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

After eating the watermelon, the two male gods went to the palace in Free City.Apollo revealed his identity, and Admetus entertained them himself.

In the spacious hall, King Admetus sat at the head—he originally wanted to give the headship to Apollo, but Apollo refused.At this moment, he was talking with the two male gods respectfully and without losing his reserve, introducing his city-state to them.

In the hymn of the shepherds, Admetus is a hero of stature and stature, but Tartarus saw it with his own eyes, but found that it was not worthy of the name.The young man wearing the king's crown clearly had a delicate and handsome face, and his slightly drooping eyes shone with wisdom, making him look less like a strategizing king, and more like a gentle and refined scholar.

"To tell you the truth, before you came, I had already received an order from God? King, asking me to arrange some affairs for you."

Admetus poured Apollo a glass of wine. Although he didn't know the identity of Tartarus—Apollo only said that he was his friend, but he didn't favor one person over another, and treated the black robed Abyss with the same enthusiasm. god?.

Tartarus drank the wine slowly. Apollo had accepted Zeus' order, and did not mean to embarrass Admetos. He asked him about the requirements of the god-king.

Admetos was carefully watching Apollo's reaction, and seeing that he showed no sign of anger, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "The god? , to help the flock grow healthily."

Tartarus swallowed the wine in his throat and added to the topic: "But Zeus did not confer relevant priesthood on Apollo."

"Uh..." Admetus choked, trying to put the slave labor in a better way.

Although he doesn't know which god? Ming is the partner who is walking with the God of Light, but this god? Ming is too bold!What good would it do him to question God King's decision and to tear apart the illusion of harmony between God King father and son?

Admetos only felt a headache. He thought it would be difficult to entertain a great God of Light, but he didn't expect that he would also have an overly upright male god in black robes.

Apollo didn't intend to embarrass Admetos, he didn't expose the king's white lie, he just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I already have enough clerics, I don't need to add one more."

Admetos didn't expect Apollo to be surprisingly easy-going. His expression relaxed a little, and he said, "My ranch is not far from the city, and the two male gods can live in my palace. Of course, the people here The conditions may be far inferior to the God Realm, but I will do my best to make the two male gods live comfortably."

As well known as the wisdom of Admetus, was his generosity of hospitality.Apollo looked at him, and saw full sincerity in his slightly melancholy eyes. He was not talking politely, but sincerely invited them to stay temporarily.

However, Apollo rejected him: "Since it is grazing, it is naturally not related to a comfortable life, so I will live in your pasture!"

During those years of fleeing in a hurry, Apollo was not very particular about food and lodging. Of course, he was willing to create better living conditions for Tartarus, but only if no one disturbed them.However——Apollo's peripheral vision swept across the palace, and the attendants inside and outside the palace all lowered their heads.

They were all looking at Tartarus, and Apollo felt their gaze.

He didn't like their stares.

As Apollo spoke, he looked at Tartarus again and asked, "Tal, what do you think?"

If Tartarus was dissatisfied with living on the ranch, he would create better living conditions for him to make him content.

Tartarus was asked, opened his mouth, and hiccupped first.When Apollo was talking with Admetus, he drank too much wine, and his breath was filled with a faint smell of wine: "I'm here with you, and it's up to you to arrange."

His voice was still cold and indifferent, but he delivered 100% trust.

Apollo smiled again, different from the friendly and kind smile before, he smiled more genuinely and gently.

Admetus went to the heart, and suddenly understood the relationship between the two male gods.

How much the God of Light cherishes the male god in black robes, just like how he treats the princess!

Admetus figured out the key, and immediately changed his attitude. Instead of forcing the two male gods to stay in Free City, he took the initiative to lead them to the pasture on the outskirts of the city, and took this beautiful scenery. Both were given to the two male gods.

"I am ashamed to say that although I sent people to build a residence for the two male gods here, so that the two male gods can also have a shelter from the wind and rain in the pasture, but because of the short time, I have just seen a little prototype." Actually Admetus did not know beforehand that Apollo would bring other gods over, and everything was prepared for him.

Admetus pointed to the slightly broken foundation in the grass, but Tartarus blinked, not seeing it at all.

Apollo smiled lightly and said: "It's okay, manpower is limited, you have a heart. Besides—" He looked around and said with satisfaction: "The scenery here is very good, the lighting is also very good, and it is a livable place."

While speaking, Apollo looked at Tartarus: "Tal, what do you think?"

Tartarus didn't understand these things, so he just said, "It's up to you to decide."

Apollo thus finalized the address.Sitting cross-legged, he used the golden harp to attract many nymphs from the forest, asking them for help, and a small but exquisite house was quickly built.

Admetos stared wide-eyed, looking at the house built out of thin air in a short period of time, couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of the miracle.When he looked at Apollo again, the awe in his eyes increased a bit.

The strong trees make the walls, and the dense leaves cover the roof. Under the scorching sun, the tree house still looks very cool.

Apollo also asked the nymphs to build another one for Tartarus to live in.

When Admetus heard this, he showed a surprised expression: "Don't the two male gods live together?"

Apollo froze for a moment, showing an unexpected expression.

Tartarus was more direct, asking, "Should I live with Apollo?"

The ranch is so big, how much? It doesn’t take much space to build a tree house, right?

Admetus froze.He knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and while regretting that he had said what was in his heart, he explained embarrassingly: "No, no... I just wanted to..." How can a lover not stay together?

Apollo blessed his soul and spoke for him: "I think what Admetos meant was that I invited you to come over as a guest, but let you live alone on the side, which should not be."

Admetos thought that this seemed wrong, not to mention how could the God of Light look at the black-robed male god as a "guest"? How could he have the courage to question God's way of hospitality?He wanted to add a few words for himself, but he was afraid that the description would become darker, so he hesitated and was robbed by Tartaros again.

Tartarus said that he didn't need entertainment, he was fine living alone.

Apollo's eyes moved slightly, which revealed his selfishness.He listed the advantages of living together, trying to convince Tartarus: "If we live together, I can ask you to go to herd every morning, and when the sheep come back, we can hunt together in the forest, and when we rest at night, I'll play nice piano music for you, isn't that good?"

"Is this different from when we were in the God Realm?" Tartaros blinked and asked straightforwardly: "Don't you call me if you don't live together?"

Apollo scratched his hair helplessly, and had to admit: "Indeed, living apart? Living together won't affect our lives. But—"

He paused, fixed his eyes on Tartarus, and said with great sincerity: "But, I want to live with you."

During these years in Olympus, the survival rule learned by Apollo is to use clever words to get what he wants. When facing Tartarus, he often uses these methods unconsciously.If you think about it carefully, you don't have to.Tartarus had always treated him with sincerity, so what could he not say?

Apollo was relieved when he said these words.His eyes shone with fragments of gold, brighter than the spring sun, and they were like catkins on the river bank, scratching people's hearts.

Who can deny his request?

Not even Tartarus.

"Then let's live together."

Tartarus replied.

Admetus watched all this, feeling speechless.If he judged purely from the dialogue between the two male gods, he should have really misunderstood the relationship between the two male gods.But looking at the words and deeds in the eyes of the two, who can say that they have no affection?

Admetus decided to push the two male gods, and suggested: "If the two male gods are going to move in today, I will have someone carry the custom-made ivory bed here."

While laying the foundations in full swing, Admetus also built an ivory bed for the god of light.Of course, only one.

Apollo shook his head and said, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome. The ivory bed is for resting. The bed made of ordinary trees also has the same function. It's not bad to be simple."

Admetus admired Apollo's tolerance, no more? Say.

Apollo ordered the nymphs to build two wooden beds.

There are two beds, but they are packed full of space in the small tree house, leaving only a narrow aisle.

Seeing this, Tartarus frowned, and reached out to push the two beds together.Under Apollo's surprised eyes, he said lightly: "This is much more spacious."

Tartarus didn't know what Apollo was trying to do to him, and an unintentional move brought them closer.Seeing this, Apollo had to lament the twists and turns of fate.

After seeing off Admetus, the sun was already quietly going down the mountain.Apollo smiled and said to Tartarus: "Tal, do you want to eat venison today? Do you want to hunt deer together?"

Apollo had already observed the surrounding terrain when he came here with Admetos. There is not only a wide grassland, but also a forest that is not too low. Presumably there are many prey in the forest, which can satisfy the tower. The appetite of Hurtaros.

Tartarus heard the words, but rarely did not respond positively to him, but seemed to be caught in some kind of thinking, with a serious expression and frowning.

"Tal?" Apollo asked again in a low voice.

The silent God of Abyss? Suddenly moved, he approached Apollo without warning, raised his hand and pressed the handsome God of Light into his arms.

The strength is not light, it is really "press".

Apollo suddenly bumped into each other and was stunned.

Tartarus' embrace was neither soft nor warm. It had the same aura of frost and snow as his temperament, which had nothing to do with tenderness.

He didn't even pay much attention to his posture and strength, hugging Apollo's body like hugging a doll taller than himself.

"Tal?"

It took Apollo a long time to find his voice, but his voice was dry and hoarse, which was completely different from the usual clarity.

He raised his hand, wanting to hug Tartarus back.It is also like Narcissus shining on the water, for fear of disturbing the beautiful lover in the water.He raised his arm slightly, but finally let it go.

Tartarus hugged Apollo for 1 minute, as if to check the time, and when the time was up, he let him go.

"Apollo, I'm here."

Apollo was taken aback.

Tartarus looked into his eyes and repeated: "Apollo, I am here."

"So you don't have to worry. I will accompany you and get out of the trough of your god-life."

Apollo: "..."

Apollo didn't feel that he was in a slump, nor could he accept Tartarus' kindness.

His Tal wasn't so emotional, did someone say something to him?

Apollo was thinking about how to ask, only to hear Tartarus ask: "I live with you, and I coax you, have you become happier?"

Apollo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked him, "Who told you I'm not happy?"

Tartarus did not doubt him, and told the truth: "Muse?"

The author has something to say: After a revision, I feel that the previous version is not quite right.

Today is the little cute Tal who tried to send himself to Apollo's mouth!
