Surren hammered his palm and said, "Let's go to the temple of Hestia and swear to the God of the Hearth in front of the holy fire..."
Hestia is the eldest sister of the Olympian gods. Poseidon and Apollo have both pursued Hestia, and Zeus has given Hestia the right to "enjoy public sacrifices first."
As long as the person offering the sacrifice does not say the name of the god they are offering to, the sacrifice belongs to Hestia.
Although Hestia sounds like the god of cooks, she is actually the protector of sacred fire, food and family. After Prometheus stole fire, all fireworks in the world came under the jurisdiction of Hestia.
This is a very powerful god.
What's even more rare and precious is that Hestia is very easy to serve!
She won't ask you to offer her any sacrifices, nor will she suddenly give you an oracle and ask you to do something. Instead, if you ask her for help, she will help you.
"Well... since I am the protector of the family, I have to have a family so that I can be better blessed."
Surren thought divergently: "I remember that Hera favors pure warriors who are loyal to love... This does not conflict with Hestia's conditions, and it can also be perfectly coordinated!"
"So can I get Hera's Chosen One as well?"
The goddess’ thighs are so fragrant, not as difficult to please as the male god.
Queen Hera has a husband who is famous all over the world for his philandering, so she is very, very fond of those pure love warriors who are loyal to love.
You swore to the holy fire of Hestia that you would be a good family man. Hestia might secretly observe you for a while before deciding whether to bless you.
But if you swear in front of the statue of Hera to be a man loyal to love, then Hera will definitely bless you and pay attention to you at all times.
Of course, if you break your oath, Hera will make you live a life worse than death.
Hera's ability was inversely proportional to her mind. When Hera got angry, she would not even give Zeus face. It was common for her to torture his lover and illegitimate child in front of Zeus.
Hera has more face than Hestia. Hestia only has the power to enjoy sacrifices, while Hera is the queen of heaven who was promised by Zeus in front of all the gods to share half of his divine power.
Zeus had seven wives in total, some died and some divorced, but Hera eventually became the Queen of Heaven.
"Well, Hera is really impressive, Hera is really impressive!"
After the situation became clear, especially after he confirmed from Cynthia that Greece was not just confined to the belief and blessing of one god, Suren became fully motivated.
The Olympian gods are very open-minded about mortals' beliefs and do not care at all if a person kneels down to worship multiple gods at the same time. If it were a stingy Christian pigeon, let alone worshiping two gods, you would be punished even if you made a totem and engaged in idol worship.
Surren began to ponder the blessings of other gods again...
Hephaestus was not very good, for he was not a blacksmith, even though he was blessed by the god of forging.
Aphrodite... is in conflict with Hera. As the goddess of prostitutes and one-night stands, it’s not pure love at first glance. Hera will definitely have an opinion. It’s better to choose Hera, whose thighs are more fragrant!
Hermes, the god of thieves and commerce, is a noob and just the messenger of Zeus.
……
"Oh, and Athena!"
Surlun's eyes lit up. For men, especially adventurous men, Athena is the thickest thigh in Greece!
This is the famous 'Mother of Heroes'!
Apart from creating illegitimate children everywhere, Zeus basically has no contact with mortals.
Among all the gods, except Zeus, Athena is the most powerful!
The reason why Athena is called the "Mother of Heroes" is because the opening of many heroic epics mentions the guidance of the goddess Athena.
And the conditions for Athena's blessing...
"Adventurous? And not hiding your ambitions and needs?"
"Isn't that what I'm talking about?"
"If I don't have a spirit of adventure, why don't I live a safe and happy life under Cynthia's protection?"
Suren walked into the city-state of Athens. As the name suggests, this is a city-state that worships Athena as its main god. When Athena built the city of Athens, she sent olive trees as a gift.
In Athens, olives therefore had a very high status.
Suren walked into the temple of Athena. There were many people outside, but none of them were qualified to enter the temple and worship the statue in person. They all put down their offerings, said a few words, and were driven away.
Not everyone is qualified to kneel down and worship the statue. This is a means used by the priest group to control the nobles and the king. Only during major celebrations and when the king offers sacrifices to the gods can one worship the statue.
Suren didn't know about this, because he walked into the temple smoothly without anyone stopping him, and saw the statue of Athena directly.
Below the majestic and exquisite statue, there is a pot of burning charcoal, with flickering candlelight on both sides.
Although Suerlun was very curious about why there were so few people in this place, he still put his hands together and said to the statue: "Goddess Athena, please bless me to have a hearty adventure!"
"And, I hope I can get what I want during this adventure..."
Does it mean that Suerlun really likes adventure?
That's not necessarily true. He is not those Greek creatures who neglect their families. For Suren, as long as he has enough sense of security, there is nothing wrong with not taking risks. Isn't it a kind of happiness to live and work in a small city-state?
Saving humanity or something...
Please, this was the most prosperous period of Classical Greece during the Age of Gods. This was a time when humans and gods coexisted together. Even if the sky collapsed, the gods would still hold it up. Why would a mortal like him need to work so hard to save humanity?
This time the simulation is very stable, at least much better than the British Island at the end of the Age of Gods.
It can be said that this is the stability and peace that Surlen has always dreamed of. He likes a world where everyone can laugh and do whatever they want.
only--
In the Age of Gods Greece, getting along with gods and meeting gods was an inevitable feature that could not be avoided at all. Here, mountains, rivers, sky, underworld, flowers, birds, fish, insects, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, fog and hail all had related gods.
Even if you run deep into the mountains and forests, you may encounter the goddess taking a bath and be transformed into a deer and killed.
Therefore, if you want to live a truly safe and decent life in Greece, become a winner in life that everyone envies, and complete the life archive... then it is very important to follow the right boss and hold the right thigh.
If you can find the meaning of realizing your own life value during the adventurous journey, it will be even more worthwhile.
Originally, Suerlun thought that it was enough to cling to Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting, one of the twelve main gods. She also had her brother Apollo. The two of them had a close relationship and could be considered as one god. To offend one of them was to offend both...
Fifteen years of tireless offerings to Artemis, and the goddess accepting them all, was the mark of a top performer.
I thought that if I could rely on Artemis, I would be able to walk around Greece freely, right?
The fact is that it is not possible!
From Cynthia, Suren learned about the goddess's troubles. He was shocked to find that Artemis was actually very weak inside. This seemingly glorious goddess would be in danger of her life even if she just loved someone. It was really a bit embarrassing.
Now, what Surren has to do is to hold on to Greece’s real golden thigh, the big boss who can really allow him to walk sideways in Greece.
Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war and victory, was born from the head of Zeus and took away one third of Zeus' wisdom when she was born.
"With Athena protecting me, it should be okay, right?"
Suerlun thought secretly, but heard a chuckle in his ear: "I have never seen a believer like you ask for the gods like this. Are you really asking for the blessing of the goddess Athena sincerely?"
Suren couldn't help but turn his head, and saw a bright and beautiful girl. She was wearing a toga robe dressed as a noble priest, and a wreath of olive branches on her head. Her golden hair made her look different from that of a mortal.
In the Age of Gods, blonde hair was a symbol of divinity.
However, because of this, this girl is most likely not a god.
Because gods do not have divinity, what they have is power.
"Pallas, my name."
When the bright girl's eyes met Surlun, a hint of surprise flashed in her amber eyes, and her whole attitude became much softer. Everyone likes beautiful creatures.
Pallas asked softly, "Beautiful young man, what is your name, and what difficulties have you encountered?"
All Greek gods love beauty, and it's not just Zeus who likes beautiful people, all gods like them.
If you want to be a priest of the gods, the first requirement is that men must be tall and strong, with skin that can be a model for bodybuilding sculptures even with a little oil; women must be soft and slender, plump and passionate, fully displaying the beauty of female lines.
Although we couldn't see whether the body beneath Surlun's leather armor was shaped like a bodybuilding statue, the beauty and the radiance of her soul were enough to increase Pallas's favorability at first sight.
God's vision is different from that of humans. The macroscopic view that God's eyes can see is beyond the reach of humans. In order to see through the skin to the color of the soul, Kelar still needs to set up a terrible Geis, but the gods are born with such vision.
"Palas... I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before?"
Surren muttered something under his breath, but still said seriously: "Ms. Pallas..."
Upon hearing this, Pallas frowned and interrupted him, saying, "I am not married yet, please don't use such a formal name for me."
"Well... Miss Pallas, are you saying that my simple prayers may not be able to receive the goddess' blessing?"
Suerlun said with a bitter face: "But I am penniless now. The last bow and arrow was taken away by Apollo, who also gave me a prophecy, saying that he would use that arrow to pierce me in the future..."
"Apollo..." Pallas smiled and said happily: "Young man, your worries are nothing to the goddess Athena!"
Suren was secretly surprised at Miss Pallas's magnanimity. She even looked down on Apollo. It seemed that this priestess had won the favor of Athena and obtained her promise of protection, right?
"As for the sacrificial ceremony you mentioned~" Pallas narrowed his eyes and looked at Suerlun's sad expression, which made his face even more beautiful, and said, "It's not completely without a chance..."
"Anyway, Goddess Athena has heard your request."
"That's good. Thank you for your guidance, Miss Pallas."
Surren scratched his head, feeling more and more confused. He probably hadn't read enough Greek mythology. He felt that Pallas was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was...
However, although I don’t know whether Athena heard it or not, it would be nice to have someone to comfort her.
"It seems that we need to prepare sacrifices." Suerlun thought for a moment and asked, "Miss Pallas, are you a priest?"
"Me?" Pallas pointed at himself and said, "Is that right?"
"Oh, that's right..." Suerlun said seriously, "Then do you know what the Queen of Heaven Hera and the Goddess of the Hearth Hestia like? What kind of sacrifice can please Hera and Hestia?"
In fact, Cynthia had told him a lot about the preferences and secrets of the gods, but Cynthia was a little too silly and cute, with an innocent look as if she had lived in the forest for decades. Suerlun was really afraid that her information would be outdated.
To be honest, the credibility of Cynthia's words was almost zero in his eyes, and he didn't really trust the little doe.
Cynthia would definitely not lie to him, but whether what Cynthia said was true or not, she herself didn't know, right?
Besides, one-sided listening leads to confusion. It’s better to find a professional priest to ask what’s going on!
Cynthia misunderstood the preferences of the Olympian gods, so at most she was unpopular, but she still had the dignity she deserved.
But if the priests got the gods' likes and dislikes wrong, they would suffer a fate worse than death...
The gods are good at torturing mortals.
"Hmm? So... you want to be blessed by three goddesses at the same time?"
Pallas's expression was very strange. He seemed a little surprised, as if he had never seen such a greedy man. But he also seemed a little appreciative, as if he had never seen such a greedy man.
Another goddess might feel angry and jealous, but this goddess would not. What she admires most is greedy and ambitious men, or heroes.
She thought for a long time without saying anything, just staring at Suerlun in silence.
This glance made Suer Lun feel at a loss, thinking that Cynthia might have really heard false information. Believing in multiple gods at the same time was indeed a taboo!
But that didn't make sense, that Cynthia fellow was also a deity, she herself was one of the gods, and if she was still able to hear false information, the stupidity of this little deer would really be taken to the next level.
Just when Surlun was getting anxious and about to have wild thoughts, Pallas suddenly smiled. This smile was like the beginning of melting ice and snow. The bright smile of the beautiful girl dispelled most of the haze.
"From the time Chaos, the God of Chaos, evolved into the five primordial gods, to the time when the Olympian pantheon was established, no one has ever been able to receive the blessing of the three goddesses."
"You really dare to think so!" Pallas said with a happy face: "But I like ambitious men the most."
"Since there has never been a person who has been blessed by three or more goddesses at the same time, let me help you become the first person..."
Pallas admired Suren's courage. She told him all the little details she knew about how to please the goddesses Hera and Hestia in the sacrifice. After comparing the details, Suren found that they were exactly the same as the information provided by Cynthia.
"Besides, I might as well tell you that Hera likes pomp and circumstance the most. Whenever she travels, she carries the authority of the King of Gods and Queen of Heaven..."
At this point, Pallas began to gossip about the Queen without any scruples, highlighting her fearlessness. She whispered, "Zeus always sneaks down to the mortal world, fearing that Hera will find out about his affair. So when you see thunder in the sky, it's basically Hera's outing..."
"If you go there empty-handed and seek Hera's blessing, then Hera will definitely think that you are underestimating her majesty as the Queen of Heaven. Not to mention blessing you, if Hera is in a bad mood, she might even curse you~"
"Thank you, I didn't expect there was such a secret."
Suren thanked him verbally, but he actually knew this a long time ago, so he didn't dare to be the first to sacrifice to Hera, for fear that Hera would feel that it was not decent enough and turn him into a monster like a dragon or a snake, and let him tend a vegetable garden, where he would eventually be killed by a hero who would be guided by Athena from some corner.
By the way, seeing the girl's outspoken appearance, Surren couldn't help but sigh that Athena really spoiled her, and reminded her with a little concern: "Pallas, you'd better maintain basic respect for the gods..."
You don't want to die!
"It's okay, it's okay~" Pallas waved his hand nonchalantly: "Do you really think Hera is so idle that she could hear it by such a coincidence..."
"Boom——"
There was a loud thunder in the sky. Suerlun fell silent and couldn't help but take two steps outside.
Hey, don't let your blood splash on me.
When lightning strikes you, stay away from me...
