spartan ancestor

Hyacinthus didn't look at it for long before he was drawn back by the nobles around him: "...The most ridiculous thing is that Nick is probably not dead at all. But Dicia always acted as if he had the chance to win, as if no one could see As if he was bluffing."

"Really?" Hyacinthus withdrew his gaze, carelessly raised the corner of his lower lip at the nobleman, "Tell me in detail?"

This poor aristocratic gentleman has long been fascinated, swallowed his saliva with straight eyes, and said things that he would not have said even if he was beaten to death, but he told them like a bamboo tube, and someone beside him actively added :

"Dicia has always been very happy. After receiving Poseidon's favor, Poseidon will be invited to every reception. That god seems to have a soft spot for our Athens women, and I don't know what the hobby is. Anyway, every time At the banquet, a few maids will be caught...to have fun."

"Is this style that Disia intentionally promotes? He thinks this is a good opportunity to flatter. That idiot, I have long said that he only knows how to fight, and is not suitable to be a tyrant at all. What kind of conspiracy and intrigue are you doing?"

"Don't say that, Worf. This is a good thing for us. If it wasn't for his stupid trick to send a woman, how would we know that he is fooling us through the mouth of the maid? Poseidon himself told Maid, Nick is not dead at all, he is still in his Sea God Temple."

In the Sea God Temple?Hyacinthus paused for a moment while playing with the mask, and couldn't help looking across the crowd, searching for a while.

It was strange to say that these high-ranking officials and nobles were about to expose Dicia to the bottom, and he didn't see Dicia come out to stop him.

When he just entered the door, he caught a glimpse of Dicia's figure, why can't he find it now?

Hyacinthus was distracted, but the guests around him were still diligently recounting the information, which was mostly what he had heard in Auss.

For example, Dixie looks like she is beautiful, but in fact she is just a representative elected by the nobles.If something goes wrong, there will always be someone who can take his place.

The nobles don't care who sits in the position of the tyrant, as long as the tyrant can safeguard their interests as exploiters.

Hyacinthus lost interest after hearing this, and stood up: "Where's Dicia? As the host of the reception, shouldn't he make a toast? It's a pity that Poseidon himself didn't come to this banquet in person."

The people around laughed one after another. Even if they were fascinated by Jacintos's smile and couldn't make up their minds, their accumulated human experience over the years allowed them to see through Dicia's mind at a glance: "Don't think about it, he must be afraid of Posei. Dong saw you at the banquet! If you don’t believe me, look, next time he holds a reception, as long as you are here, he will definitely not invite Poseidon!”

"..." Yacintos looked at the laughing guests around the circle, and wondered whether Dicia could hold such an event called "reception", which was actually an "information leak meeting".

But these people are right, he probably won't see Poseidon here in Disia.

That being the case, the information that can be collected is almost the same, it is time to consider leaving.

Yacinthos looked around the banquet hall again, but still couldn't find Dicia.

This made him feel a little strange. After all, Dicia was still there before the guests started to dump the bamboo tubes. He really couldn't think of any reason why Dicia chose to give up stopping after witnessing the ridiculous behavior of the guests. Leaving the reception?

In the kitchen next to the banquet hall.

Poseidon rubbed the bridge of his nose that was almost broken with one hand, and clasped Dicia's neck with the other: "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You know that there are beauties at the reception, but you don't invite me. I don't bother to ask you why, anyway I want you to bring him within three days—no, within two days."

Thinking of the strange thoughts in his heart when he and Hyacinthus looked at each other before, Poseidon couldn't help but say a few more words: "You know the ritual of sacrifice, don't think about doing anything, I want him to have no hair Appear in front of me harmlessly, understand?"

He didn't have the nerve to ask Disia if the other party would have the same weird thoughts as him when he saw Hyacinthus, so he could only warn him by insinuating.

"..." Half of Dicia's face was twitching, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of anger or annoyance. Under the control of various emotions, he couldn't help but contradicted, "Why don't you just do it yourself? He's doing it right now. next door."

Poseidon rubbed the sore bridge of his nose again, his heart beating loudly: Do you think he doesn't want to?It's not that the few falls just now made him feel a little weak.

The ghost knows if this is the assassination of some enemy against him, or the revenge of the family of the girl who was taken away by him.Compared with satisfying lust, life is more important, he has to find a safe place to check and check first.

After Poseidon threatened, he left in a hurry.

Dicia rubbed his neck, not noticing that in the light and shadow around the room, there were several long strips of shadows that were almost unrecognizable in color, moving from the corner where Poseidon was standing to surround Dicia.

After thinking about it for a while, Shadow felt that this person was not a big threat, and finally retreated all the way silently.

Indistinguishable shadows passed out of the kitchen and around the corridor.Pass more of the same, long shadows along the way.

These shadows are like tentacles stretched out by sea monsters, almost occupying every corner of the mansion, turning this place into their lair.

And at the bottom of this monster lair.

A-Ka leaned against the wall of the dungeon, his eyelashes drooping slightly, and his gaze was distracted.

His pair of long legs stepped on the ground, and the shadows under his feet branched out into thousands of strands, which continued to grow, becoming tens of thousands of tentacles occupying this lair.

Hyacinthus was only half right about one of his guesses.

It is true that only when Hyacinthus appeared in front of him would he stare intently at Hyacinthus with condensed and scattered eyes.

But when Jacinthos was at a distance visible to the naked eye...his eyes never left Jacinthos.

The black laborer who gave him the white cloth before said that this is not a good habit, but he can't change it, and he doesn't want to change it.

Every second he was able to see Hyacinthus was like a steal to him, it could end at any moment, and he didn't want to waste a second.

Above the dungeon, in the kitchen.

Disia clutched her neck and punched the wall angrily: "Damn it..."

Damn Hyacinthos, damn Poseidon, damn those brainless idiots who can be seduced by a man's smile!

Disia gritted her teeth and thought, no, I can't really send Hyacinthus to Poseidon.Everyone knows that Hyacinthus is quite good at manipulating gods, who knows if Poseidon will be instigated to turn against him after sending Hyacinthus to the Sea God Temple!

Hyacinthus could not stay.Dicia's eyes darkened, she restrained her inappropriate look, raised her hand to straighten her collar, turned around and strode back to the reception.

Whether it's because of the information revealed by these outspoken idiots, or because of Poseidon's covetousness, Yacinthos can no longer stay.

But how to let Hyacinthos die without offending Poseidon, and even take the wrath of the gods for his own use... This can be planned.

Dicia thought about it, put a fake smile on his face, and opened his arms towards people: "It's so good to see you guys have a good conversation," shit, a bunch of idiots, "but it's a pity, I think it's time for a reception It's over. Don't worry, friends, I guarantee that there will be a grander reception soon, and you will have the opportunity to chat with His Majesty Hyacinthus."

"..." Yacinto held his wine glass and glanced at Dicia.

The word "guarantee" made his heart skip a beat, and looking at the eyes of the Athenian general, Hyacinthus was sure that the other party had moved to kill.

It seems that the dungeon can't be kept anymore, but fortunately, all the information that should be known has been found out.

Disia smiled and said: "Guard, 'please' our respected majesty to 'return to the room'."

He said this to be sarcastic, but the guards were all like elm heads, and they gathered around Jacintos like pugs when they heard the sound, nodding and bowing respectfully, almost forgetting that Dicia didn't wear a strict mask Get mad.

restraint.Disia clenched the handle of the knife at his waist, grinding his back molars to remind himself that small indifference can lead to big plans, and now that he has turned against Yacintos, the follow-up plan will not be easy to carry out.He is also planning to use the pile of democrat waste in the dungeon to create an "assassination".

Disia was thinking secretly in his heart, and Yacintos was also not idle.

You can't stay in the dungeon, but if you want to escape, Disia will probably look at the empty dungeon and get furious, and will soon track down Nina and his wife.Is there a way to save everyone?

The guards surrounded him and sent him back to the dungeon. Before stepping down the steps, Hyacinthus had some calculations in his mind.

After the guards closed the cell door and turned around to leave the dungeon, Hyacinthus motioned for Aka to get up, and he knocked on the iron railing: "Friends, I have received news from Nico. Get ready, I will see you off, and then Go to the Sea God Temple to find Nick."

He said it bluntly, and immediately blocked the words "we want to be together" from the over-enthusiastic people next door.

How about going to the Sea God Temple... They really can't help, so they can only ask unwillingly: "Are you still in touch with Poseidon?"

Jacintos smacked his lips: "Not much, but in the future... By the way, do you know anything about the temple dedicated to Poseidon? For example, which one has the most tribute?"

Although his small bag is full, he doesn't mind working hard and running a few more times.

·

There are slightly more offerings to the god of death than Hades, but there are few... No, no one can use the ghost pomegranate as a sacrifice.

Thanatos almost jumped up from behind the table when he felt a particularly familiar aura coming from the many sacrifices. Hypnos keenly noticed his abnormality: "What? Throw away the pens."

Thanatos sat there for a while, his expression gradually dejected: "You said, Hyacinthus suddenly sacrificed to me, and the sacrifice was a ghost pomegranate, what do you mean?"

The people present couldn't help raising their heads.

Not long after the painful experience passed, the creator of the psychological shadow reappeared in the conversation.

Some people started to panic, and some people started conspiracy theories: "Sacrificing the Pomegranate to you? Tsk, Thanatos, could it be that he finally remembered that he confiscated the godheads of you and Hypnos before, and now he is going to make up for it?" ?”

Thanatos was not even in the mood to mock Cupid, and sat behind the table and muttered: "Or a metaphor, after he returned to the human world, he made a comparison and felt that he was happier in the underworld, so he was willing to choose to eat the pomegranate and take office early. "

Mingta threw himself on the table and burst into tears: "Why? I thought I was going to relax just now!"

"..." Who is not? The people present fell silent.

Brothers are originally birds in the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.Hypnos shoved his elder brother: "Those who offer sacrifices to you, go."

Thanatos: "... Do you understand the truth of the dead lips and cold teeth?"

…………

The reason why the lips die and the teeth are cold, the teeth don't really want to understand, and they send the lips out without hesitation.

With a mourning mentality, Thanatos answered Hyacinthos' prayer with a face of a late mother: "Don't let go, don't put the pomegranate seeds on the altar. Many of the pomegranate seeds for you are no?"

Yacintos turned to stuffing back the pomegranate seeds placed on the crude altar: "I'm not afraid that you won't be able to receive it."

"..." Thanatos silently watched Yacintos finish the sacrifice, and in front of the gods, he stingily took back the sacrifices that had been sacrificed.

He took a deep breath and wiped his face: "May I ask, why are you praying for me to appear? ——What about this ugly altar?"

Yacintos glanced at the altar built of bricks, shrugged: "Don't be too picky, we just rescued a large group of people from fleeing, this is already the best condition we can find at hand."

"...Why hasn't this statue been made yet?" Thanatos couldn't help staring at the small palm-sized statue on the altar, "You—you didn't make it by digging mud from the side of the road temporarily, did you? !"

He's going to jump!Death also has dignity!

Jacintos smacked his lips: "This is not bad. At least you have a style, don't you?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing when he recalled how he fooled the God of West Wind a few years ago: "The first god statue I made, even a ghost couldn't tell what it was made of."

Thanatos looked very curious, and Yacintos simply took the wet clay statue and reproduced the "masterpiece" of that time for Thanatos, and incidentally hit Aka with his elbow: " Can you guess who this is?"

"..." Thanatos said sincerely, "Excuse me, did you make some kind of excrement?"

Aka's expression seemed to agree.

Hyacinthos almost didn't laugh out loud: "Is it, isn't it ugly? So I smashed Zephyrus after fooling around."

He stretched out his hand and poked the crooked, paralyzed lump of mud in his palm: "I squeezed this is the God of Chaos, Chaos."

"..." Thanatos opened his mouth as if he wanted to drop his jaw to the ground, and Aka's performance was relatively flat in comparison.

At most, he changed his stance in surprise, and then stared at the ugly statue with a complicated expression. After a while, he still didn't forget to praise Jacintos blindly: "It's very vivid."

"Image?!" Thanatos suddenly raised his voice, pointed at the ghost thing in the palm of Jacintos, wanted to speak but couldn't form a suitable language, after a long while of confusion, he finally vented his strength, "Forget it Then my idol is really good-looking."

It's better than a lump...that's better than that.

Jacintos casually put the "Statue of Chaos" back on the altar, and rubbed his hands carelessly to wipe off the dirt on his hands: "So you don't mind helping?"

"Let's talk about what to do first," Thanatos cheered up. "I can't help people who ask me to save lives. I can't help people who ask me to take lives."

Thanatos was afraid that Jacintos would be unhappy, and added an explanation: "People's lifespan is predetermined, and fate has arranged life and death for them long ago."

"Including those creatures who died because of the intervention of the gods, they 'die because of the intervention of the gods', which is also predestined by fate. And our duty in the underworld is to follow the trajectory of fate, after a person dies, kill his soul Take it back to the underworld."

Thanatos rubbed the bridge of his nose: "Then I would like to remind you that you can use the pomegranate as a sacrifice to summon me, but you must not give it to living beings to eat it. The mutation of Cupid's dog was in the underworld before, and the damage it caused was not bad. It is controllable. This is the human world, once someone mutates because of the Pomegranate, and the purified power of the underworld escapes, it is very likely to cause a plague."

"It has nothing to do with these." Jacintos had expected Thanatos to say that, so he didn't mention asking him to help save people.

He waved his hand casually, "I have two things I would like to ask for your help. One is, can you introduce me to Poseidon? It is best to enter the Sea God Temple. Also, have you seen the mansion under the hill? The one wrapped in the power of Poseidon. You go in and destroy the dungeon inside."

Yacintos thought for a while, and added: "There are no living things in the dungeon. You should make it wilder, so that people can see that it is not something human can do."

In this way, when Disia saw the traces in the dungeon, he would mistakenly think that some god secretly helped them escape, and would not suspect Nina and his wife.

"..." Thanatos opened his mouth blankly, looked at Hyacinthos for a while, and almost overjoyed his face when he realized it, "Really! Cough, the dungeon is fine. I recommend it to Bo Seidon? Are you sure? Why?"

He pretended to be calm and asked a series of questions, but felt that this pretense was a little too much. What if Hyacinthus changed the subject and said "Or go to the underworld" instead?

Thanatos quickly changed his words: "No, no, no need to answer, why is not important. Of course!"

Thanatos literally wrote "I wish for it" and "Go away, hot potato" on his face, and Hyacintos laughed at it: "There is one more thing."

"Go ahead." Thanatos clasped his hands reverently.

As long as he doesn't come to the underworld, it's easy for Jacintos to go to the ends of the earth, to pick the stars and the moon!

Hyacinthus glanced at Aka next to him, and was amused for a moment by the way the other party was staring at the ugly guy on the altar, then coughed and looked away: "I remember, long ago, Poseidon once had a relationship with Athena There was a battle for the city of Athens. The final result was that Athena won, and Athens took its current name."

"Poseidon is going to take back the faith of Athens, and use Athens as a springboard to compete for the faith of the whole of Greece. Athena should not know about this? I hope you can tell her."

When Hyacintos told Thanatos about this, he expected that the god of death might look serious, but after hearing his words, Thanatos turned his head: "Who? Poseidon? Get ready Compete for the faith of all Greece?"

The god of death couldn't help but raised his hand and scratched his head and muttered: "Weird things happen every year, especially this year. Poseidon suddenly has the energy to do big things again, tsk. I thought he would want to rely on the girl forever..."

Not counting that this has nothing to do with their underworld, Death rubbed his hands: "It's a trivial matter, I'll take care of it right away. You wait here, and I'll send a carriage to pick you up after I've settled with Poseidon later!"

What a good thing to celebrate with drums and gongs!Thanatos flapped his wings eagerly, as if a fire was lit behind his buttocks, and turned into a black shadow and rushed out.

It can be said that he has never flown so fast in his life, and he never thought that there would be such a day, when he saw Poseidon's face, what filled his heart was not disgust, but joy, and perhaps a little gratitude...

Poseidon was startled when the god of death approached the Sea God Temple. He himself was suspicious because of the two falls on the ground at the banquet. As soon as he sensed the breath of the underworld, he immediately grabbed the trident beside him and rolled up the vortex. In the blink of an eye, he walked out of the palace and stopped in front of Thanatos: "Stop! The sea area has no contact with your underworld recently, right? What's the business of Death coming to my Sea God Temple?"

Thanatos tried his best not to let the corners of his mouth grin too exaggeratedly, tightly tightening the facial muscles that might collapse at any time to reveal a smile: "Have you heard of the name of Hyacinthus?"

Afraid that his promotion was not strong enough, he emphasized his tone: "It is His Royal Highness who was once robbed of the treasure by Apollo and Artemis, the young king who fascinated the Goddess of Beauty and the Vulcan couple, and the one who made Hardy His Majesty Sparta will not hesitate to break the principle, but also force His Majesty Sparta to stay in the underworld!"

"...Ah, ah, yes. I have heard of it. Why?" Poseidon almost lost his grip on the trident with guilt.

After all, the story of Hyacinthus has already become a must-have topic of conversation among the gods, especially before Hyacinthus had a relationship with Hades.

When Poseidon was at the reception, he was bewitched by Hyacinthus's beauty, and he didn't realize who the other party was for a while, but when he returned to the Sea God Temple and calmed down, remembering the names the guests called Hyacinthus, he It just occurred to me that the corner of the wall I wanted to pry before actually belonged to Hades.

What is not the queen of the underworld, but actually the reserve adjutant... They are all men, if he believes Hades' cover-up, he will be a ghost!Maybe it was Hades' warning that he fell on the ground before!

Poseidon tried his best to maintain a calm face, pretending that he had never seen Hyacinthus at all: "What does this have to do with you coming to my Sea God Temple?"

Thanatos mobilized all his acting skills in his life, showing a hidden anger, and said to Poseidon unhappily: "He wants to see you and come to your Sea God Temple as a guest."

Poseidon almost fell all the way to the bottom of the water: what kind of good thing is this? !

Wait, it's not that Hades found out what I did at the reception and wanted to test me, right?

Poseidon straightened his face immediately, and said sanctimoniously: "No, I'm not familiar with him. Why do you want a human being, a future adjutant from the underworld, to enter my Sea God Temple?"

"..." Damn you, you usually lose your soul when you see a beautiful woman, but now you suddenly have a brain again, Thanatos held back his emotions, had an idea, and said in a sad tone, "That... the young king , When I visited the treasure house of His Majesty Hades in the underworld, I saw a gift from the Sea God Temple. There is a portrait of you in it. Ever since I saw it, Hyacinthus will never forget you... Otherwise, the underworld and the sea The relationship between them, why do you think I would come to the door in person and make such a request?"

Poseidon may have regained some of his brain because of what happened at the reception, but not much was recovered. After Thanatos said this, he couldn't continue acting, and even floated up excitedly: "Yes... …Yeah?"

"That's right." Thanatos finished, thinking about Apollo's warning at the beginning, decided to pass on the kind torch, and said kindly to Poseidon, "I hope you treat him well and don't mess with Yassin." Toss wept."

The author has something to say: Thanatos: I was speaking ironically.
