Chapter 41 The Establishment of the State
Thetis, of course, saw Peleus too, and she thought she could treat him calmly, as if he were a traveler who had returned from a hike for a few days.
But when Peleus walked up to her, she felt so wrong that she couldn't even control how she had to open her mouth.
The moment Pelius held her in his arms, she really felt that it was the whole world that embraced her, and tears were uncontrollably pouring out of her eyes.
The worries and worries of the past few years have finally come to an end.
"Don't cry, Thetis, so many people are watching. Peleus could feel Thetis' tears dripping down his armor, and the crisp sound was clear to him even in the midst of a huge wave.
"They can see what they like, what does it have to do with me?" Theseis did not pay any attention to the outside gaze, still holding Peleus tightly.
But Achilles was still watching. Peleus said helplessly, the gaze beside Thetis made him feel very stressed.
Thetis immediately let go of Peleus, she was still very restrained in front of Su Muran, she couldn't destroy her dignified and generous image.
It's okay, just be happy. Su Muran said that the damage caused to the two people who sprinkled dog food in public had been reduced by 100%.
Peleus let go of Thetis, and did not pay attention to Su Muran, but climbed to the high platform specially prepared for him amid the cheers of the crowd, and on this festive day, he had to say something.
Peleus stood on a high platform, his eyes slowly scanning all the people present, and the people on the other side of the river also gathered to the river, hoping to get closer to him.
Peleus raised his arms and pressed them down slightly, and the cheers around him stopped abruptly, and everyone was waiting for him to speak.
"All the people of Milmidon, we have won!"
"Ah!!!h
"Oh!!!"
"Long live Milmidon!"
"Long live Milmidon!"
......
All the cheers at the beginning finally converged into this sentence, and the cheers of thousands of people were deafening.
"Today I announce to you that all of our tribes and villages in Millmidon will unite to form a new kingdom!"
Peleus's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, even in the loud cheers.
"After the decision of all the village and tribal leaders, the country will be named Sereli!"
Actually, there is not much to say, as the inhabitants of Millmidon knew about it six years ago, but today it seems very different from Peleus's mouth. This means that the region of Mirmidon, which has been siloed for centuries, will be united and will henceforth become a city-state to be reckoned with.
"Long live Seri!!"
"Long live Seri!!"
The populace rejoiced again, for hundreds of years they had enough to lose without a country.
When they were invaded, they had no army to support them, so they could only rely on the villagers in their own villages or the men of the tribe to go out to fight; there was no one to manage the civil affairs, and in the event of drought or locust plague, there was no relief, so they could only rely on themselves to survive; even if they went to other city-states to buy and sell goods, they did not dare to reveal their identities, and once they were discovered by others, all kinds of incidents of forced buying and selling were also endless.
There is too much difference between having a country to rely on and not having one.
"I, Peleus, will be your king!"
Peleus opened his arms and swore an oath to the people present. He knew that no one would object, and it was already a foregone conclusion.
There was silence for a moment, and then there was even greater cheering.
"Long live Peleus!!"
"Long live the king!!"
Everyone cheered loudly, their cheeks flushed with excitement, even the old ones.
Su Muran didn't cheer, he had already covered his ears early, because the sounds around him were too noisy, making him feel a little tightness in his chest.
Is it so exaggerated? Su Muran really didn't understand these people, originally Pelius was only at the level of a village chief, but now he suddenly rode on everyone's head, these people were actually very happy?
Su Muran doesn't understand this world, so he has always looked at problems with the concept of his previous life. In fact, for the Millmidons, the benefits for Peleus to become king were enormous.
First, Peleus fought bravely. In this era, war is the dominant melody, and aggression and resistance are staged everywhere. Not to mention between countries, even if it is just tribes and tribes, villages and villages, there may be fierce battles over water and food.
When Peleus became king, he would inevitably take the lead in the face of foreign invasions. And his prestige on the battlefield made all parties fearful, which is equivalent to the people of Milmidon having one more protector!
Second, Peleus was prestigious. For a newly formed country, if the owner is an unknown person, it will attract the covetousness of all parties. Even if they can survive the aggression of other countries, their citizens will be despised when they go to other countries, and they will have no status at all. But if the king is highly respected, the people of other countries will not dare to look down on the people, and will give them due respect.
These two points alone were enough for the Milmidons to fully support Peleus.
Peleus stepped down as soon as he finished speaking, and the people began to organize sacrifices and celebrations. At this time, the establishment of a country is not something that you say will be established, but must be approved by the gods.
The first sacrifice was made to the god-king Zeus, and the main sacrifice was a large bull. Then sacrifices were made to Apollo and Artemis, whose sacrifices were half-sized calves. Then sacrifice Demeter with a large ram. And then there is the local god of various mountains and rivers, and this one can be used with a lamb.
Countries near the sea also had special sacrifices to Poseidon, and the sacrifices were also made with calves. However, Seli's current territory is not close to the sea, so this step can be avoided.
At the end of each sacrifice, a celebration is organized to celebrate the approval of the gods. Generally speaking, this process lasts about five days, which is very tedious, and requires an elderly person of high status to act as a priest. But there were too few such people like Serelius, so the first great sacrifice was presided over by Peleus himself.
On a hillside outside the village, a bonfire had been lit and a large, gutted bull was placed on a huge altar.
Peleus walked up, knelt down on one knee before the altar, and said, "Zeus, the noble and merciful Father, and the mighty Lord of the gods, your people Peleus pray to you: Today, Miredon will establish a nation. Your people Peleus swear to you that the Secorians will always worship you, and that all the Secorians will live, fight, and recuperate under your light. If you agree to our request, please accept the gift we have prepared for you, so that all Sevalians can have peace of mind. ”
......
On Mount Olympus, a man in a golden robe is surveying the land through thick clouds. His face was very peculiar, at first glance it was a majestic middle-aged appearance, then it turned into a handsome young man, and then it turned into a kind old man. His face seemed to be covered with a cloud that made it impossible to see, except for the light of lightning dancing between his long silver-white hair.
He stood in Piazza Olympus with his hands behind his back, as if observing the suffering of the world, his eyes deep and melancholy, and his mouth muttering to himself.
But if someone were standing next to him at this moment, they would be shocked to hear what he said, no, there seems to be no such thing as glasses at this time.
"This leg is long, not bad...... This boobs are so big! Yes, it's very good! This figure is good, I don't know what it looks like, come, let me see the face...... Ahh
"Zeus, what are you doing?" Just as the man was crying out in regret, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind him.
It was a very beautiful woman, her long blonde hair was coiled up and combed into a woman's bun, and her long red skirt was spread to the ground, highlighting her graceful figure. If Su Muran was here at this time, he would definitely be surprised, because this woman was very similar to an actress named Mildew in her previous life, and even her big red lips were the same.
Hearing the woman's voice, Zeuston was startled, wiped off the cold sweat on his head without a trace, and then turned around calmly.
"Hera, why are you here?"
"Why? Can't I come here? Zeus, you haven't answered my question yet. Hera narrowed her already narrow eyes, and at this moment she became more dangerous in the eyes of Zeus.
"Haha, what are you talking about?, where can't you go to Mount Olympus?" Zeus snorted, "I'm not bored, just take a look at the world." ”
"Oh, don't you say I thought you were looking at those young and beautiful little sisters in the world. Hera scoffed unceremoniously. She knows her husband's character too well, he is extravagant and lustful.
"How so?" Zeus justifiably defended himself, "It's been a long time since I've been looking for a mortal woman, you should know very well. ”
Hearing Zeus say this, Hera's mood barely improved. Since the woman in Alcmene, Zeus has indeed never touched a mortal woman again.
But when she thinks of Alcmene, Hera thinks of her and Zeus's son, and most of her life's face has been lost on that person!
Hera's face turned even worse. Zeus looked at her gloomy face, and although he didn't quite understand why Hera was still angry, his intuition told him that it was always right to slip away now.
"Ahh Hera, I'll go first!" Zeus leaped forward, jumped onto a white cloud, and flew towards the world at great speed.
"Zeus, you ......" Before he could finish speaking, Zeus had already disappeared from Hera's vision.
......
Mill Midon.
Peleus had just finished praying when suddenly a flame flew up from the campfire behind him!
