"Prince Paris, you're going to Sparta. A captain reported.

"Well, get our bulls ready, and when I get off the boat, I'll have to sacrifice to the gods. Pei Ziyun said.

"Yes, Prince Paris. The captain agreed.

"Go to Sparta, go to Sparta, continue to buy and sell goods, and get acquainted with the local troubadours, don't be afraid to spend money, and give me more contacts this time. ”

"Prince Paris, I will. Gesne replied respectfully.

"Corcelia, keep in mind the paperwork for the goods and the expenses for the inflow and out, and this time I will send gifts to the former troubadours, and let them write poems on my subject, and write as much as possible, and spread as widely as possible. Pei Ziyun said.

"Yes, Prince Paris. Cocelia said.

Now that he has tried to see the dagger and understands the bottom line of the gods, he will not be polite, he should quickly increase his prestige, and he will try his best to implement it, and he will not hide it.

"Strength growth is death, prestige growth is death, offending Hera is death. Pei Ziyun thought secretly: "Then I will be Zeus to cut off the chess pieces of the Greek heroes, the big boss." ”

"On the contrary, you can live to the end, and when you encounter danger, you will be blessed by the gods. ”

"Of course, the big boss must die in the end, but I have the plum blossom system, whether to die or not, hehe, I have to wait and see!"

Sparta

Sparta is located in the southern part of the Greek peninsula in the plain of Laconia, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a small plain in the middle that guards the Titus Mountains.

The whole of Sparta was known for its strict discipline.

And King Menelaus was such a harsh man, and under his rule, Sparta grew stronger and stronger.

But King Menelaus was in great pain at the moment, he loved Queen Helen deeply, but the distant war forced him to personally lead the fleet to the sea to fight.

Before Pei Ziyun arrived at the dock of Sparta, the king of Sparta, Menelaus, had already bid farewell to Queen Helen.

"Helen, my dear queen, I really owe you this time, but things far away have forced me to lead the fleet to sea, and when I return, I will make amends to you. King Menelaus of Sparta said affectionately.

After saying that, King Menelaus did not wait for Queen Helen to reply, and directly boarded the battleship and led the fleet to the sea.

"Ah, rude and incomprehensible Menelaus. Helen said goodbye to her husband, and when she saw the fleet gathering and leaving, she said bitterly.

Menelaus's departure left Helen with nothing to do, and she returned to the palace to amuse the baby Hermione, who was still lying in her cradle, and pondered in her heart.

"My father (adoptive father), why did you choose Menelaus?"

Just then, a maid ran in and reported: "Queen, it is said that a foreign prince has come to Sparta and is now offering sacrifices at the temple of Artemis outside the city. ”

"Oh, which country's prince is this?" asked Queen Helen.

"The queen, who is said to be the prince of the kingdom of Troy, said to be handsome, and everyone who saw her said that she was more handsome, than she was in the past. The maid replied.

Helen was immediately curious to meet the Trojan prince, and said that Helen's character was much better in Athens, or any other city-state, than in Sparta.

For Helen, the strict, murderous Sparta, and the equally rude Menelaus, really made her feel love.

Helen commanded, "Prepare a chariot for me, and I will go to the temple of Artemis outside the city to pray and relax." ”

Strictly speaking, although Menelaus was a king, he was actually a son-in-law, and this order was immediately carried out by maids and soldiers.

It's just that along the way, Queen Helen doesn't know why and has been restless.

"It may be that Menelaus has just walked away, and he is not used to it. She thought to herself, and with apprehension, the curious Helen had just gotten off the carriage and went to the temple, just in time to see Pei Ziyun offering sacrifices to Artemis.

She watched from behind as a man sacrificed to Artemis, then raised her hand to pray, and stared curiously.

The goddess made Paris handsome, and when Helen saw Paris for the first time, she was stunned, and the prince in front of her was not so much a young man as a teenager, but there was no trace of youth.

The figure is a little thin, with black hair and black eyes, wearing a simple white tunic and a bronze belt around his waist.

Instead, Pei Ziyun looked back and saw a young queen, and the goddess made her shine, almost making herself think for a moment that she was seeing Aphrodite herself!

Relatively speaking, Onone and Kassandra (princess) are inferior, no wonder many heroes are fascinated by her, and Pei Ziyun also thinks Helen is beautiful.

Although Pei Ziyun did not ask Helen's identity, when he saw her for the first time, he knew that this woman was Helen, the queen of the Spartan Kingdom, and it was also this woman who led Paris to the abyss of no return.

"It's simply the embodiment of Aphrodite. Pei Ziyun thought.

However, although Helen was beautiful, Pei Ziyun was not too out of shape, and he quickly noticed that Helen was abnormal, and there was an invisible halo on her body that constantly exuded an intoxicating aura.

"Is this divine grace?or is it her own charm aura?Or both, she originally had it, but the goddess temporarily strengthened it?" Pei Ziyun thought to herself.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, staring at each other tightly for a while, Pei Ziyun seemed to want to say something more, but took a deep breath and smiled: "Beautiful lady, may I ask you are Helen, Queen of Sparta?"

Helen was secretly surprised that he didn't explain his identity, how did he know?

"How do you know who I am?" Helen whispered as she stared at Paris's handsome face.

"I've heard for a long time that there was a beautiful queen in Sparta, and now that I see the queen, I know that such a beautiful lady must be you. Pei Ziyun smiled.

"I'm Helen—what's your name?" asked Helen.

"Paris, from the kingdom of Troy. Pei Ziyun said.

"Prince Paris, welcome to Sparta and have the opportunity to be a guest at the royal palace. Helen said.

"I will. After speaking, Pei Ziyun said goodbye, although he knew that this was the fuse that caused the Battle of Troy, but it was the result of the manipulation of the gods, without Helen, there would be other women to replace him.

The gods of Olympus are all paying attention to the progress of the meeting between Paris and Helen at this moment, although this is the temple of Artemis, but with the permission of Artemis himself, the gods of Olympus can still clearly see the scene in the temple.

"Helen and Paris have feelings, but they don't seem to have much effect. In the eyes of the gods, Paris and Helen just chatted a few words, and did not spark love at first sight, or rather, two sane people would have this result.

"It seems that we still have to push it and get Paris and Helen together as soon as possible. This thought came to the minds of the gods.

"Paris is very determined, and perhaps he and Honore are indeed in love. Hermes said as he watched Paris's performance.

"Hmph, what about falling in love, and not betraying Onone in the end?" said Hera.

Apollo stared at the clouds in the sky and did not speak.

Hermes turned to look at Aphrodite and said, "It's up to you." ”

Aphrodite nodded, opened her palm, and two arrows slowly grew from the palm of her palm, which was very short, but the whole material was dark and pink with a hint of fishy sweetness.

"This is love!" said Aphrodite, admiring, "and even I have to be careful not to be cut by an arrow, for this is the oldest and most sincere love I have ever picked, and I have no doubt that even the slightest wound will be enough to devour the body and mind." ”

"Make up for the hero!" she said, picking up her bow and arrow, and aimed it at Paris and Helen.

"Phew. ”

With one shot and two arrows, the arrows flew out of Mount Olympus, passed through layers of space, crossed many obstacles, and pierced Helen and Pei Ziyun's chests in an instant.

This arrow is the arrow of love, and the middle one will love another one from now on, and he will not be able to extricate himself.

Pei Ziyun raised his head if he realized it, the arrow shot at him was close at hand, which could avoid some of it, but he immediately felt the breath of Aphrodite.

The gods were watching their every move and couldn't show any flaws, and it was Aphrodite's arrow of love that was shot.

Helen only felt a tingling in her heart, and took a deep breath from time to time, she was hit by the arrow of love, and she wanted to leave, but at this time, she stared deeply at the figure of Paris, her eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, and the figure of her husband Menelaus quickly faded away.

At this moment, Helen, the queen of Sparta, only had Paris in her eyes, her heart was full of sweet pain, and her face was crimson with shame.

And almost at the same time, Pei Ziyun only felt a pain in his heart, the queen in front of him was particularly beautiful, attracting his attention, and his whole body and mind were full of that terrible, almost irrepressible temptation and impulse.

"It seems that at once he is going to rob her to the ship, desperate to occupy her. ”

"It's a terrible thing, and it is said that Apollo was also hit by this arrow, which led to the pursuit of the hopeless Daphne, causing Daphne to turn into a laurel tree. ”

Pei Ziyun lowered his head, smiled, stood up, ignored Queen Helen's eyes, and turned back to the boat.

The gods who watched looked at each other, and Aphrodite smiled: "Love is fast and deadly, rest assured, no matter how great a hero is, it won't last long." ”

"Besides, we can't let Helen and Paris fall in love with each other in the Temple of Artemis and defile Artemis' holiness!"

Artemis was a virgin goddess, and it was true that she could not immediately exert her maximum effect, so that they fell in love with each other in the temple, and the gods nodded their heads—and for good reason.
