A fight shows a guilty conscience, and if nothing happens, it will become a situation where Russell leads the way.
Athena frowned for a moment, suddenly woke up, crushed Russell's annoyed face in her mind, and put away the victory spear in a cold voice: "The Sun God has good tricks, as expected, Artemis was deceived by you in this way. of."
"Here we go again. They say just call her by name, but this goddess will fall out faster than she can flip through a book."
Russell whispered, trying his best to let Athena hear clearly, and said bluntly: "Yes, I did use some tricks on Artemis' side."
Athena said nothing, wanting to hear what tricks Russell used to trick Artemis into embracing her.
On the side, Pamukkate held her breath and concentrated, silently labeling Russell a scumbag. She was as curious as her master Athena, and she pricked up her ears to eavesdrop to prevent herself from encountering unkind people in the future.
"It's simple. I told Artemis that I refused Aphrodite's advances for her sake."
"That's it, what else?"
Athena asked, and she and Aphrodite arrived at the Vulcan Hall and the Sanctuary, knowing that what Russell said was true, and that he indeed rejected Aphrodite's love.
Regarding this point, Athena made an objective evaluation and admitted that Russell was much better than the gods with chaotic private lives on the mountain, which was one of the few advantages.
But this does not mean that Russell is not close to women. It can only prove that he is extremely sophisticated and knows how to suppress his own desires. Faced with the temptation of Aphrodite, he gave priority to interests.
Using oneself to judge others, Athena believed that Artemis had the same idea as hers. At most, she could look up to Russell and distinguish him from the other hungry ghosts. However, it was far from enough to say that she fell in love with him. .
"Smart, there is indeed a section behind."
Russell gave a thumbs up and continued: "Artemis was very happy after hearing this, and her vanity was satisfied. I took advantage of the victory and told her that I rejected your voluntary confession for her sake."
stretch! ! !
The strings were broken again, and Pamukata looked at Russell in astonishment, her little mouth opened as cute as she could be.
"It's none of your business, just keep playing."
Russell complained unhappily.
Why is it that everyone has a look of disbelief, Zeus is like this, Artemis is like this, and now even a little girl playing the piano has a ghostly look on her face.
What's wrong with Athena confessing to him? If such a thing happened, he might not agree!
If you don’t believe it, try Athena!
Pamukkate was scolded by Russell and was so frightened that she covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice. She hurriedly repaired the harp and played the music again after a while.
My mind was restless, and the music was far less interesting than before.
In comparison, Athena had perfected her Qi-nurturing skills. When she heard that Russell used her name to pursue Artemis, and even shamelessly flattered herself, saying that she took the initiative to confess, she always looked cold and showed no trace of emotion. Fireworks rage.
After a long silence, Athena finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Damn it, Artemis actually believed it. Is she crazy, or does she think I'm crazy!"
"It has nothing to do with IQ, it's purely vanity."
Russell waved his hand and continued to hit the iceberg: "Besides, I said it so seriously, why didn't she believe it?"
"..."
There was another period of silence, Athena still didn't believe it. Even if Artemis occasionally had impulsiveness and girlish temper, she shouldn't be deceived into losing her rationality by Russell.
"Okay, that's it for now. I have already announced my allies, Artemis and Apollo, and there will be one or two more in the future."
Russell looked at Athena: "Now it's your turn. Tell me, you have been operating on the Holy Mountain for many years. What allies do you have secretly?"
"No."
"If you say that, the topic will be dead."
After Russell finished speaking, seeing that Athena was unmoved, he swung his robe and turned to leave: "I'm leaving, don't stop me... I'm really leaving and I won't come back!"
Ten seconds later, Russell took Pamukkate's hand and let her tightly hold her sleeve, shouting: "What are you doing? I told you not to stop me. It's not easy for anyone to do it. Why don't you do it?" Don’t let go quickly.”
Athena: "..."
She had seen many shameless gods on the sacred mountain, such as Zeus, Zeus, and Zeus, but this was the first time she had seen Russell do this.
"Okay, for your sake, I'll stay a little longer."
Russell let go of his hand angrily and returned to Athena. Behind him was a red-faced Pamukkate, whose music was chaotic and without any rhythm at all.
"For Pamukkata's sake, I'll give you another chance to tell you who your allies are."
"You can deceive Artemis into an ally and add an Apollo, why don't you try to guess who my allies are?" Athena said slowly.
"Riddles...I like it."
Russell touched his chin and said while thinking: "Among the twelve main gods, it is impossible for Zeus, Hera and Poseidon. Hermes is a die-hard loyalist of Zeus. It is also impossible. Ares is at odds with you. , and now I have been removed from the list again..."
"Artemis and Aphrodite are unhappy with you, plus Apollo, these three are useless..."
"In the end, there were only three gods left, the 'Fire God' Hephaestus, the 'Family Guardian Goddess' Hestia, and the 'Agriculture and Harvest Goddess' Demeter..."
Speaking of this, Russell glanced at Athena and saw that her face was as usual and her eyes were as still as water. He could not see any clues and could only continue: "Hephaestus regards you as the goddess in his dreams and obeys your words, but With Aphrodite here, he is the most unreliable one, and with your IQ, you will definitely not get him to join the gang."
"Demeter and Hestia, these two goddesses go deep into the world and never ask anything about the things on the mountain, but..."
Russell glanced at Athena again: "Excluding all impossible factors, the remaining results, no matter how incredible, are the truth."
"'Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and harvest, is the fourth wife of Zeus. Why don't you exclude her?" Athena asked.
"My ex-wife!"
Athena: "..."
It made sense, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it.
"The daughter of Demeter and Zeus is Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. She may be more attracted to Hades than Zeus who doesn't recognize people when he lifts his pants..."
Russell took a breath: "It's amazing, it turns out you have hooked up with Hades."
"..."
Athena said nothing and pulled out her victory spear.
"Don't get excited, I'm just talking casually."
Russell waved his hands repeatedly and said something mean: "Athena, maybe you didn't realize it, but you do care about me. Ever since I came in, you haven't been as calm as usual."
That's because you can't speak human language!
Athena felt very bad. As soon as she closed her eyes, Russell's mean and mocking face was in front of her, the kind that deserved a beating.
"'Family Guardian Goddess' Hestia, this goddess is notoriously low-key. Although she is the eldest sister of Zeus and the chief goddess of all the goddesses on Mount Olympus, she avoids the world and even moved out of the sacred mountain to live outside..."
Russell was very puzzled: "Why would she become your ally, just because you two are both unmarried goddesses?"
"The Sun God is so smart, he must be able to figure out the reason."
"What do I want to do with this? I just need to know that she is your ally!"
Russell was too lazy to think about it and continued: "My Sun-Moon Alliance, plus your Goddess Alliance, has just gathered six main gods, and the odds of winning are very high. Moreover, Poseidon and Zeus are at odds, and so is Hades. Even if you are eyeing it, you can win over it.”
Russell feels that this one should be stable, and the world mission Ragnarok is just around the corner.
"Sun God, I haven't agreed to form an alliance with you yet..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I understand what you mean, isn't it about how power is distributed?"
Russell waved his hand: "From now on, I will be the King of Gods and you will be the Queen!"
(一`′一)
Athena didn't say anything and just looked at Russell. The latter blushed and said shyly: "Actually, you can be the king of gods and I can be the queen. I don't care about names."
The corner of Athena's mouth twitched. It was obvious that a guy who didn't even care about his face could care about the name.
"Sun God, in my vision, there will be no God King in the future, only the Council of Gods."
"Whatever, you can arrange this kind of thing."
"Sun God, do you really not care about the position of the God King?"
After several trials, Russell's perfunctory behavior made Athena deeply uneasy and felt that he had other agendas.
"We'll talk about the future later. I'm more concerned about the current situation..."
Russell looked at the full moon outside the window: "Let's stop talking now. It's getting late. If we don't leave, Artemis will knock on the door. If word spreads, it won't look good to everyone."
"Wait a minute!"
Athena stopped Russell: "As far as I know, the twelve Golden Saints have not yet been summoned, and there are still a few vacancies."
"What, you want to plant a spy?"
"It's not a spy, but a necessary exchange of alliances. When the God's Domain is established, you can also arrange your own spies there." Athena explained.
"That's so boring. Just give me yourself. I'm not interested in the divine realm..."
Russell looked at Pamukkate who was playing the piano: "If it's her, I'd be very satisfied. The Temple of the Sun has always been short of a little girl to warm the bed."
Athena automatically ignored Russell's naughty words. Looking at Ai'e, she knew that this guy could only talk the talk and always maintained basic respect for women...probably!
"I want Pamukkata to be a Golden Saint, not your valet."
"No problem, she has good talent, and the Golden Saint Cloth is not wronged by her."
Russell reported the remaining five golden holy clothes, namely Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Aquarius, allowing Athena to make a choice.
"Ophiuchus's Golden Cloth!"
"No, this one is special. No one will wear it now, nor will it ever be worn in the future." Russell refused directly, leaving no room for maneuver.
"Which one of these five golden holy garments is the best?"
"There is no distinction between good and bad. The five golden holy clothes are of equal value. I have to say the best thing..."
Russell paused and said slowly: "Sagittarius is the best!"
"Why?"
"Has wings."
"..."
