Although it was daytime, the sky was overcast, and the occasional lightning and thunder made the scene of Crete bleak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Cretan Kevlar Mountain, the ancient trees on the mountain towering to the sky, only to see a magnificent multi-storey flat-roofed building is located in the middle, and this building, in fact, the Aegean Sea (according to history, the Aegean Sea as the later name) of the Cretan king Minos imperial palace - Knossos Palace, at this time, the renovated Knossos Palace Jinluan Palace, only to see eight Cretan warriors holding double-sided axes majesticly guarding outside the hall, in the hall, but see Cretan civil and military officials gathered together, all solemnly looking at a person sitting on the throne as white as snow, The old man with a majestic expression, and this old man full of royal demeanor is the king of Crete - Minos.

Ignoring the civil and military affairs of the court, his eyes crossed the palace gate and stared at a palace room outside the Jinluan Palace, but he saw Minos's thoughtful expression. Through the gate of the palace, it can be vaguely seen that in the palace, there are two painters who are concentrating on painting on a wall facing the gate of the Jinluan Palace, although the mural has no prototype, it can only be roughly identified as a person, but Minos knows that the character in the painting is him, at this time, looking at the busy painter, Minos in his heart, only hope that the mural can be completed as soon as possible, so that in the painting, his striding meteor, indomitable style can be shown as soon as possible. "Since his accession to the throne, he has not relied on his indomitable efforts to lead the fleet again and again, and to conquer the south and the north, but I want the territory of the Cretan dynasty to be as vast as it is now..." At that time, with the most advanced civilization, the Cretan fleet was invincible, and the countries of the Aegean islands all bowed their heads to the vassals, and the frescoes associated with the prosperity of the kingdom today, it can be said that it was all due to his own decades of unremitting efforts, and he felt that the martial arts of culture and martial arts were unprecedented, and when Minos was proud, suddenly, the lightning flashed, followed by a thunderbolt, but it made him feel terrified.

"My lord, for the past few days, the sky has been abnormal, earthquakes, Tsunamis are frequent, but many civilians along the coast are innocently killed, the people are rumors, all say that this is the omen of the doomsday catastrophe, and read the truth is not clear, the whole country is uneasy for a day, in order to find out the root of the chaos, last night, the minister went to the temple to ask for the oracle, as a result, the oracle shows that this year coincides with the nine-year Minotaur (the legendary bull-headed human monster) sacrifice year, so in the past few days, Cretan disasters have continued, in fact, the forbidden underground palace of the monster Minotaur is not tolerant of hunger and embarrassment, secretly caused by the demon rebellion, because the oracle expressly stated, not to complete the sacrifice ceremony, the disaster is difficult to rest, and the king has always loved the people like a son on weekdaysTherefore, in order to pray for the early peace of the trouble, in order to comfort the hearts of the people, the ministers want to have the courage to implore the king, hoping that the king can immediately issue an order, and quickly send an envoy to Athens to ask for tribute, so that the sacrifice ceremony can be held as soon as possible...", his thoughts returned to reality, and he saw the oracle priest Bacchus holding a staff and standing at the bottom of the steps, thinking that Bacchus was suitable to plead and hate, Minos couldn't help frowning.

Since his accession to the throne, Minos has three unforgettable and resentful things, one is to hate Queen Pacific's disloyalty back then (about the queen's affairs in that year, there is a table later, and I will not mention it here); second, he hates that God is unfair, but he has made Androgeos, who has high hopes among his sons, die young; although he knew that Androphys died due to the trickery of the Athenian king Aegeus, although he also sent troops to attack Athens that year, but in the face of the stubborn resistance of the Athenians, in the case of heavy casualties among the Cretan advance army, starting from the overall situation, Minos was finally forced to accept Aegeus's proposal for peace, but it can be said that he could not avenge his son。

However, although the army attacked Athens that year and killed Aegeus failed, the signing of the peace treaty between the two sides finally made Minos feel that he had not gained nothing, but in the contract, Minos deliberately ordered Athens to send seven boys and girls to Crete every nine years in order to pay tribute and sacrifice to Minotaurs.
