Chapter 15: Trivia of Crete (I)

It must be said that the child's vitality is still very tenacious - after inhaling a little oxygen, King Minos's breathing became more and more steady, and his face gradually became more and more ruddy, not only did he no longer wheal in extreme pain as at the beginning, but even the spasms of his hands and feet stopped.

And as Minos's tightened brow slowly loosened, the Queen Mother's beating heart gradually calmed down - her son was really saved, and she almost wanted to jump up and shout, venting the joy and excitement in her heart...... But in order not to disturb the rescue of the Nile daughter and the "gods", the ecstatic queen mother had to continue to hold back, but her face still showed an extremely bright smile uncontrollably.

At the same time, seeing the little king turn the corner, and the queen mother smiling, the clumsy palace maids also breathed a sigh of relief—although there were no crocodiles on Crete, it seemed to be just as miserable to be cut a few times and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks

-- In the era of slavery in the West, the treatment of subordinate servants was extremely barbaric and cruel in the court of any country.

On the other hand, King Minos, who was lying in the arms of Carol, was also clung to his heart for a time with indescribable joy.

- For the first time, for the first time in my life, the unbearable torture left me so quickly. Although he was exhausted from tossing and turning before, and he just wanted to sleep at the moment, this young king, who had been sick since he was a child, tried to open his eyes, wanting to take another look at the beautiful golden figure, listen to the soft voice again, and feel the little hands that gently caressed his face...... Oh, this is the daughter of the Nile God, who, after praying to his mother countless times, finally came to mercy on him and came to save herself from drowning in agony?

Although he had imagined the face of the Nile's daughter countless times, when he saw Carrol's eyebrows and eyes, which seemed to be too beautiful to describe with pen and ink, and the dazzling gold that spread out like a waterfall, he still felt that all the beautiful words in his mind could not describe the beauty that shook the living beings at this moment.

He had too many words to say to this glittering lovely child, gentle and considerate big sister, and the long-awaited savior, but his body, which had already been overdrawn, made Minos completely fall asleep the next moment when he stretched out his hand to her with difficulty.

- Because the golden daughter of the Nile took up all the attention of the cocooned youth, he didn't even pay attention to the group of strangely dressed and strange-looking future time-travelers behind him until this point...... Especially the round blue-skinned cat-type machine.

However, Wang Qiu and Doraemon did not see themselves as spectators at all—just as Carol was holding the sleeping King Minos, relying on the help of the maids, to strip and wipe the sweat of the sick beautiful young man, and at the same time hum a lullaby for him. The travelers from the future looked at this dark and damp semi-underground palace with disgust, and unceremoniously turned many palace maids around.

“…… Extinguish all these oil lamps, we have electric lights here, and these two smoking bronze incense burners, and move them away, the air in this place is really bad, it has been so unventilated, and it has to smoke and burn fire, do you want to smoke bacon?"

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, it is to make the smell of this room more pleasant, that we have to light these finest oriental incense, and the flowers and plants in those clay pots, and so that His Majesty the King can feel the fragrance of the field from the bed......"

“…… In the absence of sunlight, plants do not photosynthesize to produce oxygen, but only produce carbon dioxide through guò respiration, which makes the air even more turbid...... Forget it, even if you don't understand it, in short, it won't do any good to put plants in the basement. Now they are all moved outside, and these animals have never been heard of being convalescent in a zoo cage."

“…… Alas, the corners of the walls are moldy, is this place some kind of old and broken ship's bilge? I am afraid that the movement of cutting the wall and opening the window will be too big to affect the patient's rest...... Doraemon hurry up and get a few [air cans] out and give this cave a fresh air."

“…… Wait a minute, I've got to install a dehumidifier in this room first, the damn humidity makes me feel like I'm about to rust Well, okay, what kind of [canned air] do you want? Hawaiian beaches, the Alps, redwood forests, or the Arctic ice sea? ”

“…… Huh? This is the potion you give to the king every day? It feels suspicious, take a spoonful and test it for me... Oh my God, according to the results of my laboratory analysis, where is this kind of cure, it is a chronic poison at all, and we came in time, if we continue to eat it for dozens of days, let alone a sick seedling like the king of your country, even a stick boy who is as strong as an ox will have to be administered to death

What the? Not convinced? Then I'll take a guinea pig (which suddenly stops and glances at the cat...... Uh, no, let's take a little bird and pour this potion down to try it, and sure enough, it's overturned, how the hell are you tossing and poisoning the king you serve?

Well? This potion was asked for from the temple, and the king was fine for several years, but it has been gradually starting to work lately? There must be a problem with the person who makes the medicine or the person who takes the medicine, so you'd better check it. But before that, the medicine must be stopped immediately."

For this reason, Wang Qiu's "Book of Traveling" has one more line of words: "...... Uncover the Mycenaean Spy's poisoning plot and earn 156 bonus points. ”

(Original plot: The Mycenaeans of the Greek Peninsula have always wanted to seize the maritime supremacy of Crete, so they sent spies to infiltrate the city of Knossos to seek the position of priest, and mixed the medicine of the king of Minos with chronic poison in an attempt to make the thin royal family extinct, so as to lead the island's political zhì, disintegrate the powerful fleet on the island, and pave the way for the Mycenaean army to cross the sea invasion...... It's a pity that he was disrupted by Carol, and the director fell short.

In true history, it was indeed the powerful Mycenaeans who ended the maritime supremacy of Crete and dealt a fatal blow to the oldest maritime civilization of mankind, but that was two hundred years later. The Mycenaeans in the XIV century BC did not yet have such strength. ）

“…… Huh? Wine and oysters? You're actually giving him this? Don't you know that asthma patients are most taboo about alcohol and seafood? And it's still a raw seashell, not to mention allergies, can he digest this thing with his weak stomach that has been bedridden all year round? ”

“…… Belch? So what should you give your king to eat? Wait a minute, Doraemon, lend me your "Encyclopedia of the Universe" to look it up, well, I'll take a look...... Dietary Recipes for Asthma Patients...... Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, avoid alcohol and seafood...... The specific meals are: stewed chicken with grapefruit, cold tomatoes, perilla porridge, brown sugar pumpkin soup? Well, in the Mediterranean world these days, there is neither sugar, nor pumpkin, nor tomatoes. It seems that we can only use the [universal delivery phone] or the [era vending machine] to order.

Then, the drinks that are suitable for asthma sufferers are...... Winter melon tea, watermelon juice and fig juice? Winter melon tea is naturally bought in the modern world, figs and watermelons are a lot here, but, just in case, buy a manual juicer with a filter, the people here are really unhygienic, if they are allowed to squeeze juice, God knows what kind of bacteria-rich dirty stuff will be mixed in......"

All in all, when King Minos, who had recovered his breath, finally opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that his semi-underground dormitory had become completely new. More than a dozen never-before-seen bright lights illuminate the perennially dark temple; The turbid air, which is usually damp and dreary, and which cannot be concealed even by lighting incense, suddenly becomes refreshing and pleasant, and vaguely seems to be filled with the sweet smell of tropical fruits......

What excited the young man the most was that the legendary golden-eyed, stunningly beautiful daughter of the Nile, was sitting on the edge of the bed, giving herself an unusually gentle smile, and then using a wooden spoon to bring a spoonful of colorful things to her lips.

“… You're awake, Minos. Eat this while it's hot, it's good for your body."

Although Minos is a very picky eater, he usually does not eat fruits, vegetables, meat, and rarely pasta, and only eats a little delicious fish and seafood (it can be seen that most of his illness is due to eating), if it were usual, I am afraid that he would have turned over and ignored it a long time ago...... But in front of the golden girl's healing smile, he still involuntarily opened his mouth and swallowed the diced sweet-boiled fruit in the spoon.

Well, the taste is warm and sweet, and it seems to be a dessert stewed with honey and fruit...... Minos smacked his lips, feeling that the warm fruit did not seem to be unpalatable, and at the same time noticed that beside the daughter of the Nile, there was a huge black lacquer tray, which was filled with dozens of small plates and bowls containing food, whether it was food or utensils, each of them was so delicate and lovely, even as he had never seen it as a king.

What surprised him even more was that it was the ...... who was holding his head against this large tray What is it?

It wasn't until this time that King Minos, who was awake to his later senses, noticed Doraemon's round and stocky body.

“…… Huh? What kind of strange animal is this? Are the Nile Daughters your prey in the Celestial Realm? ”

“…… It's really rude, I'm not a wild animal, my name is Doraemon, I'm a cat-type machine, remember it."

“…… God, this animal can actually speak, uh, you say you're a cat? But where are your ears? ”

--Doraemon was inadvertently poked in the sore spot by King Minos, and he was in a rage for a while......
