When the sun sets in the west, the bright moon rises again from the east, hanging high in the lonely sky, casting a soft moonlight.
"Not far ahead is the island of Andros. As long as we pass through the Odros Strait, we will have entered the Aegean Sea." On the bow of the ship, Sophia, wearing a white dress, looked into the distance and spoke with that said the sweet voice.
Achilles turned his head sideways and restlessly held Sophia's boneless jade hand in his palm, feeling the softness.
¡°Andros, is it the island with the temples of the brother and sister Apollo, the sun god, and Artemis, the moon god?¡±
Sophia nodded affirmatively and said softly: "Well, Odross Island is the island with the best environment in this sea area. As early as thousands of years ago, the Apollo brothers and sisters took a fancy to this island. He built his own palace on it.¡±
"In the past, the brother and sister lived here for many years. Later, Apollo annoyed the little cupid. The angry little cupid shot two arrows of different colors at Apollo and Daphne respectively. Polo Falling in love, but Daphne would never fall in love with him, so in order to escape Apollo's pursuit, Daphne finally turned into a laurel tree. Since then, Apollo has been guarding the laurel tree for many years. I seldom return to the island of Odysseus."
Regarding this most poignant tragic love in Greek mythology, Achilles has seen it more than once in some books in later generations. From the bottom of his heart, he sympathized with Apollo.
It¡¯s just that now that he has traveled through time and become Achilles, he is destined to become an enemy of Apollo, but even so, he still does not feel any schadenfreude in his heart.
"Is that Prince Achilles of Thessaly in front of me?" At this moment, clear female voices came from the sea in the distance.
Achilles followed the sound and looked, between the moonlight, an exquisite goddess broke through the darkness and came carrying the moonlight.
Although he didn¡¯t know who the goddess was, Achilles still responded politely: ¡°Achilles has seen the goddess. May I ask where the goddess comes from?¡±
The moonlight in the sky surrounded the goddess. Her gentle body floated in the air, looking at Achilles, and said politely: "I am the goddess of Odros Island. I have been ordered by the Moon God. Come and invite the prince to come to the island."
Achilles looked at Sophia beside him, frowning slightly, thinking in his heart, he had never known the moon god Artemis at all, why did she send someone to invite him to the island?
Because the goddess was standing not far from the two of them, Sophia wanted to say something but was worried about being heard by the other party, so in the end she just nodded to Achilles.
Achilles nodded in agreement, looked at the goddess in mid-air, and asked: "I have never met the Moon God, and I have never said anything bad about the Moon God behind his back. Please ask the Goddess to reveal some information. Why does the Moon God want me to go to the island?"
The goddess smiled faintly, showed her beautiful face, shook her head and replied: "I just got the will of the moon god, so I hurriedly came here to find you, the prince. As for the rest, I really don't know. The prince can come with me. Go, and when you meet the Moon God, you will know."
Achilles thought for a moment, then told Sophia and left with the goddess.
Being led by the goddess, with the vast sea below me and the bright moon above my head, surrounded by the bright moonlight and the breeze blowing, I felt as if I was in a dream.
This goddess flew extremely fast, reaching dozens of nautical miles in just a few minutes. While in mid-air, a beautiful picture appeared not far away.
Towering thousand-year-old trees are growing in scattered places, with countless blue light spots on the branches - Piao Tianwen - long blue stairs spiraling and extending from bottom to top to the top of the tree.
And on the branches of this ancient tree, among the dense branches and leaves, there are unique corridors scattered here and there, with blue light spots looming, adding a bit of psychedelic atmosphere to this building.
The goddess took Achilles through the island lined with ancient trees, and came directly to the ancient tree that reached the sky in the center, and landed on a platform with blue light.
Standing on this platform made of unknown magical materials, there is a winding staircase going down. On both sides of the staircase are unique blue fences, with light blue flowing.
Looking upward, there is also a staircase spiraling on the branches, appearing and disappearing, extending to the branches on the upper level, where stands an extremely exquisite palace.
"Prince, that is the palace of the Moon God. Let me go up alone. The Moon God is waiting for you inside." The goddess pointed to the palace above and said.
Achilles raised his head and looked at this magical palace shrouded in countless blue light spots. After a short pause, he stepped onto the stairs in front of him.
Going up the stairs, every time he stepped on a step, the steps with a light blue light would ripple with blue light spots, like little elves flying around him.
It only took Achilles a short time to walk the hundred steps. He stood in front of the palace door and looked up. The door was ajar with flowing blue mist.
Standing in front of this gate, Achilles hesitated. He stood there motionless. He was really undecided whether he should go in or not.
"Since you're here, let's come in." Just when he was hesitant, a soft voice came from the ajar door.
Gritting his teeth, he finally took a step forward and put his hands on the door. The door was already open without even using any force.
Through this door, a hazy world appears in front of you. The entire palace is like a full moon. The bright moonlight floats in the palace like flowing water. In the faint light and shadow, there seems to be a heavy shadow of trees moving.
"In the deepest part of the light and shadow, there are several thin curtains hanging, one after another, and the moonlight falls on them, creating layers of ripples.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Achilles was a little surprised, and his mind couldn't help but recall the beautiful backgrounds on the stage in his previous life.
Looking through the layers of translucent curtains, you can vaguely see the graceful back in the moonlight. Such a beautiful scene, accompanied by this beautiful figure, can't help but make people imagine.
If he hadn¡¯t known that the moon god he was about to meet was a virgin, Achilles would have guessed that this god was trying to seduce him into committing a crime.
"Achilles has seen the moon god"
There was no wind under the heavy curtains, just like water waves undulating. The slim figure shrouded in moonlight walked slowly, passed through the layers of curtains, and came to Achilles.
"I feel your anxiety and wariness. Do you think that as the goddess of hunting and the god of the moon, I will hurt you?" The calm voice, with a fresh and natural breath, is a bit hard to describe. of comfort.
Achilles' eyes only stayed on the goddess's face for a moment, and then he hurriedly moved away, because that face brought him so many things that he couldn't help but get lost in it.
From childhood to adulthood, from later generations to this life, he talked about all kinds of women and spent many sentences describing the beauty of women, but he could not find any words to describe the appearance of the goddess in front of him.
He had never thought that in this world, there would be such a beauty, as if the whole nature was integrated into it, fresh, natural, quiet, giving people peace and comfort, and making people's minds relax.
"I wonder if the goddess came to me with any instructions?" He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. He did not dare to raise his head to look at the moon god again, but just lowered his head and asked.
The body of the Moon God always exudes that kind of natural and tranquil aura. On that perfect face, there is no sadness or joy, sadness or anger, which is plain and indifferent.
"The prophesied warrior, young Achilles, the reason I took the liberty of coming to my palace is because I want you to do me a favor."
Hearing the answer from the Moon God, Achilles was stunned for a moment, a little confused. This person in front of him was the hunting and moon god, one of the twelve main gods of Mount Olympus, and the twin sister of the sun god Apollo. , as powerful as she is, how could she ask a demigod like herself for help?
It will be on the shelves tomorrow. Brothers who are able, please support me. You only need a pack of cigarette money, but for me, it is very important.
