Artemis was not wrong about Tomyris.
Naturally, I thought that I would not be wrong about Hilde.
And Tomyris also walked behind Artemis.
"Master Artemis..."
"what happened?"
"Will you stay here in the future?"
"That's hard to say. I'm a god, the god of Olympus. To be more precise, I'm your enemy now..."
"Will not!"
Tomyris immediately retorted, "Lady Artemis is not our enemy."
"That's hard to say."
Artemis sighed.
"The situation is getting more and more complicated... Poseidon and Hades have both come forward, and it seems that they are planning to break off relations with Zeus. Although we have more allies, which is a good thing, I am a little worried that Poseidon and Hades will want to seize the Genesis Library in the future. Zeus has made me see through the hypocrisy of the gods, and I don't trust Poseidon and Hades either. What will the world be like at that time? So, no one can say for sure."
"That's right."
Artemis worries.
It's not that Tomyris didn't understand.
She tightly grasped the fork in her hand, the dark metallic luster seemed so dim in the sunlight.
This double-pronged fork was telling Tomyris that she was now the oracle of Hades, the god of the underworld, and even a demigod who inherited Hades' power, and had nothing to do with Artemis. Thinking of this, Tomyris couldn't help but feel depressed. She looked at Artemis in front of her and asked, "Lord Artemis, although I am now the oracle of Hades, in my heart, you are my only oracle, so please treat me as you did before."
"No way."
Artemis smiled and shook her head.
"You can't be so greedy."
"But……"
"I am your friend now, not your god anymore."
friend……?
For some reason, Tomyris always felt that this word, which should have been beautiful, now seemed a little strange.
Artemis turned around, reached out her hand, gently stroked Tomyris' head, and said with a smile: "Maybe, it is indeed cruel to say this, but for me, when I faced Hades and gave up on you, I had already given up on my identity as your god. You are very good, and you are favored by Hades, which shows that you are indeed a good seedling, and I am not worthy of you. However, I have committed the crime of betraying my friend, but I can still get your forgiveness. For me, it is a great honor to be your friend."
“There is no such thing!”
Tomyris quickly retorted:
"You, you did nothing wrong!"
"But I disappointed you and made you sad."
"That's my problem! I didn't control my emotions at that time..."
"Don't blame yourself."
Artemis placed her hand gently on Tomyris' lips.
Her gentle smile made Tomylis feel sad at this moment.
"I am a responsible god. My mistakes are my mistakes. Even if I have been forgiven, the mistakes still exist. Don't worry, I will not leave. At least, I want to see with my own eyes what direction this world will develop in, and what direction Hilde and her original book of creation will take this world in. And I will stand on the side that I think is right. I will help whoever can bring shelter and well-being to the vast majority of people in this world."
"Yes Yes……"
Tomyris shook her head.
Suppress the urge to cry.
"I see!"
"But, Tomyris, you must have your own judgment, and you must also be clear about what goal you are heading towards. You must know that you are not my appendage, and you do not need to obey me all the time. We are friends and equals. When one day we have to stand on opposite sides, Tomyris, I hope that at that time, you should stick to your ideals, not me. If I do something that you think is wrong, you must also pick up your fork, point it at me, and correct my mistakes."
"Yes!"
Tomyris nodded heavily.
"I'll do it!"
"Ah That's good."
Looking at Tomyris's sure look.
Artemis was also relieved.
The third key, the tenth section, is beginning to change for the better
But just now, what Artemis said.
But it made Tomyris feel extremely worried.
yes……
What should we do if one day Artemis stands against Hilde and Tomyris?
This problem has not been unsolved before. Long before, when the Olympian gods just started to act, Artemis was forced to act with Ares. If Hilde and Tomyris met Artemis at that time, they would be on the opposite side. Tomyris had not thought deeply about this problem before, because she didn't like such problems very much. Now, Tomyris is the oracle of Hades. As Artemis said, there is no relationship between her and Artemis anymore.
So, what if this really happened?
What should I do myself?
Tomyris didn't dare to think about such a question.
"Tomyris, don't let your imagination run wild."
Artemis seemed to sense Tomyris's hesitation.
She reached out and patted Tomyris on the shoulder.
"You can still think about it after it happens. If you waste your energy thinking about these irrelevant issues now, then if it doesn't happen, it will be a waste of effort."
"No, it's not going to happen!"
"Yeah, I don't think that will happen either."
Artemis gently cupped Tomyris's face.
Looking at her still slightly childish face, Artemis smiled like a mother looking at her daughter.
The relationship between the two is indeed very similar.
Artemis sometimes wondered, if Athena was here, would her attitude towards Hilde be similar to her attitude towards Tomyris? Hilde, who was tough, smart and courageous, should be favored by Athena. Thinking of this, Artemis gently stroked Tomyris's cheek and said, "What you have to do now is to assist Hilde and help her overcome the current difficulties. You are all human beings. Now, resisting Zeus's tyranny is not only for yourselves, but also for all human beings."
"Yes! I understand!"
Tomyris nodded firmly.
"That's good."
"So, Master Artemis, please give me your guidance in the future."
A faint smile appeared on Tomyris's face.
The sentence "Please give me more advice" is actually saying that the two of them start to get along again with new identities.
----------
noon.
Although Sophia had just returned, Hilde quickly returned to work. Her work status was very good and her mood was significantly improved compared to before. Alcibiades was still curious about what happened. When he saw Princess Sophia appear next to Hilde, he now understood. Princess Sophia... no, to be precise, the return of Princess Sophia was like a shot of adrenaline for Hilde. It directly cheered up the depressed Hilde.
And Hield is extremely efficient.
Some problems arise in the policy of equal distribution of land.
They've all been cleaned up.
Hilde was not surprised that during the process of equal distribution of land, some nobles still showed unsatisfactory behavior, including but not limited to privately keeping slaves, or deliberately spreading lime or other things on the farmland when leaving the farmland to destroy the quality of the land. Some nobles could not accept that the land that originally belonged to them was now distributed to the poor and slaves, so they would rather destroy these things than hand over the land to Hilde in peace.
Then this is...
Hildre looked at Alcibiades's return.
I was so angry that I laughed.
"Are these people children?"
"It's really childish."
Alcibiades couldn't help laughing:
"When I learned about this situation, I also thought it was too ridiculous."
"It's absurd, but for the farmers who have been allocated land and are ready to start a new life, this joke is not funny." The smile on Hilde's face became brighter, as if he had seen something very funny. When Sophia, who was standing next to Hilde, saw this scene, she also understood in her heart that when Hilde showed such a smile, it basically meant that Hilde was going to kill someone next.
And Alcibiades understood what he meant.
"Your Majesty, I will go and arrest all these people right now."
"Right away, this afternoon, I want to meet everyone involved in this matter."
"So, their families?"
"Catch them all."
Hilde just waved his hand.
But from these simple words, there is no doubt that what is about to unfold is a bloody storm.
After Alcibiades left, Sophia walked over to Hilde and gently massaged her neck and shoulders. "Sissi, don't be angry. Although this is indeed excessive, it will not be worth it if I make you angry."
"Sofia."
"what's wrong?"
"Kill all these guys, is there a problem?"
"No problem."
Sophia did not stop Hilde.
Instead, she smiled and said, "Byzantium... No, the foundation of the Greek Empire is merchants, farmers, and soldiers, not nobles. Sissi, you have given them a chance to live a prosperous life, but they don't appreciate it. In this case, you should take some conventional measures to warn them, so as to demonstrate your authority."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
Hilde smiled coldly.
In their hearts, those nobles had basically been sentenced to death.
According to Alcibiades' report, they sprinkled salt, lime, or other things on the land, making some land temporarily uncultivable. In order to bury their traces, these people also covered the land with soil. The farmers who got the farmland just wanted to cultivate it, but found white crystals or hard lumps in the land. When they turned it over, they found that these guys had done something wrong. Although the final statistics of the affected farmland only added up to 200 to 300 acres, it was already a very bad situation.
Hilde stood up.
"I'm going out of town to take a look."
"Then I'll go with you."
"Okay."
Hilde turned around, reached out and held Sophia's hand.
"Let's go to the suburbs and relax."
"Ok!"
Although he said he wanted to relax, Hilde just wanted to see what the victim's situation was like.
Hilde really didn't expect what happened today.
Chapter 4: The Emperor Visits the Countryside
Hilde had experienced the narrow-mindedness of the nobles. As early as the Byzantine city, Hilde and the nobles had been at odds with each other. Although the Byzantine nobles gave Hilde great support, Hilde actually never regarded them as her own people. However, for the Byzantine nobles who cooperated quite well, Hilde's attitude was to transform them, that is, to weaken the rights of the nobles and transform them from the noble class to other classes. For example, let these nobles engage in business investment, or become officers, so as to change their class.
But the Athenian nobility was different.
Why should Hilde give face to the Athenian nobles?
After all, the Byzantine nobles were die-hard fans of Hilde and made great contributions to the establishment of the Byzantine Kingdom.
What else did the Athenian nobles do besides exploitation?
