Chapter 274 The grand event at the foot of Mount Olympus
Eros thought that Athena’s words were still far away from him.
But he did not expect that just two days later, the opportunity to go to Mount Olympus would already come to him.
"King of Athens, a demigod born from the earth, I am here to welcome you to the feet of the gods by order of the god king Zeus."
A rainbow appeared in the sky, As the messenger of the gods, the rainbow goddess Iris floated in with her long translucent iridescent hair.
She is pretty and cool, but a little too energetic.
It reminded Eros of the school dance that year when he was 16. Standing like a gangster, the will-o'-the-wisp girl walked by with her eye-catching long hair swinging around.
Of course, it’s just a joke.
Compared to artificially rendered hair color, the long hair of Rainbow Goddess Iris shines in the sun like a real flying rainbow.
She is the messenger of the gods, different from Hermes.
Generally, Hermes represents Zeus himself, while she represents the entire Olympus gods.
It is basically the difference between internal ministers and foreign ministers, and the occasions and responsibilities are also different.
"Dear envoy of the gods, can I bring a few more people?"
Cecrops did not ask what he was doing. The gods had already planned to hold a grand gathering. Spread throughout the world.
The goddess, who was as beautiful as a rainbow, swept her eyes across Cecrops, fixed on Eros, and showed a bright smile.
"Originally it's not possible, but you have a special situation here, so it doesn't hurt to add one more person."
With a wave of his hand, Iris connected Eros and Cecrops to the Hongqiao. people.
"There shouldn't be anything else to prepare, right? I'm going to take you straight away."
Eros looked at the other party's appearance of clearly recognizing him, and felt a little emotional.
Who on Mount Olympus does not know Eros?
Speaking of which, since it is a grand event held by the gods, will Hera also appear?
At that time, you shouldn’t do anything in front of so many gods, right?
Eros was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, but the colorful rainbow bridge had already taken him flying towards the horizon.
The rainbow enveloping the two of them quickly shuttled through countless mountains and rivers, flying towards the towering mountains in the distance.
The mountain range is connected to the clouds, covered with white snow. The part submerged in the clouds exudes a faint divine light, but is covered by the clouds.
Under the clouds is the sacred mountain that belongs to the human world, Mount Olympus.
And submerged in the clouds, emitting light, is Olympus, the residence of the gods, known as the "Place of Light."
The boundary between gods and mortals is only behind a thin layer of clouds, covering the figures of the gods, leaving room for people's imagination.
At the foot of this sacred mountain, there is a small city-state that is not too big, called the Holy Land of Altis.
This is the foot of the gods. People living here can often see the divine light emanating from the sacred mountain that submerges into the sky.
Therefore, their reverence and belief in the gods are much deeper than those in other places.
The Rainbow Bridge gradually lowered its height. As it passed over Altis, Eros could still hear countless prayers.
Countless incense curls up, as if the entire city-state is located in an illusion that seems both real and illusory.
In the center of the city-state, the gods have drawn out a huge circular square with great power, which seems to be larger than the entire city-state.
The Hongqiao fell into the square, and before it dispersed, many priests gathered around it.
"Distinguished guests from foreign lands, guests of the gods, please allow us to offer you our most sincere blessings and welcome."
This city-state is indeed filled with an atmosphere that Eros has never seen before. Other city-states must have more faith. The priests saluted Eros and Cecrops respectfully, while the Rainbow Goddess put them down and flew away immediately.
"Please come with us to rest first. The grand gathering of the gods will not be held until all the guests have arrived."
"Before that, Please take a rest in the temple we built and prepare for the upcoming event.”
This city-state is simply a Greek version of the Pantheon.
They built almost all the statues of gods whose names could be recorded and enshrined them in the magnificent temple.
It’s just that when Eros looked at those statues, it couldn’t be said that they were similar, it could only be said that they had basically nothing to do with him.
Some of them even made Eros want to laugh. For example, the size of the statue of Poseidon in some aspects may be a little bigger than herself.
It would be very interesting to make fun of her in front of Poseidon.
"Please take a rest here, do you still need help?"
The two were brought to the quiet room in the temple, and the leading priestess said some ambiguous words.
Her eyes couldn't help but drift towards Eros. Even though she had received many demigod talents during this period, her eyesight gradually became cunning.
But Eros's beauty is so dazzling, as dazzling as the gods, it is really hard not to think about it.
Even if the gods in the sky came down to sleep with her at this moment, she would rather choose the person in front of her.
Unfortunately, neither of these is possible.
"No, I don't need to rest yet. It's okay to walk around, right?"
Eros showed a smile, which immediately made the priest dizzy, and responded in a daze. down.
When she woke up, Eros had disappeared, which made her secretly regretful.
Why were you convinced so easily? Just hearing Eros speak, she subconsciously felt a sense of recognition in her heart, and she couldn't think of rejecting him at all.
Any human being will feel this way when facing Eros.
Only better people can lessen the impact of this feeling.
Eros walked around this magnificent Pantheon casually. He was a restless person, so he naturally had to wander around when he came to a new place.
In fact, he wanted to go to Mount Olympus to see if this sacred mountain could really be climbed.
It’s just that he temporarily felt that the statues in the Pantheon were quite interesting, so he stayed to take a closer look.
After all, looking at these statues that have nothing to do with me, with half-naked upper bodies and big beards, there is indeed a strange sense of contrast.
I don’t know if Zeus and the others will feel embarrassed. After all, although it is an image imagined by people, it still represents them.
I looked at the statues in the Pantheon one by one, admiring the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancient Greeks.
Under the statue of Zeus, the most magnificent and the center of the temples, Eros looked up.
The towering marble statue shaped the ancient Greeks' imagination of this god-king, who believed that he was a powerful and sturdy god-king with lightning in his hand.
Under the statue of Zeus, there is a young man who is dressed incompatible with Greece, kneeling down and praying devoutly.
Come on, guess who this is?
