Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 541: Duel proposal
Pei Ziyun looked at Menelaus’s long sword on his waist and prepared to draw the sword, his tone was cold: “Menelaus, if I were you, I wouldn’t be able to draw the sword. This is Troy. Palace, you want to challenge the entire Troy with just three people?"
Speaking of this, Pei Ziyun said with a murderous face: "As long as you draw a sword, you are no longer an envoy, but a mob who attacked Troy, and I can kill you reasonably and legally."
Speaking, Pei Ziyun swept across the three envoys with cold eyes. Odysseus shivered and smelled death. He held Menelaus’ hand and said, "Paris, You are right, we are messengers now and should not draw our swords, but you did rob Queen Helen of Sparta and the palace property. Don’t you feel ashamed in front of your husband?"
"What's more, once a war breaks out, I don't know how many people lose their lives for it. In the face of this, don't you feel ashamed in front of God?"
Odysseus's lip-synching and arguing brought back the passive situation that had been trapped by Menelaus's actions all at once.
Pei Ziyun cried out to be terrible, Odysseus occupied the moral commanding ground everywhere, and now all the charges were on him.
I can't let him take the "righteousness" away, otherwise, the responsibility of this Troy War can be borne by myself.
"Odysseus, favored by God, you have attacked our city, even destroyed our home, and robbed my innocent aunt Hesione. What I did in Sparta this time It was originally a reasonable and reasonable revenge."
As Pei Ziyun said, when they saw Odysseus they wanted to refute, they waved their hands again and stopped.
"As for bloodshed and more people losing their lives, I know that your fleet is already here, so I have a proposal to prevent more people from losing their lives."
"I also hope that you will be considerate of everyone, and don't easily provoke a meaningless war, causing more people to lose their lives."
"Oh, what do you suggest?" Odysseus asked.
"Menelaus, please let the Trojans and Greeks lay down their weapons first. I am willing to fight alone with you, the king of Sparta, for Helen."
Pei Ziyun walked to Menelaus, stared into his eyes, and said solemnly.
Odysseus did not expect Prince Paris to be so difficult. Just now he finally grabbed justice to his side and made the other party passive. He did not expect Paris to directly turn the war between Troy and Greece into him and There was a duel between Menelaus.
The other party's meaning was obvious. He said that launching a war would cause many people to lose their lives, so he directly gave a solution-he duel with Menelaus alone.
The success or failure of a single duel between them can decide Helen's stay or stay. At that time, Greece still insists on launching a war, and the first responsibility for the war is Greece.
"It's amazing." Odysseus thought to himself.
Of course, Pei Ziyun didn’t know Odysseus’s thoughts, and continued: “Whoever of us wins in the match will take Helen back. I even agree that if I lose, I will not only give Helen back, I also compensate my life and all my wealth."
Odysseus's pupils shrank slightly, but Paris was determined to be so big, and Menelaus wouldn't be able to refuse it.
"So, you Greeks want to reduce blood and sacrifices while fulfilling your vows to the gods. Whether it is the blood of the Greeks or the blood of Troy, please fight!"
"Unless you Greeks did not come for Helen at all, but only for plunder. In that case, I can say to the gods that this **** crime must be borne by the Greeks."
The words are very level and loud.
Olysius' heart sank, and he murmured in response, and saw Paris talking to Menelaus.
"Menelaus, you are the descendant of Zeus and the king of Sparta. You will not refuse to fight because of fear of failure and bloodshed?"
This is mean. Sparta is the kingdom of warriors. If the king is afraid to fight his enemies, the king will not be able to go on. Not to mention, he will bet on the reputation of Zeus.
Odysseus heard that Pei Ziyun said this, and his heart sank, knowing that Menelaus had been forced into a blind spot, and there was no room for rejection.
Sure enough, Menelaus did not refuse, and immediately said: "Okay, Paris, we will fight in front of God and everyone."
"No hurry, you are messengers this time. It is certainly not suitable for a duel, but we can conclude a treaty. When your Greek fleet arrives, we will be just in front of the Trojans and Greeks, in front of the gods. And the duel is fair."
"Okay." Menelaus said, hating Paris very much in his heart, and he was confident in his own force, and immediately agreed.
Seeing Menelaus agreed, Pei Ziyun called the servant to fetch the parchment, and on the spot drafted a treaty for the duel between the two sides, each holding one copy, and signing each other's names on the parchment.
Pei Ziyun raised his hands and prayed to the gods. In fact, he understood that he and Menelaus were the cause of the war. Unless there is a special change, the gods would not let themselves kill Menelaus. The opposite is also true. However, he still wanted to test if he could kill Menelaus on the spot.
When the treaty is concluded, there are also court priests praying, telling the treaty to the gods, and letting the gods bear a testimony. In this way, the constraints of the treaty will be stronger.
Odysseus's face was gloomy, and Paramedes also had a bad face. He felt that the situation was far beyond his control, and he didn't get righteousness, but Paris was taken in a bad direction.
Seeing that the treaty had been concluded, Priam nodded secretly and was very satisfied. Originally, Troy had been made passive by the three Greek envoys. Unexpectedly, when Paris came, the situation was easily changed back.
Although I am a little worried about Paris's duel with Menelaus, it can also be seen that Paris is a responsible prince and avoids responsibility without the support of Introy.
Furthermore, although Menelaus is a descendant of Zeus, so are his own family. Paris dared to take the initiative to raise this matter, indicating that he was certain in his heart. Thinking of this, King Priam announced that the meeting was adjourned, and there was a solution. Although the three hateful Greek messengers are not welcome, they are messengers after all, and they are afraid that they will be attacked by angry Trojan citizens after they go out.
So Priam said: "Elder Antonor, in order to prevent the three Greek messengers from being attacked by angry Trojan citizens, I implore you to temporarily shelter them and settle them in your home."
"King Priam, you can rest assured that I will take care of the safety of the three messengers." The wise Antonol said, feeling a little depressed. Originally this was his own thought, but now it has become the king's. command.
The crowd in the palace gradually dispersed, Antenor protected the three messengers to leave, brought the three messengers to the house, and treated them warmly according to the courtesy of the guests. At the banquet, Paramedes and Odysseus They are all a little dull, with some worries in their hearts.
Paramedes whispered: "Paris is very difficult to deal with!"
Odysseus nodded heavily, agreeing with Paramedes' words.
Paris is not easy to deal with, it is simply difficult to deal with, originally today he gradually grasped the initiative in front of the Trojans, and it was only natural that the responsibility for the war was passed on to Troy.
But when Paris came, his form was reversed and he made himself very passive, and now Menelaus has been plunged into a dangerous situation.
Odysseus thought for a while, and asked Antenor, "Elder Antenor, Prince Paris, can you tell us about it?"
Antenol pondered for a while and decided to continue to forge a good relationship. After all, he was not optimistic about Troy's war against Greece at the beginning.
"Prince Paris, back then, was herding sheep on Mount Ida. It is said that one day three goddesses came and asked Paris to judge who was the most beautiful and give the golden apple to the most beautiful goddess..."
Antonore told the Greeks all about Prince Paris, including the killing of the sea monster, the two-headed lizard, and the bear man, as well as the previous advice.
However, Menelaus was only surprised to kill the Kraken, the two-headed lizard, and the bearman~IndoMTL.com~ is not afraid, because the hero is not too difficult as long as the hero is prepared.
It's not facing the cyclops. If it were this, Menelaus would have a jealousy.
The elder Antenor, Paramedes, Menelaus, and Odysseus continued to enjoy a delicious meal.
"Antonore, Prince Paris beheaded the three monsters. I don’t know who taught the martial arts?" Odysseus asked. Menelaus may not care. He still cares. In his opinion, Paris's strength was good, Menelaus easily agreed to Paris's duel, which cast a haze on his heart.
"Paris' martial arts?" Antonuoer sighed, falling into reminiscence.
"Maybe it’s the grace of the gods. Paris was a shepherd before. He had never experienced martial arts, but he was very good at bow and arrow. He won the first place in archery in one fell swoop, and then he found out that he became a prince again. ."
Listening to this, Odysseus was thinking: "Is it a gift from Apollo?"
Apollo is the **** of light, music, prophecy and medicine in ancient Greek mythology. At least at this time, he is not the sun **** Helius (Helius/), good at bows and arrows.
"But it is said that I went to the Amazon once and learned Ares' sword and shield skills from Queen Ponte Silea."
"Is it God's grace again?" The three men meditated.
In this way, Paris has always been favored by God. Only God's grace can explain why Paris has mastered the powerful martial arts so quickly.
This was said for a long time, and Antenor was dry and dry. A servant hurried forward and filled Antenor with wine. Antenor took a sip of wine and just wanted to continue speaking, Paramed Si couldn't wait to ask: "Just forget martial arts, what about knowledge? He doesn't seem to be a shepherd in the mountains at all. How did he learn this knowledge and etiquette?"
