After Athena's small popular science lecture, Russell understood who Hecate was and why Athena asked him to ask Artemis because the two goddesses were cousins.
Hecate's mother, Asteria, was a sister to Artemis and Apollo's mother, Leto. When Apollo was born, Leto was made things difficult by Hera and could not find a place to live. Fortunately, Aster Only with Rhea's help can Apollo be born safely.
But the blood relationship on the sacred mountain is very weak. The sisters Asteria and Leto have a deep love. The relationship between Artemis, Apollo and Hecate is very ordinary, and they have little contact.
According to Athena, Hecate is also an unmarried goddess. Although she is not high in seniority, she is extremely powerful.
She has a strong record and is the famous irresistible God of Death, an invincible or unrivaled queen. Her power of theocracy is also extremely complicated, with the night, ghosts, hell, magic, and witchcraft all involved.
Unlike Hermes, the great parallel import, Hecate's divine powers are complex and diverse, but they are all extremely aggressive and aggressive.
As a Titan, she chose to support Zeus during the Ten Years' War of the Titans and helped Zeus defeat the Cyclops, thus gaining powerful help and determining the final direction of the war.
Therefore, although this goddess was beautiful, Zeus never dared to take advantage of her. He was in awe of her and treated her specially when they sat in rows to distribute the spoils after the war.
It can be said that in the male-dominated Olympus, Hecate has her own transcendent status.
But in terms of priesthood, Hecate is the goddess of the underworld, representing the dark side of the world, and her symbol is the moon of the underworld.
Therefore, according to his position, Hades is Hecate's immediate boss.
After finishing speaking, Athena glanced at Russell with a hint of teasing: "If I told you that Hecate is very interested in you, would you believe it?"
"Believe it! Why don't you believe it?"
Russell nodded calmly, a handsome man is so confident.
"..."
Athena pouted, blaming her for not bringing up this topic.
Before, when Russell first went up the mountain, the gods had whispered about who Russell's mother was. Hecate, 'Night Goddess' Nyx, and 'Mother of the Earth' Gaia were all on the list.
However, these three goddesses were too capable of fighting, and they were all untouchable. The gods did not dare to say anything, nor did they dare to ask.
Closer to home, Hades and Hecate rushed to the sacred mountain together because demons also appeared in the underworld.
When Hades first met the demon clan, he didn't understand why, and was trapped by the formation, and then was injured by the magic weapon. Hecate appeared to help him overcome the difficulty.
The injury was not serious, but the monster clan's strange and changeable methods did make Hades feel frightened.
After the two of them cleared away the monsters in the underworld and stabilized the territory, they came to the sacred mountain to meet Zeus. By coincidence, they happened to be at the meeting point.
The three brothers Tianhai and Ming gathered together in the Golden Hall of the Holy Mountain to recall the last time that happened who knows how many years ago. The gods simply stopped talking and let the three brothers discuss strategies and how to face this crisis.
The meeting ended in less than a moment, and the three brothers Tianhai and Ming left, accompanied by Queen Hera and Hecate.
Obviously, these people have the final decision-making power and are the leaders of the Olympus God System. The rest, including Russell, are only at the level of thugs.
The movements of the demon clan were unknown, and the gods did not dare to wander around after the meeting. They stayed in the sacred mountain and laid foundations to rebuild the damaged palace.
There is a war, and life must be lived.
…
Temple of the Sun.
Unlike the Moon Temple next door, the Sun Temple does not have a main god, so there are no powerful monsters to play in the temple. Only a few side halls were damaged by the aftermath of the battle, and they can continue to be inhabited with a little repair.
Russell Cat was in a side hall, boiling pot after pot in a big pot, taking the trouble to cook the meat and eat it.
There were mountains of monsters outside the Golden Hall. Russell took the initiative to undertake the work of washing the floor, and worked hard to clean up the debris, while also deducting a batch of high-quality ingredients.
Originally, he just planned to finish eating casually, but he never thought...
“It smells so good!”
[Host: Russell]
[Power: 152 (80+72)]
[Body: 156 (108+48)]
[Wisdom: 203 (162+41)]
【Wealth: 180800】
【……】
It tastes delicious and can make you stronger. As a person who is easily satisfied, Russell felt extremely happy.
"It would be even better if there was a girl next to me!"
Just as he was talking, the girl came.
Bang!
Artemis kicked open the door and smelled the fragrant smell of meat, and tears of grievance flowed from the corners of her mouth involuntarily.
"Russell, you are eating...you actually have the intention to eat here?"
Artemis was furious, snatched the fork from Russell's hand, and said angrily: "You knew clearly that the Temple of the Moon was destroyed, but you didn't invite me over, and you secretly hid and ate alone. You..."
After a long kiss, Artemis immediately fell into Russell's arms. While gnashing her teeth and glaring at the scumbag, she hated herself for not living up to expectations.
"I know that the Moon Temple was destroyed, and it was the monsters who did it..."
"No, it's you!"
"It does not matter."
Russell nodded calmly, lowered his head and pecked Artemis on the lips, and continued: "I thought you would go to the Temple of Light with Apollo. Why, that boy is the Flower Protector today?"
"Hmph, when I saw Hestia, Apollo's soul flew away. How can he still remember my sister, who I have depended on since childhood?"
When Apollo was mentioned, Artemis became furious.
Back then, Apollo and Poseidon were pursuing Hestia at the same time, and the two were very unhappy. Hestia was not bothered by it, and asked Zeus for the sinecure as the guardian of the stove and family, and moved out of the sacred mountain to be out of sight.
What you can’t get is always in commotion!
Apollo couldn't forget Hestia. When he saw his beloved aunt today, he immediately forgot all about his sister. After the meeting, he chased after Hestia to show his courtesy.
"Bah, scumbag, scumbag brother!"
Russell shared the same hatred and said: "You have to say that you have the duty to protect your sister. It's just that you can't walk when you see a beautiful woman. Don't count on him in the future, count on me!"
"Hmph, you are not a good person either. When I saw Hestia in the Golden Palace, my eyes went straight."
The more Artemis thought about it, the angrier she became. She regretted letting Russell get what he wanted so easily. Now there are no flowers in front of her or under the moon, no sweet words. When she meets a beautiful goddess, maybe Russell will let go and be gone.
"You misunderstood me."
Russell took Artemis's little hand and kissed it, and snorted coldly: "I was deliberately angry with Apollo. In my heart, I actually respect Hestia very much and have no idea at all."
"you swear!"
"Okay, I swear, if I have any thoughts about Hestia, I will be struck by thunder!"
"Athena must also swear."
"No problem, if I treat Athena..."
"And Hecate!"
"Hey, what does this have to do with Hecate?"
Russell was speechless, Artemis was so jealous, and he really had no idea about Hecate.
"Shut up and swear."
"Okay, okay, I swear, as long as you are happy."
After making a series of vows, Artemis smiled like crescent moons with her eyes, leaning on Russell's shoulder with joy.
After falling in love, she thought of the current situation on the sacred mountain and couldn't help but sigh: "Everything is fine, but a powerful enemy from another world suddenly appeared. I don't know how many gods will fall after this battle."
"Don't worry, I will protect you even if I risk my life."
Russell used the scumbag's level A attack - his mouth was smeared with honey.
The effect was very average. Artemis was still worried and whispered: "Well, I don't care what happens to other people, as long as you, me...and Apollo are fine."
"Don't think too much, everything will be fine. The three Zeus brothers were able to overthrow their father back then, and they will definitely be able to defeat the invading demon clan this time..."
Russell comforted him, mentioned the demon clan, and sorted out a bunch of memories by the way, and passed them to Artemis telepathically.
The language and writing of the demon clan, as well as the records of his battles with Chongming, Ji Meng, and Fenghuang, prevent Artemis from encountering the demon clan again and being at a loss and falling into the formation.
"These monsters are very powerful. Mount Olympus is really capable... You promise me, the next time we start a war, you won't rush to the front. Zeus only treats you as a thug and doesn't... wu wu wu..."
Russell blocked Artemis's mouth, stood up, picked her up, and walked into the next bedroom.
——————(≖◡≖)✧Indescribable————
After taking care of the worried Artemis, Russell let her stay in the Temple of the Sun and went to the sanctuary before dark.
He summoned Pope Chiron and Ai'e to warn them about the general details of the sacred mountain. The invasion of the demon clan was of great importance. The sacred area was closed recently and no one was allowed to go out privately for any reason.
By the way, he dropped a bunch of miscellaneous ingredients and taught Ai'e the prescription to strengthen his physique, asking him to assist Qilong in training the saint warriors as quickly as possible.
In addition to eating and training, they don't expect them to be able to perform on the battlefield in the future. They just need to protect themselves from death in critical moments.
When returning to the Holy Mountain, night fell, and Russell sneaked into... the palace of the Goddess of Wisdom.
There is no other meaning. The monsters invade and Russell's strategy needs to be revised. The current intelligence analysis is very vague and he needs Athena's help.
It's still the study room. There seems to be no other place in the palace of the goddess of wisdom. Athena lives here three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
"You came!"
"I am coming."
Russell looked embarrassed, suddenly feeling that the style of dialogue was wrong and too serious.
"As expected of you, you knew I would come..."
He casually pulled a silver cup, drank the wine in one gulp, smacked his lips and said, "It's quite sweet. The hospitality is much better than before. There was no wine reception last time I came here."
"..."
Athena's eyes twitched and she wanted to stop her, but Russell's hand was too fast. Before she could say anything, Russell drank all the wine in the silver cup.
"What, you were poisoned?"
"No, that's not your drink."
"Who else could it be if not me?"
Russell wondered, who did Athena leave the door open for in the middle of the night?
"Sun God, I have drunk that glass of wine."
From the side door of the study, Hecate walked out slowly and looked at Russell with a very playful expression.
"Well……"
Russell looked at the silver cup in his hand, then at Hecate's red lips, and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry...can I have a refill?"
