[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

In order to avoid Pluto, who might be angry, being unfavorable to Sappho, Adonis was silent for a long time, and then he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "My respected majesty, I hope that the only precious virtue you have left can be found by the endless whimsy. A resting place where the sun's beloved shade needs no more darkness."

Hades looked at him steadfastly, his green eyes were calmer and deeper than the first condensed amber, like a calm lake with shallow ripples, underneath was the reality that others could not see.

"It's not Your Majesty." After a long time, he casually shifted his gaze, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab a trembling willow branch, his distinct knuckles tightened slightly, and solemnly declared, "It's my husband."

Is this to threaten him?

Although the mournful begging for mercy of the frightened wicker and the persuasion of its helpless companions echoed in his ears, Adonis showed no sign of soft-hearted pleading, and only lowered his eyes. , said coldly without concealing his resistance: "Your Majesty."

Hades debunked, "You don't want to."

A warm smile gradually appeared on the handsome and flawless face of the plant god: "It's true that I don't want to, and it's not the only one."

Since it refers to the inexplicable marriage.

He thought that the arrogant Pluto would walk away on the spot, but Hades just slumped his face as usual. After pondering for a moment, he touched his cheek as a matter of course, and said solemnly: "If you don't want to speak directly But, don’t force yourself.”

Adonis: "..."

——The lethality of these words is far more frightening than the aftermath of the thunder stick that affected him back then.

After Hades finished speaking, he stopped torturing the innocent willow branch and let it return to freedom happily. At the same time, he turned and walked out of the green forest.

Adonis stared at his back suspiciously, probably aware of the doubts contained in it, Pluto thought he explained intimately: "Just one day."

"..."

Adonis couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth—that's really generous.

As the king in charge of Hades, backed by powerful divine power, the aura that Hades exudes is naturally not as simple as the repulsion of the indifferent plant god, but full of deterrence that suffocates and fears living beings.Except for Adonis, who has long been used to this breath, just being glanced at lightly, the oppressive feeling without anger is enough to make one's knees weak, prostrate on the ground, humbly begging for forgiveness.

Buyuti was one of the Nymphs who were suppressed to the point of immobility. When Hades finally left the area, she breathed a sigh of relief in cold sweat, and ran to Adonis aggrieved. The side cried: "Your Highness! If we are destined to hear the unfortunate news, please let it be told from your mouth. The kindness that comes from the master of death is more frightening than the doting of the haze, even if it is a malicious look. It will only convey dullness and depression. Please tell the humble us in the most straightforward and clear words, are we about to suffer more desperate bad luck?"

Adonis, who was still a little absent-minded, glanced at her: "You are?"

Buyuti: "..."

Adonis didn't expect that when he saw the embarrassed water fairy who suddenly appeared, he reflexively questioned the identity of the other party, and he would get a weeping expression in exchange.

After the battered Buyuti regained his mood and repeated the question, Adonis shook his head: "No."

If even this small piece of territory could be coveted, it wouldn't be Hades who was famous for his virtues because he would condescend to avoid the Netherland according to the results of the lottery, and at the same time possess the strength not inferior to the god king Zeus up.

The next moment Adonis noticed that the entire forest, listening with bated breath, seemed to rejoice with this assurance.

Is Pluto that unpopular?

This cognition made him unavoidably surprised, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but it was hard to explain.

In all fairness, Hades's performance on the throne is impeccable, aside from being extremely unreasonable in the events related to him.Whether it is the sincere following and admiration of his subordinates, he is different from Poseidon, who is more or less intervened by Zeus, who dominates the sea and storms. Because of the combination of uncontested and tyrannical strength that cannot be ignored, Olympus No matter how much the gods fear him, they dare not easily offend his jurisdiction, and he also manages the supposedly gloomy and cold underworld in an orderly manner, so that the wicked will be severely punished, and the good will live in a paradise...

Adonis thought to himself, ignored Buyuti, who was hesitant to speak, and didn’t know how she stared at him full of admiration, paced to the wicker that had almost suffered a disaster, and comforted him Touch to ask about its condition.

Just listening to its voice, on the one hand, it is flattered, on the other hand, it is extremely excited: "Thank you for your concern, because you are not here, my companions and I are sick and depressed, but that terrible majesty has no malice. In a moment of terror and bewilderment, I did not notice the blessings that fell from generosity."

really.

Adonis, who confirmed the guess in his heart, smiled unconsciously, and was about to let go of it to see the myrrh tree guarded by vines deep in the core, when a sharp pain came from the back of his head without warning, making him defenseless He grunted in pain, lost consciousness instantly, and fell to the ground.

The nymphs opened their mouths wide: "..."

The plants forgot to shake the leaves: "..."

The golden apple that fell from the sky was completely frightened. It couldn't even detect the stares that could poke it into a sieve from all directions. It shivered and burrowed into the arms of the unconscious plant god until it disappeared. The Pluto appeared indistinctly, and bound Gao Xuan tightly with his divine power, only to belatedly realize that something was wrong.

Locked by the piercing sight of Dione, the goddess of ice and sea, this golden apple, which caused a catastrophe, quickly turned its eyes for help to the beautiful god with the most intimate and gentle breath, but found painfully that only Some glimmers of life have been cut off by themselves, how can the unconscious plant god take shelter from them?

"O honorable master who rules the underworld, even though my sins are too serious to be washed away, please listen to the reasons for my self-destruction, so that I can gain comfort from these few words that clarify the truth before I die."

Knowing that it was futile, it had to explain, but before it could say a few words weakly, the chasing soldiers arrived just in time.

The first to arrive was Hera, the domineering queen.

She obviously came following the golden apple that fled boldly under the connivance of the god king Zeus. The fine clothes she wore to attend the wedding banquet of the human hero were messed up by the wind on the road, and the corners of her tightly pursed lips were split like a farmer's. Thin dry wood, arrogant and dry.

When she saw her elder brother who rarely stepped out of Hades sitting quietly on the grass, she couldn't help frowning, but after seeing Adonis lying peacefully on his side with his neck resting on his lap, she couldn't help but frown again. Can't hold back the expression.

"Dear brother," she took a deep breath and said in a high-pitched voice, even the golden apples that were close at hand could not attract her attention, "What kind of dark clouds cover Liri, what kind of veils cover the clear mind .It's just—”

The impassioned tone came to an abrupt end, and she suddenly opened her bull's eyes wide, and walked a few steps closer in disbelief, almost condescendingly leaning over to look carefully at the so handsome plant god that even she was a little dazzled, After a while, he lost his voice and called out: "The Godhead of the Empress of the Underworld!"

"Queen of the Underworld?"

Venus and Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, came one step later. After catching this incredible term, they immediately swallowed back the words they just wanted to laugh at the arrogant and arrogant Queen's strange gesture, and looked at each other with a look at each other. The other party saw profound horror in their eyes.

Hades lightly touched Adonis' soft and warm lips with his fingertips, even stinging a glance at his not-so-close sister.With the natural close connection between the godheads of Pluto and Queen of Hades, he already knew that Queen of Hades was fine, otherwise the golden apples would have been crushed into dust that even the Hades could not enter, not to mention getting a chance to appeal.

It's just that some are greedy for the cuteness of him holding back the sharp thorns at this moment, and simply let the flow wait for the other party to wake up naturally, without taking other measures.

The arrival of the three goddesses failed to make Pluto, who was staring intently at Adonis, move the frosty eyebrows and eyes, and it was also the neglect and unkindness that was perfectly expressed, which caused Hera to resentfully stop making high-spirited speeches for a while. .

"Oh," after seeing Hades who captured Pluto's heart was madly admired by her, and caused her to suffer and humiliate, Venus, who can't let go of it now, has very complicated emotions, but this does not prevent her from looking at herself. The extremely tall Hera sneered a few words: "This is a woman who makes the most dexterous lips and tongues look clumsy, and the most delicate brushes are all for faithfully depicting the beauty in trouble, enough to match the laurel crown of the queen of the underworld. My opponent, I am also willing to withdraw from this doomed war." She said, and looked meaningfully at Hera, who was humiliated and tight-faced: "Then, as a noble model who guards marriage, is it right for the Queen of Heaven? Do you want to tear this perfect marriage apart in a human way?"

"Stop your tongue that only slanders and flatters other people's husbands." Hera was in a state of confusion, but still responded unceremoniously: "You can put away the extra flair, there is no blind eye who loves graceful figures here. Your spoils of war. Even gods should follow the laws of gods, leaving aside the insignificant beauty, how can a——” a male god of humble origins arrogantly steal the status that does not belong to him.After all, she dared not finish this sentence that was likely to offend her brother.

Venus covered her lips and smiled more and more proudly. Recently, her lover Ares has disappeared, but it is too ridiculous to insist that she has no ministers under her skirt: "It is indeed my fault to talk about this. For the Queen, the beauty that haunts her dreams is the past that has long been parted like water."

Athena looked at them with great interest, and did not join in hastily, but politely asked Pluto, who was meeting for the first time: "The supreme ruler of the underworld, it is not our intention to disturb your precious rest, but I came here under the guidance of the king of gods, in order to continue to find the right candidate for arbitration, can you allow me to retrieve this golden apple from the queen of the underworld?"
