spartan ancestor

In the dead of night, the moonlight hides lazily in the clouds.

Hyacinths strolled leisurely along the path, with peeled citrus in his hand, and beside him was Apollo who was holding back his tears and pushing the cart.

It's normal for Apollo to feel aggrieved. Just now, Yacintos searched his temple face to face, and casually showed "how to play the godhead more slippery than him just getting started."

"I'm just trying it blindly." This person still acted as if he was also surprised, and his face was full of hypocritical modesty, "Who knew that using divine power in reverse can have a hidden effect? ​​You have had the godhead for so long, Haven't you tried it?"

At that time, Apollo was being forced to push the cart with injuries, and when he heard this, he suddenly had a mouthful of old blood in his chest.

He stared at the priests with resentful eyes, but because of the blessing of divine power, no one could see such a big man with a chariot in front of the priests.

The priests were still blind, exclaiming beside him, "It really is a miracle given by Apollo, the cart full of medicinal herbs disappeared out of thin air."

If it wasn't for being pinched at the back of the neck, Apollo would have liked to push the cart to wake them up.

Hyacinths peeled off a piece of fruit, calmly faced Apollo's hot gaze, and threw it into his mouth: "To be honest, this thing is a bit sour, and I don't like it very much. But its price is very beautiful, because this fruit It is only produced in some islands in the southwestern Aegean Sea, and it has only begun to flow into the Peloponnese in recent years."

Apollo stared at the remaining petals: "Oh, don't you like it? Actually, I happen to be a little thirsty..."

Yacintos: "I observed it, and it is likely to be shipped from two regions. You can see that the fruit in this bowl has thin skin and sour fruit, and the fruit in this bowl has thick skin and sweet fruit. And when you bite open The core of the fruit looks different. I don’t know much about it, but there must be a reason for such a difference, and it can at least prove that this fruit has a chance to survive in different regions.”

As if not understanding Apollo's cue, Hyacinthus stuffed the remaining three petals into his mouth.

Apollo was still amazed at how Hyacinthus figured it out, but when he saw this, he was so angry that he threw the cart away on the spot: "You—"

"Think about it before you make trouble," Jacintos glanced at him with a smile, "Last time, a drop of tears made you lose your power, this time it may be missing an eye and a leg."

He cheated casually, and paused after speaking, remembering something was wrong.

Apollo was in the cubicle when he was tossing tears with Aka before, and he should have heard their failed attempts.

Hyacinthos thought about it for a while, and was just about to patch the loophole, when Apollo silently shrank his head and lifted the handle of the cart on the ground.

"...?" Hyacinthus looked at Apollo, who was threatened, in surprise, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing scratching the door in the cubicle?"

Obviously they just talked about trying out the godhead, Apollo immediately interjected excitedly, how could he not have heard their movement before.

Apollo actually felt even more guilty, and his eyes fluttered: "I...I'm taking medicine." He emphasized his tone to defend himself, "I don't mean to waste it, it really hurts! I didn't expect that once I relaxed, The wound was more painful than before, the pain made my head buzz and I was dizzy, so I dazed and dabbed some medicine on the wound indiscriminately."

Apollo tried his best to add adjectives to the description, so as to explain that his waste of herbs was really justifiable, and tried to open his eyes wide, so as to show the sincerity of his eyes to Hyacinthus.

Hyacinths believed it without him squeezing the sincerity out of his eyes.

What bad luck it must have been to miss crucial information just because he was dizzy in pain.

He raised his hand and rubbed Apollo's golden head with compassion: "Don't touch the fish, it doesn't hurt now, does it? Hurry up and send the herbs to the ground."

Apollo: "..."

Hyacinthus: "By the way, by the way, do you know of any way to kill God?"

"..."

"Clap!"

Apollo was frightened and dropped the armrest in his hand, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly lifted it up, and a moment of infinite motivation surged in his heart: "I don't know, I just know that I love labor!"

·

Jacintos didn't intend to tell the third person about the dream and godhead, so he only ordered Aka to wait in the wasteland behind the courtyard so that he could hand over the herbs.

The untended land is overgrown with weeds and bushes tall enough to hide a human head.

Hyacinthus pushed aside the grass and looked towards the agreed bare rock, and saw Aka who had been standing there for an untold amount of time just raised his head, his dark eyes turned from empty to filled with spirit, and then he lit the torch neatly: "The temple Are all the herbs here?"

"I left half of it in the temple. After all, I have to consider the soldiers and recruits for training." Yacintos watched Aka come over to count the herbs, "You brought a torch, why didn't you light it just now?"

"...No need." Aka withdrew his hand from looking at the herbs, "How do you plan to send these herbs out?"

Yacintos yawned lazily: "Think about it, don't use my name anyway. Don't get in touch with me as soon as something about the temple comes out."

Seeing Aka looking at him all the time, he thought he couldn't think of a way out: "You can pretend to be a disguise, fabricate the existence of a few doctors, and send them under the guise of their names. In short, don't have anything to do with me or the temple."

He waved his hand: "I really have to go and lie down. I just took a long detour to the private palace of my father and old Kesang, and then went to the senate to throw the recipe on their table..."

It has to be said that the divine power he can use seems useless, but it is actually quite convenient.At least when he delivered the formula, he didn't need to think hard about how to bypass the patrolling soldiers, he could just open the window, which saved a lot of trouble.

Jacintos took a few steps towards the courtyard, and then turned back: "There is a small basket of fruit at the back, and you can give it to me by the way—forget it, that's too obvious."

He looked around, and said with a slightly teasing tone: "It's just that, don't you want to go to the ground? The wasteland behind is so suitable for fighting. You can cultivate a small area and try to grow these fruits."

"..."

Under the moonlight, A-Ka's expression was still calm, but the black eyes staring at him somehow made Yacintos feel that the other party seemed a little sad.

——What's so sad?Is it because you were punished the first time?I didn't sound very accusatory, did I?

"This is to make you remember. Don't rush into it when you know it's dangerous next time..." Yacintos paused as he spoke, "...Okay."

Apollo, who had been ignored all the time, couldn't help interjecting: "What's your tone?? He didn't say anything, he didn't get hurt, why do you look soft-hearted, I'm hurt like this and you still let me push the cart! After all! Who is the lover who has been with you for several years?!"

He was quite aggrieved, with broken cans written all over his face, consciously showing his face, he would rather reveal his true identity than ask for an explanation for himself, but he didn't know that when he was dazed after applying the medicine, his underwear had already been exposed all clean.

Yacintos pushed away the golden retriever who was approaching indignantly, and corrected: "It's not lovers, we haven't made a relationship."

Apollo looked like a bolt from the blue: "Excellent! I'm not even as good as a lover!"

Yacintos had to use his trump card: "I think you want to make me cry once."

"..." Apollo became obedient in Aka's confused eyes, "No... no, haha, I love labor, so what, if you don't fall in love, you don't fall in love. It's good to be soft-hearted, good to be soft-hearted. Be happy, don't cry .”

A-Ka looked silently, probably asking what's wrong with this guy?

Yacintos covered the ears of the golden retriever who didn't dare to struggle, leaned close to Aka's ear, and told the silly golden retriever how he missed key information and didn't know that his tears were uncontrollable, and then backed away.

"It's really difficult for one person to take care of the wasteland, and it's best not to let other people in the yard know about the fruit. There are so many fruits, it's hard for you to destroy them alone, and it's troublesome to grow them behind your back. We solved these fruits Go back again, leave the core, start tomorrow, when everyone else is asleep at night, I will plant it with you."

A-Ka still didn't make a sound, just nodded, but Yacintos looked into those black eyes, and the inexplicable sadness seemed to dissipate for the most part.

Hyacinthus couldn't help but smiled, and patted Apollo on the back: "Go, bring the fruit, we'll share among the three."

The golden retriever was ecstatic, and immediately let go of his legs, leaving the limp behind him.

·

A basket of fruit is enough for three adult men to eat until their stomachs are full. Apollo experienced for the first time what it was like to "stomach ache".

Hyacinthus's house had only two beds, and Apollo could only sleep on the floor temporarily.He groaned and rubbed his stomach paralyzed on the quilt, secretly thinking about how to escape.

There are several great temples in Sparta, dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Artemis, the moon god, Dionysus, the god of wine, and so on.

Although the Spartans had the most celebrations to worship Apollo, the god they believed in most was Athena.

Logically speaking, Athena should come to visit frequently, but after seeing Hyacinthus, who made him announce the news that he would pursue the Spartan crown prince very actively, which made these gods feel bad, or It is because of the knowledge and interest that they avoided the place of Sparta.

To be honest, Apollo wasn’t even sure, even if he ran into the temples of other gods, whether these gods would respond to him, not to mention that Aka was not easy to fool when he saw it, sometimes his eyes made him feel scared, he There may not even be a chance to run into the temple.

What does it mean to lift a rock and hit his own foot? Apollo regretted so much that his intestines were green, and he couldn't help but raised his head and looked in the direction of Hyacinthus.

Hyacinthus enjoyed it more than he did. Aka rubbed his belly while lying on the bed: "...Well, after finishing the training, I should have participated in the group trial that year. I didn't plan to show my face before, so I didn't This badge."

He stretched his limbs on the bed comfortably, and said lazily: "If there are no accidents, based on the time in previous years, this trial should be held the day after tomorrow. According to the usual procedure, a competition will be arranged the first night. Those who take part in the trials have to wrestle with trained boars—"

Apollo stood up, and his depression was briefly forgotten, he said excitedly: "Oh? Then you will ask the boar to improve together on the field?"
