Chapter 965: Aunt Goddess
For most readers, Demeter is best known for his story of "turning a stone into gold." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn order to repay the help of King Maidaya of Friedge, Demeter gave him the ability to turn stones into gold at his request. The king became rich until he accidentally turned his relatives and friends into gold, and his food and water into gold, and he starved and endured the loss of his relatives. He therefore prayed to the goddess to reclaim her power and restore everything. Demeter restored everything and brought the king back to his original life - this is the story.
On the island of Naxos there is a temple of Demeter, which is small and has long since fallen into disrepair. But Diana knew that this was one of the few places where she could directly contact Demeter, and it was a "phone booth" she left on earth. Here, Diana didn't have to enter Mount Olympus to find the goddess, saving herself a precious pass.
Demeter is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, and is also the sister of the god-king Zeus. In terms of blood relationship, Diana is her niece and can be regarded as a very close person. But rules are rules, and Diana still had to prepare sacrifices, including a male and a female, two cows, a pig, fresh fruit in season, and a honeycomb with honey. Everything else was easy to find, Diana could buy it from the homes of the inhabitants of Naxos, but the hive could not be found for a while, so she replaced it with three jars of honey.
God's call to God is completely different from the way people worship God, and Diana only learned about it later after returning to Paradise Island and learning the rituals of sacrifice from her mother. Watching the sacrifice disappear in front of her in the smoke, Diana called out the name of the god in a rhythmic tone. The divine power within her joined in, forming a brilliant golden light around the smoke that the sacrifice had transformed into.
In a moment Demeter came out of the smoke, tall, dignified, majestic, and with a shallow smile. Long wavy blond hair fell to her shoulders, her voluminous skirt stopped at her ankles, and a pair of hand-woven straw sandals stomped underfoot. She held a sheaf of ears of wheat in one hand and a scythe in the other, and a scepter that could turn things into gold was securely fastened to her belt. "Diana, what are you calling me for?"
"Aunt of the great goddess of abundance......," said Diana, as soon as Demeter smiled knowingly. As the patron deity of the family, Demeter valued the close relationship between relatives and liked to talk and play with his juniors. She listened intently to see what the demigod niece had requested.
"Aunt Goddess, I beg you to deliver a child, so that I can ask the child's father to join me in an important battle. Diana blinked, as if she felt a little strange about her prosperity, and added, "The father of the child is very capable, and I think he can play a big role in solving the current problems of the earth, saving the world, and restoring normal family and social order, and I need him." ā
"And who is the father of this child?"
Mike Dragon roared. Diana replied.
The Goddess of Fertility was stunned for a moment, her eyes blinking, and the roots of Diana's ears were slightly red. "I've heard some news from the wind, and among them is this Mike Dragon Roar. Is he the human you knew before?"
"It's him. Later we separated. "He was a druid, a man of nature, ecology and biology, a valiant warrior and a man who genuinely respected others...... Warlock. ā
"Male...... Warlock, you have taken an abrupt turn, is he bullying my Diana?" Demeter shook her arms slightly, and the ears of wheat and the sickle were hidden, and she reached out to pinch Diana's nose. But her hand passed through Diana's body like smoke. This is not Olympus after all, she can only cast a phantom shadow. "Alas, it would be nice when you could go back to Olympus, I still remember the scene when you were just born and I held you. I bless you with great strength and a strong body, so that you will not get tired and heal yourself, and you will be able to get rid of diseases and toxins by touching the earth. I don't want you to get hurt, but my divine power is not so strong that I can't make you immune to cut wounds, and I can't prevent someone from breaking your heart. However, if anyone dares to break your heart, you can use my power to avenge you! ā
"Auntie, the topic is far away. Diana remembered her mother's assessment of the goddess: a family goddess, not as vigorous as a warrior, but very proficient in the short things of the family, like a noisy duck.
Diana quickly pushed the thought out of her head, and said, "He is one of the very few warriors I can fully trust, and I need him very much now." He promised to wait for his woman to give birth (Diana did not use the word wife) to give birth to the child, and he was a man who kept his promise. But I need him right now. ā
"In other words, I will make sure that the birth will go smoothly, that the mother and the child are healthy and intact, and that he will come back to you?"
"It's for saving the planet and humanity, not for me. Diana always felt that her aunt was going to take a crooked rhythm, so she quickly dragged it back.
"Diana, I do have the ability to wish the mother well, but I suggest you come back, back to Olympus, or go back to Paradise Island to find your mother. Demeter looked at Diana's resolute expression and sighed, and said, "I know that it is useless to say this, that you are tainted with the stubborn bad habits of mankind in this regard. And you're always too kind. ā
"Auntie, you just say yes or no. This is the first time I've begged you. ā
"If there is a first time, there will be a second time. Demeter temporarily withdrew his loving gaze, returned to the majestic and solemn image of the deity, and then said, "Diana, do you know what kind of sacrifice should be offered, and what kind of ritual should be performed?"
"I know. Diana nodded.
"Okay, you can owe it first, and make it up before you beg me next time. The smile returned to Demeter's face. She leaned in to Diana and asked, "How about you tell me about this Mike Dragon's Roar? I heard that he was recognized as a Lord by the Ring Alliance, what kind of man is he? It turns out that Icarus came back with some news, but he hasn't been to the mountains for a long time, and we are bored." ā
"He's a very strange guy. Diana was still reluctant to use the word "human" on Zhao Mai, but the more she deliberately did this, the more impressive Zhao Mai left her. "In some ways, he's quite like you. He invented a super-high-yielding crop that could be eaten by any kind of creature. He can also turn stones into gold - in fact, everything else can be transformed except gold. Oh yes, he has good strength and stamina, he used to be a little bit worse than me, and now he should surpass me. ā
"Hey, strength is good to compare, how to compare endurance, I don't believe you are doing long-distance running. ā
"Auntie!"
