Chapter 723 Prelude to Night Raid

After the preliminary round, it is normal rest time.

Eros and Menage did not want anything for Atum’s promise. After all, it was just a small request that was not excessive.

Eros left first, followed by Menage, and after the two left, Othinus followed directly.

This made the remaining one of the four qualifiers look at their departing backs with some doubt in his heart.

Is there any other activity here? Am I just not sociable?
But after thinking about it, Abraham did not follow.

They all look young, but I am already old, so it is better for me not to get involved in any activities.

Menage, who was following Eros back, vaguely felt that someone seemed to be following him on the road.

But every time I turned around, I didn’t see anyone else.

This strange feeling did not disappear until she returned to the temple where she lived. Eros felt a little amused when he saw her suspicious look.

“Why are you always looking back? Stop thinking too much, just have a good rest and get ready for the next game.”

Eros was not unaware of Othinus following the two of them. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he would also go and inquire about Abraham’s situation.

As for Othinus, she could follow if she wanted to. She wanted to know how Eros knew her, and Eros also wanted to know why she looked like this.

Odin, the great god and lord of the nine realms, took the trouble to come to Esseneiro. What does he want to do?
It’s impossible that he has a wife and children here like Eros, right?
Eros was thinking in his mind, but he did not show any strange expression on his face. He returned to the temple very naturally.

Then, when facing Isis, Nephthys and others who came to greet him, he suddenly spoke with a serious expression.

“Buster, stop lying there like a useless cat. It’s time to need you!”

Outside the temple, Othinus watched Eros enter the temple, and her little face under the witch’s hat frowned slightly.

If she remembered correctly, the inhabitant here was Isis, the goddess of magic of the Aesirene and the mother of Horus, the god of vengeance.

From this perspective, there are three gods participating in the competition, two of whom are mother and daughter. There are four human magicians shortlisted, and two of them now have a close relationship with Isis.

Among the seven contestants in total, more than half of them may be in the same camp. How is this different from being basically determined?

This discovery surprised Othinus a little, but it was just a surprise.

After all, it is a one-on-one duel. No matter how many people there are, it will be useless and it will not consume resources. At most, they can only test some information.

The problem now is that if Eros lives with the magic goddess Isis, it will be a bit troublesome if I want to capture Eros.

Yes, Othinus was certainly not a stalker. Her idea was quite pure and simple, which was to find an opportunity when Eros was alone and then capture him directly.

Although she did lose the Heca contest, this does not mean that Othinus is inferior to Eros.

As Othinus, who achieved omnipotence through magic and became a demon god, she was not good at this unpopular magic that was only popular in Esseniro.

Without any divine power or priesthood, she is also a nearly omnipotent magician named after the devil.

Using cards to fight actually weakened her strength. Just like the various magic spells used in the card game, she could usually use them at will without any trouble.

Although private fighting is prohibited in the City of the Sun, Othinus did not take it seriously.

As long as you don’t get caught, then this rule doesn’t apply, right?
Originally, Othinus was quite confident that, given a chance, she would be able to take Eros away in an instant, and then use all kinds of magic to explore Eros’s mind and find out the secret of why he knew her name.

But now that Eros and Isis live together, that’s a little troublesome.

Although I’m not afraid, it will be troublesome.

Othinus thought about it and finally stayed not far from the Temple of Isis. They would wait until dark, as they would have to rest, and then they could sneak in and see if they could kidnap the person.

Inside the temple, Buster, who had become a useless cat, was shaken so hard by Eros that his fur almost exploded and he was almost hit by Eros’ claws.

“Don’t touch the cat, and don’t shake it!”

Buster, who was forcibly awakened, jumped down from Eros’s hands and licked his messed-up hair with some disgust.

“Did something happen?”

The clever Isis quickly guessed the general situation.

“She was the guy you competed with in the small world. Did she come after you?”

It should be said that only those who understand Eros’s character and style can quickly understand what Eros has encountered.

After all, it is common for trouble to arise because of women.

Isis had no choice but to feel helpless about this.

“Yes, that’s right. That guy must have been unable to beat me on the court and wanted to take revenge off the court. He was secretly following us just now.”

Eros said seriously.

“Buster, stop pretending to be dead. If that guy dares to sneak in later, that’s when you’ll be able to show your skills.”

“Don’t show any mercy, just slap her and tie her up on the ground.”

In response to Eros’s words, Buster just snorted in disdain.

Why did she have to help this stinky man? Was there any need for her to do so?

It would be best to just let this guy be kidnapped by someone else, right?
Buster looked uninterested and paid no attention to Eros’ words.

“Should I check the temple’s defenses? Or reinforce them?”

Isis asked, but her idea was rejected by Eros.

“No need. It’s easy to thieves, but there’s no reason to guard against thieves. No need to reinforce it. If she wants to come, just let her in.”

“It is only right to completely resolve the threat directly.”

Eros’ words were righteous, but Isis believed that he wanted to catch the other party rather than what he said.

But since Eros said so, Isis naturally didn’t say anything more.

She was just a woman anyway, so she didn’t need to worry about Eros’ experience in dealing with women.

But Buster didn’t want to help Eros. She looked as if it was none of her business and was combing her hair lazily.

Cats are very petty, and it is not easy for Eros to convince her.

But Eros always has a way. If Buster ignores him, he will turn his attention to another person.

“Goddess Nephthys, I think we can discuss something more important.”

“Would you like to come to my room later?”
