Ares does not want to fall in love [Greek mythology]

Ares didn't know what he was laughing at and asked him.Adonis asked without answering: "Do you think our relationship is the same as that of Zeus and Hera?"

Ares was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It's the same. Although we don't have an actual marriage relationship, we will always be together!"

Only then did Adonis realize that the "relationship" he said was ambiguous, but Ares stuffed a mouthful of honey, which was so sweet that he lost his voice for a while.

Seeing that Adonis didn't continue the topic, Ares hurriedly reflected whether he had said something wrong, and he corrected him: "Oh, if you're talking about another kind of 'relationship', it's different—we don't fight like they often Contradictions, my relationship with you has always been very good!" At the end, I was a little proud.

Adonis felt the slightly rising tail sound like a fluffy tail on his heart. He hugged his lovely lover and whispered: "Yeah, so what are you worried about? I will always be with you."

Ares' heart was pounding, and his ears were red again.

Gregory poked his head out of the cabin and saw the two male gods hugging each other inseparably, and was speechless for a moment.If it wasn't for the panic in the cabin that hadn't calmed down, he would have thought that what he had just experienced was his illusion.Look, this pair of young people who are not afraid of death are still talking about love on the deck!

Ares saw Gregory, glanced away and looked away, not intending to push his lover away.

What Gregory wants to do has nothing to do with him, he hasn't hugged enough yet!

Gregory couldn't hear Ares's voice. He didn't see the two figures in the cabin just now. Because he was worried about their safety, he boldly probed outside, but he didn't expect to be ignored.Immediately, he used the tone of an elder, and taught the two young people who had no sense of propriety: "You two come in quickly, you have just experienced danger, you should be careful!"

The siren who was pushing the boat in the water had extraordinary hearing, and vaguely heard what Gregory said with a loud voice, and couldn't help being surprised: It would be dangerous if she was outside, and Ari, the god of war, scared her so much that she couldn't move. What is it?

Today is really a day to confuse sirens.

With the help of Proto and the Siren, the merchant ship quickly sailed into the waters of Athens.The endless ocean is still the same blue, but the mood of the passengers is clearly excited.Even though they are used to the boring life on the ship, they still yearn for the prosperity of Athens and look forward to the short-term liberation after landing.

Seeing that they were about to arrive in Athens, Haining and Siren had completed their mission. They took advantage of the dark night to say goodbye to the two male gods and disappeared into the vast deep sea.

The next day, the merchant ship successfully docked at the port of Athens.

As an economically developed city-state, Athens' sea transportation is very convenient, and even the docks are built very boldly.Rows of merchant ships were moored there, like soldiers standing with their heads held high, waiting for the officer's inspection.

When Ares got off the boat, he felt that his feet became stable as soon as they hit the ground, not as vain as he was on the boat.If possible, he still likes the feeling of being on land.But their final destination was Sparta.Ares does not intend to stay in this city that believes in Athena.

The two male gods inquired with several other merchant ships to see when the fastest ship to Sparta would leave, but regretfully learned that a merchant ship went to Sparta just the day before yesterday, and they had to wait for another three days.

Ares doesn't like to wait, but Adonis always has a way to turn waiting into a new kind of travel.He was willing to overcome his impatience, wait a little longer, and walk around with Adonis.

The two agreed to wait another three days in Athens, and then followed the bustling flow of people to the Acropolis.At the gate of the city, they met Gregory who had just finished moving the goods.

The enthusiastic Gregory asked about their situation and heard that they had no place to live in Athens, so he graciously invited them to live in his home.Ares liked Gregory quite a bit, and the two of them always chatted very congenially.The new type of weapon they talked about last time, Ares hadn't listened to him thoroughly, so he agreed unceremoniously.

Adonis looked slightly cold, like a brown bear in the deep forest, whose sweet honey was taken away by outsiders.

While leading the two male gods home, Gregory introduced his family situation and family members to them.He is a businessman, he runs his own business, does some small business, and his family still has some spare money.Usually when he sails overseas, there are only his wife and son who is about to grow up at home.Fortunately, his wife is virtuous, his son is intelligent, and his life is quite enjoyable.

Arriving at Gregory's home, Ares met his wife.Sure enough, as he said, he is very good at housekeeping, and keeps the small house in order. He is not unfamiliar with the two guests invited by his husband, and he is not overly enthusiastic. Everything is well managed.

However, Gregory noticed the distress on his wife's face. He looked around and asked, "Where's Nick? Are you arguing with someone outside again?"

Nick is the name of Gregory's son. This name is full of his father's expectations. The ambitious Gregory hopes that his son will become a "winner", not limited to any aspect, but at least one aspect stand out.Nick is indeed up to the mark. His knowledge and eloquence are well-known in Athens, but some young people are arrogant and often debate with others in public, which has caused a lot of trouble.

Gregory only thought that his son was in trouble again, and he was planning to entertain the guests so he could understand the situation with his wife.However, the wife who had always been strong seemed to have been poked into a soft clam, her lips moved, and tears fell down.

Gregory hastily wiped his wife's tears with his big rough hands, and asked her about the situation.Under her husband's reassurance, the woman's emotions gradually stabilized, and she felt ashamed to cry in front of two strange guests: "I wanted to talk to you alone, but you asked about Nick, I It was as if my heart had been scalded in boiling water. My dear Gregory, you have no idea how much I have been through during this time!"

Gregory only felt that his heart was being seized fiercely. It was definitely not a small thing to make his wife lose her composure!At this time, Gregory didn't care about entertaining the guests anymore, and asked his wife about Nick's recent situation.

It turned out that Gregory's son was sick, and it was a strange disease.He went out to participate in the debate that day. When he left, he still looked high-spirited, but when he came back, he was forced into the house by someone, and he has been lying on the bed ever since.

When Nick got sick, there was no sign of pain, just numbness.It seems that his soul and body have been separated. In his eyes, the mother who loves him can see traces of pain, but he cannot control his body.The only thing he could move was his mouth.

It was also from that mouth that Gregory's wife discovered another symptom of him: he seemed to be getting smaller day by day, and he was giving back the time he had experienced to time day by day.Now he is just like when he was a child, he would tell her that he wanted candy in a coquettish tone.But her heart was occupied by an ominous omen.She has heard the footsteps of Death, the ruthless Death is about to pick up her Nick.

Gregory asked, "Did you see a doctor?", and strode into the room to see how his son was doing.Adonis and Ares looked at each other, followed them, and said, "I know a little bit of medical skills, let me see." As a plant god, he is proficient in various herbs, and there is nothing wrong with saying "know a little bit of medical skills" .

Gregory invited people into the room.His wife was hesitant to speak, apparently having little confidence in the two young men.But she had called all the doctors in the city, and no one could cure Nick, so she could only hit luck.

The four of them walked into Nick's room, and saw that the windows were bright and clean, and everything was well taken care of by this virtuous wife.A bouquet of flowers was in full bloom on the window sill, and the colors were lively, but it made the young man lying on the bed look thin and lifeless.

Seeing his son's pitiful appearance, Gregory stepped forward a few steps and held his skinny hand, his eyes turned red instantly.He is a cheerful father, but he doesn't know how to cheer up his spirit in front of his lifeless son.

Adonis walked over and looked carefully at Nick on the bed|.His expression was a little dignified, and he called Ares over again, asking him to take a closer look.

Gregory and his wife Qiqi held their breaths, seeing that these two young men didn't even have a basic investigation, they always suspected that these two people had no medical skills at all, but felt that their eyes were full of determination, no Like someone who can brag about this kind of thing.

After thinking for 2 minutes, Ares came to a conclusion: "This is Athena's curse."

Adonis nodded, agreeing with Ares.On Nick's body, he felt a faint divine power.That divine power wandered in Nick's body, not protecting but destroying.It damaged Nick's brain, gradually degraded his thinking ability, and his memory returned to the past.This destructive power is related to the wisdom of Athena.And Ares had fought against Athena before, and he knew better about the divine power of that goddess, so he made a clear judgment.

"Athena?" Gregory heard the discussion between the two, and felt ridiculous: "How could the noble goddess of wisdom curse my Nick, we are all her most devout believers!"

He suspected that these two godless young men were making fun of the goddess of wisdom, which made him sullen both from the perspective of a father and the perspective of a believer.He even suspected that his enthusiasm had been given to the wrong person. If these two young people were indeed teasing him on purpose, he would sweep them out with a broom to clean up the trash!

Gregory's wife was stunned, she sat down on the bed, and said quietly: "We are the most devout believers of the goddess of wisdom, but Nick may not be..." She remembered the day when the accident happened, and Nick's eyes brightened She looked at her and said, "Mom, I will prove to you that I am right. If the gods are unkind, we might as well believe in ourselves!"

Her Nick would ask her when she was very young: "Mom, we often pray to Athena, but have our wishes come true?" The war seven years ago was a conspiracy of the goddess of wisdom, and human beings are just insignificant pawns on the chessboard.

He once said such rebellious words... Could it be that those unwise words angered the goddess who guarded Athens?

How can they bear the anger of the goddess of wisdom?

Thinking of this, the woman's heart seemed to have fallen into a frozen lake, extremely cold.
