Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 673: Naifu, someone doesn't give you face

Before I knew it, I was almost tricked by Eros.

Although she did say that she wanted to train the child, it didn't necessarily mean that she had to do it herself.

What a mess about her father and mother. She, Nephthys, is an unmarried virgin. Such a thing would never happen.

Nephthys struggled to break free from Eros's hand, hugged Dionysus with both hands, and glared at Eros.

"Humph, I now have other candidates for this child's mother."

"If you want to pester her, go and pester her."

Nephthys seemed to have a new idea in her mind and smiled again.

"What? Human, you want to come with me?"

Nephthys said to Eros with a hint of provocation.

"I have a good temper and won't argue with you about this, but do you dare to repeat these words exactly as they were said?"

"Oh? I wonder who the goddess is talking about. Maybe I know something about it."

Eros was not afraid at all, but he did not agree directly.

He is not stupid. He certainly won't be like this to everyone he sees. It depends on who he is targeting.

Doesn't that mean you can see that the goddess in front of you is actually an easy target?

"Tsk, come with me and you will know."

"Okay, but give my child back to me first."

Eros stretched out his hand and asked Nephthys to return Dionysus to him, but Nephthys pouted and put Dionysus down in her arms.

After all, she is a goddess, so she has some leeway.

Nephthys was confident that the people in front of her could not stop her from doing what she wanted to do.

The reason why I didn't just take him away by force and talked so much with Eros was, on the one hand, because Eros was indeed interesting.

On the other hand, it was because she was a kind and benevolent god, and she really felt that it was not good to kidnap other people's children.

Dionysus returned to Eros, his expression as usual, without any change because of this little episode.

Maybe he has become accustomed to being picked up by passing aunties as if they were cute children.

"Then let me introduce myself again. My name is Amon, a traveling magician who came to Esseniro to participate in the Heka Competition."

"This is my familiar, and the magician Menage who I happened to meet and is also participating in the Heka Competition."

Dionysus came back to her side, and Eros introduced himself to Nephthys again with a smile on his face.

Menage timidly greeted the goddess in front of her, and Nephthys looked at her with her wise eyes and uttered a sound of surprise.

"Eh? You seem to be as pure as a piece of white paper, and you don't seem to have any ulterior motives. Are you really a magician?"

Hearing this, Menage lowered her head in shame.

As expected, she is not a qualified magician at all?

"So how about we wait a while for this matter, and discuss it after we finish participating in the Heka Competition?"

"The Heka Contest?"

Nephthys asked doubtfully, thinking for a moment.

"Don't you know, goddess? This is the largest Heka competition in the world, called by the god Ra."

Eros looked at her with a hint of amusement.

"By the way, the position of the king who rules the earth, which you just mentioned, will also be decided. This is also the promise of the great sun." Although it was not said, the subtext was obvious.

You made a promise, and He made a promise, so who has the more say? Whose promise is more real?

Eros felt it was difficult to say on this point.

Nephthys's face, which was slightly charming, became a little ugly because of Eros' words.

If La really decided to do so, then she really... had no choice.

After all, if she could do it, she would have used a flail to knock the sun boat down from the sky.

But would Ra make such a hasty decision so easily? Just relying on a magical skill to decide such an important matter?

It was just as unreliable as relying on the outcome of a game of Senet to determine the king. Based on her understanding of Ra, how could He do such a rash thing?
However, although she had some thoughts and guesses in her mind, Nephthys did not say them out loud, but returned to her indifferent look.

"It's okay, there's still time, there won't be a conflict."

It is too troublesome to think about such things alone, so Nephthys thinks it would be better to find someone to help her share this problem.

The water of the Nile River behind her gradually began to churn, and a pitch-black cypress boat silently pierced through the sparkling waves and floated up from the center of the river.

The hull was engraved with secret messages, and the linen wrapped around the mast was soaked in the scent of myrrh, emitting a light blue mist in the sunlight.

The boat was like a canoe that took people to the land of the dead, and countless bass pushed it to Nephthys' side.

"Let's go, or is there anything else you need to take with you?"

Nephthys stepped onto the boat and turned back to say to Eros.

Without any hesitation, Eros took Dionysus and boarded the boat that seemed to lead to the underworld.

Hermes followed closely behind, while Menage, after some hesitation, boarded the ship with some fear.

In order to give herself courage, she called out her magic wolf and held it in her arms.

Looking back at this somewhat strange combination, Nephthys did not care about the strangeness of these people, but let the river water and the perch push the boat.

The empty world gradually began to be filled with the shadows of others, but they were just shadows.

Neither the people on the river bank nor the boats on the water could see the group of people. Even if they collided with each other, they would just pass through like phantoms.

This perspective belonging to the gods seemed very strange to Menage, and he looked around curiously. Dionysus continued to observe everything around him with curiosity.

Eros, of course, would not waste even a moment of his free time and continued to talk to Nephthys at the bow.

Don't say that he is a mean person and his nature cannot be changed.

This is called gathering intelligence and doing good diplomacy. Who else but him can do this important task?
How can I understand more about this world if I don't talk to Nephthys more and improve my relationship with her?
His good daughter has created opportunities for him, but how to seize the opportunities depends on his strength.

However, his charm was limited, and he could not chat casually like before. He had to quickly attract Nephthys' interest.

Looking at Nephthys who was thinking about something, Eros soon had an idea in his mind.

"Goddess Nephthys, let me guess, the person you are taking me to find now, is her name Isis?"

Nephthys, who was deep in thought, was called back by Eros' words, her face full of surprise.

"You know her?!"

Oh, that's right. It's just simple reasoning.

Eros smiled faintly and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he gave Nephthys a look of "you guess what".

Nothing is more interesting than leaving something unsaid.
