Ares, God of War

"Huh? I suggest you think carefully. After all, you are also a goddess. What if I make a black-hearted contract to punish you?" Ares said: "If you go back on your word afterwards, I will not take any responsibility. "

"No need." Medusa bit her lower lip, and then said: "Three days, please use these three days to save my believers, at least don't let them all die in this place .”

"Okay, deal." Ares's voice rose slightly, and he seemed a little happy: "Then it's time to conclude the contract, beautiful lady, please accept the magic that I passed on to you, and then follow what I said. read."

……

Hearing what Ares said, Medusa was a little worried at first, but to her surprise, the conditions offered by Ares remained the same, still so generous, and the God of War would ask the Spartans to rescue her believers, those Pelasgians, and all she has to do is stay in Athena's temple, and then convey to the God of War what Athena has done today.

Even God of War would provide her with a guarantee of personal safety. He added a clause in the contract that if Medusa was in trouble, he could directly call him to help.

It seems that this God of War really came here to do such a series of things just to find ways to disgust Athena.

And on the morning of the second day after the signing of the contract, the priest's clothes on Medusa's ship came to Athena's temple shortly after, and immediately saw the leader of the Athenians coming to see the goddess.

"Dear Athena." The leader of the Athenians bowed his head to Athena: "The commanders of the Spartans came to me again, and they said they wanted to talk about a business."

"Oh?" Athena asked, "What kind of business?"

"They want to buy slaves." The leader of the Athenians replied: "These Spartans seem to have taken a fancy to the Pelasgis we have captured."

Chapter 42. We Are All Prisoners

"Buying slaves?"

Athena glanced at Medusa upon hearing this.

"Other city-states are full of slaves. This is not a rare thing. Why do the Spartans insist on buying from us?"

"This one……"

The leader of the Athenians looked a little embarrassed.

"Just say it directly."

"Yes."

With the consent of Athena, the leader of the Athenians cleared his throat, and then slowly said: "Actually, last night, those Spartan commanders led a few Spartan soldiers to practice with our people. They Only five of us beat the soldiers we used to guard the slaves until they couldn't get up... Seeing this situation, the Spartan commander said that we Athenians are all weak, if this continues It’s better to wait for the Atlanteans to come and surrender directly, instead of throwing those slaves to waste, it’s better to sell the slaves to them and let them train and help us deal with the Atlanteans.”

"Five people knocked down all the slave camp guards in Athens? I remember that there were three hundred soldiers guarding the slave camp, right?"

Athena's tone was so steady that no fluctuations could be heard, but it caused bursts of cold sweat to break out from the back of the leader of the Athenians.

He quickly knelt down and prayed to Athena:

"I'm sorry, Goddess, it's all my fault. I didn't train our soldiers well! Let Athens lose face in front of Sparta!"

Athena looked down at him, and after a long while, she slowly said: "Get up, it's not your fault, our city of Athens has just been established, and you are not seasoned fighters with no combat experience. It's normal to be no match for the Spartans."

The leader of the Athenians stood up, walked directly to the side, lowered his head obediently, stood up straight, and did not dare to say a word, while Athena held her chin and thought carefully.

[Aris, does he know about Medusa?But how did he know about Medusa? 】

The goddess' eyes flickered, but when she looked up, she caught a glimpse of the black bow hair ornament on the side of Medusa's hair. She froze for a moment, and then asked:

"Medusa, why haven't you seen you wear that bow hair ornament on your head before?"

Medusa touched the hair ornament on her head, thinking of what Ares said to her last night, and then answered Athena truthfully:

"Yesterday, I went to the slave camp to deliver food. I met a slave who had just been captured. I gave him a share of food and water, and he gave me his 'mother's relic'."

"slave?"

The eyes of the goddess turned to the leader of the Athenians, who quickly lowered his head and replied: "There is indeed such a thing. Yesterday a wild man ran outside the city and stole our warrior's bow and arrow. Later, our people went to him They were caught and thrown into a slave camp."

"Really? Humph."

Athena then waved to Medusa kindly:

"Medusa, come here."

As a priest, Medusa walked obediently under the call of the goddess like a puppet.

Athena stretched out her fingers and pinched Medusa's delicate and white chin, causing her to raise her head slightly. The other hand gently stroked her face and said softly:

"My dear Medusa, in the future, don't casually contact any dubious people."

"I understand."

A trace of fear flashed in Medusa's purple eyes, and she said softly.

"Well, good boy."

Athena caressed the ends of her hair, gently took off the headdress she was wearing, and then pinched it slightly.

In a burst of golden light, the hair ornament immediately shattered into a pile of blue spirits, and disappeared.

Then, Athena withdrew her hands, and then ordered coldly:

"Send someone to get rid of that slave."

"Yes."

"Also." Athena stopped the Athenian leader who was about to carry out the order, and continued to order: "The group of Spartans want to buy slaves, so let them buy them, but this time, they can't use gold slaves." They are exchanged for silver, but must be exchanged for weapons and equipment or manufacturing technology.”

"Your will."
