Chapter 531: Corpse
Troy Coast - Leesburg Island
The island is not large, but it is lush with vegetation and trees, with a few recesses for boats and a cliff on the back of the cliff for shelter from the wind and rain.
Pei Ziyun's fleet is temporarily stopping here at the moment, the storm is coming, and he can't go back to Troy for the time being, he can only avoid the upcoming storm in front of him.
The clouds in the sky rolled, the wind roared, swept the black sea, and the sea water was swept up by the powerful wind, turning up monstrous waves, layer upon layer, like the destruction of the world.
"Boom" A huge wave rolled up and hit the island hard, and the soldiers and slaves on the battleship all hid in the cabin and curled up in a ball in the face of this irresistible power of heaven and earth, as if this could make them feel safe.
Throughout the night, the wind howled, roared, and the rain poured down, and the whole of Leesburg Island continued to be ravaged by a storm of rare magnitude.
It wasn't until early in the morning that the storm subsided, the clouds cleared, and a brilliant rainbow hung in the distance, which was attached to the sea, like an arched bridge across the sea.
In the battleship room, Pei Ziyun gently withdrew his hand, broke free from the arms of the sleeping Helen, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, this woman is really amorous, no wonder so many people like her, and do many irrational things for her, far away Theseus, near Paris, and he is one of them.
Not only was the storm raging last night, but Helen and I had a crazy night, only falling asleep at dawn.
Pei Ziyun carefully covered Helen's body, looked at the delicate face, and couldn't help but have a thought: "This woman is mine, and no one can take him away." ”
Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty pass, and they can't imagine that they are not heroes, and they are not exempt from vulgarity in the face of this beauty, Pei Ziyun laughed self-deprecatingly.
At this moment, I looked at it carefully, and I was a little stunned.
"This charm aura, even if you know, it is difficult to completely counteract it. But now is not the time to watch, Pei Ziyun came to his senses, got up and dressed, and walked out of the room.
At this moment, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the sky can still see a dim rainbow that is about to disappear, and the soldiers are all full of smiles, and they are about to return to their hometowns after the rain, and they are happy.
Walking around outside, his eyes froze.
There was a lady in the cabin, this lady was wearing a black robe, her face was covered with a black scarf, her face could not be seen clearly, she should have been very conspicuous, but she was like a phantom, and the soldiers around her turned a blind eye to her, even if they walked past the place where she stood, they also passed through the phantom, and there was no effect at all, and no one saw her at all.
She just stood there silently, not knowing how long it had been.
Although Pei Ziyun was not sure of her identity, it was very similar to the mysterious lady she met last time, but it was a little different, in short, this kind of appearance was not a mortal, so she immediately walked over quickly, bowed, and said, "Respected lady, what are your orders when you come here?"
The mysterious veiled lady was very satisfied with Pei Ziyun's attitude, and said, "Paris, you have heard the prophecy? You have robbed Helen, and your city is about to be destroyed. ”
The lady's tone was flat, she walked to the deck, the breeze blew on her, her long hair was gently blown by the wind, floating in the air, Pei Ziyun even smelled the aroma, but the sailors around still didn't see her.
"Dear Madam, the great god of the sea, Nereus, told me that there is a hero who can stop the destruction of a city, and I want to be this hero. Pei Ziyun said.
"Your idea is very good, but how do you know that this hero is you? And this hero is not something you can do if you want to be, you must have certain ability, and most importantly, fate will not choose him. ”
The mysterious lady said, waving her hand again, stopping her from speaking, and continued: "In Greece, Menelaus has cried to Agamemnon, and Agamemnon has sent messengers to contact the princes and heroes of all Greece, ready to crusade against you and Troy. ”
She paused, stared at Pei Ziyun's eyes, and said seriously: "Even so, do you want to resist? Do you still think you have the power to resist?"
"Of course, I will fight hard until the end of my destiny. Even if fate does not choose me in the end, I will not regret it until death, I would rather fight and die than live cowardly. ”
The mysterious lady's pupils shrank, showing that she did not expect Paris's determination, she could feel that what Paris said was not false, and that he would choose to do so in the face of fate.
"But you may not be able to return to Troy, for Helen's brothers Kastor and Polydius have already caught up. "The mysterious lady seems to be trying to intimidate.
Pei Ziyun was startled when he heard this, his face changed, but he came back to his senses in a blink of an eye.
"On the shores of Troy, on the island of Leesburg, I seem to remember something. ”
"No wonder there was such a huge storm last night, obviously Poseidon made a move, and yesterday the storm was Poseidon killing the sons of Zeus - Castor and Polydius?"
"How strong are these two heroes?"
"If my guess is correct, then Helen's brothers, Castor and Polydius, are dead at this moment?"
"She was only a dozen nautical miles away and sank into the sea. ”
Thinking about it, Pei Ziyun said slowly: "Dear lady, I believe that Helen's elder brother Kastor and Polydius, two great legendary heroes, must have a benevolent character, they will definitely give me a chance to explain, if they still refuse to forgive me, even in the face of them, I will never retreat." ”
"Really, Paris, I'm looking forward to your performance!" the mysterious lady smiled, like a shadow in the water, and slowly disappeared in front of Pei Ziyun's eyes, as if she had never appeared.
"Who could this mysterious lady be?Gaia?or a more mysterious goddess?" Pei Ziyun shook his head slightly, putting these thoughts behind him and leaving it alone for the time being.
At this moment, someone pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted, "Prince Paris, there are corpses on the sea." ”
At this time, the visibility on the sea was very high, and Pei Ziyun looked out from a distance and saw several floating corpses appearing on the sea in the distance.
Along with the floating corpses, sampans floated on the surface of the sea, and the discerning person knew at a glance that the boat of these people had been swallowed by the storm of the previous night.
Pei Ziyun realized something and ordered: "Hurry up to the sea and salvage the body." ”
The sailors and slaves were ordered to row a few small boats to salvage the corpses in the distance, and Pei Ziyun also let the battleship set sail and followed him, he wanted to take a closer look to confirm whether there were Helen's brother Kastor and Polydius among the corpses.
Helen didn't know how to wake up, she came out of the room, her face was pale, and said, "Paris, I'm flustered, I just had a nightmare. ”
Pei Ziyun's heart sank, and he comforted and said: "My dear, it may be that you didn't sleep well last night, and you were too tired last night, go back and have a good rest." ”
Helen shook her head, and suddenly saw that the battleship had set sail, and the ship was still salvaging in the distance, and asked, "What is this doing?"
Pei Ziyun said: "Honey, go back to your room, I just saw the ship that sank in last night's storm, and the crew, are preparing to be salvaged and buried." ”
Helen listened to Pei Ziyun's suggestion and was about to go back to the room, but after walking a few steps, she didn't know why, she suddenly stopped, her face pale, and watched the sailors and slaves salvage the corpses on the sea to the deck one by one.
These corpses had not been floating on the surface of the sea for a long time, all of them were just pale and swollen, and because of the storm, their corpses were not swallowed by the sea fish, so they looked clear and indisputable.
"Ahh Suddenly, there was a scream from Helen, she fainted, Pei Ziyun quickly hugged Helen, and turned his head to look at the two bodies that had just been recovered.
The two corpses were soaked in seawater overnight and were still lifelike, not as white and swollen as other corpses, Pei Ziyun hugged Helen who had fainted, looked at the corpses of the two legendary heroes, and felt it carefully.
"This is the corpse of Castor and Polydius? Indeed, the difference between a mighty hero and an ordinary mortal is evident at a glance. ”
"Even if I'm dead, I can still feel that there is twice as much strength on the corpse as mine!"
Pei Ziyun was finally able to feel the power of the legendary hero up close, which gave him another intuitive experience of the power level of the Greek world.
"Even if you die, you can feel the powerful bloodline in your body, and I can only harvest souls now - I feel that this limit is very large, and the Greek world, the body and blood, are the root of power. ”
"And harvesting souls will cause great hidden dangers, the gods attach great importance to souls, and if you continue to harvest in this way, you will be discovered sooner or later. ”
"If only I could harvest blood, the hidden power in it is not bad. ”
"I could feel that the power on the corpse was rapidly evaporating, and that the corpse would be cremated or decomposed, which was a waste. ”
Just thinking about it, as soon as the system moved, a plum quickly appeared in front of him, which quickly enlarged and turned into a data frame with a faint sense of light.
"The gods attach great importance to the souls of heroes, their eyes are everywhere, in the face of these gazes, you will be helpless, spend 5 fate points, you will change the way of harvesting, only harvest the blood of heroes, not souls, yes/no!"
Pei Ziyun was stunned: "It's okay not to harvest the soul and harvest the blood?" This has relieved my worries, if I still harvest the soul in front of the gods like last time, if I harvest the soul in front of the gods as I did last time, I will definitely be found out if there are too many times." ”
Pei Ziyun thought about it, and looked at the fate points he had at this time, and there were only seven points, but he didn't hesitate and clicked heavily.
There was no intuitive change at the moment, and he shouted at the corpse: "Harvest!"
Not the slightest change.
Pei Ziyun frowned, and realized the information: "In the Greek world, it's not me or I send someone to kill, it can't be harvested, and the killing factor must exceed 50% to harvest? Is this a restriction given to me by the system? Or does the system have to obey some kind of law?"
"It's a pity that the bloodline in front of me, maybe only the next time you hunt heroes, you can see the difference. ”
The heroes of this world more or less contain a trace of the blood of the gods, including Paris itself contains the blood of Zeus, and he only needs to harvest the heroes to accumulate a certain number, which may not usher in an earth-shaking qualitative change.
