Zeus does not want to be the king of gods in Greece

How much thought does Poseidon have on this so-called festival?

"Indeed, human's festivals are not worthy of such attention, but such a large festival is still worth sending a clone to inspect, and if you want to 'rob' the princess in full view, it is tantamount to slapping the other party in the face."

"Is it just a clone?"

Apparently, Perseus' focus is completely different from Medusa's. From Perseus's point of view, a normal god is no match for him, but if it's just a god's avatar, it's not impossible to touch it.

"Perseus, don't provoke the gods. Not every god is as kind as your father. Once you meet Poseidon's avatar, don't fall for it. Get rid of their pursuit as soon as possible and come to the temple. I will find a way protect you."

Of course Medusa knew that she was not Poseidon's opponent, but pulling Zeus's tiger's skin could not deter Poseidon. After all, this poor guy was about to get Zeus's PTSD.

"I know, after all, I'm not arrogant enough to lead a person away under the gaze of a god."

Having said that, Perseus still kept a cautious eye.

The two young gods, Apollo and Artemis, made friends with him. Naturally, it is impossible to just give a blessing of walking on water. There are two other good things that Perseus has been hiding and dare not use lightly.

One of them is the invisibility helmet, and the other is the boots that allow people to fly.

Naturally, these two items were not forged by Apollo, but Hephaestus, as a new generation of gods, made good friends with Apollo's siblings, so he presented the work he had practiced as a toy to the two of them.

Since it is a hand-made work, the invisible helmet is naturally very different from Hades' helmet, but it is an inferior product that can only be invisible.

If conditions permit, Perseus will give Androda the helmet and boots. With the blessing of these two magical dresses, it is enough for Androda to reach this temple.

Generally, such things at the bottom of the box should not be handed over to others at will, but in Perseus' view, Androda is already his default wife.

Is it a thing to give it to the wife?

"I really hope you don't mess around, there's not much I can do for you."

After all, after teaching Perseus martial arts for so many years, Medusa deeply understands that this child is not an easy-going lamp, and her demonic nature is getting deeper and deeper. I don't know when it will explode.

"Is it really okay to take us in? I heard that Poseidon is the uncle of Athens. What if Poseidon asks her to hand us over?"

"Don't worry about this, Athena is on your side, as long as you can reach the temple, you are safe."

Medusa answered very decisively, which made Perseus wonder what the goddess of victory and wisdom was planning for herself.

Could it be that she has seen her identity, and plans to join the Roman gods to go to Olympus to rebel against her father?

Thank you, I have been filial.jpg

Although Perseus had made preparations before coming to Greece, Greece always refreshes Perseus's world view in terms of "filial piety".

only......

"Medusa, are you really not Athena? Otherwise, how can you judge that Athena will protect me so much? As a priest, Athena seems to have given you too much power."

Perseus was so skeptical.

Combining the words of Medusa before, Athena is a goddess who will surprise him. This should not be reflected in strength. After all, Perseus has a basic understanding of the fact that the gods are stronger than himself.

So it means that Athena will be a person he is familiar with, and it is not that Perseus has never seen the priests of the Athena Temple on Argos. There is no one who can have the same aura as Medusa said.

"It's an interesting conjecture, but Perseus, it doesn't matter who I am. I'm just a little god following the crowd, and you are the great descendant."

Medusa left this endless sentence and left, leaving Perseus alone to ponder slowly.

"How long can I last?"

In a corner where no one was around, Medusa rolled up her sleeves and looked at her innocent white arm, there was a little reflection on it, it was scales.

"Snake scales? Has it eroded me to this extent? No, I must persist, at least to push back Poseidon's clone."

Medusa slowly sat on the ground leaning against the wall, and the bright or dim light from the torch on the side shone on her face, and she could already feel the desire to destroy everything.

She's reached her limit, just if she can...

"Zeus... If it was you, if you came to kill me, how wonderful it would be."

In the shadow of the aisle, Medusa narrated her last wish, but she knew it was impossible, just as she refused to live, and Zeus would never come to kill her.

Both of them understood what the other was thinking.

Chapter 230 Six This Is Sparta.jpg

"Is this really ancient?"

Ilya walked on the streets of Ethiopia, looking at the bustling scene in front of her, it was no worse than the future world, not to mention that the magicians of this era do not have high restrictions on the mystery of magic, and occasionally they can see Some magic that is no less than futuristic technology.

"Humanity seems to have found a new way out after the mystery subsides. After all, the so-called science is also a way to pursue the truth."

Elegantly looking at everything, Illya, who was very curious, explained casually that she didn't pay much attention to the technology developed by the future humans that Illya said.

There is actually no difference between the "truth" explored by science and the "root" explored by magic.

It's just that since the magic in this world has developed to this level, why do human beings go far away to study science?

This seems to be related to the mysterious disappearance of the earth, and Illya can't explain it clearly, after all, she is just a primary school student.

"The main purpose of the Sea God Sacrifice is to sacrifice to the Sea God and bless the coming year with good weather. This is a very important thing for a coastal port city."

Athena introduced it like this, which is also the reason why it is difficult for her to win the faith of coastal cities. Of course, small cities like Argos are different.

Anyway, Poseidon doesn't like the things they put out, and they don't like answering them, as long as they have this basic respect.

This is the reason why the Three Goddesses of Fate and the faith of Athena competed for the leadership of Argos more than ten years ago, and finally drove Dana away.

"Sacrifice?"

The mention of the ancient ritual immediately gave Illya a bad feeling. She came to the parallel world in the first place to save her friend Miyu and prevent her life from being in danger during the ceremony.

The magic of this era is indeed similar to the era in which Illya lived, but these high-end technologies are handed down to the privileged classes such as magicians and nobles.

In such an era, even using living sacrifices may not be a big deal.

"You are right, there will be such sacrifices every year and they all need a young girl."

"How is this possible? That is a human life."

Ilya, who has received modern education since she was a child, cannot accept such cruel things. Even if it is only the city of Ethelbia, a young girl will be sacrificed every year. If all the city-states that believe in Poseidon So, how many innocent people die every year.

"This is the price, because Poseidon can smooth the wind and waves and calm the monsters, which can make them go to sea more smoothly. Poseidon controls the lives of these people, and those girls are not dead but will really be sent to Poseidon. The palace of winter serves him."

"I understand that there is a price to be paid for asking the gods to help, but do all the girls agree to serve the sea god? There is no such thing in the Temple of Athena, right?"

"really."

Athena nodded and admitted that human beings please the gods, and the gods give help. This is a process of mutual benefit, but the problem is that such mutual benefit is a market that is beneficial to the gods.

Because they are too strong.

"Just a few words from a group of people can determine the future of a girl. This is obviously wrong. Not all gods need to sacrifice girls. If Poseidon doesn't bless them because they don't sacrifice girls, then they are totally You can change to another god to believe in.”

How naive.

Athena looked at Ilya who was jumping a little anxiously, no one had ever said such ridiculous and naive words in front of her.

The belief of a city-state involves too many conflicts of interests. How can it be said that it can be changed at will, and for such a city-state that may change at any time, what kind of god will sincerely accept them?

only......

"Yes, it is indeed wrong to decide a person's fate with a few words."

Athena agreed, but this time she did not perfunctory, but sincerely agreed with this sentence.

Because she is a goddess, she is regarded as unable to become a god-king. Athena not only wants to become a god-king, but also becomes an omniscient and omnipotent god. For this reason, she even used her mother's love for her to obtain the divine power of wisdom.

In order to get closer to the position of the God King, she went against the muscular head of Ares time and time again, with the purpose of proving her ability by stepping on Ares.

It's just that without Ares, this guy really doesn't need a brain at all, and the losses in many places are so crisp and neat, which makes Athena's plan not go smoothly.

After all, can the masters of LOL in the S8 season be the same as the masters of this season?

Do you know what gold content is?

Now Ares has lost to Athena again and again with that attitude. Such a victory will not bring a sense of accomplishment to Athena at all, but will make people mistakenly think that Athena is a person who bullies fools.

She is the goddess of victory, but she has never won a victory of her own.

"The princess who should have been sacrificed today will be rescued."

Athena comforted Illya, but Illya's face was not happy, because she knew that if the princess was rescued, someone would arrange the next sacrifice.

This year, next year, next year, year after year...

"Don't worry, that won't be the case in the future, at least not in Ethiopia."

Athena seemed to be stating the facts, just as Illya said, since this city sacrificed a girl because of its belief in Poseidon, wouldn't it be enough to change the city's belief?

......

"Your Majesty Perseus, please take care of yourself."

The Poseidon Ceremony is about to begin, and Princess Androda, as the "bride" sacrificed to the Poseidon, is praying in front of the Poseidon statue according to the rules of the ages.

It's just that the object of prayer is not the entire city-state, but the "bandit" who is about to come and snatch him away.

Isn't this a kind of fumu... Ahem, anyway, the tauren is ecstatic.

"Androda, you don't have to worry about it, everything has been prepared for your father, but if this can't save you... please forgive your father."

Ops came to his daughter's side. If Perseus failed, he would definitely turn his back on him immediately, and even say a lot of serious things to his daughter in front of everyone.

"I understand my father. Originally, my father didn't have to take such a risk for me. No matter whether this matter succeeds or not, I will not resent my father."

Born in such a family, Androda was already prepared for the possibility of being sacrificed one day in the future, but he never thought that this day would come so late, and his father would take risks to make up for her.

"The ceremony has begun."

Following the attendant's announcement, Androda slowly got up, and then passed by his father, this time may be the last time we met.

If Perseus fails, then she will serve Poseidon forever, and if Perseus succeeds, he will also go to Argos, and it will never be possible to step into Ethiopia in the future.

"Princess Androda is out."

"It's really beautiful. This should be the most beautiful 'bridal' in recent years, right?"

"What a pity, such a pretty girl..."

"Hmph, what a pity. How many girls have been sent to the bottom of the sea these years. I just didn't expect the king to be willing."

......

Androda walked in the center and listened to the gossip on both sides. The girl who was sent to the sea by her father these years must be more flustered than she is now.

If the end of being sunk into the bottom of the sea is unavoidable, this is also a natural retribution.

As Androda walked forward, the priests of the Sea God Temple surrounded her, and at the same time, she also found a few cold eyes staring at her.

Is it father's political enemy?

Androda naturally understood that since Ops set the rules of sacrificing young girls, he would never let such a thing happen to him, so someone must have done it.

They have seen Opps' love for his daughter, and if he breaks his promise, they will be able to arouse public anger and overthrow Ops' rule.

Even if Androda appeared here, they couldn't reassure them. They knew that Opps was definitely not a person who would be manipulated by others. This was the last chance to save his daughter, and he would never give up.

What Perseus will face this time is not only the defenders of Ethiopia and the priests of the Sea God Temple, but also a group of enemies hiding in the dark.

"Perseus."

Androda muttered his name, even though she was already on the altar, waiting for the ceremony to take place.

"In order to thank Master Poseidon for supporting Ethiopia, to thank the strong wind for not taking our family's life away, and to thank the waves for bringing gifts from the deep sea, Ethiopia will still present you with a pure girl this year, I also ask Master Poseidon to accept it."

Following the words of the priests, the priests on the side took a step forward and approached Androda, which made Androda take a step forward, so the priests "escorted" Androda to the cliff above.

According to past practice, as long as she is pushed down, there will be waves to sweep her away and send her to Poseidon.

"Now let us give blessings to this girl, to our princess, Princess Androda, the pearl of Ethiopia, she will serve the Sea God instead of us, and pray that the weather will still be smooth next year, and return with a full harvest next year."

"FNNDP."

Normally, at this time, the supporter of the Sea God Temple still took the lead in applauding below, and then pushed the princess into the sea amidst the clapping and applause of common people.

"Who is disturbing, who is disturbing this sacred ceremony?"

The crowd backed away, and soon a pink-haired man with a strange mask and red patterns on his body appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"That texture? Are you a Spartan?"

Naturally, the Spartans did not have the habit of painting these lines on their bodies, but the Spartans have always advocated force, and with the introduction of the military merit system, it has been pushed to the top. The more military merits, the more lines on the body.

After all, the Spartans didn't want to do anything else, just to save face.
