Chapter 573 Artemis's Irritation
Theseus waited until Shen Fei finished listening before he said respectfully, "Priest, God's revelation has been spread to all places where Ephesus can gather."

While speaking, Theseus looked at Shen Fei with eyes full of admiration. He did not expect that the priest could come up with such a fitting connection.

It turns out that my god is actually the Moon God.

Because from the perspective of spells, the spells bestowed by God are mostly related to [hunting], [fertility] and even [forest].

Moreover, there were oracles in the temples. Whatever the temple symbolized also symbolized the corresponding divine power.

The relationship between my god and the moon is not obvious at all.

But the scriptures written by the priests were well-reasoned and had been read thoroughly by the priests of the temple before they were spread.

"Well, it is our duty to spread the glory of our God. Pay the bards to continue to sing the glory of our God."

Shen Fei nodded.

Theseus could not help but ask, "Priest, is it true that the Macedonian Kingdom will soon have a firstborn son who will be blessed by the gods?"

Although Theseus was a priest, it could be said that even if a war broke out, as long as he stayed in the temple, no one would dare to invade.

But Theseus was from Macedonia, and it was his belief in the gods that brought him to Ephesus, the largest temple, to serve as a priest.

Naturally, I am extremely concerned about what is about to happen in Macedonia.

"The gods have been paying attention to this matter for a long time."

Shen Fei said calmly that in the past two months he was not only writing classics, but also collecting various information, in addition to the affairs of the Greek city-states.

There is also the matter of Persia and Macedonia outside of Greece.

As for the way to understand it, it was naturally the parliament and nobles of Ephesus.

Since the rise of the Macedonian Kingdom.

Many Greek city-states were greatly affected.

Some joined Macedonia, while Athens and Sparta joined the Corinthian League.

And places like Ephesus seemed to be still under Persian rule.

But Persia had long lost its ability to exert substantial control over Ephesus; instead, the Temple of Artemis, a symbol of divine authority, was more important.

And Ephesus can now even be regarded as the mortal area ruled by Artemis, if the previous priests had simply ignored the affairs of Ephesus.

But now, Shen Fei plans to use local forces to expand Artemis' divine power, and naturally he has to use the power of Ephesus.

In fact, many priests had looked down upon the power of the mortal world before. In their view, the so-called city-state rule was nothing more than a toy of the gods.

But Shen Fei is different. The gods are high above, and if there is an oracle, even the parliaments and nobles have to obey it.

Even if he was a king, facing Zeus who cheated on his wife, he would have to say "Well done, fuck you, and from then on your son is my son."

But the problem is, without oracles, these secular forces can accomplish many things.

Not to mention spreading faith.

If there are no miracles, then word of mouth is definitely more helpful.

This tavern in Ephesus was just one of the places arranged by Shen Fei. There were many other places where temple priests and bards spread the news in Ephesus and even other city-states.

As for the prophecy about Philip II's eldest son, it had actually already been known by many nobles, and the person who made the prophecy was not an ordinary person, but a priest of Apollo.

It just didn't specify which god was blessing him, but based on what Shen Fei knew, it went without saying that Artemis was definitely blessing him.

"It all depends on Artemis's reaction."

Shen Fei sat on the chair, thinking, in fact, the strengthening of the divine power is also his test of Artemis, like the change of the relationship between gods, affecting the relationship between mortals. And the change of faith in the mortal world will definitely lead to the change of gods.

In order to solve this problem from the root, Artemis must at least know that this situation has occurred.

If she had known in advance that the temple was about to be burned, would that have changed?

At the very least, we need to know why Ares and Hephaestus are targeting Artemis.

Ares was on the side of Artemis at the beginning, but why after the war, the 'hunting sacrifice' replaced the 'human sacrifice'?

Artemis should be the loser.

'I'm afraid Athena is involved...' Shen Fei could only think of this possibility, otherwise it would be hard to imagine why Ares would attack Artemis.

……

Mount Olympus.

The domain of Artemis.

There is a boundless and huge jungle, in the jungle there are golden-horned deer leaping freely and comfortably, and in the very center of the jungle there is a vast pool of water, in the center of the pool there is a spring emitting a faint silver light.

Artemis was sitting in a golden-horned deer chariot, with her white legs swinging, and she was not wearing any shoes.

The ten toes on a pair of feet swayed like white pearls swaying in the sky, making people salivate.

Her slender white legs were fully exposed, and what spread above her was not the gorgeous robes that many goddesses often wore, but a wild animal skin skirt.

This is her symbol of [hunting].

The smooth belly and the towering body covered with animal skins are a heavy symbol of the divine power of fertility.

She certainly could not be the 'Goddess of Peace', but rather had the solemnity and majesty of a fertility goddess, more so than the goddess of beauty Aphrodite.

The face is a mixture of wildness and purity, which creates a unique contrast.

The proud figure and pure face all reveal the beauty of Artemis.

But Artemis looked irritated.

Suddenly a silver bow appeared in his hand. With a fierce pull, an arrow flew out and hit the golden-horned deer in the jungle. Blood immediately spurted out of the deer's neck.

He fell to the ground and twitched continuously.

Artemis came back to her senses and saw the fallen golden-horned deer. She waved her hand, and the golden-horned deer stood up again and exhaled in a slightly irritated manner, "Who on earth is this..."

Lachesis told her.

Her faith will suffer a huge blow in Greece, and the only one who can restore her faith is the 'King with Double Pupils' who will be born soon, the eldest son of Philip, the current King of Macedonia.

So she kept her eyes on Macedonia, and found that its queen had traces of divine power, which had existed for a long, long time.

But she could hardly tell who left this divine power behind.

Neither the 'divine authority' nor the 'personality' is inferior to hers.

She didn't have the divine power of [prophecy], so it was difficult for her to find out who was planning to attack her.

As her thoughts changed, she touched the slightly marked crescent mark on her forehead.

"If I had the power of the Moon, I would know who is plotting against me."
