Ares does not want to fall in love [Greek mythology]

How complicated Persephone's mood was, Adonis did not know.He had just arrived at the Temple of War God, and he couldn't help feeling curious when he thought that this was the place where Ares lived all year round.

Adonis thought that the place where the god of war lived would be very different from the dense forest of Cyprus, but it was not the case.The Temple of War God is located alone in a lush forest. Looking from a distance, you can only see a white colonnade standing silently, like a lonely brave man chanted in an epic.

Everything in Ares' palace is simple, and there are no guest rooms or anything.When Adonis came, he directly separated the side sleeper.

The matter in Cyprus finally came to an end. Ares had a good night's rest, and the next day he excitedly took Adonis to hunt around.

The god with good deeds heard that the handsome plant god lived in the palace of the God of War, so he specially ran to the palace of the God of War, wanting to see what the rumored male god who even the passionate Aphrodite fell for looked like.

The spectators don't think it's a big deal, and Ares doesn't think it's a big deal. No matter who comes, just treat it as someone who came for a fight, and beat them up one by one.But within a day, the Temple of War God returned to its former tranquility.

Adonis liked Ares's simple and rude way of handling more and more.He felt that this male god was really simple and straightforward, unlike other gods in Olympus who liked to play tricks.Fortunately, he possesses powerful force, which preserved this precious frankness for him.

In the blink of an eye, Adonis had already lived in the Temple of War God for half a month.He was not at all unaccustomed to it. On the contrary, because the Temple of War God was very quiet and he had hunting partners, he was more comfortable than in Cyprus.

After the predicament in Cyprus was resolved, I don’t know how the chief priest of the sacrifice knew the identity of Adonis, and spread it everywhere in various towns that it was the enthusiastic plant god Adonis who helped them out of their predicament.People who are grateful to the plant gods spontaneously built temples and worshiped the plant gods.Gaining the power of faith, Adonis also transformed from a low-level god to a high-level god full of divine power.

On this day, Adonis had just finished sharing the sumptuous sacrifice with Ares when he felt a heavy object appear in his palm.That thing's tentacles are smooth and slippery, and it's icy and cool.Adonis opened his palm and saw that it was a crystal clear sapphire.

Adonis knew that there was a custom in the world to enshrine the mined gemstones to the gods, but he did not expect that he would also receive such an offering.Adonis didn't like these pearly things, but seeing the magnificent gems in his hand, he suddenly felt moved.

Ares found that Adonis has been a little strange recently.As an energetic young god, Adonis went to bed earlier and later and woke up later and later.Could it be that hunting consumed too much of his energy, so that he couldn't help sinking into the arms of the sleepy god?

Ares is a person who can't hide his words. With such doubts, he just asked out.Adonis shook his head and said, "Ares, you don't have to worry about it. I'd be happy to hunt with you. It's just that I have other things to do recently, and I need to take up some free time."

Ares was curious: "What is it?"

Adonis just smiled.

Another day of hunting is over.Adonis has advanced by leaps and bounds during this period, his divine power has become more abundant, and his combat ability has also been significantly improved.

Raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Adonis and Ares sat on the ground together, sharing the fruits of the hunt.

Roasted a hare and had a delicious meal.Adonis suddenly said, "Aris, I have something for you."

"What?" Before Adonis could answer, Ares guessed: "Helmet? Steel armor? Spear? Sword?"

neither.

Adonis took out a small box from his arms, he opened it, and there lay two carefully polished sapphires in the red velvet.The gem was shining brightly, as dazzling as a war god burning in flames.

"It's a gem." Such a gift was beyond Ares' expectations, but it didn't quite suit him.He prefers practical things to gems.

Adonis didn't feel lost because of Ares's exposed emotions. He said, "Aris, give me your sword, and I will set it with gems for you."

Ares froze for a moment, took out the sword, and handed it to Adonis.

Recently, Ares has been obsessed with hunting, and he doesn't go out to fight with others. Naturally, this sword is useless.When it was commonly used in the past, Ares regarded the sword as extremely important, and the gems inlaid on it were carefully selected, and he had to stroke it with his hands from time to time to show his cherishment.

On the way to the underworld, Ares took two gems from the sword, gave one to Charon and the other to Hermes. Although he didn't care much about it, Adonis remembered it. heart.When the believer offered the gem, he immediately thought of Ares and the broken sword.

Dissatisfied with the workmanship of human craftsmen, Adonis cut the magnificent sapphire into two pieces by himself and polished them carefully.

Ares looked at Adonis.The handsome plant god lowered his head, and he was very attentive and meticulous when setting the gemstones. From his angle, he could only see the side face bestowed by the gods. His eyelashes seemed to rub against people's hearts every time he flapped his fan.

Ares is once again captivated by Adonis.He thought, no wonder those goddesses chase after Adonis. Who would not be moved by such a handsome and considerate male god?

When he was done, Adonis returned the sword to the heroic god of war.Taking over his beloved sword, Ares lovingly caressed the sapphire on the hilt, showing a bright smile.

The warm sunshine in spring lingers on the beautiful scenery of Olympus, unwilling to leave.Ares saw that it was still early, and said enthusiastically, "Adonis, I'm going to fight Hermes. Do you want to go with me?"

Adonis was a little puzzled, not knowing how Hermes provoked him again.But there is no doubt that traveling with Ares will be much more interesting than staying in the Temple of War.Adonis naturally did not refuse.

The poor envoy Hermes had just finished running errands for the god king Zeus, and before he could take a breath, he was caught by Ares.Ares waved the sword in his hand and said loudly: "Hermes, fight with me!"

Of course Hermes didn't want to, he was already very tired, and he wasn't interested in spending more energy with the reckless Ares.But Ares keenly grasped his weakness and said, "You will be paid to fight with me, and you will benefit from this fight."

Hermes, who is extremely talented in business, felt that it was profitable. His heart moved, and he asked: "Beneficiary? Do you mean learning more fighting skills?" Ares would care about that kind of thing, but it didn't matter to him. It doesn't matter.

Ares shook his head and said, "No, I will give you three emeralds as a reward."

Hermes rolled his eyes and bargained: "I'm very tired today..."

Ares interrupted him, and said cheerfully: "Five yuan, stop talking nonsense!"

Seeing Ares squandering the hard-won gems like this, Adonis couldn't help frowning.Hermes was very satisfied with the result, and immediately conjured up the Double Snake Staff joyously, and fought with Ares.

The fight ended quickly, and Hermes sat slumped on the ground, only feeling that Ares fought very hard today, without showing any mercy.He thought, if he didn't have eight emeralds next time, he wouldn't fight this brute force god of war again!

What made Hermes unacceptable was yet to come.Even if Ares won the battle, he was still complacent in front of him: "Hey, Hermes, do you think I'm particularly brave today!"

Hermes was speechless.After beating him up so hard, this battle madman still wants to hear him praise him for his bravery?

Hermes was slandering in his heart, only to see Ares holding his sword high.The exhausted envoy felt dizzy when he saw the epee, and waved his hands again and again: "Ares, don't continue, let's save the more intense fighting for next time!"

There is also "next time", of course Ares did not refuse: "Okay, Hermes, you need to strengthen your training, we will fight next time! I came to you today, in fact, I mainly want to show you -"

Ares raised the sword higher, and flexibly turned his wrist, showing Hermes the full view of the two sapphires on the epee.

Hermes stared straight into the eyes and didn't know what Ares wanted him to see. In his opinion, the sword was no different from usual.

I just heard Ares happily ask: "How is it? Is the sapphire on the sword beautiful?"

Hermes didn't expect him to have the time to show off the gems. He never knew that Ares cared so much about the appearance of the weapon, so he nodded perfunctorily while thinking about it.

Ares didn't care about Hermes' response at all, he was still caught in the excitement of a person: "Aren't these two gems particularly magnificent and exquisite? I think I must have behaved so bravely in the fight today. It was my dear friend Adonis who inspired me to fight through the two sapphires he gave me!"

Hermes: "???"

Ares grinned, shouldered the epee, and turned his head to look at Adonis, the god of plants.Adonis caught his gaze and smiled back at him warmly.

It turned out that this guy went around in such a big circle, showing off his gifts, showing off his precious friendship!

Hermes felt that those five emeralds could not make up for the wounds in his heart at all, and he was seriously hurt!The harm is not in the flesh | body, but in the heart!

In the future, he will never agree to fight with Ares again. Not only will he have to taste the result of failure, but he will also be shown off like this, which is too hateful!

unless……

Unless Ares gives him ten gems next time, ten different styles!
