For most readers, Demeter's best-known story is "turning stone into gold". In return for the help of King medaya of Florida, Demeter gave him the ability to turn stone into gold at his request. So the King became rich and powerful, until he accidentally turned his relatives and friends into gold, food and water into gold, and suffered from starvation and bereavement. He therefore asked the goddess to recover her power and restore everything. Demeter restored everything and brought the king back to his original life - that's the story.
There is a temple of Demeter on the island of Naxos, which is very small and has already collapsed due to disrepair. However, Diana knows that this is one of the few places where she can contact Demeter directly, and it is a "phone booth" she left in the world. Here, Diana doesn't have to enter Olympus to find the goddess, thus saving her precious place.
Demeter is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, and she is also the sister of Zeus. In terms of blood relationship, Diana is her niece and a very close person. But rules are rules. Diana still has to prepare sacrifices, including a male and a female, two cows, a pig, fresh fruits of the season and honey hives. Everything else was easy to find. Diana could buy it from the residents of Naxos Island, but the hive couldn't be found for a while, so she used three pots of honey instead.
The way that God calls God is totally different from the way that people worship God. Diana only knew it after she returned to Paradise Island and learned the sacrificial ceremony from her mother. Watching the sacrifice disappear in the smoke, Diana calls God's name in a rhythmic tone. The divine power in her body joined in, forming a bright golden light around the smoke of the sacrifice.
After a while, Demeter came out of the smoke. She was tall, solemn, dignified, and with a shallow smile. Long, wavy, golden hair fell on the shoulders, a broad skirt stopped at the ankles, and a pair of handmade straw sandals stepped on the feet. She had a bunch of ears of wheat in one hand and a sickle in the other, and a scepter that could turn things into gold was firmly tied to her belt. "Diana, what are you calling me for?"
"The great aunt of the goddess of fertility..." As soon as Diana spoke, Demeter showed a knowing smile. As the guardian spirit of the family, Demeter attached great importance to the close relationship between relatives and liked to talk and frolic with his younger generation. She listened attentively to the request of the demigod niece sent to the world.
"Aunt goddess, I ask you to deliver a child so that I can ask the father of that child to join me in important battles." Diana blinked. She seemed to think her words were a little strange. She added: "the father of the child is very capable. I think he can play a great role in solving the current problems of the earth, saving the world and restoring normal family and social order. I need him."
"And who is the father of this child?"
"Mike Longhou." Diana replied.
The goddess of fertility was stunned for a moment, her eyes blinked, and Diana's ears turned red. "I've heard some news from the wind, one of which is this Mike long roar. Is he the human you knew before? "
"It's him. Then we parted Diana said: "he is a druid who studies nature, ecology and biology. He is also a brave fighter and a man who can sincerely respect others Warlock. "
"Man Warlock? It's an abrupt turn for you. Did he bully my Diana? " Demeter's arms shook slightly, and the ears of wheat and sickle disappeared. She reached out and pinched Diana's nose. But her hand went through Diana's body like smoke. This is not Olympus after all, she can only project the shadow down. "Well, when can you go back to Olympus? I still remember when you were born and I held you. I wish you strong strength and tenacious body, so that you will not be tired and can heal, so that you can contact the earth to eliminate diseases and toxins. I don't want to hurt you, but my divine power is not so strong, can't let you immune cut wound, also can't avoid someone to hurt your heart. However, if someone dares to hurt your heart, you will take revenge with my strength! That's what we Olympians should do
"Aunt, it's a long way off." Diana thought of her mother's evaluation of the Goddess: a family goddess, not as fierce as a soldier, is very proficient in talking about family affairs, just like a noisy duck.
Diana rushed the idea out of her head and said, "he's one of the very few fighters I can trust. I need him now. He promised to wait for the woman to give birth (Diana didn't use the word wife Demeter) to give birth, and he was a committed guy. But I need him now. "
"That is to say, I'm here to make sure that the baby and the mother are in good health, so that he can come back to you?"
"To save the earth and mankind, not for me." Diana always felt that her aunt had to bring a crooked rhythm and quickly pulled it back.
"Diana, I do have the ability to wish maternal health, but I suggest you come back to Olympus, or go back to paradise island to find your mother." Demeter sighed at Diana's resolute expression and said, "I know it's all in vain. You are contaminated with the obstinacy of human beings in this respect. And you're always too kind. ""Aunt, just say yes or no. It's the first time I've asked you. "
"There's a first, there's a second." Demeter temporarily put away his eyes of love and pity, restored to the image of a dignified God, and then said, "Diana, do you know what kind of sacrifice you should offer and what kind of ceremony you should hold?"
"I know." Diana nodded.
"OK, you can owe it first and make it up before you ask me next time." The smile returned to Demeter's face. She approached Diana and asked, "can you tell me something about this mclong roar? The news I heard was that he was recognized as Lord by the ring alliance. What kind of man is he? Originally, Icarus came back with some news, but he didn't come to the mountain for a long time. We were bored
"He's a very strange guy." Diana still doesn't want to use the word "human" on Zhao Mai, but the more deliberately she does, the more impressed Zhao Mai is. "In some ways, he's like you. He invented a super high-yield crop that can be eaten by all kinds of creatures. He can also turn stone into gold - in fact, besides gold, other substances can also be transformed. Oh, by the way, his strength and endurance are also very good. He was a little worse than me in the past, and now he should surpass me. "
"Eh, the strength is better. How can the endurance be compared? I don't believe you have a long-distance race."
"Aunt!"
