[That night, your actions once again became a hot topic among people. ]

[Both the stars in the forest and the goddess portrait made of fireworks have become an indelible and important part of this era. ]

[Dreamlike fireworks, the boy and the goddess riding the white wolf. ]

[It is deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone that night and will never be forgotten. ]

["Zoe, you are really born to be the center of attention. I find that no matter where you are, you are always the center of attention."]

[In the tavern, Orpheus, who had a full glass of wine, said with a little drunkenness: "Listen, my friend! Everyone is talking about you. I believe that your name will always remain in the Kingdom of Arcadia and be sung by everyone!"]

["ite....."1

[Putting down the wine glass, Orpheus carefully glanced at Atalanta, who was not far away and had a cold face and expressionless face.

He leaned close to your ear and asked softly: "Is she really okay in this state? I always feel that Atalanta seems very unhappy after Her Majesty Artemis cancelled your engagement...

]

["This is your illusion."]

[You interrupted Orpheus: "She is a believer serving the virgin goddess and must remain pure for the gods all her life. What's more, you are not unaware of the oath Atalanta once made, so don't worry about it. "]

["Is that really the case?"]

[Orpheus smiled but said nothing. He had seen through everything.]

[As a person who had experienced this, how could Orpheus not have noticed Atalanta's little thoughts about you?]

[In fact, it was not just Orpheus]

[All the heroes on the Argo, including Hercules who seemed rough but was actually delicate, and Jason who was flamboyant and high-profile.]

[They could all see Atalanta's little thoughts about you.]

[After all, the huntress was not good at acting. She never looked at the way "840" looked at you. I have concealed it. ]

[At first, I may have just had some affection, a little sign. ]

[But now, it is completely different. ]

[Orpheus can see that when Atalanta looks at you, the tenderness in her eyes is almost overflowing. ]

[Because you are here, the cold winter has a warm spring breeze. ]

[The sharp spring water has also turned into a flowing stream. ]

[From this moment, Atalanta's world has truly appeared in color. ]

[If this is not love...]

[Then what is love? ]

["This bitter Bitter yet sweet love, at this moment, in this situation, I can't help but play a song!"]

[Orpheus's old habit came back again, regardless of the occasion, he took out his violin and played impromptu.]

[After all, he is a musician. People who play art have more or less some quirks.]

[It's normal.]

[It's just that he forgot that Atalanta is here.]

[The strong-willed female hunter didn't suppress her anger, she directly drew her bow and arrow, aiming at Orpheus, whose smile was frozen on his face.]

[Orpheus:]

["If I say I'm drunk and talking nonsense, do you believe it?"]

["Go to hell!"]

["Zoe, save me! Why are you just watching and not saying anything?!"]

[This is probably what is called superficial friendship. ]

[Being brothers is in the heart. ]

[I can't get through on the phone if you need anything!]

[You leisurely admired Orpheus being chased by the angry Atalanta, and had no intention of stopping him. ]

[Who let this guy have fun?]

[He deserves it!]

[Orpheus, you are very talkative, right? Now tell me another one?]

[The fun person will eventually become the fun in the eyes of others. ]

[I'm talking about Orpheus. ]

[He was being chased by Atalanta and screamed loudly, with an arrow stuck in his butt. ]

[He was in a very miserable state. ]

[But we were all friends, so Atalanta naturally couldn't really kill him. She was just venting her anger. ]

[This anger came and went quickly. ]

[After a while, Orpheus came back to sit in front of you with a dark face, rubbing his butt. ]

["Hiss———" ]

[As soon as he sat down, he touched the wound on his butt, and Orpheus gasped. ]

[Make a contribution to global warming. ]

["Zoe, you are too disloyal. Are you just going to sit there and watch your friend being hunted? Are you still a hero?"]

[Orpheus complained, and when he saw Atalanta's eyes shifted to him again, he immediately changed the subject and talked about business: "I'm leaving, Zoe."]

["My wife Eurydice is still waiting for me at home."]

[Speaking of his wife, this rare dedicated man in Greek mythology smiled sweetly. ]

[He once again mentioned the matter between you and Atalanta.

As a person who has experienced it, he patted your shoulder and said meaningfully: "I have always believed that my fate with my wife is destined to be lucky.

It is fate that made her come to my side, become my wife, and spend my life with me."]

["Zoe, have you decided who you want to spend your life with?"]

["I look forward to the day when you find your home."]

When Orpheus said this, not only Atalanta, but also Ann and Medea quietly pricked up their ears.

They all wanted to know Alex answer.

Wanted to know who he would choose.

Unfortunately, Alex just shook his head silently and said nothing.

Atalanta turned his head expressionlessly, Anna hid her face in her cloak, and Medea sighed, recalling the words of her master, the goddess Nyx, who warned her.

It can also be seen as a prophecy given by the goddess of the night.

"Medea, you'd better stay away from Zoe! His fate is connected with the goddess, and there is more than one! This means that his fate is destined to be a storm, a vortex of the sky!"

"In the future, when Zoe has to make a choice, there may be unimaginable disasters!"

"The white giant will come to the earth again, everything will be withered, and even the gods will die!"

"Stay away from him, Medea, the farther away from him the better! This is no longer something you can participate in!"

"Otherwise, you will be torn to pieces by the torrent of fate!"

The stern warning of the goddess Nyx still echoed in her mind.

To be honest, Medea was actually very afraid of the future her master talked about.

But she really couldn't bear it!

She didn't want to leave Alex.

Therefore, even if she could only accompany him through a journey in his life, Meiya was satisfied.

She had completely let go of her original dream.

Just last night, she witnessed the look in Artemis' eyes when she looked at Alex.

Medea knew that Nix's warning was undoubtedly correct.

The boy was too good!

It was like a sun. Since he rose, the stars became dim and could only serve as a foil to highlight the brilliance of the sun!

A man who was favored by even the goddess, what could a witch like herself fight for?

With a calm mentality, Medea was much more relaxed, not as worried as before.

Because it was no longer necessary, wasn't it?

Now she just wanted to accompany Alex to complete this last journey and keep this precious memory well.

If she could get a hug when she parted, it would be even better!

Okay.

This was just to comfort herself.

The beloved was right in front of her, but she was destined not to have the opportunity to spend her life with him.

How could Medea endure this pain?

But compared to herself, she was more worried about...

Anna! This girl who had been with Alex from the beginning.

Medea quietly observed Anna's face, which was mostly covered by the cloak, and she felt a rare sadness in her heart.

Anna.

If that day really came.

What would your choice be? After bidding farewell to Orpheus, Alex team also left Arcadia.

Originally, they planned to return to the Invisible Island to accompany Anna to visit her two sisters.

As a result, they were caught up by the blind Orpheus halfway.

The hero who was always full of energy and smiled calmly in the past, now looked like a tramp.

His eyes had been blinded by crying and his voice was hoarse.

It was like two pieces of rusty iron rubbing against each other.

Even the beloved harp was broken into two pieces, silently telling Orpheus' recent experience.

Seeing his friend so miserable, Alex immediately stepped forward and asked Orpheus what had happened.

Logically, as the son of Apollo and a dignified demigod.

Orpheus' life should have been smooth sailing.

What happened?

Alex pondered and finally remembered a sentence recorded in the Greek mythology he read before.

——Eurydice died from a poisonous snake bite!

[As recorded in the book, Orpheus had just returned home when he heard a bad news. ]

[His wife Eurydice was bitten by a poisonous snake while playing with the fairies in the field. ]

[When the fairies found her, she had already died. ]

[Her soul was taken back to the cold and desolate underworld by the ferryman. ]

[When Orpheus saw his lover's cold body, he cried so hard that he went blind. The extremely sad sound of the piano finally moved Hades, the god of the underworld. ]

[So Hades gave Orpheus a chance to bring his wife back. ]

[As long as he could hold Eurydice's hand and walk out of the underworld, he could revive his wife. ]

[But before leaving the underworld, he was not allowed to buy back. ]

[Orpheus remembered the request. Even though his wife was wailing because of the pain from her wound, she never looked back once...

[But when he walked out of the underworld and bathed in the sun, he forgot that Eurydice was still at the entrance to the underworld. ]

[Turning around to hug his wife, Orpheus watched the long arm of death suddenly appear and drag Eurydice back to the dark and cold land of the dead... .]

["Zoe, only you can help me now!"]

["I beg you, help me save Eurydice, as long as you can save Eurydice, even if it means exchanging my life, I am willing!"]

[Seeing Orpheus crying like this, you can't bear it. ]

[After all, he came all the way to help you before. ]

[What's more, you have recalled the whole picture of the matter. Eurydice should not have been bitten to death by a venomous snake during this period of time. ]

[Hades, the god of the underworld, has not yet married Persephone, the daughter of the goddess of agriculture Demeter. ]

[Why did Eurydice suddenly die?]

[Is it the butterfly effect?]

[You can only guess this. You invited Orpheus to the Kingdom of Arcadia to help. Without her husband, Eurydice could only play with the fairies in the fields, right?]

[When you think of this, you can't help but feel guilty. ]

[Pull Orpheus up and say solemnly: "Don't worry, Orpheus, I will definitely bring your wife back from the underworld! Tell me what you want me to do?"]

[Hearing this, the sad Orpheus is like a drowning man grasping at a straw, stubbornly grasping you as his last hope, unwilling to let go. ]

[He tells you that after his failure, he once again entered the underworld to meet Hades, the god of the underworld. ]

[Hades told Orpheus that as long as you help hold a wedding that satisfies everyone, he will allow Orpheus to make a second attempt. ]

[Bring Eurydice back to the world!]

It's night.

The Temple of the Invisible Island.

Alex sat on a huge rock outside the temple, frowning and thinking about the request of Hades, the god of the underworld.

Orpheus has fallen asleep.

This poor man is too tired.

After his wife's death, he entered the underworld twice, and then rushed to find Alex without stopping.

His body had already reached its limit.

If he hadn't held on for a breath, he would have fainted halfway.

Now that he finally had a chance to rest, Alex naturally couldn't bear to let Orpheus continue to hold on.

The physique of a demigod is indeed amazing, far superior to that of a mortal.

But he couldn't stand this!

Orpheus was also lucky to find Alex halfway.

Otherwise, he might have reunited with his wife Eurydice in the underworld.

Alex lamented and felt guilty about his friend's misfortune, and at the same time, he found it difficult to understand Hades' conditions.

What does "a wedding that satisfies everyone" mean?

Who does "everyone" here refer to?

Having lived in the Greek Age of Gods for so many years, my memory of reading the book of Greek mythology is a little fuzzy.

The main reason is that Alex can't write it down directly, otherwise, if the gods find out, how should 1.4 be explained?

Don't think that the gods don't know Huxia characters.

There are too many gods who have a certain ability to see the future. It would be strange if they can't even understand Huxia characters!

Not to mention, the main gods also have the ability to see fate.

Thinking of using different characters to hide is just overthinking.

Therefore, Alex can only rely on rote memory!

Before going to bed every day, recall the important parts of Greek mythology.

It turns out that this trick is still very useful.

At least it helps Alex now.

He vaguely recalled the story between Hades, the god of the underworld, and Persephone, the queen of the underworld.

Persephone is the favorite daughter of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and Hades' secret crush.

With the tacit consent of Zeus, Gaia, the goddess of the earth, used a daffodil to lead Persephone away from her friends.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hades drove his chariot to the human world and forcibly abducted Persephone.

Persephone called for her mother to save her.

Hearing the cry, Demeter was extremely anxious. She put down everything in her hands and looked for her daughter everywhere.

Because of the loss of the care of the goddess of agriculture, all things stopped growing, and a famine swept all the creatures on the earth.

Later, it was the sun god Helios who told Demeter that Hades had abducted Persephone.

But as the main god, how could Hades be afraid of Persephone?

If he was afraid, there would be no queen of the underworld.

Alex figured it out a little.

So the so-called "wedding that satisfies everyone", the "everyone" here is most likely referring to Demeter!
