Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 265: When doing something like this, you have to stay away from people, right?
Under the gaze of the two goddesses, Cecrops had no choice but to stand up.

Before she could figure out what to do, Eros said something somewhat dissatisfied.

"That's not right? I'm a human too? Why can't you let me choose?"

Cecrops was only the king of this land, but Eros was the ancestor of all mankind.

Why did he single out Cecrops for this, standing here?
Unexpectedly, Athena and Poseidon rejected his proposal in unison.

"No, no, just forget it."

If Eros were to come, Themis of law and justice would probably be unable to resist coming down to hammer him.

Poseidon can't be trusted, she has Eros ptsd, and Eros is as shameless as she is.

No matter what happens, he will definitely not let himself have an easy time.

Athena, on the other hand, understood Eros more thoroughly.

She clearly understood that if Eros was given the power to make such decisions, he would definitely abuse his power for personal gain.

By then, a good thing will be messed up by Eros.

Athena had no doubt about this and gave Eros full trust.

This man cannot have power. If he has power, he will become a bad person.

Eros, whose request was rejected by both of them, could only shrug helplessly.

What can he do? These people have prejudices and misunderstandings against him.

How could he possibly do something like accepting physical bribes in front of everyone?
You have to do it in private, right?
Helpless Eros could only give up his position to Cecrops temporarily.

The most unstable factor was squeezed out by the two of them, and Cecrops stood in the center with his scepter in his hand.

She first looked at Athena, knowing that this was the goddess who had a close relationship with Prometheus.

If Athena had not appeared, Cecrops would not have remembered this.

According to epic legends, modern humans were created by the two goddesses Athena and Prometheus using the blood of Eros, the ancestor of mankind, and clay.

Therefore, the god that you have been searching for has actually always been by your side.

Cecrops smiled, knowing clearly what was going on.

Let’s look at Poseidon. He also met her once. At that time, Eros confronted her on the sea, and she was still very imposing.

But now, it seems that it is a bit weak inside.

Finally, Cecrops looked at the people gathered at the bottom of the stairs.

Would she simply and unconditionally choose Athena for the sake of Prometheus' friendship and relationship?

Just like Poseidon said, make the right choice.

A true king should not consider his own personal feelings, but what is most beneficial.

Whether it is the goddess of wisdom with whom she has a close relationship, or the god of the sea with whom she has had unpleasant experiences.

She should choose whoever can offer the best bargaining chips.

Cecrops' expression gradually calmed down, his eyes became bright, and he looked at the two gods Athena and Poseidon with no more awe.

"In that case, I will boldly take on the responsibility of serving the two goddesses."

Athena didn't care when she saw Cecrops was so serious about his work.

All she needed was someone who wouldn't be overwhelmed by Poseidon's fame.

As for that little bit of personal affection, as a king, he must set an example for his people and the entire city-state.

If people show favoritism and engage in conspiracy, then this country may rot from the inside out.

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. This is the same everywhere.

Since the situation had indeed reached a strange level of fairness, all that was left was for each of them to make their own moves. Poseidon spoke first.

"I am the god of the sea. If you worship me as your Lord, I will bless you and you will always have the help of the sea breeze when sailing on the sea."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone at the foot of the stairs subconsciously shouted in excitement and ecstasy.

"it is good!"

What does it mean to always have a tailwind at sea? Does Captain Jack know? This is the special effect of the Black Pearl.

For Greece, where most of the world is ocean, this blessing can be said to be quite powerful.

But compared to the excitement of ordinary people, Cecrops' face remained calm and he just nodded slightly.

"Then, respected goddess of wisdom, what kind of blessing will you give us?"

Looking at Cecrops' performance, Prometheus nodded with satisfaction.

That's right. The middleman just needs to wait for them to raise the price. It's wrong to be in a hurry to show your attitude.

"Will the sea breeze help you? Then I will teach you sailing skills, how to identify directions and build bigger ships so that you can sail to more distant places."

These words didn't seem to be as powerful as Poseidon's, and the ordinary people below the stairs didn't react much.

But Cecrops knew whether it would be useful or not, so she turned and looked at Poseidon.

"Oh, then I can also wish your fishing boats to return with a full load of fish."

"Then I will teach you animal husbandry and farming, how to better raise livestock and cultivate wheat seeds to increase production."

"I can protect your city from tsunamis and disasters. Even huge waves higher than the mountains cannot break down your city walls."

"I can teach you architecture and pottery, so that you can build taller and stronger houses, and more exquisite and durable utensils."

The two of them kept escalating the issue, talking to each other.

Perhaps from an outsider's perspective, both of them seemed to have suffered a loss and behaved somewhat unwisely.

But in fact, these things are within their authority, and it is just a matter of a word or a thought.

There is no capital in the first place, so how can there be any loss?
Athena and Poseidon were fighting, and Cecrops made pure profit. It seemed that no one lost in this battle.

However, as the two continued to escalate the situation, the tension that had originally subsided seemed to gradually rise again.

"If you believe in me, your ship will not be invaded or attacked by any sea monsters while on the sea."

There was something wrong with Poseidon's tone.

This is no longer a blessing, but rather has a hint of threat.

After all, she is the goddess of the sea. It is impossible that the people of Cecrops will never go out to the sea in the future, right?

Athena sneered and said.

"Then I will teach you how to defend yourselves and train your warriors so that their spears can pierce the throat of the sea monster."

The two were at odds with each other, neither giving in to the other.

"Believe in me, and I will be your protector. I will help you conquer the seven seas and become the strongest city-state on this ocean."

This time, Poseidon was really ruthless. When his trident touched the ground, a clear spring appeared on the flat ground.

From the clear spring, a neighing horse walked out, stamping its hooves restlessly.

Poseidon can bring war and bestow a large number of horses on this land so that they can pull chariots to conquer other city-states.

After all, she is still a horse god.

　Is the monthly pass still available? Just asking.

　　Don't you want to give it to me? Do you want to keep it for your baby?
