."
Zeus found an excuse and pulled Medusa out, leaving the gradually petrified Dana stuck in place.
What is the origin of that guy Jupiter? Even the priest of Athena is not clear with him.
......
"Zeus, you are finally back."
After all, Medusa is Athena's priest, and flirting with a man is really ruining Athena's reputation, so she dragged Zeus to a room where no one was there.
The return of Zeus made her almost cry with joy. She was forced to stand against the gods during the Typhon Rebellion, which made her blame herself for a long time.
Especially the disappearance of Zeus made her worry that such a thing would happen to her sister again, so she followed her sister and Mount Olympus and came to Athena's temple to hide her identity as an ordinary priest.
"Sorry for worrying you."
Although Zeus wanted to be bad from the bottom of his heart, he also understood the expectations of the people around him. When Cronus predicted that there would be a stronger heir than him, he almost laughed out loud.
Doesn't this just happen to be the best candidate for his son to inherit his father's career?
So Zeus is still more pretentious before other gods, but in his heart he hopes that someone will overthrow him, and then use stronger power to lead them against the white giant.
But now that the true face of the bad show is about to be exposed, he can't help but get nervous.
"Since you are back, why don't you go to Olympus, recently Yaya and Ares..."
Medusa was halfway through her speech when she saw Zeus hesitate to speak.
Obviously Zeus knew a thing or two about Olympus, so why didn't he return to Olympus as soon as possible, the two fighting people are his heirs.
"Zeus, don't you..."
Is the truth about to be revealed?
Zeus sighed, his god-king figure would collapse today.
"You want to test them."
Medusa took a deep breath, and then expressed her guess.
As a visionary god-king, Zeus has only just returned to Greece, and he still doesn't know the character of his descendants. If he returns to Olympus rashly, he will prepare Athena and Ares for a disguise.
Only when they are careless, when the position of the god king is vacant, will they show their true colors.
This is a trial test for the two heirs before Zeus returns.
"Huh? Ah, yes, yes, this is what I think."
What test? Zeus didn't understand at all, but since Medusa gave him a step, he immediately took the donkey down the slope.
"My current position, Medusa, cannot be revealed yet. You must remember not to tell anyone about me, not even your sisters."
Zeus immediately put on a serious face. As long as he can hide it from Olympus and wait for all the dust to settle, then he, the "former" god-king, can return to power and live a happy life of his own.
Chapter 160: A city is in trouble, praise from all directions
"Medusa, are you listening?"
"Sorry, I was distracted."
Before the holy fire, Medusa heard Athena's call, she recovered and realized that she had lost her mind during the communication with Athena.
"You seem to be restless recently."
Athena was a little worried whether Medusa could not suppress the demonic nature in her body, after all, it was something from the demon ancestor Typhon, and it was not easy to remove.
"It's okay, where did you just say?"
"I need all the temples in Greece to help me find a man, a white-haired young man who is good at using lightning."
White hair, good at thunder and lightning, doesn't this put Zeus on his face?
Medusa looked at Athena in surprise, obviously she didn't say anything, but why Athena already knew about Zeus's arrival.
"Athena, this is..."
"Yes, I am looking for my father."
Since Zeus wanted to hide it, Athena dug him out.
Whatever Zeus may have planned, the real threat to Athena is unknowability.
The enemy is in the dark, and she is not clear about all the actions of Zeus. When there is a lack of information, even the wisdom and theocracy cannot guess a reasonable answer.
As long as Zeus can be found and forced to the stage, then Athena with wisdom and divine power can take the initiative.
"The change of the Spartans before was probably caused by Zeus."
"Is this...confirmed?"
Medusa promised to help Zeus hide her tracks, but she didn't expect it to be exposed after a few days. Could it be that she slipped her mouth?
"A proof that is not evidence. I once went to Prometheus, hoping to use his clairvoyance, but he dared not answer me."
Pig mate.
Medusa cursed secretly, since she knew that Zeus was back and didn't take the initiative to show up, there must be a plan, just say that she didn't find it, it's not self-inflicted to cover up like this.
If Prometheus found out about this, he would have to complain about it. Who knew that Zeus would talk like that, but if Zeus yelled at her like this, Medusa might want to cover her head and squat down on the spot.
"About the Argos princess you mentioned...you don't have to force yourself to regain the faith of that city-state. Now is not the time to fight against the three sisters of fate."
As a god, Athena naturally understands that although the so-called competition for faith is a KPI formulated by their gods, the specific implementation methods are all formulated by the priests below.
Disputes between humans generally do not affect the relationship between gods.
Just like Athena at this time said at most that the priests of Argos did not talk about martial arts, and would not involve the three sisters of fate.
The top priority right now is Ares and Zeus.
"Then let me assist Laconia."
Medusa hastily took over this task, if the work fell on her, then she would be able to cover Zeus' tracks.
"Don't force it. The vicinity of Laconia seems to be unstable recently. Protecting the temple is the most important thing."
Athena clearly understood the relationship between Medusa and Zeus, if she were asked to investigate Zeus, it would be a complete blow to a dog.
However, all the priests in Laconia are under her control, and it is basically impossible to bypass her. What's more, the Spartans have started to have a little friction with Laconia these days.
If the diocese of Laconia was lost because of Zeus, it would be a big loss.
Of course, the worst case scenario is that Zeus is hiding in the parish of Ares. Even if that muscular head has Hera's point, it can't play Zeus.
Even if Zeus was squatting under his nose, Ares might not be able to notice it.
"Sparta has recently marched towards Laconia, but the surrounding cities have not responded at all."
Unlike the temple priests who are mostly composed of magicians, many city-states may not be able to hire magicians, which means that Laconia at this time is ignorant of the imminent threat.
"This... I will inform the king immediately..."
"Forget it, informing them is just to let them escape, it's better to let them stay in the city, at least they are willing to fight the enemy seriously."
Although Athena didn't have much prejudice against humans, the diocese of Laconia was an important diocese, and she had enough understanding of the situation here.
This is also a city-state with a developed economy but insufficient military strength. It has taken advantage of the century-old covenant for so many years.
There are quite a few city-states who are jealous of Laconia. Although I don't know who paid for it, it is very satisfying for Laconia to suffer.
There are difficulties in a city, praise from all directions.
Even if the king was informed in advance, the result would be to abandon the city and run away. After all, the city-state alliance has been around for a hundred years, and there are countless marriages.
I lost the kingship in Laconia, maybe I can go to another city to be a finance minister tomorrow, and I am still a master, and everyone has a bright future.
But if they are trapped in the city, they will more or less organize some forces to fight against them. If they survive, Athena will win.
Of course, Athena couldn't allow the priests and priests in the temple to provide magical support, otherwise the Spartans would invite out the priests in the Temple of War, and they might have to fight Ares on the spot.
Now that Zeus can't hide, it's really not the time to fall out.
"Everything is according to your will, but I hope that when the worst happens, the temple can provide shelter for the poor as much as possible."
There is nothing wrong with Athena's approach, and there is nothing wrong with Medusa, but she, who has lived here for many years, understands that the reason why Laconia can do business so safely is because it is surrounded by other city-states.
Using other city-states as shields, Laconia can focus fully on the economy.
The so-called garrison is just a show, a thing that will collapse at the touch of a finger.
She has already foreseen the scene where the city of Laconia will be destroyed, and those Spartans will enter the city to burn, kill and loot.
"Yes, you are fully responsible for the affairs of Laconia, and I can rest assured that you will handle the matter."
Even if the city of Laconia is destroyed, life will still be as usual for Athena. The Spartans are nothing more than a group of bandits in the final analysis. According to the logic of the previous actions, they can leave after they rob and leave without threatening the temple.
Coupled with the kindness of Medusa, she will definitely win over many hearts in the process. Although the impact of the Spartans has destroyed the trust of the city-state alliance, it is not without a little benefit for Athena herself.
After all, gods who can empathize with people are just a very small number of aliens.
After the flames dissipated, Medusa left the prayer room, and saw Zeus and Dana playing together. The two seemed to be arguing over a piece of muffin. Those who didn't know it thought it was a sibling quarrel.
"Tsk, your mistress is here."
