However, looking at these houses, Pelius remembered another thing, and couldn't help asking: "Macaon, there is another very important thing, where do we live when so many of us come here?"

"I've had some thatched huts set up behind the tribe, but of course, there aren't enough of them. Makaon shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "The rest of the people have to live in the warehouse first." ”

"It's okay, just have a place to sleep. Hearing that everyone had a place to sleep, Peleus was relieved.

As long as there is a shelter from the wind and rain, after all, the weather in early spring is not so warm, and with the light rain that falls from time to time, you will get sick if you are not careful. It doesn't matter if the conditions are good or not, it's just a temporary residence anyway.

Macaon led Peleus and his party into the tribe, and then immediately arranged for the people to settle the people who had come from afar, while he himself led Peleus's family towards his home.

In the middle of the tribe, there is the tallest stone house, which covers an area several times the size of the surrounding houses, and is a rare three-story building.

At this time, most of the houses were built of stone, and usually one floor was about the same, except for the kind of watchtowers used by guards, which would be particularly high, and there were almost no three-story houses like the Makaeng's.

Macaon waved the guards to retreat, then went up and opened the door, inviting the Peleus family in.

When I entered the door, I saw a huge living room, with a gray woolen blanket on the floor, and a huge rectangular wooden table in the middle, which could seat twenty or thirty people, draped in a red tablecloth, and a few oil lamps on it.

"How's that, it's not bad, right?"

Seeing Peleus and Achilles looking around, Macaon couldn't help but smile proudly, compared to Peleus's family, it was simply the difference between a rich man and a poor man.

"I didn't think you'd be able to enjoy it. Peleus complimented, and then pretended not to care, and said, "Is it okay to live alone in such a big house?"

As if a slap was thrown in the face, Makaang's face collapsed in an instant.

Although Makaeon was a skilled doctor and saved countless people throughout his life, and his family wealth was also noble, he had no children, no daughters, and no wife, only a younger brother whom he had not seen for many years.

Maka glared at Peleus angrily, walked over and pointed to the houses behind the living room and said, "Here is the kitchen, here is the bathroom, here is the dining room, upstairs is the bedroom, and the top is the utility room." Alright, I'm done, and I'll take my leave, Queen. ”

As he spoke, Macaon bowed to Thetis, and hurried out.

Peleus hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and exclaimed, "I'm just kidding, can't you see it at your age?"

Macaon tugged at his sleeve hard, but Peleus was too strong to break free at all, so he said helplessly: "I'm not angry, okay, it's just that there are so many things outside, I always have to deal with it." ”

"What else could it be?, this is your house, and you left the guests behind, your house is so big, what if we get lost??" Peleus was not prepared to accept Macaon's lame reason.

"Okay, okay, then I'll show you around. Makaon said helplessly, what can he do with such a king? He can't beat it, he can't run away, he is also desperate!

"That's right. Peleus laughed as he loosened Macaan's sleeve.

Macaon led the three of them upstairs, and there were two rooms on the second floor, one large and one small.

Makaon pointed to the large room and said, "This one is the bedroom of you and the queen of Peleus, and the small one on the other side is the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

After speaking, Makaon looked at the third floor and said, "There are two rooms above, one is a guest room and the other is a sundries, all of which have been cleaned up, and there is nothing, so I won't go up to see it." ”

"Wait a minute, Mr. Macaon, where is your bedroom?"

Thetis listened silently to what Makaon said next to her, and couldn't help but ask strangely, this is Makaon's home.

Hearing Thetis speak, Macaon immediately turned to salute, and then spoke, "Your Excellency Queen, there is no bedroom for me here, and I have moved to the next house since I came back last time. ”

"I'm sorry to trouble you. Hearing that he had already moved out because of Peleus's arrival, Thetis was a little embarrassed.

"Ah, don't say that, Your Majesty, it's already a great honor for me to come and live in my house, I ......"

"Alright, okay, Macaon, don't be so nervous. Seeing that Macaon seemed to be about to babble, Peleus immediately stopped him, "Thetis and others...... It's all different, you don't have to be so polite. ”

As he spoke, Peleus turned his face to Thetis and smiled, "You say yes, my dear." ”

Thetis smiled at Macaon and said, "Peleus is right, Mr. Macaon, you don't have to be too restrained. ”

Macaon nodded at once, and was about to say something thankful, but remembered that Thetis had told him not to be restrained, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.

After being stunned for two seconds, Makaon spoke: "That's pretty much what it looks like here, and in addition, someone will bring you three meals a day in the future, so you don't have to bother cooking." ”

"Excuse me. Still smiling, Thetis thanked Macaon.

"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. Makaon replied at once, and then said to Peleus, "Peleus, there is indeed something going on outside, and if I am not afraid that they will get dizzy, I will have to help." ”

"Okay, then you can get busy first. This time Peleus didn't hold back, he also knew that what Markaon said was right, and it was up to Menotios to deal with a thousand mouths, and he still needed Macaon's help.

"Then I will retire first, Queen, may I ...... You're in a good mood. With that, Makaon walked downstairs, and he wanted to say "May the gods bless you", but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was not right, so he immediately changed his words.

Thetis smiled and nodded, but did not speak, but Achilles stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Macaon, do you know where Uncle Menotios' family is staying temporarily?"

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, but someone else's residence will not be arranged until the afternoon. Makaon touched the back of his gray head and said apologetically, "Well, I'll tell you as soon as it's arranged." ”

"Then I'm sorry for you. Achilles nodded, not politely to him.

Originally, he wanted to go to little Pat, but now he didn't even know where little Pat was, so he had to wait until the afternoon.

Macaon nodded, and continued downstairs, with Peleus and Thetis following him out.

When Macaon went out, Thetis said to Peleus, "Look at you, where you look like a king, you have to rely on others for everything." ”

"What can I do?" said Peleus, innocently stalling, "you know I'm not doing this at all. ”

"In any case, you are a king after all, and it is good to go out and stand, otherwise others will say that you are a king and know how to enjoy happiness. But Thetis did not listen to his quibbles, and forced Peleus to go out and brush up on his presence.

"Okay, okay, I'll just go. Peleus shook his head helplessly, and was just about to go out when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

"Who?" asked Pelius, raising his voice, not to mention, as far as he was standing a little from the door.

"Your Majesty, Otto Meton has something to see!" Ottometon's voice came from outside the door, and Peleus immediately walked over and opened the door.

Peleus opened the door and saw Otto Medon standing at the foot of the steps, and couldn't help asking, "Otto Mdon, is there anything wrong with you?"

"Your Majesty, the messenger who went to Salamis a few days ago to deliver a message has returned. ”

"Oh, so fast?"

Pelius was also a little surprised, the island of Salamis was still quite far from Thesalia, and it was impossible for an ordinary horse to run back and forth for three days and three nights.

"Where is he now?"

"Just outside the courtyard, Your Majesty. ”

"Let him come, I'm going to ask him personally. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Otto Medon walked out of the courtyard and brought in the messenger who had just arrived in Thesalia.

The messenger was about to salute when a anxious Peleus immediately stopped him.

"When did you arrive at Salamis Island?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it was yesterday morning. ”

Two days from his original village to Thesalia was normal, but the rest of the year was very unusual.

Peleus felt even more strange, "The island of Salamis is so far away from our Thesalia, how did you come back for a day and a night?"

The messenger scratched the back of his head a little strangely, and said, "I don't know, Your Majesty. ”

"So, tell me the details of your journey to Salamis Island. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The messenger answered, thought for a moment, and then began to speak.

"When I arrived on the island of Salamis, I went to their king, and when I gave the letter to King Telamon, he opened it and read it, and he said that he would give me a banquet, but I refused because I was anxious to return. ”

"And then?"

"Just as I was about to leave, King Telamon said he wanted me to bring you a word. ”

Peleus perked up, "What words?"

King Telamon said that he would leave for Thessalia at once. ”

What is it that is so anxious? Pelius thought about it for a while and felt that he still couldn't think of it, so he simply didn't want to, anyway, he would know when Telamon came over in a few days.

"And then?"

"When I set out to come back, I passed by the temple of Delphi at noon, so I went in to pray. The messenger thought for a moment and said, "As I am anxious to return to you, I pray to the god Apollo that I hope to return soon." ”
