Chapter 490: A Business
Mt. Date
It's been more than ten days since the gods last came to Mt. Date.
In the past ten days, Pei Ziyun's life has not changed much, the only difference is that Pei Ziyun is no longer idle in the free time when he comes back from grazing, and in order to better adapt to the needs of this world, he has increased his physical exercise.
In Honore's opinion, Paris was still the same as before, but he often made himself sweat profusely by doing strange things.
When she asked, Paris would tell her that it was a body-strengthening exercise.
"Hey, ha" Pei Ziyun finished a set of guidance, slowly put it away, and suddenly "boom", his body shook, as if he had broken a certain bondage, and if he looked closely, he would find a trace of metallic luster flashing away on his body.
"System!"
A small plum blossom appeared quickly, and quickly enlarged, turning into a transparent data frame, with a faint sense of light in front of the eyes.
"Heroes: Tier 1 (15.3%)"
"Stunt: Iron Cast Copper Pour (6.8%)"
"I don't think I'm wrong, this world is more focused on the flesh than the original world. β
"In just ten days, my physical strength has improved a lot. β
"What's more, the iron-cast bronze poured is actually allowed by the worldβyes, in the battle of Troy, the strongest warrior on the Greek side, Achilles, the son of the goddess of the sea, Thetis, is invulnerable. β
"In addition to it, there is also Poseidon's son Kuknos, also cast iron and bronze. β
"However, I feel that the targeted training has reached the limit and there is not much improvement, and it seems that Paris does have limited talent. β
"However, I can try to put my sustenance and reputation on the basis of sustenance and fame, and see if I can drive progress. Pei Ziyun exhaled heavily, looked around, groped around, and took out a small jar.
There were seven silver coins in it, and that's all Paris had to do.
Silver coins minted by the city-states were already prevalent at this time, and if you look closely, the obverse depicts a rider driving four sets of carriages, holding a whip in his right hand and a rein in his left, with Nike, the goddess of victory, flying over them to crown the horse.
The back picture shows the body of a human head and a cow, which is the river god Acherous.
"There are too few possessions!"
"However, I have some sheepskins from my father, which I had given me to marry a wife, but I can now sell them all, and I must have thirty pieces of silver. β
Then he pondered, and heard Ononee shout, "My dear, I have brought you not only wild goat's milk, but also a wild sheep. β
The girl looked to be in the prime of her cardamom years, with delicate ruddy skin and dark curls, and a pair of dark brown almond eyes, and her limbs were as powerful and slender as a fawn.
She dragged a sheep with a jar in her hand, and this was goat's milk, and it was not the sheep's milk of the king's sheep, but the goat's milk of Mount Ida.
In fact, there are sheep in the pasture surrounded by boulders on the hillside, Paris will drive the sheep and cattle back to the boulder in the evening, and there are four fierce dogs, they look like wolves, there are always hundreds of sheep and cows, but not only can they not be killed, but even the goat's milk and milk have to be handed in, and it is not easy to keep some of these goats' milk for their own drinking.
"Come in!" The two went in, Pei Ziyun lived in a grass house, with leaves and branches on the ground, and a rough wild sheep skin on it, this was the original Paris life.
Although Ononee is the daughter of the river god (Cebren), the river god (Cebren) is just an inconspicuous river god, and her home is not much better than Paris, but she still has a little right, driving a wild sheep to slaughter, and sacrifice a part of the meat to Hermes and Aphrodite.
Pei Ziyun said: "The gods are worthy of respect, and they must also be sacrificed to Hera and Athena, who have also come to glory in glory. β
So he did so, and Onone was deeply moved, and said, "My dear Paris, if you respect the gods in this way, you will surely be blessed by the gods. β
At this time, the clouds covered the moon, and the wind was howling, and she was heard saying, "Drink, my dear!"
Pei Ziyun was moved in his heart, although there are wild sheep and goat's milk on Mount Ida, they are not available casually, and Onone himself does not have much, I am afraid that she will give her share to herself.
It's just that in the first ten days, he tried his best to boil his body, improve his body, and keep up with the necessary nutrition, so he accepted it, but this is not a long-term solution.
"Wheels. β
"Wheels. β
After a while, the wild goat milk sent by Onone was drunk by Pei Ziyun, and he ate the meat again, and just as he was cleaning up the situation, another shepherd came over and shouted to Pei Ziyun: "Paris, the big game in the city is about to start, will you go?"
"Go!" Pei Ziyun responded loudly.
This game in Troy City is the main event, and many of his plans need to be completed through this game, and whether he can get the start in the battle of Troy is very important.
Besides, this is also the arrangement of fate, he wants to try to change some things - Athena's matter, but he doesn't dare, or this, when the result of the Battle of Troy has been written into the script by the gods, if it is a gradual change, it is okay, change it and choose Athena, it will attract Zeus's killing opportunity.
Paris is just a mortal, and it is natural to change the script at once, and it is natural to choose a new introduction.
So don't dare.
But some subtle can be had, accumulated too much, Zeus can't overturn and start over.
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun turned to Onone and said, "Dear Onone, when I win the competition, I will have the money to marry you." β
Pei Ziyun said these words to Onone, and Onone was very moved, but at this time, she had a bad premonition in her heart, and quickly stretched out her hand and said, "Paris......"
Onone wanted to stop Pei Ziyun from participating in the competition, but the words came to his mouth, and he didn't know what was going on, he was instantly paralyzed, and his tongue couldn't speak.
She watched Pei Ziyun comfort: "Onogne, don't worry, I will definitely win." β
The attitude and tone were resolute, and Pei Ziyun's words at this moment gave birth to a sense of tragedy in the eyes of Honore, as if he was not going to participate in the competition, but to go on a journey.
The games in Troy were actually the sports competitions of later generations, and in the ancient Greek world, it was a place where commoners and even untouchables could participate.
Those who excel in it will win favor and even the appreciation of the gods.
Because of this, many people will choose to participate in the competition to get a chance.
And the so-called Olympus Conference, in fact, is the most famous of all the competitions, and the nature is the same.
Pei Ziyun said goodbye to Onogne and went down the mountain alone.
Standing on the mountain, Onone watched Paris go down the mountain, and was terrified in her heart, how much she wanted to tell Pei Ziyun not to participate in this competition, and how much she wanted to accompany Paris when she was far away.
However, a force suppressed all her actions, and only a voice was heard sighing softly in her ear: "My daughter, this is the will of the gods, and you cannot stop it." β
It turned out that the river god intervened in time to stop Onone, and the gods of the Battle of Troy did not allow anything to happen.
Onone covered her mouth slightly, tears welling up in her eyes, instantly filling her entire cheeks.
Troy City
The mythical version of the Battle of Troy, the scale of Troy City is much larger than the original, and the population of the entire city is about 50,000, although in the original world, a city of this size is not worth mentioning at all, but in this era, it can be called a giant city.
It overlooks the bay, and on the fertile and unusual land outside the city, lush olives, grapes, and wheat grow.
The city has 8 gates, the streets and alleys are dotted, extending in all directions, and the center of the city is a huge square, with temples of Zeus, Athena, Apollo, and some small temples, and the bustling streets, the sun shines among the marble buildings.
Pei Ziyun walked on the street, holding a heavy burden in his hand, going in and out of the street shops, and in less than a while, all the baggage was gone.
Walking to a secluded street, Pei Ziyun heard the troubadour, whose singing voice was sometimes high-pitched, sometimes passionate, sometimes low, sometimes low. A beautiful poem came out of his mouth, as if infused with his soul.
Pei Ziyun smiled slightly and stepped forward to stop him.
"Great troubadour, your singing voice is so beautiful, I was attracted by your singing, and under the guidance of the gods, I came to you. β
"If you don't mind, I'd like to invite you to the tavern for a nice drink. β
The troubadour glanced at Pei Ziyun and said, "Thank you for your sincere invitation. β
In the tavern, after a few drinks, Pei Ziyun became a little drunk: "Tomorrow there will be an annual conference in the city, and I will also participate in the competition this time." β
"I also know that there are bets on every game, and that's what God allows. Pei Ziyun paused, and then said: "Let me tell you a little secret, I sold everything I had and exchanged it for coins, which were ten silver coins, all of which I bet on myself." β
"I have a business to talk to you about. β
"Oh?" the troubadour showed a slight surprise, ten silver coins is a lot, this kind of little person often wins and loses more than ten, if he wins, it is a hundred.
Although the troubadour drank a lot of wine and was drunk and hazy, if you look closely, you will find that behind the misty eyes is a sober thought.
Pei Ziyun said: "If I lose this competition, then I don't need to say anything, but if I win, I swear in the name of God, I will give you all the money I winβa hundred silver coins, as long as you write a poem for me, how about it?"
The troubadour glanced at Pei Ziyun deeply, nodded slowly, and agreed.
What Pei Ziyun asked him to do was not so difficult at all, he usually wrote poems, and many of them were based on characters in the city, but this time Pei Ziyun's price was so high, he failed, he didn't have any loss to him, if he wins, he can get a rich reward, he has no reason not to agree.
It's just that this young man really has such confidence, he asked, "My name is Gesnie, what is your name?"
"Paris!" Pei Ziyun said confidently.
