Greece: Age of Ascension

Chapter 7 Golden Apple

Atlas has always been a man of action, good words are worse than good deeds, after receiving the reminder, he hurried to the south bank, wading across the bay and crossing the islands, and finally saw an old man on a sunny beach.

He shrank his body to show his respect, and walked forward quietly.At that time, the friendly Nereus was taking a nap, and did not notice his arrival at all.

Atlas wanted to wake him up, but felt that it was not polite. After all, he was asking for help, so he had to be polite.

After thinking about it, he went to pick some coconuts elsewhere, and waited beside Nereus, and asked him when he woke up.

Unexpectedly, this wait has been waiting from noon to night, and from night to day.

Atlas was restless, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, trying to shake the other party awake several times, but held back forcefully.On the third day, Nereus, the old man of the sea, finally stretched his waist and saw the God of Qingtian next to him.

"Who are you? Why are you here with me?"

Atlas knocked a hole in the coconut and offered it politely, "Dear old man of the sea, great Nereus, I am guided by your daughter Hipponoë, and I am here to ask for your help."

Nereus was stunned for a moment, he of course knew the identity of Atlas with the ability of prophecy.Like all well-informed gods, he had already heard that the eldest son of Iapseus, the titan of soul and death, was arrogant and impertinent.So even though he had already woken up, he kept pretending to be asleep, but didn't want to help him at all.

Who would have expected that when the rumors made mistakes, this guy who was supposed to be arrogant and rude turned out to be unexpectedly polite. He was obviously anxious and wanted to disturb him several times, but he held back his temper and waited for three days three nights.

Nereus' impression of him can't help but change a lot, because patience is often an important factor in determining success or failure.

There is no doubt that Atlas possesses such qualities.

"Tell me why you came here, child." Nereus showed a friendly smile. Since he was introduced by his daughter Hipponoah, of course he would not lose face.

Atlas was overjoyed, and quickly expressed his desire for the golden apple.

After hearing the reason, Nereus nodded, "Golden apple tree, I think it should grow in the arms of Mother Earth and Sea God."

After saying such ambiguous words, Nereus turned over. In an instant, his muscles and clothes changed into a huge walrus, and he crawled towards the sea with his body arched.

Atlas is a little numb, and I really want to yell at him: "Riddler get out of Gotham."

But such venting is obviously useless, he can only sit on the beach and think slowly.

Epimetheus said the tree was on the west coast, and Nereus said it was in the arms of Mother Earth and Poseidon.

The mother of the earth is the earth, and the god of the sea is the sea. Where is the embrace of the two?

He was puzzled, but at this moment he thought, if only Prometheus was present, he would definitely be able to get the answer in an instant.

After thinking for a long time to no avail, he could only go back to the old road and search aimlessly along the coastline.On this day, Atlas passed by a bay, which was surrounded by steep cliffs. Countless seabirds flew around against the sea breeze, and the waves beat against the rocks, making rumbling water sounds.

The more Atlas searched, the more he felt discouraged. He supported his head with his arms, and lay on the beach, looking at the sky blankly. Can't find anything."

The initial ambitions had already been hit at this moment, and Atlas finally realized his mediocrity, and amidst such wild thoughts, Qing Tianshen fell asleep unconsciously.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already evening. He sat up and stretched comfortably. At this moment, his eyes suddenly focused, staring at the shadow on the ground in a daze.

Because of the obstruction of the cliff, the high cliff blocked the sunlight, and its shape was winding, looking like an arm.

Atlas couldn't help thinking of the words of Nereus: "Golden apples should grow in the embrace of the mother of the earth and the god of the sea."

If the shadow is an arm, isn't the middle of the two arms the embrace of Mother Earth?
Atlas quickly became bigger and turned into a tall giant again, looking down, and sure enough, the winding cliffs were like two arms embracing the sea.

But the embrace of Mother Earth is here, where are the golden apples?
He scratched his head in doubt, looked around, and searched more carefully.

After searching diligently, he found an abnormality, because there was actually a rock gap at the edge where the cliff was in contact with the sea water.

Atlas didn't dare to neglect, quickly reduced his body, and got in along the gap. The gap was narrow and rugged, and he could only keep changing his figure and squeeze in.

When he squeezed to the end, suddenly everything became clear, and a huge karst cave appeared in front of him. There were huge stalactites hanging everywhere in the karst cave, with the sound of ticking water. , where a tree with golden apples stands.

The golden apple tree is actually hidden in the cave. It is not only in the embrace of the mother of the earth, but also in the center of the pool.

After working for a long time, this is the embrace of the Sea God.

Atlas resisted the urge to find the old man of the sea and crush him to death, climbed up the branch and picked two fruits.

One was given to Hipponoah, and the other to Hypnos, the god of sleep.

When you need it again in the future, just pick it up again.

It's not that he never thought about transplanting the tree together, but considering that his family doesn't even have a land now, he doesn't know where to plant the tree after pulling it out, and he has to worry about being stolen all the time, so he stopped this idea.

Carrying the two golden apples, Atlas was beaming with joy, walked like flying, and soon returned to the place where Hipponoah was.

It was still the girl in love with no clothes on, "Beautiful Hipponoah, I give you this most precious gift, and wish you good morning, afternoon and evening."

Atlas presented the apple, Ocean Goddess was overjoyed for a moment, a few strands of light blue long hair wrapped around her fingers, and she covered her mouth in disbelief, "He delivered it, and he did, and he confessed his true feelings to me, why? What to do? What to do? Do you want to promise him? Do you want to promise him? "

Hipponoah's mind was full of thoughts, and his character shouted crazily, almost peeing out of excitement.

Atlas still kept the gesture of handing the apple, seeing her standing still, her pretty face blushing, she felt baffled in her heart, and said inwardly, "Don't you want me to say it, how embarrassing it is for me to keep handing it like this. "

Don't you know that the girl is full of inner drama at this moment, and she is still immersed in her own world, unable to extricate herself, Atlas waited a little impatiently, and simply grabbed her jade hand and forced the apple into it.

This sudden movement made Hipponuoer even more stunned, looking up at the face of Qingtian God with sparkling eyes, he almost forgot to move, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~ so overbearing, what should I do? Is he Want to kiss me? Should I stick out my tongue, will that be immodest? What if I have a child? Will it be as tall as him?"
