I have a little golden mouth [Greek mythology]

It was undoubtedly an unexpected episode for Hermes to meet Ares on the way, and he obviously didn't take this kind of thing to heart.

Because just relying on words, let alone Ares, even if there are a few more, you can't say him.

If I remember correctly, he will obtain the priesthood of eloquence in the future, so Hermes has more confidence in himself.

"Anyway, take it easy."

After leaving such a warning with a smile, Hermes didn't care about the other party's eyes that seemed to swallow him, turned around and passed Ares, and walked down the steps.

This is the sacred mountain of Olympus, and it is also the kingdom of the gods.

As long as Ares does not want to be expelled from the God Realm, then he cannot attack Hermes here.

Killing a god is originally a sinful act, even if it is a god, if it does such a thing rashly, it will also be rejected by the world.

Although Ares is a god born in response to the force of world war, it does not mean that he has the power to determine the survival of the gods.

No matter how weak Hermes was, he was still the righteous god conferred by Zeus in front of everyone, and he was protected by the holy light of Mount Olympus in the dark.

Walking down the steps, Hermes looked into the distance and saw the radiance of the God King Hall in the distance.

There is the residence of Zeus. As the god of thunder and the king of all gods, the temple of Zeus is naturally covered with thunderclouds all year round.

But this kind of brilliance is not something that mortals can see. Only they, who are also gods, can feel the sense of oppression from that brilliance.

That is the majesty of the king of gods——

Greeting in the direction of the temple, Hermes immediately looked at a temple located below the palace of the god king.

That is the temple of the goddess of wind and rain in Olympos, and it is also the destination of his trip.

Compared with the majestic and majestic Temple of Thunder, the Temple of Wind and Rain, which is attached to it, obviously seems to be several grades down.

In terms of appearance, this place is not even comparable to the place where some high-ranking people among the weaker gods live.

After taking a closer look, Hermes also sighed when he saw this.

There is no way, after all, it is still strength!

In a place like Mount Olympus where strength is the most important thing, if you want to gain the respect of others, you must have great strength.

Otherwise, it's fine to have Zeus' favor like him.

It's a pity that Maia, the goddess of wind and rain, is undoubtedly very tragic in this regard, because the goddess herself does not have great power, and she cannot be favored by Zeus.

So after being disheartened, Maia's only hope is Hermes, the son.

It is common in this world that a mother is more expensive than a child.

There are many goddesses who were originally just nymphs of mountains and waters, but they were finally elevated to the position of gods because of the glory brought by their descendants. This situation is not uncommon.

"Is it Hermes?"

While Hermes was observing the temple, a goddess in simple clothes felt the approach of a force and walked out of the temple.

Facing the slightly hesitant call, Hermes suppressed the helplessness in his heart, showed a smile to this mother goddess who was like a small white flower, and complimented: "Oh, of course it's me, I Dear Mother Goddess, you seem even more beautiful."

Listening to this, it feels like a pair of plastic mother and child.

But as women, they basically listen to these compliments, and the goddess is no exception.

"Although I haven't seen him for a few months, my son looks even more handsome."

Facing the smiling young man, the goddess smiled slightly, and her colleague asked about Hermes' purpose.

Maia, the goddess of wind and rain, and the mother of Hermes, although she is a descendant of the Titan god and the water nymph, but because she has no power of god, she just wandered in the world as a landscape spirit before being favored by Zeus.

Although she has become a god now, her power comes entirely from Zeus, so there are very few times in a year when she needs to go out.

In a sense, the goddess of wind and rain can also be regarded as a very nerdy god.

"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just feel like I haven't seen the Mother Goddess for a few months, so I came here to visit you."

Having not seen each other for a long time, Hermes couldn't help but look at the mother goddess.

It can be seen that this goddess seemed to be a little sad before, and I don't know if she was embarrassed by the queen Hera again?

Thinking of Ares' attitude towards him just now, Hermes couldn't help but draw a big question mark on it.

According to the past practice, if Hera was really bullied, according to the character of his mother god, he would just swallow his anger and whitewash the peace to the outside world.

So even if Hermes wanted to ask, he couldn't find out why.

In fact, in terms of appearance, Maiya's appearance should be said to be very docile.

His mother god didn't look aggressive at all, and it might be for this reason that Zeus had taken a fancy to her back then.

After all, according to the custom in Olympos, those powerful goddesses have stronger tempers than one another, and this is even more evident in the queens.

As the subject of oppression, Zeus also needed a gentle little Yi to comfort his self-esteem that was often destroyed by Hera in various forms.

"Why did you come here? Did your Father God call you to help him again?"

Faced with the concern of her own god son, this gentle goddess couldn't help but roll her eyes with a smile.

Goddess Maia's temperament is just like her first impression, she is really gentle.

As a goddess, she does not have great power, but years of experience in serving Zeus told Maia that on the Olympus mountain, the only thing the two of them can rely on is the supreme king of gods.

Although it sounds extremely unreliable, it is the truth. If there is no Zeus' care and love, what is a mere son of Zeus?

Don't forget, because of a quarrel with Hera, even their own son Hephaestus was thrown off Mount Olympus by the furious Zeus.

After this incident happened, everyone realized that whether it is family affection or friendship, such things are simply unreliable among gods.

"It wasn't the call of God the Father, but just happened to meet the family members of the Temple of Light earlier, and then went to sit with Brother Apollo for a while."

Shaking his head, facing the goddess of wind and rain with a concerned face, Hermes thought for a while, but still did not tell Maia the truth.

The mouth of his mother god is more terrifying than him. Hermes is really afraid of being betrayed, so he has to be cautious in his words and deeds.

"Oh, it's not like you don't know your father's temper! You shouldn't have much contact with the Temple of Light. If he suspects you, what should you do?"

Hearing that Hermes was not going to help Zeus, the smile on the face of the Goddess of Wind and Rain faded a lot, followed by a long series of education.

What they said was nothing more than those who wanted to hug Zeus's thigh and be loyal to God the Father. Such things had been said before, and Hermes' ears were almost callused.

So he didn't like to run here before, and a big reason was that the brain circuit of Maiya, the goddess of wind and rain, was very different from his.

The words are not speculative, just because of one sentence, Mai Ya, the goddess of wind and rain, once again lost a good opportunity to deepen her relationship with her son.

After a few words of condolences to the other party, Hermes quickly left the Temple of Storms under the pretext that he had something to deal with.

I have no choice but to leave!

If he couldn't understand Maia's subtext anymore, he would be a real fool.

The other party made it clear that it was best for him to cut off contact with all his brothers and sisters, and then only focus on hugging His Majesty's thigh.

Well, it cannot be said that the other party is wrong. After all, in the short term, this is indeed a very good choice, and it is also the path that is most beneficial to them under the current situation.

But hugging your thighs is like working for someone else.

Although there is a moment of peace of mind, but when the favor is lost, isn't it equivalent to a dismissed employee?

"If we really get to that point, there will be no room for us in the whole of Olympos."

Before leaving, Hermes also murmured in his heart.

It may be because he is a time traveler, although Hermes has tried very hard to integrate into this world.

However, at present, it seems that in terms of some core values, he still has a world of difference from these native Greek gods.

In fact, to be honest, all these gods were born to stand on the top of the pyramid, so they rarely think about working hard to become stronger, and most of them don't think about making progress, and only think about having fun.

Compared to them, Hermes thought differently.

Don't look at him holding Zeus' thigh now, but deep down, Hermes still feels that the power can only be relieved if it comes from himself.

This is what prompted him to keep looking for gods to make transactions on Mount Olympus. Through reasonable transactions and receiving a certain reward, he can not only strengthen his own strength, but also gather fair beliefs.

Although this kind of intangible accumulation seems to be intangible now, it will help him seek commercial godhood in the future.

Gods can have many priesthoods. Take Hermes as an example. In addition to the "communication priesthood" that is necessary as the messenger of the gods, he also has two priesthoods of trading and animal husbandry.

Among them, the priesthood of trading was condensed by Hermes with his own strength, and it was also the cornerstone he laid in advance for his future business path.

And the animal husbandry afterwards was a gift given by Apollo to the other party by separating his own authority. Similarly, this is one of the authority of the god of the earth.

It was precisely because of this incident that Artemis, the goddess of nature and hunting, buried her dissatisfaction with Hermes in her heart.

It's not that Hermes didn't know about this, but facing Apollo out of kindness, he couldn't return the priesthood afterwards.

It's fine if you don't accept it at the beginning, but you have already accepted it, and it would be more excessive than a slap in the face if you go back.

"Boom boom boom——"

He silently sighed, and returned to his temple. Just as Hermes was about to completely absorb the power in his body, he was suddenly awakened by the knocking sound from outside the window.

This voice seems to be the golden bell on Mount Olympus?

His eyelids twitched, and he still had a certain impression of the golden bell used to summon the gods to the top of the holy mountain for discussion.

It's just that the golden bell will not be rung if there is no major event. Now that the bell is ringing at this time, is there something major?
