Chapter 146: Go to Sparta and snatch Helen

After Paris was treated as a true prince in the capital of Troy, he was corrupted by wine and wealth, and gradually lost his former wise manhood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, the previous foundation also guaranteed that he would be a wise superior, not only did the lower class people not have a bad impression of him because of his luxurious life, but also won the support and respect of a large number of nobles.

Soon after, at the Great Council, with the support of many nobles, he defeated his brother Essacus and obtained something that would greatly help him become king: he went to Sparta to sign a new peace treaty with the Greek Commonwealth. Once this work is done, he will have a credit for the peace that will follow, and it will be easier and easier to become the king of Troy.

Being able to get this mission shows that the Trojans have high hopes for Paris, so Paris also embarks on a journey with great ambition, but he himself does not know that this trip will receive the gift promised to him by the goddess of love, and it will also bring great disasters to Troy and even the human race.

But his older brother, the prophet Essacus, watched the Paris Clipper leave the shores of his homeland, filled with despair. The poor man who foresaw the future turned his hands to the sky and shouted:

"Ah, calamity! the calamity of the great city of Troy! the calamity of all of us! I could see the fire encircling the holy Ilion, and its children covered in blood, and their children buried in the fire! I saw the strangers taking the weeping Trojan women into slavery!"

However, his prophecy of the future was regarded by all the other Trojans as jealousy of Paris, and his words fell on deaf ears, and the evaluation of the king's eldest son became lower and lower, laying the foundation for Helen to be supported by Paris back to Troy, because they decided that Essacus was not the king, and Paris was the future king of Troy.

Of course, what the prophet of the human race, Essacus, could perceive, those gods who blessed Troy would naturally not be without sense, but the power of the two Greek goddesses was too great, even among the factions that supported Apollo himself, there were people who helped Athena and Hera, and in the end, even Apollo, one of the twelve main gods who was transferred from Thebes to Troy, was dragged in his palace, and there was no way to appear to convey his oracle.

So in the end, Paris's big ship gradually moved away from the coast without being stopped, but before it could sail for a while, a hurricane blew on the sea, and it turned out that several sea fairies of the Titan's blood who longed for world peace came out to stop Paris's long journey. But when Paris was about to choose, the goddess Athena appeared, used her divine power to beat all the sea fairies away, and gave Paris the wisdom to break through the hurricane with wisdom authority, and the hurricane could not stop Paris's journey after that.

Because of Paris's bravery and wisdom in fighting the hurricane, all the crew members really surrendered to Paris, and their loyalty to the city was directly max. Along the way, with the help of all his crew, he passed through the rich cities of Phthia, Salamis and Mycenae, where his future enemies lived, and finally reached the shores of Laconia, where he slain several heroic-level beasts, including a pinnacle-level plesiosaur.

He anchored at the mouth of the Olotas River and disembarked in the company of his friend Aeneas. Paris and Aeneas met the new king of Sparta, Menelaos, and was recognized by all the Greek heroes for his dragon-slaying feat and wisdom, and was invited to the Temple of Artemis to make sacrifices for thirty years.

The beautiful Queen Helen of Sparta lived alone in the palace while her husband was away, and her life was actually very monotonous and tasteful, and she felt very lonely and completely different from the life she imagined to marry Menelaos. When she heard that a foreign prince was about to come to Sislah with a mighty warship, she was curious about the prince and his armed retinue.

So, she set out for the island of Sisila to prepare a solemn sacrifice in the Temple of Artemis. When she walked into the temple, Paris had finished the sacrifice. He was indescribably amazed when he saw the dignified queen walk in, and her hands that had been raised in prayer to heaven could not help but fall. He could barely control himself, as he felt as if he had seen Venus, the goddess of love, again when he was grazing in the pasture.

He had long heard that Helen was beautiful and charming, and he felt that the woman sent to him by the goddess of love was much more beautiful than the legendary beauty Helen. Because he felt that the beautiful woman promised to him by the goddess of love must be a virgin, and he did not expect that she would be someone else's wife, so he did not realize that it was Helen, the queen of Sparta, in front of him.

At this time, he suddenly understood that this was the beauty given to him by the goddess of love, and he wanted to get her. Entrusted by his father, the plan of the expedition was thrown out of the sky in an instant. He felt that the purpose of leading thousands of soldiers on an expedition was to get to pick up the beautiful Helen who was unknown in front of him.

While Paris was silently pondering, Helen was also looking at the handsome prince from Asia. He had long hair, wore a golden silk robe shining in the East, and was burly and very moving. Under the authority of Venus, the goddess of love, the image of her husband suddenly disappeared from consciousness and was replaced by this young and heroic foreigner, who was deeply seared into her heart.

The two immediately staged a very old-fashioned but very romantic encounter in the later life, both sides deeply felt that the two were each other's best home, they should be the most perfect pair in the world, and in the end, Helen's queenship still made her choose not to do immoral things, but how could the relationship that had sprouted be so easily destroyed by space and time

After the sacrifice, Helen returned to the palace of Sparta, where she tried to erase the image of the alien prince from her heart, and to force herself to miss her husband Menelaus, who was still staying in Pylos. But soon Paris came to Sparta with a few retinues and entered the royal palace. Queen Helen warmly received the visiting prince as courtesy. But Prince Paris spoke softly, with beautiful words, and with a fire of passion burning in his eyes, and he played the harp so well that Helen was so enchanted that she could not control herself.

And this Paris was also shaken when he saw Helen, so he forgot his father's commission and the mission of this trip, and only had the charming promise of the goddess of love in his heart. He summoned the heavily armed soldiers who had come with him to Sparta, promised to meet any of their conditions, and persuaded them to help him. In the end, the Trojan warriors were led by him to storm the unsuspecting Spartan palace, plundering the wealth of the palace and robbing the beautiful Helen.

As the queen of Sparta, Helen was resisting on the surface, but in her heart she was not unwilling to go with him, and even a little happy, feeling the favor of fate, and looking forward to a better life in the future.

As Paris sailed across the Aegean Sea with the spoils of war, the sea suddenly calmed down. In front of the ship carrying Paris and Helen, the waves parted automatically, and the old god of the sea, Nereus, stretched out of the water with his head wearing a crown of reed flowers, and his beard and hair dripping with water. The ship was like being nailed to the water. Nereus loudly announced to them a terrible prophecy:

"The ominous bird flies before your ship! The Greeks are coming after you with their armies, and they will break up your sinful union and destroy the ancient empire of Priam! Alas, how many lives will the Daldanians pay for you! Pallas Athena has put on her helmet and held her shield! This bloody battle will take many years, and only the wrath of one hero can stop the destruction of your city! When the appointed time comes, the Trojan homes will be burned to the ashes by the Greeks!" )
