Trojan Coast·Lesburgh Island
The island is not big, but has luxuriant plants and lush trees. There are several recesses where boats can enter, and there is also one on the back of the cliff, which can provide shelter from wind and rain.
Pei Ziyun's fleet is temporarily parked here at this moment. The storm has come. He cannot return to Troy for the time being and can only avoid the coming storm in front of him.
The clouds in the sky rolled, and the wind roared, sweeping across the black sea. The sea water was swept up by the powerful wind, turning up huge waves, layer upon layer, as if it was the end of the world.
"Boom" a huge wave rolled up and hit the island hard. Faced with this irresistible power of heaven and earth, the soldiers and slaves on the battleship all hid in the cabin and huddled up, as if this could make them feel a little safer.
The whole night, the wind roared and roared, the rain poured down, and the entire Lesburg Island was continuously devastated by a rare and severe storm.
It wasn't until early in the morning that the storm gradually subsided, the dark clouds dispersed, and a brilliant rainbow hung in the distance. The rainbow clung to the sea and seemed to be an arch bridge across the sea.
In the battleship room, Pei Ziyun gently pulled out his hand and broke free from the arms of the sleeping Helen. He couldn't help but secretly sigh, this woman is so charming, no wonder so many people like her and do many irrational things for her. Hughes, there is Paris nearby, and he is one of them.
Not only was the storm raging last night, he and Helen also went crazy all night, falling asleep only at dawn.
Pei Ziyun carefully covered Helen's body with a blanket. Looking at Helen's exquisite face, he couldn't help but think: "This woman is mine, and no one can take her away."
Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. Unexpectedly, he was not a hero, so he had to face this beauty. Pei Ziyun laughed at himself.
Looking at it carefully now, I looked a little stunned.
"Even if you know about this charming aura, it's difficult to completely offset it." But now is not the time to watch, Pei Ziyun woke up, got up, dressed, and left the room.
At this moment, the wind was calm and the sun was shining brightly, and a dim and almost disappearing rainbow could still be seen in the sky. All the soldiers were smiling. After the rain, the sky was clear, and they were about to return to their hometown, and they were in a happy mood.
After patrolling outside, Tu's eyes froze.
A woman appeared in the cabin. This woman was wearing a black robe and her face was covered with a black gauze. Her face could not be seen clearly. She should have been very conspicuous, but she was like a phantom, and the soldiers around her turned a blind eye to her. , even if she walked past the place where she stood, she was also passing through the phantom, without any impact at all. No one saw her at all.
She just stood there quietly, not knowing how long it had been.
Although Pei Ziyun was not sure of her identity, she was very similar to the mysterious lady he met last time, but a little different. In short, this kind of appearance was not that of a mortal. He immediately walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Dear Madam , what are your orders when you come here?"
The mysterious veiled lady was very satisfied with Pei Ziyun's attitude and said, "Paris, have you heard the prophecy? You robbed Helen, and your city is about to be destroyed."
The lady's tone was calm, and she walked to the deck. The breeze blew her, and her long hair was gently blown by the wind, floating in the air. Pei Ziyun even smelled the fragrance, but the sailors around him still didn't see her.
"Dear lady, the great sea god Nereus told me that there is a hero who can prevent the destruction of the city. I want to be this hero." Pei Ziyun said.
"Your idea is very good, but how do you know that this hero is you? And you can't be this hero just because you want to be. You must have certain abilities. The most important thing is whether fate will choose him."
The mysterious lady said, she waved her hand again, stopped talking, and continued: "In Greece, Menelaus has cried to Agamemnon, and Agamemnon has also sent envoys to contact princes and princes all over Greece. Hero, prepare to attack you and Troy."
She paused, stared into Pei Ziyun's eyes, and said seriously: "Even so, do you still want to resist? Do you still think you have the power to resist?"
"Of course, I will fight hard until the end of my destiny. Even if fate does not choose me in the end, I will never regret it until death. I would rather die fighting than live cowardly."
The mysterious lady's pupils shrank slightly, apparently not expecting Paris's determination. She could feel that what Paris said was absolutely true. Faced with the choice of fate, he would choose this way.
"But you may not be able to return to Troy. Helen's brothers Castor and Polydeuces have already caught up." The mysterious lady seemed to want to intimidate.
Pei Ziyun was startled when he heard this and his expression changed, but he came back to his senses in a flash.
"The coast of Troy, the island of Lesburg, I seem to remember something."
"No wonder we encountered such a huge storm last night. It was obviously Poseidon who took action. Yesterday's storm was Poseidon killing the sons of Zeus - Castor and Polydeuces?"
"How strong are these two heroes?"
"If my guess is correct, then Helen's brothers, Castor and Polydeuces, have actually perished in the sea at this moment?"
"It sank into the sea no more than a dozen nautical miles away from her."
Thinking about it, Pei Ziyun said slowly: "Dear lady, I believe that Helen's brothers Castor and Polydeuces, two great legendary heroes, must have benevolent characters, and they will definitely give me a chance to explain. If They still refuse to forgive me, and even if I face them, I will never retreat."
"Really? Paris, I'm looking forward to your performance!" The mysterious lady smiled, and the shadow in the water slowly disappeared in front of Pei Ziyun's eyes, as if it had never appeared before.
"Who could this mysterious lady be? Gaia? Or a more mysterious goddess?" Pei Ziyun shook his head slightly, putting these thoughts behind him and ignoring them for the time being.
At this moment, someone pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted: "Prince Paris, there are corpses on the sea."
At this time, the visibility on the sea was very high. Pei Ziyun looked out from a distance and saw several floating corpses appearing on the sea in the distance.
Along with the floating corpses, there are pieces of sampans floating on the sea. A discerning person can tell at a glance that these people's boats were swallowed up by the storm last night.
If Pei Ziyun realized something, he ordered: "Go to the sea quickly and fish out the body."
The sailors and slaves took orders one after another and rowed several small boats to salvage the corpses in the distance. Pei Ziyun also set sail for the warships and followed them. He wanted to take a closer look to confirm whether Helen's brother Castor was among the corpses. and Polydeuces.
Helen woke up somehow. She came out of the room, her face was pale, and she said, "Paris, I'm flustered. I just had a nightmare."
Pei Ziyun felt a chill in his heart and said comfortingly: "My dear, maybe you didn't sleep well last night. You were too tired last night. Go back and have a good rest."
Helen shook her head, and suddenly found that the battleship had set sail, and the ship in the distance was still being salvaged on the sea, and asked: "What are you doing?"
Pei Ziyun said: "My dear, please go back to the room quickly. I just saw the ship that sank in the storm last night and the crew were preparing to salvage it and bury it."
Helen listened to Pei Ziyun's suggestion and was about to go back to the room, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped for some reason. With a pale face, she watched the sailors and slaves fish out the bodies from the sea one by one to the deck.
These corpses had not been floating on the sea for long, and each of them looked pale and swollen. Due to the storm, their corpses had not been swallowed by sea fish, so they looked clear and unmistakable.
"Ah." Suddenly, Helen screamed and she fainted. Pei Ziyun quickly hugged Helen and turned to look at the two corpses he had just salvaged.
The two corpses were still lifelike after being soaked in sea water for a night. They were not white and swollen like other corpses. Pei Ziyun held the unconscious Helen and looked at the corpses of the two legendary heroes and felt them carefully.
"These are the bodies of Castor and Polydeuces? Indeed, one can tell at a glance the difference between a mighty hero and an ordinary mortal."
"Even if the body is dead, I can still feel that the body still has a power twice as strong as mine!"
Pei Ziyun was finally able to feel the power of the legendary hero up close, which gave him another intuitive experience of the levels of power in the Greek world.
"Even if I die, I can still feel the powerful blood in my body. Now I can only harvest the soul - I feel that this is very restrictive. In the Greek world, the body and blood are the foundation of power."
"And harvesting souls will cause great hidden dangers. The gods attach great importance to souls. If you continue to harvest like this, sooner or later you will be discovered."
"It would be great if I could harvest the bloodline. The power hidden in it is not bad."
"I could feel the power evaporating from the body very quickly, and the body would be cremated or rot, and that would be a waste."
Just then I thought about it. When the system moved, a plum blossom appeared in front of my eyes. It zoomed in quickly and turned into a data frame with a faint light.
"The gods attach great importance to the souls of heroes. Their eyes are everywhere. Facing these eyes, you will have nothing to do. Spend 5 destiny points and you will change the harvesting method. You will only harvest the hero's bloodline and not the soul. Yes/ no!"
Pei Ziyun was startled: "Is it okay to harvest blood without harvesting souls? This relieves my worries. If I continue to harvest souls in front of the gods like last time, I will definitely be discovered if I do it too many times."
Pei Ziyun thought about it and looked at the destiny points he had at this time. There were only seven points, but he clicked them heavily without hesitation.
There was no intuitive change at the moment. He faced the corpse and secretly shouted: "Harvest!"
Nothing has changed.
Pei Ziyun frowned and understood the information: "In the Greek world, if it's not me or someone I send to kill, harvesting cannot be done, and the kill factor must exceed 50% to harvest? Is this a restriction given to me by the system? Or is it the system? Have to obey some kind of rules?”
"It's a pity about the bloodline in front of me. Maybe we can only see the difference next time when we hunt heroes."
The heroes in this world all contain a trace of the blood of the gods, including Paris himself, who has the blood of Zeus. He only needs to harvest a certain number of heroes, and he may usher in an earth-shaking qualitative change.
