Chapter 164 Greek-style parenting, this is not a scumbag
Oh no, Zeus is deliberately sending a wet nurse this time.
After hearing what Eros said, Amalthea completely let down all her guard.
She completely regarded Eros as the incarnation of Zeus, or some being with one mind.
If at first she had a little doubt about Zeus's idea of attaching spirits to Eros and Europa.
But after Eros was possessed by Zeus just now, she no longer had any doubts.
Eros just wanted to say this.
Zeus, you have really hurt me!
The tolerant and doting mother sheep began to guide Eros step by step with a force that could not be refused.
Obviously I don’t understand very well, but I still have to hold back my shyness and embarrassment and pretend to understand very well. It’s great!
At first, Europa refused, but after Amalthea smeared her whole body with the special ointment.
She was speechless.
When the ointment is applied to the body, it feels cool at first, but then quickly begins to feel hot.
It was as if the heat spread from the skin to the depths of the body, leaving Europa completely unable to say any words of rejection.
“Yes, that’s right, that’s it.”
Amalthea, with a crimson complexion, helped Eros straighten his position and lay on Eros' back.
Then he slowly used his own weight to press towards Eros, pushing Eros forward.
Who can bear this kind of thing? Who can bear it? ah? !
Anyway, Eros can't stand this kind of gentle and considerate guidance and help. Eros can't stand it at all.
“It’s over again? Well, it’s still early, can we continue?”
Amalthea, who was caring for Eros carefully, leaned down and blew softly.
Eros wanted to say that there was no need, but the next moment he swallowed the words back.
"Are you lacking energy? Do you want to drink two sips of goat milk to replenish it?"
I took off my gauze skirt, which was probably due to sweating due to the suffocating heat, or was soaked by something else. Eros's eyes were a little dull.
Can this be refused?
Absolutely not!
So Eros nodded decisively and sipped the goat's milk that nurtured Zeus.
And this goat's milk indeed has miraculous effects, allowing Eros to quickly regain his strength and become full of energy and energy.
This goat's milk is sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not smelly, and is very delicious.
And drinking it has miraculous effects.
With it, Eros felt like he could fight another three hundred rounds.
It’s just that Europa can’t hold on anymore. She is just a mortal and not as endurance as a goddess.
In addition, it was still the first time I tasted it, and it was already unbearable.
“This”
Eros was not so proud that he ignored Europa’s body, so he could only turn his head and look at Amalthea.
After Zeus's words and deeds, he also learned some ways to deal with Amalthea.
With a somewhat pitiful and helpless look on her face, Amalthea was so stimulated that her maternal instincts surged, and her rationality dropped to almost zero.
"Good boy, good boy, it's okay, don't worry."
He stretched out his hand and hugged Eros into his arms. I wonder if it was Eros's illusion.
The horns on Amalthea's head became more and more twisted, and her pupils kept changing shapes.
But don’t care about details like this! rush!
Zeus has done so much for himself, how could Eros waste her kindness?
I must show my filial piety to this gentle and lovely sheep mother!
This filial piety means being filial for more than seven days and seven nights.
Europa rejoined several times in the middle, but was always vulnerable and retreated early.
Moreover, Eros also noticed Zeus' gaze several times.
Because she always appears at strange times, pushing Eros intentionally or unintentionally.
TMD Zeus, do you like pushing so much? !
In short, Eros gives a huge thumbs up to this trip to Crete.
The hometown of Zeus is really a good taste.
Of course, in the end, Eros did not forget about business.
Use the power of [Reproductive] to ensure that Europa is indeed pregnant with a child.
It’s just that when doing things, Eros’s mood was a little complicated.
After being around for so long, this is the first time he has done such a thing.
Feeling the faint breath of life coming from Europa's belly, Eros also fell into deep thought during the sage's time.
First of all, there must be a child, otherwise Ananke would probably risk his life with Eros.
A sea queen with no legend has so many obstacles.
If Eros runs away with Europa, the Minoan civilization, an important part of Greece, will disappear directly.
One can imagine how Ananke, the goddess of destiny, would target Eros.
So giving birth to a child is not a big deal. It’s just the first time Eros has done this and his mentality is a little complicated.
The creation of human beings was fine before. Athena rubbed some mud and the human beings came out.
But this time, it is a new life that will truly be born from the belly of Europa.
“Are you thinking about the child?”
I don’t know when, Amalthea sat up in a silk gauze skirt, lying on her stomach On the shoulders of Eros. "So be it."
Eros said vaguely.
“I don’t know how long it will take for the baby to be born.”
If possible, Eros would still like to wait for his first child to be born on the island of Crete.
But there is a high probability that there is no such time.
"Well, I can't say for sure. Generally, a child of a god will be born in just an instant, but for humans, it takes a long time."
"And in your case, I don't know how long it will take."
In addition to the weak breath of life, there is also the divine breath of Zeus.
So this child will be born as a demigod, the son of Zeus.
The Greek definition of demigods does not just mean the children of gods and mortal things.
It more refers to an existence that has certain divine power and talent but does not have immortal divinity.
For example, Cecrops was a natural demigod who was born in the earth without a father or mother.
As for the child of Europa and Eros, the son of Zeus, Almathea is not sure how long it will take.
Looking at Eros who looked a little worried, Amalthea couldn't help but feel maternal and hugged Eros.
She used the warmth of her own heart to try to heal Eros.
“Why are you showing this expression? Aren’t children worthy of being happy?”
Why didn't Eros seem so happy when he saw the newborn child?
“Well, I’m a little happy, but I can’t help but worry.”
When he thought of Europa giving birth to Minos, Eros couldn’t help but think of Minos. Queen Pasiphae.
Then I thought that Pasiphae was cursed by Poseidon, fell in love with a cow, and gave birth to the minotaur Minotaur.
Does Eros care about this kind of thing or not?
It’s really worrying, something like a child.
For a scumbag, nothing scares him more than children.
Eros’s ability to hold on is entirely supported by his strong psychological quality and charm.
“You worry too much~”
Amalthea pressed Eros’ forehead thoughtfully and enlightened him.
"Sooner or later, children have to leave their parents."
"Everyone has his own destiny and future. This is not something that parents can influence and control."
"You and Zeus are one, with eternal and infinite life."
"But your child will not, she will gradually run towards death."
>"Whether or not you can defeat death is also everyone's own destiny. That is not something you can influence."
"So as a parent, you only need to look at your children and bless them whether they are alive or dead."
"Even if you enter the underworld, it is the destination."
With The difference between the inertial sense of responsibility in Eros's heart and the humanistic thought is that this is Greece, the world of gods.
In the eyes of the gods, life and death are not the gap that hinders them. The blissful land in the underworld will accept those who are enough to enter there.
Amalthea aims to teach Eros that he does not need to worry about children.
It is enough to just watch and watch the other person's life and feel gratified for the other person's achievements.
To put it mildly, this is an enlightened thinking, and there is no need to be sad even when a child dies.
To put it bluntly, isn’t this a complete scumbag?
Eros realized clearly that he was still too upright and responsible!
Think about it carefully, how many biological parents can take care of children in Greek mythology?
Zeus only cares about giving birth and not raising children, although now it seems that he is mostly peeping in secret.
This kind of free and easy, laissez-faire approach is simply scum in Eros’s perception.
But in the eyes of Greece, especially the gods, this was nothing.
Rather than extending the lives of their children, they want to see what great achievements their children can achieve.
In this way, even if you die, you can still have a blissful land waiting for your children.
On the other hand, no matter how hard you try, no matter how many disasters you help your children survive, death will inevitably happen to humans or demigods.
It doesn’t matter if you die early or late. If you die in an unknown place with no notable deeds, you may not be able to enter the Paradise.
Eros understood immediately.
What is this? This is a matter of taking care of the next step and avoiding a hundred years of detours!
Is it useful to live longer? It's no use unless you can do something big.
If something big enough happens, they can even ascend to the sky and be placed in a constellation by Zeus. The most outstanding ones, like Hercules, can be directly conferred as gods.
Even if it is not that big, there is a paradise waiting for you, with endless mead and battles.
Looking at it this way, Zeus’s behavior of not raising these children is not a scumbag.
Trials and tribulations are all prepared. When the time is right, Zeus will send you equipment and opportunities to do something big.
A God who is so loving and so thoughtful in paving the way for his children, even at the expense of being misunderstood.
Eros has understood everything, and he must also imitate Zeus's style!
He really has nothing to worry about. Children who can become his Eros will definitely be able to do great things.
The early hardships and tests are not a problem. I believe that after death, you will naturally understand Eros’s painstaking efforts.
This is not a scumbag who abandons his children, this is a long-term perspective.
As for Minos, considering many reasons, after all, he will go to the underworld to be a judge, which is too much.
