Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 729 Each Has Their Own Goals
Of Zeus and Hera's two sons, Ares, though bloodthirsty, warlike, and cruel, was not particularly cunning.

If you give up, you give up.

But the other one is Hephaestus, the ugly god of fire who married Aphrodite.

Hephaestus's heart was actually uglier than his appearance.

Knowing he couldn't get the beautiful girl without Hermes and Demeter, who were protecting Persephone, he directly brought Ares, who was lustful.

But Ares still preferred Hephaestus's wife, so when he found Apollo and Hermes were both there, he simply disappeared.

How could the young and inexperienced Persephone compare to the stunning beauty of Cupid!

Hephaestus was furious that he had neither won the beautiful girl nor had his wife continued to have an affair, so he placed a portrait of Persephone in front of Zeus.

Even Ares wouldn't do something so shameless, after all, he truly loved his mother Hera.

Hephaestus, who outwardly always appeared willing to go to great lengths to awaken Hera, who had abandoned him because he was ugly, and who only hoped that his mother would see his bright eyes, did not hesitate to make such a despicable response.

Even Armies hadn't expected this.

After all, the Greek gods were just not very human, but they were very firm in their principles.

Perhaps Hephaestus's ugly appearance and his constant suppression by Ares had even deceived him.
Indeed, even though he knew that Hera loathed his ugliness, he still craved Hera to look at his Hephaestus squarely. Deep down, he was probably driven by prejudice and hatred.

After that... all they could do was send Persephone to the underworld.

Although there were many rumors, they all fell apart after Persephone got into Hades' carriage.

If she wasn't a pure young girl, the carriage simply couldn't tolerate it, and even Hades himself couldn't hold her back.

Of course, once Persephone became the official Queen of the Underworld, the chariot would equate her with Hades and would no longer be critical of her.

All of Hades' weapons and equipment had various problems, and none of them were usable by just anyone.

In other words, Pluto, with his homebody tendencies, can tolerate so much trouble and find a way to use it.

In any case, he mostly relies on his own strength when fighting, and doesn't depend much on equipment.

Zeus, who sold Persephone because he didn't want to be tormented by Hades, began to regret it at that moment.

However, instead of reflecting on his shamelessness in selling Persephone, he was extremely dissatisfied with Demeter, who had deceived him into believing that Persephone had already been having an affair.

Fortunately, they had anticipated this, and Demeter used this opportunity of being banished and abandoned to forge her own path as an agricultural goddess.

All of this seems to have lost its meaning after the destruction of Greece, but it still has an impact on the present day.

Of the greedy, cunning, shameless, and despicable Greek gods, besides Zeus, perhaps only Gaia survived.

If Ares could still cling to a sliver of his soul, Hephaestus would surely perish completely.

In the end, only he and Apollo were barely unharmed. Even Prometheus suffered considerable injuries and had to stay on Mount Olympus to recuperate, and he still can't leave the mountain.

"You just recovered your memories to this stage?" Armes was somewhat puzzled. "And then you had already agreed to the division of the divine office with Persephone?"
What are you really thinking?!

How could you decide your future before your memories have fully returned?
Is his sister... such a decisive person?

"What kind of riddles are you two playing?" The Countess frowned in displeasure.

“It’s nothing, Mom,” Pearl said after a moment’s thought. “The memories of the Greek gods, thief…inappropriate.”

Just like when I was a child, when my mother took me to the palace, she would always drag me away from some corners of the garden...

But they truly live anytime, anywhere, under the open sky.

"Mom... tell me, how could I accept memories like this so easily?"

Ezra's attention was drawn to something else: "You, your brother... you've seen it too?"

"Dad!" Armies broke down. "Why are you asking this?"
I'm not... it was just an act, nothing real..."

“Ah…” Pearl looked around, then suddenly asked Armies, “What should I say?”

Armies angrily slapped the back of her head... How could he possibly explain himself to her with such a pretentious act!
“Hmm…darling…” Ezra looked at his wife, “It’s not all bad news!”

At least we don't have to worry about our son's romantic relationships anymore.

He only likes being with men; I guess he's been through too much in the past and is tired of it all.

The Countess nodded blankly: "Oh, that's fine then."

Pearl looked around and then held her hand out to her mother: "Mom, eat up!"

"So, what priesthood did you choose?" The Countess ignored her urging and directly continued the conversation that had been interrupted by Armes.

“It can’t be called a divine duty either,” Pearl said hesitantly. “She is currently unable to control the divine duty of life due to her circumstances, and can only completely seal it away.”

But the part where life and death intersect is rather awkward.

We can neither discard it nor seal it away, but keeping it will make it difficult for her to recover from her injuries.

So, I left this part here. My brother should know!

Otherwise, why would he say that he wants his mother to go to the outer reaches of the underworld to see him?

The underworld will surely be filled with red spider lilies.

And I will live amidst this sea of ​​flowers, where life and death coexist.

Only beings that fall between these two categories can access my palace.

It's usually something like the spirit of a magical creature.

It suits me quite well too.

Suitable my ass!

The countess's eyebrows were practically standing on end.

Her daughter loved luxurious clothes and jewelry, and also enjoyed watching exciting events... In the end, she ended up hanging out with a bunch of dead animals?
The doubts that had been swirling in her mind these past few days were completely banished from her mind at this moment... This fool must be her daughter, no doubt about it.

No one but Pearl would be so foolish as to seek their own death.

That's not what Armies just said!
Although they were almost the same, the Countess heard about the existence of the City of the Underworld!
She took a deep breath, snatched the grain from Pearl's hand, put one in her own mouth, and immediately gave the other to Ezra.

Since it's good for vitality, it must lead to longevity.

She must have lived many more years, at least until Armies was officially deified.

Otherwise, she'd just be worrying like an idiot in her son's Starry Sky Fortress... that would drive her crazy!
She can stay in the starry sky to maintain her best condition, but she absolutely cannot lose the ability to return to the earth.

Armies blinked blankly... Although the process was different from what he had expected, the result seemed alright?

"Now that you've finished eating, can we get down to business?"

Katarina, who was already set up to listen to the audiobook, raised her front paw: "Although this part is quite good, I'm still more interested in how the road to wealth works."

Valera sighed softly: "Katarina, your failure to compete for the throne is not because you were so poor that you dug up and sold all the Gale Gems in your nest."

“But that made me lose face,” Katarina said without turning her head. “I’m going to smash the wolf king’s head with a mountain of gems!”

How dare he spy on a lady's lair!

Valera shook her head helplessly: "Katarina, since I've heard the whole thing, you should understand that if things are too different from what you imagine, I will definitely drag you back to my territory, right?"

“As long as you can do it.” Katarina proudly raised her head. “This trip to Watson Castle taught me some really good skills!”

"Is it the Blade of Pain?" Armes asked curiously. "I can sense very active spatial fluctuations emanating from you."

It's obvious at a glance that he has just had a deep exchange with the laws of space.

"Hmm." Katarina turned to look at him. "I'm very good at air magic; even Lori isn't as good as me in that area!"

Valera curled her lip in disdain.

When Armies saw this, he couldn't help but wonder.

Lowry wouldn't hide his talent because of a wolf's emotions.

However, Valera's obvious behavior probably wasn't for any legitimate reason.

He can ask later.

The reason Armies tried to steer the conversation away from Ezra was because he wanted to know whether the Lady of Pain had approached Ezra after confirming his and Pearl's identities, or before... This determined the level of danger in the place they wanted to go.

One possibility is that although it's dangerous, as long as you're smart and have the skills, you can come back alive.

One... even surviving a near-death experience is considered lucky.

But if Katarina can really sense space from the Blade of Pain, then that shouldn't be the worst outcome.

Oh, right, about that thing she mentioned earlier… Armis chuckled lightly: “How did you sense it? Was it the dimensional collapse caused by trying to catch those scarabs?”

Katarina froze for a moment, then nodded unhappily: "How come you're the same kind of person as Lori!"
They always like to say things that wolves least want to hear, making them crystal clear.

Valera couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Just you, only you."

Armies, however, was more concerned with another point: "So, Dad, did you also get the clues after Katarina's dimensional space exploded?"

“Huh? No!” Ezra paused for a moment. “It’s the books in that secret room.”

After those two guys ran away, when we were cleaning up the mess, we divided the data equally... not in a 50/50 split, but rather we sealed everything away and then gave each of them a copy.

He waved his hand: "Mine are all here! I'll find them and show them to you later."

"That's it!" Armes couldn't hold back.
