Volume 20 Chapter 12: Fool

I had thought of Hades' concern for Hades for a long time, but Hades's thoughts were different. It was indeed strange that Aphrodite suddenly ran back to the Olympus tribe, and after she returned, she came into contact with various Olympus tribe members and talked about some inscriptions with them. These are all behaviors that would attract others' attention. But what if she was noticed?

Aphrodite has a very strong relationship with the Olympus tribe, and her status is not low. Unless Zeus is determined to kill her, the ordinary Olympus tribe gods will at most investigate first even if they have any suspicion. If they really want to do it, they will have to wait until the information is investigated thoroughly before they can start. However, our plan will start to operate in two or three days or one week later. Even if the other party conducts serious investigations, they will not find anything at all. After all, the time is too short.

Because of this idea, I don't care whether Aphrodite will be suspected. As long as she is willing to help us, she can just make up a lie that is difficult to escape. If it really doesn't work, we can even cooperate with her to make up a trick, so that the credibility will be higher. Although no matter how we act, this lie will be exposed, we don't expect to be exposed forever. As long as this lie can last for more than a week, it is enough for us.

When Hades raised his questions, several other gods of chaos and order expressed their concerns, and I expressed my point of view. After listening, everyone pondered for a while, and then said that this plan was feasible. After all, we only needed to deceive those Olympian gods for a week. As Aphrodite's identity in such a short time, it would be difficult for people to find any substantial problems. When they really found out, we would have finished the work and evacuated. At that time, they would not be able to find anyone to deal with Aphrodite.

Since everyone accepted this plan, I immediately started to take action. The first thing I had to do was to ask whether Aphrodite was willing to accept our delegation. Of course, this matter could not be carried out through equal consultation. After all, Aphrodite is half of our prisoner now, and it is impossible for her to communicate with her existence in an equal way.

When I met Aphrodite, she was studying a magic note alone. This thing is one of the technical materials from our guild library. The book Aphrodite read is just a peripheral reading, but it introduces many techniques in detail. Speaking of which, the magic method used by the Olympus tribe is relatively rough, and there are few attentions to technical matters. Therefore, this kind of reading is quite useful for Olympus tribes like Aphrodite.

When Aphrodite heard the sound of the door opening, she immediately turned around, but after seeing me, she immediately frowned. However, because of the last time I intimidated her, she did not show too much behavior.

After staring at me for a while, Aphrodite finally decided to play passive resistance with me in a non-violent and non-cooperating manner. She just looked straight at me without saying a word. Of course, I wouldn't care about her behavior that was almost like a child's temper.

"Are you still unwilling to cooperate with us?" I asked, looking at Aphrodite, who was sitting there with an angry look, deliberately sitting in the chair opposite her.

Aphrodite stared at me for a while, but still said nothing, obviously intending to carry out non-violent non-cooperation to the end.

Seeing that she still didn't respond, I said myself: "I think you know more about the current situation of the Olympus tribe than me. Without the help of Hades and the others, the Olympus tribe must have lost a large part of its power. But I think although this is a loss, it is not a bad thing for the Olympus tribe."

Aphrodite, who had never spoken, immediately became smart after hearing my words. She looked clearly that she wanted to speak, but she swallowed it back when she spoke. Although she still didn't say a word, I knew that her attention had been attracted by me successfully.

"I know you must think what I said is unreliable, but this is the fact. Hades and the others were able to defect, which means that their minds were no longer with Zeus. This time they just let them leave the Olympus tribe, which was just a loss of power for the Olympus tribe. But have you ever thought that if Hades and his God of Underworld suddenly turned against each other when the two major temples of Light and Darkness in Europe fought head-on with the Olympus tribe, what would the Olympus tribe lose?"

Hearing my words, Aphrodite's body shook violently, and I knew she had thought of the consequences. I did not continue to speak, but gave her time to think. After waiting for about a few minutes, Aphrodite finally couldn't help but speak.

"What are you telling me about this? Whether Hades's defection is good or bad for the Olympian tribe, it has already happened. Does it make sense to discuss such a thing?"

"Yes, it's really not worth discussing something that has happened, but what if it's about to happen?"

"What do you mean?" Aphrodite asked nervously at me.

I deliberately waited for a while, and until Aphrodite was about to get angry, he suddenly continued: "Actually, you should know very well that the Olympus tribe cannot be a united whole. There must be some, and even a large group of people who do not want to stay in the Olympus tribe. These people are like Hades, they are time bombs buried in the Olympus tribe. The only difference is that Hades bomb left the Olympus tribe without explosion, while the remaining bombs are still hidden inside the Olympus tribe, waiting for the opportunity to explode."

"What do you mean to do?" Although Aphrodite is not very smart among the gods, she is definitely not a fool. She knows that I will not tell her these things for no reason.

Since Aphrodite asked on his own initiative, I simply said: "My purpose is very simple. I want to help the Olympus tribe find these time bombs."

"Will you be so good? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Aphrodite said to me with contempt.

I turned a blind eye to Aphrodite's mockery and continued: "No matter what my starting point is, my purpose is to find these time bombs and clear them from the Olympus tribe, which I can guarantee."

Although Aphrodite is not very good at all conspiracies and tricks, she is somewhat aware of the situation. After hearing what I said, she soon thought of the reason. "You want to pull these people into your guild like Hades?"

Because the next thing requires Aphrodite's comprehensive cooperation, I didn't plan to lie to her. As soon as she asked me, she nodded and said, "Yes, I just want to dig these people into our guild. Staying in the Olympus tribe is a hidden danger sooner or later. Now they don't take action just because there is no chance. Once they are ready to take action, it must be that the Olympus tribe has encountered a huge crisis of the extinction of the clan. At this moment, if something goes wrong inside, you know what the consequences will be."

Aphrodite thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "You told me that these must be what I want me to do, so what do you want me to do?"

I smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a complicated matter. I just want you to explore the tone of everyone in the Olympus tribe to see if they are dissatisfied with the Olympus tribe itself or have the possibility of rebellion."

"That's that simple?" Aphrodite instinctively felt that what I did could not be so gentle, but what I said was indeed not harmful. It was like a simple tendency investigation within the Olympus tribe. If it weren't for the stiff relationship between me and the Olympus tribe, even if he had said this request directly to Zeus, he might have executed it, even more than the investigation I requested. However, although Aphrodite did not understand what benefits this would be for me, she was not so stupid that she agreed immediately. She asked again: "I don't believe you would be so kind to help the Olympus tribe eliminate traitors."

"I said before, I am not going to do good things, I want to dig these people into our guild. If the Olympus tribe goes directly to investigate, I will definitely not find out a few people. Most of the people who may be rebel will hide. Moreover, this in-depth investigation will inevitably affect internal unity, which is absolutely not worth the loss for you. But as long as you investigate a rough situation, just to find out a little, and then I will contact these people. In the end, those who are willing to leave will inevitably be rebellious. If you refuse to leave, they will be loyal to the Olympus tribe in the future. You can leave your Olympus tribe with confidence. In this way, will you become more united and unified? Of course, I have also gained benefits from it. At least those gods who have left the Olympus tribe have become my subordinates. How about it? Is this situation a win-win situation?"

Aphrodite was a little dizzy when I said it. What I said seemed to be beneficial to the Olympus tribe, and my motivation was also obvious, and there was nothing hidden. But if you think about it carefully, Aphrodite felt that something was wrong, and she just couldn't figure it out for a moment.

I know Aphrodite is going to be in a mess at this time, so I deliberately didn't give her time to think, and then threw out the bait. "Don't worry, this plan is good for us and the Olympus tribe, and even for yourself. We can sign a guarantee agreement with you, we release you and let you return to the Olympus tribe. As a transaction, you must help us find out the words of the Olympus tribe. After that, you hand over the list of which gods may be rebellious and will have no relationship in the future. What do you think of this proposal?" Seeing that Aphrodite was a little hesitant, I directly added: "Don't worry, we will release you first so that you can help us investigate the information. Even if you want to breach the contract, it will be yours to pay the price first. What else can you do if you have any fear?"...
