Chapter 169: Cao Ze's Road to Success
Loen's face changed, and he immediately spoke to prove himself.
"Lord Apollo, I think you misunderstood. We came to visit you in accordance with the wishes of Lord Artemis, and we have absolutely no other intentions."
"So, it was not a coincidence just now, you have arrived a long time ago?"
Apollo instantly caught the loophole in the words, looked at the Muses on the side grimly, and roared angrily.
"Say! Did you attract these giants?! Do you want me to die in the hands of the Gigantes giants?"
Hearing such heart-piercing words, the Muses changed their faces, and the endless grievances boiled in their hearts.
God has mercy on them, they just came to see this old master on the way under the guise of traveling in the lower world, and they didn't intend to meet.
God knows that they happened to encounter the Gigantes giants making trouble, and fortunately they dragged their old master Apollo into it.
Moreover, they are just a group of Muses who love literature and poetry. When will they be able to command the Gigantes giants to kill their old masters and usurp the throne?
At this time, Lorne couldn't help but stand up and speak for the Muses beside him.
"Lord Apollo, you can doubt me, but please don't impose innocent charges on them!"
After these words, Apollo's brain, which was dominated by anger, calmed down a bit. He looked at Lorne in front of him grimly and spoke faintly.
"You are right. They didn't have the courage before. The reason they dare to do these extraordinary things now is all because of your instigation, right?"
"Lord Apollo, please be careful with your words!"
As the eldest sister, Calliope couldn't help but raise her voice and groaned solemnly.
"Although you have suffered and been exiled to the lower world, even if you are not here, we have always adhered to our duties and responsibilities, and never had any idea of doing anything bad to you!"
Then, the Muse in charge of the heroic epic raised her hand and pointed at Lorne beside her, took a deep breath, and shouted angrily.
"And Lord Dionysus is even more impossible, he just saved you with his own hands! And before us!" Seeing that his Muses actually protected outsiders, Apollo was furious. "Stop pretending here! Isn't the reason he came here to see me in such a miserable state?" "Lord Apollo, if you think so, then I have nothing to say..." Lorne sighed and raised his hands with a dull look. "Well, I will leave you now and take off the responsibility of guardianship. I will explain to Lord Artemis in person." The nine Muses heard this, and their hearts were suddenly tightened. They subconsciously wanted to speak, but Lorne raised his hand to stop them. The Dionysus on the field took a deep breath and gave a serious advice in the most sincere tone. "But these nine Muses are innocent! From now on, please treat your subordinates well and don't impose unwarranted suspicion on them!" However, the preaching tone once again stepped on Apollo's minefield, making the arrogant God of Light even more angry. "Shut up! It's not your turn to teach me! Get out of here!" Lorne shrugged helplessly, turned his head and looked at the nine Muses around him, trying to squeeze out a smile from his face, and solemnly instructed. "Thessaly has just experienced the rebellion of the Gegantes giants. It's better for you to stay. The safety of Lord Apollo can be guaranteed. But don't cause a rift between you because of my affairs." "Have you said enough? Get out of here!" Hearing that the fact that he was in a bad situation was mentioned again and again, Apollo angrily scolded. After the explanation, Lorne did not stay any longer, and turned around and walked towards the mountain road behind the dense forest. As the figure gradually walked away, Calliope turned around, looked at the main god in front of her, and spoke seriously.
"Lord Apollo, you shouldn't treat Lord Dionysus like this."
Hearing this, Apollo, who had just suppressed his anger, exploded again, and a gloomy sneer appeared on his handsome face.
"What? Even you want to teach me how to do things?"
"No, just a piece of advice."
Calliope shook her head, then "clicked" and broke the wax plate with light patterns in her hand, threw it down expressionlessly, and spoke contemptuously.
"From now on, please forgive me for not being able to continue to serve you - a despicable person who slanders heroes!"
"Calliope, you!"
Looking at the fragmented symbol of the god at his feet and hearing the undisguised contempt, Apollo's face changed drastically, and he trembled with anger.
However, before he finished speaking, a laurel crown was also thrown at his feet.
"Me too."
Clio, who was in charge of history, clapped his hands, picked up the remaining scroll and turned around.
"And me!"
"Count me in!"
"Me too..."
Then, as if triggering a chain reaction, Euterpe dropped her flower basket, Terpsichore abandoned her ivy, Erato discarded her music sheet, Melpomene let go of her dagger, and Thalia gave up her tambourine...
Each Muse left behind the symbols related to the gods Apollo and discarded them like old shoes.
Afterwards, without exception, they turned around and left, walking quickly towards the distant mountain path, as if trying to keep up with someone.
Seeing the former gods finish cutting off with him one by one, Apollo's handsome face turned from blue to purple, from purple to black, and finally became distorted with anger. He madly trampled on the fragmented symbols on the ground, and burst into a hysterical roar.
"Get out! Get out!"
At the same time, a figure walking on the mountain road heard the loud roar, stopped leisurely, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
Question--When a nobleman who is used to being high and mighty falls from the clouds for some reason, and the little character he used to look down on and hate comes to him with a group of beautiful subordinates he used to order around, and lends a hand to him when he is at his most desperate, and the process happens to be seen by his subordinates, how will he feel?
Answer--His pitiful self-esteem must be very painful, right?
In addition, the imbalance of mentality will cause ordinary goodwill to be misinterpreted, and any slight disturbance will be magnified into suspicion and betrayal in his eyes.
As we all know, the strongest defense is often broken from the inside.
The same is true for poaching.
The compilation of [Sacred Words] and [Theogony] has not yet been completed, and the group of Muses will naturally not miss this opportunity to leave a poem that will be passed down through the ages.
Even if they are goddesses, they cannot get rid of the pursuit and problems of literary youth.
Compared with the supporting roles who can only accompany the God of Light, they have a stage here where they can realize their self-worth.
After three years of boiling frogs in warm water, and the appetite of [Sacred Words] and [Theogony], it is self-evident who is more attractive.
Then next, he only needs to take the Muses to turn around in front of Apollo who is serving a sentence in Thessaly, tell some things and problems truthfully, and figure out the mentality of the God of Light. Then some people will automatically complete all the brain supplements, outline a series of targeting and conspiracies, and vent all the grievances and dissatisfaction on the object they are unhappy with.
It doesn't matter, I can take the blame, even to the end, and even those suspected Muses and themselves will take it together.
Apollo may feel that some things are not handled properly, but even if it is wrong, he will not bow his head.
The God of Light is too arrogant. This is a fatal weakness in his character. Whether he sees it clearly or not, he will fall into the trap.
So, Lord Apollo, you are my follower and I will take care of you, don't worry.
At this moment, just as someone expected, the Muses appeared at the intersection one after another, and ran quickly forward, catching up with him.
"Lord Dionysus, wait, we will go with you!"
"Apollo is too much!"
"We won't do it! Whoever wants to serve can serve!"
"That's right!"
After hearing the Muses chattering about what happened just now, Loen was a little surprised at the determination of these literary goddesses.
It must be said that these Muses are really crazy in their bones, no wonder they are attributed to the apostles of Dionysus in some mythological genealogies.
But then again, daring to open up directly to Apollo and turn against his own main god as a follower, this is not a small hidden danger.
Loen pondered for a moment, looked at the Muses around him, showed his worried side, and asked with concern.
"What are you going to do? Will you be okay now that things have turned out like this?"
"Don't worry, Apollo went too far. Even if the Father God wants to blame us, it can't be blamed on us. At worst, we can go to the Temple of Memory and ask the Mother God to make the decision!"
As the eldest sister, Calliope straightened her chest and responded in a deep voice. The Muses around her echoed her.
But Loen still caught a trace of uneasiness in their eyes, so he smiled warmly and spoke solemnly.
"I'll go with you!"
Hearing the solemn promise, a warmth flowed in the hearts of the Muses, completely melting the fear of the future after making the choice, and a strong attachment and touch rose in their hearts.
Lord Dionysus is really a person worthy of trust and entrustment.
