Chapter 226 Persephone Can Marry
The wind, the rain, the thunder, the waves——

These powerful natural phenomena are considered to be the wrath or power of the gods, which is the origin of the primitive worship of the gods by humans.

But in this world where gods really exist, gods can really create these natural phenomena.

As Hestia intervened in the fierce battle between Hera and Pandora, the strong wind roared in the Sea of ​​Thira, setting off huge waves one after another, and torrential rain fell from the sky, and the dense raindrops were like a curtain that blocked the sight.

If there is a ship staying in this sea area, even if the ship is not overturned by strong winds and huge waves, the heavy rain falling on the ship will increase the weight, and the ship may sink into the sea.

In order to escape the storm, the coalition fleets of Sparta and Tenaron sailed to the north at the fastest speed, and the naval fleet of Donia sailed to the south at the fastest speed.

Roy chased the Donian navy with Persephone on his back, and was about to catch up with the ships behind. Roy suddenly found that his divine power was about to run out.

Seeing the ships of the Donian Navy sailing like arrows leaving the string in order to survive, Roy finally gave up chasing the ships, turned around and flew towards an uninhabited island not far away.

The islands in the Aegean Sea are densely covered, with a total of about 90.00 islands in size, and more than [-]% of them are uninhabited islands that cannot even be marked on the map.

Roy landed on a small island with an area of ​​about [-] square meters with Persephone on his back. When he saw a cave just under the hill in the center of the island, he told Persephone.

"Goddess Persephone, let's escape the storm in the cave ahead!"

Persephone jumped off Roy's back and glanced at Hera, Pandora, and Hestia thousands of meters above the sky.

Seeing that the battle between the three goddesses would not be decided in a short time, and the storm was covering the uninhabited island again, Persephone looked at Roy and said.

"Although I don't need to hide from the wind and rain, I happen to have something to ask you."

After speaking, Persephone led the way to the cave.

Roy followed Persephone into the cave, looking at the dark cave, Roy couldn't help but said.

"It's a pity that this island is full of rocks. Even if I want to drill wood to make fire, there is no dry grass and firewood. At night, this cave will definitely be invisible."

After Roy finished speaking, a soft golden divine light illuminated the cave.

Roy turned around in surprise, and saw Persephone's body glow with golden light, transforming from a human into a goddess again.

Sensing Roy's gaze, Persephone said with a faint smile.

"That way you don't lose sight of your fingers."

woohoo-

wow wow wow-

A gust of wind suddenly flew into the cave with raindrops. Persephone turned around and stretched out her left hand to point to the ground at the entrance of the cave.

A boulder immediately rose from the ground, blocking the entrance to the cave.

Seeing the cave turned into a secret room, Roy suddenly realized that he was sharing a room with Persephone, a man and a widow.

Looking at Persephone's flawless face and over-mature figure that fits the identity of the Earth Mother, just when Roy's heart couldn't help beating, Persephone suddenly questioned.

"Why did Hestia get involved in this war, please explain to me."

Hearing Persephone's words, Roy showed a hesitant expression on his face.

"Don't try to play dumb."

Persephone seemed to be able to see through Roy's thoughts, and said confidently.

"It cannot be by chance that Hestia did not continue to attack me with her thunder while I was with you. If you lie to me, I will turn you to stone for blasphemy."

Facing the threat from Persephone, Roy could only speak honestly.

"Goddess Persephone, I have been praying in my heart just now, asking the goddesses Metis, Mnemosyne, Amphitrite and sister Hestia of our Kingdom of Athens to save me. Originally, I also I didn't hold out much hope, I didn't expect that sister Hestia would really come to rescue me."

"Sister Hestia? What do you call Hestia?"

"After sister Hestia was robbed of the Argos region by Zeus and turned into a wandering god, I not only took in sister Hestia and the Argos who followed her, but also promised to help her take back Argos." Region. In order to reward me, sister Hestia made me sister-brother."

"So it is!"

Persephone looked at Roy with her beautiful purple eyes and said.

"You do have the potential to become a God of Heroes. As a down-and-out wandering god, becoming a sister and brother with you doesn't count as an insult to her status as a god."

After speaking, Persephone fell silent.

After a moment.

Roy couldn't help but said.

"Goddess Persephone, we are enemies, why didn't you kill me with all your might?"

"Why should I kill you?"

Persephone asked back.

"Don't you think I'm Hera's subordinate god? Today's war is a war between Sparta and Donia for their interests. I'm just providing some help as an ally. My Pylos region is with you There is no conflict in the Kingdom of Athens, so I have no reason to kill you."

Hearing Persephone's answer, Roy immediately felt that the blind student had found a point.

As Persephone said, there is currently no conflict between the Pylos region and the Kingdom of Athens, and Persephone, the patron saint of Pylos, has no reason to kill Roy.

So Roy walked up to Persephone boldly and said.

"Goddess Persephone, if the Kingdom of Athens can bring more benefits to the Pylos region, can you remain neutral? I plan to make the city of Athens a trading hub in the Aegean Sea, and the people of Pylos can come to our city of Athens to buy Any goods, including weapons, I can promise to the Pylos permanently free from duty."

The Pylos area will also be part of the Kingdom of Athens in the future, so Roy did not feel that he was at a disadvantage when he proposed trade tax exemption.

Hearing the conditions proposed by Roy, Persephone blinked her beautiful big eyes and said.

"The people of Pylos really need the salt, bronze weapons and other goods of the Kingdom of Athens. Are you willing to give us permanent tax exemption, just ask me to be neutral?"

"Do you think I should make the Pylos region an ally of the Kingdom of Athens?"

Roy said with a smile.

"In this era, there is no guarantee for a covenant without a marriage relationship. If Orobas, the king of Tenaron, has a young and beautiful princess who can marry me, then I am willing to form an alliance with him."

"There is no unmarried princess in the royal family of Tenaron City who can marry you."

"wrong!"

After hearing Persephone's words, Roy said boldly.

"The royal family of Tenaron has at least one princess who can marry me. I believe that Princess Persephone of Tenaron must be an unmarried princess who is neither married nor engaged."

"you--"

Persephone said with a dissatisfied expression.

"How dare you tell me such a joke, do you think I won't be angry?"
