The fully equipped sailboat with frigates has three decks, like a moving castle at sea, sailing at a constant speed on the endless waves of the Adriatic Sea.

I was in the observation deck of the cabin, watching the sun shining brightly, the seabirds circling, and occasionally I could see the huge reef islands floating out of the sea-of course, they were not tied up to worship the princess of the Neptune.

This is Sasha's first sailing trip, and he is very excited. He likes to stand on the side of the ship and watch the vast ocean. Sisyphus, who was born on a Greek island, acts as a good teacher: just like a living book. Dictionary, he knows that the fish that skim the sea like a flock of birds are called purple fin rays, and they are not afraid of humans, and the ones playing around the hull are killer whales----Sasha's laughter always fills my ears inside.

Moreover, Sisyphus also took advantage of the scene to tell stories to Sasha, popularizing the origin of the dispute between Athena and Poseidon that has been handed down from the age of mythology.

"The god who can provide the most useful gifts to mankind will become the patron saint of the Greek city. Poseidon, the king of the sea, transformed into a war horse with a trident. It is white and strong, and the horse is equipped with a shiny □□□□ , can carry soldiers to glory and victory."

"And the goddess Athena stretched out her hand and transformed into an olive tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, which can bear fruit full of trees and guide mankind to stability and prosperity—so, Athena won the victory."

As he spoke, he stared at Sasha, as if through this ten-year-old girl, he saw the goddess of wisdom and dexterity on Mount Olympia, leading the people to peace and prosperity—the eyes were undoubtedly full of loyalty and love.

See my mood, unhappy.There is something stuck in my throat but I can't say it.And seeing Sasha show Sisyphus the garland on his wrist, after turning around, I also looked around at the belongings I brought on board——

When the sea water turns from translucent emerald blue to dark blue, night gradually falls.A full moon rises above the sea level, and eyes are full of dazzling silver waves——The little girl reincarnated by Athena finally fell asleep, and I no longer need to hear her laughter, and I don’t need to see Sisyphus talking to her. Showing sincerity - I saw that tall and strong figure still looking at the sea on the deck, so I stepped forward.

"Our university student, history teacher Sisyphus, has finished his lectures and guidance during the day. Since he is still standing here, is there any course that he can teach me privately?"

Because I was on the boat and the weather was hot, I was only wearing a white shirt with wide sleeves and an open collar. My silver hair was rolled up and hung obliquely on my shoulders, looking casual and joking.

He smiled, waved his hands and said, "You are too famous, I just read some books in the library of Sanctuary. In terms of knowledge, Sanctuary has some talents who are better than me."

I smiled and said, "The sanctuary is really a good place where talents come out in large numbers, I'm even curious about it."

He has no interface to continue this topic.Just smiling gently, looking at the silver-cast ocean under the moonlight, letting the sea breeze gently blow his hair.

"By the way, Sisyphus, I really thank you for saving me that day, so I have a small gift for you." As I said that, I took something out of my pocket, spread it in my hand and handed it to him.

It is a sterling silver French pocket watch.The shell is intertwined with silver wisps intertwined with olive tree leaf patterns. Under the moonlight, the crystal clear surface is like... like a bright moon in the sky, lying gracefully in my hand and shining.

"You can carry it with you to check the time - Sisyphus, you have a lot of students to teach, and the daily schedule in the sanctuary is full, right?" I said with a smile.

"Mr. Minos--"

I raised my chin, "Call me Minos, or Luna--Sisyphus!" The tone was deliberately aggressive.

Under the bright moon on the sea, my fingers are like the most delicate ivory. "Don't you often leave the sanctuary to go out on missions? Wearing a pocket watch is just right!"

"Anyway, this is yours now, if you don't need it, just throw it into the sea."

Not allowing him to refuse, I even threw the wine glass into the sea, turned around and stood in front of him.

I stared at his amazingly clear eyes in the moonlight.I raised my lips and smiled, and stretched out my hand to him——before he was a little surprised, I had already stuffed something into the breast pocket of his shirt.

Fingertips inevitably touched his chest, firm and warm.Sisyphus' heart was beating vigorously under the whitest linen shirt.

I turned my head and told myself that what I should think is ----- the golden saint's chest can be penetrated so easily by me -- as long as I just do it, I can penetrate his faithful, fiery heart Heart, hold it in my hand.

The waves are the color of cast silver, and the breath of the ocean is vast and far-reaching.I stood still, watching the shadows of me and him on the deck being stretched indifferently and obliquely.Are you helpless?Sisyphus, that's how stubborn I am.

After a while, he raised his hand and touched his chest, "Thank you."

Perhaps to appease me from getting angry, Sisyphus accepted the gift - very solemnly, and fastened the watch chain firmly.

Seeing this, I showed my white teeth at him and smiled.satisfied.

He smiled too, indulgently.Under the moonlit night, the curved lips were glowing with a beautiful and warm color.

The next day, I noticed that he was using the pocket watch.At noon and when the sun sets on the sea level, I will take it out to have a look.The Roman numerals on it can tell him the time accurately.

I just don't know how many laps the slowest hand on this pocket watch can run on the day His Majesty Hades wakes up?

From that night onwards, Sisyphus and I seemed to have made a tacit agreement. Every night, we met on the terrace outside the ship for a moment, blowing the sea breeze in the middle of the night, looking at the ocean under the bright moon and stars, and drinking lightly. A few glasses of wine—I finally went from what Sisyphus called, "Mr. Minos," to, "Minos."

"You can also call me Luna, it's very special." I said with a smile, "This is Italian, which means moon."

"Sisyphus, it's Greek, repeated labor...cough cough." I smiled slightly, and stared at him with dark eyes, "You really have a hard-working fate, Sisyphus .”

He showed the gentle smile that I never get tired of, "Okay, Minos. How about tonight, I will show you the ruins of the ancient Temple of the Moon God—it's on the cliff in this sea area."

Oh?

"I once saw a collapsed statue when I was passing by the sea. Later, I went back to the sanctuary to check the information and found that this was the place where the moon god was worshipped thousands of years ago."

I looked at the softness on his face, and smiled again, "Look, this is called, the character and fate of hard work."

In my good mood, the ship glides like a wave of silvery silk.Soon, a cliff appeared on the left bank.The moonlight is just right tonight, and the dense wild olive trees are like silver-cast branches, embellishing the originally dark rocks brightly and holy-I saw a huge half-length afterimage standing alone on the island.

The afterimage is lonely and depressed, and it can be vaguely distinguished as marble.Although shrubs and weeds are overgrown in the corners, and although the baptism of time has long since collapsed, presumably in its heyday, the appearance of Artemis, the moon god, stood here. Her statue is like the moonlight at night, shrouded in halo, beautiful White people worship.

I stared blankly at this lost relic ----- frowning, as if vaguely remembering something far away... No, it's nothing more than a dilapidated ancient relic with only the toe skirt left, carved with Artemis The stones on Si's face probably sank into the deep sea forever with the collapse.

The god of the Holy Land of Olympia is not very unusual.Now there is a reincarnation, which flashes before my eyes every day.And Hades, the king of the underworld to whom I am loyal, is not one of the twelve main gods at all-although the end of everything is destruction, and the end of all characters is death.Humans refuse to believe in such a simple truth?

I looked at Sisyphus, whose expression could be said to be pious and gentle, and who was looking up at the huge afterimage, "Athena's warrior, why would he show such an expression to other goddesses? The moon god is not honored to be the protector of a Greek city." , so it was gradually forgotten.”

He smiled, his voice infinitely sentimental. "Every time I sail and pass by this ancient relic, I always stare at it—maybe I am moved by the beauty of the barrenness and the strength of the standing."

"I am a Greek, and I always hope that the gods on Mount Olympus are like Athena, guarding human beings. Even, they come to the world to be with us."

I let out a laugh, crossed my chest and said with a smile, "Athena's guardian warriors, if the moon god Artemis is in the world, you have to be careful. Didn't Athena always have disputes with Poseidon? And according to me Look, Artemis will definitely help Aquaman."

"Because, when Leto, the goddess of the night, was hunted down by the giant python, it was Neptune who saw it and gave him a helping hand. Artemis and Apollo were able to be born smoothly. Therefore, the moon god is likely to stand on the opposite side of Athena, At that time, will you, who is loyal to Athena, shake your fist at the moon god?" I teased him.

Sisyphus He did not answer, but there was no need to answer.

The wind has picked up, and the moonlight on the sea in the middle of the night has become cooler and clearer.The half afterimage of the moon god Artemis stood coldly, and the ship quickly turned her into the past.

Everything is so indisputable and certain.I stared at the silver watch chain exposed from his shirt----a saint who is only loyal to Athena, we are destined to be enemies, let's take it as a countdown record!
