[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

"Dear Your Majesty Pluto, on behalf of the people of Sappho, please allow me to express my honor to your presence." Adonis said with a deadpan expression that sounded respectful, holding the muted miniature version of Hades. He lifted the well-groomed man who was not fluttering at all to the position of only one finger away from his cheek, and stared at him with hidden anger: "But if I remember correctly, soon You personally agreed to my request to go back to my homeland to rest for a while, if you can’t get a proper explanation for this inconsistency, I’m afraid I’ll ask Delia to ask it for me.”

Delia, who was honored to be named, couldn't help grinning her bloody mouth shyly. Some of the translucent viscous liquid was drawn into strands of varying thickness, and more overflowed from the corners of her mouth, dripping slowly——she is A huge, brightly colored piranha.

Even though the embarrassment of the limbs facing down, only the belt held by Adonis' fingertips supporting the weight of the whole body was exposed to the eyes of many green spirits, Hades remained paralyzed as always, not threatened at all, and completely Not worried about damage to his reputation, he stated calmly: "She won't be able to bear being so close to my godhead."

The plant god narrowed his eyes slightly, his long black eyelashes trembled dangerously, and his voice became softer and softer: "This is the reason why Your Majesty is so confident?"

When answering this question, only the palm-sized Pluto turned his head slowly, and faced the Pluto, who was holding back her anger, and saw his long black and smooth hair hanging down to his feet, like a An exquisite and beautiful doll, without any change in expression: "Of course not."

Adonis smiled slightly: "Then please speak, Your Majesty."

Hades really made a point: "If you want to go to Hades, you don't need my invitation to go in and out freely, because that is also the home where you hold the right to rule; in this way, of course I can't With your approval, I will set foot on this land that gave birth to you, because I am also its other half owner."

Adonis seldom heard him say such a long speech, especially when he used his handsome face that looked somewhat rounded due to his shrinking size to make his usual dignified and solemn expression, which was so cute that it made him twitch. His anger also dissipated a lot.So when he spoke again, his tone became much more relaxed, and he even had a bit of a laugh: "Is your majesty complaining that I didn't share the power to rule Sappho with you, making your arrival less justifiable?"

The noble god nodded earnestly: "It can also protect it, and it is finally invaded by Olympus."

This statement is simple and unpretentious, but it is very in line with the taste of plant gods who have always pursued practice.Thinking that after Pluto was determined to give trust and sincerity, he indeed generously shared the rulership of Hades with himself who has not yet confided in him, and now he actually accepts this absurd marriage in his heart, rather than die Holding on to a small amount of authority is far worse than fulfilling his wish.

As long as Adonis figured it out, he wouldn't worry about whether his face would be damaged because of this. Instead, he readily agreed to give half of the plant power bred by Sappho to the little Pluto hanging on his belt.

He closed his eyes and recited softly: "O kind benefactor who took care of my wandering mother, you nurtured me with your gray and brown breast, and tolerantly let the nymphs enjoy the purple coral ornaments that mortals gave you, Never begrudgingly asked the warm sunshine to pour down, and gently begged the clear spring water passing by to surround you, so that the cold rain water nourished the gorgeous roses that gave off a fragrant fragrance, and called for dew to cover every tired green grass, called Zihao The clear brilliance from the vast sky overflows the lake, and provides a comfortable shelter for the noisy birds, in exchange for a quiet and peaceful night."

"I admit that I have never seen your unparalleled beauty with my own eyes, and I am ashamed that I have never wandered every inch of the dirt you have carefully carved, but I would like to swear to Styx, the words that came out of my mouth are not true. Half deceitful. The noble Lord of Hades, the upright master of dead souls, is willing to provide shelter for the most beautiful and rare treasures. His promises are reliable to protect the inexhaustible ocean of lakes as he wishes. It is also like a huge harbor that allows a small boat to anchor. From now on, I will trust the judgment of these eyes, and entrust half of the power of protecting you and governing the people to him, and his words will be like mine, and respecting him is like respecting me."

As the green and pure divine light gently enveloped the little Hades, it didn't take a moment for the plant god to feel that his control over Sappho was a little weaker, but he didn't take this slight influence to heart ——As long as the godhead is still in the body for a day, the lost part will be slowly filled back by itself, and what Hades has gained is enough for him to understand what the green spirit in Sappho said.

Of course, this shared affinity with plants is only valid in the small area of ​​Sappho, which was completely controlled by Adonis in the past.

On the surface, the soft green light quickly merged into the little black robe and disappeared without a trace, but Hades immediately felt the change.

He could vaguely hear the whispers of the plants, and he could also feel the faint mood swings from Adonis.

"Since Your Majesty's wish has come true," Adonis, who didn't know that there was a little unfavorable effect attached to him, and didn't know that his true emotions were revealed with the sharing of divine power, readily fulfilled Hades' request. Finally, he did not forget to pursue the other party's backlash, "It's time to go back and take care of Styx. I kept him by your side out of trust, but I didn't abandon my responsibility so easily like a galloping horse..."

"He has many underworld guards." Hades said bluntly, "I miss you."

As soon as the words fell, Pluto felt a subtle tremor of joy coming from the other end.

Adonis really felt helpless towards Pluto, who had gradually learned to use these shy words to fool himself. He gave him a look of feigned anger, and retorted weakly: "His Majesty Pluto's glib expression is not even the most eloquent. , The god of love and beauty who deceives with shameless kisses is ashamed."

Little did he know that this bit of hesitation and feigned annoyance could only deceive Pluto, who was unable to perceive his mood before.

Seeing that the other party was indifferent, Adonis couldn't help but staggered his eyes uncomfortably, his index finger wrapped around Pluto's belt punitively bumped up a few times, and at the same time lightly reprimanded: "Hades, you want me to blame you for the mistake you made earlier. It is impossible to turn a blind eye to things and happily accompany you in the underworld. When I have not developed the slightest admiration for you, you first pursued me on your own initiative, and then arbitrarily took advantage of the crisis when I lost my memory coaxing and trying to cover the past by making up more lies. You drained my trust, neither for you nor for me, it will not be a wonderful thing. Can I justify it so easily Is the past not to blame? At this moment, no matter where I am, I still have resentment in my heart. Before it completely dissipates, if I continue to see the face of the culprit every day, so that I can utter bad words and call others The god of the underworld will also suffer, it is better to avoid it from the beginning. And although I don't want to see you for the time being, I have decided to forgive you in the end. No matter how greedy you are, you should be content with hearing this. "

As a result, Hades, who had been tossing with him with a paralyzed face all the time, and had no trace of resistance when he heard these words, suddenly took advantage of the shaking and hugged his fingers, and immediately Hua Lu I kicked neatly on the one next to it, like a falcon that has been starving for several days without being tied by a rope, and swiftly rushed towards the cheek that I had been coveting for a long time. , slyly stole a kiss.

"you--"

Adonis hurriedly took a step back, and at the same time hurriedly loosened the belt that he had mistakenly thought could really restrain Hades' actions, and the successful Pluto quickly returned to his normal appearance the moment he was thrown away.
