The style of this necklace is very simple. The thin chain is decorated with four olive beads. The olive beads are adorned on both sides of the magic gem. Aphrodite took a closer look at the olive beads and found these four olive beads. There are different patterns engraved on them, namely the lightning symbol, the round belly and long neck water bottle symbol, the balance symbol, and the hourglass symbol.

The lightning refers to Zeus, the water bottle and Gaia's life bottle look a bit similar, and the goddess of justice Themis's artifact is the balance. The last hourglass was very strange, and Aphrodite couldn't remember which god's pattern was related to it for a while.

Aphrodite frowned, and her expression made the visiting Nymph a little nervous. After staring at the necklace for a while, he put the necklace on the table with a blank expression, and then said coldly, "Understood, thank you for me. Mnemosyne's mind, go back."

Fairy Nymph gave him a peek at him, always feeling that the great god didn't seem very happy, and seemed to dislike the gifts from the goddess.

Fairy Nymph lowered her eyebrows and respectfully left the Temple of Eros.

Cupid stood on tiptoe clutching the necklace, and Aphrodite let him go.

Cupid hung the necklace around his neck, tilted his head, bit his fingers, and stared at Aphrodite with watery eyes.

Aphrodite rubbed his hair and asked curiously, "Cupid, does it feel strange to wear this necklace?"

Cupid wrinkled his face when he heard the words, and felt it seriously.

After a few seconds, he said in confusion, "Father, I don't even feel it."

Aphrodite untied the necklace from his neck when she heard the words, and played with it carefully in the palm of her hand.

The divine power gem is "milk" white and "colored". When Aphrodite put it in the palm of her hand, she could feel the weak divine power unique to Mnemosyne being released from it little by little.

Divine power is indeed affecting Cupid, but the effect is very weak. Cupid's lack of feeling probably has something to do with the fact that he is too young, his feeling is relatively slow, and the influence of memory on people is subtle and obscure.

Moreover, the main purpose of Mnemosyne giving this necklace should not be to try to influence himself through it. It has been specially treated with divine power gems. Although some divine power is leaked out, it will not make people feel violated. discomfort.

Not long after the Nymph of the Memory Temple left, Hephaestus also came to visit.

At this time, Aphrodite had put down the necklace, threw it in the magic box that was sealed before, and continued to carve.

As soon as Hephaestus came in, his eyes were drawn to Aphrodite's work in progress. After staring at his statue for a few seconds, he looked away casually, took a seat next to him, and then He pointed to the magic box with the chain and said to Aphrodite: "Your Highness, this box is specially designed for you, put the necklace in it, and the magic box can completely seal it, and Mnemosyne also Dharma summons it."

Aphrodite groaned for a few seconds, put down the carving knife in her hand and swept away the debris in front of her, pressed her fingertips on the edge of the magic box and said, "Hephaestus, just checked this necklace. Once again, I don't think there is any problem with the magic gem, but the four olive beads next to it are a bit strange..."

Hephaestus nodded and said, "I came to you for that."

He straightened the necklace so that the four olive beads were in a straight line with the gold-red eyes, and said, "If you look closely, Your Highness, you will find that these four olive beads are not the same material as the necklace chain. , it is clearly silver, but it is dark. The relationship with Mnemosyne is normal. If she simply invites her, she will not help her make jewelry. But she gave a very rare material to make it. She agreed and allowed her to design the style herself. Then she sent the raw materials of these four olive beads and told me to use that material to make the olive beads.”

"This kind of material is very special, because it was not formed by the sky, but was created by the gods of the day to be used to carve the magic circle..." Hephaestus pondered for a few seconds, considered the words, and used A more accurate statement explains: "To be more precise, it should play the role of a medium. The magic circle constructed with it as a medium can better convey the power of the gods. Mnemosyne I thought I didn't know its function, so I didn't deliberately hide it when I handed it over."

He pointed to the symbols and patterns on the olive beads and said, "And I didn't engrave these things, I was only responsible for polishing them into the shape of olive beads."

Aphrodite tapped the table with her fingers and asked, "You are the god of forging, why does Mnemosyne feel that you can't recognize this material? You say it was made by God, then it is Who is the owner of?"

Hephaestus pursed his lips slightly: "It's the Queen of God."

Aphrodite was a little surprised, and Hephaestus whispered: "The queen is very good at magic, she has a magic book she wrote herself, and she has made many magic materials the day after tomorrow. Mnemosyne thought that The relationship with the Queen of God is very bad, so I didn't expect that I have seen the material library of the Queen of God."

"The last time the Queen of God was pregnant with Heber, I listened to your instructions and reminded the Queen of God to prove herself by swearing to the law. After this incident, the relationship with the Queen of God actually eased a lot... Fake things It doesn't involve Ares."

"I have been to the Temple of God a few times. After seeing the magic book written by her, I am not interested in the magic book, but I am a little interested in those novel combination materials. I have asked the god queen in detail, and there is this Material."

Aphrodite frowned and said, "In this case, Hera collected this material relatively well. How did Mnemosyne get it from her? Could it be that she..."

Aphrodite couldn't help but wonder, was Hera also involved in calculating me?

His eyes darkened, thinking that this is not impossible. After all, he was Aphrodite, not Nemesis, and Hera would not be soft on him.

Hephaestus saw Aphrodite's somewhat cold expression, but there was no expression on his face, but his heart couldn't help beating.

He thought sourly, is His Highness angry at the possible 'betrayal' of the Queen of God...

The atmosphere was stagnant for a while, and Aphrodite picked up the carving knife and continued to carve the statue.

Until Cupid rushed in with a quiver and shouted, "Father, it's not good, a golden arrow has escaped!"

Aphrodite frowned and said lightly, "Cupid, calm down and speak slowly."

Cupid stopped in front of Aphrodite panting, his wings kept flapping to help him walk in the air, and he said hurriedly: "Father, I was just shooting arrows at the archery target... The second time I paid attention not to let the golden arrow run out. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that when I drew the bow once, only one golden arrow was condensed, but when I let go of the bowstring, there was an extra one. The golden arrows flew out with the condensed golden arrows."

"The condensed golden arrow 'shot' on the target, but I don't know where the other one went. It, it flew through the target and flew away, chasing after it, flying for a long time, thinking After chasing it back, after chasing after it, it actually disappeared."

Cupid lowered his head nervously, holding the quiver in his arms and said naively, "Then I went to look for the ten golden arrows and found that one of the golden arrows was missing. Father God, it really wasn't intentional..."

When the young god said that, there were tears in his eyes, and there was a feeling of panic.

Aphrodite took the quiver, placed the golden arrows in a row and looked at them, and then said, "I'm missing a golden arrow from 'Io'."

Then he closed his eyes, opened his inspection eyes, and used those eyes with emotionless eyes to keep patrolling and turning in the realm of the gods, and finally found the beautiful girl Io, who was covered by clouds and mist, on a grassland with clear skies. , Zeus had hit the golden arrow, fell in love with Io and possessed her.

Aphrodite said thoughtfully: "It turns out that these ten golden arrows were not "shooted" by us, but they automatically found Zeus at the right time."

Aphrodite's expression softened a little, and she comforted Cupid: "Don't worry, it's not your fault. Cupid, I want to give you a task, you watch and guard these ten golden arrows for me, and find that When they are lost, especially the golden arrow with the name 'Pluto' written on it, report it immediately."

Cupid's fleshy little hand grabbed the golden arrow and nodded solemnly. He said, "Father, don't worry, Cupid will keep an eye on this golden arrow even if he doesn't sleep day and night!"

Aphrodite's face darkened slightly, and then she looked at the half-carved statue by herself, with only eyebrows and eyes, showing a somewhat hesitant look.

Hephaestus had long seen that the statue was Aphrodite himself, and hesitantly asked, "Your Highness, do you need any help?"

Aphrodite looked at the statue in front of her and said helplessly: "I want to give you the statue, but it seems that it will take a long time to complete the statue..."

Hephaestus opened his eyes wide, and his golden-red eyes revealed obvious joy: "Is it a gift?"

Aphrodite said: "But it seems like it will take a long time to complete."

Hephaestus couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, give the statue, move it back and carve it yourself?"

Aphrodite let out a sigh and looked at him.

Hephaestus was looking at the eyes of the statue. Those eyes were engraved by Aphrodite as very cold and cold, without the slightest emotion, full of indifference and rejection, he murmured: "I want one A more gentle you, look and laugh every day."

Aphrodite couldn't help but raised her lips and smiled softly. He put down the knife in his hand and wiped his hand, and said with a chuckle, "That's good, then I can do other things."

Hephaestus subconsciously wanted to ask him what he was going to do, but he swallowed the words, and he lowered his eyebrows and replied softly.

Aphrodite said goodbye to Hephaestus, called Cupid over and told him to keep an eye on the 'Arrow of Pluto', and then handed Cupid the book of the underworld with Hades and told him, If he was not there when the 'Arrow of Pluto' flew away, Cupid immediately informed Hades through the book of the underworld, and there was no delay.

Aphrodite "touched" Cupid's hair and warned, "You can't play the Book of the Underworld in a mess, you know?"

Cupid nodded heavily, patted his little chest and said solemnly, "Father, don't worry!"

Aphrodite nodded with a gentle smile. She seemed to trust him very much, but she communicated with Narcissus quietly, letting him keep an eye on Cupid, and don't fool the Pluto couple.

After that, he closed his eyes, and the divine consciousness appeared in Nemesis's body, replaced her, fluttered his wings and flew into the apse of the gods, landed on Hera's window, and tapped the window sill lightly.

A low voice of conversation sounded, and after a while, a sound of footsteps left. Hera's figure appeared, and she glanced at Nemesis, who was standing by the window sill with her arms folded after turning into a divine body. After confirming that the person who came was 'she', she turned around and left.

'Nemesis' blinked at her background, let out a small murmur, followed her, and sat down with her at the stone table.

There is also a vase on the stone table with a blooming lily in it. Hera's graceful and beautiful face is behind the lily, and her purity and beauty complement each other, making her very beautiful.

Nemesis asked, "Hera, why are you ignoring?"

Hera said lightly: "Since Hebo was born, you haven't come back since you left the temple, and you probably don't want to see it very much. In that case, why do you need to talk and do more to annoy you."

Aphrodite's eyes flickered, and she bowed her head a little guilty.

Seeing this, Hera looked unhappy and asked, "Where have you been all this time? If it wasn't for the fear of your existence being exposed to Zeus, I really wanted to ignore it and directly I'll go find you and find you..."

'Nemesis' said calmly: "I've been around here all the time, but the God King has been on the mountain for a while now. Although he rarely 'shows' his face, he always suddenly appears in some hidden corners, where he goes. It's sneaky and strange. I really want to see you, but I'm afraid of accidentally bumping into him, so I can only suppress my mood..."

Hera said angrily: "Then you are not afraid of him suddenly appearing now?"

‘Nemesis’ looked up at her and said hesitantly, “I saw the King of God go down the mountain not long ago... He seems to be entangled with a mortal woman.”

Hera was stunned, frowned and asked, "Shifan girl? All the old humans died under the flood that ran out of the magic box. How long before the new humans were born, did he fall in love with a mortal girl?"

'Nemesis' murmured: "It is said that the God-king told His Highness Aphrodite before that Aphrodite would bestow some ultimate beauty on the world, maybe that mortal girl is one of the ultimate beauty. Bar."

Hera's face turned pale again, she slapped the table angrily, and stood up angrily, she angrily said, "Damn Zeus, he used a mistress to humiliate me!"

'Nemesis' stood up and asked, "Are you going to find the King of God? Why don't you leave first, and come back to you when there is a chance next time..."

Hera's face was cloudy and sunny, he hesitated between Nemesis and Zeus, and finally sat down angrily, dissatisfied: "If they are lucky, I will leave them alone for the time being."

'Nemesis' raised his cheeks and asked, "How long is it for now?"

Hera didn't say a word, but replied in her heart, when you go, it will be for a while.

If Zeus and the mistress were already separated when you left, even if they were lucky.

'Nemesis' said softly: "I hope the king of gods will come back later, so that I can stay with you for a while longer."

Hera couldn't help but "show" some smiles, her dissatisfaction with Zeus actually faded a little, and she even hoped that the mistress would keep him for a while longer.

Hera asked happily: "But you can only sit with me when you are here, and you can't go out to find a beautiful place to enjoy the scenery. Wouldn't you like to chat?"

After she finished speaking, she had some regrets: "I originally planted the golden apple tree in my back garden, but the accident happened with Hebo, and the golden apple tree was removed, otherwise, we can still live in the golden apple tree together. A walk in the apple sanctuary."

'Nemesis' said softly: "Wandering around in the realm of the gods all the year round, I have seen too many scenery, and now I can sit quietly in the temple, which feels very good to me."

"If you're chatty, we can read a book to pass the time."

Hera was slightly startled: "But I don't have anything here besides the magic book..."

'Nemesis' showed a look of interest and asked, "The magic book? Can you read it, I want to know what you like."

Hera looked at her, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, she nodded happily, and said happily, "Then wait a moment."

Then she lifted up her complicated and gorgeous dress and went out for a while. After a while, she came in with a lot of books, put it in front of 'Nemesis' and said with a smile: "This is a magic book I wrote myself, if you If you are interested, you can sit here and watch, and if you have any questions, you can also consult, and I will be happy to answer your questions.”

'Nemesis' raised her eyes, her pale purple eyes collided with Hera's smiling eyes, 'she' smiled lightly, lowered her head and turned over the stack of magic books to read carefully. stand up.

Hera didn't feel uncomfortable seeing that 'she' didn't talk to herself, but she felt that the scene of drinking tea and watching 'Nemesis' was very peaceful and gentle, which made her feel unexpectedly calm and satisfied.

Aphrodite's interest in Hera's magic book, coupled with the fact that he doesn't know much about it, makes him seem careful and slow.

During the period, 'she' would also communicate with Hera. Seeing that 'she' was interested in magic, Hera deliberately took out the materials she prepared and discussed with her while conducting experiments.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Hera stays in the temple and does not go out. Everyone thinks that she is addicted to the magic experiment and cannot extricate herself.

With this kind of study, Aphrodite's mastery of magic also increased rapidly.

Finally one day, he turned to Hera's magic book and found a magic circle that used a medium similar to that on Mnemosyne's necklace.

The name of that magic circle is God's Arrival.

'Nemesis' pointed to the circle and asked Hera, "God's Arrival? What is this circle used for?"

Hera frowned when she saw this magic circle and asked, "Why, are you also interested in it?"

'Nemesis' said softly, "Is there anyone else to ask?"

Hera nodded and explained: "The meaning of God's Arrival is to use the magic circle as the medium, using fixed runes to pray for the gods represented by the runes to come to him, and then give himself power."

"Mnemosyne asked about this magic circle, and she didn't know where she got it. According to her own words, it was because she was not very powerful among human beings, and human beings were very impious to her worship, so she She wants to pass this magic circle to human beings and let her priests summon her in this way, and she takes the opportunity to perform miracles to gain the fear and belief of human beings."

'Nemesis' asked: "Can the person who has been empowered resist this magic circle?"

When Hera heard the words, a blank look appeared on her face. After a while, she said, "It depends on the actual situation. If he is strong enough, he can resist. But a strong existence can also be used for Don't go to this magic circle to pray for the gods to descend."

Aphrodite didn't speak, but her eyes gradually deepened. He couldn't help thinking, could it be that the purpose of Mnemosyne giving him the necklace was to turn him into a carrier, and then let Zeus, Gaia and their forces pour in together In your own body, take the opportunity to control yourself?

But I'm not stupid, will I let them deal with it without resisting? Or, they have improved the magic circle and have a way to ensure that the law resists, and they can only passively accept their control?

I don't think that's possible...

It's not that Aphrodite is proud, but judging from his current strength, the possibility that Zeus and the others want to control him in this way is almost zero.

Or is the necklace used for something else?

Aphrodite frowned, thinking about the composition of the necklace and the runes of the formation, her fingers unconsciously stroked the table, and based on the magic knowledge she had made up during this time, she pushed back the formation and analyzed it. effect.

Aphrodite pondered, Hera was also attracted by the unusual trance of 'her', her eyes moved with 'her' fingers, she was just about to say something, suddenly there was a heavy knock on the door outside, someone eagerly want to come in.

Hera's expression changed, her complexion immediately dropped, her tone raised, and she asked dissatisfiedly, "Who is it?"

The maid's panicked voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, it's not good, something happened to the King of God!"

Hera and Aphrodite were both startled, and after looking at each other, Hera asked, "What happened to him?"

The maid replied: "I don't know when the king went to the underworld, but then he seems to have done something and was caught by the underworld and hanged outside the gate of the underworld. His Royal Highness Hermes is begging to see you, I hope you can come forward. Solve the matter and welcome the King of God back."

Hera's face turned blue and white, and it was hard to see the extreme.

Aphrodite coughed lightly and said, "Hera, then I'll go first, let's meet next time..."

Hera's face became even more ugly, she tried to squeeze out a smile to say goodbye to Nemesis, and she said, "Okay."

Aphrodite sighed softly and left the apse of the gods.

Immediately afterward, he broke away from Nemesis and woke up in the Temple of Eros.

Cupid was lying on the ground with his butt on his back, and there was a familiar piece of paper in front of him. It was the book of underworld that Aphrodite left him to communicate with Hades.

Aphrodite stood behind him, a large shadow cast on Cupid, he picked up the book of the underworld, and then looked at the chat record between Hades and Cupid.

Cupid was very happy to see the Father wake up, and was so excited that he asked Aphrodite for credit: "Father, Cupid has completed your mission seriously, and helped Hades to successfully capture Zeus!"

Aphrodite patted his head casually and praised: "Well done."

Then he glanced at the chat content between him and Hades, and at the top it was written that Cupid reminded Hades of the disappearance of the Arrow of Pluto.

Then Hades and Persephone made some preparations, but the details were not clear, but they really captured Zeus.

It was a little accident after catching Zeus...

After Persephone's examination and Demeter's determination, they found that Zeus seemed to be pregnant.

Aphrodite:?

Aphrodite hurriedly looked down, and Cupid asked Hades in the book of the underworld, did he impregnate Zeus?

Hades denied it, and excitedly expressed that he and Persephone were willing to swear to the River of Styx to prove that the children of Zeus had absolutely nothing to do with them!

And it is suspected that Zeus was deliberately pregnant to come to the underworld to find him to be blamed.

Aphrodite frowned at these bizarre contents, feeling very confused about what was going on in the underworld, and Hades and the others might have something wrong. Aphrodite was in the underworld. After writing the question in the book, Hades did not respond for a long time.

Aphrodite could only put away the underworld book and said, "We have to go to the underworld again."

Narcissus said softly: "Your Highness, Zeus is pregnant anyway, just watch his jokes slowly, no hurry."

Aphrodite nodded and said blankly, "I'm just a little confused about the cause and effect... Who is the child that Zeus is carrying?"

Narcissus didn't know, but Aphrodite didn't "bewildered" for long because someone who knew the answer came to him.

Athena rushed to the Temple of Eros to stop Aphrodite before he left, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, you have a good relationship with the underworld, and I have persuaded you to go to the underworld to rescue His Majesty the God King. I came to see you on an excuse, please do me a favor by listening to me."

"Can give you a very important message in return."

Aphrodite looked her up and down a few times, and after a few seconds of groaning, she said, "Let's talk about what you want me to do for you first?"

Athena's "color" was dark and difficult to see, she said: "Break the father's head to give birth, but the younger brother really died. But after all, he has condensed the godhead, although the godhead is lost, but his The soul is still there, accompany the mother goddess, and live together in the mind of the god king. The goddess has always wanted to find a suitable opportunity for my brother to conceive again... I have not told any gods about this, you are the first One who knows."

Athena said in a hoarse voice: "The child conceived by the king of the gods is not of Hades and Persephone, but my brother, who was conceived by my mother Metis and succeeded me in the prophecy of Gaia. The son who was born after that, destined to overthrow the rule of the god-king."

Aphrodite narrowed her eyes, and Athena said softly, "Your Highness, I would like you to protect that child. He has a good chance of succeeding, and he will surely die this time. But it doesn't matter, as long as you take his child away. The soul will do."

"In return, I can tell you a plot."

Aphrodite asked, "Are you so sure your brother will die?"

Athena said lightly: "Yes, sure. This also has a lot to do with the conspiracy. After finishing speaking, Your Highness will understand all this."

It just so happened that Aphrodite also needed someone to solve the "confusion". After pondering for a few seconds, she replied, "Okay, then tell me."
