Calypso invited Pei Ziyun to her palace, but Pei Ziyun hesitated and did not move his heels. After all, he was quite scrupulous about this goddess.
Although the mysterious lady said that she would entertain him, he was afraid that like Odysseus, she would force him to stay here by some unknown means, and he couldn't afford to wait.
Calypso saw Pei Ziyun standing there hesitantly and knew she was worried. She shook her head and smiled: "Prince Paris, don't be afraid! The sky, the earth and the underworld can all testify for me that I will not harm you." you."
When Pei Ziyun heard what she said, he knew that he might be overthinking it, but it was his usual approach to be careful not to make big mistakes.
Calypso turned around and left. Pei Ziyun thought for a while, and now he was living on Ogygia Island. This was Calypso's territory. If he wanted to leave, he must have her help.
And if he didn't have her permission, it would be difficult to repair the damaged ship. Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun followed behind and slowly walked towards the palace.
Calypso's palace was not far away. After about ten minutes, Pei Ziyun saw a forest. This forest was very beautiful, full of poplars and cypress trees.
From a distance, the palace is located in the dense shade of poplars and cypresses. The poplars and cypresses sing from time to time, and many birds perch on these poplars and cypresses.
Their voices are crisp and graceful, which makes people feel not bored at all, but rather relaxed and happy.
In addition to birds with beautiful feathers perched on the trees, there are also crows, and of course there are eagles circling in the taller trees.
Pei Ziyun walked into the woods and approached the palace. He found that in front of the palace was a vast grassland. The grassland was covered with viola, parsley and poisonous weeds. Several mountain streams meandered down from the mountains and flowed through this grassland. , heading towards the sea.
There are grape vines planted at the door. The grape vines are entangled among the rugged rocks, and clusters of crystal grapes hang under the green branches and leaves.
Pei Ziyun stepped up the three steps, stepped into the arched door, and entered the palace.
Walking into the small hall, Pei Ziyun found that Calypso had prepared a banquet. There were barbecues and fine wine on the table. Calypso and Calypso were seated separately. Before Calypso could raise his glass, Pei Ziyun raised his glass first and said: " Beautiful goddess Calypso, thank you very much for your warm hospitality."
"I was attacked by a storm and a sea monster, which caused the ship to leak. I came to the island of Ogygia. I hope to get your permission to cut down trees on the island to repair the damaged ship."
After Pei Ziyun finished speaking, he drank down the wine in his hand, placed his right hand on his left chest, bent slightly and bowed to show respect.
"Prince, you came to my island. This is fate. I promise you that you can cut down trees on my island."
"Honorable and beautiful Calypso, thank you very much for your generosity."
"Prince, I have something to ask you. I wonder if you can promise me?" Calypso drank a glass of wine.
"Here we come." Pei Ziyun knew that nothing good was going to happen, so he put down his wine glass: "Respectable and beautiful Calypso, I will help you as long as I can with what you said."
Calypso smiled slightly and said: "Prince, I was imprisoned by my father and could not leave this island. Can you help me break this imprisonment?"
When Pei Ziyun heard Calypso's request, he instinctively wanted to say that this request was not something that his current ability could solve.
But at this moment, the system was shaken, and a plum appeared in front of me. It quickly enlarged and turned into a translucent information frame with a faint sense of light. There was a task display on the information section.
"The Captivity of Calypso, 0/3."
Pei Ziyun was a little surprised. This time the system mission prompt did not seem to require breaking Calypso's imprisonment.
He felt that there were at least three situations that would arise in the face of this mission, which meant that he had many choices. He would no longer have to complete a specific mission like before, and there was not much room for choice.
Pei Ziyun shook his head and changed his mind. Originally, he planned to refuse directly, but since the system gave him a prompt, he felt that he should do something.
This does not change his original intention of not helping Calypso break out of captivity in the first place, because he does not have this ability at all, but there are system task prompts that can make certain fine-tuning.
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun nodded and smiled: "Honorable Calypso, the king of gods has gained the right to rule the world, and will naturally reduce and control the old gods."
"But this is not a generalization. Even the king of gods is actually a descendant of the Titans."
"If nothing else, you should know that there is a person in a similar situation to you. I just met her on the island. She is further away than you?"
"Is it Thetis?" Calypso pondered for a moment and said.
"Yes, that's her, Thetis, the daughter of Nereus, the sea god, and Doris, the sea goddess."
"Her family background is actually similar to yours. The reason why she can move freely is only because of her meritorious service. She summoned the hundred-armed giant and joined the camp of the King of Gods."
"If fate hadn't destined her to become a hotbed this time, she would have gained greater trust."
Calypso listened thoughtfully and said: "What you are saying is that many of the old gods who stand in the camp of the King of Gods have been recognized."
"But I'm too late—anything else?"
"And, more importantly, she is not as powerful as you."
"You know, being powerful and uncontrollable makes people fearful. And since you are so powerful and have not made any contributions to Mount Olympus, you are naturally restricted."
"I don't know if your father had any other intentions when he imprisoned you, but part of his intention should be to protect you." Pei Ziyun said.
After listening to Pei Ziyun's words, Calypso showed a trace of thought and said: "Prince Paris, you are right. If my father had not imprisoned me on this island over the years, maybe I would have been imprisoned by Austria. The gods of Mount Lympus suppressed it.”
"Yes, goddess, your existence is an uncertain factor, and you have not proven your worth to Olympus, so Thetis can get her freedom, but you have to be imprisoned here."
Calypso heard Pei Ziyun say this and replied: "Prince, you are right, but what should I do now?"
Pei Ziyun thought for a while: "Beautiful goddess, you should move closer to Mount Olympus. As long as you can show your goodwill, with your strength and status as a goddess, you should be able to gain freedom, at least partial freedom."
"Then how can I make the gods of Olympus think that I am moving closer to them?" Calypso asked.
"Goddess, this requires your wisdom. Doing everything that is in line with the wishes of the gods is to draw closer to them, instead of going against them behind their backs."
Calypso thought about it for so many years, and found out that he had really been going against the gods for many years, so he naturally had some concerns in his heart.
After Pei Ziyun finished speaking, he stopped talking and waited quietly for Calypso's answer.
"Prince, I understand everything you said. Thank you very much for explaining to me clearly what I should do, so that I am no longer confused. You will gain my friendship."
Pei Ziyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but he did not dare to be careless.
In Pirates of the Caribbean, Davy Jones fell in love with Calypso, and voluntarily agreed to serve as the captain of the "Flying Dutchman", and extradited the dead to the underworld for Calypso at sea. The price was that he could only dock once every ten years, and as a To make amends, Calypso will meet him.
Ten years later, Davy Jones went to the appointment as scheduled, but found that Calypso did not keep the appointment. He felt that the goddess had betrayed him. In despair, Davy Jones dug out his own heart and told the method of sealing Calypso in revenge. Nine pirate kings gave birth to a series of stories.
As for why the goddess did not go to the appointment, Davy Jones actually gave the answer. Davy Jones asked Calypso why he did not go to the appointment. Calypso said: "This is my nature."
And said: "If I were not the original me, would you still love me?"
What she actually means is that the goddess of the sea is unpredictable and even she cannot control her fickleness. Therefore, Odysseus, who was protected by Athena in history, was warned by Hermes many times - You can only trust her if you make her swear!
Because God swore an oath, if he did not implement it, he would be swallowed up by the tenth tributary of the River Styx, and he would lie breathless for a whole year without saying a word.
At the end of a long morbid year, there were nine more years of severance from the immortal gods, no participation in meetings or feasts, and only in the tenth year could they rejoin the gathering of the gods.
But Odysseus could only achieve this with the protection of Athena, but he did not have the power to force her to swear. He had to rush back to Troy as soon as possible. He could not delay here to avoid long nights and dreams. At that moment, Pei Ziyun said bluntly: "Dear goddess , I raise a glass of wine to you, hoping you can let me go."
Calypso nodded, smiled, and said: "Prince, you are right, I will not stop you from leaving, but I have no sailors and no ship, so I can only give you a smooth journey."
Pei Ziyun didn't realize what she meant by smooth sailing, thinking it was just a polite word of courtesy, but Calypso's next move surprised him slightly.
I saw Calypso slowly getting up from his seat and walking towards Pei Ziyun gracefully. When he walked in front of Pei Ziyun, Calypso looked at Pei Ziyun and was about to kiss Pei Ziyun on the cheek. .
This move was completely beyond Pei Ziyun's expectations. He did not expect that Calypso would come and kiss him when he said he would have smooth sailing.
Then Pei Ziyun reacted: "Maybe this kiss is a blessing, which will make my sailing on the sea smooth. After all, she is a goddess of the sea."
But he immediately thought of Odysseus falling in love with Calypso here and staying here for seven years. This was something he couldn't tolerate.
"If we kiss him, will she change her mind immediately?" Pei Ziyun glanced at the system and saw no response, knowing that this would not be related to the mission.
So she quickly got up to avoid it and said: "Dear goddess, your situation is very difficult, so don't use your kindness on me. A favorable wind is not big, but it may deepen the misunderstanding of Mount Olympus. "
Calypso was slightly stunned, apparently not expecting Pei Ziyun to reject her kindness. After hearing this, she reacted thoughtfully. .
Pei Ziyun avoided Calypso's kiss, and without waiting for Calypso to think about it, he quickly said: "Beautiful goddess, thank you for your warm hospitality. If there is nothing else, I will leave."
After saying that, he bowed to Calypso, turned around and left Calypso's palace.
