Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 507: Oracle
Pei Ziyun watched De Mofeng leave, his expression gradually flat, just thoughtful.
"Theseus only usurped the king in the hearts of the Athenians. Many people were dissatisfied with him. He used force to suppress it. However, due to implicit or explicit opposition, his efforts failed. Theseus decided to give up completely. In an uncontrollable city, he had sent his sons Akamas and Demophon to Ubia in advance, and asked them to defect to King Elfnoah."
"Akamaz and Demophon are not in Youbia? Why are they back again, but it seems a little bit possible."
"How can Demophon take the throne of Athens if it doesn’t come back for a long time?"
"Athens must have the potential of the Theseus family!"
I want to understand, turned around and said to Gosnier: "This is Athens. When you buy bulls, you have to choose carefully. Don't worry, don't be afraid to spend money. Compare more. Be sure to choose the best bull— —As long as I can be there tomorrow morning when I worship the gods."
Gusnier saw Prince Paris’s expression, put away his smile, and said seriously: "Prince Paris, I understand, you can rest assured!"
Gosnier did understand the meaning. This is a reasonable and reasonable opportunity to find the troubadours, because the troubadours are most familiar with the situation, and there is nothing wrong with finding them—and, in the previous city-states, It is also used for this reason.
The practice proved to be quite good and impeccable.
Gus had a pause, and then said: "The monster is said to be a giant. This problem has not been resolved. The king is discussing it."
Pei Ziyun nodded, although he already had guesses and prejudices in his heart, he still said: "Just ask again, and carefully report to me tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" Gusnier bowed.
The next day·morning
The sun flooded Athens, and Pei Ziyun only got up and saw Gosnier. It was obvious that he had not slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was a bull in the courtyard.
"Prince Paris, the bull has been brought here. This is not an ordinary bull with a yoke and a heavy cart. It is a bull specially used for sacrifice, look?"
Pei Ziyun took a look, and sure enough, the bull was fat and strong, the horns were intact and shiny, and the fur was smooth. It was indeed a good bull.
nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that Prince Paris was satisfied, Gusnier stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The thing you told me has been done. As for what you want to know, I have also investigated."
"Theseus is dead. Before he left Athens, he sent his sons Akamas and Demophon to Ubia, and asked them to go to King Elfnoah, and then took a boat to Skullos, where the king Saved the large fortune left by Theseus' father."
"But the king Lycomeds was afraid of the hero, or he and Meynasterus had a secret agreement to take Theseus to a cliff on the island and lied to let Theseus look at his father Fortune, theseus was unprepared and pushed him off the cliff with a push from behind. Theseus fell into the sea and died."
"Theseus is dead, and the danger has fallen sharply. King Menastius has become less alert, but he has not allowed Akamas and Demophon to return."
"It’s just that a giant appeared in Athens, grabbing the herdsmen who entered the mountain and eating. The king failed in several crusades, and he was old again, so he couldn’t commit suicide."
" Akamas and Demophon contacted King Menastius and said that as long as King Menastius allowed them to come back and return part of Theseus' property, they would kill the giant. "
"However, King Menastius allowed only a portion of Theseus' personal property to be returned, but he was unwilling to accept them as citizens. He only allowed Gentiles to come to Athens by accident."
"The deadlock is here now."
After listening to Da Wu, Pei Ziyun turned out to be a giant’s pot. He just muttered: "In the original mythology, there was no mention of encountering a tide of monsters before the crusade against Troy!"
"Is it not recorded originally, or is it a variable caused by me?"
just thought about it, and listened to Gosnier to continue saying: "Also, the friendship with the merchants and bards in the city of Athens is also very smooth, because everyone is willing to approach the noble and pious prince."
"Well, good, you did a good job, Gusnier." Pei Ziyun praised: "You go down and rest first!"
"Okay, Prince Paris." Gosnier left.
"Bring the bull here, let's go to the Parthenon!" Pei Ziyun told his servant to take the bull and take the guards along the street.
A towering building stands on a high hill. This is the Parthenon that stands on the highest point of the Acropolis.
The Temple of faces east from the west, which is very different from the layout of Da Xu’s sitting north and south. It stands on the three-story marble steps and is surrounded by 46 marble columns with grooves. At the door, there is a priest. Look Going up is a middle-aged man with a beard and bowing slightly: "Prince Paris, the king ordered me to wait for you here. Come in."
Pei Ziyun nodded and took the reins of the bull held by the servant, led the bull up the three marble steps, and followed the priest into the gate of the temple.
The ceiling of the temple has reliefs covering the entire dome, and there are reliefs on the four walls.
The cloisters are all cylindrical columns made of marble, passing through the cloister, the eyes suddenly open up, and a huge altar lies in front of them.
In the center of the altar is Pei Ziyun who has seen Athena, and the idol is much taller than the real person.
Pei Ziyun immediately took the bull and gave it to the priest.
The two assistants checked and were very satisfied. They put a wreath on it and sent it to the altar. The priest took out the jar of water and splashed the altar and bull on it, and prayed.
The bull was a little panicked, but the two of them were **** and couldn't move. The priest stabbed with a knife. With a "puff", the bull hissed, blood flowing on the altar like a fountain.
The priest is very skillful in cutting off the cow's head, removing the internal organs and bones, sorting the meat, and praying.
"Puff" The best piece of beef disappeared. I remember that when I went to the temple to worship Athena, Athena ignored or refused the sacrifice, but this time it seemed a little different.
The priest met, and first smiled: "Prince Paris, the goddess is satisfied with your sacrifice."
At this moment, a light flashed, and the priest's expression changed, saying: "God has descended from the oracle, Prince Paris, the goddess said that you will suffer bad luck in the future."
The priest looked at Pei Ziyun complicatedly. In his opinion, the gods had already sent down the oracle saying that Prince Paris would suffer bad luck in the future. There is no doubt about this.
"Will you suffer bad luck in the future?" Pei Ziyun has no doubt about this. Originally, Paris died unexpectedly, and Troy was directly destroyed.
Pei Ziyun's complexion changed, he made a horrified expression, tore his clothes, and said: "I also ask the great and wise Athena to have mercy. I would like to offer gold."
said, and ordered the servant: "You immediately get the gold from the car."
After a while, a gold brick will be offered, which weighs 200 grams.
Don’t look at some stories, the unit of one talent gold is often used, but in ancient Greece it was worth 25.5 kilograms. When Alexander came to the throne, the Macedonian treasury had only 70 talents of silver. At that time, silver and gold were one to eleven. , That is, there are only 6 tarent gold.
Even when the Kingdom of Macedonia does not expand, it has a population and area a hundred times the size of all the city-states. He can't come up with 10 talent gold, let alone Troy?
The priest took a breath, and immediately understood Troy’s wealth, so he continued to pray, then the gold disappeared, and a new oracle passed down.
"Prince Paris, the goddess said that your wife will save you." As he said, the priest smiled again.
"Your wife will save you." Pei Ziyun's heart moved. This word is a bit subtle. In the original script, there was an oracle that said: "Only the abandoned wife, Onone, can save Paris from death. "
After Paris was poisoned by the arrow, he had to be carried by his servant to Mount Ida. His ex-wife still lived there, but Onone had been waiting on the mountain for ten years. When they met in an instant, the resentment prevailed and she resented. Said: "I am a person abandoned by you, go, or find the young and beautiful Helen, and ask her to help you. Your tears and cries can never be exchanged for my sympathy!"
said, she drove Paris out of the door, and Paris was killed.
But now, the oracle has undergone a subtle change.
"Your wife will save you."
This is not only the result of Pei Ziyun being kind to Onone, but also that he didn't hear the determination to kill in it, even if it was the hostile Athena, or the oracle would not say that.
"Gods, don't have the will to kill me?" Pei Ziyun, what kind of person, immediately keenly felt this, his situation seemed to be better than originally thought?
Thinking about it, I thought about it, and ordered the car to return to the residence, only to go back. Before there was time to meditate, Koseliya came in to report to Pei Ziyun.
"Prince Paris, you handed me the paperwork that records the goods and expenses. I have already made a detailed record. Please check it out." After speaking, he took out the paperwork and handed it to Pei Ziyun.
"Well, you put it on the table first." Pei Ziyun said.
Koselia put down the document, and continued: "Also, I have also recorded the list of merchants and poets in the association of Master Gusni. We will not send gifts directly according to your instructions. It is given for indirect and reasonable reasons-this is a detailed list, please have a look."
Koseliya took out another piece of parchment and handed it to Pei Ziyun.
Pei Ziyun smiled bitterly, Koselia worked vigorously, and he didn't sit hot when he came back, so he brought a bunch of headaches, and now he is not in the mood to look at them for the time being.
But having such a capable subordinate saves a lot of energy. Koselia takes care of things in an orderly manner, which allows him to have more time.
"Keselia, put the list on the table too, you have worked hard too, take a good rest." Pei Ziyun said with a smile.
"Prince Paris, I'll go down first!" Koselia saw that Prince Paris was not in high spirits, and she quickly said goodbye, so as not to arouse Prince Paris's disgust.
"Well, you go."
After Koselia left, the room became quiet, and Pei Ziyun sat alone and thought.
"Remember that Paris was not on the kill list, but still left a glimmer of life, but Paris himself did not grasp it and completely cut off the Troy royal family."
"Is it possible that due to the descendants of Zeus, the Trojan royal family originally had a glimmer of hope?"
"No, no, you can't think like this. Even if the Troy royal family still has a ray of hope, Paris is actually a fuse in the script. When it comes to fighting, he is the soy saucer."
"Zeus cuts off powerful heroes. This kind of weak who can be killed but not killed will naturally have a ray of life."
"But I can upgrade, and I will become stronger and stronger. In this case, I am afraid that this vitality will be..." Pei Ziyun sighed heavily as he thought of this, his eyes darkened.
"But I, I can’t help but level up, and place my hopes in hopes in case. I’m still following a step-by-step plan, trying to make a **** road in this round."
Pei Ziyun returned to his original path, and muttered: "Menastus participated in the coalition and did not do much, but as I guessed, he was weak. Instead, he retreated all over, just came back, and was killed by Theseus. His son De Mofeng seized the throne."
"I can't alarm the gods like a storm. The plan to attack the mainland of Greece is not feasible."
" But Mingxiu plank roads are not good, but secrets are not. If the battle of Troy is critical, there is a letter in the rear of Athens, saying that the son of Theseus, De Mofeng, has rushed to the city of Athens to connect citizens, and Mei is on the front line of Troy. What will Nastus think?"
"Not only Athens, but also other city-states, the commander-in-chief Agamemnon did not return for a long time, and Queen Clyteniestra colluded with Aegistos and assassinated when he returned. "
"Odysseus has not returned for a long time, and there are suitors who want to seize his wife and usurp the throne."
"I don't believe that after many years of fighting on the front lines of Troy, no one in Greece wants to plot against these heroes in order to seize their foundation!"
"Maybe some people would like some heroes on the front line to die soon~IndoMTL.com~ Then they can seize the property and the throne."
"I don’t need to lie, it’s easy to be discovered by the gods, and it’s found that I’m doing a ghost, but under normal circumstances, people far away from home will also get oral messages or letters from home, I just let the appropriate The message is delivered to the right place and the right person."
"I am not even a spy or secret organization. Even if the gods noticed by accident, it is normal business and communication."
"I spent so much energy and time to collect information on local people and products, and to build a good relationship with the troubadour. Isn't it just for the slight changes at this critical moment? "
"The whole situation will be swayed by this slight change. The art of war is not just a storm, but the drizzle and breeze that the gods have not even noticed. How should we guard against it?"
"The next step is coming to Sparta, great gods, you have made moves, but now, I have one move."
Pei Ziyun suppressed his mood and smiled. If it weren't for this trick, why should he be patient and try his best to visit the city-states along the way?
In this kind of world, there will be light breeze and drizzle, and then waves will be superimposed on top of it, until it becomes a huge wave.
