Chanting for the god Apollo

Volume Two

"Uncle George, what does Zeus want Hephaestus to do?"

George didn't go on talking. He looked at the sky from a distance, and the sky was already getting dark: "It's too late, you should go home, or your family will worry."

Mary, Jack, and Stanley were reluctant, but they couldn't say no to George's serious expression, so they could only be sent back angrily.George drove his own second-hand car and sent several children to the door of the house.

Jack and Stanley lived close together, and they left together. Before leaving, they were still reluctant to part: "Can we continue to listen to the rest?" These two silly children have already regarded listening to the story as a top priority, and even forgot the purpose of visiting the vampire earlier. clean and dry.

George didn't answer, just smiled.Jack and Stanley thought that George agreed, and got out of the car with a cheer.

Only Mary, Mary gave George a parting hug, and then whispered in his ear: "Uncle George, you must be happy. Mary will always remember you, and Pilatus will always be remembered."

George kissed her forehead.

The car set off again, Susan was holding the lyre, watching the sun go away, she couldn't help but want to cry.She had a premonition that the time to part was not far away, but she still wanted to hear the last story, so she choked up and asked, "Dad, what happened next?"

"Next..." George slowed down the car and whispered, "I met someone at Cloud Gate."

Hephaestus and Apollo had been away for too long, and Pilatus was a little bored, so he wandered around.Unknowingly, he came to the Cloud Gate again. The billowing dark clouds were still there, but a golden giant emerged from the dark clouds.Needless to say, Pilatus recognized that it must have been written by Hephaestus.

Seeing that the giant is taller than a building, with a big belly that can accommodate people, and a step is only a few meters, it stops in front of Pilatus after passing through the cloud gate.The next moment, the switch on its belly was turned on, and a person jumped down. The other person was startled when he saw Pilatus, but he quickly cleared up his expression. He was handsome and had a bright smile. Feeling disgusted, he asked, "Are you Pilatus?"

"I am... Pilatus."

Everything was expected, the man stretched out his hand and said, "I met Klittier before, and she told me about you."

Thinking of the flower that grows towards the sun, Pilatus couldn't help asking, "Clite, is she okay?"

"do not you know?"

Pilatus: "Know what?"

"She is dead." The man sighed. "Pilatus, it seems that even though Apollo has given you light, you are still blind. Open your eyes, which are clouded by love, and look down. Take a look!"

Pilatus walked to the edge of Olympus, looked through the sea of ​​clouds and fell to the earth.He saw that the flames of war stretched on the Aegean coast, and no place was spared.The Romans conquered Greece with their iron horses, and the flowers were crushed and their stems were trampled under their feet: the blood soaked all the city-states, numbness and sorrow stayed on everyone's faces, and the hostages were handcuffed together like livestock and rushed to Italy... …

"Pilatus, blood has stained every inch of Greece, but you are still drinking and having fun in Olympos, immersed in your own happiness." The man was indignant.

"..." Pilatus was speechless, let alone refute, because his eyes were full of blood.He saw, saw the homeland, the homeland beyond recognition.

Seeing his expression, the other party knew that it was done.He leaned into Pilatus's ear and gently coaxed: "Pilatus, I know that none of this is your fault. But you are also a citizen of Greece, you can't just watch your homeland suffer, you have to go Find the culprit, punish him, get revenge on him."

"Who? Who is the culprit?"

The man said without hesitation: "Zeus, it is Zeus. The blood of Troy has completely aroused his desire for war, and he is in constant commotion. The Romans are the weapons cultivated by his emotions. They are The best warriors will let the blood of war invade every inch of Greece under the will of Zeus."

He whispered in Pilatus's ear, his breath sprayed on Pilatus' neck, and his words snaked straight to the bottom of Pilatus's heart: "Pilatus, the last remnant of Greece, do not forget Your homeland, you want to take revenge on Zeus, and take revenge on these gods who wantonly manipulated the fate of mankind for their own pleasure."

"...If we don't stop these gods who have been devoured by desire, human beings will never be able to control their own destiny, let alone peace."

After he finished his last words, Apollo and Hephaestus just returned.

……

Susan sat on the sofa and asked curiously: "Who is he? Who is that person?"

George was cleaning the lyre when he heard the words, "He...is the son of Aeneas and Dido."

— Auxerre.

Othelsi was obviously familiar with Hephaestus, but Hephaestus obviously did not expect to see him in Olympus: "Why did you come here?"

Othelsi smiled, and said to Hephaestus: "The golden robot you left me is very useful."

Seeing that Hephaestus was so angry that he couldn't speak, Othelsi smiled slyly, and he whispered to Pilatus: "Don't let God know people's plans, we are the one Pilatus, of the country." After speaking, he withdrew from Pilatus, and said with a joke: "Hephaestus, you lied to me, look, I am not the first mortal to climb up. "

Hephaestus looked at the other party, a little disheartened, he was clumsy, and he would never be able to speak Othelse.And when he thought of what Zeus said just now, he felt even more discouraged, and he waved his hand: "Forget it, come with me."

Othelsi followed him and left. Before leaving, he looked back at Pilatus and put his index finger on his lips, signaling "a secret that cannot be told".

Apollo hugged Pilatus and asked in a low voice, "Pilatus, what's the matter?"

Pilatus calmed down: "It's nothing, by the way, Zeus is looking for you, what's the matter with you and Hephaestus?"

Apollo sighed, buried his head on Pilatus' neck, and said in a low voice: "He wants Hephaestus to help him build weapons with greater lethality, and asked me if I could play the war song."

Pilatus was cold all over: "How did you answer him?"

"I refuse." Apollo took out the lyre, Pilatus took it and held it in the palm of his hand, and heard Apollo say: "My lyre will not sing for this war."

Pilatus hugged the lyre tightly, and there was a light white mist floating over his feet.He looked along and saw that it was the sea of ​​clouds set up by the Goddess of Timing to cover the Tianmen, and this sea of ​​clouds would not disperse for many years.

Only once, only once... that time when the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, did Pilatus see its true colors.

Auxerre stayed in the palace of Hephaestus, watching the other party contemplate, he picked up a half-finished mold, looked at it for a while and then put it down, looked at Hephaestus and said with a half-smile: "Why, Is there anything else to worry about?"

Hephaestus: "Othelsi, what is your purpose in going to Olympus?"

Auxerre smiled but did not answer: "Hephaestus, you haven't answered my question yet, what are you worrying about?"

"Zeus asked me to create a more powerful weapon. I don't want anything else, just more death." After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, which was a look of resistance.

Occidental's brows were fixed: "Then what do you think?"

"...I, I don't want to do this." Hephaestus said wearily, holding his forehead: "But I can't refuse him...she...I can't refuse them."

"Zeus, Hera? Or... Aphrodite?" Othelse sighed with a smile: "Hephaestus, you make spears for Zeus, golden and lead arrows for Eros, and golden and lead arrows for Theti. He made armor for Achilles because of the kindness of his upbringing... Can your skillful hands only make weapons?"

"Othelsi, shut your mouth, I know what you want to do?" Hephaestus said angrily.He was upset, but he also knew that what Othelsi said was uneasy and kind.

Occidental sneered: "Then tell me, what do I want to do?"

Hephaestus: "..."

"Othelsi, you need to know that weapons are innocent..." Hephaestus closed his eyes, stopped arguing with Othelse, walked aside, and began to think of ways to make weapons according to Zeus' requirements .

Auxerre wanted to say more, but Pilatus and Apollo arrived.Hephaestus saw Apollo summon him, leaving Pilatus and Auxerre alone.

Seeing Pilatus's expression, Auxerre knew that the seeds he sowed at random had already produced flowers: "Pilatus, you already know?"

"Yes, I understand..." He met Othelsi's gaze directly: "I want to stop Zeus, what can you do?"

"..." Othelsi sneered, "What can I do? Over the years, have you heard stories about people killing gods?"

Pilatus said: "Then you..."

"Pilatus, do you know my name?" said Auxerre. "My name is Auxerre, the son of Aeneas and Dido. I was born without a mother and without a mother." Father. When I grew up, I heard my mother's story, and I knew the reason why Aeneas came and left. Zeus and Hera are the culprits of everything, but none of these gods in Olympus is clean Yes. From the moment I set foot on the journey, I promised myself that I must take revenge on these gods. So I first went to find the fountain of youth, and then climbed Olympus, but I couldn't get in, until I met Hephaestus. He was a loveless god, his mother did not love him, his father did not love him, and his wife betrayed him. On Olympus no one wants to befriend a cripple, but I'm different. So I seduced him..."

Othelsi didn't go any further, he lowered his head, showing a very strange smile: "These gods, they never restrict their minds, act recklessly, and regard the world as their playground, but they have extremely powerful The power of God. Pilatus, I was born for revenge, but the object of my revenge is the gods. This is the most hopeless revenge in the world."

"I feel desperate all the time, but if I give up, I will regret it for the rest of my life. So all I can do now is to keep provoking, constantly provoking...waiting for the day when they will kill themselves..."

Pilatus saw that Hephaestus was negotiating with Apollo. Hephaestus hoped to get some inspiration from Apollo. Latus heard the other party say: "Explosion, incredible explosion, this must satisfy Zeus' needs."

As he spoke, he built a model with his bare hands, which was extremely gorgeous and terrifying.

Pilatus didn't dare to imagine the consequences of this weapon being passed down to Olympus. He pursed his lips and said, "Othelsi, I must stop them."

Othelsea: "How do you want to stop them?"

Pilatus said: "I can't let this thing spread to the human world, Auxerre, I want to destroy the gate connecting Olympos to the human world."

Othelsi was stunned, but soon every muscle on his face moved, showing an expression of ecstasy uncontrollably.It's like a person who has been tortured by life and lost his temper has found hope in life again.But he still retains his reason: "Destroy the gate, what will happen after it is destroyed? How did you know that you can destroy the gate of Olympos?"

"I don't know," Pilatus shook his head, "but...Apollo once told me that the gods cannot live without doors."

——Apollo said, we can do without the door, but we cannot live without it

"How do we destroy it?"

"We need an extremely powerful weapon," said Pilatus.

……

They all looked at Hephaestus.
