I'm tied to Athena.

Keep an eye on the author, he will be on the update list this week

Chapter 126: Athena took me to a brothel

In the dark alley, the magician in black began to tell a story that happened a thousand years ago.

Once upon a time, there was a clever and ingenious man. He was a great craftsman who could create any building or work of art.

His technology has made a huge contribution to culture and civilization. Even the God of Craftsmanship did not hide his admiration for him and called him the world's greatest architect.

The white wall that blocked the monsters and was known as the last fortress of mankind was built by him personally; the graceful and solemn divine tower that was closer to heaven than any other building and was called the Tower of Babel was also built by him.

That man could be called a peerless genius. From ancient times to the present, no one could compare to him.

Everything in the world is a piece of cake for him, and there is nothing he can't do.

In the face of people's compliments and praises from the gods, he accepted them without hesitation and proudly believed that he was the best in the world.

But one day, he became possessed...

That man was fascinated by the world.

Under a gaping hole in a corner of the continent, there is another world different from the surface.

That world had incredible light, flowers, plants, and minerals never seen before, as well as an intricate maze terrain that even he could not understand.

He entered the underground city and continued to move forward. Every time he entered a new area, he would see a completely different scenery from the previous area.

To adventurers and humans, it was a devil's den that gave birth to countless monsters and a passage to the abyss. But to him, that world separated from the surface was an indescribable work.

It is a supernatural work that humans would never be able to create in their entire lives. It is a work created by the world to tell humans how insignificant you are.

The man joined the clan in order to fully understand the dungeon. As he became stronger, he continued to explore the mysteries of the dungeon.

However, this is a masterpiece of the world, a work that transcends the human realm and reaches the realm of God. The more he knows, the more he understands that it is impossible for humans to create such a masterpiece.

That is not something that human wisdom can measure. No matter how much people praise his wisdom, no matter how much the gods praise his ingenuity, it cannot change the fact that he is a human being.

He reached the limit of human ability and did something that no one else could do. And because of this, he collapsed.

He was defeated by the work that embraced everything and was extremely chaotic. He deeply understood the limitations of human beings.

The screams that burst out of the collapsed man's throat were the cries of a monster that was no longer human. The man decided that if humans could not reach such a state, then he would stop being human - he would become a devil, a monster, and even if he had to fight to the death, he would understand the beauty of that world!

From that time on, the man began to deviate from the norm. He used all kinds of strange ideas to create works that ordinary people could not understand. Over time, he, who was once called a genius, was labeled a weirdo and began to be ridiculed.

Finally, one day, that man completely disappeared from history.

"This is really an interesting story." Li Yun listened to Fels's story quietly, and then said: "The person you are talking about is Daedalus, right?"

“.....Yes.” Fels admitted that the genius who was older than him, the legend who witnessed the growth of Orario, was the protagonist of this story.

"Daedalus is one of the confidants of the great god Uranus. He once made great contributions to Orario. But now..." Fels sighed. This legendary man who once built Orario has unknowingly pushed Orario to the brink of destruction.

After Daedalus determined his goal, he was determined to create another world beyond the underground labyrinth with his superb skills and irreplaceable obsession.

No matter if it is a world beyond human control! I will definitely surpass it! If it is a realm that even gods cannot reach, I will surpass gods first. Give up my human body and turn it into obsession!

With such obsession, he began his life underground in Orario - building another underground maze!

Regardless of whether Daedalus' actions put Orario in crisis, just talking about obsession, no one from ancient times to the present can compare to him.

However, his ambition was never realized - his life came to an end.

Even though his obsession and mental strength surpass those of humans, he is still a mortal after all and cannot cross the limit called lifespan.

In order to perfectly display the design he obtained after surpassing the gods in this world, he left a curse - his own notebook! He handed everything to his descendants.

As long as his descendants read the notebook he left behind that records his designs, they will never be able to escape the bondage of blood - spend their entire lives building a maze!

That's right, this man used this curse to completely trap his descendants underground in Orario, and they spent ten, hundred, and thousand years giving everything for this man-made maze.

What Fels and his companions saw after breaking through the gate was the huge maze that the Daedalus clan had spent a thousand years to build!

"What an inspiring story." Li Yun smiled. "I admire Daedalus a little. As expected, those guys who are called geniuses are all crazy."

"There are countless traps and dangers in that maze. We rushed in rashly last time and were not well prepared. We were forced to retreat by the current head of Daedalus who controlled those traps."

"To be honest, we didn't even see the shadow of the dark faction last time." Fels sighed, "Although we have thought about gathering the power of other clans to wipe out the dark faction in one fell swoop, but..."

"This matter is of great importance. If it gets out, it will only cause Orario to panic."

"The Great God has decided to hand over the dark faction to the Ganesha clan and the Loki clan, but the Loki clan just returned from an expedition, so this matter has been delayed until now."

"Where are Freya's family? With Ota here, your success rate will be much higher, right?" Li Yun crossed his arms, a little curious.

"Freya's Familia will not join forces with Loki's Familia. Even if we can convince her, it will take a lot of time."

"Besides, the orb has been transported up here, and the dark faction has already started to create fairy monsters on the ground of Orario. We don't have that much time to convince Freya's family." Fels said hoarsely, "Your initiative to go to the artificial maze this time is a timely help for us."

"So, you want me to cause them some trouble, delay enough time, and then let the Ganesha clan and the Loki clan attack together, right." Li Yun understood. No wonder this guy Fels handed the key to him so easily.

That was the original idea.

However, he said from the beginning that he was going to... fight against the dark faction!

There are two problems that prevent Li Yun from going on an expedition alone with peace of mind. One is the dark faction that may emerge at any time to destroy Orario and threaten the safety of Athena and Ellie. The other is the fairy monsters that may emerge from the dungeon at any time.

As for the latter, Li Yun will definitely encounter it as long as he continues to go deeper into the dungeon, but as for the former, he can only face the enemy in Orario.

Compared with passively counterattacking, Li Yun now wants to take the initiative to attack.

"Thank you for the information, I will pay attention to it." Li Yun waved and left, "I will deal with the dark faction!"

That being said, after saying goodbye to Fels, Li Yun did not just run directly to the artificial maze to cause trouble for the dark faction.

They have been able to survive the siege of the guild and many clans until now, so they must have some extraordinary qualities. Moreover, he also heard a hidden message from Fels's words - there is more than one entrance and exit to the artificial maze!

Li Yun was confident that he could take out the dark faction by himself, but he had no way of blocking different exits at the same time and completely sealing off the entrances and exits of the artificial maze.

If his encirclement and suppression fails this time, the dark faction will definitely target Athena and Ellie.

He couldn't let them fall into danger, so he had to make full preparations.

Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, Li Yun would choose to go home and ask Athena.

Smart Athena will surely come up with a perfect solution.

In fact, Li Yun could also go for a walk on Daedalus Street. With his walking speed, he could quickly walk around Daedalus Street. In this way, he would be able to find some entrances and exits to the maze.

But after experiencing the complex and changeable terrain of the dungeon, Li Yun did not think that the artificial maze created by Daedalus after he abandoned his human form would be worse than the dungeon. Therefore, he needed more information.

After returning home, Li Yun told Athena about this matter. The petite silver-haired goddess blinked and then smiled.

"It just so happens that I have enough information here."

.......

"....." Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Yun was silent for a rare moment. He glanced at the petite goddess beside him, stretched out his hand, and boldly placed it on her smooth forehead, "You don't have a fever..."

"I am the God of Disobedience. Even if I don't use my divine power, my physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary adventurers. It is impossible for me to catch a cold." Athena slapped Li Yun's big hand away and snorted, "Don't think of me as too fragile."

This is true. After Athena's power was taken away by her mother Metis, she did not die after falling from a height of several thousand meters. Her physical fitness was extremely good.

But, if Athena didn't have a fever, why would they come here - the most popular place for men in the maze city of Orario, Fengyue Street!

Fengyue Street is located in the fourth district of the maze city, on the southeast street.

Unlike other bustling shops on Southeast Street, this place exudes a sexy atmosphere that makes male hormones soar.

Although it was still daytime, the pink magic stone lamps installed on the walls or pillars of the buildings were still on. The pink magic stone lamps illuminated the strange-shaped plaques and the prostitutes who were wearing dresses that exposed their perfect bodies.

As the largest red-light district in Orario, there are all kinds of prostitutes here, including Amazons, humans, orcs, dwarves, and even dwarves....

Standing at the entrance of Fengyue Street, Li Yun watched the prostitutes stop the men walking on the street, then smiled provocatively and said a few words to the men, and then dragged the men inside...

His face turned a little red.

To be honest, he is a teenager who has been single since he was born. In the past 20 years, he has not had any intimate actions with girls, not even holding hands.

Although he knew about the existence of these places from his classmates, and they would say things like "go go go" and "I'm ready" when chatting with them, but they were just talk. If he were really asked to come to such a place, he would definitely back down.

Looking at the vaguely visible plump breasts, arms and thighs exposed to the air, Li Yun felt an irresistible dizziness. This ball is so white... No, these legs are so big...

"Are other women pretty?" Athena's voice was a little low.

"I'm really wondering why you brought me here." With a smile, Li Yun looked away guiltily.

"Hmph!" Athena felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not have brought him here.

Fengyue Street is a very peculiar place, because the prostitutes here come from all corners of the world, and they bring the customs of their hometowns here, and finally express them in the form of buildings. This also results in many buildings in Fengyue Street that cannot be seen in Orarium.

The moment he walked into Fengyue Street, Li Yun felt like he had traveled through time again.

There are buildings from desert countries, buildings from coastal countries, buildings from oasis countries, and even buildings from an island country.

Li Yun followed Athena silently. During this time, many prostitutes wanted to tease Li Yun, but they were all forced back by Athena's oppressive eyes.

In this way, the two of them came to the outside of a palace.

It was an extremely luxurious palace, its majesty seemed like a royal palace standing in the vast desert, and its magnificent appearance was extremely luxurious.

As you approach the palace through the circular forecourt, you'll see emblems of other factions above the front gate.

The badge depicts a naked woman wearing a veil and exposing the upper half of her face...

Li Yun knew who Athena was going to see—Ishtar, the goddess of beauty who was the same as Freya and the supreme god who controlled this romantic street!

He looked at Athena, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. Athena explained, "Ishtar has a connection with the dark faction."

Li Yun nodded, indicating that he understood. Then, Athena took him into the palace.

Originally, they should have waited for notification and obtained Ishtar's consent before entering, but Athena was a goddess, and with her aura, she broke in directly.

"What a rude greeting, Athena." As the two walked into the hall of the palace, a lazy and charming voice came from upstairs.

When they looked up, they saw a dark-skinned beauty in revealing clothes.

The clothes that were so revealing that it made people feel a little embarrassed could only barely cover her plump breasts and mysterious areas. The brown skin exposed to the air exuded a sweet scent. The headbands, bracelets, anklets and other decorations on her body sparkled with the light of money.

She held her pipe and looked down at Li Yun and the others from a corner of the building.

Chapter 127: Dark Athena

This was a luxurious room, from the walls to the carpets, every corner exuded a luxurious atmosphere. Li Yun and Athena sat on a velvet sofa, and sitting opposite them on another velvet sofa was the main deity of the Ishtar clan - the goddess of beauty Ishtar!

This is Ishtar's reception room, or in fact, a bedroom. In a corner of the room, there is a bed with a canopy, and beside the bed is burning the fragrance of musk.

There's nothing strange about it. Athena, who had investigated Ishtar's personality before coming here, knew that... the male god who talked to her would basically end up in bed while talking.

In the words of Ishtar, 'If you can do it in bed, do it in bed.'

The goddess was sitting on the sofa, puffing smoke from her pipe. There were only three of them in the room. The young man following Ishtar was waiting outside the door.

"Tell me what you want from me, Athena." The goddess looked at them lazily, "I've been very busy lately. If it's a small matter, you can leave now."

"Busy? Do you mean to transport the magic stone out through the secret passage of the dark faction and avoid the detection of Orario? Or do you mean to help the dark faction send the monster out of the artificial maze?"

The goddess' amethyst eyes immediately became sharp, "Athena, don't say anything careless. I have nothing to do with the dark faction."

"You were the one who sent the Piranha Plant to Melen, right? And there's also the secret passage built under Fengyue Street that connects to Daedalus Street. Do you think I would come here unprepared?"

"Now that you are here, I will make you speechless and admit your relationship with the dark faction." Athena chuckled, her black pupils flashing with wisdom. "So, how about making a deal with me?"

"What do you want?" The goddess of beauty narrowed her eyes and her expression relaxed a little.

The dark faction is a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to kill in Orario. If other people knew that she was related to the dark faction, she would also become the target of public criticism, so she has always hidden herself very well.

But since they were discovered, there was nothing they could do. Originally, they wanted to imprison Athena and Li Yun directly... but the other party proposed a deal... She, Ishtar, loved making deals the most.

"Tell me the news about the dark faction, and I will help you pull that woman off the throne. How about it?" The goddess of wisdom smiled boldly. Ishtar absolutely could not refuse this proposal.

What she felt towards the goddess of beauty Freya was no longer hostility, but hatred.

As long as it can make the goddess uncomfortable, she will do anything, no matter what it is. Therefore, she will not reject the wisdom of the goddess of wisdom!

"Oh?" Ishtar also smiled, and his lazy expression turned serious. "You want to get in touch with the dark faction?"

"Just think of it as a spur-of-the-moment move on my part. Do you agree to this deal?"

"I'm sorry. If it was before, I would be happy to accept this deal, but now, I already have a trump card to deal with that woman. Athena, in a short while, you will be able to see that woman lying on the ground." There was a flame hidden in the goddess's purple eyes, which was the jealousy of a woman.

"Hand card?" Athena showed some interest. "I'd like to know what hand card makes you so confident."

"Oh, I won't reveal my cards at this time." Ishtar returned to his lazy expression, "If this is the deal you want to make with me, then it's not necessary."
