Chapter 576: The Man Who Will Die

"No, you're coming too fast, I just didn't appease them. The voice of Circe came from inside the palace, and then a group of fairies came out of the palace.

Circe tenderly veined: "Prince Paris, you will face a terrible fate when you return to Troy, if you stay here, you may be able to live in peace." ”

Pei Ziyun knew that what Circe said was the truth, and if it was the original Paris and returned to Troy, he would undoubtedly face the verdict of fate soon.

But he is different, he came to this world, he came for the purpose, the golden apple has not been obtained, the plum blossom task has not been completed, how can he dodge?

You can only rise to the challenge and increase your strength as soon as possible to face the impending fate.

"No, Circe, thank you for your kindness, but I decided to go back to Troy, which is my home, and if there is a terrible fate to go back, then I will have to face it all the more. ”

"Prince Paris, if you are so resolute, I will not stop you. Saying that, Circe regretfully handed the chart to Pei Ziyun.

After Pei Ziyun took the chart, he confirmed it before he smiled: "Circe, you helped me, and you won't regret it." ”

Mount Olympus

The gods sat around the clouds, and through it, they saw Prince Paris returning to Troy on a sea ship.

This was beyond the expectations of the gods, who had planned to send Prince Paris for a long time, and then let Paris return to Troy towards the end of the Trojan War.

But at this moment, Paris had only been away for a month, and he successfully found the chart and embarked on the road to turn Troy.

"Do you need to stop Paris from going back to Troy?" asked Athena to Hera.

Hera intended to block Paris's return, but Zeus had a plan, saying, "Not need, but Achilles can be transferred, and now it's almost time for him to play." ”

Now two years have passed since the Battle of Troy, which coincides with the outbreak of the Battle of Troy in history, and at this time, Achilles has just been able to enter the war.

At this moment, the picture of the clouds and mist turns into a scene of the Amazon.

"Behold, the Queen of the Amazons is also coming to Troy. Hera said, looking at the scene in the clouds.

At this time, the kingdom of Amazons, Queen Penthesilea, was preparing to participate in the war corresponding supplies, and the gods could foresee that Queen Penthesilea of the Amazon was coming to Troy.

"Is it to continue to do things to Amazon. Athena asked, the gods had made a plan to attack the Amazons and force Queen Penthesirea to participate in the Battle of Troy.

Historically, Penthesilea was hunted by the three goddesses of fate after accidentally killing her sister while hunting under the interference of the gods, and in order to atone for her sins, she had to participate in the Battle of Troy, and finally died on the battlefield of Troy.

Hera glanced at Artemis and Ares in the distance, and said, "Originally, Penthesilea's death of her sister prompted her to go to the Trojan battlefield, but now that she has come automatically, we don't have to continue to do anything to her, and we have to consider the mood of Artemis and Ares." ”

Athena nodded slightly, in agreement.

These are all subtle changes caused by Pei Ziyun's change of the "script", which looks very natural, and even the gods of Mount Olympus are not suspicious, so they can only correct it.

Camp of the Greeks

These people have been camping here for a few years now, which means that they have been away from their homes for a few years.

The camp started out relatively simply, but gradually became more and more functional, and now it is a town, and the big tent in the center of the camp has long been made of stone, which was mined from the surrounding stone mountains, and the people around Troy are still used.

Around the central tent, some of the great heroic princes' tents, some of them were made of stone, some of them were made of wood, and only the barracks of ordinary soldiers were tents, but they were also more complete than at the beginning.

At this moment, in a room, the Greek prophet Karcas woke up from his dream and sighed.

"Master, are you thirsty? I brought mead. When the servant saw this, he raised the candle so that more light could illuminate the room, and brought out a silver flask.

"Give me a drink!" Karcas's heart was beating fast, and he did not refuse to be courteous, and a god had just appeared in a dream and told him and Odysseus that he and Odysseus were going to welcome Achilles to Troy.

"That's how hard a prophet is. With a dry sip of wine, Calcas got up from his bed and dressed, and quickly went to Odysseus' tent.

In the candle fire, Odysseus was writing letters all night, and when he saw Carcas coming in from outside, his face couldn't help but change slightly, but he hid it well, and his face returned to a smile.

"Odysseus, the gods have another errand for us, and we must go and ask Achilles, for whatever reason, we must bring him. "When Calcas came in, he didn't say hello to Odysseus and went straight to the point.

"I see, it's just that Achilles' mother, Thetis, is not an ordinary goddess, will she stop our mission?" Odysseus's face sank, and he said scruples, because he is a person favored by God, he knows many secrets, and he still knows more about the status and power of Achilles' mother.

Thetis is the daughter of Nereus, the god of the sea, and Doris, the goddess of the sea, this identity is not enough, the key is that during the battle of the Titans, she summoned a hundred-armed giant to help Zeus rebel against the Titan God, and made a great contribution to Zeus.

This situation directly illustrates her status.

Karcas's face was also a little gloomy, but he said, "It's a matter of God, we just have to do what we can." ”

There is no saying that since the gods have arranged to do this, they will definitely take into account the influence of Thetis, and I believe that the gods have already gone at this time.

And he also believed that Odysseus could understand the relationship, and in order not to offend a god directly, he did not make it clear.

When Odysseus heard Calcas's words, he thought about it for a moment and said, "Yes, I will talk to Commander Agamemnon about this tomorrow." ”

After several years of war, Agamemnon's ruling authority became more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone gradually became convinced of him.

It is believed that when Agamemnon captured Troy and won this war, it was when his prestige reached its peak, but it was not in the interest of the gods.

But at this moment, everyone is still very convinced of Agamemnon, and everything will be reported.

Ocean Palace

Far away at the bottom of the sea, a palace hidden deep underwater, the palace is not affected by the sea at all, and it is resplendent in gold.

At this time, in the underwater palace, Thetis thoughtfully opened the water mirror in front of her, and the water mirror showed the conversation between Calcas and Odysseus.

And the conversation between Calcas and Odysseus is all in my ears.

"The day has finally come. Thetis was furious, and in order to overcome fate, she did not hesitate to soak Achilles in the waters of the River Styx to make him immortal, but in the end she failed.

Later, in order to resist the arrangement of fate, she paid the young Achillesto to Lycomedes, the king of the island of Schyros, in the hope that he would raise Achilles to be an adult, so as to escape the cruel arrangement of fate.

But despite all her efforts, she still couldn't escape her fate, and when she saw two mortals discussing taking Achilles to Troy, she couldn't help but feel a pang of anger in her heart.

She wanted to teach these two mortals who did not know the height of the heavens and the earth, and let them understand that the child of Thetis was not something they could calculate, and when she thought of this, she had to get up.

"What do you want to do, Venerable Thetis?" At that moment, a young man appeared, holding a double snake staff in his hand, with a slightly flirtatious smile, and the small wings behind his ears and at the condyles of his feet still flapping, as if he had just arrived.

"It's Hermes!"

Hermes carried a serpentine scepter into the sea and went directly to Thetis's underwater palace, looking at Thetis, who was about to get up.

Thetis was silent, she knew that Hermes was here and was going to stop her.

Sure enough, I only heard Hermes continue: "Didn't you already know about it, and promised not to interfere in the fate of Achilles?"

Thetis was still silent, she was disheartened, and she did agree to such a request, but Achilles was her child after all, and when she saw the fate she was about to face, how could she bear it, so she couldn't help but stop it.

"Don't go against Zeus, you know, it's about Zeus's fate, and he won't tolerate it. Hermes retracted his smile and issued a sincere warning.

"But the prophecy is not necessarily me, Metis is not necessarily me, and I may not be. In the face of Hermes's aggressiveness, who had been silent, Thetis couldn't help but speak.

"Thetis, you are right, but as long as there is the slightest possibility, Zeus will not let it go. ”

Hermes's words were close to threatening, and he clearly told Thetis that this time it was Zeus who felt threatened, and you should not interfere, otherwise you will be cleaned up together.

Thetis was silent, the terrible prophecy of Prometheus haunted Zeus, Metis was Zeus's first wife and Athena's mother, but that's it, Zeus swallowed her into his stomach mercilessly, let alone himself?

Fate is changeable, Metis cannot fulfill the prophecy, and the next thing is himself (Thetis), and maybe there will be other goddesses in the future.

If there is suspicion, it must be eliminated, this is Zeus's logic, if it weren't for Thetis being a god, maybe killing it would be a better solution.

"Moreover, Peleus, your husband, is only the grandson of Zeus, but the blood of Achilles is almost catching up with Hercules, right?"

"This ever-growing divine blood shocked the gods so much. ”

Hercules completed 12 "impossible" tasks and was made a god, which was a fateful arrangement, but the gods no longer wanted to see a hero like Hercules appear among human heroes.

And now it seems that Achilles, who has a rich divine blood and is constantly approaching Hercules, is the most likely to have this condition, and may even surpass Hercules.

"So, he must die. Hermes made a conclusion, with the coldness and resoluteness characteristic of the gods, and at this hearing Thetis took three steps back and let out a deep sigh.

As a mother who loves her children deeply, what else is more sad to see her children die in front of them, and she is powerless?

But she couldn't help it.

The root cause of the Battle of Troy was Prometheus' terrible prophecy: "A wrong marriage will bring the king of the gods to destruction." ”

Fate flowed to Metis, and before Athena could be born, Zeus swallowed her.

Now that it was time for Thetis, Zeus arranged for Thetis to marry the mortal hero Peleus and give birth to Achilles.

In order to kill Achilles, the son of fate, Zeus launched the Battle of Troy, and as for the cutting off of human heroes, it was only incidental.

Therefore, the death of Achilles is a foregone conclusion, and everything else can live, but he will definitely die.

Hermes looked at her sympathetically and said, "O Thetis, don't stand in the way, otherwise no matter how much affection and merit you have, you will be useless in the face of Zeus's wrath and thunder." ”

As he spoke, Hermes flapped his wings and disappeared into the sea in an instant.
