[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

Hermes goes to Artemis.

Compared to her youthful and lively past, she is almost decadent at this time, and the sadness in her eyes is not fake. Hermes looked at her like this, but for some reason he couldn’t ignore her—from the moment Artemis intentionally walked in with him. On that day, he knew what she was for. In the past, Hermes would always say a few perfunctory words, but he didn't want to help. It's just that because of Zeus's affairs today, for some unknown reason, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Hermes looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"You don't look...not having a good time." He tried his best not to look so gloating.

"I need your help, Hermes." Artemis looked at Hermes decadently and said, she seemed to want to smile, but regrettably failed.

"I have no such obligation." Hermes raised his eyebrows, and finally said, "Also, even if I want to help you, it's too late."

"Why?" Artemis looked at him puzzled.

"The underworld has been completely closed recently, and it has become an existence independent of Olympus." Hermes spread his hands, "The dead can enter it, but the living cannot." Not to mention... Olympus Pease's god.

Hermes knew that after this incident, both Persephone and Pluto might have resistance to Olympus.

"What happened." Artemis was a little surprised, but also a little annoyed. If it was really what Hermes said, then it would be very difficult for Hermes to take her into the underworld. .

But...what happened to make Hermes, who can travel freely in all walks of life, helpless?

Hermes looked meaningfully at the palace behind him, and said nothing, but Artemis had already guessed what was going on.

"Zeus went to the underworld?" She looked at the hall, and her face gradually became gloomy. Many people knew why Persephone was left in the underworld. Hera's determination would not change one day, but she Unexpectedly, Zeus actually entered the underworld because of this.

He couldn't forget Persephone!

"I suffered a little in the underworld." Hermes said, "Persephone has really changed."

Artemis frowned even more when he heard the name.

"This matter has something to do with her?" She thought...it was Zeus and Persephone...but it doesn't seem to be it now?

"En." Hermes shrugged, "I suggest you give up your thoughts."

"No." Artemis said firmly.

Hermes looked at her, didn't speak, and knew that it would be useless for him to talk too much, but for himself who had talked so much about her, he was actually a little baffled today.

Leaving aside all kinds of things in Olympus, since Zeus left Hades, Meros can be said to have a prosperous life.

Don't worry about the envoy coming here from time to time, he no longer has to pretend to be himself, Hades told him, as long as he doesn't disturb the gods sleeping in the underworld, then there won't be any trouble coming to him.

It's a very comfortable thing to not have to pretend to be himself, and he no longer has to be afraid of what will happen if he is found out, but for the sake of safety, he still didn't let others know his real name, but that's not important anymore up.

As his behavior style gradually emerged, he gained more and more support in the Underworld. Many people have never been in contact with Melos. They just heard about the actions of the "Queen of the Underworld". It is obviously a cruel method, but In this world shrouded in darkness, it is extremely admirable.

This is a life that Melos has never dared to imagine. In this world ruled by gods, he is a person who bears the "prophecy" and lives freely here.

Compared with the life just waking up before, the life at this time is close to a dream.

But Melos likes it very much.

"Your Highness." Gakbel would occasionally come to ask Meros for instructions. He, Shakanochman, and Akarali seem to have gradually become the subordinates of Meros. Now, as long as there is something in the underworld, they will be the first The first reaction was not to go to Hades but to Meros.

It's not that Hades didn't know about it, but he didn't say anything,

It is equivalent to acquiescing to this matter.

"Huh?" Melos leaned against the tree trunk, looking at Gakbel under the tree.

"News from Olympus."

"Oh?" Melos raised his eyebrows, "Whose?"

"Goddess Artemis sent it to Her Highness the Empress of the Underworld." Melos jumped down from the tree, and the anklets made a pleasant sound - since Melos was able to use more power, the sound of this string of anklets It became more and more pleasing to the ear, and sometimes Melos himself felt very comfortable listening to it.

As a result, the tone of the letter in Gakbel's hand and Artemis's letter has changed a lot from the beginning.

Maybe it was because she really wanted something from others, or because she knew what happened in the underworld recently, in short, her tone did not make Melos feel extremely uncomfortable as before.

It seems that Artemis really likes that person very much, otherwise she would not be angry with Apollo for so long. Later generations beautified this story in order to explain why the sun and the moon do not appear at the same time, but look Whether the current situation is beautified or not is still uncertain.

Melos looked at the above text, and it was really rare for Artemis, who has always been proud, to do this. At least if it was Persephone who had a friendship with her, then she should agree to her request.

It's a pity that the person who saw this letter is Meros.

He put it away.

"Your Highness?" Gakbel looked at him, "You mean?"

"Not now." Melos shook his head. "If you agree to her request now, then Zeus will heal the scar soon and forget the pain. Of course, maybe he doesn't feel the pain."

It is said that except for being affected in the later stage, Zeus is not worried about accidents at all other times, and lives very well in the underworld.

If it hadn't been affected by the environment of the underworld, Zeus would probably consider living here for a while, or see Persephone again.

Of course, this is just Melos' guess.

But in any case, Artemis should not be allowed in at this juncture because of a letter from Artemis.

If this matter spreads to Olympus, he doesn't know what other people will do, but he can guarantee that Zeus's little thoughts will definitely come out again.

So nothing can be done at this juncture.

Melos put away the letter: "Anything else?"

"Queen of Neptune, Amphitrite wishes to visit the underworld."

"Queen of the Sea?" Melos was stunned for a long time before he realized, "What did Hades say?"

"Your Majesty said that this matter will be handled by you."

"Has Amphitrite been here before?" Why did you suddenly want to come here?Obviously, you can't see anything here, and it's not as beautiful as the bottom of the sea.

"There have been a few times, after staying in the underworld for a while, I will leave."

"No request or anything?"

"No."

"What do you think?" Compared to Hera's jealousy and Persephone's indifference, this sea queen is not well-known. Meros doesn't even remember her life. It seems that she is not an important god. Only, just a sea fairy, Melos really doesn't have much impression of her.

So he really wanted to know if Hailai should be allowed to be a "guest" here.

After all, although Poseidon and Zeus are at odds, he doesn't know the character of the Queen of the Sea, and he himself is not Persephone. Whether it will be dangerous to let the Queen of the Sea come in, Meros is not sure.

"Your Highness, don't worry." Akarali didn't know when she came, she walked to the side of the two, "Compared to Apollo, Your Highness Amphitrite is much more trustworthy."

"That's it..." Melos thought for a moment, then nodded slowly, "In this case, promise her that you will handle this matter in person. It is not convenient for me to come forward. I will leave this matter to you."

Since Amphitrite is a frequent visitor to the underworld, and since Akarali said so, Melos agreed, but he didn't expect that Artemis would be dissatisfied with such a trivial matter in his eyes.

"She rejected my request." Artemis shot a bow and arrow fiercely, looking at the prey in the distance, his eyes full of killing intent.

As the goddess of hunting, her skills are naturally not bad.

Athena stood not far away, watching her silently.

"Is it because Amphitrite is not from Olympus, so she agreed?"

"Artemis." Athena hesitated for a moment before persuading, "There is no need to do this..."

"No," Artemis put away the bow and arrow. After venting, she calmed down a lot, but she still felt resentful. "I will definitely bring him back. I thought she would promise me..."

It is said that people in love are unreasonable, Artemis can ignore her brother because of the death of her sweetheart, restrain her arrogance in order to bring back the soul of her sweetheart, and ask "Polseful" in a calm tone as much as possible. Nirvana", she can naturally do some things that don't allow her to think in a normal way because she can't get what she wants.

"I'll go back first." She tossed her hair and saw Apollo approaching her from afar, she snorted and left quickly.

Apollo didn't have time to say hello to Athena, and ran to chase his sister again.

Athena watched their actions and sighed helplessly.

"Love..." She murmured, with a little confusion in her eyes, but finally she shook her head to get all the previous thoughts out of her mind, and then left here too.
