spartan ancestor

For a long time, the thread of fate has been a nightmare for those who know it.

It represents teasing, sarcasm, all the misfortunes in life, every midnight dream waking up wet with sweat, hatred or silent tears.

But this time, they saw hope in the golden light.

"Mother!" Athena discarded the reserved and dignified Goddess of Battle, and called out in surprise and shortly, hugging Metis, who looked up with a smile, into her arms, "I almost thought—forget it, nothing is more important than anything else."

"Yes, congratulations." Hermes came out from under the table resentfully.

He felt bad when the golden thread came, and he still didn't escape when he rolled under the table: "Does anyone care about me and Hestia? And Demeter? Our godhead is gone, what should we do now?"

No one paid any attention to him.Everyone gathered around the corpses of Zeus and Hera, pointing at the two weak and helpless souls floating out:

"It's ridiculous, they still have souls? I always feel that their hearts should be rotten. Gods like this don't deserve souls."

"Thinking about it from another angle, it's fair. There are so many victims who have died and been tortured at their hands. How can one die for atonement? That's too easy."

"Yes, what about Hermes? Send their dead souls to the underworld—oh."

At this point in the discussion, the gods paid attention to the existence of Hermes again, and turned their heads one after another.

Hermes looked sad, and just about to make a fool of himself, accusing everyone of not caring about him, his bad friend Apollo laughed, walked over with big strides, and clapped him on the shoulder happily: "Very good, very good. I've been waiting for this day."

"??" Before Hermes could express his shock, Aphrodite's eyes lit up, and she came over: "Oh, this is amazing. We, Yashin, have worked so hard in our two lives to get rid of you. Fate's restraint, shouldn't you also pay back?"

Mentioning this, everyone is excited again, especially those temples have experienced a round of robbers... No, the gods baptized by Yassin immediately began to make a list of thanks for Hermes.

Not only does it not hurt when the wool comes out of his body, but the more he squeezes, the happier he is. Artemis even said convincingly: "Can this kind of kindness be repaid with material things? Superficial! Hull should be like us, also You must help Yashin do hard work for a period of time from the bottom of your heart and with all your heart."

A true warrior is not afraid to tell his true purpose directly. The gods paused for a moment, recalling their past experiences, and nodded one after another: "Yes, that's right."

"It's from the bottom of your heart?" Jacintos felt it was funny, "Are you really saying that in your heart?"

He glanced at the shocked Hermes: "Besides, I don't have much use for Hull. To be honest, I actually hope that Demeter can do me a favor."

Demeter, who has been trying to shrink her sense of existence, is struck by lightning: "...Ah, ah?"

Hyacinthus laughed: "As early as when Artemis came to Sparta, I had this idea."

"Many times, the reason for wars is very simple. It is nothing more than insufficient resources and insufficient food. In order to support the population, we have to invade and expand."

"Of course, I don't rule out that there are leaders who start wars just to satisfy their ambitions, but increasing crop production is of great significance, whether it is to reduce wars or deal with aggression. More importantly, it can make the territory Every citizen on the planet is fed and clothed, and I think this last point alone is enough to make me yearn for the king of Sparta."

Yacinto paused for a moment: "So, I hope you can—"

"Go to Sparta to farm." Artemis gave Demeter a thumbs up, akimbo in the shocked eyes of the other party, "What's wrong, I even bred sows! You planted land What's wrong!"

It's nothing, it's nothing, Demeter thought about Chaos next to him, and his head drooped weakly.

Hyacinthus: "... that's about it."

Originally, he wanted to say "research on how to cultivate high-quality grain seeds", which sounded more high-end and elegant, but Artemis said so, if he insisted on the original rhetoric, it seemed a bit hypocritical.

The moonlight in the sky is like water.

The hills that have been quiet for a long time seem to give people a feeling of calm.

The rest of the gods, who had been hiding in fear after hearing the news of the battle of gods, gathered cautiously and poked their heads outside the garden, looking bewildered at the trembling souls of Zeus and Hera.

After experiencing death, the couple's arrogance and arrogance were completely gone, and the appearance of huddling together in panic was not at all like the god-king couple in the impression of the gods.

Hyacinthus glanced around and raised his hand: "I will not get involved in the internal affairs of Mount Olympus. You can deal with it as you like. I have to rush back to Elis, there are very important Things are waiting for me."

"Ah!" Hermes hurriedly took a step forward, "Our godheads! By the way, what are you going to do with the godheads of Zeus and Hera?"

In the encirclement, Zeus and Hera raised their heads suddenly, almost couldn't help blurting out the words, but were forced back by Athena's sword.

"Anyway, I will guarantee that I will not return to their hands." Yacintos shrugged and looked around, "Otherwise, you can run for election on your own? Will you take a step forward as the next God King?"

None of the gods present were ambitious, they either just wanted to be free or had no interest in power, they immediately took a step back when they heard the sound, they were the ones that Jacintos had placed high hopes on and had "focused on training" Artemis backed away in horror, wishing he could run back to the moon.

After being rescued, Metis, who couldn't move because of his weakness, had a slightly stiff smile on his face: "...?"

"Hello, Metis!" First a god spoke out, and then echoed immediately:

"Think about it carefully. When Zeus was in power, didn't Metis rely on his rule? So, Metis just went back to his old job."

"Besides, Metis has personally experienced the persecution of Zeus, so she must be able to learn from it. She also sacrificed herself to help us defeat Zeus. This person is very good!"

"Yes, as we all know, Metis is a fair goddess, full of benevolence, and I believe she will be able to rectify the atmosphere of Mount Olympus."

Metis: "Ah... wait..."

However, everyone has quickly moved on to the next topic: "What about Thunder and Marriage Godhead?"

Apollo slapped his thigh: "Don't we have a ready-made 'Zeus' that can be used? A 'Zeus' that will never appear biased. I think marriage gods can also be thrown into the 'Zeus' and stored. Who needs the protection of outsiders for a marriage? Whether to separate and reunite or to manage with heart, it should all be based on people's hearts."

"..." The gods were speechless for a while, and after a while, they felt that this method was really good.

Thunderbolt doesn't need any self-awareness in the first place, it should be born according to the weather, and throwing it into the lightning pillar can avoid human abuse, and it couldn't be safer.

The gods nodded one after another, said "okay" "that's it" and decided to leave a follow-up, no more concerned than deciding what to eat tonight.

The Zeus couple watched helplessly as their most precious authority was pushed back and forth: "You..."

Does no one have the heart to salivate?

No, only Metis was still trying to evade in a low voice: "I just want to spend more time with my daughter..."

"Athena can help in the Palace of the King of God," Artemis grinned, and quickly responded with the words learned from Hyacinthus, "Athena, right? You definitely want to spend more time with your mother, right? ?”

Athena: "...Ah..."

Why? ? ?How did this fire burn on her? ?

"You are so eloquent and quick thinking, wouldn't it be good for you to engage in this politics?" Athena's reaction was quite timely, and she was unwilling to fight back after a while. "I think you can be an adjutant with your abilities."

Artemis' face changed suddenly: "I can't - my brother can, you don't know, Apollo was trained by Yashin before me!"

"What?!" Apollo was shocked, "No... no! Actually, when it comes to conspiracy and calculation, Hermes, the god of deceit, is more handy, right?"

"??" Hermes was forced to wade into the muddy water, "I... If I really want to say something, if I say a hundred words, it may not be worth Aphrodite's light smile!"

Aphrodite: "????"

Yacintos looked at this group of juniors with caring eyes and said: "Look at your great... great great grandchildren."

"..." It was not the first time that Chaos felt ashamed because of these unworthy descendants. At this time, he lowered his head without changing his expression, and brushed the broken hair from Jacintos' temples behind his ears, "You just said that it is very important to go back. Something to do? Participate in the Olympics?"

"Half of it." Hyacinthus restrained his expression slightly, "I'm more thinking about the nobles of Athens."

Although the memory of the last life has not been fully recovered, but according to fate, even if he dare not show himself in front of Chaos, he still insists on making troubles and messing with his own behavior. Yacintos can basically judge that he may have really caught the fate The gate of life caused the other party to take risks to attack him while he was hiding.

After the Golden Tears fell just now, it can be said that the most powerful helper of Destiny is no longer under His control. If Destiny wants to do anything next, it is estimated that it can only take action in person.

That being the case, after being forced to do nothing, will fate appear in Elis to personally help those Athenian nobles who want to make trouble?

If it didn't appear... Then he might have to think about whether fate has made some unlucky plans in the dark, maybe he is now accumulating strength for the last stand.

To tell the truth, Hyacinthus hoped it was the former.

Rather than facing an enemy who was prepared, he certainly hoped to face an opponent who was forced to fight.

"Yeah." Chaos' fingertips caressed Hyacinth's cheek, "I'll take you back."

He didn't speak loudly, it was almost a whisper.

However, Hermes and Demeter, who were next to him, came around after a while. Hermes braced himself and said with a shy face: "Let's go together. Haha, I heard that Sparta is quite rich now, go to Erie There should be no shortage of food and lodging for us, right?"

Demeter also rubbed her hands, and Hestia's eyes fluttered, like a group of unscrupulous descendants who are cheeky and insist on gnawing on the old, and disturbing the love affair of the elders.

Chaos: "..."

·

Considering that fate might take the opportunity to make trouble, Hyacinthus sent a letter to his brother on the way back to Elis, briefly explaining Nico's suspicions, and asked when the fastest time would be to transfer troops from the city-state. able to reach Elis.

What happened on Mount Olympus may sound like a big deal, but in fact it took only two days. When Jacintos returned to Elis, the competition had not yet started, but this did not mean that there was plenty of time.

"Where have you been these two days?!"

Yacintos had just settled down with Hermes, and as soon as he returned to the player's residence, Nick came to the door: "I sent someone to check the list of players who signed up, and Argos is the most promising player to win the championship." They didn’t show up, and the registration form was full of players I hadn’t heard of.”

Nico was probably in a bit of a hurry, and he spoke as fast as a cannonball: "I immediately felt that something was wrong, so I asked someone to check on the situation of the Argos players. Guess what? These players are either as thin as bamboo poles, or He was so old that he couldn't complete a lap of the field, and all the states were disheartened as if they were sent to death-no wonder Argos' team didn't move into the player's residence after registration! Anyone who saw this state knew that there was definitely something wrong! "

He stomped on the spot a few times, and thumped the table bitterly: "Argos! This old evil neighbor of yours in Sparta can't sit still after all, and actually joins forces with that group of bereaved dogs to compete in the Olympic Games." Do something during this period?!"

Nico took a deep breath, restrained his emotions, and gradually regained his composure, but what he said was still a bombshell: "This is not the only problem. Do you remember what I told you about Arcadia when we met before? When passing by Arcadia, I felt the atmosphere was weird, and later sent an informant to the market in Arcadia to inquire, but he brought back a lot of old silver coins from Athens——after discovering the abnormality of Argos After that, I kept an eye on it. Last night, I came to the contestant's residence to see if you were back, so I went around to Arcadia's room..."

Good things don't come in pairs, and bad things don't come singly.

At that time, he just wanted to take a look at it, but found that the Arcadia player's room was dark and full of flames.

"I checked the window sill regardless of my image to make sure that none of the players who were still in the room during the day were in the room. When I went out, I asked the guards at the door of the residence, and they all said that no one had gone out. Everyone thought I was making a big deal out of a molehill. I'm afraid it's a quirk to hack people's windows..."

Nico wiped his face speechlessly and helplessly: "I took someone to investigate outside the window sill of the Arcadia player's room, and there were footprints of people jumping out of the window in every room. Only then did the guards feel that something was wrong." Maybe it's really wrong, I broke into the Arcadia player's room and checked, and all the valuables were taken away, obviously they ran away."

If nothing happened in the city-state of Arcadia, why would these players run away?

"I suspect—no, I'm sure that Arcadia must have been involved in this conspiracy, and that it was agreed to make a move during the tournament. These players knew that they didn't come to Elis to win the championship, but They are sent to die, and when the army of their own city-state besieges the city, those trapped in Elis will definitely be taken as hostages, so escape now."

Nico said with a wry smile.

Some people joked at the reception before, saying that Elis has now gathered important people from various city-states. If someone takes the opportunity to besiege the city, Greece may be in chaos for decades...

Jacintos also hissed lightly.

Departing from Sparta, if the Spartan army wants to reach Elis, it must pass through Arcadia, even by sea.

Nico was clearly aware of this too: "When I received the news, I immediately sent someone to contact the envoys of the other city-states, thinking about mobilizing troops from the nearest city-state. Guess what? The gate of Elis has been surrounded. Those The Arcadia and Argos were disguised as robbers and civilians outside the city. Now no one can leave the city, and people entering the city have to pass through the checkpoints guarded by them. From last night to now, the only people entering the city gate are Old and weak, women and children."

"..." Yacintos paused for a slight frown, and slowly raised his eyelashes.

Old and weak women and children?

Isn't it a coincidence, isn't it a coincidence?

Before going out, the elder brother was still talking about how to arrange for the female soldier to go to the battlefield for the first time——

Hyacinthus frowned, and after thinking about it, he turned his head to Chaos without humility and boasted cheekily: "You are right. It is really not luck that I have come to where I am today. Be prepared."

Chaos looked at Jacintos absent-mindedly, didn't listen to what the other party said at all, just hummed, and lowered his head to kiss Jacintos on the corner of the eye.

"...?????" Nick's eyes widened, "Hello?? I'm still here?? No, why are you guys still kissing while talking about such a serious thing??"
