To be king [Greek mythology]

Even the colors are just different levels of depth, the only big difference is the carvings on the walls of the temple.

The temple where Hera lived was not far from the Temple of Hades. On the wall of the temple next to it was carved a long-haired goddess with a compassionate face standing on a platform, holding a balance in her hand, looking down at the kneeling souls below the platform.

"That's Themis, the goddess of justice," the maid explained.

"Themis is in the Underworld?" Hera was a little surprised. Of course she knew who Themis was. She used to be the wife of Zeus, but Themis' cold appearance made the itchy Zeus get tired of it after playing with it. , and Themis couldn't bear Zeus' character, so she divorced Zeus so freely.

What happened after that, Hera didn't pay attention to it.

She worried that no one would worry about Themis.

Will Lady Justice eat Zeus's rotten weed of turning back?

This is the funniest story in the world.

"Yes, the Lady Justice has helped govern the Underworld for tens of thousands of years." The maid replied respectfully.

Hera paused as she stepped into the temple.

The footsteps of the maid stopped at the same time.

"Then go see Themis." Hera said.

The maid didn't have any objection, she just turned her feet and walked towards the field of truth.

The Field of Truth is a gray plain. The boat of the Ferryman of the Styx crossed the painful and mournful river, and passed through a piece of fiery red flowers that were tossed and cared for by the god of death. The destination is barren and empty. plain.

The Judgment Seat stands at the fork in the plain.

Themis meticulously weighed the good and evil of the souls of the dead, while the ugly Furies flogged the souls of the villains. Minos was not affected by the screaming souls beside him, and pronounced the results of the souls in front of him, and then Seeking to look at Themis beside him.

Themis nodded, her indifferent gaze softened slightly.

Hera quietly stood aside and looked at it for a while, feeling that Themis liked the boy sitting next to her on the main seat very much.

Not between a man and a woman, but the same soft emotion as when she was looking at her newborn children.

Hera knew that the children of Themis were kept by Zeus. After she divorced Zeus, she left Olympus alone, and has not returned to Olympus for so many years.

The work of Hades is notoriously onerous.

Even if Themis wanted to visit Mount Olympus, he might not be able to find the time.

Hera looked at the boy next to Themis, and was surprised to find that the boy was a living creature.

There is still a ball at his feet... Hera looked at the ball with some doubts.

It should be a mongoose, but it is definitely not an ordinary mongoose. No mongoose can completely coincide with the breath of the underworld.

The meerkats with their eyes closed were sensitive to Hera's probing gaze. They opened their eyes, looked at Hera for a while, sniffed with their little noses, then stood up suddenly, and hissed in Hera's direction. One sound.

Minos leaned over and hugged the mongoose to his lap, followed its gaze, and met Hera's gaze directly.

He froze for a moment, stood up and packed his luggage.

"Dear Queen Hera."

The meerkat writhed in his arms, looking desperate to pounce on Hera.

Minos had no expression on his face, and was grabbing at its fur.

Themis glanced at Hera. There was no hostility in his eyes, but it was not very friendly. He just stood a little to the side, blocking Hera's sight of Minos.

Hera looked at Themis.

The Goddess of Justice had a cold expression of "kneeling down for nothing".

"I just came to take a look." Hera didn't remember much about Themis' attitude, firstly because this was the Underworld, she didn't have the capital to be arrogant, and secondly because she felt very close to Themis naturally.

The mongoose was still struggling crazily, and Minos could hardly hold it back with his hands.

Themis turned her head to look at the mongoose, and its gaze was fixed on Hera.The Lady Justice looked at Hera again, and said, "What's on you?"

Hera was taken aback, she thought for a while, and then pulled out a golden apple.

The meerkat screamed and bit Minos on the hand.

Minos was staring blankly at the golden apple. The meerkat's bite without warning made his hand shrink in pain. The freed meerkat rushed towards Hera like a flash of lightning, and stretched out its claws to grab the golden apple in her hand. The apple snatched it, turned around again, and climbed onto Minos' shoulder.

Minos reached out to grab the golden apple, but the mongoose dodged it nimbly.

Minos looked awkwardly at Themis and Hera who was still in a daze.

"This, who gave it to you?" Themis asked after thinking about it, seeing that the mongoose was holding the golden apple like a treasure, but refused to eat it.

Now it's Hera's turn to be embarrassed. The golden apple was originally a wedding gift from Gaia to her and Zeus. When Themis said this, it was almost like stripping her of her long-standing cover and letting her be exposed to the sun naked. .

Themis, who was very straightforward, didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her question at all.

"It's Prometheus." However, Hera had just met Hades and had a rare feeling of being taken care of, so she answered Themis' question in a good mood.

The meerkat let out a cry, and turned around on Minos' shoulder with the golden apple in its arms, leaving its butt for Hera.

Themis shook her head, "No."

Hera thought for a while and said, "There is a human beside him, who is said to be his student, whose name..."

"Is it Thurpus?!" Minos' tone fluctuated emotionally. He interrupted Hera, ignoring the impoliteness, looked at Hera expectantly, and gestured: "Black hair, a little curly, eyes Also black...is a prophet."

"En." Hera paused, "You know him?"

Minos nodded, "Sorry, just... I was rude."

Since he and Thurps met, they had never been separated for such a long time, and the longest time was only five days.

Surpus was separated from the hunting team that time, and he failed to return with the hunting team on the third day after leaving, and neither did the mongoose.

He lost a lot of hair in a hurry. In the end, Surpus was brought back by the silver wolf king. He was seriously injured and lay on the bed for two months before recovering.

Needless to say, it was the work of Radamandis.

It's just that Radamandis couldn't think of it, Thurps has too many backhands in the forest.

Thurpus could have died anywhere, but not in the forests of Crete.

"Then..." Minos pursed his lips, "Where did you see him? Do you know where he is going?"

Having said that, if Hera didn't know the relationship between Minos and Thurpus, she would have married this time in vain.

"I saw him in Olympus, and I heard that he and Prometheus decided to go to Sparta with my son Ares." She was quite happy to see what happened, and she didn't mind Minos' rudeness, and told him the news of his sweetheart.

Minos was taken aback, "Going to Sparta?"

"Yes." Hera nodded, "Ares invited him and Prometheus to Sparta, promising him to become the king of Sparta and rule Sparta."

The joy on Minos' face faded instantly.

Hera didn't know where she had poked him, she looked at Minos, and then at Themis who was also unclear.

Minos silently rubbed the mongoose that came from his arms, his eyes darting around the golden apple.

He knew that Thurps and Hercules had jointly obtained the golden apple, but Hera still owned it now.

The meerkat felt his thoughts, and hugged the golden apple tightly without letting go of its claws.

Just when Minos made up his mind to try to ask Hera for the golden apple, there was a loud commotion outside the hall.

He raised his head and looked outside the hall.

Themis glanced at it, frowning between her brows, "A creature broke in."

Chapter 61

Hercules was also quite depressed.

Although Surpus had told him that he was going to visit Netherland in the future, he never expected that he would return to the extreme west end of the earth right after the golden apple.

It's really annoying that you can't get everything done in one place at once.

Hercules bound the fainted Cerberus and threw him aside.

This was the purpose of his trip, but there was one more thing besides that.

Hermes, who was guiding him, looked at him in surprise, then at Cerberus, "Aren't you going to take Cerberus back?"

"There are other things." Hercules sighed.

—and he will deliver love letters to Thurps.

It is simply abuse.

As the son of Zeus, Hercules' demigod body is completely different from the underworld seen by Thurpus' pair of mortal eyes.

It wasn't pitch black here, but a dim barrenness.

There is no sunlight in Netherland, and there is no color except for a piece of gray and bustling undead.

Heavy, depressing, lifeless.

Suddenly stepping into this place of death from a sunny place, Hercules' heart was even more heavy.

In Netherland, the aura of living beings is as dazzling and blazing to the undead as the sun. Even Minos, who is sitting on the judgment seat, is covered by the god of death to prevent the overpowering aura of living beings from him. The anger of the undead burns the undead, and also prevents the death breath of the undead from being too strong and affecting Minos.

Unlike the complete gods who can freely restrain their breath in the underworld, Hercules, who has a false godhead, is not like a true god in the underworld.
