After being sacrificed to Eros [Greek mythology]

Agnes knew Aldous's wickedness before, but she didn't expect to end up here.

There were several guards behind him, and looking at the attire, they seemed to be the king's men.

It is self-evident what Aldous has done.

"you,"

Agnes moved back in a little panic, trying to stay calm, "Adous, you and them...?"

Aldos didn't have much to say, he just said with a dark face, "I'm sorry."

Aldos has always been ruthless with an iron fist, and has no special compassion for those who are useless to him.

Even the partners we used to get along with can be sacrificed when necessary.

For him, this does not involve any moral issues, because he has been a gladiator since he was a child, living in a world where the weak can prey on the strong, and if he wants to survive and win, he must sweat and fight.

In a sense, he is a believer in Ares, the god of war, and he admires fists.

Those soft feelings of family and friendship are inherently missing.

While speaking, the guards on both sides surrounded her, ready to attack Agnes.

Agnes looked sternly, and took a step back.

Once it falls into Chloe's hands, there is absolutely no good fruit to eat.

If she wants to get rid of it, she has to rely on herself.

Agnes tried her best to calm down her breathing, "Okay, back off, I'll just go with you."

He said he was going with them, but he didn't mean that he would be captured without a fight.

Behind her, she has already clenched her crystal ball.When Aldous dropped her here, he threw in the bundle that contained the crystal ball.

However, it was just a crystal ball for divination, without any special functions.

If it is only useful, it may be that the material inside is a special crystal, once it is broken, it will immediately turn into dust.

The guards all stared at her like the eyes of a boa constrictor.

Aldous whispered, "Don't play tricks."

He was worried, so he was ready to come over and escort him personally.

Agnes did not resist, and let Aldous lead her out of the hut.

When you get out of the house, you feel that your vision is wide.

Surrounded by a maze-like forest, it is the only chance to escape.

At this moment of life and death, Agnes can't care about anything else.

Without any further hesitation, she smashed the crystal ball on Aldous's head, as if desperate.

With a "bang", blood overflowed from the top of Aldos' head.

He froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect the little girl in front of him to have such bravery.

This time, the elegant divination crystal ball was used by Agnes as a self-defense weapon, and it hit Aldous until his eyes turned black.

"Catch her!" Aldous covered his head, staggered and fell to the ground, furious.

The surrounding soldiers were also shocked, and rushed towards her with spears.

Agnes ran away.

The cold wind whimpered in her ears, and she knew that she was exhausted and could not escape for long.

But that also has to escape.Standing still, she can't do it yet.

The soldiers behind were chasing after her, and the arrows almost brushed past her ears.

"stop!"

She was about to dive into the river, relying on the dense layers of algae underwater, it would be good to take cover for a while.

Unexpectedly, a bubbling and smelly swamp suddenly appeared at the bottom of the feet.

These are smoke bubbles in the forest, which are piled up by rotten leaves in autumn. On the surface, they are almost flat, but in fact, once they sink in, people can't get out.

By the time Agnes realized it, the swamp had reached her ankles.

……

Isn't this game over?

Agnes sighed bitterly, she was really unlucky.

I think that their family is all believers in gods, their parents have never done evil things, and their younger sister has worshiped gods since childhood, and she herself has become a temple priest... But in the end, why is it always their family who are unlucky?

On the surface, Aldos is brave and passionate, but in fact he harbors evil intentions, and he really didn't see it.

The guards saw her sinking into the swamp from a distance, and laughed ferociously, before they were about to stab her with sharp knives.

"Run? You are running!"

Agnes gasped.

God still didn't bless her.

She couldn't help but think that worshiping God since she was a child seemed useless.

Just when the mountains and rivers were at the end of the mountain, somehow, a strong wind blew up in the forest, flying sand and rocks, so fierce.

This wind is really evil, it doesn't seem like a natural change in the weather, it's more like a precursor to the arrival of some giants.

Agnes was also blown precariously, and the huge wind force actually pulled her out of the swamp.

She covered her head tightly with her hands.

A gust of wind passed by like lightning, and in the darkness, Agnes was suddenly surprised to find a huge halo of light rising around her... The halo of light slowly brought her into the sky.

"Oh!" She couldn't help but whisper softly.

I saw Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, sitting among the clouds, appearing beside Agnes with lightning speed.

He sighed and smiled slightly.

"Fortunately caught up, Miss Agnes."

Psyche stood by Jiang Ting and waited anxiously for a long time before finally waiting for Zephyrus.

Fortunately, he brought back her long-awaited sister.

Agnes' arms and legs were fine, but she was dirty and thinner than before.

Psyche's eye circles turned red immediately, and he ran over to hug her tightly.

That's how it happened--

Yesterday Psyche wanted to go to the warehouse to catch up with work, but as soon as he entered the door, he met Cupid who was wandering again.

He tilted his head and frowned slightly, and he wanted to blame again when he opened his mouth.

Psyche went over first and covered his mouth.

"Don't say it!...Could it be that I can't work hard at all?"

Cupid was held in a corner by her, unable to move left or right.

After a while, the momentum still weakened, and he let out a small sigh without any waves.

"You don't do it when you should do it, and you mess up when you shouldn't do it."

He took her hand off, and kissed lightly on the palm of his hand, "...Listen to me, go back to sleep, okay?"

Although she has initially possessed some deified features, she is still a mortal in the end.

There is no night in Olympus, and it is even more necessary to urge her to sleep and eat well, and maintain a normal human routine.

Psyche raised his eyebrows slightly, naturally he refused.

She withdrew her hand, but her slender figure remained in place, blocked by him in the corner, showing a tendency of uncompromising.

"There are so many tasks, you didn't assign them."

The natural height difference made her only reach his shoulders, so Psyche had to lean against him and draw small circles within reach.

This small circle does not move much, but it is extremely lethal. The itch carries a slight sense of complaint, and it flows straight from the nerve endings all over the body, rushing to the brain, which makes people feel a little unbearable.

Cupid's eyes were suddenly swallowed by a dark feeling.

He clasped her waist with his backhand, held her fidgeting fingers together, turned around and blocked her in the corner.

"Are you still unreasonable? Is that what I arranged for you?"

He couldn't help trying to argue with her, his voice full of grievances, "Little white-eyed wolf... I've been lying for you, and I've been helping you, but you're still calling someone else in your dreams. Tell me, Am I wronged or not?"

As he said that, he moved away slightly, and the door of the warehouse opened behind him, and there were thousands of termites working inside, sorting and returning the grains one by one.

The ground is in order, and nearly half of it has been completed.

Psyche looked at Cupid for a moment, and then at the termites.

incredible.

There was a thunder in her mind—she said why he was sulking for nothing, and it turned out that it was because of the raving.

It is true that it is difficult for bystanders to distinguish the subtle difference between calling "lover" and calling "enemy" in sleep.

"Little ant...can it still do this?"

Psyche gritted his teeth lightly and was at a loss for words.

Cupid snorted.

This silly girl must not know that he put the termites in to help her in the first place.

In the end... she treated them as pests and drove them out.

This job of picking grains has been delayed for so long.

Cupid pinched her earlobes calmly, "You have no conscience, you can be said to be the first."

Psyche said gloomyly, "Then my sister is in danger. I didn't realize it when I was in a hurry... It's not that I'm stupid. Besides, you always like to play tricks on me, so I'm scared."

Slowly and seriously, he added, "Really, that was a precognitive dream. My sister is in danger, I can feel it."

Psyche didn't say the second half of the sentence, so he naturally asked for leave.

She is so inexperienced that even begging for help is clumsy.

Cupid shook his head helplessly.

His whole life has been planted in her hands.

However, even if she went, she couldn't go in person.

She is like a thin and soft flower, who can she beat?Even if they were really in danger, they would not be able to save any of their sisters, and maybe both of them would be captured.

Cupid had to tell her what he hadn't told her before.

"Agnes, I have asked Zephyros to save her. Zephyros, don't you know him yet? Don't worry."

——He did this secretly before, but he didn't tell her, because he deliberately left her alone.

At this moment, after all, she couldn't see her worried look.

He couldn't help scolding himself.

Cupid, you are so useless.

Psyche didn't speak for a while.

Sure enough, the word "soft-hearted" was always on full display in him.

This time it was owed to him.

Psyche took the initiative to walk over, took his hands hanging on both sides, and said weakly and ashamedly, "Thank you."

Cupid hummed blankly and glanced at her.

He has fulfilled all the conditions for her, so should she also explain the babble?

To be honest, he cared a lot.

Psyche naturally knew what he meant.

After a pause, he swallowed, and explained, "Well...in my dream, I really didn't call anyone else. The person I saw was you."

She wanted to tell him that in that dream, there were soldiers, sisters, Aldos, and him.

In her sleep, she clearly remembered that she did call a person's name twice, desperately... it was him, it was Cupid.

Psyche glanced at the man in front of him.

Seeing that he was still unmoved, she could only hug him close to her body, wrapping her arms around his waist.

This time, it wasn't a purposeful act of coquettishness, or other means to seduce people... She just hugged him sincerely, it was an apology, a thank you... Deeper, there was an unspeakable longing for him.

She sighed softly, thinking that she was a little nervous.

Being disturbed by the gossip and gossip of the fairies recently, it is really useless to treat him sincerely.

Now it seems that she shouldn't neglect him just because of other people's few words.

As for the future... let's talk about it later.

"Cupid. Cupid."

Psyche called him twice stupidly, "Why don't I call you a few more times to make up for it?"

Cupid snorted.

After holding back for a while, he was finally relieved calmly.

The two smiled at each other.

He lowered his head and grabbed her lips abruptly, then with a little force in his hands, he hugged her up and lifted his feet off the ground.

"Don't believe gossip and gossip in the future, just trust me, okay?"

Psyche lost his center of gravity suddenly, under his soft touch, even his heart trembled.

She wanted to say a good word, but was vaguely drowned in this kiss.

……

On Jiang Ting, Psyche gave Agnes a brief account of what happened while letting Agnes slowly eat thin soup and cookies to replenish her strength.

Of course, many unspeakable processes were omitted...she couldn't speak.

Zephyros floated on the white clouds, looked at the two leisurely with his chin resting on his shoulders, and couldn't help boasting about his achievements, "Is it still reliable after all? Miss Agnes, how does it feel to ride a cloud for the first time?"

Agnes choked on the cookie in her mouth.

To be honest, Zephyros' cloud driving skills are not very good.It's not that it's bad in the usual sense, it's that it's too tricky, almost as fast as a puff of smoke in the air.

If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing in her stomach, she would have vomited out her intestines just now.

"Very good. Still...thank you for saving your life."

Agnes thanked her sincerely.

Seeing his sister's face turning green faintly, Psyche couldn't help laughing when he thought of his miserable state when he was flying through the clouds and fog.

Zephyros raised his eyebrows triumphantly.

He knew that he would not suffer from running this order. In order to persuade him to run errands, Cupid offered a lot of benefits, including introducing him to a lovely fairy.

Save a person, ride a circle of clouds, get out of the order and there will be a clue, no matter how you think about it, he is taking advantage.

Zephyros made a condition at that time: "My good brother, don't fool me casually. I want a little fairy who is as beautiful as Psyche. She is so cute. I will take her for a ride in the clouds every day."

Cupid: ...

Cupid: Want to eat farts, but also want Psyche?

Cupid cleared his throat slightly worried.

"I think it's best for you to find a little fairy who can control you."

……

Psyche and Agnes on the side naturally didn't know what the two men were talking about in private.

Now that the crystal ball is broken, it is necessary to find a skilled craftsman in time to rebuild a new one for Agnes in the past few days.

Agnes held her sister's hand, shook her head and said there was no hurry.

"What I'm more worried about now is that Aldos and the others won't let it go."

Psyche naturally knew the situation in the city-state.

Agnes was saved this time only because of the God of West Wind's quick eyesight and quick hands.In the future, it may not be so lucky every time.

Perhaps, they should take the initiative to attack once?

……

The matter of picking beans has come to an end for the time being. Although the completion is a bit unreal, it is over.

After settling his sister, Psyche returned to the palace with a sore back and a sore back. He fell on the bed and wanted to bury his head in a deep sleep.

Life is so tiring, it is better to sleep dead.

However, after not sleeping for a long time, she felt that there was someone behind her, grabbing her neck and teasing her carefully.

Don't even think to know who it is.

Psyche was itchy all over, and couldn't help turning around, opening a slit of his eyes, "Let me sleep for a while!"

Cupid whispered softly in her ear, "Honey, haven't you always wanted to go out and relax? No, the next mission is to go to Colchis, and let's go gather the golden fleece."

Saying that, she smiled, "... How about spending a honeymoon by the way?"
