The spear of Ares, the Greek god of war, and the spear of Ares, the Roman god of war, were held in the hands of the river god and appeared in front of William at the same time. A similar but different feeling, it was like seeing what was reflected in the mirror. Own.
The truth has become clear.
"Me and myself, for example, I am a Roman and the other me is a Greek, right." William used a strange tone to describe his relationship with himself.
The name of Hercules in Greek mythology is Heracles, and in Roman mythology it is Hercules. The name of the goddess of youth is Hebe in Greek mythology, and in Roman mythology it is Euventus.
"Yes or no, but generally the difference is not big." Hermes said, "It is not easy for you to defeat the other party, because you are a Greek, and the other you is a Roman."
"Is there any difference?"
"Of course. The other party's ability, glory, and brilliance are stronger than yours. That's why he was born the son of a duke, and you are the son of a blacksmith."
"That's not fair."
"It's fair, because Greece has died, Rome continues to exist, Greek mythology has been integrated into Roman mythology, and the Roman gods are more glorious than the Greeks. Of course, there are some other factors."
"Other factors." William vaguely felt that these so-called other factors were the real key.
"Let me give you an example. When it comes to the Greek God of War, almost all mortals now think of it as Athena. In fact, the real God of War is always Ares. As one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, Ares He should have high status and prestige, but he has always been a second-rate character in mythology. Every time he fought with Athena, he was beaten to pieces by Athena, and even the mortal Diomedes could stab him. Don’t you think it’s strange? A god with the vocation of God of War cannot be a second-rate character. For example, Odin in Norse mythology is the God of War. Think about it again, what is the vocation of Athena?”
"Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom."
"Yes, since there is already a God of War, why is there still a goddess of war and wisdom? The reason is that Ares is the embodiment of human blood lust. He is obsessed with violence and disputes. This is destined by his priesthood. He likes to provoke When human beings go to war, he will not pay attention to the right and wrong of the war, but is very interested in the battle itself. The war he defends has nothing to do with justice or human wisdom, while the war Athena defends is a civilized war. She Always engage in war with justice and wisdom. The defeat of Ares and the victory of Athena are not so much the gap between the power of the two gods, but rather the human understanding of war in mythology. Therefore, in Greek mythology In it, Athena is stronger than Ares, but what about in Roman mythology?”
"Mars is stronger than Athena."
"That's a good answer." Hermes still had his habitual smile.
The image of Ares is even worse than that of Hermes. If people disdain Hermes as in Aesop's fables, then they are disgusted with Ares.
He always plays the villain role in later movies and TV dramas. He is a bloodthirsty murderer and the embodiment of bloodlust, blood and human disaster. Therefore, although he is one of the twelve main gods, his status is not lofty. Nor is it popular with people.
However, Mars, the Roman god of war, is different. Mars is considered to be the father of Romulus, the builder of the Roman city, and the ancestral god of the Romans.
The Romans worshiped him second only to Jupiter (Zeus). Because Rome, which was full of martial virtue, could not do without this god of war, so as the Roman Empire expanded step by step, Mars' status continued to improve, and his image became more and more important. Bright and majestic.
"Then how should I defeat my other self?" William couldn't help but ask. Although they were both the same person, the gap between the two was so great that he had no way to deal with this threat.
"I don't know," Hermes replied.
"..." William looked at Hermes helplessly. Since you don't know, why are you telling me so much?
"But I know, what is the purpose of his actions?" Hermes said immediately.
"His purpose." William frowned slightly.
「
Actually you know that too, don’t you? Hermes chuckled, and then threw the golden sword and the angel sword to William at the same time.
"Because of love." William sighed and took the sword from Hermes. This time he did not refuse. Then he saw Hermes waving his hand and walking towards the river, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
William has a strong Oedipus complex, also known as the "Oedipus complex". He loves his mother, the fairy who appears in front of him.
The blessing of the seven fairies is also a curse. He will only fall in love with people who are similar to himself. When Hebe appears in front of him, he falls in love with this fairy.
The reason why Duke William pursued King Arthur so closely was because he believed that King Arthur was the one who could replace his mother. This was something even King Arthur and Duke William admitted.
Because of the prophecy of fate, Duke William, who was destined to lose his kingdom, came to Avalon where King Arthur was sleeping. King Arthur of Avalon actually saw the lost and terrified little boy, which actually inspired her to develop maternal instincts and raised him as a fairy. Teach William that the relationship between the two is like mother and son, as close as each other, so even if King Arthur is really on his side, is he really on his side?
Duke William loved King Arthur deeply, but it was impossible that King Arthur had not loved his child.
When William darkened and became the Dragon Duke, the saddest thing was actually King Arthur. The reason why King Arthur stood on his side was not only for her country, but also to save Duke William.
"It turns out that I am superfluous." William felt bitter in his heart. When he learned the truth, he never expected that the clown turned out to be me.
In the stories of Duke William, Hebe, and King Arthur, only he is superfluous, and he himself has nothing.
King Arthur must have been disappointed. It turned out that he and Duke William were not brothers at all, but the same person. The premise of all plans had failed. Even if William personally experienced Duke William's fate, he could not defeat the other party.
The sword in the stone shone brightly in his hand, and the golden sword and the angel sword also emitted light. William sighed, as if he felt that all this was meaningless. The only fairy Lily who once loved him was also abandoned by him. While sighing, he then saw the light falling in the sky like a shooting star.
That was the fatal blow that the Wood Fairy dealt to him and Duke Robert, coming from the power of the gold coins of the sun, the silver coins of the moon, and the copper coins of the stars.
The gold coin of destiny was warning me. I was so focused that I almost forgot about the fairy in the forest.
Why did Hermes talk to me so much and now he slipped away so quickly. .z.br>
"Fuck, I'll be back."
