"Sun God, I am just a guilty person, you don't have to come in person."
The middle-aged man who spoke had a bearded face and weather-beaten eyes. He was dressed in linen and coarse clothes. He was slovenly and unremarkable.
If his name wasn't Prometheus, looking at this haggard face who often stayed up late and worked overtime would only make people think of the miserable technical staff of Party B.
Of course, it is also possible that he is a codeword.
"If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn't rush back to the sanctuary. After all, it's not safe outside. I might be ambushed by the demon emperor in the grass while walking."
Russell held Prometheus's hand and said sincerely: "But the name Prometheus is different. Even if I risk my life by being ambushed by the demon emperor, demon master, and the four demon gods, I won't hesitate."
Prometheus: "..."
Suddenly I was under a lot of pressure and felt like I owed Russell my life!
"A great god doesn't have to be humble. When I was learning from Brother Hephaestus, I once said that you are the god I respect the most. You are my goal in life, both in terms of your magnanimity and your charisma. "
Russell smiled coquettishly: "I feel ashamed to say it. Although I set you as my goal, my qualifications are limited. I have barely learned three or four points in all aspects, not even half."
Beside him, Chiron suddenly spoke crookedly, his eyes turned crooked, his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he pulled his hair back hard.
Judging from the twitching all over his body, he must be suffering from an old illness!
"I know that Hephaestus visited me in the place of imprisonment. He once mentioned the name of the sun god and praised you highly. He is very ashamed of himself."
The sedan chair was carried by everyone. Prometheus said that he was familiar with this kind of business exchange, and he had also been on the sacred mountain back then.
He's doing pretty well. Although he's not the main god, he's still Zeus's right-hand man.
"Yeah?"
Russell's eyes lit up, he puffed up his chest, and looked like he was begging for praise: "Hephaestus is too honest, and he only tells the truth with his stupid mouth. He promotes my advantages everywhere, which makes me feel embarrassed... So, what did Hephaestus say?”
Prometheus: "..."
He vaguely remembered that when Hephaestus visited him at that time, he expressed his bitterness towards him.
The old God of War, Ares, is not a good guy, and the new God of War and Sun God, Russell, is also virtuous and shameless... No, is he simply shameless, or is he hooking up with Aphrodite, the relationship is not clear, let Hephaestus was very troubled.
As he spoke, the strong man Hephaestus shed tears and sang a sad love song while drinking.
It felt terrible. If he hadn't been willing to be shackled because he was determined not to bow to Zeus, Prometheus would have jumped up and whipped him to death with Hephaestus's broken voice.
Hephaestus and Prometheus had a very good relationship. Because they were both technicians, they had many common topics and gradually became close friends. Hephaestus told him everything he knew.
Once, Prometheus stole fire and angered Zeus, and Hephaestus interceded for him.
Later, when Prometheus was imprisoned, Zeus sent eagles to eat his internal organs and tortured him terribly.
Those years were unbearable to look back on, but the endurance was over. What really frightened Prometheus was when Hephaestus came looking for a listener who would not move.
Whenever Hephaestus complained that he was lonely in the depths of love, howling at the top of his lungs, scaring the vultures to the point of peeing, Prometheus couldn't help but suspect that this was Zeus's real punishment for him. .
Not wanting his life, but wanting him alive would be worse than death!
That is to say, they are friends, otherwise there will be an unsolved case in Olympus the next day. Hephaestus was beaten to death, and next to him was Prometheus, who was shackled and could not move.
"Hephaestus was amazed by the creativity of the sun god, claiming that his talent and wisdom far exceeded those of the gods, which benefited him a lot..."
Prometheus spoke calmly, and a series of simple and unpretentious words without any fancy words made people's hearts burst with joy.
As he spoke, he lamented that as time passed and people changed, he picked up this craft again.
That's right, this was how Prometheus coaxed Zeus back then. He was so stunned that his back teeth burst into laughter.
"Brother Hephaestus has said it before, how can I be that good? This... really, we can't do this anymore. We must criticize him next time we meet!"
Russell grinned, showing an immodest smile, and his back molars blossomed.
"..."x2
Prometheus: Is this the sun god you like?
Chiron: It’s OK to remove the inappropriate moments and occasionally...
"Sun God, this time..."
"Master, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me by my name, which is you. I will never agree to anyone else."
Russell patted his chest, saying that he must give Prometheus face.
"In this case, too...Russell should call Prometheus by his first name, and there is no need to call me 'Great God'. I don't have any priesthood, and I am still a prisoner."
As he spoke, Prometheus showed the shackles on his hands. The black iron-colored handcuff on his right hand was connected to a small chain.
"This is……"
"Although Zeus released me, he still hated my behavior back then, so he left a section of shackles to make me a sinner forever." Prometheus smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Prometheus, you shouldn't bear this humiliation. I'll break it. If Zeus is dissatisfied, you can ask him to come to me." Russell said seriously.
"No, it's my own choice to wear these shackles."
Prometheus said freely: "This is a struggle. Although the result is not satisfactory, it is of great significance. I hope to use this as a warning to remind myself all the time."
Russell was in awe, the master's consciousness was different.
Unlike him, he would avenge any hatred on the same day, never overnight.
"Prometheus, can I ask... why did Zeus let you out?"
Russell asked curiously: "Is it because of the invasion of the monsters that Zeus released his former enemies and integrated them to fight against the monsters?"
"Zeus sent the 'god envoy' Hermes to release me. I also asked Hermes, but I didn't get a definite answer, and there was no intention of letting me go to Mount Olympus."
Prometheus shook his head and was silent for a moment before continuing: "It may be due to his arrogance. Knowing that foreign invaders are invading, I will not stand idly by and will definitely go to Mount Olympus, so he did not take the initiative to let me pass."
Russell nodded: "In that case, let's not go. One party will eventually compromise in the negotiation, why should it be you!"
"The situation is different, and personal grudges should not override the overall situation."
"If you think so, it's just in line with Zeus' wishes..."
Russell rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you stay in the sanctuary for a few days first? If something happens at the sacred mountain, it won't be too late for you to go."
"No, I just stopped by to see Chiron and this sanctuary."
Prometheus sighed with emotion: "Hephaestus is right. Without the wisdom and creativity that far exceeds that of the gods, it is impossible to forge divine objects such as the Holy Cloth. The talent of the Sun God makes me ashamed."
"I don't dare. A small gadget with a slanted sword cannot deserve such praise from a great god."
Russell waved his hand modestly: "Anyway, since you have come to the sanctuary, as the master, I must entertain you well."
"But……"
"No but, if you leave today, you will not give me face."
In line with the principle of a goose plucking its feathers, Russell was unwilling to let Prometheus leave. He could leave if he wanted to, as long as the Saints gave him some advice.
Russell turned to Chiron and said, "Go pack a straw mat and put it on the floor of the Sun Temple."
"Sun God, the temple is empty, and there is only a straw mat..."
Chiron looked troubled and hesitantly said: "There is not even a wall. Prometheus lives in it, right? After all, it is also your temple, right?"
"What are you thinking about? Prometheus is staying in the Pope's Hall for a few days, and during that time you go to sleep on the floor in the Temple of the Sun."
Russell snorted disdainfully, turned back to look at Prometheus, and said ashamedly: "This guy Chiron has no sharp eyesight at all. He can't teach him no matter how hard he is. This is how it will be in this life. Don't be offended."
Chiron: "..."
Prometheus couldn't help laughing when he saw Russell, and suddenly found Russell very interesting, so he nodded and agreed to live in the sanctuary for a period of time.
He was looking forward to the sanctuary in his heart. Unlike other gods who used humans as tools, Russell shared his power with humans and gave them the power to punch the gods. This was commendable.
At the same time, Prometheus also saw a group of human boys and girls with outstanding qualifications in the sanctuary, which made him itchy and wanted to impart some knowledge.
Since Russell was interested, he took it naturally.
"By the way, Prometheus, do you know which prisoners besides you have been released?"
After Russell finished speaking, he added: "No offense, according to the current form, the word 'prisoner' is more appropriate."
"It doesn't matter, I understand what you mean, and I have some guesses about this..."
Prometheus frowned for a moment and said slowly: "If I guess correctly, except for the felons in Tartarus, all the other prisoners imprisoned on the earth should have been released."
Russell stopped breathing: "Who did Zeus compromise with?"
"Maybe it's Gaia, the Mother Earth Goddess. Zeus is showing favor to Gaia!"
Prometheus sighed: "If this is the case, Zeus is indeed much more mature than he was back then."
"This is a good thing. The sacred mountain has strong support. Why should we sigh?"
"I'm worried that after the war..."
Prometheus looked in the direction of the Holy Mountain and said melancholy: "When the monsters are repelled, the Holy Mountain will start a new round of battles around power. After all, humans will bear the consequences."
When gods fight, mortals suffer!
There are countless examples of this in both Western and Eastern mythology.
There are as many myths and stories as there are about Jinshan Mountain, Chentangguan Pass, Flame Mountain, Golden Apple, etc.…
