Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 521: Ransom
Athens City
In a tavern in the city, Gusnier is drinking with several troubadours.
There were figs, snacks, and wine on the table. Some troubadours were blessed by Apollo and possessed talents, and became guests of nobles and kings.
But some of them fell down on the street doing art. Gusnier was instructed by Prince Paris, and he didn’t need to look for those who are famous. So these few were all down. Everyone ate and drank on the table. The wine in hand.
A troubadour with a goatee said: "Gusnie, thank you very much for your hospitality. I never thought that you followed Prince Paris and became so generous."
An old man hiccuped and was drunk and said, "Gosne, when I knew you, you were just like me. I didn't expect you to stop writing poems and become so wealthy. It's better to follow Prince Paris. "
Gosnier looked at the few troubadours in front of him, feeling inwardly, and at the same time a sense of pride was born, but a slightly thin face, and has not spoken to the troubadour, was quite disapproving, and said, "Gosnier , It’s good for you to climb up to Prince Paris, but everything will be prosperous, and everything will be lost. If Prince Paris loses power one day, you will be much worse than us by then."
Gesnier's face changed when he heard this, and the two around him were also embarrassed. In order to avoid Gusni's anger, he quickly asked Gusni to continue talking about the prince.
At this moment, there was a noise coming from a distance, and someone shouted: "Bear man, bear man."
Several troubadours thought that the bear man entered the city, and immediately jumped up in shock. I looked carefully and found that it was not a bear who entered the city, and he was relieved.
Pei Ziyun was standing on a chariot covered with wreaths at the moment, smiling, waving to the surrounding crowd, and everyone in the city cheered and celebrated that the bear head was transported to the city of Athens.
"Paris."
"Paris."
There were shouts from the crowd. Everyone admired Prince Paris for beheading the bearman.
"Why did Prince Paris kill the bear man? He only entered the mountain yesterday?" Several troubadours stared, as if they couldn't believe that Prince Paris could return in triumph so quickly.
"It seems that there is nothing wrong, you see, the king is here to welcome Prince Paris."
I saw King Menastius greet him on the street, with a guard behind him, and he happily said to Paris: "Prince Paris, you are so brave. You came back triumphantly with the head of the bear man so soon. ."
"This is the blessing of the gods, so I can complete this task quickly." Pei Ziyun said.
King Menastius gave Pei Ziyun a hug. In the curious eyes of the people, he did not return to the palace, but turned to the Temple of Zeus.
Temple of Zeus
The temple of is located in the southeast of the Acropolis, in the middle of a vast flat area on the banks of the Irisos River. The whole temple is surrounded by green valleys and clear streams. The scenery is elegant, and there is a dense forest not far away, full of greenery. , The path in the forest is even more beautiful.
Pei Ziyun, led by King Menastius, quickly arrived outside the Temple of Zeus in a chariot.
The temple is rectangular, 108 meters long and 41 meters wide. The whole building is located on a complete foundation. The temple is supported by 104 cylindrical marble pillars, each of which reaches a staggering 18 meters.
The priests of the temple had been waiting at the door early, and led King Menastus and Pei Ziyun into the door of the temple together.
The temple of has four huge arches, each of which is 15 meters high and 8 meters wide.
stepping into the arch, looking up is a rectangular dome, the dome is engraved with colorful murals related to the gods, and on the walls around the temple, relief sculptures are vivid, showing the demeanor of the gods.
The priest was silent all the way, seemingly not planning to introduce the gods of the temple. The servant took the two bulls, holding the bear head and gold, and stepped to follow.
Across the corridor of the temple, an altar of any gods is several times larger. The altar is in front of the three people. In the center of the altar is a statue of Zeus, which is 12 meters high.
As soon as the three of them walked to the statue and stood up, Pei Ziyun felt a gaze coming over.
"It's Zeus." Pei Ziyun thought to himself.
The servant brought two bulls and gave them to the priest.
Several assistants checked it and were very satisfied. They brought wreaths to the two bulls and presented them to the altar. The priest splashed the altar and bulls with clear water and prayed. With the help of the assistants, two bulls were slaughtered for a while. After that, the priest was very skillful in cutting off the bull's head and sorting the meat.
Then, Pei Ziyun personally took the bear’s head and a gold brick weighing 200 grams and placed it on the altar, raising his hands to pray: "Great and resourceful king of the gods, with your blessing, I can kill the bear man. , All this glory belongs to you, I hope you accept my sacrifice."
This time, both the gold and the bear head disappeared. It was obvious that the gods had taken it, but the beef was only a little bit missing.
The priest smiled at this moment and said to Pei Ziyun: "Prince Paris, the gods are very satisfied with your bear head and gold."
King Menastius accompanied him to watch the whole process of the sacrifice. There was no shortage of beef. This is not surprising, or the reason why the great Zeus once changed the bull.
But the bear's head and gold disappeared, showing that the gods are still very satisfied with Prince Paris, so that he can still maintain the considerable friendship with Prince Paris as always.
When the two left the temple, Pei Ziyun officially bid farewell to King Menastus. The king said with a little regret: "Prince Paris, you will gain my friendship."
said, asking the servant to send the remaining eighteen bulls.
Pei Ziyun watched King Menastius go away, thinking about what happened to the temple of Zeus during this sacrifice, and was uncertain in his heart.
The servants drove eighteen bulls, and the Temple of Zeus went all the way through the streets. One bull was very valuable in ancient Greece, while the eighteen bulls were a huge amount of property.
When the bull passed through the city, people were talking about it.
"Look, this is the bull that King Menastius gave to Prince Paris."
"These bulls are the reward that Prince Paris paid for destroying the bear people."
"Prince Paris is really brave and good at fighting, and respects the gods."
Citizens in the city, came to watch the demeanor of the eighteen bulls. It seemed that these bulls were all earned by them, and the bulls also cooperated and walked all the way to the port along the road. With the efforts of the servants, they caught up. ferry.
At this time, a car slowly approached the port, and someone brought a small box from the car.
Pei Ziyun instructed his servant to transport the box to the cabin, and when he opened it, he discovered that it was bronze and gold. There were 500 grams of gold, which was a huge amount.
Pei Ziyun looked at it, smiled and said, "Akamas is still very interesting, so that I will pay for the two sacrifices to the gods."
This is the end, as long as Akamas doesn't trouble him, he won't make trouble again.
"Gesni, how is the contact with the bards in the city?" Pei Ziyun asked Gusni.
"I have contacted Prince Paris and the troubadours in the city. A few of them are my original friends. Except for a few stubborn, others are willing to approach the noble Prince Paris." Gusni said. .
"Yeah, you did a good job, and then go to the next destination. You have to pay close attention to this matter, and we have to fill up the cargo on board." Pei Ziyun said, traveling is doing business, or else Even if there is gold from the treasury, I can't hold it anymore.
"Understood, Prince Paris." Gusni bowed.
"Keselia, what's the matter with you?" Pei Ziyun asked.
"Prince Paris, I have memorized the entry and exit of the goods and expenses in detail, and I have put them on your desk, and I have also recorded the list of the troubadours whom Master Ganez contacted. The same has been placed on your table." Koseliya said.
"Well, you did a good job too." Pei Ziyun praised, and invited the captain again, commanding: "We will set sail later and go to Delos and Cyprus immediately."
"While the bull is still growing fat, let's go quickly. It won't be good if the bull is fat."
"I see, Prince Paris." The captain replied.
just for a moment, yelling, sailing, and paddling all became busy, and someone looked at the warships carefully, and saw these warships, all with long bronze horns, long and narrow, with three layers.
The guards and soldiers were busy up and down, everything was in order, and for a moment, the battleship went out to sea slowly.
Seeing the fleet go away, Akamas was full of anger in the corner, but De Mofeng persuaded: "Brother, this time, Prince Paris is merciful, because you are going to assassinate him first, he can Leave you behind, and if he gives you and the other corpses to King Menastius, the King will not miss this opportunity to hit us, and the King will pay more."
"And the gods are on board, these soldiers..." De Mofeng pointed to the warships in the distance: "I just counted. There are fifty soldiers on each ship, and seven ships are three hundred and fifty soldiers. "
"An ordinary city-state is mobilized, that's the number!" De Mofeng said solemnly: "Brother, you still don't go against Prince Paris~IndoMTL.com~You are not his opponent."
Mofeng patiently persuades.
It’s okay not to say that. Once I said, Akamas was very angry: "Paris didn’t dare to fight face to face, and even sprinkled sand on the battlefield. Also, if it wasn’t because you, a coward, didn’t participate, if you could If you help us, I won’t lose so badly."
said, turned around and left.
Mofeng shook his head and pondered for a long time: "Prince Paris, I can't see through!"
arrived in Athens. It was not the first stop. There were rumors along the way. Although it was a bit degrading, it was generally positive, enthusiastic, good at music, and good at martial arts.
and he knew the rules. No prince would hug him, but when Prince Paris entered the city, he left all the soldiers at the harbour and paid for food and water. Only ten slaves were brought into the city by himself.
This is also the reason why the kings along the way are willing to welcome them warmly.
"Prince Paris, it should be our friend, not the enemy, so we have a lot of confidence in regaining Athens, but unfortunately it was destroyed by the reckless Akamas." At this time, Damofeng did not know immediately. During the Troy War, someone might have heard the wind, but that was the highest level of humanity.
The sons of Theseus, who lost the throne, don’t know this yet, and they just feel sorry in their hearts.
