The melodious sound of the flute kept flowing in the sky. The four gods quietly enjoyed the sound of the flute and had no intention of interrupting.
Pei Ziyun knew deeply that if he wanted to change Paris' fate, he had to start bit by bit.
Subjectively, Pei Ziyun could easily reverse the situation. He could completely control the matter of falling in love with Helen and eloping with Helen.
Objective factors, the fate of Paris determined by the gods, are difficult to reverse, but they can be changed by influencing the gods' feelings and opinions about him bit by bit.
The four gods came to Mount Ida. Pei Ziyun believed that the sound of the master's flute could help him plant a seed in the hearts of the four gods. This was the beginning of change.
Feeling a lot of attention, Pei Ziyun finished playing a piece of music, put away the flute, and glanced at the system: "Xiao (flute), Grandmaster (25.3%)"
When Pei Ziyun played the reed flute, he was completely immersed in the memory of Paris, and the emotions he expressed were flawless. The feelings for Oenone in the flute sound were from his childhood sweetheart, and were naturally affectionate without any motley.
If the gods were missing anything, after a long time, Hermes walked up to Pei Ziyun and said: "Shepherd, I am Hermes. Don't be afraid. The great Zeus has given you a task. Three goddesses are coming to you. , because they choose you to be the judge and ask you to judge who is the most beautiful among them. Zeus tells you to accept this mission, and he will protect and help you in the future."
After Hermes finished speaking, without waiting for Pei Ziyun's reply, he puffed up his wings and flew out of the narrow valley into the sky.
Pei Ziyun looked at it and sneered secretly: "Hermes is not willing to wade into this muddy water."
And when the time comes, will Zeus really be willing to provide him with protection and help
Historically, no.
The Trojan War in Greek mythology was ultimately a war caused by the uneven distribution of interests among the gods of Olympia.
Paris was undoubtedly a victim of this war, but it was different now. Thinking about it, Pei Ziyun plucked up the courage, boldly raised his head, and looked at the three goddesses in front of him.
A goddess is majestic and proud, with a pair of eyes that see all things, her arms are as white as lilies, and her golden curly hair flows out from under her crown.
This one should be Zeus' sister and wife Hera, Pei Ziyun thought to himself.
Another goddess has a pair of bright blue eyes, shining with the light of wisdom. This should be Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
The last goddess, with a slender figure, graceful and dignified posture, should be Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
After looking around, the proudest and tallest of the three goddesses stared at Pei Ziyun: "I am Hera, the sister and wife of Zeus."
"Take this golden apple. It is a gift that Eris, the goddess of discord, threw to the guests at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, the goddess of the sea. It is written on it for the most beautiful one."
"If you award it to me, you will rule the richest nation on earth, even though you were an outcast in the palace and are now just a shepherd."
Although Pei Ziyun had already confirmed that this person was Hera, hearing Hera's voice with his own ears made him feel that this Xingziguo was just like the legend, and he was secretly surprised.
The richest country on the earth is obviously the Kingdom of Troy. This country cannot last long under the will of the gods. Moreover, it is obvious that if he wants to ascend to power, he will commit parricide according to the habits of the gods.
In this country, killing each other is commonplace, and there will not be many evil consequences. Only parricide will cause the three goddesses of vengeance - Alecto, the goddess of restlessness, Megaera, the goddess of jealousy, and Tihi, the goddess of revenge. Tisiphone's punishment, these three terrible gods never condone the murder of relatives, they are not easy to offend!
"I am Athena, the goddess of wisdom." A pair of blue eyes flickered on her beautiful and charming face: "Shepherd, if you decide that I am the most beautiful, then you will be famous as the wisest among mankind. With wisdom, You will have it all.”
Pei Ziyun looked at Athena who was concise and concise as always, and felt that she was worthy of being the goddess of wisdom. She could contain a lot of useful information in a short sentence.
The third goddess, who had been speaking with the most beautiful eyes, smiled sweetly and said: "Don't be tempted by sweet words, those promises are unreliable. I am willing to give you a gift, it will bring you happiness, Let you enjoy happy love. I would like to give you the most beautiful woman in the world to be your wife. I am Aphrodite, the goddess of love."
The three goddesses have already offered their prices to Pei Ziyun. For the time being, he can only choose the one with the highest price and the most suitable one among the three goddesses. As for bargaining, he is not qualified yet.
After speaking, Hera solemnly handed the golden apple to Pei Ziyun, waiting for his choice.
When Pei Ziyun got the golden apple, he felt a hint of fragrance oozing out, and his system was shocked. He thought that the golden apple was the item needed for this mission, and even had the idea of running away directly.
But it's a pity that he can't do this. Now that he has taken the golden apple, only destruction awaits him.
Pei Ziyun touched the golden apple. No matter which goddess was chosen as the most beautiful, she would undoubtedly offend the other two goddesses, and the two offended goddesses would have a good excuse to openly provoke the Trojan War.
It is impossible to prevent the outbreak of the Trojan War at all now. Since the destruction of Troy is already destined, it is not so much a choice as it is no choice.
Sighing, Pei Ziyun looked at Hera. Hera was the wife of Zeus. It was said that she shared Zeus's authority, but when she had to choose, there was a terrifying feeling.
This is fate's warning.
Pei Ziyun then looked at Athena. If he was willing to choose, he actually wanted to choose Athena the most. In Greek mythology, almost 1/3 of the heroes have received her favor and care, and there are also those who have died well after Troy. .
In the story of the Seven Heroes attacking Thebes, Tydeus, who was favored by Athena, was fatally wounded. At this time, Athena was even ready to grant eternal life, but at this time Amphiaraus brought the head of Melanipos to Tydeus. Deus, in a rage, he smashed the head of Melanipos and drank his brains. This move made Athena furious, thus canceling the original plan-this is the myth that, except for Hercules, The only deed that has any hope of becoming a god.
This shows the authority of Athena.
However, there is also a feeling of terror, which is also a warning of fate, which shows that Athena cannot choose herself. Otherwise, if Athena is on Troy's side, this will greatly change the outcome of Troy.
Pei Ziyun sighed, and finally looked at Aphrodite, the goddess of love. This goddess seemed very attractive at first glance. This was also the power of fate.
Time passed by, and the three goddesses stood quietly, while Pei Ziyun unabashedly looked at the three goddesses. After a quarter of an hour, Hera showed a hint of impatience, and then Pei Ziyun said: "I have found it. The most beautiful girl in the world, she is Onone."
"I don't want to rule the richest country, nor do I want to be the wisest person. I just want to ask the goddess of love to bless me so that Onone and I can love each other."
(Note, after checking the information, I found that Oenone was not married yet, so I modified it)
With that said, Pei Ziyun handed the precious golden apple in his hand to Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
After hearing this, all the goddesses were stunned for a moment, and Oenone, who was hiding under the grape leaves, covered her eyes with tears streaming down her face.
Oenone really couldn't believe that Paris had the courage, loved her so much, and dared to say this in front of all the gods.
And giving the golden apple to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, would definitely offend both goddesses.
Oenone is the daughter of the river god (Cebren). In fact, she has vaguely heard about the prophecy, and her moved heart turned into worry.
Hera and Athena turned away in anger, vowing not to forget today's shame and to take revenge on him, his father and all the Trojans.
Pei Ziyun sighed inwardly, even though this was the script arranged by the gods in advance, when a mere mortal chose Aphrodite, the goddess of love, Hera and Athena were still furious, turned into a rainbow and disappeared.
Aphrodite took a deep look at Oenone in the vine, and solemnly reiterated the promise she made: "My dear, if you choose me, you will not be disappointed, you will get the most beautiful woman in the world. "
After Aphrodite finished speaking, she kissed his forehead, gave him the blessing of God, and left.
These gods left just as quickly as they came, and they were all gone as soon as they turned around.
The most beautiful woman
Pei Ziyun secretly sneered in his heart. It seemed that Helen's matter would still have to happen. Without Helen, how could hundreds of city-states in Greece (all independent kingdoms) unite to conquer Troy
It seems like this doesn't change anything
No, it's changed a lot.
When he gave the golden apple to Aphrodite, he asked for the blessing of Paris and Oenone, not the most beautiful woman in the world.
As long as this news is spread quickly, even if there is a Helen incident in the future, it can be recognized that this is the power of Aphrodite's bow and arrow. Even gods can hardly resist the one who hits it, and mortals can't resist it. It's all God's will.
Naturally, the responsibility is clearly shirked.
It can be said that this moment has changed many of Paris's original sins - from a pretty boy, an ungrateful person, and someone who abandoned his wife, to a poor man who loves his wife deeply but has to be twisted by God.
Mortals in the world of gods have a deep understanding of the power of gods, so they will not blame themselves at all—at least they will not blame themselves too much.
Moreover, he has gained something. Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun silently said in his heart: "System!"
A small plum blossom appeared quickly, and quickly enlarged, turning into a transparent information frame, with a faint sense of light appearing in front of the eyes.
"Complete the mission—the choice of the three goddesses."
"Blessed by the goddess - the function of sustenance and fame transformation is restored."
"Martial Arts: Grandmaster (45.7%)"
"Have some functions finally been restored?" Pei Ziyun thought to himself. In this world, powers that do not comply with the rules of this world will definitely not be usable, but some are still passable.
"Paris, Paris." Oenone came out of the vines, ran to Pei Ziyun quickly, and hugged her: "My dear, you are so good, how dare you say you love me in front of the gods, I I saw you right."
"Onone, I just asked the goddess of love to witness our love and let her bless us. I will fulfill my promise to you."
"Yes, Paris, I am willing to be with you forever." With that, the girl leaned against Pei Ziyun's chest and murmured.
There will be another chapter later, and the protagonist has already begun to change the Greek mythology bit by bit.
