Chapter 207 We are not afraid of her
Imitos Mountains.
As far as the eye can see, there is a small valley with a radius of several hundred meters, filled with various brightly colored wild flowers.
Similarly, a small white marble house peacefully stood during this period.
Next to the house, there are several olive trees that are more than six or seven meters tall and can be hugged by one person.
…
in the room.
Ino gently wiped the sweat from Helena's forehead with a towel, and then turned his eyes to the basket full of flowers that the girl brought back.
"Don't be so anxious. I forgot to tell you. Not all flowers can be picked. Making flower cakes requires specific edible flowers."
"But they are all edible! I have eaten them all!" Helena looked at the basket seriously.
She had really eaten, not only flowers, but also olive fruits. She had tasted many things in the valley when she was hungry.
"Not anymore." Looking at those bright violet eyes, Ino sighed softly.
He knows better than anyone what it means behind a simple sentence of "I've eaten it all." People who have never experienced extreme hunger cannot imagine the feeling of being so hungry that they cannot sleep at night.
"Come! I'll teach you how to crush flower petals first."
…
The carriage of time always moves forward quietly.
Half a month passed suddenly.
In quiet years, people often don't notice the passage of time, nor the changes around them.
For example, there is a bakery called ‘Flowers’ in the city of Athens.
The shop is located on a small road not far from the temple.
To be honest, this is a privilege for anyone, but while enjoying the glory, there will also be a corresponding price.
For example, this bakery is destined not to have many people visiting it.
Although there is only a shop of less than 30 square meters, Ino can always feel the emptiness of being in the wilderness.
It is too quiet here. It is probably that the people of Athens support Athena, the goddess of war wisdom, from the bottom of their hearts. This also leads to the entire temple area enjoying the ultimate tranquility.
Even people passing by will subconsciously lower their footsteps.
…
"Hey!" A sigh.
If he could, he really wouldn't want to open a store here, or even choose to open a store at all.
He was destined to leave, leaving Helena alone would not be enough to support a store.
Not only does the store provide no benefit, it actually becomes a drag.
But sometimes, some things are beyond his control. Faced with the invitation from Athena, it is estimated that no one in Greece would dare to refuse.
Time passed gradually while thinking.
After a while, there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the house.
Ino looked up and saw a small figure appearing at the door of the store as promised.
"La la la, I'm sold out again!" Helena walked into the store with a happy face.
As if to prove that she was telling the truth, she put the small basket she carried on the table as soon as she entered the door. Also placed on the table was a small handful of various currencies.
"Athens is the busiest time before the festival. We need to do more. I sold out all the flower cakes before I even entered the market."
Helena pretended to be mature and analyzed. She was obviously only 7-8 years old, but she always seemed to be much precocious than her peers.
"Take a break first! We can't make enough money." Ino easily hugged Helena on the chair.
"As a teacher, my responsibility is not just to teach you skills, but also to have the quality to control them."
Looking into those jewel-like eyes, he knew very clearly that in this story of the gods, being quiet and not causing trouble was the most important factor for survival.
"Helena, we can't be greedy for too much, as long as we don't go hungry. Too much wealth will only bring disaster..."
Ino spoke carefully about the quality of life to Helena, but was interrupted by another soft and naughty voice.
"You should really go to Mount Olympus and speak these words, so that they also know the consequences of greed."
Outside the shop, the girl who had snatched the gold coins before appeared.
Ino stood up from the chair, bowed slightly and saluted. He was not surprised by Athena's appearance. He could always see her presence in the past half month.
But what really surprised him was that the goddess seemed a little idle. But no matter how busy he is, he is also one of the twelve main gods, so he will always have the necessary etiquette.
"You are exaggerating. The Holy Mountain of Olympus is not something that a mortal like me can set foot on."
Ino said in a humble tone.
Regarding the Greek gods, his attitude was always to say less and do less, and to keep a respectful distance. It is precisely because of this strategy that although I have met Athena several times in the past half month, it has been generally smooth and I have not been made difficult.
However……
Things seem a little different today.
Because he stood there for a long time, he didn't hear that iconic laugh.
"Are you scared?" This time, the soft voice was less naughty and more serious.
"Since you are afraid, you shouldn't stand up! You shouldn't choose the favored person so early, and sneak up to the Imitos Mountains to build a temple..."
It was obviously a light tone, but it sounded like thunder in the clear sky to Ino's ears, and he almost couldn't stand still.
His performance was all seen by Athena, who couldn't help but chuckled:
"It seems you really don't understand anything! I really don't know what to say to you."
A while passed.
"What do I need to know?" Ino raised his head and looked squarely at the girl in front of him for the first time.
When their eyes met, he could see the other person's appearance clearly. Although it was as beautiful as a work of art, it lacked some of the heroic power of war.
"This is not me!" As if she saw through his thoughts, the girl spoke again, but there was a hint of anger in her tone.
"You have divinity, but you don't have the corresponding authority. Otherwise, do you think Apollo would be so kind to give you gold coins?"
"After the festival, you can come to my temple. There are many things we need to talk about. For example, the Emydost Mountains are actually the territory of Athens..."
...
Maybe it was anger, or maybe it was something else.
Athena left after all, but when she left, she agreed to meet in the temple after the festival.
Looking at the other person's back gradually going away, Ino didn't come back to his senses for a long time, or didn't sort out his thoughts.
In fact, he could roughly understand the so-called divinity. The existence of the shelter is a miracle, not to mention other explanations.
Such as: the flame of hope, ice and snow magic, and even stories circulating in other worlds, black swan magicians, or the lantern bearers of Huttonmar. If you look closely at these things, they can also be considered as divinity in the Greek mythology system.
In general, divinity is not difficult to understand.
But what really bothers him is the so-called "temple".
How can a house built in the valley be a temple? Whose temple is a two-story building?
Moreover, from Athena's tone, this temple seems to be a problem. After all, people have clearly stated that the Emydost Mountains belong to the city of Athens.
Things developed too suddenly, and everything caught him off guard.
"We are not afraid of her. The valley is mine! I came here first!" Helena raised her little head and said seriously.
Ino chuckled and rubbed Helena's short hair. The little girl probably didn't know who she was facing just now.
She really thought it was like a market stall, whoever went first would own it.
