Greece brings evildoers.

Chapter 324: Tea art is not good, thick milk is needed (4k)

"It's you again!"

At this moment, Katniss on the field also saw the three people who had clashed with her in the morning. She couldn't suppress her anger and began to prepare for a fight with bad intentions.

"How dare you come to my house? You want to be beaten, right?"

Seeing this, King Admetus quickly stopped Katniss who wanted to go forward to fight.

"Catenis, this is a guest from the Kingdom of Iolcus. He has come all the way here to help Thessaly resolve the djinn disaster. You must not be rude!"

"Come all the way from Iolcus to help us? Is there such a good thing?"

Katniss raised an eyebrow and then sneered.

"When did that greedy old man Pelias become a role model of helping others? I guess there must be conditions, right?"

"Shut up!"

King Admetus glared at his outspoken subordinate, then looked at the two men and one woman beside him with some embarrassment and a wry smile.

"It seems that there is some misunderstanding between you. Why don't you three go to the garden first? My wife Alcestis has prepared a banquet there. She has lived in Thessaly for a long time and misses her homeland very much. When I finish these trivial matters, I will come to the banquet as soon as possible and apologize to you in person."

The handsome young man in the lead smiled and nodded, then obediently walked down the steps laid by King Admetus.

"It just so happens that I also want to talk to that niece for a few more words, so I won't bother Your Majesty."

Admetus breathed a sigh of relief as he watched several maids lead the three people to the garden.

However, before he could catch his breath, a hand slapped his shoulder heavily, almost making him stagger.

"Hey, he calls me the queen's niece? So he's your uncle too? When did Pelias have such a brother? Didn't the old man get rid of all his most senior brothers in order to usurp the throne?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Admetus stood firm on the throne, looked at Katniss who had slipped up at some point, and explained helplessly.

"They are Atlanteans from the Temple of Poseidon."

"Oh, it's Poseidon's offspring. I was wondering why I could smell a fishy smell from a distance."

Katniss nodded thoughtfully, looking in the direction the three men left, her eyes full of amusement.

Meanwhile, Loen, who was in the corner, was eating the watermelon with gusto, while speaking in secret to Medea beside him.

Cretheus, the former king of Iolcos, married his brother's daughter Tylo, gave birth to three children, and passed the throne to his eldest son Aeson.

However, Queen Tyrrhea had an affair with Poseidon, the god of the sea, during their marriage and secretly gave birth to two illegitimate children.

The current king of Iolcus, Pelias, is one of the illegitimate children. Driven by ambition, he took advantage of the rebellion in the country to plot to usurp the throne of his brother Aeson and exiled him.

However, due to his illegitimate position, Pelias became suspicious and cold-hearted, and was very cautious and harsh towards his blood relatives.

When Admetus, the king of Thessaly, was pursuing Alcestis, the daughter of Pelias, he suffered a lot of trouble from his father-in-law.

If Admetus had not happened to become friends with Apollo, who was serving a sentence in Thessaly at the time, and had not received the great help of the god of light, he would probably not have been able to win the beauty.

However, even though they were related by marriage, the relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law was not harmonious.

Without definite benefits, Pelias, who was selfish by nature, would not care about the life and death of his daughter and son-in-law. If Thessaly suffered a disaster, he would be more likely to take advantage of the situation and annex Thessaly when it was weak to expand his territory.

So, this is why Katniss was sarcastic when she heard that the three people were introduced by Pelias.

And judging by the reactions of King Admetus and the three people before, it was obvious that Katniss had guessed everything.

"The condition for their move was that I build a temple for Poseidon in the royal city and personally preside over the sacrifice."

Admetus said this, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

The intention was very clear. For the ruler of a country to personally offer a great sacrifice to another main god in public meant abandoning the original beliefs and worshipping the new main god as the guardian of the city-state.

The gods are just sleeping, not dead.

What's more, the main god currently worshipped in Thessaly is still the king of gods Zeus.

If I dare to do this so blatantly, I am afraid that after the sacrifice on the first day, I will not see the sun the next day.

Moreover, it is well known that Poseidon only cares about whether his beliefs can be spread and his own interests. He rarely has the habit of cleaning up for outsiders. It is better to believe that the Styx River has never been polluted than to believe that he will help you deal with the pressure after the incident.

Of course, it is also possible that this is exactly what Poseidon and Pelias want to see.

As soon as he died, the enemy took advantage of the chaos in Thessaly and seized the population and resources of Thessaly under the pretext of rebuilding their faith.

Lorne, who was eating as much water as he could on the side, listened quietly with a smile, without making any comments or reactions.

Admetus is not the outspoken type like Katniss. He said these things in public mainly to express the difference in closeness and distance and to gain favor. In the future, he might plan to use them to check the expansion of the Temple of Poseidon.

Unfortunately, Admetus's little trick was completely useless against Ron, who was of a higher level, and it was just a waste of time.

"Forget it. There are guests here, so let's not talk about these intrigues."

Seeing that his goodwill did not achieve the desired effect, Admetus had to stop the topic, with a gentle and humble smile on his face, he took the initiative to walk down the steps and ask.

"Katniss, please introduce me to your friends who have come from afar."

Katniss scratched her head, trying to recall the identity information mentioned by Ron and the others, when a low and solemn voice came from outside the hall.

"They came from Arcadia, sent by the goddess Artemis to help you."

At the same time, two figures walking side by side, wearing blood-stained golden armor, each holding a ferocious giant head in their hands, stepped into the palace together, bowed to Loen, with a relaxed and friendly smile on their faces.

"I'm so lucky to be able to fight alongside you again."

A small figure emerged from behind them and rushed happily to Lorne, its bright eyes flashing with excitement, like a thirsty deer seeing a stream.

"You're finally here!"

Lorne smiled and nodded, his eyes swept over the twin brothers and Helen, then turned to look at King Admetus and took the initiative to show goodwill.

"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Fortunately, nice to meet you..."

Admetus nodded quickly, his expression inexplicably stiff.

Looking at the reaction of the king opposite, Loen suddenly remembered that Artemis seemed to have used the excuse that the other party forgot to sacrifice to her and threw a snake into Admetus's bridal chamber, scaring the unfortunate king to death on his wedding night. Then Artemis used his soul as a bargaining chip to teach her brother Apollo, who was unwilling to bow his head, a lesson.

Not to mention that this guy is a descendant of a god. Even if a real god took off his pants, lifted the quilt and saw a snake baring its fangs at him, he would probably have some psychological trauma.

Of course, forget about Zeus and Poseidon, but the one who would be left with psychological trauma at that time would probably be the snake.

Seeing Admetus trembling under the power of Artemis, Lorne quickly spoke to comfort him.

"To eliminate disasters and protect innocent people from being harmed is also the mission entrusted to us by the goddess Athena and the shepherd on Mount Ares."

Hearing this, the frightened Admetus finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s good that the goddess of hunting didn’t send someone to find him specifically. Besides, with the support of Athena, the mother of mankind, and the shepherd on Mount Ares, he should be fine this time.

After feeling relieved, Admetus gathered everyone together, hosted a banquet, and explained the current situation in Thessaly at the dinner table.

The looting of the giants is currently relatively obscure, mostly in small groups, and the targets they choose are remote towns and villages that are isolated from the news. By the time the news comes, they have already fled. These giants seem to be quite cautious. Once they find something wrong, they will immediately dive underground. Facing the intricate underground passages, the Thessaly side has more people, and the other side does not show up at all. If there are fewer people, it is easy to use the tactic of adding fuel to the fire, which is purely a food for those underground creatures.

The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. The current situation is rather passive and for the time being, no one has any good way to completely eliminate the disaster.

Therefore, they had no choice but to decide to migrate the population as usual, shrink the defense line, let a few divine blood heroes lead elite teams to wander outside, try to find out the routes and nests of the giants, and then wait until the time is right to launch a thunder attack and achieve success in one battle.

After a brief discussion of business, it was already getting dark.

Admetus glanced at the dark sky outside the window, put down his glass and stood up.

"Let's stop here for today. You are all tired from the journey. You should rest for a night first. When you have enough energy, we can work together to solve the current problem."

Then he pointed in the direction of the garden and smiled helplessly.

"Since we have relatives visiting, I will not invite you to stay overnight in the palace. My two good friends, Telamon and Katniss, will be responsible for entertaining you. Please forgive me if there is any inconvenience."

Everyone listened to the king's friendly complaints, sneered, and nodded in understanding.

Telamon was responsible for entertaining the three princes and princesses from Sparta, and Katniss was responsible for entertaining Lorne and Medea from Arcadia.

However, in front of the mansion, when it was time to assign specific accommodations, Helen trotted over with her wand in her arms, approached Katniss and the other two, and whispered a request.

"Can we live together?"

"Why? Your two brothers are across from you."

Katniss scratched her head, confused.

"Because..." Helen opened her mouth, stole a glance at someone, then grabbed the pink little hand next to her and said, "Because, I miss Medea!"

"?"

Looking at Helen who was approaching her affectionately, Medea was stunned, her mind full of questions.

Are they really that close? Didn't they just have a fight?

On the other side, Katniss, who provided accommodation, was also in a dilemma.

"It doesn't seem to work. My house is not big to begin with. There are only three rooms. It would be a bit difficult to squeeze another person in."

"It's okay, we can squeeze in."

Helen answered without thinking, looking past Katniss and straight at Lorne behind her.

At this time, Medea noticed Helen's little action and suddenly realized.

She's actually planning this? This female vixen!

After saying a curse, Medea rolled her eyes and smiled sweetly.
"I haven't seen Helen for a long time. Let her come along."

"But the room..."

"I can……"

Helen was about to speak when Medea behind her answered first.

"Let her have my room, and I'll squeeze in with my senior brother."

Then she held Helen's hands, her eyes full of sincerity and enthusiasm.

"It's okay for me to put up with it for a while, but I absolutely cannot let my good sister suffer any injustice."

Well, it’s not enough that you and that she-cat ate my golden apples, now you want to steal my bed!
Knowing that her conspiracy had been exposed, Helen gritted her teeth, steeled herself, imitated Medea's expression and tone, smiled sweetly, and responded.

"No, as a good sister, how can I bear to let you suffer? And it was me who insisted on squeezing in, so let me take care of the training camp."

"That's fine, I can't let you down!"

"I don't feel wronged, I really don't feel wronged!"

The two of them chatted with smiles on their faces and looked at each other sincerely. Their arms were frozen against each other, leaving bruises on each other's wrists due to excessive "intimacy".

Seeing this, Loen couldn't help but shrink into the shadows.

It smells so strong of tea. If I drink it tonight, I will definitely not be able to sleep.

Looking at the pair of good sisters gritting their teeth on the field, Katniss couldn't help but reveal a hint of suspicion on her face.

"Are you guys so close?"

"Of course!"

"necessary!"

Seeing that Katniss was suspicious, the two of them loosened their arms at the same time and hugged each other affectionately.

Katniss hit her head and came up with a perfect solution.

"That's perfect. You two can sleep together, and that guy and I can sleep in our own rooms."

"it is good!"

Ron quickly raised his hand to show his support, his heart finally at ease. He turned to look at Katniss with a look of kindness and approval.

Who said that the Ares family are all reckless? They are really smart, look at how smart they are! They solved the core problem in one go!

When Medea and Helen heard this, they were stunned. They hurriedly let go of each other, distanced themselves, and explained with dry coughs.

"It's not impossible, but I'm not used to sleeping with outsiders."

"Me too……"

"You two have so much to do."

Katniss complained with a dark face, then waved her hand and made arrangements impatiently.

"Forget it, each of you can have a room, and I'll squeeze in with this guy."

"?"

"?"

"?"

In an instant, question marks popped up on the three heads, and they all looked at the host who provided them with shelter in surprise.

"What are you standing there for? If you keep arguing, it will be dawn soon. If you don't go to sleep, I will have to sleep too. It's a deal!"

After saying that, Katniss dragged Lorne into the house without waiting for the three to react, then slammed the door shut and activated the defensive spell.

Then, the clanking sound of armor falling, the rustling sound of clothes sliding, and the creaking sound of the bed came from the dark room.

Medea and Helen stood blankly at the door, their hair disheveled in the wind.
