spartan ancestor

Hyacinthos knew nothing about the alliance of cheaters established by the Luna siblings.

Pal hurried forward, leading the way: "Here! The oracle is trapped in this room."

The two soldiers stepped forward and were about to smash open the heavy door with all their strength. A-Ka rolled his eyelids and lifted his long legs neatly.

"Oh!"

The door slammed down.

Hyacinthus followed Paal into the room.

The room was not big, and an old woman with a peaceful face was leaning against the bed, and was helped up by Paar. She raised her head while coughing, her eyes fell on Jacintos' face, and she was slightly stunned: "..."

She was one of the rare Gentiles who saw the face of Hyacinthus, but did not fall into obsession.

After only a pause, the oracle patted Paar's hand away, tried to stand up straight, and walked to Jacinthos with the fastest pace he could: "You must be His Majesty Jacinthus. As Apo Luo's oracle, I have to clarify one thing - the sun god has always been pleased with you, this feeling even surpassed love, he is willing to abandon the desire of the flesh in order to maintain the purity and eternity of this relationship , as your eternal friend, even if you return to the underworld after death, this friendship will remain. I did not say that oracle, and it is absolutely impossible for His Royal Highness Apollo to say it."

"...???" At the door, the soldiers guarding vigilantly were shocked.

What the hell?Did they hear it wrong, or saved the wrong person, is this really the oracle of Delphi?

A bunch of confusing words rolled through the minds of the soldiers, so, so...the sun god loves their majesty so much that he is willing to be eternal friends in order to protect this relationship? ?

The oracle's words spread among the army in the blink of an eye, and the soldier at the end of the army stomped and sent a message to his companions: "What are you doing? Fighting a war! What nonsense are you talking about?"

The companion swears pointingly: "I promise I haven't changed a single word!"

Soldier:"……"

Shocked his whole family!

Hyacinthus also: "..."

What did Apollo tell the oracle?No, why did he talk to the oracle about this kind of thing?

It's poisonous, everyone thinks that what the oracle lingers in his ears is the prophecy of God, who knows that it is actually God's emotional dynamics?

After all, the oracle has been on a hunger strike for a long time. Even with the blessing of the gods, it is still a bit reluctant to say such a long string. After panting for a while, he continued: "The oracle is another god in the name of His Royal Highness Apollo. I said it. I didn’t agree, so He appointed the high priest. Before leaving, He gave the high priest a token to be able to contact him, go and stop the high priest! Don’t give him a chance to contact that god!”

Yacintos: "...Shouldn't you say this at the beginning??"

He didn't have time to be speechless, he turned his feet and was about to speak.

Above the atrium, a ray of moonlight poured down from the horizon.The silver glow changed from soft to blazing, dazzlingly bright, like a polished blade.

The soldiers outside the temple raised their heads in shock. Having experienced Apollo's divine wrath for Heilos before, they immediately guessed the god who made the movement: "Moon God! It's Moon God Artemis!"

The goddess of the moon and hunting appeared from the silver light, showing a tall and vigorous figure. Before anyone could react, she turned into a silver light, pierced the night, and rushed towards the apse of the temple.

Hyacinthos had just had time to feel bad, and the goddess had already flew in front of him.

After meeting, Artemis was only stunned for a moment, and his heroic face was covered with anger again. He stretched out his right hand, grabbed Hyacinthus by the collar, and dragged him through the roof of Delphi Temple.

Hyacinthus felt his right arm sink at the same time as his feet were off the ground. He raised his hand to protect his head and looked down. It was actually Aka who grabbed his wrist in the blink of an eye. They flew up together.

The human being in his hand seemed to be heavier than expected. Artemis flew up the mountain along the road, and then looked down, and saw a particularly dazzling white figure in the dark night: "Human! Let go of your hand, there is no you here!" thing!"

"Then should you stop first?" Jacintos tensed his arms, and pulled up Aka, who almost hit the ground because Artemis was flying too low, and motioned the other party to hug his waist instead. "Humans are not as thick-skinned as gods."

Artemis was choked up, and seeing Hyacinthus pull Aka's arm around his waist, the anger that had been accumulated for a long time finally broke out, and he raised his arms and threw the two dogs and men under him to the ground : "God is thick-skinned? I think it's your thick-skinned and thick-skinned! How dare you flirt with another human man after rejecting my brother? Why, this man is better than my brother—Olympus Is the sun god Apollo, one of the twelve main gods, better!"

She scolded heartily in the sky, but in fact, Yacintos didn't pay attention to what the other party was yelling at all.

In the weightlessness brought about by the fall, he hurriedly looked down——

This is the open-air theater at Delphi.Layers of stone steps form a semi-arc, all the way down to surround the central stage.

If it falls down, it is estimated that it will roll all the way to the bottom, and people will lose their arms and legs if they don't die.

In less than a few seconds, he didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively stretched out his hand to protect the person, but just as he stretched out half of his arm, he felt a lightness around his waist.

Aka lifted the arm that was originally wrapped around his waist, and firmly pressed his back.

The straight legs clamped his, and in mid-air, without knowing how hard the other party was, they reversed their up and down positions at once, with their backs down, and the one who slammed into the stone steps was Aka.

After the impact, it rolled all the way down.

While the world was spinning, Jacintos could only occasionally feel the steps tickling his calf, causing a slight pain. For the rest of the time, he was tightly wrapped in Aka's arms.

The other party spread out a hand to block the back of his head. Even if he pressed A-Ka's chest and wanted to switch the identities of the protector and the protected in this tumbling, in addition to confirming that the other party's chest muscles were strong and swollen, and the hand feeling was excellent, Couldn't open the slightest gap.

From the beginning to the end, A-Ka didn't make any sound, not even a muffled grunt.

Hyacinthus' head was forced to rest on Aka's chest, and he could only hear the strong and powerful heartbeat of the other party, passing through the thin skin to the eardrum. I don't know if it gradually accelerated because of enduring the pain.

Artemis' question seemed to come from far away, intermittently with the sound of wind and knocking caused by the tumbling: "...it is very active, actually flirting with a man face to face under my nose, thanks to Apo Luo still has deep roots in love for you, is that how you trample on the favor bestowed by the gods?"

The time seems long because of the hardship.

Yacintos didn't know how long it took before the tumbling finally stopped.A-Ka's back collided with the wooden stage base, and there was a dull "boom", and then the two arms that were firmly protecting him were released immediately, and the strong long legs were also withdrawn from his side. Walk.

"Are you injured?" Yacintos immediately propped himself up on the ground and searched A-Ka's body. He didn't see any bloodstains or twisted arcs.

"..." A-Ka didn't speak, but lowered his eyelids indifferently, sat up with his right arm, stepped back, and widened the distance between the two.

Yacintos had an illusion that if the opponent's back was not leaning against the stage, Aka might wish to squeeze into the stage.

It seems to be all right, Hyacinthus turned his head speechlessly and amusingly, while looking at Artemis, he thought to himself, what kind of scourge am I?

In mid-air, Artemis was so angry that his neutral voice shrieked slightly: "You——you despicable human! I will send you to see Charon tonight!"

As the goddess of hunting, Artemis is proficient in archery. In a rage, she drew the bow and arrow behind her backhand, pulled the longbow with her muscular arms, and aimed the iron arrow at Aka's heart.

Enough, she thought, originally I planned to give this Hyacinthus a chance to beg for mercy, repent of his mistakes, and swear that he would either be loyal to Apollo or never hang around in front of Apollo again, but look at how arrogant this man is !

Not only did he not care about ruining Apollo's will and asking the gods, but he only cared about his concubine.Even if these two people go to the underworld, they should linger in the place of torture and torture, accepting the punishment of disrespect to the gods!

The iron arrow carried the power of hunting, tearing through the air and making a sharp whistling sound.

"You look at her in a daze!" Yacintos grabbed Aka, who was still motionless, and dragged him to the side. At the same time, he took the bow with his backhand without thinking, and the long arrow hit the bowstring.

It's not that he's stupid enough to think he can shoot a god, it's the fighting instinct that drives him to attack.

Numerous times of training have allowed him to form a muscular instinct. When he is at an absolute disadvantage, if he wants to create a chance to break through the predicament, he must fight back with all his might.

The iron arrow almost passed Aka, and Hyacinthus' hand holding the bow became more stable because of the rising anger. Even though the night was dark at this time, Artemis was far away from him, and the hand feeling left by training won't go away.

He tensed his shoulders, put his fingertips on the string, and the arrow shot out instantly——

"Om-"

Jacintos opened his eyes slightly, and saw that the iron arrow, which was originally ordinary, was wrapped in golden light at some point, and the feathers flitted in the air, as if faintly sparking.

The chilly spring day and night wind passed over his face, bringing a slight chill of dampness.

Hyacinthus raised his hand to touch his cheek, touching the trail of tears.

— When did he cry?Did the arrow become like that because it was stained with golden tears?

A few questions flashed through Hyacinthus' mind, and he paused when he was about to take the arrow feathers again, staring at the arrow shrouded in golden light and shooting towards Artemis.

The golden light illuminated the astonished look on Luna's face, and the arrow pierced through the opponent's shoulder before Luna hurriedly dodged away.

Artemis uttered a cry of pain, with an expression of disbelief still remaining on his face, he was carried by the unabated arrows and nailed to the ground.

Jacintos held the bow tightly in his left hand, raised his upper body to look at the fallen Artemis, and then turned around and pushed Aka: "Why were you in a daze just now?"

One of the reasons why he felt so relieved about A-Ka was the sharp and tyrannical combat skills of the opponent. Because of this, the motionlessness just now seemed extraordinarily strange.

A-Ka frowned, but didn't look at him. Instead, he looked over his shoulder and looked in the direction where Artemis fell.

"?" Yacintos thought that the moon god had broken free from the golden arrow, and turned his head to look, "It's not that he didn't get up, I guess the strength of those tears is quite strong. What did you just do to stay still? Where? Injured and unable to move?"

Aka avoided Jacintos' outstretched hand and stood up: "It's okay."

"..." Yacintos looked at A-Ka's expression again, and paused for a moment on the other's furrowed brow, "Your expression doesn't seem to be all right."

Following Aka's eyes, he looked at Luna You who was struggling desperately again: "? You don't feel sorry for her, do you?"

Aka's tense expression changed instantly.

This may be the first time Jacintos saw such an obvious expression on A-Ka's face. A-Ka turned his head sharply, his face was full of astonishment, and he stared at him for a while with his eyes wide open. Many emotions flashed in the eyes, complicated and difficult to distinguish, and the lips moved a few times before uttering a sentence: "No!"

It is difficult to explain the emotions contained in this "no", and Jacintos tried his best to distinguish them. There may be consternation, disgust, displeasure, and more deeper emotions.

The Luna, who was already struggling, paused, and then became even more frantic: "Let me go!"

Jacintos could easily hear the emotions in this sentence of Artemis, there was the anger of being shot by a human, the embarrassment of being disgusted by A-Ka, and more of it was fear.

The golden light on the iron arrow was like thousands of tentacles, a few strands branched out from the arrow shaft, climbed to Artemis' chest, and then plunged into the chest cavity without mercy.

Artemis, like a fish nailed to a chopping board, arched her body again and screamed in pain.

She was covered in cold sweat, only felt that her heart seemed to be strangled by countless thin and tough fishing lines, the godhead was dragged out of her body in severe pain, and something closely connected with the soul also followed the godhead. and was pulled out, so that her thoughts went blank for a moment.

When she came back to her senses again, those golden threads had been wrapped into a ball, firmly imprisoning the dying thing inside, and floated into the chest of the young king opposite, while the divine power in her body was gone.

"..." Artemis' mind went blank again for a moment.

Then all sorts of terrifying speculations suddenly emerged, such as she lost her godhead, and now she is no different from a human woman, how will the enemy treat her?

As a young goddess who witnessed the obscenity of Mount Olympus and petitioned Zeus to become a virgin, Artemis couldn't help but think of a terrible possibility. The sharp pain from everywhere pierced her, and tears filled her eyes.

How could this be?

Isn't this Hyacinthus human?Why do the tears that flow have such power?

How could he take away her godhead?

——Why did Apollo not say a word to her, but before watching her leave, he told her to make Hyacinthus cry?

For a moment, Artemis was so desperate that she wanted to give up all resistance, but when Hyacinths approached, she still stubbornly raised her chin, holding back the pain and weakness in her mouth.

Hyacinthos just wanted to pull out the arrow, lest the restless goddess die from blood loss. Just a few steps closer, there was a sudden noise from the foot of the mountain.

The Delphi Theater where they are located is located on a high place. Looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Delphi Temple and the Acropolis.

The conflict occurred in the direction of the Delphi Chamber. In order to prevent Phocis from sending soldiers, Hyacinthus ordered the Spartan army to separate a group and control the members who were still working in the Chamber. Now discuss the matter Judging from the swaying flames in the direction of the hall, it is estimated that the councilors inside couldn't hold back and were ready to break in without fear of life and death.

The Spartan army just wanted to control the high-level city-states, not to hurt them. The reckless attack of these councilors really caused them a lot of trouble.

Seeing that one side was about to suffer casualties, Hyacinthus paused, and according to his previous experience in manipulating the Godhead of Apollo, he summoned the moonlight from the sky to envelop the three of them, and took Akka and Artemis into the sky.

He swept across the temple without stopping, and in just a moment, he captured the oracle in the temple, Paal, and the high priest who was hiding in the room trying to burn the letter, and then arrested the oracle, Paal, and the high priest. The priests were thrown into the encirclement of the chamber one by one.

The first two were fine, they were lifted by the moonlight and placed on the ground. The high priest did not treat them so tenderly. Holding the letters in his arms, he fell to the ground in front of the councilors. Those unburned The completed letters were scattered all over the place.

"Oracle?"

"The High Priest!"

"Pal?"

The senators are obviously very familiar with the priests in the temple, but at this moment, even if the respected oracle appeared in front of them, it only briefly distracted their attention, and soon, their eyes Just throw it again at the silvery hazy light cluster in the midair.

"Oh, Zeus... Is this, the moon god Artemis?"

"Moon God! Moon God, the gods have descended before my eyes!"

"Great Artemis, what orders do you have for appearing in Phocis?"

Great your mother!If Aka hadn't blocked his mouth roughly with the scabbard, Artemis would have almost cursed.

Hyacinthus calmly faced Artemis' stare, bent down, disguised his voice with divine power, and whispered a few words in the oracle's ear.

The oracle's expression hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, it seemed that these words would not harm Apollo's interests, so he straightened his back and said loudly: "The god said, don't panic, all this is just a small misunderstanding. "

"What misunderstanding?" One of the councilors said vigilantly, "The Spartan army invaded Phocis without saying a word, obviously because of the previous oracle! It said that their new king Hyacinthus was rejected by the gods. If you want to To reverse the end of Sparta's destruction, Hyacinthus must come to the temple to sacrifice himself."

The oracle said without changing his face: "Yes, this is a small misunderstanding. The great moon god Artemis is here, and I cannot lie in front of her—in fact, whether it is the sun god Apollo , or Artemis, the moon god, are friends of the new king Hyacinthus of Sparta. The gods have negotiated with His Majesty Hyacinthus to take this opportunity to clean up the Temple of Delphi!"

The oracle slammed his cane heavily, and pointed at the high priest who could not get up: "He! Greed has corrupted his soul. He accepted bribes in private, distorted the oracle, and manipulated the situation of the battle. He blasphemed the gods!"

One word stunned everyone.

People in each position reacted differently.

For example, the high priest, he was shocked and wanted to put away the letters on the ground, but Pal had already picked up the letter before he opened it: "—high priest! Before Arcadia and Argos You distorted the oracle to provoke the war between the two?!"

Another example is Phocis and the Spartan soldiers:

"...'Whether it is Apollo, the sun god, or Artemis, the moon god, they are all friends of the new king Hyacinthus of Sparta'...?"

"'The gods have taken great care of this king'...?"

"'A little . . . joke among friends'?"

The shock between people is always the same. They seem to have a sympathy with the Spartan soldiers in the temple not long ago, and they all showed expressions of "shocked my whole family".

Another example is Artemis.

If Akara hadn't been in time, the moon god would have rushed out, yelling at the oracle for being ignorant of good and evil, and repaying kindness with revenge. If she had known, she wouldn't have spared the other party's life for the sake of his loyalty to Apollo.

Paar on the side had a face full of "really", and said excitedly: "The first time I saw the king in Sparta, I was sure that the king must be deeply favored by the gods. If you were there, you would definitely be able to You know what I mean. It's just that I didn't expect that even Luna is friends with His Majesty Hyacinthus?"

and many more.

Then why in Sparta, His Majesty Jacintos still showed that he didn't know much about the civil strife in the temple, and he needed to collect information...

As soon as doubts popped into his head, Pal slapped his thigh: Isn't this obvious?It must be the gods, seeing his family's silent efforts to clear the temple, this is for His Majesty Jacintos to wake up and test him!Fortunately, he woke up in time, otherwise his family would be ashamed before the gods.

Artemis: "...Ugh! Ugh!!"

I'm so mad, I'm so mad!These big idiots, little deaf and blind, when did she and Hyacinthus become friends! !

But no one could hear her efforts. The high priest's loud rebuttal and the councilor's curses drowned out the distress signal she finally sent out. A sense of threat pressed against her skin.

Aka's voice came softly and indifferently from behind: "Shut up, make noise."

"..." Hateful dog boy!Artemis couldn't help crying.

Pal had already drawn enough motivation from the brain supplement. At this time, he inserted the quarrel between the high priest and the councilors, saying that his family had collected evidence early on. Apart from the high priest, there were many other priests in the temple who also secretly received evidence. Bribes and enriching his own pockets, he can now have someone go to his home to fetch them and bring them to court.

The legislators whispered among themselves for a while: "Temporarily control the high priest and the temple priests. We can wait until the court session tomorrow for further discussion, but the Spartan army invaded Phocis and besieged the chamber—"

Pal jumped higher than anyone else: "Didn't you hear what the oracle said? His Majesty Hyacinthus was entrusted by the two gods to help clear the temple! You have opinions on the decision of the gods ?”

Artemis: "..."

I don't! !You nonsense! !ah! ! ! !
