Chapter 701: Chapter 125 Lie Down, Your Time Starts Now_3 Chapter 701: Chapter 125 Lie Down, Your Time Starts Now_3 Not bad at all.
But immediately, the Goddess of Discord’s face blossomed with even thicker malice.
Even better, more fun to be had!
Just as Eris was about to continue her game, multiple thunderbolts exploded in the distance, lighting up Olympus among the stars.
Feeling the Divine Will within the thunderbolts, Eris grudgingly retracted her arm, abandoning her toys on the sea surface, and took flight toward the depths of the starry sky.
With the departure of the Goddess of Discord, the storm raging above the Sea of Okeanos gradually subsided.
Threads of bright light pierced the still unrestful, gloomy storm, illuminating the Argo, reflecting the azure sea, and bringing long-missed light and warmth.
At last, we’re out of that damned place.
Captain Jason in the cabin relaxed his tense nerves a little and sprawled over the control panel like a boneless snake.
And in the ship’s hold, the last tremor of sound dissolved into the silvery moonlight, faintly carrying the relief of surviving a calamity.
We made it through at last.
“Elegant notes bring us joy and wisdom, accompanying us safely on our sea voyage.
Storms cannot be our foes, the ocean is ours to gallop across.
Divine trials make a hero taste life’s hardships as sweet as honey.
Our courage shines like the sun and moon above all.
Our glory, remembered by thousands!”
At the same time, a melodic singing voice wafted over.
On the moonlit deck, the genius musician Orpheus sat beside the ship’s side, strumming his lyre and singing with gusto.
Hearing the hymn, the Argo Heroes emerged from their cabins one after another, laughing and humming along with Orpheus’s rhythm, mocking nature’s threat with pride and confidence.
And after enduring the storm’s baptism, what should be done next?
Of course, celebration and feasting!
“Everyone, tonight the food is plentiful, and drinks are on the house!”
The deity in charge of the feast announced loudly as he stepped onto the deck, offering his home-brewed fine wine.
Yet, one of his hands was behind his back, supporting his spine in an odd posture.
But the heroes, who believed in enjoying the moment, didn’t notice this, and they cheered excitedly for the upcoming feast, their fatigue from battling the storm and waves swept away just as swiftly.
Amidst the jovial atmosphere, everyone left the tasks of repairing the ship and sorting out supplies to the ever-diligent Dragon Tooth Soldiers and automatons, and began preparing for the celebration of overcoming the natural disaster with effervescing enthusiasm.
Seeing the lively banquet atmosphere heating up, Luo En nodded in satisfaction and decided it was time to gracefully exit the stage.
But just as he turned to head back to his room, a heavy hand clapped onto his shoulder.
“Why the hurry? Let’s drink heartily together!”
Cainis, who had come up close, invited loudly while habitually thumping Luo En’s shoulder several times to express his enthusiasm.
However, the deity in charge of the feast stood frozen on the spot as if struck by lightning, his facial expression contorting.
Atalanta, seeing this, couldn’t help but ask with concern,
“Teacher, what’s wrong with you?”
“My back, my back is out…”
Luo En’s voice was hoarse, his back hunched, like an old man about to breathe his last.
His back went out? Was it because the storm was too severe?
But since when were deities’ bodies so frail? That shouldn’t be right…
Atalanta’s mind was filled with big question marks, but out of respect for her teacher, she kindly suggested,
“Shall Medea and I help you back to your room to rest?”
Upon hearing this, Luo En abruptly straightened his creaking back and immediately regained his vigor.
“I’m perfectly fine! Drink, let’s drink!”
Saying so, he shrugged off Atalanta’s support and grabbed the inviting Cainis to sit down together for a round of heavy drinking.
It was already deep into the night.
The ship was abundant with food, wine fragrance wafting through the air, the heroes gathering in groups to feast to their hearts’ content, singing joyously, savoring life and the journey.
Meanwhile, on the calm and expansive sea surface, the bright light of the silver moon mirrored against the boundless ocean waves, outlining a majestic silhouette beneath the water.
Feeling something, Luo En turned his head to look, seeing that familiar architectural style, he raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise appearing on his face.
“The Sea God Temple? How did it get here?”
“It must be newly built, far more modest than before.”
Venus said with schadenfreude as she looked down towards the underwater structure from the bow.
Luo En’s eyes sparkled, and after gulping down the wine in his cup, he suggested to Venus behind him,
“Shall we take a look?”
Venus’s eyes lit up with excitement, cracking her knuckles.
Having been tricked by Poseidon once, she clearly relished the opportunity to kick someone when they’re down and vent her own frustrations.
Luo En rolled his eyes at Venus, who was posturing like a delinquent behind him, and snorted in annoyance,
“What fight? It’s a family visit!”
Then, Luo En, pulling a confused Venus along, melded into the shadows and swam towards the hidden Sea God Temple.
