Reversing Greek Mythology

"goddess……"

Seeing that the girl in the river had a pair of beautiful golden eyes, Luo Yin immediately understood that her identity was Circe, the goddess of magic and potions who lived on the island of Aeaea.

Because children with shining golden eyes are a unique feature of the descendants of the sun god Helios.

Circe wore a white robe soaked by the river water, and the golden belt around her waist highlighted the slenderness of her waist.

She looked at the river in front of her with an expressionless face and numb eyes, holding the river water in her hands to wash her beautiful long white-blond hair.

The dazzling light that shone on Luo Yin's face just now was the sunlight reflected from Circe's long platinum hair.

Seeing Circe walking out of the river and returning to the palace after washing her hair, Luo Yin hesitated to visit the goddess because Circe was not a friendly goddess who welcomed guests.

"Even Ares, the God of War, and Hephaestus, the God of Fire, were defeated by me. Circe's power is weaker than theirs. There is no need for me to be so cautious."

After holding the divine spear in his right hand, Luo Yin pulled out a wild grass with white flowers from the ground, and then strode towards Circe's palace.

The courtyard of Circe's palace was full of greenery, with ferocious beasts such as lions and wild wolves and herbivores such as elk and rabbits running freely in the palace courtyard.

Miraculously, the lions and wild wolves were very docile and did not attack the elk and rabbits in the yard, nor did they attack Luo Yin who broke into the palace.

Walking into the palace through the courtyard, Luo Yin was surprised to see Circe preparing sweet wine and cakes on the table.

Circe is not only the goddess of magic and potions, but also the goddess of prophecy.

He couldn't hide the fact that he came to Aie Island from her, but it was a normal thing.

Gululu——

Perhaps because of the smell of pastries, Luo Yin's stomach suddenly made a hungry growl.

Seeing that Circe was not interested in talking to him, Luo Yin walked over directly and enjoyed the pastries and sweet wine on the table.

When Luo Yin ate half of the cake, Circe suddenly said in a cold voice.

"There is a magic potion I made in the pastries and liqueur. After you eat it, leave my island immediately. If you refuse to leave, I will use a spell to make the magic potion in your body take effect and turn you into a beast. ”

Luo Yin immediately used his left hand to show the black root grass in his hand.

"What does it mean?"

Circe looked at Luo Yin in surprise and confusion and said.

"Are you so stupid that you think that a random weed you pulled out on the island can break my potion and magic?"

Blackroot's threat didn't work, Luo Yin raised the divine spear in his right hand again.

Circe couldn't help but smile and said.

"What a stupid human being, you don't know that humans can't harm the body of a god."

His threat was regarded as a joke by Circe, Luo Yin spat out the cake and said with a dissatisfied expression.

"Goddess Circe, you are so unfair! When Odysseus comes to your palace, he will use a weed pulled out by Hermes to resist your magic and potions, just like me. , and you will not laugh at Odysseus' stupidity when he threatens to harm you with human weapons."

"you--"

Hearing Luo Yin's words, Circe's eyes widened in surprise, and then she said with a helpless smile.

"Hermes is the messenger of Zeus. He never represents himself, but Zeus, the god king of Olympus. Hermes, on behalf of Zeus, said that a weed can break my magic and potions. Can Odysseus, a human, threaten me - can I resist the will of Zeus? Do you know Odysseus' future fate? Did you get prophecies from other gods - You came to the island of Aeaea. It was indeed not an accident, but was sent here by other gods.”

"I'm hunting Odysseus, but I don't have a boat right now. Goddess Circe! I want you to provide me with a boat and use your prophetic powers to tell me where Odysseus is. I'll kill Odysseus." After Decius, you too will be spared the humiliation of the Olympians."

"I reject!"

Circe turned her back to Luo Yin and said.

"Odysseus is favored by Pallas Athena. You are stupid enough to be an enemy of Odysseus. I don't want to be implicated by you. Get out of my palace quickly, otherwise, I will turn you into a pig. Raised in a pig pen."

Facing Circe's threat, Luo Yin said with a joking smile.

"Can you lie only when your back is turned to me? I know there is no magic potion in the sweet wine and cakes, and you will not use magic to turn me into a beast. Because you tame the beasts so that they will not attack human beings." goddess."

Luo Yin once thought that the beasts on Aeaea might be humans turned into beasts by Circe's potion.

But this is obviously unreasonable.

In the story of Yin Asong's capture of the Golden Fleece, Yin Asong and Medea came to the island of Aeaea to seek help from Circe.

Even before Circe recognized Medea as her niece, she mercifully helped them and helped them offer sacrifices to Zeus.

Odysseus came to the island of Aeaea and hunted a stag, which also proved that the beast on the island of Aeaea could never be a human being transformed by Circe's potion.

Because the beasts on Aeaea are humans transformed by potions, Odysseus will not only commit murder, but also commit cannibalism, which the gods will never tolerate.

"The island of Aea is inhabited by terrifying witches who can use potions and magic to turn humans into beasts - this is just a rumor you spread deliberately because you don't want to be disturbed!"

After Luo Yin finished speaking, Circe's body trembled, and then she turned back to look at Luo Yin and said.

"Even if I'm not as evil as the rumors say, I won't help you."

"you--"

Luo Yin frowned dissatisfied and said.

"I didn't want to hurt you! Since you refuse to help me, I will use force to make you surrender."

After saying that, Luo Yin raised his divine spear and stabbed Circe.

Just before the spear blade pierced Circe's shoulder, Circe's body suddenly disappeared from the place.

Immediately afterwards, Circe's voice sounded behind Luo Yin.

"The human body is more fragile than the divine body of gods! Although you just wanted to stab me in the shoulder, I attacked you with the same force. Do you think you will die?"

After saying that, Circe's right index finger pressed Luo Yin's neck from behind.

A searing divine power surged into Luo Yin's body. Luo Yin's eyes immediately widened, and desperate thoughts surged into his heart.

But then, Luo Yin was surprised to find that Circe's divine power not only did not cause harm to his body, but was also absorbed by his body.

“This feeling is—brother!”

Circe also screamed happily, and then hugged Luo Yin's body from behind.

Looking down and seeing Circe's hands tightly hugging his waist, Luo Yin said with confusion.

"Circe, what do you mean?"

"Brother, are you angry? It's all because I didn't recognize my brother, so I did something stupid to hurt you."

"What I want to say is... you must have recognized the wrong person. I can't be your brother."

After explaining, Luo Yin took Circe's hands away from her waist and turned to face her.

"elder brother--"

Circe immediately threw herself into Luo Yin's arms and begged.

"I really didn't recognize my brother, please forgive me, brother!"

"Then will you now provide me with a ship and use your prophecy to tell me where Odysseus is?"

"Yeah! As long as it's my brother's request, I will satisfy it."

Hearing Circe's answer, Luo Yin frowned and said.

"Circe, although I don't know why you think of me as your brother, I must tell you that I am really not your brother."
