Chapter 235 You Are so Bad, I Like You so Much! (41k)

Chapter 235 You are good or bad, I like it so much! (4.1k)

Lorne thought for a moment and expressed his opinion carefully and seriously.

"The first is Themis and Astraea, the pair of masters and disciples. Although they have completed the compilation of the [Code], they will definitely encounter various problems during the execution. You can use this excuse to retain them. , hoping that they would take up the position of executive judges and supervise the implementation of the law to observe the results. According to the responsible characters of the two goddesses of justice, they should not refuse.

In the specific execution process, you can imitate the operation mode of the three judges of Hades. You and the two generations of justice goddesses will jointly form the Ares Mountain [Tribunal]. The powerful Astraea is responsible for apprehending the criminals and the experienced Themis is responsible for hearing the case, and you, the wise one, make the final ruling and review.

If there is a case with too big differences, they can vote together and conduct a final review in accordance with the procedures.

Of course, the most important task of the [Tribunal] is not to deal with ordinary and trivial cases.

Mortals, or ordinary demigods, who break the law can leave it to King Aegeus of Athens to decide on his own. This is the responsibility and obligation within his ability; only cases involving gods need to be handed over to the tribunal to be resolved by the impartial Tribunal. The two goddesses jointly judged.

In this way, what belongs to gods belongs to gods, and what belongs to humans belongs to humans. This will not damage the face of the gods, but can also effectively practice justice. This should greatly reduce the resistance in the implementation process of the [Code] and build a benign environment for Athens. social order. "

good idea!

Athena nodded subconsciously, her eyes shining brightly.

"Next, there is Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, and the nine Muses. Their mother and daughter can be invited to become special teachers or honorary professors at the [Athens Academy], mainly responsible for poetry, medicine, history, rhetoric, philosophy, etc. Compiling and organizing textbooks for other subjects are familiar to them, which not only allows them to spend their free time and bind them to Ares Mountain for a long time, but also can use this as a basis to open up people's wisdom and bring cultural changes to Athens. Prosperity."

good!

Athena gave a fair evaluation in her heart and continued to nod.

"Then there are the three goddesses of Mercy. They are currently serving under Lord Hestia. It would be too wasteful to simply entertain themselves in their own small circle. They can be combined with the cultural promotion of catering and festivals and entertainment activities related to the gods of Athens. , such as the Festival of Vesta, the Festival of Dionysus, the Festival of the Goddess of Victory, the Olympian Games led by Athens, etc., thereby expanding your and Lord Hestia’s divine power, thereby gaining more power of faith.

If promoted properly, the theocratic concepts we have such as festivals, banquets, joy, etc. can be radiated to surrounding city-states in a concrete way, attracting more people to join or follow. In this way, the [Entertainment] attributes of Lady Hestia and the Three Graces, combined with the [Cultural] attributes of the Goddess of Memory and the Nine Muses, might be able to shape Athens into a center of entertainment and culture. "

Athena frowned slightly: "What's the use of this?"

Lorne smiled mysteriously and reminded meaningfully: "Don't underestimate them, they may be the sharpest weapons in the world.

What happened in Crete has proved that simply strengthening oneself will never be able to compete with the gods, and this road will not work at all.

But conquest is not limited to war and force.

Civilization is a bloodless knife that can subtly change everything around us and moisturize things silently.

As long as we use this weapon well, we can use the disguise of [culture], [festival] and [entertainment] to carve the cultural imprint of Athens on all lands, transform all city-states into followers of Athens, and make all humans on the earth All assimilated into—Athenians!

By then, the glory of Athens will be the glory of Greece!

Unless the god-king of Olympus dares to start a new catastrophe and cleanse all mankind, you will always be invincible! "

As Lorne's sonorous description fell into Athena's ears, a grand blueprint seemed to slowly unfold in front of the goddess of wisdom, making it impossible for her to maintain a calm and calm expression.

The practice of the rule of law builds a stable social order;

The prosperity of culture has made Athens a holy place for the intersection of ideas, attracting countless attention;

The assimilation of festivals and entertainment moistens things silently, bringing the ultimate victory of civilization!

These are not three things, but a whole step-by-step system!

Moreover, based on what I have deduced over and over again in my mind.

This plan seems feasible.

Wonderful, wonderful!

Seeing the calm and calm goddess of wisdom in the past, beaming in front of his eyes, a malicious smile appeared on Lorne's face.

He comes from a later generation with information explosion. Of course he understands the importance of "entertainment" and "culture". He also understands that adding some private goods to festivals and entertainment and continuously promoting the impact can have an impact on the entire Greek civilization system. , what impact will it have.

According to incomplete statistics, the ancient Greeks celebrated more than 300 festivals. Most of their festivals were related to gods. People worshiped gods and held celebrations on that day. Among the more famous ones are the Festival of Dionysus, the Festival of Artemis, the Festival of Hermes and so on. In the famous city-state of Athens, there were more than 140 festival days in a year, which shows how enthusiastic the ancient Greeks were about festivals.

There are so many festivals and entertainments that spread the energy too much. It should be considered normal to accidentally miss one or two, right?

——For example, let everyone know the existence of Zeus, but no one will sacrifice to Zeus alone?

——If I remember correctly, there were not many temples and city-states dedicated to worshiping the God-King of Olympus on the land of Greece in later generations...

After muttering sinisterly, Lorne continued to patch up his plan.

“Besides that, I think there are two things that can go hand in hand.”

"Speak quickly!" Athena asked impatiently.

Lorne smiled slightly and answered unhurriedly.

“First, after the Athens Academy develops, it should recruit students from all Greek city-states and give princes and princesses from all countries an opportunity to study humbly.

Secondly, for those who have excellent grades and pass the review, you can personally come forward and give them the Holy Cloth to encourage these underachievers to fight for justice in the world! "

Hearing those high-sounding words, the goddess of wisdom opposite suddenly understood.

"You mean, let me use the platform of the Academy of Athens to first recruit the bloodline of the builders of various city-states and train them as my confidants, and then use their influence and power in various countries, or wait for them to succeed to the throne, to implement imitation How many generations did it take for the reforms and culture of Athens to gradually complete the assimilation of all Greek city-states? "

"These [learned] princes and princesses are the seeds sown at the upper levels to dismantle the most stubborn divine-blood nobles in each city-state; and our entertainment, wine and food will bring happiness and joy to the people at the lower levels. This is Enough to turn [them] into [us].”

As the man in front of her spoke his plan with a smile on his face, Athena looked at the opposite person with a hint of horror.

This guy's scheming is a bit scary...

--But I like it!

Then she realized that she was the biggest beneficiary of the whole plan, the goddess of wisdom raised her lips in pleasure, her purple eyes stared at the hero who had planned a great chess game for her, and a burning passion unknowingly leaked from the depths of her eyes.

Lorne was so stared at that he broke the delicate atmosphere with a dry cough.

"Regarding their placement, this is all I can think of right now. Do you have anything else to add?"

that's it?

Athena was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly.

its not right!

Is this what I'm asking?

Soon, the goddess of wisdom, who had regained her consciousness, looked at the "number one hero" who had worked hard for the construction of Athens in front of her, and secretly gritted her teeth.

This guy is really naughty!

Immediately, a hint of anger appeared on Athena's face, and she scolded him angrily.

"They have been in Athens for so long, shouldn't you care about them first when you come back?"

"They have hands and feet, and they can eat and drink. In such a comfortable place as Ares Mountain, I still need to worry about them."

Lorne smiled and waved his hand, but did not accept the move and kicked back the malicious ball again.

"Furthermore, with your knowledge and good use of people and Lady Hestia's hospitality, wouldn't you still neglect them?"

"They all came to Athens because of you. It's never good to be too separated..."

"Didn't they have a very fulfilling life during my absence? I am just a guide. It is thanks to you and Lady Hestia that I can retain them and contribute to the construction of Athens."

"..."

After a lot of tricks, Athena hated the non-stick pan in front of her and itched her teeth, but she had nowhere to say it.

Seeing that the goddess of wisdom opposite her was about to lose her hold and looked like she wanted to pounce on him immediately and bite him, Lorne quickly looked solemn and brought up the topic he had prepared in advance.

"I heard that the king of Corinth was captured again recently?"

"You mean Sisyphus?"

Athena frowned when she heard this and hummed lightly.

"It's not because that boy is too crazy. He has just escaped from the underworld and is not keeping a low profile. He actually holds a banquet in the palace all day long and brags about his great achievements in playing tricks on the gods. The god of death is still in his hands. In the underworld, It would be strange not to do surgery on him.”

Hearing the unhappy response from the other party, a smile appeared in Lorne's eyes.

This is Athena's most valuable character. As long as she talks about business, she will abandon distracting thoughts and correct her attitude.

Moreover, with the grand blueprint he has thrown out, those goddesses who have been clearly arranged will definitely receive courtesy from Athena, the host, and he does not need to worry at all.

After all, this goddess of wisdom always puts her career first. As long as the other party is useful, even if she feels unhappy, she will make the best use of her talents and patiently finish the business first.

For example, now.

Lorne raised his hand to rub his chin and asked.

"Did Hecate do it?"

"Well, not only did she throw Sisyphus back into Hades, she also tricked him into finding the location of Thanatos, and also sent the God of Death back to his original post."

"It seems that I will go to Hades again in a while."

"Are you afraid that he will involve you?"

"Not only this, there seem to be a lot of secrets in the underworld..."

Lorne pondered for a moment and selectively told Athena some things about the Elysee Garden suspicion, Typhon's resurrection, and the discord between Hades and Hecate.

As he spoke, he lifted up his clothes slightly and used his divine power to reveal the maze-like black ring mark on his chest.

Athena's face changed slightly when she saw this situation.

"Hecate's Wheel?! You're marked by her!"

"She pointed out the way for me once, this is the price..."

Lorne pondered for a moment, put down his clothes again, and looked at Athena in front of him.

"So, I have to go to the Hades and find a way to solve the hidden dangers in my body."

"I understand..."

Athena nodded, her expression more serious.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"If possible, please mobilize the authority of those dark chess pieces in the Hades for me."

"King Minos and others?"

"Well, this time going to the Hades is likely to cause a lot of trouble. At that time, I guess they are the only ones who can be used with confidence."

"Okay, they will listen to your orders!"

Seeing Athena nod in agreement without hesitation, Lorne couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

And as he caught a glimpse of a skylark combing its feathers on the treetops from the corner of his eye, his eyes rolled and he coughed slightly.

"This matter involves a serious matter, and words are not enough. Can I get some evidence from you to facilitate the mobilization of the power that Crete has buried in the underworld in advance?"

"Given your relationship, King Minos should not make things difficult for you, right?"

"Let's put it in a different light. He is the monarch and I am the secretary. Small matters don't matter, but if big troubles involve him, there is always some explanation. Moreover, unless it is absolutely necessary, there is no need to ask King Minos to come forward directly. Using your token, you may be able to achieve your goal by moving a few chess pieces."

Hearing the other party's convincing explanation, Athena finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, what evidence do you want?"

Lorne thought about it seriously and gave a meaningful answer.

"The wise owl only spreads its wings at dusk. May your feathers allow me to see the [road] in the [dark night] and successfully lead me [home]."

As a goddess with literary and artistic divine power, Athena immediately understood and raised her hand to lift a strand of silver hair.

With a pulling sensation and slight tingling coming from her scalp, Athena pursed her lips, spread her palm, and her hair turned into a white owl feather and handed it to Lorne in front of her.

It has her unique aura and divinity, which can never be imitated. Whether it is King Minos or the soldiers of Crete, they will obey it.

Seeing this, Lorne felt like he had found a treasure. He immediately held the white owl feather in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

"If there is nothing else, I won't bother you for now."

"Don't go to the underworld to take risks before you are fully prepared."

"Well, don't worry!"

Hearing Athena's concern, Lorne nodded solemnly, and then under the eyes of the goddess of wisdom, he carefully left the room.

The problem of Ares Mountain has not been solved yet, and Hecate, that woman, is thinking about it again. He is really going to cause trouble.

Watching the figure gradually moving away until it disappeared into the thick night, Athena raised her hand to touch her forehead with mixed feelings. Her fingertips accidentally touched a part of her scalp, and her body was slightly startled.

Wait, trouble?

After a moment, the white arm fell down, and a pair of deep purple eyes flickered faintly in the darkness.
