Chapter 111: Conversation 1
A grand banquet was held in the royal palace.
The musicians are playing smooth music in a daze, the clowns are entertaining others, and the nobles are dressed in gorgeous clothes and are staggering.
It was in this environment that William met the host of the banquet, the ruler of the Kingdom of Bucharest, Krosso Asclepios.
He was dressed in a white silk robe, he looked a certain age, his beard was white, and the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, but his body was tough, and his eyes still flashed with wisdom from time to time.
Seeing William, Croso Asclepios smiled heartily, opened his hands, and hugged William.
"Welcome, heroes from afar!"
Although William was a little disgusted in his heart, he also reciprocated with a decent and calm smile on his face, "Dear Your Majesty, I am grateful for your enthusiasm, and you have made me feel that coming to your country is the most correct thing I have done in my life. ”
"It's also my luck to meet such a strong person as you!"
The two separated, and Krosso Asclepios said with a smile.
William smiled politely.
Krosel Asclepios's performance immediately attracted the secret attention of the nobles at the banquet, and they all speculated in their hearts about William's identity, and he could win the king's favor in this way.
Krosso Asclepios greeted warmly, "Mr. Zorro, are you hungry?" ”
"My stomach is telling me it's time to eat!"
"Then don't treat it badly!" Krosso Asclepios immediately said, "I have everything you want to eat." ”
William disdainful, is there a lot of things made from my family's food table?
However, he still nodded at Krosso Asclepios, "Then I will thank His Majesty the King for his kindness." ”
Crosso Asclepioston asked his servants to bring over a variety of delicacies, "Mr. Rowe, try this dish...... But we've got a specialty here! ”
"Then I'm really going to have a good taste......" The magic mirror had already detected that there was no problem with the food, and William naturally continued to be vain.
A banquet is a feast for both guests and hosts.
In a few hours, the prosperity is over!
William's face was slightly red, his eyes were a little drunk and confused, and he followed Krosso Asclepios to the backyard of the palace.
An ordinary-looking and average-looking squire brought over two servings of steaming black tea, and then stood faithfully beside the king.
William's eyes rolled thoughtfully, and he asked, "Your Majesty, nothing can hide from your eyes. But forgive the infinite curiosity in my heart, how did you know that I was coming? ”
William wanted to know what this Krosso Asclepios knew and to what extent he knew about his situation.
This has always made William uneasy!
Who knew that Krosso Asclepios smiled incomprehensibly and said, "It was the wind that told me. ”
"Wind?"
"Yes. The wind will bring information from afar! Listen carefully and you will be able to hear the words of the wind. Krosso Asclepios smiled with a spring breeze on his face.
"I don't have what you do, Your Majesty!" William laughed dryly, but secretly cursed in his heart, "Old fox." ”
At this time, Krosel Asclepios did not want to dwell on this topic, and took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Zorro, I have a small question, I wonder if you can solve it for me?" ”
"Please, Your Majesty."
"A few months ago, Mr. Luo, weren't you in the Tatarya Alliance? What brought you to my kingdom? ”
"Your Majesty, didn't the wind tell you the answer?" William replied, half tentatively, half mockingly.
"It's a pity! Feng'er only told me about your arrival, but Feng'er couldn't guess your thoughts! Krosso Asclepios looked at William with a serious look on his face and said.
William almost believed this sincere expression.
He sneered inwardly, his face calm as usual, and said, "Oh, that's right. ”
William's heart suddenly moved, and he took the opportunity to say his purpose, "Your Majesty, in fact, I have come to find a treasure. ”
"What treasure?"
"Golden apple!"
"Golden apples?" A look of surprise flashed in Krosel Asclepios' eyes.
"Yes. Your Majesty, there is no more learned person in this country than you, do you know the whereabouts of this treasure? I would be grateful! William asked, with a wink.
"This is a mythical treasure, long before the arrival of the Lord of Light!" Krosso Asclepios gave William a meaningful look and said.
"Yes! Hear it is! William nodded.
"It's a bad thing. In myths and legends, the golden apple once led to a dispute between the three goddesses and even caused a war! ”
"There is such a thing?" William pretended to be shocked and said.
Cloisol Asclepios, who had William's expression in his eyes, smiled slightly smugly and said, "It was the wedding banquet of a human hero and a goddess of the sea. Many gods were invited, but only one goddess, Eris, who ruled over the dispute, was not invited! ”
"The great Eris felt offended, so he came uninvited, and without saying a word, left a golden apple at the wedding feast, and on it was written to the most beautiful goddess!"
"At that time, the three goddesses of the highest rank and the most beautiful, Hera, the mother of the gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, were all quarreling over this."
"Zeus, the king of the gods, left a prince of earth to judge."
"The prince finally chose Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, because this goddess of love promised this prince the most beautiful woman in the world."
"The seeds of tragedy were planted here!"
"Hera and Athena are very angry and determined to destroy Troy, the city where the prince is located!"
"This is how a protracted war began."
Krosso Asclepios spoke in a voice that was smooth and infectious, and as William listened to his words, it seemed as if a feast of the gods had appeared before his eyes.
"Ah, mighty Zorro, such an ominous thing, would you still like to continue to look for it?" Krosso Asclepios said at the end and asked William.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is always something to pursue! Otherwise, life is empty, and there is no meaning in life! William bowed to the nobility.
"Alive? Significance? Mr. Zorro, your understanding of life has surprised me, an old man who is about to leave for the arms of the Lord of Light! Krosso Asclepios looked thoughtful.
