Chapter 292 is dedicated to the most beautiful goddess! (Introduction to recycling 1/2)
In the next two days, as the wedding day approached, the whole of Athens was immersed in an increasingly festive atmosphere. Athenians who loved entertainment and excitement used various ways to enjoy the peace after the war.
And they come from different city-states and different regions. Envoys from different divine blood families gathered here one after another, killing time while visiting Athens as a cultural center, while waiting to celebrate the wedding of the shepherd on the Ares Mountain.
In comparison, Ares Mountain, as the organizer of the wedding, seems a lot busier. The three goddesses Meihui are responsible for the external reception, the nine goddesses Muses are responsible for the internal coordination, and Medusa leads the three Gorgon sisters and maintains the power of the Academy of Athens. There is order on the surface, but the shady children of Typhon are hiding in the dark under the orders of the snake mother Echidna to guard...
As for Lorne himself, he locked himself in the great temple and dealt with a mountain of work. Apart from the basic food delivery and the unavoidable reception of guests, he basically saw no outsiders.
It seems that because the affairs that need to be solved are too heavy, in just two days and two nights, the overworked shepherd became visibly haggard.
Fortunately, on the eve of the upcoming wedding, this long tug-of-war finally came to an end.
After finishing the last official document on the table, Lorne threw away the stylus. Under the unfinished gazes of six people behind him, he rushed out of the cave as if for his life, ran all the way to the Academy of Athens, jumped into the lake and washed himself inside and out. Clean.
Then, he unceremoniously pulled out the sleeping teacher Ma Chiron from the lakeside hut, and took this makeshift family and friend group together to Hestia's mansion to prepare for the upcoming event tomorrow morning. Wedding preparation.
While the two were busy, the three goddesses who organized the wedding party finally left the Great Temple. Under the guidance of Hera, they came to inspect the basically completed wedding site, and made a temporary guest appearance as the bride Thetis' natal family. people.
Because a lot of preparations for weddings in ancient Greece needed to be taken care of by the woman's family. In the preparation stage before the wedding, the woman will prepare the dowry and the woman's mother will build the wedding venue herself.
As the goddess in charge of marriage and the adoptive mother of Thetis, Hera still had to worry about her adopted daughter's wedding.
As for Athena and Artemis, who were pulled over to help, they were in another sense compensating the bride for the groom's royalties.
The three goddesses carefully inspected the wedding scene, corrected some errors in details, made up for the omissions in the preparations, and worked patiently for most of the night. Only after confirming that everything was in place, did they leave the scene with satisfaction. Go to the new house where the bride Thetis lives.
According to custom, the bride will perform a baptism ceremony the night before the wedding, apply rock salt and minerals, and take a bath to remove dirt, symbolizing purification and tranquility.
As a group of relatives and friends, they naturally need to go over to help, or show their faces to eliminate certain suspicions.
After hearing the commotion, Thetis opened the door and saw three members of her family and friends standing outside the door. She smiled sincerely and warmly invited them to perform a baptism ceremony for her.
The three goddesses and the bride entered the bathhouse on the mountain talking and laughing, and spent the last night before the wedding in a joyful and harmonious atmosphere.
At the same time, a **** figure sneaked into the wedding scene after sneaking all the way.
When he saw no one playing with the gold invitation in his hand, a malicious smile appeared on his face, and then he raised his hand and placed a golden apple on a plate left on the table.
Under the moonlight, a line of writing was engraved on the surface of the golden apple, facing the door of the venue.
—Dedicated to the most beautiful goddess!
After doing all this, the uninvited guest who broke into the scene was satisfied and turned into a **** light and escaped, disappearing in the rich blood color.
Little did she know that what she was doing was clearly visible to a white owl squatting on the treetop.
On the beams of the venue, a certain flickering rune quietly extinguished the remaining light.
At this moment, Athena, who was wrapped in a bath towel and chatting with her best friend by the bathtub, paused for a moment, then spoke again, with a playful and expectant smile on her face;
The drowsy groom-to-be in Hestia's mansion opened his eyes as if feeling something, his eyes twinkling faintly, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
Sure enough, it came!
You said you were retaliating because you were not invited. Even if you were given an invitation, you wouldn't necessarily be honest because you were afraid of the world being in chaos, right?
That's fine, let's just treat it as a sideshow.
There is no [surprise], it is a bit too boring for the guests.
Lorne yawned and slowly closed his sleepy eyes.
In the early morning, Mr. Ma, who was being groomed, came in and woke up Lorne, who was sleeping soundly. The groom got up, put on a gorgeous outfit, and set out from the place where he lived, Hestia's mansion, in the presence of relatives and friends. Surrounded by people, they arrived at the nearby residence prepared for the bride.
According to the procedure, Lorne took out the prepared stick and knocked it three times at the door of the bride's house, calling for an invitation to show his sincerity and firmness.
Thetis, who was already prepared, gently opened the door and walked out accompanied by Athena and Artemis.
Seeing the two bridesmaids on one side and the other on the right, Lorne's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, as if the unforgettable two days and one night appeared in front of his eyes... Madam, you two best friends should separate in the future. I really don't feel bad about using your car. , stand up and kick!
While Lorne was secretly cursing in his heart, he looked at his wife who was about to marry him, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Today, Thetis wears a long white dress embroidered with golden patterns, and wears a corolla made of grape leaves on her head. In her hands, she holds ears of wheat that symbolize vitality and fertility, a constant reminder of future happiness and prosperity.
Her dignified and elegant temperament fills her with a gentle sense of wifehood.
Feeling the slightly hot gaze, Thetis blushed and whispered a reminder.
"When are you going to see it? It's almost time."
Lorne, who was somewhat absent-minded, reacted, smiled apologetically, quickly gathered his thoughts, took Thetis's bare hand, and pulled her side by side towards the wedding venue.
The two bridesmaids who were left behind looked at the newlyweds cuddling each other in front of them and felt a little bit amused.
Forget it, let's leave it to her today, anyway, we have already tasted it for two days and one night before.
The groom is very handsome...
After a second thought, Athena and Artemis smiled jokingly and started to follow.
Typically, the bride and groom will have their wedding ceremony held at an ancient local temple. In front of the temple, priests or priests will pray for them, asking the gods to bless them and bless them with a happy marriage. Later, the couple will give each other a token of their engagement, symbolizing their eternal commitment and shared responsibility.
But since Lorne and Thetis are both members of the gods, and the true **** is waiting in the open wedding scene, there is really no need to worship several statues in the temple.
Therefore, the two skipped this link directly. Surrounded by relatives and friends, they stepped through the flower petals and arrived at the wedding site arranged in front of the cliff.
Here is the blue Aegean Sea on one side and the towering Ares Mountain on the other. At the same time, you can overlook the entire Acropolis of Athens, with a wide view and beautiful scenery.
Lorne and Thetis held hands, crossed a rope horizontally at the end of the marble steps, and officially entered the door of the wedding venue.
The rope symbolizes their entry into a new stage of life and the beginning of a new journey. This also means that couples should work together to overcome difficulties in their future lives.
At this time, it is also time for the guests to offer congratulatory gifts to the newlyweds, which symbolizes the guests' blessing and support for their newlywed life. Gifts may be gold and silver jewelry, textiles or items that symbolize happiness and wealth. There are no specific requirements.
The outspoken craftsman **** Hephaestus was the first to present the gift he had carefully prepared.
It was a shield, thick, huge, and exquisitely decorated. A three-layered shield was raised around the edge of the shield, shining brightly and setting off the sterling silver strap.
The shield has five layers, and groups of beautiful reliefs are cast on the wide surface, which is a tribute to his skills and ingenuity.
He forged the earth, the sky, the ocean, the tireless sun, and the full moon. And the many stars are like garlands that add color to the sky.
In addition, on the shield, there are two bustling cities, which are exquisite.
It is a scene of wedding and celebration. Relatives and friends are leading the bride out of the boudoir, walking along the city streets, holding dazzling torches and singing the newlywed melody. The three goddesses of grace and beauty swayed rapidly and danced cheerfully, and the sound of the harp played by the nine goddesses of the Muses rose and fell; the gods and mortals present cast their eyes in surprise and blessing, corresponding to the The scene in Athens right now.
The other city is like an orchard occupied by grapevines. The reliefs on the shield are made of gold, showing a deep purple and blue, and the creeping branches and vines are attached to the silver poles. Boundless thunderstorms shrouded the sky over the city, the gods roared, and the stars fell, showing the aura of doom.
But this city covered with vines enjoys tranquility. People came out of their shelters to harvest grapes. Groups of girls and boys, with the innocence of young people, used wicker baskets to carry away ripe and sweet fruits and drank wine; among them, a young man plucked a clear-sounding harp and played Charming tunes, expressive singing voices, and long poems from the "Holy Words" were sung beautifully and melodiously; the crowd echoed, singing and cheering, taking brisk steps and dancing to a neat rhythm.
Needless to say, Lorne also guessed that this city was the city of Thebes that he saved during the War of Gods.
And finally, the majestic water of the Oceanus Sea rushed around the edge of the indestructible battle shield. The outermost lines representing chaotic masses were looming, wrapping the entire shield and the entire miniature on the shield surface. world】.
Looking at this exquisite shield that contained a strong divine aura, Lorne asked subconsciously.
"This is?"
The craftsman **** Hephaestus smiled heartily and answered proudly.
"DionysusCosmos (Dionysus Universe), of course, you can also call it [the small world surrounding the sky]."
