Chapter 136 Artemis is not a stingy goddess

"Strange, why can't I catch up?"

Ten minutes later, Suren had a strange look on his face as he stared at a deer eating fruit not far away. With a speed that could outrun a meteor, he couldn't even catch a deer. If other people knew about it, his reputation as the Greek emperor would be gone!

It seems that the only way is to use a faster and more powerful method!
Surlun summoned the Golden Supreme Sky, but he did not do it to draw his bow, but to hurry.

This Golden Supreme Sky is also a super-high-speed vehicle. It can fly at the speed of light in a short period of time. It is impossible not to catch it!
The next moment, Surlun, who was standing on the golden supreme sky, turned into a stream of light and flew towards the deer. But just when he was about to touch the deer's body, the deer disappeared directly, as if jumping through space, and appeared not far away.

Suerlun was now certain that if this deer was not a god, I would eat all the Golden Supreme Heaven!

"Who could it be?" Surren fell into deep thought: "It can't be Lady Artemis, isn't she working...in the Styx?"

Speaking of Artemis who was covered in ashes in the River Styx, Suren had seen her several times when he went to the underworld. Every time he went to see Artemis, the goddess would stuff everything in her hand into Suren's hands.

Artemis made Suren feel very embarrassed. The main thing was that every time he got something, he would just pat his butt and leave. The sense of déjà vu was too strong.

But if I went to the underworld and deliberately didn't go to see her, Lady Artemis would cry, right?
As his thoughts passed, Suerlun gave up the idea of ​​catching the deer. He followed the deer slowly. He knew that the deer had deliberately lured him here, so he was basically certain that something was wrong.

Then take it easy.
-
At the same time, in a cave with hot springs in the forest where none of the gods could find her, Athena stood in front of Artemis, holding a weapon that looked more like a scepter than a spear.

"Artemis, are you going to the underworld on your own, or do I ask you to go?"

Athena looked at Artemis who was trying to play tricks with a half-smile, and sneered in her heart, humph, with just this little trick, you still think you can fool her, the goddess of wisdom Athena?
Artemis gritted her teeth: "Athena, don't go too far!"

"Artemis, I am the chief designer!"

Athena was about to exile the Moon Goddess, but her expression changed and she frowned and looked towards Surlun.

Suren was right. The little deer was indeed a god transformed from a deer, a creation of Artemis that could carry her mind and power.

The original plan was to lead Suren to this secret cave to soak in the hot springs together to bond with each other, but it turned out that not even the gods had discovered it. Only the treasure land that the mistress of the wilderness had hidden away with her power could not be hidden from the goddess of wisdom Athena.

But now, Athena's relentless pressure seemed to have directly activated some strange rebound mechanism, causing Artemis to behave extremely irrationally.

"Suerlun! My Suerlun! You finally came to see me, woooo..."

Deep in the dense forest, before Surlun walked far, he was fouled by a white-haired animal with the ball.

"...Ouch, what are you doing?" Suerlun was caught off guard and almost flew out. Fortunately, he was a sports student and was fine after calming down.

After steadying himself, Suren finally looked up at the attacker.

"Lady Artemis?!"

Suren was shocked. I said that the impact was somehow so strong that even a hero like him, whose physique was recognized by Zeus's thunder, almost fell down. It turned out to be the weight of a goddess!

At this time, Artemis was still clinging to Surlun. She hugged Surlun's waist and cried, "Wow, Surlun, I'm so tired. I was bullied by a bad woman. My body is so heavy, and my breasts are so big. I'm so tired..."

Artemis spoke in a mess, and I'm afraid even she herself didn't understand what she meant.

But Surren understood.

Surren stroked Artemis's smooth white hair and said gently, "Thank you for your hard work, Master Artemis. I will take care of you from now on!"

For a long time, Artemis had been giving unilaterally to Suren. She seemed to have never thought about what she wanted, or rather, Suren did not dare to think deeply about what she wanted.

Suerlun, who had never had such close contact with the opposite sex, had the first impression of Artemis that she was soft...

The goddess in his arms was very soft, like a large pillow, but within this seemingly fragile body was a power comparable to a natural disaster.

This is the divine body of Artemis. Even without a trace of divine power and authority, its physical fitness alone is far superior to that of a heroic spirit.

After all, any spiritual base and rank were inferior to Artemis. Even a crown spiritual base was inferior to a real god.

“Lord Artemis, what are you doing…” Suren was a little confused. How could Artemis, one of the twelve main gods, the goddess of the moon and hunting, be bullied like this?

How dare you! Who dares to do this!
"I don't want to go to the Styx to fight the gray force. I want to play with you in Greece."

Artemis held Surlun for a long while, absorbing enough of Surlun's energy, and then she said hesitantly, "Actually, I also want to say something to you..."

Although Artemis was banished to the River Styx by Athena to be burned to ashes, she was not an unconnected god in Olympus. For example, her brother Apollo was a well-informed main god.

Even though she was a little naive, she could still receive all the news, big or small, from Greece.

In particular, Artemis specifically told Apollo to keep an eye on Suren for her and tell her if there was anything important.

After witnessing Suren's determination to fight against the thunder, the originally stubborn Apollo changed his opinion, from being a Suren hater to a Suren die-hard fan, and readily agreed to Artemis' request.

In Apollo's view, his silly sister Artemis was no longer bound by the oath, so he naturally had to help his family fulfill their wish.

Athena, Hestia, none of them are as good as my Yue Family Army!
Artemis stocks, come on!

But after the rush, Apollo calmed down. Suren had never regarded Artemis as a lover. If he wanted to change this attitude, it depended on what Artemis did.

Fortunately, Artemis raised Suren in the appearance of the red doe Cynthia, and there was no time for the two to develop a family relationship, otherwise there would have been no hope at all.

Even though Surren knew that Cynthia was Artemis, he couldn't treat the goddess as that little deer for a while.

In addition, after Hestia's heroic act of dividing the fire even at the risk of execution, Apollo felt an even greater sense of crisis.

No one knows what Zeus is thinking, and even if he really wants to execute Hestia for this reason, there is nothing wrong with that.

As the goddess who holds the sacred fire of Olympus, Hestia could not possibly not understand this.

And after considering all of this completely, Hestia still resolutely gave the holy fire to Suren at the cost of her own life.

It was at this time that the gods discovered that Hestia, who had been silent, was secretly in love with Suren and even had the possibility of overtaking her.

If Artemis doesn't find a way to overtake others in this kind of friendship, then she can only get drunk and make a scene when attending Hestia and Suren's wedding in the future, biting her handkerchief and saying that she was the one who came first...

Finally, maybe after the birth of Surren and Hestia's son, when his son asked him about it, Surren would answer: "Who? Artemis? Just an ordinary friend!"

Just thinking about that ending is scary!
As Artemis's younger brother, I would be in trouble by then.

No matter for the sake of his own divine life in the second half of his life or for the love of his naive sister, Apollo desperately hoped that Artemis could make a breakthrough move to counter Hestia's overtaking behavior.

For this reason, Apollo deliberately and carelessly told Artemis his guess through a clumsy prophecy.

Next, it depends on what Artemis does.

Artemis, go!
"What's the important thing? By the way, are you hungry? Let's go eat first!" Suren pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth. It's not that he didn't understand what Artemis meant, he was just pretending to be stupid.

However, Suren really did not have that kind of feeling for Artemis, and it was not something that could be forced.

However, women can refuse, but goddesses are not so easy to deal with. After all, the goddesses of Olympus, except Hestia, are all petty-minded!
Humph! You offended the goddess and you still want to run away?

When the time comes, I will directly curse you with God!
Artemis, in particular, was the most petty of petty-minded. In the mythology, she did nothing else but punish the ungodly king or curse that little bitch with the Moon Goddess card.

Ha, if this offends Artemis, she won’t turn me into a wild boar too, right?

"Oh, right..." Artemis interrupted before Surren finished speaking, "I allow you to not call me by my flagship's name when you are alone with me in the future. Just call me Diana, Surren!"

Artemis thoughtfully gave the future god's name: "Moon Girl, what do you think of this name?"

"Hmm...it sounds nice."

Suerlun agreed readily, but was stunned by the next sentence.

Artemis narrowed her eyes and said, "Sullen, what do you think of naming our child this?"

In a hot spring, a bright-eyed girl narrowed her beautiful eyes. Her cheerful look turned cold, and the hot air rising around her seemed to be frozen.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Hestia, the arch-enemy who overtakes on the curve, there is also a Moon Goddess who does not play by the rules?
Okay, okay, this is how you all play, right?

Just wait for me, Artemis, just wait for me!!!
but……

No matter it is overtaking on a curve or playing by unconventional means, it is ultimately just a side path. As the goddess of wisdom, I will let you restless and thieving cats know what a 'wise' strategy is!

confession?

Haha~ This is the behavior of a loser. As a goddess, you should behave like a goddess!
Besides, you really don’t understand Suerlun at all!
Suerlun will definitely refuse! ——
ah? this……

Suer Lun was dumbfounded. Even though he was an expert at pretending to be confused, he didn't know how to respond...

It seems like any answer would be wrong.

If he agreed, Artemis would definitely take advantage of the situation and force him to make the agreement.

For example, when will the baby be born...

If it's not good, then Artemis also has an opinion. What if she just asks Suren to name one?
As we all know, a child's name is chosen by the father or mother. If the mother's name is rejected, then the next person to be named is...

If it has nothing to do with me, then Artemis will definitely, definitely let Suren have something to do with the child she is going to give birth to!
Die die die die die die!

A sure kill, no solution!
No matter what, Suerlun seemed to be forced into a corner by the casual words of this naive goddess!
"Sullen? Sullen..."

Artemis' gentle call seemed to still ring in his ears. Surren suddenly woke up. He put his hands on Artemis' shoulders and shook her desperately: "You are not Master Artemis, who are you?"

Lady Artemis, you are not that smart!!!

"..."

After a lot of jokes, there was still no effect. Artemis seemed to have made up her mind to make Suren surrender voluntarily, or she would beat Suren to his knees and force him to go back and be her... I mean lover.

It was at this time that Surlun finally understood Artemis's ambition. He no longer had any fluke mentality, and his expression returned to being serious and earnest.

"Ah...Diana, there is no need to speak. I know what you are thinking, so you should also know my will."

Surlun still left room for maneuver when he spoke, but the rejection in his words was not concealed. This move surprised all the gods who were secretly paying attention to the matter.

Suerlun actually rejected the Moon Goddess's love? !

No matter how many outstanding women Suren had rejected before, the gods would not be surprised that even Atalanta, the strongest female hero in Greece, was able to give birth to Europa of Europe.

After all, they are just two mortals.

How can the charm of God be compared with the weak aesthetic sense of mortals?
But now, Suerlun can resist the charm of God and express his wishes soberly and rationally...

The gods couldn't help but look at Suren with admiration, and as the main character, Artemis looked up at Suren blankly, her eyes revealing emotions that even Suren couldn't understand.

After an unknown amount of time, Artemis suddenly burst out laughing: "Okay, I'm just kidding you, Suerlun, are you hungry? Let's go eat!"

"Diana, I have something else to do. Why don't you go eat first?" Suren took out a gold coin from his arms and placed it in Artemis' palm to warm it up, but her fingertips were already cold. He smiled and said, "In the human world, no matter what you do, you can't do without this thing..."

"This is a little souvenir I brought from the underworld. Persephone insisted on giving it to me..."

Since gold and silver ores are buried underground, Hades, the god of the underworld who holds power over the underworld, is also regarded as the god of money and wealth. Although the underworld is desolate, it is extremely wealthy, although the underworld does not need money most of the time.

Artemis still had a naive smile on her face. She took the gold coin from Suerlun. The moment she turned around and let go, Suerlun felt the coldness of Artemis' fingertips spread to her palm...

Watching Artemis leave with every step as precise as if measured with a ruler, without her previous liveliness and cheerfulness, Suren pursed her lips, feeling a little confused.

Artemis didn't break up with me right away and really turn me into a wild boar or a fawn, but you can't guess what the goddess is thinking. Before today, Suerlun never thought that Artemis would want to go after him. This was really a big "surprise".

Suerlun was also a little distracted. He had been Cynthia's -- or Artemis's -- single pusher since he was born. Today, the single push target left him in a daze. Even Suerlun's concentration was a little confused.

This is the face of God...

Is it good or bad?
This appearance that even gods are obsessed with and have a crush on...

It's a curse, right?
His intention was definitely not to make Artemis sad.

But, Lady Artemis has already left, so she won't blame him in her heart, right?
Surlun was also wandering aimlessly, and before he knew it, he walked into the cave where Athena was.

This was not surprising, Artemis herself was leading him here, and he was not far from the cave itself.

Surren looked at the goddess in front of him who was about to take off her clothes and bathe with great surprise, and exclaimed: "Goddess Athena? How come I can meet you here?"

I have to say, this is really a kind of fate (it’s so true)!

If he hadn't spoken, Athena should have taken off her toga by now, but because Suren reminded her, Athena naturally didn't take off her clothes.

"Sullen, why are you here?" Athena sighed imperceptibly, but it seemed to be an illusion. She smiled and said, "What a fate!"

"...Lady Athena, are you also traveling in the mortal world?"

Surlun greeted her calmly, showing no sign of being flustered at all, then naturally took out a piece of wood from his arms and placed it in front of Athena.

This is a piece of wood from the bow of the Argo. When the Argo docked at an island, all the heroes went down to replenish supplies and look for wood, so the Argo temporarily became ownerless.

Suerlun thought that no one wanted this piece of wood, so he picked it up.

There was no way. These heroes were so energetic that it was common for them to spar with each other on the ship. Suren and Hercules had been challenged many times.

Fortunately, there is Atalanta. Most of the heroes who challenged Surlun were severely taught a lesson by Tamiao, and realized the gap between themselves and God!
It is basically difficult for heroes of similar strength to stop fighting. For example, Suren and Hercules can fight with other heroes on the boat, but they have to find an uninhabited island to make an appointment for a fight.

The Argo was damaged more than once or twice, and sometimes it even had to stop for repairs. Suren took a piece of wood from the bow, stern, and sail as a commemoration of the adventure.

It is also the highest respect paid to the goddess.

This is part of my adventure in Surren.

When Athena saw the obviously smashed piece of wood, she showed a breathtakingly beautiful smile on her face: "Sulun, I like this gift very much."

This piece of broken wood is worthless garbage to anyone, but Athena thinks it is a priceless treasure.

Athena led Suren inside. This seemingly natural floor-heated hot spring was actually fully equipped and had actually grown into a bathroom.

"How is it? Sulun, this is the most comfortable sanctuary I have ever found in the world, with a natural warm spring inside." Athena said with a smile: "You are the second person besides me to set foot in this room~"

Athena's words had some implications, but after listening carefully, it seemed that Athena didn't say anything. She was just saying hello in a very common sense.

Athena's rank is much higher than Artemis...

“I am honored to have this privilege.”

Suer Lun said a few polite words, and then he spoke: "However, it is still a little unexpected. I didn't expect that Goddess Athena, you are such a casual god in private?"

Yes, casually.

In private, Athena was surprisingly simple, which was not at all consistent with her reputation as the goddess of wisdom, war and victory.

"Oh?" Athena asked back, "Sullen, do you think this room doesn't match the style I've always shown?"

Although this is the hot spring where Athena temporarily resides, if Athena is willing, the power of the Lord God can transform this place in an instant.

Suer Lun nodded: "That's about it. The sanctuary of the twelve main gods should be more majestic..."

"You're wrong~" Athena said softly, "It's not the majesty of the sanctuary where the twelve gods live, but the supreme majesty of the twelve gods themselves."

"And the sanctuary where I, Athena, descended and resided, even though it may seem so casual in your eyes, to outsiders, this is the most sacred and noble sanctuary of the goddess in Greece."

"Even if I won't descend upon my temple on earth for hundreds of years, the Athenians will never dare to move my temple of Athena. They can only develop around my temple instead of going to other places, those precious places that are more in line with the king of Athens' mind, to develop the city-state."

Athens is a city-state that developed around Athena. In the Age of Gods, this was beyond doubt!

"Athena is awesome!" Surren laughed and joked, "As expected of one of the Twelve Gods, she easily accomplished what we couldn't do!"

After entering this room, for some reason, Suren relaxed a lot, and the emotional changes brought about by Artemis before were also reduced.

Athena poured a glass of wine for Surren and said casually, "Surren, do you regard me and Athena as your friends?"

Surren said seriously: "Of course, it's my honor, Lady Athena!"

"You..." Athena's beautiful eyes showed a hint of anger: "Look at you, you are still using honorifics."

"Haha~ I'm just teasing you, Athena!" Suren was indeed teasing Athena. He was full of affection for this delicate and gentle goddess. He could tell at a glance that she was a goddess with a very good temper.

For some reason, the intelligent and beautiful Athena seemed to have a soothing magic. Communicating with Athena was very comfortable and could relax his tense mind.

This is a feeling he cannot get from other opposite sexes, very relaxing and comfortable.

"So, Surlun, what's on your mind? Why don't you want to tell me?" Athena's words were still at a very high level, making it difficult to understand the goddess' true meaning.

At least if he didn't use his brain, it would be difficult for Surren to tell, unless he was willing to carefully think about Athena's thoughts.

But then, that comfortable feeling of security would be lost.

Suren was immersed in the goddess's casualness and wrapped in a relaxed feeling, so he was naturally willing to express his emotions and wishes.

"Ah~ It's not a big deal!" Suer Lun didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I'm just a little worried about Lady Artemis..."

Lady Artemis!
Athena!
A blush flashed across Athena's pretty face. She always felt that this scene was so familiar!
Hestia, I'm the one walking in front!

Only me,
Only I, Athena, am the ultimate winner!

"This time, Lady Artemis was deeply hurt." Suerlun said worriedly, "If Lady Artemis has resentment in the future, how can I resolve it?"

"Don't worry~" Athena narrowed her eyes and said with a sweet smile: "Artemis is not such a stingy goddess. I know her, don't worry!"

This is a lie!

Artemis is the most willful goddess. As the youngest daughter of Zeus and the youngest of the twelve gods, Artemis is very much loved by Zeus.

This also made Artemis even more willful and petty. If any mortal sacrifice was disrespectful, she would immediately retaliate, and she did not care about the majesty and demeanor of the main god at all.

I am bullying the weak with my power, and I am using the majesty of God to oppress a mortal like you!

Steamed buns, you don’t have a handle?
but--

Athena was also confident that Artemis would never bring any trouble to Surlun!

It's not that she identifies with Artemis so much, but that she, the goddess of wisdom Athena, is confident that she can help Suren withstand all the pressure from the gods.

As a reserved goddess, if you take the initiative to confess your love to your lover, you will run the risk of being rejected. That is a strategy that a desperate loser would use when he is struggling to survive.

As the majestic goddess of wisdom, Athena must use justice to overcome evil. She silently devotes herself to Suren, just like watering a seed and silently waiting for it to bloom and bear fruit.

Athena knew a truth a long time ago. She had done her homework and used up all her patience for the perfect hero Suren. She knew that Suren would not let go until she achieved the Golden Age of Reign and was truly satisfied with Greece in this Age of the Gods.

Suerlun, who is unable to let go and puts all his love on himself, may find it difficult to accept any person of the opposite sex as true love.

So, she just helped him achieve it.

It doesn’t matter. Athena is very patient. What she admires most about Surren is his innocence and persistence, isn’t it?
Whether as the mother of heroes or as a goddess, Athena admires Suren very much, who is always full of ambition.

Then when her long-cherished wish is fulfilled, Suerlun will sooner or later know Athena's contribution. At that time, Suerlun will suddenly realize that it is no wonder that she has been so smooth along the way. It turns out that it is the goddess Athena who has been silently paying!
He can even take advantage of the help given to Surlun by other gods and take all the credit for himself.

Knowing each other and accompanying each other naturally turn into love.

This is Athena’s grand strategy!

"Really?" Suerlun was a little skeptical. How could Lady Artemis be so easy to talk to...

"Of course it's true." Athena sipped the grape juice elegantly and said softly, "Sullen, don't always be prejudiced against Artemis. She is a little fierce to outsiders, but she is still a good person."

If Artemis heard this, she would probably be furious.

Suren didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. Instead, he felt that Athena's words were very fair and were speaking from a third-party perspective, without bias.

But if you put yourself in Artemis's perspective, you can appreciate the sense of superiority that Athena expressed in these words, as if a winner was looking down on the loser at her feet, or the queen was hypocritically comforting the loser.

Suerlun recalled carefully that he and Cynthia had been together for fifteen years, and finally said with relief: "Is that so! It seems that I misunderstood Lady Artemis."

However, since it was Athena who said it, it would be okay for him to believe it.

After all, Athena is the goddess of wisdom. If she says it’s okay, then it must be okay!

Well... this is lunar Greek mythology, which may be different from orthodox Greek mythology, so let’s respect the lunar setting for now!

Suren felt relieved and no longer worried about Artemis.

Suren and Athena chatted for a long time. At the end, Athena said generously, "Suren, don't just focus on meeting me. If you have time, don't forget the support and help of Hera, Hestia, and Zeus."

This overwhelming atmosphere and selfless demeanor made Surren feel ashamed. It was all because of the great shock that Lady Artemis had given him, which had caused him to misunderstand Athena before...

For a moment, Suren always felt that what Athena said was ambiguous, as if she was vaguely tempting him.

Fortunately, Surlun kept his composure and did not ask Athena directly whether she was interested in him as well. Otherwise, he would have been embarrassed to use his toes to dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment and then crawl into it and never come out.

What Pu Xinnan? All the goddesses who support you do so because they like you, right? You are such an idiot!

such.

Just thinking about it will tell you this will be the outcome. It's horrible!

Suerlun's trust in Athena soared, and he stood up and said, "Athena, I will go back to handle official business for the time being."

"Well, go ahead. A hero should be busy with his career."

Athena looked at Suerlun's back with her bright golden eyes, and murmured in a voice that only she could hear: "If you want to become the goddess's lover, how can you not accomplish a great feat that will shock the world?"

"Confession can only be the clarion call of victory, not the charge of attack."

Athens, sitting behind a small home-style desk, Athena rested her chin on one hand, with several exquisite dolls placed in front of her.

Athena's slender fingers gently touched the forehead of a doll wearing a moon hair ornament, and with a little force, she pushed the small doll down.

"Sorry~Artemis, out!"

This naive goddess probably didn't understand how she lost to Athena until she was eliminated.

There is no way. This is the skill and ability of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. She always does things one by one, one after another, making people fall into her trap unconsciously.
