olympus
On the magnificent throne in the palace, Zeus closed his eyes.
"Aren't you going to watch anymore?" Hermes held the exquisite golden harp in his arms, and his fingers carelessly plucked the strings.
"Kyknos has been hit by the arrow of Hercules, which is soaked in the poisonous blood of Hydra. Unless he is a god, he will inevitably die."
The poisonous blood of Hydra Hydra is ineffective against gods, and at most it only brings a little pain.
"Since Poseidon did not interfere, there is nothing to see. Mortals always think that we are always watching, but even gods have no reason to be so busy working."
Zeus stared at the thick clouds, which were infiltrated with red: "There is more and more blood in the war, and even the clouds have turned blood color."
"Respectable father, according to your plan, not much blood will be shed."
"Hermes, you are right, but everything has gone smoothly recently. The Greeks' death letter has been delivered to Greece, and many city-states have decided to increase their troops or participate." Zeus raised the golden wine cup and drank it down: "...This is all good."
"Everything will be as you wish, supreme god." Hermes said with a smile.
Troy Palace
Pei Ziyun escorted Kuknos back to the palace. At this time, Kuknos was already on the hospital bed, and the best doctor in the palace was invited to treat him.
At this moment, even the iron-clad Cynos could only lie on the bed and moan in the face of the severe poison and pain. In such a short time, the wound had already festered, which showed the fierce poison on the bow and arrow.
The doctors used many medicines, many of them secret from the royal palace, but none of them could stop the deterioration of Kuknos' wound, let alone treat it.
"King Priam, we have tried our best. The poison in King Cynos is too strong, unlike the poison in the world. This kind of poison can only be treated by the gods, otherwise it will be almost difficult to prevent the wound from getting worse. ." said an older doctor.
Priam nodded heavily and thanked the doctor for his help.
Several doctors said goodbye to Priam one after another, with helpless expressions on their faces. It was not that they did not want to treat Cynos, but that they did not have the ability to do so.
"Paris, how did King Cynos get injured?" Priam asked Pei Ziyun who was standing aside.
"Father, King Kynos was attacked by a guy named Philoctetes with a bow and arrow." Pei Ziyun said.
"Damn Greeks, but isn't Kynos invulnerable? How could he be wounded by a bow and arrow?"
"Father, invulnerability is relative. Even Cynos cannot resist the weapons of gods. These are the bows and arrows of Heracles soaked in the poisonous blood of Hydra, which broke through the invulnerable skin of King Cynos. Even though it was only a small scratch, it also caused the toxin to spread to the body.”
"Although it has been a long time since Heracles was soaked in the venomous blood of Hydra, and the toxicity has been reduced, it is not something we can cure. Maybe Poseidon will give him grace."
Pei Ziyun said with a shiver in his heart. Historically, Prince Paris's last death was when he was hit by the arrow of Heracles. But by that time, he could still carry Paris to Mount Ida and struggle for a long time before dying. The toxicity may be further reduced.
"No wonder it is so. If we had known that the Greeks were hiding this hand, maybe Kynos would not have been attacked by surprise." Priam said sadly.
"Now we can only wait for the grace of Poseidon. He is the son of Poseidon. I believe that Poseidon will send grace and provide treatment."
If something happened to Cyclonus in Troy, it would be a heavy blow to his morale. King Priam wanted to do his best to rescue Cyclonus.
At this moment, a person hurried in. It was the priest sent by Priam to sacrifice at the Temple of Poseidon. He bowed and said: "King, after we sacrifice, the Temple of Poseidon No reaction was seen.”
"How could this be?" King Priam's pupils shrank slightly. This is the son of Poseidon. Are all gods so cold
However, he could only think about this in his mind and did not dare to say it out loud. Pei Ziyun knew in his heart that the appearance of Cynos had seriously damaged the balance between the two parties. The gods could not tolerate his survival, but he could not say it out loud either.
"No need to go in vain. I went against my father's will and came to participate in this battle. My father warned me last time and used wind and waves to blow me back. But this time I came again. What will happen to me?" There is only one, and that is death." Cynos seemed to have figured it out and whispered.
Everyone felt sad as they listened to Cynos's words. What a brave hero he once was, he could only lie in bed dying.
"Is there no better way?" Priam muttered.
"Father, Apollo is the god of medicine. Maybe you can go to the temple and try." Hector, who had been silent, said.
Everyone knew that Apollo had always protected Troy. In addition, Apollo was the god of medicine, so everyone had the idea of treating a dead horse as a living doctor.
"Then please ask the priests to go to the Temple of Apollo to offer sacrifices. We will offer bulls and gold." Priam said, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.
"It's useless." Pei Ziyun thought to himself and sighed softly. Cynos must die, because this is the will of the gods. No amount of bulls and gold will help.
Cynos, who was lying on the bed, seemed to have understood his fate. He struggled and said: "King Priam, Prince Paris, my Kingdom of Corona, my son is still young and cannot cope with it." As things stand now, the Greeks will take revenge..."
Kynos's voice became weaker and weaker as he spoke, and he no longer had the strength to speak. In such a short time, the once powerful hero had become so weak.
The power of this poison made everyone take a breath.
If anyone on the battlefield was shot by Philoctetes, would they have to face the same situation as Cynos
Is the venomous blood of Hydra so poisonous
At this time, Pei Ziyun walked to Cynos' bedside and said loudly: "King Cynos, my ally, my friend, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I will try my best to protect your son." and the city, to prevent its destruction at the hands of the Greeks.”
Pei Ziyun said categorically that Kynos was a Trojan ally. In history, his family and the city-state were destroyed by the revenge of the Greeks, but now, he had to work hard to change some of his fate - Kynos was dead. I won't spoil the entire script anymore. I don't believe that Poseidon doesn't care about his son or grandson at all.
Sure enough, as soon as he said the words, 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 his eyes.
"Mission: Protect the city-state of Koronai and the son of Cynos (unfinished)"
Hearing this, Kuknos showed a smile of relief.
With Prince Paris's words, he could feel at ease. He could see that Prince Paris meant what he said, and after many battles together, he knew that Prince Paris also had this power.
"Prince Paris, you are truly my most respectable friend. Now my pain is unbearable and there is no cure. Please help me end this painful life."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and waited for the end of the unbearable pain.
Cynos's request made Pei Ziyun's heart move slightly. Cynos is a very powerful hero. It can be said that one person's energy is equivalent to several heroes like Menelaus.
I can help him end his pain and harvest the power of his bloodline. This is Poseidon's son, so it is obvious that this will help him.
Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly saw a phantom under the pillars in the distance waving his hand from the corner of his eye. Pei Ziyun's heart moved and he stopped and said, "King Kynos, don't give up easily. There are still people in the Temple of Apollo." If he doesn’t come back, he might bring good news.”
"I'm going to the palace gate now to see if the priest who went to the Temple of Apollo has returned." Pei Ziyun said and left the room.
When he came to the shadow of the distant pillar, he happened to see the mysterious woman from last time standing there, seemingly waiting for him.
The mysterious woman was still wearing a black robe, with a veil covering her face. People passing by turned a blind eye and could not see her at all.
Although Pei Ziyun was suspicious of her identity, he could not confirm it. He bowed to her respectfully and said, "Dear Madam, we meet again."
The mysterious woman spoke: "Paris, you don't need to see the temple of Apollo. Cynos has violated the will of the gods. Apollo will not fight against the gods for a mortal. Poseidon is not willing to save him. Apollo He’s already dead if he doesn’t know how to save him.”
"But just now, did you want to agree to Cynos' request and kill him?"
Just as Pei Ziyun nodded, he heard the mysterious woman say again: "Do you know the consequences of killing a son of God?"
"The consequences of killing the Son of God?" Pei Ziyun was thinking, and was reminded by the mysterious woman's words, and suddenly woke up.
In Greek mythology, all those who kill the sons of gods, as long as they are not gods, will receive tragic retribution, without exception.
Those who killed the son of Zeus and the son of Poseidon suffered a brutal death. Only a normal person like Odysseus could survive.
In the Battle of Troy, not only must one's strength be inconspicuous, but one's hands must be stained with as little blood as possible.
Not only the Son of God, but also those who are favored by God, if they kill, they will also offend that God. If they offend too much, they will naturally die.
Pei Ziyun's heart trembled. The fog of the Trojan War dissipated immediately, but he had to be stained with blood. Not only was he stained with blood, but he also had to be stained with more blood than others. Only in this way could he rapidly improve his strength, so he murmured: "But , this is a secret arrow shot by Philoctetes, there is no way to cure it, and this is Cycnos’s own request.”
