Chapter 2: Trials
Xia Lian's brain was racing, and he began to think quickly, it was not a simple matter of choice, if he gave the apple to one of the goddesses, he would provoke the other two.
This is not a simple matter of dividing the golden apples among the three goddesses, and they can all be happy.
To the living gods, the golden apple is nothing precious to them.
What they really want is the words on the golden apple: "For the most beautiful goddess", if it is really divided, it will only provoke all three goddesses.
In the original ending, Paris chose the god of beauty, and the woman he obtained was Helen, the princess of the king of Sparta.
A face that has brought disaster and destruction to the city of Troy for ten years, her beauty is unquestionable.
After making this choice, Paris would go to Greece at his father's behest to claim the return of his aunt Hesione, where he met Helen.
Because of the buff of Eros, Helen, as the princess, quickly fell in love with the prince from a foreign country.
And without hesitation, he carried out a famous elopement.
The king of Sparta naturally couldn't bear this humiliation after being bullish, so this also opened the prelude to the Trojan War, and behind this, it was the revenge of the two goddesses, which eventually led to the demise of Troy.
And Paris's final ending was also extremely miserable, and his family was ruined.
Although Xia Lian, like most men, is a person who likes to think with his lower body, he will not go to the point of dying under the peony flower and being a ghost.
Moreover, he is a warrior of pure love, and the Minotaur is still a matter of it.
Therefore, the choice of Eros is ruled out in the first place.
Hera is the queen of heaven, with greater weight than the god of beauty, and it is not a time when there has been no guarantor before.
For example, Iasson, but there was never a case of a great god intervening at that time.
Moreover, Hera, like Zeus, is notoriously unaffectionate, and moody, maybe she will forget herself at some point, and this is also excluded.
Athena was a good choice, and she was known for her short protection, most notably Odysseus.
Ignoring the words that were later added in the "Library" and were killed by himself and Circe's son.
Odysseus undoubtedly had a good ending, he offended Aphrodite, Apollo, and Poseidon, but none of these gods allowed Odysseus to die, at most Poseidon delayed his return.
No one can provoke the gods without paying any price, if Athena is chosen, Troy may still perish due to the revenge of the other two goddesses, he may go through hardship, but he should live.
This is probably the best option.
Charlen turned her gaze to Athena, but it was at this moment that Aphrodite spoke.
"What else to hesitate about?"
He fiddled with his belt, approached Xia Lian and smiled charmingly, "I am the god of beauty, who is the most beautiful, isn't it already decided, are you right?" ”
Aphrodite's belt was an artifact that could charm people's hearts, and Hera once borrowed Aphrodite's belt to charm Zeus, so that he could not help Troy.
Therefore, when Aphrodite approached Xia Lian, the faint aroma that came to Xia Lian's nose made Xia Lian's soul tremble slightly, and his mind was full of sweeping goods in the supermarket.
He couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, who can withstand this.
What do these two goddesses think, how can they compare their beauty with the beauty god who is full of charm.
And it's more table-topping than losing.
He didn't even dare to look at Aphrodite, he even wanted to retract his gaze by saying "She's a hanging spirit" in his heart.
Aphrodite was born when the cow fell into the sea after Cronus castrated Ouranos.
But Aphrodite whispered in his ear.
"Why don't you dare to look at me? What are you afraid of?
You think I'm beautiful, right?
Then there is no need to hesitate.
The most beautiful person in the world, but second only to me....."
The hot and humid breath gently blew on Xia Lian's ears, and a tingling sensation swallowed his whole person, and Xia Lian even subconsciously wanted to nod in agreement.
A wife is a wife, but it's just a little worn, and it's still cool.
But the next moment, just when Xia Lian's inner defense line was about to collapse.
A voice seemed to ring in his head.
"The trial begins: make a choice, change your fate, and the reward depends on the final outcome."
Xia Lian bit his tongue in an instant, and the sharp pain made him gradually sober up.
"System?" Xia Lian tried to call out the voice just now with his heart.
A moment later, the voice that popped into my head reappeared.
"I'm not the system."
"It's all the same thing anyway." Xia Lian thought disapprerovingly, "What kind of trial are you talking about?" ”
"The results of the trials determine where you should be reborn."
"Reincarnation? Now the reincarnation system of the underworld has been updated? Isn't it the six realms of reincarnation?
No, my trial is Greek mythology, are you mistaken about the jurisdiction. ”
"Please focus on your trial." The voice in Xia Lian's head reminded.
"Okay." Xia Lian glanced at the three goddesses who were still waiting out of the corner of his eye, "How should I deal with these three ancestors now?" ”
"This is your trial."
"How can you help?"
"This is your trial."
"Your system intelligence is a bit low."
The voice in Xia Lian's head no longer replied, as if he felt that it was pointless to talk to Xia Lian like this.
He looked up at the three goddesses, their eyes already tinged with impatience, and he now had to give them an answer.
After a pause, he said respectfully.
"O great three goddesses, the beauty of the three of you has its own characteristics, the queen of heaven, Lord Hera, is dignified and elegant, graceful and luxurious, the goddess of wisdom is wise and heroic, and wild and intellectual coexist.
Needless to say, Lady Beauty, you are naturally beautiful, and your beauty is like the light that flickers in the daytime.
If I really had to choose the most beautiful one, I believe it would be a very tangled matter for anyone. ”
"What do you want to say?" Athena said with a frown.
"In this case, please give me some time to think about it." Xia Lian said sincerely, "In the face of such a difficult choice, if I answer now, then it will not only be disrespectful to the goddess who was chosen.
It's also disrespectful to the other two goddesses, isn't it? ”
"What's there to hesitate about, I'm the god of beauty, and the most beautiful nature is me!" Aphrodite said confidently.
"Hmph." Hera snorted, "Do you think we have a lot of time to waste on this!?" ”
"Three days." Xia Lian lowered his head and said, "Within three days, I will definitely make a choice, I believe that these three days should only be a matter of a moment for the immortal gods....."
Athena looked at Xia Lian, and Xia Lian lowered his head slightly and did not dare to look at him, but just like that, Xia Lian still had a feeling of being seen through from beginning to end.
A moment later, Athena said.
"I can wait for you for three days, but I hope you are not so ignorant as to try to deceive the gods, the last guy who fooled the gods, at this moment, is still suffering in hell endlessly."
"You're laughing." Xia Lian sneered, "I just want to give the fairest choice." ”
"I hope so." Athena said.
Hera frowned slightly, she glanced at Aphrodite, and she was looking at him.
"Since Athena and Aphrodite have no opinion, then it is not a problem for us to wait for you for three days." Hera Dao.
"And if I have the answer in my mind, how am I going to find you?" Xia Lian asked.
"God will always watch over you, and if you pronounce our true names, we will come to you." Athena said.
"Then I see." Xia Lian said.
The three goddesses glanced at each other, and then disappeared in front of Xia Lian.....
