"Hey, don't you need to put on such an attitude? Let's say we are old friends, shouldn't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"

"Forget about putting the mouse in the rice vat, I don't want to have to check if I'm missing something afterwards." Hera said sarcastically.

Hermes had a bitter face: "I am a messenger, not a thief. Even you, my lord goddess, shouldn't belittle me like this."

"But neither messengers nor thieves come to my house without reason. They either bring something or take something away."

Hera narrowed her eyes: "Forgive me for not accepting it!"

"You misunderstood me, I really just wanted to visit you suddenly!"

Hermes looked up to the sky and screamed, but seeing that Hera's attitude did not soften in any way, he could only give up this clumsy third-rate drama with a wry smile.

What is his nature? He can hide it from others, but it is impossible to hide it from the goddess in front of him. Even acting is meaningless.

"Well, I do have something I want to tell you by the way."

Hermes pressed the brim of his hat and said in a low voice, "That thing...failed."

"what?"

Hera frowned first, then seemed to think of something, and her expression became horrified.

"It failed... So, did you really do that kind of thing?"

"Please calm down, this is not my decision alone, but the consensus of all the losers."

Hermes said calmly: "At that time——after the failure of the [Black Dragon] crusade, the losers who were once in despair had only one way to pin their hopes on."

"But I have warned you already!"

Hera's tone was not good: "Doing such a thing will be condemned by God!"

It certainly seemed comical for a god to utter the words "God damned," but it also proved Hera's wrath.

"Creating a [hero] artificially... This should be the last thing a god can do."

Many years ago, the two major families that once dominated Orario at that time: [Zeus Family] and [Hera Family] once joined forces to attack the overlord-level monsters known as the "Three Great Commissions of the World".

The two families at their peak defeated the emperor of land "Behemos" and the overlord of the ocean "Leviathan" one after another, but they were nearly wiped out when they were fighting against the last monster - the one-eyed black dragon. tragic ending.

The two major families whose strength has declined greatly were expelled from Orario by the latecomers Loki and Freya.

However, Zeus and Hera were not the only gods who were affected at that time.

The crusade against the black dragon was a collective desire. At that time, many people regarded the two strongest families in history as the families of heroes, and hoped that they could complete this task.

Although it failed in the end, the losers did not give up.

After reflecting on the reasons for their failure, they came to a conclusion: What is needed to defeat the black dragon is not only overwhelming force, but also a leader who can unite everyone, a "hero" who can surpass myths and epics!

It's just that there was more than one LV8 among the two major families at that time, and even so they failed.

After Zeus and the Hera family were almost wiped out, the high-end combat power among adventurers was interrupted for a whole generation (it has not been recovered so far).

In other words, judging from the circumstances at the time, it was almost impossible to select someone who could bear the title of "hero".

However, the gods did not give up at this point. It should be noted that they are a very patient existence, and they can even plan some things in units of ten years.

If there is no ready-made hero, as long as we cultivate one from scratch - this bold idea appeared in the mind of some people.

Ever since, some gods who hadn't completely given up, including Zeus, selected a certain human baby and started this plan destined to have a long cycle.

It's just that Hera didn't participate, and she withdrew very disdainfully.

"I don't even understand now, why did you quit?"

Hermes, the Messenger God, seems to be an insider of this plan: "Would you, who have always been proud and arrogant...even arrogant, be willing to surrender to that black dragon?"

"Who do you think you're talking to?"

A majestic golden streamer flashed in Hera's eyes, making Hermes hold his breath.

"Give in? No, I just don't want to be ugly anymore.

Life, reputation, future—the battle where everything is at stake, not only for us, but also for monsters, so the black dragon also responded positively to us.

My children bravely challenged the black dragon and burned themselves without any regrets. Even if they lost, it was proof of their existence.

That being the case, that's enough... It's ridiculous to say that there will be a second time or something, can't you just admit that you have lost?

That battle may have been regrettable, but it was never wrong! "

"But isn't it natural for the loser to want to come back?"

"By sacrificing a child?"

Hera sneered disdainfully: "Creating a hero artificially and arbitrarily deciding a child's life is not what a god should do."

"...Maybe it was because of this that I was punished."

Hermes smiled helplessly: "Maybe you are right—Zeus failed."

"Oh?"

"He said that although the child he raised was very lovable, a kind and gentle child, he didn't have the qualities to be a leader. It is estimated that he can only live an ordinary life in the future. He also hopes that I can Take care of one or two."

Hera was silent for a moment, perhaps thinking of some old friends from that child.

"That's right, that's fine... Is he really a gentle child like his mother?"

"But in this way, other people's long-cherished wishes will be shattered. I don't think they will give up so easily. They will probably test that child." Hermes said lightly.

"Wouldn't you be one of these 'others'?"

"..."

"I understand."

Hera changed the subject: "So, why did you come to me? It's not just to say these things, is it?"

"It turned out that I wanted to persuade you to join that plan together. After all, although it has been shattered now, you still have a certain amount of energy in Olalie..."

Hermes lowered the brim of his hat and laughed at himself: "However, I also give up now."

"So that's the case, then I won't give it away. Goodbye, Hermes."

"It's so mean, not even a cup of hot tea."

"Stop talking nonsense, I have never liked you very much, you know that too?"

"I know, I know, but it's still a bit..."

"correct!"

Finally, Hera thought of something, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"You may encounter some interesting things when you return to Olalie this time."

"what?"

After Hermes left, Hera returned to the room and found the iron rod that Jiang Liu had used in his previous practice.

"Oh......"

Trying to hold the iron rod tightly, the blond goddess frowned.

"It's so heavy... that kid was swinging something like this when he was one year old."

Hera did not agree with the ideas of the gods of Zeus. It might not be a bad thing to create a hero, but putting this kind of fate on a child who is unable to refuse is undoubtedly a manifestation of the gods evading their responsibilities.

However, if it is a child who actively expresses his willingness to become a hero without anyone specifically guiding him...then as a mother, she can only choose to support it.

Although she didn't know why, her child was like a "rough stone" born in the name of a hero, and she began to strictly demand herself even though no one urged her.

Therefore, for Hercules (Jiang Liu), she chose to let him go to Orari.

"At the end of the day, what is a 'hero'... But, my child, your future will be full of glory, and you are destined to return surrounded by everyone."

PS: I suddenly had a very interesting association.

It is said that although the relationship between the gods in "Dungeon" is not the same as in the original mythology, the settings are very similar, and many mythological stalks have been played in the original book.

Judging from some clues in the original book, Bell was chosen by some gods to serve as a "hero leader" to complete the task of defeating the black dragon.Therefore, Hermes would be so interested in him (but Hermes himself is also a pleasure criminal), and arranged many trial tasks.

The prototype of Bell probably corresponds to the myths such as "Argo", "The Ship of Heroes", "Theseus", "Minotaurus (Asterios) and the Labyrinth" in Greek mythology.

Guess, it is unlikely that Bell will be singled out with the black dragon in the end, and it is more likely that a group of heroes will complete the same task like the Argo.

However, if it is said that Bell's setting is a hero who was "born to complete the mission of the gods, and was helped and guided by the gods, and completed countless trials".

Then there is a hero in Greek mythology who is more like his prototype: Hercules.

——So, it is the general trend for Bell to grow into a muscular man (laughs)!

Chapter 165: The Lost Lonely King, the Queen of the Night's Past

"Quick! Run away!"

"Impossible, this monster—ah!"

"We can't win, we can't win alone, run away!"

"I, I will die here ahahahahahahaha..."

Each floor of the dungeon expands with depth. Although there are special cases, it can be considered that the maze as a whole has a conical shape that is thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top.

It is said that the deep floor even has a vast space that can swallow the entire Orario, which is really amazing. What the adventurers have explored for so long is only a part of it.

But if it is from the middle layer up, that is, before the 24th floor, most of it has been explored, and the rules here are basically figured out, and a lot of information about monsters is also mastered.

—But there is still the unknown.

On this day, a certain team entered the 15th floor. It was only to accept the commission of the guild to complete a task of collecting herbs, but accidentally discovered a hidden passage.

"Rabbit Hole" - Among seasoned adventurers, this term is used to describe an unknown room that is covered up.

This kind of place is occasionally found in the dungeon, it is often a small space sandwiched between two floors, and the location is hidden and difficult to find.

Since it has not been discovered by the predecessors, it means that there may be more harvests, even rare materials that have not been recorded before.
