Chapter 199: Leniency for Confession, Life in Jail

"Ah~!"

The next day, in the mansion of the Goddess of the Hearth, a suppressed scream pierced the morning mist.

The humanoid object lying on the bed jumped up as if it had been electrocuted, and wailed.

"... Gently... Gently, that's meat, not dough..."

"Okay, bear with it, it will be over soon."

Hestia, who was sitting on the bed, quickly retracted some of the strength in her hands, applied the medicine more carefully, and at the same time, looking at the bruises all over her own subordinate god, she couldn't help complaining.

"Athena is really, bullying the weak with the big, and she hits so hard!"

"That's right!"

As the victim, Lorne also complained indignantly.

However, due to his overly intense reaction, he accidentally pulled the wound again, and the needle-like stabbing pain suddenly came, causing the muscles on his face to twitch and reveal a painful expression with his teeth bared.

The result of last night's battle was obvious. He got up and was killed in seconds. There was basically nothing to say.

After all, if he met Hermes, who was at the bottom of the list, or Ares, who was a brainless and reckless man, he might be able to deal with them.

But Athena's strength is obvious to all. She is at the forefront among the main gods, and she is also a Valkyrie who specializes in fighting and victory.

Even if Loen himself has made great progress, he will only be beaten to the ground when he meets Athena, who is extremely powerful.

What's more, that woman has set up a full-fire mode, obviously planning to beat him up for a long time.

Thinking of the tragic experience of being caught and beaten last night, Loen, who was lying on the bed, was depressed and couldn't help turning his head to complain to Hestia beside him.

"You are so stupid, why did you give her the holy fire?"

"No, isn't it on you?"

Hestia blinked innocently and explained patiently.

"Before, she said she would use the holy fire of heaven to make a set of holy clothes for you to protect yourself, so I injected the part I was guarding into it."

"What about you? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"It doesn't matter. This is the cluster that Prometheus stole from heaven. Because it has been contaminated with too much human faith power, it has formed an independent branch and can no longer be reabsorbed by the original fire. That's why Zeus agreed to let me go down to the world to manage the fire in the world and worship the gods."

"So that's what happened. I thought you had directly overturned the altar in heaven."

After listening to Hestia's narration of the cause and effect, Loen breathed a sigh of relief.

Now is not the time to turn against Zeus. If you really smash the stall of Olympus, it will be a bit of a big show and easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Fortunately, this was Prometheus's fault before.

Even if the Holy Fire had some minor changes during the inheritance process, with Prometheus making trouble on the Caucasus Mountains, Zeus would not suspect them for a while, let alone think that his good daughter Athena had rebelled to such an extent.

But to be honest, the growing rebelliousness of the goddess of wisdom was more or less inseparable from the instigation of the culprit, Loen.

"By the way, where is the Holy Fire? How is it? Has the fusion been completed?"

At this time, Hestia beside the bed could not help but interrupt Loen's thoughts and asked curiously.

Loen nodded, then raised his hand slightly, and silently recited the words of God in his heart.

——The powerful fire of light is the most powerful of all the origins, I would like to offer it with poetry and wine!

In an instant, a ball of burning and jumping golden flames appeared in his palm, like a bright lamp to dispel the cold, illuminate the darkness, warm people's hearts, sweep away negative emotions, and endless courage burst out from the body.

Looking at the dancing flame in Lorne's hand, Hestia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.

"Well, it seems to be successful. I will feel more at ease if you have it by your side in the future."

Sensing Hestia's heartfelt care, Lorne couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

The sixth incarnation - [Flame], this is the embodiment of Hestia's divinity.

Its function is to clear all negative states and strengthen its own divinity.

At the same time, this is also the fire of faith that connects human civilization. When the user has the same ideas as believers and the people, they can achieve resonance through strong appeal, and then gather the people's spiritual power and vitality into powerful magic.

The purer the faith of the people around, the stronger the emotions, the stronger the magic that can be provided.

In theory, this is the incarnation with the highest upper and lower limits, and it has many possibilities.

Even if it is fully developed and utilized, it may surpass Athena.

Feeling that it seemed to be aching from bones to muscles again, Lorne clenched his fists while baring his teeth.

"When there's a chance, I'll make her feel the pain of being beaten!"

"No problem, I'll hold your hands and feet for you then!"

Hestia next to him also echoed with confidence, as if she was backing up her own god to vent her anger.

"Are you there? I'm coming in..."

A faint groan came from outside the door. The familiar voice made the master and servant in the bedroom shudder and squeeze out a bright smile at the figure who came in.

Athena looked at the two people with a slightly distorted expression and asked casually.

"What are you talking about? So happy?"

"The weather is so good today!"

"It's very suitable for sunbathing!"

Hestia and Lorne were shocked and answered without thinking.

Then, they looked up at the sun that had not yet come out outside the window, and looked away at the same time, feeling guilty.

In order to avoid further embarrassment, Lorne laughed dryly and took the initiative to change the subject.

"By the way, why are you here?"

"Come to see you, and bring you a few letters..."

Athena smiled slightly and waved outside.

Suddenly, several snow-white owls flew into the room, landed on Athena's shoulders, and combed their feathers slowly.

Seeing the well-behaved and docile appearance of those little guys, Lorne's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a bad premonition.

"Coo~~"

Sure enough, accompanied by cheerful calls, several white owls used their mouths to untie the letter tubes tied to their claws and delivered them to Athena's hands.

According to the skillful movements, it was obviously not the first time they did this.

Traitor!

Seeing this, Lorne cursed in his heart, and then looked at the goddess of wisdom in front of the bed with resentment.

At this point, he didn't understand that these owl messengers wandering in the yard were all traitors sent by Athena to follow.

At this time, the goddess of wisdom turned the letter tubes in her hands, her eyes swept over the familiar marks on them, and she smiled.

"The nine muses, hunting goddess Artemis, memory goddess Mnemosyne, sea goddess Thetis... you have good relationships, so many people care about you?"

"That's all for Lady Hestia's sake..."

Lorne explained with a dry laugh, cold sweat on the back of his neck.

"No! I don't know most of them well!"

Hestia shook her head, snorted coldly, then looked at the patient lying on the bed, clenching her teeth.

"So, shouldn't you explain what's going on with them?"

"Just tell me, it's just a normal relationship, auntie won't blame you, it's no big deal..."

Athena on the side was also giving gentle advice, seeming very reasonable.

Looking at the two goddesses one after the other, Lorne swallowed his saliva, immediately stiffened his neck, and complained in grief and anger.

"Isn't this all for you?"

"Me?"

Athena was stunned when she heard the question.

While Athena was stunned, Lorne counted on his fingers with a resentful look.

"The nine muses and the goddess of memory Mnemosyne are important aids in compiling books and codes. They must be won over. It is related to the future construction of Athens. Artemis was introduced by you. She is not only familiar with me. We got together because of the Crete incident. Not to mention the incident with Thetis. It was you who insisted that I plunder her hair. There is no hatred or resentment. We must repair the relationship and make amends, right?"

Listening to Lorne's explanation, Hestia nodded frequently.

It seems to be true.

Unconsciously, this guy has secretly done so much for Athena.

Obviously, I am his main god...

When the goddess of the stove thought of this, her hearth suddenly felt sour, and she looked at her niece with a little vigilance.
