All in all, Delphi, as a sacred place that has stood for eternity and has gone through several generations of gods, hides a lot of secrets, which is not something that Ye Ye, who has just arrived, can understand. After all, this land was the center of the world in the eyes of the Greek gods and humans.

Ye Ye wandered aimlessly in the nearby mountains and forests, and did not stop until the bright moon hung on the sky and the clear light sprinkled on the forest. Obviously, he didn't find anything as a matter of course, after all, there are so many heroes, sages, prophets, and even gods in this land, and if there are any secrets that have not yet been discovered, they must be deeply hidden.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Ye Ye's ears moved slightly, and there seemed to be a faint noise somewhere in the mountains and forests, breaking the silence of the night. Curiosity arose in his heart, Ye Ye couldn't help but walk in that direction, instead of stupidly staying alone in the wild for a night, Ye Ye was happy to encounter some unexpected events to kill this long and boring night.

In the dense mountain forest, under the moonlight, on the edge of the gurgling stream, a huge bonfire is burning, the fire is soaring, a group of women wearing animal skins and animal heads, or ** half-body or light tulle are dancing happily around the bonfire, the soft moonlight turns into a lyre sound, the dingdong stream rings a cheerful bell, the wandering evening breeze plays a passionate horn, and the leaves blow a pleasant flute, it seems that all the scenery on the field is enjoying themselves, interweaving a wonderful music that makes people enthusiastic and happy.

Singing and dancing, the women were reveling and hustle and bustle, and the field was filled with a strong aromatic and sweet aroma of wine, which made people slightly drunk and intoxicated at the first smell, and couldn't help but be excited and happy, and immediately left all the troubles of the world behind, and plunged into the wonderful and blissful fairyland in front of them, and the warm and noisy atmosphere was almost condensed into substance.

Most of these people were women from the Delphi neighborhood, but a closer look reveals that many of the non-human visitors in the crowd were also participating in the revelry. A group of stunning maidens who were dressed in the same water coat as Partheni before them, or shrouded in a faint mist, or covered with green leaves and vines covering important parts, laughed heartily, or frolicked and chased, or danced, or sang softly, like a dream; Men with unkempt hair, loud laughter, ivy garlands, horns, horseshoe, and sheep's tails played flutes, cymbals, tambourines, and other musical instruments in their hands, adding a more enthusiastic atmosphere to the feast.

In the middle of the crowd, there was a teenager lying quietly half-reclining on the grass without saying a word, but with a lazy demeanor with a pleasing demeanor, people felt that the dust was wiped out at first sight, and all the troubles were forgotten.

The young man is extremely beautiful and delicate, with a moth head and eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, a face as beautiful as a girl, and his skin can be broken by blowing in the moonlight; He was draped in a magnificent purple-gold robe, with a wreath of vines on his head, and a green wooden staff in his slender white palm, and looked at the people who were caught in the carnival feast with a smile.

Beside him, two shiny black panthers lay quietly on the side, as if guarding him.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, the boy turned his head to look at the jungle, the corners of his mouth curled, and then he raised the wooden staff in his hand, and suddenly all the mortals and non-people on the field stopped their movements and looked at him in unison, their eyes full of respect, love, and fanaticism.

"My people, my faithful, it is time for us to revelry, but tonight we welcome a guest from afar to join us in this feast and spend this happy night together."

Then the boy laughed at the edge of the jungle and said, "Come in, you are welcome, guests from other lands, in this carnival tonight, put aside all worldly etiquette, forget your troubles, and pursue pleasure to your heart's content!" ”

As soon as the words landed, it was like hearing the supreme order, and the direction facing the young man, the grass was low, the trees were divided, and the moonlight condensed, revealing the figure of Ye Ye hiding behind him.

With a puff in his heart, Ye Ye showed a sincere smile on his face, took a few steps forward and walked out of the woods, and at the same time bowed slightly to the young man, his tone was full of respect: "Of course, your invitation is my supreme honor, the giver of joy, the great Dionysus." ”

It was almost all a carnival feast of women, the drunken fragrance that permeated the audience, the surrounding of the goddesses of mountains, forests and rivers, the entourage of the forest god Satyr, such obvious characteristics, if Ye Ye, who had been observing for a long time, couldn't guess the current situation, then he should really be killed headfirst. After all, Delphi, in addition to being the holy place of Apollo, belonged to the one in front of him during the winter months.

The young man in front of him was none other than Dionysus, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, the god of wine who mastered the drunken and joyful almsgiving.

After Ye Ye came to this world for so long, he finally met an official god, and it was a heavyweight god, and fortunately, he ran into Dionysus.

Among the descendants of Zeus, except for Apollo, Athena, Ares and other mothers are also gods, so the gods who were born as gods are not mentioned, among the many descendants of him and mortal women, the most powerful is undoubtedly Hercules, but the most mysterious is Dionysus.

Hercules' combat effectiveness is undoubted, not to mention the various majestic deeds he did when he was a mortal far superior to other Greek heroes, just breaking into Hades and injuring Hades, helping Zeus repel the Titans and giants who attacked Mount Olympus, these two great deeds are enough to prove that he is not inferior to the great power of most gods, but a strong man like him was still promoted to god by Zeus after his death.

Dionysus did not have any strong achievements, but he was one of the very few beings who became a god when he was a mortal, and his mother was Semele, the niece of Europa and the daughter of Cadmus, the founder of Thebais, although he was also a descendant of Poseidon, the god of the sea, but he was a mortal from the perspective of the divinity of this world. During Semele's pregnancy with Dionysus, the jealous queen Hera set her sights on the woman as if she were persecuting other Zeus' lovers, and incarnated Semele to see Zeus's true body; Helpless, Zeus could not resist the pleading of the princess Thebai, and revealed his supreme and brilliant nature in front of this mortal woman, so Semele was reduced to ashes in the divine light mixed with violent thunder, and only Dionysus, who was less than a month, was rescued.

Later, the young Dionysus was adopted by Zeus under the persecution of Hera, and finally raised by the goddesses of mountains, forests and rivers in the isolated mountains of Nisa. Originally, with the blood of a demigod inherited from Dionysus, he should have been a superior mortal like the descendants of other Zeus and mortals, and would become a king or hero in the future, and if he was lucky, at most he would be promoted to immortal existence after death, but in fact, when he was a child, he completed the transformation from a mortal to a god without anyone knowing, and he was not a secondary god such as Perseus's Immortal, but a true god.

Growing Dionysus roamed through the forest, and the gods of the earth, including the goddess of the mountains, forests, and waters, the half-human, half-beast satyrs, and other forest gods, all cheered and accompanied him, volunteering to be his servants and follow him, basking in his glory.

Because of this, his cousin, Pentheus, the king of Thebais after Cadmus, did not recognize his godhood, and drove out the persecutors of the Dionysian cult in his own country with jealousy and anger, only to end up like other mortals who offended the gods, and were torn to pieces by the hands of the mother of Agaue-Penthos, who was intoxicated and mad by the divine power of Dionysus.

The brave Hercules went through hardships to become Hercules, but in the end he was still nothing more than a high-ranking fighter on Mount Olympus; However, Dionysus was promoted to a higher god position almost without hindrance, and later one of the three chaste goddesses, Zeus's eldest sister Hestia, the god of the hearth, gave up the position of the twelve main gods to this later god of wine, and the wonder of it is very worthy of deep thought.

Looking at the leisurely and lazy handsome young man in front of him, who looked like a woman, an ancient Chinese saying suddenly rose in Ye Ye's heart: Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements.

"Come, please sit down, guest from a foreign country."

Dionysus had a soft expression, smiled and invited Ye Ye to sit in front of him, and the two black panthers beside him opened their eyes and glanced at Ye Ye lazily, probably feeling that he was not threatening, and turned their heads to the other side disapprovingly.

Outlander? What a meaningful title!

Ye Ye thought in his heart, not knowing if his identity as a visitor from the other world had been exposed in the eyes of this great god, but his expression did not show the slightest flaw, he looked sincerely frightened, and sat on the grass obediently, and now he could only take one step at a time.

Just after Ye Ye sat down, a delicate and delicate girl suddenly approached next to him, bent down beside him and shrugged her nose, as if she was sniffing something, and her little face was full of surprise.

Ye Ye was stunned in her heart, this girl was covered with a thin veil of crystal clear water, which was exactly the same as the Partheni she had seen before, and she didn't know her identity, but what was she doing now? couldn't help but look down and sniff at himself, a day of sun and frost inevitably smelled of sweat, but Ye Ye didn't smell any other strange smells, and couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Ah, it's the smell of Parthene."

Suddenly, the girl shouted in surprise as if she had discovered some big secret, and immediately attracted several other goddesses of mountains and rivers to surround her, chattering and squeezing next to Ye Ye to take a look.

"That's right, it's the smell of Parthene, and I smell it too."

"You've been to Lake Stinfalis lately, haven't you?"

"Hee-hee, not only have you been there, but you're also on good terms with Partheni?"

"Ah, it's Partheni's little lover."

The laughter resounded in Ye Ye's ears, although the voices of these goddesses were as crisp and pleasant as a dingdong mountain spring, but the gossip temperament was obviously in the same vein as that of mortal women, which made Ye Ye a little embarrassed.

"Well, my sisters, let it go, and don't let your enthusiasm be too overwhelming and overwhelm our guests." Dionysus smiled and relieved Ye Ye.

Hearing the main god's words, the goddesses of the mountains, forests, and rivers laughed and dispersed, and strolled into the song and dance again, but the petite goddess at the beginning did not leave, a pair of autumn water scissors kept scanning Ye Ye curiously, and suddenly stretched out her white and tender little hands strangely, and asked pretending to be fierce:

"As a guest, what about the welcome gift you brought to your host?"
