The Greece Antagonist

The atmosphere in the great hall, which had just eased, became oppressive once again, and the mood of the father and daughter was inevitably heavy.

"Well, there's no time to lose. To avoid further complications, I must set out immediately and return to Olympus!"

After imparting a portion of her strategic plans, the goddess who presided over wisdom and victory displayed her resolute and decisive nature. She rose to her feet and with a deep voice, gave her instructions to King Minos and her own high priestess.

"After my departure, the matters of Crete Island are in your hands. Should you encounter any trouble that you cannot resolve..."

Athena paused briefly, standing before the palace steps, her gaze stretching toward a certain part of Knossos City under the veil of night, her purple eyes flickering with a mysterious light.

"You can go to the third street, to the house numbered seven. There might be someone there who can help you..."

"Are you referring to the Divine Envoy?"

Priestess Ariadne, upon hearing this, remembered the report from several priestesses before departure and the bronze serpent emblem impression they brought, her eyes lighting up with realisation.

Athena smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying, a playful curve forming on her lips.

"When you go, bring two portions of desserts for me, remember, they should be offerings."

"Ah?"

Upon this strange request, the high priestess was taken aback. However, before she could voice her confusion, Athena had already spread her metallic wings and, transforming into a beam of light, disappeared from the great hall.

Desserts? Offerings?

Stunned, Princess Ariadne and King Minos exchanged glances, then solemnly nodded, engraving the goddess's last instruction deep into their hearts.

Indeed, the Lady Goddess must have had a profound reason for this!

Meanwhile, on the third street, at the house of Hestia.

Luo En lay sprawled on his soft bed in the shape of a "big" character, lazily stretching his limbs.

Since getting up, he had been busy sowing seeds and tending to the seedlings, which occupied his entire morning;

By noon, Hestia burst in without knocking, spilling the beans about Athena's identity, forcing him to confront the Goddess of Wisdom ahead of schedule and try his best to appease his powerful elder sister;

Then, before the battle of wits from the dining table to the chess board had even ended, a calamitous tidal wave suddenly struck from the sea;

Consequently, Luo En had to follow the reckless Little Medusa and Hestia out the door, assuming the responsibility of disaster prevention and relief, cleaning up their mess;

Finally, just as things were getting back on track, Athena turned up the pressure, suggesting "I have high hopes for you," intent on dragging him onto the sinking ship of the Minosians...

After much back-and-forth, the two sides reluctantly reached a consensus and laid the foundation for their cooperation.

And by the time he saw off his sister, who looked like she wanted to punch him, and after dealing with Little Medusa's troubles at the camp, dawn was almost breaking.

In the midst of such intense physical and mental exertion, even Luo En, who had become a demigod, could not help but feel a bit of fatigue.

The weary mind lying on the bed felt little desire to move.

But in the end, through sheer willpower, he forced himself to get up and with a lift of his hand, drew several Hermes Script symbols in the air before him.

Instantly, four objects of different shapes emerged from the shimmering patterns of the magic array and caught Luo En's eye.

After months of toiling, only four useful items—this thing's drop rate is really low.

Luo En tossed the twelve-sided die in his hand, in irritation he stored it back within his body, and began to seriously tally the chips he had accumulated by secretly grinding Daily Chapters and Weekly Chapters during the months he had been settling in at Hestia's place.

Following the left-to-right order, he first picked up seven sharp, gleaming white fangs, examining them carefully.

[Python's Fang]: After reaching adulthood, God of Light Apollo went personally to the Delphi region to vent his mother's anger. He shot and killed the giant serpent Python, which had been ordered by Hera to persecute his mother, the nurturing goddess Leto, to prevent him and his sister Artemis from being born. After the battle, he took its teeth as trophies.

In the Age of Greek Gods, the bloodlines of dragons and snakes were often interwoven in complex ways, as seen with the famous Hundred-Headed Dragon Ladon and Hydra, who were of the same parents.

And in some Western records, snakes are seen as the progenitors of dragons, with the terms used interchangeably.

For example, Satan, known as the [Old Serpent], also has legends of transforming into the [Red Dragon] to do battle with the archangel Michael.

Therefore, the serpent-like creatures of the divine age often have attributes of [dragons] to varying degrees.

After some experimentation, Luo En confirmed that these items could also serve as mediums for summoning dragon-tooth warriors.

Furthermore, because they came from the great serpent Python, the dragon-tooth warriors summoned with them were all peak Gold-level.

If it weren't for the fact that summoned creatures are constrained by the summoner's magic power strength, summoning skill level, and their own physical condition, Luo En speculated that the dragon-tooth warriors summoned with these [Python's Fang] could even reach Demigod status.

Even so, having seven peak Gold-level, astonishingly tough, and fearlessly fierce dragon-tooth warriors appear on the battlefield could definitely change the tide of a small-scale conflict.

When necessary, they could indeed be used as a surprise force.

Luo En thought to himself and nodded, tossing the seven engraved summoning charms of [Python's Fang] into the Magic Array for storage.

He then shifted his gaze to the second and third chips.

One was an ancient bronze longsword and the other was a bronze armor riddled with stabbings and hackings.

The blade of the sword emitted a cold chill on either side, and the armor still bore dried reddish-black bloodstains—evidences that they were remnants from a battlefield.

——In a devastating city-state war, the War God Ares, delighted by the hunt, descended to join the fray. He personally slew the most valiant hero with divine blood on the battlefield and stripped off his armor, taking his longsword as a trophy.

Although the two items were not on par with those crafted by the god of craftsmen and cyclops, they were still of Demigod quality and suited Luo En perfectly at the moment.

As usual, Luo En put on the armor inside the house, weighed the handle of the sword, and familiarized himself with the balance and feel of the weapons and armor to prevent haste in arming himself when battle loomed.

After some basic training, he turned his attention to the last chip.

It was a pair of bronze bracelets with owl patterns that contained the divinity of Athena that he had mentioned many times. They not only allowed the wearer to remain calm and immune to certain forms of mental interference but also had the effect of enabling quick entry into meditation and amplifying magic power.

In fact, in addition to being the Goddess of Wisdom and War, Athena was also regarded by some as the Goddess of Magic.

Luo En glanced at the pair of bronze bracelets, put them on directly, and then pulled down his sleeves to carefully conceal them.

A refreshing coolness spread through Luo En's body from the bracelets, easing both physical and mental fatigue, prompting him to let out a pleasurable moan.

Although there were four useful items drawn from the silver pool,

without a doubt, Luo En's favorite was this pair of bracelets with their superior support effects.

It must be said that as long as Athena, his elder sister, did not ambush him in the bronze pool, when she did issue gold coins, they were often of premium quality.

So, after this battle is over, what else do you have waiting for me, Athena?

With a subtle sense of anticipation, Luo En lay in bed, accompanied by the floating patterns of light from the bronze bracelets, and slipped into both meditation and a restful sleep.
