11. Blasphemy against the gods

Achilles was not surprised at all to see that the other party recognized him, and reached out in the same friendly manner, holding Ampulos back.

Neither man nor god can see what he looks like, but demigods can. It turns out that this is the disadvantage of the belt of the ancient river god, but it doesn't matter, because he likes this demigod very much.

"I'm not a god, my name is Amplos, I'm just an ordinary person, I came here with the god of wine, I just wanted to see Troy, but I couldn't see anything."

Achilles smiled softly and explained to him: "It is already surrounded by gods, and more and more gods hover over it, and they emit a thick fog to hide themselves and Troy. Everyone can see that there will soon be a fierce battle. ”

Indeed, the unusual aura floating in the air, some people tremble, some people are boiling, God has come, this ten-year catastrophe will soon have an end.

Without waiting for Amplos to reply, Achilles asked, "But why did you come, and if the gods came to choose a side to fight, what did you come to do?" ”

Amplos blinked, his voice brisk, "If it was to accompany Bacchus at first, it should be to meet you now." I've admired your name for a long time, the great hero Achilles. ”

Hearing Amplos's words, Achilles couldn't help but laugh, "I'm not a big hero. ”

As he spoke, he opened his arms and showed himself to Amplos, "As you can see, I am just a down-and-out commander, Agamemnon despises me, I have long since stopped participating in the war, and I am still waiting for the war to end and return to my homeland." ”

Ampulos laughed and shook his head at the sand on the ground.

Achilles looked at him strangely, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Amplos looked up, his eyebrows raised, "I laugh at your hypocrisy." ”

Achilles was stunned, he was the backbone of the Greeks, the nightmare of the Trojans, even the enemy only dared to praise him, and never dared to make a mistake, the first time he heard a person's blatant criticism, he was not angry, and patiently asked, "Why?" ”

Amplos took two steps forward and looked at the gray sea.

"You are eager to fight, so you are insulted and do not want to leave; You care about your team, that's why you met me in this place where you can see Troy; You were afraid of being found out, so you lied to me. Achilles, am I right? ”

Achilles was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You look very small, but you are very smart and brave, just like Odysseus. ”

Amplos shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I'm not as treacherous as him, I'm all clever." ”

Achilles smiled even more happily, he was already disgusted with Odysseus, the young man's words just said in his heart, Achilles liked the blue-eyed young man in front of him even more.

On a whim, Amplos followed Achilles on the coast for a long time, and even approached the territory of the Greeks, when they were chatting when they suddenly heard a rumbling sound.

The lightning fell quickly, the sky turned black in an instant, the wind was fierce, and everywhere was mixed with the screams of women and the roars of men, Ampulos looked at the sky in shock, Achilles reacted faster than him, quickly crushed him under him, and protected him tightly. Amplos's face pressed against the sand, and there was sharp sand that cut through his face, and a pain came, and he couldn't care about it, and Amplos's heart was pounding, and although it was just a glimpse, he still saw it.

The bearer of thunder and lightning, Zeus, the father of all gods.

The lightning came and went without a trace, leaving only the raging fires and the cries of the people.

Achilles raised his head, frowned at the coast not far away, and said in a low voice: "Zeus is angry. ”

Yes, Zeus was angry, because Apollo and Poseidon did not obey his orders and still intervened in the war, so he sent down thunder to warn them. However, the gods can protect themselves, and innocent people are weeping in despair in the midst of this natural disaster.

Amplos eased his frightened mood and slowly got up. Achilles held him up, stunned for a moment when he saw the blood on his face, "You're bleeding." ”

As he spoke, Achilles reached out and gently wiped it on Ampulos' face. Just as everyone treated Helen, Achilles treated Ampulos gently, and beauties always aroused countless pity from people, even if their hearts were more terrible than poisonous snakes.

Before Achilles could withdraw his hand, a gust of wind swept through him, and Ampulos was gone. He looked around in surprise, looked up again, and saw Ampulos standing with a blonde god. Amplos was tightly held in the arms of the gods, and his face was full of astonishment, and the gods glared at him angrily: "Achilles! How dare you blaspheme me! ”

Immediately, Achilles understood which god was in front of him, and he groveled and bent reverently, "I don't, Dionysus." I was just protecting him. ”

At this point, he also understood the relationship between the two. It is not said to blaspheme "him", but to blaspheme "me", which shows how important Amplos is in his heart.

Dio didn't trust him, turned his head to look at the frightened boy, and Amplos pointed eagerly at his face, "When the lightning just fell, I was almost affected, and it was Achilles who saved me." He saw that my face was bleeding, and it was like this, not like you think. ”

Dior looked at Amplos, and then at Achilles, who was calmly staring at him on the ground, and knew in his heart that he was wrong to blame the other party, but seeing that Amplos was so eager to defend the other party, the anger in his heart did not subside at all, but burned even more.

With a cold snort and a wave of the wind blade, Achilles frowned, it should be very painful, because Amplos saw a large wound on his hand, and even white bones were faintly visible.

Amplos was startled and pushed Dior reproachfully, "What are you doing!" ”

But Dio ignored him and flew back to the city with him.

Even the place where he had to touch with great difficulty was actually touched by the demigod, and the god of wine expressed his displeasure. The thought of Amplos' push and his disapproving look made him even angrier.

If he didn't punish him, how would he know how hateful things he had done, if he wasn't really selfless, whether he was the son of God or not, Dio would have let him be broken into pieces on the spot.

For the first time, Amplos had an opinion about Bacchus, if it was usual, he would be obedient, but Dio actually hurt the person who had just saved him, and this person was about to go to war!

The more Amplos thought about it, the more angry he became, and turned to accuse him, "Everyone knows that Achilles will soon return to the Trojan battlefield, and this is the last stop of his life, and you still hurt him!" What's more, he didn't do anything, he just protected me, is it wrong to protect me? ”

Dio's eyes narrowed dangerously, he usually wouldn't show his suspicion of Amplos, but today he was dizzy.

"The last stop of your life, this matter is known to no one except the gods, how did you know?"

Amplos froze, not knowing what to answer. Dio took a few steps forward and approached him, "Amplos, my love, why do you know so much about the gods? For example, the Peroka Forest, such as the belt of the ancient river god. ”

Amplos' eyes widened, not knowing what he was talking about.

Dio laughed and said, "I forgot to tell you that the belt of the ancient river god can only be worn by the descendants of the gods, except for those who have the blood of the gods, no matter what it is, it has no effect on it." But you, Amplos, fit so perfectly with it, do you still want to sue me, are you just an ordinary person? ”

Amplos's nervous cold sweat frequented, and he retreated step by step, and the person in front of him approached step by step. His beautiful eyes kept looking to the right because of nervousness, but he couldn't find a suitable answer. No, he could only bow his head and avoid Dio's forced gaze.

Dior raised his chin stiffly, because of the pain, Amplos frowned, subconsciously, Dior reduced his strength, but he was still unwilling to let him go, and continued to ask: "Say, why?" ”

Amplos's breathing became slightly rapid, and he pushed Dio away again, his eyes darkening, "I'm a descendant of the gods, so what? I've never looked into your past, so why do you care so much about mine? Isn't it enough that I met you, fell in love with you, and willingly stayed with you? My past is long gone, all that remains is the present and the future, and if you must cling to the past, then I should think about our relationship again, because I don't know if you love me or love my background. ”

With that, Amplos turned and went back to his room, he was afraid that the god of wine would catch up with him and ask him, but fortunately he didn't, and Dior stood there stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the other side, the Greeks were defeated again, and even their protector was imprisoned in the thunder of Zeus. Achilles' best friend tried to persuade him, but he insisted on his original request: Agamemnon would apologize in person before he could return to the battlefield.

The king of kings, Agamemnon commanded all the kings and princes, he would never be light-hearted, even if the ten years of war were about to end, he invested all the combat and financial resources of his country, even if he was about to fail, he still refused to admit his original mistakes, and did not intend to let go of his ridiculous so-called dignity.

Achilles' best friend, Patrocl, was a boy of only eighteen years old, the fluff on his face had not yet faded, and his youthful face was particularly conspicuous in the battlefield, although he looked immature and like a woman, no one would laugh at him. Because of Patrok's noble status, and his legendary friend, Achilles. What's even more bizarre is that he looks a bit like Amplos.
