Chapter 65: Chapter 61: Surely there must be a deep meaning behind what Lady Athena has done, right?

The atmosphere in the great hall, which had just eased, became oppressive once again, and the mood of the father and daughter was inevitably heavy.

"Well, there's no time to lose. To avoid further complications, I must set out immediately and return to Olympus!"

After imparting a portion of her strategic plans, the goddess who presided over wisdom and victory displayed her resolute and decisive nature. She rose to her feet and with a deep voice, gave her instructions to King Minos and her own high priestess.

"After my departure, the matters of Crete Island are in your hands. Should you encounter any trouble that you cannot resolve..."

Athena paused briefly, standing before the palace steps, her gaze stretching toward a certain part of Knossos City under the veil of night, her purple eyes flickering with a mysterious light.

"You can go to the third street, to the house numbered seven. There might be someone there who can help you..."

"Are you referring to the Divine Envoy?"

Priestess Ariadne, upon hearing this, remembered the report from several priestesses before departure and the bronze serpent emblem impression they brought, her eyes lighting up with realisation.

Athena smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying, a playful curve forming on her lips.

"When you go, bring two portions of desserts for me, remember, they should be offerings."

"Ah?"

Upon this strange request, the high priestess was taken aback. However, before she could voice her confusion, Athena had already spread her metallic wings and, transforming into a beam of light, disappeared from the great hall.

Desserts? Offerings?

Stunned, Princess Ariadne and King Minos exchanged glances, then solemnly nodded, engraving the goddess's last instruction deep into their hearts.

Indeed, the Lady Goddess must have had a profound reason for this!

Meanwhile, on the third street, at the house of Hestia.

Luo En lay sprawled on his soft bed in the shape of a "big" character, lazily stretching his limbs.

Since getting up, he had been busy sowing seeds and tending to the seedlings, which occupied his entire morning;

If it weren't for the fact that summoned creatures are constrained by the summoner's magic power strength, summoning skill level, and their own physical condition, Luo En speculated that the dragon-tooth warriors summoned with these [Python's Fang] could even reach Demigod status.

Even so, having seven peak Gold-level, astonishingly tough, and fearlessly fierce dragon-tooth warriors appear on the battlefield could definitely change the tide of a small-scale conflict.

When necessary, they could indeed be used as a surprise force.

Luo En thought to himself and nodded, tossing the seven engraved summoning charms of [Python's Fang] into the Magic Array for storage.

He then shifted his gaze to the second and third chips.

One was an ancient bronze longsword and the other was a bronze armor riddled with stabbings and hackings.

The blade of the sword emitted a cold chill on either side, and the armor still bore dried reddish-black bloodstains—evidences that they were remnants from a battlefield.

——In a devastating city-state war, the War God Ares, delighted by the hunt, descended to join the fray. He personally slew the most valiant hero with divine blood on the battlefield and stripped off his armor, taking his longsword as a trophy.

Although the two items were not on par with those crafted by the god of craftsmen and cyclops, they were still of Demigod quality and suited Luo En perfectly at the moment.

As usual, Luo En put on the armor inside the house, weighed the handle of the sword, and familiarized himself with the balance and feel of the weapons and armor to prevent haste in arming himself when battle loomed.

After some basic training, he turned his attention to the last chip.

It was a pair of bronze bracelets with owl patterns that contained the divinity of Athena that he had mentioned many times. They not only allowed the wearer to remain calm and immune to certain forms of mental interference but also had the effect of enabling quick entry into meditation and amplifying magic power.

In fact, in addition to being the Goddess of Wisdom and War, Athena was also regarded by some as the Goddess of Magic.

Luo En glanced at the pair of bronze bracelets, put them on directly, and then pulled down his sleeves to carefully conceal them.

A refreshing coolness spread through Luo En's body from the bracelets, easing both physical and mental fatigue, prompting him to let out a pleasurable moan.

Although there were four useful items drawn from the silver pool,

without a doubt, Luo En's favorite was this pair of bracelets with their superior support effects.

It must be said that as long as Athena, his elder sister, did not ambush him in the bronze pool, when she did issue gold coins, they were often of premium quality.

So, after this battle is over, what else do you have waiting for me, Athena?

With a subtle sense of anticipation, Luo En lay in bed, accompanied by the floating patterns of light from the bronze bracelets, and slipped into both meditation and a restful sleep.
