[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

To Adonis' surprise, the taciturn God of Hades immediately turned to look at him, and said indifferently: "If you stay here, she will come to pester you again."

He subconsciously glanced in the direction of the God of Love and Beauty. Just now, she was still talking endlessly, but at some point, she had disappeared with her beloved son.

But no one would think that she just gave up.

"Thank you for your generous help." Adonis sighed annoyedly, and directly stated his plan: "I will leave immediately."

After he finished speaking, even he was a little surprised by this frankness, and he couldn't help secretly looking at the Lord of the Underworld who was shrouded in black mist all year round.

Even the ignorant and ignorant plant god who has never left the land called Sappho since his birth has heard of his great reputation. Go, let the green spirits around you avoid the gloomy death, but you want to get close to each other from the bottom of your heart, just like the shining stars clinging to the quiet night that gently sets it off, or like the weak seaweed obsessing With tolerance and tolerance of its blue waters.

Seemingly ignorant of his observing gaze, Underworld Emperor said without hesitation: "If you have nowhere to go, you might as well follow me."

Adonis hesitated for a moment, but still regretfully refused: "Allow me to thank you for your kindness, but the environment of my underworld is not suitable for my people to reproduce. In order to make them live more freely, I have to be ignorant of the good and the bad. .”

He himself has no aversion to the country that the person who fell into eternal sleep goes to, but going to other places for temporary shelter is completely different from accepting the invitation of Hades to live in the Hades for a long time. The people of Sappho cannot escape his shadow for a long time.

The atmosphere fell into a long silence.

Adonis didn't care much about the harassment from Aphrodite that wouldn't happen right now, and instead worried about whether the wording just now was too direct, whether it was rude, and ruined a sincere favor.

"It's okay."

Pluto didn't show any concern, and after nodding his head without hesitation, he left without any intention of forcing him.

While the plant god was relieved, it also invisibly aggravated his guilt a little bit.However, surrounded by the gods of love and beauty who may make a comeback at any time, he has no time to think about it. He only hides the idea of ​​offering a few more goats wrapped in black gauze as sacrifices, packs his bags hastily, and rides on Hoth. He went in the direction of Laconia, which is the closest to the entrance of Hades in the human world, thinking that if there is really no way out, he can go in in time to avoid it.

It's a pity that he didn't go far, when he was attacked by a huge eagle that was only carrying thunder and lightning.

Rao is full of vigilance and keen intuition, and the extremely flexible plant god can barely escape.Naturally, he would not regard the boldness shown by it as a simple riot, and the decisiveness of lightly moving from flat dodging on horseback to rolling over and sneaking into the forest was as smooth as sliding on the ice sprinkled with water.

He quickly pulled out the cluster of arrows on his back, aimed at the majestic giant eagle firmly without any hesitation, pulled it full, and with a slight tremor of his slender arrow-controlling fingers, three arrows made of poplar branches Ya shot out like a thunderbolt.

His arrow skills are excellent, and the three arrows shot at the same time aimed at the piercing eyes of the eagle, but the sharp arrows that can easily penetrate the prey only made a clanging sound after hitting it, like a The unremarkable stone hit the tall city wall, the eagle was unscathed, and the exhausted arrows fell weakly around.

The attack didn't work, Adonis' heart sank suddenly, but he didn't move slowly at all. He threw down the useless bow and arrow decisively, and because he didn't want to hurt those who were afraid of the coercion of the gods, they still sacrificed their lives to stop the disaster. The grass and trees chased by the eagle did not hide in the depths of the dense forest with luck, but gritted their teeth and ran towards the open space outside the forest.

What he never expected was that as soon as he turned around, he bumped into a burly and strong embrace.

The elusive Hades glanced at him inscrutablely, and immediately raised his black forks, his attitude was not as casual as when he dealt with Aphrodite before, but he also said something with ease, the majestic male The eagle neighed shrilly, like a fish hurt by a sharp hook, it didn't even care about the tempting bait, and fled staggeringly.

Having dealt with the imminent crisis with majesty and ease, Pluto calmly withdrew his scepter, his dark green eyes were as calm as water, staring straight at the uncomfortable Adonis, without saying a word for a long time.

The God of Plants smiled wryly, because in just half a day, he made himself quite embarrassed and ashamed because he insisted on going his own way: "I have caused you trouble again."

Hoss ran over briskly, as if feeling the tension between the two, he arched his huge head uneasily.

Hades shook his head insignificantly, as if it was worthless for him to stand up at the right time, and he didn't laugh at him for asking for trouble, but asked with a little concern: "Is it okay?"

"Thank you for your kindness." Adonis smiled helplessly, and completely gave up the delusion of escaping from the endless pursuit and unbridled malice of the Olympus gods. Back to Hades—"

"can."

Before he could finish speaking, Hades quickly agreed, and took his hand very naturally.

If it weren't for the slightest ripple on that handsome and indifferent face, Adonis, who secretly broke free and failed, would almost have the strange illusion that the other party felt that he couldn't wait.

The next days spent in Hades would be far better than he imagined. If he hadn't seen that the gods of Hades were extremely busy and lacked skills, he couldn't help but take the initiative to take over the work of helping to repair the Elysee, even if he didn't It seems that no gods will blame you for living idle.

Except for the frequent visits to him, and the over-enthusiastic Pluto making him feel very overwhelmed... such a peaceful life is really what he dreamed of.

Until one day, in the center of the quiet and peaceful Elysee, a crystal spring suddenly popped up out of thin air, and the plants that flowed through the clear stream became stronger and stronger. This change immediately attracted Hoduo, who was temporarily in charge of the place. Nice attention.

"...a disgrace. As the supreme ruler of the tomb and the noble master of the underworld, he did not hesitate to use ridiculous tricks to cover up his evil faults."

Hearing this weird and hoarse female voice mocking the Pluto, who was kind to him, Adonis frowned, and didn't even bother to do more investigations. He drove the divine power to dig up the small piece of land that contained it, and with all his brainpower into the swift Styx.
