Greece brings evildoers

At night, the dark moon rises into the sky, and its cool light shines on the courtyard.

As the door opened and closed, Thetis in the room hurriedly stuffed a book in her hand under the pillow, then stood up and asked as if nothing had happened.

"came back?"

Lorne nodded lightly, walked into the room, glanced at the words "Holy Words" on the cover, and was a little surprised: "What, you like this book too?"

Thetis coughed lightly and replied without saltiness: "It's just to kill time."

"Oh..." Lorne drawled, glancing at the marks of frequent folding on the pages, with a subtle smile in his eyes, "I can take up your precious time, it seems that you have a good opinion of this book. "

"It's not bad..." Thetis glanced at the teasing teammates in front of her, picked up the "Holy Dictionary" without hesitation, shook it, and lightly hummed, "If the author hadn't updated too slowly, the thickness would be just right now. Can be used as table legs.”

However, as he spoke, it seemed that due to the excessive movement, a piece of parchment fell from the page, and a few lines of beautiful handwriting came into Lorne's eyes.

"Noble Son of God! You shine like the sun,

Walk to the beach and sing loudly to the tide,

Pour the sound of joy into the sacred abyss,

There is a peaceful place in your heart, far away from the hustle and bustle of ships,

Hidden beneath the waves, in a peaceful cave.

There lives blue Thetis, the sea goddess, who protects you.

She is a close friend of poetry and wine, a wise nymph,

He once lovingly helped Dionysus in distress on the rocks.

Accompanying the gentle song of the waves, I open my arms to him who is tired..."

Thetis stepped forward and picked up the parchment on the ground with lightning speed, quickly put it into the book and stuffed it under the pillow. The whole set of actions was done in one go, without any pause.

But even before he finished reading it, Lorne already knew most of the remaining content of the poem.

Because, this poem was written by himself.

Of course, to be more precise, it is a work that he shamelessly plagiarized and tampered with based on the poem "Achilles" by the classical romantic poet Holderlin.

In fact, the purpose of doing this is to record the confrontation between the Thracian King Lycurgus and the Bacchus Dionysus on the island of Cyprus into the "Dictation" and enter a literary and artistic context that is beneficial to himself. beautify.

After all, the original poem content about the battle between the two sides in the future "Iliad" portrayed him too cheaply.

"Because he fought against the gods and once brought crazy

The nurse of Dionysus drove down sacred Mount Nysa,

They were beaten to death with goads by the murderer Lycurgus,

Dionysus escaped into the waves, and Thetis took the frightened Dionysus into her arms.

Mortal roars still make him tremble..."

However, due to adding too many private goods and beautifying his unscrupulous behavior of dragging a good family into trouble, Lorne accidentally took the style of this poem astray, making the encounter between him and Thetis, A little more ambiguous.

At that time, I considered recruiting the goddess of the sea to join the team, leaving some entangled words on paper to prevent her from jumping off the ship midway and stabbing her in the back.

Lorne simply made the mistake and added this hymn about the "friendship" between the two.

But as time has passed, and they have gone through many hardships, their relationship has long been stable and a subtle chemical reaction has developed.

Correspondingly, the meaning of this poem, which originally contained evil intentions, seems to become less and less interesting the more I think about it.

On the surface it's a compliment to friendship, but behind the scenes it's more of a show of love?

This answer appeared in Lorne's mind, and he couldn't help feeling a stomachache.

He now seemed to understand why Thetis was willing to take the risk and bring him to the underworld to find Adonis's soul.

"Ahem, let's get down to business." Thetis coughed lightly to break the silence in the room. Then she came to the door cautiously and looked warily at the dark courtyard through the crack in the door. After confirming that no one was there, she gently closed the door and set up a After being restrained, he turned back to look at his teammates: "Where are you outside? How's it going?"

"It's not good. The road outside has been blocked. The people responsible for leading the team are the God of Sleep and the Three Furies." Lorne looked away knowingly, spread his hands, and informed Thetis of the situation.

But then, after seeing Thetis frowning, he changed the topic: "But the good news is that I found the location of Adonis and the exit from the underworld. When the storm passes, the defense outside will be relaxed. , we can sneak out."

"Well, there are countless titans, gods, monsters and sinful souls imprisoned in the underworld. It is impossible to stop for too long for just one or two people."

Thetis nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and made a rational analysis.

"So, we just need to hide here for a while and wait and see what happens?"

"That's right."

"Okay, I understand, you go back and rest first."

Lorne stood in the room without moving, coughing dryly and speaking.

"There is only one empty room, which King Minos urgently packed up for us to hide in..."

"What about Sisyphus?"

"He is being held in a makeshift prison at the trial facility."

"..."

Thetis was speechless, an unnatural blush appeared on her face, and her eyes hesitated.

Seeing that the person on the other side had misunderstood, Lorne quickly said: "Don't worry, I'll sleep down there and you sleep on the bed. I'm running for my life, it's only for a few days, and I will never disturb you."

Hearing the other party's assurance, Thetis was obviously relieved and took out a quilt to prepare a temporary resting place for this reliable ally.

As the night deepened, Thetis on the bed tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, looking under the bed from time to time.

The cheeks bathed in the moonlight, the eyebrows were like swords, the nose was straight, the closed eyes revealed a calm and elegant bookish air, the facial lines were soft and delicate, and the overall facial features were under the appearance of handsomeness and beauty, revealing a wild and unruly, which made people's heart beat.

But...

Thetis looked at it for a long time and sighed faintly.

"What's wrong? Are you worried?" The low and warm voice echoed in the bedroom, and Lorne, who closed his eyes, opened his mouth to ask.

Obviously, he still maintained a little vigilance against the outside world and did not fall asleep completely.

What about just now?

Thetis realized that her every move before was clearly sensed by someone next to her, and a blush appeared on her beautiful face.

Lorne, who was lying on the floor, smiled and opened his eyes, turning his head to look at the bed on the side.

"If you can't sleep, why not tell me what's bothering you?"

The two purple eyes in the dark were like a pair of crystal clear gems.

"Yes, there is..." Thetis nodded, but then changed the subject, "But you can't help me."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Lorne smiled and retorted, and promised softly, "Don't worry, when you get out of the underworld, tell me as soon as possible if there is any trouble that needs to be solved, and I will do my best to help."

As he said that, Lorne blinked, his tone teasing.

"After all, I still owe you three favors."

However, the depression on Thetis's face not only did not ease a bit because of Lorne's witty words, but became even heavier.

"If that trouble is..."

The voice stopped abruptly, Thetis bit her lip, and turned her head away in frustration.

"Forget it, go to bed early."

"Okay! I will help you clear the trouble, no matter who the other party is!"

Accompanied by the resounding murmur in the ear, the figure on the floor raised his hand and pointed upward.

"...Swear in the name of the River Styx!"

Hearing the solemn promise, Thetis's somewhat dead heart could not help but ripple, and her face was moved.

Seeing that the gloom on the ally's eyebrows had been diluted, a faint smile appeared in Loen's eyes.

What can make this sea goddess worry is nothing more than Zeus's covetousness and fear.

Even if she carries the prophecy that "her son will eventually surpass his father", she is not safe, and her marriage may be out of her control.

That's why Thetis frowned after seeing the "love poem".

And for Loen, brushing Zeus is a matter of time.

One sheep is driven, and two sheep are also released.

Since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well take this opportunity to improve Thetis's favor and reassure the sea goddess who had helped him a lot recently.

Thinking of this, Loen stretched and closed his eyes happily.

"Reassured? Then I can sleep?"

"Well..."

Thetis nodded gently, and then no longer resisted the sleepiness in her mind, and fell asleep peacefully.

This time, she slept very sweetly and felt particularly at ease.

The next day, Loen, who had finished drinking with King Minos as usual, walked into the bedroom and found that his floor bed had been put away for some reason.

"Come up and sleep." Thetis, who went to bed early, closed the book, pointed to the empty space on one side, and took the initiative to speak.

"Well, that's not good." Lorne subconsciously questioned, and then added, "I mean, for you..."

Thetis shook her head and answered seriously: "Only if you rest well and maintain the best physical strength and energy can you take me out safely."

"It seems that this is the truth!" Under the sincere advice of the goddess of the sea, Lorne thought carefully and followed her advice, and got into the soft and warm quilt on the bed.

Of course, there are two quilts.

As Lorne lay down beside him, Thetiston felt sleepy, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep, with a comfortable and relaxed smile on his beautiful face.

It seems that since that night, the man beside her can always give her a wonderful sense of security, which makes her sleep quality improve by leaps and bounds.

But in contrast, Lorne's feeling is not so wonderful.

It can even be said to be tortured.

Because Thetis slept in a very bad posture, she wrapped herself in a quilt and clung to him like an octopus, her arms wrapped tighter and tighter, and the smile on her face became more and more intense, as if she was using him as a human pillow.

Damn it...

Lorne stared at the beams above his head, lamenting and waiting for dawn.

I thought this kind of erotic torture would continue, but one day when he was drinking as usual, he saw King Minos walk into an empty bedroom as if nothing had happened, and then walked out with two bottles of fine wine.

Lorne couldn't help asking: "Is there no one there?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you say there was only one room?"

"I can open ten or eight rooms and change for free."

King Minos glanced at the opposite side and asked lightly.

"So, are you coming?"

Lorne hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and declined: "Forget it, let's stay in the original room."

King Minos nodded slightly, then stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty jars of honey wine, remember to return them to me."

"Ah? Why? Didn't you say that the accommodation is free?"

"Open two for free, open one for only twenty jars."

The old man took a sip from the wine glass and looked at the clerk meaningfully.

"Old fox..." Loen cursed inwardly, and immediately realized that he was being tricked.

"Or, if you marry my two daughters in Athens, I will give you forty jars?"

"Drink yours!"

Loen did not respond, but reluctantly took out twenty jars of fairy honey wine from his small warehouse and sealed it decisively.

King Minos picked up the filled wine glass and sighed helplessly in his heart.

This kid is obviously not a moral model who follows the rules, why doesn't he like to eat grass in his own yard?

The sea nymphs who slept in the same bed with him in the room were like this, and so were those in Athens...

It seems that they have to be more proactive.

The throne of Crete is still vacant.

Just as the old father underground was muttering to himself, the two princesses who stayed on the Ares Mountain sneezed heavily.
