The sunlight came in through the marble window, and the room was extremely bright. I rubbed my eyes and got up from the bed.While listening to the movement outside, he rested his chin and recalled: Well, at the end of last night, since Sisyphus carried me back to the room pretending to be extremely tired, did the anger in his heart have completely calmed down?

...It's a pity that he didn't carry me back to his bedroom and let me sleep on a bed that smelled of him.I thought disconsolately.

After I packed myself and went to the restaurant outside, I saw the smiling face of Sisyphus under the warm golden sun, and he even pulled out the chair for me himself——gesturing for me to sit beside him, "Good morning, Mi North, sleep well."

"Dear Sisyphus, I thought you were already in the Pope's hall at this hour."

He smiled slightly, "I will accompany you today. Both the Pope and Dieter have questions to ask you about the Arena and the Temple of Delphi."

I nodded, looked at the breakfast that was served, raised my hand and scooped a large spoonful of sweet honey rose syrup, and spread it on his bread slices.

He poured a cup of my favorite scented tea and placed it hot in front of me.

I sniffed the aroma of tea, blinked my eyes in the heat, stared at him and said, "Before I go to see the Pope and the others, Sisyphus, I want to say a few words to you...I didn't have time to say last night, okay?" ?”

"Oh?" He smiled and took a sip of hot tea, and said in a good mood, "Let's hear it?"

In order to completely eliminate the hidden dangers that made him unhappy, I decided to apologize-and I would use the gentle method that can most conquer him and try everything.I leaned over and leaned limply on his shoulder - Sisyphus didn't resist.

Who could resist the warm scent of lavender in hair behind the ear?I leaned on his shoulder and held his arm, "Sisyphus, I know, I made a lot of mistakes."

First review and admit your mistakes in a soft voice, you shouldn't run around boldly and use the Undead Arena as an adventure place, you shouldn't run to the Delphi Forest out of curiosity, and then take advantage of the opportunity to confess that you have known Deftolos for a long time, At the same time, he showed himself to be very sympathetic-"He was ostracized by himself since he was a child. Both Tianma and I wanted to be friends with him, but we were afraid of causing trouble to you, so after meeting him for the first time If I didn't tell you in time, it would be even harder to speak later..."

He nodded from time to time, and finally smiled softly, "Minos, you did the right thing about getting to know Deftolos and getting in touch with him. Of course, it would be even better if you didn't hide it from me."

I rubbed his hand and drank the licorice tea contentedly, "I really know I was wrong. I want to tell you earlier, maybe Deftolos has officially entered the sanctuary supervision--so I also You don’t need to secretly go to the arena to meet him, and everyone will not encounter what happened last night.”

"The matter of the Undead Arena last night has not yet been settled--" Sisyphus thought for a while, and told me, "Minos, you said that there was a seal failure in the arena before, please tell the Pope about this, It will help Lord Sage make a judgment."

Of course I said yes, but I thought to myself, the golden saints who experienced the scene in the arena, everyone felt that it was Aspulos's different-dimensional space power, and it was this guy who tore the seal... It still needs to be judged ?My Sisyphus, do you still want to excuse Aspulos?

When Sisyphus and I entered the gate of the pope's hall, just as Shion came out - he came to report to the pope about the condition of Deftolos, who was recuperating in the Aries Palace.

After saying goodbye to each other briefly, he looked at Sisyphus and me with his clear purple eyes, quietly made a gesture of admiration and praise to me, and left with a smile on his face.Haha, did I say that I can appease the angry Sisyphus?

But to be serious, Shi Ang is one of the representatives of the power of the Jamil clan in the sanctuary, and he is also a disciple of the Pope's twin brother Bai Li. I keenly believe that Shi Ang also vaguely knows some secrets that the Pope knows, otherwise, he How could it be so coincidental to appear with Sisyphus?And took the initiative to bring Deftolos to the Aries Palace?This seems to be a precursor to the Pope's intention to recognize Deftolos' status as a warrior.

But what about Aspros?How to deal with him——I looked up at the curtains in the Pope's hall unceremoniously, thinking in my heart that the Pope would be really just?

In the case of the disappearance of the Delphi witches, Deftelos did not really see Aspulos massacre the witches, but I did not change my mouth when I saw it. I only saw blood on the ground when I bit the Pope, and Aspulos was before me He has just arrived in Delphi in a while—of course, whether he has the ability to kill and throw away corpses in an instant is up to the Pope and Dieter to decide on their own.

On the whole, the situation facing Aspros is lively.It is not impossible for Sage to hide the dark sins of Aspulos with his voluminous papal tiara.Hmph, the jihad is imminent, and the Sanctuary, which is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, is reluctant to abandon a strong golden saint. Maybe Sage still expects Aspoulus to atone for his sins?Hehe, it's a pity that based on what I know about that guy, he doesn't bother to forgive him!Ambitiously staring at the position of the next Pope!

I came back from the questioning in the Pope’s hall, and looked at Sisyphus with some concern—just now, he accepted all the arrangements of Sage about this incident, including the task of letting him get in touch with Deftolos— -Sage's original words are, "Sisyphus, before Aspoulus returns, I hope you, as a good friend he has known since childhood, will temporarily replace this elder brother and pay attention to his younger brother. The heart of the Gemini brother is full of Confused, and I hope that you are the one who can guide him to the right path."

Parting Sisyphus also bowed to the Pope and said sincerely that he had grown up with Asporus since he was a child, and that after Asporus came back this time, he wanted to find an opportunity to have a long talk with him.

When I heard this, I became anxious. When I returned to the Sagittarius Palace, I saw Sisyphus looking at the distant horizon with some emotion. Be careful when you contact him, Aspoulos may have changed, he is not the good friend you are familiar with----"

Sisyphus smiled at me kindly, "Thanks, Minos. It's just... I don't quite believe that Aspulos will do something."

No!That guy is really the murderer——but I couldn't overturn the conclusive testimony just now, so I thought about it for a while, and looked at his bright back standing in the sun, which was unparalleled.I suddenly thought, alas, that's good.Sisyphus with a bright heart, it’s fine if you can’t see the darkness of Asporus, because you still have me, let me be vigilant instead of you, and I will secretly protect you from being caught by that insidious guy. harmed!

So I lowered my eyes, and quietly filled two layers of gift boxes with the chocolate snacks made by the chef and the apples picked from my garden, and went to the Aries Palace with him.

Although Shion is only 16 years old, I appreciate the orderliness and silence from top to bottom in the Aries Palace----the servants here have an extra black-skinned man who looks exactly like Aspros. The guy in the palace didn't even discuss it with anyone outside the palace. Shi Ang must have warned him to keep it secret, but such a submissive servant also proved that he is usually good at intimidating.

Deftolos was wrapped in bandages and exuded the smell of herbs. He was leaning against the window and looking out at the sanctuary that was new to him—it was his first time stepping into the holy mountain. perspective view of the training ground with people down the hill.Are those discriminations and exclusions, contempt and cruelty all hidden under this thriving and vibrant scenery?

Irony?This is also the sanctuary in the vision of the goddess Athena!This goddess who always flaunts her fraternity, dare to ask, has she ever loved you at all?Deftolos!

I thought to myself, and turned to see that Deftolos' mask had already been taken off and placed on the table.

For the first time, Sisyphus clearly saw this iron thing, which represented the rough and cold thing in the sanctuary, and his face was moved.

----This is the evidence of Athena's ruthlessness in nature, and this is the dirty trick she played because she couldn't tolerate a pair of powerful twins who could challenge her authority in the world!

So my beloved Sisyphus, you should see clearly earlier and abandon that disgusting and hypocritical goddess!

I simply picked up the mask and covered my face halfway, stared at Sisyphus, and said ventingly, "Deftolos has been wearing it for more than 20 years. I can't imagine how he can bear it. Why, he has to be treated like this?" ? Because of the oracle, he is a dark evil star? Hehe!"

However, as soon as my words fell, I clearly caught the blurred memory and pain in Sisyphus's eyes--I was surprised and explored again, and those pains had quickly turned into full of determination-- -His eyes showed his unshakable determination, what, what happened?

I watched intently, and he quickly returned to normal, smiling gently.Watch him walk up to Deftolos, talk to him, ask how he's recovering from his injury, and inspire future fights together.

"When I put on the Saint Cloth of Sagittarius, I made a promise with Hagast and Aspros to become gold and create the future together. Now, I have one more partner who can talk and laugh together, guard together, and move towards the future together. Everyone will be very happy!"

While listening to Sisyphus chatting and recalling the excellent Aspros whom he had known since childhood, Deftolos picked up an apple and tossed it in his hand, with a nostalgic smile on his face.

And I, looking at this face and then turning to Xisyphus, suddenly felt a move in my heart, and the scene changed—the bright sun turned into dancing candlelight, and the dark face turned into another white face with the same appearance. Only Xixu Firth's clear eyes stared at the light unchanged.

That’s right, when I first came to the Sanctuary, one night in the Sagittarius Palace, Aspulos and Sisyphus were having a discussion about the future.At that time, the faint expression of Sisyphus gradually overlapped with the unbearable pain just now—the same overlap!

It's the same thing!why?Oracles and the future? !Could it be that the oracle also said that the future of Sisyphus is like a dark evil star! ?

I gasped, and I almost couldn't hold the apple as soon as my hands softened. They cast their eyes on me one after another——I tried my best to coordinate my expressions and walked forward, "You two are talking here, I look at the apple. It’s like a vivid and serene picture, and I’m fascinated by it.”

Sisyphus smiled slightly, his chestnut hair was shining warmly in the sun, and his whole body did have a warm and soothing aura from head to toe-but, dear, do you know what future you are carrying? ?Are you fighting to the death?And the way to fight is to constantly reflect on yourself outrageously?Because you actually think in your heart that you will be a sinner?

Everything is coherent and logical, especially his habitual self-blame engraved into his soul----I bit my lip and tried my best to hide the pain and looked at Sisyphus, my most beloved precious wing , Have you actually encountered such an oracle?

This afternoon in Aries, suspicions seemed to become clearer and clearer in the passing time. From time to time, I looked at the dark iron mask of Deftolos on the table, and I was deeply pinched by myself——Iron Mask Are masks cruel?But I'm afraid, there is a more terrifying and vicious invisible imprisonment, a heavy cross like atonement, who is nailed to it? !I stared wide-eyed at a man who was always smiling--

After hearing Deftolos say that his brother had determined to become the pope since he was a child, in order to end his dark life of not seeing the sun and standing side by side in the sanctuary, Sisyphus nodded slightly, with kindness and understanding in his eyes.

I lowered my eyelashes to hide the sudden flash of anger born of anger.

When I returned to the Sagittarius Palace, Sisyphus reached out and touched my forehead. He thought my flushed cheeks were due to a fever.

I said that I was heated by the sun.Then he reminded Sisyphus softly that in the eyes of Aspros, the only competitor for the position of Pope is you—you, you should be more careful.

Sisyphus laughed again, "Minos, do you really want me to be pope?"

I shook my head, I haven't paid attention to this position yet.However, "Whether you are the pope or not, you are the most prestigious hero in the sanctuary, the shield of everyone, and the best fighter. No one else can compare with you." I said firmly.

He let out a breath, reached out and tapped the tip of my nose, "Thanks for the love and praise, but Minos...you like me so much and are closest to me, so you are biased, and you can't see a better and more suitable person."

"Who?" I asked unconvinced.

He didn't answer me, but after deliberating for a while, his smile faded a bit, and he gently held my hand, "Minos... I know that after returning from this journey, the rumors in the sanctuary say that I am the best hero." Where did the words come from - you're for me, aren't you?"

"Because you are." I raised my face and said with a bit of sad anger.

He shook his head, patted the back of my hand, as a gesture of reassurance, "Minos, I want to tell you that I have asked His Excellency the Pope not to consider me as his successor, that is, I withdraw from the competition for the Pope's heir. "

I opened my mouth in surprise, but when I saw his clear and gentle eyes, I immediately calmed down my surprise and smiled at him, "Okay, I see. It's nothing."

"Then, do you support my approach? Minos, don't you ask me why I gave up?"

I said sincerely, "As long as it is your will, how can I have any objection? Since you decide to quit, dear Sisyphus, I respect and welcome all the choices you make. You know, I like you, and you It doesn't matter if it's a pope candidate or not."

He was moved when he heard it, but he squeezed my hand slightly—why would he be a little nervous?Sisyphus?

"You are so kind, Minos. So understanding and kind, such a beauty on the inside - and there is one thing I think I can tell you - after seeing it with my own eyes, you don't care Deft After the oracle of the dark evil star of Loth."

I held my breath, my heart seemed to be tightly squeezed by his words.

"I am not qualified for the position of pope because I have also received Delphi's oracle about the future—" He closed his eyes, his thick eyelashes drooping heavily, his hands twitched slightly, and I immediately Knock back, rub and hold tightly.

When I opened it again, I saw frankness and fearlessness in his eyes, "I am destined to be swallowed by darkness. I will bring a disaster like destruction to the sanctuary. For this I must make compensation and protect those people with all my strength." Friends who truly carry a bright future."

Here it is, his Delphic oracle!really----

I exhaled a painful breath from the lobe of my lungs, and seeing his clear and magnanimous expression suppressing the pain, I tried my best to tell myself to be calm, not to hate, hate Athena and the witches of Delphi---with all my heart Another powerful emotion surging, covering hatred.My dearest golden wings, I must comfort him first.

"My dear Sisyphus..." I heard my trembling voice, "If you are destined to be swallowed by darkness, then I am willing to be the light in the darkness, whether it is fireflies, starry sky, or moonlight ----I will always be with you, and let you see that there is undeniable beauty in darkness, so what's the big deal about being swallowed by darkness?"

This time, he clasped his hands tightly with mine, his fingers were hot.I buried myself in his embrace, and vaguely felt that he even kissed my hair lightly——I was getting closer and closer to him, reluctant to let go, and at the same time, I began to realize belatedly: Since the oracle is the real future, then I am undoubtedly the one who led him into the so-called "darkness", the real guide.

Sisyphus will be with me, and he will abandon this damned whitewashed Athena and her sanctuary--she and the bitches of Delphi, how can they, with this oracular means, Put an invisible shackle of guilt on you? !How dare they treat you like this? !Damn whores of the bunch - damn all of them! !

And the dark world that was deliberately belittled and slandered by these sluts... I will show Sisyphus what is the beauty and charm that comes from the real darkness - because I am alive.

The author has something to say:

In this story, the reason for the destruction of the sanctuary (that is, all the buildings were turned into ruins and completely smashed)...
