Chapter 491: game

Troy
In the early morning of the next day, the king summoned the People's Square and was busy preparing to sacrifice to Zeus, Poseidon, and Apollo.
The priest brought the cow. It was smooth and muscular, and anyone who had seen it would praise him: "Good cow, good cow!"
It just seemed a little premonition, his eyes looked suspiciously, and hissed from time to time.
Holding the pottery, the priest sprinkled water on the altar, the people attending the ritual, and the cow, and then extended his arms toward the sky.
"Son of Cronus and Rhea, Father of the Gods of Heaven, Supreme Ruler of all things on earth, Lord of Olympus, God of the gods-Zeus the great and resourceful, please accept the humble mortal offering ! "
There was silence all around, everyone prayed seriously, then the priest slaughtered the cow, blood flowed on the altar, and the priest cut out the internal organs and bones one by one and sorted the meat.
Pei Ziyun has a low status and can only watch from a distance. Then, an atheistic world, something that can never happen, happened.
On the altar, the most delicious piece of cattle disappeared.
The priest praised and proclaimed, "The sacrifice works well. God has received the offering."
The parts that are not needed by God will be divided one by one, and a grand feast will be held at the same time. Of course, this feast cannot be participated by ordinary people.
The true history of Greece also slaughtered cattle, sheep, and pigs, and the entrails and bones that were not eaten were used to sacrifice confessions.
On important occasions, the meat will be burned to show piety, but in a real world where God will charge God for the portion he loves to eat, and the rest who do n’t love to eat, everyone can eat.
"Last sacrifice did not seem to have caught the attention of God."
At the gate of the gate, a shepherd came to the crowd and said excitedly: "Paris, the prize for this year's 200-meter race is a sheep, and the champion of the archery competition not only has a cow, but also an additional pair of armor. It may even be possible to represent Troy at the Games in Olympia! "
The flushed tower gate waved his fist to express the excitement in his heart.
"Olympic!" Pei Ziyun was speechless, but in his heart he examined his plan more cautiously. The scene just now hit him a lot.
"This is a world where the gods come and interfere every day."
"The relationship between God and man cannot be guessed with the original world. Fortunately, for the sake of caution, I didn't talk to Gosne deeply, and only asked him to come down to the gods and sing into words."
"In my estimation, this can reduce my responsibility by 70 to 80%."
"Not without further plans, I would also like to say that Paris showed his love to Ononi in the presence of the gods. The maid conferred by the king never touched. His love has stood the test, maybe only the goddess bow Only by hitting his heart can he change his mind. After all, mortals cannot resist God-this passage is sung in advance, which is completely irresponsible. "
"Now I want to come, this is really the way to take death."
"Throwing the black pot completely to God, and debunking the plan ahead of time, will lead to Zeus's killing power. Zeus will kill Paris and choose a new primer to trigger the plot."
"Don't be too valuable in the world of God-because even the biological son of God is a one-time prop on the stage!"
"Simply speaking, Paris showed his love to Ononeg in the presence of the gods, or okay."
Thinking about it this way, Pei Ziyun ran, and there were wrestling, long jump, running, and archery. Many aristocratic youths competed, including the king's son.
Now, today's first race has finally started.
Standing on the starting line, the sides of the track were crowded with cheering crowds, and some even fought to grab a favorable viewing position. The scene was evident on the first day of the competition.
Pei Ziyun is in the original world. He does n’t talk about the blessing of Fa. It is purely physical. Pei Ziyun can guarantee that no one can run.
In this world, there are descendants of God everywhere. Pei Ziyun has no absolute confidence in his heart, but will go all out.
"Paris, come on." Tamen cheered for Paris.
"Paris, I've bet your entire family, you have to win." This was the shout of a gambler in Paris' memory.
With the order of the referee, the preliminary race for the two hundred meters race started quickly.
As soon as the racer rushed out, Pei Ziyun ran lightly at the forefront, always leading in the shouting cheering voice, and finally leading the gap between the second place and two distances, ran past the finish line, and got the audience's hoarse cheers.
Although Paris is a shepherd, this does not affect the shouting of the enthusiastic audience. They cheered and danced, and the moment the Pei Ziyun crossed the finish line, the atmosphere reached an unprecedented climax. Some people are too excited to shout their throats.
This is the enthusiasm of ordinary people for sports in the ancient Greek era. It is impossible to understand the enthusiasm of the ancient Greeks for sports without seeing this scene.
The preliminaries eliminated most of the people. Only the best can participate in each group, and then the official competition will be held. The first place in the 200-meter race will be decided.
Pei Ziyun was sitting and resting, and all of a sudden came over, behind them were two guards, both holding spears and staring fiercely at halfway, making him slightly surprised.
Pei Ziyun patted the tower door, whispered to the person staring at him, "Who is this?"
"Yes, Prince Ifobos," Tamen replied.
"It turned out to be Prince Ifobos." Pei Ziyun sneered slightly. This man was Paris's younger brother. Originally, Paris won the archery match. But he got irritated, waved a spear, and rushed to Paris to stab him .
Paris fled to the altar of Zeus in panic, and met Princess Kassandra. She was a prophet and was spared from recognition. But Paris was timid, and everyone knew that she was put on the hat of a coward, a coward.
Originally, I wanted to change this. Because of this reputation, Paris was destined to have no future in this world-who would follow a coward?
Now it looks like Ifobos is very cooperative!
The finals soon began.
"Quick!" Orders, Pei Ziyun ran out for a moment, around the run, with a faint wind, the audience around them exclaimed and cheered.
The distance of just two hundred meters is just a short distance. With just a few breaths, Pei Ziyun surpassed Prince Ifobos and other contestants. At the end, Pei Ziyun won the first place in the two hundred meter race with a long lead. name.
Everyone cheered, cheered, applauded.
Most people are happy, but some people are angry. Prince Ifobos is now full of face, and the first place in the 200-meter race is already in the bag. I did not expect to kill a shepherd halfway!
If it wasn't for the race and not all the citizens of Mancheng were watching, he would have taught this shepherd fiercely and let him know what is noble and humble!
"when"
A gong sounded and someone shouted, "The next game, archery."
Unlike racing, force is valued in the world. Archery is the most important martial art. Almost all princes will participate in the competition. There are many princes who are superb in archery. Pei Ziyun wants to win first place in the archery competition. Name, the difficulty is much higher than two hundred meters.
In the original history, Paris stood out, received the king's approval, became a prince again, and caused war, but it was not clear whether this was secretly helped by the gods.
Pei Ziyun glanced at Prince Ifofos with a secret laugh in his heart.
At this time, a bull was brought to the arena. The bull was shining brightly. He brought the bull in the herd of Mount Ida. This bull happened to be raised and loved by Paris. However, he could not stop the owner and the king from taking it away. Now, just take it back.
Don't underestimate the value of a cow. Even if the king worships the gods, there is usually only one cow. The little can only enjoy the treatment of one sheep and one pig. Some small city-states may even conflict for a bull!
This is the prize of the competition. It is very generous and can stimulate the players' performance to the maximum.
At this time, Prince Ifobos, who was in the same group as Pei Ziyun, lowered his voice and said, "Why dare you, the lowly shepherd, stand with me?"
Pei Ziyun pointed with his finger at the newly-made laurel and the wreath made of olive branches, and slowly said, "Because the gods like the first place, and I am the first place in the race!"
Prince Ifoss blushed, and unconsciously touched the bow. At this moment, the tall and strong Hector came over, and everyone cheered.
"Hector, Hector!"
Hector was the bravest, most powerful, and the best archer of all the sons of King Priamos. In previous experience, Hector has proved to everyone that he is a well-deserved hero.
Pei Ziyun looked at it, and with one glance, he could not help but sink.
Hector, in front of him, has a giant figure, let alone, the blood rolling inside seems to be flowing like mercury, and great power flows, giving Pei Ziyun a heavy sense of oppression.
"This is the blood of God? It's better than a lifetime Taoist. I'm no opponent at all now." Pei Ziyun thought to himself: "However, I will win because God won't allow Paris to fail."
The archery competition soon began.
Relative to the 200-meter race is a feast for civilians, archery is undoubtedly more popular with nobles. This movement is also regarded as the aristocratic movement of this era, and ordinary civilians cannot have the financial resources to train excellent archers.
At this time, the entire archery field was full, and even the king and queen arrived at the scene, and they sat down on the high platform.
Pei Ziyun glanced at the king and queen on the high platform, thinking about it.
I saw Pei Ziyun calm and calm, a familiar feeling hit the heart instantly, Paris was originally an excellent archer, now he has inherited all the memories, plus his understanding of bow and arrow, excellence, archery to a higher level.
"Shoot-start!" The commander said.
"Well." Prince Ifobos opened his bow with arrows, one by one, without stagnation in the middle, obviously the result of long-term training.
"Seven rings!"
"Eight rings!"
Even shooting ten arrows are seven or eight rings, which is a very good result, usually enough to overpower many excellent archers. You know, the results of modern Olympic archers are just that, but this is selected from 7 billion people!
Prince Ifobos was very proud of his achievements.
Pei Ziyun gave a sneer, drew his arrow, bent his bow and took the arrow, and shot the arrow out, only listening to the sharp whistling, and the arrow flew towards the target.
"Ten rings."
Before everyone could react, Pei Ziyun took the second arrow and shot it up, and then he passed by again and again and all shot out.
"Ten rings."
"It's the tenth ring again."
"It's incredible."
Pei Ziyun shot ten arrows and ten rings, everyone on the field stood up, applauded to Paris, and even King Priamos stood up and asked, "Who is this?"
"Your Majesty, this is the son of your loyal servant Agros." Someone reported.
"Just the son of Agros?" The king was a little disappointed.
"Yes, Your Majesty, he now inherits the profession of Agellas, and becomes a shepherd, grazing cattle and sheep for you." The soldier answered.
"The status is too humble!" The king originally wanted to recruit Pei Ziyun as the captain. Now, after thinking about it, he decides to temporarily recruit his own soldier.
"After all, it is just the son of a court servant. Although archery is good, the insight and vision are not enough to support a jump into the captain ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Maybe exercise well, you can be promoted to the captain in the future." The king secretly thought Even if there is no godly metaphor, the king is soberly aware of the situation of his country.
Troy itself is fertile, rich in gold, and also controls the Dardanelles. The Dardanelles, where traffic is important, communicates the Aegean and Black Seas.
This era is the Bronze Age, but one of the disadvantages of bronzes is that they are susceptible to rust. If the surface of the bronze is coated with tin, this problem can be solved!
Therefore, tin is very important in this era. It is an indispensable strategic material. Whoever lacks it cannot work and fight.
However, tin needs to be brought into the Black Sea by ship, and has to pass through the Dardanelles. Troy, who controls the Dardanelles, can sit and share money, which has aroused the envy of many Greeks.
"I need more warriors to cope with the situation." The king thought gloomily. In order to maintain the prosperity of the kingdom, more warriors were needed, so the king saw this shepherd at first sight!
Not to mention that King Priamos was not a fool, he also smelled a bad breath from the gods!
At this time, the first round of archery was nearing its end, but Prince Ifoss did not understand the king's mood. Another defeat made him look even more ugly. He stared at Pei Ziyun fiercely, watching Pei Ziyun's smile, and anxious He stepped on his feet hard: "This humble shepherd dared to mingle with the prince and win a game."
The servants were very careful at this time, afraid of losing the game and finding their own anger, and Prince Ifos almost tried to do it, but looked around the stadium and found that it was surrounded by people, all citizens and nobles. The king and queen were also present.
Prince Ifobos, who was burning in anger, slowly retracted his hand, but his eyes were even more gloomy.
