Chapter 798: The Fall of the Persian Mission
The buildings in Sparta are just like those in movies or games.
They were entirely columned, vaulted-like structures, and even the royal palace of Leonidas was no different.
Chen Yihan and the others did not have much effort to sneak into Leonidas's palace and hide on the roof of the palace.
They saw that the Persian mission they had encountered was still waiting at the gate of the palace. At this time, Leonidas remained in the backyard of the palace to train his son. The reason why it is said that this is a backyard and not a back garden is that there are no flowers at all, but a design similar to that of a sergeant training ground.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of Spartan men, flowers are not considered beautiful things at all, and in their eyes, strong muscles and unyielding will to fight are the most beautiful things.
"Brother Han, that man looks a little familiar?"
"That's right! He is the child you want to save, that is, Leonidas. Chen Yihan muttered in response.
"Leonidas? He's growing up so fast? When the cheap wolf heard Chen Yihan's answer, his eyes widened, and his mouth couldn't close a little.
"Idiot! He's just a character created by the main god, do you think he's just like you? Xiao Wan saw the surprised appearance of the cheap wolf, and her face showed a disdainful expression.
Instead of participating in their discussion, Leonidas kept an eye on Leonidas' training of his son.
He could see that Leonidas was indeed a master of martial arts. Not only that, but even his son is not extraordinary. If only his son could grow up and enter the main god space. That's going to be a master, too.
"Your Majesty, the Persian mission is still waiting for you outside."
When Leonidas finished training with his son, a beautiful woman in a revealing outfit with a graceful demeanor finally spoke. Chen Yihan knew that this woman was the queen of Leonidas.
"Really? Then let them wait a little longer! They came to me with the heads and crowns of the kings of the conquered nations. Do you expect me to give them courtesy? ”
"Your Majesty, then you should also go and meet them. After all, this is a matter between countries. ”
"Alright! Then I'll go meet them. As she spoke, Leonidas rose from the ground. At the same time, he put his hand on his son's head and stroked it gently. Just this one act can show his deep love for his son.
"Let's go! Let's go to the front, and wait for the following Oneidas to send the Persians home. ”
Chen Yihan said as he pointed to the center of the city. By this time, Leonidas had come out of the palace, and his queen was following him closely.
When Leonidas met with the Persians. Chen Yihan and the others moved to a building with a circular vault.
From afar, they saw a slight quarrel between Leonidas and the Persian envoys. Not only that, but they also saw that the origin of the quarrel was precisely because of the queen of Leonidas. After that, a Spartan councillor came out and said something. Leonidas strode with the Persian envoy to the sewers of the city.
"Brother Han, what are they doing here? Are they going to talk about state affairs here? ”
"Little bit, I just said it! Leonidas would send the Persians home. Don't you think it's more convenient for them to go from here than from somewhere else? ”
"Sewer ......," the wolf asked with a wink. turned his gaze to Leonidas.
At this time. Leonidas's eyes were looking around. It seems that the Persian envoy had made a request of Xerxes to him, and he was considering how to reply.
But the impatient Persian envoy did not wait for Leonidas's answer, and preemptively rapped his tongue to the side. As a result, all he received was Leonidas' contemptuous gaze and angry roar.
With such a move, Leonidas' hand rested on the waist of the captain of the guard and drew his saber. After that, he pressed his sword against the neck of the Persian messenger.
"Holy! What a hot king. I like it. The wolf shook his fist and shouted in a low voice.
"Idiot. Are you worried that the guards won't be able to catch us? When Xiao Wan raised her hand to pat the cheap wolf's head, the situation by the sewer had become more tense. In a matter of moments, Leonidas's guards forced all the Persian envoys to the edge of the sewers. At the same time, their swords were all pointed at the necks of the Persians.
"Crazy! You're crazy. When the Persian messenger saw Leonidas do this, he whispered as he stepped backwards.
Leonidas listened to the words of the Persian envoy with a look of disdain on his face. The sword in his hand continued forward, pushing the messenger backwards.
The Persian envoy clearly felt the threat of death, and his mouth trembled and whispered, "Leonidas, the two countries will not fight each other!" You—You can't kill me......"
"But don't you need earth and water? Behind you there is a got. ”
When the Persian messenger heard Leonidas's reply, he swallowed his spit downward. At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance behind him. That way, of course, he could see himself standing on the edge of the sewer.
"Leonida, you'd better think about what you're doing. Thou, thou shalt know that I am an envoy of Persia, an envoy of Xerxes, the king of kings, and that all those who disobey the will of Xerxes have become skeletons! The Persian envoy said excitedly as he raised the skull scepter in his hand. This was his symbol as an envoy to Persia.
Leonidas' contemptuous expression became a little heavier when he saw the Persian envoy do this, "That's all? You have brought these fallen heroes to my land, insulted my queen, threatened my subjects with death, and you still want my courtesy? ”
"I am a Persian envoy! Stupid guy, you, you watch out for your words......"
"Stupid? This is Sparta! Leonidas roared and lifted his feet. At the next second, the Persian emissary's body fell backwards and into the sewers. At the same time, the masked warriors who came with him were forced to the edge of the sewers by Leonidas's guards, and they all fell.
"Well done! It's a pity that the string of heads. The wolf said as he slammed his fist into his other hand.
"Little, don't worry! When we get to the hot springs, you'll get a lot of heads. But let's go with the lovely king to the temple. According to the custom of Sparta, the king had to go to the oracle if he wanted to go on an expedition. If the oracle didn't approve of them, then Leonidas would have to stay here. ”
As soon as Chen Yihan's words were finished, the cheap wolf rolled over. Then, he whispered to himself, "Brother Han, I bet that the next task given by the Lord God is related to the priests of the temple. ”
"Ding...... You have triggered the main quest: kill the priests of the temple and stop Leonidas from sending troops. Reward: 10,000 main god points; If the task fails, 10,000 main god points will be deducted; Those who are not enough in the main god points, obliterate! Do you accept the task? ”
"Holy! Crow's beak. Chen Yihan said as he slapped his hand the head of the cheap wolf.
Seeing Chen Yihan's annoyed appearance, the cheap wolf had no choice but to open his mouth and laugh helplessly. What he just said was just a casual remark, but who knew that things would turn out to be what he imagined?
"Cold, what are we going to do?" Lie and Xiaowan asked together.
"What to do? We can only accept this task! I'm not sure how many main quests will be waiting for us in the future. Chen Yihan said as he clicked OK on the task interface of the Order of the Main God.
"Shall we leave now, then?" Xiao Wan asked again.
"Of course!" Chen Yihan first replied in the affirmative, and then shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I only know that the temple is on a very high mountain. As for its exact location......" At this point, he looked at Leonidas's back, "Then only our lovely king knows." ”
"Brother Han, what should we do then? If that were the case, wouldn't we be able to kill them all before Leonidas saw the priests? The cheap wolf asked helplessly.
"Well, that's how it should be." Chen Yihan nodded in agreement, but his mind was running rapidly.
After only a moment, he asked tentatively, "What was the task we took just now?" The Lord God told us to kill the priests, so did he say when to kill them? ”
"Nope!" Xiao Wan and the three replied affirmatively.
When Chen Yihan heard them say this, he clenched his mouth and collided his palms and fists together.
"Cold, what's going on?" When Xiao Wan and the three of them saw Chen Yihan doing this, they all thought that they had made something important. In this way, their faces were replaced by nervous expressions at that time.
"Nothing! I think I've figured out what the Lord God means. Chen Yihan looked at the sky as he spoke, and then sighed lightly, "We were tricked by the Lord God!" He's just playing with us on words. ”
"Wordplay?" Xiao Wan's expressions became even more surprised.
"Yes! The first task he gave us was to kill the wolf. In fact, whether we make a move or not, the giant wolf will have to die. Let's just leave the last one to Leonidas. ”
Xiao Wan and the three of them nodded thoughtfully when they heard Chen Yihan say this.
When Chen Yihan saw it, he continued, "As for the second task, it's just that the Lord God wants to give us the opportunity to meet Leonidas. We can persuade Leonidas to pretend to accept the demands of the Persian mission, and then prepare to leave for Thermopylae. As for what happened later, I believe it won't deviate too much from the plot. ”
"Ahh Here's what happened. When Xiao Wan and the three of them heard this, their mouths opened wide and they couldn't close their mouths anymore. After a moment's hesitation, they tentatively asked, "What about now, what should we do?" (To be continued......)
