I have a little golden mouth [Greek mythology]

"That's what you say, yes, but how can you improve your strength so quickly?"

Facing this elder brother who watched him grow up, Hermes was calm and indifferent before others. What he said was a bit helpless, but it was the truth.

Regarding his future development path, Hermes had already thought about it a long time ago.

Like Apollo and the others, as the son of Zeus, he will inevitably become the main god in the future.

The God of Commerce and Animal Husbandry, this should be the title he will be given in the future.

Transactions are the foundation of business, so at the beginning, he consciously gathered credibility, and finally acquired this godhead, which can be said to have been planned by Hermes from the beginning.

"But have you ever thought about it? You are currently able to maintain your own glory, all you rely on is our father god, but if you lose the protection of the god king, the god of communication like you, we who are the main gods, if If you think about it, you can create a large number of them in minutes.”

Gently tapped the table with his fingers, calling back Hermes' attention, Apollo said: "So if you can, you'd better develop in the direction of nature, and as far as possible, be able to remain independent from... It's better than that."

The last words were a bit cryptic, but Hermes still heard the other party's overtones.

His present glory rests with their father, Zeus.

From the current point of view, he has the favor of Zeus on him, and his position on Mount Olympus is relatively high.

Leaving Hera and others aside, at least under the care of Zeus, Hermes' life is still quite nourishing.

But Zeus is like a ruthless king, and it is the worst thing to expect from a philandering father.

In this world, such things as blood relationship are the most unreliable.

Admittedly, Apollo was right.

Compared with these natural gods, Hermes, a god who governs the laws of humanity, is naturally weaker by more than one end.

This world, the life of this world, cannot operate without the light of the sun.

Without transactions, without commerce, even if everything is in ignorance, this world can still operate, but if this world loses its light source, without the sun, how will everything grow and grow?

So Hermes is also thinking about whether to transform, but it is a pity that those laws with powerful power have been occupied early, even if he wants to make plans now, it is already too late.

"To be honest, it's a pity that you are not a god of light, otherwise..."

Staring at Hermes with golden eyes, Apollo's tone was very solemn, "I can use the power of the sun..."

"Since it's not, there's no need to say it."

Before the other party finished speaking, Hermes interrupted the other party.

Although Apollo is his elder brother, they are not siblings after all.

If some words are really said, it is likely to be embarrassing in the future.

It is easy to be misunderstood about the division of the original source, okay?

After all, Hermes never thought of getting his hands on the opponent's power from the beginning to the end, and if these words were spread, not to mention arousing Zeus' doubts, Artemis would be the first to let him go.

In view of the previous conflicts, Hermes had every reason to believe that the other party would borrow a machete from Athena for this.

Don't ask him why the Goddess of Wisdom always keeps a machete, an artifact that doesn't match her profession at all, Hermes doesn't know it himself!

"So I hope the Talos Mountains can surprise me this time!"

Because Apollo was interrupted at the beginning, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. In order to save this unbalanced scene, Hermes could only add a sentence.

"But don't be too happy too early. After such a long time, I don't know if Chris's power is still there. Even if there is, you have absorbed the power of the God of Growth. What path are you going to take? Life? Plants ?vitality?"

After all, it should be worthy of being the wise God of Light. Apollo was only silent for a while, and then began to help Hermes analyze the matter.

"If you plan to take the first route, with all due respect, the difficulty is a bit high. Just the inheritance left by Chris may not be enough for you to aspire to the highest position. After all, your attainments in this area are almost equal to zero. And if it’s about plants and vitality, then you may have to face the wrath of the Goddess of Agriculture and Her Royal Highness the Queen of Heaven.”

The Goddess of Agriculture, Demeter, currently acts as the agent of Gaia, the mother of the earth, and is also a leader in the field of life.

If Chris hadn't stayed away from the battlefield back then and finally fell for some reason, his power should have been inherited by Demeter.

Therefore, if Hermes decides to take this path, he will definitely offend this great aunt in the future.

And if you use vitality, as the other side of life, wouldn't that be hitting Hera in the face?

After all, the goddess of youth, Hebe, is the daughter of the other party. If Hermes does this, it will inevitably attract the anger of Hera and Ares.

At that time, even Zeus may not be able to protect him, so Apollo circled the key points for him in advance.

……

After bidding farewell to his worrying brother, after coming out of the Temple of Light, Hermes changed his previous composure, and his expression looked a little calm, obviously he was worried.

Hermes is currently only of medium divine power, and below him there are inferior gods and negligibly weak divine power.

It stands to reason that he should hurry to the Talos Mountains now to find the power left by the God of Growth, Chris, for an opportunity to break through, but Hermes is not in the mood now.

Because of Apollo's words, Hermes felt that maybe he should sort out his future goals now, and then work hard to fight for them.

"It seems that before becoming the main god, you must jump to the highest level of divine power."

Recalling Apollo's previous beating-like words, Hermes felt an unusually strong sense of crisis in his heart.

"Will there be any variables in the future?"

Walking down the steps, looking into the distance, Hermes felt a shudder in his heart when he saw the black clouds covering the Thunder Temple.

Through the feedback of fate, he looked at this scene and vaguely felt a little ominous.

Since it is the scene presented around the temple of Zeus, it is naturally inextricably related to the other party.

And Zeus is currently his golden thigh. In order to ensure his own safety, Hermes must first ensure that Zeus' rule will not be overthrown before he has a strong force to stand on his own.

After all, the battle was brutal. If there was another riot comparable to the battle of the Titans, Hermes was not confident that he would be able to walk down Mount Olympus alive under the aftermath of that battle.

"His Royal Highness is back!"

As soon as he walked near his temple, Hermes was stopped by a goddess.

"Iris?"

Looking at the goddess in white cloth with a displeased expression on her face, Hermes froze for a moment.

The goddess of the rainbow, the messenger of Hera, is the existence that symbolizes the rainbow light.

On weekdays, because he flattered the Queen of Heaven, he often circled around Hera. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to come to his side.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

There are many thoughts in his heart, but the outside world is only for a moment. Hermes, who came back to his senses, looked at the other party and said calmly: "I don't know what your highness is doing here?"

"By the order of the Queen of Heaven, Hermes was ordered to go to the Netherworld to deliver a message to Hades, ordering him to go to Olympos to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of the Goddess of Youth three days later."

Just like Hermes thought, facing this "son of Zeus", Iris, the goddess of the rainbow, also felt very disgusted, so she spoke extremely impolitely.

After informing Hermes of Hera's intention in a few sentences, the Rainbow Goddess curled her lips, "Please stop neglecting your duties, Your Highness, and treat your work well!"

At the beginning, he said something similar to admonishment, but only halfway through, Iris thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he added: "Otherwise, Her Royal Highness will know to blame!"

"Your Highness is really busy. If that's the case, then I won't leave you alone."

Hermes just shrugged his shoulders towards the Rainbow Goddess who acted aggressively.

In fact, he can still guess a thing or two about the thoughts of this little goddess.

Because of Hera as her backer, the Rainbow Goddess was very displeased with waiting for Hermes here for a long time, and thought it was a waste of her time to please the Queen of Heaven.

But because of Zeus behind the other party, she didn't dare to go too far, so she could only find a place on the lip.

It is true to say so, but the Rainbow Goddess seems to have missed one point, that is, Hermes is not just "the messenger of the gods sheltered by Zeus".

The power of his mouth, looking at the whole Olympus, who has not tried it?

Even Apollo, the god of light and the sun, who was as powerful as the god of light and the sun, was not cheated by Hermes when he first met him?

Even Zeus couldn't escape the wind and rain that he controlled. In contrast to this example, let alone her, the rainbow goddess.

So in the end, Hera was used as a shield again.

"But please be careful. After all, you often walk by the river. How can you keep your feet dry?"

When watching the other party leave, Hermes said something with a smile, but it succeeded in making the other party's heart tremble, and he staggered, almost knocking on the steps.

Her footsteps paused for a moment, wondering if she was concerned about Hermes' famous "poisonous mouth", but the Rainbow Goddess didn't stop after all, she just sped up her pace and left this place that she felt was very unlucky.

"Okay, you all go back."

Walking back to his own temple, Hermes put down the staff of two snakes, and immediately dismissed the priests who were in charge of guarding the temple.

Although it is true that he is also a god, but because his own strength is not strong enough, there are no gods around him, only these are considered to be the spirits of mountains and rivers and serve as priests.

It seems that after becoming the main god in the future, he will have to find a few more capable assistants, otherwise there will be no one under him, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Walking into his study, Hermes silently added to the plan.

"The Talos Mountains... I'm afraid it won't be so easy to find the power of the God of Growth."

Looking through the information he had collected in the past, Hermes looked a lot more serious.

Based on the information he collected, plus the clues provided by Apollo just now.

Hermes discovered that there should not only be the power of Chris in the Talos Mountains, but also the opponent's artifact!
