[Greek Mythology] The Confusion of the Goddess of Beauty

"Dionysus, dear Dionysus, come closer to me, I have news for you."

The joyful envoy looked a little excited, and quietly pulled Dionysus to a corner where no one was around.

In the hot June, he had just come out of a palace on Mount Olympus, and he had completed countless times the task of watching out for the God King who was behind the queen's back.

Even though he has done such a thing countless times, every time he thinks of Tianhou's overly cruel torture method, he tightens his ears tightly, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Oh, he is really a good envoy who is dedicated to his duties.

Hermes thought so.

He needs to treat himself.

So when he knew that Dionysus had brewed a new wine two days ago, he was eager to taste the taste of this magical wine blown by Apollo.But the stingy sun god deliberately hid the nectar after showing off in front of him, in retaliation for the fact that he stole his divine cow.

And he was aroused, and now he had to use the latest news he got from the God King as a bargaining chip for Dionysus.

The cunning Apollo knew that Dionysus would not trade at a loss.

"Hermes, if the news you mentioned is that the Goddess of Beauty finally agreed to attend tomorrow's banquet, I think my newly brewed wine will be ashamed of your divine envoy's ability." Dionysus replied coldly .

The news that Aphrodite, the Goddess of Beauty, was about to attend the banquet spread throughout Mount Olympus immediately.

In fact, this god that all the gods are thinking about has never shown up on any formal occasions, not only as first-order gods, but even Zeus, the king of gods, and Hera, the mother of the gods, have never met a few times.

As if he only lived in the era ruled by God Titan, after the great war, he lived in seclusion in a palace far away from Mount Olympus, as if he had disappeared.

But how could it disappear.

Even if they never showed up, and never attended any banquet, the word Aphrodite never dissipated in their hearts, let alone the slightest trace of fading away.

Whether it's out of curiosity or out of fantasies about love.

For Aphrodite, they always habitually give the greatest tolerance.

So even if Aphrodite kept refusing to attend the banquet on Mount Olympus, no one would think he was rude or arrogant.

Because of this, when Aphrodite agreed to participate in the banquet, the gods would feel that it was a great honor, and the joy extended by this honor made the news spread across Mount Olympias immediately. spread the word.

If Hermes, the envoy of the gods, intended to exchange this well-known news for his wine, it is no wonder that Dionysus would laugh at it.

Hermes was a pretty smart guy, and the irony in Dionysus's words was so obvious that he couldn't ignore it.Fortunately, their relationship is not bad, and he really needs each other's wine at this moment.

He thought his news should interest Dionysus.

"I was going to say something else."

"Another thing?" Dionysus smelled something unusual in Hermes' tone.

"The lame Hephaestus, the child who was once discarded by the Queen of Heaven, will also attend the banquet tomorrow." Hermes lowered his voice, leaned into Dionysus's ear, and whispered: "The Queen of Heaven will Hephaestus Toss sees it as a disgrace, her expression will definitely be funny tomorrow."

Although Dionysus was a dutiful Dionysian, dominated by generosity, joy and love, he occasionally showed negative emotions, especially in matters related to the queen Hera.

Dionysus' mother was killed by Hera.Not many gods knew about this matter, and Hermes happened to be one of the insiders because of the reason for guarding the god king.

Hera making a fool of himself is definitely something Dionysus would love to see.He is now telling Dionysus the news that Hephaestus will attend the banquet tomorrow in advance, which is equivalent to advancing Dionysus's joy one day in advance, giving him one day to prepare and let tomorrow's Banquets are more dramatic and poetic.

In exchange for a bottle of wine, more than enough.

"I went to see that Hephaestus quietly. He was a very ugly guy, wearing a sleeveless overalls. He wore a pointed hat and held a pair of pokers. He had dark skin and a hideous face. He walked with a limp. , he looks like the lowest slave."

Even so, Hermes didn't mean to belittle him at all.On the contrary, if this Hephaestus can make the queen feel sympathetic, he should think the other party is quite cute.

After all, although Tianhou's defense and maintenance of marriage made her loyalty to the god king worthy of praise, her method of dealing with her rivals was enough to make the gods sigh and even feel resentment.

"The queen abandoned Hephaestus, who can guarantee that this ugliest god will be equipped with the sharpest blade tomorrow, in exchange for the blood after revenge." Hermes looked meaningfully Looking at Dionysus, his slightly raised eyebrows made him look very vivid, handsome and energetic.

Hermes has always been keenly telling himself that Hephaestus will definitely do something to the Empress tomorrow.

Dionysus glanced at the expressive Hermes, and had to admit that this guy was too cunning and grasped the point too well.

"Heh——Hermes, you must have the most abundant old picture books under your tongue." So eloquent and eloquent.In exchange for his bottle of wine, tomorrow will see a good show made even more exciting by his next preparations.

"Yeah - there are many stories about gods hidden in this old picture book of mine." Hermes tentatively took this as a compliment, took the wine from Dionysus, and said goodbye. Leaving on flying shoes.The most beautiful god and the ugliest god, he can't wait for tomorrow's banquet.

Dionysus glanced at Hermes' back, and then turned his attention to the maid who was busy preparing for tomorrow's banquet. He seemed to have thought of something, and a sly glint flashed in his black pupils.

At the same time, on the Ziviraga Mountain north of the Olympic Mountains, the Goddess of Beauty, whom the gods are thinking of, is currently peeling pomegranates and eating them in the palace.

"Zhi Geng, I guess there must be a lot of gods thinking about tomorrow's banquet right now." Kui Yin sat on the table in front of Zhi Geng, looking at Zhi Geng who was methodically peeling the pomegranates, her feet were one of a kind. Dangling on the edge of the wooden table.

"En." Zhi Geng responded, and continued to focus on the pomegranate in his hand.The large and plump pomegranates quickly piled up into a hill on the plate, and the pink flesh shone with translucent water.

The advantage of obsessive-compulsive disorder is that you won't move your mouth until you peel off all the flesh of a whole pomegranate and put them together.

Thinking of this, Kui Yin glanced at Zhi Geng, quickly grabbed a large handful of pomegranate grains and fed them into her mouth, eating them without forgetting to flatter her: "A beauty is so pleasing to the eye .”

Zhi Geng looked gloomy as he watched the hills on the plate turn into plains in an instant.

"Garbage!"

"Hey—hey," Kuiyin laughed dryly, waved her hands quickly, and immediately sat up straight without shaking her feet, and put her hands on her knees obediently, looked up at Zhi Geng, and said two words with tears in her eyes : "Well-behaved." Sensible.

Zhi Geng: "..."

"Zhi Geng, let's talk about business." Kuiyin quickly changed the subject. "Tomorrow's banquet, because of you, I think all the gods should be absent, so the question is, who do you plan to start with first?" Kuiyin's eyes began to light up after saying this.

Zhi Geng raised the corner of his eyes: "You guess?"

Second O, guess what. "Hmm... Hephaestus, the god of fire?" asked cautiously.

"Ok?"

"Then...God King Zeus?"

"No."

"Sea King Poseidon?"

"No."

"God of War Ares?"

"No."

"Dionysus, the god of wine?"

"Guess again."

"Hermes the envoy of the gods?" Kui Yin almost mentioned all the gods in Greek mythology who had physical entanglements with the Goddess of Beauty.

"It can't be Hades!"

"Keep guessing."

"... Please let me go T^T."

"The first one." Zhi Geng hooked the corners of his lips.

"what?"

"Hephaestus."

"..." Murmur, tease me!The first thing I said was Vulcan!

Before I had time to deny it, you continued by yourself: "Silly."

Kui Yin: ...

"Don't squat in the corner there, like a fool." Zhi Geng beckoned to Kuiyin: "Come here, peel the pomegranate for me."

"It is said that Hephaestus is a cripple with an ugly face." Kuiyin said while peeling the pomegranate: "My first feeling is that you will attack him first. And the most innocent."

Kuiyin remembers that the god of fire in Greek mythology is honest, honest and upright. Except for taking revenge on Hera at the beginning and trapping Aphrodite and Ares who had an affair with a net later, she has never done anything out of the ordinary. .

"Compared to the other gods, Vulcan should have a better strategy."

"Really." Zhi Geng smiled, noncommittal.

Before attacking the opponent, Zhi Geng has always been cautious in the face of too many uncertain unknown factors, let alone jumping to conclusions.

"Conscience advises, Zhi Geng, you can dress a little more aggressively tomorrow."

"Appropriately reveal a little flesh to stimulate the vision of those gods."

"If you don't arouse the desire of the gods, I will be sorry for your status."

"After all, it is an aphrodisiac for walking."

"Have you finished?" Zhi Geng smiled softly, pointing to the pomegranate peel on the table: "After finishing speaking, clean up here, and mop the floor by the way, there should be guests coming later."

"Guest?" Kuiyin caught the key word.

"Yes, guest." Zhi Geng smiled lightly and sent it to the raider.

As if verifying Zhi Geng's words, in the backlight, a tall figure could be vaguely seen outside the door, not too long, just after Kuiyin cleaned up.

"Since you're here, why don't you come in?" Zhi Geng lay on the chair, and a clean and clear voice came out of his mouth. It was clearly a clear and cold voice, but because of the lazy voice, it came through for no reason. There is a bit of confusing softness.

The visitor's breathing was stagnant, and he paused for a moment before walking in.He walked very slowly, but seemed to be very rhythmic, each step was very powerful, and it was not until he reached the end of the aisle that his figure was fully revealed.
