Ares does not want to fall in love [Greek mythology]

Ares outside the hall couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this.He acts recklessly, but he just doesn't like to think too much, not really brainless.Listening to the three gods fighting for a while, why didn't they know that Hephaestus was using Aphrodite's name to reject the arrangement of the god king and queen?

The Queen of Heaven, Hera, was furious at the rumors about Zeus and Aphrodite, but this son who had just summoned the upper realm clearly refused to repay his biological mother, and wanted to be Aphrodite's exclusive craftsman, and he also took a mouthful of "world". The most beautiful goddess in the world", where is her queen?

Thinking of this, Hera's face turned cold: "Hephaestus, why did the wide ocean give you such short-sightedness, do you only have personal feelings in your eyes? Your Father God entrusted you with the priesthood of forging , you are supposed to be the patron saint of craftsmen, and make your own contribution to leading the forging technology in the world. But you, you only want to use your talents to please a goddess, you are really disappointing!"

After hearing these words, the light in Hephaestus' eyes completely dimmed, leaving only a piece of condensation.He was about to say something when he saw a male god walking in quickly and said with a hearty smile: "The mother goddess is so right! Craftsmen in the world just need a guide like Hephaestus. When they do With sharper swords and stronger armor, they will be grateful to the Father, God and Mother God for their appreciation and supervision of Hephaestus!"

It was Ares who came.After saying these words to the God King and Queen, Ares walked up to Hephaestus and said, "Hephaestus, welcome back. I am Ares, God of War, come with me ! Let's discuss how to improve weapons and armor."

Hephaestus looked at the hand handed to him, was silent for a moment, still grabbed the olive branch thrown by Ares, limped and left the Temple of Thunder after God of War.

Hera didn't expect Ares to intervene in this matter.She kept saying "contribution" herself, but it was hard to say that this contribution was limited to making jewelry for her.Zeus didn't know what to say anymore. He said about making weapons and armor, but they were made for gods. How could he be kidnapped by Ares to fight on earth?

The couple looked at Ares, who had always had a bad reputation and was known as the most mindless god in the God Realm, and they couldn't understand why the two of them were cut off by this kid!

Ares leads Hephaestus out of the Temple of Thunder.The sky above the Temple of Thunder reveals the mood of God King Zeus.The dense cloud seemed to be pressing on Ares, and the lightning scurried around like a silver snake, unwilling to leave around God of War.

Ares faced the clouds and lightning, but he was not afraid.He looked at the God of Forging in front of him, and was about to say something, when Hephaestus said, "Tell me, what do you want me to forge for you."

Hephaestus remembered Ares.In front of Tianmen, the male god sized him up without any scruples, and was glared at him.He didn't think that a male god who had been "offended" by him would do nothing to help him out. Since he had a plan, it was better to speak it out than to talk.

Ares likes Hephaestus' straightforwardness, and he didn't hide his purpose at all, saying: "I really want to ask you to help me forge something, let's talk as we walk."

The two male gods walked all the way down the mountain from the Temple of Thunder, through a large dense oak forest, and rested by a small stream.

Ares had no intention of taking care of Hephaestus' lameness, that's how he usually walked, and that's how he walked with Hephaestus.Sometimes when he saw that Hephaestus couldn't keep up, he would stop and chat with him while standing still.

The strong Hephaestus doesn't like to be treated as weak, and Ares's natural attitude makes him feel comfortable.Although he felt very tired after walking all the way, he didn't feel depressed mentally like being taken care of by a healthy person.

Along the way, Ares listed the things he wanted Hephaestus to forge like a list, a heavy and big battle axe, a sharp and sharp spear, an indestructible armor.

Hephaestus was annoyed by his insatiable greed: "Do you think you can get so much from me in exchange for what you have done for me today?"

Ares has his own ideas: "However, it is too difficult for me to make a choice between these three things. I will tell you with the idea of ​​giving it a try. If you are willing to help me make these three things If everything is done well, then I don’t have to worry about it?”

Hephaestus pointed out relentlessly: "It's only good for you."

"No, I don't think so." Ares said: "I am the God of War, let's take my favorite fight as an example. I fight with others, and if I win, I may have spoils or nothing; Needless to say, it was a very embarrassing thing. But I have always felt that no matter whether I win or lose, I should challenge others more. If I don’t practice because I am afraid of losing, I, the God of War, will be surpassed sooner or later.”

Hephaestus stared deeply at Ares, and when he talked about fighting, it seemed as if a star had fallen into his eyes, shining brightly.Since coming to Olympus, Hephaestus has never seen such a look in his eyes—pure persistence, without any conflict of interest.

Hephaestus moved in his heart and listened patiently.I just heard Ares continue to say: "I think forging is the same as fighting, and you need to go through repeated practice. Are you really willing to help me and do exercises by the way? I assure you, making weapons is more important than making accessories. Much more interesting!"

Hephaestus was silent for a moment, and was finally defeated by the expectant eyes of Ares. He said, "Let's go, let's go to the volcano together. Get the forging tools ready first, and I will forge the battleaxe for you tomorrow." Let's agree first, you are responsible for finding the forging tools for me, this is a deal."

Ares naturally did not refuse.

Hephaestus chose the volcano Thera, where the magma is most active, and placed his blacksmith workshop there.Ares, the god of war, prepared a blacksmith furnace and other forging tools for him, and arranged the entire workshop properly.

The magma in the volcano was tumbling, like a pot of boiling hot soup, illuminating the faces of the two male gods bright red.The god of war, who has always been fearless, couldn't bear the heat a little bit. Big drops of sweat slipped from his temples and wet his cheeks. He asked, "The workshop has been set up, where are you going to go?" How about settling down?"

Forging comes from fire. Since Hephaestus took charge of forging, he can also be called the "God of Fire". He is very close to flames.Unlike Ares, who can no longer bear the heat, he is very comfortable in this active volcano, and said: "I live here, in my workshop."

Ares persuaded him: "The temperature here is too high, it is not suitable for long-term living, you should find another place to live."

In fact, Hephaestus also knew that being with flames for a long time was not good.When he was in the ocean, he forged in a closed workshop every day, and lived in the blue ocean at night.The sea cools his blazing fire, freeing him from the blazing forge.Now that he has become the god of forging in Olympus, it is impossible for him to live in the sea realm, but he is unwilling to live in the sacred mountain of Olympus.

Ares probably knew what Hephaestus was resisting. After thinking about it, he came up with an idea for the God of Forging: "You can live on Mercury. Although it belongs to the God Realm, it is relatively remote and there are generally no people there." Excuse me. You go back and forth between Mercury and Thera every day, and if you have a carriage, it doesn't take much time."

Hephaestus accepted Ares's suggestion, and the two went to Mercury together again to make Hephaestus a home.Ares also grabbed a sky-drawn cart for Hephaestus, and he said: "You see, the benefit I bring to you is not in the first meeting, but in our getting along."

Ares thought of his former self.Before he knew Adonis, he always believed that as the God of War, he didn't need a partner. Slaughtering was his old profession, and he didn't need anyone to help him.However, after having Adonis as a friend, he has a solid reliance and a shield that can be entrusted to his back, and his thinking has changed.

Thinking of this, Ares showed a bright smile: "This is what my friend Adonis taught me, next time I will introduce you to each other."

Hephaestus remembered the name Adonis in his heart, because he found that when he talked about this plant god, Ares's eyes would shoot a kind of bright and dazzling light, which was better than talking about it. The enthusiasm in battle is no less.

After bidding farewell to Hephaestus, Ares returned to the Temple of War God.

At this time, the sun and the moon have converged, and the afterglow of the sun is still lingering on the earth, but a round of bright moon has slowly risen.It was getting dark, and the seeds of light had been lit in the Temple of War God, and Adonis, the god of plants, sat alone under the lamp.

Ares pushed the door open and Adonis looked at him.

The male god under the light is a little more hazy and beautiful, and his gaze quietly falls on Ares, like the cold moonlight shining from the sky.When the moonlight fell on Ares, it became a little warmer for no reason.

As soon as Ares saw Adonis, he had a strong desire to talk, and told Adonis all his experiences all afternoon.In particular, he introduced Adonis to his new friend, his brother Hephaestus.

"That male god looks silent and honest, but in fact he is stubborn and strong in his heart. But he is a good person at heart, and I hit it off very well. Next time I introduce you to each other, you will definitely like him!" Ares said .

Adonis was not interested in Hephaestus, but seeing Ares's high spirits, he was willing to chime in: "That's really good, I'm looking forward to meeting him."

As for the extent of this "expectation", only Adonis knows.

The author has something to say:

Adonis: Why do I feel something is wrong...

No, I'm not jealous!
