Nebuchadnezzar II's era was the prosperous era of New Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar II rebuilt the large tower of the Temple of Malouk, the Babel Tower, and raised the temple tower to shoulder the sky. The tower was divided into seven levels, representing the sun, moon, and the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. A spiral passage extended to the top of the temple, which was a temple with four golden corners.
There were many people and offerings in the open air of the temple. Because the tower was so tall that even the Celestial Thearch was afraid, he ordered punishment and let the country suffer a drought.
A young girl in white was kneeling in the middle of the ritual. Her graceful figure under her white dress was faintly discernible in the breeze. Her long black hair was dancing in the breeze. With the jasmine flower garland on her head, she looked elegant and refined. The eyes on the veil were closed. Beside him were King Nebuchadnezzar and His Highness, as well as the maids and ministers behind them, who were devoutly praying for the rain.
The girl in white was the most precious daughter of King Nebuchadnezzar and his beloved wife, Queen Medes, Princess Ais. She was also the female priest of Babylon.
Every Babylonian woman had to go to the temple of Aphrodite, complete the task of a holy prostitute, and have sex with some strange men before returning home to marry. However, they were not considered prostitutes in the temple. Instead, they were seen as sacred substitutes, representing the goddess of love, sexual desire, and beauty in the temple. However, some ugly women might have to wait for a long time before they could return home, or even wait for three to four years in the temple.
However, Princess Ayis was not qualified to go to the Holy Temple. She had been prophesied by the previous priest when she was born that she would never get love and would even curse her man to death. However, she was the incarnation of God, and no one was more suitable than her to be a pure female priest. However, Princess Ayis longed for love. She believed that the man of her dreams must be waiting for her somewhere in the world.
Twenty years later, Heracles 'originally handsome face now had a big beard. He looked old and lonely, and the face under the beard was full of fatigue. He landed beside a clear stream and bent down to drink some water. His beard was covered with water droplets. Then, he took out a notebook. It was filled with dense records of the cities and villages he had visited over the years. For the past twenty years, he had been searching for his beloved wife, Heber.
Twenty years ago, after Heber left, Heracles had asked Apollo to tell him about Heber. Apollo was so annoyed that he was about to break down, so he gave him a mirror that could reflect the true form of any illusion. After that, Apollo fled to his grandmother, Mother Earth, to seek refuge.
Heracles held the divine mirror like an idiot and looked at every girl he saw, but he was disappointed every time. "It's been 20 years, and there's no clue at all. My beloved Heber, where are you? No, no matter if it's 20 years, 200 years, or even 2,000 years, I have to continue searching. Heber, wait for me.”Heracles made a firm decision.
Just as he was about to go on his way, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear." Great hero Heracles, you know that I only believe in you. Please be kind again and save my country and my people! Please use your supreme divine power to bestow a sweet rain on the dry land! Please, great Heracles.”
It was this voice again. In the past two years, this voice had often sounded in his ears, praying to him for peace and prosperity for her people. Later on, she even told him her inner thoughts, her troubles, and her preferences. In short, everything was poured in his direction. At first, he thought that she was the reincarnation of Heber. Yesterday, he excitedly held the divine mirror and found her on the street. Although she was covered with a veil, her blue eyes were so familiar that it made his heart beat faster. However, when he used the divine mirror to shine, he realized that it was not Heber. He was so angry that he wanted to smash the divine mirror on the spot.
Now that the voice had sounded again, his disobedient heart started to fiddle with it again." Forget it, don't care about her.”After he helped himself up, he was about to leave, but he immediately hesitated." It seems that her people are in trouble. No matter what, I'm loved and worshipped by mortals. It's better to go and take a look!"”Heracles waved his hand and disappeared.
"So Babylon is suffering from a drought.”Heracles was floating above the Tower of Babel while Princess Ayis and the others were still praying for rain.
"This is Zeus 'punishment for them to raise their temples to the height of the heavens. Zeus felt that they were looking down on him. They were unlucky. Zeus was petty and jealous. How could he tolerate their behavior? It was better to mind their own business.”
Heracles was about to leave when a strong wind blew over and blew off Ayis 'veil. Heracles gasped. She had ivory white skin, a delicate nose under her deep blue eyes, and a pair of supple lips that were rosy. She did not wear any makeup, but she was as beautiful as a fairy from the mortal world. She was so pure that it made people love her.
"All the gods of Olympus are inferior to him. They don't have such temperament. If the Goddess of Beauty Aphrodite sees this, she will be furious.”Heracles was amazed by her stunning beauty.
Hearing Ayis's plea, Heracles waved his hand in the direction of the sky. The clear sky was immediately covered with dark clouds, and it rained heavily.
The entire Babylon cheered."It's raining, thank the Almighty God. Long live Princess Ais, long live King Nebuchadnezzar.”
Ayis also stood up excitedly and turned around with a smile. This smile was simply alluring and mesmerizing, making Heracles deeply drunk again.
Ayis's chief maid, Mortila, noticed that the princess 'veil had fallen off and quickly went forward to fix it. "The wind is getting stronger and blew off the princess 'veil. Fortunately, everyone is busy catching the rain!”
"Haha! I was so happy that I forgot." Ayis 'sweet voice sounded again. This woke Heracles up. He clutched his chest and muttered,""What's wrong with my heart? Why is it beating so fast? It must be…it must be because I'm too tired. How was he going to explain this to Zeus? Forget it, who cares. It wasn't like he hadn't done anything against Zeus before.”Heracles regained his indifferent expression, still lonely and sorrowful. He turned around and left slowly.
The dry land of Babylon greedily sucked in the rare nectar, and the entire country cheered and danced.
However, Zeus was furious in the temple of Olympus." What? Babylon has been suffering from drought for a long time. What's going on? Who's going against me?"……”
"What? Heracles again? Why does this child like to be a hero so much? This fellow really owes him." Zeus thought helplessly and sighed in his heart.
"Alright, I wanted to do this anyway. The punishment for Babylon is almost done. Restore their seasons!”Zeus 'expression changed.
