Chapter 34 The Statue of Hera 06

The queen fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"Chief doctor! What's going on! What's wrong with the prince's eyes!" The king also discovered the problem of Nautilus' blindness, and grabbed the white-bearded old man by the collar and asked sharply.

The poor chief doctor was trembling all over, and stammered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the poisonous snake bit the prince's neck, which is too close to the eyes, and the eyes are very fragile, even...even if the toxin is cleared out , His Royal Highness' eyesight is also..."

He looked at the king's furious face, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"I don't care about these excuses!" The king roared angrily, shaking the chief physician's collar: "You must cure the prince! You must cure him no matter what!"

Publicly speaking, as the only child of King Thebes and the destined heir to the throne, Nautilus cannot be blind. Selfishly speaking, the king does not want to imagine that his young child can only live in the dark in the future. What will it be like to live in the middle...

The white-haired chief physician was drenched in cold sweat. Facing the king's wrath, he couldn't even speak.

Now that the prince looks like this, human medical skills can no longer cure him. The only thing we can hope for is the mercy of the gods on Mount Olympus.

"Father, father king..."

A hoarse voice came from behind, and Nautilus sat up from the bed with difficulty under the support of the queen.When he was just awake, he heard the conversation between the king and the chief physician, and soon found that his eyes were aching, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

He touched his eyes, showing a bitter smile.The holy and beautiful goddess must have felt that she had offended her, so she gave herself such a severe punishment.

But he didn't blame her.

"Father, queen mother." Nautilus leaned weakly on the cushion and asked, "Do you know that there is a goddess with red hair and golden eyes on Mount Olympus?"

"Red hair and golden eyes?" The queen's eyes showed confusion. She didn't know that there was such a goddess in Olympus.

The king let go of the chief physician's collar, walked quickly to the side of the bed, held Nautilus' hand, and asked, "My son Nauti, why do you care about such a goddess?"

The bitter smile turned into a sweet one. Nautilus clutched his left chest, felt the powerful and steady beating sound underneath, and said with infinite longing: "Ah, that's because she stole my heart."

He sat up straight, groped to find the window, raised his face and prayed to the vast sky: "Good and gentle God of love and beauty, please hear my prayer, that beautiful goddess You stole my heart, but I don't even know her name, please tell me her name, please promise me to meet her again, I don't expect her to respond to my feelings, I just ask her If you can know my mind, in that case, even if I am blind forever, I will be willing..."

So from this day on, the Kingdom of Thebes fell into a carpet-like search for a goddess with red hair and golden pupils. Pray to the gods on Mount Olympus, pray that they can restore the light to His Royal Highness, and pray that they can tell the name of the goddess...

"Ahhh-!"

Probably because people talked about it too much, even the body of God couldn't bear it, so Qi Xiao sneezed hard.

He glanced around at the temple guards standing in front of him, and asked coldly, "Your Majesty still doesn't want to see me today?"

It has been four days since he was rejected by Zeus when he came to the temple last time. Qi Xiao spent the past four days extremely boring. He spent every day enjoying the scenery in the temple of the Queen of Heaven, researching and studying how to use Hera's divine power, and then just sitting in the temple. Sleeping in a daze by the window.

No way, Hera's jealous and irritable image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. More than half of the gods on Mount Olympus are the illegitimate children or grandchildren of Zeus. Naturally, it is impossible to have a good relationship with Hera, so Without her husband's care, only Defias was left in Hera's life who could speak.

Qi Xiao counted the time, Aphrodite, the God of Love and Beauty, should have heard Nautilus' prayer by now, so what is the opportunity for this goddess, known for her loyalty, to know about Nautilus's prayers? What about Si's admiration for himself and his willingness to meet him in the world, and even develop a short-term underground relationship with him?

I'm afraid the source is still from Zeus.

So seeing Zeus is even more important.

However, to Qi Xiao's dismay, Zeus seemed determined not to see Hera. He didn't even let the guards communicate, and directly issued an oracle. As long as he came to the temple to ask for an interview, he would directly block the door and not let him go.

"So, Your Highness, I'm sorry, Your Majesty does not accept your request..." Qi Xiao, one of the guards, said apologetically.

They were also very helpless, His Majesty was in a cold war with His Highness the Queen of Heaven, and they were also very afraid that Hera's anger would spread to them.Although the Divine Guard is owned by the Divine King and does not need to obey the orders of the Queen of Heaven, it is really not a good thing to be hated by such a powerful and vindictive Highness.

Who knew that His Highness's temper has been uncharacteristically good recently.

"I see." Qi Xiao nodded, turned around and left without saying a word of nonsense.

The ghost knows what Zeus is up to, but he is not the real Hera, and he will not complain about his husband's cold treatment, let alone transfer his dissatisfaction with her husband to others at will.

Qi Xiao carefully pondered Zeus' thoughts, and felt that he was probably betting on Hermes right now, and believed that his son would not let him down, and would soon be able to rescue Io from the Hundred-eyed Giant. So he didn't want to pay attention to Hera's overtures.

In fact, according to the records of Greek mythology, Hermes was indeed very powerful. He planned to kill the Hundred-Eyed Giant, liberate Io, and gloriously fulfilled the mission entrusted to him by God the Father. However, because Hera did not forgive him , Io always kept the form of a cow to endure the harassment of the gadfly. Zeus felt sorry for his lover's suffering, and finally put down his face and begged Hera to ask his wife to lift the curse on his lover.

Qi Xiao narrowed his eyes, that's all, if Zeus doesn't see Hera, he will disappear, one day he will obediently appear in front of Hera.

On the way back, he didn't meet anyone, but when he arrived at the Temple of Heavenly Empress, he saw Defias guarding the gate of the temple, and when he saw him, he quickly walked up to him.

"Good day, Your Highness." Defias bowed politely first, and then turned sideways to give way to the main hall, "Your Highness, Your Highness Aphrodite is here to visit, and I am waiting for you inside."

Aphrodite?Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, did the god of love and beauty come in person?

The arrival of the God of Love and Beauty filled the entire Temple of Heaven with a romantic and fragrant feeling like a sea of ​​flowers.

The god is described in Greek mythology as follows:

She was born from the sea foam of the Aegean Sea, roses floated for her, the sun shone for her, all ugliness and darkness retreated for her, the sea and the earth surrendered before her beauty, she is recognized by the world as the most beautiful The goddess of beauty, the creator of beauty, the god of love and beauty, Aphrodite.

Looking at the goddess sitting by the window, Qi Xiao had to sigh sincerely, the beauty of this goddess is indeed worthy of her title.

Unlike Hera's ostentatious beauty, Aphrodite's beauty is obviously more tranquil.She has long, thick light pink hair, royal blue eyes like stars plucked from the night sky, her figure is slender but plump, her limbs are as round as lotus joints, her skin is soft and smooth, like the finest suet .

She sat by the window and read the book quietly. After realizing that Qi Xiao came in, she closed the book and put it back in its original place without any haste. She stood up with a smile and said, "Good day, Your Highness."

Qi Xiao nodded, "Good day, Fu."

Upon receiving his response, the God of Love and Beauty burst into a pure and charming smile, which made Hua'er feel ashamed when she saw it.

Such a pure and gentle goddess, it is impossible to tell that she has had sex with so many men behind her husband's back, and has given birth to so many illegitimate children, the number is probably comparable to that of Zeus...

This idea popped into Qi Xiao's mind, but he shook his head, thinking that this is the era of Greek mythology with the most unscrupulous and lower limit, unless his brain is broken, he will use the etiquette and moral standards of later generations to evaluate the gods and people of this era .

Aphrodite's relationship with Hera is very ordinary on weekdays. Although she is Hera's daughter-in-law, her frequent cheating and cheating embarrass her husband. Fortunately, Hera doesn't like this son very much. Although she had countless lovers, she had never touched His Majesty the God King, so Hera did not directly conflict with her, and naturally she would not intentionally make things difficult for her.

Looking at Mount Olympus, there are not many gods who dare to directly break into Hera's palace as a guest like her.

"Dear Your Highness, please forgive me for coming uninvited." Aphrodite enthusiastically held Qi Xiao's arm, but Qi Xiao broke free without a trace.She was not annoyed, she sat by the window with a smile, poured a cup of scented tea for herself, and poured a cup for Qi Xiao as well, "I heard from Defias that you went to the temple to find His Majesty again, is that true?"

Qi Xiao sat down opposite her, and said expressionlessly, "Yes."

"Then have you seen His Majesty?"

"No."

Qi Xiao answered without any psychological burden. Maybe Hera would refuse to admit in front of others that she had been rejected by her husband for the sake of dignity and face, but Qi Xiao didn't care about it.

"Ah, that's such a pity." Aphrodite couldn't hear the slightest schadenfreude in her tone, but seemed to be really unwilling for Hera, "Your Majesty has gone too far this time. I have seen that girl named Io, unfortunately, I don't think she is beautiful enough to deserve His Majesty to be so fascinated by her."

From the critical eyes of the god of love and beauty, Io is really mediocre.

"Your Majesty doesn't know how to cherish your love and loyalty, but..." She changed the subject, "Speaking of which, my dear Highness, I do know that there is someone willing to surrender to your charm."
