Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 523: Destiny


  Crete·Royal Palace·Banquet Hall

  The palace is a rectangular garden. The palace of the king, the palace of the queen, and the banquet hall are all distributed around the garden. The buildings are connected by corridors, entrance halls, double paths, and stairs. There are thousands of doors, like a maze.

   After Pei Ziyun worshipped Hera in Crete, King Idomenius sent someone to invite Prince Paris to the palace. See the grand banquet. At this time, I saw King Idomenius lying reclining right above the hall. On the recliner, soft animal skins were spread on it, and the maid filled it with wine and delivered it to the king's mouth.

   The banquet hall was full of many nobles from the kingdom. At this moment, drinking wine, the banquet was nearing its end.

   King Idomenius straightened up and said with a smile: "Prince Paris, I hope you can drink our Crete wine as much as you want and enjoy our food."

   Pei Ziyun saluted slightly and said: "Dear King Idomenius, thank you very much for your hospitality."

  "Come, Prince Paris, to the friendship, toast." King Idomenius raised the gold cup and drank the wine. Pei Ziyun also drank the wine.

  "Prince Paris, long ago I heard about your heroic reputation for beheading sea monsters, two-headed lizards, bear people, and respecting the gods. Everywhere you go, you must worship the local temple. Today, there will be It’s really a joy to see me."

   Pei Ziyun heard the praise and stood up: "King Idomenius, everything I do is under the guidance and blessing of the gods."

  "Your praise and warm hospitality made me panic. What can I do for you-the king blessed by our common ancestor Zeus?"

   Pei Ziyun looked at him coldly. The king of Crete, Idomenius, was very powerful. He was a descendant of gods loved by Zeus. The warehouses in the palace were filled with wine, olive oil, and grain, and the treasure house was full Gold bronze and weapons.

   has two thousand well-equipped warriors, belonging to the king, and a large number of ships set off to trade across the Aegean, bringing huge benefits to the king!

   But Idomenius still has troubles. The reason is that Crete has fallen in this era, while McKennie is thriving, and King Agamemnon has gained hegemony.

   The two gods of Zeus, Agamemnon of McKennie and Idomenius of Crete have been fighting against each other, and Idomenius has been trying to restore the glory of the Minoan dynasty.

   "There is something. The caravan who came back told me that the Trojans recently increased their control of tin and imposed heavier taxes on tin. Do you know that?" Idomenius said, with Laughing, but his eyes are a bit cold.

  This has had a certain impact on Crete, and the income has been reduced. At this time, I was thinking: "Damn Trojan, find me something!"

   "Honorable Majesty, I don’t know about this, because I’ve been out for half a year." Pei Ziyun said politely: "But I personally think that we are all descendants of the great Zeus, and each other It should be closer."

  "We can even reduce taxation and increase exchanges between each other."

   "I already have some thoughts about this, look at it." As he said, and waved his hand, Gusnier handed over a sheepskin book respectfully.

   "Mutual ships close to each other to reduce taxes, not obstruct navigation, free trade, provide necessary convenience, and enjoy certain privileges." Idomenius just glanced at it and thought it was good, because his clever mind immediately wanted to understand Now, Crete has gained greater benefits.

   The reason is very simple. Troy controls the Dardanelles and has frequent business activities with the Greeks. The mutual reductions and exemptions seem fair. In fact, it is Troy’s unilateral concession. Relying on this, you can even sell tax cuts. Tin and get extra profit.

  "Is this true? Prince Paris?"

  "Of course, but this has to sign a peace alliance treaty with Troy. For whatever reason, you must not join the hostile camp against Troy-we cannot support the enemy and let it profit, right, the great Edo King Menius?"

   "Yes, yes...I have to discuss this matter again, but for the sake of our friendship, I want to give you some gifts." After Idomenius said, "Papa Papa" was taken three times, and there was The servants filed in with gifts.

   Pei Ziyun looked and saw that there were gold, bronze, ivory, and fur in the gift, which was actually a return gift for the goods presented to Crete.

   Pei Ziyun stood up and bowed: "Dear King Idomenius, thank you very much for your generous gift. May our friendship last forever, and may the gods bless you forever."

   "Prince Paris, I said, for our friendship, if you have any trouble in the future, just come to me." The king said enthusiastically.

   The banquet was going on in a cheerful, joyful, and relaxed atmosphere. Everyone had a great drink. During the period, Pei Ziyun also drank a lot of wine.

   About an hour later, Pei Ziyun bid farewell to King Idomenius, and the King personally sent him out of the banquet hall.

   Pei Ziyun left the palace, got on the carriage, and said to the coachman: "Go to Hecate Temple."

   "Slap."

   With a crisp whip blew, the carriage headed towards the Hecate Temple, and at this time, Pei Ziyun sank and shook his head: "It doesn't seem to work!"

   The Peace Alliance Treaty seems to be a loss for Troy, but during the war, Troy could not collect taxes, so there was no loss at all, but it could be disgusting to the Greeks-when Idomenius entered the war, he still wouldn’t Join the war?

  Ke Domenius is a descendant of Zeus, he seems to have heard some wind noises, although his heart is moving, but when he heard the peace treaty, he declined.

  "But I finally gave some more gifts. After all, it's still profitable."

   Pei Ziyun no longer thinks about this, but thinks about the following goals.

   Hekate, the goddess of hell, is the goddess of the netherworld. She once helped Zeus defeat the Cyclops, so she has the power of a giant, even Zeus gives some face.

   "The mysterious lady last time, was it her?"

   "It's not like, although she is not a direct line of Zeus, but she did not fight against Zeus, and will not shoot for me."

   "I went to the sacrifice this time, and I went to the bottom-last time, did she give me the secret medicine?"

  Hecate Temple

   The chariot approached, and gradually stopped, Pei Ziyun came down.

   In front of the Hekate Temple is a large sacred forest. The sacred forests are towering old trees, with birds singing happily, and women picking flowers. Although the **** of the earth, the whole holy forest is a kind of be quiet.

   Behind the holy forest, a temple lay in front of you.

   The priest waited at the gate of the temple with his assistants. He saw Pei Ziyun and said: "Prince Paris, the great **** already knows about your arrival, and specially ordered me to wait."

  "Really? When did I get the attention of the **** goddess Hecate?" Pei Ziyun thought to himself: "Is the last lady really her?"

   replied at the moment: "Thank the great goddess Hecate (Hecate) for her favor."

   The priest nodded slightly and led Pei Ziyun into the temple.

The gate of the    temple is a circular arch, 16 meters high and 8 meters wide. People will feel small when they pass through the gate.

Inside the Hecate Temple, the entire dome is also engraved with frescoes, and reliefs can be seen everywhere on the surrounding walls, but unlike other temples, the murals and reliefs are mainly black and gray. , And most of the depictions are scenes of the earth, which makes people feel shuddering when they see it.

   Through the long corridor, I saw an altar with a statue of Hecate in the center of the altar.

  Kill a cow and the sacrifice disappeared. It seems that Hecate still has a good impression on him. The priest smiled: "Prince Paris, the gods are very satisfied with your sacrifice."

   Pei Ziyun said: "Thank you Goddess Hecate for your blessing."

   The ritual is completed, and a young girl comes over. She has a slender figure, light steps, and bows: "Medea heard that a young prince is coming, and wants to meet.

  "Medea?" Pei Ziyun wondered, this person is amazing, she is in the myth, she shouldn't be here!

   just thought, a plum appeared in front of my eyes and quickly zoomed in to become a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and data appeared in front of my eyes.

   "Explain to Medea without reservation."

  , led by the girl, walked through the corridor and came to a room, which was tall and narrow, with a wooden window, a bed, and an old woman on the bed.

   Not far from there is a sea beast clay oil lamp and a flower pot with flowers in it.

   Pei Ziyun looked at the woman on the bed. Medea used to be a powerful and dying woman. She is full of wrinkles, and the years have carved indelible marks on her body.

   The girl took out a silver pot and opened it, and a ray of strong fragrance flowed out. She carefully took out some and wiped it on her face, not too much.

  In an instant, there was a miracle. Medea's wrinkles quickly reduced and she became a middle-aged woman. Although there were fish lines on the corners of her eyes, she regained some youth~IndoMTL.com~ It seems you are a little surprised! "Said Medea, as light as the breeze blowing: "This is only part of the power of Hecate, the goddess I serve-she can make a secret medicine for rejuvenation." "

   "Only one day?" Pei Ziyun asked.

   "You are really sharp, you know a lot, and you are young and handsome." Medea didn't answer directly, but looked at Pei Ziyun: "The same as before..."

   "I am not Jason." Pei Ziyun interrupted her recollection.

   "Oh, why, you are all princes, you are all so young and handsome." Medea said, "I have seen many heroes, but there are not many as handsome as you."

   "Because I don't know how to learn Jason, I will push everything to women and friends. As a result, even with the blessing of the great Hera, I can't even sit on the throne."

   Yasong was the hero who captured the Golden Fleece, but he abandoned Medea and his son, and eventually died under the curse.

   "Really? So you think so."

  "That's right, I heard that you killed sea monsters, two-headed lizards, and bear people without the help of other heroes. If Jason is as brave as you, he won't be reduced to that way."

   "In the end, even Hera, who cared for him, gave up on him early."
