spartan ancestor

I don't know if the sudden fire frightened Persephone, or even if she lost her memory, she still instinctively remembered the tricks of fate.

When Hyacinthus returned to the garden with the Codex, Persephone seemed very disturbed, and the maid could not comfort her until she saw Hyacinthus enter the door.

The maid looked at Persephone, who suddenly felt at ease, and was very unwilling: "Why do you trust me more than me—oh, forget it. Let's go back to the palace to rest, shall we?"

Persephone said coquettishly, "Then what if I have a nightmare? Can you and Sarah accompany me?"

The little girl held a face as white as glutinous rice cakes, as sweet as honey.Yacintos made some concessions: "I can send you back to the dormitory with Sarah, and it's fine if you stay behind. It's not good for the wind."

His words won the appreciative gaze of the maid, and on the way back to the bedroom, Sarah didn't find fault again.

Passing through the small garden, Persephone's bedroom was quite close, and it was hard to keep Hyacinths from guessing whether this was intentionally designed to make it easier to go back and forth to the garden.

They helped Persephone into the bedroom, and put her on the bed covered with curtains. Hyacinthus took a step back politely: "I have nothing to do here, let me first—hmm?"

Beside the bed, there was a piece of papyrus on the small floor-to-ceiling table, with "To Dear Hyacinthus" written on the front, it was hard to see even the maid standing on the other side of the bed.

Hyacinthus looked at the maid and the little girl who were whispering together, and raised his hand to pick up the letter:

[Three silent tributes for you.Getting this letter probably means that I have lost my memory, and you probably didn't resist my coquetry.

Don't make a face, it's okay, I've always been good at it.

But soft-hearted people should always get some encouragement to maintain this rare kindness.See the little black bottle next to it?Inside is the blood I prepared for you separately.

Considering that escaping from the underworld will definitely not be easy, severe injuries and unbearable pain may make you unable to hold your mind and cause your soul to collapse. This bottle of blood can stabilize your soul.

And, don't think that having this bottle of blood can make the other me lazy. The effect of this bottle of blood is only to stabilize the soul. The purpose of watering the flowers is to hide the breath. The two are completely different and cannot be replaced. put. 】

Hyacinthus: "..." Persephone was quite good at guessing people's thoughts, and she broke his first thought after seeing the blood bottle.

He picked up the blood bottle, the rough black pottery bottle was heavy.

Jacintos had an inexplicable urge to talk to someone, but none of the people present or present was suitable for listening to these contents, so after opening his mouth, he just continued what he hadn't finished speaking in a natural tone: " Then I'll take my leave."

When leaving the bedroom, Jacintos kept holding the black pottery bottle with his right hand. He looked in the direction of the study where the smoke was billowing, and grabbed the doorman who was trotting past him with the bucket in his arms: "I need various types, Supply plenty of spirits. The stronger the better, every day."

The doorman was stunned: "Wine? Every, every day? Are you... not a Spartan?"

Hyacinthus paused for a moment: "That's right. I'm doing what a Spartan should do."

For example, preparing for a fierce battle, such as keeping a promise to a person.

·

The palace needs spirits, of course they can be there whenever you want. During the period of exercising his drinking capacity, Yacintos did not forget to take the time to meet Wuming. Under Wuming's recommendation, he met the troubadour who had a strong drinking capacity.

"Is there any weakness? Hercules?" The Thracian knight shook his head, "If you went to the tavern, why would you do something that would offend Hercules? I warn you , Don’t mess around. To enter the tavern, not only do you need to pass the admission ceremony, but you also need a guarantor. Wuming begged me for a long time, and even threatened me with the qualifications of a group member. "

To be honest, Yacintos is not very sure: "If that step is really reached, the Elysee Palace will be responsible for compensating you."

"The palace?" The Thracian knight showed an interested expression, "So, the rumors are true? You hooked up with our queen, and now you go to the palace as a guest every day?"

Hyacinthus really didn't know how the dead man's mouth could be so broken. It's only been a few days: "No. This is not the point of our conversation, and it is not the reason why I promised to pay off your gambling debt. Back to the topic, Hercule Is there any shortcoming that I can take a shortcut? For example, alcohol addiction? Gambling addiction?"

Helping to pay off debts is the boss, and the Thracian knight raised his hand in surrender: "Although Hercules drinks and gambles, he is absolutely not addicted. If there is any weakness... probably Chiron? You know, then A famous Centaur Chiron who has taught many heroes."

He scratched his face: "I don't know the specific reason. It stands to reason that Chiron should have been promoted to the Sagittarius in the sky by Zeus...but now this great sage is in the tavern of Hercules. If you really want to Find a shortcut, or try to get online with Chiron?"

"..." Yacintos was silent for a moment.

According to Persephone, she had talked to Chiron before, but she still didn't get the golden arrow.

It seems that starting from the centaur will not work, he still has to find another plan.

The Thracian knight chattered: "But now Chiron rarely shows up in the room. If you want to make a connection, you may not be able to find him!"

"Maybe decades ago? Occasionally you can see him going out. But his complexion is very bad. Hercules seems to not want Chiron to leave the room, every time he sees him, whether it is at the wine table or the gambling table Go, I will definitely leave immediately, go to the wine cabinet to get a pile of wine, take Chiron back to the room, and then not come out for a long time."

The Thracian knight lowered his voice: "At first we thought...well, there was something unspeakable between them. But when Hercules came out and looked at his face, he was both a man. Sure that's not the case."

"Hercules' expression is always very sad, kind of... How should I put it? Before my mother was seriously ill and was about to pass away, everyone in the family had this expression."

"I thought, maybe Chiron had some kind of injury before going into the underworld? Maybe... not so good. Maybe the wine was prepared for Chiron, you know when my mother was dying, my father would occasionally feed her some wine , to numb her nerves and make her less painful."

Hyacinthos didn't think he had the ability to heal Chiron, so the Thracian knight's words only passed through his mind for a while, and then was temporarily put on hold.

He was thinking about a new plan, but he didn't stop the Thracian knight next to him from continuing to chatter.The chatty knight continued to sigh with emotion: "Thinking about it carefully, Chiron's fate is also quite miserable."

"How brilliant was he once? The name of the almighty great sage spread throughout Greece! Almost all the heroes started from him. In the end? What happened to him? He was shot by the golden arrow of his apprentice, because the nine The venomous head snake was so painful that it couldn't bear it, so he asked to be tortured instead of Prometheus, and died after being pecked at his internal organs by the eagle. He finally rose to the seat of Sagittarius, but now he is reduced to the underworld..."

The Thracian knight paused while talking, and couldn't help but move his butt back: "You, why are you looking at me like this?"

"What did you just... say?" Jacintos said slowly, chewing the words of the Thracian knight several times in his heart.

A tragic, absurd fate.

A bleak great sage.

Hyacinthus suddenly thought of how to break through Hercules' defense.

…………

I don't know if fate deliberately played tricks, but when Hyacinthus asked Persephone to try to extend an invitation to Hercules, the Hercules happened to leave the tavern with his teacher Chiron.

Jacintos waited for more than half a year before expecting the return of the master and apprentice.When Persephone was urged to send an invitation letter, Hercules directly replied that he was in a bad mood and refused to go out, so going through the admission ceremony became the only way to contact this Hercules again.

This somewhat disrupted Hyacinthus' plan. When he received Hercules' reply, he still thought about telling the story of fate directly in the letter to Hercules, but thinking about the tragedy in the study, he Still no action.

After all, no one can guarantee that half of the letter will be delivered, and the sender will spontaneously combust. Yacintos can only press his mind and practice his drinking capacity honestly.

In fact, objectively speaking, this is not a bad thing.After all, no matter what kind of war, the more time to prepare before the war, the better.

During the period of training for drinking, Yacintos just used the name of the palace to directly invite the guards at some key points on the escape route to the Elysee Palace to practice against him.

I don’t know if it’s because of this, the news that “the crown prince of Sparta became the guest of the Queen of the Underworld” was widely circulated in Elyser, and not long after, Hyacinthus unexpectedly saw his mother on the lawn outside the palace. figure.

Hyacinthus chose to look over the wall.

Before taking on more responsibility, those who have no face and failed to promise their mothers have become secondary, and must be secondary.

What he was going to do was too dangerous, Jacintos only hoped to minimize the contact with his mother, and if he failed, it would not harm Chi Yu.

Time is fleeting.

Dozens of winters had passed before Hyacinthus was sure that he could drink the wine for the admission ceremony and beat the entire palace guards.

Although time becomes meaningless after a person dies, but the hope that Persephone will not recover her memory every winter still makes Hyacinths feel that these decades have become longer than usual.

Perhaps it was because of the long preparation time that the admission ceremony was so short. Hyacinthos had almost no sense of realism, and was dragged into the secret tavern by the Thracian knights under the cheers of a group of drunkards. .

"..." After sitting down at the table, Jacintos was almost in a daze for a while, and subconsciously looked back at the door, "Just passed?"

"It's not just passing? In recent decades, the admission ceremony of taverns has become more stringent. I may not be able to last a round of those wines, but you drink them like water." The Thracian knight sighed With admiration, he raised his hand exaggeratedly and made a gesture, "The arrow hit the target with a 'swish', so fast that I didn't even realize it! Didn't you see those old drunks at the door cheering for you?"

Hyacinthus had no interest in pleasing these drunkards, but the Thracian knight continued: "Didn't you say you want to see Hercules? I'm sure such a record is enough for these old drunkards to beat Hercules Come out of the room. You know, since he took Chiron out of the tavern decades ago, and since he came back, he rarely went out of the room to show his face. The tavern is run by servants."

Hyacinthus turned his head and glanced at the Thracian knight for this passage, and then turned his head, and he saw the group of old drunks who were so excited that they wanted to jump on the roof rushing upstairs. After a moment of noise, a A man of strong stature walked down the corner stairs surrounded by crowds.

Hercules looked very tired, even haggard, with dark circles under his disheveled hair that could not be concealed. When his eyes swept over, although the corners of his mouth were drawn, Hyacinthus could still see his reluctance: "Who is the Son of Glory today? Let me see if you are really as powerful as these old things boast."

His eyes swept around the tavern, and when he saw Yacintos Shi Shiran stand up, he was still a little bit stunned, and he opened his eyes slightly as if he realized it after a few seconds, and stared suspiciously at Yassin Toss's clothes and the top of his head took a few quick glances: "You?"

Hyacinthus looked down at his maybe, maybe, a bit girly clothes, took off the flower crown on his head, and shrugged helplessly: "I'm sorry, you just take it as a side effect of raising a daughter."

Persephone, who had lost her memory, was too lively and occasionally missed a slap. Jacintos could only comfort herself with "the right to raise a daughter", so as not to do the atrocities of "surprise! The little boy slapped the gold master's ass angrily".

Just like the suit on his body, Persephone made it and wanted to put it on Hades, His Majesty Pluto immediately went on official business for half a month after hearing the news, so this suit plus the flower crown finally fell to Jacintos Home.

Hercules seemed to want to comment on something, but Hyacinthus said before him: "Let's talk alone? This troublesome admission ceremony has delayed me for a long time."

"..." The little smile on Hercules' face slowly subsided, "I don't like this tone very much, it reminds me of my previous experience on Mount Olympus. Generally, this kind of tone is not good. Get ready to drink."

Hyacinthus took a step diagonally, blocking Hercules's stride towards the wine cabinet: "Believe me, you hope that you are awake and listening to the next words."

"..." Hercules stared at the wine cabinet, with a bit of impatience and hostility in his expression, "Give me a reason not to let you go out immediately."

Hyacinthus is kind: "Have you ever had some really bad moments in your life where you felt like something was watching you?"

Hyacinthus asked this question, originally intending to bring out the latter sentence: "Please tell Chiron this question, if he says no, just pretend I didn't ask."

However, before the next sentence could be said, Hercules suddenly raised his head. After a while, his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly turned to stare at Hyacinthus: "..."

His dry lips moved a bit: "Follow me into the wine cellar."

…………

Hercules' reaction was beyond Hyacinth's expectations.

When following Hercules to the wine cellar, Hyacinthus was still pondering whether the other party reacted so strongly, did he hear Chiron mention it, or did Heracles himself experience the same experience?

Hercules’ method of storing wine was different from that used by ordinary people. Generally, the wine cellar that Hyacinthus saw was basically the same as a barn. He just chose a shady place to build a warehouse, and buried the wine in a large jar. underground.However, Hercules dug out an independent room directly in the ground. There were ice blocks on the ground, and the whole room was terribly cold.

Of course, the effect of this method of storing wine is better, but it is only used by gods like Hercules. After all, human beings cannot get ice cubes anytime, anywhere all year round.

Hercules touched the wall of the wine cellar, and lit up the night pearl that he did not know from which sea area: "What do you mean by what you said before? You have met it before?"

Hyacinth raised her eyebrows at Hercules' words: "I don't have one, but I promise there are people who will help her."

"Persephone?" Hercules once again surprised Hyacinthus, "I'm not completely isolated from the outside world. Besides, the drunkards in the tavern like to take one or two topics as the food and drink over and over again."

Hyacinthus wisely didn't ask the nonsense of "what's the topic", just continued: "Another friend of mine had it too. He was a...well, he was a mix of people, wolves, vampire bats, gods Four bloodlines."

"Oh," Hercules was not surprised, "then he is either full of evil, or he is living in pain. But since this is the shrine of Elysee... then he is probably the latter."

"..." Jacinto paused for a moment, "He told me that since he was young, he wanted to end his life and get rid of this pain, but he never had the courage to do it to himself. During the period, he tried to find a difference Many people killed him, but all failed, and finally he chose to hang himself, that is, at that moment he felt that someone was watching him."

Originally, Hyacinthus wanted to explain the malice contained in the gaze of fate, but Hercules rolled his lips mockingly: "Look at him, this monster finally took his own life? Finally exterminated the evil for the people." 'Became a hero once?"

Hercules' tone was sad and cold, but the sarcasm was not aimed at Wuming: "If you had told me this a few years ago, I would have told you to drink less wine and drink less alcohol. Listen to the story. But..."

The words of Hyacinthus obviously hit a pain point in Hercules, he put his hands together, with a hint of pain: "Since you are from Persephone, you must know dozens of I took the risk of taking the teacher out of the underworld a few years ago, so I rejected the invitation from the palace."

"Zeus has been paying attention to my movements for...for some reason. At that time, I finally found someone who had the healing ability and was willing to help out among the many gods. I took the teacher to see the God of Medicine Asker. Lepius hoped that he could help the teacher relieve the pain and stabilize the remnant soul, but after reading it, Asclepius told me that he tried many methods that should have been effective, but nothing could be done, the only thing he could do , only to temporarily cut off the teacher's pain."

In fact, Asclepius put it more cruelly.

The God of Medicine looked at Chiron's remnant soul, his expression was almost pity, and after offering the option of cutting off the pain, he couldn't hold back and said, "Have you considered letting him go with dignity?"

No one can imagine what Hercules was feeling at that time.

Chiron was suffering from the golden arrow he shot by mistake. He could not bear it and would rather replace Prometheus and give up eternal life to gain relief.

This kind of pain was obviously relieved because Zeus ascended to the sky to become Sagittarius after his death, but because he was unwilling to hand over the golden arrow to Zeus, Chiron was knocked down by Zeus to the underworld and made a comeback.

Losing the divine blessing of Sagittarius, Chiron, who had given up immortality before his death, was no different from a fragile human soul. Under the pain, his mind lost control. Even with the full care of Hercules, his soul still collapsed, leaving only a few wisps A remnant soul that has lost its will and the ability to think.

Many times, Hercules wanted to simply surrender to Zeus, but the only thing Chiron told him before his spirit collapsed was to let him persist, not to hand over the golden arrow because of himself, Zeus has mastered the ability to defeat Hades, no one can Dare to imagine what stupid and licentious things the other party would do with his character.

"Don't let me die in disgrace," Chiron said.

But Hercules looked at the stupid remnant beside the bed, and couldn't tell where the teacher's reputation would be.

After the soul collapsed, Chiron no longer had the ability to leave the room voluntarily, and the afterimages became fainter with time.

Several times, when Hercules used spirits to relieve the pain of the remnant soul, he felt that the other party was so weak that he would collapse completely in a second, but at the end of the chaos, the remnant soul still held its last breath.

At times like this, Hercules would always look at the remnant soul sitting blankly by the bed and think, this is simply a joke of fate. It would be better to let a great sage who was once almost omniscient and omnipotent live with a face full of ignorance. Give the teacher a happy time.

But he couldn't do it.

After so many years, he is no longer the boy who used to rely on his blood to do heroic deeds. He has learned to be cowardly, and has become selfish that makes himself shameful. He always thinks that it is not bad to live like this, in case , What if there is any miracle or hope someday?

Maybe he can make up for his mistakes?

Hercules' hands were trembling slightly due to emotions or long-term alcoholism: "I just felt that gaze after... Asclepius gave me the choice."

It's hard to describe that feeling, like a black hand who has been lurking in the dark, unable to hold back the desire to look around when he knows that his ultimate goal is about to be achieved, or like the audience in the audience is about to see the climax of the drama, holding back Can't help but get up and urge excitedly.

The malicious excitement contained in that gaze made him shudder, and he saw the situation in front of him almost instantly: either to make himself feel at ease, let the teacher live foolishly, or make a painful decision to end Chiron's life life.

Hercules took a deep breath and said calmly: "Its malice is so obvious, I can almost clearly feel the direction it wants to push me in."

Killing a teacher is a bloody ending, but it can definitely satisfy the evil taste of some people with twisted hearts.

Hercules looked at Hyacinthus: "You talk to me about this, what do you want. Golden Arrow? Do you know who that person is? Tell me, let me go. I am also a demigod anyway, I am better than you A person... kind of..."

The tingling sensation spread all the way up the spine, and Jacintos stepped forward to support Hercules who was sliding down, and clicked his mouth: "Forget it. You will do whatever you can without me, and you will be ready without me. After bringing Chiron back all these years, have you touched bows and arrows besides alcohol?"

Hyacinthus nimbly snatched the knife from Hercules: "Your hands are shaking, it's a question of whether you can pass the admission ceremony now."

Hercules was a little tongue-tied because of the effect of the anesthetic. He glared at Hyacinthus for a while, and then gradually softened his attitude: "Mud...prepare, the sparrow is more than the nest. This medicine...is strong enough. But four—— "

"No, but," Yacintos rolled his eyes, "Don't talk about giving you time for retraining, think about your teacher, that damn admission ceremony has already delayed me a lot of time, and you still want to make another accident?" What branch?"

Ever since he brought his teacher back to the underworld, Heracles, who has been shutting himself out and refusing to see people, and rejected several invitations to the palace, slowly lost his confidence. After a while, he justified: "Mud...you can say in the letter thing."

"If I could—" Hyacinthus took a deep breath, swearing such dirty words for the first time in his life, "Just one more word of nonsense, and I can send you to the stables to eat shit."
