Aphrodite recalled that scene, and laughed leisurely.
He got up, held Cupid's little hand, and said to Artemis: "Your Highness, let's go."
Hermes rolled his eyes and asked curiously: "Your Highness, how did you and His Highness Artemis come to the Temple of the Sun? I remember that you obviously went to your temple before..."
Aphrodite smiled at him: "This is a secret."
Hermes shut his mouth embarrassingly.
Aphrodite took the two of them away from the secret garden. After returning to the Temple of Eros, Aphrodite pondered for a while, and did not immediately go to Poseidon, but said: "Let's go to Hercules." Come to Phaistos to have a look at his new and amazing cars."
Artemis readily complied, while Cupid followed behind him with his wings waving, and asked worriedly, "Father, will I really have a sister?"
Aphrodite's eyes moved slightly, and she covered her lips and smiled.
Artemis also found him cute: "Your Highness, you scared Cupid."
Cupid puffed up his face angrily, and his plump little face was also rounded.
They came to the temple of Hephaestus, and Hephaestus was holding a colorless and crystal clear square gemstone sitting there in a daze, frowning, looking a little unhappy.
Seeing Aphrodite and the others approaching, he quickly put down the gemstone, and walked towards them with a smile on his face. He was strong and wild.
It's a pity that not everyone will not be affected by the power of resentment. Artemis turned her head uncomfortably when she could appreciate this scene. She only felt that Hephaestus was unsightly. Not too obvious.
Hephaestus' cold eyes flicked across her, and when they fell on Aphrodite, they became gentle and gentle.
Hephaestus said happily: "Your Highness, did you come here to see the divine car I built for you?"
It can be seen that he really wants to show off his magic car.
Aphrodite couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Okay. By the way..."
Aphrodite changed the subject, her eyes fell on the gemstone on the table, and she asked, "You seemed very unhappy when I came in. Did something happen to you?"
Hephaestus's smile faded a bit, he took the gem and showed it to Aphrodite, his tone was full of indifference: "Mnemosyne brought it, she wanted me to use it to build Make a necklace."
Aphrodite's eyes froze for a moment, and he said lightly: "Huh? The goddess wants to create a beautiful jewelry for herself, is there any problem?"
Hephaestus suppressed his displeasure and said, "But she wants to create it and then give it to you..."
Aphrodite looked indifferent, and there was not much joy on her face.
He remembered Tartarus' warning to him, 'Don't wear the jewels that the goddess gave you'.
Reminiscent of some guesses he had made, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Zeus, Mnemosyne... Are they finally ready to do it
Aphrodite raised her hand and asked politely, "Can you show it to me?"
Hephaestus chuckled: "Of course, this is also a gift she prepared for you."
Aphrodite took the gem from his hand, and as soon as she took it, she felt a divine power from it.
He said thoughtfully: "This gem... is formed by the condensed power of Mnemosyne."
When Hephaestus heard this, there was a look of disgust in his eyes. Obviously, this was the reason for his dissatisfaction before frowning.
Hephaestus said: "Yes... Mnemosyne earnestly begged to make it perfect. She said that because of her past with Zeus, Demeter was jealous and dissatisfied, But Demeter is the main god again... She thinks you and Demeter are very good, and wants to please you with this, please speak for her and Demeter."
"...But she is not sincere at all. The crystal of divine power is controlled by the owner who condensed it. She gave you the crystal of divine power. Who knows if her crystal of divine power will suddenly be controlled by her and then come to hurt you. She is also a A first-class goddess, what kind of treasure can't be found, but she chooses to give this kind of thing."
Aphrodite sneered: "It's okay, don't pay attention to her thoughts, you can make the necklace according to her request."
Hephaestus' face froze, he lowered his head and said in a daze: "Your Highness, are you going to accept this gift?"
Aphrodite shook her head and said, "I will seal it, and by the way, I want to find out her purpose for doing this. As you said, after all, she is a first-class god, or the twelve gods of the Cronus era. One of the main gods, she doesn't need to please Demeter, and Demeter may not really suppress her. She suddenly sold out to me, and she must have a picture."
Hephaestus suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he laughed, and said relaxedly: "Then I will build another magic box, and after Mnemosyne gives you the necklace, you can seal it into the magic box." In the box, she can isolate her influence on the crystallization of divine power."
Aphrodite touched her chin, but did not refuse: "Then let's do this first."
Hephaestus didn't want to continue talking about Mnemosyne, he threw the gem of Mnemosyne back on the table, and said to Aphrodite happily: "Your Highness, I will take you to Take a look at the dawn car I built for you!"
Aphrodite smiled and said gently, "Okay."
Hephaestus looked up at Cupid again, and after seeing the three pairs of small wings on Cupid's back, there was a bit of astonishment and surprise on his face: "Why does Cupid have two more pairs of small wings?"
Aphrodite looked at Cupid with a smile, as if to let him explain himself.
Cupid crossed his hips proudly, and said with the excuse Aphrodite taught before: "It was Gaia's great-grandmother who gave me strength! She wanted me to grow up, but I wanted little wings more, so I also How long are two pairs, uncle, does Cupid look good?"
Hephaestus looked at Aphrodite, saw that his expression was gentle, and his eyes showed an undisguised preference for Cupid, so he also chuckled and said, "It looks good."
Cupid was even happier, crossing his arms across his chest, looking arrogant and arrogant. But his face is sweet and immature, no matter what kind of expression he has, it will only make people feel cute, and no one will hate him except evil gods with ulterior motives.
Aphrodite smiled and shook her head, and said, "Hephaestus, let's go see the Chariot of Dawn."
Hephaestus kept nodding, and Artemis saw that he ignored him from beginning to end, so he couldn't help but muttered, "Hephaestus, is my lunar rover ready?"
Hephaestus glanced at her lightly, and replied casually: "Okay, you go with us, and drive it away by the way. There are too many things accumulated in my temple, and there is not enough space."
Artemis rolled her eyes at him, dissatisfied with his double-standard attitude.
But this is also normal, the relationship between the twin gods and Hera, and the relationship between Hera and Hephaestus are all there, and it is normal for them not to be close.
Several people left the temple and walked towards Hephaestus' forging room.
Hephaestus' forge sounds cramped, but it's actually a very, very large treasure house, not much smaller than the plains of Apollo.
Pushing open the golden gate engraved with the prohibition of the gods, a spacious and bright huge palace appeared in front of their eyes.
There is a row of crystal lamps on the edge of the dome of the palace, from which the incandescent light emanates, illuminating the palace is also very magnificent,
There is a sealed small palace in the northwest corner of the palace, which should be the real forging place of Hephaestus.
In the southwest corner, there are rows of shelves, on which there are various boxes arranged in an orderly manner. The boxes contain different treasures. At a glance, there are more than a hundred shelves, and I don’t know what he has built. , Collected so many things.
In the southeast corner are all kinds of forging materials, and halos of different colors fly out from the treasure, dazzling people.
The goals of Aphrodite's trip, the Chariot of Dawn and the Chariot of the Moon are in the northeast corner.
The moment she saw the divine chariot, Aphrodite was fine, but Artemis was speechless.
Without him, Aphrodite's Chariot of Dawn is very large, at least three meters in length and width, and has an extremely gorgeous appearance. The material of the shaft cannot be described, but it is smooth and bright, and it emits a soft light. The carriage was very large, and he wrapped the outside of the carriage with some kind of silver-white hard cloth, and set it in a semicircular shape that swelled outward, making the carriage look more spacious.
Then there is a huge white pearl inlaid on the top of the car body, and all kinds of magnificent patterns made of precious stones are inlaid on the car body, and the car windows are composed of two transparent and colorless glass windows.
This is just the appearance, Aphrodite and Artemis in the box have not been seen yet, but just looking at the spacious area, you can see how luxurious the interior is, probably not inferior to the temple.
As for how beautiful Aphrodite's chariot is, the chariot of the sun, the chariot of the moon, and the chariot of thunder and waves commissioned by Zeus and the others are so crudely rendered.
The material is not bad, after all, it has to carry the divine power, but it is only good. As for the so-called box body, it is just a small box without a lid.
Artemis looked a little unhappy, and asked, "Hephaestus, is this the new magic car you built for us?"
Hephaestus didn't answer, but said instead, "Helios's divine chariot didn't even have a place to sit, and he just stood on the shaft to drive."
Artemis's heart choked to death, so he could only repeat over and over again: "But, the gap between these divine chariots and the divine chariot of dawn is too great."
Hephaestus said lightly: "The divine chariot of the king of gods is the same as yours, what are you dissatisfied with? What's more, the divine chariot of the dawn is not the only one for His Highness, I have built another one for Eos .”
He pointed to a dusty chariot in the corner. He would never let other goddesses ride in the chariot he specially built for Aphrodite.
Artemis looked at his fingers, becoming more and more speechless. The same is the Divine Chariot of Dawn, but the difference can be said to be one day and one place... No, it is more accurate to use space and abyss to describe it.
Comparing the two sacred cars, the difference is simply indescribable.
"Your Highness deserves the best," Hephaestus said.
Artemis was speechless: "I also agree with what you said, but the fact that His Highness uses the best ones doesn't mean we have to use such simple ones, right?"
Hephaestus had been looking at Aphrodite, who was smiling lowly, but didn't get involved in the conversation between the two.
Hephaestus said perfunctorily to Artemis: "I'm only willing to do so much for you. All I can guarantee is that they are fully functional and won't cause you any accidents when you are patrolling. If you are really not good at appearance If you are satisfied, you can do it yourself."
Artemis glared at him angrily, he was so angry, but he had no words to refute.
Aphrodite smoothed things over and said, "Okay, stop arguing, let's go out. I still have something to talk to Poseidon about."
Hephaestus dragged the Chariot of Dawn out and sent it flying out of the temple. Artemis' movements were not so straightforward, and after a while, he slowly sent the lunar rover out.
She mainly didn't want those two sacred cars to appear together, because the effect of the comparison was too tragic.
After getting the moon cart, Artemis said goodbye and left first, leaving Hephaestus volunteering to accompany Aphrodite to find Poseidon.
Along the way, Cupid shot everywhere with arrows, Aphrodite looked up and ignored him. The blind love he is in charge of doesn't make sense, so it's okay if he messes around.
Aphrodite asked Hephaestus, "Can you carve and clay?"
Hephaestus froze for a moment, nodded and smiled, "Of course, this is what I'm best at."
Aphrodite coughed lightly, feeling a little ashamed at the thought of Arthur, who was born unexpectedly, and said awkwardly, "I want to learn this skill from you..."
Hephaestus landed on his perfectly slender fingers, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, if you want anything, just tell me, let us do it for you, it doesn't matter if you are not very satisfied, I am willing to keep changing until you are satisfied, and you don't have to do it yourself."
Aphrodite shook her head and said, "It's not the same, anyway, are you willing to be my teacher?"
Hephaestus stared at him blankly, lowered his head in a panic and said, "Yes, I am willing!"
Aphrodite chuckled, and while speaking, they came to Poseidon's temple.
When Poseidon saw Aphrodite coming, he didn't even look at him, but squinted at him, as if he looked very disdainful of Aphrodite, and he said in a strange way: "So it's Your Excellency, God of Life, why are you suddenly free today, and came to my Temple of Waves. Is there something you want me to do!"
Aphrodite and Hephaestus found a place to sit down by themselves, and they were not annoyed when they saw that his words made people unhappy, and they said calmly: "Can't it be that I want to come and greet you?"
Poseidon sneered: "How long have I followed you from the sea realm to Shenshan, and you, a busy god, have never visited me once. I think you must have bad intentions when you come here suddenly today."
Aphrodite smiled and said: "If you insist on thinking about me like that, then I can't help it. But I really want to come to care about you today."
Hearing the words, Poseidon looked over, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly, "Oh? Then what are you going to care about me?"
Aphrodite asked: "Did you not spread the rumor I gave you when I was in the sea realm? I don't seem to have heard it on the mountain."
That rumor refers to Athena's 'Mystery of Life'.
Poseidon's face turned ugly, he lowered his head, and clenched his fists unconsciously.
Aphrodite narrowed her eyes, taking in his movements. It seems... Poseidon may have done this, but the rumors should not have been spread for long before Zeus discovered it. Zeus may have taught him a big lesson, otherwise Poseidon would not subconsciously show such a tense look.
Aphrodite's voice softened a little: "Sorry, I neglected you and caused you to suffer."
Poseidon glanced at him uncomfortably, and muttered: "What suffering, I am the king of the sea. If you feel that I am sorry for leaving me on the mountain of God, you can help me find a way to make Zeus look good."
Aphrodite hooked her fingers at him, and said with a smile: "Then come here, and I will whisper in your ear?"
Seeing that he didn't even have time to hesitate and think, Poseidon had a look of suspicion in his eyes.
He leaned over suspiciously, and Aphrodite whispered in his ear, telling him to tell the hidden disease of Zeus.
As long as news spreads, Zeus will have to take action to suppress a series of related matters.
As soon as he finished speaking, Poseidon shook his head frantically and kept saying, "No, Zeus will eat me."
Aphrodite wondered: "You are so afraid of resisting... Could it be that he tortured you?"
Poseidon's eyes flickered, Aphrodite looked at him thoughtfully, Poseidon said angrily: "Don't look at me with such eyes, and ah, didn't you say you cared about me? , Why did you give me an idea again? Did you mean to use me to annoy Zeus, and watch him jump in anger without being tortured by him!"
Aphrodite said helplessly: "I have provoked him more times than you, and he holds a grudge against me no less than you. If he could do something to me, he would have done it long ago. If so, how can we talk about me?" Afraid of being tortured by him."
Poseidon snorted, "Then you are just looking at me as unhappy, deliberately plotting against me, calling me unlucky."
Aphrodite laughed dumbfounded: "... This is really a big misunderstanding."
There was a trace of resentment in Poseidon's eyes: "However, if you have a way to prevent Zeus from catching me, I will pass it on for you. That bastard Zeus dared to threaten me. I must let his dignity be demolished." !"
Aphrodite suggested: "Why don't you find a few more gods to follow, even if Zeus comes to you, you won't go away. He won't discuss these things with you in front of the gods. Isn't that Is it true that he has a hidden disease?"
Poseidon shook his head and said, "That's impossible. I can stay in the group of gods and keep calling him, but the gods will throw me to him... unless there is someone who is not afraid of him."
Poseidon leaned over with a smile, leaned on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Isn't there just one person in front of me who is not afraid of him?"
"Aphrodite, I have been following you, okay?"
Hephaestus couldn't help but glared at Poseidon, and asked Aphrodite, "Your Highness, what he doesn't want to do, I can do for you!"
Aphrodite interrupted him with a smile, and teased: "That's not okay, Hephaestus, you don't look like the kind of god who loves gossip, talks nonsense all day long and doesn't do serious things, you Not suitable for doing this."
Poseidon's face contorted for a moment, and he pinched Aphrodite's nape with his palms, threatening him: "Hey, Aphrodite, don't speak ill of me!"
Aphrodite squinted at him, her expression was casual but full of infinite charm.
Cupid quietly landed beside him, holding a golden arrow in his hand to scare Poseidon, saying: "Hey, don't hurt my father, or believe it or not, I will pierce you with a golden arrow and make you fall in love with Zeus!"
The power of Cupid's golden bow was still vivid, Poseidon quickly let go, and complained to Aphrodite: "Aphrodite, your son's words are really annoying."
Aphrodite did not comment on Cupid's actions, but said: "Your Highness, just do whatever you want. If Zeus really comes to arrest you, you can come to me instead."
He smiled and said, "I'm a god with a strong sense of justice, and I won't sit back and watch the god king use his power to bully his god."
Poseidon rolled his eyes, and Aphrodite asked again: "Speaking of which, is it okay if you haven't returned to the sea realm, Your Highness Poseidon? The sea realm doesn't need your management?"
Poseidon said speechlessly: "Heh, Oceanus and Tesis are all that is needed in the sea world. I, the sea king, just make up for it. What use do I have?"
Aphrodite was thoughtful, but said nothing.
He smiled and said, "Then I'm leaving?"
Poseidon waved his hand and watched him go, but he didn't move, he was already thinking about how to ruin Zeus' reputation.
He still doesn't know that Aphrodite's real purpose is to use this rumor to suppress Hebe's life experience. Even if he knew it, maybe he didn't care, as long as it could make Zeus feel deflated, he would not let go of any opportunity.
Aphrodite had already communicated with Poseidon, and then put it aside, and then learned how to pinch dolls with Hephaestus, trying to make her hands-on level and aesthetics go hand in hand, absolutely not lagging behind.
And Cupid acted as a model in this process. He is a perfect child, and there is a ready-made template that saves Aphrodite from re-conceiving.
About two days later, Poseidon did not come, but Hermes came with the oracle of Zeus.
Hermes glanced at him secretly, cleared his throat and said: "Your Highness Aphrodite, Your Highness Hephaestus, good day. Your Majesty ordered me to invite you to the Palace of God Kings to discuss matters."
After a pause, he added: "The new human beings have been created, and the king of gods is going to call the gods to set up temples among the human beings, so that human beings can begin to worship the gods and offer their faith."
Aphrodite looked surprised, and asked in doubt: "It hasn't been long since the new human being was born, is the God King so anxious?"
How long has it been since Prometheus and Athena left? Even if the first human being has all the money, it should be less than a month, right
Cutting leeks is not so fast.
