Artemis narrowed her eyes slightly, her words sounded a bit wrong, and Russell's current words and deeds gave her a strong sense of déjà vu.
So much like Zeus!
Zeus had this kind of expression when he was talking seriously to other goddesses.
The vigilance in Artemis's eyes flashed away, Russell felt it keenly and secretly regretted it in his heart.
He didn't mean this originally. He never thought that his mouth was faster than his brain, so he subconsciously said the lines left for Aphrodite.
Fortunately, the problem is not serious and there is still room for recovery.
"Just kidding, let's get down to business."
Russell coughed lightly and pointed to the career line in Artemis' palm: "Look, your career line..."
"Wait a minute, you just said this is the wisdom line."
"You remembered it wrong."
Russell frowned slightly and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Divination is a very serious and brain-burning matter. It requires a lot of calculation formulas. Don't interrupt, as it will disrupt my train of thought."
After saying this, he stared at the line on Artemis's palm, which may be a career line, and carefully observed it, clicking his tongue from time to time, or frowning in thought.
"Sun God, do you see anything?"
"I have some ideas, I'll figure it out... Also, just call me Russell."
Russell pinched his fingers with one hand, rolled his eyes, and counted one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. After a moment, he frowned and touched the back of Artemis's hand three times.
"A small career line has ever-changing shapes, and your fortune is hidden in it. And your intermittent career line..."
Russell paused for a moment, waiting for Artemis to ask, "Master, what's the explanation?" But the latter was completely clueless. He could only talk to himself: "Not only are your career lines intermittent, but there are also several branch lines broken.
It also stops at the line of wisdom.”
"Hey, isn't this a lifeline?"
"I told you that you remembered it wrong, don't interrupt."
Russell was slightly angry and continued to calculate: "Your career line is performing very poorly and is very unstable. Because of your impatience and lack of patience, you often change careers and do not specialize in any one."
Artemis said nothing and nodded secretly. Russell's words seemed to make sense. If her career was compared to a god's throne, she indeed had a lot of authority.
In addition to the goddess of hunting, her authority also includes nature, archery and archery, fertility and pregnancy, disease and death, recovery, delivery and newborns, the moon, purification, etc.
The reason there are so many is because Artemis is Zeus's favorite daughter. Under normal circumstances, Zeus never refuses anything she wants.
"Artemis, the reason for this is mainly due to yourself. You see, this line of wisdom has just cut off your career. If you look into the reason, it is nothing more than thinking too much and wanting more."
Russell coughed lightly: "To be honest, you don't want to hear it. Your vision is too high, which leads to the incompetence of multi-tasking. Therefore, it is difficult for you to achieve high achievements in your career."
"that's all?"
Artemis was not very satisfied. She was a very ambitious woman, and Russell's prediction was seriously inconsistent with her expectations.
"There is no need to be depressed. Although your career line is full of twists and turns, you are a god. This extremely long lifeline shows that every time you encounter difficulties, there will be noble people to help you."
Russell held Artemis's hand, caressed her palm for a moment, and said with envy: "You are very lucky. Every time you encounter setbacks, noble people appear. This kind of good luck is not available to everyone."
"Is this true?"
Artemis gradually became interested and couldn't wait to speak: "If I am in trouble now, who will help me?"
"It's hard to say. After all, you are a goddess, and it would be too much for a mortal to apply to you."
Russell pondered for a moment and gave an ambiguous reply: "I can only say that the noble person has appeared. If you pay more attention, you will definitely find some traces. To put it bluntly, your destiny is still in your own hands."
"Then what should I do if I find a noble person?"
"To be on the safe side, you'd better take it with you to help increase your luck. If things go on like this, your wishes will come true, and it will definitely have a multiplier effect on your career." Russell gave a pertinent reply.
"Been taught a lesson."
"No, it's just a side story. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself as a person. Just listen to these, don't take it too seriously."
Russell waved his hand modestly, took Artemis's hand again, sat side by side with her in the pavilion, and turned his palm to the moonlight: "I didn't notice it just now, but your wisdom line seems to have some tricks. I'll take a closer look."
"Okay, take your time and watch."
…
In the distance, the side door of the Palace of Love opened, and a sneaky figure slipped out.
He had an extraordinary handsome appearance, tall and burly, and his eyes were as clear and lively as stars. However, his clothes were a little messy, as if he had just escaped from being chased by hundreds of men.
Apollo!
After sneaking some distance away, Apollo hid behind a tree, straightened his robe, made sure there was no one around, and then walked out quickly.
Yes, he happened to pass by this place while taking a walk at night.
In fact, he could stay in the Palace of Love for a while longer, but he was worried about Artemis's safety, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Aphrodite.
After all, he was Russell, a ruthless man who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Zeus in terms of shamelessness.
If Artemis fell into the trap and accidentally suffered a big loss, wouldn't he have to feel guilty for the rest of his life?
Apollo walked quickly towards the pavilion. The two had originally planned to cheat and steal the Sun Chariot with fear and threats. If Russell did not follow this trick, Artemis would send a signal, and then the siblings would join forces to force him to submit.
Counting the time, Artemis should have seen Russell, but after so long, there was no movement at all...
The more Apollo thought about it, the more anxious he became. He rushed to the pavilion quickly, and when he saw the sun chariot displayed alone, his face immediately became happy.
Done!
Artemis successfully deceived the Sun Chariot from Russell!
The next second, his face turned black, and he saw a man and a woman leaning side by side in the pavilion. The man held the woman's hand and secretly expressed his feelings, and the woman chuckled from time to time.
Under the cold moon, the two of them were covered in hazy light, and their figures reflected in the pool water formed one body. You and I were envious of others.
If not Russell and Artemis, who else could it be.
"Asshole, let her go!"
After getting the Sun Chariot, his sister was taken advantage of by a lecher. Apollo was furious and kicked Russell on the vest.
"careful."
Artemis was about to stand up when her waist was grabbed by Russell's hand. The latter pointed his toes to the ground, turned his body to avoid it, and then followed the trend with a kick, kicking Apollo into the water in mid-air.
"Are you okay?"
Russell hugged his slim waist and stood up with a look of concern on his face.
"..."
The play was too violent. Artemis slapped the pig's trotters away from her waist and looked at Apollo floating out of the pool: "Nonsense, why did you suddenly attack Russell?"
Of course I am saving you!
Otherwise?
Apollo dried the moisture on his clothes and wondered what kind of ecstasy drug Russell had given Artemis. After a short while, she seemed to have changed into a different person.
You know, Artemis is famous for looking down on men. Let alone touching hands, she will be very disgusted if he says more than two words.
"Artemis, I hastily ended my date with Aphrodite and rushed here quickly. Are you... okay?"
Apollo ignored Russell and asked tremblingly, fearing that he would get a bad answer.
Russell: (一`′一)
There is a mountain higher than a mountain. It was the first time he heard someone say that it was not possible so confidently.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Russell had originally intended to entrust you with the control of the Sun Chariot. As soon as I opened my mouth, he readily agreed and didn't thank me immediately."
Are you sure you agreed happily and not only after touching your hand?
Apollo's eyes twitched, his plan for tonight was seriously wrong, and his sister had suffered too much for him.
He glared at Russell fiercely, stepped forward and grabbed Artemis's hand: "Let's go, I don't want the Sun Chariot anymore, let's go home."
"Apollo, you are so rude."
Artemis shook her head, put away the sun chariot, agreed to talk to Russell another day, apologized for Apollo's rude behavior, and then left the pavilion with him.
After watching the two people leave, Russell touched his chin, looked at the Palace of Love in the distance, shook his head slightly and left.
Although it is a pity, it is better not to encounter this kind of woman, at least until you learn the superior skills of holding figurines, you should avoid suspicion.
Halfway through, Russell suddenly felt that something was wrong. Yes, between a beautiful woman like a flower and a lame man, he actually chose the latter.
"It's okay. I've learned how to take care of things. I don't have a wife..."
…
The next day, in the Sun Temple Garden.
Russell was suspended in the air cross-legged, with a square pool below him. As he thought, the water surged up and suddenly rolled.
A round of red sun formed a shadow behind Russell, its brilliance was dazzling and the streets were crisscrossed.
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, shot out two divine lights, and the water in the pool below boiled completely.
"nailed it!"
Russell exhaled a breath of turbid air, his face looked happy, he put his feet on the edge of the pool, stared at the water with red light, smiled and took off his clothes, and then... started to soak in the hot spring.
"Ah~~so cool!!"
Ai'e:(?_?)
Two days later, it was the decisive battle between Russell and Ares. She was worried, so she pruned the flowers and plants while watching Russell master the authority of the sun god.
Never thought...
"Russell, is this how you practice?"
Ai'e hated him for walking out of the bushes without fighting. Ares was the twelve main gods and had Hera's backing. Russell's heartlessness had to have a limit, even if it was just pretending.
Russell:(????w????)
Ai'e: (?Benefit?)
"You are such a person. You trust me so much that you actually peeked at me taking a shower."
Russell shyly pulled a bath towel, held it in front of his face, and invited: "The water temperature is just right, do you want to come together?"
"..."
Ai'e didn't say anything and went away angry.
After he left, Russell wrung out the bath towel, folded it into an oversized square and put it on his forehead. He soaked in the water for a long time and refused to get up.
Outside the Temple of the Sun, two crows watched all this silently, until it got dark before flapping their wings and leaving.
