63 – There’s no law saying just die.
Contrary to the fact that he came out of the temple, Apollo was not a stupid god.
No matter how much Artemis has a temperament, she doesn’t see anything once she turns her eyes away, and she’s basically an immature little sister with a strong tendency to look down on her opponent (even if it’s a man).
Nevertheless, God is God.
If you saw the blood of the moon goddess who spent her eternal years hunting, you would have guessed that an unusual secret was hidden.
As a hunter, you have to observe what kind of prey it is before going out hunting.
In addition, the fact that the young believer that Poseidon and Ares were so proud of was his opponent, so he acted even more cautiously.
He thought about asking Hermes, but not only the queen Hera but also her father Zeus were moved by the child’s poems and expressed their liking.
If I told Hermes about this, he didn’t know that trouble would happen.
‘I need information, information first.’
First of all, he visited the temple in Delphi.
In the Temple of Delphi, where numerous oracles and prophecies were given, Dionysus and his priests were in charge of the oracle from the cold winter to early spring, and he was in charge from the rest of the spring to late autumn.
As far as I’ve heard, it was only a few days ago that a guy named Dianes hurt his sister, so if he had such an extraordinary history, he must have had a related oracle, big or small.
However, according to his memory, he had never given an oracle about a child named Dianes, so he decided to check if there was any related oracle among Dionysus’ oracles.
“…What? Dionysus!?”
“Yes! You left the road a few days ago to say that you should prepare for the banquet as soon as possible!”
However, before dawn, the temple of Delphi, which they arrived at with a busy carriage, was empty.
As expected, perhaps he is a god who prophesies out of drunkenness.
His devotees, who were tidying up, were surprised by their god who suddenly appeared and bowed down to worship.
Apollo only managed to wrap his head around the situation that went wrong from the first button.
“This…”
To think that the drunken traveler’s unpredictable sudden action would happen again.
Even the temple of Delphi was emptied by dragging away all of his followers and the staff to manage the temple.
“As long as you don’t drink alcohol, it’s a really good thing.”
What can I do? It is said that the god of wine and drunkenness did his own business.
Apollo had to hurriedly leave the temple many times while shaking his head.
“Tsk, things are going wrong.”
No matter how much he is the god of the sun clad in the majesty of the sun.
It was impossible to invade Chiron’s sanctuary, which was recognized by the oath of Olympus.
In addition, Chiron was a teacher who taught them the bow and hunting and was a child of Cronus like his father Zeus.
But that rude fellow named Dianes became his disciple.
As if the goddess of fate is protecting him, isn’t he?
“Let’s take a look at your face for now.”
It’s time for dawn soon.
Raising the majesty of the sun chariot to its maximum, he slowly ran to the top of the lofty sky and slowly began to illuminate the land of Greece.
“Let’s see, over there.”
The small forest of Messenia below.
Every time his carriage started to spur, he could see the busily running little heroes.
But among them, there was a child who stood still and stared at the sun.
“Whoa…! There was such a beautiful child!?”
Shiny black hair, jet black eyes.
His body was full of vitality, and his face, proudly looking up at the sun, was as beautiful as the sons of Aphrodite.
“You are Dianes!”
I should have recognized even my sister Artemis when she said she was pretty.
Look at those yearning eyes that proudly look up at the sun.
“Ah… What a pity!”
For such a small hero, she is an enemy who goes against his sister and even gave her her scars.
Apollo couldn’t help but sigh at the fate of the little hero, which would not be an exaggeration to say that it was another work of art that came out of this world.
“Fortunately, however, death will not come upon you today. But I must pay for my sister, the Moon Goddess, the Huntress of Chastity…
The prophet who defeated Python, the master of Delphi, prophesies.”
Until then, enjoy your short life to the fullest.
Apollo said to the little hero who stood on the ground, and then he started driving the sun again.
There is no one in this world who can avoid the sun anyway.
* * *
What is it?
Why did you just leave?
I couldn’t quite understand it as I was heading to class after breakfast.
Surely, the handsome man who ran through the sky with the sun on his back was Apollo.
If you’re a hypochondriac, you’re definitely the sun god who runs top tier even in Greek mythology.
‘You must have seen me…?’
Once I turn my eyes, I thought that the oath, the nabal, and the invisible Greek gods would rush at Chiron’s forest and say that their sister was injured.
They glared at me for a moment and said something, then drove their wagon back to high altitude and disappeared.
“Wow… It’s easier to lie down if you fight.”
Looking at me and seeing who I am, it’s clear that you know who I am.
As Hermes said, it was clear that the light-year-old was harsh and whining at his brother.
“But he just left…”
I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
One thing is certain: the god of the sun floating in the sky has definitely seen me.
In other words, I am in a dangerous situation where I don’t know when an orbital bombardment may come.
‘First of all, even though I could shoot an arrow at any time, I just took a picture of my eyes and left. First of all, Apollo has no intention of violating Chiron’s sanctuary, in other words, there is still time.’
However, that is only a hypothesis.
When that moonlight light year whining and medals on her brother, then the Sunshine Road Roller might fall on her head for real.
I had to solve the riddle of Hermes as soon as possible.
“For now, let’s pray to God and Goddess.”
I’ve been feeding (?) Something.
Still, wouldn’t it prevent you from dying in the sunlight unwittingly?
“Come on, I’m dirty, so I need to get my martial arts back quickly.”
I’m always guarding myself with Shinmagi and raising my spirits, so a sudden sniping shot would surely not hurt me.
However, if such a sniping fell like an artillery bombardment in an instant, I had no choice but to be pushed back.
‘If only it somehow fell to the ground…’
“Hey Dianes!”
“Huh?”
As I was immersed in contemplation, a loud voice called me, as if I had boiled a train firebox.
“What are you doing so blankly? Did you eat enough to make you sleepy?”
I was on my way to my first class after eating the barley porridge and salad that Chariclo had cooked with Hercules to my heart’s content.
Atalanta, with a determined expression on her face, said she would go to her hunting party before morning canter.
Neri, who tried to cling to me during this time, was caught by Cariclo, who exudes an irresistible force, and went to class.
Only Hercules and I, whose class schedules overlapped naturally, were on the way to take a strange class called pottery.
“I guess so. I had a weird dream last night, so I had a bad night’s sleep.”
“A dream?”
“Well, that’s right.”
Anyway, I can’t say that the sun floating in the sky is always trying to shoot me down.
This is an ordeal that I can only bear.
Even so, the years I’ve lived and the pride of a mental elder were a bit high to whine at a nasty kid in life.
Now that I’ve grown from a human to a god, I was the one who led the Central Plains Murim, which was several times larger than the land mass of Greece, and even treated that emperor alone.
If you can’t even overcome the personality of the sun, those years will cry.
“Even so, the strategy and tactics and study skills were at a high level.”
Me and Hercules went into the pottery class with a monologue saying that we wanted to solve the riddle of Hermes as soon as possible and lead a more peaceful academy life.
To be honest, I thought it was a class and a nabal, so I just wanted to find a place like a library and dig through myths.
Still, as a student who felt that he had to take classes, he set out with a heavy sense of duty.
“By the way, what the hell are you learning in pottery class?”
“hahahaha. You’ll know once you hear it. You can look forward to it.”
“Expectations?”
I can’t believe this guy who seems to have put a barrier to art is talking about expectations.
Is this a special class?
Without saying anything further, Hercules went to his seat, sat down, and gestured to me.
“First of all, there are many things to see.”
“Isn’t it? These are all made by the pottery teacher here.”
“A lot of this?”
The pottery decorated with all kinds of mythological stories and love stories, and the storage jars called amphora were of such great quality that even to my eyes, they were quite good.
But all these things were made by one person?
From noble mtl dot com
“Uh uh uh… Uh, it’s heavy…”
“Ah! The teacher is here.”
A large amphora was floating right in front of the seats in front of us.
I wondered what kind of magic this was, but when I looked closely, there was a little girl holding an amphora the size of my body and moving it from zero to zero.
“Isn’t it cute? It’s Teterir, the pottery teacher.”
“Mr. Teterir! At least Lord Teterir! Please call me! And not pots, but porcelain!”
A jar, no, a pottery teacher who gets angry at the title of Hercules from behind pottery.
Even with the two’s friendly gag, I couldn’t be bothered to say anything.
It was because of the picture on the pottery that Teterir had brought.
“Hey, sir?”
“Why Gu Rae-yong? Freshman?”
“What is the story of that pottery painting?”
“Ah~ for this~”
The picture of the pottery was simple.
A picture of a small-sized baby sitting on a large herd of cows and playing a lyre, in front of which a familiar handsome man is appreciating the sound of the lyre.
If it was normal, I would have skipped over it because it’s just a common myth.
A Latin phrase engraved at the top of the painting caught my eye.
“Born alone, become a god alone?”
“Ohhh! This is a new work, do you like it?”
Teterir, who carefully placed the pottery on the desk, said with a loud bang.
“Today’s new work, a wit who gains business, the latest work in the Hermes series!”
“hahahaha…”
Wow… There’s no law telling you to just die.
I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly in admiration and absurdity at the answer to the riddle that appeared in a very unexpected place.
