Constellation Palace Mythology Sealed Land

"Goddess of Hope... Doesn't Nalo have any memories of the past?" Her long red hair spread like flames on Kaifen's shoulders. She leaned on the wicker chair and smiled, then picked up the coffee pot and put The black liquid poured into the cup in my hand.

I nodded and grasped it with my fingers. The heat came from the side of the stoneware cup. The freshly roasted Greek coffee tasted rich and mellow, and Kaifen's craftsmanship was well known.

The woman who poured coffee for me revealed a decent and charming charm from her gestures, as fresh as a wanton blooming rose, exuding a mature aroma.Noticing my gaze, a smile flashed across her emerald-like eyes.

Kenny, too, is a stranger.

Although some fragments of memory have been missed from the loose seal, my main consciousness still can't regard those as things I have experienced.They are placed separately in my mind, on one side are my days and nights for more than 20 years; on the other side, there are flashbacks without source and end.

Narumi was also silent for a while, he was thinking about what the goddess said, something that could bring him back to life.When I moved the coffee away from my lips, he suddenly said to me: "Nao, I really don't remember, let her tell us..."

"Kayfen, Poseidon said he doesn't know either, please tell us."

The woman's fingers drew circles on the rim of the cup in her hand, "Let me remind you, do you still remember... what happened to Lycaon back then?"

Lycaon?Yes, I remember the name being used in a fairy tale, it was...

Suddenly, the coffee in my hand exploded, and the splashed liquid sprayed all over my body and face.

"Narumi! What are you doing?"

There was no answer, and the energy of the Sea Emperor trembled in my body strangely.

"What's wrong with you, Poseidon?" Putting my hands on my chest, I called out his name

"No, it's nothing..." When he answered me, there was a sudden pause.

God no longer needs to breathe air, especially a god who only has a god body, what is he nervous about...

Looking up, Kaifen was not frightened by the sudden incident at all. She pushed the tissue box to me with an unusually calm expression on her face.

There is an unspoken thing between them.

"As expected, you are still burdened with that incident." Kaifen took out a few tissues and sucked up the coffee spilled on the table: "Poseidon, how many times have I said that that incident is not your fault..."

"Okay, don't say any more." Narumi whispered, his tone was so weak for the first time: "I know, Kaifen."

Shenli pulled out the water on the clothes, but the dark coffee marks remained on them.I don't know anything about what they're talking about, except I sense that Caffin didn't say it because they avoided mentioning it.

"Remember what you said when you came to me a few years ago?" The Goddess of Fire held her long hair behind her shoulders, and her eyes looked at the lush laurel outside the window: "You said that Hades and Besephone Two people have carried the sins of our family. The reason why I decided to help you is because you said that...and you, my brother, are you who can say such things."

Lycaon, king of Arcadia who tempted the gods by making food from human flesh.According to the myth, his brutal nature and cold blood caused all human beings to be nearly destroyed by divine punishment.And the following record...

God, I realize what they can't say.

… Human beings gathered on the earth and began to multiply, but they did all kinds of injustice.Seeing the shame of human beings, Zeus wanted to destroy the earth, and he ordered...

With my hands tightly pressed to my mouth, I can't believe that those mythical records are true. They say... instead of Zeus's execution is...

Sea Emperor Poseidon.

"Narumi, tell me, those things are not true..."

My answer was endless silence.

"How could this be, Narumi?"

"Naro, please don't blame him." My hand was pulled up, I raised my head, and the woman across from me looked into my eyes: "You know, there is a big difference between the mythical records in the ancient books and the reality we have experienced. ...Besides, there is no other way for him to do that."

Closing my eyes, her gaze made me dizzy.

"At that time, the world had already been occupied by three main gods, Hadi of the underworld; Poseidon of the sea; and, the lord of Olympus in the highest position - Zeus, the god of gods...

I heard the true version of the myth, the strife between power and the disintegration of family affection - at a meeting of the gods, Zeus proposed the decision to let "fallen human beings" perish. He proposed to destroy the world with flames, and the gods They all proposed to oppose it, fearing that the resulting fire would bring disaster to Olympus, and the axis of the universe would be burned down.So Zeus gave up personally punishing humans, but ordered Poseidon, who was the emperor of the sea, to carry out the task of destroying the earth.No god dared to resist Zeus' order, and the isolated Poseidon had no choice but to accept this task.

When the Neptune returned from the earth, his head was crowned with the title of the cruel slayer, and all the gods avoided him like the plague.

"This is a trap that has been set up from the beginning. The gods know it, but they can't say it clearly. They can only act at the mercy of Zeus. No, this is not even Zeus' decision. Behind him is the one who has no power. The goddess who stops longing——Leia."

Kaifen twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly, tears glistening in his disappointed eyes.

"We were all children abandoned by our mothers when we were born. Leia... she only recognizes Zeus, and we are all victims of her struggle. In her eyes, we are all her possibilities Enemy. In order to consolidate Zeus's position, she has been attacking her son who resisted her orders. I hate what she did to her brother and Poseidon, and she has been far away from her center of power since the age of mythology." The woman's face was patient With a disgusted expression: "I am also a mother. For me, my child is everything to me. I can't understand what she did...I can never forgive her."

take a deep breath.Poseidon is silent in my heart, and I can feel his pain.

Unloved children shed tears where they were deliberately neglected.

"Okay, now that I've said it, I'll tell you the following." The Goddess of Fire sighed, and took the empty cup from my hand: "You want to find that person, go to the underworld, she The only one who heard of Earth Mother's method of resurrection, red-haired Pyla."

"Pyla?" I knew the name, and in mythology it belonged to a great woman without whom humanity would not reproduce again.

The great flood covered almost the entire land, and innocent human beings were almost wiped out.And Gaia, the mother of the earth, borrowed the temple of the goddess of fairness to tell the only two surviving humans the way of resurrection:

... The flood finally receded, and the land was barren and muddy, as dead as a tomb.Deucalion looked at all this, he couldn't help shedding tears, and said to his wife Pyrrha: "My only love, I look into the distance, and I can't see a living person. We are the only ones left on the earth. Human beings, however, it is difficult for us to survive. Every cloud that appears in the sky terrifies me. Even if all dangers are past, what can we two alone people do in this desolate world? Alas , If only my father, Prometheus, taught me the ability to create human beings and the technique of giving souls to clay figurines, that would be great!" After hearing his words, his wife was also very sad, and the two couldn't help crying.They had no idea, so they came to the collapsed altar and knelt down, pleading to the gods: "God, please tell us how to create a generation of human beings that has perished. Ah, help the fallen world to regenerate!"

"Depart from my altar," replied a voice of the Goddess, "put on your veil, undo your girdle, and throw your mother's bones behind your back!"

There is a secret in this story, the secret of bringing people back from the dead.

"Go, go to her, you will get everything you want to know." When we left Kaifen's house, the goddess said to us, and her daughter also ran out to say goodbye to us. Kaifen smiled and hugged her child , Put the cheek and daughter together.

After walking a long distance, I turned around and saw stars twinkling in the dark blue night sky. Outside a small white building surrounded by laurel trees, a beautiful woman stood at the gate of the courtyard with her child in her arms and waved goodbye to us. Her red hair Flying like flames in the wind.

On the way back, Poseidon kept silent.I know he was in great pain because of that great flood.

After passing the square with the small pool, he was finally willing to speak.

"Naro."

"Huh?" I stopped, the sound of the water was very noisy in the already silent night.

He was silent again, and after a long time, I heard his weak voice: "No matter how Kaifen explains to me, I did those things..."

I think of the soldiers in those wars, the executioners who executed the prisoners, and the scientists who developed the gun.From a certain point of view, they are all guilty.However, they are so innocent.

"I... I went to Gaia's temple before I did it, and asked her to keep the human seeds..."

I was stunned—before being forced to destroy it, Poseidon secretly tried to save his life despite the pressure imposed by the gods.

The laurel smells fresh at night, and the sky is a deep blue.Beside me, the swaying water surface in the pool reflected the night sky, and the stars were densely packed like falling gems. I stretched out my fingers to them, and those rays of light seemed to dance at my fingertips.

The real and beautiful world makes me unable to let go of the world I am nostalgic for...

And Poseidon is not the same, even though he always shows a restrained and indifferent attitude towards everything, I can only believe that it is because of his man's self-esteem.What I experience is the love for this world that the king has been hiding under the unruly.

"Only Amphora knew about this matter. I never mentioned it to anyone, because at that time I didn't care what other people thought of me... Now, I just don't want you to hate me."

Hypnos said he didn't want to be disgusted by me for hurting me.

I seem to have seen the scene of the Day of Reproach, Poseidon walked through the white colonnade with a tired look on his face.And the other gods turned their backs to him, and pointed from behind after he walked by: "Look, that cold-blooded god is back..."

Does he really not care?Still, it's impossible to argue.

Sitting obliquely on the edge of the stone-carved pool, I ran my fingers across the cold water: "Narumi, can I ask a question? How did the Goddess of Hope treat this matter at that time?"

"Huh... I don't remember, I was very confused at the time... You should be in the underworld at that time."

Jumping into the pool, I stood in the night and put my arms around my shoulders: "Okay, don't think about it! If it weren't for your prayers to Chaia, human beings would have perished long ago! And now the reason why you can find Restoring the entity's information is fate's reward for what you did back then."

"Naro? Do you think I..."

"Of course! Think about it, for this matter, the adjudicator is really guilty, and you are just the executor in his position. I, as a human being, Nalo, don't think I will hate you because of this. This matter It’s here, no matter how sad Narumi is, I’ll feel like I’m turning into a bottle filled with sugar-coated bitter pills.” Sprinkling the pool water on the ground with his hands, the smell of dust filled the air: “Okay, Lord Neptune , don't you want to see your lover? Then you have to work hard. If you just look at her and leave, you don't have the courage. Don't you really want to hug her with both hands? Get up, we will go Hades, thinking about this matter, the first thing to do there is to ask Pila for clarification."

"Naro..."

"Hey, cheer up, I don't want Narumi-san to look so sluggish~"

Neptune laughed: "Hey, when did your tone become so tough?"

"Ah..." I blushed, and I smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to express my feelings."

"But...you won't be able to get married if you are so powerful!"

"How come..." I froze for a moment, the voice didn't come from my body.

Looking back, a tall figure stood behind me, almost blocking the entire sky.

"what!"

"oops……"

Screams and mournful cries sounded at the same time.

A minute later, Thanadus sat up from the ground.

"You broke my leg..." the big man cried and looked at me with pitiful eyes: "It's too violent, it's not cute at all."

I was about to be scared to death by him just now, my heart beat more than 200 beats per minute, and I couldn't laugh or cry when I saw the god of death's perfect and idiotic face.

"My lord, why did you appear without any movement at all. Didn't you go to a restaurant to inspect?"

"55555...He kindly brought foie gras here, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this..." The big man still whispered with resentment, and handed me the well-protected paper box in his hand.

"Then... I'm sorry again, I really didn't notice, please forgive me?" I had no choice but to squat beside him and feel depressed together.

The Neptune's reaction was—it deserves it, why didn't he kick this idiot to death.
