Chapter 43: The Leaders Gather

Thetis was a little tempted at first. When he was young, Zeus was handsome and dashing, high-powered, powerful, and noble-blooded, and there were few more perfect Prince Charming than him.

Although his fanatical pursuit frightened Thetis a little at first, but why wasn't it because of shyness? even though Zeus had already married two wives, it didn't matter to Thetis, or far less important than the ouster of his father.

However, what she didn't expect was that Zeus only came to see her and completely retreated without giving her any explanation.

For the first time in her life, Thetis felt disappointment. Until one day many years later, she met Peleus......

......

Seeing Thetis's silence, Zeus thought that she was still angry about what had happened.

"Thetis, maybe you're still blaming me......"

"You're thinking too much, Lord God-King. Thetis looked up at Zeus with a determined gaze, "Nothing in the past matters to me anymore. ”

Maybe she was sad for a long time, but for her now, there is nothing more important than family, and even if there is, it has nothing to do with Zeus.

Zeus was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered the girl who wore a scorpion tail and liked to blush at every turn for many years, the happy bride in a white dress on Mount Polion a few years ago.

Zeus let out a long sigh, and he could hear that Thetis was not lying.

"It's great that you think so. Zeus glanced at Theses with a complicated expression, to be honest, he does regret it a little now, but if he could go back in time, he would still make this choice.

He will not let go of anything that threatens his rule!

"In that case, I'll go first. Zeus put away all his thoughts, looked up at the blue sky, and stepped directly onto a white cloud.

This is the character of Zeus, once he decides not to take a souvenir anymore, he will not drag his feet.

Thetis bowed to Zeus's back, she had already figured it out. Even if she had to please Zeus for the sake of her son, she would not use this identity as a "first love" to approach him.

She already had a husband, and even if Peleus was not able to restrain her, she would not do anything that would disgrace Peleus.

In this respect, Thetis is different from most goddesses, even Aphrodite, the goddess of love, had adulteration with Ares behind her husband's back, Gaia, the mother of the earth, was also a lover of countless people, and even some of Zeus's wives were unfaithful to him.

But Thetis would never do that, she had once admired Selene's love the most, and now this love had been grasped by her, even more complete than Selene's. She would not allow anyone to destroy it, not even herself!

Zeus is gone, the blue sky gathers clouds, the leaves wither again, and the water forms ice. Everything was back to what it had been, and no one knew that the noble Lord of the Gods had visited this place not long ago, except for Thetis.

......

When Thetis returned to the place of worship, Peleus had already divided the beef, and the people took the fire from the large bonfire and lit dozens of stacks of wood that had been set up.

Although it was not yet dark, the eager people were already dancing around the bonfire, singing the praises of Zeus's kindness, Prometheus's bringing light to mortals, and Peleus's protection of their homeland.

People who didn't go to the dance sat around the campfire, eating roasted beef and mutton and drinking delicious wine, and talking to each other mostly wishing the country prosperity.

"Thetis, you're back. ”

The moment he saw Thetis appear, Peleus had already risen from the big campfire and ran towards her.

Shedding his armor, Peleus is no longer a victorious general on the battlefield who has torn the hearts of his enemies, nor is he a legendary adventurer with a great reputation, he is just an ordinary man who cares about his family and dotes on his wife.

Thetis smiled at Peleus, and when she saw that Su Muran was not by his side, she immediately asked, "Where did Achilles go? Didn't I ask him to come to you just now?"

"He just went to play with Patroclus. Peleus touched Theses' head, "Don't worry about that stinky boy, come and celebrate with us." ”

Theseis gave him a coquettish look, but did not refuse, took Peleus's arm and walked in the direction of the large campfire.

Seeing the king and his wife approaching, the people around the big bonfire stopped what they were doing or what they were talking about, stood up and saluted the two.

Peleus smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down, then took out a clean blanket and spread it around the fire for Thetis to cushion, and the attendants immediately brought food and wine, and began to familiarize themselves with the process of serving the king and queen in advance.

At this time, on the bank of the river, far away from the crowd, Su Muran was sitting on Ikaon's boat with the little lion in his arms, and Patroclus was playing with the little lion with a small branch, but the cold little lion was unwilling to pay attention to him now.

"Grandpa Ikaon, why don't you go and celebrate with the adults?" Su Muran looked at Ikaon and said strangely, this kind of "founding ceremony", Ikaon actually didn't go to celebrate with the people.

"Your Royal Highness, I would like to go too, but the king has given me a task, so I have to wait here. Ekaeon said he was sorry, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face. It was a great honor for him that Peleus could ask him to do things.

"Oh. Su Muran nodded as if he didn't understand, he didn't quite understand how Ikaon was so happy to do things for others.

Patroclus, who was next to him, suddenly sneezed and complained, "Achilles, why are you running here, it's so cold." ”

Su Muran spread out his hands and said that he was also helpless.

When he went to play with Little Pat just now, Little Pat said that he wanted to see the little lion, so Su Muran went back and took the sleeping little lion out to play.

As soon as he went out, the lion cub who left the warm nest was immediately awakened by freezing. It happened that Su Muran and Little Pat were sitting next to the bonfire at that time, and when they saw the little lion on the fire, they were like chicken blood, and they insisted on putting it into the fire.

If you jump into the fire, you will be able to pay it back! If you don't die, you have to shed your skin, and in desperation, Su Muran had no choice but to run to the place where there was no fire with the little lion, and then he followed Little Pat to the Ikaon boat.

Seeing that little Pat was a little cold, Ikaon immediately found a thick leather coat for him, and apologized: "I'm really sorry, this little boy, there is no fire on the ship, you can wear this coat to keep out the cold." ”

Little Pat blushed and respectfully reached out to take the clothes. "If only you could call me Little Pat. "He's never been called a little boy before, so I'm so embarrassed.

"How's that going to work, boy. Ikaon still insisted on being called so, and in his opinion he could be friends with a prince, and his family background must be extraordinary, he was from a poor family, so he was particularly interested in the dignity and humility of status.

Since Ikaon insisted, it had to be like this. Little Pat smiled at Ikaon, put on his thick coat, and picked up a dead branch to tease the lion cub. However, the little lion's big blue eyes refused to look at him more, and he said "whooping" impatiently, and then drilled into Su Muran's arms one by one.

Although it has only been raised for more than a month, the little lion can already distinguish between relatives and relatives, of course, there is another reason that it is really too cold.

Ikaon watched Little Pat and the little lion playing, suddenly rubbed his palms, and said to Su Muran with some caution: "Your Royal Highness, there is something ...... you"

Before Ikaon could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a call from across the river.

"Boatman, can you take us across the river?"

When Ikaon looked up, there were many shadows on the other side, and it was estimated that there were thirty or forty people, and he immediately knew that the person Peleus was waiting for was coming, and immediately replied in a loud voice: "Wait a minute, everyone, I'll go over at once." ”

Little Pat was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and shouted at the man who had just spoken, "Daddy!"

The man on the other side was Menotios!

After the last time Menotius escorted the wounded back, the next day he went to the front again. Except for the last time he glanced at him from a distance, this was the first time Su Muran had officially looked at him.

"Grandpa Ikaon, what were you going to tell me just now?" Although Ikaon spoke very quietly just now, Su Muran still heard it.

"It's not a big deal, I'll tell you about it next time. As he spoke, Ikaon stood up and prepared to hold the boat to pick up people on the other side, and Su Muran and Little Pat immediately got off the boat, and they couldn't disturb Ikaon at this time.

Ikaon had brought eight men on his first trip, and Menotius was among them, and as soon as he got off the boat, little Pat pounced on him.

"Dad, you're finally back!"

Menotios picked up little Pat, saw Su Muran standing beside him, and immediately put him down, and then saluted Su Muran: "Menotios has seen Prince Achilles. ”

Although Su Muran didn't have much impression of him, Menotios knew him.

When the seven people around Menotios heard him say this, they also immediately saluted Su Muran.

Su Muran hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't be so polite, just call me Achilles by your uncles and uncles." Su Muran saw that the costumes of these people were not simple, and at first glance, they were not from ordinary families, so he hurriedly politely said.

Se Lili has just been established, and he is not yet qualified to be arrogant, and even if he does, he can't show it like this at his age, otherwise he will only be ridiculed and uneducated.

"Uncle Menotios, what are you?"

"Prince Achilles, these guys and the ones that follow. Menotius pointed to those who had not yet crossed the river, and continued, "Most of them are the chiefs of our tribes and villages in the region of Millydon, who have come to our village today to discuss the establishment of a state, according to the king's orders. ”

Although Su Muran still looked like a child, Menotius still explained it to him carefully.
