Chapter 503: Mission
Mansion early in the morning
Everything revives, the birds sing, the morning sun rises, and the sun shines on the garden, giving everything a golden color.
Pei Ziyun, who was drunk last night, got up early today and came to the garden to move his body in the rising sun.
As soon as his hands and feet moved, Pei Ziyun clearly felt that the basic abilities of his body had improved significantly, and he could feel that the abilities of his body were still growing slightly.
"Endurance, flexibility, strength, all have increased, this is the martial arts of this world?" Pei Ziyun thought secretly.
"If the martial arts of this world are the growth of these abilities, it is very beneficial to me, in terms of martial arts, I have already reached the grandmaster, and if the basic abilities - speed, strength, and endurance are improved, then my strength will grow very quickly, and it will be improved in all aspects. ”
Just thinking about it, Pei Ziyun sank his mind into the space.
Exactly the same darkness, this time it was different from the underworld, there was no light, no wind, a void, only a small space emerged.
A light fell in front of the small hall, looked at himself, it was a person who looked like a crown, and smiled: "Only here can I show it like this." ”
The legacy of the last world is still left.
Looking around the space, I saw that on the side of the original small hall, another pillar appeared, and there were delicate patterns on the column, which was a bit of a pillar of the Greek temple, but there was only one.
"The space is a little bigger, but it's tiny, and if there are enough statues to provide it, the space will definitely expand faster than that. ”
Around the small hall, there are tiny miniature statues, full of monsters.
On the side of the newly created pillars, an iron statue of a kraken is standing vividly, and a wonderful power is seeping out of the statue.
Pei Ziyun stepped forward and felt the oozing power with his skin, once these powers were transformed, they became powers that were different from Pei Ziyun's original Dao power, but somewhat similar.
"Is this a power unique to this world?"
"Strictly speaking, the blood of the Kraken also comes from the gods, which is a power that is one level lower than the divine power?" Pei Ziyun secretly guessed.
If it is, he has the same power as the gods, although the power is very weak, but once he grows stronger and transforms more space, he can break through.
Pei Ziyun carefully felt the power oozing from the statue, and found that every bit of power appeared, and the data on the system jumped.
Although the beating of data on the system is getting slower and slower, this is due to the fact that the last time the space ingested the sea monster has been almost consumed, and once you find a new source, the beating of the data will change drastically.
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun found that he had become eager for this kind of resource, and he really had to find out where these monsters were.
After reading these, I drank: "system"
A plum appeared in front of his eyes, and quickly enlarged, turning into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of him.
"Give the head of the Siren to Artemis, and the skin of the Siren to Apollo (done). ”
Pei Ziyun didn't press it immediately, just pondered.
Having obtained a kraken from this world, the system seems to have a starting point for prying, and the quests are officially born, which are not difficult, but seem to be critical.
"It seems that it is impossible to please all the main gods, and mortals will only be unreliable in this way, so the system wants me to focus on Artemis and Apollo?"
And according to God's reaction, it seems to be very pertinent. ”
"However, the original regular sacrifice is indispensable, even if it is a hostile god, it is necessary to maintain respect. ”
"This mission is actually for me to grasp the key destiny point. Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun pressed it heavily, and the strange thing is that it did not produce a reward immediately, only one more.
"Bonus 1 Destiny Point. ”
"Destiny point?" This immediately attracted Pei Ziyun's attention, and he immediately closed his eyes to realize.
"Hey, fate points are the power to change the trajectory of fate, and different points are used depending on the event. ”
At this moment, his mind sank into the space Pei Ziyun felt someone approaching him, withdrew from the space, opened his eyes, and woke up.
Troy Rose walked in from the outside with brisk steps, saw Pei Ziyun who was exercising in the morning, bowed slightly and said, "Brother, thank you for your rescue, and you gave me a lot of gifts." ”
He smiled and continued, "Last time, we were in trouble without you, the sea monster is too powerful for us. ”
Pei Ziyun looked at Troy Ross and smiled slightly.
This Troy Ross was originally Ifubos's little henchman, but now he clearly turned to himself, not only because he had a life-saving grace for him, but most importantly, because of his strength and generosity, which was the most important thing.
Now not only has he gained the favor of Troyros, but also Clomios, Ekembon, Lycaon, Pamon, etc., and even the illegitimate sons Temokoon and Gorgetsion are close to him, and even the elders in the city, although some still doubt themselves, but some of them praise and appreciate themselves.
Within a few days of his return from the island of Tenedos, he replaced Ifubos as the second prince after Hector.
Pei Ziyun looked at Troy Rose, who was a little restrained, and smiled: "My dear brother, we are brothers, and I should save you." By the way, what is the reason why you are here this time?"
"Brother, there is news from the temple that not only here is us, but also sea monsters and monsters have appeared elsewhere. Troy Rose said solemnly.
"This news came from the temple?" Pei Ziyun thought for a moment, if he hadn't understood it before, but after receiving some knowledge from Melagramus, he immediately understood.
Greek temple priests often delivered oracles that could know what was happening in distant places, and in addition to priests, prophets also enjoyed an important position.
But oracles are also divided into levels, the meaning of God is the most basic, followed by predicting the future, in the Greek god system, Zeus and Apollo have oracles, and more advanced, the oracle of fate, which even Zeus does not dare to disobey easily, unless it directly threatens its life and power.
"Yes, according to the rules of the temple, unless the gods agree, the temple cannot directly intervene in politics and military affairs, but this monster business is not included, it is something that all the people need to know. Troy Ross knew that his brother Paris might not understand this, so he explained, paused for a moment, and continued: "But brother, I didn't come here for this matter, but my father has something to ask you to do. ”
"Oh?" Pei Ziyun suddenly had a hunch, combined with the time he is in now, as well as the summary of information in all aspects, it is estimated that he still can't avoid getting back on the right track of history, this is the script arranged for him by the gods.
Although he probably knew it in his heart, Pei Ziyun continued to ask: "Did my father say what was the matter?"
"I don't know this very well, but when I came, my father only told me that there was something he wanted you to do, and that you should hurry to the palace at once, and he would announce it there. ”
"Looking at this posture, it really made me visit Greece, but this key historical event is coming, how should I choose to maximize my interests?" Pei Ziyun thought secretly, just thought, Yimei appeared in front of him, and quickly enlarged, turning into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of him.
"Mission: The will of the people - the will of the gods cannot be disobeyed, but you (Paris) cannot bear the responsibility for causing war. ”
Looking at this, Pei Ziyun suddenly realized something, and said, "Let's set off to the palace." ”
After saying this, Onone quickly commanded the servant to come in with a suit of clothes. Originally, the matter of changing clothes should be done by the servants to help Pei Ziyun, but Onone likes to help Pei Ziyun change clothes in person every time, which gives her a great sense of happiness and satisfaction.
Gesne was preparing the carriage at the door, and he was now becoming more and more conscious of a steward.
Pei Ziyun also felt that Gesner was becoming more and more convenient to use, although this troubadour still couldn't change his greed for money, but this small problem, Pei Ziyun could still tolerate it.
Pei Ziyun walked into the carriage with Troy Rose's hand, which made Troy Rose secretly happy: "My brother finally accepted me." ”
"Snap" The coachman slapped the horse's body with a whip, and the horse galloped quickly.
The main hall of the royal palace.
The main hall of the royal palace of Troy is supported by forty-eight huge columns, and the walls are all made of marble, and the gates are several meters wide and several meters high.
Pei Ziyun, who arrived in a hurry, walked into the gate with vigorous steps, and as soon as he walked in, he saw that most of the powerful people in the Trojan Kingdom had arrived, and the king rarely sat on the marble throne, the princes stood on the left side of the direction of entry, and the elders stood on the right.
The world's city-states are very different from Daxu, the so-called city-state, that is, a city together with the surrounding countryside is an independent sovereign state, the territory of these independent sovereign states is very small, the largest kingdom in Greece Sparta is only more than 3,000 square miles (8,000 square kilometers), the second largest country Athens is only 1,000 square miles, only equivalent to a county.
The smaller city-states, most of which ranged from a hundred to a few hundred, were only 350 square miles in Corinth.
Troy is already the closest kingdom, roughly connected with vassal dominions, about 10,000 square kilometers, which is actually a very dangerous data, which means that when it reaches a critical point, as long as it expands again, it is likely to snowball, unify Asia Minor, and even occupy Greece.
However, now, it is still a city-state kingdom, and the people in charge are the king's children and elders, although some small city-states do not even have permanent officials, but the power in the hands of officials is not large.
Pei Ziyun just came in, and some of the princes and elders who showed him closeness greeted him one after another, and some princes and elders who did not express their stance also had smiles on their faces, of course, this did not include Ifubos, who still had a gloomy dead face when Pei Ziyun came in.
Obviously, from the reactions of these princes and elders, it can be seen that Pei Ziyun's position is stable, and he has taken the position of the second prince in a down-to-earth manner.
"Your Majesty Priam, your son Paris sends you the most sincere respects, and may the gods bless you. Pei Ziyun put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and saluted the king.
"Well, Paris, it's good that you're here, you get in the queue first, and we'll talk about your business later. King Priam said.
"Yes, Father. Pei Ziyun responded.
King Priam glanced at the princes, elders, and ministers in front of him, and spoke slowly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, when I was a child, Hercules captured the city of Troy, killed my father Laomerdon, and robbed my sister Hesione, giving her to his friend Telamon as his wife. ”
"Hesione became the queen of Salamis, but we were defeated and destroyed, which is a great insult, and we must seek justice and stand up, and first of all we must erase this shame - go to Greece to redeem my sister. ”
As soon as the king said this, everyone started talking, and Pei Ziyun looked at the angry young people and the old people with worries, and suddenly understood.
At present, the world can actually be divided into two camps, one is Greece proper, and the other is the new colony of Asia Minor.
The Greek mainland's usual approach to the new powers was to harvest them again and again, destroying the city-states of Asia Minor, which was also the reason for Hercules' capture of Troy last time.
And now that Troy has recovered and grown, it is time for revenge.
This is also the content of the king's meeting today, but this revenge will be completed in several steps, and the redemption of the king's sister Hesione is the first step.
"In the first step of the plan, I will act as the crow messenger who causes the war according to the will of the gods. Pei Ziyun thought secretly.
In fact, this war of revenge, in general, is political, Greece wants to harvest the city-states of Asia Minor again and again, and these city-states will definitely rebel, and the sharp confrontation between Greece and Asia Minor is irreconcilable.
Second, in terms of gods, Apollo and his sister Artemis, who were rooted in Asia Minor, gradually grew in strength with the rise of the colonies of Asia Minor, and they had the intention of challenging the original divine order, so the contradiction between them and the gods who maintained the original divine order was also irreconcilable.
This will have to be resolved through a war.
Of course, the gods have a bottom line, and this bottom line is that they must not kill the gods, and all the gods have no record of directly killing them, at most they are entering Tartarus, so the loss is only human beings.
On a smaller scale, King Priam was full of revenge, and the young Trojans wanted to defeat Greece proper, thus establishing hegemony with the city-states of Asia Minor at its core. Although there are old conservatives, they are a minority in Troy after all, and they cannot become a climate.
From this point of view, no one can stop this war, not even Zeus.
And the gods saw it very clearly, and formulated the "script" very early on and laid it out in advance.
Now it seems that Zeus fully maintains the original divine order, which can be regarded as maintaining his dominance among the gods, and Athena, Hera and other gods are Zeus's camp.
These gods, led by Apollo, who faintly challenged the original order of divine power, now seem to have little chance of winning.
"But even then, I can't get off the boat. ”
"Or rather, mortals are not qualified to pick a faction. ”
