[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

The ill-fated young man is named Ion, and the story he tells next is either long or short.From the perspective of ordinary people, he is definitely lucky, but an outcast who was brought up by the temple, inexplicably won the favor of the childless King of Athens, and even said that he followed the lofty will of the God of Light, and was ecstatic The land will adopt him as a noble son.

He who had never seen a blood relative with his own eyes did not know how envious he was of family happiness, but now that an excellent opportunity was in front of him, he suddenly smelled some uneasiness.Like a hungry hare longingly looking at the fresh and tender grass emerging out of thin air, even if he is very willing in his heart, he dare not take a step easily, lest he will be careless and step on the beast trap set by the hunter.

But I couldn't help but feel that this wariness was ridiculous - I was just a poor and white orphan, so what was there to be plotted by the noble man who had everything?

He is also playing the wrong game. If another audience is changed, he will only think that he is either showing off, or blind and ignorant, but the Pluto and his wife, who are familiar with the essence of the gods of Olympus, know that this beautiful thing actually came from the God of Light. When they were matched, they immediately guessed the truth that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

Adonis squeezed the cold hand lightly, and blinked at Hades, who looked over silently, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Hades enjoyed this tacit understanding very much in his heart, and he only pinched back calmly on the surface, confirming his guess.

It's really unusual for Apollo to be so enthusiastic. The young man in front of him with a hint of divine power in his body is probably the illegitimate child of his romantic nature.

As for why the king was chosen by coincidence, I was afraid to ask the other party's wife who might not be faithful.

The silent exchange between them ended in the blink of an eye, completely unnoticed by the troubled confidant.He was frowning and wanted to add something. Adonis, who had already made up his mind, smiled slightly and said against his will: "Since it is the revelation of the God of Light, this beautiful thing must have been blessed by him. You can Put aside your scruples and open your mind to welcome the arrival of good luck."

Ion was stunned for a moment, and then showed reverence and piousness on his face, which was vaguely mixed with shame and nothingness. He made a long bow to the spotless altar, then turned around, and thanked them gratefully. : "Thanks for waking up, I carelessly forgot this crucial point! It's no wonder that this heavy kindness suddenly fell from the sky and knocked me out of my eyes. It's just that this superfluous suspicion is worse than the dense fog in the morning." Be thick, and blind your supposedly clear head..."

Adonis sent the thankful Ion away with a few words, turned his face to look at Hades, his black and white beautiful eyes shone slightly, and there was a smile on his beautiful diamond lips: "See you tomorrow look?"

Hades stared intently, and hummed casually.

The two left the temple, and the God of Plants casually asked the shy tulip on the roadside to let it go to the road that pointed to the nearest forest, and walked in that direction with Hades stepping on the moonlight without any haste.

Pluto has always had a dull personality, even if he is facing the one he loves the most, and he has just left his seldom-leaved official duties for him, he specially arranged a long vacation, and he can't become talkative for a while, full of tenderness, Ah Donis intentionally or unintentionally led him to talk: "Their manners in this regard are exactly the same lewd and uninhibited."

He lost his memory, and he didn't know that Apollo was once bewildered by his appearance and had plots. He was only impressed by the undisguised covetousness in the eyes of the king of gods and the endless tough pursuit of the god of love and beauty. The God of Light doesn't know much about it.After witnessing a romantic debt that was left over, he couldn't help but think about Apollo's biological sister, the moon god, one of the famous virgin goddesses. in the palace.

Hades hummed first, afraid that the answer would be too simple to make him unhappy, so he added a redundant sentence: "It has always been like this."

Adonis: "Are they all this heartless to mortals who have but a moment's fascination?"

Hades pondered for a moment, and said: "If it is extremely in line with your wishes, and you don't get tired of it for a while, most of them will be taken away by force, and then you will be given eternal life."

It's just that compared with the countless lovers of the gods, even if they have a rare good color, there are really not many who can win this honor.

Due to amnesia, he didn't know that he had been robbed by a serious opponent, Adonis just nodded, and asked the question he had been curious about all along: "Would a traveler who just wants to taste a few crystal clear grapes Those who intend to move the entire vine to a beautiful palace. However, there are many people who are willing to take good care of it, just like a beautiful woman who is abandoned by the gods also has sincere servants. Will they allow themselves to be unable to incite their emotions? Are Homura's old lovers looking for a good place to live?"

Hades put all his attention on the gentle little hand that was holding him unconsciously. Hearing this, he paused for a while and explained gently: "No. If it wasn't for Apollo's hindrance, they wouldn't have been without it all the time. son."

Even though he looked down on the pretty Athenian princess, Apollo couldn't bear her betrayal by marrying someone else under the arrangement of her father.

"Selfish and unfeeling." Adonis frowned slightly in disgust, and said in a low voice: "Everyone is a rascal who is full of lies, despicably plundering the purity of women through deceit, temptation and power, and after obtaining sweet pleasure, They also forced them to offer their lifelong chastity and happiness together.”

It seems that the status is more respected than Apollo, but the lord of the underworld who can bear the word of cleanliness is commendable.

Hades didn't know that the bad deeds of his brothers and nephews, which he was used to seeing, helped him a little bit, which made him more attractive in the hearts of his lovers. Seeing Adonis's unhappy face, he knew he couldn't bear it, so he immediately relieved: " Entrusting this matter to me will definitely make his plans come to naught.”

Only Pluto, who blindly spoils the god of plants, would respond swiftly to this matter, which is destined to embarrass the god of light and seriously offend him.

Adonis's heart was suddenly soft, and the place where the warm current from the depths flowed slowly was scorching fiercely, like a tired traveler listening to the melodious tune played by a reed, dispelling a little bit of depression, and like a lost man The cattle and sheep accidentally came to a plump field, and their beautiful eyebrows stretched out.

He smiled and said, "No need."

The reason why he didn't tell Ion the truth was not purely for watching the show.No matter how unsophisticated he is, he still knows that in the eyes of this devout believer of the sun god, he is just an unidentified outsider, and rashly telling the bad truth is far less credible than weaving a good lie.

Whether or not to interfere in this matter depends entirely on the mood.

The God of Plants has never had a soft heart of compassion, and he can get a few words of concern from him. Except for the plants that are kind by nature, the only one who has officially gained a place in his heart recently is Pluto.

After the absurd scene at that banquet, his impression of the Olympus family has fallen to the bottom. Having had similar experiences, he can't help feeling vaguely empathetic. , and gave birth to the king who adopted the illegitimate child born by the God of Light and his wife with vague mercy.

With this weight alone, it is absolutely impossible to compare with the importance of Pluto in his mind.Even knowing that Hades had no fear of offending the sun god, Adonis didn't want him to get into trouble for no reason.

"It's okay." Hades said, his heart moved, and he had a rare insight, and took the opportunity to hold his hand tightly.

"..." Adonis struggled instinctively, and quickly forced himself to relax. While letting him hold it submissively, he tilted his head slightly, and gazed tenderly at his deep dark green eyes.

"My dear Majesty, what's the matter?"

He asked with a smile, his tone was soft and sweet, his dark pupils reflected the shining stars in the sky, mixed with intimacy and cunning, more radiant than the monotonous silver moon.

Hades suddenly choked in his chest, leaned over as if bewitched, leaned his slender neck, and kissed the white and soft back of his hand like a drop of water, and then slowly continued the topic just now as if nothing had happened: "He If you have any objections, you can come to Hades personally."

It is conceivable that Apollo, who had just paid a huge price to escape from that purgatory, could not be so stupid as to repeat the same mistakes for this little emotional dispute.

As soon as he kept his handsome face, the smiling Adonis joked unceremoniously: "I don't know if the wise and respectable Majesty Pluto has had a few dewy marriages like his brother? "

Hades breathed stagnantly, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes, and he looked at him steadily.

Seeing his funny reaction, Adonis smiled unknowingly in his eyes, couldn't help but intensified, took a small step towards him, tiptoed his feet, and said in his ear pretending to be sad: " Hmm? His Majesty didn't say a word, it seems that it happened."
