8. Goddess of Wisdom
Amplos lowered his eyes, then looked at Dio again, his beautiful eyes showing a begging look, "Forgive me for not suing you, she has gone to a far, far away place, and I swore to her that I would never mention her to anyone, and now that I have broken my oath, I will not ask again, is it okay?" ”
Dio looked at him, then stroked his eye sockets, as if touching a rare treasure, "Of course, I will not persecute you, I will only love you and protect you." ”
Amplos smiled gratefully, and took the initiative to hug Dio for the first time, the face of the god of wine did not change, but his heart was already excited, he hugged Amplos back, harder than any time, Amplos was almost strangled by him.
In the evening, even the banquet outside was finally over, and Dio watched Amplos' delicate face in the dark.
Went far, far away, and definitely can't be mentioned.
Who can have the courage to compete with the muse, who is it?
The next day, Dio left the Amazon with Amplos. Although Ittal was reluctant, but the other party was a god, she didn't dare to say anything, but kept secretly looking at Amplos, not knowing who this young man who didn't talk much was. Amplos looked like a god, so she didn't dare to make a mistake.
Leaving the Amazon, Dio asked Amplos where he wanted to go, and Amplos thought for a long time, but he didn't know where to go, so he had to ask, "Where do you want to go?" ”
Dio smiled: "I want to go where there is you." ”
Amplos chuckled, "So what, I'm already here, where are we going?" ”
After deliberating for a long time, Dio finally decided to take a walk around the neighborhood and perhaps encounter unexpected scenery.
The appearance of the god of wine was so striking that Amplos was no better, and after several riots, the god of wine immediately decided to turn himself and Amplos into ordinary young warriors, so that no one would stare at them anymore.
However, the good times didn't last long, and just after two days of happy play, a woman blocked the way in front.
"Oh, who's this?"
Hearing this frivolous voice, Dio instantly felt a sense of weakness, and a woman in front of him, who was also dressed in a very ordinary dress, looked at them with a smile, and the god of wine removed her disguise, and at the same time, the woman also changed back to her original appearance.
From the moment the woman appeared, Amplos became stiff, and he kept his head down, not daring to make eye contact with her.
Athena looked at Amplos playfully: "What a beautiful boy, Dionysus, have you finally opened your mind?" ”
Dio stepped forward and slightly blocked Amplos, who had changed back to his original appearance, in fact, it didn't matter if he didn't change back, Athena was a god, and he could see who they were from the beginning.
A good trip was disturbed, and Dio was a little unhappy, "What are you doing here?" ”
Athena smiled: "I came to escort a demigod to complete his mission, and I happened to hear about the Amazon, so I wanted to see if I could see you, but I did, Dionysus, there must be a deep bond between you and me, guiding us in the dark." ”
Hearing this, Dio became more and more impatient, "This is what only humans say, isn't it gods like you and me who guide them in the dark?" I think you've been with humans for too long, and your heart is about to become human. ”
Athena shook her head disapprovingly, "It's ruthless/interesting, and it's rude, I'm also your sister, why don't you introduce your little lover to me?" ”
The god of wine wants to curse, no, curse God. According to her calculations, all the gods on Mount Olympus are his immediate relatives, and half of the human race is also his relatives.
Dio snorted, intending to drag Amplos away.
Ampulos stood quietly behind Dio, never looking up. Seeing this, Athena hurriedly stopped them, and deftly bypassed Dionysus, her ivory fingers gently lifting Amplos's chin, forcing Amplos to meet her eyes.
The golden armor, the glowing spear, and the shield emblazoned with the eagle totem were all held by a beautiful goddess, and Athena was as dazzling and domineering as ever.
Athena's original smile also froze at the corners of her mouth, I don't know why, she didn't like this face from the bottom of her heart, but if she wanted to say where she had seen it, Athena couldn't remember it.
Seeing the fear in Amplos' eyes, Dio took Amplos away from Athena, and then said angrily, "Athena, this is what you call politeness? ”
Athena had just wanted to joke, but now she herself was out of interest and made Dionysus angry. Athena smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm just surprised that you also found a lover, of course I'm very happy to have someone to accompany you, I didn't expect this child to be so afraid of me," she looked at Amplos with a smile in her eyes, but Ampulos could only feel cold, this woman's eyes were like poisonous tongues spitting letters, full of danger.
"Kid, what's your name?"
Amplos squeezed Dio's hand and barely smiled, "Amplos." ”
Athena smiled: "Good boy, I am the goddess of wisdom, not the goddess of revenge, so don't be so afraid of me." I'm good friends with Bacchus. ”
Dio said disdainfully: "Who is good friends with you, Athena, shouldn't you change your habit of recognizing relatives everywhere?" ”
Athena shrugged: "I'm bored, our father Zeus didn't let any gods participate in the Trojan War, the Greeks I supported were about to be defeated, and he also sent me to escort the demigods, and if I don't find something to do for myself, I'm going to become a statue." ”
Hearing about the Trojan War, Dio frowned: "Zeus won't let you interfere in Troy?" ”
Athena nodded, "Ever since Achilles' mother, Thetis, cried to Zeus, he changed his mind and didn't seem to want the Greeks to win. See, you all say that I am my father's favorite daughter, but his favorite daughter is Thetis, and for ten years the treacherous Trojans are still arrogantly fighting against us, and my father has completely fallen to them. ”
Dio doesn't speak, Athena is the wisest of the gods and the most cunning. Every word she says has her own considerations, Dio will not believe that she just gave up the fruits of the Battle of Troy, who does not know that Athena has a pathological obsession with victory, if her side loses, she will definitely take revenge on the other side viciously, no matter who the truth is.
At the same time, it is also a contest between the male god of war Ares and the female god of war Athena, who will definitely pour all her strength into helping the Greeks.
Thinking of this, Dio also laughed: "That's your business, I've long been away from Mount Olympus, and it doesn't matter to me what happens there." The oracle shows that the Trojan War ended in the tenth year, and you can quickly wait for the results. ”
Athena chuckled, "yes." ”
Amplos kept his head down, and he thought about it when he heard the conversation between them.
In the distance of heaven a man hurried by, and when Dio noticed him, a pair of wings on his feet had brought him to Dionysus and Athena.
There will be no one else who can have this kind of speed, except for Hermes, the messenger of the gods.
As soon as he landed, he said to them, "It just so happens that you are all here, Zeus has summoned Hades and the twelve main gods to the top of Mount Olympus, so let's go quickly." ”
Hearing Hermes' voice, Amplos shook irrepressibly, then lowered his head. Dio didn't notice his strange appearance, frowned and asked, "I'm going too?" ”
Athena asked funny: "Aren't you also the twelve main gods, how can you not go?" ”
Dio looked at Amplos and didn't know what to do, humans couldn't go up to Olympus. Athena understood what he was worried about, and then said to Hermes, "Hermes, help Dionysus to return this child to his palace." You're fast anyway, and you'll be back in a few minutes. ”
Hermes nodded, although he didn't know who this person was, but since it was a Dionysian person, he would also help. Dio also thought it was a good idea, and completely ignored the extremely nervous Amplos, he helped Ampulos put on his cloak again, and then whispered, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon." If you're bored, go hunting, don't you love hunting? ”
Amplos turned his back to Hermes and nodded silently, and Dio smiled before handing him over to Hermes. Hermes did not care who the young man was, and he asked, "Dionysus, where is your palace?" ”
"Peroka Forest, that is, Elidina Forest. In the densest woods in the south. ”
Getting the position, Hermes took Amplos's hand and flew high into the air in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, Athena and Dio could no longer see them.
Athena hugged her chest and smiled: "Amplos is so quiet, I haven't heard him say anything other than hearing him say his name." ”
Dio snorted, "You're terrible, he's very talkative when he's with me." ”
Athena smiled and stopped talking.
Amplos had one hand in Hermes's hand, and the other hand clutched the hat on his cloak and tried to pull it down, covering his eyes as much as possible.
It seemed to be a prank by the god of the winds, and when he saw this scene from the sky, a gust of wind blew mischievously, and even Hermes couldn't control his sense of balance.
Finally dodging the gust of wind, Hermes looked back to see if Amplos was safe, but happened to see him.
The cloak was blown to one side, and Amplos and Hermes looked at each other, blue eyes, sky-blue hair, small nose, and deep-set eye sockets, Hermes froze in the air.
"You ......"
Amplos panicked for a moment, then immediately calmed down, "I'm fine, Messenger of the Gods, the Peroka Forest is ahead, let's go over quickly." ”
Hermes agreed in a daze, sending Ampulos to his destination, he still couldn't react, watching Ampulos go in, until he disappeared from view, Hermes couldn't understand, could anyone look so similar?
Ampulos and Sirens, although one man and one woman, are simply one person!
