[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

Hephaestus stood in a stone cave on Mount Aitona, fiddling with the flame in his hand in every possible way.

Knowing that the envoy Hermes would come, in order to avoid being disturbed by Eurynome, he specially left the palace and went to this cave to wait for the most cunning god in Greek mythology.

The legendary god of voyeurism is about to come...

It is estimated that Hera was about to be driven crazy at this moment, and Hephaestus couldn't help chuckling when he thought of her being trapped in a chair at a loss and losing face.

The bright flames properly shone on his smiling face, adding a bit of sunshine and charm to this facial features that could only be regarded as correct.

Hermes saw this smile as soon as he came in, and was a little puzzled why the Empress Dowager thought Hephaestus was ugly, and it seemed that he was not lame.

Hephaestus extinguished the flame in his hand, his eyes fell on Hermes, and he asked lazily, "What's the matter?"

Hearing this, Hermes approached him with a sad face, and said as he walked, "Dear Hephaestus, I am Hermes, the envoy of the gods, and the noble queen is enduring the icy chains at this moment. The pain of broken skin is like tens of thousands of wild beasts tearing their chests. This pain makes the delicate lilies blooming on the top of Olympus lower their eyebrows, and has no intention of giving human beings the blessing of a happy marriage. Sad and cruel thing..."

Hermes said a lot with a sad expression, and Hephaestus rolled his eyes in his heart, and finally couldn't help interrupting him, "Just tell me the purpose of coming to me."

Hermes paused, seeing the impatience in Hephaestus' eyes, and after a half-second of silence, he said: "His Majesty the Great God-King hopes that you can follow me back to Mount Olympus, to save you from being trapped by chains." The noble queen who lives here unleashes the shackles."

"If I unchain Hera and she poisons me in turn, my life may be in danger."

Hermes put his right hand on his chest, "Please believe that His Majesty the Great God-King will not let this happen." Afraid that Hephaestus would not believe it, he quickly said: "The noble queen will also be grateful for your rescue. Grace."

Hephaestus shook his head without hesitation when he met Hermes' expectant gaze.

No matter how Hermes persuaded him, Hephaestus just refused to agree. Wouldn't it be a lot less fun to agree so soon.

Hermes had no choice but to stare at Hephaestus. Just when he didn't know what to do, another guest came to the cave on Mount Aitona.

Hephaestus squinted his eyes halfway, looking at Dionysus, who was holding a Bacchus stick and wearing a wreath on his head and dressed in joy, his eyes stopped at the flagon at his waist.Although he already knew the other party's Dionysus identity, Hephaestus still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Who are you?"

"Young and talented artist Hephaestus, I am Dionysus, the god of wine who is always full of joy." Dionysus raised a bright smile and gestured cheerfully: "Let us work together Wearing a beautiful wreath made of ivy and grape ears, weaving the troubles of the world into the purple vines, after drinking this sweet nectar, all the troubles and grievances will become mellow wine and float on Mount Etona in the air..."

Hephaestus looked at the eloquent Dionysus, and subtly twitched the corners of his mouth. He suddenly felt how normal Thetis and Eurynome were talking.

Hermes noticed Hephaestus' tiny movements and recalled his previous attitude. The clever oracle immediately understood that the young man in front of him didn't like them talking like this, so he expressed Dionysus's words concisely. Meaning: "Bacchus has brought the wine he brewed himself, I hope you can drink it with him and put your troubles aside."

While Hermes was speaking, Dionysus had already put the wine on the stone table beside him. As the wine was poured out slowly, the alluring aroma of the wine floated into Hephaestus' nose, which made him His heart was itching, he hadn't had a drink for a long time.

Fire Qilin asked him to follow the general plot, as long as the result is the same, it doesn't matter how the process is.In Greek mythology, the original Hephaestus would eventually be drunk by Dionysus, the god of wine, and then Dionysus would take the opportunity to bring him back to Mount Olympus with Hermes.Hephaestus, who was drunk, danced happily. The happiness made him let go of his hatred and unlocked the chains for Hera. Then he built a gorgeous palace for the gods with his superb smelting talent, and finally settled in the Mount Olympus.

But now he is Hephaestus, everything will be different, and such unglamorous things as being drunk will never happen to him.Thinking of his previous life, he claimed that he would never get drunk after a thousand cups. Since there is free wine to drink, it would be a pity if he refused.Thinking of this, Hephaestus readily picked up the wine glass and drank it down. The aroma of wine remained in his mouth, which was sweet but not strong.

Seeing this, Dionysus exchanged glances with Hermes, picked up the fine wine on the stone table, and drank it with his head raised.

Dionysus is not only the god of wine, but also the god of carnival and debauchery. He always has endless topics to talk about, and he goes back and forth, drinking all the wine in his stomach.

The alcohol content of the grapes was not high in the first place, and Diostos thought that Hephaestus would be easy to get drunk, so he didn't bring too much wine.

This result directly led to the end of all the wine brought by Dionysus, and Hephaestus' cheeks were slightly flushed, his eyes were clear, and he was not drunk at all.

Thinking back then, he even dared to drink several large glasses of Polish rectified vodka, the strongest wine in the world, so how could he be drunk by mere wine.

Looking at the depressed Dionysus, Hephaestus patted him on the shoulder in a good mood, and said earnestly: "Go back quickly, Dionysus who is always full of joy, and come back next time with a different kind of wine."

Dionysus hugged the empty flagon, bowed his head, turned and left silently.

Hermes glanced at Dionysus' slightly lost back, then turned his gaze to Hephaestus, and seemed a little hesitant when he wanted to say something.

Hephaestus folded his hands on his shoulders, looked at Hermes who was hesitant to speak with interest, and said lightly, "Why don't you leave? Are you planning to stay here with me for the night?"

Hermes coughed uncomfortably: "How do you agree to go to Mount Olympus and unlock the chains for the Empress?"

"What do you think?" Hephaestus walked up to Hermes step by step, leaned close to his ear, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "You are so smart, why don't you guess what I think."

Warm breath sprayed on his ears, Hermes' body was startled suddenly, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

Seeing his reaction in his eyes, a smile flashed in Hephaestus' eyes, "Dear Hermes, go back and tell you the great God King, if I want to unlock Hera's chains, I must There is enough sincerity, otherwise the honorable queen will sit in that chair forever."

Hermes glared at Hephaestus, and left annoyed.

"By the way, by the way, if his sincerity is enough, I can make Mount Olympus even more magnificent." Hephaestus added.

After Hermes left, Hephaestus touched his chin, "Brother Qilin, I guess Zeus will come to me in person."

Fire Qilin gave Hephaestus a sideways look: "You are very confident."

Hephaestus: "There is no limit to Zeus' morality. Since he can turn into a bull for the sake of beautiful women, why didn't he personally investigate for the son who is interested. Besides, as the king of the gods, he needs to make his temple More splendor, and make Olympus more magnificent under his rule. I am sitting here, and I believe that Zeus will come soon."

In fact, it is exactly as Hephaestus said...

When Hermes relayed the words of Hephaestus to Zeus, the king of the sky was successfully aroused, and soon appeared over Mount Aitona.

Hearing the sound of thunder outside, Hephaestus walked out of the cave without haste.

Zeus stared at the entrance of the cave with sharp eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly after seeing Hephaestus coming out: "Hephaestus, are you satisfied with letting the king of the gods wait for you?"

Hephaestus raised his head and avoided his question: "It is an honor for His Majesty the God King to come here in person." After speaking, he used the flame to come to Zeus. He didn't like to look up to others. The behavior is disrespectful in the eyes of other gods.

Zeus didn't care much about this, his eyes fell on the flames at Hephaestus' feet, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he unconsciously took on a commanding tone: "Hephaestus, now follow me back to Olin Mount Peas, loose Hera's chains."

Hephaestus stared into Zeus' eyes: "I have one condition."

"Oh? What condition, tell me?" Dare to make a condition with him. It is indeed a bit of courage. Zeus became interested and began to re-examine the child who was abandoned by Hera in front of him. Compared with the gods of the mountain, they are indeed much uglier, but those pure black eyes are very beautiful, and the color of the night is full of confidence.

Hephaestus smiled lightly, and said word by word: "I hope His Majesty the God King can bestow Aphrodite on me."

Zeus' eyes darkened: "Say it again."

"I ask His Majesty the God-King to grant me Aphrodite, the Goddess of Beauty"
