…
As the saying went, the winner takes all … If he failed and was caught by Hermes, he would suffer a terrible fate. He might even end up in a situation where he could neither live nor die.
Since they were enemies, Qin Fang did not have to be polite at all …
Killing a few people and burning down the Parthenon Temple was already considered very low-key. If it was a top powerhouse like Hermes who did this, the consequences would definitely be several times worse than Qin Fang's.
After all, this was the Parthenon Temple, but there were not many people guarding it …
Most of the powerhouses guarding the Parthenon Temple from the Pantheon Mountain lived nearby. Qin Fang did not go over to eliminate these people. Instead, he killed them until they were scared and ran away.
"Alright, the commotion over there is too big … Let's get out of here quickly!
Otherwise, once the Pantheon Mountain takes action and seals off the Sea of Love and the surrounding area, we'll be in trouble … "
Qin Fang did not care about Athena's complaints at all.
However, the destruction of the Parthenon Temple had a huge impact on the Pantheon Mountain … Mount Olympus was not far away. Even if Hermes did not ask for help, Zeus would never let go of Qin Fang, the "arsonist".
Qin Fang didn't mind at all, as Hermes hadn't found out anything about him. Even if the powerful warriors of the Divine Mountain came to attack him, he could still calmly and easily escape from them.
However, the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, was with him. This was a little troublesome.
It was not that he was afraid that Athena would betray him, but once Athena's identity was exposed, the Pantheon Mountain would definitely send powerhouses to hunt her down … The Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, was the hope of the Pantheon Mountain. They would definitely bring her back to the Pantheon Mountain.
As for Qin Fang …
Normally, they would directly kill him on the spot to end Athena's last bit of hope!
Of course, the prerequisite was that the experts sent had to be able to capture the Goddess of Wisdom Athena and have the ability to kill Qin Fang …
Athena agreed without hesitation. She followed Qin Fang and sped off in a certain direction. She was even more reluctant to appear in the territory of Mount Pantheon than Qin Fang.
If possible, she wished she could immediately fly away from this area.
However, on the way out, Athena couldn't help but have too many questions in her mind.
"My plan was perfect, so why did it cause such a big commotion?"
Athena also looked at Qin Fang with a very strange expression and asked in confusion.
Before Qin Fang took action, she had prepared a very perfect plan for Qin Fang. She had considered almost every detail. Such an accident should not have happened. She could not accept it.
She was known for her monstrous intelligence, and she was very confident in her own plans.
"Accident, there was a small accident …"
Qin Fang shrugged and said helplessly.
Qin Fang definitely would not tell Athena the truth of the matter … He could only use such a weak excuse to avoid it.
"What exactly did you steal from the temple?"
However, because Qin Fang's excuse was too lame, Athena couldn't accept it at all. She rolled her eyes and vaguely guessed the truth.
In fact, she had already considered such a possibility before Qin Fang entered the Parthenon Temple.
It was just that Qin Fang was about to take action at that time, so she didn't deliberately care about it!
But now that things had already happened and caused such a huge commotion, she really couldn't help but want to ask about it …
"It's that scepter …"
Qin Fang, however, put on a very innocent look.
With a flick of his wrist, the scepter appeared in his hand …
"Here, if you don't believe me, you can check it yourself …"
Athena was one of the core members of Mount Pantheon. Even if she wasn't in charge of the Parthenon Temple, she must have seen the scepter before, so Qin Fang took it out without hesitation.
It was the best evidence …
"Is there something else?"
However, with Athena's monstrous IQ, she wasn't that easily fooled. She rolled her eyes and revealed a dazzling, seductive smile as she asked with a cheeky grin.
The scepter was real!
There was no doubt about it!
But a mere scepter couldn't have caused such a big commotion … Athena was also sure of this. Her plan was perfect, and there were almost no loopholes. Naturally, such an accident wouldn't have happened.
The only explanation was that Qin Fang had taken something else!
"Wait, the Fire Seed …"
Athena was a member of Mount Pantheon after all. She suddenly remembered the other treasures placed together with the scepter, and immediately thought of the Fire Seed. Her expression changed drastically. "You stole the Fire Seed …"
Athena stared straight at Qin Fang and said firmly, without waiting for Qin Fang to admit it.
"That … was an accident, purely an accident!"
Qin Fang smiled awkwardly.
But, it was the truth …
In fact, he didn't plan to go to the altar. He just wanted to take the treasure from the statue of Athena and leave without anyone noticing. However, things happened too quickly, and he had no choice but to do so.
And he only wanted to take the scepter …
As for the golden ball, it was just a coincidence. Even he didn't expect it to be the legendary "Fire Seed" in Greek mythology.
"You really took it …"
Athena muttered with a strange expression when she heard Qin Fang's answer.
The truth was, even though she said it with certainty, she didn't think so in her heart … The Fire Seed had been placed in the Parthenon Temple for many years, and countless powerhouses of Mount Pantheon had tried to subdue it.
But the results were obvious …
All of them ended in failure. A few of them were even killed by the terrifying flames of the Heavenly Fire that erupted from the Fire Seed!
Even a powerhouse like Hermes couldn't subdue the fierce flames. He had only managed to escape with his life thanks to the legendary Fire Tortoise …
As for the others, they were naturally not worth mentioning at all!
Because of this, Athena didn't think Qin Fang could really take the Fire Seed!
But now, it seemed like Qin Fang had succeeded!
And …
The reason the Parthenon Temple was burned to such a state was most likely because Qin Fang had used the Heavenly Fire Seed to set it on fire!
"Worst comes to worst, I'll give it to you if you want it …"
Qin Fang took out the golden ball and was about to throw it back to Athena.
"Stop!"
Fortunately, Athena reacted quickly and immediately stopped him.
"Since you've taken out the Fire Seed and brought it out, it means … Well, in the words of the people of the Long Province, you're fated with the Fire Seed, so it's naturally yours!"
As one of the cores of Mount Pantheon, how could Athena not know how powerful the golden ball was?
If she could control and use it, she would definitely not go easy on Qin Fang.
Unfortunately, she couldn't control it at all …
In that case, it was better to leave the golden ball with Qin Fang. At least it wouldn't erupt into a violent flame for no reason and swallow someone whole!
Athena had seen the scene of a Fire Seed swallowing a living person more than once. There was even a genius whose strength and talent weren't inferior to hers, but he still died!
"Hehe …"
Seeing that Athena didn't want it, Qin Fang kept the golden ball with a smirk.
This Fire Seed wasn't simple, and it was quite useful. Its power wasn't inferior to Qin Fang's Four Symbols Colored Glass Fire. Qin Fang naturally wouldn't give it up so easily … It was just that he was too late to play hard to get.
With Athena's wisdom, how could she not see it?
However, it was useless even if she saw it!
Since she couldn't control the golden ball, it was naturally better to give it to Qin Fang … But she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Qin Fang's little trick!
Qin Fang didn't answer her. Instead, he took the opportunity to examine the scepter carefully!
He couldn't take out the treasure he got from the statue of Athena … Once he took it out, the thing he did would be exposed. Not to mention that it was a very precious treasure, so he couldn't expose it. Otherwise, Qin Fang would be in a lot of trouble!
"What exactly is this scepter?"
Athena was also very curious about this.
The scepter had been in the Parthenon Temple for many years, and it was placed next to the Fire Seed, protected by the Space-Sealing Formation. It was obvious how precious it was!
Every year, many thieves would sneak into the Parthenon Temple and try to steal the scepter …
Most of these thieves were from the Long Province!
It was obvious that the scepter wasn't as simple as it seemed. It was very likely to be a very precious and rare inherited artifact!
Athena even suspected that the scepter was a legendary artifact, even though the possibility of that was very slim.
"It's a weapon …"
Qin Fang played with the scepter and said calmly, "And it's the most powerful weapon in the Long Province …"
"A weapon?
Or a weapon? "
Athena couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at the gorgeous scepter inlaid with gems. It would be more appropriate to say that it was the symbol of a certain noble in the Chidragon Kingdom.
As for calling it a weapon …
Even a woman as intelligent as Athena could not help but snort in disdain.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me, so I'll show you …"
Qin Fang didn't care about Athena's disdainful look. He just smiled faintly and put his hand on the handle of the scepter …
