Chapter 495: Piety and Robber

Troy city
Traces of a torrential rain remained on the slate of the city's streets, and a message quickly spread throughout the city.
"Prince Paris loved and worshiped the gods, and the ten cows that the king rewarded, he sacrificed them all to the gods, and also distributed the meat to the original shepherd companions and citizens."
The news caused a strong response in Troy. More and more people rushed to the temple. They all wanted to witness the process of sacrifice by Prince Paris.
"I have already sacrificed to Zeus and Athena, and now it is Apollo."
The temple was filled with citizens who watched the lively Troy, and at this time they were discussing whether Prince Paris would arrive on schedule.
In their view, it was not necessary to sacrifice all ten of their cattle.
I believe that the gods will forgive themselves, because everyone who eats and sacrifices out will lead to insatiable stomachs, and then they will have to trouble the gods for relief, and they will not pay more.
Pei Ziyun is a prince. He has no worries about filling his stomach, but he sacrifices all his cattle to the gods. This kind of thing is unique, at least not in Troy City.
Then someone shouted, "Come here!"
I saw that on the street, Pei Ziyun humbled the bull, and the priest greeted him and asked, "Dear Prince Paris, are you sure you want to dedicate this bull to the gods?"
Pei Ziyun replied: "Of course, I heard that I am pleased with God, and even if I am poor, I will be compensated, and even if I have more gold, I will be doomed if I do not fear the gods."
"Look, I am an example. It took only one day from the shepherd to the prince."
"In that case, how dare I fear the gods?"
The crowd felt that Prince Paris was right and praised each other. The priest personally slaughtered the bull, and Pei Ziyun put the slaughtered cow in a tray and placed it in front of the idol.
The priest silently read a prayer in front of the statue, and then an incredible scene reappeared, and saw that the best part of the cow's body on the tray suddenly disappeared, and it never seemed the same.
Pei Ziyun's pupils shrunk slightly. He didn't see how the cow's part was taken away by the gods, which made him deepen his understanding of the gods in this world.
It seems that supernatural powers are frequently used by gods here, but I don't know what the nature of this power is, which is the power of faith?
The priest smiled and said, "Prince Paris, God is very satisfied with your offering. Now the sacrifice is over and you can go back."
In ancient Greece, religious activities were frequent, but the sacrificial rituals were quite simple and simple. Generally, only wine, grain, fruit, oil, garlands or decorations were needed, but this did not hurt the grandness and warmth of the event.
"Zeus, Athena didn't take it."
"Also, for the gods, access is a symbol of satisfaction. It seems that Apollo still cares about me, don't take a look."
"It is said that Troy, the biggest concern at present is Apollo?"
Pei Ziyun went out: "Give the best meat left to the king and queen, and my brother, and the rest to the citizens of Troy."
"Prince Paris, you are very generous, and the gods will always protect you." The priest said, the people around him heard the words of Prince Paris, and they all cheered and expressed their respect for the prince.
"Prince, you are the messenger sent by gods to the world. May your light live with the world."
"Dear Prince Paris, how kind you are, the gods will surely guard you."
Pei Ziyun smiled slightly. This is the result that he hopes to see. Although the prestige is invisible and intangible, it does exist and has a great influence. He can even use his prestige to complete his promotion.
"Kassandra, your brother, our prince, although he grew up among the shepherds, is indeed a descendant of the great Zeus. Look how devout and princely you are." A little further, a four-wheeled carriage stopped , A young girl, speaking to Princess Cassandra.
In ancient Greece, there were very few paved roads, most of which were rough roads. Most people traveled by foot. Only in the city, they took a carriage.
Kassandra smiled slowly, silent, and did not speak. She was very contradictory. Indeed, from the performance point of view, Paris feared the gods, loved the father and the elder brother, and was very friendly to his brother. Impeccable.
But this made her even more puzzled.
What exactly caused the deities to drop the oracle at first, saying that Paris would destroy Troy? Take Paris now, for example, he could not see any act or attempt to destroy Troy.
Not only did he not destroy Troy, but his words and deeds were loved and loved by the people. As internal factors were impossible, they could only be destroyed by external factors.
However, Paris has always been a shepherd in Mount Ida, and has almost no contact with the outside world. Such a person, even if she has a connection with the outside world, does not even believe her.
"What was the reason for Troy's destruction?" Princess Cassandra sank into thought.
At this time, Pei Ziyun finished the meat and went out, but the direction is not to go back, but to leave the city.
The girl asked again, "What's wrong, where is he going?"
"Poor young girl, another person who sees Paris." Kassandra watched Pei Ziyun out of the city and said casually, "Go to Mount Ida to meet Ononie."
"Who is Ononie? Is that the shepherdess?" The young girl who had just praised Pei Ziyun asked nervously, already taking some hostility.
"No, I heard she is the daughter of the river god." Cassandra replied.
"Daughter of the river god?" The girl covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Cassander didn't bother, but thoughtfully.
According to the pedigree, Zeus and the sea goddess Electra chased after the blood of the royal family, and then married the river gods of the Seymours and Scarman delos, and married their daughters. It is said that Infused with the blood of aphrodite and eos, the goddess of dawn, it can be said that it is common for the royal family to associate with gods or their offspring.
The river Cebren is not a very noble god, and the blood of its daughter, Upper Paris, is not too prominent. The most important thing is that she has no power in the kingdom and will not cause suspicion. It can be said that The right spouse.
In Kassandra's view, Paris had just become a prince and couldn't wait to marry Ononie instead of finding a princess, which showed that Paris was not too ambitious.
Such a person said that he would bring Troy destruction, and if it was not for the oracle, Cassandra would say nothing.
Date Mountain Cottage
The thatched cottage on the hillside of Mount Ida, with beautiful scenery, the wind blew through the forest, and the leaves "slammed" and looked very quiet.
The cottage was empty. Only Ononie was sitting alone. She stroked a binaural pot and said with a stunned smile: "This is the one I bought with you to hold oil and water. . "
In ancient Greece, most of the goods, especially oil or wine, were transported in this large earthenware jar called binaural earthenware, which is also inseparable from home.
"This sheepskin is the wild sheep I killed with you, how proud of the wild sheep. We had a meal. You said that you have never eaten such good food."
"Also, this is the clothes I sew for you. I borrowed the needlework from the fairy."
Like Ononie, he took out the items with Paris, counting them one by one, and remembering them one by one.
Then Ononie stared blankly and burst into tears: "The flying bird told me, Paris, you have become a prince, will you come back?"
"I had a terrible dream. I dreamed that I was alone on the hillside and saw my name carved on many bark. I didn't feel happy but choked."
"There is also a poplar, and you have carved a line in the tree: if Paris disregards Ononie's words, the water of the Kebrun river will also flow backwards."
"I looked at the inscription and cried, Kebrun, my father, and let's go back. Paris had disgusted his Ononie before he died."
"I cried in my dream and couldn't say anything."
Ononie said, but only after finishing speaking, there was a voice at the door: "Ononie, this dream will not come true, because I have already returned."
Ononie looked and saw Paris standing in the doorway, wearing a white corset, a bronze belt, and a short sword. She was no longer the shepherd, but looked at herself with a smile. He ran to Paris and rushed into her arms, only to hear her mutter: "Paris, I thought you would never come back."
"How is that?" Pei Ziyun said: "I promised in front of the gods ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The goddess of love also blessed me and witnessed our love."
"Paris, I just worry you won't come back."
"Relax, Ononie, am I not back now?"
"You have to make sure that you can never leave me again," Ononie said.
"Well, I promise, as long as I am mortal, I will not abandon you-I sacrificed ten cows to the gods and brought you some beef."
I lit the fire and roasted the beef. Onionie leaned on Pei Ziyun, listening to the story of the city, and mumbled again: "Ten cows can breed calves, and they can become a group within a few years. You Dedicated the cow to the gods, what about life? "
"My dear Ononie, don't worry, there will be wealth." Pei Ziyun did not worry. In this era, the robber is not a shame job, but one of the hero's main duties.
Perhaps Greece itself is poor and has few suitable arable land, so trade and pirates prevail. First-hand trade and first-hand pirates are the actions of many city states, let alone heroes.
Those heroes who are admired by the gods and chanted by the city-state are not robbers? On the contrary, people will be despised if they do not fight well and robbery. This is a world and an era totally different from Daxu's morality.
After the great Hercules had completed his work, he invited King Peleus of Aegina and Alamon to discuss Troy and kill Laomedon and his son. He robbed Princess Hercegne of marrying Ramon as his second wife and allowed her to redeem one of her captives for freedom.
The young Bodarcus was picked. This is the current king, Priamos, who killed his father and married his daughter. No wonder the king's heart was filled with the flame of revenge and he supported the war with the Greeks.
Religion and robbers, the heroes that God admires, will they violate the word of this world?
