15. I don't like to cry
After a few more words, Scamander hurried away, for he felt the breath of another god.
Seeing the figure on the ground, Bacchus swooped down anxiously, then grabbed Amplos's shoulder to look up and down, and after seeing that he was okay, Bacchus finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he frowned and asked, "What about Scamander?" ”
Amplos shook his head: "I don't know, he left me here and left." ”
Dior looked at Amplos, his expression was inexplicable, Amplos's heart was about to jump out, only to see Dio shake his head, and then hugged Amplos hard, "It's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay......"
Amplos's head was on Dior's shoulder, he looked at the mountains in the distance, his eyes widened slightly, Dio didn't ask anything, he didn't question anything, he just put his heart at ease after seeing that he was safe, as if he was ...... He really loves himself as much as he does.
Amplos felt his heart beating unusually, and couldn't help frowning, telling himself over and over again, no, he loved himself only because of the arrows of Eros, it was the power of Eros that confused him, and that's all.
Go back with Amplos, but only back to Hischark. Dio settled him down, and then he went back to Troy, and he was going to ask Zeus for his guilt, maybe no one else needed to apologize, but he was the son of Zeus, so he had to go back.
In fact, after the departure of the god of wine and the god of rivers, the other gods basically withdrew one after another. Except for Athena and Hera, who had a grudge against Troy, the others were only forced to participate, and since they could withdraw, they gradually left Troy for various reasons.
While sitting in a daze on the bed, Hermes walked in.
Amplos glanced up, then lowered his head again.
Hermes walked up to him, sat with him for a while, and asked, "Are you crying?" ”
Amplos didn't answer, and Hermes laughed himself, "You are really the most crying woman I've ever seen, crying at every turn, if you put your thousands of years of tears together, it's enough to make a river." ”
Amplos's voice was muffled, and he whispered to defend himself, "I never cried before, I was from ...... Anyway, I don't like to cry. ”
Yes, the former siren shines like a star, how can she cry, it's just that since the Battle of Athens, there have been too many sad things that she will become a crybaby.
Hermes stiffened the corners of his mouth, but he didn't know why he was smiling, and took something out of his bosom and handed it to Amplos.
"Your belt, I brought it back for you."
Amplos took it, gripped it tightly with both hands, and whispered, "Thank you." ”
Hermes stood up and walked out the door, and when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned back, "Siren." ”
Ampulos looked up, waiting for his next words. Hermes stopped talking several times, and finally could only say vaguely: "If someone comes to you recently, don't be polite, use him to your heart's content." ”
Hermes smiled wickedly, then turned away. Amplos frowned and thought about this, but he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know what the hell Hermes was thinking.
Hermes's smile disappeared as soon as he walked out of the door, and he kept asking himself in his heart, was this right? Wouldn't it really cause more trouble for the sirens? Then he shook his head again, and silently told himself: No, no, that person has always been ashamed of the siren, and he will definitely help her.
Bacchus had withdrawn from the Trojan War, and even Hera would not change his mind even if he glared at him. Back in Hishalk, Amplos was asleep, still clutching the belt he had given him.
Even if the gods withdraw, the war will continue. It's been ten years now, and everyone has put down their most precious things and is ready to fight to the death.
This morning, an eagle flew in the northern sky, but when it was hunting prey, one of its claws accidentally hooked into the vine, and it couldn't struggle out, and soon, a poisonous snake with a highly poisonous liquid crawled over and bit it to death.
Amplos watched this scene quietly, and knew in his heart what would happen today.
This is a sign brought by the goddess of fate, his friend Achilles, who will die today.
Although Dio was not involved, he did not want to go either. Staying here to witness the final victory also made Amplos feel a little relieved, and accompanying him on the last leg of his journey can be regarded as a sign of respect for this hero.
Before the war began, Ampulos went to see his friend for the last time, and Achilles was wiping his armor, the dress that the god of fire had made for him himself, like the god of war.
Achilles saw the comer, put down the things in his hand, and stepped forward with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be a hero too, and your archery skills are unrivaled here." Thank you, my friend. ”
Amplos smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a gesture." Going? ”
"Yes, what about you, will you also kill the enemy bravely today?"
In the face of Achilles' expectant gaze, Amplos could only shake his head: "No, yesterday caused a riot, and if I go again today, I will be killed by stones." ”
Achilles laughed heartily: "Whoever kills a real hero, then I will definitely kill him before he can do it!" ”
Watching Achilles leave. Before he went out, he glanced back at Amplos and made a gesture of goodbye between men, and Amplos smiled, but after he went out, he slowly lowered the corners of his mouth.
Dio went out with him, and neither of them would go to watch the war today, and it was cruel to Amplos to see his friend die.
As a human being, Dio was surprised that he was not alarmed by the waves of death, but when he thought of Amplos's anomalies, he was not so much a human being as a god, a god who was not shocked.
Back in Hischark, Dio asked several times, and he said that he was really fine, looking into Amplos's eyes, Dio slowly believed. Amplos has been getting more and more lethargic lately, and he explains that it is the reason why spring is approaching, and that humans are always tired in spring, and Dio is skeptical, but when he examines his body, there is indeed nothing abnormal.
After Amplos fell asleep, Dio left his Bacchus Staff here to protect Amplos with it.
As soon as he went out, he saw Athena looking at him coldly.
Dior was stunned, the frivolity and flamboyance on Athena's face had long since disappeared, and he asked strangely, "Why do you look at me like this?" ”
Athena pulled the corners of her mouth and said sarcastically: "If it weren't for your little lover, Greece would have won yesterday." Remember when I said you had to protect him? You really should be well protected, because Hera is going mad. ”
Dio snorted coldly: "She doesn't have this time, besides, if she dares to come, I can beat her back again." ”
If it was usual, Athena would have laughed and joked a long time ago. But today she was really not in the mood, she always felt that the young man was familiar, but she couldn't remember it until he jumped into the flood of the river god, although the thick fog covered him, but Athena still vaguely remembered that this young man was exactly the same as the goddess of the sea back then.
It's not pleasing, it will only spoil her good deeds.
All the way to Mount Ida in silence, Thetis was surrounded by a group of sea fairies, crying bitterly.
Apollo hung his head, and the former high sun god had to endure everyone's accusations.
Apollo's son was in the Trojan crowd, and Apollo panicked when he saw Achilles targeting his son. Subconsciously bent his bow and pulled the arrow, the mistletoe was on the string, and an arrow hit Achilles' heel.
The hero lost his nimble legs and feet, and of course could no longer hurt his son. But it was a magic arrow, with the Apollo arrow that was powerful enough to kill a group of people, Achilles stood up angrily, dragged the body and continued to fight, until the poison spread to his heart, and then collapsed.
Achilles' death completely ignited the wrath of the Greeks, who shouted to come forward and cut down all their enemies to avenge Achilles.
The Trojans had to hide back in the walls built for them by the gods, the Greeks could not get in, the Trojans could not get out, and the war was stalemate.
Apollo sat abruptly on the side, Artemis by his brother's side, grimacing. Artemis is a peacemaker on Mount Olympus, never quarrels, never asks for anything, as a virgin/goddess, no one will disturb her tranquility, everyone respects her, and will never find fault with her. She stood beside her brother, but she couldn't defend him.
Bacchus looked at this qiē and suddenly remembered Amplos' words from time to time.
"Artemis, she is the god I admire the most." "If you want to say who is the most worthy of respect, it is, of course, the goddess of the hunt." "If only I could see her."
Although he was depressed about being compared to the goddess of the hunt, he couldn't sit idly by when he thought about it. Walking up to Artemis, he said to the aggressive god of the north wind, "It's all about protecting your son, can you not save your own child?" Things have happened, this is a predestined thing, Apollo was just blindfolded by the goddess of fate, besides, Achilles just left the world, he will become a god in the near future, why do you always blame the great sun god, is it because you are jealous of Apollo? ”
The North Wind God was said to be red-faced, but no one stepped forward to help him. Because Dionysus is telling the truth. Artemis looked gratefully at Dionysus, and Dio smiled and returned to his original position.
Hera looked at him in surprise, not because he spoke for Apollo, but because he would actually participate in the strife of the gods, what does Dionysus mean? Is he going back to Olympus?
Regardless of the inner thoughts of everyone present, Dio also returned to Amplos after Thetis left.
It was noon when he went out, and when he came back it was late afternoon, and Amplos was still asleep.
At the same time, the sirens of the underworld dragged their increasingly tired bodies and slowly walked towards the gates of the underworld.
