Open the door, there is another world
Page 179
Just as they were talking about this, the door was suddenly pushed open and Liliana walked in: “I have already brought the Gorgon Stone, King…”
As soon as Liliana came in, her eyes fell on Li Qing, and then she saw the notebook in Li Qing’s hand. She was stunned for a moment, and swallowed back half of the words she wanted to say. She looked at the notebook with an incredible look, and then she looked fiercely at Erica.
“Erica! I will kill you!” He pounced directly at Erica.
Erica finally reacted at this time, and then Lily rushed in front of her. Erica subconsciously stretched out her hand to block her, but Liliana came with anger so Erica couldn’t stop her at all. She was immediately knocked to the ground by Liliana. Then the two of them twisted together on the ground, one moment you were on top and the other moment I was on top. The situation was completely difficult to resolve. Li Qing put down the novel and focused his attention on the scene.
The fight between girls, especially two pretty girls, is much more interesting than in novels.
Li Qing watched with great interest from the side. Erica and Liliana twisted on the ground for several minutes before they stopped. In the end, both of them lay on the ground panting and didn’t move. It was obvious that both of them had almost exhausted their strength, so they were now taking a halftime break.
“Erica, I won’t let you off easily this time.” Liliana muttered.
Erica pouted: “I didn’t do anything.”
“You still say that!” Liliana went crazy.
You’ve been caught in the act, yet you’re still standing here saying you didn’t do anything. Do you think I’m blind?
What she hated most was Erica’s lying with her eyes open.
“I’m sorry.” Now Erica suddenly apologized again.
Liliana: “…”
“Don’t think I will forgive you just because you apologize.” Liliana said unhappily.
Erica sighed, “I didn’t mean to do that. I just wanted to know what you were doing, Lily, so I took a peek at your novel. But Lily, your novel is really well written. If it is published, it will definitely become a bestseller. Lily, do you want me to introduce you to a publishing editor?”
“Shut up!” Liliana shouted with a red face.
It’s okay for her to write these novels and read them alone for her own entertainment, but she would be absolutely embarrassed if she published them, so this is absolutely not an option.
“Well, are you done talking?” Li Qing beside him couldn’t help it.
It was okay to watch the girls fighting each other, but he had no interest in chatting like this, so he couldn’t help but interrupt them.
The two then remembered that Li Qing was here, so they quickly got up from the ground, their faces a little flushed, especially Liliana. She had only known Li Qing for a short time, but she had been embarrassed in front of Li Qing so many times. She was really crazy in her heart, and she wanted to tear Erica, the culprit of all this, into pieces, but in the end she held back her anger, and her eyes drifted to the notebook for his novel that Li Qing had placed aside.
Li Qing laughed and said, “Take it. I’ve already read it.”
“I’ve finished reading it…” Liliana didn’t know what to say. She just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Then he glared at Erica fiercely.
“It is indeed very well written. It can be a best-selling novel if it is published.” Li Qing said with a smile.
At least it will be a best-seller among many girls, and this is what girls like to watch the most.
Liliana wanted to cry. She really didn’t want to continue this topic.
She quickly took the book back. Erica sighed with regret. She hadn’t read enough, so Liliana glared at her fiercely again. However, Liliana didn’t rush to cause trouble for her. Instead, she quickly changed the subject and said, “I got the Gorgon Stone.”
Li Qing saw that she wanted to change the subject, so he followed her wishes and said with a smile: “Bring it here and let’s see it.”
Liliana breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out a box.
The box was thirty centimeters long and only about ten centimeters high. Li Qing took it and placed it on his palm, examining it carefully. The box was made of an unknown wood, at least Li Qing didn’t recognize the wood, and there were many complicated patterns on it, exuding a mysterious magical aura. It was obviously a sealed box. Li Qing examined it for a while and was about to open it. Liliana said quickly, “The things inside will escape after you open it.”
Li Qing paused, looked up and asked Liliana: “How do you run?”
“It will absorb magic from the atmosphere, then transform into dragons and snakes and fly away.” Liliana said.
Li Qing nodded, then smiled: “Don’t worry, it won’t run away.”
Then he opened the box.
The thing in the box was a palm-sized plaque with the head of Medusa on it, with snakes dancing wildly in it, as if it was about to rush out. One glance was enough to tell that this was not an ordinary thing. Moreover, Li Qing also felt the aura of divinity on it, so this thing was indeed real. It was the Gorgon Stone. Li Qing observed the stone plaque and reached out to take it out, but suddenly the stone plaque turned into a ray of light and flew up.
With a whoosh, it flew towards the window, trying to leave through the window.
At the same time, the figure of a giant dragon appeared on the stone tablet, and it appeared in the window with a roar.
“Come back.” Li Qing stretched out his hand and grabbed over there.
The next moment, a gray giant hand appeared above the stone tablet. It gently grabbed the giant dragon phantom and crushed it. It grabbed the stone tablet in its hand, and then flew back and landed in Li Qing’s palm. Li Qing looked at the stone tablet over and over again, and then nodded with satisfaction: “It is indeed a magical weapon. It can actually run!”
Seeing Li Qing easily grab the stone tablet back, Liliana also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he paused and said, “It hasn’t absorbed much magic power yet. If it absorbs more magic power, it might really be able to turn into a giant dragon.”
“Now that you mention it, I’m interested.” Li Qing said.
He had killed a dragon before, and now that he heard that this thing could really turn into a dragon, he wanted to kill it again.
But he just thought about it, and then put the stone tablet into the box and covered it.
“What interests?” Liliana asked at a loss.
Li Qing smiled and shook his head: “Nothing.”
Then he asked again: “Do you think this can attract Athena?”
Liliana and Erica looked at each other and shook their heads. Erica said, “Although this is related to Athena, we don’t know whether she will come down or not. It is probably impossible for her to come down. If the God of Disobedience came down so easily, the world would have been a mess long ago.”
Liliana nodded in agreement, obviously thinking the same thing.
Li Qing smiled and said, “I think I can lead it down.”
Because it was included in the original book.
And his guess was indeed correct. Athena had indeed come down from the realm of the gods, and appeared in the place where the Gorgon Stone first appeared. Her shepherd, who appeared in the human world, was a young shepherdess wearing a sweater, a knitted hat, and a short plaid skirt. Judging from the hair exposed outside the knitted hat, she also had short silver hair, and looked exactly like a teenage girl, except that her face was cold and expressionless.
Furthermore, his pupils were so dark that they seemed to contain a deep, bottomless darkness.
“My loved ones.” Athena murmured to herself.
She did not find the Gorgon Stone here, and then looked up at the sky: “Trinity, I will finally return to my original form.”
Then a breeze blew by, and her figure disappeared from here.
……
21. Athena! (Please subscribe!)
Li Qing put away the Gorgon Stone and turned to look out the window.
Then he stood up and said, “Let’s go, take a walk outside!”
“Okay!” Erica nodded quickly.
Then he smiled and said to Liliana: “Lily, you come too.”
Liliana hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
So the group went out.
Walking and stopping on the street, looking here and playing there, time passed slowly. Li Qing was eating an ice cream in his hand, and Erica and Liliana beside him were doing the same. They walked through a street and came to a square. The square was very lively with people coming and going, and there were children running around under the care of adults. It was a completely joyous scene. Li Qing looked at it with a smile and suddenly found a person who stood out from the crowd.
Li Qing looked carefully and found that it was a little girl.
She looked to be about ten years old, with an expressionless face and dark pupils. She wore a knitted hat, a knitted sweater and a plaid skirt, as well as black socks and leather shoes. Her height was not noticeable in the crowd, and she was just standing there quietly, but she had a feeling that could not be ignored, which made Li Qing involuntarily cast his eyes on her. Li Qing narrowed his eyes, then smiled and gestured in that direction with the ice cream, and then took a big bite of the ice cream.
The little girl over there naturally saw this scene. Her dark pupils stared at him without any emotion, and then her figure disappeared in a breeze.
Erica and Liliana also noticed that Li Qing seemed to be looking to one side with a faint smile on his face, so they looked in the direction Li Qing was looking at out of curiosity. As a result, they found nothing. There was no one in the place where Li Qing was looking, so they were a little curious. Then Erica asked curiously: “What’s wrong? Was there anyone there just now?”
“He has left.” Li Qing shook his head.
He was eating an ice cream cone, and at this moment he was eating the crispy outer layer, making a crunching sound in his mouth.
“Who is it?” Erica licked the cream on the ice cream cone with the tip of her pink tongue, her face full of curiosity.
Li Qing: “Athena.”
After finishing the last bite of crispy skin, Li Qing sighed: “She was there just now.”
Erica was so shocked that she even forgot to retract her tongue. Liliana on the other side also exclaimed: “Athena?!”
She was also eating the ice cream cone, but she just happened to retract the tip of her tongue, so she exclaimed.
At this time, Erica also reacted and asked Li Qing quickly: “Did you see it right?”
Li Qing shook his head: “I definitely did not sense the aura of the God of Disobedience wrongly. Plus, that person looks like a girl, and I have the Gorgon Stone on me, so I guessed correctly. The girl emitting the aura of the God of Disobedience is most likely Athena.”
After hearing what Li Qing said, Erica and Liliana looked at each other and both felt that Li Qing was right, that should be Athena.
However, they did not expect that Athena would actually come down to the mortal world, and even come to their door. This was no small matter. Athena actually cared so much about the Gorgon Stone, which meant that the battle between the God Slayer and the God of Disobedience was inevitable. Then the two looked around. There were so many ordinary people around. If a battle broke out here, who knows how many casualties would be caused. Both of them felt a lingering fear in their hearts.
Fortunately, Athena did not cause trouble here, otherwise God knows how many people would have died.
The two of them lost interest in eating ice cream and looked towards Li Qing. Erica said quickly, “Let’s go back.”
“Are you in such a hurry?” Li Qing glanced at her.
Erica nodded, and Liliana said quickly: “Although I don’t know why the God of Disobedience didn’t take action just now, there is no doubt that she will not give up, so she will definitely take action later. There are so many people here, it will be bad if we fight here, so we have to think of a foolproof plan.”
Li Qing glanced around and nodded: “That’s true.”
He is not a demon. There are many ordinary people here, so it is not a good idea to fight here. He really needs to find a suitable place.
“Let’s go.” So Li Qing nodded.
Erica and Liliana hurried to follow.
The two of them took a look at the cones in their hands and no longer had the idea of eating slowly, so they swallowed the wine in two or three gulps. As a result, they gasped and covered their heads. It was obvious that they were chilled because they ate too fast.
Li Qing glanced at the two of them, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Athena won’t attack so easily. After all, she is the goddess of wisdom.”
Erica and Liliana responded and were stunned after hearing Li Qing’s words. Then they reacted and understood what Li Qing meant. They looked at each other and began to think. As the goddess of wisdom, Athena would not attack without any preparation. Of course, the goddess of wisdom must use wisdom. Moreover, Athena also has the title of goddess of war, so she also has unique insights into war. Therefore, Athena would definitely be well prepared before coming.
At least we need to collect Li Qing’s information, understand Li Qing’s power and personality, and formulate a strategy before attacking.
However, Athena must have been fully prepared at this time, so the attack launched at this time would definitely be a thundering blow.
The two men’s faces changed when they thought of this, and they quickly looked at Li Qing and said in unison: “So we have to strike first.”
Since Athena wants to formulate a foolproof plan before causing trouble, she cannot be given time and the initiative must be in their own hands. That is why both of them thought of the strategy of striking first, because only in this way can they disrupt Athena’s pace and nip the danger in the bud.
Li Qing understood what the two meant, but smiled and shook his head: “Don’t worry, just let her observe.”
“How can we do this? It’s too dangerous!” Erica said quickly: “Athena is the goddess of wisdom and war. She is already very powerful. Coupled with her wisdom and sensitivity to war, if you really give her time, she might really defeat you.”
Liliana also nodded quickly: “Erica is right, this is absolutely not possible!”
Li Qing shook his head: “Don’t worry, I know what’s going on.”
Erica and Liliana looked at each other, feeling helpless. They really had no way to deal with Li Qing’s behavior.
However, neither of them gave up. They made up their minds that they must persuade Li Qing. The God of Disobedience should not be underestimated.
Li Qing didn’t care, because he was not an ordinary godslayer, his power was only a part of his strength, so even if Athena knew all his powers, it didn’t matter, because that was only the tip of the iceberg of his strength. If Athena dealt with him according to this, she would suffer a great loss.
So Li Qing was not in a hurry at all.
However, Erica and Liliana were very anxious and kept persuading Li Qing on the way, which made Li Qing helpless. However, he also knew that they were doing it for his own good, so Li Qing nodded in the end: “I know, I will pay attention, but now don’t you want to find a place that can be used as a battlefield first? And you have always said that it is better to strike first. Do you know where Athena is? What if she stays in a crowded place? Will you also strike first then? Don’t care about the lives of those people?”
Erica and Liliana were both stunned when these words were spoken, and then they reacted with a look of astonishment.
They really hadn’t thought about it so deeply just now, but now they reacted after what Li Qing said and realized that this was indeed not an easy thing to do. It was indeed a good idea to strike first, but the key was whether this method could be implemented, and now it seemed that it was not so easy to implement.
The two looked at each other, both a little bewildered.
“So let’s just wait and see.” Li Qing said again.
Erica and Liliana were very helpless.
After that, they returned to Erica’s place and sat down in the living room. Erica and Liliana were still thinking about how to break the deadlock and solve the troubles brought by Athena. Li Qing poured himself a cup of tea and sat there drinking it slowly.
Then suddenly Erica’s voice came: “Let’s lure the snake out of its hole.”
“How to lead?” Li Qing asked.
Erica said directly: “Use the Gorgon Stone as bait to lure Athena out, and then take advantage of the opportunity to attack.”
Li Qing nodded: “Good idea!”
Then he asked, “How do we set this trap? How can we be sure that Athena will fall for it?”
“Put your brain together,” Erica said.
It means I haven’t thought about it yet.
Li Qing rolled his eyes speechlessly: “Then think about it slowly.”
