Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 540: The messenger
Troy
There is a lot of celebration in the city. Whether it is the residence of the elders, the residence of citizens, or the slums where the freedmen are located, they all awakened in advance.
After Prince Paris returned, he first offered sacrifices to the gods, and then continued to present gifts to kings, princes, and elders. Now it is finally the turn of ordinary citizens, even freed people.
Three consecutive days and three nights of the sports meeting, and the bread and singing and dancing were given. There was a troubadour in the street proclaiming to the citizens and freedmen: "...Decades ago, the Greek Heraklé Si attacked our city while we were living and working in peace and contentment, robbed our princess Hesione, and killed most of the citizens. Now, we finally have our revenge."
"Prince Paris snatched Helen back, shame us off the shame, and generously shared the seized property with everyone..."
"God bless Prince Paris, if we are guilty, we will bear it together!" The people below cheered.
"Of course, Telamon treated our princess Hesione kindly and made her his legal wife. Now, we must also treat Helen kindly."
"That's right, we Trojans will not be ungrateful and will not bully the weak."
When the last elder Ernes sent Prince Paris out of the gate, he heard the cheers from the street and couldn't help but say: "Listen, this is the people cheering for you, Prince Paris."
Pei Ziyun smiled slightly. He had been wearing a samurai white tunic, a bronze belt and a dagger. At this time, he said: "It is for Troy to cheer. We are all working hard for Troy's strength. The benefits should also be shared with the people."
"You are right, Prince Paris." Elder Ernis nodded again and again. As far as he knew, this time Prince Paris gave 2/3 of the looted property to the king, prince, elder, and citizen.
This is undoubtedly a great character.
For the ancient Greeks, robbery is not a crime, as long as you share it with the people, this is a hero.
Prince Paris is a hero from this point.
After going out, Pei Ziyun did not leave immediately, standing on the steps not far away looking at the city, feeling the warm atmosphere, shaking his head: "This kind of celebration, I am afraid that there will not be much in the future."
"My venerable master, Prince Paris, what are you looking at? Do you see the whole city cheering for you?" Gosnier, who came over, bowed slightly.
The young prince took a look, laughed, and said unceremoniously: "Do you feel bad about these gold?"
"Yeah, I thought they could stay. I didn't want you to spend them. They flowed like the Achelous River."
"No, my dear friend Gosne, you haven't learned much yet."
"If I only come back, I can't wait to offer sacrifices to the gods and present gifts to kings, princes, elders, and citizens. It will only be regarded as a guilty conscience and bribe."
"Whoever takes it is justified, because this is the necessary cost to solve my trouble."
"But now, the Council of Citizens and Elders has decided to support me and has taken on this responsibility. I will take it out again. It is an unexpected gift. Everyone is grateful to me-have you sacrificed?"
"Yes, I supervised the messenger and presented gifts to the gods on your behalf. All the gods who have temples in Troy have got their share."
"The great Zeus has doubled."
"Very good, what about the other information?" Pei Ziyun is very satisfied. For himself, he has touched the threshold of immortality. He understands that the monarch and the gods are very similar in some aspects, but they have the eyes of immortal gods. More broad, the plan is more distant.
However, it is necessary to show respect to the gods and monarchs.
Even if it is a hostile god, Pei Ziyun never forgets to give a gift—for example, Hera.
"Prince Paris, according to the latest information from our people, Agamemnon killed the sika deer of the goddess Artemis during the last hunt. In order to calm the goddess’ anger, Agamemnon kissed himself Daughter Iphigenia offered sacrifices to the goddess, but at the last minute, Iphigenia was picked up by the goddess."
Gusnier was also very shocked. Last time Prince Paris asked himself to pay attention to the hunting of Agamemnon, he was still wondering, he didn't know the purpose of paying attention to this.
But this time Agamemnon hunted and killed the sika deer of the goddess Artemis. Gusne was shocked. Prince Paris could even know this kind of things involving gods in advance. It was so magical. .
Pei Ziyun quietly listened to the report of Gosne, and when he heard that Iphigenia was picked up by the goddess Artemis, he raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself: "Artemis, really wise Goddess."
This inconspicuous goddess in mythology is actually ranked very high in Olympus. Its divine power is above Apollo, and even above Hera. It’s just hera. ) Only with a part of Zeus's authority can he surpass her in name.
In this Agamemnon hunting incident, Artemis blocked the heroes of all Greece from going to sea just for a sika deer, and also claimed Princess Iphigenia. Although the prince and the king agreed, but if the goddess Accepting it in this way will actually have an adverse effect on her image.
The prince did not know that it was the acquiescence and instruction of Zeus and Hera.
But she replaced the princess Iphigenia with a sika deer. In this incident, instead of discrediting, the goddess was tolerant and kind.
"It's not easy!"
After listening to a report, Pei Ziyun no longer thought about the goddess, just muttered: "Really? Agamemnon chose to consolidate his power and kill his own daughter Iphigenia?"
"Yes, Prince Paris." Gusnier confirmed and answered.
"Agamemnon, you have chosen this path, and you are dead in the heart of God and your queen. Now you only need you to command the coalition forces."
"The emotional basis between Agamemnon and the queen was originally not good. It was Agamemnon who killed the queen Clyteniesra’s husband Tantalus and took the child from Clyteniesra. Snatched and killed in his arms."
"The queen’s elderly father Tindarius knew that this was the will of Zeus, and had to forgive Agamemnon, and married his daughter to him, and Clyteniestra kept his marriage vows. , To be a loyal wife and gave birth to three daughters and one son for you."
"Now, you are going to kill your own daughter. In this case, all feelings are over, and the Omen of Death is already on your head. This is your destiny."
Pei Ziyun shook his head, feeling sorry for Agamemnon's actions.
Actually, from his point of view, Clyteniestra killed Agamemnon for a considerable reason. Who would fall in love with someone who killed his husband, killed his own child, and wanted to kill his own daughter? ?
When Agamemnon revealed his ambition to unify Greece and become the king of kings, his destiny was doomed.
Zeus will never allow Agamemnon to continue to exist, because the king of kings that Agamemnon wants can violate his domain.
Just thinking, a servant hurried over: "Prince Paris, the palace is here to report, the Greek messenger is here, Menelaus, Paramedes and Odysseus are in the palace. There is a quarrel, and the king wants you to pass right away."
Only then did the words fall, a small plum blossom appeared quickly, and quickly zoomed in, turning into a transparent data frame, appearing in front of the eyes with a faint sense of light.
"Task: Counterattack the Greek messenger, fight for morality, and fight Menelaus."
"Well, I know, you tell my father, I will go to the palace." Looking at the system task, Pei Ziyun said and got up, Gusnier slowly backed out.
"The messenger was making a big noise? Looking at the situation of the three people, it is obvious that they have come to gain the righteousness of this war, and want to transfer the responsibility of this war to Troy?"
Pei Ziyun immediately understood the meaning of the system, not to mention kicking the responsibility to the Greeks, at least half of the two parties responsible for this war are the minimum bottom line.
"Duel, in this era, this is a very normal and responsible practice. If I can make good use of it, the legal principles of war will be solved in half." Pei Ziyun thought. At this time, Gesne, who had just retired, had already pulled the carriage. Ready, so got into the carriage.
"Pop." With a sound of a horse whip, the carriage galloped towards the palace. When Pei Ziyun hurried to the palace, he rushed to the entrance of the hall and was about to enter when he heard Odysseus talking.
"Dear King Priam, I strongly protest the abduction of Queen Helen of Sparta and the robbery of the palace by the Trojan Prince Paris, which is a serious violation of the civil law and the way of the host and guest."
"As a Greek messenger, I solemnly ask Troy to return the property of Queen Helen of Sparta and Prince Paris robbed of the Spartan palace. If Troy cannot return it in time, King Priam, with all due respect , This will directly lead to the outbreak of war, which will inevitably bring huge losses to you and your kingdom."
Odysseus's reasonable and well-founded remarks produced good results. Troy was silent for a while, and everyone fell silent.
Paris Medes looked at the performance of the people in Troy, thinking that these people were afraid of the power of Greece, and felt that Troy did not dare to confront the powerful Greece, but remembered Agamemnon’s instructions and Menela With the look in his eyes, Oss stood up and said: "Ah, King Priam, the Greeks would rather die than endure the insults and bullying from outsiders."
As soon as he said this, the Trojan frowned: "You Greeks can't bear the insult and bullying. Are we Troy willing to bear your insult and bullying?"
Odysseus cursed secretly in his heart, but he didn't intend to stop Paramedes. After all, this was what Agamemnon meant-peace talks, but they couldn't succeed.
Just listen to Paramedes saying loudly: "We were furious and decided to wash away the shame they suffered. Therefore, our supreme commander, the most famous hero in all of Greece, the mighty King Agamem of Mackeny Nong, and all the Greek heroes and princes, please ask me to tell you: return the queen you robbed and all your belongings to us, otherwise, you will be completely destroyed."
Speaking, Paramedes also listed the names of the princes of all the powers of Greece. Upon hearing such provocative remarks, the sons of Priam and the elders of Troy were agitated and vowed to give the Greeks a bit of color. Look.
"You are so arrogant, I want to see what you can do to destroy Troy." An elder white Troy stood up and said.
"Foreigners, Troy is no longer the Troy that you destroyed at will. You still want to destroy our home as you did in the past. How naive and ridiculous is this idea." Even the elders of the Peace faction stood up and said .
"Father, I think we Troy should teach the arrogant Greeks a lesson." Prince De Iphobos said.
"You Greeks want to destroy Troy, and we also want to destroy your homeland—Greece." Troyros jumped out and said.
Priam raised his right hand and asked everyone to be quiet. He stood up on the throne and said to the three messengers: "Outsiders, your fellow townsman Hercules attacked us while we were living and working. The city, and destroyed it, and at the same time he snatched my innocent sister Hesione, and then gave her to his friend Telamon as a slave."
When Priam said this, his eyes were sad, and he seemed to have fallen into an unbearable past, and continued to say: "Thanks to Te Ramon for making my sister his legal wife, but this is still We can’t make up for the insult and bullying against us. To return Helen and Sparta’s belongings, there must be a condition. You must first send my sister Hesione back."
All the Trojans participating in the meeting agreed with the king’s speech~IndoMTL.com~Paramedes did not agree with Priam’s speech, saying: "Trojans, listen, it’s impossible to fulfill our requirements. Any prerequisites, what our father Hercules did, we will not be responsible for it."
"But one of your sons, Paris, insulted us wantonly, we must unconditionally meet our requirements and make a wise decision early, lest you suffer complete destruction."
Paramedes' remarks were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and Priam and all the Trojans present were completely angered.
Even though some of them didn't want to completely tear their faces with the Greeks at first, they were angry at this time, and they wanted to fight the arrogant Greeks immediately.
At this moment, listening to the fierce confrontation inside, Pei Ziyun entered the palace and laughed and said: "So this is what you mean. The Greeks can rob us, but the Trojans cannot retaliate. The Greeks must wash away their shame. And Trojans must swallow their anger, right?"
Speaking of this, the smile on Pei Ziyun's face is full of sarcasm.
In Paramedes’ logic, it is only natural for the Greeks to rob Troy, but it is heinous for the Trojans to rob the Greeks and requires an unconditional apology.
"Maybe this is what most Greeks think?" Pei Ziyun thought secretly.
After all, the whole of Greece is powerful. Although Troy is also a big country, it is still a lot worse than the powerful Greece. This is the logic of a big country.
As soon as Pei Ziyun's voice fell, he suddenly jumped out and roared: "Paris."
Pei Ziyun looked over and saw that one of the three messengers was staring at him angrily, knowing that this person was Spartan King Menelaus.
I saw Menelaus raging to the sky, with his hand on the sword on his waist, he was about to draw the sword.
"You despicable man, give Helen back to me!"
