Chapter 15, Trivia in Crete (Part 1)
It has to be said that the child's vitality is still very tenacious - after taking in a little oxygen, King Minos's breathing became more and more stable, and his face gradually returned to rosy. Not only did he no longer gasp in extreme pain like at the beginning, , even the spasms of the hands and feet stopped.
And as Minos's frown slowly relaxed, the Queen Mother's racing heart gradually calmed down - her son was really saved! She almost wanted to jump up and yell to vent her joy and excitement... But in order not to disturb the rescue efforts of the Daughter of the Nile and the "gods", the ecstatic Queen Mother had no choice but to hold back, but There was still an extremely bright smile on his face uncontrollably.
At the same time, watching the little king turn the corner and the queen mother smiling, the clumsy palace maids and servants also breathed a sigh of relief - although there are no crocodiles on Crete, they were cut several times and thrown away. Feeding sharks in the sea seems to be just as miserable!
——In the era of slavery in the West, no matter which country's court, the treatment of lower-level servants was extremely barbaric and cruel.
On the other hand, King Minos, who was lying in the arms of Carol, was also filled with unspeakable joy, and his heart was tightly grasped for a moment.
——For the first time, for the first time in my life, the unbearable torture left me so quickly. Although he was exhausted from being tortured before and just wanted to sleep now, the young king who had been on the sickbed since childhood tried hard to open his eyes, wanting to take another look at that golden and beautiful figure, and listen to that soft and soft figure again. The sound of his voice, and then feel the small hands gently touching his face... Oh, this is the daughter of the Nile God. After he and his mother prayed countless times, the daughter of the Nile God finally took pity on him and came to save the man who was about to die. Did you drown yourself in pain?
Although he had imagined the face of the Nile Daughter countless times, when he saw Carol's eyebrows that seemed too beautiful to be described in words, and the dazzling blond hair that spread like a waterfall, he still felt that all the beautiful words in his mind were, There is no way to describe the soul-shaking beauty of this moment.
Facing this golden and lovely person, his gentle and considerate elder sister, and the long-awaited savior, he had too many words to say, but his already exhausted physical strength made Minos unable to cope with the difficult day. The next moment she stretched out her hand, she fell asleep completely.
——Because the dazzling blond Daughter of the Nile took up all the attention of this cocooning boy, he actually didn’t notice the group of strangely dressed and weird-looking future travelers behind him until now...especially that one. A chubby blue cat-shaped robot.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
However, Wang Qiu and Doraemon did not regard themselves as spectators at all - just as Carol held the sleeping King Minos and relied on the help of the maids to undress the sickly beautiful boy and wipe his sweat. , while humming a lullaby to him. The travelers from the future looked at this dark and damp semi-underground palace with disdain, while unceremoniously sending the many palace maids and servants around.
"... extinguish all these oil lamps! We have electric lights here! Also move away these two smoking bronze incense burners! The air in this place is really bad, it's already so unventilated, It’s also smoked and burned, do you want smoked bacon?”
"...Distinguished adults! Just to make the smell in this room more pleasant, we are lighting these finest oriental incense! And the flowers and plants in the pots are also for Let His Majesty the King feel the fragrance of the wilderness in bed..."
"...Hey! In the absence of sunlight, plants will not produce oxygen through photosynthesis. They will only produce carbon dioxide through respiration, making the air more turbid... Forget it, even if I say it, you won't understand. In short, there is no benefit to keeping plants in the basement. Now move them outside! I have never heard of patients being recuperated in zoo cages!
"...Oh, there is mold in the corners! Is this place the bilge of an old broken ship?! The noise of cutting out the walls and opening windows will probably be too loud to affect the patient's rest... Doraemon! Hurry up! Get some [air cans] out and give this cave some fresh air!”
"...Wait a minute, I have to install a dehumidifier in this room first. This damn humidity makes me feel like I'm going to rust! Well, okay, what kind of [air can] do you want? Hawaii Beaches, Alps, redwood forests or arctic ice? ”
"...Eh? Is this the potion you give the king every day? It feels suspicious! Take a spoonful and give me a test... Oh, my God! According to my test results, this is not a good medicine. It's basically a chronic poison! Fortunately, we arrived in time. If we continue to take it for dozens of days, not to mention a sick man like your king, even a strong young man as strong as an ox will be killed by the drug. !
What? Don't believe it? Then I'll take a little white mouse (stopped suddenly and glanced at Doraemon)... Uh, no, let's take a little bird and drink the potion and give it a try... Let's see, it's really overturned by the potion. ! How on earth are you torturing and poisoning the king you serve?
Um? This potion was obtained from the temple. The king had been fine after taking it for several years, but it had started to lose its effectiveness recently? There must be something wrong with the person who made the medicine or the person who took the medicine. I suggest you check it out. But before that, this medicine must be stopped immediately! ”
For this reason, Wang Qiu's "Book of Time Travel" added another line: "...expose the poisoning plot of the Mycenaean spies and obtain 1,500 reward points."
(Original plot: The Mycenaeans on the Greek Peninsula have always wanted to seize the maritime hegemony of Crete, so they sent spies to sneak into the city of Knossos, obtain the position of priest, and mix it into King Minos' potion. Slow poison, trying to kill people The thin royal line died out, which caused political chaos on the island, disintegrated the powerful Cretan fleet, and paved the way for the Mycenaean army to invade across the sea... Unfortunately, it was disrupted by Carol, causing the success to fall short.
In real history, it was indeed the powerful Mycenaeans who ended the maritime hegemony of Crete and dealt a fatal blow to mankind's oldest maritime civilization, but that was already two hundred years later. The Mycenaeans in the fourteenth century BC did not have such strength. )
"...Eh? Wine and oysters? You actually gave him this? Don't you know that alcohol and seafood are the most taboo for asthma patients? And it's raw seashells! Not to mention the allergy problem, just because he looks like he's been sick all year round Can my weak stomach digest this? ”
"...Huh? Then what should you feed your king? Wait a minute, Doraemon, lend me your "Encyclopedia of the Universe" to check! Well, let me take a look...the dietary recipes for asthma patients...eat more Fruits and vegetables, taboos on drinking alcohol and eating seafood... Specific meals include: grapefruit stewed chicken, Cold tomatoes, perilla porridge, brown sugar pumpkin soup? Hey, in today’s Mediterranean world, there is neither sugar nor pumpkin, nor tomatoes. It seems that we can only use [universal takeaway phone] or [chronological automatic vending machine]. Cargo plane] went to order
Then, the ideal drinks for asthma sufferers are… winter melon tea, watermelon juice, and fig juice? Naturally, winter melon tea has to be bought in the modern world. There are a lot of figs and watermelons here. However, just in case, buy a manual juicer with a filter! The people here are really unhygienic. If you let them squeeze juice, God knows what kind of dirt and germs will be mixed in..."
……
All in all, when King Minos finally opened his eyes again after regaining his breath, he was surprised to find that his semi-underground palace had become completely new. More than a dozen bright lights that had never been seen before illuminated the palace that had been dark all year round; the turbid air that was usually damp and dull and could not be covered up even by lighting incense suddenly became refreshing and pleasant, vaguely... It is also filled with the sweet smell of tropical fruits...
What excited the young man the most was that the legendary daughter of the Nile with blond hair, blue eyes, and stunning beauty was sitting on the edge of the bed, showing herself an unusually gentle and bright smile, and then used a wooden spoon to A spoonful of colorful things was put to his mouth.
"...You're awake! Minos. Come! Eat this while it's hot! It's very good for your body!"
Although Minos is a very picky child, he usually does not eat fruits, vegetables, meat, and rarely eats pasta, only a little bit of delicious fish and seafood (which shows that most of his diseases are probably caused by If it was normal, he would have turned over and ignored it... But in front of the blond girl's healing smile, he still involuntarily opened his mouth and swallowed the diced candied fruit on the spoon.
Well, it tastes warm and sweet. It seems to be a dessert stewed with honey and fruit... Minos smacked his lips, feeling that the warm fruit didn't seem too unpalatable. At the same time, he noticed the daughter of the Nile beside him. , there is also a huge black lacquer tray, which is filled with dozens of small plates and bowls filled with food. Whether it is food or utensils, everything is so exquisite and cute, even as a king, he is in front of him. Never seen before.
What surprised him even more was that what was holding the big tray on his head was... what?
It was only then that King Minos noticed Doraemon's chubby body.
"...Ehehehe? What kind of strange animal is this? Daughter of the Nile! Is it the prey you caught in heaven?"
"...How rude! I am not a wild animal! My name is Doraemon, and I am a cat-shaped robot. Please remember it well!"
"...God! This animal can actually talk! Uh, you said you are a cat? But where are your ears?" - Doraemon, who was accidentally poked in the pain by King Minos, I was very angry for a while...
