Troy

Early the next morning, the king gathered in the People's Square and busily prepared sacrifices to Zeus, Poseidon, and Apollo.

The priest brought the ox, and it was so smooth and muscular that anyone who saw it would not stop exclaiming, "Good cow, good cow!"

It's just that it seems to have a premonition, its eyes look suspiciously, and it screams from time to time.

The priest held the pottery and sprinkled the altar with water bombs, the people attending the ceremony, and the oxen, and then stretched out his arms to the sky.

"O great and resourceful Zeus, son of Cronus and Rhea, father of the gods, supreme ruler of all things on earth, lord of Olympus, god of gods, O great and resourceful Zeus!"

There was silence and prayer, and then the priest slaughtered the cow, and the blood flowed on the altar, and the priest removed the entrails and bones piece by piece, and sorted the meat and offered it.

Pei Ziyun's status is low, and he can only watch from afar, and then, something that is impossible to happen in a godless world happened.

On the altar, the most delicious piece of the cow is gone.

The priest praised, declaring, "The sacrifice has worked well, God has taken the sacrifice." ”

The parts that God does not need will be divided one by one, and a grand feast will be held at the same time, of course, this feast is not for ordinary people to participate in.

In the real history of Greece, cows, sheep and pigs were also slaughtered, and the offal and bones that were not eaten were used for sacrifices, and the rest were divided, which was actually the meaning.

On important occasions, the meat will be burned to show piety, but in the world where there is a real God, it turns out that God will collect the part that God loves to eat, and the rest that he does not like to eat, can only be eaten by mortals.

"The last sacrifice didn't seem to have attracted the attention of the gods. ”

At the tower gate, a shepherd came over from the crowd and said excitedly: "Paris, the prize for this year's 200-meter race is a sheep, and the champion of the archery competition not only has a cow, but also gets an extra pair of armor, and may even represent Troy in the Games held in Olympia!"

Tamen, whose face was flushed, waved his fist excitedly to relieve the excitement in his heart.

"Olympics!" Pei Ziyun was speechless, but he looked at his plan more cautiously in his heart, and the scene just now gave him a great impact.

"This is a world where the gods come and intervene from time to time. ”

"The relationship between the gods and man cannot be guessed by the original world, but fortunately, for the sake of prudence, I did not have a deep conversation with Gesnie, but only asked him to make a poem and sing the words of the gods and himself. ”

"In my estimation, this could reduce my responsibilities by seven to eighty percent. ”

"Not without further plans, but I would also like to say that Paris professed his love to Ononee in the presence of the gods, and that the lady-in-waiting rewarded by the king never touched, and that his love was tested, and perhaps only the bow and arrow of the goddess shot him in the heart would make him change his mind, after all, mortals could not resist the gods—these words were sung in advance, and there was no responsibility at all. ”

"Now that I think about it, this is really the way to die. ”

"Completely throwing the black cauldron to the gods, and exposing the plan in advance, will attract Zeus's killing opportunity, and Zeus will kill Paris and choose a new introduction to trigger the plot. ”

"Don't attach too much importance to the value of mortals in the world of gods - because even God's own son is a one-time prop on the stage!"

"It may be okay to simply say that Paris professed his love to Onogne in front of the gods. ”

Thinking like this, Pei Ziyun ran over, and the competitions included wrestling, long jump, running, and archery, and many aristocratic young people competed to participate, including the king's son.

Now, the first race of the day has finally begun.

Standing on the starting line, the sides of the track were crowded with cheering crowds, and some people even fought to grab a vantage point, which was evident on the first day of the conference.

Pei Ziyun is in the original world, not to say the blessing of the Dao, it is pure flesh, Pei Ziyun can guarantee that no one can run.

In this world, there are children of God everywhere, relying on physical strength to win the game, Pei Ziyun is not absolutely sure in his heart, but he will go all out.

"Paris, come on. "Tamen cheers for Paris.

"Paris, I've bet on you with all my money, and you're going to win. This is the cry of a gambler in Paris's memory.

With the referee's order, the 200-meter race preliminaries soon began.

The moment the racer rushed out, Pei Ziyun ran lightly in the front, leading in the shouting and cheering, and finally ran past the finish line with a gap of two bodies far ahead of the second place, and won the hoarse applause of the audience.

Although Paris is a shepherd, this does not affect the shouting of the enthusiastic audience. They cheered and danced, and the moment Pei Ziyun crossed the finish line, the atmosphere reached an unprecedented climax. Some people were so excited that their voices were hoarse.

This is the enthusiasm of ordinary people for sports in ancient Greece, and it is impossible to understand the fanatical pursuit of sports by the ancient Greeks without seeing this scene with their own eyes.

After the preliminaries eliminated most of the players, and only the best in each group were allowed to participate, the official competition was followed by the first place in the 200m race.

Pei Ziyun was sitting and resting, when suddenly a person came over, followed by two guards, both holding spears, staring at him fiercely halfway, making him slightly surprised.

Pei Ziyun patted the tower door, pointed to the person staring at him and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

"It's Prince Deifubos. Tamen replied.

"It turned out to be Prince Deifbos. Pei Ziyun sneered slightly, this person is Paris's younger brother, originally Paris won the archery competition, but De Yifubos was angry, brandished a spear, and rushed to Paris to stab him to death.

Paris fled to the altar of Zeus in a panic and met the princess Kassandra, a prophet, who was spared recognition, but Paris was cowardly and known by everyone, and was labeled a coward, a coward.

Originally, he wanted to change this, and because of this reputation, Paris was doomed to have no future in this world - who would follow a coward?

Now it seems that De Ifubos is very cooperative!

The grand finale began soon.

"Quick!" gave the order, Pei Ziyun ran out in an instant, running around, faintly with a hint of wind, and the surrounding audience let out exclamations and cheers.

The short distance of 200 meters is just a very short distance, just a few breaths, Pei Ziyun surpassed Prince Ifubos and other competitors, and at the end of the line, Pei Ziyun won the first place in the 200-meter race with a far lead.

Everyone cheered, jumped for joy, and applauded.

Most people are happy, but some people are angry, Prince Ifubos is full of iron at the moment, the first place in the 200-meter race is already in the bag, but I didn't expect to kill a shepherd halfway!

If it weren't for the game, and if the citizens of the city weren't watching, he would have taught this shepherd a hard lesson, and let him know what it means to be noble and lowly!

"When"

A gong sounded, and someone shouted: "Next game, archery." ”

Unlike racing, the world attaches great importance to force, archery as the most important martial art, almost all princes will participate in the competition, there are many princes in the archery skills, Pei Ziyun wants to get the first place in the archery competition, the difficulty is much higher than two hundred meters.

It turns out that Paris stood out, gained the approval of the king, became a prince again, and caused wars, but it is not clear whether this was secretly helped by the gods.

Pei Ziyun looked at Prince Ifubos and laughed secretly in his heart.

At this time, a cow was brought to the ring, and this bull was shining brightly, and it was brought from the herd of Mount Ita, and this bull happened to be bred and loved by Paris, but it could not prevent the owner and the king from taking it away, and now, it was just right to take it back.

Don't underestimate the value of a cow, even if the king sacrifices to the gods, there is generally only one cow, and the minor gods can only enjoy the treatment of a sheep and a pig, and some weak city-states will even have conflicts over a bull!

This is the prize of the competition, which is very rich, which can stimulate the players' performance to the greatest extent and make the competition enter the white-hot stage at the beginning.

At this time, Prince Ifubos, who was in the same group as Pei Ziyun, lowered his voice and spoke: "You lowly shepherd, why do you dare to stand side by side with me?"

Pei Ziyun pointed to the newly worn laurel and olive branch garland, and said slowly: "Because the gods like the first place, and I am the first place in the race!"

Prince Ifubos blushed and unconsciously touched his bow, and at that moment the tall and strong Hector came, causing everyone to cheer.

"Hector, Hector!"

Hector was the bravest, most powerful, and best archery of all the sons of King Priam, and his past experiences proved to everyone that he was a worthy hero.

Pei Ziyun looked over, and with just one glance, his heart couldn't help sinking.

Hector in front of him, with a giant-like figure, not to mention, the blood rolling inside seemed to flow like mercury, and the huge power flowed, giving Pei Ziyun a heavy sense of oppression.

"This is the bloodline of the gods? it is even stronger than cultivating a Daoist for a lifetime, and I am no match at all now. Pei Ziyun thought secretly: "However, I will win, because God does not allow Paris to fail." ”

The archery competition soon began.

Compared to the 200-meter race, which was a feast for the common people, archery was undoubtedly more popular with the aristocracy. This sport is also considered an aristocratic sport of this era, and it is impossible for ordinary civilians to have the financial resources to train excellent archers.

At this time, the entire archery arena was full, and even the king and queen arrived at the competition site, and they sat down on the high platform.

Pei Ziyun glanced at the king and queen on the high platform, and he already had a plan in his heart.

I saw Pei Ziyun calm down, and a familiar feeling instantly hit his heart, Paris was originally an excellent archer, and now he has inherited all his memories, plus his understanding of bows and arrows, he strives for perfection, and his archery skills have reached a higher level.

"Shoot—begin!" said the starter.

"Puff puff. "Prince Ifubos shoots arrows with his bow in hand, one after the other, without stagnation in between, apparently as a result of long training.

"Seven Rings!"

"Eight Rings!"

Ten arrows in a row, are seven or eight rings, this is a very good result, usually enough to beat many excellent archers, you know, the results of modern Olympic archers are just like this, this is 7 billion people selected!

Prince Ifubos was proud of his achievements.

Pei Ziyun sneered, pulled out the arrow, bent the bow and the arrow, and shot the arrow, only to hear the sharp whistling, and the arrow rushed to the target.

"Ten rings. ”

Before everyone could react, Pei Ziyun took the second arrow and shot it again, and in an instant, he swept by again and again, and shot it all out.

"Ten rings. ”

"It's the Ten Rings again. ”

"It's incredible. ”

Pei Ziyun shot ten arrows and ten rings, everyone in the arena stood up and applauded Paris, even King Priam's eyes lit up, they all stood up and asked, "Who is this?"

"Your Majesty, this is the son of your loyal servant Aguilaus. "Someone is reporting.

"Only the son of Agraos?" the king was disappointed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, he now inherits the profession of Agerras, and becomes a shepherd, grazing cattle and sheep for you. The soldier replied.

"The identity is too lowly!" The king originally wanted to recruit Pei Ziyun as the captain, but now that he thought about it, he decided to recruit him as his own personal soldier for the time being.

"After all, he is only the son of a court servant, although his archery skills are good, but his knowledge and vision are not enough to support him to become a captain, maybe he can be promoted to captain in the future. The king thought to himself, even if there was no myth, he was still very aware of the situation in his country.

Troy itself is fertile and rich in gold, and it also controls the Dardanelles, which is very important for transportation, and connects the Aegean and Black Seas.

This era is the Bronze Age, but bronze has a disadvantage that it is easy to rust, and if you plating a layer of tin on the surface of the bronze, you can solve this problem!

So tin is quite important in this era, it is an indispensable strategic material, and whoever lacks it cannot work and fight.

Tin needed to be pulled over the Black Sea in ships and had to pass through the Dardanelles, and Troy, which controlled the Dardanelles, could sit on the ground and divide the money, which aroused the envy and jealousy of many Greeks.

"I need more samurai to deal with the situation. The king thought gloomily that in order to maintain the prosperity of the kingdom, more samurai were needed, so the king took a fancy to this shepherd at first sight!

Not to mention, King Priam was not stupid, he also smelled bad breath from the gods!

At this time, the first round of archery competition was coming to an end, but Prince Ifubos didn't understand the king's mood, and another defeat made his face even more ugly, glaring at Pei Ziyun fiercely, looking at Pei Ziyun's smile, and eager to trample him under his feet: "This lowly shepherd dared to mix in the prince to compete and won a game." ”

The servants were all cautious at this time, fearing that they would lose the game, and found themselves angry, and Prince Ifubos was almost about to do it, but when he looked around the arena, he saw that it was full of people, all citizens and nobles, and looked towards the high platform, and found that the king and queen were also present.

Prince Ifubos, who was furious, slowly withdrew his hand, but his eyes were even more gloomy.
