greek gods in new york

06

We stepped out of the elevator and saw the woman standing behind Apollo.

Apollo's twin sister is naturally the goddess of the moon and the hunt, Artemis.

Unexpectedly, Hermes had such a big face, not only invited Apollo, but also invited his sister.

My first impression when I saw Artemis: she is so tall and beautiful.

The goddess has black hair cut very short, revealing high cheekbones and divine eyes.Her clothes are clean and neat: a white shirt, black trousers, and a simple belt embroidered with simple patterns, which is the only color in the whole body.

Artemis raised the corners of his mouth slightly and waved to us: "Nice to meet you."

As Artemis raised her arm, the lines of her beautiful forearm can be seen at a glance, and it can be seen that she has been exercising a lot.

One sentence summary: Artemis is completely the most popular type in modern times, sassy and beautiful, and it kills both men and women.

"My sister," Apollo introduced, "Adele Elton."

Meryl, who was standing next to me, finally recovered from the state of shock.

She gasped and covered her mouth.

Only I know why she reacted so much - Adele Elton, but her idol! !

Apollo is a Hollywood superstar, how can Artemis be an ordinary person.

Just a year ago, there was a considerable discussion on the Internet.

Generally speaking, there are ordinary and confident conservative male Internet celebrities performing on Twitter. First, they posted photos of themselves exercising in the gym with rather greasy photos, and then recorded a video of themselves drawing a bow and archery, and uttered nonsense. It is said that only men can do this, women should be protected at home, believe in the arrangement of the gods, blah blah blah.

Originally, this kind of video, after being scolded by others and generating some discussions, would be automatically forgotten in a few days.

Just when the public condemned the Internet celebrity, a woman suddenly appeared and said that she would compete with the Internet celebrity in archery.

Her Twitter certification is the project leader of a well-known women's non-profit organization.

Netizens with gossip "picked up" her certification and found that the lady in charge happened to be the archery champion of a certain Olympic Games, Ms. Adele Elton.

As a result, it was natural that the Internet celebrity apologized on the spot.

Just when everyone thought that Adele would become popular on the Internet, she began to take the opportunity to promote the public welfare projects of non-profit organizations, calling on more people to come out to help women.

It can be said to be quite dedicated.

Since then, Meryl has had another idol.

Not to mention Meryl, I also really like this Adele Elton.

In all fairness, Elton is not an uncommon surname, and it never occurred to me that she and "Mickey Elton" were siblings.

And this strong woman turned out to be Artemis.

I remember that the public welfare project Artemis was responsible for involved helping teenage single mothers. She herself is the goddess of fertility and the goddess of hunting.Delivering babies, helping young girls, and being an Olympic archery champion are all her "old professions".

These old gods are not doing their job properly, but it is even rarer for Artemis to abide by his duties.

so cool.

Who would not envy such a woman!

No wonder even the bouquet that Apollo holds today is sunflowers instead of roses.

He stuffed a large bunch of sunflowers into my arms, and then looked at Artemis: "Shall we talk about it in another place?"

Artemis waved her beautiful palm: "Our company is closed today, so we can borrow the meeting room."

Hermes brought the duo here to give us a final pre-match assault.

A popular superstar and a public welfare project leader have much more experience in facing the camera, the arena, and various surprise situations than we do.

Apollo helped us contact a camera director in New York a month ago, and today he came to the door in person, just to mention a few more words.

"I think the instructor has said everything that should be said."

The God of Light sitting in the meeting room, even though he was in a casual posture and had no image at all, was shockingly handsome.

He leaned back on the chair and lazily said, "Don't hide from the camera. The photographer pointed the camera at you. If you want to look at it, look at it. If you don't want to look at it, don't look at it. Don't look away."

Apollo also said a few very useful precautions, the right to make a point.

Then there is Artemis.

The heroic female athlete went straight to the point: "I watched the process of the knowledge contest, and there will be an impromptu speech session at the end of each competition. Tomorrow is the first competition. Who should participate?"

It turned out that Artemis' focus was on impromptu speeches.

"It's Pandora." I replied.

Artemis shook his head.

She looked at Loki.

In front of Meryl and other ordinary people, Artemis couldn't point out Loki's true identity, but she replaced the subtext with a firm gaze.

"You go first," she said.

Even Loki was stunned.

With his hands resting on the back of his neck, he sat in an arrogant posture: "I didn't make it until the last final, ma'am."

Artemis laughed a few times: "The result of the East Coast Division is still uncertain, so let's start thinking about the finals? What if you don't make it to the finals?"

Hermes couldn't help muttering: "Can't you be more optimistic?"

Artemis: "I'm being pragmatic. Mr. Johnson, you are good at the game, you should understand that suppressing strength is tantamount to a gamble. Instead of putting the trump card at the end, it is better to show it first and tell everyone that we have this ability."

Rocky is of course the ace.

He's talking all over the gods, what's a mere impromptu speech?

"And I inquired about it," Artemis said again. "In the Los Angeles competition, neither the judges nor the host will change. So for the first speech, you must impress the judges."

It turned out to be the case.

It is only natural to throw out the trump card of Loki.

Loki didn't care: "Then I'll do it."

Artemis: "Finally, Luo...Mr. Kainas Uld, I watched the video of your game, and you have always had a little problem."

I looked at Artemis in surprise: she even knew Loki's pseudonym.

The goddess of hunting really did her homework.

Wow, you are too responsible!Compared with all the cheap uncles and uncles, this aunt is too reliable!

I couldn't help but start thinking: Maybe Athena is also so reliable, but she doesn't have a good relationship with my dad and doesn't want to help.

Regarding Artemis' outspokenness, Loki just raised his eyebrows: "So, what's my problem, Ms. Adele?"

Between the words, his English has a Danish accent - Rocky definitely did it on purpose, he can't tell that he is Nordic at all when he usually speaks.

Artemis just smiled: "You do have a problem."

Loki: "What?"

Artemis: "You don't think about it yourself?"

Loki raised his lips when he heard this.

He narrowed his dark blue eyes.

"It's a problem with men, Ms. Adele, but you have to be clear," he said meaningfully, "otherwise you will think that I have a problem with 'that'. Oh, I forgot, you have no experience."

Pandora and I coincidentally held down Meryl who was about to fight.

It's okay to export pornographic jokes directly!

This is also Loki's old operation. He has done all kinds of unscrupulous things in Norse mythology.

It's nothing more than provoking the opponent first, and then waiting for the opponent to jump.

But Artemis wasn't angry at all.

She still kept the question: "This is what I call a small problem, sir, you can't stand provocation."

I:"……"

indeed.

I have to say that after getting along with Loki for a while, I probably figured out his temper.

In fact, Rocky has a very good personality, polite, keen observation, and rarely does things that are difficult for others.He will not force me to do anything I don't like, but correspondingly, no one can make him bow his head to do things he doesn't like.

But his good character is also based on mutual respect—even on the surface.

Just like now, whoever makes him unhappy, he will definitely fight back.

and--

"I know what you mean," Loki said unrepentantly, "I just want to be fooled."

"If it's normal, it doesn't matter, but you want to win the championship, don't you?"

Artemis advised: "According to my experience, there must be a judge in this kind of competition who is responsible for making bad faces, and what he said must be very excessive. You have to show the appearance of being a good student."

She puts a slight emphasis on the word "good student".

On the surface, he is reminding Loki to be a good student, but in fact he is reminding him to be a student.

Loki didn't continue to defend himself either.

He just nodded seriously: "Okay, I know what's going on."

…………

……

The next day, the game site.

Before the official competition, the host will let all the contestants who participated in the impromptu speech come to the stage to draw questions.

Rocky came on stage in a clean student suit, and tied his artist-like long hair behind his head in order to "be more like a student".

Before he draws lots, he routinely greets the judges.

Then we saw the judges sitting in the middle, frowning at the live camera.

"Long Street Middle School..."

He clattered through the materials: "How can even a community high school enter the Los Angeles competition?"

What I said, I almost wrote the big words that you are trash on your face.

Loki still maintained his elegant demeanor, and pretended not to hear him, and introduced himself according to the arrangement: "My name is Cainus Uld, from Denmark, and I am—"

"—and the Danes can play in the American race?"

The judges shook their heads and interrupted him rather rudely: "Not even immigrants."

Loki: "..."

Then we in the audience, with a clear vision, saw Loki slowly raising a frighteningly brilliant smile.

I:"……"

Pandora: "..."

Hermes slapped his thigh: "It's broken, he's going to make trouble!"
