Chapter 31: The Cauldron of Heaven

Princess Eginia introduced the idol of Hera in her country in an almost ostentatious tone, but her words were directly interrupted by William, "In the near future, when Hercules completed the twelve trials, Hera not only reconciled with Hercules, but also married her daughter to Hercules."

"Is this an oracle?" Princess Eginia said with a smile.

"No, it's the future." William swore as he looked up at the huge statue of Hera, and he felt as if the rat charm in his pocket had become useful.

Of course, in the future mythological history, Hera had just reconciled her daughter Heber by marrying Hercules, and the front foot had a wedding, and the back foot drove Hercules out of Mount Olympus, leaving him to live forever at the bottom of hell.

I have to say that Hera, the queen of heaven, is still so clever in her power and is not inferior to Zeus.

Although William wanted to use the rat charm, he knew that now was not the time to use the rat charm, because even if he used the rat charm to resurrect the statue Hera, Hera had her own consciousness and might not be willing to obey his orders, so thinking of this, the movement of his hand represented the invisible snake charm and fell directly at the foot of the statue of Hera.

"Look, father, the idol of Hera is gone."

Like a real child, William pointed to the position of the statue of Hera and said innocently, where the statue of Hera should have stood, but now it has disappeared.

The statue of Hera suddenly disappeared, and everyone looked in amazement at the place where the statue of Hera was located was now empty, not even a bit of stone slag, it disappeared without a trace.

Hell yes.

No, it's just a matter of seeing God.

The statue of Hera was close to fifty or sixty meters, and even the well-informed Hercules team, who had traveled to many city-states in Greece, was shocked, and Princess Eginia couldn't help but be proud when she mentioned it, but such a big idol disappeared under everyone's noses.

Hercules couldn't hide his shock in his heart at this time, moving such a large statue of Hera is a huge project that takes time and effort, since no one can move it under their noses, then after thinking about it, there is only one explanation, this is the meaning of the statue of Hera himself.

Hera has appeared.

The soldiers, whether with spears or shields, were in a hurry at this time, they were originally ordinary citizens of the city-state, because of the protracted war, because of the king's orders, so they were recruited as soldiers, they were not qualified in military quality and literacy, except for having weapons and armor, they were not much better than ordinary farmers.

Each city-state in Greece had its own patron deity, for example, Athena was the patron saint of Athens, Ares, the patron saint of Sparta, and Hera, the patron saint of Thrace.

Does Hera's disappearance mean that Hera no longer favors and protects Thrace, and that the goddess Hera, the queen of Mount Olympus, has abandoned Thrace and her people.

"Mother." Suddenly, a child ran in the direction of Princess Eginia, and he was surrounded by soldiers and residents who were kneeling on the ground in a panic and begging for forgiveness from the goddess Hera, and he leaned into his mother's arms in fear.

This is the first time that everyone has seen this scene of everyone kneeling down and praying to Hera, Princess Eguinia is holding her child and calling his name Alius, and as a member of the royal family, her heart is full of fear.

As the king's daughter, she knew better than the ignorant child, and the sudden disappearance of the huge statue of Hera out of thin air was definitely not a good omen, but an outright bad omen, not so much the goddess's dissatisfaction with the whole country of Thrace, but the goddess's dissatisfaction with the Thracian royal family.

Rysos is in rebellion, and nothing is a testament to the immorality of the king and the royal family more than the disappearance of the goddess Hera, and Princess Eginia's keen political mind turns pale at the thought of this.

In the history of many city-states in Greece, how many coups were carried out in the name of the gods, and how many sacrifices were carried out at the expense of princesses or princes of the royal family.

In the Homeric epic, when King Agamemnon from Del

The temple of Philip received an oracle because he hunted and shot the fawn of the moon goddess Artemis, so he had to sacrifice his daughter, Princess Iphigenia, who was the commander of the army, to be able to set sail, and finally in a bloody sacrifice, Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter in exchange for the army to be opened.

In Athens, the most civilized and open city-state and school in all of Greece, even scholars like Socrates could be executed for "unbelieving in God," let alone their families.

None of the city-state monarchs in all of Greece could oppose oracles, especially oracles that were almost proclaimed by the gods themselves.

The Thracian palace was in a mess at this time, and King Kotis, who had been in the palace to summon Hercules with royal etiquette, and General Scott, who had just entered, also appeared in the square in a hurry at this time. When they looked at the statue of Hera, which had disappeared, only the empty ground remained, and they almost fainted on the ground for a while, but fortunately, General Scott supported the king in time, which caused the king not to make a fool of himself in public.

In modern times, in full view of everyone, the huge statue in the center of the city disappeared out of thin air, which can be on the world's most eye-catching news, the disappearance of the Statue of Liberty in "The Adventures of Jackie Chan", and the huge pressure has made the police ignore Jackie Chan's "stealing" diamonds, just seeking to find the goddess statue, not to mention the Greek city-state full of superstition and strong belief in gods.

"Your Majesty, make a decision." General Scott spoke softly in front of King Curtis, and King Curtis, who had been looking like a dead face, instantly cheered up.

If according to the normal operation process, the crisis encountered now, the best solution should be to lead the ox to sacrifice Hera first, and then consult the oracle of the priest of the temple of Hera, and ask the goddess for the reason for her disappearance, if it is the dissatisfaction of the goddess, then the goddess will put forward the oracle, only according to the oracle requirements, please the goddess, the statue of Hera will come back, otherwise Hera abandoned Thrace, and then either the city is full of monsters, or a series of natural disasters.

In "Oedipus the King", because Oedipus killed his father and married his mother, the gods descended on the country ruled by Oedipus, and when the results of the oracle came out, Oedipus, who was originally loved by the citizens, was overthrown, and he gouged out his eyes and took his daughter away from home, and died a miserable death.

The gods would punish the people of this country for the actions of the king, and Curtis thought he could hide it from Hercules, but unexpectedly angered the goddess Hera.

From the beginning he was not the king of Thrace, the real king was his son-in-law, his daughter Eginia was the queen of Thrace, he killed his own son-in-law and took the throne of the country, and the tyrant Rysos was actually a loyal subordinate of the former king, who rebelled because of his rebellion.

Although King Curtis was old, he was not stupid, thinking of the contradiction between Hera and Hercules in the myth, under the persuasion of General Scott, he immediately signaled the soldiers to surround Hercules, and he did not dare to ask the priests of the temple of Hera for an oracle, but said directly to everyone, "Hercules, you sinner, because you have stepped into the holy place that Hera has sheltered, your uncleanness has displeased the great queen, so only by killing you can the goddess return."

Hercules looked confused at this time, and he didn't expect to step into the door of Thrace at all, and a shocking cauldron fell on him, while William, who was the initiator of everything, showed a dark expression.

He doesn't think it's a big deal, if it's not a big deal, how can he make the world believe in the legend of his son of Hercules.
