Ares, God of War

Maiya, the goddess of wind and rain, wanted to follow, but was stopped by Ares. Due to the fierceness of the God of War, she did not dare to continue to follow, and could only watch helplessly as her son was killed by two vicious male gods. To be taken away.

After all, it was Hermes himself who was mischievous about this matter, and even Zeus declared that Hermes would return the bull. It would be useless for her Maia to object, but it would cause Ares and Apollo for no reason. The hostile god.

Under the guidance of Hermes, Ares and Apollo grabbed him by one arm and carried him directly to a hidden cave under the Arcadia Mountain.

The entrance of this cave is very narrow, only two people can pass through side by side, but it is quite spacious after entering, and there is a huge open space inside, and the complex cave inside has even been divided into living room, bedroom and other areas. Not long ago, the goddess of wind and rain When Maia was hunted down by Hera because of her affair with Zeus, Hermes was quietly born in this cave.

The divine bulls of Apollo were also here. Seeing his herd, the God of Light let go of Hermes, went to the herd and counted the number of divine bulls, and found that the number of divine bulls was indeed as large as that of Hermes. According to Si, except for killing two heads to sacrifice to the gods, he did not move the rest.

Hermes himself is also a god, so there is no need to think about who the god he sacrifices to. In the whole world, only God King Zeus is eligible to enjoy the sacrifice of another god. Therefore, Zeus just showed up to speak, and other The intention is to let Apollo and Ares give up revenge on Hermes mother and son, and give his old father a face.

"You saw it too, can I go?"

Seeing that Apollo finished counting the cattle, Hermes struggled a little, looked at Ares helplessly, and asked.

"No way, brother." Ares said with a smile: "We haven't finished this matter yet. If you steal a cow, you steal a cow. We don't believe it happened when we sacrificed to the gods, but you can't let us do this for nothing." Come on."

"That's right." Apollo also came over, and nodded in agreement with Ares' words: "It doesn't matter how much, but you have to give some compensation, right?"

While talking, the two main gods were like two hooligans, pushing the junior student Hermes to the wall of the cave, grabbing him and not letting him go.

Hermes desperately asked his father for help, but Zeus ignored him at all. Presumably, the king of the gods also recognized the statement of Ares and Apollo.

So, the god of thieves could only sigh in his heart, and then took out a turtle shell from his arms. There were strings on the shell, which looked like a musical instrument.

"Oh?" Apollo's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he hurriedly asked, "What is this? Qin?"

"This is an instrument I invented. It's called the lyre. I made it out of turtle shells and sheep intestines." Hermes looked at the turtle shell in his hand, feeling a little bit reluctant, but still handed it to him silently. Apollo: "I take this as an apology, can I?"

"Yes." Apollo patted him on the shoulder, then pulled the violin from the tortoise shell, and played a few simple notes lovingly, with a happy expression on his face.

Before Hermes could breathe a sigh of relief, Ares suddenly approached him and asked anxiously, "Where's mine?"

"Uh, brother..." Hermes scratched his head in embarrassment, and whispered, "I don't seem to have anything on me..."

"How come." Ares pointed to the shoes with wings on his feet, "I think your shoes are not bad."

"I can't give this to you!" Hermes bent down in horror and protected his shoes: "This is my lifeblood!"

"Then you have to express it." Ares said disappointedly.

Hermes thought for a while, then snapped his fingers: "Then, can you see this?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and suddenly called out a golden staff with a pair of wings on its head and two snakes coiled on the staff.

"This wand is a toy my mother gave me." Hermes handed the wand to Ares with some reluctance: "It has the magic power to make people fall asleep, do you think it will work?"

Ares grabbed it, took the coiled snake rod, weighed it in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Ha, it feels good in the hand, and it can be used to hit people in the future!"

After finishing speaking, he let go of Hermes' shoulders, and patted his head at the same time: "That's right, kid, you're on the right track, and when you come to Mount Olympus, I'll cover you! "

Chapter 49. Praise for your great energy

When he learned that it was Hermes who was going to follow Apollo to meet, Ares already had the idea of ​​pulling wool.

This kid is different from independent gods such as Apollo and Artemis. He has stood firmly on the side of Zeus from the very beginning. He is an untrustworthy and non-negotiable unit, and this kid also acts as Zeus behind For a person like Ares who has a lot of secrets, the weaker he is, the louder he will be.

In fact, Ares originally wanted to snatch him the flying wing shoes that he depended on for a living. If he lost these shoes, the god Hermes would also be abolished, but Zeus couldn't just watch him One of his sons poached the other son's original artifact. What he wanted was checks and balances between his sons and daughters. If everyone involved each other, no one could threaten him, but if one son was too strong, it would be inappropriate.

However, it was nothing for Ares to snatch Hermes' snake rod. He remembered that this magic rod has the ability to make people fall asleep, although it is not as good as Hypnos, the god of sleep in Greek mythology. It can make the god king Zeus fall into a deep sleep, but at least this magic wand has the ability to make the hundred-eyed giant Argos fall into a deep sleep.

With this coiled snake rod, Ares has a lot more room to maneuver in his future plans.

Another Apollo, who came to inquire about the crime, also obtained a new musical instrument from Hermes. Obviously, this instrument called "lyre" was loved by Apollo, who was in charge of music. Even the latter, regardless of Ares' dissuasion, insisted on giving two divine bulls, one male and one female, to his younger brother.

Whether it was Ares or Apollo, they were very satisfied with the harvest of this trip. After returning from Arcadia, Apollo immediately took the lyre and went to talk to his own gods, the muses. We went to study the matching sheet music together.

And Ares created a groundhog familiar who is good at burrowing, and brought Hermes' snake rod all the way to Hecate's tree palace, and handed the magic rod to his hand.

After carefully collecting his "spoils" this time, Ares threw the avatar back on the throne of the Temple of War on Mount Olympus, and then continued to advance his plan to train the group of humans.

A few days later, at noon one day, when Ares' body was sitting in the garden in front of the Hecate Tree Palace, thinking hard about the magic problem he had created for himself, a portal suddenly appeared here , Then, Hecate, with a tired face, slowly walked out of the portal.

When she just stepped out of the portal, she was still a tall and perfect figure, with the appearance of a beautiful woman with purple hair reaching her waist. After taking two steps, she turned back into the appearance of a little girl as if she was discouraged.

Seeing Hecate's sudden return, Ares blinked, then stood up abruptly, and greeted Hecate.

"Teacher, you're back." He pulled a smiling face and asked Hecate, "What is that big Rubik's Cube that you have researched?"

"Not yet, I'm not strong enough alone." Hecate yawned and shook his head: "Let's talk about it after I recover."

"Oh." Ares nodded. At this time, Hecate looked behind her tree palace again, and asked while looking: "Where is my dog? Is it doing well these days when I am away?" Have you eaten? You didn’t dismantle anything of mine, did you?”

She wanted to go to the kennel at the back to check on Cerberus, but Ares took a step across calmly, and then used his height advantage to block Hecate's sight.

"Teacher, don't worry, that heartless dog should eat and sleep these few days, and he is living a healthy life." He forced a smile, and said warmly to Hecate: "You look very tired, hurry up!" Go and rest, come, come, I'll help you lay the mattress, cover the quilt, okay?"

After finishing speaking, Ares pushed Hecate's back, trying to push her into the tree palace, but the goddess of the moon stopped hard, she turned to look at Ares, and asked:

"What's the matter with you? Did you do something in my house while I was away? You would never show me such a disgusting smile at ordinary times. "

"I, what can I do?" Ares said, stomping his feet, looking sideways at the sky, and whistling.

"You definitely did something!" Hecate then turned and walked towards the backyard: "Get out of the way, let me go and have a look behind!"

"Hey, wait a minute, teacher." Ares stretched out his arms, trying to stop Hecate, but when he hugged Hecate's waist, Hecate in front of him It suddenly turned into a phantom, turning into a purple butterfly and flying away, and behind him, the figure of the goddess of the moon had quietly appeared there, walking towards the backyard.

【Oh, forget it, anyway, it's impossible to really hide it from her. 】Aris looked at the purple butterflies all over the sky, and thought to himself: 【On the road of magic, I still have a long way to go. 】
