“Pointless!”
Zeus spoke for the first time and sighed.
Twenty years had passed since Lorne obtained the divine sword.
It was not as if they had not attempted talks in these twenty years, but they had all been rejected. Even if he put down his pride and personally went to invite them, it would be of no use.
If he was going to agree, he would have agreed long ago. The situation would not have ended up like this.
The palace fell into silence once again.
What should they do?
Could they only wait for death?
After all, the more time passed, the better it would be for them. However, the Titans would not give them another chance.
Hades’ eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. He rapped on the table and attracted everyone’s attention, he said slowly, “I have a way! Was not Athena saved by Lorne a few years ago? Perhaps we can start from here!”
After saying that, everyone looked at Athena, who was very quiet, and the latter was stunned.
A few years ago, when she went out to search for treasures, she had encountered some Titans. When she was about to be overpowered, Lorne suddenly appeared and saved her name. From then on, the two of them had known each other.
But she had never told anyone about this. How did Hades know this?
Zeus was puzzled. “Athena? She was saved by Lorne? Why didn’t we know this?”
Not only him, but the other gods also shook their heads.
Hades felt a sense of pride in his heart. Then, he looked at Athena. “Not only do I know that he saved you, I also know that the relationship between the two of you is not so ordinary!”
As soon as he said that, Athena’s expression changed. “Shut up! We don’t have any relationship!”
However, Zeus reacted and looked at his daughter. “Athena, what’s going on? Why did you hide this information?”
Athena remained silent and only glared at Hades.
“I know. Perhaps Lorne saved you, so you wanted to repay him. After a while, the two of you became familiar with each other.”
Hades continued.
Actually, it was also a coincidence. He was also at the scene when Athena was in danger, but he had been hiding in the dark.
After that, he often followed Athena when she met Lorne.
Athena was silent when she heard that. The gods took it that Hades was right.
Hera was delighted and quickly looked at Athena. “Athena, can you please help? Go and ask Lorne to help us.”
Athena shook her head. “There’s really nothing between Lorne and me. It’s just like what Hades said. I just wanted to repay him for saving me! I’m afraid I can’t help!”
Just as the gods were feeling disappointed, Hades spoke again. “How do we know if we can do it if we don’t try? There’s no harm in it anyway!”
That’s right! Why not try? What if we really succeed?
The gods instantly stared at Athena, especially Zeus. “Athena, please do this! As an Olympian, I don’t think you’ll reject it, right?”
Zeus directly put her in a spot, which made Athena very unhappy. However, when she looked at the gods’ gazes, she could not bring herself to turn him down.
Anyway, whether the other party agreed or not had nothing to do with her. She was not as confident as the others, even though she had a good impression of Lorne from the bottom of her heart.
Zeus was very happy to see Athena nod. No matter what, Athena was his child. Once they had this relationship, even if they were enemies in the future, Lorne would not kill her, right?
“That’s great, Athena. I’ll go with you this time!”
Hera was also very happy and decided to go with Athena.
Lorne’s current residence was called at the Alps, which was a little far from Olympus.
Therefore, it would take them several days to get there.
…
After Lorne obtained the divine sword and traveled around, his eyes lit up when he caught sight of the Alps. He immediately planned to use this place as his residence.
The Alps were not like the other mountains he had seen before. They were all green, but they were unique. The endless mountains were filled with dazzling colors, the mountains and plains were as beautiful as a fairytale world.
The top of the mountain was covered in white snow. The mountain rocks were rugged and tall. In the middle of the mountain was a huge freshwater lake. The surrounding forest was covered with wildflowers. It was even more beautiful than a fairyland.
He fell in love with this place at first sight, so he decided to settle down.
Lorne built a castle on the lakeside. He planted the seeds of spirit trees and flowers that he had found when he traveled outside. He used his divine power to make the flowers flourish, making this place spring-like all year round.
At that moment, Athena flew over from the distance with Hera and Hera. Looking at this fairyland-like place, Hera was very shocked. Such a beautiful place could only be inhabited by someone with the identity of Lorne.
Athena detested the Olympian castle. Athens was like heaven and earth compared to this place. Only gods could live here.
Loen, who was in the castle, suddenly frowned.
“Huh, why are they here?”
Loen instantly found traces of the two.
Not long after, Athena and Hera arrived outside the castle.
Loen first nodded to Athena, then asked, “May I know why are the two of you here?”
After saying that, he plucked some of the spirit fruits on the mountain. Otherwise, if a guest came up, he would not be able to take out anything to entertain them. If word got out that he, Lorne, was stingy, that would not be good.
Hera pulled Athena to sit down, and then unceremoniously took a bite of the spiritual fruit. She then motioned for Athena to open her mouth, making the latter feel a little awkward.
After a while, Athena raised her head to look at Lorne, her pretty face slightly red. “Lorne, you should know that the Titans and the Olympians have started to fight again, right?”
Lorne did not think too much about it. He picked up a spiritual fruit and began to eat it. Then, he nodded and said, “Yes! What is it?”
“Then what do you think of this war?”
“I don’t have any opinions. As long as both of you don’t accidentally hurt the innocents, it’s fine!”
Lorne knew the purpose of their visit, but he still maintained his posture.
Athena’s expression changed slightly, and Hera could not help but ask, “Lorne, don’t you want to end this war as soon as possible?”
“Eh? Of course, I do! But this is not something I can decide!”
Lorne said with a surprised expression.
He knew what Hera meant, but he would not join in, at least not at the moment.
“Then…”
Hera’s expression changed, and she was about to speak when Lorne interrupted her.
“Hera, drop it. I will not join the war!”
Lorn rejected her very decisively..
