"I'm sorry, I lost my composure. However, anyone who gets to see your beauty will surely be captivated."
His tone was sincere, and his words came from a man's true heart.
Although Artemis wasn't particularly interested in romantic relationships, she didn't hate them either.
She simply laughed and said Eugene was being too polite, and then the two naturally began to chat.
Eugene talked about Astraea's recent life, of course only mentioning the good things.
After praising her best friend to the skies, Artemis's attitude softened further, and her smile became even more radiant and charming.
Eugene restrained himself from glancing around; the old maid was very sensitive in this regard.
Every time Hermes and his companions spied on them in the heavens, they could instantly find them and unleash a barrage of arrows.
"After saying all that, I almost forgot to ask, Mr. Eugene, is there anything you need from me this time?" 513
Since it's a trip, there must be a destination. Artemis guessed that Eugene also wanted to find their clan to be his guide or bodyguard.
"I have recently become very interested in a ruin in the Great Tree Sea Secret Realm, and I hope your family will do me the honor of sending an adventurer to guide me."
Sure enough! Artemis's eyes lit up. She would have to consider this request if it were someone else, but since she had a connection with Astraea, she would do her best to help.
She readily agreed, and her opinion of Eugene, who was so courteous, rose considerably.
This person isn't as frivolous as he seems.
"I can rest assured that."
Eugene pretended to be reassured as he spoke, but in reality, he was already looking forward to what would happen next.
Looking at Artemis's bright, smiling face, he slowly revealed his destination.
"The Ruins of Esorius, which are said to have been built by fairies in ancient times."
Upon hearing this, Artemis's gentle smile immediately froze at the corner of her mouth.
Just as the moon reveals its true face, a chill rushes over and pierces the forehead.
Hunting instincts locked onto the composed man, and Artemis maintained her final composure.
"Mr. Eugene."
"Please answer my next questions carefully."
"What do you know about that ruin, and what is the purpose of your trip?"
Artemis was seduced in 339 seconds! She was devastated!
Artemis tried her best to suppress her harshness and asked the question in as calm a tone as possible.
The secrets hidden deep within the ruins of Esorius are a hidden bomb capable of threatening the world; the slightest mishap could bring unimaginable calamity.
Compared to bosses who can only lord it over in dungeons, "Scorpio" Andaris is on a completely different level.
In an era a thousand years ago, the great immortals, blessed by the gods and capable of using magic to split mountains and divide seas, relied on their combined efforts to seal the terrifying demonic scorpion deep within the Great Tree Sea.
Currently, among the monsters still alive on the ground, it is estimated that only the One-Eyed Black Dragon is stronger than it. As a black monster that can multiply infinitely, neither adventurers nor gods are able to deal with it.
In fact, in the theatrical version, Artemis was only completely destroyed through a method similar to mutual destruction.
Eugene admired the earnest, mature-looking young woman before him. He paused briefly, then gave a mysterious smile:
"What, does Your Majesty not understand the meaning of the word 'traveler'?"
"Exploring the unknown is normal for humans, isn't it?"
His words startled Artemis, but she quickly emphasized them again.
“That ruin is different. In ancient times, it served as the sealing place for a terrifying monster, that guy…”
"The Scorpion of the Secret Realm, the 513 monster that is on par with the three legendary quests."
Since Artemis had no intention of deliberately concealing anything, Eugene simply brought it up.
"I have long wanted to see these legendary creatures, but unfortunately, two of the three commissions have already perished, and the Black Dragon has disappeared without a trace."
"But even the traces of their battle are astonishing. Behemoth's poisonous blood turned a forest into a desert, and the lingering power of Leviathan's corpse caused countless sea monsters to flee in panic."
"As for the black dragon, even the once-powerful Zeus and Hera's Familia suffered a devastating blow, which shows just how powerful it is..."
Artemis refrained from interrupting Eugene, initially out of politeness, but later she felt that the guy was completely insane.
In her mind, the instinct to avoid danger is innate, and only a slightly delusional god of pleasure like Hermes would constantly approach or even deliberately create dangerous situations.
Eugene's single-minded desire to "behold" calamity was incomprehensible even to the gods, and was directly defined as the behavior of a madman like Hermes.
“I cannot allow it.”
After gazing at the man for a long time, Artemis sighed, her embroidered eyebrows furrowed, her face serene and resolute.
"Although you are not under my command, I am still a god, and I cannot just watch you seek your own death."
"Is that so? I don't think I'll die." Eugene wasn't annoyed at all. "Besides, how could the gods have predicted that I would be in danger?"
He pressed on relentlessly, displaying a thirst for the truth: "That monster was clearly sealed away in ancient times, so how come the seal has become dusty and rotten as the ruins crumble?"
!
Startled by the glint in those eyes, the Moon Goddess's fair face suddenly changed.
She realized the complexity of Eugene, a man whose insight extended beyond his identity as a traveler.
So far, everything Artemis has heard from Eugene has been true, but the hunter's instincts have already reacted to his words.
Eugene is plotting something; it must be related to that monster!
Deciding to display some divine authority, Artemis immediately declared sternly, "This is none of your business, Mr. Eugene. In short, I will not offer any assistance if you wish to go there!"
"Ah~~~"
Seeing Eugene's face fall, Artemis smiled slightly and added, "If you insist on going, then I will have to do my best to keep Astraea's friend here a little longer."
This is going to involve detaining people...
Eugene scratched his head and said, "Then there's no other way but to find another way."
The naive goddess, who thought she had everything planned out, was in a better mood, unaware that Eugene was already preparing to stir up trouble in the Land of Women.
He stretched and stood up, casually saying, "Since I'm not allowed to go, I'll have to find something to do first."
(bieb) "Ah, I saw a lot of pretty girls in the clan when I came here, so I'll go and chat them up first!"
???
He's serious!?
Artemis's eyes flickered, and her gaze toward Eugene instantly shifted from relaxed to one of intense vigilance.
The final divine power has finally awakened, and the keen aura of the millennia-old virgin begins to frantically warn everyone. Originally, she thought this guy was just a bit frivolous, but now it seems he really is a pervert!
In a clan full of girls, he's truly a wolf among sheep!
Fortunately, the girls under my command are all very determined and will not give up easily—
Just as Artemis was feeling lucky, Eugene strode forward and pinned the girl in the corner of the hall against the wall.
Bie Tianshen is activated!
"You are like a red flower I once saw in the desert, strong, unique and beautiful."
"Miss, I must admit, my soul has been deeply attracted to you."
"Do you have time tonight to have dinner together and enjoy the scenery?"
Stunned by Eugene's sudden action, Artemis was about to criticize this lewd flirting when she witnessed her beloved servant, whom she had sworn never to betray, blushing and shyly nodding in agreement to this incredibly abrupt invitation!
Why?! Artemis, who almost screamed in bewilderment and helplessness like another stupid blue-haired goddess from another world, froze as if electrocuted, watching helplessly as her trusted and adorable child was taken away by that scoundrel Eugene, who had his arm around her slender waist.
The atmosphere of the two chatting and laughing was directly misinterpreted by the perpetual spinster's filter as Eugene unilaterally taking advantage of her and ruthlessly abandoning her.
Damn it!
It's all because I left him here!
They snatched one away the moment they met today. If this continues, won't this place become a gold mine?
"You, you wait a minute!!"
"He really is a complete idiot..." Eugene chuckled to himself.
In the theatrical version, Artemis is portrayed as a character who is so innocent that she is almost silly.
It seems that she still has many endearing qualities that can be discovered.
"What's wrong, my lord? I have an appointment tonight. If it's not something important, I'll have to decline."
"Woo——"
Her mind was in turmoil, and her beautiful face turned red, which was quite adorable.
Faced with Eugene's wolfish onslaught, the goddess, caught in a dilemma, had no choice but to reluctantly nod.
Her voice was weak and feeble: "I... I promise you."
He immediately raised his voice eight octaves: "But the condition is that I must accompany you, and the entire process, from beginning to end, must be conducted under my supervision!"
Eugene's eyes shone brightly; everything that had happened was exactly what he had hoped for.
"very good."
He flashed his gleaming white teeth.
"It really couldn't be better..."
340 Sorry, I've already been completely honest with your best friend.
Because of their intense reactions to matters between men and women, they will force themselves to imagine a series of incredible developments even during a normal date.
In order to protect her beloved children from Eugene's wrath, Artemis had to personally take charge, preparing to accompany and supervise them throughout the process in order to extinguish Eugene's desire for exploration.
"Hmm, it went quite smoothly." Eugene, who had released the girl from his arms, showed no surprise at the goddess's suggestion.
This naive and somewhat silly girl couldn't even handle the original protagonist, Bell, who was like an innocent little rabbit, let alone Eugene, who was a very cunning and lecherous wolf.
On the other hand, by doing this, she actually saved her innocent and pure family members. After all, it would be impossible for her not to have close contact with Eugene.
"Pack up now, let's leave right now!" The goddess, her face flushed and her expression flushed with shame and indignation, was incredibly cute, and the sight of her long braids swaying in the breeze made Eugene's mind wander.
