Chapter 1147 It's too late, you're already in love with me
Perhaps because of personality or authority, the architectural styles of the palaces of the gods are different.
The sun god is dignified and majestic, the hunting goddess is dangerous and quiet, and the palace of the goddess of wisdom is relatively elegant.
Moderate and uncontroversial, intellectual and elegant.
Placed on the sacred mountain, this kind of palace is inconspicuous. At first glance, it feels ordinary and has no special features.
But if you look at it for a long time, you will find that it is pleasing to the eye and very attractive. The character of other gods' palaces is too flamboyant and a bit cliché.
Of course, this is in Russell's eyes. If it were Aphrodite and Artemis, they would view Athena's palace the same way as she herself, and they would only have one evaluation.
Bitch is just hypocritical!
This evaluation applies to all the goddesses of Mount Olympus. In their hearts, other goddesses except themselves are pretentious little bitches.
"Bitch!"
In the far corner, Artemis saw Russell walking into Athena's palace without any obstruction, and she bit her silver teeth and cursed loudly.
She snorted coldly, turned around and returned to the Palace of the Goddess of Hunting. Ten seconds later, she returned the same way and found a secluded corner to hide herself.
I had no other intention, I just wanted to see when Russell was kicked out, and then come up and laugh at him.
…
On the other side, Russell was led by two nymph goddesses to a huge palace similar to a study.
On both sides, four rows and twelve columns of large bookshelves are neatly arranged, with all kinds of books on maritime navigation, medicine, agriculture, painting, music, strategic warfare, history, etc.
In the center, there is a golden harp about two meters high. A girl in a white gauze dress taps her fingers lightly and plucks the strings like an elf, and the melodious and beautiful music infiltrates the soul and makes people mesmerized.
The girl is not Athena. She looks about sixteen or seventeen years old. She has blond hair that hangs down her shoulders when she plays the piano. Her eyes are slightly light green, as clear and bright as the light of a lake.
She is full of the innocence and youthful charm of a girl, without losing her steady and dignified temperament. She is well trained, and her whole person is in the shape of Athena.
Maybe it was because Russell had been looking at it for too long, and the girl couldn't adapt to the gaze of his naked uncle. Her gentle fingers seemed slightly panicked, and the melodious tune became more urgent.
"Not bad, you play it very well."
After successfully defeating the girl who was pretending to be mature, the shameless Russell turned around and found Athena silently reading next to the bookshelf.
"Sun God, what's the matter with your late night visit?"
"The goddess invited me, I dare not not come. Also, there is really no need to be so polite between us, just call me by my name."
Russell stepped forward and took a look at the medical book in Athena's hand. He found that the book was delicate and porcelain white. Unfortunately, the cover was tightly wrapped, and not even the tip of the iceberg could be seen.
Snap!
Athena closed the medical book, blocking the sight of the unscrupulous person, and said expressionlessly: "I did invite you once, but not today, and you were rejected."
"There is nothing we can do about this!"
Russell touched his chin and seemed to explain: "Hephaestus can teach me forging. Because of him, I forged the Sun God's armor and thirteen golden armors. However, the three goddesses plotted against me. How to choose?"
It’s not difficult.”
"..."
Even though Athena was extremely well-educated, she couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this shameless remark.
"Athena, let's not tell secrets. We are all smart people, so we won't use such hypocritical temptations. Tell us, is inviting me here to discuss an alliance?"
Russell directly raised the topic, not wanting to harp with Athena.
"The last invitation was because you used the derivative ability of thunder when you fought with Ares. I am very curious about how you did it."
Crackling!
An arc of lightning flashed across Russell's fingertips, and the silver cup on the desk in the distance floated up and fell directly into his hand.
He drank it all in one gulp and smacked his tongue: "Thunder and lightning's derivative abilities are complex and changeable. If you have to give a correct answer, I can only say that knowledge is power."
Athena looked strange. The silver cup was her personal belongings, so she decided to throw it away after Russell left.
"Russell, can you teach me the relevant knowledge?"
I think you want to eat shit!
Russell didn't even think about it and refused directly: "This knowledge is too valuable. Goddess, you can't afford the corresponding reward. For the sake of friendship, let's change the topic."
"If we form an alliance, can you impart knowledge to me?"
"..."
Russell didn't speak, thinking deeply about the benefits and losses. With Athena's clever mind, he would definitely be able to learn it as long as he taught her. The strength of her allies was equal to her own strength.
But... Athena has learned how to do it, how can he still show off?
"No, allies are just allies. This kind of relationship is not safe."
After speaking, Russell looked at Athena with burning eyes, the implication of his words was very obvious.
"In that case, I won't force it." Athena said decisively, cutting off Russell's wishful thinking.
"Think again. You don't have to get married. The relationship between Ares and Aphrodite was very reasonable before. We can learn from it."
"Sun God, if there is nothing else, I won't send it away."
"You obviously invited me to come to your door. You didn't talk about business for a long time, and you insisted on me speaking first..."
Russell curled his lips, he had a lot, so he didn't care.
Athena wanted to take the initiative, but Russell said there was no problem and he could give it to her, but whether she could hold on to it or not depended on Athena's ability.
"After learning the information you gave me, I went up the mountain overnight..."
Russell stopped mid-sentence, pointed to the girl who was playing the piano, raised his eyebrows and said: "Athena, there are some words that she can't hear. Are you sure you want her to stay here?"
"It doesn't matter, Pamukkate is the person I trust most."
"I understand, dead people can't talk."
Russell looked at Pamukkate with great pity: "What a wonderful girl. It would be a pity to have her bones reduced to ashes. Why don't you give her to me and take her back to the sanctuary to make a vase to keep."
"..."x2
The Palace of the Goddess of Wisdom seriously lacked the energy to complain. Russell's invincible sand sculpture-style dialogue repeatedly hit the wall under Athena's iceberg defense, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
"When passing by the Temple of the Moon, I met Zeus. He had just finished making love with Selene, and his legs were shaking when he walked."
Russell was dissatisfied and drove the icebreaker and hit an iceberg.
As a result, Athena's expression remained normal, not surprised at all by the news, as if she was used to it.
"By the way, if you walk at night on the sacred mountain in the future and encounter a face like mine and doing some obscene things, don't be surprised. That person is not me, but Zeus."
Russell continued to drive the icebreaker, using all his strength, he hit the iceberg hard: "Poseidon's deterrence has declined, and Zeus looks down on him, so he asked me to take the blame..."
"Tell the important point!"
"Okay, let's get to the point."
Russell straightened his face and said solemnly: "I gave the Sun God suit to Artemis. In a few days, she will become the new Moon Goddess."
"how so?"
Under Russell's persistent impact, the tip of the iceberg shattered, and Athens finally showed some surprise.
Athena expected Russell's icing on the cake, but she didn't expect that Artemis would actually take over the Sun God suit.
It has nothing to do with favors, but Artemis doesn't have to do this.
The old and new generations of gods are vying for divine power. The old generation of gods is at the end of its rope. Now it is struggling to its death and cannot survive for long.
Athena firmly believed that with the support of Zeus, Artemis would definitely gain the authority of the Moon God, so there was no need to accept Russell's Sun God suit.
The reason is very simple. If Artemis takes out the Sun God's suit in a one-on-one duel, after winning, the older generation of gods will definitely take the opportunity to attack, thinking that the duel is unfair and accusing Zeus of being too ugly.
Artemis has no reason to accept this unnecessary thing, unless...
Athena frowned and looked at Russell: "Aren't you afraid that Artemis will take the Sun God's suit and then hand it over to Apollo?"
"Don't be afraid!"
Russell's lips curled up and he showed off his bargaining chip: "Just now, I have established a relationship with Artemis that is stronger than an alliance. Isn't it too much to borrow battle suits between lovers?"
Boom!!!
The strings are broken.
Pamukkata, who had been playing the piano, turned her head in surprise and looked at Russell in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief, and...
If Artemis is not crazy, she must be blind.
"Are you kidding?"
Athena did not accuse Pamukkata of eavesdropping, but frowned at Russell: "If you are referring to Aphrodite, I can believe it, but Artemis, it is impossible for her to have true feelings for you."
"That's the truth, there's nothing to brag about."
Russell lowered his head: "I just said goodbye to Artemis and told her before I left that I would come to you. She was worried that you would seduce me, so she followed you secretly."
"..."
Athena said nothing and looked at Russell like a monster, because she sensed carefully and indeed detected the aura of Artemis within the temple of the Goddess of Wisdom.
"How about it, Artemis and Apollo, do you still have any doubts about the strength of your future allies?"
Russell raised his eyebrows slightly. Negotiation is that simple. As long as you are well prepared, you can regain the initiative at any time.
"How did you do it?"
Artemis fell in love with Russell, and Athena was frightened when she thought about it. She couldn't figure out what kind of spell Russell had cast on her, which made Artemis so confused.
"You will know later!" Russell said meaningfully.
"!"
Athena reacted instantly, took two steps back silently, and regarded Russell as a ferocious beast.
"It's too late, I can make Artemis fall in love with me, and naturally I can make you fall in love with me too!"
A deep smile appeared on Russell's lips, which made Athena's hair stand on end: "It's too late to be on guard now. Before you know it, I've already broken through your absolute defense... Well, I'm really looking forward to the fight between you and Artemis.
"
Athena said nothing, and took out the victory spear with a dark face, as if she wanted to cut Russell into pieces.
"Just kidding, if you're serious you'll lose... Or is it that the goddess of wisdom has lost confidence in herself?"
Russell's smile suddenly disappeared and he said sincerely: "If so, I am deeply honored!"
