[Greek mythology] Queen of the gods

Surprisingly consistent with Hades, Tartarus is also gloomy, with only countless ghosts dangling in front of Hera's eyes. Although he has been a god for a long time, he has seen too many strange things, but he still did not expect to be here Hades and Tartarus have been away for a long time, and they still have a strong physical discomfort.

In addition, Zeus seemed to want to see himself dumbfounded when he announced the answer at the end, or maybe he wanted to praise himself, so he insisted on not revealing a word to Hera, which made Hera feel even more irritable, but fortunately, he didn't go for long , and saw Tartarus' attendants leading them to Tartarus.

Unsurprisingly, the fair-skinned boy still had no good temper when he saw Zeus, "I really don't know what's so good about me, it can make the king of all gods come to me again and again." , Tartarus raised his eyelids, and saw that the red-haired male god was beside Zeus, with a slight smile on his fair face, "Of course, Hera is very welcome to me."

Seeing that Tartarus was treated so differently, Zeus was not angry, but he didn't have the conditions to express his dissatisfaction with this old fellow, one of the five great gods, so he had to endure his temper, unlike the previous arrogance. An extremely respectful gesture said to Tartarus: "I came this time to ask for you, Tartarus." But even so, Zeus's tone still had a kind of arrogance unique to a god-king.

"Me? Do you think I will easily leave to help you?" Tartarus has stayed here for tens of thousands of years. No matter how good Zeus promised him, he would not move half a step. It can be said that he is a dead house. up.

And Zeus had already expected Tartarus' answer, so he was not annoyed, but instead showed his best smile, "Tartaros, you don't have to leave, I just hope you can lend me Metis for a while, don't worry." , she’s perfectly here to do what I want to do.”

"Metis? She is my subordinate, I trust her very much, she is busy with my work, how can she have the time to help you?" Tartarus showed a few playful smiles, and he was as dark as night. His eyes were looking at Zeus without blinking, as if waiting for Zeus's next answer.

Zeus understood that Tartarus was asking him for conditions, "Tartaros, I promise you in the name of the king of gods, I am willing to help you do everything I can." Tartarus heard, He just glanced at Hera who was silent under the stage, and smiled slightly: "Zeus, I don't need anything, but the recent work is too complicated, I need you to send a guy to help me." When it fell, Zeus responded with a smile: "It's easy."

But things are not so simple. Tartarus pointed to the red-haired son of Cronus and said, "I have already chosen this candidate, do you understand?"

Seeing such a scene, Hera remembered how Zeus hadn't revealed his plan to her for a long time, and immediately thought with a sneer, it turns out that his good brother thought of such a good idea, could it be that he still treats him as the king of gods? ?

However, Zeus's next answer made Hera somewhat unexpected, "Dear Tartarus, you have said this request once before, and you were rejected that time. As for now..." said At this point, the corner of Zeus's mouth curved into a mocking arc, "I believe the answer today is still no."

"Heh, what other conditions do you have for me to send Metis to you?" Tartarus was full of impatience. Since he was rejected so bluntly, he was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Zeus , Zeus did not change his expression, and confidently replied: "I will choose a qualified god from Olympus to help you. If Tartarus still cannot agree, I will wait here until you agree."

As soon as these words came out, Tartarus showed a look of disgust on his face, and he waved his hand to Zeus and said, "Forget it, forget it, let me face your face all day, I am afraid that I will be exposed to the sun." It still makes me miserable!" It has to be said that Zeus is becoming more and more able to guess the intentions of the person he is talking to, after all, the God King is not in vain.

Seeing that Tartarus covered his stunted body with his black robe, the sound of "whoosh" disappeared, and Tulu Hera and Zeus looked at each other in the same place, and Hera faced Zeus as usual. Said sarcastically: "I didn't expect that the respected god-king didn't give me as a bargaining chip to Tartarus. This is my great honor!"

"I never used you as a bargaining chip." When Zeus said this, Hera was a little surprised, because of the seriousness in the blue eyes, which Hera had never seen before. In his impression, Zeus His eyes can only express anger, dissatisfaction, sarcasm and other negative emotions to him, which caught Hera off guard, but when he came back to his senses, he felt goosebumps emerging from his smooth arms one after another. .

In order to hide this astonishment, Hera deliberately asked Zeus again: "Then why did His Majesty the God-King come to me to come here with you? Anyway, you have already grasped the vein of Tartaros."

Zeus shook his head and saw a black shadow flashing from Tartarus' throne just now, so he said to Hera, "I think Metis needs you to speak." Sure enough, Tartarus had brought Metis with him. Star arrived in front of Zeus and Hera.

Metis is no longer the goddess of wisdom in the past, perhaps because she has not seen the sun for a long time in Tartarus. Her skin is also as white as Tartarus to almost transparent, although it is not as white as on Olympus. The brilliance is charming, but Hera can tell that the brows of the former goddess of wisdom have a kind of freedom that can never be seen on Olympus, but when she saw Zeus, her brows frowned again, it seems The shadow given to her by Zeus still hasn't disappeared with the passage of time.

But out of etiquette, she still had to bow to the god king, but she turned to Tartarus and said: "Your Highness Tartarus, I think I may not be able to help our Olin right now." Piece came all the way to God King, after all, my ability has been reduced a lot since I left Olympus.” Inside and outside the words, it means rejecting Zeus, and before Zeus can express his position, see Tarta Ross first looked distressed, "My faithful Metis, don't say such things, if this god king doesn't get your help, he will stay here forever!"

Metis smiled immediately, debunking Zeus's words, "How could it be, His Majesty the God King is much busier than us, so why would he be willing to wait here for a long time?" It seems that Metis's wisdom does not know time. Disappeared due to location change!

But Zeus had expected Metis' hatred for him long ago, so he didn't say a word, he just looked at Hera with those blue eyes on purpose, and Hera understood Zeus' plan, and he just wanted to use his own favor to ask for a favor. Ask this Metis.

If it wasn't for the sake of those two little guys, Hera wouldn't be too lazy to say the next thing to Metis, "Metis, it is my niece and my son who need your help." He opened his mouth, and before he had time to think about when Hera would have a child, he thought about it and said, "Metis is willing to serve you."

Very well, Zeus received a knowing blow again.

But he still could only keep smiling, um, for Hephaestus!

-------------------------------

"One, two, three!" Demeter saw that Persephone kept spitting out the three ghost pomegranates that she thought would melt into her body, and she took them with her own hands regardless of the contamination. He said gratefully to Hera who had just returned from Tartaros: "Thank you, Hera! Thank you for getting such a precious emetic from Metis!"

Perhaps she was so excited that she forgot to thank Zeus, who was half of the credit for this matter, and Persephone, who had just finished spitting out the pomegranate, and her small face was still pale, pulled the corner of Radmeter's clothes, Demeter Ercai suddenly said, "Of course there is Zeus." However, compared with the thanks to Hera just now, these words are much lighter.

But Poseidon looked at Zeus, who was treated so differently by Demeter, who made a fool of himself, and said a strange thank you, "Zeus, I didn't expect that your insidious wisdom was finally used in the right place."

Hera laughed even more when she heard Poseidon's words. It seems that their family already has the skills of "Zeus". I believe you don't need to look at it. Hephaestus thanked Zeus sincerely, "Thank you, Your Majesty the God King!"

This made Zeus's expression soften a little, but the corners of Hephaestus' mouth still twitched when Hephaestus said next, "I always thought you only had yourself in your eyes, but I didn't expect you to be so wise and willing to help others!"

After hearing this, Zeus didn't know whether to laugh or laugh?

It sounded like he was praising himself, but the more he heard it, the more wrong it became!Looking at the sincere Hephaestus, Zeus couldn't blame him for his "slip of speech", so he choked out a sentence for a long time, "Hephaestus, you'd better learn from Hermes. The skill of boasting."

No matter how confused Hephaestus is at the moment, let’s talk about the elder brother Hades who was plotted by Zeus, his face is cold and indifferent, as if Persephone left like this, and did not cause any substantial harm to him, but Hecate frowned and said: "If everyone goes to Metis to ask for an emetic and spit out a pomegranate, what is the law of the underworld!" She is so rigid, but Hades shook his head and said: " Forget it, not everyone has the opportunity to find Metis, and after all, Persephone is the child of Poseidon and Demeter." It seems that Hades voluntarily gave up a chance to get a wife .

And Zeus also knew that his move was purely because Hades had always tolerated their younger brothers and sisters, and he didn't dare to walk away so swaggeringly after cheating Hades, so Half-truthfully said to Hades: "Hades, you may lose such a good girl as Persephone, it is quite a pity for you." Zeus turned his blue eyes, and he was right Hades smiled and said: "But I am willing to find a new candidate for your future queen, any god is fine!"

Hades slightly raised his black eyes, "Any god is fine?"

"Of course, I would swear to Styx!" Zeus assured Hades, patting his chest.

"I got it."

So Zeus set up a huge flag for himself.
