[Greek mythology] The fountain of youth

Chapter 40 The Oracle of Delphi

In the place where Apollo worked, golden sunflowers bloomed all over the area. These flowers are completely different from the sunflowers that are facing the sun in other areas. These flowers are all open to Apollo.

They are like little suns, surrounding Apollo, the big golden petals on the flower disc, swaying gracefully in the wind with joy, just standing here, you can feel their joy.

The sun in the sky sprinkled warm rays of light on the sunflower's golden face, and Heber suddenly seemed to see the forest nymph Clytie appearing here. She walked out of the sunflower and looked greedily at her love.

It was such a deep and strong liking, which made Hebe realize more clearly that this heavy and passionate feeling did not belong to her goddess of youth, Hebe.

The one who likes chasing the sun is Clytie, and the one who suppresses it is Midea. These are not her feelings... The silver dial that rotated in the bottom of the left eye stopped swinging.

At the same time, the Delphic oracle placed in the waist pocket was terribly hot, and the emerald-colored pebble jumped up and down in the pocket, trying to break open the cage that trapped it.

While Heber was in a daze, the skin next to the pocket turned red, and the emerald-colored pebbles had broken through the obstacles that hindered it, and a small hole was scalded by it in the pocket, and it happily drilled out of the small hole, ready to run towards Apollo. go.

Hebe came back to his senses in time, realized that something was wrong with his body, covered the torn clothes, and firmly grasped the oracle that was about to escape and ascend to heaven in the palm of his hand.

Her thoughts became clearer, and Apollo raised his head impatiently when he heard the noise, "Youth Hebe, please don't stand here, you will distract me." The cello-like aria made Heber's ears itch, and she watched his heart move.

"I...me?" Hebe looked at him with joy in his heart, and the palm that was clenched tightly on the oracle gradually relaxed, and a gap was revealed. The oracle heard Apollo's voice, and the whole stone became hotter. The small stone poked its head, Just about to slip away from Hebe's hand, Hebe bit the tip of his tongue lightly, regaining a trace of clarity.

After reading the memories of Midea, Heber attributed the reason why he wanted to see Apollo and chase the sun just now because he saw the memories of Midea, and followed her to experience the repressed feelings towards Apollo. Will be so impulsive.

But now it seems that this stinky stone is definitely responsible. It definitely let Hebe see this memory on purpose, luring her to come to find Apollo, what is this dishonest oracle of Delphi going to do!

Being pinched by her is not honest, and he is still trying to run around. The Apollo in white is still waiting for her answer, and he keeps taking care of the king's cattle and sheep.

She held the oracle in one hand, and looked at Apollo at the same time. Heber only felt that the thought of chasing the sun almost swallowed her, damn it!She was almost about to hand the oracle into his hands.

But fortunately, her eyes were seriously injured, and she easily escaped from Apollo's sky-like blue eyes. She rolled her eyes with big blank eyes, turned around and left with the oracle in hand.

The things in her hands are hers. It is agreed that the Delphic oracle will belong to her for 30 years. Even if the oracle wants to leave her to find Apollo, it is a good idea and absolutely impossible.

Apollo………? ? ?

As the god of glory, Apollo, the Lord of the Sun, has a large number of fans in Olympus. Among the gods enshrined by human beings, the believers who believe in him are among the best. Obviously, the king of gods sent him down to do hard labor. Shengsheng let admiration come from all over the world to peek at the welcome party of His Royal Highness Apollo, the handsome and unparalleled sun god. There are countless human women just to see him.

The goddess, as bright as a young deer, happily ran to him, stood in front of him, and looked at him with ignorant eyes. Even if he was used to seeing the beautiful Apollo, the sight moved him.

It's just that he is too familiar with the admiring eyes of He Bo, looking at He Bo's adoring eyes, he can't help teasing her viciously, does he hate He Bo?No, I just want to see Heber's face that is [-]% like Hera's, and his expression when he refuses.

But I didn't expect the goddess of youth to roll her eyes at him, turn around and run away, which brought a greater impact to Apollo, no, under normal circumstances, even if he said something that hurt her, she wouldn't Should we continue to persevere?

Wasn't that what people used to do?Has his charm failed?

Can't, shouldn't, he is the most beautiful man in Olympus.

Apollo looked at the river next to him suspiciously, he was still so handsome.

Hebe carried the God's Domain and walked halfway, but he began to regret it on the way. The small stone turned back into a heavy stone wall, trying to use his weight to prevent Hebe from taking it back, it was a mistake!What have you exchanged with Apollo! ! !

The oracle has always been disobedient, and made troubles several times. The first time was in the Temple of Love. I turned around disobediently and showed her Paris's life from now to the future, which caused Heber to be backlashed by the three goddesses of fate. He has not recovered, and he is still a little blind.

The second time in the Temple of Youth, I ran away privately. If Hermes hadn't just come and blocked the oracle with back and forth attacks, it would have been so easy to let him escape.

For the third time, I showed her a memory of Midea. She did so many things one by one, just to escape!Is it meaningful to change something that you want to escape all the time, and keep it by your side for 30 years?

The oracle was still looking for a chance to sneak away, and ran around like crazy. The angry Herb directly tied a rope to it and led it away.

On the way, I happened to meet Pan, the god of shepherds. He led two Pegasus horses with wings, rolling in the clouds, and from a long distance away, he saw something placed by Hebe, which exhausted the always energetic goddess. Pan, the god of animal husbandry, smiled shyly, "Is the goddess of youth also coming to let the horses go?"

Then he saw that what Heber was leading was not a horse, but a runaway stone!The stone is quite ordinary. Is this the stone that becomes the essence?

"Oh! Oh! Is this a new fashion in Olympus?" Pan, the god of faun, came to send high-quality horses to the goddess of agriculture to relieve boredom. He usually lives on the earth, and he is not qualified to live in Olympus. lympus.

Olympus is simply the darling of fashion. All the interesting things in the world are handed down from the sacred mountain Olympus.

He looked curiously at Heber, who was holding the moving stone in his hand, and she casually perfunctory Pan, "Oh, yes..." and hurried away leading the unrestrained stone.

Finally brought it back to the temple, Heber looked at the oracle and made an agreement with Apollo that the oracle would lend her 30 years, and she would not dispute the origin of the moon.

It's a completely equivalent exchange, and now the 30-year return period has not yet come, she can't return the oracle to Apollo.

She squatted on the ground and stared at the oracle, wanting to have a friendly communication with it, but the oracle lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, refusing to communicate. enjoin.

"Hello?...Master? Don't pretend to be dead! I've discussed something with you, and you were bought by Apollo. Why don't you work hard for me for 30 years? You'll go back when the time is up, don't So homesick!" Heber looked suspiciously at the oracle, "Don't think I don't know how old you are! You must be older than me at least, only children are homesick..."

"..." Still motionless.

"Whether you want to work for me or not, you will stay with me for 30 years anyway. I can't return you to Apollo! Apollo wouldn't send you here to cheat me, right?"

Originally, they ignored the oracle proposed by Hebe, but when they heard that Hebe doubted Apollo, they immediately jumped high and rushed straight to Hebe's face. Was this defending Apollo's dignity?

……

No matter how old or young the goddess is, she always takes special care of her face, and Heber is no exception. She calmly took out the golden cup and sent the oracle flying far away.

Not to be outdone, the oracle continued to pounce viciously, just like this, it was a model of perseverance, and Hebe was so tired that he was out of breath, and he was fine.

"Are you still in the mood? Why are you so excited when you talk about Apollo? You are an oracle, so it's possible that you still like Apollo!" Hebe didn't even take what she said seriously.

But looking at the oracle, who was still baring his teeth and claws, suddenly lying on the ground shyly, his emerald skin turned crimson.

"Isn't it? You really like Apollo, and you two are not of the same race!" Although they are Greek gods, they don't care about this, just look at Poseidon, the king of the sea.

He doesn't care about his lover's race at all, he has combined with sea monsters, giants, etc. to give birth to offspring, but a slate!It's too insane!Besides, the contacts of the sun god Apollo are quite normal.

Hebe looked at the oracle and didn't know what to say to persuade it...

Not long after Hebe's eyes recovered, a major event happened in Olympus. Hestia, one of the original twelve gods, asked Zeus to resign. Hestia shirked everything she had done in Olympus. position, asked Zeus to let her live in the world.

Zeus respected this sister who had never been married and swore to be a virgin Goddess very much. He generously agreed to Hestia's request. Give it to Hestia, let her sister have a home in every place in the world.

But once Hestia left, there would be a vacancy in the position of the Twelve Lords. Although everyone didn't fight for it on the surface, there were undercurrents and small movements in the dark, and they fought one after another, only to tear their face.

The strength of Olympus is the most respected, Zeus has unlimited rights as the god king, and Hera, as the wife who shares her husband's status, can exercise all the rights owned by her husband.

Together with the twelve main gods, they stand at the upper level of the Pyramid of Olympus, and have voting and decision-making power in major events in Olympus.

The conditions for being canonized as the main gods are at least first-class gods. Faced with such conditions, Hebe will not be able to participate in this handover of power, and this laurel crown of the twelve main gods, which symbolizes rights, has skipped a lot of people. The old god's residence was crowned by Artemis.

Looking at Artemis wearing the crescent moon crown, and Pandya accompanying Artemis, she obviously obtained the authority of the full moon, what is there not to understand!
