[Greek Mythology] The Confusion of the Goddess of Beauty

Three days have passed since Zhi Geng adopted Anasius as a pet. On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. Mountain hunting.

It is said that this mountain range was once shrouded in an unknown dark red mist, and the mist did not completely dissipate until the last few days.Unexpectedly, without being surrounded by dark red mist, the mountain range showing its figure is extraordinarily beautiful. At the same time, the reason for the earlier fog endowed the mountain range with a mysterious color.

For the convenience of hunting, Artemis wore a very convenient tunic skirt and hunting boots today, holding a bow and arrow, and her pretty face was full of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming trip.

Artemis is one of the three major goddesses. She is free and independent, loves outdoor life, and is the most beloved daughter of the king of gods. She has the priesthood and ability not inferior to other brothers.

When she extended the invitation to Zhi Geng, the smile on her face was extraordinarily bright and sincere, and her whole person exuded youthful vigor and radiance.

The other party's rare invitation, Zhi Geng naturally would not refuse, in fact, Zhi Geng also has a good impression of this straightforward moon goddess.

For various reasons, Zhi Geng did not let Anasius follow him, but left the white tiger on Mount Zhiviraga.

[Kui Yin: Tsk, you have a canine haircut who is willing to let Anasius guard the goal. ]

[Stupid, I have been wanting to tell you for a long time, Anasius is a cat. ]

[Kuiyin: I am not angry at all when I was called a fool (smile.jpg)]

On the way to that mountain range, Artemis kept talking to Zhi Geng, she was very excited to describe the beauty and mystery of the mountain range she was about to go to, although her knowledge of this mountain range was limited to other gods There were a few words in her mouth, but this did not prevent her from talking gracefully in front of Zhi Geng.

The moon god, who is also the goddess of hunting, is exactly the same as her younger brother sun god in terms of activating the atmosphere.

Even if it is the most boring description of the environment, as long as it is said from her pale pink lips that are as beautiful as cherry blossoms, it will add a bit of dreamy color, which is the romance unique to Artemis.

When talking about the excitement, Artemis's fair and pretty face flushed slightly because of excitement, she glanced sideways at Zhi Geng, and saw that Zhi Geng was listening carefully to her discussion, a touch of shame suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Aphrodite agreed to her invitation, and is now going to the mysterious and beautiful mountain with her. For Artemis, this is undoubtedly the happiest thing today.She likes this feeling now, likes staying with Aphrodite, and even more likes to share all the beautiful things with this most charming man.

Artemis seemed to have inexhaustible energy, until the two of them arrived at their destination unknowingly, the beautiful goddess of the moon regretted ending the conversation and turned her gaze to the front.

The goal is a clear and clear river surrounded by colorful flowers.

These flowers were half a meter high, and they were a species Artemis had never seen before. The flowers were very thin, and the flowers and leaves did not grow obliquely, nor did they hang down naturally, but were rolled up one by one.

Each flower is not composed of a single color, and each flower has a thin winding pattern on its petals, which is beautiful and unique. Under the sunlight, it seems to have been slapped The faint light makes each petal unique, like abstract ink paintings.

They are connected together in large areas, reflecting each other with the sparkling water in the river, and together with the towering and steep mountains behind the river, it looks like a beautiful and magnificent landscape picture from a distance.

"What beautiful mountains, rivers, and flowers," Artemis' eyes revealed a touch of wonder, and the long and curly eyelashes were like butterflies about to fly, and they were gently fanned under the snow-white skin. A light radiance.

"They are so different, my dear Aphrodite, you see, these flowers have passed through the hands of nature, and after the dense fog was lifted, they gathered into beautiful rivers and mountains that I dream of." Artemis' voice carried Unable to hide her joy, her delicate and beautiful face carried a gurgling smile, and under the sun, her cheeks were also slightly pink.

"Artemis, my lovely goddess," Zhi Geng was also infected by Artemis' joy, he looked at this young and energetic goddess of the moon, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips: "Your appearance at this moment is by no means inferior to these beautiful and strange flowers, no, perhaps it should be far superior."

"A dead thing without breathing can't have your agile demeanor."

Zhi Geng stretched out his finger and lightly tapped the tip of Artemis' nose: "At this moment, you are the most beautiful existence in my eyes."

[Kui sound: sycophant:)]

Artemis' face flushed completely, she was confused by Aphrodite's sudden intimate gesture.Facing Aphrodite's clear and beautiful eyes, which obviously did not contain any charming colors, Artemis only felt that there was a different kind of temptation in those eyes for no reason.

[Kuiyin: This girl has enough favorability, the old driver brakes! ]

Artemis' heart was pounding, thinking of the belief she had always adhered to, she quickly looked away from Zhi Geng to calm down the inexplicable excitement in her heart.

"If Persephone was here, she couldn't help but reach out and pick some of these beautiful flowers at this moment, in order to find out what kind of flower seeds can quietly bloom such a different kind of miracle. .” Artemis seemed to have found a topic that could divert her mind, and quickly recovered from her shyness just now.

"Persephone?" Zhi Geng complied with Artemis' topic.

"Yes, a guy who always likes to complain about the ears of rice and the lack of beauty in the ears of wheat." Speaking of his friend, Artemis couldn't help joking: "This guy Persephone tirelessly resists her every time." Mother, oh—the beauty of the gentle harvest goddess Demeter, who refused to praise the miracles that the seeds of the grain brought to human existence, and was only intoxicated in exploring the roots of the gorgeous blooming of various flowers."

"However, I prefer hunting as a show rather than admiring flowers." The sense of accomplishment of catching prey is the most exciting experience for Artemis.

"Then maybe we can go through this sea of ​​flowers first to see if there is a dense jungle on the other side of the mountain." Zhi Geng suggested.

"There will definitely be jungles, and perhaps all kinds of beautiful and cunning prey." Artemis smiled extraordinarily brightly, and there was a faint desire to fight in his clear eyes.

[Kui Yin: With all due respect, Artemis does not have the mercy and kindness that other goddesses should have in terms of hunting. ]

[This is what sets her apart from other goddesses. ]

When casting silver light on all things on the earth, she is the elegant and noble goddess of the moon. When chasing prey swiftly and vigorously, she is the fierce and decisive god of hunting. This kind of contradictory and changeable character endows Artemis and different charm.

[Kui Yin: With such high praise, don't attack her. ]

[I have a sense of proportion. ]

Zhi Geng and Artemis drove their handsome horses carefully through the large sea of ​​flowers, and soon came to the towering mountain peak. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the goal was a piece of lush greenery. jungle.

When passing a hillside with a clear spring flowing, Zhi Geng accidentally saw a young girl with a half-hidden appearance. The girl had soft golden hair, wore a wreath on her head, and was wearing a green vine woven clothes. With his head down, he carefully fiddled with a strangely shaped daffodil.

Seeing Zhi Geng stop, Artemis followed his gaze and exclaimed softly, "Ah, it turned out to be Persephone!"

"Hey—Persephone, my dear friend!" Artemis called to the girl, and took the horse a few steps forward.

At this time, the girl also heard the sound and looked at her, Artemis said with a smile: "I clearly remember that you were ordered by your mother to stay at home, but I didn't expect you to walk out quietly."

Seeing her old friend, Persephone was overjoyed, and was about to respond to Artemis' warm greeting, but suddenly saw Zhi Geng behind Artemis, she was stunned, and forgot to say If not, he just stared at Zhi Geng in a daze.

"Persephone?"

Artemis yelled again, seeing that the other party still didn't respond, his eyes fell directly behind her, and he immediately understood.

Aphrodite is so beautiful, there is no one who is not attracted to him.Artemis understood her friend's gaffe very well, so she deliberately coughed loudly several times, and then woke up Persephone who was intoxicated by Aphrodite's beauty.

Realizing her gaffe just now, Persephone blushed and looked away from Zhi Geng, and instead extended an invitation to Artemis.

"Dear Artemis, the best of the noble goddesses, my friend, hurry up and follow me to explore this gorgeous and strange daffodil." Although her words were aimed at Artemis Si said, but his eyes couldn't help but glance behind Artemis.

How could Artemis not understand Persephone's sweet and lovely drunkard's shy mind, and her friends also like Aphrodite, this knowledge makes Artemis very happy, because it just shows that The charm of Aphrodite.

If it were at another time, Artemis would definitely agree to her friend's invitation, but today, her main entertainment should be hunting, and Aphrodite is her own partner, so she directly rejected Perry's invitation. Invitation from the earphones.

Zhi Geng glanced thoughtfully at the lost Persephone, then drove the horse and followed Artemis towards the forest.

[Kui Yin: What's wrong? ]

[I remembered something. ]

[Kui Yin: What's the matter? ]

[The story of Pluto snatching a marriage in Greek mythology. ]

In the story, Persephone picks flowers with her friends, Artemis, the moon goddess, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Then when she inadvertently leaves her friend and chooses to pick a narcissus, the earth suddenly splits open, and the underworld The king of God appeared in a chariot drawn by four black horses, and brought Persephone back to the dark kingdom of death.

Although Athena has not yet been born, Artemis has not picked flowers with Persephone, and the background of the story is also very different, Zhigeng still cares a little bit.

"Aphrodite, dear Aphrodite," Artemis took out the bow and arrow from his back, looked at the birds and beasts in front of him, and said eagerly, "Let's compare and see who hunts the most beautiful animal and special."

The purpose of Zhigeng coming to this mountain range was to accompany Artemis to hunt, so at this moment, he would naturally not refuse Artemis's competition.

Seeing that Aphrodite had accepted her competition invitation, Artemis raised her lips happily and clenched the silver bow in her hand.

It just so happened that a golden-horned deer broke into Artemis' sight, and the eyes of this beautiful hunting goddess lit up.

Among all animals, Artemis likes deer the most, and the deer with golden horns is the most irresistible existence of this goddess.

"This prey is mine." After confidently saying this to Aphrodite, Artemis quickly drove his horse to hunt down the poor golden-horned deer.

Because Artemis said that the rules of the game were to see who hunted the most beautiful animal last, so Zhi Geng was not in a hurry to hunt at the moment, so he let the horse walk slowly.

However, before he had gone far, there was a panicked cry for help from behind him.

Zhi Geng turned around and saw Persephone with a terrified face.

The goddess ran towards him in extreme embarrassment, the corolla on top of her head was crooked, and the veil that originally covered half of her face slipped to her ears, revealing a beautiful face.

Because of the violent running, the clothes on Persephone's body woven by the green vine demon have already become messy, and the green leaves on the shoulders, thighs and navel that were originally used for decoration and cover also followed her. Running and began to fall, so that a large piece of white skin was exposed.

After seeing Zhi Geng, she seemed to have seen a savior, and ran to Zhi Geng at a faster speed, grabbed Zhi Geng's wrist with both hands, and begged very eagerly: "Help me, help me, dear Aphrodite !"

Her eyes were filled with tears, and her long black eyelashes were also stained with crystal tears, and the mist in her beautiful eyes made her look pitiful.

Zhi Geng let Persephone hold his wrist tightly, and asked in a soft voice: "Honey, tell me what happened?"

"I was pursued by two terrible men whom I had heard from my mother, Thanatos, the god of death, and Hypros, the twin brother of the sleeper, who said they wanted a Queen of Hades, and they wanted to catch me Go back to the underworld and grab back that boundless abyss that is smoldering with death," Persephone became more and more frightened as she spoke, her whole body couldn't help but tremble, "I don't want to go there, there is only cold, rotten, endless darkness and the unwillingness of the undead. Sigh of plaintive terror, I shall go mad!"

"I can't be taken to the underworld. If I were taken there, my mother, Demeter, would be heartbroken. She would stop everything on the earth from growing and turn the beautiful land into a wasteland. Persephone sobbed, crystal tears slowly dripping down the corners of her eyes.

"Aphrodite, can you help me, this poor supplicant?"

"As long as you change into my clothes, put on my flower crown and veil to divert their attention, and when they take you away as me, I will have more time to escape their endless pursuit. "

Seeing that Zhi Geng didn't speak, Persephone panicked even more, begging almost humblely: "Help me, dear Aphrodite, what they need is a woman to be the princess of the underworld, for the terrible The lord of the underworld reproduces, once I am captured, I will never come back, but you are different."

[Kui Yin: This girl is quite selfish. Didn't she think that if you replace her, the identity of a man is discovered, and then he will be directly destroyed by the Pluto in a fit of anger?Although if this male is you, the possibility of this is zero. ]

"Help me Aphrodite, Shupros and Thanatos didn't see me, you are so good-looking, even if you pretend to be a woman, you will definitely not be discovered by them, even if you are really unfortunate enough to be discovered , they will definitely not bear to criticize half a point because of your appearance."

"Only you can help me, the trap I made won't trap them for long, help me, please, kind Aphrodite, please help me!"

Zhi Geng lowered his eyes, and after a few seconds of silence, he replied, "Okay."

The author has something to say: In the next chapter, I will start to shame the Goddess of Beauty!Don't ask me about my morals! ! ! !
