I have a little golden mouth [Greek mythology]

The benefits obtained from Zeus are not easy to get. After absorbing the business godhead, it means that Hermes must embark on the journey immediately.

"But don't be so anxious, at least you have to get me ready."

Facing the double urging of Zeus and Hera, Hermes spread his hands, with a helpless expression.

Going to find and recruit Hephaestus is an extremely difficult task for ordinary gods, let alone Hermes, the youngest son who is favored by the god king Zeus.

So before going, Hermes felt that it was absolutely necessary for him to do all the work in advance.

"Actually, I thought he was going to turn me away."

Before approaching the temple where Vulcan lived, Hermes said this to Apollo who accompanied him.

Comparing my heart to my heart, if he was thrown out of the Olympus mountain by his father when he was a child, not only would he be disgraced, but he would also be disabled.

Then after a few years, the other party sent a son who was favored by him to negotiate peace with him. Hermes would never put on a good face.

Because of this, before he even met Hephaestus, he was ready to be treated coldly.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he and the others approached the valley full of magma, there was a hunched male god standing outside the valley, who seemed to be waiting for him specially.

"Are you really all right by yourself?"

Before sending Hermes down, Apollo asked a little worriedly.

In fact, if it weren't for Artemis' interference this time, Apollo would come with Hermes no matter what.

But the sister's many obstructions, coupled with the younger brother's stubborn success, made the elder brother a headache.

"Of course it's okay, don't underestimate me."

Wearing a helmet, wearing a divine robe, holding a scepter, and wearing divine boots, Hermes, who was fully armed, sneered, and then flew down under Apollo's gaze.

In fact, as smart as Hermes, how could he fail to hear Apollo's overtones?

The god of light is waiting for him to beg him, as long as Hermes speaks, Apollo will definitely stay.

But why?

Why should I owe a favor for nothing?

Although they play well with each other on weekdays, at certain times, Hermes is such a paranoid existence.

Maybe it's because Artemis has been targeting him intentionally or unintentionally, even Hermes behaved very differently in front of the sun and moon god.

He can pull his face down and act like a baby with Zeus, but it is impossible to use the same method on Apollo.

And this time he came out to do a mission, helping Zeus.

After all, this is just a transaction, so exchange at equal value, each takes what he needs.

Hermes is a god with very business ethics, so after he gets what he needs from Zeus, he will definitely go all out to complete this task.

On the one hand, I don't want to fall into the shoes of others, and on the other hand, I don't want to owe favors for nothing.

If Apollo is called again, when the news reaches Zeus's ears, what will the Father God think of him?

Don't think that the god king will only linger on women's bellies. Zeus can sit firmly in this position. In addition to having their grandmother, Rhea, the goddess of time, his own ability is also very strong, otherwise it would not be possible to overthrow it at the beginning Titans.

On the outside, he is just a naive boy, but in fact Hermes has a lot of little things in his heart.

In the Olympian pantheon, Hermes is undoubtedly an outlier.

Timid and fearful, calculating, but eloquent and eloquent, this is probably the first impression of many gods on him, but it is indeed emphatically described.

……

While Hermes was searching for the traces of Hephaestus on the earth, Thanadus, who was in the dark, was also not idle.

Because it seemed that letting Hermes follow Hades was not the best way to achieve the best of both worlds, Thanadus immediately germinated a competition to let his mother god condense a god of the underworld for Hermes.

There is no doubt that, as the mother of the night, in addition to the offspring conceived with Erebus, the god of darkness, Nix also gave birth to a lot of powerful gods.

Compared with the mother of the gods in Olympus, the great goddess Gaia who stands at the top of the god of nature, Nix, as her sister, symbolizes another definition that is diametrically opposed to it.

If Gaia and her children symbolize the embodiment of nature, then Nix is ​​a divine collection of various abstract concepts that are invisible and unrecognizable.

God is a part of the rules, and for example, as the mother of the earth, Gaia's body is the earth of this world, which is a visible and very intuitive phenomenon.

Nix symbolizes the night, and it is also a ring that covers the world, but compared to Gaia's physical embodiment, the night cannot be touched, but it exists in this world, which represents the "concept".

"I said when are you going to let me see the Mother God?"

In the Temple of Destiny, Thanadus couldn't help but look down upon seeing the three goddesses still standing in front of him.

Compared to Hermes' success, the God of Reaper was obviously a little bit behind this time.

After Hermes left Netherworld, he came here for two full days.

But when he came here for the first time, not to mention his mother goddess, even the three goddesses of destiny who had been in charge of guarding here were missing.

Intangible had a closed door and returned to the Nether King City. Hermes learned from the unscrupulous brother Momes, the god of ridicule, that Hermes had completed the discussion with Hades and had returned to the earth.

Thanadus felt annoyed when he suddenly learned that the other party had left.

If I had known earlier, he should have come back earlier. If he had come back sooner, maybe he could have said goodbye to Hermes?

"It really is a fool."

Seeing the melancholy look on the other party's face, the god of sarcasm sighed in his heart that this younger brother is a seed of infatuation, but he did not continue to tease Thanadus.

As the unreliable elder brother left silently, His Majesty Pluto waved his hand and dismissed him from his recent job.

In the past, Thanadus would have been ecstatic.

But this time, because Hermes had already gone back, and the God of the Nether was usually not allowed to enter Olympos when he was not out on business.

This also meant that he couldn't take advantage of this holiday to go to the other party's presence to gain a sense of presence, so not only was Thanadus not happy, but he was depressed for a while.

"No, I can't go in, but brother, can't you find Hermes through dreams?"

Looking at his brother silently looking at him, Thanadus' eyes suddenly flashed a light, and the next moment he grabbed his shoulder and asked eagerly: "So you should be able to change his dream to me, right?" ?”

Is this the rhythm of wanting to have a sense of presence in front of Hermes all the time?

Facing this unreasonable request, the corner of Hypnos' mouth twitched, "I said brother, you are not crazy because of this child!"

How should I put it, because of Uranus and Cranos, it is said that the God King family has the inheritance of lunatics in all generations.

This is reflected in Zeus, Apollo, Hephaestus and others, but Hypnos didn't know when his younger brother had contracted this bad habit——

This is really scary!

"Don't talk nonsense, you can just do it like this. This is my ignorance of your previous actions."

Glaring at him, Thanadus, who was immersed in his own fantasy, didn't think of a single question.

At this moment, he only wanted to make Hermes more familiar with him, and it would be even better if he could develop a good impression of him!

But in the same way, Thanadus overlooked a key point.

That is, if Hermes not only does not have a good impression of the god of death who often comes to his dreams to feel his presence, but also hates it very much, how will it end then?

"I said you played it off carefully."

Under the eyes of Hypnos who seemed to see a monster, Thanadus waved his hand, saying that he just let his brother do as he asked.

With strong confidence, while preparing to conquer the immature heart of the young god envoy in one fell swoop, this male god who is actually only talking on paper broke out a very strong action force.

"Okay, let's do this, I'll go see if the Mother Goddess is back."

Because he still has unfinished public holidays, Thanadus can be said to be alone now.

So under the attack of Hypnos' resentment, Thanadus walked briskly towards the bank of the Styx River.

"Your Highness Thanadus, are you looking for the three goddesses again?"

Due to the sudden disappearance of the three Moirai, the Goddess Styx is currently entrusted with the care of the Spinner of Destiny.

The goddess was not at all surprised by the arrival of Thanadus.

Everyone is acquaintances, not to mention that Thanadus has been here many times before, and after saying hello to the other party, he turned his head and ignored the other party, concentrating on weaving with fate.

"Yes."

Responding casually, and nodded with the other party, Thanadus immediately pushed open the heavy door of the temple.

"You are here again."

Visiting the Temple of Destiny again, this time is different from before, the three Moirai who have been mysteriously missing finally reappeared.

"So you won't stop me this time, will you?"

After saying this, it was when Thanadus' patience was approaching the limit again.

A gentle but majestic voice sounded in the temple: "Okay, let him come in."

"Yes, Mother God."

Hearing this voice, the three Moirai who were still expressionless looked serious, but they all saluted towards the void, and then said to Thanadus: "It seems that the Mother Goddess has returned and is willing to Seeing you, since this is the case, you don't have to waste time with us here."

Regarding the purpose of Danadus's visit, the three Moirai knew very well.

But because it involves the fate of the gods, and the object is Hermes, who is favored by the light of miracles, even they feel that it is very taboo.

They had been avoiding Thanadus before, not because they deliberately took advantage of her, but because these three goddesses were helping to deal with the aftermath.

"I know you still have resentment towards your three sisters, but believe me, my child, Moirai is not a cold-blooded and ruthless goddess who can turn a blind eye to the pleas of her siblings. The reason why I don't see you is because It's because you and Hermes disrupted the originally set schedule, and in order to calm the various uncertainties caused by the ripples of fate, I, Moirai, and your brother Moros have been in trouble for the past two days. They are all sorting out the laws of fate."

Holding a large net in her hand, a black-haired goddess was sitting on a quaint obsidian throne, looking down at her son with her dark purple pupils.

The depths of the Temple of Destiny are connected to one end of the void. This is the end of time and space outside the heaven and earth, and it is also the realm of the gods where the two primitive gods lived.

If it weren't for the power of fate to guide him, even Thanadus wouldn't be able to come here.

"I know what the Mother God meant, and I didn't blame the three sisters."

Under the scrutiny of Mother of the Night, Thanadus changed his previous impatience, and now behaved very well-behaved.

"I know your reason for coming, it's for Hermes, right?"

Obviously, she has learned the ins and outs of the whole matter through the web of fate, but as a mother, Nix, the goddess of the night, obviously also has evil tastes.

"Since the mother god knows, then I won't hide it from you. At present... To be honest, I feel that there is no possibility between me and him."

Sitting on Nix, because the father god Erebus is not there, and there is only the goddess of the night in this ancient god domain, so Thanadus also completely let go. I can't pour out all the words that are simmering in my heart.

"The reason why you feel that the two of you can't get together is because he is the descendant of the God of the Earth, and you are the God of the Nether, just like the boundary between life and death cannot be broken, so you want to make Hermo Si joins the underworld."

Facing Nix's words, the Grim Reaper, who had vented his grievances, did not speak, imperceptibly acquiescing.

After patiently listening to the child's complaints, the Evernight Goddess said, smiling slightly, "According to future fluctuations, this child will definitely walk between darkness and light, so you don't have to worry about it, and don't worry about it. However, instead of Instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, it is better to think about how to break through to the main god level faster."

Raising her hand and twirling, a purple iris flower appeared out of nowhere on the plain white palm, and then the goddess Nix said meaningfully: "Rather than thinking about counting on me as your backing, why not think about how Hermes is here in Austria?" Limbos survived. Hades has already made a condition. As long as he is willing to join Netherworld, he will help him win the position of Lord God from Zeus. You are our child and you have great potential, so you have to work hard .”

……

At the same time that Thanadus, who was originally high-spirited, was defeated by the words of his mother god, Hermes, who was walking on the ground and searching for the whereabouts of Vulcan, finally found the whereabouts of Hephaestus. point.

As the god in charge of flames, Hephaestus is a master at making all kinds of utensils, so his hiding place is also located in a valley not far from a crater.

"Excuse me, brother Hephaestus?"

Looking at the other party, Hermes felt a scorching heat wave rushing towards his face as soon as he flew down from the sky.

It can be seen that the volcano does not have a formal temple at present, so if you want to build an artifact, you have to rely on the lava power of the volcano.

Hermes walked up to the somewhat sloppy male god without changing his expression, saluted and deliberately called him that name.

Brother, there is nothing wrong with saying it.

After all, Hephaestus is also the son of Zeus, and they are half-brothers, so it is reasonable for Hermes to call him that.

But the same title, the reaction is quite different.

"What did you call me!"

Originally, Vulcan was forging an artifact. When he swung the forging hammer, he bent his body and looked like a little old man.

But as Hermes came here, the other party suddenly let out a roar.

Immediately after, Hephaestus stood up suddenly.

He is about two meters tall, compared to Hermes who is only less than 1.7 meters, he is undoubtedly a little giant.

Not to mention that the other party has strong muscles, compared to the younger brother who is like a white chicken, his deterrence is undoubtedly stronger.

"Uh, I think you probably don't know me yet. I am Hermes, the son of Zeus, the king of gods, and Maia, the goddess of wind and rain. I am currently also serving as the messenger of the gods."

I have to admit that Hermes was really taken aback by the opponent.

But good professionalism is there. Although frightened, Hermes quickly exposed his family.

"Hmph, did the God King send you here?"

Hephaestus obviously didn't care about Hermes' self-disclosure of his family. At this moment, he only focused on one thing, and that was that the other party was sent by Zeus to invite him back.

Realizing this, a burst of brilliance suddenly burst out in Hephaestus' eyes.

Finally, this day finally came, and it was not in vain for him to give up his handsome appearance in exchange for this forging skill.

The world is fair, even the gods who are the darlings of the law cannot be perfect.

Therefore, Hephaestus, who also has no strong talent, chose to abandon his appearance in order to regain the rising capital, thus possessing excellent forging skills.

This can be regarded as a deal with the law, and it is also Hephaestus' own choice.

"Ahem, cough, I did come here at the order of God King Zeus, but Your Highness may have misunderstood a little. I came here not because His Majesty the God King wanted to summon you back to the Divine Mountain."

In view of the terrifying scene that Hephaestus showed just now, Hermes reckoned that he might not want to be called "brother" by him.

Maybe this kind of behavior is still a provocation in the eyes of the other party, or a demonstration?

Coming to this conclusion, Hermes didn't need to put his face on the opponent's cold ass.

So in an instant, he switched his tone.

It is not too formulaic to be rigid, nor is it too intimate to make people feel flattered.

"What do you mean?"

Hephaestus, who was immersed in his own world, finally came back to his senses after being told by Hermes, and now he frowned and asked, "Then why did he ask you to come to me?"

Good guy, obviously he still called Zeus "God King" before, but when he heard that the other party didn't ask him to go back, Hephaestus changed his words directly.

The speed of this face change simply made Hermes on the side gasp in amazement.

Originally thought that this guy might be a big fool, but after the first confrontation, Hermes instantly retracted his previous conclusion.

Not only is he not a silly brother, but he also seems to be very scheming.

Even though the appearance doesn't fit the scheming man's setting at all, it can't stand Hephaestus's step-by-step approach to the position of the main god through routines.

"It's like this. Not long ago, the Holy Mountain of Olympus suddenly received a pure gold throne, which was signed to the most honorable 'goddess'. Now His Royal Highness Rhea and Gaia have not been able to retire. They are the most honorable on the surface. Naturally, there is no goddess Hera, the married wife of His Majesty the God King Zeus."

He didn't seem to see Hephaestus' face that instantly became as dark as the bottom of a pot when he heard the names of the two gods. Hermes continued unhurriedly: "So Her Highness Hera sat on it directly. , but I didn't expect that the golden seat suddenly protruded from the belt, trapping His Highness on the throne, and all the gods went to rescue him, but there was no way, so His Majesty the God King sent me to ask His Highness to go and deal with the aftermath. "

Woke up again, and returned to reality, showing that it was really miserable.

When Hermes said this, the corners of Hephaestus' mouth twitched, and he felt a little pain in his face.

But in front of such a "brother", he still didn't want to show his embarrassed side, so he said forcefully, "Why did you come to me, why did you say that I did it?"

Hmm, it looks like you want to deny it?

Her eyes separated from the other party, but Hermes didn't care about the other party's tone, just smiled: "Looking at the gods of Olympus, there is such a skill to create such a beautiful masterpiece, So ingenious...as far as I know, only His Royal Highness Hephaestus."

This is a high hat, and it was brought directly to the opponent's head by Hermes.

But it cannot be denied that what Hermes said was the truth.

Vulcan's forging skills are particularly exquisite, which even Prometheus, who helped Zeus forge the Destroyer Thunder, the Trident of the Sea, and the Excalibur of Hades, seems to be unable to match.

After all, the reason why the Prophet was able to create the three artifacts before was actually in line with the development track of this world.

It means that the glory of the gods has dimmed, and a new king must appear to replace them.

This is the prophecy made by Gaia, the mother of the earth, to the gods, and it is also the chief culprit that disturbed the second generation of God King Cronus.

At the beginning, he helped Gaia kill Uranus, so that the other party could only turn into the sky in the sky, and because of this, Cronus was cursed by his father's first generation of god kings.

As a traitor who overthrew his father and ascended to the throne, his fate will inevitably be overthrown by his own son just like what he did.

This is the curse that Uranus, the god of the sky, exhausted all his strength to set on his son before he became the sky, and it is also a blood curse that has plagued the Greek god kings from generation to generation.

If it weren't for this curse, Zeus wouldn't have had many doubts about Apollo and Ares.

At the end of the day, Zeus was still worried that they would put him on the throne.

After all, isn't that what he did in the first place?

"Okay, tell me, what exactly do you want to do here?"

Although Hermes is flattering himself, who doesn't like to hear good words?

Even Hephaestus, who originally had a lot of prejudice against this half-brother, looked at Hermes a lot more gently after he wore several high hats.

Even though the other party's tone sounded so stiff, his attitude was obviously much better than before.

"My reason for coming here is actually very simple. It's just that there is a 'win-win plan' here, and I want to discuss it with His Highness."

Looking at the God of Fire and Forging with a smile, Hermes looked at him as if he was looking at an untapped gold mine.
