Narcissus Hymn of Greek Mythology

Chapter 42 The 25th Contest

"I declare that the No.20 Fifth Olympus Gods Competition begins!" Hermes spoke on behalf of Zeus as the narrator.

The Twelve Main Temples, the Temple of the Kitchen God, the Temple of the Saturnalia, and the Temple of Hermes' Wisdom abstained early. No one from the Kitchen God's side came, and only the mother and daughter of the Saturnalia helped her to watch the ceremony, and Hermes knew that he would never win , Don’t join in the fun, just concentrate on being one of your own commentators and referees.

Each of the nine temples has its own seats, and the gods of each department have a protective divine light, either shining all over the place, or rolling with thunder, if it is not for the blood of war or the light of waves.

Apollo and Narcissus sat in front of the Temple of Light, and Apollo asked Narcissus in a low voice: "During this time, you have been very close to Cupid."

"Well, I gave her an idea. Now that Clymene has come out, I really can't offend all the gods."

Enemies, this is also divided into levels.The lowest level is old and dead, which is a white alarm.

The next level is bad words, yellow alert, just bickering, don't worry about them directly doing it.

But the Red Alert is the enemy of life and death. On Narcissus's side, there are only Clymene and Prometheus besides Rhea.

Therefore, Narcissus deliberately made friends with Hera and Eros in order to reduce their resentment and turn the yellow alert into white. Of course it would be better if he could get himself an ally.

"According to your temper, can you not ask for something?"

Narcissus remained silent, so he would not tell Apollo that he deliberately made the God of Love swear for Apollo, not allowing the power of the God of Love to be exerted on the gods of the Temple of Light.

If Apollo is plotted by the god of love in the future and makes a lot of ugly appearances, all the gods of light will be ashamed.So I am doing this for the entire temple, not for this guy on purpose, Narcissus thought silently in his heart.

"The nine main gods, please extract it!" Hermes held a treasure chest and put it in front of Zeus.

Today's competitions are becoming more and more perfect each time. The main gods did not randomly choose the items they are good at when they set the questions. Instead, the gods selected hundreds of items and put them in this treasure box, and then each participating god drew one. luck.

Zeus drew the first question—mathematics, and then handed the treasure chest to Hera.

Hera drew—weaved, and then gave to Apollo.

Apollo got the music, and then gave it to the moon god Artemis...

After the last nine main gods were all drawn, nine more beams of light appeared on the field, with the topics for this time written on them: mathematics, weaving, music, bow and arrow, fighting, track and field, swimming, fencing, and football.

With a smile on his face, Narcissus talked to Apollo: "It seems that we have a good chance of winning again this time."

Mathematics may be due to cultural differences between the East and the West.In this world of Chaos, there is a strong focus on mathematics, and even one of the nine muses is a goddess who specializes in mathematical calculations.However, every gain is bound to be a loss. This world rarely uses conspiracies and tricks, which makes Narcissus, who has learned the art of vertical and horizontal skills in his previous life, quite emotional, and he will never find a friend like him good opponent.

At the beginning, he and his friends were pondering the ancient vertical and horizontal techniques. Holding Go, one called himself "vertical" and the other called himself "horizontal". The two jointly founded a small company.

It's a pity that I came to this world unknowingly, but I don't know how he is doing.When the two traveled together in Greece, only I disappeared, so he wouldn't be regarded as a suspect, right?

Speaking of which, the beneficiary of one of my insurance policies is his name, and he even has a motive.

Forget it, how can he settle it according to his ability?

And my parents, he should help take care of them.And my equity and so on are all left to him, the company should be fine.

The long memory was recalled by Narcissus, Apollo saw Narcissus pat him on the shoulder blankly: "What?"

"It's okay." Narcissus cheered up and said, "We have both male and female gods in the Temple of Light, and the development of the dependents is more comprehensive than other temples. They should be champions this time, right?"

This time, the reward of the Temple of Champions is a priesthood, which is the priesthood of victory promised by Hera to Narcissus.Zeus did not agree to directly give the priesthood to Narcissus, so this competition needs to be used as a ceremony.

If Narcissus wins, coupled with the previous record of the Temple of Light, he deserves the priesthood of victory.But if it fails, Hera's promise to Narcissus can also be written off, after all, the opportunity was given, right?

"The first term, math begins!" Hermes clapped his hands, and 27 humans walked into the arena, three people from each temple.

After many periods of competition, everyone has a tacit understanding, no longer use any beasts, but deliberately cultivate humans.They are also human beings, and the innate gap is not that big. It all depends on the cultivation of their own master god, so that they can see the power of the master god.

Narcissus smiled, with him and Nine Muses helping to teach, even Athena's family members couldn't stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

A large number of question papers were taken out by Hermes, and the time limit was one hour to calculate the total number of correct answers for each temple.

"Okay, in this hour's time, let's continue with the second trial."

Weaving, which is the specialty of many goddesses, Hera as the patron saint of women, Athena as the goddess of craftsmanship, and the artistic gifts of the muses, every battle in the past is the struggle of their three temples.

But this time, Aphrodite, the god of love, spent all her money and specially recruited the most outstanding female worker from the mortal world as a temporary entourage, promising to give her the most perfect love, and her husband would never betray her. Let her bring herself victory.

Hermes used a mask to protect the nine contestants, and then started the third competition - music.

No need to ask, no one can pose a threat to the Temple of Light in terms of music. Every music project in the past has been won by the Temple of Light.However, it is still necessary to compare. Nine contestants stepped forward to play to the gods one by one with musical instruments, and then let the goddess of justice, Demeter, and Hades, the king of guests, evaluate on the judge's seat.

Needless to say, the victory of course went to the Temple of Light.Temple of Light No.1 gets five points, Temple of Wisdom No.2 gets two points, and No.3 is actually the Temple of Eros, gets one point.

"The God of Cupid paid a lot of money this time!" The Moon Goddess and the Goddess of Wisdom said with a smile, "Look at her dependents, none of them were properly trained by her."

"Have you heard about her bet with the Empress?" Athena said disdainfully, "If you don't work hard at ordinary times, what's the use of recruiting dependents at this time?"

At this moment, the results of the first two items came out.

For the math problem, the three people from the Temple of War didn't even finish one paper, while the Temple of Light and the Temple of Wisdom made twelve papers respectively.The gap between a top student and a scumbag is judged.

In the end, Apollo and Athena checked the answers in person, and Athena frowned. There was a gap between her family and Apollo's family by one question.And this question is just a decimal point wrong, what a pity.These two took the first and second away, and No.3 was taken by Zeus' family.

Ten points for the Temple of Light, four points for the Temple of Wisdom, one point for the Temple of Love, and one point for the Temple of the King of God.

"Okay! At present, the Temple of Light is far ahead, let's take a look at weaving!" Hermes waved his scepter, and the nine-sided woven fabric was suspended in the air, asking the three judges to score.

In the past, it was a struggle between the three major temples, and the Temple of Cupid was just watching from the sidelines, so Cupid had the term vase.She doesn't even know the female skills of weaving, she just looks good with a face.

But this time, Venus finally felt proud.With the help of the most outstanding female worker of mankind, she actually overwhelmed the three major temples and won a No.1.

Hera gritted her teeth and glared at Cupid.The Temple of Light was third, and the Temple of Wisdom was second, but she was slipped down and didn't even enter the top three, and even now she doesn't have a share.And Eros has scored six points!

"Eleven points for the Temple of Light, six points for the Temple of Wisdom, six points for the Temple of Love, and one point for the Temple of the King of God." After Hermes calculated, he began the fourth competition - the bow and arrow.

Artemis breathed a sigh of relief, it was no longer a cultural competition.Bows and arrows, although Apollo is regarded as the god of bows and arrows, Artemis is confident that his followers are not inferior to those male warriors of Apollo.

This is the home field of the Sun Moon God, and the God of Love and the Queen of Heaven are very wise not to lose face.

"Thirteen points for the Temple of Light, six points for the Temple of Wisdom, six points for the Temple of Love, five points for the Temple of the Moon, one point for the Temple of the God King, and one point for the Temple of the God of War."

After four games, Hera was really in a hurry. According to this situation, wouldn't Cupid really win.At this moment, the female worker who helped Eros win suddenly fell into Hera's eyes. Seeing Zeus looking at the most outstanding female worker with great interest, Hera's jealousy arose again.Does Zeus want to have another affair?

After the competition, Hera found an excuse and turned the female worker into a female spider and asked her to weave spider webs forever.

And Eros said that he would give her a husband who would never betray, so he cast a spell to make her eat her husband after every copulation, which is the origin of the black widow.

The fifth match was fighting, and Hera won the championship with a smile on her face.She made the best preparations for her fighter, and she didn't hesitate to use all kinds of magic medicines, directly creating a supernatural warrior.

"Sure enough, it's still worth seeing this time." Apollo smiled, seeing that Ares of the Temple of War God only got No.2, he felt a little more proud.Anyway, he couldn't get the ranking, and there were few fighters in the Temple of Light, so he was very happy because of Ares' face.And No.3 falls in the Palace of the King of Gods.

Thirteen points for the Temple of Light, six points for the Temple of Wisdom, six points for the Temple of Love, five points for the Temple of the Moon, two points for the Temple of the King of God, three points for the Temple of War, and five points for the Temple of Marriage.

The sixth track and field match was another unexpected competition. No.1 Fire Temple!

That's right, it's the temple of the lame god!Apollo and the others couldn't help but look at the Vulcan in the corner.Most of Vulcan's family members are deaf-mute and disabled people, and it was beyond everyone's expectation to be able to win the championship this time.

No.2 War God Hall, No.3 God King Hall.

The seventh swim, No.1 Neptune Hall, No.2 Moon Temple, No.3 Bright Temple.

In this way, fourteen points for the Temple of Light, six points for the Temple of Wisdom, six points for the Temple of Love, six points for the Temple of the Moon, three points for the Temple of the King of Gods, four points for the Temple of War God, five points for the Temple of Marriage, five points for the Temple of Fire, and five points for the Temple of Neptune.

In the final eighth match, a fighter from the Palace of the Gods suddenly asked Zeus: "Your Majesty, I don't need the so-called battle armor for this match. I just hope to get a strand of hair from the God of Dawn."

Following the fighter's words, Apollo suddenly got up, and the divine power pressed down on this ignorant swordsman.

Hair, this is something that people who are not close to each other should not touch, and begging for a strand of hair can be said to be naked (naked) courtship.
