Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 620: Zeus’ decision
————
Zeus (zeus) felt unreliable. He pushed the clouds away with his hands and looked at Achilles in the Greek camp, but he saw a scene that made him angry.
I saw Achilles put on the horse, pierced the holes in the heel and ankle of Hector's body with a belt, and tied Hector's body to the chariot.
"Slap."
A horse whip exploded, and the horse drawn the chariot and ran around the tomb of Patroclus, while Hector's body was dragged behind the chariot and ran for three laps.
Hector's body was dragged out of gaps and traces, which is a typical corpse abuse.
The gods on the sacred mountain of Olympus were very angry when they saw this scene. They felt that Achilles' actions were too excessive and should not be forgiven.
Even Hera, who has always supported the Greeks, closed her mouth tightly.
The gods have always been very taboo against torturing the corpse, and Achilles is undoubtedly guilty of public anger.
Zeus calmly looked at Achilles in the clouds without saying a word, his heart was already burning with anger.
"Iris, you go tell Thetis and tell Achilles that the gods, including me, have abused Hector’s body wantonly and detained it in The boat didn’t let the redemption act angry.” Zeus told the rainbow goddess Iris.
"Okay, noble Zeus." After Iris said, she turned into a rainbow and disappeared on Mount Olympus.
This time the horn was sounded to gather the gods, and the main thing was to tell them that the three goddesses of destiny issued oracles, and some of the mortals would become new gods.
This is an important matter, and Zeus's greatest doubt about mortal becoming a **** is Achilles.
Not only is Achilles the strongest among mortals, but also the closest to the gods. More importantly, Achilles is the son of destiny who threatened Zeus in the prophecy.
Faced with this threat, various accidents appeared again. Zeus had already made a decision, and said to Hermes (): "Menon has not arrived yet? You give him a wind on his itinerary, so He arrived on the battlefield of Troy as soon as possible."
"I understand, dreadful father." Hermes replied, sighing in his heart. Even if Achilles has the afterglow of fate, he must be exhausted if he kills Mennon, the son of the goddess of dawn.
Zeus made up his mind to execute Achilles quickly.
Waiting for the party to end and the gods dispersed, Hera called to Apollo, who was about to leave after he had just walked to the door of the hall.
"Your awesome father, Zeus is looking for you, come with me." Hera said.
Apollo followed Hera back into the hall, and when he returned, he saw Zeus sitting on an ivory and golden throne with a green face.
Zeus has made up his mind and said with a sullen face: "Apollo, I allow you to kill Achilles immediately with the hands of a mortal. If you can't, you will kill him yourself."
"Yes." Apollo agreed.
With the permission of Zeus, Apollo doesn't need to be restrained.
He had been murderous against Achilles a long time ago, but it has always been inconvenient to do it. Even if Achilles insulted Hector's body, Apollo has always endured and did not take action against Achilles. Now With the permission of Zeus, he doesn't have to be passive.
The Deep Sea·Thetis Palace.
Iris rushed to the palace of Thetis quickly following the order of Zeus.
"Dear Elise, what brings you to me." Thetis said kindly.
"Thetis, Zeus asked me to come." Iris said lightly.
The goddess of the ocean heard that it was Zeus who asked Iris to find herself, her expression could not help becoming dignified.
"Zeus ordered me to come to you, tell you to find your son Achilles, and tell him that the gods, including Zeus, abused Hector’s body wantonly and detained it. Don't let the redemption go to anger on the boat." Rainbow Goddess Iris said.
Thetis face changed. She didn't expect Achilles to make this mistake. What made her fear even more was the tone of Zeus.
She just wanted to say something, after the rainbow goddess Iris issued Zeus's orders, her figure flashed and she disappeared into the Deep Sea Palace of Thetis.
Thetis stayed for a while, daring not to delay, and immediately left the palace, and rushed to Achilles' barracks within a while.
Because she came in stealth, the soldiers outside the barracks could not find her.
Achilles was sitting in the barracks in a daze at the moment, and even Thetis came in without noticing it.
Thetis slowly approached and sat down, and said mildly: "My dear son, you sigh with sorrow and do not eat or drink. How long will you have to torture yourself like this?"
For the encounter with Achilles, Thetis felt sympathy, but she was helpless.
Achilles watched her mother come and said, "Mother, although I killed Hector and avenged my good friend Patroclus, I am not happy at all. "
"How do you miss your good friend Patroclus. Fortunately, you are not blinded by hatred." Thetis's face turned straight and said, "My son, listen to Zeus asking me to tell you Words-it and the gods are very angry, because you tortured Hector's body, and always keep his body on the boat."
"My son, please ask for a generous ransom and hand over the body."
Thetis knew that if Achilles had to violate the will of the gods at this moment, the endless anger of the gods would greet him, and even after death, there would be no peace.
Achilles raised his head and stared at his mother: "Mother, then, I respect the opinions of Zeus and the gods! Whoever pays me the ransom can take the body back."
Achilles showed that during the day when the gods sheltered Hector's corpse, and now his mother, he figured it out. If he still held Hector's corpse, the gods would not allow it. Simply be more generous and hand over Hector's body, so as not to continue to offend the gods.
"My son, you will be happy for your decision today, and the gods will forgive you for your rashness." Thetis said happily.
At this moment, a messenger came in and said: "Honorable Prince Achilles, there is a man outside claiming to be the Trojan King Priam, and he only brought an old man."
"Oh? How dare he bring an old man to the camp, you invite him in." Achilles said.
"Yes." The messenger slowly retreated.
It didn't take long for King Priam to walk into Achilles' barracks under the guidance.
Achilles sat on the wool mat and looked at Priam who walked in. He saw that he was an old man with gray hair and many wrinkles on his face.
Priams walked into the barracks and saw Achilles sitting on the wool mat at a glance, and Achilles was also staring at him.
He hurriedly walked to Achilles, hugged his knees, kissed the hands that killed many of his sons, and looked at Achilles' face.
Achilles and his friends looked at the old man in amazement, wondering why he made such humble actions.
Know that Priam is the king of Troy, and he will be respected even in the fighting Greek camp.
The old man pleaded: "Holy Achilles, think about your father. He is as old as I am. Maybe he is also hostile and threatened by neighboring countries, isolated and fearful like me. But he is always looking forward to seeing his son again, hoping that his son can return from Troy triumphantly."
"You are right, my father Peleus has sent several waves of messengers, hoping that I will return triumphantly. He misses me very much." Achilles said.
Priam listened to Achilles’ words and continued: “Yes, your father Peleus misses you, at least he can send a messenger to communicate with you, but what about me? When I came to Troy, I had ten sons, and they all died one after another."
"I am the person who lost the most in this war. Now you have taken the only son who can protect us, the city and the people."
"My sons, they will never come back again. When I miss them, what else can I do without crying from their graves?"
"Holy Achilles, I hope you have pity on me. I have lost ten sons. Even the only one who can protect our son's body~IndoMTL.com~ I cannot bury him, I am How sad and desperate."
"Therefore, I came to your warship, hoping to redeem my son Hector, and I brought you a large ransom."
"Son of Peleus, please follow God's advice, think about your father, have mercy on me!"
Priams came to Achilles' warship this time, with the determination to become benevolent if he fails, and to express his heartfelt wishes.
The effect of Priam's words was very obvious. It aroused Achilles' nostalgia for his elderly father, Peleus.
Achilles gently let go of the old man’s hand, helped him up, and said sympathetically: "Poor, you have suffered so much. You have shown so much courage that you dare to come alone. Go to my warship and meet someone who killed your son."
"Well, I am willing to return Hector's body to you, because my mother has told me Zeus' orders."
"Moreover, I also understand that it was God who helped you and brought you on my warship. Otherwise, no matter how courageous a mortal is, he would not be able to come here."
Actually, this was the main reason Achilles agreed. How strict the Greek camp is, and this old man entered all the way without disturbing anyone. This must be the direct help of God. Now, God’s attitude is already very Obviously.
No matter how confident Achilles was, he would not dare to oppose God's collective will.
Priam was overjoyed when he heard that Achilles promised to return Hector's body to himself, he came here to find Achilles to redeem Hector's body. He never thought of Achilles. Luce would easily agree to his request.
"Honorable Achilles, thank you very much for listening to my prayer and agreeing to redeem Hector's body."
"All the ransom money I brought will be given to you to thank you for your kindness at this moment."
