"God of thunder and lightning, Lord of heaven and earth! Now that my parents who gave birth to me and raised me suspect that I lied to them, and they force me to show proof that you have slept with me, and I believe what you say, how can I prove our Supreme Union? Helpless, I only heard your terrible cow cry and snake hiss in the dark, and only saw your handsome face in the haze, turning into a beast and a bird of prey for a while! But who will believe these absurd details, and who will understand your * pranks? If I tell someone about this, I'm sure I'll be misunderstood as having sex with a goblin! What should I do, do I have to leave my belly away so that they can see that our unborn son has a pair of divine wings! Zeus, my husband, why are you silent! Have you forgotten poor Semer, and forgotten the oath you swore in this bed! ”

The words of Semer's prayer made the wayward god's heart like a knife, and now he did not say that human beings were shallow, nor did he complain that human beings were not good at patience, and he could no longer listen to a word of advice with a worried face. Hephaestus, who was sunburned, saw a man suffering from lovesickness, and he understood this feeling, and when he secretly fell in love with Aphrodite, the first beauty of the divine realm, he was ashamed of his limping ankle and ugly face for the first time, but lovesickness is a desperate desire to be satisfied*, it can make people hysterical, reckless, and at any cost.

Hephaestus knew that it was useless to say anything to the god-king at this time, so he left Zeus's bed without a word and went to Hera's bedchamber again. He saw that the goddess Hera was instructing the attendants to pack their bags, and all the daily utensils, clothes and jewelry were classified, and everything that was in the heavenly realm was not brought, and the attendants silently took the objects to Hera, the queen of heaven, to look at them, and then decided whether to take them or keep them according to her orders. After all, it is a 10,000-year marriage, and divorce is not an overnight thing, Hera never took anything with her when she ran away in a bad mood, because she knew that Zeus would find her wherever she went, and she didn't really want to leave him before, so he also knew that she wouldn't really go, and Encore was actually not rare in those jewelry, but she had to make a show to him, and indirectly told him that if she left this time, she wouldn't come back.

The qiē in the temple of the gods became dim, even the gold no longer shone, and the peacock sacred bird hovered and flew in the air, and the slender blue neck let out a mournful sound.

Hephaestus stepped forward quickly, knelt down on one knee in front of Encore, and clasped her arm with both hands: "My mother, this is not the time to be rash! Don't you know Thor's temperament, it's fresh for two and a half days, and there is no growth. So, please bear with me! ”

Encore looked down at this filial craftsman, he was ugly enough, but his eyes were very sincere, and his sincere eyes were beautiful. Encore rubbed his short curly hair and said with a smile, "I know, he doesn't grow with anyone, so I'm leaving him." But you have to stay here, and do your duty as before, for I promised not to start a war between the gods of the heavenly realm in the name of divorce. ”

Hephaestus burst into tears in his eyes, and his egg-sized Adam's apple rolled on his neck uncontrollably, knowing that he wanted to cry, and he didn't know that he choked for him. The goddess of love, Ferrotes, also came in a hurry, with the same expression of life and death as Hephaestus. Ferrotus was followed by many low-ranking gods who had been favored by or befriended by Hera in the past.

The goddess of friendship, Ferrotes, said sincerely: "O benevolent queen, I really don't want to hide from you, now the shape shì may be very unfavorable to you, but I must tell you that it was the psychopathic Nemesis who betrayed you, I am afraid that Thor will soon go to the lower realm to appease the crying Princess Semele, even the omniscient Thor will inevitably be exhausted by the tears of his lover, and a moment of partiality and partiality cannot forever blind Thor's discerning eyes and ears, please don't resent him, tolerate him with your broad mind, Please don't leave your husband because of Thor's momentary bewilderment! ”

Encore smiled without any pressure and said, "You are worthy of the goddess of friendship, my dear Ferrotus, and when I am gone, I hope that you will always be by Zeus's side to remind him not to leave him because of his momentary stupidity." As for me, I am not the embodiment of fraternity, and I have my position. ”

Ferrotes tried to continue the persuasion, but Encore didn't want to reaffirm her resolve, so she went over to the attendants and distributed what she had to bring or keep. Hephaestus was reluctant to leave. The others had no choice but to retreat silently.

For every minute spent in heaven, there is a long dark night on earth.

At dawn, a robin flew into the palace of Thebais. Princess Semele's prayer for the night was finally fulfilled, and she herself fell asleep crying. Zeus took the form of Prince Olympus and walked up to her, kissed her tear-stained cheek, and then gently picked her up and put her on the bed. Semerle, who was in a light sleep, woke up at this moment, and in the twilight of dawn she clearly saw this brilliant prince, tears of happiness welled up from her eyes again, and she found herself lying in the crook of his arm, his handsome face was only a stone's throw away from her, and at this moment she was sure that he was really Zeus!

Zeus stroked her round lower abdomen and said softly, "My princess, you have cried all night, and you don't want to think about the child in your belly?" ”

Seymler excitedly threw himself into his arms: "My bridegroom, you have finally come to reads;!" You are indeed the embodiment of Zeus! You really didn't lie to me! Now, I want my father and mother to see you, my sisters to see you, and the princes and grandsons of Theba. I am so proud to have a husband like you! ”

Zeus put a finger against her soft lips, lay sideways on her bedside, hugged her tightly with his strong arms, leaned down to kiss her passionately, and after a long and intense kiss, he said to her, "My little cutie, it's not time yet, have you forgotten our original agreement?" When you give birth to our son Dionysus, I will take you to Olympus, but before that you learn to be patient and promise me not to cry again, okay? ”

Shaking his head, Seymler said, "Why don't you prove our union to the world?" Is it because I am a descendant of Ares and Aphrodite? Whenever I see you, it's like a dream! You were once a horned bull carrying my aunt Europa on the seas, and her father and brother searched for her! Thou hast bestowed upon Nadae a splendid rain of gold, so that her father may see strange miracles." But why can't you prove to people that you are Zeus, so that I can raise my eyebrows from now on! ”

Zeus was silent, because he saw that Semele had the inevitable frivolity and shallowness of a young girl, but at the moment, he only thought with the lower half of his body, and he thought she was more cute. He nodded at Semerle's eyebrows, and said in a doting tone: "I really can't help you, I will teach you a spell to summon the divine envoy, and I am not allowed to say that I am a goblin in the future." ”

Semele was ecstatic to hold his face with both hands and send a fiery kiss. Zeus, the god-king who had left his family and business for love, told Semele the spell to summon Hermes, and told Hermes to obey two people from now on, one was himself and the other was his little mistress Semele. God made Hermes feel that his whole life was not good for having such a father and leadership. (a))

Satisfied, Semele snuggled up in Zeus's arms and fell asleep, she felt Zeus's warm arms gradually replaced by cold pillows, she quickly grabbed his shirt, and kept these penetrating eyes in her heart over and over again, but he could only stay for a while, the bed on which he had lie did not leave the slightest indentation, and the carpet he trampled on could not see any footprints, if it was a little later, Aurora, the goddess of dawn, would have to run to hide behind the mountains in the sky. The sun god Apollo was about to tighten the reins of the fire horse and drive the sun chariot back to the horizon, and the goddess of the evening stars, Hesperides, had to quickly put on the dress she had just taken off and rose to the west again, and the sleepy goddess of the night, Nix, had to use her hands to support her crow-like feathers to hide the dazzling light of the day, because Zeus did not want to make this relationship with Semele public now, and perhaps he had not yet made up his mind to divorce Hera.

Zeus returned to the sacred mountain of Olympus, and the goddess of love, Ferrotes, waited in front of the god-king's bedchamber for a long time, Zeus had already heard of the gamble of the three sisters, because they were just idle gods, so the god-king did not care about it. Ferrotus followed in the footsteps of Zeus into the temple and impatiently said, "Your Highness Thor, the Queen of Hera is packing up her things!" ”

Zeus chuckled: "Hmph, isn't she gone yet?" ”

Ferrotes quickly chased after a few steps, and then said, "Your Highness, don't you want to take a look, the Queen of Hera wants to take all the things that accompany the dowry!" ”

Zeus's footsteps stopped slightly, and he still said disdainfully: "I don't have to look at it, anyway, the things in her bedroom will have to be replaced, and I don't think my new wife will like what my ex-wife used." What do you say, Ferrotes? ”

Ferrotes' surprised expression made the goddess of discord and the goddess of quarrel hiding on the eaves particularly amused.

What surprised Ferrotus even more was that a celestial god went to the mortal world and happily took off his crown and put it on his finger in a circle?

Ferrotes no longer knew the god-king. （v-v）
