Chapter 374: Helen
The huge Illyrian caravan marched south into the Epirus region, coerced and lured the rebellious cities, and according to Lu Bin's will, adopted the strategy of winning over one faction and supporting agents to fight other forces. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Some nobles wanted to attack them in the wild, but before the Dragon's Tooth Soldiers could attack, the belligerent Heroic Warriors would kill all the enemies that appeared in their field of vision, even if the opponent gave up their weapons and was willing to surrender, they could not stop them.
Several ambushes where the whole army was annihilated, the reality of heavy losses, taught the nobles who couldn't open their eyes, it was best to put away their thoughts. In the following journey, there were no more bandits.
This caravan, which had the power to destroy the city and destroy the country, passed through Epirus and entered Aetoria in central Greece, and the loose tribal alliance welcomed the caravan from afar, and was very curious about the Illyrian banner of the remnants of Thebai, but no conflict broke out.
The caravan opened the way with wine provided by the city-state of Epirus and entered the sanctuary of Apollo the Archer and the Temple of Delphi, where the oracle was issued. The greedy priest laughed at the caravan tribute, but instead of giving any useful advice, he claimed that the gold and silver in the tribute were not of good quality, and tried to demand more as compensation.
Fortunately, Lu Bin didn't pay much attention to the oracle, and he was not even interested in entering the temple of Delphi, so the caravan continued south and arrived at the declining ancient city of Thebai.
The faces of the remnants of Thebai, who had followed the caravan, had not changed at first, but when they heard the cheers from their hearts, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lu Bin watched the Illyrians return to their spiritual home, quietly disappeared, and arrived at the abandoned royal city with a silk veil taken from Harmonia, and smashed this god-given treasure with his own hands, completely breaking the gods' curse on the Cadmus family.
When the news of the return of the Thebes to their homeland spread, the caravan attracted the attention of the rulers of the Greek city-states, and Lu Bin, in the name of King of Illyria, began to tour this elite area, and was warmly welcomed each time due to the support of his deep pockets.
In the famous city of Athens, Lu Bin was invited to the Senate to listen to the arguments of citizen representatives over the construction of irrigation canals. Both sides argued with reason, both sides took their own positions, and the heated debate scene got out of control several times, but they were booed by neutrals in time.
In the martial arts of Corinth, Lu Bin has seen noble warriors with top-level combat power, but they are still slightly inferior to the heroic warriors under his command, not to mention the dragon tooth soldiers who sharpen their edges in blood and war.
Lu Bin entered the Peloponnese via Corinth, adjacent to the mountains of Arcadia, and was an eye-opener to him by the centaur robbers who ran to and fro. This ancient tribe of the Sage Charon is rude and wild in males, but in females it is vigorous and gentle.
If it weren't for Lu Bin's heart thinking about the good show that was about to be staged in the Spartan King City, he would definitely be patient and hunt down the centaur girl as a collectible.
Although it was only a glimpse, in the Arcadia Mountains, Lu Bin vaguely saw werewolves crawling on four legs, and the mountain tribes who were cursed by Zeus who did not respect the gods.
"The Sword of the Silver Oath can cut through all curses and restore them to their original state. However, the source of the plague of the dark gold card can increase their curse tenfold or even dozens of times, and the minions will be contaminated with the curse of werewolves, setting off the disaster of beasts, which is a very good material. ”
Lu Bin kept the "Laikaon" clan in mind, calculated that the time was approaching, and led the dragon's tooth soldiers and heroic warriors to enter the end of this expedition in the name of the king of Illyria, Sparta!
"It is rumored that the Spartans despise culture and education, and I still don't believe it, until I see it with my own eyes, and I realize that it is really a wise saying that there is no truth. ”
Even the royal city of Sparta did not have a single magnificent building, and even the royal palace, which had stood for many years, was rudimentary. The royal city of Sparta had no towering walls, and the streets were not carefully planned, and the zigzag seemed very haphazard, looking like a large bungalow, a large village.
King Menelaus of Sparta led the city's elite on a visit, and Queen Helen was in charge of receiving guests from Illyria.
Lu Bin rushed ahead of the Trojan prince Paris and saw the legendary stunning beauty Helen, because it did not meet his aesthetic concept, the queen of Sparta was just an ordinary woman in his eyes. However, her extraordinary background, noble bloodline, and factors that affect the strings of fate really add a lot of points.
In front of a large number of female officials and ministers, Lu Bin's heart was to take the first step, snatch Queen Helen, and bring it back to Illyria by sea, but when he saw the breath of this Pandora II, connecting the Greek city-states in all directions, and even the immortal gods of the holy mountain of Olympus, Lu Bin, whose strength had not yet reached its peak, held down his whim.
The silk veil that dispels the power of the curse was given to the queen of Sparta as a gift by Lu Bin, and the craftsmanship of Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen, is perfectly impeccable, and the gauze scarf as soft as a floating cloud is indeed a gift of light and affection.
Queen Helen was also a knowledgeable person, and was very satisfied with the gift of the king of Illyria, so she gave a white goose feather to Lu Bin.
The female officials or ministers present didn't care about this, but only Lu Bin understood that this was the former Spartan queen Leda, who was inadvertently plucked out of the feather that was inadvertently plucked by the swan hugging transformed into Zeus, who was far away from the thunder.
Lu Bin looked at the feathers of this swan, like seeing the white clouds roaming the sky, this is the most intuitive experience of the strength of the god king Zeus, his heart is very happy, and he is sent to the book of the traveling mage to be sealed.
"With this feather, I might be able to find the swan incarnated by Zeus. It is said that the eggshell that gave birth to Kastor and Polydux was in the palace of Sparta, and I had to be patient to find it. ”
The two sides talked happily, the lively banquet was held in the palace, and Lu Bin left a phantom stand-in, but the body was quietly invisible, wandering in the palace.
The Trojan prince Paris was about to arrive, and Lu Bin faintly heard the footsteps of Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, wandering nearby, and his speed immediately increased.
The hard work paid off, the huge Spartan royal court, a hundred duplicate houses, was finally found by Lu Bin, Zeus incarnated as a swan and embraced the Spartan queen Leda, giving birth to the eggshells of Kastor and Polydux.
Lu Bin saw four soft white ribbons, wrapping the two eggshells tightly and hanging them in mid-air, not touching the sky or touching the ground, and he didn't know what the intention was.
This treasure of great significance, Lu Bin originally thought that there would be guards guarding it, but there was no one nearby. He strolled forward and stretched out his hand to touch it, but unexpectedly, the swan eggshell suddenly burst out with holy white light, shaking Lu Bin back violently.
"I see, resist the approach of all gods. It's a shame that I was able to switch between my states at will. ”
Lu Bin turned himself into an ordinary person, and this time the swan eggshell did not refuse, and was easily taken into his hands. In the blink of an eye, Lu Bin summoned the Book of the Traveling Mage, sent this extraordinary treasure in, and used it as a companion with the swan feather he had obtained not long ago.
Through the two-point line drawing circle positioning method, Lu Bin determined the location of Zeus's swan incarnation: "I actually stayed in the palace of Sparta, turned into a statue, and silently guarded ...... Helen. According to me, Zeus's swan incarnation still has the duty of surveillance, after all, this is a drama of the times personally led by the god-king who has spread far and wide. ”
Lu Bin knew that the best chance to make a move was when the Trojan prince Paris kidnapped Queen Helen and left Sparta by boat.
"Before the swan returns to the sacred mountain of Olympus, or is retrieved by Zeus himself, and placed among the constellations that clear the order in the night sky, I will be one step ahead. For the Battle of Troy, even the Great Eagle will suppress the anger of the disappearance of the incarnation, after all, if you start the Divine War rashly, at least in the Peloponnese, you will definitely be beaten to ruins. ”
