Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 190 The Betrayed Hundred-eyed Giant
Hermes' words successfully changed the subject, causing Argos' curiosity to turn to the other side.

The God of Thieves has never forgotten his mission, and he introduced the origin of the flute to the hundred-eyed giant.

"The beauty of the mountain goddess Xurenx has attracted many suitors for her. In order to avoid the pursuit of the forest god and the god of agriculture Saturn, she lived a life alone in the deep mountains.

But at this moment, he happened to run into the mighty mountain god Pan. "

Speaking of this, Argos said enthusiastically: "God Pan, I know, he is a guy with a strong vision, I heard that he learned hand music from his father Hermes, and passed this method on to the shepherds. "

Hearing him mention this, Hermes suddenly lost face, and quickly defended: "That's not me... no, it wasn't Hermes who taught him, it was the result of his own exploration!!"

"Really?" The hundred-eyed giant looked at him suspiciously, "Then why is your face so red?"

"I'm just ashamed of his behavior. Yes, that's it."

In order to prove his point of view, Hermes said many bad things about Pan, that is, his son, which convinced the other party that Pan's trouble had nothing to do with Hermes himself.

Next, the story continues.

Pan Shen met Xurenkes, the goddess of the forest, and fell in love so quickly. He took a fancy to this woman at a glance, and wanted to pursue her by virtue of his prominent status.

He plucked a bright flower and, like Zeus, spoke love words to the goddess of the forest, Xurenkes, "Beautiful goddess, stop wandering in the mountains and forests, because after your suitors see me, All will become ashamed.

I am the great god of Olympus, the child of Hermes in the novel, only I can give you a haven from the storm, and only I can give you a happy life. "

Pan Shen talked eloquently, thinking it was very funny.

However, he forgot that Zeus was able to succeed every time. In addition to his prominent status, he also had an appearance that surpassed ordinary people. Even if he grew a beard, he was handsome and had a unique sense of beauty.

And what about God Pan?

He has strong horns and is covered with thick wool. Even the lower body is in the shape of a sheep. The sheep's hooves are paired with woolen pants. The smell of the fishy smell is unbearable.

Not to mention the goddess of the mountain, even the human beings in the dust, they probably wouldn't like this sheep-turned-spirited guy.

The reason why it is [-]% and not [-]% is because there are indeed human beings who have had abnormal male-female relationships with God Pan.

That is the unborn Dionysus, Dionysus' maid.

Since the birth of Dionysus, he has often held banquets in the name of the Dionysus Festival because he brought such fine wines as wine.

And Pan Shen, a shameless guy, always participated, and when everyone was drunk, he slept with every one of Dionysus, remember, every maid.

After a long time, these maids not only did not feel disgusted, but also had a kind of curiosity-seeking joy.

At this point, even Menoitius would call him an expert.

God Pan launched an offensive against the goddess of the forest, and also intended to make the other party accept him by virtue of his status as the god of Olympus.

When the mountain goddess smelled that smell, she couldn't bear the nausea anymore, so she quickly rejected him.

But Pan Shen didn't wink at all, instead, he intensified his pursuit and sent all kinds of game, during which he even started to move.

The Goddess of the Forest was so frightened by him that she quickly started to run away.After a while, it disappeared on the vast grassland and fled to the Latong River.The river was flowing slowly, but the river was so wide that she couldn't wade across it.

The girl was very anxious, so she had to pray to the sky, begging the god to sympathize with her, and help her change her appearance before the mountain god came after her.

"Great god, no matter who it is, please help me, change me into another look, and keep me safe from harm."

The god answered her prayer, when Pan, the mountain god, came to her.He opened his arms and hugged the girl standing on the bank of the river.

But to his surprise, he found that it was not the girl he was hugging, but a reed.

The mountain god let out a melancholy lament, his voice becoming thick and loud as it passed through the reed pipe.This wonderful sound finally comforted the disappointed god.

"Well, transfigured lover," he cried with sudden joy in his agony, "even so, we shall be united!"

After finishing speaking, he cut the reed into small rods of different lengths, connected the reed rods with wax, and named his reed flute after the girl Hamadryades.From then on, this kind of reed flute is called Xurenx.

After the story was told, the Hundred-Eyed Giant was already drowsy. It was already night, and he had been tense during the day. Now that it was night, he naturally fell asleep, and fell asleep listening to the story.

Hermes waved his hand in front of the opponent, and found that most of Argos' eyes were closed, except for the two eyes facing the little white bull Io, which were wide open.

"If I steal it rashly, I will definitely be discovered."

Hermes searched for a strategy silently, and seeing the reed flute in his hand, he couldn't help but have an idea.

Ever since, the melodious flute sounded again in the night, and it was only when the last pair of eyes closed with the melodious music that they breathed a sigh of relief.

After waiting for a while, when the heavy snoring sounded, he suddenly pulled out a long, gleaming sharp sword from his pocket.

Then, he flew up and slashed at Argos' neck continuously.

"My friend, forgive me, I can't help myself, may your soul rest in peace in the dark place.

Honestly, I'm going to miss you and your stupidity! ! "

At the end, he shouted loudly, and the sword fell with the sound, waking up Argos instantly, and a hundred eyes on his body opened at the same time.

But at this moment, it was already too late, the opponent's head had already rolled off his shoulder along with the sword, and rolled into the grass with a rustle.

Because the head fell from the cavity, a fountain of blood spewed out with a bang, spraying Hermes all over his head and face.

After doing this, Hermes smiled and took off the bridle on Io's head, but he still couldn't release Zeus's magical power of transformation.

But this was enough to make Io jump happily, because she no longer needed to be dragged around by the rein like before, without even having time to breathe.

When Hera discovered all this, the anger in her heart increased exponentially, both angry and sad.

Argos kept his eyes open when he was dying, what kind of pain and unwillingness should this be?

And this giant was ordered by Hera.

Just like Gaia wanted to protect Piton back then, in order to gain the conviction of his subordinates, Hera had to get angry at this moment, and Argos must not let Argos die in vain.

Because it will chill the hearts of other subjects who carry out her orders.

So she took out one hundred beautiful eyes of Argos, put them on a poor and boring old bird, and turned it into a peacock in nature.

And because of the one hundred eyes of the hundred-eyed giant, the peacock has become proud, colorful and arrogant.

After solving these problems, Hera turned her head back and looked at the world. Her gaze passed through layers of clouds and mist, and finally landed on the grassland.

There, Yio was eating grass leisurely and playing on the grass very comfortably.

"My faithful servant died because of you, how can you live so leisurely and comfortably?"

Gritting her teeth angrily, Hera turned around and took a sword from the wall of the shrine, turning it into a huge gadfly.

"Go, go and make that bitch pay! Every time you bite her, it will hurt like a sword piercing flesh!!"

The Gadfly got the order and immediately flew to the world.

At the beginning, Io saw the ferocious insect and didn't realize the danger, but when the gadfly's needle pierced her flesh, Io jumped up arched in pain, mooing in pain, Flicking its tail to drive away, while running away.

Along the northern shore of the Aegean Sea, Io fled all the way.Swim across the Strait of Istanbul between Europe and Asia, still known in her honor as "the place where the cows wade".

Enduring the pain, Yio ran all the way, stumbled and screamed, and finally came to the Caucasus Mountains.

As we all know, this is where Prometheus was imprisoned
At this time, the Gadfly seemed to relax for a while, so Io was able to see the God of Foresight tortured on the cliff.

Seeing the other party being pecked at the internal organs by the eagle, Yio was almost stunned in fright, "My God, why do you have to suffer such great pain?"

This kind girl actually still has the heart to sympathize with others at this moment.

The God of Foresight didn't intend to explain, but panted and said, "Sit down and take a breath, Io. Keep your spirits up, you'll get better."

Unexpectedly, what he said made Yio think of his own situation, and couldn't help feeling sad, crying and shaking the bull's head, saying: "No, it will only get worse."

She sobbed and said, "I have turned into a cow. The biggest and most ferocious gadfly in the world is chasing and biting me, and Hera will drive me to death. Now I only have the difference of how to die, whether I am stung or sentient." Jump madly into the sea and drown."

"I know you are very desperate now," Prometheus raised his pale face, and he expressed great sympathy for the little girl, because everyone is also a victim of Zeus, so he said, "Sometimes I can See the future, so I know what's next. You will return to human form and establish a great dynasty in the valley of the Nile. From your descendants will be born one of the greatest heroes of all time.

So cheer up and have fun, okay? "

The comfort from Prometheus finally cheered Io up a bit, but she didn't take it seriously, but raised her tail and started to flee again, because the huge gadfly chased up again, and It brought her pain like a sword stabbing.

For Yio, although he was indeed suffering a lot, the words of Prometheus also had a great effect.

After all, he was being eaten openly by a ferocious vulture, and it just looked a little scary.Compared with the eternal pain of Prometheus, what is this insignificant difficulty of oneself?

Being chased all the way, there is no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to go to the earth. Io fled to Scutia, fled to the Amazon tribe, fled to the Bosporus Strait, and fled to the Sea of ​​Assef.

She crossed the ocean to Asia.

Finally, after another long journey, he came to Egypt in despair.On the bank of the Nile, Io was extremely exhausted. She knelt down on her front feet, raised her head, and looked up at the holy mountain of Olympus, with pleading eyes in her eyes.

"Zeus, Zeus, if you could see all this, how could you have the heart to make me suffer so much?"

She yelled loudly, and Zeus certainly understood her voice. Looking at the woman in front of him, he remembered the joy of fish and water they had together, and finally his heart touched.

At this time, Hera also came over, stood beside Zeus, looked down at what happened in the world together with him, and jokingly said: "Why? This is unbearable?
Shouldn't you have thought of all this from the moment you betrayed and hurt my feelings? "

Hera's words made Zeus feel ashamed. Of course he knew how strong his wife's jealousy was, but every time he faced the temptation, he did it without hesitation. Now that I think about it, the source of Io's suffering does not come from himself ?
Perhaps it was enlightenment, conscience, or compassion?

No matter what, Zeus at this moment realized his mistake. He couldn't help but hugged Hera, kissed her on the cheek, and apologized affectionately to the other party, "Dear Hera, the most beautiful Hera, you are the most beautiful in my palm." My pearl, show mercy!!"

While hugging Tianhou tightly, he said good things about other women, and said: "Io didn't seduce me, nor did she have any temptation for me. She is your loyal priestess."

"So?" Hera sneered, unmoved, "It's not her fault, then it's your fault?"

Tianhou didn't believe his rhetoric at all, because she knew that the king of gods would never admit that he was wrong.

But at this moment, Zeus realized that he only wanted her to let his lover go, so he admitted: "It's my fault, I forced Io to do such evil things.

I am willing to swear at this moment that I will never pursue Yio again, or have any relationship with her, just let her go. "

As he spoke, Zeus also swore an oath to the Styx River.

Seeing that he was able to admit his mistake, Hera couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. How could the god king be wrong?
You know, in order to cover up his mistakes, Zeus conspired with her and pushed Athena directly to Poseidon.

As a result, when Hermes was born, he could only be called Sea God's father, and as his own father, he could only be treated like a godfather.

But in any case, Zeus had sworn, and even she had to believe the truth.

At this moment, Io also let out a begging moo.

Remembering that the other party's father is her own believer, Hera finally softened her heart in order to help her offend Poseidon, "Okay, I will forgive you, but remember, only this time!!"

While speaking, Hera recalled the Gadfly.

But you must not have imagined that Zeus, who had just sworn an oath, found Io, who had turned into a white bull, on his back. He reached out and stroked the back of the heifer.A miracle appeared immediately: the shaggy hair on the heifer disappeared, the horns retracted, the eyes became smaller, the mouth became small human lips, the shoulders and two hands appeared, the hooves disappeared suddenly, Everything about the heifer was gone except for the beautiful white color.

Seeing such a tempting Io, Zeus couldn't help falling in love with him, and started playing with Io again. After that, the pair became pregnant with a child.

The oath of the Styx River is like a fart to the king of gods, it is completely a means of restricting others.
