She received the gift of God [Greek mythology]

Pandora coughed lightly, but she couldn't look away because her hair would be pulled.

"I'm . . . looking for someone," she quickly corrected, "for something, exactly."

Hermes actually immediately understood the reason for her revision: "If you find that thing, you will be able to see him again?"

She thought about it, and it was right to say that: "That's it."

"Who are you looking for? Apollo? Another god?"

Pandora pursed her lips and did not answer.Even if Hermes was told that he was the one she was looking for and that everything in front of him was a dream, he might not believe it.Besides, before that, she must first find the last part of the power of disaster.Otherwise, if Hermes wakes up first, it is likely to be further corroded.That was not what she wanted.

Hermes narrowed his eyes slightly, a little displeased: "I'm asking a question."

"I can't tell."

He was thrown directly from the opposite side—three questions in a row, with a cold voice: "Then what does he have to do with me? Why do you know who I am? Why do you follow me?"

"I..." Pandora closed her eyes, "I know what will happen in the future. If I'm by your side, I can find what I want."

The young Hermes laughed lightly. He let go of her lock of hair, turned to press her lips with his fingertips, and rubbed her lips with his fingertips deliberately. Tell me, it doesn't work for me."

"I'm not lying," Pandora looked into his eyes, "Not only do I know that you are the son of Maia and Zeus, I also know what priesthood you will assume."

Grasping the moment of hesitation when he heard the words, she continued to declare calmly and confidently: "You will become the messenger of the gods, and at the same time the guardian of the shepherds. The golden staff in your hand will bring wealth and good luck to the world. You will also be A guide to all living beings, a spirit walker who takes the souls of the dead to the underworld. Finally, you are also the god of deception, protecting thieves, liars and magicians."

Her words gripped Hermes' mind.His pupils flickered violently, and the thin crown of light behind him was looming, but he kept staring straight at her, not missing any change in her expression.After being speechless for a long time, he immediately trembled and took another half step forward, almost touching her forehead: "How do you know?"

Pandora didn't retreat: "I just know."

Hermes - choke.After another half hour, he finally relaxed his expression.

"Well, let me see if you really have the ability to predict, or if you can lie in a frank tone," Hermes breathed on the tip of her nose and lips while laughing, "You are not allowed to run away."

Pandora supported the boy's shoulders and pushed him back to arm's length: "I won't run away."

Hermes wanted to say something, but at this moment, the door of the Rock Palace suddenly slammed.

Someone is knocking on the door.

Hermes rolled his eyes, instead of answering the door, he pulled Pandora into the side hall instead.

It's like a living room.Beside the wall—a pair of stone lamp holders are carved in the shape of flower elves, holding a huge night pearl. The soft light of the pearl is reflected on the translucent rock pillars hanging above the head, and the broken light is overflowing. The gold and silver utensils placed in the side hall The flickering, the elegant fragrance mist from nowhere is hazy and lingering, more and more dreamlike.

Pandora saw a small bed in the corner at a glance, and there was an empty swaddle in it.

She turned her head and met Hermes' eyes.The newborn god seemed ashamed of the small bed she had been lying on before, dragged her to the couch and sat down, and said seriously: "Your bun was blown away by the wind, I will help you." You comb again."

"I can comb myself—"

Hermes had a quick mind and had already figured out the structure of the bun. His fingers were also nimble and quick. Before Pandora could finish her refusal, he had already untied the coiled hair.

The honey-colored long curly hair immediately fell down, hanging from Pandora's shoulders to the back of her chest. She was a little helpless, and stared back at him: "I said I will do it myself."

But he looked at her in a daze - his pupils dilated uncontrollably.

She blinked, and then she joked again: "Are you dumbfounded? Have you seen enough?"

The deceitful god of bully teenage status is addictive.Originally, Pandora's personality was not considered lively, but the opportunity was really rare. Although she still had to find the whereabouts of the Calamity Force, she couldn't help but seize every opportunity to tease him.

Hermes was silent for a moment in embarrassment, his expression had improved compared to before, his complexion remained unchanged, and his ears were not red.He didn't know where to conjure up a fine-toothed ox horn comb, and pressed the cool back of the comb against Pandora's cheek, making her turn back, and then—started to comb her hair without saying a word.

He moved cautiously, but was inexperienced, from combing from head to tail, and pulling the hair that was entangled in one place, she couldn't help crying softly.He froze in bewilderment, and quickly realized the correct way to do it, and then combed the curly hair at the bottom section by section.Then, according to the original style of the bun, he dexterously ran through the hair with his fingers, braided the long hair into bundles and coiled it up, and finally fixed it with hair pins. After a while, he restored her hairstyle, and even added— Some patterns were woven into ribbons, and a few delicate flowers folded from vases were inserted.

As it used to be, Hermes seemed particularly fond of playing with her hair.

When combing the hair and combing the hair, the fingertips will inevitably press the scalp and the skin of the back of the neck, which seems to be ambiguous.It's fine if it's a game between lovers, what is Hermes now?Pandora was in a complicated mood, and touched the luxurious bun: "Thank you."

Hermes seemed dissatisfied with her reaction, and asked directly, "You don't like it?"

"No, it's just... I'm not used to having other people do this for me."

He raised the corners of his bright red lips, and became happy again, but he continued to ask the bottom line: "Where did you come from? Usually there is no waiter to help you comb your hair?"

During the inexplicable twist-up session, the knock on the door never stopped, bang bang bang.

Pandora didn't answer his question: "Since just now, someone has been knocking loudly on the door."

Hermes smiled and said, "I know."

"So, you're not going...?"

The other party was confident: "It's just dawn, and the guests who come to visit at this time are not polite, and they knock on the door rudely, why should I open the door for him?"

So he just pulled her to comb her hair and pretended not to hear?

Pandora had some clues about the identity of the visitor, and felt that such a delay might cause even bigger troubles: "The other party has no intention of leaving. If this continues, Lord Maia will also be awakened by knocking on the door."

Before she could finish speaking, there was a loud bang.Then there was the sound of rummaging through cabinet doors and opening and closing doors.

Pandora wanted to follow the sound to check, but Hermes held her hand.

Not long after, a strong light enveloped the door, and a tall blond god broke into the side hall, with a sullen expression on his face, his eyes fixed on the black-haired and green-eyed boy: "Damn thief, where did you hide my cattle? !"

"Are you Apollo, the son of Leto?" Hermes looked around calmly, and smiled softly, "Why are you making fun of me when we meet? This is the palace where my mother lives. Where can there be livestock? ?”

Apollo didn't have the patience to argue, and shouted in a cold voice: "Stop talking nonsense, tell me honestly where you hid my cow! Otherwise, I won't be polite, and I will throw you into Tartarus to teach you a lesson." -pause!"

Hermes sighed: "Since I entered the door, there have been cattle and herds. There must be some misunderstanding. I believe you didn't mean to slander me. I can swear, let alone stealing cattle, I have never seen it. The cattle you are talking about, at most, I have heard that Apollo, the son of Leto, had a lot of cattle and sheep, that's all."

He looked at Pandora with an aggrieved face, as if asking for her approval: "I was just born yesterday, and I did go out once, but I ran into this troubled girl not far away, so I brought her back to take care of her. After that We've been together all night, and I was combing her hair just now, why would I want to steal your cow?"

Apollo seemed to have noticed that there was another person beside Hermes. He stared at Pandora and questioned silently.

Pandora resisted the urge to stare at Hermes and lied for him: "He's right, I've been with him all night."

Transfer the stolen goods together all night, and then leave the scene of the crime.

As expected of a born liar, facts and lies are mixed, covering up the key points, and speaking out becomes another meaning.

Since the appearance of Apollo, Hermes has not let go of her hand.After she finished speaking, he praised her and scratched her palm with his thumb as if cooperating.

Apollo turned between them in confusion, and then snorted coldly: "How could I possibly believe in the pre-arranged rhetoric? I was born full of lies and wanton theft. If you are not allowed to accept punishment, the people in the sky and the earth There will always be a day when the beautiful house and ranch cannot escape your murderous hand. Obediently follow me to see Father God! Otherwise, I don’t mind using violence.”

Saying so, Apollo firmly grabbed Hermes' arm, and directly dragged him up and took him away.

Pandora got up and caught up: "Hermes..."

The black-haired boy was held hostage by Apollo, struggling exaggeratedly, arguing non-stop, but before being taken away, he took the time to turn around and winked at her. - A "just wait for me to come back" expression.

Apollo dragged Hermes into the chariot, raised the reins, the Pegasus neighed, and set off to gallop.

This dream is based on Hermes' past, and it stands to reason that there is nothing to worry about.Pandora hesitated for a while, and finally left without following them.

I don't know if it was because the owner of the dream left, the rock palace suddenly became extremely silent.Pandora was not afraid, and took the opportunity to organize her thoughts: In the previous dream, when the power of disaster turned into "Pandora", it would not emit a special aura.And since falling into this dream, she has not sensed any familiar aura.The difficulty of searching has increased, so she can only pay more attention and not let go of any abnormalities.

Thinking of this, Pandora decided to go outside—to find clues.

She pushed open the palace door, and unexpectedly found that the entrance of the cave was shrouded in mist.But when Apollo took Hermes away just now, the morning light was still everywhere outside the door.

There's something wrong with this fog.

Pandora wanted to retreat into the rock palace, but when she turned around, she was shocked to find that the entire cave and the gate had disappeared!A gray mist as thick as foam surrounded her.

We can only move forward.She regained her composure and walked in the direction that was originally outside the cave.

After walking for a long time, it seems that there is only a moment.The gray fog gradually thinned, and she quickened her pace, and found herself standing outside the exit hole of the rock palace in Killini Mountain, facing the peaceful valley.The familiar woods and river were bathed in the light of the rising sun, it was still morning, as if the fog just now was an illusion, she just walked through the gate of the rock palace and came outside.

But something always feels wrong.

Pandora wanted to get closer to confirm the situation outside.

But before she took a step, someone suddenly grabbed her arm from behind.

Subconsciously trying to break free, she turned around, but bumped into Cui Bo's turbulent eyes.

"Pandora, it's really you..."

"Why are you back already?"

Questions rang out overlappingly.

Hermes' voice was a little trembling, his face sullen, but he couldn't hide the surging emotions underneath.

Pandora asked with a puzzled smile, "What happened?"

"It's up to me to ask this question, what happened? Where have you been?" The black-haired boy noticed her confusion, quickly and carefully examined her, his eyes froze in her hair, and his fingers on her arm were loose A little bit, but still tightly circled, "When you returned home after solving the Apollo matter that day, you had disappeared. After that, nearly a hundred years have passed."
