everyone loves apollo

At this time, Chryses standing next to him suddenly said: "Actually, letting you wear this set of armor is a kind of trust in your skills, because the most powerful hunters will wear armor when hunting. It is different from ordinary hunters. The difference between hunters is that they are strong enough and strong enough to run and jump freely in the mountains and forests even with a thick layer of armor on their bodies. And in this way, they just rush forward That's enough, you don't have to worry about the lions, wild boars and other wild beasts causing them any harm, in this way, you can get more prey than other hunters."

"Really?" Apollo looked at him suspiciously, "I've never heard of such a thing anywhere else."

And Hector and the others looked at Chryses with admiration—this kind of nonsense can also be made up, and they are said in a serious manner.

He continued to say calmly: "That's because the hunters in other city-states are not strong enough. Once they put on armor, they are like turtles with shells on their backs. They move slowly and are unresponsive. If they are hit by a lion, they will fall down." They can't get up on the ground, let alone hunt. So they only dare to use armor on the battlefield, because then they only need to sit in the chariot and pierce the enemy's throat with a spear, instead of running and jumping. In fact , I am afraid that in the whole world, only our Trojan hunters are true warriors. The armor will only add to their heroic deeds, allowing them to hunt more beasts, and will not cause them any hindrance and burden."

After he finished speaking, Apollo didn't speak for a long time, with a bit of doubt on his face, but his heart was obviously shaken.

It was only at this time that several other people came to their senses, echoing what Chryses said just now, and praised the warrior in armor hunting like a flower.

Apollo is still thinking.

Why do I always feel that there is something wrong with what he said, but I can't say exactly what is wrong.

Alas, in the final analysis, I still have too little experience. I should travel more in the mortal world in the future, and I can't just nest on Mount Olympus all day long.

After thinking about it for a long time, Apollo finally figured out where the problem was. He pointed to Hector and asked, "If that's the case, why doesn't he put on his armor to hunt? Could it be that he isn't strong enough? Overwhelmed by a heavy burden?"

Hector's expression changed, and he gave the poor priest a hard look.He didn't want to leave a bad impression on his sweetheart.

Chryses returned him a reassuring look, and said calmly: "The eldest prince is our number one warrior in Troy, so it is no problem to wear armor to hunt. But look carefully, the armor used for hunting It is very different from the ones used on the battlefield. Outsider, judging by your strong figure and strong muscles, you must have been a soldier and have been on the battlefield, right?"

Apollo glanced down at his arm, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He said nothing, neither admitted nor denied, just murmured indistinctly.

Chryses didn't expect him to answer seriously, but just took the armor from Hector and spread it out on the ground.During this process, he kept complaining: "Oh, it's so heavy. It's so heavy to hold it in your hand, let alone wear it on your body."

After setting it up, he said, "Okay, you can see for yourself, the difference is very obvious."

Apollo looked at it for a while—of course, he couldn't see anything.

If only Ares, the god of war, was here, he thought regretfully. That guy knew everything about the battlefield like the back of his hand.

In order not to show that he knew nothing, he said, "Well, it's very different. But what does it matter if he wears armor or not?"

Chryses sighed, and said: "Think about it. This kind of hunting armor is so special, and there are very few hunters who can wear it without affecting their movements, so there must not be many of this kind of armor. Well. Two of them were worn away, and now this is the only pair left in the palace, only for the bravest among us. Anyway, none of us guards can do it alone. Among the remaining people, either You wear it, or the eldest prince wears it. Our prince has always been generous and kind, and he wants to give you this honor. Of course, if you can't bear its bulkiness, then he has no choice but to..."

"Who says I don't wear it?" Apollo said immediately, "Bring it here. I'll show you that even with such heavy armor on, I'm still the best hunter."

The eyeballs of Hector and the rest of the people almost popped out.

This...is this a solution?He is too easy to deceive!How can there be such a deceitful person in the world, his thoughts and thoughts are as innocent and innocent as a two or three-year-old child.

Hector secretly made up his mind that he must take good care of people, and he couldn't let other bastards cheat him away with a few words.

He picked up the armor from the ground, wiped it off with his sleeve, and put it on for Apollo with his own hands. Even the collarbone at the junction of the neck and shoulders was tightly covered, so that there was no gap in his body.

Of course Apollo doesn't know how to wear armor himself, so he is happy to ask Hector to help.

After wearing it, he jumped on the spot twice, and it was really clumsy, heavy and uncomfortable.

But how could the great God of Light be crushed by a pair of armor? He stood up straight, pretending to be nonchalant, and walked out of the temple with everyone.

Several guards saw his discomfort, but they didn't dare to show a smile, their faces cramped.

Hector and Chryses fell far behind.

The eldest prince praised the priest with a low laugh: "You are amazing. If I hadn't known you since childhood, I would have thought you were Hermes who came to the world secretly."

Chryses smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "Eldest Prince, if you like him, you'd better act quickly. Otherwise, others are likely to get there first."

Hector was surprised: "Did you see it?"

Chryses said: "Blind people can't see it. When you look at his eyes, it's like staring at the most precious treasure in the world. His eyes are so hot that even ice cubes can melt. Only his slow reaction, Someone as innocent as a baby can't find your mind."

Hector suddenly found someone to confide in, and hurriedly asked for help: "I also want to act quickly, but I'm afraid of offending him."

Chryses patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Don't worry, even if you really annoy him, it will be fine if you coax him well. You saw it just now, he is so easy to lie, you can say whatever you want Anything, foolishly will be fooled..."

"Don't speak ill of him," said Hector angrily.

"Okay, okay, I won't say, I won't say." Chryses hurriedly said, "But think about it for yourself. Even if you can't do anything to him, no one else can. He's so handsome. Charming...don't stare at me, that's the truth. If I'm not wrong, Eldest Prince, you must have more than one rival in love."

Hector kicked the stones on the side of the road dejectedly, and had to admit that what he said made sense.Maybe it's time to send someone to Delphi to find out about Delos' past.

After leaving the city of Troy, they walked a long way before entering the depths of the forest.Fortunately, there was a carriage along the way, otherwise Apollo would have suffered a lot.

When they reached a valley, they stopped and set some traps in a clearing.According to the original arrangement, the fastest guard was responsible for luring the wild boar, and the others wounded it with the help of traps. Finally, the eldest prince pierced his throat with a spear to end the battle.

"Then what am I responsible for?" Apollo asked.

None of the guards could answer.

Hector had already made up his mind and said, "You are in charge of archery." He handed over the silver bow and quiver that he had prepared in advance.

Apollo's eyes sparkled when he saw the beautiful silver bow.This arrangement was exactly to his liking.He went under the tree and tried the bowstring with his hand, um, it was stronger than expected.The craftsman who made this silver bow is also very skilled, and he likes the carved laurel pattern on it.

Hector watched his jumpy face with satisfaction, glad that he liked the gift he had picked out.But looking at where he was standing, he always felt uneasy.While the thick armor is enough to stop any damage from the tusks, the boar has a lot of strength.If it went on a rampage, knocked him to the ground, and stepped on it again, it would definitely not cause less damage than the fangs.

"Prince, can we start?" a guard asked.

"Wait a minute." Hector replied casually, his eyes sweeping across the valley.Finally, his eyes lit up, and he saw a thick oak tree.

"Tylos," he said, "an archer cannot stand on such a low place, and it will be difficult to aim. Look, there is a tree, go up to its branches, just sit there. , it's very convenient to shoot anywhere. We all count on you to shoot the wild boar's eyes, which is the only Achilles' heel in its whole body."

The eldest prince quickly mastered the method of making the God of Light obedient.

however……

Apollo looked at the tall branches, then at the heavy armor, and bit his lip aggrievedly.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he can't climb up.

Hector immediately saw his predicament, suppressed his smile, summoned a group of guards, made a human ladder, gathered the strength of all, and sent him up.The branches are so big that he can easily and comfortably sit on them.

Hector looked at his position proudly, convinced that nothing would harm him like this, so he ordered two guards to go to the wild boar's lair and lure it over.The others, according to the plan, ambushed separately, only waiting for the wild boar to come over, and then activated the trap.
