Chapter 580: Smooth Sailing
Calypso invited Pei Ziyun to her palace, but Pei Ziyun hesitated and didn't take a step forward, after all, he had quite scruples about this goddess.
Although the mysterious lady said that she would entertain her, he was afraid that like Odysseus, she would be forced to stay here by some unknown means, and he could not afford to wait.
Seeing Pei Ziyun standing in place hesitating, Calypso shook her head and smiled: "Prince Paris, don't be afraid! The sky, the earth, and the underworld can all testify for me, and I will definitely not harm you." β
Pei Ziyun heard her say this, and knew that he might have thought too much, but being careful was not a big mistake, it was his usual practice.
Calypso turned around and left, Pei Ziyun thought about it, and now he is in exile on Ochigia Island, which is originally Calypso's territory, and if he wants to leave, he must have her help.
And if she didn't have her permission, it would be difficult for the damaged ship to be repaired completely, thinking of this, Pei Ziyun followed behind, and slowly walked towards the palace together.
Calypso's palace was not far away, and Pei Ziyun followed it for about ten minutes before he saw a forest, which was very beautiful, full of poplars and pine trees.
The palace is in the shade of aspen and cypress, and many birds perch on these aspen and cypress trees.
Their voices are crisp and their singing voices are tactful, so that people do not feel bored at all, but have a sense of relaxation and joy.
In addition to birds with beautiful feathers, there are crows in the trees, and of course eagles hovering in the higher trees.
Pei Ziyun stepped into the woods, approached the palace, and found that in front of the palace was a vast meadow, the grass was overgrown with violets, parsley, and poisonous weeds, and several mountain streams flowed down the mountain in zigzags, flowing through this meadow, towards the sea.
Grapevines are planted at the doorway, and the vines cling to the rocky rocks, and clusters of sparkling grapes hang under the verdant foliage.
Pei Ziyun stepped on the three steps, stepped into the arched gate, and entered the palace.
Walking into the small hall, Pei Ziyun found that Calypso had prepared a banquet, with barbecue and wine on the table, and Calypso sat down as guests, and before Calypso raised his glass, Pei Ziyun raised his glass first and said, "Beautiful Goddess Calypso, thank you very much for your warm hospitality." β
"I have come to the island of Ochigia after a storm and a sea monster caused the ship to leak, and I would like your permission to cut down trees on the island in order to repair the broken ship. β
After Pei Ziyun finished speaking, he drank all the wine in his hand, put his right hand on his left chest, bent down slightly, and bowed to show respect.
"O Prince, you have come to my island, it is the arrangement of fate, I promise you that you will cut down trees on my island. β
"Respectable and beautiful Calypso, thank you very much for your generosity. β
"Prince, but I have something I want to ask you, I wonder if you can promise me?" Calypso sipped a glass of wine.
"It's coming. Pei Ziyun knew that there was nothing good, and put down the wine glass: "Respectable and beautiful Calypso, what you say, as long as I can, I will help you." β
Calypso smiled and said, "Prince, I was imprisoned by my father and cannot leave this island, can you help me break this captivity?"
When Pei Ziyun heard Calypso's request, he instinctively wanted to say that this request was not something that his current ability could solve.
But at this moment, the system shook, and I saw a plum appear in front of me, which quickly enlarged and turned into a translucent data frame with a faint sense of light, and the task was displayed on the data item.
"Captivity in Calypso, 0/3. β
Pei Ziyun is a little strange, this time the system mission prompt does not seem to require that Calypso's captivity must be broken.
He felt that there were at least three situations in the face of this mission, which meant that he had a lot of choices, and he would not be like before, he would have to complete a specific task, and there was not much room for choice.
Pei Ziyun shook his head and changed his mind a little, originally he planned to refuse directly, but since the system gave a hint, he felt that something should be done.
This doesn't change his original intention of not helping Calypso break out of captivity in the first place, because he doesn't have this ability at all, but there are system quest hints that can be fine-tuned.
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun nodded and smiled: "Venerable Calypso, the king of the gods has gained the right to rule the world, and will naturally reduce and control the old god clan. β
"But this is not a generalization, even the king of the gods is actually a descendant of the Titans. β
"If nothing else, you should know that there is a person who is in a similar situation to you, I just met her on the island, and she is further away than you?"
"Is it Thetis?" said Calypso, muttering for a moment.
"That's right, it's her, Thetis, daughter of Nereus, the goddess of the sea, and Doris, the goddess of the sea. β
"Her family background is actually similar to yours, and the reason why she can move freely is only because of her meritorious service, she gathered the hundred-armed giants and joined the camp of the king of the gods. β
If fate hadn't made her a hotbed this time, she would have gained even greater trust. β
Calypso listened thoughtfully: "What you said is that many of the old gods who stood in the camp of the king of the gods have been recognized. β
"But I'm too lateβanything else?"
"And, more crucially, she's not as strong as you. β
"You know, being powerful and uncontrollable makes people fearful, and if you are so powerful and have not contributed to Mount Olympus, you are naturally limited. β
"I don't know if your father had other intentions when he imprisoned you in the first place, but part of his intention was to protect you. Pei Ziyun said.
After listening to Pei Ziyun's words, Calypso showed a slight groan, and said: "Prince Paris, you are right, if my father had not imprisoned me on this island over the years, maybe I would have been suppressed by the gods of Mount Olympus long ago. β
"Yes, Goddess, your existence is an uncertain factor, and you have not proven your worth to Mount Olympus, so Thetis can be freed and you have to be imprisoned here. β
Calypso heard Pei Ziyun say this, and replied, "Prince, what you said is good, but what should I do now?"
Pei Ziyun thought for a while: "Beautiful goddess, you should move closer to Mount Olympus, as long as you can show your kindness, with your strength and goddess identity, you should be able to get freedom, at least partial freedom." β
"How can I make the gods of Olympus think I'm drawing closer to them?" asked Calypso.
"Goddess, this requires your wisdom, and to do everything that is in line with the will of the gods is to get the most close to them, not to oppose them behind their backs. β
Calypso thought about it for so many years, and he had really done things that had contradicted the gods for many years, so he naturally had a plan in his heart.
After Pei Ziyun finished speaking, he stopped talking and quietly waited for Calypso's answer.
"O Prince, I understand what you have said, thank you very much for showing me what I should do, so that I will not be confused, and you will reap my friendship. β
Pei Ziyun listened and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to be careless.
Among the Pirates of the Caribbean, David Jones fell in love with Calypso and voluntarily agreed to be the captain of the Flying Dutchman, extraditing the dead to Hades at sea for Lypso, at the cost of only landing once every ten years, and Calypso would meet him as compensation.
Ten years later, David Jones went to the appointment as scheduled, but found that Calypso did not show up, felt that the goddess had betrayed, and in desperation, David Jones dug out his heart, and retaliated by telling the nine pirate kings about the method of sealing Calypso, and a series of stories were born.
As for why the goddess did not go to the appointment, in fact, the answer was given, David Jones questioned Calypso why he did not go to the appointment, Calypso said: "It's my nature"
And said, "If I wasn't who I was, would you still love me?"
What she meant was that the goddess of the sea was unpredictable, and even she couldn't control her fickleness, so Odysseus, who was protected by Athena in history, was warned by Hermes many times - you can only trust her if you make her swear!
Because God swore that if he did not carry it out, he would be swallowed by the tenth tributary of the River Styx, and he would lie without breath for a whole year, without saying a word.
After a long year of illness, there were nine full years left to cut off contact with the living gods, not attending meetings or feasting, and in the tenth year, to rejoin the meetings of the gods.
But Odysseus can only achieve it with the protection of Athena, and he doesn't have the strength to force her to swear that he has to rush back to Troy as soon as possible, and he can't delay here, so as not to have many dreams at night, and then Pei Ziyun said bluntly: "Respected goddess, I raise a glass of wine to you, I hope you can let me go." β
Calypso nodded, smiled, and said, "Prince, you are right, I will not stop you from leaving, but I have no sailors or ships, so I can only give you a smooth journey." β
Pei Ziyun didn't react to what she said, thinking it was just a polite etiquette word, but Calypso's next move made him slightly surprised.
I saw Calypso slowly get up from his seat and walk towards Pei Ziyun, and when he walked in front of Pei Ziyun, Calypso looked at Pei Ziyun and was about to kiss Pei Ziyun on the cheek.
This move was completely beyond Pei Ziyun's expectations, he didn't expect that Calypso would come and kiss him when he said that it would be smooth sailing for him.
Then Pei Ziyun reacted: "Maybe this kiss is a blessing, which can make me indeed smooth sailing at sea, after all, she is a goddess of the sea." β
It was only immediately that Odysseus had a relationship with Calypso here, and that he had stayed here for seven years, which was an intolerable thing for him.
"After kissing, will she change her mind immediately?" Pei Ziyun glanced at the system, saw that there was no response, and knew that this would not involve a task.
So he quickly got up and avoided it, and said: "Respected goddess, your situation is very difficult, so don't use your kindness on me, a good wind is not big, but it may deepen the misunderstanding of Mount Olympus." β
Calypso was slightly stunned, obviously she didn't expect Pei Ziyun to refuse her kindness, and after hearing this, she reacted and thought thoughtfully.
Pei Ziyun dodged Calypso's kiss, didn't wait for Calypso to think about it, and hurriedly said: "Beautiful goddess, thank you for your hospitality, if there is nothing to do, I will leave." β
With that, he bowed to Calypso and turned to leave Calypso's palace.
