Chapter Eighty-Six: The Deer Shooting Festival is on duty
The biggest feature of the pony is that it is not easy to fall off, and it is very stable to ride on.
Even with no one to lead him, Achilles rode it with ease.
"Ajax, you wait for me. ”
"Brother, what's wrong?" Ajax slowed down a little, waiting for Achilles to catch up.
Achilles rushed to his side and asked, "Ajax, do you know where this pony came from?"
"According to my father, my mother bought it when she was alive, and she just bought a pair, when they were very young. ”
"Before death?" Achilleston smelled something unusual, "isn't Aunt Hesione?"
Ajax shook his head, "She's not my real mother. ”
Achilles strangled the horse's belly, and the pony immediately stopped obediently.
"What's going on?"
Ajax glanced at him, and there was no special expression on his little face, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"My mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me. ”
To put it this way...... Achilles felt that his mind was a little confused, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I'm sorry, Ajax. ”
"Sorry for what?" Ajax glanced at Achilles quizzically.
"I shouldn't have asked you this if I had known, I'm sorry. Achilles sincerely apologized.
"It's alright, let's go shoot two bunnies. ”
Ajax slapped the horse's buttocks with his bow, and the pony immediately "tapped" forward, and Achilles immediately followed.
......
The sun was beginning to set, and somewhere in Arcadia, a goddess in a crisp white dress was lying on a large smooth cyan rock, watching the sun set back into the sea.
After a while, as if feeling uncomfortable in this position, the goddess folded her white arms behind her neck, and as she raised her hands, the clothes on her chest suddenly stretched out an astonishing arc.
"Hey, it's still uncomfortable. After thinking about it, the goddess secretly glanced around again, found that there was no one, and then ...... Cocked Erlang's legs!
"Hey, it's still so comfortable. The goddess sighed comfortably, not afraid of the risk of going naked under the skirt at all, anyway, Arcadia is a woman, what are you afraid of.
The mischievous wind elf blew and blew into the skirt of the goddess, well, a little cool.
"Lord God, you are so unsightly!"
Artemis was startled by the sudden sound, and she immediately sat up from the stone.
A goddess in a pale blue dress was standing by the stone, looking at her solemnly.
Artemis patted the majestic peak on his chest lightly, and said angrily, "Sister Actea, why did you suddenly run out? ”
"Artemis, you are one of the main gods of Mount Olympus, how can you pose like this?
"Alright, alright. Artemis waved her hand helplessly, "I won't do that next time." ”
Hmph, next time I won't do this in front of you.
Actea shook her head helplessly, Artemis knew at a glance that she was not truly repentant, but she was the main god, she couldn't be scolded, she couldn't beat it, she couldn't control it at all.
Seeing that Actea was still not leaving, Artemiston wondered, "Sister, is there anything wrong with you?"
Actea said succinctly: "The sun is setting, and today you are still driving the moon car." ”
"How is that possible?" Artemis laughed and shook his hand, "You're mistaken, sister. I handed over the moon cart to Goddess Phoebe when the sun rose today, and today it's her turn to watch the night!"
Actea looked at Artemis helplessly, "Then do you remember that today is the Deer Shooting Festival?"
Artemis' laughter came to an abrupt end.
"Shoot ...... Deer Shooting?" Artemis glanced at Actea in disbelief and stretched out his hands to cover his ears, "No, I don't listen, this must be fake, you must be lying to me." ”
"Let's go, the sun is sinking!"
"I'm not going!" Artemis shook his head, covering his ears, "If I go, I'll be on duty eleven days a month!
"That's one day a year, let's go, go to Goddess Phoebe to retrieve the moon cart, it's almost too late. ”
Artemis immediately lay down on the big rock and pretended to be dead, "No, the goddess Phoebe will laugh at me for being a little confused! No, I won't go, it's too embarrassing." ”
Remembering the meaningful look in Goddess Phoebe looking at her this morning, Artemis felt that her face was hot, and she was really ashamed to be thrown to her grandmother's house.
"It's okay. Actea forcibly dragged Artemis up from the stone, "Anyway, the goddess Phoebe is your grandmother, what are you afraid of? ”
Actea persuaded for a long time, and Artemis finally reluctantly agreed, but he refused to leave.
Seeing that the time was about to come, a fairy suddenly ran over.
"Lord God, Goddess Phoebe has arrived!
Artemis was shocked, "It's over, she's come here to laugh at me." ”
Actea was much calmer, and she turned to the little fairy and asked, "Did Phoebe come from the Moon Chariot?"
"Yes, goddess Actea. ”
"Go back and tell the goddess Phoebe, and the Lord Artemis will be there soon. ”
The little fairy answered, and immediately ran in the direction of the temple.
Actea turned his head to look at the panicked Lord God and urged, "Artemis, Goddess Phoebe has sent you the moon cart, go to the temple quickly." ”
Just now, I promised to do well, and when I said that I would go to get Artemiston for the moon car, I lied to me.
"Sister, you can help me go and see Goddess Phoebe, just say that I am not feeling well and can't see her. ”
Actea covered her forehead weakly, what kind of strange reason is this?
You are the Lord God! How can you not feel well?
Actea said helplessly: "You better go and meet it, it's really rude if I'm the only one to receive it." ”
Phoebe is the first generation of the goddess of the moon, one of the oldest twelve titan gods, no matter the status and strength of Actasia can match, and in the whole of Arcadia, only Artemis's identity is comparable to her.
Artemis forced himself to calm down, patted his cheek, and said, "Sister Actea, then you go over and greet me first, and I'll go over right away." ”
"Don't you don't come. Actea was a little worried.
Artemis gave her a blank look, "In the name of Styx, I will definitely go." ”
Actea was relieved and hurried towards the temple.
Artemis looked back at the sunset that was slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea, took two deep breaths, straightened his clothes, and slowly moved towards the temple with a calm appearance.
On the other side, Actea hurried into the temple, where a goddess with long silver hair was sitting on a side seat, her head bowed, not knowing what she was thinking.
Actea immediately saluted, "Goddess Phoebe, welcome to Arcadia. ”
The goddess with long silver hair raised her head, she looked like she was in her thirties, and with a silver long dress, she had a bit of the momentum of a cold royal sister.
She glanced at Actea slightly, "Isn't Artemis here?"
"Goddess Phoebe, Lord God will be here soon. Actea said respectfully and politely.
"Forget it, I don't think she's coming. Goddess Phoebe's face showed a hint of a smile that seemed to be not a smile, "I will leave the moon car, I will go back." ”
Phoebe stood up and was about to leave, just as Artemis walked in briskly.
"Yo, isn't this our little moon?" Phoebe said, feigning surprise.
Artemis showed a hint of helplessness on his face, but quickly calmed down again, "Goddess Phoebe, it's been a long time...... Well, no. ”
Embarrassing, we met in the morning.
Artemis couldn't help but blush.
"Do we little moon miss me so much?" a smile appeared in the eyes of the goddess Phoebe, "It's been a long time, it's been almost a day." ”
Artemis pretended to be calm and did not speak.
Phoebe wanted to tease her, but after looking at the sky and Artemis's face, she gave up the temptation.
"Okay, today is the Deer Shooting Festival, let's hurry up. ”
"Huh?" Artemis was about to accept Phoebe's ridicule, when she suddenly heard her say this, and suddenly did not react.
"Why are you stunned? Go quickly, it's getting dark. ”
Artemis came to his senses, immediately bowed slightly, and ran out. Although I don't know why Goddess Phoebe let her go so easily, but whatever she is, it's good that she can escape the catastrophe.
Boarding the moon rover and flicking the reins, four golden elk stepped on the void and rose into the sky, and a bright white moon slowly rose with it.
The moonlight shone on the land, and everywhere there were bonfires lit, and Artemis knew that it was the beginning of the people's sacrifices.
However, she doesn't have the heart to pay attention to people's sacrifices now, and every year during the deer shooting festival is the worst time for her.
Because she has to work overtime! To be honest, she doesn't like to be on duty at all.
The moon cart passed by a huge pasture, and thousands of sheep that had not yet fallen asleep were bleating wantonly, and the noise was earth-shattering.
Artemis glanced down, and suddenly a ...... flashed through his head
"Phew, what am I thinking?"
Artemis shook her head and let out a sigh, "I just wanted to see Sister Thetis, yes, that's it." ”
As if to comfort himself, Artemis muttered to himself.
But she knew that Thetis was not here now, nor in the capital of Sebris, but on some island in the south.
Artemis' eyes struggled for a moment, but he decided to give up, "Forget it, let's go later." ”
It would be too abnormal for her to go to Thetis twice in three days.
