'Nemesis' chatted with Hera for a while, and then prepared to say goodbye: "Your Majesty, you and I have been in the palace for a long time, and if you don't go out, it may attract suspicion."
Hera laughed, with a loose expression, a slight glance at her slightly cold eyes, showing contempt, she said with a smile: "I have kept my chastity for Zeus, and I don't always cheat like Zeus, what do I have? Is it worthy of the gods' suspicion? I don't care about it and I'm not afraid of it. Before questioning me, the gods should take care of their god king first."
Aphrodite paused, pondered for a few seconds and then asked: "Is the king of gods cheating again? But I don't seem to have heard similar rumors recently..."
Hera's originally smiling face sank immediately, and the cold breath spread and covered the entire temple.
'Nemesis' gently embraced her shoulders, and hummed with doubts in his throat: "Huh?"
Hera had to be more patient when facing 'Nemesis'. She was silent, and her voice slowed down a bit, but the overall sound was still very cold: "He... his holy tree is Oak tree, in his temple, he raised a group of oak fairies to play with him. But since the holy tree should please him, anyway, it can’t give birth to gods, so I don’t care about them. But in his temple, except for the oak fairies , there may be other goddesses hidden, I'm not sure, because he won't let me into his temple."
Aphrodite remembered the character of Hera in the memory of the goddess of love. She had always held the attitude of wanting to kill and torture Zeus' lover and illegitimate child. In this life, because of the arrival of Nemesis, Hera It seemed to have changed a bit, but Aphrodite was a little uncertain about Hera's thoughts and attitudes.
Simply let go of the movement at the Temple of Eros, and Aphrodite is going to figure out Hera's attitude first.
How to say Hera is also his secret ally now, when he is targeting Zeus, he has to give Hera some face.
'Nemesis' tilted her head and looked at Hera's side face, her long black hair fell down like a waterfall, 'she' asked softly: "Your Majesty, what do you think about the fact that the God King went out for pleasure and gave birth to an illegitimate child?" How do you think about it?"
Hera was very unhappy, and her eyebrows and eyes became more and more stern: "If possible, I certainly hope that he will be as clean and self-respecting as I am. But he is very playful, so if he doesn't go out to have sex and ask Liu, it's probably like him I can’t stop him anyway, so let him go. My status as the queen of God is unshakable, and I just don’t want to please Zeus.”
The last sentence may be the point.
"but… "
Hera paused, and said in a low tone, "I can bear Zeus seeking pleasure outside, but I absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of illegitimate children."
After finishing speaking, she talked about the temple of Zeus again: "I suspect that there is a goddess raised in the temple of Zeus, and that goddess is likely to be pregnant with his child. I want to go in and find out that goddess and kill her child. Nemesis, what can you do?"
Aphrodite pondered: "Your Majesty, are you sure that the King of Gods has a new Son of God conceived?"
Hera sneered, and raised her hand to caress Nemesis' cheek: "Nemesis, you must know that as the goddess in charge of marriage, all abnormalities that can affect marriage can't be hidden from me. My intuition can feel it all.”
Aphrodite thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, just wait for my action, and the secrets of the God King's Palace will be revealed soon."
Hera asked, "What do you want to do?"
Aphrodite smiled but did not answer.
If you want to do something in the God King's Palace, you have to come from the Temple of Eros. 'Nemesis' is definitely not qualified to provoke the God King.
Aphrodite asked: "By the way, there is one more question. Can Your Majesty confirm whether the Son of God is still conceived or has already been born?"
Hera shook her head hesitantly, and said uncertainly: "He hasn't been born yet. If he has been born, Zeus should have released him."
Not always.
Aphrodite thought to herself, if he guessed correctly, the god son hidden by Zeus should be the last main god, Hermes.
That's a pretty cunning little thing.
Hera said unhappily: "It doesn't matter if you are born, just lure the son of God out of the temple. If the son of God is really born, but Zeus keeps hiding the son of God and does not let it out, this kind of behavior will never come out." It looks very suspicious and cannot be tolerated."
'Nemesis' gently pushed Hera away, and she stood up and bowed slightly: "Alright Your Majesty, I understand. Then I will take my leave first...Your Majesty, just wait for my results."
Hera looked at her curiously, and nodded upon hearing this.
After thinking about it, he added: "My wedding with Zeus will probably take place soon, and I look forward to enjoying the golden apple tree with you."
Aphrodite and Hera looked at each other and laughed together.
Under Hera's watchful eyes, 'she' stepped back, turned into a crow and fluttered away after reaching the window eaves, but she didn't notice that a metal ball quietly rolled out from the bushes on the ground,
There was a halo of light in the center of the sphere, recording the scene where Hera stood in front of the window eaves and watched the crow leave.
After leaving Hera, Aphrodite's mind returned to her body.
He rubbed his slightly sleepy brows and eyes, and stood up from the throne to relax his stiff muscles and bones.
The long silver hair swayed slightly with his movements. Narcissus put his hands on the barrier of the mirror world and stared at it for a while. He couldn't hold back, and flew out of the scene and turned into a stream of light, spinning and flying around Aphrodite. .
The bright streamer danced around the already beautiful god, and Aphrodite's every move was full of dreamy and unreal beauty.
Aphrodite walked into the mirror world to get the box that sealed the soul of Iapetus, and Liu Guang went in with her.
Because they are still in the same world, Narcissus still does not have a real figure.
But Narcissus didn't care about it, he liked the feeling of being by the Lord's side all the time.
Aphrodite opened the box, and Iapetus, who finally got a response, couldn't wait to ask the God of the Abyss: "Your Highness, Aphrodite, why did you not respond until now, Your Highness Tartarus has been waiting for you for a long time gone."
Aphrodite smiled and said: "I was communicating with other gods before, so I couldn't respond to Your Highness in time, I'm sorry."
Tartarus paused, and asked with a subtle expression: "Who are you communicating with?"
Aphrodite snorted softly, her attitude was very natural: "It's about the golden apple tree, because after His Highness came to find me, I wanted to leave immediately with His Highness without being delayed by other things, so I recently Been working on this for a while.”
After hearing what Aphrodite said, Tartaros' expression immediately softened, and he said happily, "Then have you settled the matter now?"
Aphrodite said softly: "Well, it has been arranged. I will find a reason to formally ask God Gaia for it after a while. There should be no other problems."
After finishing speaking, he asked again: "By the way, Your Highness, what do you want from me?"
Tartarus paused, and said: "I... I was preparing to go to the Temple of Chaos before, and now that I am ready, I am going to find you. Because I can't take Iapetus with me , I’m afraid you won’t be able to find me if you have something to do, so I’ll tell you specifically.”
Aphrodite smiled calmly, so you just want to tell me you're leaving? Just keep urging Iapetus to contact me for this matter
Aphrodite continued to smile softly: "Then I won't waste your time talking to Your Highness, you should hurry up and set off to find me."
Tartarus also felt a little guilty after urging Aphrodite for nothing important, so he responded regretfully, "Okay then."
After saying that, Aphrodite directly put the fragment of Iapetus into the box, and closed the box with a snap.
He walked out of the mirror, and Narcissus wanted to follow, but was stopped by Aphrodite: "Narcises, you show up, I have something to ask you."
The streamer flew around Aphrodite's fingertips, and Narcissus returned to the mirror world.
Aphrodite looked at the beautiful young man with silver hair and purple eyes in the mirror, her eyes filled with admiration: "Narcissus, you are still so beautiful."
Narcissus stared at the god of another world through the cold mirror, and couldn't help saying, "You are more beautiful than me."
Aphrodite laughed: "You are my reflection, you have the same face as me, how come I am more beautiful than you."
Narcissus shook his head seriously: "It's different, beauty is not only composed of appearance, but also temperament and so on... What's more, I am just a reflection of your past time, your beauty will fade away with the passage of time. I will be more and more shocked by the superposition of power, power, wisdom, etc., so that the gods dare not look directly at me, and I have been stuck in the past moment forever."
After pondering for a few seconds, Aphrodite agreed, "What you said makes sense."
Aphrodite looked at Narcissus in the mirror with regret: "Then you are luckier than me, because my reflection has disappeared, and I can no longer see a more beautiful self."
Narcissus laughed foolishly.
Aphrodite also smiled lightly, and the smile was fleeting.
Aphrodite tapped the mirror lightly with her knuckles, telling Narcissus to stop smirking, and then asked: "Narcises, you saw the scene in Hera's palace through Hera's mirror before, What about the mirror in the God King Palace, can you go in?"
Narcissus thought for a while, and said honestly: "If I just take a sneak peek like Queen Hera, there is no problem. But if I go out from the mirror, I probably won't be able to hide my tracks. And the gods are now They probably don’t know about my existence and function, so they have no defense against the mirrors in their own palace. If they are prepared and seal their mirrors with divine power, I won’t be able to enter those mirrors.”
Aphrodite understood: "It seems that before your existence is exposed in front of the gods, you only have one chance to enter the mirror of a powerful person to explore the secrets. If so, let's not use you this time."
Aphrodite asked: "Where is Hephaestus? Let him out of the ice world."
Narcissus couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, did you go to Queen Hera before?"
Aphrodite nodded, not hiding her half body: "Yes."
Narcissus lowered her long eyebrows, and her beautiful eyes were full of loss and complexity, like flowers wet by the rain, listlessly: "There are so many gods who have befriended you..."
Aphrodite glanced at him with a half-smile, and asked, "Is it because you can only stay in the mirror world alone, so you feel lonely?"
Narcissus shook his head: "I was imprisoned in a cave by my father God since I was a child, and loneliness is the state I enjoy the most. You are the only one in my world."
"I'm envious of those gods. They can stand by your side openly, but I can't have all of this."
Aphrodite smiled slightly, but her mood was very calm. She was not moved by Narcissus' words, but said: "Quickly release Hephaestus. Then you come out of the mirror and follow How about me? I'm going to put away the mirrors."
Narcissus pursed his lips, nodded obediently, and turned around to remove the extreme ice world suppressed on Hephaestus.
And at the moment when Aphrodite couldn't see, a haze appeared in his eyes.
Narcissus couldn't help thinking, it would be great if... he could monopolize His Highness.
Narcissus stared fixedly at the world of extreme ice, eagerly looking forward to the quick formation of this incomplete world.
If this world can be as majestic and powerful as this God's Domain, will His Highness abandon this God's Domain and go to the new world with him
Ambition and longing for the source burned wildly in Narcissus' heart. The god of mirror images pushed the ice world away from Vulcan, and then pushed him out of the mirror world.
Aphrodite looked at Narcissus curiously, her eyes were as calm as ever, but it seemed that all changes could not escape his sight, and there would be nothing to hide under his gaze.
Aphrodite smiled and said, "Narcissus, I think you are different from before."
Narcissus opened his eyes nervously, and Aphrodite stretched out her hand, intending to grab his chin, but was blocked by the cold mirror.
Aphrodite withdrew her hand and said regretfully, "I see ambition in your eyes."
Narcissus asked, "Would you hate me for being like this?"
Aphrodite smiled slightly, and said softly: "How come, you belong to me, and the more you have, the more I have."
"I don't hate your change, on the contrary, I look forward to it."
Narcissus looked at him excitedly, couldn't help but take out the mirror, turned into a streamer and threw himself into Aphrodite's arms.
Aphrodite glanced down, raised the golden staff and put away all the mirrors, and the temple returned to its original appearance in an instant.
Then a stone bed rose from the ground, lifting the unconscious Hephaestus up.
While waiting for Hephaestus to wake up, Aphrodite thought about giving Hera the priesthood of incarnation.
In that way, when Hera forbids someone's offspring to be born, the other party will not be able to give birth successfully.
That is, in what form should he give the priesthood to Hera without causing Hera to doubt his relationship with 'Nemesis'
Aphrodite touched her chin, and opened the passage to the secret garden built by the twin gods before.
The moment Aphrodite opened the secret garden, there was a feeling from the twin gods. They left the temple tacitly and quietly entered the garden.
Apollo leisurely plucked the strings and walked in. As soon as he came in, he saw Aphrodite standing under the green vines clinging to the stone pillar.
He raised his head, and was using his fingers to tease the pure white flower bud on the ivy, with a gentle and calm expression, but his eyes were full of scattershot. Liu Guang danced around him, his hair, eyes and skin were full of luster.
—Like a scumbag playing with innocence, easy and careless, but damn charming.
Apollo carefully looked at Aphrodite's demeanor, imitating him to make the arcs of his eyebrows softer and more romantic, and his smile more hearty and sincere.
He walked to Aphrodite's side and directly embraced Aphrodite's shoulders. When Aphrodite looked over in surprise, he smiled softly and complained, "Your Highness It's really surprising that the secret garden has been opened. His Highness hasn't talked to us siblings for so long, I thought His Highness had forgotten about us."
Aphrodite paused, gently took Apollo's hand off his shoulder, turned around briskly, walked out of his arms, and said softly: "Don't get so close to me, Not used to it."
Apollo froze for a moment, apparently Aphrodite's performance was not in the various reactions he expected.
Aphrodite glanced at him from the corner of her eye, saw a little confusion in his emerald eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly put her hand on Apollo's shoulder, pushing him back.
There is a stone pillar behind Apollo, his back rests on the stone pillar, and his blond hair is as brilliant as gold.
Aphrodite gently wrapped his waist around his waist with one hand, and gently tousled his golden hair with the other.
Aphrodite smiled slightly, and said softly: "Or like this, be obedient and soft, then I can overcome my patience a little bit, because I like obedient and soft things."
"Your Highness, if you have any ideas about someone, you must learn to follow suit."
Apollo's body stiffened slightly, and Aphrodite looked at him with a half-smile, and was about to say something, but Artemis, who had just entered, stood blankly at the entrance holding a bow and arrow, and spoke hesitantly Interrupting the communication between the two: "Your Highness, brother, did I come at the wrong time?"
Aphrodite let go of her hand naturally, turned around, walked to the stone table and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and took a sip.
He smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't get me wrong, I just taught His Highness Apollo something."
Artemis sat down next to him, looked at Apollo who sat up and plucked the strings without saying a word, with a sad face, and asked curiously, "What did you teach him?"
Apollo interrupted the conversation between the two, and said depressingly: "Shouldn't the most important thing at present be the purpose of Your Highness Aphrodite calling us here?"
Aphrodite looked at Apollo indulgently, and Apollo was extremely uncomfortable being looked at by him.
Seeing this, Artemis lowered his head, playing with the cup in his hand, lost in thought.
Aphrodite talked about her purpose: "I have received a secret message. In the palace of His Majesty the God King, it seems that a new Son of God has been born."
Apollo and Artemis frowned, and Apollo sneered: "This should be impossible, right? If a new son of God is really born, shouldn't the arrogant Queen of God be the first to get the news? "
Aphrodite took a sip of tea and remained silent.
Artemis also wondered: "Your Highness, are you sure that the Son of God has been born? If it has been born, it proves that the Son of God is no longer facing the threat of life from the Queen of God, and the King of God should release him."
Aphrodite is actually not sure, but he thinks Hermes should have been born. It doesn't matter if you are not born, because this is an excuse and a statement, no matter what, let's talk about it first.
Aphrodite said: "I think it should be born. I am looking for the two highnesses, and I want to ask the two highnesses to help me fish out the son of God."
Apollo and Artemis were stunned, and Aphrodite hooked her fingers, signaling the two Highnesses to come over, and then explained to them.
After hearing Aphrodite's plan, the twin gods nodded. Although they didn't know Aphrodite's intentions, since Aphrodite needed their help, they would help.
Before leaving, Artemis showed a hesitant look, and Aphrodite raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there something you want to tell me, Your Highness Artemis?"
Apollo also looked at his sister. Artemis lowered his head, put his hands behind his back, turned his toes lightly back and forth on the ground, and did not speak.
Aphrodite held her face, and asked softly: "If your Highness has any troubles, please tell us, don't be bored in your heart."
Artemis lowered her eyebrows silently, she bit her lip lightly, and said anxiously: "Because I haven't made a complete decision..."
Artemis frowned and didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, she gently pushed Aphrodite's hand away, sighed, and said: "It's actually just a trivial matter, it's not important. I'm just afraid that I'll regret it later..."
She glanced at Aphrodite tangledly, and shook her head: "But it shouldn't be."
After finishing speaking, she raised her smiling face and showed a bright smile: "Let me think about it again, and I will talk to you in a few days."
Aphrodite glanced at Apollo lightly. Apollo accepted the hint in his eyes and nodded slightly, thinking that he would definitely find out the reason for Artemis' abnormality!
The twin gods left the secret garden, and Aphrodite was still thinking about the abnormal behavior of Artemis. She didn't notice that Hephaestus woke up at some point, but stood in the passage and watched quietly. he.
Hephaestus suddenly said, "It's because of Athena and Hestia."
Aphrodite raised her head and said in surprise, "Your Highness Hephaestus, you are awake. Come here and sit down."
Aphrodite raised her finger and pointed to the position opposite her. He didn't ask until Hephaestus came and sat down, "What did you mean just now... Artemis' abnormality is related to Athena and Hestia's?" Ya related?"
Hephaestus nodded, took out a palm-sized metal ball and a square metal plate, and handed the ball to Aphrodite.
The metal of the ball is silver, and there is an oval eye-like thing in the center. When that eye was aimed at Aphrodite, it suddenly lit up.
Then a projection lit up on the metal plate over Hephaestus, and Aphrodite's curious appearance appeared on the projection. He tilted his head, and he in the projection followed suit.
Hephaestus explained: "This is a treasure I made before. It is not very useful, but it can record some things that have happened and are happening. When I was experimenting with it, I quietly cast a batch on the mountain of God. Treasure, and then I saw Athena sneaking to find Artemis."
Aphrodite didn't speak, just stared blankly at herself in the projection.
The streamer danced around his hair and cheeks, and then hovered quietly on Aphrodite's palm, motionless.
After Aphrodite quietly looked at the projection for a while, he also raised his head in the projection, his beautiful eyes were full of concentration, and fireflies danced on his body, making his appearance as bright as if it would glow.
Besides his appearance, what is more outstanding is his demeanor, which is an indescribable feeling, although he looks gentle and peaceful, he feels alienated, distant, mysterious and noble.
Aphrodite stared at her own projection for a moment, and muttered to herself in a very soft voice: "I am indeed more attractive than Narcissus."
There was a trace of daze in Hephaestus' eyes, and he couldn't hear what Aphrodite was saying.
But Narcissus, who heard it clearly, suddenly lost his light, and immediately closed himself.
It's really difficult, His Highness has seen the most current self again, his beauty and power have been greatly reduced.
Damn Hephaestus!
Aphrodite was very interested in this projection. He looked expectantly at the metal plate in Hephaestus's hand, and asked friendlyly: "Hephaestus, can you show me the metal plate in your hand?" board?"
It was the first time for Hephaestus to see Aphrodite showing such an expression. This was a side of Aphrodite that had never been shown in front of others. There was some longing in her reserve, as if seeing a beloved toy. , his eyes were shining brightly, no one could refuse his request.
Hephaestus stopped breathing, and by the time he realized it, he had given Aphrodite all the metal plates, including the one that recorded the scene outside the Queen's Hall.
Hephaestus somewhat regretted his impulsive behavior. Seeing that Aphrodite was still fiddling with the first metal plate, he wanted to sneak back the other metal plate.
It’s just that he didn’t move, it’s okay, after making a sneaky move, Aphrodite noticed him immediately.
Aphrodite looked at him suspiciously, and took the metal plate he wanted to put away under Hephaestus' anxious gaze.
In fact, Aphrodite does not know how to fiddle with this thing, and is not very clear about the lines on the metal plate that represent different functions, but the measures set by Hephaestus are not complicated. After clicking casually on it, the projection recorded on that metal plate jumped out.
After staring at the environment on the projection for a while, Aphrodite quickly recognized that it was the view of the Queen's Temple, turned her head to stare at Hephaestus, and asked, "Speaking of which, Hefei Stors, did you come to see me for something?"
Hephaestus opened his mouth, and Aphrodite raised his index finger and made a silent gesture between his lips. He said calmly, "Don't try to lie to me."
Hephaestus immediately lost his strength, he lowered his head, and said dejectedly: "I saw Ares come out of the Queen's Temple earlier, and his behavior was a little strange, so I suspected that the Queen of God was having an affair with someone, and then I Just come and see if you're there."
"..." Aphrodite cursed in her heart, stupid Ares!
Aphrodite smirked: "Then are you sure now?"
Hephaestus looked at him anxiously, and quickly took out another sheepskin shield. He pushed the sheepskin shield to Aphrodite and said flatteringly: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I misunderstood your noble character, you It has nothing to do with the Queen of God, please forgive me for distrusting you, I will give you this shield of Aquis, please don't be angry with me, please."
Aphrodite looked at the shield and said in surprise, "Isn't this the shield that the God King asked you to build for him? You give it to me, and you're not afraid that the God King will punish you?"
Hephaestus didn't care: "It's okay, Your Highness, I still have some leftover sheepskins from the god king. I can use those leftovers to rebuild a shield for the god king. As long as your shields don't compete together , God King will not notice the difference."
