Chapter 45 Mother and Child

On the earth, Hermes, who was gifted by Hephaestus, couldn't control himself happily. His figure flickered around the earth, and many humans in the world saw the appearance of him holding a lyre in his arms.

Although he is young, he also understands that he has come into contact with incredible people.

Suddenly, he saw Apollo streaking across the sky like a ray of light.

Hermes had heard about this man, who was also a child of Zeus, and he felt a strong sense of competitiveness in his heart.

As his figure flickered, he stood in front of Apollo, raised the piano in his hand provocatively, made a grimace, and then disappeared.

But Apollo immediately stared at him, to be precise, at the harp in his arms.

Apollo is a man of knowledge, that piano is not simple.

He became lustful.

Several figures walked out of his body and went to different places.

But these places are all very close to the cave where Hermes lived.

A very simple strategy, but it works because of the unequal information...

Apollo deliberately brought a herd of cows to provoke Hermes, saying that the harp in his hand was nothing more than that, and then threw the cows on the mountain to graze under the watchful eyes of Hermes.

Hermes, who thought he was smart, was really angry and stole Apollo's cattle in a fit of anger.

The rest of the matter was very simple. With the help of "people", Apollo found it easily. Hermes was not in his eyes at all. After several verbal confrontations, he reluctantly surrendered. I got the artifact that I just got.

Hermes didn't know that there were no human beings living around the mountains where he lived.

But all this was seen by a goddess.

She is Pleone, the daughter of Oceanus and wife of Atlas.

The purpose of this trip is to visit her daughter Maia, who has already been born.

She really wanted to rush out and stop Apollo who was about to leave after getting the lyre.

after all.

"That is an artifact created by the god of fire, Hephaestus!"

Pleone was a little reconciled, she looked around, trying to find out who was hiding behind Apollo in the dark.

But she calmed down quickly, stared deeply at Apollo, and flew towards the sea.

The sea.

The ocean god Oceanus and his wife Tesis jointly control the entire sea territory except the seabed.

He and his wife Tesis were chatting and laughing in the temple when Pleone broke in suddenly.

Seeing his daughter, Oceanus was very happy.

"Pleone, here you come!"

"Quick, find a seat and sit down."

Pleone took a deep breath, and she sat on a chair, sorting out the rhetoric in her head.

She said to Oceanus, "Father, do you know?"

"My daughter Maia has not only a man, but a child."

Oceanos was visibly taken aback.

Although the topic was a little jumpy, he immediately reacted.He smiled and asked Pleone: "Who is that man, and what is the child's name?"

Pleone looked at him abruptly: "That man is Zeus, and the child's name is Hermes."

The temple became quiet, Oceanos was not stupid, he could see that his daughter's mood today was not right.

Pleone lowered her head, and she continued, "I went to visit them today."

"Hermes is a very clever boy, and Hephaestus, the god of fire, also likes him very much."

"He also gave Hermes a lyre for this purpose. It is a very good artifact. I saw that the strings of the lyre are woven with the thin threads of fate."

"but."

Pleone's words ushered in a turning point.

"Apollo coaxed this artifact."

"He is a liar who only deceives ignorant children."

"Father, there are too many people standing behind him, I need your help."

Oceanos and Tesis looked at each other and frowned.

He asked Pleone: "Son, who else have you seen besides Apollo?"

Pleone immediately replied: "No, he is alone."

"But I'm sure Leto will help her son, and Zeus will ignore it."

"After all, not everyone enjoys the honor like Hera, and Maia is just a lover of Zeus, not his wife..."

Oceanos found it a bit difficult to say, but he still said: "My child, I may not be suitable to come forward."

"Our family is neutral in everyone's eyes. As long as your mother and I don't get involved in disputes, you can live well."

"If it's just a dispute between Apollo and Hermes, we have no reason to get involved."

Pleone's emotions became agitated: "What happened last time?"

"Hephaestus and Hades fight."

"You and mother support Hephaestus."

Oceanos explained: "That was a last resort, and it was also a tacit understanding between us and Zeus."

"But this time is different. If we participate, no matter what the result is, we will be regarded as people close to Zeus by default."

"Because Hermes is his child."

Pleone was silent for a moment, then suddenly began to tell a story.

"Father, I actually had a dream last night, dreaming that I became you."

"In my dream, I was standing in this magnificent temple, and I was squeezed out by many tall figures."

"I tried to look, but I couldn't see their faces clearly."

"I laughed crazily outside the temple. Sometimes I felt that I was still in the temple, sitting on the throne, and sometimes I felt that I was outside the temple, desolate and desolate."

"I started not knowing which was the real me, was I really me? Then I woke up."

"Father, what do you think this strange dream means?"

Ocean God Oceanus was silent for a while: "It's a very interesting dream. I will think about it carefully and help you solve your doubts."

Tesis on the side couldn't help it anymore. She angrily scolded Pleone: "What do you want to say? Express dissatisfaction with us?"

"Haven't you ever wondered why after Atlas rebelled against Zeus, you and your daughter can still walk in the world instead of being imprisoned in the bottomless abyss?"

"Because you are our daughter, you are born with this right."

"You are also a mother, have seven daughters, know what love is."

"But your father and I are more than seven. We not only need to consider one person, but also take care of all of you."

"Ask yourself, if it were you, would you be able to do better than us?"

Pleone walked out of the temple indifferently without saying a word.

Behind him, Tethis closed his eyes tightly, dripping a tear.

She yelled at Pleone's distant figure, "I will go to Hera to intercede."

"Don't worry, your daughter and grandson will be fine."

"At least better than me and your father."

Oceanos on the side sighed and walked wearily towards the throne.

ps: Ask very seriously, is the thing written in the past two days a lump that is hard to swallow.

Because after riding for a day during the day, I have no idea at night.

Everyone give feedback, I need to measure it.

　Fluttering Street Diary: Walking on the mountain road in the morning, I fell hard, the non-slip gloves were worn out, and a hole was worn in the trousers. Fortunately, I wore knee pads and a helmet. If the chain fell off, everyone was fine. It can be seen that sports How important it is to wear protective gear at all times.But it’s a blessing in disguise. Not long after I resumed riding, I saw a large apple tree on the road. I looked around and picked two with one slide.The apple is only about the size of three fingers, with a hint of red in the green. It tastes sweet and slightly sour, and it quenches your thirst.On the road, I heard people say that Shangri-La is always uphill, I was so scared!
