Pushing the door in, although it was a very small sound, Artemis still heard it, the senses of the gods are different from people, they can know the movement around them lightly, and slowly sat down next to the siren, the original sound stopped, the siren wiped his eyes, and slowed his breathing before turning over and sitting up.

Artemis looked at her silently for a long time before sighing, "After crying today, don't cry anymore." ”

The siren looked at the sheets, was silent for a moment, and nodded heavily. Artemis stretched out his hand and said to her, "Give me the moonlight mirror, and the reserves inside should have been exhausted as the day passes." ”

The siren listened and began to untie the cloak tied to her body, Artemis helped her take off the cloak, and with a "clang", a golden thing rolled out.

At first, she didn't see it clearly, but when she saw it clearly, Artemis stood up suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened, she turned her head and looked at the sirens in shock, "This is the golden apple?!" ”

The siren still had a listless expression, and he spoke without emotion, "Yes, the god of wine gave it to me." ”

Artemis hurriedly picked up the golden apple, carefully examined it, the handwriting engraved on it was still so clear, she sat down again, and held the golden apple tightly in her hand, looking incredulous.

The siren wondered why she suddenly became excited, put her cloak aside, she looked at the golden thing and said, "It's just a golden apple, why are you so excited?" ”

Artemis was still in a daze, but when he heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at the siren's eyes containing ecstasy, the siren was startled, only to see Artemis's smile getting bigger and bigger, "Do you know what the golden apple does?" ”

Siren was stunned and said the words that Dio had told her, "Let mankind live forever." ”

Artemis shook his head, "No, it's just one of them. If Zeus didn't want humans to live forever, it would be easy to cut down the golden apple tree directly, but he sent so many powerful gods to guard it because the tree could not be destroyed. And the reason why it can't be destroyed is that it has another magical effect. ”

The Siren was intrigued by Artemis, she took the golden apple from Artemis' hand, and asked in disbelief, "What else can it do?" ”

Artemis didn't answer her question, but sighed, "He really loves you, and even Hera can't get the golden apple, he actually gave it to you." ”

The siren lowered her head, the corners of her lips tightened, she no longer wanted to refute those who did not know the facts, she was too tired.

Hermes had already told Artemis everything he knew, including what had just happened, and she did not expect Dionysus to love the sirens to such an extent, even if she deceived him and used him, he gave the sirens what she needed most. Although the sirens did not know, the gods of Mount Olympus understood what the golden apple meant.

Looking at the siren, Artemis had a trace of compassion in his eyes, if there were no such things, they would really be a good match, but time cannot be turned back, and what happened cannot be changed, Artemis put away these feelings, held the siren's hand, and his voice was light and with irrepressible joy, "Another effect is that it can restore the divine power of the gods to the peak period, sirens, you can grow divine wings!" ”

The siren looked up in a daze, Artemis hugged her excitedly, and then let go, urging the siren, "Eat it, you can go back to the way it was, eat it!" ”

Compared with Artemis's joy, the siren has always been surprisingly quiet, only looking at the golden apple in her hand in a daze, Artemis's smile gradually faded, she looked at the siren worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”

Siren gently placed the golden apple in Artemis's hand and forced out a smile, "I'm tired, let's talk about these things tomorrow, I want to sleep." ”

With that, she lay on her side on the bed, pulled over the velvet quilt of Darlan, and left her back to Artemis.

Artemis froze, holding the golden apple and not knowing what to say. After a long time, the siren finally heard the door knock, and she pulled the quilt above her head, clutching it tightly with both hands.

Hermes's voice raised in confusion: "You mean, she doesn't want to eat the golden apple?" ”

Artemis nodded, and Hermes immediately stood up, ready to go to the sirens. Artemis grabbed him with a look of disapproval, "You know better than me what the siren's character is, can you force her?" I don't understand why she didn't want to, that's why she came to you, and she listened to you the most. ”

Hermes looked at Artemis, who was looking at him encouragingly, Hermes sat back down, looking at the night, and his voice became helpless, "If she had listened to me, she wouldn't have come out in such an extreme way." ”

Artemis walked up to him with a frown, "It's useless to talk about the past, it's better to think about the current problem, why do you think she doesn't want to?" ”

For a long time, Artemis thought he would not answer, only to hear a sigh, "I only hope it is not what I thought." ”

As he spoke, Hermes stood up and looked down at Artemis, his tone incompatible, "Let her eat the golden apple anyway, I'll talk to her tomorrow, you go back first." ”

Artemis hesitated, but nodded anyway, and Hermes returned to his palace, where Artemis was still standing. The moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and the earth became dark and foggy for a while. Artemis looked up, sighed, and faded into the night.

When passing by the siren's room, Artemis heard a suppressed voice inside, she opened the door and found that the siren was looking in pain, she closed her eyes tightly, as if trapped in a dream, Artemis hurriedly went over, and the moonlight appeared above her head, but the siren did not look any better, and repeated in a low voice: "It hurts, it hurts......"

Artemis withdrew his hand, examined her body, and asked softly, "Where does it hurt?" ”

The siren's expression became more and more painful, and a voice as small as a mosquito and fly escaped from his mouth, "Wings...... It hurts ......."

Artemis froze, and only after half a sound did she slowly lift the quilt for the siren, carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, she straightened up, looked at the dark room, and held her forehead in a low voice.

=====

When she woke up early in the morning, the sirens had just walked out of the door when they saw Artemis and Hermes standing together, looking at her together.

The siren was stunned, then smiled at the two: "Good morning." ”

Hermes walked straight over and said directly, "You must eat the golden apple." ”

The siren froze and looked at Artemis, who meant the same thing. The siren rolled his eyes, looked at the green bricks under his feet and said, "In a few days." ”

Hermes exhaled, rubbed his eyebrows, and his voice was a little haggard, "Why don't you want to eat?" ”

The sirens did not answer, and Hermes said, "Isn't that what you're for, you've suffered so much and suffered so much, don't you just want to regain your divine power and go home?" Why is success just around the corner, but you don't want to? ”

The siren's mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say. She didn't understand why she didn't want to, there was always a trace of fear in her heart, if she recovered, it would be a complete break with the past, and if she ate the golden apple, then the last thing that Dio left her would be gone.

Looking at the siren's acquiescence, Hermes's heart became more and more angry, he grabbed the siren's shoulder, the force was not small, the siren's expression immediately became painful, Artemis wanted to separate the two, and suddenly heard Hermes's angry voice, "Can you be more mature!" Can you not be so selfish! ”

Artemis was stunned, and the sirens looked at Hermes dumbfounded.

"Your body and your life are all yours, and none of us can control it, but please think about it for us! You have been like this since the beginning, and you are still like this more than a thousand years later! If you want to go to war, you can go to war, if you want to go all-or-nothing, now you don't want to recover, you don't want to go home, you want to continue to suffer, I really don't understand, can't you see us who are worried about you! ”

Artemis' hand remained in the air, slowly lowering. Hermes was right, the sirens were too self-serving, irresponsible to themselves and to others, although she thought the same, but she did not dare to say this to the sirens, she was afraid that the sirens would be sad.

Seeing the siren's shocked eyes gradually turn to shame and sadness, Hermes began to regret his tone again, his voice softened, and his words even supplied, "Even for your father, for Artemis, and for Persephone and me, eat the golden apple, return to your most beautiful and healthy appearance, don't hurt anymore." ”

"How do you know ......"

Asked in surprise, as if thinking of something, the siren looked at Artemis, who was looking at her helplessly, and the siren was relieved and could only slowly lower his head.

"I won't be willful anymore, and I won't make you sad," he said, and the siren looked up and smiled lightly, "Actually, I'm curious about what golden apples taste like." ”

Hermes was stunned for a moment, and then laughed with relief, "It shouldn't be very delicious, try it." ”

Back in the room, the siren was holding the golden apple in his hand, Artemis and Hermes were both looking at her with good eyes, the siren looked at the golden apple in his hand, looked up at the two of them, and then smiled, and slowly put the golden apple to his mouth.

The siren's movements stopped, Hermes's heart sank, and then he heard a crisp "click", the siren chewed unhurriedly, just a big mouthful filled her mouth, and finally swallowed it, Artemis looked at her nervously, for fear that something was wrong.

The siren ignored them and took another bite, looking like she was eating a normal apple, and Hermes held his breath and waited for what was to come.

Since the time of Ouranos, the golden apple has disappeared until the marriage of Zeus, and the legend of the golden apple is still there, but the people who have eaten the golden apple are gone, and as the first person to eat crabs, the siren does not look abnormal at all.

It wasn't until the whole apple was eaten that the siren wiped his lips and looked at Hermes, "It doesn't taste very good." ”

Hermes was almost nervous, and when he heard this, he looked the sirens up and down, and then asked her, "Do you feel anything?" ”

Siren shook her head, she didn't feel anything. Artemis couldn't help frowning, how could it be useless, could it be that the legend is fake?

Just guessing, the siren suddenly grabbed Hermes fiercely, his nails were almost embedded in his arm, ignoring the pain, Hermes hurriedly hugged her, the siren arched uncontrollably, looking very painful.
