Chapter 77 Your Highness, help... 077
When Cupid rushed to the Holy Garden in a panic, Aphrodite was not ready to go back.
He was a little surprised when he saw Cupid, but he felt reasonable.
Aphrodite opened her arms to him, and Cupid rushed into his arms, sweetly calling out, "Father~"
Aphrodite hugged him, but the god said lightly: "What happened to the mountain, is it the loss of the golden arrow?"
Cupid was shocked, opened his mouth and looked at the Father in astonishment, and said stunned: "Father, how did you know?!"
Aphrodite sighed, hugged Cupid and walked to the chariot of dawn. The gods he created surrounded the chariot of dawn to guard him and rushed back to the mountain.
Aphrodite said speechlessly: "You came to me in a hurry, it can be seen that there must be a big mess in the mountain. But if it is something else, then you will definitely not panic, unless the matter is with you. Related. Plus how long did it take for the Golden Arrow to happen, I don't have a bad memory enough to forget about it."
Cupid bowed his head in shame, his pink cheeks flushed, and he murmured, "Father, what should I do? God Demeter and brother Apollo look so terrifying, I dare not go back to find him. already."
Aphrodite glanced at him lightly, thought about it, and asked, "Why, do you feel afraid even with my protection?"
Cupid hurriedly said, "I'm not afraid of following God's side, but what if it's not convenient for God to take me with him, and I'm alone?"
Aphrodite said indifferently: "Your brain is quite clear at the moment. When others were touting you, why didn't you think that others were trying to deceive you as a golden arrow?"
Cupid said calmly: "God, he was so frightened, I was so frightened."
Aphrodite was speechless, he frowned for a while, and sighed: "How to deal with the current situation, I'll wait until I go back to Shenshan to communicate with him."
"But what's the best way to deal with the matter? You have to apologize to the great god at that time. He is a god after all. Even if you don't hold him accountable in my face, you can't take him lightly, understand?"
Cupid kept nodding and said softly: "Father, I will be obedient and obedient to God to make amends."
Aphrodite saw that his expression was sincere, and his expression softened a little, thinking that Cupid was still clever and clever, not so stubborn as to be incurable.
Seeing that God Father's face was okay, Cupid's panic and confusion gradually calmed down. He leaned against Aphrodite's arms and stood there for a while, then hesitantly pulled Aphrodite for a few seconds. Te's collar whispered: "Father, if I take revenge on Zeus for the great god, will the great god be happy?"
Aphrodite asked, "How do you want revenge on him?"
Cupid really said: "Father, don't you have twelve golden arrows aimed at Zeus? I shoot those golden arrows out, and then let the woman whom Zeus love hate him, okay?"
As expected of what Cupid can do, the meaning is also in line with his priesthood characteristics.
Aphrodite shook her head and denied the plan, and said lightly: "Zeus is the king of gods, it doesn't matter to him whether his people love him or not, because he just wants to occupy her body. Under the "operation" of Zeus, Zeus will not have any special feelings, but the woman he robbed will feel pain. Unless... Forget it, he will wait until he sees Demeter and Hades. Bar."
Cupid quickly nodded obediently.
Aphrodite looked out of the window. The chariot of dawn passed through the layers of clouds and mist. He leaned against the window and looked at the earth. Someone in the earth was calling him.
Floods ravaged the earth, human beings were constantly fighting and arguing, and many people died in the struggle.
And those who didn't die did not escape their fate, and then died in various terrible disasters.
The man who opened the magic box Pandora and her husband Epimetheus had already been killed by mad humans. His daughter Pyla jumped into the flood with the terrifying magic box and was ready to commit suicide. The hope in the depths of the box broke out of the box, and she was rescued from the flood.
Deucalion, the child of Prometheus and the goddess of vision, found her by rocking an ark under the guidance of his father, and she rescued her from the flood.
The men and women hugged and wept, and Pila held the magic box with pity and sobbed: "Not all gods hate humans, there is a god who left hope in the magic box, and it saved me."
Deucalion and Pyrrha strayed to an island in an ark, and he knelt down to the magic box that contained hope, and even more sobbed to the god.
Deucalion: "It would be great if I had my father's soul-given magical skills in the soil, so that the human beings I could create would worship this good god and give my most devout faith in return."
Aphrodite closed her eyes, and divine consciousness descended on that hope.
The holy white light flew out from the magic box, Pyrrha and Deucalion looked up in amazement, the handsome and majestic god held up the Hua scepter, which symbolized power, the power of soul and life flew out of the scepter, submerged in In the body of this pair of men and women, he said to the only remaining pair of men and women: "Go east, I will give you the power of your soul, and the human beings of Pyla and Deucalion were created by you. The human beings you should tell, Respect the gods and love yourself. You should take the previous experience as a warning, please give him the best character, and those who deceive others should enter the miserable and dark place that will never return, and suffer and be punished.”
Pyrrha and Deucalion looked up at him blankly, lost in his indescribable countenance, forgetting sin in his divine and peaceful gaze.
Pila cried and said: "My most noble, please tell me your name, human beings should always remember you in the heart, and give you the most pure and noble faith."
"I master love and desire, I have life, I kill ice, and I am the embodiment of all that is good. My name is Aphrodite."
Aphrodite calmly stared at the two human beings who were in disbelief and weeping. The light of hope that had completed her life took Aphrodite's phantom and turned into a broken streamer. Blowing and flying towards the distant sacred mountain.
The chariot of dawn flew into the towering Olympus mountain. Aphrodite opened her eyes, hoping that the godhead would be condensed and merged into his scepter. Although it was not big, the light was stronger than all Godhead shines.
Aphrodite stepped down from the chariot, escorted by the surrounding gods of desire.
Aphrodite put Cupid on the ground, took him by the hand and walked to the temple, grabbed a nymph, and asked indifferently, "Demeter, Hades, Artemis and Apollo. Is Luo in the mountain?"
The captured fairy Nymph shivered, her eyes flickered when she heard the words, and she replied in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Sun God and Moon God have not come out of the Sun God Temple for a long time, but listening has been arguing. His Majesty Hades brought Percy. Goddess Fu Nie has gone to the underworld, and His Highness the Saturn is chasing after him."
Aphrodite released her hand and nodded slightly.
He turned around and wanted to go back to the chariot of dawn, but Zeus' roar came from Fang, and he asked sharply, "Aphrodite, why are you able to give those two humans the power to give their souls?!"
Aphrodite paused, her lips curled slightly, and she said provocatively: "Probably because... I inherited the soul and godhead?"
Zeus was stunned, and Aphrodite took Cupid to sit on the mountain again. He said coldly: "His Royal Highness Artemis and His Highness Apollo, I want to go to the underworld, do you want to be with me?"
Artemis and Apollo quickly walked out of the temple with a sullen face. Zeus glanced at him and went back to the temple in silence.
Aphrodite looked at his back and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Aphrodite asked the gods to ride on the chariot. Apollo's watch was still a little gloomy, but Artemis' watch softened. She looked at the interior decoration of the chariot curiously, with eight thin silver chains. There is a bright crystal lamp hanging, a small white square table below, fragrant flowers in full bloom on the wall of the carriage, a fine display cabinet and a square storage on both sides. The cabinet, and facing the car door is a bench covered with snow-white fur.
Cupid surreptitiously raised his eyes and glanced at Apollo, who had a gloomy face, poured him a cup of tea, and then slipped the harp into his hand.
Apollo glanced at him angrily, took the harp and played it depressed.
Artemis said with some envy: "Your Highness, the chariot you built, Hephaestus, is so beautiful."
Aphrodite glanced at her and smiled: "Yeah, I feel the same way. In order to thank him, I want to prepare a gift for him, Artemis, do you have any suggestions?"
Artemis thought about it seriously: "Hephaestus doesn't seem to like anything, but he is the god of forging, so he should like magical materials, right? But he doesn't seem to be short of materials... Why don't you give it to your highness? A bottle of his statue, write his name on the statue, Hephaestus, and enjoy it day and night, he will definitely like it!"
Aphrodite was stunned and said in surprise: "His craftsmanship is much better than mine. If he likes it, he can build it by himself, so I don't have to give it to him."
Artemis frowned and looked at Apollo irritably, and said dissatisfiedly: "Apollo, can you play some brisk tunes, your music is annoying."
After disgusting Apollo, Artemis said again: "That's different, without your permission, you can make your idol at will, especially if it is used for collection, this kind of behavior can easily be mistaken for blasphemy, I think Heffey Stos probably didn't make it in private. If you have a god statue, you will definitely sense the existence of that god statue. Do you feel it?"
Aphrodite thought for a while, as if she really didn't feel it, he shook his head.
Artemis said happily: "Then he will be very happy if you send the statue of Hephaestus."
Aphrodite smiled: "Then I'll give it a try."
Artemis said expectantly: "What about me, Your Highness, can I collect your idol? I really want to see your gentle gaze every time I open my eyes. When I think about such a scene, I feel that I really happiness!"
Apollo sneered: "You love that hateful hunter Orion. You should collect his statue. You will be happier when you wake up under his watch."
Artemis said angrily, "Apollo, what are you messing about again!"
Apollo said to Aphrodite: "His Royal Highness, Artemis was stabbed by that Orion with a golden arrow. She clearly knew that her love for Orion was abnormal. Orion is reluctant to kill her!"
Artemis defended with some guilty conscience: "It's not that I don't agree, it's that Poseidon forbids you to kill his son."
Apollo sneered: "It's just an illegitimate child, what if I kill him?"
Artemis said irritably, "Whatever you want."
Aphrodite raised her teacup and took a sip, and asked in doubt, "Artemis, did Orion stab you with a golden arrow on purpose?"
Artemis' face became uncomfortable for a moment, and he muttered, "Yeah...that guy had a crush on me for a long time, but every time he prayed, he could get my answer. But one day, his prayer came true, and there was actually a The golden arrow fell in front of him, and he was so happy that he stabbed me with the golden arrow."
Aphrodite said disappointedly: "This is a selfish guy, doesn't he know that you swore to Styx and swore to be a virgin? But he still chose to seduce you with a golden arrow, so that People who are not worthy of your admiration."
Artemis hesitated: "His Royal Highness, Orion, he just wants to get the response of my love, but he doesn't want to possess me. As for hitting me with a golden arrow... He, he just loves me too much. I can understand his heart, because people in love are desperate for a response, so they will do whatever they can..."
Apollo's face became more and more ugly, he was very angry, this damn golden arrow is so powerful and weird?
Artemis, the proud and reckless, heroic goddess who is not inferior to the male goddess, actually showed such a considerate and humble appearance under the influence of the golden arrow, knowing that it was a calculation, Still keep finding reasons for that hunter to obey, damn it!
Apollo was about to explode in anger, but Aphrodite measured Aphrodite thoughtfully.
After groaning for a few seconds, Aphrodite stretched out her hand to squeeze Artemis' chin and asked, "You... are you still eager for a response?"
Artemis stared at him blankly, a shy blush on her porcelain-white face. Apollo was stunned when he saw her watch, and his anger dissipated unconsciously, replaced by an inexplicable strangeness. Xu, a little strange.
Apollo thought for a while and asked, "Sister, do you like His Highness? Even if you fall in love with the golden arrow and love that hateful hunter?"
Artemis blinked his eyes with a guilty conscience: "What are you doing..."
She denied it, but she couldn't help but secretly look at the drooping brows, gentle and introverted goddess.
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Your Highness, do you really understand and forgive Orion's actions against you?"
Artemis heard Orion's name again, recalled his handsome face and hearty smile, and nodded without hesitation.
Aphrodite whispered: "But I hate this, you, those who are in love yearn for a response, and will do anything for it. But you did nothing and chose to be a virgin, this is the proud you A choice you recognize and make."
Artemis couldn't help being fascinated, his face "showed" a little hesitation, rational love and blind love had a violent conflict in her heart, and she fell into a painful tangle.
Aphrodite reached out to Cupid and said coldly, "I have a lead arrow."
Apollo's eyes lit up, and there was a trace of annoyance in his eyes. He forgot that in addition to the golden arrow, Cupid also has a cheating artifact like the golden arrow!
Cupid's light condensed a lead arrow and sent it to Aphrodite. Aphrodite reached Artemis's side and tapped the transparent window with her fingertips, and the cold glass faded like water.
Aphrodite embraced Artemis, waved the soft white clouds in front of her eyes, and said to Artemis, "Look there."
Artemis opened his eyes subconsciously and looked over. At this time, the dawn was rising, and the "dew" beads that were condensed from the leaves in the forest slowly dripped. A handsome young man walked into the forest with a bow and arrow on his back.
Artemis subconsciously whispered: "Orion..."
Aphrodite stared at his cheek, pinching the lead arrow between her fingers and stabbed her fingertips fiercely.
The lead arrow melted into Artemis' body, the goddess opened her green eyes, and Aphrodite asked in her ear, "Your Highness, do you really recognize what Orion has done to you? Do you think he loves you and can use despicable means to possess your love?"
"No—! I don't agree!" Under the influence of the lead arrow, although Artemis' love for Orion has not disappeared, he will no longer be completely influenced by Orion as before, even a sentence He couldn't help but rebuke him, and he kept looking for reasons.
Artemis angrily slammed off the table and said angrily: "Damn Orion, I love him so sincerely, but he is so vicious against me, I must take revenge on him and let him repent for the rest of his life. the behavior of!"
Although Apollo was happy that Artemis was no longer mindless to protect the Orion, he was also a little worried: "Your Highness, will Artemis always be like this and not return to normal?"
Aphrodite said lightly: "Love is also a kind of desire and thread, love is not eternal, it will subside. Especially the power conflict between the golden arrow and the lead arrow, under the intertwining of love and hate, the two forces will fight against each other. Gone faster. She'll be back to normal soon."
Apollo breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought: "It's good to eliminate it, then Hades should be able to use this to return to normal."
Aphrodite glanced at him, shook her head and said, "The power of the golden arrow and the lead arrow are in conflict, so they cannot act on the same person, especially when the golden arrow is just in effect."
"I was able to pierce the body of Artemis with a lead arrow just now because Orion's actions had a big flaw. I used that flaw to amplify Artemis' dissatisfaction with Orion without limit. It was only this chance that the lead arrow melted into her body."
"If it's Hades, the process will probably not be so smooth. After all, Persephone was innocently involved in this incident. Unlike Orion, she is not wrong. What's more, don't She was right, and even if she was wrong, would you dare to speak ill of Persephone in front of Demeter?"
Thinking of Demeter's violent and ferocious appearance, Apollo twitched his lips uncomfortably and shook his head: "Don't dare, Demeter will tear me apart."
Aphrodite sighed softly: "That's it. When I reach the underworld, I'm going to talk to Persephone first, see what she thinks, and then make a decision."
Between the words of several people, the chariot of dawn fell from the ground, passed through the gate of death and entered the underworld.
Artemis and Apollo had never been to the underworld. When they saw the tens of thousands of meters high bridge of the underworld and the higher gate to the underworld, their faces showed stunned expressions.
Apollo said unexpectedly: "The underworld is more magnificent than I thought..."
Artemis nodded and agreed: "It's not worse than the mountain, and it's a good decision to be a ghost."
The two gods thought so, and Demeter, who was close to him, also felt the same way. At least when Aphrodite saw her, she looked very calm, not as irritable and irritable as she imagined.
Perhaps it also has something to do with the reason why Persephone was by her side.
Hades was very busy. He originally went to the mountain just to ask Zeus why he increased his workload. It was an accident to meet Persephone.
In an impulse to bring Persephone back to the underworld, Hades placed her beside her to watch, and then handled official business beside her.
So when Aphrodite came in, he saw a strange scene. Demeter and Persephone sat aside and talked in a low voice, while Hades was in Thanatos and Hypnos. With help, he worked hard on the desk, and dealt with the official documents that were piled up like a hill.
Just look up at the mother and daughter of Saturn from time to time to prevent Demeter from running away with Persephone while chatting.
The moment Aphrodite came in, Hades felt it. He raised his head happily and called out, "His Royal Highness Aphrodite, you are here! Great, you are too timely, hurry up. Come and help me. Under the influence of the magic box, this group of human beings bear too many sins, and the situation is very complicated.
As soon as Aphrodite came in, she was attracted by the documents piled up like mountains on Hades' side. How many documents were there? Hades's two-meter-wide long table was filled with one meter high. There were also more than 20 piles of two-meter documents on the ground. Brothers Thanatos and Hypnos were flapping their wings and frantically flipping through the documents, sorting them out and throwing them in front of Hades for his comments.
He originally wanted to come over and see what had been written in Hades' official document that caused him to accumulate so many things that he didn't deal with.
As a result, just two steps away, he heard Hades' urgent call. Aphrodite's eyes turned around on the Gongwen Mountain where Hades was almost buried, and he decisively shifted his footsteps to Demeter and Pearl. Sephone, under Hades' stunned gaze, said: "There's no rush to the official document, wait a minute, Your Majesty, you can do it first. I want to chat with Persephone, and the matter between you has been dealt with in advance. ."
