Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 539: Select
Agamemnon's face was uncertain, and when he arrived at the steps, he saw dark clouds rising, and the rain crackling down, covering the world with a gloomy gloom, but there was no wind!
There is no wind, how can the boat go to sea?
Did you just rely on a hand paddle to reach Troy?
I don't know how long it took, Agamemnon let out a heavy breath, staring at the sky, and finally without saying a word, he seemed to have made up his mind and turned away.
This is a garden with several small buildings around it, where Queen Clyteniestra and her children lived. Agamemnon walked to the garden, identified the room of his daughter Iphigenia, and walked over quickly.
I opened the door, but was a little startled, seeing that Queen Clytenestra was also there, and now looking at him with angry eyes, Agamemnon was a little surprised, but before he could think about it, he said to the queen: "Call your child out."
"Huh!" was reminded by a close servant. Queen Clyteniestra, who already knew the secret, was full of resentment, and her eyes flashed with undisguised hatred. She didn't speak, but only faced the room. The children said: "Come out, daughter, come out with your brother Orestes."
Iphigenia took his brother Orestes by the hand and came out of the chamber. The girl was slim, but her head was a little disturbed.
"Look, Iphigenia is standing here, ready to obey your orders."
"Now, I only want you to answer me, tell me frankly and honestly, you really want to kill our daughter?" Queen Clyteniestra said coldly.
These words immediately stunned Agamemnon.
How do I answer this myself?
Originally, Agamemnon planned to take his daughter Iphigenia out by himself, but he didn't know where the queen got the news, which made him become passive.
Do you want to confess to killing her in front of your daughter and son?
Agamemnon stood there, silent for a long time, and finally screamed in despair, with a sad and desperate voice: "Ah, Goddess of Destiny! You have revealed my secret, everything is over."
"Agamemnon, now you listen to me, our marriage began with sin." Queen Clyteniestra saw that he did not deny, her heart sank, a trace of despair emerged, and her voice sharpened.
"You hijacked me with violence and killed my ex-husband. I was married to Tantalus, who was the son of Tiestes."
"At that time, you not only killed my husband, you also snatched my child from your arms, and in front of me, you killed him cruelly."
"I cried, my brother Castor and Polydius chased you with troops. You were desperate and asked for protection from my elderly father Tindarius. He saw that you were pitiful and saved him. And made you my husband."
"Even if you treated me cruelly and killed my ex-husband and my children, but my father asked me to marry you, I still keep my marriage vows to be a loyal wife and make you happy at home. , I am proud to be outside, I gave birth to three daughters and a son for you."
"You and I have been married for more than ten years, did I ever feel sorry for you?" At this point, Queen Clyteniestra's face was full of tears, and she screamed: "What will you give me in return now?"
"Are you going to take my daughter Iphigenia? Why? For your authority? For your brother Menelaus to regain his unfaithful wife? You are going to kill Your own daughter?"
"You are fighting for Menelaus, do you want me to sacrifice my own daughter in order to let him save his daughter Hermione?"
"Have you entered the realm of Hades? How can you be so cruel?" Queen Clyteniestra said, already crying.
Iphigenia had heard her mother want to hide by herself, but did not understand the meaning. Hearing these words of his mother Clyteniestra, I realized that his father, Agamemnon, was going to kill her. She couldn't believe her ears.
My father loved her so much since she was a child, how could he do such a cruel thing?
She knelt down in front of her father Agamemnon, tears streaming down her face, her voice hoarse and helpless.
"Father, if I have Orpheus's magical harp, if I have a voice that touches hard rocks, then I can touch your heart with music, and speak eloquent words to arouse your sympathy!"
"But I don't have this ability. Only tears are my only weapon."
"People who ask for mercy are holding an olive branch in their hands. I have to use my hands instead of olive branches. Father, don't let me die at such a young age! Are you really going to kill me?"
"Oh, don't do this."
"I beseech you in front of my mother, and let your poor daughter Iphigenia be spared. My mother gave birth to me in October, and now she feels more painful thinking about my death. "
"What does the matter between Helen and Paris have to do with me? Paris came to Greece and committed a crime. You should find him, why should I die?"
"Ah, father, look into my eyes, have mercy on me!"
Facing death, facing her father, Iphigenia showed unprecedented courage.
Agamemnon stood quietly, if he said that he was guilty just now, listening to Queen Clytenestra’s scolding and the bitter pleading of his daughter Iphigenia, the jar broke. , The heart suddenly became as cold as a stone.
"As long as the law allows me to sympathize with my daughter Iphigenia, I will sympathize with her, because I love my child so much, otherwise I am not as good as an animal."
"But I am doing terrible things with a heavy heart, because I have to."
"You see, what a huge fleet is under my command. How many princes and kings are standing around me in armor."
"My child, if I don't sacrifice you according to the oracle, then Troy will not be captured."
"The heroes hope that Greek women will never be kidnapped by the Trojans in the future. They all made up this determination."
"If I don't follow the oracle, they will kill you, and they will kill me. My power ends here and there is nothing I can do."
"I didn't compromise with my brother Menelaus to sacrifice you, but to obey the demands of all the Greeks. I hope you must keep this in mind."
After speaking, King Agamemnon left the garden, stepping resolutely.
At this time, there was no Achilles, no one could save poor Iphigenia. In a blink of an eye, two guards dragged Iphigenia away.
The queen fell to the ground in grief, she shouted, screamed, hoarse, and no one would come to help them.
The queen could not follow her daughter. She could not watch her daughter die. This would break her heart completely. She raised her hands and made an oath: "Agamemnon, you can’t deceive me, I’m Si The princess of Bada, the queen of McKenney."
"If the war is already underway and the prince and the king have paid a heavy price, then your words are still true, but now, the heroes, princes, and kings can be gathered together without paying the price of blood."
"And you are the most powerful kingdom in Greece-the king of McKenney. You really refuse to pay compensation. Who dares to kill you, who can kill you?"
"Which hero is willing to pay such a price?"
"You sacrificed our daughter just for your ambition. I swear, you will pay the price!"
Mount Olympus
The sharp and heartbroken voice rushed to the cloud, and the gods watched this scene peacefully. They have witnessed too much of the tragedy of love and killing between relatives, so they can't make the soul produce Any fluctuations.
Except for one god, artemis.
Apollo said to Artemis: "Look, after this incident, Queen Clyteniestra's love for Agamemnon has disappeared, and she is desperate. "
"On the contrary, only hatred remained in her heart. Even the hatred that killed her husband and children before was also awakened."
"I can see that Agamemnon is already entangled with the thread of death's fate."
"But I am not interested in the fate of Agamemnon. I only pity the princess who will sacrifice to me." Artemis said.
In the clouds, the Oris picture continues to be displayed.
The gods saw that the princes and kings gathered in the holy forest of the goddess Artemis, and the temple and holy forest of Artemis were located outside the city of Oris.
The altar has been set up, and the priest and the prophet Karkas are standing in front of the altar.
Iphigenia was bound all over, and was escorted by guards. The priest pushed her into the altar.
The priest took out the clear water from the jar and splashed it on the altar and Iphigenia. He said the prayer, and Kalkassa took the knife, read the prayer, and chopped it down.
At the moment of swinging the knife, a miracle occurred, and Iphigenia disappeared in front of everyone.
It turned out that Artemis pityed her~IndoMTL.com~ took her away directly. Instead of her, a beautiful sika deer took the knife cut by Kalka and lay on the ground, struggling in a pool of blood on the altar.
"Princes, look, look at the sacrifices here. This is from the goddess Artemis. She would rather sacrifice this sika deer than the girl. How kind she is."
"The altar does not need to be sprinkled with the girl's blood. The goddess Artemis has forgiven us. She will make our ship sail smoothly and guarantee us to conquer Troy."
"Come on with courage, we are leaving Port Oris today!" Kalkas yelled, his voice happy and high-pitched.
Everyone made a huge cheer, and the forgiveness of the goddess Artemis is good news for them, which means that the warship can go to sea.
Everyone left the sacred forest and went back to prepare for the upcoming battle of Troy.
"That's all right, Iphigenia is fine, and Clytenestra will rest assured!" Agamemnon sighed in secret, and said to the driver: "Quick, we Go back and tell Clyteniestra the good news and let her rest assured."
The car went back soon, and Agamemnon looked around and did not see his wife Clytenestra and his children, so he asked, "Where are the people?"
"Great King, when you went to the Holy Forest, Queen Clyteniestra ordered to return to McKennie, and he is already on his way."
Agamemnon suddenly felt empty in his heart, and a trace of panic attacked his heart.
"Klyteniestra, are you hating me?"
"No, I will make up for you. As long as I can eliminate Troy and win the war, I will be the king of all Greece. You and your children will gain more. Then you will understand everything I have done."
"I am all for you and your children."
