Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 292 Dedicated to the most beautiful goddess! (Introduction 1/2)

In the next two days, as the wedding date approached, the whole of Athens was immersed in an increasingly festive atmosphere. The Athenians who loved entertainment and excitement enjoyed the peace after the war of gods in various ways.

And from different city-states, different regions, and different God Blood families, the envoys gathered here one after another, while touring Athens as a cultural center to kill time, while waiting to celebrate the wedding of the shepherd on the Ares Mountain.

In contrast, the Ares Mountain, as the organizer of the wedding, seemed much busier. The three Graces were responsible for external reception, the nine Muses were responsible for internal coordination, Medusa led the three Gorgon sisters and the power of the Academy of Athens to maintain the order on the surface, and the sons of Typhon who could not see the light were hiding in the dark and on guard under the order of the snake mother Echidna...

As for Lorne himself, he locked himself in the Great Temple, dealing with a mountain of work. Except for the basic delivery of meals and the reception that he really couldn't refuse, he basically didn't see outsiders.

It seemed that because the affairs that needed to be dealt with were too heavy, the overworked shepherd became visibly haggard in just two days and two nights.

Fortunately, on the eve of the upcoming wedding, this long tug-of-war finally came to an end.

After Lorne finished dealing with the last document on the desk, he threw away the iron pen, and under the gaze of six eyes behind him, he rushed out of the magic cave like a desperate escape, ran all the way to the Academy of Athens, and jumped into the lake to wash himself inside and out.

Then, he unceremoniously dragged the sleeping teacher Ma Chiron from the lakeside cottage, and took this member of the temporary group of relatives and friends to Hestia's house together to prepare for the wedding that was coming tomorrow morning.

While the two were busy, the three goddesses who organized the silver party finally left the Great Temple, and under the leadership of Hera, they came to the basically completed wedding site for inspection, and temporarily played the role of the bride Thetis's family.

Because, many of the preparations for the ancient Greek wedding needed to be done by the bride's family. In the pre-wedding preparation stage, the bride will prepare the dowry, and the bride's mother will personally build the wedding venue.

As the goddess in charge of marriage and the adoptive mother of Thetis, Hera still needs to worry about the wedding of her adopted daughter.

As for Athena and Artemis who were pulled over to help, it is considered to compensate the bride for the groom's usage fee in another sense.

The three goddesses carefully inspected the wedding scene, corrected some errors in details, made up for the omissions in preparation, and worked patiently for most of the night until they confirmed that everything was perfectly ready. Then they left the scene with satisfaction and went to the new house where the bride Thetis lived.

According to custom, the bride will have a baptism ceremony the night before the wedding, apply rock salt and minerals, and bathe to remove dirt, symbolizing purification and tranquility.

As a group of relatives and friends, they naturally need to go over to help, or show up to eliminate certain suspicions.

Hearing the noise, Thetis opened the door and saw three relatives and friends standing outside. She smiled sincerely and invited them to perform the baptism ceremony for her.

The three goddesses and the bride chatted and laughed as they entered the bath on the mountain, spending the last night before the wedding in a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere.

At the same time, a bloody figure sneaked into the wedding scene after sneaking all the way.

Seeing that no one was around, the latecomer played with the gold-plated invitation in his hand, and a malicious smile appeared on his face. Then he raised his hand and placed a golden apple on a plate left on the table.

Under the moonlight, a line of words engraved on the surface of the golden apple faced the door of the venue.

——Dedicated to the most beautiful goddess!

After doing all this, the uninvited guest who broke into the scene turned into a blood light with satisfaction and fled, disappearing in the rich blood color.

Little did she know that her actions were seen by a white owl squatting on the treetop.

On the beams of the venue, a certain flickering rune quietly extinguished the residual light.

At this moment, Athena, who was wrapped in a bath towel and chatting with her bestie by the bathtub, paused for a moment, then spoke again, revealing a playful and expectant smile on her face;

And the drowsy groom-to-be in Hestia's mansion opened his eyes as if he had sensed something, his eyes flickered faintly, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

Sure enough, he came!

You said you took revenge because you were not invited. Even if you were invited, you would not be honest with your desire for chaos in the world, right?

Well, just treat it as an entertainment program.

There is no [surprise], it is a bit too boring for the guests.

Lorne yawned and slowly closed his sleepy eyes.

~~

In the morning, Mr. Ma, who was conscripted, came in and woke up the sleeping Lorne. The groom got up, put on a gorgeous outfit, and set out from his residence, Hestia's mansion, and came to the residence prepared for the bride, surrounded by relatives and friends.

According to the procedure, Lorne took out the prepared sticks and knocked three times at the door of the bride's house, calling for an invitation to show his sincerity and determination.

Thetis, who had already prepared everything, gently opened the door and walked out accompanied by Athena and Artemis.

Seeing the two bridesmaids on the left and right, Lorne's eyelids jumped, and the unforgettable two days and one night seemed to appear in front of him...

Madam, you should break up with these two besties in the future. I really don't feel bad about using your car. I just stand up and pedal!

While Luo En was secretly complaining in his heart, he looked at his wife who was about to marry him, and there was a touch of surprise in his eyes.

Today, Thetis wore a white long dress with golden patterns embroidered on the skirt, and a crown made of grape leaves on her head. In her hands, she held the wheat ears that symbolized vitality and abundance, reminding her of future happiness and prosperity.

Her dignified and elegant temperament made her feel gentle as a wife.

Feeling the slightly hot gaze, Thetis blushed and reminded in a low voice.

"How long do you plan to see it? It's time."

Luo En, who was a little absent-minded, reacted, smiled apologetically, and quickly gathered his thoughts, took Thetis's hand, and walked side by side with her to the wedding scene.

The two bridesmaids who were left behind looked at the newlyweds leaning on each other in front of them, and they were a little jealous.

Forget it, let's leave it to her today, anyway, we have already tasted it for two days and one night before.

The groom is very smooth...

Athena and Artemis thought about it, smiled playfully, and started to follow.

~~

Usually, the bride and groom will hold a wedding ceremony in an ancient local temple. In front of the temple, the priest or the priest will pray for them, praying for the gods to bless and bless their happy marriage. Afterwards, the newlyweds will give each other a token of marriage, symbolizing eternal commitment and common responsibility.

But since Loen and Thetis are both gods, the real gods are waiting at the open wedding site, and there is really no need to worship several statues in the temple.

Therefore, the two skipped this link directly, and surrounded by relatives and friends, stepped on the petals on the ground and came to the wedding site arranged in front of the cliff.

Here is the blue Aegean Sea on one side and the towering Ares Mountain on the other side. At the same time, you can overlook the entire Acropolis of Athens, with a wide view and beautiful scenery.

Lorne and Thetis held hands and crossed a rope at the end of the marble steps, and officially entered the door of the wedding venue.

The rope symbolized that they entered a new stage of life and started a new journey. It also meant that the couple would work together to overcome difficulties in their future lives.

At this time, it was also the time for guests to present gifts to the newlyweds, which symbolized the guests' blessing and support for their newlywed life. The gifts could be gold, silver, jewelry, textiles, or items that symbolize happiness and wealth, and there were no specific requirements.

Hephaestus, the straightforward craftsman god, was the first to come on stage and present his carefully prepared gifts.

It was a shield, heavy, huge, and finely decorated. A three-layered ring rose around the edge of the shield, shining brightly, against the pure silver strap.

The shield had five layers, and a group of beautiful floating scenes were cast on the wide surface, which poured out his skills and ingenuity.

He cast the earth, the sky, the ocean, the tireless sun, and the full and round moon. The numerous stars are like garlands that add color to the sky.

In addition, there are two prosperous cities on the shield, which are exquisite.

One shows a scene of marriage and celebration. Relatives and friends are leading the bride out of the boudoir and walking along the city streets, holding dazzling torches and singing the tune of the newlyweds. The three Graces are swaying and dancing happily, and the sound of the harp of the nine Muses rises and falls one after another; the gods and mortals present cast their eyes of surprise and blessing, which corresponds to the scene in Athens at this moment.

The other city is like an orchard occupied by vines. The relief on the shield is made of gold as fruits, showing a deep purple-blue color, and the creeping branches and vines are attached to the silver poles. The boundless thunderstorm shrouds the sky above the city, the gods roar, the stars fall, showing the breath of doomsday.

But this city covered with vines enjoys peace. People walk out of their respective shelters and pick grapes. Groups of girls and boys, with the innocence of youth, carried away ripe and sweet fruits in wicker baskets and drank wine; among them, a young man plucked a clear harp, played a charming tune, and sang the long poem in the [Sacred Word] with an expressive voice, which sounded beautiful and melodious; everyone followed suit, sang and shouted, took brisk dance steps, and stepped out in a neat rhythm.

Needless to say, this city, Lorne also guessed that it was the city of Thebes he saved during the war of gods.

And finally, the majestic water of the Oceanus Sea rushed on the edge of the indestructible shield. The outermost lines representing the chaos mass were looming, covering the entire shield and the entire miniature [world] on the shield.

Looking at this exquisite shield with a strong divine atmosphere, Lorne asked subconsciously.

"What is this?"

The craftsman god Hephaestus smiled heartily and answered proudly.

"Dionysus Cosmos. Of course, you can also call it the "little world surrounding the sky"."
