After the battle, the Trojans took off their armor and held a funeral ceremony.
Pei Ziyun and Aeneas bathed, washed away the dust and blood, and slaughtered the pigs and sheep on the ship, and also killed the bulls as sacrifices to the gods.
According to Greek legend, one cannot enter the underworld of Hades without a funeral!
The two ordered the warriors to cut down the wood and chop it into firewood. The ordinary warriors piled it on the firewood, while the seven heroes were able to have a special corpse bed, which was also smeared with ointment and buried with gifts.
Pei Ziyun ordered all the warriors to put on armor and chariots, pay tribute to the deceased, step back, cut off a lock of his hair, look at the sea, and said: "Ah, princes and heroes, you and I are bound by fate. Massacre, now, please don’t be offended and accept our sacrifice!”
So saying, the wood was lighted, and while the pyre was burning to ashes, the hero's bones were placed in a box, and a tomb was built with stones and earth.
After all this was done, Pei Ziyun and Aeneas parted ways and left by boat, truly heading to the Amazon in one boat.
The ship is sailing on the vast sea. From time to time, a wave of blue water rises and slaps on the bow of the ship. The weather is clear and the sky is cloudless. The dark blue sky and the blue water complement each other, and finally merge into the sky, making people full of reverie. .
Pei Ziyun stood on the deck, overlooking the gem-like blue sea, quietly lost in thought. It wasn't until the ship sailed for a long time that he wiped his sweat and felt relieved.
"Finally no god is looking at me, and the last sight is Hephaestus?"
From the time Pei Ziyun implemented this plan, gods have been watching every move until he left Tenedos Island. Although the gods were not stared at as much as when he was on the island, the vague attention still appeared from time to time, and until this time , this suppressed feeling was completely released.
"Strange, I feel hatred, why? Among the people I killed, who was related to it?" Pei Ziyun thought in confusion. He really didn't know who he had killed and offended Hephaestus.
The sons of Diocreus were Creton and Orsikoros, Telepalmus the son of Hercules, Teucer the half-brother of Ajax, and three other heroes who were not even princes. .
"Ajax's half-brother Teucer may have some blood from Hephaestus, but he's not close either."
"The other heroic bloodlines are even further away from Hephaestus. Maybe there are other reasons for the hatred?"
"Yes, I killed seven heroes by clever means. Each of them was favored by the gods. In other words, I at least offended a few gods."
When Pei Ziyun implemented this plan, he thought that killing these heroes might offend the gods.
But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He can obtain the power of these heroes openly and openly. He will definitely not give up and can only give it a go.
"Even if I have the protection of Apollo, am in line with Zeus's wishes, and have done this in the name of Ares, if I continue to stay in Troy, I'm afraid I will encounter the same problem. The black hand of the gods.”
"Leave Troy now and go to the Amazon Kingdom just to avoid the limelight."
Pei Ziyun has thought these things through clearly, and now staying away from Troy can be a good protection for himself.
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun shouted: "System"
Following the call, a plum blossom quickly appeared in front of me, and it quickly enlarged and transformed into an information frame with a faint sense of light. I took a closer look.
"Heroic Bloodline: Level 5 (191.7%)"
"Revenge mission: In the name of Ares and Queen Penthesilea, divide Achilles and Agamemnon, annihilate a Greek team, and deal a heavy blow to the Greek coalition (completed)"
"It's actually almost the seventh floor now. The growth below requires more and more power. But if you kill seven heroes, you can at least reach the eighth floor, and maybe even a few more."
Pei Ziyun fell into deep thought, looked at the task again, and clicked it heavily.
"Three destiny points, this reward is very rich. Now there are 23 destiny points. There are only two destiny points left before the oracle is issued."
olympus
The gods gathered for banquets in mountaintop palaces, so that banquets were held on Mount Olympus at regular intervals.
Zeus sat on a throne of gold and ivory, and the gods sat around. Apollo played his harp, the beautiful Carites danced, and the soft and sweet songs of the Muses intoxicated the gods.
As the war continued, the red blood mist in the center of the banquet became thicker and thicker, which showed that more and more people died in this war.
This is a good thing for Zeus, who wants to use this to weaken the influence of human heroes.
In the red blood mist in the center of the banquet, the scene finally freezes with Pei Ziyun standing on the deck overlooking the sea. The gods all withdrew their gazes and no longer paid attention to Pei Ziyun's movements.
In this battle, the gods did not react much. Everyone knew Zeus's intentions, and no one would get into trouble and oppose Pei Ziyun.
In this case, you are openly opposing the will of Zeus, and you will be the unlucky one.
All the gods would be silent, except for one god, the fire god Hephaestus, who looked at Pei Ziyun with hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Apollo looked at Vulcan's hateful eyes and felt a little strange. As far as he knew, none of the heroes killed by Paris were anyone close to Hephaestus
Artemis seemed to understand the confusion in Apollo's heart. She patted Apollo's arm, pointed at Aphrodite, the god of love, and smiled.
Apollo looked enlightened, understanding why Hephaestus hated Paris.
Aphrodite liked brave and handsome young men, and Pei Ziyun became more and more in line with the beauty god's aesthetics. She looked at Pei Ziyun with tenderness in her eyes.
But the fire god Hephaestus saw the way Aphrodite looked at Pei Ziyun, and his heart was full of jealousy.
As we all know, Hephaestus loved his wife Aphrodite so much that he hated anyone who caught his wife's eye.
Pei Ziyun attracted the attention of the God of Love, which made the God of Fire Hephaestus full of hatred for Pei Ziyun.
"Poor Paris, he unknowingly offended another god." Apollo shook his head helplessly. The gods Paris had offended now included Hera and Hephaestus.
Although Apollo promised to protect Paris, if Paris offended too many gods, he would not be able to protect him forever. Fortunately, Zeus is still protecting him, so he does not have to worry about Paris' safety.
In the Trojan War, Paris had killed many heroes, and among these killed heroes, more or less had the blood of gods. Now Zeus still needs Paris to continue to live, and no one among the gods has responded. Paris takes action. Once Zeus feels that Paris's existence has become dispensable, Pei Ziyun's situation will be in danger.
Even with Apollo's protection, safety cannot be guaranteed.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very strong. The gods ate the fruits and barbecues on the table with smiles on their faces, and tasted the fine wine in their hands. For eternal life, the Trojan War was just a touch of embellishment in their lives. will have any impact on them.
The gods only need to occasionally pay attention to the progress of the war when they have nothing to do. At other times, they will focus on it when major events that determine the direction of the war happen.
At this moment, Hera stood up smoothly, walked to Zeus, and helped him fill a glass of wine. Zeus drank the wine in one gulp, and the well-behaved Hera had already peeled off a grape and sent it to Zeus. In the mouth.
"Dear God, great Zeus, your punishment on the Greeks should be over, right?" Hera asked in a timely manner.
"No, the Greeks will still have to be attacked until they send for Achilles."
In Zeus's heart, Achilles is the most dangerous among human heroes. Only by letting Achilles participate in the battle can he weaken Troy and continue to accumulate the hatred of the gods towards Achilles.
By then, if Achilles is eliminated in one fell swoop, the problem will be solved.
When Hera heard Zeus' words, her heart couldn't help but know that Zeus had already made up his mind, and no matter how she tried to persuade him, it might not have any effect.
Zeus scanned the gods in the banquet hall with his majestic eyes and spoke slowly: "You all listen, if anyone dares to help the Trojans or Greeks during this period, I will throw him into Tartarus."
Tartarus is synonymous with hell and the body of hell.
After hearing Zeus's words, the gods couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. They knew that during this period of time, they could not easily intervene in the war between Greece and Troy.
The banquet lasted for a while before it came to an end, and all the gods returned to their mansions on Mount Olympus with complicated emotions.
Zeus and other gods left, and said to Hermes who had not left yet: "You help me watch them. There is no room for mistakes in this Trojan War. If anyone among them causes trouble, you must tell them immediately." I."
After Zeus finished speaking, he turned and left the palace on the top of the mountain. Outside the palace, a thunderous golden car was quietly parked at the door of the palace.
Zeus boarded the Thunder Golden Chariot, and the golden chariot started slowly. In less than a moment, it flew into the void at lightning speed.
Mount Ida
Mount Aida is very large. There is a temple of Zeus on one of the tops of the mountains. The temple is a building supported by marble columns. The five steps are paved with a layer of white marble. The entire temple is shrouded in a In the breath of holiness.
The sacred forest outside the temple is filled with various plants, and many bright flowers are placed on the road to the sacred forest. At this time, fairies are taking care of and decorating these neatly arranged flowers.
Zeus rode the Thunder Golden Chariot, galloping in the sky, and soon arrived at the top of Mount Ada. Although the Thunder Golden Chariot was huge and galloping in mid-air, it was invisible to mortals.
Zeus drove his thundering golden chariot to the Temple of Mount Ida slowly, walked into the temple, sat on the marble throne of the temple, majestically looked down at the city of Troy and the Greek camp below from the top of the high mountain, and measured Based on the balance of power between the two sides, do things that are in the interests of yourself and the gods.
