Tower Cat, Are You Afraid After Three Days and Three Nights? 2/2
At night, Samael sat before the flickering flames, throwing in firewood, and the campfire crackled and popped.
"Thank you for saving me today. Have some water."
A blonde beauty, dressed in a pristine white dress, gracefully approached from behind, handed over a water bag, and then sat down next to Samael. She rested her chin on her hand, her eyes filled with undisguised wonder and a sudden, intense passion.
The emotional expression of gods is often unrestrained and passionate, and ethical and moral principles, and even the ironclad rules of law, may not necessarily form an effective constraint.
Without a doubt, Helen had taken a liking to him.
Of course, this is just a result of desire stemming from physical appearance.
Just like in the old dark humor, the handsome hero saves the damsel in distress, leading to the plot of "I have nothing to repay you with but my body".
If you're too ugly, I'm sorry, but "in the next life, I'll be your cow or horse, repaying your kindness with kindness" is the story you'll tell.
Having undergone repeated mystical enhancements, Samael, Primordial Serpent embodying human sins, has acquired the attribute of "desire," and his appearance and allure are self-evident.
Coupled with his courageous act at a crucial moment, it's no surprise that Helen, who is obsessed with looks, fell for him.
After all, she dared to elope with Prince Paris of Troy, even after being married for several years.
However, Samael politely declined this flirtatious and unsolicited romantic encounter.
Not only Jason felt this way, but the Serpent himself also believed that Helen's situation was too complex for him to handle.
Besides, there are plenty of beautiful, XP-compatible, and unique options available, so why bother with this trouble?
Many beautiful things can be appreciated from afar; there's no need to pick them all and put them in your own vase.
After giving a few perfunctory replies, Samael noticed Helen, dressed in a thin long dress, rubbing her hands together, her shoulders trembling slightly, clearly unable to bear the cold.
Little sister, this is a Warcraft raid, not a school trip. Can you be a little more serious?
It's one thing if you love to look good and wear this long dress, but even if you want to show off your charm, there's no need to wear it out to stay up all night, is there?
Samael shook his head helplessly at the sight of this young girl who couldn't distinguish between what was important and what wasn't, but considering that Leonidas had accumulated a lot of goodwill for Sparta, he still got up and brought a blanket from the tent, handing it to the Sparta princess.
Helen smiled gratefully, her face beaming.
As soon as the serpent sat down, a warm, delicate body pressed against its chest. The woman's blinking eyes seemed to be about to overflow with tears, and her pretty face, flushed with a hint of shyness, looked sweet and alluring.
"It's cold at night, let's warm up together."
I said, are you really not afraid of things going wrong?
Samael inwardly grumbled, but as his skin touched hers, a surge of heat rose from his lower abdomen, causing his heart to beat faster and his throat to go dry.
However, just as the shadows of the two heads were about to overlap, the ancient snake's eyes twitched, and he raised his hand to pat Helen's shoulder, chuckling slightly.
"It seems one blanket isn't enough. You can use this one first, and I'll find another one."
Samael pondered for a moment, then patiently wrapped Helen in a blanket before getting up and leaving.
Under the flickering flames, the Sparta princess raised her hand and touched her luscious lips, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Then, she gently raised the corners of her lips, bent her knees, and gazed at the campfire in a daze.
At the same time, Samael, who had reached the edge of the tent, reached up and unbuttoned his clothes, pulling out a necklace made of gold thread from around his neck.
The heart-shaped Ruby at the end glowed faintly and warmly in the darkness.
The smile on the ancient snake's face froze instantly, and its brows darkened.
The Aphrodite's Authority!
It really is this thing!
The Holy Relic that woman Ishtar gave me actually came in handy; it's rare that she didn't do anything to make things worse.
After muttering a few words to the heart-shaped Ruby necklace, Samael's eyes flickered, his brows furrowed, and doubts clouded his mind.
If he remembers correctly, the twin swordsman Polux, the sister of the first twin swordsman, and the beautiful Helen were the daughters of Zeus, the king of the gods, and the Spartan queen, Leda, who had an affair by the lake.
Without a doubt, the current Spartan King is another one who has taken over the mantle.
Logically speaking, as a second-generation Divine Kin, Helen should not possess the Aphrodite's Authority, even if she only inherited the beauty of her human mother.
After all, Zeus was the sky god who wielded thunder and lightning, so their genes simply don't match.
Look, the younger sister of the Twin Swordsmen Pollux, is clearly a powerful figure. She possesses the divine power to resonate with the Star Projections in the sky and is said to be a renowned boxer in Greece.
However, the ancient serpent thought for a moment and then seemed to be deep in thought.
In the Helen, Helen was not only beautiful but also a beloved princess of Sparta. After the twins died young and were killed in the process of ascending into the sky, their bodies were assimilated into the stars, and the throne of Sparta remained vacant for a long time.
Therefore, suitors of the time, either coveting Helen's beauty or coveting the power of Sparta, flocked to her in an endless stream.
Surrounded by a group of demigods at his doorstep, the Sparta King was terrified. He felt that he could not offend any country's hero, so he heeded the advice of his suitor, Odysseus.
That is, "The decision to marry Helen was made by tossing a ring, and all suitors were to swear that they would never take up arms against Helen's husband and would do their utmost to help him when he needed assistance."
As a result, Menelaus, the brother of King Agamemnon, seized the ring and successfully married Helen.
Because of the conditions of the marriage agreement, the Mycenae kingdom, where the two brothers lived, suddenly became an ally of all the Greek states.
Therefore, after Helen eloped with the Trojan prince, Agamemnon was able to mobilize the entire Greek city-states and military forces as an ally to attack Troy.
Even Achilles, Odysseus, Ajax the Elder and Younger, and other elite generals had to obey Agamemnon's orders.
Whoever possesses Helen possesses the strongest Sparta warrior, and can use the oath of marriage to subdue all the heroes of Greece.
This is the origin of Helen's title as "Greece's most beautiful woman".
He once thought so too.
But now it seems that the truth may be quite the opposite.
There's a saying...
Men conquer women by conquering the world, while women conquer the world by conquering men.
From another perspective, Helen became the key that connected the Greek city-states.
If I'm not mistaken, then Helen must have been tampered with.
Tsk, the Aphrodite's Authority...
Samael glanced at the hazy outline of the Sacred Mountain in the shadows, shook his head slightly, and looked somewhat gloating.
It seems that the Mount Olympus aren't necessarily so honest.
Perhaps this is an opportunity.
Afterwards, Samael estimated that he had stayed long enough, so he buried his head in thought as he walked toward the tent, preparing to grab a blanket and head back.
However, by chance, the ancient serpent and Atalanta was walking towards him after seeing him, bumped into each other.
"Boss, it's not time for your shift to change yet, what brings you here?"
The figures separated, Samael rubbed his head, asking in confusion.
"I couldn't sleep, so I came out to take a look."
Atalanta answered casually, her emerald eyes bright and gleaming, revealing the vigorous energy of a feline at night.
"Oh, by the way, this necklace is yours, isn't it?"
Then, the Huntress spread her palms out, revealing a heart-shaped Ruby that radiated a mesmerizing color.
Hiss...
Samael stared blankly at the Ruby that was becoming dull, gasped, and a legend related to Atalanta flashed through his mind.
Unbelievable... three days and three nights?
I'm so excited... cough cough, what should I do if I'm worried?
