Ares, God of War

The Spartan commander, on the other hand, looked at the two Athenian guards who were holding wooden sticks and hit Ares on the arm today. He stared at the two guards for a while, until his heart was terrified. , Then, the corner of the cold commander's mouth suddenly pulled a cruel smile, and waved to them:

"Come, come, you two come here, I will personally accompany you to exercise."

……

At the same time, Medusa, who finished her day's work as a priest, returned to the residence prepared by Athena for her, a high-end stone house next to the Parthenon Temple.

After washing her body, she changed into another outfit, but she didn't feel sleepy. Instead, she came to the window, looked up at Selene's carriage, and looked at the sea in the distance.

At the beginning, Athena led the Athenians to forcibly captured the tribe of the Pelasgians, reduced all the Pelasgians to slaves, and wanted to take all three of their sisters as gods and take them to Mount Olympus .

Although the three sisters of Medusa have never been there, they have heard that there are many terrible gods on that mountain. They have great power and like to take some beautiful women and goddesses as wives. In that case, the two goddesses, Steno and Urielle, who have little combat power, even including Medusa, are likely to encounter such misfortune. Therefore, Medusa did not hesitate to belittle her godhead and The conditions for Athena to be a priest were exchanged for the freedom of his two sisters from her.

However, Euryale and Steno were still not allowed by Athena to appear on the earth, so they were exiled by the goddess of wisdom, and she was driven to an invisible island near the sea where the golden apple was located, and the giant Long Ladong is a neighbor.

As a result, Medusa and her two older sisters may not be able to see each other again in the future, and she can only look up at the moon and miss her two older sisters.

But when she saw Yuesiren, suddenly, a stream of light flashed on the hair ornament on top of her head, and then, as if something inside was activated, a message came from Medusa's mind. A somewhat rough male voice:

"Hello, are you there?"

Chapter 41. Trading

Medusa was taken aback when she heard the voice that suddenly sounded in her head:

"who are you?"

"Well, it seems to be connected." The man's voice continued: "This is a spiritual connection, you can just talk in your head... As a goddess, you should have talked to your followers."

Medusa then closed her mouth. She glanced at the Parthenon Temple next to her with some guilt, and then asked in her mind:

"who are you?"

"My name?" The man said with a slight smile, "You can call me Ares."

"Mars?"

Medusa became vigilant:

"What do you want me to do?"

"Don't be so nervous." Ares calmed Medusa's emotions, and then continued to ask: "If I read correctly, you should be Medusa among the three Gorgon sisters, right? A goddess , why did you give up your divinity and run to be the priest of Athena? Also, what about your two older sisters? Euryale and Steno, where did they go?"

Medusa remained silent.

"Well, if you don't believe me, there's nothing you can do." Aris paused, and then said, "Then I'll guess for myself. It seems that you should have some reason to be held in the hands of Athena." Now, since you are a priest here, then your two sisters were either imprisoned by Athena somewhere, or driven away by her. Moreover, today you made a special trip to give medicine to the group of slaves who were obviously not from Athens , to send water and food, that group of people should be your people, either believers of your Gorgon sisters, or the tribes that live with you, well, they should be treated by Athena as a way to deal with the Atlanteans Cannon fodder, the Athenians are really weak, they actually need slaves to go to war..."

In the Greek world, war is also an important part of the civil rights of city-states, because killing the enemy on the battlefield can gain military exploits, which can be said to be the fastest way to advance in the Greek world.

Generally speaking, the Greek city-states would not allow the slaves of the city-state to go to the battlefield to compete with the citizens for military exploits. However, the Athenians have no choice now. Athena could not send out a large number of her followers in the early days of Athens. , That's why such a group of slaves were captured and used as cannon fodder for war.

"am I right?"

Ares babbled here, and then asked.

Medusa was silent for a moment, then replied a little coldly:

"Then the great God of War is here to mock and ridicule me?"

"How come? Don't forget, you were the one who gave me a meal just now, what did I laugh at you for? And this is not what soldiers do."

Ares said:

"I'm just here to offer you a small deal, a deal... a deal that allows those slaves to be freed and even become citizens. If this continues, when the Atlantean fleet arrives, the woman Athena will definitely You will sell your people without any scruples, and if they want to survive then, it is estimated that they can only depend on the arrangement of fate."

Hearing Ares' words, Medusa was a little moved, and she asked quietly:

"What deal?"

"It's very simple, you stay in Athens, be the priest of Athena, be my internal response when necessary, and you can ask me for help when you are in trouble or danger." Ares said: "And I will launch my People, find a way to buy your people, take them back to Sparta, and make them the people of the Spartan city-state, how about this deal?"

For Medusa, these conditions of Ares can be said to be quite generous, even for nothing. She has already fallen to this point, and presumably the next situation will not be worse than it is now.

Of course she also knew what Athena was trying to do by capturing her followers, but she was powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly, otherwise, even her two exiled sisters might be killed by the goddess of wisdom. The poisonous hands.

And now, the Spartan warriors are stationed outside the city of Athens. As long as the God of War tells them, if there is no intervention by Athena, they can even twist off the head of the leader of the Athenians before dawn and dedicate it to the God of War. forward.

Similarly, it is naturally easy for Ares to save a group of slaves.

However, because of Athena, Medusa also had extreme distrust of the gods of Mount Olympus at this time. After thinking about it carefully, she asked:

"Such a condition is too generous for me. Why do you want to do this? We've never seen it before, right?"

"The answer is very simple." Ares's voice was a little proud: "I, Ares, just like to do things that will make Athena shocked."

Medusa looked a little speechless.

"Please don't fool me." After she reacted, she said angrily: "To make a deal, at least tell me what you want in an upright manner. Given my current situation, even if God of War wants to occupy me, isn't it true? Can I still resist?"

"I'm telling the truth." Ares' voice became serious, and he was a little helpless: "Oh, the image of the male god of Olympus has been corrupted by Zeus and Poseidon, I will occupy you What? Looking for something to do for yourself?"

Pausing for a while, Ares continued:

"I just can't understand Athena and the gods who take everything for granted as being inferior to me. My condition is here. You think about it yourself. The slaves outside are your followers anyway. , It has nothing to do with me. If you think it through, you can inject magic power into this hair ornament, and you will contact me. By the way, your consideration time is only three days at most. After three days, the Atlanteans The fleet is coming off Athens."

After finishing speaking, Ares seemed to be about to hang up the communication, and Medusa quickly stopped him:

"No, great Ares, I agree to this transaction."
