Greece brings evildoers.

Chapter 328: Dionysus is the one who can become my father (6.2 chapters, total k)

"Father Zeus, Hercules, my friend, I haven't seen you for so long and you are still so brave!"

In the warm atmosphere, Telamon laughed, walked out of the crowd, and hugged the strong man affectionately.

King Admetus also came over with a smile on his face, pounding Hercules' rock-hard chest and personally picking up the wine jar to pour wine for him.

Both of them were old friends of the strong man, and they had formed a deep friendship because they had fought together against the evil beasts that were causing rebellion.

After hearing that Thessaly was attacked by the giants, Hercules rushed to help day and night.

When the three of them met, they naturally exchanged pleasantries.

"Hercules, my child is about to be born. Since you are here, why don't you help him choose a name?"

Hearing the request from his good friend Telamon, Hercules glanced at the sky outside the palace. A circling eagle flew by, which made his eyes light up, and he immediately came up with an idea.

"Hey, Telamon, may your child be as brave as this eagle. How about naming him Ajax?"

Telamon gladly accepted such wonderful meaning and blessings, and immediately gave his close friend a hug to express his gratitude.

Luo En, who was in the crowd, listened to the conversation between the three people, his eyes moved slightly.

Ajax the Great, son of Telamon, was a hero in the Trojan War. He was famous for using a bronze shield with seven layers of cowhide stacked on top of it to defend against the javelin of Hector, the great Trojan hero who was said to be unstoppable.

Fate, it's still spinning and moving forward.

I don’t know if I can rewrite the so-called "destiny" in the end.

Loen looked at Hercules, who had become the focus of the field. He wanted to take advantage of the time when the others finished their conversation to go and get to know this son of destiny so as to facilitate future planning.

Unexpectedly, Hercules, who was in the distance, smiled and walked over to him when he saw him, "Are you from Athens?"

Luo En nodded and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

"No big deal." Hercules waved his hand slightly and spoke frankly, "I just want to ask how Lord Dionysus is doing recently? Is he still in Ares Mountain?"

Luo En's eyelids twitched, and a trace of alertness appeared in his heart. He pretended to be curious and asked.

"He has been at the War God Mountain the whole time. Why are you asking these questions?"

While waiting for the answer, Lorne narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the changes in Hercules' facial expressions.

In fact, after the gods fell asleep, he had planned to take Hercules, the son of destiny, into his possession. At the very least, he would interfere more and train him in advance so that he could become a weapon to fight against destiny.

However, after only one secret contact with his mother Alcmene, who gave him the meaningful name of Hercules, he felt a strong sense of being watched and some kind of indescribable restraint.

Apparently, his excessive interference attracted the gaze of the three goddesses of fate.

To be on the safe side, Loen had to terminate this dangerous temptation and give up the tempting Hercules training plan.

And since then, he seemed to have lost his sense of Hercules, as if something had blocked his attention from this son of destiny.

If you count carefully, this was the third time he and Hercules had officially met in decades.

As soon as they met, the boy asked about the recent situation of the god of wine out of the blue, which made Loen himself a little alert, worrying that the three goddesses of fate were behind this.

At this moment, Hercules, who was completely unaware that the danger alarm had been sounded on the opposite side, scratched his head and smiled heartily.

"My mother said that it was he and Queen Hera who picked me up from the wilderness and brought me back to the city, saving me from death. I was still young and busy with my training before, so I didn't have the ability to go out alone. Now that I've grown up, I want to take some time to go to the God of War Mountain to formally thank that kind adult."

So it's because of this?
Hearing this, Luo En felt a little relieved and a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, I will convey your thanks to Lord Dionysus when I return to Athens. I will also ask him if he has time to see you."

Hercules heard the hidden meaning and looked at Lorne in surprise.

"You have a close relationship with Lord Dionysus?"

"Well, I am a believer of the Dionysian religion and an apostle of that lord."

Lorne smiled, threw out the spare vest, and continued to fool people.

Before he was sure of all of Hercules' intentions and whether there was any danger, he was not prepared to meet his younger brother as a big man, let alone let him climb Mount Ares directly.

After all, there are too many secrets buried there.

Whether it is touching the holy land and eighty-eight constellations of the sky god power, or the master Hecate who is imprisoned in the dungeon, these are absolutely things that cannot be seen in the light.

Who knows if the three goddesses of fate have always kept their eyes on Hercules. To be on the safe side, it is better to observe this little brother a few more times.

At this moment, hearing that the person in front of him seemed to be able to have direct contact with the god of wine, Lorne, Hercules' eyes lit up, and after seeing that there was no one around, he pulled the person behind the pillar and spoke in a low voice.

"Actually, I've been troubled by something recently, and I want to ask him in person..."

"What? Tell me about it, maybe I can help."

Lorne asked with a smile, and the affinity from the Rose was quietly released. Hercules looked at the apostle of the Dionysian Church who seemed inexplicably kind to him, and couldn't help but express his doubts.

"I want to know... is he my father?"

"puff!"

Hearing this, Luo En spat out the sip of wine he had just taken, his face full of surprise.

"The god of wine, Lorne, is your father?"

I treat you as my brother, you want to be my son?
A generation difference, right? Great-grandson? (The protagonist and Hercules' great-grandfather, Perseus, are brothers, so it's not wrong to call them that.)
Do you also want to have the traditional Greek scene of father saying goodbye to his son?
Loen was secretly alert and unconsciously kept some distance from Hercules.

At this time, the strong man touched the back of his head and gave a helpless smile.

"I'm not sure either. This is what a strange old man I met on the road told me."

As he spoke, he told the Dionysian apostle in front of him everything about his encounter with the old woman last night and the advice she had given him, and took out the Gorgon badge with his name engraved on it and handed it to him.

For some reason, the person in front of him made him feel very close and familiar, as if he had known him for a long time.

"So that's what happened..."

Loen stroked the bronze badge in his hand, his eyes thoughtful.

Hercules was slightly stunned when he saw this.

"So, that god of wine is my father?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

The person wearing the vest shook his head repeatedly and sternly rejected the recognition attempt of such a good boy.

Hercules frowned, "So, the old man was lying to me?"

"No, she was talking about a symbolic metaphor, not a blood relationship."

Lorne shook his head and explained in a deep voice.

"What the old man meant is that if you regard Hera, the Queen of Heaven, as the mother who gave you a new life and take her grace as your glory, then she thinks that Lorne, the God of Wine, who saved you with her, is the father who gave you a new life. Moreover, the God of Wine may give you the necessary help at the critical moment and become your spiritual mentor."

After listening to the man's well-reasoned analysis, Hercules suddenly understood.

But soon, new doubts came to his mind.

"Strange, why did she tell me this?"

"The answer is right there in the words above. You might as well take a guess."

"Could it be..."

Hercules thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up in surprise.

"Mister Queen?"

Seeing that the other party had figured out the answer, Loen smiled and left, giving Hercules some time to think and digest it slowly.

After all, they were not familiar with each other yet, and he had already brought a lot of personal opinions into the conversation just now.

If you act too close, you may end up making things worse and even attract the attention of the three goddesses of fate.

The most important thing for a cultivation game to have a perfect ending is patience.

But when Loen turned his back, the smile on his face quickly disappeared, and his face turned dark and he gritted his teeth.

I am the father, you are the mother, and you also gave me a son?

Didn't you get enough of me last time at the War God Mountain? If you want me to be your father so badly, I'll let you try hard next time!

After muttering a few words inwardly, Luo En calmed down a little and frowned slightly.

Triton and the two great mechas from Poseidon's faction came; Hercules from Zeus' faction came; the twin brothers from Apollo's faction came;

Athena and the god of wine, Loen, who he represented, also came: even Hera seemed to be interested in participating...

The situation in Thessaly is becoming more and more complicated. It is unknown what actions the old gods will take next, and whether this war will turn into the destined [War of the Giants].

Just as Loen was thinking, he caught a glimpse of the eagle circling in the sky outside the city, and it seemed that it took a long time to land.

Even more and more birds flew into the sky from the forest, chirping in panic.

No, something is coming!

Luo En was alerted instantly, but before he could speak out a warning, a series of dull rumblings spread from outside the city all the way to the palace. Wherever they went, walls collapsed and houses fell, leaving a mess. Dozens of huge figures as tall as mountains crawled out from the cracks in the earth and walked towards the city with a grim smile.
