Chapter 37 [Mythological Drama] matche17
On the distant sacred mountain of Olympia, Hermes paced anxiously outside the closed temple of Zeus, and he had to report the disappearance of Dionysus as much as he could, but the god-king locked himself in his chamber and did not come out of his way, and no one wanted to summon him.
The sun god Apollo seemed to be more anxious than Hermes, the surface water system that experienced the thunder and fire was evaporated into the sky by high temperatures to form nine thousand feet of frozen clouds, the heavy clouds contained severe frost and ice beads, if these condensed frozen clouds were not dispersed with thunder, Apollo alone could not melt the heavy frozen clouds, the crumbling frost and ice beads will be poured into the world one after another, the earth will be covered with ice and snow, icebergs will float on the sea, spring, summer and autumn will no longer be ushered in in the year, and the world will face a long winter, This is not only a catastrophe on earth, but also a great chaos in the divine realm, because by then there will be no more sacrifices to the gods.
The three goddesses of time, Tarot, Okeso, and Calpo, arrived, and the goddess of the sea, Tarasa, also arrived, and even Demeter, the goddess of cereals, who lived in seclusion, also hurried in, and as soon as Demeter moved, the main god of the heavenly realm could not sit still. The gods gathered outside the temple of Zeus and begged him to forget his past sorrows.
Hiding in the corner, the two sisters, Eris and Ampheloja, the goddess of quarrels, wanted the door of the god-king's palace to be opened sooner than anyone else, because the third sign coincided with the current situation, and if this omen was fulfilled again, then the game would be tilted to the side of the goddess of love, Ferrotes. If my sister wins this gamble, it means that Hera has really forgiven Mother and Son, and Zeus will no longer set his sights on other women, what is there to be in the amiable Olympus worthy of their sisters' nostalgia?!
Eris and Amphelogia suddenly thought of their other sister, Apat, the goddess of lies.
So Eris once again fulfilled his God's vocation and flew to Apat and provoked: "O wise Appat! I know that even the eight-faced Hermes can't compare to you, no matter how tricky things are handed over to you, they can always be easily solved, everyone has used you to achieve their goals, the goddess Rhea has used you to trick Cronus into swallowing a stone to save Zeus, Hades has used you to deceive Persephone to make her eat seven pomegranate seeds from the underworld, Prometheus has used you to deceive the omniscient and all-powerful Zeus to choose inferior sacrifices, and the god king Zeus often uses you to deceive those young and lovely goddesses and mortal women, Hera, the former diva of heaven, has also used you countless times to coax her husband! Your help is indispensable in all the big and small things in the heavenly realm, but everyone refuses to admit your talent, and even denies your existence. To prove your indispensability, why don't you show off your skills in a moment when the gods are at their wit's end, and set up a big scam to make everyone your puppet? ”
Apat, the goddess of lies, said to her disdainfully: "My dear sister, let me speak such things to the foolish Nemesis, for your compliments and sarcasm do not make me angry." I've heard about your gamble with Ferrotes, in fact, I'm on your side, if Zeus doesn't come out, then find a way to let him out, if he knows that his son Dionysus has fallen into the hands of the vicious Hera, I don't believe he is still in the mood to mourn the dead! ”
When Eris heard this idea, she admired her sister from the bottom of her heart, and once such a rumor spread, even the shrewd Hermes could not tell the truth from the false, so she flew everywhere to spread the rumor.
When Hermes heard this rumor, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, but he had to keep calm and pretend not to care and intensify his efforts to investigate the whereabouts of Dionysus, how difficult it was to find a baby in the middle of nowhere, even a god could hardly find someone who deliberately avoided him.
Snowflakes are piled up in the small courtyard of Enke's house, the sky is red by the snow as if the fragrant and feminine face of the goddess of dawn has arrived early, and the world that should be ruled by Tarot, the goddess of spring, is dressed in a cool sable, and she will also wear it through the summer of Okeso to catch up with the new trend of Calpo this autumn.
The crackling of wood in the warm fireplace, the quiet and quiet winter had lasted for six months on this deserted island, Encore fell asleep in the rocking chair patting Dionysus in his arms, humming an intermittent lullaby, half-closed eyelids fighting from time to time, the blanket on his shoulders slipped on the armrests of the rocking chair and fell silently...... A round, five-petaled little claw caught it firmly and put it back on Encore's shoulder, and the sleepy insect Encore's head suddenly fell, and she opened her sleepy eyelids in a daze, and she saw that Dionysus in her arms was already asleep, so she slowly stood up and gently put him into the crib.
It was the annual celebration of the marriage of the goddess Hera, and the king of Cataron sent to invite the high priest, and Anco carried little Dionysus in the king's carriage to the palace of Peotia.
The women were dressed gracefully, the men were dressed neatly, and the encore was still the same, but little Dionysus was different from all children of the same age, he wore a wreath of ivy on his head, and the snow for ten months did not know where his ivy grew from, and the flowers on it were real and not wilted at all, and he wore a sleeveless miniskirt full of tassels, which looked like a little girl, but the sometimes exposed funny little finches revealed his gender, At his feet are a pair of small boots sewn from soft sheepskin, delicate enough to be used as a handicraft. The children of the princes and nobles were fresh with the fashionable outfit of Dionysus, the son of the god-king, but the adopted son of Encore, who except for the ivy, was exchanged for his beloved chocolate! Like all parents, Encore wanted him to stand out among the children.
The feast officially began, and among all the fruits on the table, Encore liked a candy that resembled a chocolate flavor, and at first, she tried to bite into one of these candies and pour the wine-flavored sugar water in the middle into the mouth of little Dionysus, to see his grotesque and cute expression, but she forgot that the child was the god of wine, maybe the cause and effect were just the opposite, Dionysus fell in love with wine because he ate the first encore candy, who knows.
He willfully climbed onto the table and sat down in front of the silver candy tray, biting them open one by one with his little baby teeth, sucking on the small amount of wine inside. I don't know which bad guy reminded him, maybe it was just that the man had no intention, and the man exclaimed, "Hehe, you might as well hold the flask and drink!" ”
Encore didn't care, but Dionysus started his career as a Dionysian. A kind lady ran up to him and grabbed Encore's hand and said in horror, "Look at your son, oh my God!" This is not true! What was he doing? Drinking? ”
Encore turned around and found that Dionysus was holding a golden flask not much smaller than himself in his two clumsy little hands, pouring wine into his mouth.
I'm, I'm, I'm......
An Kefei also ran over and snatched his wine jug, pushed him a few times, and said, "You bear child! How can I drink wine! Do you want me to hit you? ”
Encore really forgot that he was originally a god of wine, but at that moment Encore probably really regarded him as his own son. Little Dionysus cried, after all, he was only a year old. But he cried very smartly, crying and shouting at his mother to throw herself on Anke, so that Anke couldn't be angry for another second, and immediately picked him up and patted and kissed, and wanted to cry with him. Everyone was looking at the mother and son, and after a while of persuasion and comfort, little Dionysus, who was still smoking, showed his little dimples and laughed again, breaking Encore's heart.
Encore could not help but think that among Zeus's many sons and daughters, none of them had been sewn into his thighs by Zeus, but his beloved son Dionysus; Among Zeus's countless lovers, there was no one who was favored by Zeus to abandon his wife and children, but the mother of his beloved son Dionysus. All this qiē is due to the fact that the child is the heir to the throne recognized by Zeus. But such a lucky child has a tragic and tortuous past and present life. If you don't use wine to forget, what else can you use?
At this moment, Encore felt that no matter how tightly he hugged him, he couldn't warm his lonely heart.
Encore suddenly felt an urge in his heart to help him go to the underworld to rescue his mother. Unfortunately, there are no more temporal spells...... Originally, the system was given 6 times that the space-time spell should be enough to run back and forth to the underworld, but only 2 times were used properly, and the remaining 4 times were wasted at best. (t___t)
A trace of guilt rose in the heart of the kind-hearted Encore, she looked at the cute little wine god who thought she was her mother, but her mind was slipping out - I also wanted to save your mother, it was your mother who had to die, she didn't listen to persuasion...... No way, I'm sorry. (^^^)
However, the more obedient little Dionysus became, the more sad she became, and she even wanted to say to him, please be naughty, coquettish, willful, naughty, and mischievous...... Please, don't be so good~~~~~ bear or not? Bear or not? (? (∞)?)
When most of the guests had left after the celebration, Encore, as the high priestess, had to stay for a symbolic moment, and the drunken little Dionysus slept in her arms, chatting with the elders of the primitive tribes, and Anke heard a strange story. In the Argos region there is a mysterious Rena Marsh, in the middle of which there is a lake with bottomless water, which is said to lead directly to the Styx River of the underworld, which is suspected to be the only passage between the human world and the underworld, but no one has ever dived into the water to confirm this. The patriarch of that place once tried to measure the depth of the lake by a method, and he ordered a huge rock to be wrapped up in a net, and a rope strong enough to be tied to the net, and the rock was thrown into the bottom of the lake, and the length of the rope was extended indefinitely on the surface of the lake, and it is said that it took him a hundred days to exhaust nine strong men, and the boulder continued to sink, and then the patriarch returned in vain, so he suspected that the swamp led directly to the underworld, and even the stones could not be returned. But some of the elders retorted that the boulder did not sink indefinitely, but rolled away in the direction of the lake's flow. Then some people asked, what kind of distance does the lake water flow to? What is the twisting and turning of the road to Hades?
The person who asked the question was none other than our lovely High Priest Encore Shoes. The elders turned their attention to her and the child in her arms. Only they are outsiders here, stunned young people who don't believe in evil. Encore was just a little unwilling, and didn't say that he wanted to be the first person to dive to the bottom of the lake to confirm this statement. Why did everyone look at her with admiration? Isn't it, is it a trap?
Encore looked down and saw that little Dionysus was really drunk, and he was asleep.
The king of Cataron pointed at Encore with the golden scepter in his hand and said, "I have appointed you as the chief priest of the goddess Hera, and it is the duty to confirm this for me and my elders. ”
Ankepi looked at him with a smile and thought to himself, what kind of international jokes, you hated me from the beginning, right?
