Chapter 569: The Witch's Condition
Pei Ziyun sat on a woolen carpet, drank the wine in her glass, and quietly listened to Circe tell the prophecy that Hermes had told her.
"Circe, in general, is not strong and should belong to the Nymphs. ”
"But the Nymph has a wide range of categories, ranging from minor goddesses in Greek mythology to fairies who don't grow old or sick, but die. ”
"If my spiritual sense is not wrong, I do not feel the essence of God, no wonder in history Odysseus could threaten it with a sword. ”
"But I don't want to use force, after all, Odysseus has Athena's strong protection and support, and I don't. ”
After Circe finished speaking, Pei Ziyun slowly spoke: "No, Circe, I am Paris the prince of Troy, not Odysseus in your mouth, I was blown here by a tornado, fate made me arrive at your palace, because of this, I am immune to your potions." ”
After speaking, Pei Ziyun paused slightly and added: "But I hope to get your warm hospitality." ”
"The god told you the secret?"
As soon as Pei Ziyun's words fell, Circe couldn't wait to ask: "But just like this, it's not enough to protect your safety, you are mortal, and I am the daughter of the great sun god Helius (Helius) and the daughter of the sea god Perse." ”
Circe spoke, with a slight contempt in her tone, showing no interest in Pei Ziyun's words, the child of the sun god Helius and the sea god's daughter Perse, the sister of King Aetheus, and the aunt of Medea.
All of this gave her reason to despise the status of Prince Pei Ziyun of Troy, and that she was a great witch herself.
Pei Ziyun heard Circe say and smiled: "Circe, great witch, this is not hospitality. ”
As he spoke, his hand touched the hilt of the sword, and once Circe made a move, he would have to fight her, but in that case, he and Circe would have no room to turn back.
Circe glanced at the sword, noticed the sword, and did not seem to want to tear his face at once, but listened to her: "However, a sea monster has recently appeared on the island of Eehe, and it has attacked many ships coming and going, so that there are many fewer ships on my island now. ”
"I have a lot fewer pets, you are a prince, you are a hero, I want you to go and kill the sea monster so that you can gain my friendship. ”
Circeca is a realist, and since the potion didn't work on Pei Ziyun, he thought of asking Pei Ziyun to work for her to gain her friendship.
"You have a point, Ms. Circe. Pei Ziyun got up and saluted Circe slightly, and said, "Venerable witch, you must have a ship to kill the sea monster, but my ship is broken now, and there is not much fresh water and food left, but the gold and bronze have not been thrown away." ”
"I am willing to offer you these gifts for your hospitality, and at the same time ask your permission for me to cut down trees on your island and repair the ship. ”
The smile on Circe's face was obviously a little more than just now, everyone liked a generous guest like Pei Ziyun, and the things she gave were exactly what she wanted.
I only heard her say: "I can promise you what you say, and you and your friends will be treated peacefully, and when you have completed your mission, I will send you back, and I will also give you suitable charts so that you will not get lost on the sea." ”
"Thank you very much, dear lady. Pei Ziyun said, drank another glass of wine, sighed at the glass, and thought in his heart: "I don't know what happened to the fleet?"
Troy Palace
The news of Pei Ziyun's accident has been sent back to the palace and two mansions.
At this moment, King Priam was listening to the report of the centurion of the fleet, while Onogne and Helen were hurrying from the mansion to the palace, and after entering, King Priam nodded: "My dear daughters, please be seated, the centurion is about to say the news." ”
"Dear King Priam, two ladies, it is my great regret to inform you that Prince Paris's ship was attacked by a tornado, and only one of his ships in the entire fleet was attacked. The centurion said.
"What about the other ships?" asked Priam, with a gloomy face.
"Other ships regrouped after the tornado and sank, but fortunately there were no casualties. ”
"And this tornado appeared strangely, it appeared directly over Prince Paris's ship, and it appeared without warning, so that no one had time to prepare. ”
"So this tornado is aimed at one of Paris's ships?" asked Priam.
"I'm afraid so. The centurion replied.
"Okay, I know everything, you go down first. Priam said, waving.
Onone and Helen, who had just arrived, turned pale, and their hearts sank when they heard that Paris's ship had befallen an accident, as if they were pressing a thousand pounds of boulder.
Seeing their expressions, Priam comforted: "Don't worry, my daughters, I have sent a priest to Apollo to ask for an oracle, and it will tell Paris the whereabouts." ”
"After all, Paris is still very pleased with Apollo, and I am sure that he will return as he was before, full of glory and gold. ”
Honorne nodded and said, "My father, honorable king, I will make sacrifices to the god and ask him to return safely." ”
"As for gold and glory, to be honest, I miss the days in Ida Hill more than ever before, when Paris was still shepherding sheep and the food was simple, but we were happy. ”
Speaking of which, Onone sighed, Helen was not in a good mood, and the atmosphere became awkward, but then, he heard footsteps outside.
At this time, the priest who had gone to the temple of Apollo to offer sacrifices rushed back and said, "King, Prince Paris has not yet met with any misfortune, but it may take a long time to return. ”
"Did Apollo give Paris a whereabout?" asked Priam.
"No, the gods only told Prince Paris that nothing had happened to him, and that it would be a long time before he returned to Troy, and nothing else. ”
Hearing this, Onone and Helen felt a little relieved, as long as people lived, they would come back sooner or later.
Priam continued to comfort them, saying, "Rest assured, Paris will return." ”
"If you have any needs, you can tell the queen or tell me directly. ”
This was what Priam could do, and they all wanted Paris to return as soon as possible.
"Thank you father for your concern. As they spoke, they confirmed Paris's safety, said goodbye to Priam, and got into the car and headed for the mansion.
Paris can shelter Onogne and Helen when he is there, but Paris is not, and they need to learn to be strong and live.
And in the court, Priam watched Onone and Helen fade away, his face was gloomy and dripping water, Paris had an accident, according to the centurion, the tornado was only aimed at him, and it was obvious that the gods had acted.
"Could it be that the gods see Paris as too good and want to expel him?"
"The gods will not favor the great Troy?" thought Priam, when at that moment there was another sound of footsteps, and a servant reported: "King, a fleet has just arrived in port, the fleet of Prince Hertor, and he has returned victorious. ”
The prince had come at once. ”
"Let him come here. With the loss of Paris, Priam relied on Hector more, so when Hector returned to the palace, he saw Priam on the steps to meet him from a distance.
Hector quickly walked over with a happy face and reported: "Father, this time I am fortunate to have rescued the Missiers in time, and have forced the Greeks to retreat. ”
Heltor may have been too happy, or perhaps because he had a rough personality, and did not notice that Priam's expression was wrong.
He asked, "Father, how are Paris and Agneas?"
"Agnes has not returned from rescuing Lynnassus, and Paris has gone missing on his way back from rescuing Coronay. ”
Hector was taken aback, only to realize that Priam's expression was wrong, and asked, "Father, who is this, and who can hurt Paris?"
Hector knew that his younger brother was amazing, everything could be arranged in an orderly manner, and his force was not weak, and it was unbelievable who had the ability to make him disappear.
"When Paris returned, he was hit by a tornado, and the tornado hit Parris alone. Priam said a little blankly.
When Hector heard this, his heart was cold and cold, he was not a fool, and immediately understood the meaning of what Priam said, and there was a sudden silence.
Some things can't be said explicitly, especially when discussing gods or talking about gods, the gods are easy to know, and once they are targeted, the end can be imagined.
Because he claimed that he was more beautiful than a goddess and more talented than a male god, he either died or became an animal.
When Hector heard Priam say this, he could only ask, "Father, do you know the whereabouts of Paris?"
"Just now the priest went to the temple of Apollo to make sacrifices, and Apollo gave the answer that Paris had not yet suffered an accident, but it would be a long time before he could return to Troy. ”
"He's been banished. Hector muttered.
"Yes, banished, Hector, and Troy will depend on you in the future. Priam said with a little interest.
"Don't worry, father, I will defend the peace of Troy to the death. Hector said loudly.
In history, Hector did defend Troy to the death, and until he died, Troy was not captured, but as soon as he died, Troy had no more powerful heroes, and soon fell.
"Father, what are the casualties of Paris's fleet?" Hector asked.
"The condition of Paris's ship is not clear, and when he rushed back to the ship, except for one that sank, there were no casualties, and he brought back all the gifts he had given. Priam said.
"That's good, although Paris is not here for the time being, but in the face of the Greeks, we only need to gather more allies, and we may not be without the strength to fight. ”
"Father, especially my rescue of Missier, strengthened this idea. With that, the two fell silent at the same time.
