Chapter 36 [Mythological Drama] matche16

Encore took the little god of wine Dionysus to the homeland of the goddess Hera, the island of Euboea, a cold and remote primitive tribe in the northern frontier of Macedonia, a small island surrounded by the sea and belonging to the once-prosperous city-state of Peotia, which had tens of thousands of fanatical followers of the goddess Hera. The tyrant of the city-state is named Catajon, and he can be said to be a "Hera fan". When the god-king couple was divorcing, Catyron had led the crowd to hold a large-scale sacrifice in the local temple of the goddess Hera, and now it should have been two years ago, but after the divorce of the god-king couple, Catheron has been preparing for the return of the goddess Hera, carefully selecting the chief priest and attendants, stockpiling abundant grain, cattle and sheep, and ordering the renovation of the temple of Hera on the island of Euboea.

Encore carried the hungry and weeping Dionysus in her arms and wandered aimlessly in the crowd of people dressed in animal skins, she was still in the same dress that escaped from the palace of Thebais, no one knew her, and no one knew who the child in her arms was, in order not to let the shrewd Hermes find out their whereabouts, Encore would not reveal her name in front of the fanatical admirers of the goddess Hera, she had to wait for night to fall, so that she could get a house out of her carry-on space at night, and see if there was any baby milk or something.

After seventy days of thunder and fire in Asia Minor, not a single crop could be harvested in the autumn of the harvest, herds of domestic animals were infected with the disease and torn apart by hungry hounds, and the people afflicted by famine rushed out of their bare homes with their children and the elderly, digging underground plant roots to feed their stomachs, and the lack of food even spread to the remote island of Euboea.

People who live in the era of modern society and the people who have enough food and clothing can never imagine this tragic scene, Encore really can't stand it, she opened the space to take out all the materials that she has worked hard to cultivate to help the disaster, in fact, she is not engaged in any disaster relief, she just wants to make her heart feel better, but she inadvertently gained a reputation among the people, and it produced a rapid diffusion effect, almost overnight became famous. Even the tyrant Kataijon heard of her deeds. The Kateron king, who could not hold his face, finally ordered that the sacrifices and supplies prepared for the goddess Hera be taken out to relieve the famine, so that the people could survive the coming harsh winter. However, after all the materials in the space were distributed, Encore looked at the system's pitiful 10 favorites and 0 space-time spells, and felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. ()

When the king of Catalon heard that Anke had emigrated from the southern city-states, he invited her with the courtesy of a state guest, and planned to present her with the honor of being a priestess. In other people's territory, it has to be managed, and Encore, who has no time and space curse, has to work hard to be a superior citizen, not to mention that the materials in the space are gone, the favorability of the scumbag cannot be improved in a short period of time, the drip rate of the nutrient solution is super slow, and even the baby pacifier can't be produced, and Encore has to wait to receive the national salary to live.

It's just that the king of Cataeon is a very talkative old man, and he looks at little Dionysus who is fiddling with a rattle in Encore's arms, and can't help but think of a vicissitudes of the past. Catajon did not hesitate to tell Encore, an alien resident, and this happened to solve a mystery that had haunted Encore for a long time.

Why did Zeus love Semehl so much?

In the dark and long years of the outbreak of the Titan's wars, Zeus, who fought alongside his brothers, had already revealed his merry nature, and he fell in love with his sister, the beautiful and plump goddess of grain, Demeter. They did not have a wedding, and later the goddess Demeter gave birth to a daughter named Persephone for Zeus. As soon as she was born, Persephone was round and jade, as bright as light, and Zeus prophesied that she would be the most beautiful girl in the heavenly realm. But Demeter, the goddess of cereals, who was watching from the sidelines, sensed possessiveness in Zeus's eyes. The goddess Demeter hid her newborn daughter in a cave and prevented Zeus from seeing her.

But later, Zeus, who was not in a bad mood, tried his best to find the entrance to the cave, and saw the girl Persephone swimming in the deep pool with Athena, Aphrodite and other sisters, Zeus turned into a giant dragon and burrowed into the deep pool, and swept Persephone into the deeper waters, and when Athena and Aphrodite and others found out about the situation, the terrified Persephone had been taken away from her virginity by the dragon for no apparent reason.

Persephone then gave birth to a son with dragon horns on his head, named Zagreus. The child was born for a few days and could speak, walk, ride the clouds, and be very assertive, he felt that he was not an unknown mediocre person, so he flew alone to the sacred mountain of Olympus to recognize his ancestors while his young mother was asleep!

Zagreos, with two small horns, first came to Zeus's temple, and when he found that the throne of the god-king was very fond of it, he climbed onto Zeus's golden seat and touched the staff of thunder leaning on the back of the chair with his immature little fat hand. The Staff of Thunder, knowing that this extraordinary infant must be inextricably linked to his master, showed respect and obedience to him, and willingly picked it up by him. Just as Zagreos was wielding the Staff of Thunder and humming from his mouth, Zeus walked in from outside.

The little baby, the horned son and grandson, did not recognize Zeus, the god-king who was also his father and grandfather, and pointed the staff of thunder at Zeus to give orders. Instead of getting angry, Zeus happily picked up the bare-bottomed milk doll, prophesiing that the child was the only candidate to succeed him.

Although there were many low-ranking gods who hid on the eaves of Zeus's temple at that time and saw this scene, it was Nemesis that jealous maniac who couldn't help but tell Hera, the queen of heaven, about it. Hera, the nervous queen of heaven had a premonition that her position would be precarious due to the birth of this child, so she gathered all the giants to hunt down the baby. In the process, Zeus implemented all-out protection measures for Zagreos, and Zagreos could change into various forms to escape with the characteristics of a dragon, which made the giants at a loss. But Zagreos was a baby after all, and Hera, the queen of heaven, had the giants tempt him with all kinds of toys, including rattles. Although Zagreos resisted the temptation of the rattle, he was caught by a small mirror, and when he looked at himself in the mirror and became a nymphomaniac for a moment, the giants took advantage of the opportunity to easily catch him.

Then he was miserable. The giants dismantled him, peeled and deboned him, roasted him on a fire until he was charred and oily, and sprinkled with salt, chili and cumin...... And then you get the idea. In the midst of a pile of discarded entrails, the kind-hearted Athena found Zagreos' heart, which still had a faint heartbeat, and gave it to Zeus in a hurry. Zeus swallowed it into the belly of the god in one gulp, thus preserving the soul of Zagreos.

When Zeus was united with Princess Semere, Zeus put the soul of Zagreos into Semere's womb, so the child born to Semele was the reincarnation of Zeus's heir to the throne, Zagreus, Dionysus. Zeus favored Semere, because he knew that it was his son Zagreos who ruled his mother with the temperament of a king, and the tragic death of Zagreos caused the gentle and quiet princess Semere's temperament to change greatly after she became pregnant, and she vowed to be inseparable from Hera.

Therefore, in the final analysis, it is the scumbag who is to blame.

Such a tossed plot and such a heavy past are like an old black-and-white silent movie ending in front of Encore's eyes. The Cataeon king was silent after he had finished speaking this karma, and Encore seemed to have just returned from a distant time, in the solemn temple of Hera, beside him sat the Cataeon king and several elders of the primitive tribes, the rattle was shaken disorderly by a small fat hand, and she looked down at the immature face of Dionysus, and an inexplicable sadness haunted her heart. Originally, Anke wanted to borrow this child to improve the scumbag's favorability, but now, she is full of regret and shame for this child.

In the Peotia calendar, this year's winter was at least two months earlier and without warning, and the heavy snow in the early morning sealed the doors and windows of the commoners' homes. Living on earth is not as cool as living in the sky, this winter is as long as a century, and Anke, who has completely lost contact with the heavenly realm, always involuntarily wanders in the days when children cry and dogs bark, and the snow hanging on the trees reminds her of Zeus's long hair, and the haze in the sky reminds her of Zeus's stinky face. She held her chin and wondered, where did this guy run away after setting the fire?

Dionysus took a pacifier in his mouth and stretched his fleshy little hand to Encore's chest. Encore grabbed it and pretended to jerk it twice, and said, "Don't be as lustful as your dad!" Although he didn't use any force at all, a red mark suddenly appeared on his sausage-like arm.

Anke wondered, why didn't he speak, fly, and walk like he was when he was born like in his previous life? Maybe it's because his mother is a mortal in this life...... Encore was trying to come up with a plausible explanation, when suddenly she saw a bracelet made of ivy hanging from the head of the bed. Hey?

How can there be ivy here?

Encore strangely took off the bracelet and took a closer look, it was so delicately braided! But who put this here? She looked at Dionysus again, who pretended to be fine...... Damn, won't you?!

Encore pulled out his pacifier, held the ivy bracelet in front of his eyes, and asked sternly, "Did you make this up?" ”

Dionysus's glass-like eyes were quickly refreshed twice, twice, and again, and brush...... Every time Chu Chu is pitiful, Encore found that this child's trick of selling cuteness and begging for support is exactly the same as his old son, and Encore returned the pacifier to him, since he doesn't want to talk yet, let's see how long he can hold it.

Encore found that this little guy was particularly afraid of looking in the mirror, because there were too many shadows left by the encounters in his previous life. The rattle is his favorite, no, the pacifier is his favorite, followed by the rattle. Thankfully, the nutrient solution in the space could barely grow a few pacifiers, and Encore's favorite chocolate had to be temporarily discontinued
