Troy Secret Docks

The lookout on the watchtower signaled that a boat had arrived, and a small boat went up to meet it, only to signal safety after a few moments, and they returned together.

"It was Chryses, the priest of the island of Carlysse, who received an invitation from Paris and rushed to Troy. "Hurry up, the boat reports at once.

When Chrysses boarded the docks, Gessne was waiting to arrive.

"Honorable priest Chryses, Prince Paris has been waiting for a long time, please come with me. So saying, he took Chrysses into the chariot.

The chariot drove half a day to the city of Troy, and under the guidance of Gesne, Chrysses soon arrived at the palace of Prince Paris.

"Tuk-tuk" Gesne knocked on the door twice, received a reply from inside, and led Chrysses into the small hall.

"Prince, Chryses the priest has arrived. Gesne said.

"Well, you go down. Pei Ziyun waved away Gesnie.

"Dear Prince Paris, thank you very much for your grand invitation. Chrysis put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly.

"Honorable Priest Chryses, you have worked hard all the way. Pei Ziyun looked at Chrysses: "Please drink a glass of honey bar, it is made of real honey." ”

"Thank you, Prince Paris. Chrysses looked well dressed, but he could not hide the sadness on his face, knowing that he had become like this because of the robbery of his daughter, Chryseius.

"I heard that your daughter Chryseiis was captured by Achilles in Myssière?" Pei Ziyun asked directly when he saw Chryses having a drink.

"Alas, Prince Paris, I am grieving over this. Chrysses shook her head and sighed, "What a lovely girl Chryseius is, unfortunately she was captured by Achilles, and I can't imagine her hard life among the enemy." ”

"If I had taken her to my side, such a sad thing would not have happened. ”

Pei Ziyun looked at Chrysses, who was in self-pity in front of him, and knew that the heat was almost over, so with a wave of his hand, two servants came up with plates.

One was gold, a gold bar shining with a golden light, and the other was a thick copper cake.

"O honorable priest, you need not be so sad and despairing, Apollo is watching over us, I cannot tolerate this blasphemous. ”

"A year ago, I was laden with gold and bronze, which I had gained by killing Perryface, but unfortunately I lost most of my gold and bronze through the storm, and that's all. ”

"I give them all to you now, and may these gold and bronze redeem your daughter. ”

Chrysses looked at Paris with great gratitude, and was in need of a sum of money to redeem his daughter, when he raised his hands and said, "O my god Apollo, do you hear that you have a reason to protect the princes of Troy and Paris, and how merciful and generous he is?" ”

Pei Ziyun smiled and said, "Priest Chryses, I have prepared a delicious feast for you. ”

Chrysses was touched by how generous and understanding Prince Paris was: "Dear Prince Paris, thank you very much for your generous hospitality. ”

Pei Ziyun got up and walked to the banquet hall with Chrysses' hand.

Camp of the Greeks

The camp was lined with stone barracks, where princes and heroes lived, and were more resistant to the cold in winter.

Because they were surrounded by ordinary soldiers, Agamemnon didn't put so much effort into building stone buildings for them, and it was still an ordinary camp, but it had more functions than when he first arrived.

At this time, there was a wind spreading in the camp, which was the words of the prophet Karcas.

"The city of Troy could not have been conquered without Achilles, the son of Peleus. ”

This kind of discourse is most likely to be recognized by the ordinary soldiers below, because they have few channels to obtain information, and the battle of Troy has been fought for so long, and there has been no substantial progress, and it just so happened that Achilles came, and there was a new breakthrough.

Moreover, the Achilles force is obvious to everyone, and it is really invulnerable, which reminds many soldiers of Kuknos, who gave them nightmares in the first place.

It was because of his invulnerable physique that Kukonos was invincible and unstoppable in the camp, which became the permanent memory of ordinary soldiers.

At this time, Achilles' might was not inferior to that of Kuknos, and there were people under the camp who added fuel and vinegar: "There has been no progress in the war for so long, and Achilles has made a new breakthrough as soon as he comes, which shows that Achilles' role is even higher than Agamemnon." ”

This is completely a heart-wrenching statement, and ordinary soldiers would not say such a rebellious word.

And for this kind of divisive discourse to spread in the camp, the people who were arranged by Gesner were indispensable.

And as soon as Achilles came, he defeated Misière, and killed the queen of the Amazons, Penthesile, the daughter of Ares, the god of war. ”

"The greatness of Achilles is completely above Agamemnon, and only he can lead us to the final victory of the war. ”

"Damn, abominable Achilles. "It was almost dusk, and the maid carried a wooden pole and lit a lamp, which illuminated the decoration, a marble sculpture, and a silver candlestick, which was the spoils of war.

If it had been before, Agamemnon would have taken a moment to admire, but at this time, he had no thought at all, wandering around the hall, roaring.

Eventually, these rumors reached Agamemnon's ears, and he was furious when he heard them.

Originally, he was a person with a very strong desire for power, and he could even sacrifice his own daughter to the gods for power.

The arrival of Achilles, and his rapidly growing prestige, would undoubtedly challenge authority and thus affect his position in the Greek coalition, which could not be tolerated.

Agamemnon was furious, and it was not until he saw Chryseis, whom Achilles had given him, that the anger in his heart gradually calmed down.

Chryseis was supple and beautiful, but there were so many maidens that Agamemnon didn't value her beauty too much, but thought, "Even if you are the son of Thetis, even if you defeat the Mysiës and kill the queen of the Amazons, Pentesilea, you still have to obediently hand over 1/3 of your wealth to me under my authority." ”

"And to hand over the supple and beautiful Chryseis, how lovely her body is, especially when she trembles. ”

Thinking of this, Agamemnon's mood calmed down, although Achilles was powerful, he still had to surrender to himself, and the loot he had to give himself a part according to the rules.

The rule of the Greek coalition was that the hero went out to fight, and the loot he searched for must be handed over to 1/3 of the coalition commander, some of which was used to maintain normal war attrition, and most of it went into Agamemnon's personal pocket.

"But it must also be suppressed appropriately, otherwise my position will be seriously challenged. Agamemnon thought with a calm face.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and a man reported: "Commander of Agamemnon, Chryses, priest of the island of Carlysse, has come to redeem his daughter Chryseis, with gold and bronze." ”

Chryseius, who was busy in the hall, had his eyes lit up, and Agamemnon couldn't help frowning slightly, glanced at her, and said, "I'll take a look." ”

So saying, he went out with the soldiers.

At this time, at the gate of the camp of the Greeks, the priest of Apollo, Chryses, walked slowly into the camp, holding a golden staff of peace, on which was wrapped an olive branch offered to Apollo, and brought a large ransom.

His arrival caused a commotion in the camp of the Greeks, and the soldiers on the watchtower watched him come with peace and did not shoot with their bows and arrows at the first time.

The soldiers of the camp did not hinder him, but let him into the camp, and the prince came out of the tent and gathered around the gate of the camp to watch Chrysses move.

Everyone talked about Chryses' visit to the Greek camp to redeem his daughter.

"Do you see, I heard that this is a priest, whose daughter was captured by Achilles, and this time with a ransom to ransom his daughter. ”

"Will the Commander agree to this?" I remember Chryses giving to the Commander. ”

"The ransom he brought was so much, if it were me, I wouldn't have refused. ”

Chryses held the golden scepter of peace on his chest, looked at the more and more people around him, and knew that the people were almost gathered, so he said his identity and intention.

"Sons of Atreus and Argoth, princes and heroes, let the gods of heaven bless you, grant your wishes, and return safely to your homeland. If you are willing to accept the ransom I have brought and return my daughter, I will bless you sincerely. ”

"For Apollo's sake, give me back my daughter Chryseius, who was Chryseis, the priest of Apollo.

The surrounding princes and soldiers applauded Chryses' speech in acceptance.

"Hear me? He was a priest of Apollo, and we should give him back his daughter, or we would offend the gods. ”

"He brought so much ransom and was sincere, and we should fulfill it. ”

"Did you just hear that? He will pray and bless us, and a priest's prayer is good and harmless to us. ”

Agamemnon was upset when he saw the actions of the soldiers and the prince.

In fact, purely on Chryseis's lovely body, Agamemnon was not reluctant, but Chryseis was given to him by Achilles, and in his mind, this was a sign of Achilles' submission.

He could not accept Chryseius' redemption of Chryseius, as this would undermine his authority.

The more powerful Achilles became, the more he wanted to keep Chryseis.

Therefore, Agamemnon stood up and said angrily: "Old thing, you are not allowed to appear near my camp, your daughter is now my slave and will be my slave in the future." ”

"I'm going to take her back to Argos, and live in my palace, and let her weave for me all day! Go away! Don't make me angry, and go home!"

The more Agamemnon spoke, the more angry he became, as if Chrysses had redeemed Chryseis, who had been given to him by Achilles, and it seemed that if he lost her, he would lose his rule over Achilles, so the last sentence was already filled with a terrifying murderous aura.
