Chapter 24 [Mythological Drama] matche4
At the same time, Zeus, the god-king who was mad with love, was anxiously looking forward to the fall of night, and he felt that the time had become very long, and the falling sunset turned into an imperfect arc and slowly sank, leaving a tooth of gold in the depths of the mist, and the oblique fiery red light stung Zeus's ice-blue eyes.
He sat impatiently on the golden chair and shouted at Helios, the god of the sun, "O Helios in the chariot of fire! Do you know how crazy I am in love with Semele at the moment! Why didn't you drive the broken wagon below the horizon sooner, or to the other side of Okeanos? Could it be that Hesperis, the goddess of dusk, has not yet come to replace you? Could it be that Selene, the goddess of the seasons, has forgotten you? Could it be the grounded Hera calling you? If I had gone to the Nether sooner to meet the lovely Semele at the Midnight Feast in Thebais, then you would have gone to have your Cleymine reads sooner;! Stop pretending to be dutiful and wandering around the horizon, okay? Are you trying to torment me instead of Hera? If I summon the daughters of Miste, the god of mist, to cover you, I will crush your old carriage and toss you to the ground with a great fire of thunder and lightning! Confusing day and night! Stars and moons will rise in the midday sky! ”
Helios, the god of the sun, galloped from the eastern sky to the west as he did every day, and he was not slower than usual, but those who waited would find the time particularly difficult, and since he heard the expulsion of the god-king, Helios could only hurry to urge the carriage to call it a day, lest he anger the Lord of Thunder and Lightning, who was anxious and angry for his tryst with the Nether.
After the sun set on the horizon, the evening that connects day and night became a haunting ghost to the god-king Zeus.
He kept poking the ground with his golden scepter, and called out to the goddess of the night: "O belated Nix, since the sun has been driven away by me, tell me what are you still hesitating about?" I beg you to take Artemis by the hand and ascend to the palace of Cadmus, scatter the dim soft moonlight on the roofs of Semele, dress the beautiful Semele as the most charming girl of the night, gently tug at her heartstrings with the refreshing night breeze, and teach her to wait for the dream god-king to come to the palace at midnight, so as to capture the joy of her newborn elk. Dear Goddess Nix, please make this night long and tranquil, and cooperate with me to fulfill my long-cherished wish! ”
Nix, the goddess of the night, heard Zeus's earnest prayer to sit still, but before night fell, the evening was still very long, and she threw out a huge black pine cone to cover the entire gray-white sky, and the shadow that covered the sky and the sun made the heavens and the earth seem to enter the night in an instant, and she unfolded her wide long skirt to cover the edge of the black pine cone. Artemis, the goddess of the moon, also came to help, and she quickly ran under the hem of Nix's skirt with her long silver hair to comb her hair, and her hazy and feminine hair sprinkled like moonlight. The muses donned their gold-threaded garments and flew beneath the black hem of Nix's skirt to decorate the midnight starry sky. The gods did everything in their power to forge a perfect midnight for Zeus the Great.
The mortal people thought that the night had really come, so they put away the day's work and lay down in bed and fell asleep, the night was going to be a long one, the palace of Cadmus hastily lit the candles prepared for the midnight feast, the fine vessels of gold, silver and bronze glittered on the white tables, and the glittering nobles of the royal palace came in chariots.
At this moment, the wish-making god-king laughed with satisfaction, and he said, "O my faithful vassal Hypnos, do not hide in the faint light of the evening and fall asleep!" Since Nyx and the goddesses helped me fake the night, why don't you beat that hypnotic wand to put the mouthy Hera to sleep, and help me go to the Nether to pair up with the cutie Seymler! ”
Hypnos, who had shrunk his head, had no choice but to appear when he heard Zeus's call and hypnotized the goddess Hera according to the god-king's instructions.
At this time, the system seized the opportunity to cut into this frame and let Encore travel into her body after the goddess Hera fell asleep. Hypnotic wand of Hypnos has powerful divine power, not only mortals, but even the gods can't escape its mana, but on top of the plot, there is an illiterate god above the gods, Super Marie Sue, who will awaken the goddess Hera with its more powerful mana, and from this frame onwards, the plot will be reversed.
Ding - [The system automatically prompts: The review of the previous situation is completed, and the plot sequence unfolds.] ]
After hearing that Hypnos had returned and said that the goddess Hera had fallen asleep, Zeus, the god-king, jumped up from his seat and ran out of the golden palace of the sacred mountain of Olympus, where he raced against time to become a handsome aristocratic boy on the way to the nether, and hurried to the palace of Cadmus in a golden carriage.
Encore thought, since everyone has deceived Hera about this, then don't show people as prototypes for the time being, so Encore pressed the piggy button to pause the plot, turn on the system settings function, and change the face from head to toe, from the face shape and facial features, to the size and measurements, the voice, skin color, pupils, and hair quality have all been changed, and the advantage of the system compared with real filming is that you can beautify yourself infinitely.
Eventually, she ran into the carry-on space to handpick out a few vintage outfits to put on, and out-of-body help herself tie up her corset and cumbersome skirt reads. After dressing up, Encore took a turn in front of the mirror, and now although she is like Hera, the queen of heaven, she has undoubtedly become a beauty like a work of art.
The greatest banquet ever held in the palace of King Cadmus in the city of Thebes, after the sacrifice of Princess Semele to Zeus, King Cadmus realized that his daughter had grown into a charming maiden, so His Majesty the king, as the father, intended to choose a future son-in-law among the princes and nobles who attended the feast, apparently the oracle that the great prophet Tirisias concealed from Princess Semele was also unknown to the king, but this did not affect the fate that was already predestined, Of all the young talents to be selected, who could stand out better than Zeus?
King Cadmus and Queen Harmonia had four daughters, Ottonoe, Agoe, Eno and Semele. Semele was the youngest daughter, and her appearance was clearly inherited from her mother's mother, Aphrodite, the graceful goddess of love and beauty, who in turn was the daughter of Zeus, and the * among the gods was almost passed down as a virtue, and the gods neither grew old nor died anyway, so Super Marie Sue did not bother more.
Princess Semmele was carefully dressed in the dormitory (backstage) according to her father's instructions, and she was not allowed to appear until the high court of the banquet. All the princes and nobles, young and old, wanted to see the beauty of Princess Semele, who was raised in the boudoir and was famous all over the world.
An Ke walked into the palace of Thebais with her wonderful acting skills mixed with this group of princes and nobles, and she saw our protagonist tonight, Zeus, the god in a gorgeous night dress, low-key among the crowd, compared to all the handsome men and women, Anke could not point out his difference, but he was different, he was determined to watch the movements of Princess Semele's boudoir from afar, like a hunter waiting for a rabbit.
The pure, ethereal timbre of the lyre renders the fake midnight more realistic, the muses go to great lengths to shake their golden bodies in the sky to make the night sky shine with sparkling stars, and the goddess of the moon is eager to comb her long silver-white hair to grace the dark night sky. And the God King waited quietly for his beloved Semele with a powerful aura, and at this moment he became more patient than anyone else. The excitement of an experienced hunter at the sight of his prey is often in stark contrast to his composure when shooting with a bow and arrow. I have to marvel that under the aggressive and high-pressure surveillance of the goddess Hera, he has played this game of chasing to the extreme.
When the feast began, many glittering silver wine glasses were filled with sweet wine, and at this time there was no wine from the gods to the mortal world, because the vine cultivation was the invention of Dionysus, the son of Zeus and Semerus, so it remains to be seen whether the wine enjoyed at the feast tonight was made from oats or peas.
As the ladies in their floor-sweeping dresses tossed from table to table, King Cadmus raised the first glass of wine and greeted all the guests: "It is Zeus, the god of heaven and earth, who has given us a good evening and a sumptuous feast, so that we can gather together and enjoy good wine and good food." On this pleasant evening, I would like to make a beautiful encounter for young people, and since all the tyrants and princes are present at the feast, I now command my daughter Ottonoe to play the harp for the people herself, and to order Agoe and Eno to sing for them herself. ”
Semmele's three sisters rose from their different seats, walked over to the gilded lyre that had been prepared, and showed off their virtuosity and singing in a dignified manner. The hospitality of King Cadmus's family was praised by the guests, but Zeus, the god-king, had no intention of admiring the clumsy talents of mortal women, and he spent an afternoon on the holy mountain of Olympus yelling that it was not a waste of preciousness. Just as the three sisters of Semerle were singing song after song in the midst of cheers and applause, Zeus, the god-king, came to the shell of a golden cicada, and he left Prince Olympus at the banquet table as a stand-in to enjoy the show, and flew out of the banquet hall himself as a bee.
When Zeus arrived outside Princess Semer's bedroom, the maids guarding the door immediately fell asleep, and the beams on the palace doors fell off automatically, and one by one the palace doors quietly opened for him. Princess Semmele, dressed in a canter chair filled with flowers, awaiting her father's summons, saw a handsome prince easily break into her boudoir.
There was no time to wait, Encore followed the direction that Zeus had slipped out to the outside of Princess Semele's bedchamber, she saw some maids staggering against the pillars and sleeping soundly, the palace door was wide open, the latch fell to the ground, and walked along the long corridor of the palace, under the pillars on both sides of the main hall all the way full of verdant ivy, vines were rapidly extending upward, climbing all over Princess Semele's bedchamber, the beautiful form was like a handsome lover, which indicated that Dionysus, the god of wine, was about to be born in this palace.
Encore walked in the direction of the ivy stretch, and heard Princess Semerle's weak exclamation from a distance: "My God, strange highness, how did you get in?" Didn't my guard stop you at the door? Didn't my maid interrogate you before the pillar? How could you let yourself in alone without any retribution? Are you lost? God, you can't stay here long anyway, so I beg you to get out of here quickly, and don't be seen by my stern father! ”
In the midnight moonlight, the panicked Semer made Zeus's heart flutter.
He calmly approached Semmele's side and stroked her long soft hair: "My dear Semele, do you know how long I have been in love with you? I am neither a lost prince nor a robber who recklessly breaks into your boudoir, I am the embodiment of Zeus, the god of your destiny. Your birth has made me grateful countless times that I used to spend jolly evenings with your mother's mother, but she is less than a thousandth of you in my mind. Your father must also obey God's will, and you are destined to be my bride tonight, so you need not resist what I am going to do to you. He choked her rosy lips and took her delicate and helpless into his irresistible solid arms.
Zeus, who had two bull horns on top of his head, leaned over a rattan chair filled with flowers, and screamed in a bull-like voice. The God-King finally got his wish. He became first a monster with a human face, then a black panther with a human face, then a beast with a human face and a lion body, and then into a churning and coiling python, hissing and making a terrible sound from his mouth...... In the end, he transforms back into a handsome lover with a crown of ivy flowers, gently soothing the frightened bride. His crazy kisses were as fragrant as honey and wine from the gods, and Princess Semele, a mortal, was completely unable to resist, and had to cling to his fiery body and begging him for endless giving.
The goddess of the night retreated silently, the goddess of the moon shy and hidden, and the muses fled one after another, for the true moon and stars had risen at midnight and their help was no longer needed. This rumbling human and divine embrace was finally completed before the high court of the feast came. Zeus lay contentedly on Semele's bed and comforted the aggrieved and sobbing young woman in his arms: "O my beloved wife, you need not be embarrassed, you should be proud to have such a husband of the king of the gods!" No woman among mortals will be more fortunate than you, and your aunt Europa will be inferior to you, who will only go to Crete for glory, and you will ascend with me to the holy Temple of Olympus, on an equal footing with the gods! Your father is choosing a husband for you at the banquet, and I know that you are only troubled by this, but you just have to tell him the truth, and tell him that you will give birth to a son in a good way, and Zeus, the god of thunder and lightning, will personally come to the lower realm to take you to the sacred mountain of Olympus, and by that time the wood will be completed, and Hera, who is jealous, will not be able to do anything to you! Oh, my poor little Semele, forbear for the sake of the child in her womb, for the sake of your future ascension! After Zeus said these words, he turned into a bee and flew away.
Encore opened the system map to track the whereabouts of the bee, and the merrily scum flew straight back to the sacred mountain of Olympus, and returned to his golden bed to sleep.
But the city of Thebais was boiling like a pot of boiling water, and King Cadmus sent someone to summon Princess Semele to attend the banquet, but Princess Semele was lying on her bed in a mess and could not move, King Cadmus had to hastily end the banquet and return to Semer's dormitory to find out, the door was wide open, and all the guards and palace maids had just woken up, which angered King Cadmus.
Sammer's mother, Queen Harmonia, and her three sisters also came. Queen Halmonia and her royal ladies carefully inspected Semeler's bedchamber and found the same plant everywhere—green ivy—and then they were shocked to find mottled blood on Princess Semele's bed—indicating that she had said goodbye to her virginity. This bloody plot that was used by the screenwriter and director at the level of Mama-sang has finally found its roots, let's just believe that the gods have the ability to make a virgin pregnant with this brain-dead terrier
