Hades put the pen in his hand on the table, and did not see the joy of the visitor in his eyes, but glanced out vigilantly, as if examining the true face of the outsider.

After confirming that the only gods who came were Hermes and Eros, he silently nodded, indicating that he could open the door to invite guests, and then he looked at Persephone realizing something.

she is not happy?

Hades stepped forward and came behind her in an instant, silently observing all her movements.She is carefully tidying up her pens and inks, and there is nothing unusual.The contents of the various clay scrolls placed on the table flashed in his eyes, and there was nothing that could make people sad.

So why is Persephone so depressed.

Hades frowned slightly, and unconsciously reached out to touch her hair to calm her unstable emotions.

When Hermes grabbed Eros's shirt and quickly flew through the door, he saw the ruthless Pluto, looking at Persephone with his head full of flowers with a "heartbroken old father" expression. .

The corner of his mouth twisted, he was really used to Hades' face that was harder than a rock and never saw any emotion, and suddenly seeing his "human" side, he wondered if Hades was captured by other people. God in disguise.

And Eros, who was on top of him, was completely insane. He clung to Hermes and shouted in suffocation: "It's terrible, everything here, the earth, rivers, palaces, floor tiles, and bonfires are full of fires that make me unable to breathe." God's power, Hermes! Let me go, I am so miserable that I can't remember the love of youth."

Cupid's delicate toes are only willing to step on the softest skin on the young man's body.Hades and Hades are the source of all old corruption. If little Eros dared to land, the soles of his feet would be corroded into rotten flesh by these forces immediately.

Hermes didn't dare to let go of Eros's clothes. He was afraid of letting go, and Cupid flew away directly. He finally forced him to pretend to draw an arrow. If he ran away, his success would fall short.

In order to appease the anxious Eros, he quickly hugged him and pushed his head forward, "Look ahead, that's the place where flowers bloom, and ease your painful state."

Eros immediately looked up and saw the girl sitting in front of the table.

Her hands were casually placed on the table, and the yellow light from the entire row of oil lamps placed beside her cast a warmer color on her hair and the flowers and leaves spreading to her white neck.

She seemed to have just noticed the appearance of their uninvited guests, raised her eyes and looked over quietly, the corners of her mouth were slightly tense, revealing an emotion that did not welcome outsiders.

And Hades stood behind her lifelessly, with no expression on his cold and pale face, like a lifeless iron stone guard, covering all her fresh divine power, declaring his possessive desire without any hindrance.

This pair, whether it's posture, expression, or breath power, shows a terrifying similarity. It's obvious that they are two gods with extremely different powers.

Eros only felt more uncomfortable after seeing it. The Seed God was firmly held by death, and he couldn't get any vitality, and couldn't quench his thirst at all.

Hermes also sighed with a headache. It's only been a while, Persephone's whole person smells like Hades, and even her temperament and actions are full of traces of Pluto's careful teaching.

If you don't pull her back to the earth, it will be too late.

Persephone has long been used to the presence of Hades. When he appeared behind her, she didn't even have instinctive doubts. Instead, it was the foreign gods who drew her attention.

The first thing she saw was the boy who was talking to the child with his head down. His feet were floating about ten centimeters from the ground, his body language was particularly vivid, and the winged hat on his head fluttered and fluttered with his movements.

Persephone thought he looked very familiar, where had she seen this god before?This kind of face that obviously looks strange, but must have met somewhere, made her gaze stay for a while longer.

Just as some fragmentary memories began to emerge indistinctly, her eyes were covered with a hand.

Hades' voice also sounded above her head, "It's really hard for your two slow-moving legs, it took so long to come to Hades, I waited for you here long enough to forget the time I had with Hera. Agreement."

This tone did not have the slightest enthusiasm for welcoming the guests, but because of the condescending attitude, this blatant ridicule was even more lethal.

Persephone hurriedly pushed his hand away, but it was the God who helped him pull out the arrow. Before he could pull out the arrow successfully, he left it here to offend others.Aren't you afraid that when you pull out the arrow later, someone will kill you?

Just when she thought of helping him to make things better, the young man with the flying hat bowed his head and apologized with a smile, "Hades, it's not because of the journey that we came late, but because we wanted to arrest this kid to correct his mistakes. Frodite can only get what she agrees to."

He dictated quickly and clearly, and his posture of not allowing anyone to interrupt was surprisingly not annoying. It was obviously a habit, and he was also very familiar with the work of speaking and sending messages.

"I also bring Hera's blessing message."

Hermes stopped here, and when he spoke again, he put away all his nonsense, and his face was solemnly corrected.

"To the Lord of the Underworld, my merciful and wise brother, I wish you all well, and all your mistakes will end today. I feel sorry for your heart-burning pain day and night, and send the son of Aphrodite to In your hand, by your scourging and scolding. The tribute delivered with this message has been carefully selected. I hope Hades accepts this greeting from Olympus. May your friendship and fellowship between you and me last forever .”

Hermes took out a list of tributes as he spoke, so fast that Hades would refuse to open his mouth.

"From the hands of the Canaanites, some of the most beautiful violet sheepskin coats and linen, piles of cedar wood freshly brought from Assyrian ships, some honey and figs, some sets of ebony woodwork, and Attic wine jugs With Ismailo..."

The list of tributes was so long that it rolled directly from his hands to his feet. The more Persephone listened, the more he felt that this heavy gift bag contained items for human use.

Hades seldom handles the list of gifts from gods of the same level. It is not so much a gift as a trade between you and me.After taking this part of the items, it is necessary to return items of similar value.

If it was before, he would have directly rejected it, but what Persephone sent was all things that Persephone could use. He immediately accepted Hera's offer, and added silver, gold and ivory crafts to the gift list for the two cows. .

Hermes babbled on the list without feeling dry mouth at all.On the contrary, Persephone, who was watching him from the side, was full of surprise, as if he was watching without being out of breath, and directly repeated a series of menus a dozen times.

She repeated it ten thousand times in her heart again, God is really a group of powerful and strange creatures, and it feels like they can win the world award for speaking in competitions.

After reading it easily, Hermes handed the list to Minos to complete the first task.

And Eros, who heard Hera's message, also realized it later. He grabbed the round neck of the messenger God with his two small hands and shouted angrily: "I just came to the underworld to help, and I will be able to do it soon." Leave, why did Hera still let Hades hit me, and you still coaxed me, and you actually used deception on me."

Hermes was pulled to the point where his neck was about to break, and all his confident expressions were pulled into helpless depression, "Eros, this is a polite word, you..."

Eros hung on him and rolled around, "Liar, liar, liar, I won't listen or not..."

He also said that Hades is an old father who has broken his heart. Hermes thinks that he is worse than Hades. It is more than a heartbroken. His ageless face will be wrinkled by Eros.

Eros grinned and wanted to nibble on Hermes' neck, a hand suddenly appeared behind him, grabbed the back of his neck fiercely, and lifted him back like a cat.

Little Eros, who opened his teeth and claws, raised his eyes stiffly, and saw the face of the god he hated, hated and feared the most.He opened his mouth a few times, and finally greeted him politely and obediently, "Oh, the hospitable and wise Pluto, it's been a long time."

Love and pleasure are worthless beside death.The God of Cupid dared to shoot a hidden arrow in the distance, and when he faced Hades, his whole god immediately withered, and even his bow and wings retracted, not daring to face the god who restrained him to death.

Hades' tone was also considered gentle, "Do you like me to chop off your hand and feed it to Ceres? Your arrows scarred my heart day and night, and I think the same arrows can pierce yours. A heart is a fair reward."

The god of death, who was silently looking through the list of dead people in the corner, heard Hades' words, and immediately turned sideways in disgust.The God of Cupid hates Hades, and their God of Hades hates him even more, who wants to eat his hand.

Hermes anxiously hugged Eros' feet with both hands, and said with a forced smile: "The most important thing is to draw the arrow now, Hades. Eros' power depends on changes in emotions, and you don't want him to die because of mood problems." If you lose your divine power, stay here for a few god festivals."

What he said didn't disgust Hades, but it scared Eros to the point of getting goosebumps.

He is a god who can only survive by the love generated by a fresh and young life. He stays in the tomb every day. Before the next planting season, he will directly rot in the underworld and sleep forever.

Hades completely ignored Hermes, his brows and eyes were surrounded by ominous black mist, boundless darkness sank in his eyes, and his expressionless face made people shudder, as if he was about to die in the next moment. Eros dismembered and took it out to feed the dogs.

Both Eros and Hermes didn't dare to say anything, and even stopped breathing, for fear that even the sound of panting would offend Hades, who was not easy to mess with.

Had it not been bound by the oath, Hades, the great god who must retaliate, would have used all kinds of restless methods to torture them for the things they did.

Just when this uneasy atmosphere reached its peak, someone grabbed Hades' clothes.

Hades's ferocious look froze, and he immediately retracted all the dark expressions that threatened outsiders, and he didn't even hold Eros so tightly.

Persephone poked her head out from behind him, grabbed his clothes in her hands, and looked at the two foreign gods with a curious look on her face, "Can you draw arrows now, or do you need to prepare something?"

Eros, whose neck was about to be broken, said anxiously, "Now, you can draw the arrow right away. You don't need to prepare anything. All you need is the presence of the person Hades loves."

Persephone nodded thoughtfully. The scene where she drew the arrow for Hades was particularly tragic, but she still failed in the end. There shouldn't be any major problems with the perpetrator present this time.

She raised her head and smiled at Hades, sincerely happy that he was able to get out of the predicament, "Hades, let's start drawing the arrows."

After saying this, she couldn't help but use three fingers to grab his clothes, and hesitated a few times before finally letting go.In the future, this kind of thing of grabbing his clothes will not happen again. After all, if Hades, who does not have the Arrow of Love, is angry with her, he will not give her any preferential treatment.

Hades let go of Eros, took a few steps back, and stood side by side with Persephone. He looked weak and helpless as he hugged Hermes and said, "Take all your divine power. Come out, my heart is wounded more than the power of your arrows."

He is very clearly aware of his love, not just the desire to be inflated by the arrow.There is also an emotion that is even more indescribable, and he doesn't quite understand it.

Like Nektar poured with golden apricot juice, sour and sweet flow freely on Cupid's arrow, this power is the reason why he is willing to kneel quietly under Persephone.

When drawing an arrow, any emotion becomes an obstacle, making the process long and dangerous.

Eros immediately reacted to his specialty. He spread his wings and flew in front of Hades, squinting at his heart.

Through his flesh and bones, his penetrating gaze came to his powerful beating heart, and on the damaged arrows that were pulled, the exuberant vitality and colorful flowers bloomed like a prairie fire.

Cupid's eyes gradually blurred, and burning madness also grew in his eyes, and his heart beat faster with Pluto's love, which was the appearance of his divine power resonating with this vigorous love.

Although it is the arrow of chaos made by the first generation of Eros, it can produce more lust, and it cannot be pulled out with any force, but no matter how hot the desire is, it cannot withstand the wear and tear of time, death, and conflicts of interests. The arrow will eventually automatically drop.

Hades' divine power meant that the arrow couldn't trap him for long, but what he saw was nothing short of a miracle.

The eyes of Eros trembling because of the excitement fell directly on Persephone. She is the god who created miracles. She let Hades' own feelings overwhelm the power of Cupid's arrow, and fed back the arrow to make it Go deeper.

Arrow now exists more as a catalyst to drive Hades mad than as a source of emotion.

Persephone was seen by Venus with hairs on his back. This guy looked like a child, but the madness in his eyes was terribly mature.

Although through this period of study, the god of the underworld gave all kinds of advice, and observed the personalities of the gods beside him, he came to the conclusion that the gods here are probably not very normal.But seeing these abnormal gods really made Persephone feel desperate.

From now on, she will live in the land ruled by these abnormal gods. If these guys want to destroy human beings for fun one day, wouldn't she be killed for no reason.

There is no harm if there is no comparison. I really miss the gods of all walks of life in my family who are full of moral sense.

As if consciously, the black mist sensed that Eros' eyes offended Persephone, and suddenly turned into a sharp knife, aimed at his pupils, and pierced viciously.

Covering the eyes of the little Cupid with both hands, he hugged the slow-moving him into his arms, and quickly avoided all the attacks like the wind.

Hermes, who survived the catastrophe, took a deep breath, smiled wryly and continued to speak soft words: "Hades, in order to enter the underworld without being driven away, we also gave up our weapons and restrained our divine power. Please give us a little patience to put an end to this colossal mistake with sincerity."

As the responsibility of the guiding god, he took Eros to the underworld and brought him back safely.

Hades moved his fingers, and all the out-of-control mist wrapped around his hand.The god of love has been here to make his emotions violent, and under the influence of the god of love, those hidden desires began to move around and want to break free from his control.

Before the snake breaks through the door of the sacrificial house desperately and breaks out, the arrow must be pulled out quickly to get rid of the out-of-control desire to reproduce.

Persephone, who was standing on the side, keenly sensed that something was wrong with Hades. Could it be that the enemy was extremely jealous when they met.If she wanted revenge, the other party had to complete the mission. She subconsciously grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the conference table silently.

Hades endured the tumbling intense love, and followed very obediently.

Hermes stared dumbfounded at the well-behaved Pluto, and felt that seeing Zeus be good was horrifying and absurd.

After pushing Hades on the chair, Persephone turned around and said to Hermes, "You guys start drawing the arrows, don't delay."

再拖都要打起来,将爱神这欠揍的货打死了谁来拔箭?Persephone thought ruthlessly.

Eros, who emerged from Hermes' arms, had uneasy eyes, clasped his hands together and said, "Of course, I am not only love itself, but also the king who destroys love. Please trust my divine power and fight with me." Two become one."

Persephone: "..."

Her fingers trembled at the words, and she grabbed Hades even more forcefully, saying "two ones, two ones, don't come over here."

Eros didn't know how scary his words were. He flew over with short arms and short legs, and said to Hades in a friendly and cute way: "Don't struggle, feel my divine power enter your body. After my divine power merges with your emotions , I will plunge the lead arrow that extinguishes the fire of love into your heart, and the golden arrow of love will be completely annihilated and dissipated."

Hades looked indifferent and indifferent, but seeing Persephone's worried expression, he still lowered his eyelids lightly, and let the death force guarding him disperse without refusing.

Eros also put away all his playful attitude, and his pupils were covered with golden divine power.He spread his closed hands, and a simple black and gray arrow appeared in the palm of his hand.

The arrow exudes a lethargic atmosphere that makes people shy away from it, and the dull arrow tip is so blunt that there are no edges and corners.

"My divine power has already entered Hades' body. When I plunge the lead sword into his body, there will be no chance to repent. Do you really want this hot love?"

Eros tilted his head, and looked at Persephone with a clear smile, "Why do you reject a god who loves you sincerely, even if he was shot by an arrow and started to have feelings for you, he still loves you, isn't it?"

He is the god of love, so of course he can see the love in Persephone's heart.

Persephone didn't expect to be called by name, and there were test questions, but she already had the answer to this question, and it was not difficult to answer.

"Why did you refuse, because he has been protecting me." After she finished speaking, she felt that everyone looked at her with more confusion. Isn't this answer enough?

Even Hades looked sideways at her, which made her see the feeling of confusion in his eyes.

Persephone gently curled the corners of her mouth, and finally found a chance to tell him her thoughts.

"It's painful to be manipulated by external love. It's not your will to protect me unconditionally and love me without a bottom line. Although our encounter was a bit rough at the beginning, it wasn't your will. You saved me many times, Hades, So I hope you can take out the arrow and stop being manipulated by this unfair love."

People with a bit of empathy can take Hades's experience onto themselves, and they can suffocate just by imagining it.Crazy lowering of one's bottom line for the person one doesn't love, self-esteem, wealth and heart are given without complaint, without asking for anything in return, just wanting to be a super big licking dog.

Thanks, just thinking about it makes my fist hard.

Persephone didn't feel blushed when she said these words, her skin had already grown thick.These are sincere words, and there is also a little bit of careful thinking.After all, after the arrow was released later, Hades lost his feelings.For the sake of her good intentions, she can always pack some wheat fruit dry pot dishes and leave.

Not so stingy, not even stuttering.

Thinking of this, Persefine's expression was so soft that he could squeeze out water, "You can only use your own consciousness to love someone after the arrow is pulled out, and that is true love."

When the chicken soup was poured, all the gods looked dumbfounded.

Even Hades stretched out his hand to caress his forehead with a headache, and sighed softly after a long silence, as if disappointed by what was broken.

Although Persephone's words sounded very warm-hearted and kind, but he didn't eat the meat on his lips, and he was modest and kind. Did he really fail in her education?

Not fighting, not grabbing, not cheating, not using him, and having the idea of ​​self-sacrifice, the last god who had this kind of problem, was gutted by Zeus for many years, and was only released recently.

The education plan has to be revised and tightened.Even if you love him, you have to know how to use him at critical moments.

Why did Persefin feel a little cold? Could it be that the fire was not bright enough? She urged, "You can move faster, and you can just stay for dinner after drawing the arrow."

Hermes immediately rejected her frightening offer, "Don't leave us food, we've already eaten."

You can't eat anything from the underworld, even the divine food for the gods contains the poison of the underworld, and whoever eats it will risk staying here to rot forever.

Instead, Eros bowed his head thoughtfully. Love not only produces the desire to possess and compete, but also the spirit of sacrifice to give up everything for the other party...

He clenched the arrow in his hand tightly, as if he had found a more fun toy, with a loving smile on his face, that was really sorry for the sweet self-sacrificing love of the Seed God.

He put the tip of the arrow against Hades' heart, and said slowly, "Don't attack my arrow, if you don't want to fail to draw the arrow, Hades."

When it comes to dealing with love, Hades is just a weak baby, he is the one in control, he can tell lies beautifully and no one can expose them.

Hades felt the arrow point go through his flesh and blood, and a cold force entered his heart and limbs, wantonly pushing and suppressing his love, cooling his swollen and hot blood vessels.

This is what it feels like to leave in love?He instinctively felt pain, and he didn't want these emotional temperatures to leave him.

Eros watched with cold eyes and stopped making a sound. It was too late. Hades couldn't get rid of his divine power, so he could only let him knead and manipulate.

Persephone was the first to feel the temperature change, and the coldness spread from Hades' fingertips all the way up her body.Then the strength in his hand slackened and he slipped from her palm.

Hades didn't know when to close his eyes and fell asleep quietly.

Eros flew away and came to Hermes. He smiled innocently, "Okay, after Hades wakes up, all the power from the arrow of Cupid will disappear."

Hermes also nodded quickly, "That's right, you'll be cured when you wake up." His tone was hurried as if he wanted to convince someone.

Persephone touched her arm tremblingly, without the Hades brand heater, her teeth chattered as she spoke, "When will Hades wake up?"

Eros tilted his head innocently and said, "Ah, who knows."

Persephone stared at him with wide eyes, drawing an arrow could turn him into a plant god.

Eros laughed again and said: "When he kills the love on the arrow, he will wake up lively."

I don't know if it's lively or not, but the instigator has no guilt and is very lively.

Hermes was worried that Cupid would say something shocking again, so he immediately lifted the back of his neck and said to her: "Then let's go first, the divine power here has seriously eroded me and Eros, we Can't stay long. Hades' problem is solved, so don't worry too much.

After finally saying something human, Persephone looked back at Minos and found that he nodded in agreement, so he pointed to the door a little tiredly, "No, have a good trip."

Hermes was very fast and flew to the door in the next moment. Before going out, he suddenly turned around and said to Persephone, "If you have nowhere to go in the future, you can come to me..."

This sentence successfully made him get the unkind eyes of the underworld gods.

Hermes realized that he had exposed his purpose too early, so he hurriedly made amends, "Take me for a change, I have a lot of good things that human beings need."

Persephone finally looked at him, and just when Hermes thought her heart was moving, she saw the Seed God standing beside Hades and clapped her hands a few times without enthusiasm.

"Cerberus, see off."

Hermes immediately felt the dangerous hot air blowing from behind, turned his head, and was face to face with three huge dog heads.

Persephone pointed emphatically at Eros, "Remember to send him more."

During this period of time, she successfully used all kinds of newly made pastries to capture the heart of the cute three-headed dog, which made her words especially useful to the dog god.

No, the three-headed dog opened its mouth wide, barking and catching Eros and biting it for an unknown number of streets.In the end, if it hadn't reached the border of Erepos, it would have almost bitten Eros's wings off.

Persephone said that it was cruel, and she would have to do this again next time they meet, and the villain of Eros is her leisure pastime.

Hades supported his face with one hand, and froze palely on the stone seat, silent without even breathing.If she hadn't been familiar with his sleeping appearance, she would have thought that he was just a corpse carved from stone, and it was still a good-looking one.

Persephone stood beside him in silence for a long time, making sure that he hadn't woken up, then slowly reached out and touched his hanging hand, it was very cold, piercing cold to the bone.

Hades without Cupid's arrow turned out to be a piece of low-temperature ice.

However, Eros pulled out another arrow and inserted another arrow into Hades' chest. If she hadn't seen God's ability to regenerate flesh and blood, she would have suspected that Hades' heart had become a sieve, bleeding everywhere.

I don't know how long he will sleep, Persephone thought while she couldn't take the time to move a thick quilt to cover Hades who was sitting and sleeping tightly.

She laughed at her numb hands, and ran to find her clothes again. She put a large and thick woolen robe over her head and wrapped her whole body.

The attendants on the mural noticed that Persephone was cold, and immediately called their companions to carry olive oil and firewood, and lit more bonfires to keep her warm.

With a new fire source and thick clothes, Persephone had the energy to do other things. She sat beside Hades and helped copy the death list. After finishing, she hurriedly ate dinner.

After dinner, she took the robe she had woven with great difficulty, and leaned close to the bright firelight, carefully watching the embroidery steps drawn by the weaving teacher for her, as well as the leaf and vine border pattern designed by herself.

After reading it, Persephone bowed her head and tried to embroider with clumsy techniques, trying to finish the edge before Hades woke up, but she doubted that Hades would not want this gift after waking up.

After being pricked by a needle, she quickly held her finger in her mouth, and after the bloody smell dissipated in her mouth, she continued to embroider as if nothing had happened.

"If you don't want me, I'll take it away. I weave this cloth very carefully. Even the teacher praised me for being quick."

Having said that, she couldn't help but smile, "Would you like to say goodbye in advance?"

It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid, Hades, who had lost his love for her, was just a cruel god born in this barbaric world, if he didn't wake up, he would strangle her neck and hang her outside the door to let the wind blow.

I really look forward to him waking up and returning to normal, and I'm a little scared of him waking up.

Persephone tugged at her coat, wondering if there were too many braziers and it was a little hot.

She didn't notice that the eyelashes of Hades who was sitting were trembling, and the frozen state was slowly thawing, engulfed in boiling heat, seeping out from his skin little by little.
