Looking at the tearful Hers, Luo En felt a pang of guilt and spoke reluctantly.
"How about this, you owe a favor, and when I need it, help once. Is that feasible?"
"Deal!"
As soon as Luo En finished speaking, Hers quickly grasped his hand, centing the compensation plan.
At that mont, there wasn't a trace of the earlier sobbing on the face of the god of comrce.
Damn, I'm going to lose out...
Luo En cursed under his breath, then let out a frustrated hum.
"You really know how to do business, a few tears and you make change my words. I almost sacrificed one of my incarnations to clean up your ss..."
Hearing this, Hers gave an embarrassed smile, not denying his little trick of feigning weakness and selling misery.
In fact, among the four divine artifacts he had offered earlier, aside from the winged shoes which were slightly more valuable, the rest were ordinary items, far from causing him to wail and bemoan his loss.
What he was guarding against was this person here continuing to ask for more, draining him completely.
Having achieved his aim and considering future cooperation, Hers tactfully offered a way out.
"Here's what I'll do, I can give you a piece of information for free. If there's anything you want to know, ask now."
"Actually, there is..."
Luo En's eyes flashed as he asked in a deep voice.
"This na 'Thoth', where did it co from?"
In the eyes of the scholars and alchemists from the Hers Trisgistus Sector, the God of Speed Hers, God of ssengers Hers, and God of Wisdom Thoth, these three divinities mix to form the "Thrice Greatest Hers."
He possesses these three aspects and knows the universe's triple wisdom—alchemy, astrology, and magic.
But logically, the na Thoth shouldn't appear here, nor should it be associated with Hers, as Thoth is a deity from Ancient Egypt.
At this point, Hers's eyelids twitched, and his face showed a rare difficulty.
"Can we not talk about it?"
"..."
"Fine, it's no harm telling you."
Considering that his leverage was still in the other's hands, Hers sighed helplessly and pondered deeply.
"Actually, this na should co from another divine era, specifically from another world."
Although Luo En already had suspicions in his mind, he pretended to be clueless to gain more information, and questioned further with a frown.
"Another divine era? Are you suggesting that besides our divine era, there are other divine eras?"
Hers nodded, thoughtfully choosing his words, and began to explain eloquently.
"True Chaos is boundless, and naturally, it can nurture more than one world. If Chaos is compared to a womb, then our world is just one of the eggs it has birthed. As our world develops, it will gradually cut off sustenance from Chaos, showing its true and stable nature and growing into an independent entity. Even in the distant future, our world might et and interact with its 'brothers and sisters' to create a brand new world."
"Why not now?"
"Because of the Sea of Chaos."
Hers shrugged his shoulders, unfolded a nautical map on the table, and further explained his discovery to Luo En.
"You should know, our world is surrounded by the Sea of Okeanos, beyond which lies the boundless Sea of Chaos, which greatly suppresses our divine authority. So whether it be the Chief Gods or the Divine Kings, it's very difficult to cross this barrier, and naturally, we tend to think we are the center of the world."
"But in reality, the entire Chaos sea area might be floating with more than one divine era world, and we are but one among them."
"What's the reason?" Luo En showed a skeptical attitude.
"Rember the question you just asked?" Hers wrote down Thoth's na on the parchnt in strange characters, and spoke softly, "This is what I heard from the Sea of Chaos. Although no one has crossed that forbidden zone, the wind is free and unbridled, bringing so ssages not from this divine era."
Then, Hers looked at the sowhat cryptic characters on the parchnt with so annoyance.
"Unfortunately, all I got were fragnted pieces of information. After a long ti, I managed to piece together the na 'Thoth' and learned that he is a deity of wisdom from another divine era."
"So, you just decided to use it?"
Luo En looked at Hers with an amused gaze.
"Just trying it out..." Hers spoke with a sheepish laugh, his eyes flickering.
After all, possessing divine authority of wisdom is very powerful in Greece.
Luo En naturally understood the other's cunning, but he didn't expose it.
Hers's usurpation of Thoth's na entailed pilfering his followers and divine authority. The Egyptian God of Wisdom, who could not possibly cross the Sea of Chaos to claim royalties in Greece, left Luo En with no need to play the villain.
Moreover, he was curious.
Could Zeus, as the Divine King of the Greek divine era, be immune to the power of foreign deities?
Just then, a perfect specin was right in front of him.
With this thought, Luo En's gaze toward Hers grew warr.
However, the more amiable soone appeared, the more cautious Hers beca, unconsciously clutching his chest and shifting backward.
"If there's nothing else, I won't disturb you further."
"Sure, see you around. If you encounter any trouble in the process of retrieving the Philosopher's Stone, have soone from the Academy of Athens send a ssage."
Luo En smiled and waved his hand, not stopping him.
Seeing the affable attitude across the table, Hers relaxed slightly. Before leaving, he looked at this earthly shepherd and after so thought, spoke in a serious tone.
"I'll give you another piece of information for free. Thessaly seems to be having so issues, even more bustling than Arcadia now. If you're interested, you might want to take a look."
Watching Hers transform into a gust of wind to escape, Luo En furrowed his brows.
Thessaly?
Just as Luo En was deep in thought, the twin brothers returned and spoke seriously as they entered.
"We just received a divine ssage from Lord Apollo, we might need to take a trip to Thessaly!"
