[Greek Mythology Saint Hades Mythology LC] Golden Age

That year, the olive groves at the foot of the mountain still ushered in a bumper harvest. Many businessmen came to Greece to purchase this season. The port was busy with ships, and it was a prosperous scene.And in my mansion, there are also Venetian merchants displaying various goods. I especially admire the oriental silk, tea and flowers they brought, and I like their eloquence: telling the anecdotes along the route to customers vividly , It is very conducive to the sale of goods.

But listening to the businessmen babbling, the vineyards and lavender manors in Marseille, France, have suffered disasters: the rats have been devoured and they have been devoured. I boarded several merchant ships that sailed from the port of Marseilles and docked in ports such as Venice and Greece. It was no surprise that I saw a large number of piles of hay and straw protecting the boxes on each ship.Even with my eyesight, there are still faintly trembling haystacks.

Fleas, lice and other small things are hidden inside, and there are even mice, following the human footprints to land in one city after another, what will it bring?

I thought for a moment, and immediately placed a large order with several merchants I knew well: I told them to collect wax-soaked linen cloth, pomegranate and violet flowers, as much as possible, and send them to Greece as soon as possible.

After seeing off the merchants, I hurriedly carried out a series of actions in the mansion and the Sagittarius Palace: all the dark and wet corners were ordered to be paved with volcanic ash rocks, and the clothes and utensils used by everyone should be covered as long as they meet the sun. The weather is all out in the sun.All the rooms are to be dry and ventilated, as if they don’t need money, and the wormwood fragrance from the far east is burned all day and night——the fragrance is so heavy that everyone who enters and exits is contaminated with this smell, Just like the Indian sandalwood carried faintly by the attendants of the Virgin Palace, and the frankincense and myrrh scent of the maids of the Pope's Temple, it has become the symbol of this palace.

What am I messing with?In preparing for what is to come - as a warrior of Hades, having read the omniscient Book of Hades, I do know some useful measures: Sagittarius has a large stockpile of herbs and requires everyone to drink them every day A cup of boiled juice.

"This is for health, my dear Sisyphus. Although it tastes a bit bitter, you are the best golden saint, what is this bit of bitterness?" After Baishun's Sisyphus took it without a word of objection, he smiled and handed it to him who put down the cup, a box of honey crumbs, indicating to dispel the bitterness.

In this way, he happily let me toss every day.I also incidentally involved Regulus -- and Aries, who actually offered to keep me in check, and... followed by Libra.

After months of busy preparation, my hunch came true.The pioneer before the arrival of Pluto: a large-scale epidemic began to break out in some places, regardless of high or low, powerfully eroding and devouring human life.

Coughing, high fever, and vomiting, people with these symptoms will suffer and die without exception. In those prosperous cities in the past, there is no bustling and noisy scene anymore, only corpse trucks ringing bells, in the smoke The lingering streets and alleys can't cover the rancid smell, and they staggered past.All the corpses, men, women, young and old, nobles and commoners, were thrown into the big pit outside the city.Fortunately, most of the dead souls did not carry coins that could cross the Aglon River. They just wandered by the river forever. If they all went to the First Inquisition Court, how much trouble would be added to Luni who was working instead of me. .

The plague spread along the sea route, and both Rome and Venice became the hardest hit areas. I knew the reason, and it was no surprise that I heard that the first case appeared in the village of Rodrió at the foot of the mountain in early summer.

Staring at the towering Athena statue, I sneered.How many stupid human beings at the bottom of the mountain are piously chanting in this direction, praying to this goddess for protection!

Human beings who lack knowledge want to stop the spread, and there is no way out. Several lords and kings who are known as violent have done it: they ordered to build a high wall around the city where the disease was discovered, and strictly prohibited anyone from contacting People who come out of the city will be executed if they come into contact with them.Would the goddess Athena, who claims to love humans, be willing to use this method?Hehehehe.

With the immortality of the underworld, I have no fear, watching the excitement.And he followed Sisyphus tightly.Although I secretly ordered him to take anti-epidemic medicinal materials in advance, I still can't rest assured that as soon as he leaves Sagittarius Palace and intends to go down the mountain, he will be entangled by me for various reasons.However, it's time to come--

"Minos, today I'm just leading everyone to distribute medicinal materials to the villagers - our saint fighters are much stronger than ordinary people, so nothing will happen." He refused to take me anyway, "You take care, Stay in the Sagittarius Palace. Don't run around." After speaking, he smiled slightly, and said deliberately, "I still want to drink the health concoction you made when I come back at night, shouldn't it be time to prepare it?"

"Okay..." I reluctantly agreed, and told him not to come into close contact with patients.

Seeing that I was worried, Sisyphus patted my shoulder to comfort me and said, "Don't worry, everyone will tide over the difficulties under the blessing of the goddess."

Goddess Goddesses are Goddesses again!I couldn't help muttering, burning with anger---looking at Sisyphus's disappearing figure, I really wanted to ask loudly, what is her protection?Would she dare to run to Rodrio Village herself?Does the pope dare to let the protagonist of the jihad go to the epidemic area?Sitting on the top of the mountain, of course they can show the so-called kindness without pain!

And this damn goddess, since the first case appeared, would she dare to order that house to be sealed off, only allowed to enter but not to come out?Do you dare to order a fire to burn down the house and the corpses in it?Now they only dare to let the golden saints who were originally in a relatively safe area take risks--just to gain their own reputation for benevolence and benevolence! !

I hated Athena, and I was worried about Sisyphus' situation. What kind of saint warrior's strong physique, if it is really useful, how could his brother Elias be infected with terminal lung disease?In case my prior epidemic prevention is not enough to protect him - no, there is another way!

I swear, if he comes back and starts to cough and have a fever, see if I don't rush to the Pope's hall, even if I rob, I will grab the remaining half of the colchicum juice - Sage, Sage, don't think I don't know Keeping that treasure is for this damn goddess who reincarnated as a human being!Save it for her to enjoy in case she needs it!

This incompetent Athena, who only knew how to pretend to be kind, could not prevent the aggravation of the epidemic.After confirming that there were several more infected people under the mountain, I no longer cared what Sisyphus would think of me, and first attacked the Sagittarius Palace that I could control: I summoned all the maids and servants and said solemnly to them, everyone Until the epidemic is over, it is forbidden to go home.If you have family and friends who must visit you, you can leave now.But after returning home, they are absolutely not allowed to enter the sanctuary again.

The traditional behavior of benevolent visits, loving care, and caring for each other in the sanctuary was strictly prohibited by me, and such unreasonable orders and dissatisfied gossip quickly spread to other palaces, and then to the Pope's hall, but they did not There was no order to stop me from doing this, so I became more and more confident, and even ran to the entrance guarded by soldiers at the outermost edge of the sanctuary—anyway, the Pope wants to use me to be such a villain, how can I live up to what he has given me? What about my high hopes?

To keep the disease out of the sanctuary, harsh measures must be taken.I bossed and ordered the miscellaneous soldiers not to let anyone in without holy clothes. As for those who have bronze and silver holy clothes, they must take off their holy clothes first, and then soak them in wax in the abandoned old buildings. Inside the tight curtain, take off all the clothes and put them in the boiling water filled with herbs - you must also wash yourself from head to toe with the juice.Frankly speaking, it's not that I haven't thought about catching a few live fleas and putting them in the Goddess Temple, but after all, I still despise this kind of bug and don't want to get my hands dirty!

Treating the saints who claim to represent justice and love like rubbish, naturally aroused their serious dissatisfaction. One day, I ordered the soldiers to stop a little maid from the goat palace, just not allowing this crying girl to go up the mountain , in the eyes of the low-level brainless saints who were already dissatisfied with me, I became a cruel villain with a heart as hard as a stone: they gathered, some helped this weak little girl, and some began to attack me--- -

I despise this group of people. If it wasn't for the fact that Sisyphus would be in danger once the sanctuary became an epidemic area, turning this place into a dead city would be in my mind!So I sneered and ridiculed them for disregarding the safety of the goddess——

These bastards became even more angry, saying that the goddess Athena represented love and kindness, and would never ignore the weak crying and remain indifferent.

Being trampled on the taboo in my heart, I was furious, and when I was about to explode, Shi Ang, who guarded the first house and was in a privileged position, who was the fastest to see any troubles, rushed over.

Under the glare of the sun, the big ram's horns, which represent the status of the golden saints, were so bright that they could clearly illuminate the pile of figures.

"We are all partners, don't conflict."

Several silver saints greeted him respectfully, Shi On smiled, helped the little girl up first, comforted her a few words in a low voice, walked over to me and said, "Minos, I also agree with most of your The method is that this girl’s home has been isolated and cannot enter, if she does not return to the Sanctuary, she will have nowhere to go, can you place her in your mansion down the mountain?”

After weighing it up, I was afraid that Shion would tell Sisyphus that I refused to help others, so I had to swallow my humiliation and accept this disgusting condition--fortunately, my human butler knew what to do: skin her into a little white sheep Just wash and soak!

Then Shion gave another task to the silver saints with excess energy: I listened with all my ears, the Pope also suspected that the epidemic had something to do with Pluto, and told them to go to the forest cathedral in Italy to check—— I heard that countless people went here to pray for God's salvation.

I secretly sneered and watched these saints leave, and I promise that this trip will never return.

After Shi Ang resolved the storm, he didn't go back. He carefully looked at the large amount of herbs and felt cloth that had been brought down from the Sagittarius Palace: the miscellaneous soldiers were busy setting up the curtain and boiling the soup.

He suddenly said to me, "Minos, thank you for doing these things for the sanctuary, although I think...you seem to have been prepared for the outbreak of the plague."

I turned my eyes to stare at him, but he smiled at me, "Anyway, it's a good thing to have foresight, and I'll thank you this time. You're really capable, and you're worthy of Sisyphus's side."

This sounded good to my ears, I smiled at Shi On, and said leisurely, "The jihad is about to break out, you must be ready to encounter a strong enemy."

Aries stretched out the white cloak behind him with great momentum.He said proudly, "Every soldier is preparing to fight against the Underworld Army. Before that, the Sanctuary will successfully eradicate this epidemic... Look, Minos."

He is as fearless as a newborn lamb, and his mouth is full of declarations, but——

The sanctuary occupies a vast area, and it is not a paradise completely isolated from the surrounding area. Although Roderio Village has finally implemented a series of measures effectively, such as burning everything including the houses of the dead to prevent the spread of the disease, this extremely contagious disease , still appeared in the sanctuary: it was not the saint fighter who was infected, but the child with the weakest resistance --- the orphan adopted by Aludiba.

As a good friend of Taurus, Sisyphus will bring the few remaining children who have no cough and fever to the Sagittarius Palace for resettlement.

He looked at me who was tidying up several bedrooms, he hesitated to speak.Finally, that night, when I urged him to take a bath with medicinal herbs, Sisyphus held my hand and solemnly said, "Minos, leave here for now."

I kept silent and stared at him——Sisyphus changed his gentle and relaxed attitude towards the children, with worry on his brows, "If the children here also show symptoms... you must never ask the saint again." The mountain is spreading. I will guard them here, but the Sagittarius Palace must be closed no matter what. Minos, I hope you can go to the Pope's Hall... Lord Sage has promised to let you stay temporarily."

I shook my head resolutely, and said clearly and slowly, "Then what? Sisyphus? Tell me to be anxious and helpless up there? I'm not afraid of the epidemic, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you or take care of you."

"Minos..."

"If this is a battle, my dear Sisyphus, how can you send your comrades who are going to fight with you to a safe rear? This is a kind of distrust." I smiled slightly, The palms touched his palms, feeling the body temperature, "Please let me stay by your side."

That night, Sisyphus, who took off his holy clothes and put on simple clothes, and I, who was stubborn, guarded outside the children's bedroom, sneaked in from time to time to check if they had a fever and cough in their sleep--and every time After he came out, it was my turn to reach out and touch his forehead to test the temperature, "You're fine, that's great." I said confidently and gently.

He then touched my body temperature----

Gradually, everything became silent.Sisyphus and I sat in front of the stone colonnade, with the seedlings of hope he guarded on one side, and the beautiful summer night on the other: starlight inlaid on the dark blue sky, like a noble royal robe on earth, The scent of wormwood mixed with tuberose lingered in the corridor, and before I knew it, I was already leaning on his lap.

He still pays attention to the sound of breathing in the inner room---it's very steady, can he temporarily calm down?

I heard him exhale a long breath from his chest, leaning his body more and more to lean against him, Sisyphus put his hand on my shoulder naturally - I heard him say softly, "Seeing these children, I suddenly thought of the situation when I first came to Sanctuary, almost 20 years ago."

"At that time, I lived in the training camp at the foot of the mountain. Not long after I arrived, I encountered a rebel attack from the dark saint fighters----that night, the fire was so bright that there were burned and collapsed houses everywhere. From that day on, I desperately want to protect this safe place for everyone."

I listened quietly, and lightly touched his cheek with my fingers, "Sisyphus, don't worry too much, I think everything will be fine, the plague will end, and the sanctuary will return to normal." I whispered.

He smiled slightly when he heard the words, stared at the fireflies in the distance, nodded and said, "Yes. The children will survive this level-they are the next generation carrying the hope of the future, just like the Sanctuary Same, no matter what kind of catastrophe it encounters, it will always stand firm and have a better future."

His affection for this place is so deep... alas.I savored the word shelter I just heard, and wondered if Sisyphus, like these orphans, also encountered a situation where he was displaced and had nowhere to go?That's why he is so devoted to the sanctuary that took him in?But how can this place compare with how I treat him sincerely?Ilias became the strongest saint in vain, and even his own younger brother neglected to take care of him so that he was reduced to being used by the sanctuary--ah, it seems that the strongest Leo in the past was also busy caring for the illusory so-called How about humans and goddesses who have not been reincarnated!

I felt so much tenderness in my heart—they all weren't good enough for Sisyphus, but that's okay, let me make it up.I rubbed his arm and said in a low voice, "Sisyphus, you too must have the best future. I will witness it come true."

He smiled and stroked my head, showing great affection.

These Sagittarius children are safe and sound in the end.Even the infected one was quickly cured: for the situation had reached such a point that Pope Sage decided to pour all the remaining sap of the colchicicum into the spring - which was radiant and radiated with miraculous brilliance.The water with the miracle of the god of health flows down the holy mountain and flows into the village of Rodrio, washing away the turbidity of the disease-this has become the reason for them to praise the goddess.

Finally, the plague that has been tossing for more than half a year gradually disappeared on the earth with the arrival of winter.The sanctuary did not die, a warrior or an attendant, and everyone felt that it was the blessing of the goddess Athena.

And Athena Sasha condescended to leave the Temple of the Goddess and came down the mountain on a bright sunny day.She stood on a high altar, holding a golden staff, smiling and waving to the people who worshiped her around her. The villagers who were tortured by the epidemic were comforted by the goddess, and everyone who fought against the threat of death was rejoicing. ——But I stood in a shady corner, my eyes were burning, I stared at Sisyphus looking at Sasha, and I was so angry that my nails dug into my palm.
