Sword and Magic and Taxi

For most readers, the most familiar story of Demeter is The Midas Turn of Gold. In return for the help of King Medea of ​​Phriag, Demeter gave him the ability to turn stone into gold at his request. The king became rich and wealthy until he accidentally turned his relatives and friends into gold, and also turned food and water into gold. He suffered from hunger and the loss of his relatives. He therefore prayed to the goddess to take back her power and restore everything. Demeter restored everything and allowed the king to return to his original life - this is the story.

There is a temple of Demeter on the island of Naxos. It is small and has already collapsed due to disrepair. But Diana knew that this was one of the few places where she could directly contact Demeter, and it was a phone booth she left in the world. Here, Diana did not have to enter Olympus to find the goddess, thus saving herself valuable passage.

Demeter is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, and she is also the biological sister of the god king Zeus. In terms of blood relationship, Diana is her niece, and she is considered a very close person. But rules are rules, and Diana still has to prepare sacrifices, including two cows, a male and a female, a pig, fresh fruits in season, and hives with honey. Everything else was easy to find. Diana could buy it from the homes of residents on Naxos Island. However, the hive could not be found for a while, so she used three large jars of honey instead.

The way God calls God is completely different from the way people worship God. Diana only learned about this after returning to Paradise Island and learning the sacrificial rituals from her mother. Watching the sacrifice in front of her disappear in the smoke, Diana called the name of the god in a rhythmic tone. The divine power in her body joined in, forming a bright golden light around the smoke transformed from the sacrifice.

After a while, Demeter walked out of the smoke. She was tall, solemn, and majestic, with a slight smile. Her long wavy golden hair fell on her shoulders, her wide skirt stopped at her ankles, and a pair of handmade straw sandals stepped on her feet. She held a sheaf of wheat ears in one hand, a sickle in the other, and the scepter that could turn things into gold was firmly tied to her belt. Diana, why are you calling me?

The great aunt goddess of fertility... As soon as Diana finished speaking, Demeter showed a knowing smile. As the patron saint of the family, Demeter values ​​the close relationship between relatives and likes to talk and play with her juniors. She listened carefully to find out what the request of this demigod niece sent to the human world was.

Aunt Goddess, I ask you to deliver a child, so that I can ask the child's father to join me in an important battle. Diana blinked, as if she felt that what she said was a bit strange, and then added: The child’s father is very capable, and I think he can play a big role in solving the current troubles on the earth, saving the world, and restoring normal family and social order. I need him.”

Then who is the father of this child?

Mike Roar, Diana replied.

The goddess of fertility was stunned for a moment and blinked, while Diana's ears turned slightly red. I heard some news from the wind, and among them was this Mike Longhou. Is he the human you knew before?

It was him. Later we separated. Diana said: He is a druid who is very knowledgeable about nature, ecology and biology. He is also a heroic warrior and a male... warlock who can truly respect others. .”

Male... warlock? This turn of events is very sudden. Did he bully my Diana? Demeter shook her arms slightly, and the wheat ears and sickle disappeared. She stretched out her hand to squeeze Dai. Anna's nose. But her hands passed through Diana's body like smoke. This is not Olympus after all, she can only cast a shadow. Oh, it would be great if you could go back to Mount Olympus anytime. I still remember the scene when I held you when you were just born. I wish you strong strength and a tough body, so that you will not be tired and can Self-healing allows you to eliminate diseases and toxins by contacting the earth. I don't want you to get hurt, but my divine power is not that strong. It cannot make you immune to cuts, nor can it prevent someone from breaking your heart. However, if someone dares to hurt you Your heart, you use the power I give you to take revenge! That is what we, the Olympus Protoss, should do.

Auntie, the topic has gone too far. Diana remembered her mother's evaluation of this goddess: a domestic goddess, not as resolute as a warrior, but very proficient in nagging about the family's shortcomings, like a noisy duck.

Diana quickly pushed this thought out of her mind, and then said: He is one of the very few warriors that I can completely trust, and I need him very much now. He promised to wait for the woman who is about to give birth (Diana did not use the word wife - Demeter gave birth to the child, and he was a man of his word. But I need him now.

In other words, I will ensure that the birth can go smoothly, and that both mother and child are healthy and intact, so that he can come back to you?

It's to save the earth and mankind, not for me. Diana always felt that her aunt was going to mess with the rhythm, so she quickly pulled her back.

Diana, I do have the ability to wish mothers well, but I suggest you come back to Mount Olympus or go back to Paradise Island to find your mother. Demeter looked at her. Diana sighed with a resolute expression and said: I know this is in vain. You have contracted the stubborn bad habits of human beings in this regard. And you are always too kind.

Auntie, just say yes or not. This is the first time I'm begging you.

There will be a second time if there is a first time. Demeter temporarily put away her loving eyes and returned to the majestic and solemn image of a god, and then said: Diana, do you know what kind of sacrifices should be offered, and What kind of ceremony will be held?”

I know. Diana nodded.

Okay, you can owe it now and make it up before asking me next time. The smile returned to Demeter's face. She approached Diana and asked: How about you tell me about this Mike Longhou? The news I heard is that he was recognized as a Lord by the Alliance of Rings. What kind of man is he? It turns out that there was Icarus came back with some news, but he hasn’t been to the mountains for a long time, and we were all bored.”

He is a very strange guy. Diana still refused to use the word human on Zhao Mai, but the more deliberately she did so, the deeper the impression Zhao Mai left on her. From some angles, his abilities are quite similar to yours. He invented a super-yielding crop that can be eaten by any creature. He can also turn stones into gold - in fact, other substances besides gold can also It can be transformed. Oh, by the way, his strength and endurance are also very good. He used to be a little bit behind me, but now he should surpass me.

Hey, it's easy to compare the strength. How do you compare the endurance? I don't believe you guys did a long-distance running competition.

aunt!
