Chapter 156: Seventy-Six: Death (1)
Excellence was still worried about how to let this old boy carry the celestial ball, if he wanted to fight, he would really give it for nothing, when he saw that Atlas actually took the celestial ball and carried it on his shoulder, he couldn't help it anymore, stood there and pointed at Atlas and laughed: "Haha, Atlas, are you calling smart but being clever and mistaken?"
Hercules picked up the golden apple from the ground at this time, bowed to Atlas with a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "Atlas, I carried it for a while just now, and found that I was not in good health, and I was tired and sweating for a while, and it was still a great god like you who could hold up the sky." Thank you for helping me pick the golden apple!"
Atlas was ashamed and angry, staring at the eyes of the two of them could breathe fire, and after a while, he sighed, and said quite lonely: "Aren't you going back, for the sake of me picking golden apples for you, can you do me a favor?"
Although Hercules was angry with him for cheating, he was still grateful to him for picking the golden apple for him, so he said in a deep voice: "You said, as long as I can do it, I will help you do it." ”
Atlas said sincerely: "I've been holding out for a thousand years, I'm really tired, and I really don't want to hold on like this anymore." I heard that Zeus's daughter Athena has another golden battle shield, and the head of Medusa on it will be petrified at a glance, can you let Athena come and petrify me?"
Hercules hesitated a little, and then said loudly, "I will bring your request to the Goddess of Wisdom, and I can't guarantee whether she will come and petrify you." ”
"Thank you!" Atlas nodded.
Hercules took out the golden bowl, the two jumped into the golden bowl and returned the same way, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Big brother, bring me the golden apple for research." ”
Hercules took out the golden apple and handed it over, and when he looked at it carefully, he saw that the golden apple was the size of a bowl and had a golden skin. After reading it, I unnaturally gave birth to a sense of possessiveness in my heart, and my heart said What is the use of this broken fruit, and you can become an immortal if you eat it?
When I asked Hercules, he didn't know even more, but he heard that the golden apple was precious, but he didn't know exactly where it was precious.
I wanted to ask Athena, but when I returned to the Alps, I didn't see her, and Xiao Zhuoyan took advantage of people's inattention to lay on her stomach and clicked it, so scared that she almost didn't lie down.
In the past, I saw that she didn't bite it, but when I saw that she was staring at her eyes and wanted to bite it, I quickly snatched the apple and handed it to Hercules, and said with a wry smile: "Good daughter, you can't eat this thing casually, you almost can't come back for it." ”
Talking about what Atlas wanted to play tricks, everyone laughed at Atlas's poor brain, praised Hercules's wit, and praised Hercules a little embarrassed.
As soon as the two of them had summed up, it was better to send the golden apple to Eurystheus first, so that there would be no other accidents, so they flew to Tirens together.
Soon after arriving in Thessaly, Hercules said, "No, let's go to the city of Frey to see Admetus, he is a very hospitable man, and he has given me a warm reception the last time I came." ”
"Haha, I think you're addicted to alcohol again, right?" said Excellence with a smile.
Hercules muttered as he let the griffon land, "Whoever is like you, who doesn't eat a few bites of food now, what's the point of living like that!"
Excellence said that this is called Bigu, Bigu understands, but he can't understand it with this foodie, so he can only shake his head helplessly.
When he came to the gate of the palace, he saw that there was a cry inside, and when he asked, he found that Admetos's wife, Alkstis, was dying.
"I'm cāo, what kind of luck is this, I want to make a tooth sacrifice and actually take advantage of someone else's dead wife!" said Excellence as he walked in with Hercules.
Soon Admetus came out of it and welcomed the two into it with a sad face. Hercules asked what was going on, Ademmetus looked embarrassed, and after a long time he sighed and said: "Alas, I'm not an outsider anyway, so I'll tell the truth! Originally, I was going to die, Apollo pleaded with the goddess of fate, and the goddess of fate had only one way, and that was to have someone die on her behalf." It's just that no one wants to, and my wife is going to die on my behalf after knowing about this two days ago, and she will be buried today. ”
Although he looked sad, his eyes were rolling wildly when he spoke, and he seemed to care about whether the two of them believed what he said. The heart says that there is a weirdness, and there must be a story in it.
So he asked him about his relationship with Apollo, and then he realized that it was because of himself. When he first crossed over, Zeus killed him in order to punish the god of medicine for saving himself, and Apollo went to Sicily to avenge his son, and shot a cyclops, and Zeus punished him to work here. This Admetus is a good man, and he quickly got along with Apollo, and this wife was also asked by Apollo for him.
"Your sister, Apollo didn't know that his eldest brother was going to hell to catch the guard dog, and deliberately let this guy pretend to be pitiful here!
Zhuo Zhuo thought and gave Hercules a look: "Big brother, there is nothing we can do about this, it will only increase the king's sorrow here, I think it is better to go, and come back to worship the queen!"
Hercules, though he didn't know what Excellence meant, knew that he must have seen something, so he nodded, and the two said hello to Admetus and prepared to leave.
Admetus was in a hurry, opened his mouth a few times, and hesitated for a while not knowing whether to talk or not. Zhuo Zhuo smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "King, has the God of Light explained anything to you, if you want, we can listen to it." ”
"This...!Alas, it's all at this time, and there's nothing to hide, I just hope that the two of you don't spread the word. ”
Admetus stomped his foot, drove everyone else out, and whispered, "The God of Light told me to wait here for Brother Hercules, saying that only you can save my wife." ”
"How did he know we'd pass through here?" Excellence had wanted to ask for a long time.
Hercules said at this time: "I know, he is the god of prophecy after Prometheus, and he must have calculated it." ”
"Grass, can you really predict it?" thought about it and said, "We don't know how to disagree with the yellow technique, how can we save it?"
"That's... , the god of light said that it was Danadus, the god of death, who came to collect my wife's soul tonight, and you just need to make sure that the god of death can't take my wife's soul today. ”
Excellence said that Danadus is a god no matter how bad he is, otherwise he would not be Hades's assistant, he is so easy to deal with, does Apollo believe in our ability too much?
"Alright, you can continue to bury, and the rest will be left to the two of us. Hercules said confidently.
When Admetus heard the joy, he lost the taste of the joy of the event, and hurried out to prepare food for the two.
"Big brother, are you so confident that you can deal with the Grim Reaper?"
"Hehe, it's a second-rate god, it's not that difficult to deal with!" Hercules said confidently.
