Ares, God of War

"Yes, this is Ares, God of War." Goddess Leto looked helplessly at Hecate's tired look, "Hecate, have you been staying up all night again?"

"It's okay, just do a small experiment, I won't really die suddenly." Hecate walked in front of Cerberus, patted the vicious three-headed dog casually, then looked up at Leto asked, "Then, why did you come to see me today? Why didn't you see Apollo and Artemis, huh?"

"Both of them are very busy now." Leto smiled, and then said to Hecate: "Actually, I brought a person here today to learn magic from you."

"Teacher? Who is it?" Hecate looked around, and then focused on Ares: "Could it be him?"

"Yes, that's him." Leto nodded with a smile.

"Ah? Are you out of your mind?" Hecate trotted over, turned around Ares with his hands behind his back, looked at him and asked, "You are a god of war, you want to learn magic from me?"

"What? Can't I learn?" Ares asked back, crossing his arms.

Hecate murmured in amazement: "Even the Cyclops came to me to learn magic, I think it is more reliable than God of War learning magic. Hey, why do you want to learn magic?"

"I want to avenge Athena!" Ares yelled plausibly: "As long as I learn magic, I can definitely beat her!"

"Magic is not something you can use to compete." Hecate sighed.

"Hecate, Ares helped us and your mother Asteria, for the sake of us and your mother, let him try here." Leto came In front of Hecate, interceding for Ares.

"Okay—let's go." Hecate looked at Ares, and continued: "Anyway, the son of Zeus must have no problems with his magic aptitude, it depends on whether you have the patience and wisdom to learn it... I agreed in advance , I don’t care if you are the God of War or the son of Zeus, as long as you don’t follow my rules, then I will kick you out, okay?”

"Yeah!" Ares nodded vigorously: "In order to defeat Athena, I will listen to you for a while!"

"Then I'll leave first." Seeing that Hecate agreed to Ares' request, Leto felt relieved. She looked at Ares and said to him, "Don't worry, Ares. Zeus is going to create new things on the earth, and he originally planned to let you temporarily stop waging wars, so you should stay here for the time being and learn from Hecate."

"it is good."

Ares nodded to Leto.

After finishing speaking, the goddess in black rode away on the cloud and returned to Mount Olympus. Hecate watched Leto go away, and then sighed: "Oh, what a wonderful aunt, what a wonderful lady! That bastard Zeus is cheap."

Hearing her words, Ares nodded seriously.

"Hey, aren't you angry that I slandered your father behind his back?" Hecate asked Ares a little strangely when he saw this.

"Hera has long complained about Zeus' behavior." Ares replied: "Besides, the daughter of Zeus and the goddess Metis took away my priesthood not long ago."

"No wonder, it seems that he is really unpopular." Hecate laughed and said, "This guy deserves to be killed by his own son in the future."

Ares's heart moved. It seems that the goddess of the moon also foresaw the future of Zeus, but he pretended to be surprised on the surface and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. If you can learn one-tenth of my magic, you will understand what I mean." Hecate waved his hand and said, "Come in with me."

Ares followed the goddess of the moon into her palace. In this tree palace, there is only one extremely spacious room, which does not have the standard configuration of the temples of the Greek gods such as gods, baths, and observatories. This room is directly a huge library. A total of five floors of tall bookcases are lined up in the palace. All kinds of stone slabs and papyrus that record mysterious knowledge are filled with these cabinets.

And Hecate herself also lives here, her bed is a simple hammock woven from vines, with a few warm animal skins placed on the hammock as bedding, besides, there are also There are some unfinished papyrus scattered around, and her bedding is also messy at this time.

However, Hecate herself didn't seem to care about letting Ares see her casual life. After she brought Ares into her palace, she walked and said, "Although I promised Leto to take you Be an apprentice, but I don't have the patience to teach you word by word like feeding a baby. As the son of Zeus, as long as you haven't been beaten in the brain, you can probably understand the books on the introduction to magic. I'll give you a few books, you read them first, and then ask me if you don't understand anything, do you hear me?"

"Understood." Ares nodded.

So Hecate took Ares to the innermost bookshelf in the palace, and took out a few stone slabs from the counters on the first and second floors. Then, she tiptoed again, intending to go to Take a slate placed on the counter on the fourth floor, but her current height is really limited, so she gritted her teeth and tried hard for a long time, but she still couldn't get the slate.

However, just when Ares was about to go up to help, he suddenly saw the goddess turn around on the spot, and the whole person suddenly turned into a sixteen or seventeen-year-old purple-haired girl with her skirt flying, and then relaxed Removed the slate from the counter.

Seeing her performance, Ares froze for a moment. At that moment just now, he didn't feel any fluctuations in divine power, so he asked curiously, "Is this also magic?"

"Huh?" Hecate looked down at himself, and then replied, "No, this is an appearance of mine."

After all, she stacked these stone slabs together, put them in Ares's hand, and said to him: "Here, take it, read the things on these slates, and then you should get started. gone."

Chapter 15. Want to fart

The magic of the age of gods is completely different from the magic of later generations.

The magic of the later generations was created when the source of magic power was gradually exhausted, and they had to go through a very cumbersome process before their birth, that is, to engrave the system of magic in the form of religion or learning. In the world above, if this step is lacking, the magicians with thin blood in the later generations will have no way to use magic in an environment where the magic power is exhausted.

The magic of the Age of Gods is fundamentally different from this "formal" magic, because it was born in the era when the gods walked on the earth, and they were fragments of the authority of the gods who continued the roots from the beginning. This kind of magic does not require magic circuits, rituals or cumbersome sacrifices. It can be released as long as you know the spell, and because it is directly connected to the root, this kind of magic can also be used in the environment of later generations.

Moreover, in this era when human beings have not yet been fully born in the world, there is no magic in the magic of the age of gods, all of them are magic, because the so-called magic is something that humans cannot do through other means. People with certain conditions travel back, even if they bring a lighter, the lighter will become "ignition magic".

For Ares, this is both a kind of luck and a kind of misfortune. There is no need to say more about the unfortunate things. Ares believes that no one who knows Kui Tuzi is willing to face him as the God of War, but the lucky one However, in this era, Ares wants to get close to the root and explore those supreme mysteries, at least it is much easier than later generations.

Just like the slate he is holding now, it was produced by Hecate, the Greek goddess of magic. Although it is a beginner's guide to magic, it is all written in the language of gods. Ares estimates If I throw these slabs of stone into the clock tower of later generations, the monarchs there will beat all the shit out in order to compete for this slate.

Fortunately, although his account in this world will be canceled sooner or later, it is an authority account. As one of the gods and the extremely important main god Ares, he can naturally read these obscure gods easily and freely. The text, the content written on it, is also easy to understand for him now, almost like a math textbook in elementary school.

It is not difficult for the gods to learn magic, but they themselves are the gods who are the embodiment of power. Many despise magic as power fragments at all, but gods like Ares who are full of motivation and patience for their lives , It is easy to learn and absorb these things.

After getting Hecate's "Beginner's Textbook", Ares randomly found a corner in the tree palace, sat down and read it quietly.

On the other side, after returning to her hammock, Hecate, who was transformed into a girl, has changed back to the shape of a little girl. She jumped on her hammock and continued to complete the half-written magic theory, and then He reached out and tossed these papyrus gently.

After these pieces of papyrus left her palm, they floated up by themselves, wrapped themselves in mid-air, and then automatically found a suitable space on the cabinet in the tree palace, and put themselves in it.

After all this was done, Hecate yawned again, she pouted her mouth, and wanted to go to sleep to replenish her energy, but when she thought that there was a son of Zeus with a violent personality in her palace, Hecate Intuit was a little worried.

Immediately, she decided to take a look at the situation of Ares.

In her own palace, Ares's whereabouts could not be concealed from the eyes of the goddess of the moon. In her perception, Ares's boiling divine power was as conspicuous as a torch in the dark.

But when she walked around the bookshelves and came to the corner where Ares was, she was shocked by the God of War in front of her.

"Is this really the God of War?" Looking at the red-haired man sitting cross-legged on the ground in the corner and quietly looking at the slate, Hecate even felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.

I'm afraid even Zeus couldn't have imagined such a scene. His son with the most violent personality would now be nestled in a corner, holding a stone tablet carved with obscure and mysterious knowledge in his hand, watching quietly.
