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

Tartarus had reason to suspect that Apollo liked him.

He is an inquisitive character. At that time, he wanted to confirm with Apollo, but because Admetos was still around, he couldn't open his mouth.

When Apollo looked at Tartarus, he never hid his eyes, and he didn't expect that Tartarus would suddenly discover something.He briefly talked with Tartarus, then looked at the frustrated Admetos, and said, "You haven't given up yet, have you?"

Admetus was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Did Apollo understand? He also imagined that if one day his thoughts were revealed and Tartarus rejected him, he would not give up.He encouraged Admetos, and at the same time encouraged himself: "As long as she still has no one she likes, you can go for it as much as you can."

Admetus sighed: "I thought so too."

Tartarus was puzzled: "Since you? Still? Want to fight for it, why are you sighing?"

His idea is relatively simple: "If you want to eat barbecue, you have to hunt seriously. If you like Alcestis, you should pursue her. Alcestis has already told you that it is useless to meet her father's requirements for recruiting a son-in-law. "

But Admetos said: "No, it is useful." He said, looking through the layers of mountains, as if he wanted to see the city of Iolcos in the neighboring country.He said: "Alcestis wants to achieve? Marriage freedom, I will help her achieve it? Satisfying what she wants, this is my best pursuit."

Apollo suddenly asked: "You mean, fulfill the king's request, and then return the freedom of marriage to Alcestis?"

Admetus did not answer.He thought of Alcestis's delicate face like a rose, and her red cloak fluttered by the wind, and smiled: "She should be free, and no one can control her."

That's what he loves about her.

his rose.

Apollo was quite shocked.On the sacred mountain of Olympus, he was used to the trickery and robbery like Zeus.Unexpectedly, Admetos also held power in his hands, but he did not use his power to overwhelm others.He loves with respect? How could Alcestis not love him?

Thinking of this, Apollo praised: "You are right. I believe that if you pursue her in this way, she will definitely feel your love."

Admetus laughed again, and his eyes rekindled hope: "A rose has thorns, I never knew? How can I love her so that I won't be stabbed by her. In fact, I was wrong. So? I always wanted to pick her before, but naturally I would be stabbed by her. From now on, I will take good care of her and let her grow. She is a rose, and I will be her sunshine and rain."

After hearing this, Tartarus found "love" even more wonderful.

What exactly is "love"? What kind of emotion?It can make a person "go all out" to love another person, and give up his own possessiveness in order to love her.

Did Apollo have this kind of feeling for him?

Tartarus looked at Apollo, he did not hide his gaze, Apollo soon noticed his gaze, and smiled at him.

Apollo looks so pretty when he smiles.

Tartarus couldn't say the words that Admetus praised Alcestis, but he felt that he couldn't look away.

He thought that when Admetus was gone, he must ask Apollo.

——He looked at him like that and smiled at him, did he fall in love with him?

Admetus, however, would not let Tartarus do so easily.He had just made up his mind to help Alcestis regain the autonomy of marriage, and it was the time when he was full of passion.He had enough rest sitting on the slightly moist grass, gathered up enough energy, and started a new round of fighting with the bear.

Apollo helped him control the bear, and when he was ready, he turned back to Tartarus.

Helios, the sun god, had just climbed to the top of the sky, and it was noon.Apollo looked at the sky and asked, "Tal, what do you want to eat?" In the past, Tartarus ate too much.After coming to Free City, he has developed the habit of being a human being, eating meals on time.Apollo has always been considerate to him, remembering his little habits.

Seeing him coming towards him, Tartarus was about to ask a question, but he changed the subject: "I hunted an extra deer last night, let's eat venison today."

Apollo confirmed the cooking method with him again, and after asking each one, he went to prepare lunch for him.

"Wait!" Tartarus called to him.

Apollo looked back, his deep green eyes fixed on Tartarus.

It's that look again.

Gentle, caring.

Tartarus said without thinking, "Apollo, you..."

At the same time, another male voice sounded, overlapping with his voice: "Good Apollo, I've been looking for you everywhere, but you actually hide here for leisure!"

Tartarus frowned, Apollo had already looked over: "Hermes."

The envoy who stepped on the flying shoes flew closer, leaving behind the Nymph who was leading the way.Unexpectedly, he flew so close, did he? See clearly that the two male gods were frowning, as if they didn't welcome him very much.

Tsk, is he so annoying?

Hermes had no self-knowledge. He rubbed his chin. He didn't think he? What's not to like? He turned his head and put aside this doubt.

Hermes came to the human world this time, and he came with official business.After finishing his official duties and about to return to Mount Olympus, he suddenly remembered Apollo who was exiled here by Zeus, so he came to "visit" his good brother.He greeted Tartarus—although he heard that the God of Abyss and the God of Light had left the God Realm together, he never expected that after so long, this mighty, primordial god would still be with Apollo. together.But this does not affect him to shout at Apollo.He talked eloquently about all kinds of feasts in the God Realm, and there were beautiful women at the banquet? God's favor and joy, and he expressed his regret from time to time, regretting that Apollo was not in the God Realm.

Tartarus looked inexplicably: "Your expression doesn't look regretful."

He always knows how to expose other people's politeness.

Hermes stuttered, rolled his eyes, and admitted calmly: "I really don't have much regrets, I just want to make Apollo feel regretful."

Hearing this, Tartarus felt a little unhappiness between his brows.

Apollo's expression was indifferent: "I will not regret it."

Hermes didn't believe it, and exclaimed, "Great God of Light, your mouth is as hard as a dead duck!"

Apollo laughed at him for not understanding, looked deeply at Tartarus and said, "The scenery I have seen is the most beautiful scenery. What regrets?"

Hermes was taken aback for a moment, but felt that Apollo's tone of voice and the way he looked at people were strange.He smacked his lips, feeling delicate and speechless for a moment.

As keen as Hermes, he couldn't hear the melodious strings of Apollo, and Tartarus was even less good at it.Just as he listened to Hermes' ridicule, he also felt indifferent, and there was nothing to be angry about.But if Apollo likes to party, he has a solution: "If you like to be lively, I can? Move the whole Olympus over here, and let the gods come and feast with you."

The person who spoke is an understatement, but it was a thunderbolt that hit the world.

Hermes:? ? ?

Hermes was speechless, only feeling that "weak divine power?" limited his imagination.So even he, the Twelve Lord Gods of Olympus, dare not think so, and only the great Abyss God can have such a "big hand"!

Apollo was shocked when he heard what Tartarus said.He refused: "No need, Tal, this is too troublesome."

Tartarus was very straightforward: "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of raising your hand."

Hermes: "..."Suddenly? I was a little scared of him? Before turning back to Mount Olympus, the mountain had already moved.If the irritable god king knows his role in promoting this, I'm afraid that the ruthless thunder and lightning will fall in an instant and blow him into pieces!

Hermes fell into the endless condemnation of himself? This mouth, but Apollo saved his life: "Tal, I am not keen on the feast of the gods. In my opinion, the excitement is far less It's quiet and charming? Love. You like this world better too, don't you?"

"You are right." Tartarus was persuaded, and did not mention the matter of moving the mountain again.

Hermes gave Apollo a grateful look as if he had been pardoned.

Apollo refused to accept his thanks, but smiled at Tartarus.What he said was not to relieve Hermes, but he just didn't want to be disturbed.If Hermes hadn't talked too much, Tartarus would never have thought of moving the mountain to hold a banquet, and would not have caused these follow-ups.

Hermes hit a wall with Apollo, touched his nose, and was a little embarrassed.He has always been fond of talking and talking, but when he meets a Tartarus who will take everything seriously, those runaway people dare not say anything, and if he is asked to say something else, he has nothing to say.

No one cared about Hermes' embarrassment. Apollo didn't want to talk to him any more, and just wanted to prepare lunch for Tartarus.He was about to see off the guests, but Tartarus snatched him first: "Are you finished?"

"Uh..." Hermes really didn't have anything to say, but if he just left, he felt that it was a bit inexplicable for him to come this trip.

Hermes was scratching his head. What else do you want to say to make this trip easier? Not bad, but Tartarus didn’t give him this chance: “Let’s go when you’re done.”

Hermes: "..."

Hermes still didn't give up: "God of the Abyss, I haven't seen Apollo for a long time, and I want to talk about the old days..."

Tartarus turned cold and unhappy: "I've been listening to you for a long time, but there's nothing nice to say. If you don't think about what to say, come back when you think about it. I also have something to say to Apollo, you're delaying me It's time."

Hermes felt that what Tartaros said in the first half was indeed the truth, but the second half was pure nonsense.They live together, what can't be said later, this time? Say?But he is a good thing? Hearing what Tartarus said, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.Then he said: "What do you want to say, you can say it now, maybe we can talk together."

Seeing that Tartarus' expression remained unchanged, he added: "Could it be? I can't hear what you want to say?"

There's nothing I can't hear.

Tartarus has a straightforward character, and when Hermes said this, he said it directly.

"Apollo, I think you're in love with me."

Hermes was playing with his staff of two snakes, heard that he almost missed it and threw the staff out.He suspected that he had misheard, so he looked at Apollo with his eyes, wanting to see his reaction.But I saw Apollo sitting upright, with solemnity written between his brows.

As for the God of Abyss who threw down the thunder, he was also looking at the God of Light right now, and confirmed to him: "Is my judgment right or wrong?"

The author has something to say: If you are full of dog food, Hermes will not lose money on this trip.
