After being sacrificed to Eros [Greek mythology]

Thinking of this, Psyche's peaceful heart couldn't help becoming agitated again.

She looked around, and knelt with the crowd on the smooth and hard temple floor, clasped her hands and murmured prayers.

She doesn't have many problems, just that one, the great sun god must give her instructions!

However, there were countless believers in the temple, and Psyche's thin voice of prayer was quickly drowned out among the crowd.

For a long time, I don't know if God has heard.

……

In fact, I heard it.

There is only one sun god, and there are as many people who pray every day as a cow.

For most prayers, Apollo is indifferent.

But Psyche was different.

He knew that this mortal girl was extraordinary, and he knew who she was even more.

Apollo has been very busy lately.To be precise, it was very hurtful.

Daphne, the fairy whom he loves so deeply, turns into a laurel tree beside the river in order to avoid his ardent pursuit.

Apollo was invincible in all battles in his life, but he fell so hard in love that his tears were almost shed by the laurel tree.

Speaking of which, thanks to Cupid.

Because when he was traveling around the world that day, Apollo owed a few words.

Cupid is the youngest son of Aphrodite. When Apollo made his achievements, this junior was not yet born.

At that time, Apollo had just defeated the serpent Latona, so when he met the younger generation, he was naturally qualified to show off.

Apollo pointed at Cupid's bow and arrow and laughed, "Boy, is this also called a bow and arrow? It's not even one tenth of the power of my bow and arrow, but it's too bad. What qualifications do you have to fly around in Olympus?" ? Let’s just stay where it’s cool.”

Cupid Zhiyi sat on the stone next to him, quietly waiting for him to finish speaking.

The young man was very patient, his brown pupils were like pools of cold water, and his face was bright, just looking at Apollo like that, as if staring into his soul.

After saying that, Cupid couldn't help chuckling, and said with a little regret, "Well, is that so?"

Apollo was even more satisfied, thinking that this kid was overwhelmed by his might.

Cupid flapped his wings to prepare to leave, and the soft light sprinkled the ground.

"Let me give you a present." He said with a smile before leaving.

Apollo narrowed his eyes, confused.

The next day, he knew what the gift was.

All of a sudden, the rumor that the sun god chased the mortals and failed to win back a handful of rice became the headline joke of Olympus after dinner.

Even Zeus couldn't stand it anymore, and personally taught his son not to embarrass Olympus.

Apollo recalled the past, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

This young man!

It is not a gentleman not to repay a grudge, so when Apollo heard Psyche's prayer, he immediately became energetic.

His chance for revenge has come.

Apollo pushed through the clouds and saw that the girl in the mortal temple was still kneeling on the ground, praying devoutly.

So he cleared his throat and conveyed the oracle in a secret language with only himself and the prayers.

"Listen, Psyche, your husband is a monster, a vicious vermin."

"He has eyes as vicious as coal fires, filled with the mucus of hatred. He doesn't let you see his appearance, because he is afraid that you will see through."

"He is with you in the palace to confuse your heart and suck your soul. In the future, he will destroy your country."

"You have to do whatever it takes to get rid of him."

……

In the temple, Psyche was praying, when he heard the oracle suddenly, he trembled back and sat down on the ground.

Omg.

Psyche couldn't believe it for a moment.

She didn't expect the situation to be so bad.To be honest, these days, she has more or less felt nostalgic for that person.

It's just that she doesn't know if this nostalgic feeling is right.

But the oracle is infallible.

Psyche was in a state of confusion for a moment.

Seeing her panicked look, the people around looked at her with weird eyes.

Psyche gritted his teeth, avoided everyone's eyes, and walked away in a cloak.

In the evening, the sunken square was crowded with people, full of loud cheers.

Aldous and Agnes also pretended to be beggars and mingled among the crowd.After all, they are still the wanted objects of King Chloe, so they can't act too ostentatiously.

Their only purpose is to find Psyche.

Although Aldous didn't really believe that he could find Psyche with just a crystal ball, but he had no better way, so he had to follow Agnes step by step.

Agnes was urging the crystal ball with all her thoughts, looking for Psyche's position, while Aldos was covering her.

At the same time, Aldous is also thinking about future plans.

He had already made up his mind that once he found Psyche, he would immediately take her away from this place of right and wrong, and the action had to be fast.

When necessary, Agnes, the oil bottle, has to be discarded.

He just wanted to protect his Psyche, and no one else cared.

He just didn't know, would Psyche be willing to give up the throne, fly away with him, and spend the rest of his life together?

Aldous pondered for a while, a look of worry appeared on his dark, sun-battered face.

Psyche is a bit stubborn... If she insists on taking risks to avenge her parents and compete with Chloe for the throne, then he can only be sorry and knock her unconscious and carry her away.

He was thinking about her safety!He is only for her good, she will understand him.

Aldous was immersed in reverie after finding Psyche.

Seeing his idiotic look, Agnes poked him lightly, "I found it, the southeast corner, the hot spring."

Aldos regained his composure and hurried to the hot spring.

……

Southeast corner, hot spring.

After Psyche came out of the temple, he carefully covered his face, but he was still being watched.

She knew that the two spies behind her were following her—probably Chloe's people.

Although she is weak, she is not flustered when encountering such a situation.

Psyche purposely lured the two people who were following her to the back mountain of the hot spring, where firstly there were few people there, and secondly it was rough and rough, so that it would be convenient for her to fight back.

If she really can't beat those two, she's not afraid... Psyche touched the ring on her finger, she still has a trump card.

If she wants, she can summon a cloud at any time and escape.

But she won't run away unless she has to.

Her city-state is still in the hands of thieves.Her people are still in dire straits.She can't just walk away.

Psyche wanted to lure the two men to a corner, and then tried to stun them, and took their belts and clothes.

Then with the help of these two things, he sneaked into the palace, approached Chloe, and then tried to avenge his parents.

The moonlight shone coldly on the ground, and the road became more and more remote. Psyche could clearly hear the footsteps of the two stalkers behind him.

Ahead lay a swamp covered with leaves.

Psyche walked across the swamp nonchalantly, staring at the stalkers behind him.

She is relatively light, and she has the help of the god of the west wind, walking on the swamp like a feather.

But when the two spies stepped into the swamp, they would stumble and sink deep.

At that time, she can temporarily trap them, and then follow the original plan.

In fact, as she expected, the two spies saw that she walked over safely, and thought it was flat ground, so they walked over.

It's almost done.

Just when the two of them were about to step into the swamp, they suddenly heard a rustling not far away, and a man like an iron tower suddenly jumped out of the rocks and shouted loudly.

"Psyche! Don't move! It's a swamp!"
