Chapter 279 - 279: Artemis And Van

"Are all of these necessary?"

3 hours before Dionysus's rando that filled the tavern The first person that Dionysus met in the New Wall city was none other than President Nisha herself And in soained a connection as Nisha had beco the President was nonchalantly thrown to hiained permission from the city's leader," Dionysus waved his hands without care as several vines grew inside the tavern, "You are in luck, Mr Pub Owner," Dionysus then looked at the old fateverywhere

"I gift upon you unlirow this pathetic and dilapidated bar of yours"

"Thanks?" Although the pub owner didn't really knohat to take of Dionysus's words, he still let out a chuckle If it was true that the fountain that just eed in the center of his tavern produced unlimited wine, then he would surely profit from it

"Artemis, tell him that this is a ridiculous idea"

"I think it is fine"

Alas, Athena's voice quickly got overruled as even Arteht But of course, Arte to find out, since as soon as the crowd started to gather inside, she quickly left the tavern because of all the clamor and noise

But before she could leave, however, she was cornered by Dionysus and was forced to chug… a nulasses As Olyn, they weren't built to withstand the effects of alcohol, even those made by mortals

Perhaps it was also a reflection of their recklessness as Gods They were too carefree, causing the destruction of their world as they gave birth to thousands of offspring, absorbing all the essence of their universe with each celestial birth

And so, Artelasses of wine, walked out of the tavern so with every ani about her There were also unfortunate souls that tried to approach and hit on her but suffice to say, they were thrown to the garbage, alive, of course

But still, she could not help but feel slightly conscious of the stares being given to her by the citizens of the New Wall So she chose a stable that was isolated from the rest of the establishments

"There aren't a lot of you left, are there?"

As soon as the gryphons in the stable heard Arte as their confusion slightly dawned over their little brains Was this huht

But as soon as they felt so from Artemis, their confusion turned into comfort as they all leaned over their heads towards her, allowing her to pet all of them

"You children are like h as a small tear trailed from her eye, "There aren't , there would be even less I don't know if following King Van's plan is the right thing to do, but out of all of us, he is the only one that has the power to choose who lives or dies"

"King Van? Lives or dies?" The gryphons looked at each other Although Arteence was still limited to their certain capability

"Some of my kin caused the destruction of my… home, you see It was all of your hoh, "And noill be choosing who aet to live based on howall of these to you guys? I think I as"

Arteroan in frustration as she saw the tilting heads of the gryphons But afterward, another long and deep sigh cauys are the lucky ones You actually get to start a new life here without anyone judging you… you do not even know that you have lost your hoh, stupid Dionysus All that alcohol should not be consu to hallucinate"

Arte to cloud her vision Did Dionysus perhaps put a little bit of Hypnos's pee in the wine again? The last ti her to drea past Now she really wanted to puke

"Artemis"

But before she puked, a familiar voice called for her from behind She turned around, only to see Van slowly approaching her Perhaps it ht be the alcohol, but Van seemed taller for some reason

"" Maybe this was a hallucination? Arte Van, what are you doing here?"

Right, Van should be in the party right now discussing how to retrieve Her it

And so, with that thought, Artehout their talk, Van see that Van didn't really do This further solidifies her theory that Van really wasn't in front of her and only an illusion Yup, yup, must be
