Chapter 60: The Fall of Petersenburg

Athena and Medusa were tired of being used as puppets and tools by their fathers.

They are also fed up with the endless competition of the divine realm.

They want a more ordinary life.

To get the ordinary and happy life they dream of. They must first disappear and make everyone forget about them.

If they simply hid, their looks, strength, and even smell, which were already known to everyone, would sooner or later be perceived.

So they made up a story about ugliness and curses. and falsified the illusion that the two were dead.

However, to their dismay, they are too famous and too popular.

So even if their plan succeeded, neither God nor man would forget them.

What's even more outrageous is that there are more and more legends about them.

Legends about Medusa having snake hair and petrified gazes were also born.

In fact, after they faked their deaths, their "popularity" increased.

But at least there are some things that are basically true in the legends. That's the character of the two sisters.

Athena is indeed cheerful and combative, and she is quite aggressive.

Medusa, on the other hand, is more introverted, which is one of the reasons why she is easily taken advantage of.

But despite their centuries-long hiding, they have never changed their girlish hearts. They crave ordinary happiness and love.

So they sometimes borrow the bodies of those who have died tragically and thus feel everything they desire.

They didn't kill Rost's wife and daughter. In fact, Rost's daughter, wife, and son died in the sudden storm.

And Athena and Medusa, in order to blend in with his life, erased the memory of Rost watching his family die.

All Rost remembers was that he had taken his family to a cave where he had taken shelter from a storm.

But he did not remember that his wife and children were stoned to death by falling stones from the mountain.

But Medusa made a "small" mistake.

She remembered to make the boy grow taller, but she forgot to let her pretending daughter grow up.

And the careless Athena didn't think of it at all.

It is precisely because of this that after Rost discovered the anomaly, there was something that followed.

After Athena loses the life she dreams of, she can't explain it to Rost.

They can erase people's memories, but they can't restore them.

Athena went crazy in a fit of rage.

But in their battles with Canakas and Yorkton, they found that these two men fit their "needs" very well.

And after hiding for so long, the time has finally come.

So Athena deliberately tested the two of them again. Eventually, it was determined that these two people were the ones they had been waiting for......

After hearing this, Canakas felt a lot more relieved. I also understand that the records in the book of demon hunting are mostly taken from legends. Not all of them are so credible.

But Yorkton suddenly said, "Uh...... Are we the first husbands you've chosen? After all, you've lived that long. ”

"Does it matter?" asked Athena.

Yorkton thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... Probably not important......"

And Athena suddenly said, "Okay." That's all it takes for us. Tell me about you. Why did you come to such a place?"

Yorkton looked at Canakas, as if to ask him with a look if he wanted to tell the truth.

Canakas snorted coldly and said, "Are you going to lie in front of two people who have lived for at least a few hundred years? Oh! I'm wrong, they're not human." If they really are Athena and Medusa. Then they are gods. ”

Yorkton pouted and said, "Okay then, you can do it." ”

Canakas sighed and said, "I'm a witcher from Petersenburg. He is the Knight Captain of the Royal Guard. A group of young cadets we were protecting were attacked and all died. We both survived. Both of us were obsessed with it. You want to get more power, and then find the person behind the attack to get revenge. We heard that Icepinnacle Island is inhabited by an Olympian god. Going to go there and try your luck. ”

"Oh, looks like you're both a little bit more lucky......" Athena said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" asked Karnacas tentatively.

Athena laughed heartily and said, "Yes." We'll help you. ”

Yorkton frowned and thought for a while and said, "You have been hiding for so many years, why are you no longer hiding now? Just for the two of us?"

Athena looked at her head and said, "No." Previously hidden because we are enemies in the eyes of God and traitors in the eyes of Zeus. In short, it is not possible not to hide. Now both Zeus and Poseidon have died. God also has no time to care for us because of Lucifer. We have nothing to fear. ”

Yorkton asked with great interest at this time: "Is the legend about Icepeak Island true?"

"Who knows! How would we know?" said Athena.

Yorkton grinned and said, "I've heard a lot of legends about you before. I didn't expect you guys to be like this!"

"There's so much more you can't think of...... Athena smiled coquettishly......

For some indescribable reason, Canakas and Yorkton did not immediately set out to find Baron and the werewolf mage who had attacked them.

They stayed in that warm and welcoming cave for the time being......

Adonis, on the other hand, was not so lucky.

When he returned to Petersenburg with a few young men. Petersenburg is already in flames!

Adonis and his party were still far away from Petersenburg, and they could clearly see the flames that had risen high.

Several people were stunned. The young people couldn't believe it, and Adonis couldn't believe it.

They all looked at the flames that were much higher than the city walls.

"Grandma!" Fateh suddenly shouted.

That's right, it was his grandmother who came from afar.

"Hide. Otherwise you will be killed. Let's go!" said Fat's grandmother as soon as she ran to the side of a few people.

Fart knew that Grandma wasn't joking with him. So he looked nervously at Adonis.

Adonis has recovered from the shock. He hastened to say, "Tell us what happened." ”

Fat's grandmother was in a hurry. She stomped her foot and said, "Rebellion! A group of very good witchers took advantage of Nelson's absence to kill all the other witchers." Then I looked everywhere in Petersenburg, and I didn't know what to look for. At the end, a fire was set on fire. Most of the people in Petersenburg were dead. Only some people who did not seem important to them, they did not bother to kill and escaped. Some fled to our village and said this. I saw you come back from afar, so I hurried over. They're going to hunt you down, too. Definitely. Because I know you're not one of them. Let's go!"

Adonis knew that Fate's grandmother was right.

Who in Petersenburg didn't know that he was Nelson's henchman.

Everything in front of him now is almost certain to have been done by Baron's men. Then if he slips through the net, he will definitely become the target of Baron's pursuit.

"Let's go!" said Adonis, turning his horse's head and leaving.

Bella and Lake naturally followed. But Fatt hesitated.

Yes, he had reason to hesitate. He's not Baron's primary target, nor is he a powerful witcher.

Following Adonis wouldn't help, and it might be better to stay with Grandma.

But her grandmother made a decision for him: "You have to take the baby." I know you're not the kind of person who can be a hero. But if you're one of the few surviving witchers, you'll have to shoulder your responsibilities. Go ahead. Walk ......"
