Cadmea Castle in the city of Thebes is the place where Zeus met Semele, the mother of the god of wine, and the country where the grandfather of the god of wine Dionysus lived.
The god of wine has always regarded this place as his hometown, and it also has his largest temple.
The temple of Dionysus is different from other gods. In his temple, there is no deliberately created quiet atmosphere. In this temple, believers and priests were in a quarrel, drinking heavily.
Adros walked in. This time he did not look like Iathion. After all, the gods communicated better with each other. When he saw the scene inside the temple, he couldn't help but smile. Dionysus, the god of wine, was really an interesting god.
When seeing someone coming in, believers of Dionysus are not like believers of other gods who ask questions about strangers, fearing that the visitor is here to cause damage.
When they saw Adros, a random person threw a bag of wine. Adros took the wine, chuckled, raised his head and drank it. Not to mention, this wine was much better than what he had drunk before. Even the wine he drank in Olympus was not as good as it. He was worthy of being the god of wine. .
After drinking, Adros did not sing and dance with these people. Instead, he came to the statue of Bacchus, tapped it twice with his hand, and said: "Dionysus, there are guests coming to visit, please come now." See you in person."
At this time, Dionysus was having a banquet with Poseidon, the king of the sea, in the sea, talking about the strange things he had traveled to various places. Suddenly, the young Dionysian's expression changed and he said to Poseidon, King of the Sea: "Your Majesty Poseidon, have you ever seen this god?"
As he spoke, an image of black hair and black eyes appeared on his palm. The gods would leave some thoughts in their most important temples, and he got the information from this.
Poseidon was startled when he saw this image: "Hey, it's him."
"Your Majesty, do you know this god?"
Poseidon chuckled: "Speaking of which, he is still your half-brother. His name is Adros, and he is also the son of Zeus."
Upon hearing this name, Dionysus immediately reacted and asked curiously: "Is this the brother of Apollo and Artemis, the husband of Aphrodite?"
Speaking of which, he had also thought about taking action against the charming goddess on Olympus. It’s just that in these years, the deputy king of the underworld, the incarnation of the dark moon, the goddess in charge of ghosts and hell, the god of Adros, and the goddess Hecate who controls the three forks of the road have always been in Olympus. Although he is not courageous, Young, but he didn’t dare to commit suicide.
You must know that Ares, the god of war, has been taught by Hecate that he has completely lost his temper. Now when he meets Aphrodite, he doesn't even dare to look at her.
"I just don't know what the North Star God, the Lord of Roads and Directions, wants to do with me?" Dionysus asked in confusion.
Poseidon shook his head: "I don't have much dealings with him, but my wife Amphitrite is a little familiar with him. Since I am looking for you, you will know it at a glance."
"That's right. Anyway, I've been drinking this wine for a few days. It's almost time to go out for a walk and see what this enviable god wants to do with me."
Dionysus drank the wine in his glass and left. Poseidon looked at his retreating back, shook his head and smiled, these sons of Zeus are really more interesting than the last. Apollo, Hephaestus, Ares, Hermes, and now Dionysus, none of them are simple.
······
Arriving at his temple in Thebes and shooing away the noisy believers, Dionysus asked Adros, "I wonder what your Excellency Adros wants from me?"
He had known for a long time that the god of roads and directions never claimed to be the son of Zeus. For many years on Mount Olympus, he never called God King Zeus his father, and Zeus never regarded him as his son. Dionysus has always been familiar with the ways of the world, so naturally he will not ask for trouble.
Adros did not greet him, but directly told him the reason for his visit and asked him if he knew any news about Dotonia's wife Cana.
After Dionysus heard this, he and the gods were searching for the two missing goddesses a while ago. Now he heard that some of his believers actually knew some news, and he quickly ordered his priests to Find people.
"I have met my god."
Kana looked at Dionysus in front of her with fascination and admiration. In the hearts of her and the female believers of Dionysus like her, Dionysus had a higher status than the god king Zeus.
Although Dionysus is a male god, most of his followers, especially the craziest ones, are women. These women are usually sacrifices to the god of wine. They are so crazy that anyone who dares to stop them from feasting and reveling is their enemy, and whoever dares to disrespect Dionysus will definitely take revenge.
Pentheus, a king of the city of Thebes, was directly killed by his mother and other angry Dionysian believers because he forbade his people to worship Dionysus and persecuted the believers of Dionysus.
"Kana, let me ask you, what news did your husband Dotonia tell you about the Harvest Goddess and the Queen of Hades before he died." Dionysus asked gently.
"My God, please forgive me. I didn't intentionally leak the news about the gods. Those who slandered the gods were all instigated by my husband. Now he has been summoned by Hades. But your believers still hope to serve by your side. .”
After hearing this, Kana was extremely nervous, her face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly begged Dionysus for forgiveness.
The God of Dionysus waved his hand to stop her: "I'm not asking you for this matter. Your husband was not killed by Pluto. I just want to know what he told you. What he saw were the two goddesses and the human beings." Where did the war take place?"
Cana said tremblingly: "He came back from Athens that time, and then told me that the two Olympian goddesses were in a place called Eleusis northwest of Athens, and were besieged by many gods. They were at a disadvantage and were extremely vulnerable. Maybe he will perish. Then when I was drinking with my companions, I accidentally mentioned it."
"This incident spread quickly, and many people began to discuss it. Then my husband, Dotonya, died for no reason, and even the cause of death could not be found. I was frightened by his death, I never dared to mention this matter again and hid in your temple."
"Anything else you know?" Dionysus asked.
"No more, my God."
Dionysus waved his hand to signal her to leave, and then said to Adros: "It seems we are going to Eleusis."
"You want to come with me?" Adros asked curiously.
Dionysus laughed at himself: "I am the son of a god and a mortal. I became a god by luck, and then was summoned to Olympus by the god king. I have no allies among the gods. Now I have a rare opportunity that allows me to make good friends and have a good harvest." How could the Goddess and His Majesty Pluto miss this opportunity?"
