Chapter 19: Chapter 19. A God's Blessing
I Will Eventually Embark On The Path Of No Return Called A Hero - 19. A God's Blessing
---
"You really dare to appear in front of me again."
Apollo glanced at Hermes whose legs were trembling, as he saw the war chariot beside Apollo. Hermes in fear showed his most kind smile.
"You will put the rope around your neck, or I'll help you?"
"I think we can talk," Hermes took Cyd out as if offering a treasure.
Cyd blinked, it happened so fast that he didn't realize it for a moment.
Didn't you say that you should persuade Apollo yourself!
"Cyd?" Apollo raised his eyebrows, "If you hadn't come today or without him, we might be able to have a good chat."
"That... dear Sun God - Apollo, I think I can resolve the conflict between you and Hermes," Cyd braced himself.
"Solution? It's not a contradiction anymore," Apollo glared fiercely at Hermes, who was hiding behind Cyd, "You cheated my cows in the past, but the piano you gave me made me feel that It's very valuable, so it doesn't matter about the cows, but!"
Apollo took out the harp that had been broken into two sections.
"Now I just want to tie you to a war chariot and go around the world, or shoot you into the sun."
"Then if I offer you a new one that pleases you. What about a musical instrument?"
Although Cyd also supports Apollo's throwing Hermes into the sun, since he has already agreed to God's request, he cannot ran back from his word.
"Oh? Hermes, don't you think you can still be the same as last time?" Apollo smiled faintly, "Okay, you must take out the instruments that do not exist in this world, and Give me a piece of music that pleases me, so I'll consider dragging you around for half a day."
Hermes shuddered, the instrument was okay, but how could a piece of music that would satisfy Apollo could just come out?
For the first time, Hermes has the idea that he had gone too far.
Cyd took a deep breath and handed Apollo the Erhu hands that Hermes had prepared.
"What's this?" Apollo raised his brows, but still took Erhu, his slender fingers gently plucked the strings, but the sound was not as wonderful as he imagined.
"Dear Sun God - Apollo, that's not how it works," Cyd took out the bow. "As long as you use it to pull the strings, I'm sure you'll be able to make a sound that will satisfy you."
Apollo raised his eyebrows, took the bow, and put it on the strings, and tentatively pulled it up. It was completely different from the feeling of plucking with his fingers. The unique tone made him narrow his eyes. It was like rehearsing countless times while his fingers turned the shaft of the piano to mobilize the tension of the strings, and an unknown piece of music was played as he turned his hands.
Hermes quietly sighed in relief, the ability to appease the other party while offending others is most needed is the ability to observe words, although it misjudged the degree of Apollo's love of music, but it is precisely because of the incomparable love of music, Hermes only now is certain that Apollo is in a good mood.
At least no more shouting about shooting him into the sun or dragging him around in circles.
At the end of the song, Apollo took Erhu in his arms and glanced at Hermes expressionlessly, his eyes softened a lot when he saw Cyd.
"Did you come up with this?"
"No," Cyd shook the head.
"You can get a lot of treasure if you say it was made by yourself," Apollo said softly,
"Don't you want [Blessings] now?"
"Because I really didn't come up with it, I don't have that ability," Cyd said seriously.
"I'm very satisfied," Apollo reached out and stroked Cyd's head, "Either you or this instrument."
"Very good!" Hermes wiped his forehead sweat.
"But! Hermes, I didn't say I'd forgive you!" Apollo raised his voice, "Unless you come up with another piece of music that satisfies me, I'll drag you away for a long time!"
"What's the matter!" Hermes looked towards Cyd as if asking for help with a whimper while holding his head.
"That... Lord Sun God Apollo, I have a song..." Cyd braced himself pulled Apollo's sleeve.
"Cyd, you don't need to talk for this guy who's full of crooked brains," Apollo rubbed Cyd's head.
"It's really too much~" Hermes shrugged his shoulders, "But you really don't have to push hard, your Erhu has already surprised me."
"Shut up!" Apollo glancing fiercely at Hermes.
"How about a song I dedicate to you," Cyd lightly coughed, "Even though it wasn't composed by me, maybe I couldn't hum its essence."
"Fine," Apollo took a few steps back and looked at Cyd quietly.
In short, I hummed Moon Reflection…
To tell you the truth, Cyd was hummed entirely by the bracing himself. It seems that no matter in his previous life or now, his musical cells are all the same. It belongs to the ordinary type, especially in the presence of a god of music.
Hermes was sweating all over, with his hands holding head which was spinning all over.
The frequent out of tune and the wrong rhythm control will not irritate Apollo again. How should I lead this kid to run away?
Hermes has sentenced Cyd to death in the heart.
"What do you think?" Cyd swallowed and looked nervously at Apollo, who was brows tightly frowns.
"You... hummed really badly," Apollo smiled slightly, "But I did receive a great piece of music."
Cyd sighed in relief.
It's rotten, but as long the essence can be expressed.
"Huh? Lie!" Hermes stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"How can you possibly understand the essence of this song," Apollo glared at Hermes dissatisfiedly, "I'll beat you up if you talk nonsense."
Hermes immediately covered his mouth, but this did not mean that was to shut up, but to cover the corners of his mouth that could not help but rise.
Apollo is out of breath and happy.
Just like him who is finally free of him.
"Although this instrument was not created by you, although this piece was not made by you, I am very happy because you brought them to me," Apollo raised his right hand, "And I know what is the best reward for you."
"Pure Son of Man, your honesty is no foolishness."
If Cyd is really thick If he said that Erhu and tunes were created by him, Apollo would probably just use some treasures to send Cyd away.
"I, Sun God Apollo bless you."
Cyd looked towards the bracer on his left wrist, and one of the thirteen transparent crystals began to shine slowly, the orange rays of light gradually fill it up.
"[The sun's brilliance will illuminate your path.]"
