Chapter 146: The Three Old Grandmothers in the Temple
"My Queen, after the council begins, you let everyone wait for me first, and I will go and go back.
I will not return, and I will not allow any of the parliamentarians and Spartan generals to leave.
Let me say that this is the will of me, the king of Sparta.
Those who dare to disobey will be beheaded directly. Lake then turned to the queen beside him.
After ten years of reign and selling the God of War's Blessing Potion, Lake's identity in Sparta and even in many nearby neighboring countries has become comparable to that of the Grim Reaper.
Lake's implementation is the rule of power, so that the entire Spartan country has only his voice, the Spartan parliament, after the three thousand Spartan elite warrior corps established by Lake has been cultivated, has become a nullity, and the parliamentarians do not dare to refute the Spartan king in the parliament, let alone push the Spartan king, the demon king of the world.
In Sparta, those who did not listen to Lake's orders were severely injured at least and beheaded at worst.
After announcing this, Lake asked the two Spartan warriors to drive a chariot and pulled him quickly in the direction of the temple in the mountains.
After all, in order to start a war with the supposedly million-strong invaders led by the Persian king Xerxes, the ritual of the temple gods sending down the oracles must be carried out.
Lake soon came to the bottom of the mountain, and this time he climbed the mountain quickly, and it took less than half an hour to reach the temple on the top of the mountain.
The three ugly elders in the temple trembled unconsciously when they saw that Lake, the ruthless Spartan king, was coming again.
In the past few years, Lake has come to visit these three ugly elders every time there is nothing to do during the New Year's holidays to see if they are well-behaved.
After all, Lake sells fake medicines with the aura of a god outside, so he can't come here often.
When the God of War Blessing Potion couldn't sell before, Lake also asked the three temple elders in this temple to promote him.
And Lake knew that these three elders liked to use beautiful women to sacrifice to the gods and keep them for their own use, as early as a few years ago, Lake was specially very considerate and sent them to the temple on the top of the mountain, three strong single grandmothers who had been training in the Queen's Female Soldier Legion for several years.
According to the laws of Sparta, the grandmothers had already been married, and under normal circumstances they could not remarry, and they had been widowed for decades.
Before Lake sent the three grandmothers to the temple on the top of the mountain, he asked the three grandmothers what they meant.
Lake formally asked the three grandmothers, "If a man wants them, will they accept it without violating Spartan law?" ”
After the three grandmothers heard the words of the Spartan king, and confirmed that the Spartan king was not joking, their eyes lit green, "As long as it is a man and a living person." The three grandmothers replied in unison.
Then Lake sent the three grandmothers to the temple.
At that time, the three elders in the temple were very happy when they heard that Lake was going to send them beautiful women to serve them, and they thought that the second king of Sparta had finally figured it out.
But when Lake brought in three strong, wrinkled grandmothers, all three of them wanted to cry when they saw it.
According to the words of the King of Sparta, these three grandmothers, decades ago, were all beautiful women.
Today, after Lake walked into the temple, the three grandmothers immediately stepped forward to warmly entertain Lake and serve him tea and a seat.
Ever since the three strong grandmothers moved into the temple, the three temple elders had come to an end in their good days.
After all the private money was handed over to the grandmother, it was then transferred to the king of Sparta, not to mention the three temple elders whose bodies could not beat the three grandmothers.
The grandmother's wielding of kitchen knives and sticks is so skillful, and she is also very thief.
The three elders later relented, anyway, they were priests, their lives were very long, and they were ready to endure humiliation for ten or twenty years, and they would be free after the three grandmothers were killed.
It wasn't until one day, after the three temple elders asked an old woman on the side, that they sadly learned that the martial arts of these three old women were trained by the Queen of Sparta.
And they are not the most powerful, the queen has hundreds of people from seven to sixty years old, even like them, there are more than ten people.
On that day, when the three elders in the temple heard the news, they were all completely desperate, the evil of the second Venerable King of Sparta.
Even if these three old grandmothers fall down and die, the second venerable will definitely be able to send three, or even thirty new old grandmothers, the second venerable will definitely do this.
That night, the three elders of the temple knelt in front of the statue with tears in their eyes, and they all thought of committing suicide, but then they couldn't bear to do it to themselves.
"Respect the great King of Sparta, His Holiness the Two, why are you here again." An elder asked Lake timidly, and it was no good for Lake to come every time.
Before Lake could speak, an old woman standing beside Lake who was pouring tea turned her head and glared, "Venerable No. 2 has come to visit you, can't you!"
He has come to see you, and it is your glory.
I'm a little reluctant to listen to what you mean! Isn't it itchy skin, I'll give you a massage at night! ”
The temple elder who had just spoken heard the old woman's words and retreated in fright.
This grandmother's massage is so terrifying, the bones can almost be crushed, and I can't get out of bed for several days after pressing it.
If it weren't for the special priesthood system, he would have died once or twice.
"How dare you, I mean, honorable king of Sparta, you are busy with all your busy schedule, come to the temple, what else do you command!" The elder quickly explained, and the two elders behind him also nodded.
Lake looked at the temple elder who had been trained for several years and had become much more pleasing to the eye, and he said loudly: "Xerxes, the king of Persia, is leading an army of millions to invade our Greece.
His envoys have just come to our kingdom of Sparta to persuade me to surrender, but they have been killed by me and my men.
I need you to communicate with the gods and send down the greatest oracle, the kind that the whole of Greece will receive.
As the king of Sparta, I will personally lead my troops to resist the evil invaders of the Persian army, and I will defend the people of Sparta and the land and homeland of Greece to the death. ”
Hearing that the million-strong Persian army was about to invade Greece, the three elders and the old lady in the temple were all shocked.
As for the second venerable king of Sparta, the killing of the envoys of the Persian king Xerxes, to the ears of the three elders, it was normal.
The Second Venerable definitely did this, and it was already the mercy of the king of Sparta that he did not kill the envoys who persuaded him to surrender to death.
The three elders in the temple looked at each other and made eye contact, thinking to themselves that the gods from above had finally answered their prayers and sent a Persian army to destroy the second venerable demon king of the Spartan world.
Nine years ago, the second venerable, the king of Sparta, who had just succeeded to the throne, organized a collection of gold, saying that it was to make a pure gold statue of Odin, the god of war.
Nine years have passed, and the gold coins raised have been spent by Venerable No. 2 to expand his army.
As for the shadow of the statue of pure gold Odin, I have not seen it.
Five years ago, Venerable No. 2 just made a gilded statue of Odin and placed it in the temple.
Organization 2 also prayed decently in front of the statue of Odin, saying that Sparta was too poor to make a pure gold statue, and hoped that the god king Odin would understand and bless him.
When Sparta becomes rich and strong, a huge statue of Odin pure gold must be built in the temple.
The three elders in the temple were forced by the obscenity of the Second Venerable, and they did not dare to brag about him.
The three temple elders, at Reker's urging, began to pray to the gods of the heavens.
After more than ten minutes, the complicated prayer ceremony was completed, and one of the elders raised his head and tried to say to the second Venerable King of Sparta: "Honorable King of Sparta, the gods have sent down oracles, and it has recently been the festival of the Greek gods. During the festival of the gods, all conquests are forbidden---" The temple elder wanted to continue.
"Smack!" With a bang, Lake pulled out the long knife that was still bloody after killing the leader of the messenger group on his waist, and slapped it directly on the small wooden table in front of him.
"I'll give you one more chance to re-comprehend the oracle and organize the language.
Remember, you have wasted once, you only have one last chance to grasp the will of the gods, this time you must interpret it well, and you can't misinterpret it again! Ryker looked fierce and looked at the three temple elders with a wicked smile.
The three grandmothers also came over, pinching their waists and looking at the three temple elders, anyway, they all lived so old and had nothing to fear.
Moreover, the second Venerable King of Sparta gave them sexual blessings and high status in their old age.
The three grandmothers pointed to the three temple elders and said, "Quick, read carefully!" ”
"Yes, there are actually no three elders in the temple, if you interpret it wrongly, there may be one or two elders left in the temple in the future."
"Concentrate on the oracle!"
Seeing the Spartan king's long knife slapped on the small table, still bloody, this frightened the three temple elders.
The kings of other small countries did not dare, with the character and temper of the second venerable king of Sparta, he really did the thing of killing one or two elders.
The three elders regretted it too much, how could they build the temple in the territory of Sparta in the first place, and it was so close to the capital of Sparta, this is a sin.
The three elders studied each other, and one of the elders spoke up again: "The gods have sent down oracles, and it has been the festival of the gods recently, and the Persian army has invaded Greece at this time, which is disrespectful to the gods.
Sparta, as well as many small Greek nations, were to wage holy war against the Persian invaders under the guidance of the gods. ”
After saying this, the temple elder also looked at the second Venerable to see if he was satisfied, which means, if you are not satisfied, I will understand and reinterpret it.
"May the gods bless us, and we will repel the wicked armies of Persia." Lake nodded.
"You immediately issue an oracle, I will go back first, and I will send troops to defend the temple in the near future, so that the temple will not be disturbed by the flames of war." After Lake finished speaking, he asked the three elders to get an oracle, and he went down the mountain quickly.
