Pei Ziyun's warship sailed through the sea and stopped at the port of Themischira in the Amazon. The horn sounded at the port, and a group of female warriors stood in the port holding weapons to greet them.
Pei Ziyun was wearing a white tunic, leather armor, and a short sword. He came down from the battleship holding the urn of Queen Penthesilea with a solemn expression on his face.
As soon as he stepped off the battleship, a figure rushed up to him, crying: "Sister!"
Pei Ziyun looked like Princess Hippolyta, and she was crying very sadly.
"Princess Hippolyta, your sister Penthesilea has just returned to the arms of your father Ares. You don't have to be too sad." Pei Ziyun said with a sinking heart.
Hippolyta wiped the tears from her face and said, "Prince Paris, thank you very much for sending your sister back. Let's go to the palace."
Pei Ziyun nodded, without saying much, and got on the chariot with Hippolyta, heading to the Amazon Palace. The Amazon Palace was as simple as before, with more than a dozen low buildings surrounding it, and a large garden in the middle. In the main hall of the palace, Hippolyta brought Pei Ziyun in. A dozen Amazon elders had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Pei Ziyun coming in holding the urn of Queen Penthesilea, they all shouted with sad voices.
"Queen."
"Queen."
Pei Ziyun remained silent, waiting for them to recover, and then held a simple yet grand handover ceremony, solemnly handing the urn in Hippolyta's hands to Hippolyta.
"It was me who failed to take good care of her, which led to her being brutally murdered by Achilles, but I have sworn to your father Ares that I will avenge Queen Penthesilea."
"I have killed seven heroes to avenge her, and your father gave your sister armor and weapons, which I also sent back to you."
In the hands of several servants, it was Penthesilea's armor and weapons, which shone with a faint golden light in the hall. Several servants were holding trays with gold and bronze covered with white silk cloth.
"Queen Penthesilea helped Troy fight against the Greeks. These gifts are to show our apology." Pei Ziyun said.
Hippolyta was holding her sister's urn, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, her sister's voice and smile were still vivid in her mind. In the blink of an eye, life and death were separated, which made people sigh and sigh.
At the end of all the handover ceremonies, an elder stood up and said: "Princess Hippolyta, the Amazon Kingdom cannot be left without a master for a day. I hope you can become our new queen."
After saying that, the elder knelt down and saluted, supporting Hippolyta as the new queen, while the other Amazon elders and female warriors all responded and expressed their approval.
Hippolyta is the daughter of Ares and the sister of Queen Penthesilea. Whether she is a god or a king, she is the perfect candidate to become the new queen of the Amazons in all aspects.
Hippolyta also knew this and did not delay. She nodded and said, "Thank you for your love. I will definitely fulfill my sister's unfinished wish and lead our Amazon Kingdom to become stronger."
"Queen Hippolyta." Everyone bowed to meet the new queen Hippolyta. The city-state's ceremony was not that complicated. At this moment, Hippolyta was crowned king.
"Historically, Penthesilea killed Hippolyta and died in Troy, and then her son Askaraphos died. Ares's bloodline was greatly weakened."
"Now, at least the Amazon bloodline has been preserved." Pei Ziyun just thought about it and listened to Hippolyta say: "I have chosen a cemetery for my sister. It is in the sacred grove of my father's temple. Let her You will always be by your father’s side, and you can go with me to bury my sister.”
Pei Ziyun nodded and went to the temple of Ares with Queen Hippolyta.
Temple of Ares Sacred Grove
The priest placed the urn of Queen Penthesilea into the cemetery that had been prepared long ago, raised his hands to the sky, and prayed silently.
The burial ceremony was very simple and was over in less than a moment.
"Prince Paris, I want to continue to lead our Amazon warriors to Troy to resist the Greeks and avenge my sister." Hippolyta suddenly turned around and said.
Hearing this, all the elders were in an uproar. Seeing this, Pei Ziyun waved his hands and said decisively: "Amazon has lost a queen and cannot lose another queen. If you still want to take revenge, please ask the great Ares, give me this responsibility."
Pei Ziyun prevented Hippolyta from going to Troy to participate in the war. With the involvement of city-states and kingdoms in the war, the Trojan War is now more chaotic than in previous years. If you are not careful, you may lose your life there.
The power of Amazon is not strong, and without it, it will not have much impact on Troy today.
And Pei Ziyun didn't want the new queen of the Amazons to appear on the Trojan battlefield. If something went wrong, Ares would be dissatisfied with him.
"Queen Hippolyta, now that the war between Troy and Greece requires me to return and serve, I have delivered it. I will leave now." Seeing the elders heaving a sigh of relief, Pei Ziyun did not want to stay any longer. He knew in his heart that the elders' The idea is - the war between Troy and the Greeks has nothing to do with the Amazons. The original queen has died in the battle, and the new queen can no longer be dragged into the quagmire.
"I have arranged a banquet for you. Why don't you stay and attend the banquet before leaving?" Hippolyta said, feeling disappointed.
"No, Queen Hippolyta, thank you very much for your grand hospitality, but the Trojan War has reached a critical juncture, and I must rush back as soon as possible." Pei Ziyun smiled slightly: "If I can survive this battle, it will not be too late to come back. .”
Queen Hippolyta looked at Pei Ziyun reluctantly. Although she wanted him to stay, she also knew that he was telling the truth. It was impossible for the Amazons to participate in the war again, and Troy urgently needed him to return as soon as possible, so she did not ask him to stay.
But she brought Penthesilea's weapons and armor again, and said: "Prince Paris, take this with you. Wearing it will be equivalent to taking revenge on your father and sister personally."
Pei Ziyun was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, after turning around, the armor and weapons returned to his hands.
But this is a weapon of God after all, and wearing it will greatly improve the combat power. Pei Ziyun did not refuse and took the armor and weapons from Hippolyta.
"Queen Hippolyta, I'll take my leave now." After saying that, he saluted Hippolyta and left.
"Let me give you one as a gift," Hippolyta said.
Pei Ziyun did not refuse, and left the palace with Hippolyta, taking a chariot to the port.
Amazon Port of Themiscyra
The chariot stopped, Pei Ziyun and Hippolyta got off the chariot, Pei Ziyun came to Amazon, and actually only stayed for half a day, because the handover ceremony took some time.
"Paris, will you come to the Amazon to see me again?" Hippolyta asked expectantly.
"Queen Hippolyta, as long as the war is over, I will definitely come to visit you when I have the opportunity." Pei Ziyun said with a smile. He knew Hippolyta's feelings for him, but he was not from this world. Sooner or later, They all want to leave, and they can only live up to Hippolyta's kindness.
Helen was needed because of the plot. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time to deal with these things. But now that he has been with them for a long time, his relationship has also been cultivated.
"Queen Hippolyta, take care." After Pei Ziyun finished speaking, he turned around and boarded the ship.
"Paris, God will bless you to victory, and you must remember to come back to visit me!" Queen Hippolyta chased a few steps and shouted loudly.
Pei Ziyun was already on the ship. Hearing Hippolyta's words, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Set sail." The order to set sail was given, and the ship sailed away from the Amazon port of Themiscyra and headed for Troy.
On the endless sea, waves lapped at the side of the ship, and several seabirds were passing high above the ship.
Pei Ziyun looked at the sea from a distance, and could never appreciate the vastness of the sea enough.
At this time, a phantom appeared on the deck of the ship. The sailors around did not see her, and some even passed through her body without noticing it.
The phantom lady walked up to Pei Ziyun and said, "Paris, your strategy was very good this time. You successfully killed so many Greek heroes under the eyes of the gods."
The moment the phantom lady appeared, Pei Ziyun felt that the full-level priest also sensed her aura.
But he didn't show anything strange, and there was a hint of surprise on his face at the sudden appearance of the phantom lady.
Pei Ziyun did not turn around, looked at the sea in the distance, and said: "Dear Madam, thank you for your compliment. This plan will never happen again. There will never be such a good thing for me next time."
The phantom lady nodded and agreed with Pei Ziyun's statement. It was impossible for the gods to let Paris kill so many Greek heroes at once.
She paused and said, "During your absence, there have been new developments in the Trojan War."
"Achilles was insulted by Agamemnon and angrily withdrew from the war, while Aeneas of Troy, Hector, and Zeus's son Sarpedon all took the opportunity to join the battle. The Greeks suffered a serious defeat. , are holding on to the last line of defense."
Pei Ziyun raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the Trojan War would progress so much in the past few months after he left. According to him, all this was arranged by Zeus, with the purpose of forcing the humiliated Achilles to participate in the war.
He said nothing and listened to the phantom lady.
"And Agamemnon has surrendered to Achilles, compensated the humiliated Achilles with a huge amount of wealth, and promised to marry his daughter to him."
Pei Ziyun did not expect Agamemnon to be so willing, but thinking about it, the Greeks were forced into a desperate situation, and there was no better choice than asking Achilles to come out.
"But Achilles still rejected Agamemnon."
The phantom lady said an unexpected result. Logically speaking, with such a generous offer, Achilles had both face and dignity, so he shouldn't refuse, but in the end he refused.
"Achilles is still too young and full of energy. This is too much." Pei Ziyun couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
