Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 536: Time deviation
Palace
Paramedes and Odysseus rushed to the palace starry night to meet the great hero Peleus.
It’s already night, drizzle is falling in the breeze, lights are on in the palace, Odysseus is standing in front of the door, watching the palace, there are many people inside, a warrior reports, and two foreigners The prince begged to see you.
Peleus immediately ordered to come in.
The servant came out to unload the sweaty horses and led them into the stable. The manger was filled with oats and fodder, and the carriage was sent into the carriage.
Two guests were invited into the palace, bathed in warm water, washed away the dust, regained their spirits, and were introduced to Peleus.
Odysseus walked into the hall and saw a row of soft chairs with cushions on them. The nobles were sitting here to have a banquet, surrounded by bronze statues with torches in his hands. A businessman was saluting to Peleus. , And then backed out, both of them didn't care and passed by.
At the beginning of the banquet, a sacrifice ceremony was held to the gods, that is, a toast to salute, and a slight splash on the ground. After the initiation was completed, Peleus said gently: "Two distinguished guests, please sit down!"
Peleus is one of the heroes of Argo, the husband of the sea goddess Thetis, the grandson of Zeus, and the son of Aekos. At this time, it seems that he has gray hair.
The banquet includes food, fruit, wine, dancers dancing, troubadours sing poetry, and noble warriors perform swordsmanship.
But none of these attracted the attention of Paramedes and Odysseus. They had been paying attention to Peleus' reaction from the beginning of the banquet.
The two saw that Peleus only entertained him for food, drink and fun, and did not mention the Greek coalition in the slightest. They suddenly knew that the invitation to Peleus to fight against Troy was a bit suspicious.
Peleus was also observing Paramedes and Odysseus throughout the banquet, thinking of the message from the merchant, and slowly speaking, "Prince Paramedes, King Odysseus , I already know your intentions, but I am too old to participate in the war."
Paramedes stood up and said: "But you have also drunk the feast of Helen and Menelaus, and you have sworn and promised, if anyone destroys Helen and Menelaus Laos’ marriage will fight him together."
Odysseus immediately felt Paramedes's "straightening" again, smiled inwardly, but said nothing, watching Peleus' reaction.
"Yeah, I used to make such a vow, but I am old and feel powerless even if I want to go. I believe the gods will forgive me." Maybe it's because Paramedes is the island of Evia ( euboea), this is the second largest island in Greece and can be called a great country. So Peleus was very polite. Seeing Paramedes wanted to speak again, Peleus raised his right hand slightly and motioned to him to wait and continue. "I had a son who could take my place in the war, but he disappeared when he was nine years old. I asked for an oracle and said that he is still alive, but I can’t find him."
Achilles is the son of Argo’s hero Peleus and the sea goddess Thetis. When he was born, the goddess mother wanted him to be a god-man. She carried Peleus on her back at night and took her son After immersing in the Styx, in the daytime, she used magical medicine to cure her son.
She did this for several nights. Once, Peleus took a peek, and when he saw his son twitching in the Styx, he couldn't help but screamed.
This prevented Thetis from fulfilling her secret mission. She sadly left her son behind and refused to return to the palace. Instead, she hid in the ocean kingdom and lived with the fairy Nereidus.
Peleus thought his son was seriously injured and sent him to the famous doctor Chiron.
The half-man and half-horse Chiron is a smart Kentalos who has taken in and raised many heroes. He kindly adopted the child, feeding him with lion liver, pig gall bladder and bear bone marrow.
When Achilles was nine years old, the Greek prophet Karkas foretold that the future city of Troy would not be able to be captured without Peleus’s son.
Achilles’ mother heard this prophecy and knew that this battle would sacrifice her son’s life, so she quickly surfaced, sneaked into her husband’s palace, dressed her son in girl’s clothes, and sent him to Sri Lanka. Kuros Island, hand it to King Lycomeds.
This is why Achilles disappeared when he was nine years old, and Peleus searched for him and disappeared.
Peleus finally sighed: "Prince Paramedes, King Odysseus, if I have a son, I can go to war instead of me."
Paramedes and Odysseus heard what Peleus said about this, and knew that it was useless to say it, and it was urgent to find Peleus' son Achilles.
After Paramedes and Odysseus bid farewell to Peleus, they came out of the palace of Peleus and went directly to find the Greek prophet Karkas.
Kalkas is a great Greek prophet. Many of his predictions are extremely accurate. Everyone believes in his prophecies very much and thinks that he is the messenger of God.
The two trudged and found Kalkas’s residence. They just wanted to enter the mansion from the main entrance and saw a veiled woman coming out of Kalkas’s residence.
"This woman is not a mortal." Odysseus carefully felt the breath of a mysterious woman, and thought to himself.
As the woman walked away, the two met the Greek prophet Karkas.
Kalkas watched the two come together, invited to sit down, and said with regret: "Are you here to ask the whereabouts of Prince Achilles? It's a pity that the war started too fast, Ah Chloes has not yet reached the age of fifteen and cannot participate in the war."
"But you once said that to attack Troy, Achilles must participate in the war, otherwise, Troy will not be able to attack." Paramedes said.
"I said that, Achilles must join the war to attack Troy, but he is too young. Maybe in a few years, he will not be invited to participate until he turns fifteen years old."
"The war is going too fast." Calcas murmured. This is exactly the same as Odysseus said that day. Odysseus smiled: "You also think the war is going too fast? I. I also think so. It is reasonable that the war will only break out in a few years. At that time, Achilles can join the war. For no reason, everything is ahead of schedule."
"Perhaps the gods felt that the development was too slow, so they accelerated the process of the war. The gods decided whether we mortals can guess." Kalkas said.
Odysseus nodded and agreed with Karkas.
"In other words, in the war against Troy, our coalition forces could not attack Troy without the participation of Achilles. Doesn't it mean that the war will last for several years?" Paramedes asked. He always thought that the Greeks were so strong that they could go home after a few months.
"Prince Paramedes, this war of Troy has been going on for many years, and Achilles' participation in the war in his later years has little effect." Kalkas said.
"Oh? It takes such a long time. Is there a better way to end the war as soon as possible?" Paramedes raised an eyebrow, surprised. The first time I heard that the war would be going on for a long time.
The last time Hercules, but gathered a small group of people, he overcame Troy.
"I didn't notice." Karkas wiped his cold sweat regretfully, and said: "Now, let's go to Oris first."
He also wants to end the war as soon as possible, but all this is arranged by the gods. He is a prophet who knows more secrets, but cannot tell outsiders.
Odysseus seemed to know some inside information, and interrupted Paramedes' questioning and said: "Alright, let's go to Auris first, and we will know if we go there."
Kalkas glanced at Odysseus gratefully, he really didn't know how to answer Paramedes' question, but Odysseus rescued him in time.
The three rushed to Oris in a battleship.
Oris Port
At this time, a lot of heroes led the fleet to arrive. The Port of Oris was full of warships, and there were a steady stream of heroes leading the warships to Oris Port.
The trio of Odysseus rushed to Port Oris in a hurry, and they were overjoyed when they saw the unprecedented prosperity of Port Oris. I didn't expect so many heroes to respond to the call.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Paramedes was more confident in the battle against Troy. He believed that even without Achilles' participation in the war, it would be a matter of time to capture Troy.
Even if the walls of Troy are strong, they will not be able to stop the attack of so many coalition forces.
Odysseus, Paramedes, and Kalkas quickly arrived in the hall and participated in the meeting of heroes and princes. After watching for a while, they said loudly: "Everyone, the Trojan Prince Paris has openly hijacked Sparta. It’s a provocation for the whole of Greece to reach Queen Helen and bloodbath the palace."
"Paris made all of us Greeks faceless and suffered an unprecedented humiliation~IndoMTL.com~ But even if Paris did something angry and grievous, we must first salute and then send an envoy to condemn Troy and to Puria. King Moss protested."
"In this way, we can send troops to meet God's will."
"Furthermore, our preparations for war also take a certain amount of time, and many princes have not arrived yet!"
As soon as Odysseus’s voice fell, there was a heated discussion below. The focus of the discussion was not to condemn Troy, but to dispute over who to send.
"I think Odysseus's words are good. We should send an envoy to condemn Troy. I recommend Odysseus as the envoy to Troy this time."
"Well, I think Paramedes is quite suitable for Troy. As we all know, Paramedes is quite good at diplomacy.
"How could Menelaus, the bitter master, be missing for this trip to Troy? No one is more suitable than going to Troy."
Everyone had heated discussions, and some even recommended that the King of Athens Menasterus go to Troy as an envoy. Paris lived in Athens for a period of time and had a good relationship with Menasterus.
After fierce quarrels, everyone's views gradually became consistent, and finally everyone elected Paramedes, Odysseus and Menelaus as envoys.
"Paramedes, Odysseus, Menelaus, I hope you will live up to your mission, condemn Troy severely, and let King Priam surrender Paris." Agamemnon said The words "Fat" emphasized the tone, and said: "Paramedes, wait for the meeting to be over, come to me."
The messenger was sent to express his righteousness, but he didn't want to solve it peacefully. Therefore, the tone and conditions of the messenger are very important.
Go and humiliate Troy!
If you really want to solve it peacefully, how can you send the resentful Lord Menelaus?
