[Comprehensive] On the Unity of the Goddess and the Cook

Hearing Hestia's question, Pandora could hardly believe her ears.

"Goddess, don't you think I'm an ominous person? Is a person like me worthy of working in your temple?"

"Of course, I think you Pandora is very good. You are a kind and beautiful girl. I think you will have a very happy life in my temple."

"Goddess..." Before Pandora could finish her sentence, she threw herself at Hestia's feet, weeping uncontrollably.

Seeing her crying, Hestia could only pat her on the shoulder as she did when coaxing Athena and Hephaestus to comfort her.

After crying for a long time, Pandora finally calmed down.She got up again and knelt at Hestia's feet respectfully, looking at Hestia seriously. "Goddess Hestia, I swear that I will be loyal to you starting today. Even if my body disappears, my soul will only be loyal to you. If there is a time limit, it will be eternity!"

Pandora's solemn oath of allegiance made Hestia a little dazed. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing.

"Get up, Pandora. From now on, you are mine, and no one can bully you anymore." Hestia finally said her promise boldly like a big sister.

Her words brought tears to Pandora's eyes again.

It was very late at night, and the two of them decided to take shelter here at the temple.

The next day, Hestia planned to take Pandora back to his temple after visiting the surrounding human settlements.Pandora, who already regarded herself as a qualified servant, would naturally not object to her decision.

The two of them looked like ordinary women, blending inconspicuously among humans.

They noticed that today's human beings are in a hurry, and some of them still have sadness on their faces.

Hestia felt a little curious.

Pandora, who had already begun to observe the situation silently, decided to be anxious about the lord's urgency, and immediately stepped forward to ask someone casually.

"May I ask what day it is today, and why do you all look a little sad?"

"Well, today is where we pay homage to the dead. It is said that the dead will be managed by Hades, the king of the underworld. Hades has never performed miracles, and we don't know how to pay homage to him. I don't know if he will ignore our place because of this. You must know that many people died here during the great flood.” The person who spoke sighed again and walked away with a sad face.

"Goddess?" Pandora looked at Hestia, she didn't expect to get such a sad answer.She has never been able to let go of the disaster she has caused.

"Let's go to the underworld. I haven't seen Hades for a while."

Hestia brought Pandora to the underworld, and they appeared at a certain distance from the first river of the underworld, the Akeron River.It's not that they don't want to be closer to the Akeron River, but that they can't.

At this moment, the Akron River is full of dead human souls.Zeus stipulated that the souls of human beings after death should come to the underworld to be judged by Hades, the king of the underworld.And before, mankind experienced a great flood that can be described as a catastrophe, so many people died, and the souls of these people came to the underworld.But they couldn't cross the Akeron River. Some souls tried to cross the river, but were dragged into the water by the spirits in the water, leaving only a scream.

As for the gathering of human souls on the banks of the Akeron River, the underworld seemed to know nothing about it, and no one came out to take care of these souls.As a result, there are more and more human souls on the banks of the Akeron River, and these souls let out miserable howls, making the banks of the Akeron River windy and creepy.

Seeing this situation, Hestia frowned. "Come on, let's cross the river."

She took Pandora to avoid the attention of these spirits, and quietly came to the other side of the river.Without saying a word all the way, she brought Pan Duolai to Hades' palace.

At this moment, the palace of Hades is also full of gloomy winds, and it looks as if it is occupied by the souls of evil spirits.In fact, there were only two people in the entire palace, Hades, a severe narcolepsy who couldn't sleep with dark circles under his eyes, and Thanatos, the only one he could enslave.Now Thanatos' long silky silver hair has been turned into a bird's nest by him, and there are dark circles under his eyes that cannot be concealed.

"Hades, why are you so tired?" As a good sister who cared about her younger brother, Hestia couldn't care about anything else as soon as she saw Hades' state.Her eyes are now full of concern for Hades.

"Hestia, you are here." Seeing Hestia's arrival, Hades' originally irritable mood improved a lot.After all, Hestia was the only one of his siblings who really wanted him well.

Thanatos glanced at Hestia, and then spontaneously went to get some tea and snacks.As the only student in the Underworld who graduated from Hestia's New Western Cooking School, the food Thanatos made was quite to Hestia's liking.Only if it didn't look like he was floating when he came and went.

"Hades, what happened to you here? Why is your face so ugly? And when I came, I saw a lot of human souls on the bank of the Akeron River. What are you going to do? You can't let them stay here forever Is there?" Hestia asked a bunch of questions like a cannonball as soon as he sat down.

Unexpectedly, as her questions were thrown out one by one, Hades' complexion became darker and darker, and even Thanatos on the side did the same.The god who took the god of death as the god of death even lingered around the body with a visible death, so that Pandora at the side couldn't help but leaned closer to Hestia.

"Hestia stop talking." Hades asked Hestia to stop talking with a gloomy face.

Hestia cooperated and immediately closed her mouth. She could tell that Hades at this time was in the same state as when she and Poseidon disturbed her and Poseidon in Kronos' stomach before, or He was on the verge of breaking out.But even though she closed her mouth, she kept staring at Hades, asking him to give an explanation no matter what.

Hades was defeated by the look in her eyes.He propped his forehead with his hands, with a rare painful expression on his face.

"Hestia, do you know how long I haven't slept? Do you know what that bastard Zeus did? Do you know that he swept the souls of those dead humans into the underworld like cleaning garbage? You know the underworld The pain of having no gods to work for but me? You know the pain of being a bunch of minions who are lazier than yourself?"

A series of "you know" from Hades knocked Hestia unconscious.

Thanatos seemed to feel that there was still more to say, and he added fuel to the fire again. "Goddess, do you know the pain of being caught by His Majesty as a coolie? Do you know how long it has been since I left His Majesty's temple? Do you know how painful it is to see my twin brother sleeping every time? You know... ah!"

Thanatos's next you know before he could say it, he was hit hard by Hestia on the head that had become almost like a bird's nest.

"You know I've been hearing a lot of pain you know, you bastard!" Hestia was clearly stimulated.

The frying pan, which hadn't shown up for a long time, kept hitting Lord Reaper's head heavily.

"Also, if I remember correctly, your twin brother's priesthood is the god of sleep. If he can't sleep, he will be in trouble. I will convey your dissatisfaction with him to your mother and your brother!"

"No!" Hearing that Hestia was going to sue, Thanatos didn't care about the face of the so-called god, he grabbed Hestia's skirt and didn't let go.Just kidding, if his terrifying mother god and ghost brother knew about his secret slander, he would definitely die a miserable death.Even if he is the god of death, he will die.It's a shame to be a dead Reaper.

"Hestia, aren't you dissatisfied with me?" Hades said, and His Majesty Pluto, who was already extremely irritable because he couldn't sleep, felt that what Hestia said just now seemed to include him.You know he said a lot just now, you know.

"I'm just dissatisfied, so what?" Hestia, who was in a state of concentration, seemed to get angry easily, and she glared at Hades without showing any weakness.

"Goddess!" Pandora exclaimed worriedly. She had never seen Hestia fight, but she felt that Pluto, as the lord of a world, was stronger than her goddess. She was afraid that Pluto, who lost his temper and lost his temper, would teach him a lesson. her goddess.Although she was scared in her heart, she still firmly stood in front of Hestia, intending to step over her corpse if Hades wanted to get angry.

"Pandora, get out of the way." Hestia pulled Pandora aside impatiently.

She simply came straight to Hades with her frying pan in one hand.She looked directly at Hades, and then found that she was shorter than Hades, and the two couldn't look at each other, so she simply pushed Hades back on his chair, so that she appeared taller than Hades. She is very satisfied.

"Hades, are you an idiot? If the mountain doesn't come, it will be me, won't I just go to the mountain? Since you can't order those slackers in the underworld, then you won't go find someone you can order?"

"Just kidding, if I announce to the entire protoss that I want to find a new subordinate god, how many people are willing to come to this dark underworld? And if I go to recruit people with great fanfare, do you think Zeus can sit still?" Hades said The voice was low, and there was deep displeasure in it.

However, he was immediately hit on the head by Hestia, and the murder weapon was Hestia's frying pan.Although the goddess became much more angry, she still remembered that she was beating her brother's head now, so she showed mercy no matter what, and said lightly.

"Hades, is your head only used for sleeping? Who said that your helpers have to come from the Protoss. There are so many human souls outside by the Akeron River, aren't they ready-made helpers? Don't you think Prome Don’t you have confidence in the wisdom of the race created by Hughes? Even if they can’t do a job alone, they have more people than our entire protoss, Mount Olympus, the sea world, and the underworld. You just need Just be a little more diligent and give them some strength."

Hades felt a little enlightened, and he was indeed a little rigid.Yes, the number of human beings is definitely more than that of the protoss.Moreover, their souls belong to the underworld after death, which was also said by Zeus himself.So he just uses his own things in the underworld, even Zeus can't say anything.

And Hades secretly made a decision, wait.He believed that with Zeus' divine quality, he would attack human women sooner or later, so he would naturally have an illegitimate child.And not every illegitimate child will be as lucky as Apollo and Hermes to be recognized by Zeus and become a god.Some of them will definitely come to the underworld after death, and when that happens, he will keep these people.Hades thought it a wonderful thing to have the son of Zeus work for him.Think of it as Zeus's revenge for causing trouble for him and keeping him from sleeping.

"Thank you Hestia, I already have a plan." Hades, who had figured everything out in an instant, sincerely thanked Hestia.

"It's nothing, I also felt it when I saw Pandora. I can take in human beings as servants, so can you." Hestia actually felt guilty, and she always felt that Hades would miss her even without her. There is a way.

She suddenly thought of another thing: "By the way, when you choose a helper, you must choose those who are hardworking, and you must not choose those..." She was embarrassed to continue, saying that you should choose someone who is as lazy as you.She always has a feeling that Hades will sooner or later create a top-down lazy underworld.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention."

"Then I'll leave first. I didn't bring you food this time. I'll make up for it next time. You can also come to my temple." Hestia apologized to Hades.

"Let's go Pandora."

"Goddess, please wait." Pandora stopped her.

"What's wrong with Pandora?" Hestia was a little confused.

"Goddess, you mercifully saved me who was helpless. I had vowed to serve you faithfully forever. But I came to the underworld and saw my helpless compatriots by the Akeron River. I am ashamed Shaken. They all died because of me, but I was able to get your favor and live happily in your temple."

Many tears flowed from Pandora's eyes: "I am a sinner of mankind, and I will never be able to redeem this sin. So I beg you to let me stay in the underworld. I want to do something for them. I know I don't have much power, But as long as I can stay in the underworld, I can do anything."

The author has something to say: the third update.Finally sent Pandora to the underworld, but it was Hestia who she declared her allegiance to.
