Give Me the Name of God

Hermes returned to the temple, looked at the panicked God Pan, and touched his forehead: "Don't be afraid, I chatted with your uncle who likes blacksmithing for a while, and I wonder if he did something fake. The artifact was delivered to the human world.”

"Are you saying that the double snake staff in the opponent's hand is fake?" God Pan looked happy. Hephaestus had successfully imitated the double snake staff. The fake was in Manda's hand. Perhaps he had copied more than one. One stick.

"You also know that uncle, he is always crazy. I hate crazy people very much. I am too lazy to talk to him. I don't know whether what he said is true. Regardless of whether the artifact is true or false, the person pretending to be me must not As long as I stay in this world, the reputation I have worked so hard to accumulate must not be destroyed in his hands."

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to go to the mortal world in person, but I have just sat on the throne and my seat is not yet stable. I cannot leave Mount Olympia easily during this period."

"You don't need to do this yourself. Give me three days." As long as he is sure that it is not Hermes, God Pan can be confident in dealing with a mortal, even a wandering god in the mortal world.

"Don't be so confident," Hermes sneered, "The other party got my blood from somewhere and also has my skills. You may not be his opponent."

"Father, you underestimate me," Pan said feeling humiliated.

"Just think that I underestimated you. If you can pass my test, I will give this task to you."

"What kind of test?"

"It's very simple. Since that impostor has my blood, he probably has the same skills as me. Although he can't compare with me in terms of strength, you must at least have a way to deal with it.

From now on until this time tomorrow, I want you to keep an eye on me and keep track of my whereabouts. Can you do it? "

Pan Shen thought for a while and did not dare to boast easily: "Father, your speed is too fast. If you don't limit your range of movement, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you."

"Of course the scope must be limited," Hermes pointed to his feet and said, "I will not leave this temple, and you just need to ensure that I am always in your sight. Can you do it?"

Pan Shen blinked: "This seems a bit too simple."

"Then let's start now." Hermes smiled and continued to draw the star map on the cloud, but this time he did not use a clone.

As midnight approached, Pan's eyes never left Hermes.

After sketching on the star map for a long time, Hermes stretched and looked at Pan: "If you are tired, go take a nap. I will not take advantage of others."

Pan knew that this was Hermes' trick: "Don't worry, father, it doesn't matter if you don't sleep for a day, and it doesn't matter if you don't sleep for a year."

"That's true," Hermes recalled a past event. "When you were young, you once chased a nymph in the mountains for two months. In the end, the nymph was exhausted and surrendered to you."

Pan Shen blushed: "When I was young, I really didn't know how to restrain myself."

"Do you remember that nymph's name?"

"Well, it's hard to say," Pan Shen recalled, stroking his beard. "I once chased a nymph for half a year. That was the longest one. There were several in two months. I have to think about it carefully. , which god does that nymph belong to?"

"Should belong to Apollo."

"I have some impression of this, let me think about it again..."

Pan Shen fell into the memories of the past, and the slim figures and beautiful faces kept reappearing in his mind.

At dawn the next day, Pan opened his eyes and found that Hermes was no longer in the temple.

Oops, I actually fell asleep!

How could this happen!

Hermes walked in from outside the temple, looked at Pan, and sighed: "You failed the test."

"This was an accident, purely accidental. I only closed my eyes for a moment. You moved too fast and left the temple in the blink of an eye. According to our agreement, you should not have left the temple."

"Just closed your eyes for a moment?" Hermes sighed, took out a silver mirror and handed it to Pan.

Pan looked in the mirror. His face was painted with colorful paint. This was obviously not something that could be done in a blink of an eye.

It seemed that He slept soundly last night, and He had no idea where Hermes had gone or what he had done.

"By the time you meet that impostor in the human world, I'm afraid you'll be dead."

Pan lowered his head and did not dare to say another word of defense. Hermes said: "Call Athena. You two will monitor me together today to see if I can succeed."

Pan Shen whispered: "Father, do you still trust her? Do you want to send her to the mortal world?"

"I let her live to this day because she can still be of some use." As he spoke, Hermes took off his boots and poured out some sand and gravel. "The world is very dangerous. We need to kill the impostors. To avoid the Lord of Divine Punishment, it would be safer for the two of you to go together."

God Pan called Athena and learned about Hermes' test. Athena did not dare to neglect and specially wore a lightweight battle suit. Her heroic spirit made him look particularly attractive.

"Brother's problems are not that easy to deal with. He used a reed flute to deceive the Hundred-Eyed Giant out of his life. It's not too difficult to deceive you." Athena scattered a lot of olive leaves in the hall. , these olive leaves are equipped with mechanisms. As long as they are touched, they will immediately alert Athena.

"I'm different," Athena said with a proud face, "If you want to deceive me, I'm afraid my brother will have to put more effort into it."

Late at night, Hermes slept directly in the hall. Pan sat at the door of the hall and said to Athena: "If you feel tired, we can take turns to rest."

"How could I be tired?" Athena shook her head and said, "As long as I look at Him, I can never sleep."

Pan asked something: "Why did the gods send the artifacts to the mortal world in the first place?"

"Send it away? Why do you think it's a gift?"

Pan Shen said in surprise: "That's what the gods say."

Athena smiled: "I almost forgot. You had already died at that time. I don't know what happened on the mountain. The gods did not send the artifact to the mortal world voluntarily. It was an order from my father. Why my father did this, I can't understand. , but I managed to keep the Scepter of Wisdom, and my brother definitely wanted to keep the Staff of Two Snakes, but for some unknown reason, he failed. I am still curious, and this shouldn’t be that difficult for him.”

"It failed... No wonder my father said that the artifact was lost," Pan thought for a moment and then asked, "How did you deceive Zeus?"

"I have no way of deceiving my father, but I have many loyal believers in the mortal world. I first gave the scepter to a believer, and then used the oracle to induce her to sacrifice the scepter to me... …”

Athena told Pan the story of that year.

At dawn the next day, Hermes woke the two of them.

Pan bowed his head again, full of regret and guilt, and made a profound self-examination to Hermes.

Athena was scrubbing the paint off her face in the pool: "He is so ugly, so he just painted it. Can you do the same to my beautiful face?"

Hermes took off his boots and poured out the gravel: "Two useless people, I can only find her. Go call Apate."

Apata, the god of deception, arrived at the temple of Hermes.

"If you three can't keep an eye on me, I can only go to the mortal world myself, otherwise I will die if I ask you to go there."

The three of them didn't dare to speak or blink, and stared at Hermes intently.

At dawn the next day, Athena and Pan woke up from their sleep one after another. Hermes sat between them, dumbfounded.

Pan continued to review, and Athena went directly to the sink to wash her face, which made her face turn red.

Only Apate looked calm and said: "Lord of the Gods, you left the temple last night and violated the previous agreement. Based on this, we should be considered to have passed the test."

Hermes was cleaning his boots: "You have to admit your defeat and don't talk nonsense."

Apat said: "When the moon rose to the sky, you left the palace. At dawn, you came back. During this period, I left an hourglass on your table. The hourglass recorded the time of your departure. .”

Hermes came to the table and found an hourglass among a pile of debris. The scale on the hourglass was exactly the same as the time described by Apate.

Apate, the god of deception, is the only god who has passed the test.

But now the question came, Hermes asked: "You knew I left the temple, why didn't you chase me?"

"There's no way I can catch up with you. You're going too fast. I can't even see the direction you're leaving."

Because of his military exploits, Apate has just been promoted to a fifth-level god. His strength is far from that of Hermes.

"There is no other way," Hermes sighed, "Rather than embarrass you, why don't I go there myself!"
