The Moon Goddess's Gaze, the Goddess of Wisdom's Blessing

The eternally cold and desolate Moon Palace is the residence of Artemis.

Of course, the Moon Palace is not actually on the actual surface of the moon. The star gods on the ground mostly represent the 'light' of the stars that have fallen into reality, which is the concept they represent.

Therefore, Artemis's palace stands atop the light and shadow cast by the moon.

She finally stood atop it, looking down upon the world.

It was as if it were searching for something.

This day, this moment, is no different.

"There seems to be a lot of commotion during the day... In this world, it's a pity there's no moon during the day, so I can't see it." In the palace carved like white jade, the goddess with silver hair cascading down her back opened her eyes with slightly trembling eyelashes.

A voluptuous and beautiful figure lay sprawled in a quiet, deserted space. From the outside, Artemis, Goddess of the Moon, appeared to be just a young girl with a graceful figure. She had long, white hair, a delicate face, and a slender neck that led down to surging waves of flesh. Patches of fair skin were revealed beneath a thin white veil, and her slightly bent legs moved with her movements like a tide.

She looked at the mortals with a hint of regret. "Should we go ask Apollo? Hmm... let's see what Athena is up to first."

Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting; Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and War; and Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth and Home, are the only three Virgin Goddess among the Olympian Gods. They are of equal status, have similar attributes, and have always had a very good relationship.

Therefore, Artemis often gazes at her friends on Earth from the moon.

Before gazing out, she glanced at her palace as usual. It remained silent. Ever since the saint Enkidu, who came from Uruk, fell asleep in Arcadia Paradise, no one had visited this place for a long time.

"Teacher Enkidu... I still don't quite understand."

Thinking of that gentle, verdant figure, Artemis felt a pang of sadness, but she quickly composed herself and turned her gaze to the mortal realm.

The Aegean Sea still roars with the tides, and the Athenian city-state, nestled by the sea, remains brightly lit and bustling as ever.

Athena tilted Artemis head, then in the next instant, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

The falling moonlight clearly illuminated Athena's temple, and even more so the shadows within, draped in linen robes.

He was a young man with a light and handsome appearance.

That is...

"Teacher Enkidu mentioned, the Uruk Sage?" The Moon Goddess parted her lips, somewhat surprised.

As I listened to my teacher's narration, Ichizaki already had a very clear image of this sage in her mind.

The image of the moon goddess that remained in my heart has finally become a reality.

Was that really a sage?

Artemis narrowed her eyes; she felt she needed to confirm it again.

"I apologize for keeping Lord Rovi waiting." A clear voice rang out in the Temple of Athena in the Athenian city-state.

Rovi withdrew his gaze from the surging Aegean Sea and turned his eyes to look at the figure that emerged from the 'idol'.

Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and War, remains as radiant as ever. Her silver hair flows like water, and a long, white dress conceals her slender figure. Her lips are soft and moist, her waist is delicate, and her hips sway gently with each step she takes.

She bowed gracefully and said to Rovi, "Thank you for your help today."

"It's just a simple transaction." Rovi shook his head and said, "But the affair is over, so why did you invite me here?"

Athena's crimson eyes swept over Rovi before her, and she suddenly smiled.

"Sage Rovi, why not stay in Athens?" She extended an invitation to Rovi: "I admire your wisdom, and I assure you, as one of the twelve Mount Olympus gods, that if you stay in Athens, this city will be both mine and yours."

The Goddess of Wisdom admires those who possess wisdom.

I admire wise men who are both brave and skilled in martial arts.

Therefore, Athena did not mind sharing her glory in the human world with him.

"Is this just an invitation?" Rovi shook his head. The reason he stayed was simply to see what other tricks this Goddess of Wisdom wanted to play—if he could also find an opportunity to provoke other gods, that would be even better.

However, it seems that Athena only wants to recruit him into Athens.

"In the past, I was an advisor to the King of Uruk. I have stayed in one place for a long time, but now, I just want to travel around."

Rovi refused. "It's good enough to be a Greek hero."

Athena's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Although she was mentally prepared for such a response, she still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Alright, there's no point in forcing it." Athena understood the importance of making choices. "Then I can only wish you a smooth journey..."

"By the way, those three young girls seem to like you quite a bit. Are you really not considering staying?"

Rovi blinked, somewhat taken aback...

Athena, however, continued, "On another note, those three should also be related to you—or rather, have some connection with your friends."

A friend? Could it be...?

"Little En Enkidu ...?" Rovi immediately realized.

"That's right, a saint from Uruk more than a thousand years ago."

Little En, you've come to Greece too?

Rovi, who witnessed the end of Uruk from the Sea of Reality and Illusion, knew that Gilgamesh, in his later years, would expand the borders of the nation they had built with their own hands to the edge of the Aegean Sea, thus influencing countless city-states.

But he didn't know that Enkidu, who had left the moment he fell into the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, had also come to Greece.

Not only did they come, but they also seem to have done a lot of things.

"One of the Three Kings of Uruk, the weapon created by the gods, the Saint Enkidu."

"She arrived hundreds of years after the King of Gold sent the Sage, and after Prometheus stole Heavenly Fire from the gods and ushered in the Heroic Age."

"At that time, Stheno, Euryale, Medusa were my Subordinate God."

"At that time, I was at odds with Poseidon, and we almost went to war, but the three of them had a very good relationship with Poseidon."

"So..."

"So you almost wanted to drive them away, but Enkidu stopped you when he passed by, right?" Rovi suddenly realized. Although he hadn't thought about it carefully before, he had actually felt something was off and finally understood.

According to later mythology, after Medusa turned into a monster, she was defeated by the demigod hero Perseus.

Perseus... is the ancestor of Heracles.

Although the relationships in Greece were chaotic, they were always orderly in terms of time; at least Perseus existed several decades earlier than Heracles.

By this time, Heracles had grown up, Medusa, whom Perseus had defeated, should have been quite old by now.

But if the change was caused by Enkidu, then it makes sense.

Medusa's previous kindness towards herself... might also be related to this.

I just wonder if the legend of the Gorgon Sisters will continue in later generations? Or will only the Three Goddesses under Athena's command remain to be passed down?

But regardless—it's a pity we missed an opportunity to court disaster...

It's just that we can see the tragedy will never happen again.

It's still a nice view.

"Congratulations," he said. "You've lost one bad reputation."

This guy still speaks so bluntly.

Athena smiled helplessly, "It seems there's still no way to keep you here."

"If you want to find the Forest Sage, go to the Arcadia's Paradise."

"It is said that she finally fell asleep there, accompanied by the Artemis, Goddess of the Moon."

Arcadia?

Isn't it just the Peleon Cave?

Luo Wei realized that he had just brushed past Little En. No, that's not quite accurate. Arcadia is a region, a vast area, so it's normal that he didn't sense her... Rovi noted Athena's words.

Suddenly, the Goddess of Wisdom raised her exquisite face.

"Well then, let me give you one last sincere blessing!"

Moonlight streamed through the window, and a light veil fluttered in the breeze. The fragrance of a goddess wafted through the air, bringing waves of sweet scent.

The goddess raised her fingertips and placed them on Rovi's lips, her soft fingertips tracing across his face.

She smiled softly, her lips bright red, and her words were sincere and radiant:

"Blessed in the name of Athena..."

As the voice rang out, sincere blessings overshadowed the previous playful protectiveness.

May Wisdom Always Shine Upon Your Body.

May your wisdom be as clear as a mirror, untouched by the decay of time.
