10. Achilles

"Wait for your new wings to grow before you can come back!"

The fog she had set up lifted, and Hermes was finally able to run over and hold the dying siren in his arms. Her mother's words lingered in her mind over and over again, and the siren smiled weakly, but the pain in her body had consumed all her strength, and she could only look at the sky blankly, unable to laugh again.

She already knew that she was wrong, she hugged her mother's leg and cried countless times, but Muse, her mother still ruthlessly expelled her. How long will it take, a thousand years, until the wings grow?

In order to go home, in order to be able to admit her mistakes to her mother, she worked hard to live, and religiously accompanied the goddess of hunting every day, hoping to stay by her side and accelerate the healing of her body; Be kind to everyone, let everyone like her, and hope that her mother will see her sincere attitude of correcting her mistakes; A low-key life, never quarrel with anyone, and stay quietly in the hunting palace, hoping to return to his hometown soon.

I've worked so hard, but I still can't help it. One oracle kept her from returning home, and another from seeing the light. Countless nights of resentment and curse, but there is still a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that the goddess of fate has not given up on her, the current one qiē is just a test, and the future will be beautiful.

The siren took a deep breath, then looked at Hermes with a smile, "I know what I'm doing, it's the only way I can do it, and I've done it, you don't have to persuade me, you can't persuade me." That's it, life or death depends on fate. ”

Hermes and the siren looked at each other, and after a half-sound, he stood up in silence, and paused for a moment before saying, "Got it." ”

He turned away, and the siren let out a low sigh and followed his figure until he could no longer be seen.

=====

Dionysus rushed back to Peroka and was relieved to see Ampulos looking at the sun in a daze.

Dio happily stepped forward and gave him a reunion hug, until he hugged the person tightly in his arms, and Dio's heart finally fell to the ground.

He thought silently that he must hide Amplos and never let anyone see him.

Seeing Dio rummaging through the room, Amplos asked strangely, "What are you looking for?" ”

Dio didn't speak, searched for a long time, and finally found a purple belt in a mahogany box. Amplos's original black cloth robe had long been thrown away by Dio in the name of ugliness, and now he was dressed in white, and the silky fabric could barely find the stitches, and Dio turned around and put it on him with a gentle movement, which immediately added a lot of color.

Dio smiled with satisfaction: "It's really suitable for you." ”

Amplos looked at the belt on his body and asked suspiciously, "Why does this belt look different?" ”

Dio raised an eyebrow: "Can you see that?" As he spoke, he smiled, "This is woven from the hair of the ancient river god, which can change the appearance of the master, although there is a little shortcoming, but as long as it is a person and a god, you will definitely not be able to see the original appearance of this person, not even Zeus." ”

Furukawa God, isn't that his grandfather, no wonder he always feels a familiar aura.

Ampulos thought for a moment and laughed, "Then what do you think of me now?" ”

Dior looked at it several times, and Ampulos looked a little uncomfortable, before he said, "A fairly handsome young man, with red hair and black eyes, and skin like that of a fisherman. ”

Hearing his new appearance, Amplos was also curious, he ran to the mirror, and sure enough, as Dio said, he turned his head and asked with a smile, "Why did you give me this?" ”

Dio walked over, and a mysterious voice sounded in Amplos's ears: "Because...... We're going to see the excitement. ”

When he came to Hischark, Bacchus transformed into an ordinary person and bought a house in the local area. After settling in, just as I was about to go out, I heard a flamboyant voice.

"Oops~ I saw it yesterday, I saw it again today, Dionysus, after more than a thousand years, we are neighbors again."

Dio's face darkened, and he turned in silence, and sure enough, Athena's smiling flower branch trembled.

Amplos also felt very unlucky, how could he meet this one everywhere. I saw Athena exclaim, "Huh? How is it different from that one in the morning, Dionysus, you don't step on two boats too, do you?! ”

Dio's face darkened, and he raised his forehead and roared: "What nonsense! It's Ampulos! ”

Athena leaned over curiously, looked at it and looked at it, and sneered, "It's so fast, you just finished speaking." Let me see...... I see, the belt of the ancient river god, what a big hand, my family is full of things from the ancient gods. ”

As she spoke, she approached Amplos, in terms of height, Athena was taller than Dior and Amplos, she looked down at Amplos intimately, and whispered: "Look how much he cares about you, he will give you such a valuable thing at once, but don't break his heart." ”

At the last sentence, Athena's eyes instantly sharpened. All gods have the power of prophecy, and perhaps she sensed something, and Amplos forced a calm smile: "Of course not. ”

Looking into Amplos' eyes, Athena couldn't see anything, Dio was about to get angry, Athena straightened up playfully, and then turned around and walked out: "Regardless of you, I'm going to see the battle situation, see you later." ”

Dio frowned at her back and muttered quietly, "Inexplicably wonderful." ”

Amplos lowered his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Dio instruct, "Don't run around, if I'm not with you, you'll have to stay here." It's not that you won't be allowed to go out, it's that it's too dangerous here. ”

Hischark, next to Troy, was the only place on land where Troy could be accessed, and of course, that road had long been closed.

Amplos nodded obediently and assured him, "Don't worry, I won't run around." ”

Dio rubbed his cheek before he spread his wings and left. Ampulos stood in the doorway, watching him get farther and farther away.

Zeus's intentions are obvious to everyone, on the surface he is supporting Troy, but in fact he is fighting for Achilles, the son of Thetis, as long as the Greeks put down their dignity and plead with Achilles, the war will immediately change the direction of the wind, and those gods who support Troy do not know what they will do.

A bloody storm is about to begin, and all the gods will be thrown into it, and Dionysus will not be immune.

Ampulos sat on a garden bench and looked at the colorful flowers in front of him in a daze.

In addition to the blood color of the underworld, which is the black that engulfs a qiē, there is also a little bit of the milky white of the narcissus, such a bright thing, he has not seen it for a long, long time.

Ten years ago, the underworld suddenly became noisy and crowded. Every time they went to the River of Pain to find water, Charon's boat was full of undead, dressed in warrior armor, staring blankly into the distance, the corpses and rotting blood in the river made them tremble, not knowing whether hell or paradise awaited them.

Both kings and commoners must pass through such a river after death and understand how beautiful this life experience is, so that they can enter into eternal pain or joy.

The deepest impression was of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with blood in his throat and only half of the armor on his body. In war, the victor slit the throat of the vanquished and stripped off his armor as a trophy. The child who has not yet grown up is a vanquished.

He was still looking at the world around him in confusion, until Charon reached out to him, a black and dirty hand, and Charon said expressionlessly, "A silver dollar." ”

The young man searched around his body in a panic, not to mention silver dollars, there was nothing of value. The war goes on and on, the victor takes everything he has, and in the real world the corpses are piled up, who will remember to leave a silver dollar for this child?

Charon believed that if the deceased could not afford to pay even a penny, it was evident how vicious he was during his lifetime, so that no one would pay tribute to him after his death, so he was not worthy of being crossed, and could only wander alone at the gate of the underworld, and even float in the river of pain, until someone was willing to pity him and help him pay.

I have been in the underworld for too long, I have heard such tragic stories, and I have seen how sad people have seen them, and I will be sad for a while at first, but then it will be difficult to be moved again.

But the siren still pulled a piece of gold out of her clothes, and Pearl often gave her things, although she didn't need them.

"Take him away, and the warriors who don't have money, take them away."

Mercy was only given once, and then she stopped going there, she couldn't help all the undead, so why bother to make herself uncomfortable.

After waiting on the bench for a long time, Dio still did not return. Look at the sun, it was already close to dusk, and although Dio did not allow him to move around, but in everyone's bones there was a blood roll for war, and Ampulos hesitated for a moment, but still walked out of the city.

The house that Dior bought was next to the city walls, and because of the war, it cost almost nothing, and after a few steps, Ampulos came to the outside of the city. The dilapidated wooden boats overturned on the sand, and the desolation as far as the eye could see, this was only the neighbor of Troy, and in the distance, you could see the walls of Troy built by Poseidon and Apollo, what would it look like?

There was always a thick fog over Troy, and Amplos tried to look there, but he couldn't see the white tower inside, and he moved forward a little bit, but he still couldn't see clearly, and he walked a little further, and a little further, and a little further......

"Who are you, and why do you keep looking at Eriem?"

Amplos was startled and turned to look at him, both of them startled.

This man was tall, with a pair of heroic eyes and wheat-colored skin showing his manhood, and Amplos stood there dumbfounded, unable to distinguish whether the other party was a man or a god for a moment.

The man narrowed his eyes and looked at Amplos, and then hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Are you...... River God? Poseidon? ”

Amplos was stunned, he could only think that he was the god of the river, only his blue eyes and blue hair, which were the symbols of the sea and rivers, but neither man nor the gods could see his original appearance, this person could actually see it, and after a little thought, he understood who the person in front of him was.

Ampulos smiled and extended his hand in a friendly manner: "Hello, son of man and God, Achilles. ”
