Chapter 160: Aegeus's Decision
The two sides look at each other.,This seems to be a little different from the painting style they imagined?
Shouldn't you scold it, threaten it again, and walk away?
"Everyone, sit down, the food in the royal palace of Athens tastes good. ”
Aegeus beckoned the crowd to sit down, and the mood of the Gentiles and the ministers was very different.
The Gentile heroes found only the King of Athens amiable and approachable, while the ministers looked confused.
Aegeus instructed the maids to bring the carefully prepared delicacies, and then return to their thrones, as if they had really invited them to a meal.
The Gentile heroes were relieved and feasted on their food while praising the warmth and generosity of the king of Athens.
Even though it was a morning meal, it was actually almost noon.
Aegeus had a large dish he had prepared brought to him.
A large, golden roasted bull that required four guards to lift.
Adult bulls like this are one of the most important tools for plowing and growing wheat and are generally not easily slaughtered.
Adult bulls were used only when worshipping the god-king, and even the Athenians only used calves to worship the goddess Athena.
Aegeus walked down with his glass and a smile on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the most outstanding heroes of the land of Akkaya, and this is a gift I have specially prepared for you, please do not refuse. ”
In fact, the staple food of the people in the land of Achaea was barley bread, and not everyone could drink wine and eat meat at once.
Even in the barracks, most of the soldiers ate mutton, and beef was impossible.
Inviting someone to eat beef is the highest standard of hospitality.
The heroes were moved, thinking that when they returned, they must take good control of the people of their city-state and prevent them from causing trouble in the city of Athens.
Aegeus toasted the crowd and drank the wine, then went back to pick up his silver-handled knife.
Gesturing next to the huge roasted whole cow, Aegeus was a little embarrassed and said, "Heroes, my knife may not be able to cut, which hero is willing to lend me a weapon?"
"Use mine!"
"Use mine anyway!"
......
A group of people hurriedly handed over their weapons, such as big swords, heavy axes, and even blunt weapons such as big sticks.
Theseus, knowing that his time had come, stepped forward with his sword in his hand and said in a loud voice: "King Aegeus, my sword is unusually sharp, you will definitely be very comfortable holding it!"
It's for sure, this is the sword used by Aegeus.
Aegeus hurriedly reached out and took the sword.
When the crowd saw that he had taken his weapon, they had to retreat and sit down.
"Thank you, young man. ”
Aegeus thanked him as if he didn't know him, and then asked the maids to bring the water.
Since it's cutting meat, how can you do it without washing it?
Aegeus scrubbed the blade of the sword with his own hands, and suddenly let out an exclamation as he washed it.
"This ...... It's!"
The heroes who had just sat back stood up again, and the voice of Aegeus scared them a little.
The ministers of the kingdom also stood up, for fear that something would happen.
Aegeus looked excited, and suddenly walked quickly to Theseus and pulled at his sleeve.
"Young man, this sword is yours?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
"Where did you get this sword?"
"It was given to me by my mother, and it was left to me by my father. ”
"Who is your mother, what is her name, and where does your family live?"
"Your Majesty, my mother's name is Etra, and she lives in Trojan. ”
None of the people present were puzzled as to why the King of Athens would suddenly ask such a question to a stranger, but the next moment their jaws almost dropped.
Aegeus threw away the sword in his hand and gripped Theseus's arm tightly with both hands, looking very excited.
"Heroes from distant Trojan, young men who have come here from the city of Poseidon, you must have experienced many dangerous battles along the way, and this sword must have brought you glory. For I was also its master, and perhaps you would be surprised if I said that, but do not doubt that the king of Athens is your father!"
Aegeus's words were like a boulder smashed into a calm lake, stirring up a storm for a moment.
This kind of legendary story actually happened around them without warning?
When they came back to their senses, the heroes on the field immediately came up to congratulate Egers, and today Egyes and his son reunited, and they felt very honored as witnesses.
"What's your name, kid?"
Since you are doing a play, you have to do a full set.
"My name is Theseus, and are you really my father?"
"Of course, I swear to the goddess Athena, and I am not lying!"
Medea sat in the back, sneering in her heart, but on the surface she was smiling.
"Son, you must have encountered many dangers along the way from Trope to Athens, right?"
"Yes, Father. Theseus nodded.
"Along the way, I met Perifertus the Stickdancer, Sinis the Tree Thief, Kerkuon, and Damas, the Iron Bed Bandit, but I killed them all. ”
Theseus gloriously announced his achievements, but he frightened all the heroes present.
Every name he said was a famous thief in the land of Achaia, and even the robber Kerkuon, who was said to have a strength close to that of a god-tattooed hero, did not expect to die at the hands of this young man.
Aegeus was also very surprised, he originally asked casually, he never thought that Theseus would be so brave and amazing.
Aegeus was overjoyed, opened his arms and said loudly: "Heroes, I have something to say!"
The palace hall, which had been a bit noisy, suddenly fell silent.
"Today, the child I prayed to the goddess of fate finally came to me, and I was amazed at how brave and amazing he was!
The heroes of the Gentiles agreed with each other, no matter who was the king of Athens, it was impossible for them to be the Gentiles, and of course it was Aegeus who said whatever he wanted.
The faces of the ministers present were a little unpleasant.
Aegeus had a younger brother named Pallas, and had fifty sons, and Aegeus had no children for many years.
Many ministers had already decided to support Pallas's son as the future king of Athens, as it was no secret that Aegeus was not in good health.
The sons of Pallas were determined to take the throne, and they were not afraid of Medea or young Meadows, but now that King Aegus suddenly had a young and strong son, I am afraid they would not be able to sit still.
