Ares, God of War

"I'm going to help the god deal with that monster."

Ares did not hide anything, and directly told these servants what his avatar had done with Zeus before, and at the same time pointed to the giant Typhon standing in the distance and said:

"Look, Zeus has already held the thunderbolt in his hands, that giant is about to be defeated. Let's not be affected, let's find a place to hide first."

Everyone looked up at the terrifying scene like the end of the world in the distance, and then they all agreed with Ares's suggestion. So, under the leadership of Ares, a group of servants ran back to Typhon's cave, engaged in A dove occupies the magpie's nest.

No way, within a radius of hundreds of miles, this cave is the safest, and Hydera was also beaten away by him and Athena before, and he probably dare not come back here for a while .

Ares led the team and stayed in the cave for two days. He waited until his divine clone saw that Zeus had completely defeated Typhon, then brought the team out, and then continued on the road.

Chapter 18. Start building the city (tenth)

While Ares was busy cutting Typhon with his divine avatar and stripping the materials as trophies, he was not idle on Cadmus' side. He led the team as Cadmus and continued towards the continent of Europa. and go.

After Ares' divine power clone completed the behavior of pulling wool from Typhon, Cadmus also successfully reached his goal.

Because Ares remembered the myth, his goal was very clear, and that was Delphi. This city was built under the protection of Apollo, the god of light, and it was very prosperous because it was covered by a main god.

The most popular in the city of Delphi is the Delphi Temple in the city, which is the temple mainly dedicated to Apollo. People from all over the Greek world like to go there to pray, because Apollo is also the god of prophecy. These people can go to the temple and ask the high priest for the prophecy of Apollo.

Although some time ago because of the riots caused by Typhon, Apollo took his family and fled to an area of ​​Egypt on the edge of the Greek world, which caused the Temple of Delphi to be "closed" for a period of time, but Zeus defeated Tiphon. After Feng, these escaped gods received wind and returned to Mount Olympus one after another.

Apollo ran the fastest and came back the fastest. Among the main gods who escaped from Mount Olympus, he and his sister Artemis were the first to return to Olympus. Afterwards, the Temple of Delphi also resumed business and opened its doors to receive guests.

Ares led the team to the city. He estimated that the matter of Cadmus had been handed over to Athena by Zeus. After a while, someone would take the initiative to tell him about Europa and his future.

Ares also made up his mind that if no one came by then, he would go to the Temple of Delphi by himself and ask his good brother Apollo for a lottery.

Sure enough, when Ares came to Delphi with his servants, just as he found a place to stay, a priest from the Temple of Delphi came to him, saying that the high priest of the Temple of Delphi had a prophecy from God to hand over to him. give him.

Ares asked his servants to wait here for the time being, and then followed the priest to the Temple of Delphi, where he met the high priest of Apollo.

After performing a series of sacrificial activities with the high priest, the high priest brought Ares to the holy spring of Castellia, and through the water of the holy spring, Ares finally saw the radiant light there God Phoebus Apollo.

After a few days away, the main god who was the first to run to Egypt with oil on the soles of his feet still looks majestic and handsome. There is no sign that he has had the disgraceful experience of being cowardly before fighting. Ares is very envious of Apollo. This kind of person who was born with the talent of a movie star, the switching of expression, demeanor and temperament is seamless, and he doesn't even need to learn. You know, in order to play the gods, he usually spends time in Hecate's garden when he is free. Li Ke has practiced these things a lot, and is often laughed at by his unscrupulous teacher.

But now there is a layer of skin called "Cadmus", and Ares can't just walk up and hammer Apollo's shoulder as usual. The moment he saw the main god appearing, he immediately showed In a very pious gesture, he bent down to salute Apollo.

"Great Apollo, I have come to ask for a prophecy."

"Well, I already know your purpose." Apollo nodded lightly and smiled, acting like an omniscient god: "Your sister Europa has become the concubine of the king of the gods. She will Spread branches and leaves on another continent and become the ancestor of human beings there, you don’t have to look for her anymore.”

"But." Ariston frowned, showing great sorrow but not daring to speak out, and said, "When we left Phoenicia, the king of Phoenicia asked us to find my sister, otherwise We can't go back, so now I can't go back."

"It doesn't matter, you helped Zeus defeat Typhon, the gods will never forget your achievements." Apollo said to Ares: "You take the team, go out from here, go all the way west, there, you will Meet a cow in a lonely pasture, unyokeed, and it will carry you straight on. While it rests in the grass, you can build a city there, Name it Thebes, and this city will be your home."

"I understand."

Ares expressed his gratitude to Apollo again with a pious meaning, and waited until the figure of the main god disappeared from the spring, he stood up, bid farewell to the priests and priests in the Delphi Temple, and then rested for two days. On the next day, after replenishing dry food and water, he led the team and continued to set off in accordance with Apollo's instructions.

Walking on the road, Ares also began to think about other issues. In the myth, after Cadmus arrived at the location of Thebes, he met the poisonous dragon sent by Ares, the god of war. , after this avatar becomes a heroic spirit, some abilities and treasures are probably closely related to this epic. After all, apart from helping Zeus confuse Typhon, Cadmus' most heroic experience is single-handedly killing Ares. Duron.

But now, Ares himself does not remember that he has sent any monsters to the ground, let alone raised a dragon, so he is also a little curious, what kind of method the gods will use to accomplish his feat .

With such doubts, Ares continued on the road. After walking for two days, they met an unyoked cow on a lonely pasture. When they saw Ares and others, the cow Not afraid, it just barked, then turned and walked forward.

Ares stood where he was, first pretending to express his gratitude to Apollo, and then led the team to follow the cow. They followed the cow through the shallow water of Kefissos, and then the cow stood on the ground. The shore didn't go away, it turned around, looked at Cadmus and his entourage who were following behind, raised its head and yelled loudly, and then lay down contentedly in the deep green grass.

Ares looked around and found that this is indeed an area suitable for establishing a city-state. The surrounding grass is rich and adjacent to the river. It is very suitable for the development of agriculture or animal husbandry. There is a dense forest next to it. There are fruit trees in the forest. Spring water can be said to be quite rich in natural resources.

He pretended to be moved in front of the servants, and then told the servants behind him:

"I came here under the guidance of Zeus and Apollo, and I am destined to become the king of the city-state here. If you follow me, you will also be the nobles and famous families of the city-state in the future."

When the servants heard the words, they all expressed excitedly that they were driven by His Royal Highness in this life, and they would not hesitate to die.

"Okay, don't say too much."

Ares waved:

"Let's do a sacrifice to Zeus first, and then start preparing to build the city!"

ps: Ten changes are over, and there will be five changes tomorrow.

Chapter 19. Is that you?Athena (first update)

Considering the plot in the original heroic epic, Ares did not let his servants go deep into the nearby forest to die.

In the original myth, they were wiped out because they met the poisonous dragon raised here by Ares, the god of war, in the forest, so that Cadmus killed the poisonous dragon and used the dragon's teeth to make dragon teeth. Soldiers, thus becoming heroes.

But myths are myths, now is now, these servants have followed me all the way, and I am not a villain, so I will protect those who can easily save it.

So he first took these servants to search nearby, and successfully found a village. Taking the supplies they bought from Delphi, he exchanged two cows with these villagers. In the process, Ari Si Shun asked:

"Excuse me, do you know where there is a clear spring near here? I want to get some clean water to make a sacrifice to the gods."

"Clear spring water? As for spring water, there is one deep in the nearby forest, but..."

Speaking of this, the faces of these villagers showed a look of hesitation.

"But what?" Ares asked hurriedly.

"There is a poisonous dragon in that forest." Several villagers looked at each other, and finally an old man said tremblingly: "When there is not enough food in the forest during a famine year, that poisonous dragon will crawl out and devour the surrounding area. It has three snake-like tongues, a giant python-like body, and three pairs of wings on its back, and the poisonous gas it spits out can directly turn the bodies of a dozen people into pus."

"Poisonous dragon?" Ares slapped his thigh and said to the villagers: "What's so scary? I got the blessing of the God of War and came here under the guidance of the gods. I am destined to build the city of Thebes here and become The king here, a poisonous dragon is making trouble in my territory? Don't be afraid, I have an artifact bestowed by the God of War, and I will kill it today."

After finishing speaking, he deliberately showed the villagers the coiled snake rod and machete knife he had given him to show his strength.
