Do not wake up the gods of the abyss [Greek mythology]

Under the sunlight, the Temple of Light looked extraordinarily holy. The white walls and pillars reflected a light golden light, and there were specks of dust floating in the air.The white swan perched on the fountain pool outside the hall, watching the two male gods approaching slowly, fluttered their wings and flew away into the bright beam of light.

Ares is familiar with the Temple of Light. When Apollo was accepted by Zeus, he had troubled him many times, wanting to fight more with this famous long-range shooter.

Apollo stayed behind closed doors, so he climbed over the wall and entered, anyway, he must achieve his goal.As a result, he became a frequent visitor to the Temple of Light, and even the white swans outside the temple knew him, and every time they saw him coming, they would go in and report to Apollo.

The unpopular Ares has no self-knowledge. He led Tartarus through the fountain and into the temple of the God of Light, and he was still asking Tartarus about various battle-related things.

Tartarus was not a good talker, and only occasionally replied to him.

The war-loving god of war didn't care about Tartarus' indifference, and was very happy when he got a little harvest.

One kept talking, the other kept silent, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious.

Ares was talking about his experience in researching weapons when he suddenly heard footsteps.Melpomene with a sweet voice came up to her, and saw her fluffy hair twitching and bouncing with the movement of running, and before anyone could see her face clearly, the words of thanks came out of her mouth: " Your Majesty the God of War, the God of Light is not in the temple, please go back."

Ares came over ten times, and the answer was the same ten times.He doubted: "Really? I don't believe it."

The straightforward God of War exposed the lies of the God of Light in a disgraceful manner, and decided to use the Muse to deceive him, and forcibly broke into the Temple of Light.He was already ready to fight, and only waiting for Melpomene's affirmation, he would rush in with his knife in hand.

Melpomene sensed a dangerous aura and couldn't help but have a headache.She knew very well that Ares was not so easy to deal with, and the hateful sisters pushed her out and asked her to negotiate with this savage male god.She organized her words in her mind, raised her eyes slightly, and unexpectedly saw clearly that the male god next to God of War was the God of Abyss!

The goddess in charge of tragedies and elegy blinked her eyes, and suddenly said with a playful smile: "It seems that I can't fool you, please forgive my little joke."

Ok?

Ares was a little confused.

He watched Melpomene lift up his skirt, and saluted him: "The Temple of Light welcomes you very much, Your Royal Highness of the Abyss God and His Highness of War God."

Ares has always been criticized as a "reckless man", but at this time, he has a rare brain light.He finally understood why he wasn't turned away this time - Melpomene was doing Tartarus face.

However, Melpomene went down the steps, but he couldn't let out the breath he was holding in his chest, so he could only hold it back.

Melpomene led the two to the main hall of the temple.

Apollo, who is proficient in literature and art, has always had a good vision. His temple is very beautifully arranged, which is both elegant and comfortable, which amazes the gods.Ares is not a god of enjoyment, but he also remembers that Apollo's temple is not what he sees now——

A long stone table was placed in the hall, replacing the original carpet on the floor.Qiqi, the muse who likes to kneel on the velvet blanket and play and sing, is not in the hall. There is no constant music in the hall, only the smell of food rising.

Ares didn't care why Apollo's temple changed its layout, he was only very sensitive in finding faults, and he opened his mouth and said, "Apollo, why do you prepare so much food? Your nine muses eat so much in one meal? "

Apollo was originally sitting on the throne to sleep, but he opened his eyes in the message from Melpomene, and stood up to meet Tartarus.He was not annoyed when he heard Ares' inquiry, but said, "This is a banquet for my guests."

Ares twitched his lips: "There is no need for a banquet, you can entertain me with a fight."

"Yes." Tartarus spoke first.

What do you want?

Ares was puzzled.

I saw Tartarus take a few steps forward and take a seat on the dining table: "He is serving me." This sentence can be regarded as an answer to Ares' doubts.

Then Tartarus raised his eyes and greeted Apollo: "Eat first, and then go to the medicine field." He turned his back on the guest, as if he was the master of the Temple of Light.

Ares didn't understand why Tartarus arranged everything so clearly that there was no room for him to make trouble.He wanted to say something else, but he saw Apollo opened the chair, sat down beside Tartaros, and brought some food for him, before slowly saying: "Ares, if you want to enjoy the food, I am happy to entertain you." You. If you want to fight, please come back another day."

"Come again at another time?" Ares felt that he had understood the hint, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Then I will come again tomorrow, I believe you will not reject me again! That's it, you eat well , we will fight again tomorrow!"

Before Apollo refused, Ares rushed out of the Temple of Light impatiently, as if afraid of Apollo's remorse.

Tartarus realized what was wrong, and asked, "A fight tomorrow?"

Apollo winked at him and said, "I won't be at the temple tomorrow."

It seems that there is no plan to accept the appointment.

The smell of food wafted to the tip of his nose, Tartarus didn't ask any more questions, and lowered his head to eat.

Apollo gave him cloth with great care and introduced him to various foods. Tartarus quickly found out among the many foods that were more suitable for his taste.

After a while, Apollo noticed: Some of the exquisite bowls and plates containing delicacies were empty, and some were still full.In just two days, this male god from the abyss learned to be picky eaters without a teacher.

With a smile on his lips, Apollo shook his head helplessly.The more we get along, the more he marvels at the conflicting temperament of Tartarus. He can always do the most incredible things so naturally that people can't help but be attracted by his mystery.

Suddenly, a piece of pastry was handed to him.Apollo was in a trance, subconsciously stepped back a little, and looked into Tartarus' calm eyes.

"You too," said Tartarus.

Apollo's heart was burning slightly. He lowered his eyes and looked at the pastry in Tartarus's hand. He refused to take advantage of others and said, "Thank you, God of the Abyss. I don't have much appetite. If you like it, eat more point."

Tartarus didn't speak, and just passed the pastry forward again, with a bit of stubbornness in his attitude that people couldn't see through.

Apollo couldn't, took the pastry, and just took a bite when he heard Tartarus say: "Eat seriously, don't look at me, it will affect my eating."

Apollo: "..."

Apollo choked a little.

When Tartarus had almost eaten, he stood up and brushed off the cake residue: "Let's go to the medicine field."

Apollo was surprised when he heard this: "Did you really borrow the bottle of life?"

Tartarus said he would borrow the Vial of Life, but he had no hope.Frankly speaking, he still can't figure out why Tartarus helped him so much, just because he treated him to barbecue, grilled crab, shortbread, salad, sea fish, lamb, pita bread, cheese, mosa Card?

...it seems to be more than that.

Only after Apollo listed them did he realize that in just two days, he had fed so much food to the God of the Abyss.

Closer to home, Apollo is very aware of the importance of the bottle of life to the goddess of the earth. Although he has never dealt with Gaia, the mother of the earth, he can also judge from the few words handed down—that goddess is not like her. as broad and peaceful as the earth.She couldn't easily lend her most important artifact to a junior just to revive a field of medicine.

Sure enough, Tartarus said, "No."

Apollo felt that the answer was within his expectations, and asked again: "Do you have any other methods?"

Tartarus shook his head again.

Under Apollo's puzzled gaze, he suddenly raised his hand, tore open the void, and took out a golden bottle from the endless darkness.

The bottle was inlaid with countless water drop-like sapphires, the golden body of the bottle reflected the blue gems, making it look very luxurious.And in the luxury, there is a touch of freshness, which comes from a section of tender green branch protruding from the bottle mouth, which is green and emerald, symbolizing infinite vitality.

Apollo recognized at a glance that this was the sacred object of Gaia, the legendary goddess of the earth-the bottle of life.

"So you borrowed the bottle of life!" Apollo felt incredible.One is Gaia's generosity, and the other is that Tartarus will play tricks on him.

Yet Tartarus still shook his head.

Under Apollo's questioning gaze, he slightly opened his lips and said in a calm tone: "I snatched this."

Listening to Tartarus' tone, it was like a gust of wind blowing away a cloud, so relaxed, so natural, as if it was only right and proper.

Apollo couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words.
