The Goddess Of War

Chapter 227 - Lorelei

"Who's there?" ask Anna in a soft voice.

He acted very carefully and stood with full vigilance.

So did the god Ogun and the goddess Ezili who immediately jumped back and prepared on the left and right sides of Anna.

"I'm sorry if it surprised you. But I have no intention of fighting or anything" said the creature as he walked up to Anna.

It was only after she was about 2 meters in front of Anna that Anna was finally able to see a bit of the human-like creature's face.

Although from the forehead to her hair covered with a hood from her long robe, Anna can still see the beauty of the face of the creature.

The look in his calm and deep eyes somehow made the heart feel calm. Almost instantly, Anna also nearly lost her vigilance.

In contrast to the way the creature surprised her earlier, Anna instead felt a little calm when she looked directly at him.

"It's nice to meet you, the duplicate Earth creature of the goddess Ann." said the veiled woman.

"W-what? How do you know?!"

Anna had a surprised expression upon hearing that very precise greeting.

"Lorelei?!" exclaimed the goddess Ezili, when she could see the face of a beautiful woman who had just been hit by the dim light of a torch from outside the wooden bars of a holding cell.

The hooded woman looked at the otter who was standing on the left side near Anna's feet.

"I was a little surprised when I heard your voice. Are you the goddess Ezili?" the woman asked, smiling warmly at the goddess Ezili.

"You... How did you get here?" the Ogun God was no less shocked than the goddess Ezili.

"It seems I didn't misidentify, did I? You two are in disguise, the god Ogun, the goddess Ezili?"

"Yes. You alone, what are you doing here?" ask the god Ogun again.

Lorelei averted her gaze and looked straight at Anna's confused face. "Just like all of you. You're looking for the goddess Lyn, right?"

"How did you know?" ask goddess Ezili.

"Astareth and Mammon made a trail that made me guess that the goddess Lyn was here."

"You met them?" it was the turn of the Ogun god to ask.

"Yes. I accidentally met them."

"But..., aren't you in a long hermitage? Doesn't it matter that you leave your hermitage?"

Lorelei smiled.

"My grandson made a noise. How can I just shut up?"

"Sorry to cut," said Anna, who felt neglected, "Please tell me first. Who the hell is this?" anna asked the goddess Ezili. Only he knows nothing here.

Goddess Ezili jumped up onto Anna's left shoulder. "He was the sword teacher of the goddess Ann, the angel Lorelei," said the goddess Ezili. His voice sounds cheerful.

"What?!"

Anna turned to Lorelei again and looked at her properly.

'If he's my teacher's teacher, shouldn't I kneel down to salute him and greet him?'

Following what he thought, Anna finally bowed and kneeled before Lorelei.

"I'm Anna. The indirect disciple of the goddess Ann. Nice to meet the teacher's grandmother!" anna said with a very respectful voice and attitude.

Anna's polite demeanor instead made Lorelei and the two cute animals laugh.

With a puzzled face, Anna looked at the three. "W-Is there anything funny?"

"Where did you learn this attitude from?" lorelei asked in between her laughter.

Anna recalled the Chinese films she had seen while still in school.

"Is it usually not like this?" asked Anna with a plain face.

"Stand up" asked Lorelei, holding Anna's hands and helping her to her feet.

"Thank you..," said Anna with a blushed face. "She was very friendly" Anna thought, stealing a glance at the angel's face.

'Her face looks like a famous actress. Is the actress' face a clone of hers?'

"I will receive your tribute later when all the necessary items are available." Lorelei said with a warm smile to Anna. He greatly appreciated the courteous attitude of his disciple's grandson.

"Yes?"

"You should oil your teacher's feet and clean them with a clean white cloth. That's how to say hello to the teacher, especially to the teacher's grandfather or grandmother." Goddess Ezili explained.

Anna remained silent.

'It turns out their culture is very troublesome.'

Anna and Lorelei finally sat on the cold floor of the cave, while the goddess Ezili and the god Ogun chose to perch on Anna's shoulders.

"So, how did your story get here?" ask goddess Ezili.

Lorelei finally started telling stories.

"I heard the news that my grandson was involved in a conspiracy of lost angels. Initially, I wanted to meet the goddess Lyn and the goddess Ann to ask permission to punish my own granddaughter. But the great god Arnix says that they've gone to the vortex to solve his problem,"

"When I went there, I saw that the human planet was in chaos. I immediately suspected that something had happened to the goddess Lyn, because the magic gate that should not have been on Earth was still there. The suspicion grew because I also could not feel the energy of the Mana goddess Lyn at all there."

"Then, how did you get here?" asked the goddess Ezili once again, curious about it.

"I accidentally met with Astareth and Mammon while they were burning down a human cave hideout."

"I want to pursue them. But I had to save a child who was badly injured in the great fire they set, so I lost track of those two lost angels,"

"But, I finally knew that Lucifer had deflected the portal through which the goddess Lyn passed, from the traces of magic that Astareth and Mammon had once made. That's why I ended up following up to this place because I knew the goddess Ann and the god Erv were not allowed to go to the other gods' dominions. I want to help the goddess Lyn come back and show the goddess Ann the way to hunt down the traitors."

Lorelei then turned to Anna who was sitting right next to her, "It turns out that the goddess Ann also sent her disciple to look for the goddess Lyn. I'm so happy to meet you, man."

Seeing the angel's warm smile, Anna suddenly blushed.

"I'm also happy to meet you, the teacher's grandmother," said Anna politely, glancing at the grandmother's pretty face.

Lorelei sensed that there was something strange about Anna's gaze, so she asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Anna smiled awkwardly. Then, slightly embarrassed, he asked, "Did the gods and angels not age?"

"Hm?"

"Your face and the goddess Ann also looked like the face of a girl in her twenties," Anna continued.

Lorelei laughing.

"If you have a chance, be happy. In the course of the lesson from the book of the god Arnix chapter five then you will know many hidden secrets of the universe. Including your physical condition that stopped aging since you were 20 years old," said the Ogun god, replacing Lorelei to explain.

"Huh? Stop aging?!" Anna's surprised.

"Yes." Yeah."

"You're serious?!" ask Anna not to believe it.

Beside Anna, Lorelei who also got the information just now from the Ogun god, instantly stopped her laughter. His eyes widened as he looked at Anna stunned, before he turned to the god Ogun and asked.

"He has mastered the book of the god Arnix and has he reached chapter five?" lorelei asked the Ogun god with a look of disbelief.

Lorelei could guess that Anna was locking up the Mana energy, which was why she could not sense any Mana energy from the girl's body. But she did not expect that the goddess Ann would teach her the extraordinary book of the god Arnix.
