[Greek Mythology] Picking up a little moon

Chap.24 The Brainwashing of the Sun Goddess

Just before the lead arrow was about to hit Aponis, a turning point occurred.

An ordinary arrow came through the air and directly knocked out the lead arrow in Clytie's hand——Clytie was startled by the sudden arrow, and his whole body tilted, directly He fell to the ground beside him.

Altis was stunned when the arrow flew over, but he reacted quickly - he immediately waved his hand and made a rope made of moonlight, binding Clytie's hands.Clytie seemed to know that there was no turning point, and after falling to the ground, he just lowered his head and looked at the ground without saying a word.

Aponis stared blankly at Altis who had stood up as if she had just woken up from a dream, then turned her head and looked at Clytie who had fallen to the ground.

"Clytie? What do you...?" The Sun Goddess, who hadn't figured out the situation at first, was about to reach out to help Clytie, but she found the lead arrow and the gun in her hand. The moonlight ribbons that bound her hands——The blond goddess glanced thoughtfully at the black-haired male god who seemed to be able to freeze the air surrounding him, and seemed to understand something.

Aponis stood up and walked to Altis' side.She stretched out her hand and gently wrapped it around his neck, causing the tall and thin black-haired man to lower his head and look straight into the bottom of those silver-gray eyes.

really.The eyes that usually looked at her with warmth were now covered with a thick layer of frost.All Aponis could see was the endless coldness and fear, just like the ice on the peak of Mount Ada that had not melted for thousands of years, she only felt cold.

"Don't worry," she pressed her forehead to his, "I'll be fine."

They stared at each other for a while before Artis blinked and hugged Aponis tightly.

Aponis looked at Clytie with mixed feelings.

"Why are you doing this?" She looked at the Sea Fairy without the tenderness and joy that Clytie liked most, "What can you get by doing this?"

Clytie, who still looked weak and weak, looked at Aponis obsessively, but did not answer Aponis's question.

Aponis looked at her calmly for a while.In theory, her personality has always been more cheerful and gentle,

"Do you think you can successfully stay with me if you shoot me with a lead arrow?" The blond goddess looked at Clytie who fell on the ground expressionlessly, "Do you really think that Cupid Will lead arrows and golden arrows make me fall in love with you? Not to mention that Artis and I are not lovers, even if..."

"He's not good enough for you!" Clytie interrupted Aponis excitedly, "He's just an unknown male god, he doesn't..."

"Do you know what you're talking about, Clytie?" Aponis's expression became darker and colder than ever before, "It's okay for you to say me, but you shouldn't say Artis!"

"Why can't I say him!" Clytie's voice rose instantly, and her cheeks flushed slightly because of excitement, "Aponis! You are the daughter of the king of the gods, you are noble, you are still Beautiful and proud Goddess of the Sun, you are so outstanding! At the beginning, I watched His Highness Helios pass by the sky every day, and then I looked at you again... His Highness Helios is far less beautiful and noble than you. You compare! And this male god! Artis has neither noble status nor outstanding ability, why can he be by your side, why can he be treated differently by you! He is not worthy!"

Clytie has completely given up.She had even given up calling Aponis "Your Highness" and called her by her first name.

Apparently Artis also noticed this problem.He didn't make a sound, but waved his hand again, making the ribbon that bound Clytie tighter.His eyes became even colder.

Aponis was displeased by her words.She stared at Clytie, and when she was about to speak, Altis held her hand.

It was obviously not a very warm hand, but that kind of touch made Aponis feel particularly at ease.She took the other's hand back, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Although her mood still hasn't returned to normal level, because of Artis' actions, she is still a little relieved.

This was her Al, the Al who had promised to be with her forever.

Artis held Aponis' hand and looked at Clytie coldly.

"You're right." Artis's voice was not loud, even a little low, so that the surrounding gods could clearly hear that he was in a bad mood, "I am indeed a god of unknown origin."

Hearing his words, Aponis took a deep breath.The hand that she and Artis held each other clenched harder.

Feeling the slight pain in his hand, Artis turned his head and looked at the blonde goddess beside him comfortingly.

Aponis bit her lip and lowered her head.She let go of his hand.

"My identity is unknown, I have no noble status, I am not the child of the king of the gods, and I am not born with any ability to be a god." He spoke slowly, as if he was telling a story— —But I don’t know why, but Aponis could tell that his anger was not because Clytie scolded him, but because of other reasons.

Altis walked towards Clytie slowly and step by step, and finally stopped beside her, looking down at the sea nymph sitting on the ground.

"But you're not me."

Silver-gray eyes looked at Clytie coldly, without any emotion in the eyes: "Because you are not me, so you can't accompany her like me."

Seeing that Clytie seemed to want to refute Artis, Aponis narrowed her eyes, took two steps forward, and walked to Artis' side.

"You say that Al is not worthy of me? Clytie, to be honest, do you think you are qualified to say this?"

Aponis spoke word by word, her voice was firm and clear, and every word she uttered pierced into Clytie's heart like a sharp knife, punctured her imagination, and was pierced by reality. Blood dripping.

"Al was born on the island of Delos, the goddess of Asteria. He is the god of the crescent moon, the god of healing, the god of hunting, and one of the twelve main gods of Mount Olympus. Since I was born, Al has been with me By my side, growing up with me, becoming a god with me, why do you say he is not worthy? What do you think he is not worthy of? If a god like him is not worthy of being by my side, then... are you worthy? "

"Because you worship the sun, so you like me, I understand you, and I will give you the light and warmth you like," the face of the sun goddess seemed to become sacred and inviolable under the shroud of her own golden sunlight , "But, have you ever thought about whether you really like me?"

Clytie didn't speak, just looked at her blankly.

Seeing the once well-behaved and cute little loli showing such an expression of hatred and madness, Aponis couldn't bear it.

"You said that you once watched Helios driving the sun chariot so intently, right? Haven't you ever admired him?" Aponis softened her voice, "Helios is also a What an excellent man~"

The originally scary expression on Clytie's face gradually turned into a sense of loss, as if he was thinking about something.

"You are not obsessed with me because you like me." Aponis's voice is very soft, and her own voice is very nice, it sounds like she is singing, "You only fell in love with me because I am the sun god." Likes me—you just like the warmth and the light of the sun to look at me, don't you?"

"But you are the Sun Goddess..." As if being hypnotized, Clytie just looked straight ahead, his eyes seemed to be out of focus, "Because it's you..."

"No," Aponis brought her perfect face in front of Clytie, her eyes were gentle, "Look at me and tell me, do you really like Aponis?"

Altis has mixed feelings about Aponis' behavior that seems to be forcibly brainwashing others.

I thought it was a sadomasochism - of course, the sadomasochist must be Artis, the god who was shot by the golden arrow. The bloody love triangle, and now it seems to be developing in an even weirder direction. As a normal Luna, he really doesn't know what he should say.

At the beginning, when she said he was good, Artis felt that her mood seemed to clear up; but then, she did not say that she liked herself, but tried every means to make Cluti feel happy. Er's heart knot was untied-should it be said that he is a fan of brains?It seems that Clytie will listen to everything she says.

#喜欢的姐姐很很很很很很很感, so my heart is very stuffy, how can I break it.Urgent, wait online. #

However, Aponis's brainwashing also really achieved her goal.

After being confused for a while, the gentle and cowardly sea fairy looked at Aponis firmly: "What I like is the sun. I adore you, but I also adore His Highness Helios—I just yearn for the sun."

Altis, who has been watching the whole process by the side, couldn't help but give Aponis 100 likes in her heart-this kind of melancholy can be brainwashed by her into a naive, cute and innocent little loli, the sun goddess The ability is too sturdy, right? !

It wasn't until Clytie returned to normal, and the lead arrow didn't know if it was broken due to too long time, Aponis and Artis remembered the great hero who helped them—if it wasn't for the With the arrow flying through the air, I'm afraid the two of them will really have a sadomasochistic relationship.

Standing there looking at them all the time was a beautiful and heroic huntress dressed in animal skins—the bow and arrow in her hand still looked like the one made by Artis, with Aponis’s sunshine gold on it. Line, at a glance, you can tell that this person has an unusual relationship with the sun and the moon.

"Daphne!"

Chap.25 Sun Moon and Laurel

It was Daphne who shot an arrow in time to save Aponis and Artis.

Daphne is the daughter of the river god and an excellent huntress.She looks beautiful and graceful, and has a vigorous skill. Although she has a cold personality like Artis, she usually goes out hunting with Aponis and Artis. It is the group of people who like to hunt with them. One of the virgin hunters in the world - among them, she and Callisto have the best relationship. Although they don't talk much, the two often walk side by side.

Because Daphne is a very good hunter, she is also very fond of Aponis, and because she has a good relationship with Callisto and the others, Aponis and Artis also gave her a bow and arrow as a gift.Daphne herself likes this group of Olympus gods who like to hunt very much. After receiving the gifts from them, she seems to become more enthusiastic with them-although she seems to be taller than the usual Artis cold.

"Daphne!" Aponis waved her hand excitedly, "Thank you for helping us!"

But Daphne's expression didn't look very happy.She glanced at Aponis with a cold face, pursed her lips, and turned to look at Artis.

Although Aponis really likes Daphne, it is obvious that Daphne has no intention of getting along well with her at all, and maybe her favorability is still negative—but I don’t know why, it seems that her attitude towards Artis it will be better.

"I didn't help you," Daphne snorted, still not looking at Aponis, "I just didn't want to make Her Highness Altis sad."

Artis looked gratefully at this pretty stubborn girl.Seemingly noticing Artis' gaze, Daphne turned her head to the side, and instead of continuing to look at him, she just let her hair tucked behind her ears fall down, covering her cheeks.

Aponis felt a subtle discomfort in her heart.However, she has always been relatively big, and she didn't care about this little problem.

"You really helped us, so you don't need to be humble!" Aponis put her arms around Daphne's shoulders like she usually played with Athena, and didn't notice the moment her hand touched Daphne. The poor goddess froze in an instant, looking particularly... awkward.

Although Aponis is the girl he likes and Daphne is his friend, seeing how "getting along well" they are, Altis doesn't seem to want to stop them from interacting, but feels happy to see it happen— Of course, no one else knew what he was thinking.

Probably because he untied the knot in his heart, Clytie looked more cheerful.She gave Daphne a sympathetic look, and boldly spoke up to save the somewhat arrogant fairy: "Your Highness Aponis, do you want to let Daphne go first...?"

It wasn't until Aponis realized that her actions didn't seem to be very good.She let go of Daphne with some embarrassment, and smiled apologetically at her.

But her habitual action of grabbing her skirt made Daphne's complexion even worse - although her face was a little red, her expression proved that she didn't like Aponis' touch.

"Since His Royal Highness Aponis doesn't like my breath so much, please don't touch me—I'm just an ordinary daughter of the river god. Since His Royal Highness doesn't like me, I'm self-aware." When Daphne said this, although her cheeks were slightly flushed, her movements and expressions proved that she really hated Aponis' touch and performance.

Aponis has a straightforward personality and expressive expressions, but she is not stupid.When she heard Daphne's obviously disliked words, she immediately understood that this girl had a certain degree of hostility towards her.

Although she didn't know why Daphne was hostile to her, Aponis looked at the pair of bows and arrows in her hand, then at Artis, and was keenly aware that her hostility towards her seemed to be the same as that of Artis. related.

Does Daphne like Altis?No, it's impossible - Daphne's expression on Altis didn't change at all, it seemed that she was just looking at a stranger,

She glanced at Artis, thinking that Artis might be looking at Daphne, but when she looked over, she happened to meet Artis' eyes—she blinked and showed Artis A very broad smile.

Artis slightly evoked a small smile, and the expression on his face was like melting ice and snow.Although it wasn't a very bright smile, the slightly warm expression was even more attractive. I believe that even if Callisto and the others were present, they would definitely blush because of his expression.

Aponis became happy because of Artis' expression.Maybe she didn't even realize that, in fact, as long as Artis smiled at her, her mood would change naturally, become more cheerful, and have a magical sweet feeling.

As for Daphne's dislike for her, Aponis didn't take it to heart - she is Aponis that everyone will like, as long as she works harder, she firmly believes that she will definitely be able to get Daphne's favorability.

She is the most beautiful goddess on Mount Olympus - Aponis automatically ignores Aphrodite - she just wants to win a cute girl, it is not a matter of minutes for her!She is the goddess who once teased all the girls on the mountain with Athena!

So, Aponis showed a seductive smile, and blinked fiercely at Daphne:

"Beauty, do you want a date?" (No)

As a girl with normal three views and normal sexual orientation, Daphne certainly didn't bother to talk to her.

Daphne was indeed a friend to the two of them—but only a friend.They first met when they were hunting, because Artis and Aponis would always take their group of maids to hunt together from God, and she also likes hunting, so she met them .

In fact, Daphne is a girl with a cold face and a cold heart.Because she doesn't like to be too noisy, and the girls who go out with Aponis and Artis usually hunt together in a quieter way, and usually those who like to talk will go out in groups to play by themselves, so Daphne likes to stay with them very much. Together—but only together, except for Callisto, none of the gods had a deeper relationship with her.

Although Aponis looks careless, she is actually a very sensitive goddess.She soon realized that Daphne hadn't actually integrated into their group, so her actions were actually trying to help her become friends with them—because they shared common interests, she was enthusiastic and cheerful by nature and hoped that she could be with them. Have fun together.

And when Aponis hugged Daphne's shoulders, Daphne's blush was enough to prove that she didn't hate her as much as she showed-which made her very happy.

Although she acted like she hated her, in fact Daphne was just a duplicity and arrogance—Aponis automatically translated Daphne's expression into such a meaning, and gave herself a row of likes again in her heart.

Probably because of the victory in the first battle, although Aponis also saw Daphne's somewhat disgusted expression, she optimistically took that expression as she was actually being arrogant, so she completely ignored the disgusting taste there.

"Let's go hunting together," Aponis said happily, and saw Orion who was standing on the other side watching them all the time, and waved to him, beckoning him to go hunting with them.

Orion is actually an excellent hunter, and he even has several very powerful hounds—the best of which is named Silius, who is black and very brave—since someone said he wanted to go with him , he would naturally agree.It's just that there are a few more gods, which will not affect his ability to play.

Thus, this peculiar hunting team was formed.

Because a "trouble" was solved, Aponis was in a very good mood.After Callisto and the others also arrived, their hunting began. Even Clytie, who was the quietest, picked up a bow and arrow, mounted her mount, and entered with them. forest.

And seems to have forgotten the danger that Clytie almost brought just now, Artis also behaved relatively normal, seeing the occasional "intimacy" like holding hands between Aponis and Clytie during the hunting process If you touch it, you have the right to act as if you didn't see anything.

Although he really wanted to do something similar to revenge on Clytie, but Aponis didn't show any displeasure, and he wouldn't show it - as long as Aponis is fine.

There are very good hunters in this team.Needless to say, Aponis and Artis, Daphne and Orion are also very powerful. They have gained a lot in the process of chasing and playing. Daphne has even begun to respond to Aponis' challenge and agreed to compete with her Chase the next prey together to see who is faster.

However, just when Aponis was about to catch the prey, she received a notification from the mother god.

"Aponis, my daughter, I need you to come back quickly - your mother goddess needs your help!"

Chap.26 The Arrogant Queen Niobe

Leto, the goddess of the night, is the mother of Aponis. She is a gentle goddess who doesn't like to cause trouble. Except for Aponis and Artis who will go to chat with her and accompany her, she usually doesn't appear in front of people easily. , even the temples and sacrifices are very low-key.

But what happened this time really pissed off this low-key and peaceful goddess—this incident made Leto furious, and when Aponis and Artis came back, what they saw was The palace that was left in a mess by Leto's anger.

The prophecy told Aponis that there was a very ignorant woman in the world who dared to provoke her mother god, and she knew that what she would do next was to help the mother god get revenge.

"Mother, we are back," Aponis stepped over the broken pottery on the ground and came to Leto.This morning, the Goddess of the Sun held her mother's hands and looked at her with concern, "What kind of stupid human being dares to provoke a great goddess like you?"

"Aponis, my daughter, and Artis, my dear children," Leto said with a sullen face, his originally beautiful face turned gloomy, "Have you ever heard of Thebes?"

"I've heard of it a little bit." Aponis thought for a while, "It's just a small city-state that is not worth mentioning. Does anyone there dare to offend such a great mother like you?"

"Yes, it is such an insignificant little city-state that someone dares to challenge my dignity," Leto snorted, "The queen of Thebes, that stupid and ignorant woman, I want you to deal with her, let She paid for her actions."

Artis was about to ask Leto what happened, but Aponis grabbed her hand.Altis was stunned for a moment, and obediently listened to Aponis' words.

"Don't worry, mother. We will deal with her well! She will regret what she has done." Aponis hugged her mother tightly, then saluted her, and pulled her Artis left the palace.

Altis is smart.Although he didn't realize why Aponis did this at first, but he quickly realized that he followed her out of the palace obediently without asking any questions.

As soon as he left Leto's territory, Artis held Aponis back: "You didn't ask what happened to the Mother Goddess, is it because the prophecy told you what we need to know?"

Aponis nodded: "Yes, the prophecy has told me exactly what's going on."

It turned out that Niobe, the queen of Thebes, had seven sons and seven daughters.She has an outstanding bearing and appearance, and she and her husband are the supreme rulers of this country, and because the seven sons are all very heroic, and the seven daughters are also excellent and beautiful, in the eyes of everyone, they are all A very happy family - so this self-righteous queen thinks that she is even happier than Leto, the night goddess who gave birth to the sun goddess and the moon god, and even prevents her own people from offering sacrifices, and forbids her children The people offered tribute to Leto.

Little did she know while she was doing these things, that now her arrogance and stupidity had won her nothing but death in the end.

Although Artis is not her real son, in Leto's view, there is no difference between him.Although he is not Leto's son, he almost regards her as his own mother, and will take care of and accompany her with Aponis, even more respect and love for Hera than Ares—so Leto also loves her. The child is very satisfied.

But Aponis came up with such a cruel way to revenge the queen—she asked Altis to go with her, and they shot and killed Niobe's seven sons and seven daughters respectively.

After all, they are gods on high.For them, human life is like ants, which can be put to death at any time - and Niobe has done such an excessive thing, so disrespectful to her mother, Aponis will naturally drive them all to death .

Since Niobe was proud of her seven sons and seven daughters, Aponis would deprive her of her fourteen proud children.

But such a harsh punishment is just a punishment for human beings by a god like Aponis.

Aponis pulled Artis to a small hill.

"Look, there is Thebes. Niobe is the queen there. She is playing with his sons and daughters, and she does look happy!" Half of Aponis's face was cast in the shadow Among them, under the reflection of the shadow, such a delicate face actually felt a little dark, which made her completely different from usual, "If it wasn't for such stupidity, Niobe might really be able to continue to be happy. ..."

The blond goddess paused and snorted.

"She offended the happiest mother in the world, so I will make her pay the most terrible price—" Aponis narrowed her eyes, "I will make her lose her child and become the most miserable person in the world .”

Looking at Aponis who seemed to have turned black, Artis was a little worried, but still agreed to her suggestion—although it should no longer be called a suggestion, but a prophecy.

"Okay," Artis prepared his bow and arrows, and pointed the direction at the city-state, "Let's start."

Seeing Altis readying the bow and arrow without hesitation, Aponis smiled and clenched the weapon in her hand.

Aponis decided to let Niobe lose her son first.She set up the bow and arrow, shot seven arrows in a row, and then stood there, quietly waiting for the result.And she knew that she would succeed.

Not long after, there was a burst of mournful cries from that direction—Aponis knew that her goal had been achieved.

She killed the seven sons of Niobe.

Hearing Niobe's miserable cry, Aponis softened her heart.

She glanced at Altis.

"I suddenly felt that she was so pitiful." Aponis scratched her hair a bit tangled, "Although she originally had fourteen children, we killed seven of them just like this..."

Just when Aponis was about to let them go, Niobe spoke again—she said that she still had more children than Leto.

Regarding this behavior, which was obviously aimed at setting a flag for her daughter, Aponis decided to fulfill her.

The blond goddess looked sullenly at the Moon God who had never expressed much expression.

"Your turn, Al dear." She shook his hand.

Artis was as soft-hearted as Aponis—but Niobe was so stupid that she wanted to push her daughters into hell with her own hands.

After she said those words, her end was already doomed.

Artis nodded and set up his bow and arrow.

His target was naturally the seven daughters of Niobe.

Artis's arrow skills are also very good, he quickly shot six arrows.And these six arrows were the same as Aponis's, and all of them hit.

Niobe stared blankly at the daughters who fell next to her one after another, as if she was completely speechless.In her arms, her youngest daughter was burying her head in her mother's arms, as if to escape the call of death.And Niobe also turned sideways, as if he wanted to use his body to block the last arrow that might come from the gods.

She had lost all her children except this one daughter, and she hoped to keep one last—she already knew how wrong she was.

For some reason, watching the actions of the mother and daughter, Artis slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand.

Facing such a mother and daughter, he was a little helpless.

Aponis, who had been watching him from the side, finally saw that something was wrong with him, and spoke up.

"What's wrong with you, Al?" Aponis reached out and put her hand on his arm lightly, "Is there something wrong?"

Artis was silent for a while, and finally stretched out his other hand, and took back the hand that belonged to Aponis on his arm.

"I don't know what's wrong with me." Artis said, "But looking at the girl's actions, I really couldn't shoot the last arrow—as if someone had done that to me before. .”

Aponis froze for a moment, looked at the actions of Niobe and her little daughter, and for a while didn't know what to say.

"That's it, okay?" Artis looked at Aponis and said slowly, "Niobe has only one daughter left now, and you are a hundred times better than that poor child—if you If I want, I can also be the son of Mother Leto... Mother Leto is much happier than this stupid woman... What do you think?"

For some reason, Artis felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of the actions of the poor mother and daughter just now.

He really can't do it.

"Well, since you said that." Aponis nodded after thinking for a while, "After all, the mother just said that she wanted to take revenge on him... I think losing seven sons and six daughters is enough to make her sad That's right, let her have a little daughter!"

Seeing that Aponis agreed to leave the little girl alive, Artis was relieved.

"I can tell, Al, you seem to like that girl very much?" Just when Artis thought that Aponis was about to leave, she suddenly said this, which made Artis a little nervous again.

"No, I didn't like her." Artis said hastily, "I just thought of something."

He must have seen that kind of action a long time ago—then when exactly was "a long time ago"?

Artis felt that if he could recall the time and place of the kind of action he had seen or experienced, maybe he could find out his real origin.

Clytie's words had a great influence on him—in any case, there seemed to be a subconscious in his heart, hoping that he would be the most suitable male god for Aponis.
