Chapter 179: Drag the Good Goddess Into the Water (8k a Day to Complete)

Seeing his savior with a painful expression of regret, Lorne hurriedly comforted him.

"Don't worry, I did it very cleanly. With Ares's brain, he will never find me!"

"So, he ran to the Sea of ​​Oceanus to trouble us?"

Thetis looked at the opposite side faintly, her silver teeth grinding for a while, and her blue eyes were full of grief and anger.

"This, accident..."

Lorne laughed dryly and wanted to quibble, but under the murderous gaze of the sea goddess, he finally moved his head away with a guilty conscience.

Well, he did it on purpose.

Going to the seaside for a decisive battle, the protection and healing given to him by the power of the sea, the incarnation of the [Giant Whale] of the sea divinity, and the breath of the [Spear of Nation-making] disappearing in the sea...

With so many factors added together, even Athena, who is known for her wisdom, would be confused and suspect the sea gods first, not to mention the stubborn Ares.

What's more, the Olympian pantheon represented by Zeus has just started to attack the Sea of ​​Oceanus.

Both the motive and the reason were terrifying enough.

By the way, the [Dice of Chance] on his body, plus the divine protection of literature and memory given to him by the nine muses, simply maxed out the BUFF of doing good deeds without leaving a name.

Even if Ares projected his consciousness onto the King of Thracian, the strong [chance] and [divine memory] on the scene would affect his perception and memory, and induce him to make wrong judgments.

Look, everything is just as he had rehearsed.

The only thing he missed was that he was rescued by the sea goddess Thetis.

This woman was a nymph known for her wisdom, and she was caught in the shameless act of framing the sea gods.

It's difficult...

Lorne raised his head and stroked his chin, looking at Thetis in front of him.

The goddess of the sea was shocked when she noticed two eyes on her. She subconsciously took a few steps back, wanting to use her innate transformation skills to jump into the sea and escape.

However, before she took a few steps, a hand pressed her shoulder and pulled her weak body back to the fire.

"Don't be nervous. You are my benefactor. How can I repay you with evil? Besides, if I really want to attack you, is it necessary to wait for you to wake up?"

That's true...

Thetis thought for a while, let down her guard a little, and asked coldly.

"Then what do you want?"

"It's not what I want, it's what you want."

Lorne smiled, stretched out two fingers, and showed an open and honest attitude.

"Now you have two choices: First, run out and tell on me and hand me over. Of course, I won't admit it, and I will destroy all evidence against me."

Without thinking, Thetis directly abandoned this answer.

It was easy to sell out the guy next to him, but this was equivalent to directly offending Hestia, who had a very good relationship with people, and the goddesses who had a close relationship with him.

For example, Athena and Artemis...

The current state of the Oceanus Sea could not withstand Ares making trouble.

What's more, it was the other three main gods?

"Second, pretend that you know nothing and keep the secret to yourself. In return, I will leave early tomorrow morning and attract Ares' attention once, but Oceanus' affairs will have nothing to do with me afterwards."

Thetis pursed her lips, turned her head and looked at the scarlet sea in the distance, and immediately understood what Loen meant.

It was related to her own safety, and it was impossible for this little bastard to admit it openly and take the blame on his own initiative.

His biggest concession was to lead Ares away once and add a few more suspects.

But this is only a temporary solution. When the target of pursuit disappears, the blame will still fall on the heads of the sea gods.

At that time, who knows what kind of revenge the reckless man who was fooled again will take?

The Oceanus Sea is no longer in charge of Poseidon, and the intentional suppression of the God King can't stand the tossing.

What's more, her sister and father are still in the front.

So, this is not a good way out.

After a moment of silence, Thetis slowly spoke.

"What about the third way? You should have another plan that you haven't mentioned."

Look, communicating with smart people is very comfortable.

At this time, Loen showed a happy smile on his face, and raised his hand to applaud the sharpness of the sea goddess.

"The third way is that everyone works together to solve the troubles of the Oceanus Sea."

The troubles of the Oceanus Sea? It's not you who framed it!

Looking at the shameless face of the initiator in front of her, Thetis was a little angry.

But in the end, her usual rationality made her calm down quickly and question the feasibility of this plan.

"I am not Ares's opponent, and as for you... I don't think you can do it either?"

"There is no need to fight to the death, just a little sacrifice is enough."

Lorne shook his head and smiled, his eyes immediately fell on the sea goddess.

Thetis' heart trembled, subconsciously stood up from her seat, and covered her chest tightly.

"Look, you are nervous again."

Lorne's eyes were filled with anger, and he raised his hand to pull the wary ocean goddess back to the negotiation table, while smiling to reassure her.

"Don't worry, it's not you, nor is it a marine god, it's another one."

"Really?" Thetis was doubtful.

"You are my benefactor! Will I harm you? If you don't believe it, I'm leaving."

Lorne straightened his face and pretended to leave the island.

Seeing that the bastard was about to run away after taking the blame, Thetis immediately pulled back the culprit who claimed to have a remedy, her pretty face turned slightly dark.

"explain!"

However, Lorne did not speak in a hurry, but asked meaningfully.

"Do you know the fastest way to cover up a lie that's getting out of hand?"

Thetis thought for a moment and then slowly said: "A bigger lie?"

Lorne smiled and did not answer. Instead, he looked at the scarlet sea and spoke meaningfully.

"I heard that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, had a beloved lover in Cyprus named Adonis, but he had always been at odds with the god of war..."

"!"

In an instant, Thetis's face froze, and she realized the true plan of the man in front of her, and she lost her voice in shock.

"Are you crazy?"

"I didn't do anything."

Lorne spread his hands, looking innocent.

"I watched our Lord Ares descend to the realm several times and tried to compare notes with Adonis, but I couldn't find the shadow of His Highness the Prince. I was kind enough to help him."

“…”

Looking at this kind-hearted man in front of her, Thetis was speechless.

She knew what this guy was up to without thinking.

He was clearly planning to use Adonis’s matter to stir up a dispute between the two main gods, Ares and Aphrodite.

In this way, the god of war would naturally have no time to wander around the Sea of ​​Oceanus or continue to cause trouble for the gods of the sea.

When Poseidon returns after serving his sentence in a few years, even if Ares remembers the old things, he may not have the opportunity to make trouble like now.

However, this requires a prerequisite.

It’s okay to cover up lies with lies, or to calm things down with disputes.

What happened on Cyprus must be bigger than on the sea!

In other words…

Thetis looked at the smiling young god under the firelight, her heart chilled, and she bit her cherry lips tightly.

"Let me think about it..."

"It's okay. Ares doesn't dare to make too much trouble for the time being. You can think about it slowly."

Lorne smiled indifferently and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

"Or, on the bright side, he might be a reasonable god."

As Thetis returned to her bedroom with a complicated look and closed the door, Lorne picked up a few dead branches from different trees around him and threw them into the fire. He watched them burn in the flames with interest and turned into indistinguishable ashes.

When recruiting accomplices, the ancient Chinese green forest heroes often asked the innocent defectors to give a letter of surrender in order to add a layer of insurance.

-That is, to do a bad thing together.

In this way, they can hold each other's handles and feel at ease.

Similarly, this is actually what Loen himself is doing.

Since Thetis has seen through some of his little secrets, for the sake of safety, of course, he took the opportunity to pull her onto his pirate ship.

And the lovely Prince Adonis is their token of allegiance.

Of course, even if she doesn't agree, Loen will not repay kindness with hatred and kill the sea goddess who just helped him.

When necessary, at most he can use [Memory Divinity] to mess up or tamper with some of her memories.

But in comparison, he still hopes that the sea goddess who is smart enough can stand on his side.

In front of the fire that crackled from time to time, a black-bellied man who was planning to drag the good goddess into the water carefully recalled the previous exchanges between the two sides, raised his hand and stroked his chin, and a hint of thoughtful playfulness appeared between his eyebrows.

Didn't refuse directly?

So, she probably knew where Aphrodite secretly hid Adonis?

It was really a pleasant surprise.

"Die! Die! All of you, die!"

The figure surrounded by blood on the sea continued to vent his anger at innocent creatures. Large patches of scarlet quickly spread on the sea, and the incomplete corpses of sea beasts floated up one by one.

On the island, the real culprit and the harbouring criminal involved in it fell into their own thoughts during the long night.

~~

The next morning, Thetis walked out of the palace with a tired face. The bloodshot in her eyes and the depressed mental state clearly proved that the goddess of the sea had been tormented by troubles all night.

Lorne, who was sitting in front of the embers, did not rush to ask, but pointed to the freshly heated oatmeal and asked attentively.

"Would you like some breakfast?"

Thetis opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she seemed to hear some high-frequency sound. Her face changed and she immediately turned her head and rushed to the coast.

Something happened?

Lorne was stunned, put down the soup bowl casually, and immediately got up and followed.

As the two passed through the dense forest and came to the shallows near the sea, several snow-white dolphins with bruises all over their bodies gathered in the blood-red bay.

And around them, the bodies of their own kind and seahorses, whales, octopuses and other marine creatures were washed ashore in large numbers.

Seeing the arrival of Thetis, the remaining marine creatures seemed to see the mother who sheltered them, and they cried out in pain, accusing the cruelty of a murderer.

But as their vitality faded, their reactions gradually weakened.

Seeing this, Thetis hurriedly summoned clear sea water to moisturize and heal their wounds, and then took these innocent victims back to the sea to settle down.

However, compared with the large area of ​​sea that was almost covered with scarlet, the efforts of this sea goddess seemed to be a drop in the bucket.

What's worse is that the bloody storm that had been raging on the sea for a night had no intention of stopping. Instead, it followed the escape route of the marine creatures and rolled straight towards the island where Thetis was.

A reasonable god? I'm afraid that if I hand over the person, it may not end well, right?

Thetis looked at the bloody light on the sea and the large number of marine creatures on the sea that suffered because of anger, and recalled someone's comfort last night, and felt extremely ironic.

I have retreated again and again, but you are still pressing me step by step.

In this case, I can only seek justice in my own way.

Seeing that the bloody light that connected the sky and the earth was less than a hundred miles away, the goddess of the sea immediately made up her mind and turned to look at Lorne behind her.

"In the Bay of Polislin, near the Rock of the Goddess of Love!"

Hearing the answer from the other side, Lorne smiled happily and extended his hand to Thetis formally and friendly.

"Happy cooperation..."
