Chapter 649: A Wise Choice
At the end of the red line marked on Pei Ziyun's map, it is actually the British Isles, which are very far away from Troy, and you have to cross the entire Mediterranean Sea and sail into the Atlantic Ocean to reach it.
Although it is not without any news, the British Isles are actually a wild place at this time, and I did not expect that Prince Paris would choose to rebuild the city-state here.
Everyone looked at the marks on the map, and their hearts sank, from Troy to the British Isles, they had to go through thousands of mountains and rivers, and went through all kinds of tribulations, and it was still unknown whether they could finally get there.
And everyone is not familiar with the British Isles, they only know that it is a very remote island, a place where the kingdom and city-states exile prisoners, and you can imagine how bad the environment is.
"It's a long way away and we don't necessarily get there. Queen Herbert was puzzled.
"It's not too far, the point is, we can go along the coastline without too much danger along the way. Pei Ziyun said.
"But wouldn't this be too far away for the development of our city-state?" asked a young nobleman, who was a survivor of the royal palace, plucked up the courage.
"Guys, you still don't understand?"
"Troy suffered a devastating second blow, because it was too close to Greece, and because it had more potential for development than Greece. ”
"Do you still want to welcome the third destruction?" Pei Ziyun's faint gaze swept over, and as soon as he said this, everyone was silent.
"And you can rest assured that the situation in the British Isles is very suitable for our current development, and it is more conducive to our future development. ”
"Prince Paris, even if this is the case, can you change the place and establish a city-state? "Someone retreated.
"Going to the British Isles is my strategy, I don't force you to go, if you don't think it's suitable, you can stay, I will give him a fortune and leave him safely. ”
"We are too weak to be involved in disputes, and going to the British Isles will help us avoid them. Pei Ziyun pointed to the map and said.
With the map provided by the Phantom Lady, Pei Ziyun was able to point out the way to everyone very concisely and clearly, but some people remained silent, obviously having doubts, but it was not easy to oppose them openly.
Kassandra was a prophet, and she glanced at her brother, then suddenly stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I see, Paris, the location you have guided, we will establish a city-state, and our descendants will escape the wars on the continent again and again, which provides a good opportunity for future generations to revitalize the royal power. ”
Listening to Kassandra's prophecy, Pei Ziyun's eyes flashed and he smiled, Kassandra couldn't have predicted so long, this was just to comfort everyone and support herself.
However, what she said was indeed what would happen later, and Britain had also encountered invasions in history, but basically did not pose a threat, especially the formation of a unified royal state.
"That's fine. Kassandra's prophecy relieved everyone present, and the priestly prophecy was convincing as a representation of the gods to a certain extent.
After all, going to such a distant place made everyone feel uncertain, and Kassandra's words gave them some confidence.
"Well, as long as you work together, this distance is easy to reach, and if you retreat as soon as you set sail, no matter how close you are, you will not be able to reach it. Pei Ziyun said.
"Prince Paris, shall we set off with Aeneas and them?" someone asked.
"No, we're not on the same path as them, we're going to be separated. Pei Ziyun said.
"I believe that with the protection of Prince Paris, we will be able to get there. ”
These people are still full of confidence in Pei Ziyun's strength, after all, he can defeat the Greeks and save his own people from the hands of the Greeks.
Pei Ziyun nodded and said, "We will definitely reach the British Isles smoothly, but before that, I will leave for a while, fate is destined for me to arrive at the Golden Apple Tree in the Holy Garden and obtain the Golden Apple." ”
Although everyone had vaguely heard that Prince Paris had defeated Hephaestus, most of them had not seen it with their own eyes, but had only heard some rumors.
At this moment, when I heard that Pei Ziyun was going to accomplish the same work as Hephaestus, I was shocked.
Queen Herbert had heard Athena's oracle and knew that everything Pei Ziyun said was true, and said: "Go ahead, when you officially join the ranks of immortals and climb Mount Olympus, our family will be stable and will be able to pass on forever." ”
Pei Ziyun listened to the queen's words, nodded, and said, "Mother, you just keep following the route on the map, and I will be able to rush back soon." ”
"Prince Paris, will you be in danger of going? Do you want us to send someone to follow?"
"No need, there are too few people now, and you need it even more. Pei Ziyun said.
At dawn, all the sailors of Pei Ziyun's fleet arrived at their respective posts, everything was ready, and the order to "set sail" was given, and the fleet slowly sailed away from the island and separated from Aeneas's fleet.
The men of Aeneas's fleet were still asleep, and their journey was relatively close, so they did not need to set off in a hurry, and could have waited until dawn before setting sail.
"Prince Paris, God will surely bless you and hope that you will return in triumph. On the deck, everyone said words of blessing, Pei Ziyun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely succeed this time, you set off to the British Isles first, and I will catch up soon." ”
Then on the fleet warship, a small boat was put down, Pei Ziyun jumped, and his body landed lightly on the small boat, the small boat stopped steadily on the water, and kept shaking from side to side with the lapping of the waves.
Pei Ziyun stood on the boat, looking at the warship, seeing that he was nervous, knowing that they were worried about him, he couldn't help but smile and said loudly: "There is no problem with this bit of wind and waves for me. ”
The boat and the fleet separated, while Pei Ziyun quietly watched his fleet go away.
When the entire fleet disappeared on the distant horizon, Pei Ziyun paused, only to hear a "whoosh", the wind immediately blew, and a sail on the small boat, under the wind, sailed quickly into the distance, and left this sea area after a while.
"I feel like the ideal speed is 12 knots. Pei Ziyun thought secretly: "With divine power to control the wind speed, it is indeed very fast. ”
The speed of the boat is like an arrow off the string, shooting forward at a high speed, riding the wind and waves, and almost walking close to the sea, which shows that Pei Ziyun's light spirit of the wind has been mastered very skillfully.
At that moment, on the narrow deck, the Phantom Lady appeared, also without warning.
She stood quietly, but if you looked closely, there was still a gap between her feet and the deck of the boat, that is, her feet did not touch the deck, but floated on it.
She smiled at Pei Ziyun: "Paris, you made a wise choice. ”
Her eyes were full of appreciation, and she said, "I have always been worried that you would choose an inappropriate place to build a city-state, but now it seems that there is no need to worry about that. ”
Pei Ziyun smiled and said, "Dear lady, you should know that Asia Minor cannot be inhabited, and Greece cannot be inhabited, so there are not many suitable places left. ”
"That other location looks more suitable than the one you chose. ”
"Ma'am, that's just a superficial fit, in fact, the continent has been fighting for many years, and all city-states and kingdoms will be involved in the war, and this Trojan War is a typical example. ”
"Troy was destroyed in the war this time, and the population is not one in ten, if I let everyone continue to develop on the mainland, I estimate that in a few years, the Trojans will become history. ”
"And this time I chose the address of the city-state in the British Isles, so that we can effectively avoid war on the mainland, and we can accumulate strength, and I believe that in many years, I can regain my former strength, and even surpass it is not impossible. ”
When the Phantom Lady heard Pei Ziyun's analysis, her jaw was in agreement, and she said, "But you can also choose to walk with Aeneas, in this way, it will be easier to take care of each other." ”
"That will only be digested by Aeneas or his descendants, won't it?" Pei Ziyun said.
"Even if I directly annex Aeneas's fleet now, unless I kill Aeneas and his son immediately, in a few years, it will be the descendants of Aeneas who will have the last laugh. ”
"And it was obviously impossible to kill Aeneas and his son. ”
"None of this is in my interest, and my alliance with him will make it better for the Trojans to survive. Pei Ziyun clearly knows that after the second destruction of Troy, it is impossible to become a world hegemon, and even if he becomes a god, he is not a descendant of Mount Olympus, let alone a god supported by the overlord country, at least in the last few hundred years, or even a thousand years.
In this way, they chose to develop in remote places, and when the time is ripe, they can re-enter the stage and continue to compose brilliance.
The Phantom Lady didn't say much, and bowed her head again: "That's why I said you made a wise choice." Any place you choose on the mainland is not as good as the address you choose at the moment. ”
"Now, I'll tell you the good news, Typhon is in place. ”
"Very well, then I'm going to play too. Pei Ziyun said with a smile.
"Now you go to find Typhon, but although Typhon's strength has been severely weakened, it is still very strong, and with your current strength, you may not be able to win. ”
"Ma'am, how powerful is Typhon, and what method should I use to kill it?" Pei Ziyun thought for a moment and asked.
"With your strength, I don't know how to kill Typhon, it's up to you to figure it out for yourself, and I want to emphasize that I won't help you kill Typhon, even if it's a plan. ”
"Ma'am, I see. After a long time, Pei Ziyun nodded solemnly: "What else do you have to remind me?
"If you lose this battle, don't mention anything. The Phantom Lady looked at the person in front of her and said, "But if you succeed, there will be a test, or a choice." ”
"Oh, what's the choice?" Pei Ziyun asked.
"Even if you get the golden apple and become a god according to your fate, becoming a god is not exactly the same thing as climbing Mount Olympia. ”
Pei Ziyun listened, thought about it, frowned, and wandered a few steps on the deck.
Looking at Pei Ziyun's expression, the Phantom Lady deepened her smile: "There are actually many gods, but now the mainstream is Mount Olympia. ”
"To be a god is to join the Immortals, but in order to climb Mount Olympia, there must be a test, or a choice. ”
"You say you're standing in line?" Pei Ziyun asked rhetorically.
"Take sides? You kind of mean that, that's pretty much it. ”
"It's not what I expected, but it's understandable. Pei Ziyun glanced at the phantom lady: "Then what is the specific possible test?"
