and the days of Apollo herding cattle

Thebes was in chaos.

After Enoch shot Niobe into a hedgehog to warn, everyone in Thebes knew the news—they were really given immortal bodies by the great, wise and benevolent Apollo.

No matter if they were slaves, civilians or nobles, they were all excited because of this news and couldn't calm down for a long time.

The majestic voice of Apollo had been in everyone's ears, but it was one thing to hear it, another thing to know it.

The servant who had been pierced in the eyes by Niobe in the morning and almost pierced his head looked at his intact eyes on the lake in amazement.

His eyes are not big, because he dare not look at people all the year round, so his eyelids have been a little drooping, not only his eyes are small, but also the whole person is not energetic.He forcefully opened some eyelids, revealing gray pupils, empty and erratic, he could not see any yearning for life, let alone any surging flames.

As a slave, as a servant who has to serve others all his life, his life has long been fixed. Like other slave servants, he lives with trepidation and conscientiously offers some insignificant help to the life of his master.

The goddess of fate is so strict and rigid. The fate of a person like him has already been stipulated at the moment of birth.

He didn't want much, or in other words, there was only one thing they wanted - to survive.

No matter what, as long as you live, as long as you live!

They are struggling to survive, being scolded, beaten, and working hard. Even if they are beaten to a bloody mess today, they will immediately get up and continue to work the next moment.

Servants without worthless effort and perseverance have no value in living. The lives of slaves are very humble. They have to show ten thousand points of perseverance, plus one hundred thousand points of good luck, and maybe they can live in peace and stability. To die of old age naturally.

They have always worked hard with the goal of dying of old age, but now...the goal of their group has been achieved.

There is no need to start being scolded before the sun rises, and there is no need to squint for a while before dawn.

For a moment, he suddenly didn't know what to do.

But he didn't have to worry about it, because the same high-pitched scream as Niobe's eminent status resounded throughout the palace.

"People! Where did they all die—" the noble queen's voice was sharp and full of anger, and everyone who heard her voice trembled subconsciously.

The queen's temper is not generally scary. The servant was still at a loss for a second, but the instinct of the body began to play a role in this second. He hurriedly walked towards the queen's position, bent down to listen to her order, and set off to solve the problem for her. all questions.

"Eat! What to eat! What kind of rubbish are you taking! I want to eat!!!" The body is not dead, but the energy is conserved. After being shot with dozens of arrows and bleeding so much, Ben Niobe, who didn't come to eat breakfast in a hurry, was so hungry that she started to have a stomachache.

Not only the stomach, but also the intestines and spleen seem to be wriggling together, every cell in the body is clamoring for hunger.

Team after team of servants brought out plate after plate of food.Niobe cursed Enoch, who was about to be repaired by her dear father, who was meddling with no winks, and stuffed plate after plate of food into her stomach.

A chicken is gone, a duck is gone, a sheep is gone, a cow...is being eaten by Niobe.

Plates inlaid with gold, silver and precious stones were taken down like water, and a steady stream of food was brought up.

"Mother!" Niobe's handsome and tall son hurried over when he heard the news, and was startled when he saw his mother's greasy mouth and bulging belly, but she was still stuffing things into her stomach.

"Mother, stop eating!" The eldest prince looked at Niobe's stomach in horror. It should have been flat, but now it was swollen because of a chicken, a duck and a sheep. To a frightening height.

"No, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry!" Since childhood, Niobe has lived a more luxurious life than 90.00% of [-]% of human beings. You can use gemstones as water for bathing. Niobe has never tried hunger. After only a moment, Ober was overwhelmed by the feeling of hunger.

The pain from the arrow piercing through the body makes people want to die, but it will take a while, after that, pull out the arrow, and the wound will heal and the pain will be gone.

But hunger was different. It not only brought dull pain to her body, but also controlled her hand and made her keep stuffing food into her mouth, and she couldn't stop no matter what.

However, no amount of food could satisfy her hunger.Every cell in her body was sending a message to her soul—eat, go, go and eat!

"I can't eat any more! Mother, if you eat any more, your body won't be able to take it anymore!" The eldest prince was extremely anxious, especially under the impact of Niobe's huge belly and crazily swallowing, fear crept into his heart little by little. .

Niobe's seven sons and seven daughters also lived in this luxurious and beautiful palace. After receiving the servant's message, the princes and princesses came one after another, and they began to advise their mothers .But such verbal persuasion did not help.

"I can't go on like this, my mother's stomach will be burst by these things!"

Yeah, what is the limit of a person?No one has tried it, but a chicken, a duck, a sheep, and a cow that is almost finished in a few mouthfuls, I think this is the limit.

Although there is no death now, if this continues, it may explode, and it will not look good when food, blood and pieces of meat are blown everywhere!

"Come on, take the softest cloth in the palace and tie up mother."

After discussing with the princes and princesses, they had to make such an unbearable decision.

"What are you doing! What are you doing! I am Niobe! Queen of Thebes, daughter of Tantalus, granddaughter of Zeus, you cannot tie me up!"

"Mother..." Niobe's youngest daughter couldn't bear to see her mother's miserable condition, covered her face and began to cry, "Mother, please, just be patient, if you continue to eat like this, you will have problems..."

"Ah—I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry—you let me go, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat! I am the most honorable woman, you can't do this to me! Let me go—ah—"

Niobe has always claimed that she is the most honorable woman. At the same time, in order to maintain her "most honorable" status, she has never been able to move without moving. She is spoiled and spoiled. She can't lift anything heavier than tableware. Where are the servants and maids who can survive these years of toil?

Niobe yelled, cursed, cursed these dirty and hungry slaves, insulted gods like Apolloinok who only watched the show, and finally, even the princes and princesses who gave the order to "tie them up" Added to the cursing deluxe package by her.

"Mother, we are also doing this for your own good. You have already eaten more food than you can bear today. Take a rest, let's take a rest, and we will continue to eat after we have digested the contents of the stomach, okay?" the eldest prince asked. Be patient and speak as gently as possible.

"Ahhhh—" Niobe was about to be driven mad by hunger and the disrespect of his sons and daughters, "My good son, my good daughter, my sweet babies, my mother's good children, I beg you , let me take another bite, just one bite."

With tears streaming down her cheeks, the eldest princess softly placed a feather-like kiss on Niobe's beautiful face: "Mother, please, please bear with me a little longer."

Niobe became quiet, and her red eyes swept over one child after another. Apart from hunger, there seemed to be some other emotions in her eyes, but no one cared at this time.

Because...they were hungry too.

However, they had already had breakfast after waking up—before Apollo's blessing, there was not much consumption today, so the hunger they could feel at this time was quite subtle.

Several princes and princesses gently covered their stomachs, lowered their eyes and wondered what they were thinking, while the other servants present widened their foggy and empty eyes for the first time, and looked at the bed Lying Niobe, the woman they tied up themselves.

"It's so pitiful..." Apollo sighed compassionately, his blue eyes were deeply sympathetic and melancholy, "So many children, so many good children who are proud of themselves, but they tied themselves up regardless of their will." The 'orderer' who can't move on the bed."

"If you really want to pity her, can you put away the smug smile on your lips?" Athena dismissed Apollo's affectation.

"Of course not!" Enoch kissed Apollo's beautiful lips, "It's so beautiful, I'm happy to see it, very happy!"

Apollo smiled modestly, and then placed a kiss on Enoch's lips as well: "Thank you for the praise of the wise God Enoch."

Athena was almost blinded by this pair of hypocritical and deliberate affectionate dogs.

"Brother, I have to say that Brother Enoch's idea is much better than yours!" Artemis obviously hated Niobe the most for mocking Leto for having only two children, a boy and a girl.What's so great about having more children, no amount of these people can equal her!If the child is not filial, seventy will not work.

I didn't know how these princes and princesses were doing before, but now I can see some of them. They kept calling their mother and worrying about them, but when their dear mother's belly swelled so hard, few people went up to stop them in person. He will frown on one side and never forget the elegant posture of a prince and princess.

"It's not over yet!"
