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

With this mentality in mind, Ares was more active than Adonis early the next morning, and woke up his sleeping lover early. The two packed their luggage and left the businessman's house without saying goodbye to Gregory and his wife. Home.

In the bustling city of Athens, there is nothing money can't buy.The two male gods quickly found a quiet courtyard, paid a rent, and immediately moved into the house.

There is a large courtyard outside the house, just right for events.Ares doesn't like to squeeze in crowds, so he competes with Adonis and spends time in hearty fights.Go out to find food when you are hungry, and hug each other in bed when you are sleepy.Two days passed like this.

The third day of waiting finally came. Ares was very happy. He was thinking about going to the pier early when he heard a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

The two male gods looked at each other, but did not go to open the door.

The knock on the door stopped for a while, and then it rang again, accompanied by a greeting: "Dear god of war and god of plants, I am Nick, the son of the sea merchant Gregory, please listen to the voice of your humble believer! "

Adonis saw no need for them to open the door.For Gregory's care, they have given enough generous rebates.They have no intention of interfering unduly in human life.

Ares is also not interested in dealing with mortal troubles.When the knocking on the door stopped, he went back to his room to get his luggage, invited Adonis, and prepared to set off to the pier.

Unexpectedly, Nick, who was unwilling to give up, was still squatting at the door, and when he saw them, he came up to them, eager and respectful Dominic said: "Dear god of war and god of plants, thank you for your rescue, and let me regain my life. Please know that in this city of Athens, not only me, but also other poor people suffering from the curse, they long for the gift of the gods to rescue them from the abyss of pain!"

Ares heard the meaning of his words and couldn't help frowning.He didn't expect Athena to be such a narrow-minded goddess, who would take someone's life just because someone said something bad.If it were him, wouldn't it mean that there were not many human beings in the world slaughtered?

However, human life and death are as insignificant to the gods as a grain of sand.Ares also listened, and had no intention of answering.

Seeing his indifference, Nick gritted his teeth, and chased after him: "Two gods, I beg you to give me a gift. This is an easy task for you, but it is a new life for us!"

Ares was a little strange: "You should have heard my rumors? Am I a good-tempered god?"

Nick didn't expect that he would ask himself such a question, and for a moment he didn't know whether to flatter him against his sincerity, or to tell this male god that his violent temper was known to everyone in the world.

Didn't get an answer, and Ares didn't care, and continued: "Adonis gave you a new life, you should cherish it instead of bothering us with your rare new life. You are annoying like this. If you follow me, I will beat you .”

Nick's eyes flickered, he was afraid of this male god with brute force, but he needed his help.He said firmly: "You beat me up. I don't know how many words I can say before you beat me to death, but I still want to fight for my partners, because they also want to have a new life!"

"We are all guilty of spreading unfavorable remarks against the goddess of wisdom, but what we say is the truth, and there is no lie. We speak out for justice, and we should not die for it! Two gods, please help us !"

Ares still rejected him for a simple reason: "I don't, it's too much trouble."

Nick, who was rejected, felt dizzy for a while, but he still refused to give up.He thought, if "compassion" can't impress these two male gods, what about "interest"?

Nick, who was eager to make up his mind, said loudly: "Dear God of War, this matter is very troublesome, but it is also beneficial to you! I think Athena, who was the instigator of the war seven years ago, must have not communicated with you!" Otherwise There is no need to be so troublesome to start a moderate war: "Facing this goddess who despises you, don't you intend to take revenge on her?"

Ares finally cast his eyes on him, and he said seriously: "How do you know that I didn't take revenge on her?"

Hearing this, Nick's shoulders slowly relaxed, as if his strength had been taken away, and his eyes lost hope.But I heard Ares say: "However, you reminded me that it is indeed in my interest to fight against her."

Nick didn't understand the contradictions among these gods very well, he only knew that he had made the right bet, that Ares, the god of war, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, were really at odds!

Adonis heard what Ares said.The male god, who hadn't provoked others for a long time, was about to extend his provocative hand to Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

That's right.

Ares' eyes gradually shone.

He suddenly thought that if he destroyed Athena's plot, the furious Athena would definitely come to trouble him, and he could have a quick fight with her!Although the goddess always likes to say some twists and turns when fighting, but in the case of his lack of opponents, it is better than nothing.

Athena, who was talking and laughing with Zeus in the Temple of Thunder, didn't know that Ares, who was wandering in the world, wanted to trouble her, and his purpose was very clear, just to attract her hatred and beat her up again.

In order to reduce the troubles of the gods, Nick hurried to his friend's house after obtaining the consent of Ares.He will ask his friend's family to bring the unfortunate friend to the residence of the two male gods, and the two male gods will rescue him.

After Nick left, Ares was quite puzzled: "Did Gregory not explain it clearly to him?"

Adonis didn't understand what he was referring to, so he asked.I just heard Ares say: "Why did he ask me for help with a clear goal? You were the one who pulled out Athena's power, and you were the one who helped him regain his mobility."

Adonis answered irrelevantly: "He is a wise man."

Even though Adonis was speaking of Nick, Ares still felt that his intellect was being scorned.Is he not smart enough?He still didn't understand what Nick was thinking.

Seeing Ares' thoughts, Adonis sighed and revealed the answer fondly: "Because he knows that as long as I get your consent, I will definitely support it to the end."

Ares froze for a moment, suddenly realized.Think about the way the two of them get along, as if it has always been like this.He's in charge of making the decisions, taking Adonis on a rampage.No matter how many dangers, no matter how difficult, Adonis never said no.

Ares suddenly felt a little guilty, and he was aware of his recklessness, he said: "Adonis, in fact, you don't have to indulge me in everything, if I don't do well, you can correct me, I'll listen to you! "

There was a smile in Adonis' eyes. He gently grabbed Ares' hand, but his tone was firm: "You are fine, Ares. Do as you want, and I am willing to support you."

Ares looked at the handsome lover in front of him, his heart was pounding, as if he had got into a little rabbit and was rampaging inside, forcing him to take some action.Stretching his neck, he leaned close to Adonis' face, kissed him, and said happily, "Adonis, I feel the same way about you!"

Not long after, Nick, who went to report the news, came back, followed by a group of humans.They supported young people who looked like dead bodies, and walked all the way through the streets and alleys, attracting a lot of attention.

A group of people walked into the courtyard, and saw two handsome gods sitting by the olive tree in the courtyard, they didn't know what they were talking about, and they all had smiles on their faces.

At first glance, this picture is very lifelike, as if it is no different from their ordinary human life.But the temperament of the two male gods is very solemn, and their gestures are noble, which is indeed the demeanor of the gods.

The people put the cursed person on the grass, bowed their heads, and asked the two gods for help.

Ares took the initiative: "Adonis, I am responsible for pulling out their divine power, and you will give birth to the herbs."

Adonis, liking the collaboration, nodded.

In order to make matters worse, when the divine power was pulled out, Ares' divine power overflowed seriously.Some people with good deeds were locked out of the door, still talking about what kind of strange disease it was, when they saw a burst of red light soaring into the sky, as if a god had descended.A brave man climbed onto the olive tree, peeked at it, and almost didn't fall: "My God, my god, the gods came to the world! The gods are saving people in the garden!"

Ares turned a deaf ear to the screams outside. He walked over one by one, stretched out his hand and pulled out the divine power of the goddess of wisdom, as easily as removing grass leaves from his clothes.

Adonis slowed him down a step, and fed the patients one by one the medicine to restore their strength, and saw their bodies recovering slowly.From the fingers to the limbs, and then to the whole body, health came to them again, making them ecstatic.

Seeing such a scene, the family and friends who helped them come here also burst into tears of joy.They chanted the words "God of War" and "Plant God", and offered their devout beliefs to these two male gods.

The onlookers vaguely heard the name "God of War". Although they didn't know what the relationship between this miracle and the God of War Ares was, they couldn't help but turn pale when they thought of the chaotic situation of the Temple of Military Goddess being destroyed seven years ago. to run.

Suddenly, with a "click", the two doors opened.Nick strode out and told everyone about Athena's revenge and Ares' rescue.

Everyone listened and couldn't help showing an expression of indignation.As early as seven years ago at the harvest celebration, the seeds of doubt had been planted.If it was deception, after witnessing this miracle with their own eyes, they had no choice but to believe it!

The wise goddess not only does not protect her people, but pushes them out as victims, and exacts vengeance on those who do not wish to be sacrificed...

This is their belief? !

If a god can't bring them happiness and well-being, why should they believe in her?

The news flew over the Acropolis quickly like a bird.No matter how pious the belief in Athena was, it gradually crumbled in the face of such facts... In just two days, the city of Athens was transformed into a new sky.
