Chapter 478 Intoxication in Tenderness
On Mount Olympia, there was a very disgraceful deed. The god of war, Ares, once fought with the two sons of the sea god Poseidon. He could not defeat him, surrendered, and was captured alive.
He was tied up in chains, threw him into a bronze cauldron, and locked up for thirteen months.
During these thirteen months, the two sons of the Sea God, two hideous and strong giants, did a lot of excessive things to Ares.
Until later, Hermes received the news and tried his best to steal Him from the copper pot.
If Hermes hadn't rescued Ares might have been tortured to death by two giants. In that case, there would be more than one god Pan to fall.
Logically speaking, Ares should be very grateful to Hermes, but the God of War doesn't think so.
He will never forget the humiliation in the copper pot, nor will he forget the ridicule he was received on Mount Olympia.
Especially the latter, even if He forgot it, it is useless. To this day, there are still gods who mock Him on Mount Olympia.
Ares, who was so angry that he blamed everything on Hermes. So far, no one understood the truth, and even Zeus could not understand Ares' strange logic.
In that era, gods could bring all their magic powers to and from the world. Ares took His wife and children, and brought all the warriors under His command. He used his wife's bloodthirsty habits and followed the smell of blood to kill all the believers of Hermes, leaving nothing behind.
Hermes, who received the news, did not ask Ares to argue, nor did he ask Zeus to appeal. He knew Ares' position in Zeus's heart.
He made only one request to compete with Ares in the arena.
Everyone thought Hermes was crazy, everyone was mocking Hermes' stupidity, everyone thought Hermes was just a trick, and He could not be the opponent of Ares in the arena, let alone He had lost the power of faith.
But Zeus didn't think so, he knew Hermes' strength.
Not liking to use force to solve problems does not mean that Hermes is low in force and does not easily show anger, it does not mean that Hermes is so kind.
Zeus rejected Hermes' request, and as compensation, He handed over the order of the arena to Hermes.
Ares believed that this was Zeus' sympathy for the weak, and he did not realize that Zeus had saved His life.
When the giant attacked Mount Olympia, Hermes killed the powerful giant Hippolytus alone. Ares did not have this ability. He only killed a few minions. Although Hermes used an invisible hat in the battle, no one would know what methods Hermes would use in the arena. If Ares really in the arena, the chance of survival was slim.
"With the power of faith, Hermes did not go to the world to sow blood, perhaps because he cherished his own blood, or was tired of the struggle for power. Until recently, He has cultivated five believers in total, and you are one of them, one has died of old age because he was too late to enter the rank, and the other has fallen into loss because of his rush to advance."
Manda asked excitedly, "Where are the other two?"
Pan Shenyi grinned: "You killed me."
Manda was stunned and then patted her forehead.
Sharwan, a giant merchant in the Canglang Kingdom, was killed by Manda in Qixing Mountain.
An unknown young man, Hermes's divine follower, was killed by Manda in the capital of the king, and Manda was punished for this.
After a little embarrassed, Pan Shen reminded him: "Never mention this to Hermes. The power of Father's faith has returned. Although it is not His blood, he believes in Him devoutly. This is your credit. Be careful of Ares and continue to fulfill your mission."
Pan disappeared, and Manda sat silently in the room for a long time.
Ares once killed all Hermes' believers, but Hermes was powerless at that time.
Hermes now has the power to protect himself, but what if Zeus wakes up?
If you take over the order of Mount Olympia, you can't return it to Zeus. This is the only way out. With Hermes' wisdom, you will definitely realize this.
Some wars have to be completed by Hermes, and some wars have to be completed by themselves.
Manda returned to Crispy Rock Mountain, and more and more believers came to join him. Even Bruto, who had always been calm, became a little annoyed in his heavy work.
"That lady, I'm calling you, have you heard it? Take your necklace off, you can't hear it, guard! Bring her over! And you, and..."
The irritable Bruto suddenly eased, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face covered in cloudy clouds.
He is a believer of Aphrodite, a beautiful girl.
She lowered her head and looked at Bruto secretly. Her rich beauty had proved her identity.
"Are you a fourth-order believer of Aphrodite?"
The girl nodded shyly.
Bruto pointed to the old witch and said, "Go there to drink a bowl of medicinal soup."
The girl lifted her skirt, bowed her salute, turned around and left, and Bruto's eyes remained on her for a long time.
Not only Bruto, all wizards are unwilling to leave their sight. Being able to meet a believer of the beautiful god is the best comfort in a tired day.
After drinking the soup, there was no rash on her body, which proved that she was not lying. The girl came to the second level, and after answering a few simple questions, she knelt in front of the statue of Hermes and prayed with other believers.
Manda was watching coldly. He didn't think this girl was so beautiful. He just felt that the first two levels were too perfunctory, and the soldiers significantly lowered the inspection standards.
It is not enough to blame anyone for this matter. Under such high-intensity labor, no one can always maintain a high concentration of energy.
Manda wanted to see if this believer of the beauty god would always be treated preferentially, but saw Karean walking to her side, pressing her hands on her chest, and bowing.
Manda quickly returned the favor and said, "Sir, I have heard that you are here for a long time and I have always wanted to have a drink for you. I still remember the kindness I had in Yanshi Town."
Carren quickly shook his head and said, "Don't say that, old things, what's the point of asking? Now you are willing to take me in. This is the true kindness."
After talking politely to each other, Manda asked, "Have you not got on the carriage heading to Qixing Mountain yet?"
Karean is a third-level believer of the goddess of luck, Tikka, who is a supporter of Hermes, and his believers can take the express train to the Seven Star Mountain.
But Cocarean chose to stay in Crispy Rock Mountain for the time being.
"The goddess of luck gave me an oracle and said that I can bring you good luck here. I asked the three adults, Quinta, Holna and Bruto, and with their consent, I can stay here for the time being."
Manda smiled and said, "I have received the favor of the goddess, and it seems that good luck is about to come to me."
A trace of gloom appeared on Karean's face: "It's shameful to say that the war was lost and the territory was lost. I have nothing to do until today. If I hadn't received the oracle, I would have thought the goddess had forgotten me."
Manda said: "The haze will eventually drift, bad luck will eventually leave, and the goddess of luck will not forget His devout believers."
The two were chatting, and the believers of the God of Beauty had completed their prayers and were walking towards the bathroom. Guatel was saliva and staring at her back.
Karean whispered to Manda: "There is something I don't know if I should say, your subordinates seem to be a little too tolerant of Aphrodite's believers."
Manda nodded and said, "I have seen it all. I can't bear to blame them when I'm tired."
Karean said again: "I actually have another purpose for staying here. I want to wait for a friend. I hope he can change his mind."
Manda understood what he meant: "I heard about General Longerson. What kind of blow could make the iron-killed hero completely desperate?"
"It was a tragic battle, in which we made a terrible mistake."
Karean told the story of the battle before and after, and Manda said in surprise: "Longerson camped in the valley?"
Karean nodded and said, "Yes."
"He misread the class of Ares believers and chose to fight alone with him?"
"Yes."
Manda couldn't believe that Longerson would make such a low-level mistake.
Karean said: "I didn't believe it at first, but later I realized one thing: the fifth-level skill of the Aphrodite believer is called intoxication in tenderness. This skill will make people relax and make unimaginable mistakes."
While speaking, the girl was dressed and ready to complete the last check.
Og was digging his nostrils, and took a quick look and let her leave.
"Stop!" Manda shouted, and the woman stopped quickly.
Manda said to Og, "Didn't the Great Prophet give you a hint?"
Og shook his head muffled.
Chapter completed!
