Chapter 719: Chapter 133: Waiting, and Hoping Chapter 719: Chapter 133: Waiting, and Hoping Beneath the bright moonlight, Luo En embraced the rushing Helen in his arms.
Looking at her slender figure and thinking about everything he had seen and heard in Sparta on the way, he couldn’t help but feel so pity for this girl who once followed him around carefree,
“It is I, I have returned. You must have had a tough ti all these years?”
Hearing the warm inquiry from the one she admired, Helen’s repressed emotions burst out like a breached dam, clinging tightly to Luo En’s waist with her head buried in his chest, sobbing softly.
Luo En gently patted Helen’s back, repeatedly whispering comfort,
“It’s okay now, it’s okay…”
Not knowing how much ti had passed, Helen, who had indulged in that warm embrace for a while, finally rembered her brothers standing aside and reluctantly got up, her slightly flushed face showing a rare embarrassnt and shyness, courteously coughing to greet.
“Brother Castor, Brother Polux, you’ve co back too…”
Hearing that “too,” the already disenheartened Twins almost choked from irritation.
...
So, romantic brother is the real deal, and they are just add-ons as her real brothers?
However, seeing their sister’s pitiable state, the brothers lost their desire to complain and seriously began to address the matter:
“Helen, what happened to our father and mother?”
“I’m not sure…”
Helen shook her head, her expression turning dull.
“Not long after you left, our father and mother fell ill, their condition worsening day by day. I’ve called many physicians and scholars to diagnose them, but none could determine the cause. Later, Lord Apollo even descended personally to bless them, but to no avail…”
“Even the Chief God’s blessing was of no use?”
“Yes, everything seed as if it was fated, unstoppable by anyone…”
Helen continued, a deep sadness manifesting on her face.
With the parents deceased, her sister married far away, and her brothers not by her side, that period was her most torturous.
As Luo En listened to the siblings’ conversation, a look of surprise erged on his face.
That shouldn’t be the case, as Apollo held partial authority over dical and healing powers, his blessing should theoretically be the nesis of illness.
Unless there was a hidden truth behind the death of the Spartan King and queen…
Luo En’s gaze flickered, reminded by Helen’s sigh of resignation.
—Fated?
Considering this, he beca stern, looking intently at Helen:
“Afterwards? Was there any reaction from War God Mountain?”
“I’m not sure…”
Helen shook her head, adding seriously.
“Because not long after that, they all disappeared, overnight!”
Luo En nodded slightly, continuing to probe:
“Then, did they leave you any ssage?”
“Yes! On the eve of the gods’ disappearance, an owl flew from War God Mountain and brought a spoken ssage.”
“What was it?”
Helen took a deep breath, slowly exhaling the ssage that seed both a reminder and prophecy:
“[Wait], and keep [hope]…”
Luo En, after listening, closed his eyes to ponder for a mont, sothing dawning on him.
Now, he sowhat understood why the gods had vanished.
There was so danger brewing in Greece, and the death of both the Spartan King and queen served as an on.
The people of War God Mountain likely had found so clues and were unable to confront it, thus resorting to a risk-averse strategy.
As Sparta was the first place where trouble arose, and Helen had the most contact with the Spartan King and queen, they dared not take Helen with them, only leaving her with a vague prophecy as a contingency.
—Wait, and keep [hope]?
Luo En lowered his eyes toward his palm, having realized the answer.
Without a doubt, he was the [hope] the gods and Helen were waiting for…
Before he left, War God Mountain boasted the presence of eleven Chief Gods, Athena, Protheus, Tethys—three wise counselors, and countless Divine Monsters, Deities, and Heroes… Yet this illustrious assembly chose not to resist, but rather to montarily withdraw.
Moreover, that retreat had ant two hundred years of total silence…
From this glimpse, one can guess its scope.
The crisis fernting in Greece must clearly have been formidable enough to terrify even the gods.
—Zeus?
Luo En pondered, then shook his head, dismissing that answer.
re His Majesty the King of Gods couldn’t have caused an entire War God Mountain to back away significantly—there must be another reason!
After much thought, due to insufficient information, Luo En could only sigh helplessly, lifting his head to look at Helen:
“Then, did they leave you any way to contact them?”
Helen shook her head, her face equally helpless:
“No, after the gods disappeared, the Temples and the Priests in various city-states perford countless sacrifices and calls, but none received any response. Even the Divine Blood Heroes accompanying them vanished. It’s as if they truly evaporated from this World.”
To verify the truth, Luo En also tried using various diums from the Magic Circle Diagram to establish the Resonance Technique, but the other end showed no reaction, and his signals disappeared like stones sinking into the sea.
—To single-handedly investigate the real crisis facing Greece without any support.
—And to find your traces without causing any disturbance…
Sister Ya, you really posed a difficult problem for .
Luo En rubbed his slightly aching temples, then his gaze returned to Helen.
