31. Coral mounds

"Nope."

Before Hermes could say anything, Artemis pushed the door in, with the siren's new clothes in his hand, and rejected her idea without thinking.

Artemis put down her clothes, and her calm eyes made the siren's heart beat a drum, and she sighed before she explained: "You are still too weak to run around, and do you think Demeter will not understand?" She must already know that you are behind this, even if you are not afraid that she will send you to hell again, I am afraid. ”

Hermes was silent, he agreed with Artemis' words, but ...... He looked up at the siren, and sure enough, she wasn't convinced.

The siren lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time before he said, "But I'm going, there are some things I couldn't tell her at the time, but now I can." Even though she is Pearl's mother, I hate her all the same, Artemis, let me go, just this once, and I will listen to you all from now on. ”

Artemis was stunned for a moment, this was the first time the siren used the word hate, of course she knew that the siren had passed, but she had never heard a word of complaint from the siren, nor had she seen the siren show resentment, and today, the siren was still calm, but the love in her eyes was obvious.

She wanted revenge.

Artemis frowned, but instead of stopping, he said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Siren smiled, looking harmless, "Don't worry, I just want to tell her about the past, I won't do anything else, besides, I can't beat her." ”

Artemis looked at the siren scrutinically, shook her head and smiled after a while, then turned around, took out something from the cabinet on the side, held it and closed her eyes for a while, she put this one in the siren's hand, "Take it, I'll only give you one day, if you don't come back before the sun sets, I can't spare you." ”

Artemis's words were serious, and the siren hurriedly said that he would abide by it, and Artemis asked Hermes to take care of her, so he couldn't help but send the two out.

The sirens wore a huge cloak that could barely fit two of her, and Hermes took the siren's hand and slowly walked towards Demeter's residence.

The cloak was made of golden fleece and evening primrose, and it was not very windproof, but the weaving was so dense that even the god's gaze could not see through the cloak, and the siren hid behind Hermes while clinging to what Artemis had given her.

Seeing this, Hermes opened a soft barrier, although it could not completely resist the power of the wind god, but it could also reduce a lot of strong winds. The sirens slowly moved to his side in the air, and Hermes asked, "What did she give you?" ”

"Moonlight Mirrors."

The mirror that stores the moonlight looks no different from an ordinary mirror, that is, it is more delicate. Hermes stopped talking, and flew forward single-mindedly.

When they arrived at Demeter's place, the siren lowered his head and quickly lifted the hat of his cloak, only to find Hermes looking straight ahead, motionless.

The siren followed his gaze, his expression frozen.

Demeter folded her hands slightly on her belly, and the breeze blew through her pale yellow dress, obviously she knew that a guest was coming, and had been waiting for a while.

The siren came to her senses and took a step forward, her right arm being grabbed, Hermes with worry in her eyes, but the siren smiled and reassured him.

Hermes followed the sirens, and Demeter spoke first.

"The turmoil in the underworld was five days ago, and I've been wondering when you'll come."

The siren listened, and there was no change in his face, "Yes, I will definitely come, there are some things that I haven't let you know yet, and I can't let go of the past properly." ”

Demeter was stunned, she had been looking at the sirens, two hundred years had made her haggard, and the beautiful oracle of the past looked like a dying wood.

Demeter pursed her lips and said what she had always wanted to say, "I'm sorry. ”

The siren looked at Demeter, her voice was sincere, as if she was genuinely apologizing.

"Actually, I regretted it very quickly, but I can't even take it back myself, I'm sorry."

The siren lowered his head, Hermes could only pretend to be dumb in this conversation, the siren did not answer, Hermes turned his head to look at her, only to find that her smile was stiff.

Slowly looking up, as if thinking for a long time before deciding what he was going to say, the siren smiled, "I accept your apology, but I will never forgive you." Demeter, you are the one who drove me to a corner, I never hate anyone, but I hate you, because you disposed of me indiscriminately, and I obviously did nothing wrong. ”

There are many people who have hurt her, but they all have reasons, and the sirens can also sigh in their memories, and attribute it to self-inflicted blame, only Demeter, only she is completely angry, so she is the most hateful.

Siren's hand trembled slightly, she tucked her hand into her cloak and looked Demeter in the eye, "Your good daughter, Persephone, do you think she was snatched?" Do you think she was forced to stay in the underworld? Not really! She has been in love with Hades for a long time, she has been in love since that wedding banquet, she went with Hades completely voluntarily, and even the robbery that day was planned by your daughter herself! ”

Demeter's face was slightly pale, Hermes looked at her nervously, afraid that she would lose control and do something, but the sirens still did not give up, and told the truth of the year one by one, "There are also pomegranate seeds, which I watched her eat with my own eyes, because she didn't want to leave Hades, so she found the pomegranate seeds in the underworld by herself and let herself stay." Do you know? Hades had planned to send her back and then make plans again, but Pearl insisted on eating pomegranate seeds. She doesn't want to be with you, you know! ”

Siren's voice was almost sharp, and her cheeks began to turn red with excitement, but Demeter's face turned white, she closed her eyes reluctantly, and slowly opened them, a hint of sarcasm and bitterness floated on the corners of her lips, "I know." ”

At this moment, the siren was stunned.

With a wry smile, Demeter's voice was full of helplessness and sadness, "I already knew what you said. Pearl is my daughter, how can there be a mother who doesn't understand her daughter, it's because I know her thoughts that I will always be scared, and I will ask you to watch her. Because I threatened Zeus with the condition that the earth would no longer be abundant, he would sentence Pearl to me, but," said Demeter, smiling desolately, before he said the latter words, "she hardly talked to me for six months when Pearl came back, and she shut herself in her room, not even wanting to look at me, because I disturbed her supposed happiness, because I angered you innocently. ”

Pearl, this is what Pearl never told her.

Although Demeter is still the same as before, her former charm and bearing are gone, and her sunken eye sockets make her whole person look listless, Hermes looks at her, but there is no trace of pity in her heart.

It took a long time for the siren to regain her consciousness, and she also felt ironic, the original anger turned into a lingering flame, and only a deep helplessness was left in her heart, she suddenly felt that she didn't need to come here, Demeter had been punished, and she didn't need revenge.

The siren tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his voice couldn't have been calmer, "It's good that you're also living in pain." ”

With that, she took a step back, Hermes understood what she meant, and the divine wings on her feet appeared, ready to take the sirens away.

Demeter looked at her with a frown, "You don't understand. ”

Siren raised his chin and asked puzzledly, "What do I not understand?" The damage you have done to me is finally over, and I can live well again, enough is enough. ”

Demeter shook his head, his eyes full of pity, "I apologize to you, partly because you fell into the abyss, and partly because you were so fierce that you chose to escape this way." Siren, you have no idea what you've given up, and you don't know whose heart you've broken. ”

This sentence has been said by several people, and the siren has always ignored it, but today she got up abnormally, her smile disappeared, her eyes became cold, and she didn't speak politely, "What I gave up is just to be able to recover my body in the future, as for whose heart is broken?" I didn't hurt anyone, it was just an arrow. ”

After saying that, she stretched out her hand and pulled Hermes, who was stunned, then reacted, nodded at Demeter, and flew into the sky.

Demeter watched them fade from view, his expression sad.

Anger is because of the sore spot in the center, siren, have you regretted it?

=====

Eros crouched on the bank of the river, his gaze sinking directly to the bottom of the river, this was the fourth time that the god of wine had visited today.

In the past few days, he has not made trouble or done evil, he is really "quietly" waiting, except for the constant door-to-door visits and harassment of other people's attendants and maids.

Bacchus appeared at the bottom of the river, and immediately attracted men and women to pass, they didn't need to talk, just a few glances, Dio's charm conquered one mermaid after another, it is estimated that it will not be long before the so-called Scamander's men will all turn to Dior.

Eros propped his chin on, unable to understand why he thought Scamander could give him an answer, let alone his actions. Eros had seen a Dionysian who was so good at talking, could it be that Amplos committed suicide and hit him too hard?

Before Eros could figure it out, Scamander appeared.

He invited Dio to come in with a gloomy face, and when Eros saw this, he hurriedly jumped into the water, and just as he wanted to catch up, the gate closed again, and Eros could only wait outside.

Scamander's face was pale, and he was angry at first sight, and Dio followed him calmly, regardless of where Scamander was going to take him.

The Muse watched her husband and Bacchus leave, and looking in the direction they were going, the Muse turned, sighed, and wiped away the tears that were about to overflow.

After walking for some time, through the palace, past schools of fish, Scamander finally stopped, and Dio looked up at the huge coral grove in front of him, and did not understand why he had brought himself here.

Scamander turned, his large hands hanging at his sides and clenched into fists, showing his forbearance.

Receiving the signal, Dio stepped forward suspiciously, and suddenly, his pupils constricted, and there was a faint person in the coral bush, it was Amplos.

And when I looked up again, there was a huge black pearl hanging from the coral, and the words engraved on it were deeply embedded in it, glowing with a faint cold light.

- "My favorite daughter, Siren. ”
