Pei Ziyun appeared in the air, stood invisible in the air, and shouted: "System!"

A plum quickly appeared in front of him, and quickly enlarged, changing into a data frame with a faint sense of light.

"Mission: Dream Kingdom of Britain, 6/5"

Pei Ziyun pressed it heavily, only to hear a sound, the task of building a kingdom was completed, and 6 fate points were obtained.

"Very good, results that exceeded the upper limit of the system. ”

Then I looked at the system and saw that there was one last task left.

"Mission: Save Orestes and get the first temple in Greece (unfinished). ”

"The salvation of Orestians is complete, or not completely complete, and in Greece I have not yet acquired the first temple. Pei Ziyun thought secretly.

Pei Ziyun helped Orestes escape from the palace at that time, but in fact, saving Orestes was only half done.

"But that's pretty much it now. Pei Ziyun glanced at Orestes and muttered to himself.

Orestes was an adult and, with the help of Apollo, killed his mother, Clytemnestra, and his cousin Aegystous, who had usurped the throne.

Persecuted by the goddess of revenge for her relatives, Orestes fled to the city of Athena, where she sought refuge in the temple of Athena, and Athena said that a court would be opened outside the city to try the case.

"The god of Apollo is above the three goddesses of vengeance. ”

"But the gap is not too big, and only Athena can suppress it, so it is natural to go to Athens. ”

"This is my final story. Pei Ziyun said secretly.

Athens

On a hillside in front of the city, with lush vegetation and a clearing in the middle, Athena stands in the center, the plaintiff is the goddess of revenge commissioned by Clytemnestra, and the defendant is Orestes.

The jury also came, all of whom were respected citizens of the city of Athens.

At this time, two strangers came slowly from a distance, and after a while, standing in front of the defendant, in fact, these two people were Apollo and Pei Ziyun.

As soon as the Nemesis saw Apollo, they cried out, "Apollo, you should go about your own business, and you, a new god, why are you here too?"

Apollo replied, "It was I who persuaded him to kill his mother, and told him that this was a godly devotion that God welcomed, and that I should protect him." ”

"I am Paris, and your father was my enemy, but before he died, he prayed to me to build a temple for me, so that I could protect Orestes, and I woke up Orestes's sister and protected him from the palace, and now I continue to fulfill the king's promise. ”

"So, I'll defend you as well. Pei Ziyun said to Orestes.

When Athena saw that all the people were coming, she stood up and said, "Nemesis, give me your case." ”

"We can ask bluntly. The eldest of Nemesis spoke.

"Defendant, could you please answer my question: Did you kill your own mother?"

"I don't deny it. Orestes said, and his face turned pale with horror when he heard Nemesis ask.

"How did you kill her?"

"I cut her neck with a sharp sword. Orestes said tremblingly.

"Who told you to do this?"

"Apollo prompted me with an oracle that I should do so, and here he is, to bear witness to me. Orestes replied.

At the same time, Orestes said: "I defend myself by killing Clytemnestra not as my own mother, but as my father's murderer." ”

"Clytemnestra and Aegistos bound my father Agamemnon with a net, and then she stabbed my father to death, and his blood was all over the ground, and his howl I can still remember. ”

"Clytemnestra's murder of her husband Agamemnon, I think, is a heinous crime that must be punished. Apollo defended.

But Orestes' murder of his mother was equally heinous and should be punished severely. ”

When they had finished arguing, Athena stood up and said, "Citizens of Athens, please listen to the first court today. ”

"Henceforth, you will always keep this court, which is located on this sacred Mount Ares, and you should all uphold its dignity as a pillar of the city. ”

"Now, jury, please stand up, the white stone represents innocence, the black stone represents guilty, remember your oath and vote for the verdict of this case!"

The jury silently stood up from their seats, lined up and threw stones into the bowl for the vote.

When all the people had cast their votes, and a new group of elected citizens stood up, counted the black and white stones that had been thrown into the bowl, and found that the two stones were equal in number, it was decided that the vote would be in Athena's hand.

Athena got up from her seat and asked Pei Ziyun, who had not spoken, and said, "Paris, what is your opinion?" ”

"Athena, you are the judge, and the last vote should be decided by you, but if you ask my opinion, I will say so. ”

"All laws are for the sake of the interests of the majority of the people, as well as order. ”

In front of God and man, Pei Ziyun said: "This case can't be simply discussed in black and white, a wife kills her husband for any reason, right?"

"Obviously no, it destroys the ethics and order of the family, and if we don't punish it, what husband can work and fight for his wife and children with peace of mind?"

"When they sweat and bleed, there is no point. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"But even if the mother is at fault, can the son kill her, it is obviously not right, he should not do it himself, but should be punished by the law or the king's judgment. ”

Most of them also nodded, except for Orestes, who had no earthy face.

"Of course, we all know that there is a peculiarity in this case, because the usurper has seized the royal power, who can support Orestes but the gods?"

Saying that, Pei Ziyun looked at Apollo's jaw, affirmed the legitimacy of Apollo's support, and said: "Who can take revenge except Orestes himself?"

"So ask my opinion, and I will say - Orestes is not guilty of killing his cousin Aegistus, who usurped the throne, and killing his mother Clytemnestra is necessary for sex, but must atone for it. ”

After Pei Ziyun's words were finished, the audience was contemplative.

Athena did not say this time, "I am not born of my mother, I jumped out of the head of my father Zeus, so I defend the rights of men", this kind of statement is actually not justified, but from a certain position.

She now says: "I agree with Paris's words that it was necessary for Orestes to kill Clytemnestra, but it was necessary to atone for it." ”

So saying, she left the judgment table, took a white stone and threw it on the bowl, returned to her seat, and solemnly declared: "After a vote, a majority vote decides—Orestes is exempted from punishment and freed, but he must atone for his sins." ”

When Orestes heard this, he was very moved and said, "Goddess Athena, you have saved me and my family, and I will praise your kindness to all the Greeks." ”

"And you, the great vanishing god Paris, do not mind the grievances of my father and you, having helped me twice, and I am about to return home and swear to the country and the people here that I will fulfill my father's vow and build you a temple. ”

After Orestes finished speaking, he got into the carriage and left Athens.

The goddess of vengeance was dissatisfied with Athena's verdict: "You young gods have trampled on the ancient laws. But, Athenians, you will regret today's verdict, and we will leave the cities and villages without grass and let the plague spread. ”

Even the gods could not ignore the curse of the goddess of revenge, and Apollo hurriedly said: "You should not be angry at the verdict, this is not your defeat and humiliation. ”

"The number of black and white stones in the bowl is equal. The jury did not offend you, it is God who is responsible for the judgment, and you should not vent your anger on innocent people. ”

"I assure you in the name of the people that you will be given a prominent position and a sacred honor here, and that the people of this city will sacrifice you year after year to worship you as a just and merciless goddess of vengeance!"

Athena also reaffirmed this promise, saying: "Honoured goddesses, believe me, the citizens of this city are willing to worship you, men, women and children will sing your praises, and they will build your temple next to the temple of King Erechtheus!

When the goddess of revenge heard this promise, she calmed her anger and said, "If the mortals of Athens are willing to serve me and keep justice, then I will forgive you." ”

"Great Nemesis, thank you so much for your generosity and forgiveness for our offense. The citizens of Athens sang hymns to see Nemesis out of the city.

Athena solved the matter, looked back at Pei Ziyun and said, "Paris, on Mount Olympus, the craftsmen of the gods have built a palace for you, you can go and see it." ”

Pei Ziyun nodded, and stepped on Mount Olympus, and sure enough, a little above the foot of the mountain, a pillar stretched out to a palace, although this palace was not big, but it was very exquisite, better than the decoration of his temple in England.

Although the gods of Mount Olympus did not come themselves, they sent fairies to send gifts to celebrate Pei Ziyun's move to a new palace.

Pei Ziyun asked the system: "The time is almost up, what is the next world?"

Pei Ziyun asked, but the system did not respond.

I don't know how much time has passed, Pei Ziyun suddenly opened his eyes, and with a little hand, a large piece of sacrificial beef appeared, and beef was the best piece of beef.

"It's a sacrifice!" Pei Ziyun smiled, he used to sacrifice to the gods by himself, but now someone finally sacrifices himself, and it is still a Greek sacrifice.

The figure vanished instantly, and then appeared at a temple in McKenny.

The temple is located on a small hill, this temple is relatively small, but it is also a complete temple, supported by twelve cylindrical columns, the whole temple is made of pure white marble, the altar stands, not far from the burning holy fire, outside the temple is a small square, a mountain road leads from the square to the bottom, and the new king of Mykanny, Orestes, is leading his people away.

Pei Ziyun wandered in the temple, looking at the first temple in Greece, and said with a long sigh: "It's finally finished." ”

Pei Ziyun turned on the system, pressed the last task, and the figure gradually disappeared.
