Chapter 593: Queen Hippolyta
Pei Ziyun's warship sailed through the sea and stopped at the port of Themis Chira in the Amazon, where a horn sounded and a group of female warriors stood in the harbor with weapons in hand to greet them.
Pei Ziyun was wearing a white tunic with leather armor and a short sword, and he came down from the battleship with the urn of Queen Penthesilea, his face solemn.
As soon as he stepped off the battleship, a figure pounced on him and cried, "Sister!"
Pei Ziyun looked like Princess Hippolyta, and she cried very sadly.
"Princess Hippolyta, your sister Penthesilea has only returned to the arms of your father Ares, so you need not be too sad. Pei Ziyun's heart sank and said.
Hippolyta wiped tears from her face and said, "Prince Paris, thank you very much for sending your sister back, let's go to the palace." ”
Pei Ziyun nodded, didn't say much, got into the chariot with Hippolyta and went to the Amazon Palace, the Amazon Palace, as simple as the original, surrounded by more than a dozen low buildings, in the middle is a large garden, in the main hall of the palace, Hippolyta took Pei Ziyun inside, more than a dozen Amazon elders had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Pei Ziyun coming in with the urn of Queen Penthesilea, they all shouted, and their voices were sad.
"Queen. ”
"Queen. ”
Pei Ziyun was silent, waiting for them to recover, and then held a simple and grand handover ceremony, and solemnly handed over the urn in his hand to Hippolyta.
"It was I who failed to take care of her, and caused her to be murdered by Achilles, but I have sworn to your father, Ares, that I will avenge Queen Penthesilea. ”
"I have killed seven heroes to avenge her, and your father gave you your sister's armor and weapons, and I have sent them back with you. ”
In the hands of several of the servants, it was Penthesile's armor and weapons, which shone with a faint golden light in the hall, and several servants each held a tray of gold and bronze covered with white silk cloth.
"Queen Penthesirea helped Troy against the Greeks, and these gifts were given as a gesture of our little apology. Pei Ziyun said.
Hippolyta held her sister's urn, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her sister's voice and smile were still vivid.
At the end of all the handover ceremonies, an elder stood up: "Princess Hippolyta, the kingdom of the Amazon cannot be left without an owner for a day, I hope you can become our new queen." ”
With that, the elder knelt down and embraced Hippolyta as the new queen, while the other Amazonian elders and warrioresses all echoed in agreement.
Hippolyta is the daughter of Ares and the sister of Queen Penthesilea, and is the perfect candidate to become the new queen of the Amazons in every way, both as a god and as a king.
Hippolyta also knew this, did not postpone it, nodded, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely fulfill my sister's unfulfilled wish and lead our Amazon Kingdom to become stronger." ”
"Queen Hippolyta. "The people went to Hippolyta to meet the new queen, and the ceremonies of the city-state were not so cumbersome, and at this moment Hippolyta was enthroned.
"Historically, Penthesilea's bloodline has been greatly weakened by the death of Hippolyta, the death of Troy, and the death of his son Askafos. ”
"Now, at least the Amazonian bloodline remains. Pei Ziyun just thought about it, and listened to Hippolyta say: "I have already chosen a cemetery for my sister, which is in the sacred forest of my father's temple, so that she will always be by my father's side, you and I will go with me to bury my sister." ”
Pei Ziyun nodded, and went to the temple of Ares with Queen Hippolyta.
Temple of Ares Sacred Grove
The priest placed the urn of Queen Penthesilea in the cemetery that had been prepared long ago, raised his hands to the sky, and prayed silently.
The burial ceremony is simple and ends in less than a moment.
"Prince Paris, I want to continue to lead our Amazonian warriors to Troy against the Greeks and avenge my sister. Hippolyta turned around and said.
Hearing this, all the elders were in an uproar, Pei Ziyun saw this, waved his hand, and said categorically: "Amazon has lost a queen, and can not lose another queen, if you still want to take revenge, please ask the great Ares to give me this responsibility." ”
Pei Ziyun prevented Hippolyta from going to Troy to fight, and with the city-states and kingdoms involved in the war, the battle of Troy was now more chaotic than in previous years, and if you were not careful, you might be able to give your life there.
The power of the Amazon is not strong, and without it, it does not have much impact on Troy today.
And Pei Ziyun doesn't want the new queen of the Amazon to appear on the Trojan battlefield, in case of a mistake, Ares will have an opinion about himself.
"Queen Hippolyta, when the war between Troy and Greece now requires me to return to serve, I have sent it, and I will take my leave now. Seeing that the elders breathed a sigh of relief, Pei Ziyun didn't want to stay longer, he knew in his heart that the elders' thoughts were that the war between Troy and the Greeks had nothing to do with the Amazons, the original queen had already died in battle, and the new queen could no longer be dragged into the quagmire.
"I've already arranged a banquet for you, won't you stay and go after the banquet?" said Hippolyta, stunned.
"No, Queen Hippolyta, thank you very much for your grand hospitality, but the war in Troy is at a critical juncture, and I must hurry back as soon as possible. Pei Ziyun smiled slightly: "If I can survive such a battle, it will not be too late to come." ”
Queen Hippolyta looked at Pei Ziyun reluctantly, although she wanted him to stay, but she also knew that he was telling the truth, it was impossible for the Amazons to participate in the war again, and Troy urgently needed him to go back as soon as possible, so she didn't say anything to stay.
But she brought back Penthesile's weapons and armor, and said, "Take this, Prince Paris, for wearing it is tantamount to revenge on your father and sister themselves." ”
Pei Ziyun was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that after turning around, the armor and weapon returned to his hands.
However, this is a god's weapon after all, and wearing it on the body also greatly improves the combat power, Pei Ziyun did not refuse, and took over the armor and weapons in Hippolyta's hands.
"Queen Hippolyta, I'll take my leave. Then he saluted Hippolyta and was about to leave.
"I'll give you one. Hippolyta said.
Pei Ziyun did not refuse, and went out of the palace with Hippolyta and went to the port in a chariot.
Amazon Temis Skira Port
The chariot stopped, Pei Ziyun and Hippolyta got off the chariot, Pei Ziyun came to the Amazon, in fact, he only stayed for half a day, and this is still the handover ceremony It took a while.
"Paris, will you come to see me in the Amazon in the future?" asked Hippolyta expectantly.
"Queen Hippolyta, as long as the war is over, I will definitely come to visit you when I have the chance. Pei Ziyun said with a smile, he knew Hippolyta's intentions for him, but he was not a person from this world, and he would have to leave sooner or later, so he could only live up to Hippolyta's kindness.
Helen is because of the needs of the plot, otherwise, he would not have the leisure time to deal with these things, and now that he has been with them for a long time, his feelings have also been cultivated.
"Queen Hippolyta, precious. After Pei Ziyun finished speaking, he turned around and got on the ship.
"Paris, God will bless you for victory, and you must remember to come back and visit me!" Queen Hippolyta shouted after a few steps.
Pei Ziyun had already boarded the ship, and when he heard Hippolyta's words, he shook his head with a wry smile.
"Set sail. The order was given to set sail, and the ship left the port of Themis Chilla in the Amazon and headed for Troy.
As far as the eye can see, the waves crash against the side of the ship, and several seabirds are flying high above the ship.
Pei Ziyun looked at the sea from afar, and he never appreciated the vastness of the sea.
At this moment, a phantom appeared on the deck of the ship, and the sailors around her did not see her, and some even passed over her body without noticing.
The Phantom Lady walked up to Pei Ziyun and said, "Paris, you have a very good plan this time, and you have succeeded in killing so many Greek heroes under the noses of the gods. ”
The moment Pei Ziyun appeared in the Phantom Lady, the full-level priest felt that she also felt her breath.
But he didn't show anything unusual, and there was a look of surprise on his face at the sudden appearance of the Phantom Lady.
Pei Ziyun didn't turn around, looked at the sea in the distance, and said: "Dear lady, thank you for your compliment, this ploy is no longer possible, and there will never be such a good thing for me next time." ”
The Phantom Lady nodded, agreeing with Pei Ziyun's statement, it was impossible for the gods to let Paris kill so many Greek heroes at once.
She paused and said, "During the time you were away, there was a new development in the Trojan War. ”
"Achilles was insulted by Agamemnon and angrily withdrew from the war, while Aeneas of Troy, Hector, and Zeus's son Salpedon all took the opportunity to fight, and the Greeks suffered a serious defeat and were holding the last line of defense. ”
Pei Ziyun raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that in the past few months after he left, the Battle of Troy had progressed so much, according to him, all this was still arranged by Zeus, and the purpose was to force the humiliated Achilles to participate in the war.
He didn't speak, listening to the Phantom Lady.
And Agamemnon had yielded to Achilles, compensated the humiliated Achilles with a huge amount of wealth, and promised to marry his daughter to him. ”
Pei Ziyun didn't expect Agamemnon to be so reluctant, but thinking about it, the Greeks had been cornered, and there was no better choice than to ask Achilles to come out of the mountain.
But Achilles rejected Agamemnon anyway. ”
The Phantom Lady said an unexpected result, according to such a lucrative condition, Achilles has both face and substance, and he should not refuse, but in the end, he refused.
"Achilles is still too young and strong-blooded, which is too much. Pei Ziyun couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
