Constellation Palace Mythology Sealed Land
Chapter 113
The envoys of the gods all dispersed after expressing concerned greetings to me.
I got up from the shade of the silver lake where I pretended to be dead, and went to drink the spring water with pear juice.
The words "Dedicated to Athena" are engraved on the rough pottery pot, and golden paint is stuck to draw fine patterns. There are a few small dents at the junction of the beautifully curved handle and the body of the pot.I put my fingers there, thinking that this is the sacrifice of human beings to Athena, and those depressions are the fingerprints left by them.
The most delicious drink in the past, but now it has no sweet taste.Moreover, when I swallowed the water, I heard a "hum" again.
Smiling wryly, I lifted the jug under the olive tree, poured out a cup, and handed it to Athena who was still pouting and angry.
Don't be angry, Thanadus didn't mean to be disrespectful to Zeus.
The Goddess of Wisdom who turned her head turned away with her big sky blue eyes. My knees were pressed against the armor on her legs. After the slight coolness, I could feel her warm body temperature.
Hello, Athena.
I stretched out my hand to move her face, I leaned in front of her, and slowly "explained" to her "listen" with silent mouth shapes: that guy would be quite awkward when he was in Hades, and sometimes he would say things that contradicted Hades Woolen cloth.
"Oh..." Pushing away the cup in my hand, Athena reached out and grabbed my long hair: "No, I hope, I'm angry, this fool doesn't understand Zeus' intention at all!"
Oh, Zeus's... intentions?
I nodded - I could understand that Zeus had been trying to divert the focus of the dispute away from Hades and put it on the "dissatisfaction of the second generation of gods".
"Hmph, you are also a little fool," the beautiful goddess raised her eyebrows and lowered her voice to teach me: "You actually hugged a male god who stood in a hostile position when all the gods were present... Do you know You know your identity, you are Zeus' concubine-to-be, if Zeus hadn't been merciful, Thanadus' head would not have been on his shoulders long ago!"
Being taught by her like this made me blush—although I always regarded the hug of my younger brother as the intimacy of the family, but now that I think about it, in front of so many gods...it was too much.
It was just that I was embarrassed for a while, and was immediately interrupted by the voice from the grape corridor.
"It doesn't matter, I will also tease his wife after he gets married..."
hello zeus...
"Ha, I'm just kidding." Holding back his laughter, he said words that made people unable to get angry - the blond man standing under the grape vines and ate up a bunch of grapes sucked his fingers sticky with sugar juice, Walking to Athena's side: "Okay, my blue-eyed beauty, smile."
"Zeus, you're drinking," the frowning girl grinned reluctantly, showing a coquettish expression like a cat: "Why did you come here? Didn't you go to accompany Leia?"
"I didn't drink much," said a lazy smile on the lips stained with grape honey juice. Zeus's beauty could not be described in words. When he smiled, the whole world seemed to be watching him.The Lord God raised his eyes and looked at me: "It was Leia who called me here, she wanted to know if Goddess Hope is well."
Lowering my head, when I hear that name, I can't help but want to run away.
Zeus, tell me, what will you do with our messenger from Hades?
"Listen" Seeing my question, Zeus frowned slightly: "My lord, you are a god who has always followed me, why did you just leave for a thousand years, and say things like 'our Hades'... What did he give you? I only know that he gave you this body, but in contrast, you gave him a city more beautiful than Olympus... Can you really learn to hate a person, even if He didn't show up at such an important time?"
I was in a daze in Zeus' questioning.
He means my lord...my...mine?
No, Hope didn't have you - Hades, Hades.
It's a heartbreaking truth, isn't it...
Leaning on the olive tree with drooping fruits, Zeus, who hugged his shoulders and turned his face to the side, looked carefully at the little disappointment I revealed: "It's really sad. I haven't seen my concubine for thousands of years, but always To talk about other men in the first place..."
Zeus, I don't want to marry you - cut off his whining, I looked Zeus in the eye - did you hear me?I will not be your concubine.
As if slightly surprised by my short but firm rejection, the king of the gods with an extremely perfect cheek approached me and rubbed my cheek with the back of his hand: "Is this what you say to those who try their best to protect you? Goddess of Hope? Do you think that my brother will give up his love for Dimel and marry you? But now, you can rest assured about such a thing, because Hades is such a stubborn person." Close to me The man, the sweet breath from his mouth blew on my cheek: "What you want, he will never give it to you."
Smiling, looking back firmly at the man who inquired about me - no, that's not it!Zeus, my attachment to Hades is not what you think love is.because I……
A moment of surprise appeared in Zeus' eyes. He cupped my cheeks and looked into my eyes carefully: "You mean...you have never..."
Nodding—yes, Zeus, I haven't learned the meaning of "love".
"Ha..." After being stunned for a moment, Zeus started to laugh. He let go of me, rubbed his forehead and stood up straight. The exquisite gems hanging between the blond hair swayed like rolling star flames.Athena, who stood aside, opened her eyes wide and looked at Zeus with an expression of confusion.
"Does he know your state?"
Sighing softly, I stepped back and sat in the shade with my cup in hand—maybe knowing, because he never taught me this kind of love.
"Think about it. For him, the feeling of love will only be given to the goddess on the earth, and will not be given to other gods...Hope, you may never learn to love such things..."
Zeus looked at me with a smile, and I heard the voice in his heart saying: It's so sad...
So do you, Zeus.
"What?" The handsome deity who had a frivolous expression just now was stunned by my "words", and a dark cloud appeared in his eyes: "What do you mean?"
You get it, Zeus.No matter how much you try to hide it, I, who can feel the other party's hopes and feelings, clearly understand your respect and love for Hades.He's your brother, the one you've been trying to get close to, isn't he?However, Hades is alienated from you because of your identity and the different positions between you... Are you helpless about this?
The wind blew through the olive grove, snapping delicate branches far away.In my peripheral vision, Athena looked back at the woods that made a cracking sound in surprise: "Zeus...you..."
Sitting under the tree, the spring water in my hand was blown out of the cup and fell on me.I looked at Zeus, a careless smile appeared on the corner of his upturned mouth again, and the oppression just disappeared as quickly as the wind.
"This face is really scary. This is the first time I've seen your sneer expression..." Zeus bent down and wiped my face dry with his robe: "I suddenly realized that we are really different. The gods of the first generation, even like Thanadus, are indeed unimaginably terrifying existences for gods like us."
Thanatos?
"Maybe it's just one of the countless rumors for you..." Smiling and approaching, Zeus turned his head, carefully gathered my hair, and pinned it on the gemstone flower that I had been wearing behind my ear: "On the old king's Before the world was overthrown, the battle between the demons who almost wiped out tens of thousands of gods and Hades..."
If he hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten what I heard about the soldiers returning from the battlefield reporting the battle situation to Zeus when I was still in the form of a diamond tens of thousands of years ago.
The gods of the second generation have terrifying shapes, and they are all brutal demons—the gods who describe the battle situation like this, have wounds all over their bodies, and cannot stand up straight because of fear.
"You remember them too, I know you will remember them," Zeus's eyes were clearer than the most glittering gemstones under the drooping slender eyelashes, a little flushed because of drunkenness: "Hey, look, there are countless people every day. The gods pass by this lake, do you know why they don't come to talk to you? No, they don't hate you, but they are afraid."
Are you afraid of me?
"If fear is not enough to express everyone's feelings, it is fear to be precise, the fear that goes deep into the bone marrow... You, the handsome guy I left behind as a guest after enduring the rage, are all monsters... My brother is also a monster, he He can forgive the surrender of the demons who have killed countless gods, and even regard them as brothers, yes, and Poseidon... But, he only hates me, because he thinks that I alone stole everyone's mother. "
I frowned—Zeus' hand on my shoulder was exerting force.
"These beautiful eyes are just like him, black, clean and pure, but they seem to see through everything so that I can't touch any thoughts."
You... what are you going to do?Zeus, it hurts... Zeus, you are drunk...
"What am I going to do, what have I done... I don't even know..." The handsome man who continued to talk slid his fingers across my eyebrows, and then suddenly raised my face: "You are also important to him." One of the people, so...brother, continue to hate me for taking everything away from you..."
Staring blankly at the God King pressing over me, I even forgot to struggle—what are I going to do!
"what!"
The one who screamed was Athena who threw away the golden spear in her hand. I squinted to see her hugging her head and turning around and crouching on the ground.
"Hey……"
Raising my eyes, I stared fiercely at the displeased God King—Zeus, are you going to eat me?
"◎¥%¥...%¥※#※※...×¥(Should I say this, let go! Don't bite my lip!)"
The handsome god king, who was obviously more conscious, wiped the corner of his mouth with his arm after I let go of my teeth: "Are you a monster too, Mrs. Hope Goddess?"
You were the one who bit me first... Forget it, Athena said, it's useless to argue with a drunk god... Listen to me, Zeus, I'm not just a will to find other people's feelings, I can feel your pain... I know, you love me too.So, please try your best to stop Leia, I can understand her malice, sooner or later, she will kill all children except you...
"My pain? It's ridiculous. Are you trying to tell me something?" Waking up from the trance just now, Zeus's usual confident smile became far-fetched: "Mother will lay hands on other children? I won't believe it There is such a thing, so please stop talking about it."
Don't believe me?You obviously have the same perception... Zeus, sooner or later you will draw your sword against your brothers under Leia's arrangement, and when that time comes...
A golden flash flashed before my eyes, and I heard Athena scream - she rushed forward, stretching her arms to stop what she saw: "Ah! What are you doing, Zeus!"
The God King's wind blade pierced my instep, and bright red blood gushed out as he drew the blade.
Biting my lip, I tensed my body, restraining the pain caused by the toxin.
"I warned you, Goddess of Hope, if you dare to do anything unfavorable to my mother, I swear that you will experience a more painful punishment than this." Zeus's lips were almost pressed against my face, expressing a warning When I said the words, I saw a gray storm sweeping in his pupils: "I want to protect Leia, I swore, even my brother can't forgive...so...don't touch my bottom line...don't touch ..."
Pain... Zeus...
Zeus, who was leaning on my shoulder, held my long hair tightly, and an angel in the distance rushed over after feeling the burst of Zeus' divine power.
"What am I doing... I'm sorry." I looked at the god king who put away his weapon and got up to leave me, curled up his feet, and hid the wound under the hem of his skirt.
Come on, Zeus, you're just drunk.
"Why are you showing such a hurried and rude look!" Athena yelled at the angels, waved her hand, and pointed to the golden spear that fell on the ground: "What will happen in Olympus that deserves your panic! I just You are practicing against the Great God, you all stand back."
"Well, that's all for today's warm-up, I still have some things to go back to deal with, na~" Restoring his calm expression, he stroked Athena's hair, Zeus stretched his arms, and walked out of the forest of the Silver Lake To: "Goodbye, my goddesses."
Wait a minute, Zeus!
"What's the matter, Goddess Hope?" The Lord of Gods turned around and nodded to me with a smile, looking at me who had just been stabbed by him with a sword: "Do you have any requirements?"
Don't make it hard for him, Thanadus, he's... hurt.
"Ah, since I want your lord to intercede, I won't make it difficult for him. Besides, Thanadus is the messenger sent by the underworld to deliver the code. In this period of peace, who will provoke the meaningless? What about the dispute." As if to let every envoy present hear, Zeus raised his voice, and when he said the last few words, I felt that he was implying something.
I still wanted to "say" something, but my shoulders suddenly sank, and I turned my head. Athena pressed my shoulders, showing a look that wanted to kill me: "Goddess, I still don't thank the Great God."
Enduring the piercing pain in my feet, I supported the olive tree to stand up, and slowly bowed to Zeus.
Seeing my difficult movements, Zeus' eyes were as indifferent as frozen glaciers.
"Athena, if you feel bored in Olympus, you can ask the Apollo brothers and sisters to accompany you." After putting down these words, the handsome and extraordinary king of the gods walked away without looking back, carefully surrounded by His envoys also followed behind.
Sitting on the ground, I rolled over and bit my arm to relieve the pain in my foot.
Athena stared blankly at me with tears in her eyes, she stretched out her arms and hugged me as if she could understand our conversation just now.
"Fool... You are so fragile, are you still trying to protect that person... What a fool, Hope, Zeus... You are all big fools!"
I got up from the shade of the silver lake where I pretended to be dead, and went to drink the spring water with pear juice.
The words "Dedicated to Athena" are engraved on the rough pottery pot, and golden paint is stuck to draw fine patterns. There are a few small dents at the junction of the beautifully curved handle and the body of the pot.I put my fingers there, thinking that this is the sacrifice of human beings to Athena, and those depressions are the fingerprints left by them.
