Chapter 236 Hunting Goddess Artemis

Goddess Artemis——

Hearing Callisto's words, Roy couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock, and looked at the girl in the middle in disbelief.

As the princess of the city of Arcadia, Callisto was born to serve the priestess of Artemis, the patron saint of Arcadia, and she vowed not to marry for life and to become a virgin like the goddess Artemis. .

Callisto can be called the master, of course, only the goddess Artemis she serves.

As if sensing Roy's strong gaze, the girl in the middle—Artemis and another girl finally turned around.

Seeing the faces of Artemis and another girl, Roy stopped breathing instantly.

Because Roy's guess became a reality, the girl in the middle is indeed the goddess Artemis who is so beautiful that Roy can't think of words to describe it, and the other girl is also a beautiful and moving goddess.

The tall goddess Artemis is also dressed in the short skirt of the huntress. To be correct - Callisto's dress is imitating the goddess she serves.

Her long black hair like the night sky is tied into a single ponytail. Not only is the dress on her body black, but even the belt and strappy sandals on her little feet are also black.

Artemis' flawless little face has a frosty expression, and her beautiful bright red pupils are like burning flames of revenge, making people instinctively afraid.

The goddess who was accompanying Artemis as a maid had a soft expression befitting her status as a maid.

She was wearing a flower-like white dress, with a green belt that seemed to be woven from green leaves around her waist, and a beautiful long green hair that was loosely hanging down to her waist.

On her soft little face, there was a pair of crimson pupils like sunset glow, and her eyebrows were furrowed as if she was worried about something.

"You are King Roy of Athens!"

Although the Mycenaeans conquered the Arcadia region and made Artemis a desolate god who lost his territory and could only wander like Hestia, Artemis used the arrogant attitude that a god should have, as if He said as if looking down at Roy.

"I am the great goddess Artemis, the queen of the Arcadia region, and the lord of the beasts in charge of hunting and dominating the mountains and forests."

After listening to Artemis' self-introduction, Roy could only suppress a smile.

Even though she has become a wandering god who has lost her territory, Artemis still regards herself as the master of the Arcadia region. It seems that this proud goddess has not yet accepted the cruel reality.

Of course, Roy would not foolishly offend a goddess, deliberately reminding Artemis that she was already a down and out wandering god.

After Artemis introduced herself, the green-haired goddess followed suit.

"My name is Calypso, and I am the subordinate god of Artemis."

Calypso—

In another world, this is one of the goddesses who were belittled and humiliated by the Mycenaeans in mythology because they refused to surrender to Zeus after the Mycenaeans conquered the Arcadia region.

In Mycenaean mythology, Calypso was not only trapped on an island in the sea, but was also cursed to fall in love with all human heroes who appeared before her.

The metaphor behind the myth, to put it very bluntly, is to degrade Calypso into a fallen goddess who can do everything man can do.

Seeing Roy staring at Calypso in a daze, Artemis teased with a playful smile.

"Human, do you want her?"

Roy nodded subconsciously, and after realizing it, he immediately shook his head and said.

"I have no intention of offending Goddess Calypso."

"But I'm not kidding you."

Artemis turned around, looking down at the scene of the city of Athens and said.

"This city of Athens is the most powerful and richest city in the Aegean Sea region. It is worthy of being the trading hub and overlord of the Aegean Sea. King Roy of Athens, I heard that Metis, the patron saint of Athens, has only become a patron saint for less than three months. Are you willing to enshrine the ancient and powerful Artemis as the new patron saint of the city of Athens? You don’t have to worry about being retaliated by Metis, I will protect you from any gods.”

Just like when a king is kicked off the throne, some will accept their fate, and some will try to regain the throne.

A deity who loses the Patronus Throne will usually try to regain the Patronus Throne.

Because there is no god who protects the throne, he can only become a wandering god, or become a subordinate god serving other gods like Calypso.

Hearing that Artemis asked him to enshrine her as the patron saint of Athens, Roy said with wide eyes.

"Goddess Artemis, I am a priest who serves Goddess Metis, and I will not betray Goddess Metis."

Unexpectedly, Roy refused his request, Artemis said with a displeased expression.

"Although I don't like to be in contact with men, I allow you to be my priest, and I will give you my blessing and divine power. And as I said just now, I can marry Calypso to you. Don't you Don't you want to marry a goddess and share her immortality and power?"

Artemis was serious, and Calypso did not object to the hostess' words.

Roy looked at Calypso and couldn't help but said.

"Goddess Calypso! After Goddess Artemis loses her status as the patron saint of Arcadia, she is no longer qualified to be your master, so you don't need to obey her orders."

Hearing what Roy said, Calypso said with a faint smile.

"If your human ruler loses a city-state or tribe, there will be some loyal people following them. Although I don't know what will happen in the future, I don't want to betray my master now. If you are willing to become a priest serving Artemis , I will follow Artemis' order to marry you."

To marry a goddess and share her immortality and powers—that was Roy's long-held goal.

But Roy's goal is to marry a powerful goddess who owns the patron saint seat.

Because the stronger the goddess married to Roy, the more divine power Roy will share.

As the subordinate god of Artemis, Calypso belongs to the lowest level of gods.

The divine power she shared with Roy might not even be enough for Roy to defeat the Hero God.

"Goddess Artemis!"

Roy said hesitantly.

"Although I want to marry the goddess Calypso, she can't fully meet my requirements. If you are willing to marry me and let me share your eternal life and divine power, I can consider whether you should become the guardian of the Kingdom of Athens god."

"Do you want to die?"

Like an irritated female bear, Artemis stared at Roy with bright red eyes burning with anger and said.

"As a human being, wanting to pursue a goddess is already a blasphemy against the gods. I am a virgin goddess who has sworn never to marry. How dare you ask me to break the sacred vow to marry you—if you don't need to use you, you Now I have turned into a corpse."

Artemis took a deep breath and said angrily.

"Roy, not only can I marry Calypso to you, but I can also make Callisto break his vow of never marrying for life and marry you with Calypso."

"Goddess Artemis—"

Callisto's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't believe that Artemis wanted to break the sacred oath and no longer be a virgin serving the goddess.
