Chapter 1281 Artifact
Soon after that, Xiao Huan quickly became good friends with Odysseus under the admiration and awe of the sailors.
But Wen Rensheng knew one fact: Odysseus's friends basically did not end well.
But he didn't say it.
Children need to grow up.
Then the big shark followed Odysseus's warship and sailed eastward.
Soon Wen Rensheng knew what they were going to do.
"All the kings and lords of Greece were summoned by the gods. In the east, a city of deception appeared. They will corrupt the entire world, and the strongest force will have no effect on them." Odysseus said this.
His expression was very serious, and the greed and shrewdness he had shown before for money were completely gone.
“City of Deception?”
Wen Rensheng pondered these four words.
He is not surprised why the Greek gods require mortals to go into battle, because their mythology follows the principle of "human beings and gods have the same sex", which means that gods and humans have the same temperament, and even in terms of wisdom, most gods It’s almost like a human being.
Only a few gods are wise enough, and the wisdom of mortals can match that of gods. Gods will also make stupider mistakes than mortals due to character flaws.
In this case, it is uneconomical to rely on gods to deal with the city of deception.
Although there are many gods in Greece, there are nearly ten thousand living on Mount Olympus alone. Those nymphs and forest nymphs who serve as maids are also considered gods.
But most gods only have immortal lifespans. Their wisdom is no different from that of ordinary people, and their personalities are even more extreme.
While thinking, Odysseus' warship has arrived at an island in the east, where a large banquet is being held.
This is a resting point on the way. Kings and lords from the west all stop and gather here to replenish supplies, restore physical strength, treat injuries and illnesses, and hold sports games and sacrifices.
Odysseus greeted many people warmly -
The most famous ones were King Agamemnon of Mycenae and his brother Mene, King of Sparta Laos.
Achilles, who has immortality, and the two princes of Troy, Hector, the eldest prince, and Paris, the second prince.
It seems that at this point in time, the Trojan War has not yet broken out.
He introduced the big shark to everyone, and the king and heroes were not surprised. They are all a combination of gods and humans. They have seen many monsters, such as cyclops, sea monsters, basilisks...
They happily welcomed this upright darling of the sea and even held a sports meeting for it.
Xiao Huan was also very happy and climbed onto the land so happily that everyone was stunned.
Wen Rensheng expressed her calmness. She had done such unreliable things once or twice.
Five days later, after the banquet, everyone set off from the island, formed a mighty fleet, and headed east.
The road was smooth, with smooth wind and water, without any storms or big waves.
This is a world with gods.
It can be said that these heroes and kings have received the attention of the gods. Even the gods with the most bad tempers and the gods with the most conflicts will suppress their tempers and conflicts before the world crisis and provide them with Help.
Poseidon, the lord of the ocean, sent the currents to calm the storm; Thetis, the goddess of the sea, sent the catch, and Maias, the goddess of wind and rain, brought fresh water and favorable winds.
In short, what was originally a difficult sea journey has now become a high-speed sea journey.
A group of sailboats unexpectedly exceeded the speed of modern warships, 20 knots...
Under Wen Rensheng’s gaze, it only took them three days to see the east land.
This world is naturally not just a small place in Greece, the area has expanded at least ten times.
There is a desert on the land. Looking from a distance, there is a city in the sky. It is a mirage, which means that there is really a city in the distance.
Looking from the mirage, the city is very prosperous, with aircraft flying back and forth in the sky.
Wen Rensheng could tell at a glance that it was a drone delivering food because there were lunch boxes tied underneath.
Using drones to deliver food is a business practice that was not widely promoted in his previous life and was only carried out in a few places.
The human cost in the previous life was still too cheap.
He remembered that the raft world was originally a very developed place, and now it seems that it was completely correct.
The sailors around Odysseus were all stunned.
"Don't be fooled. Those are definitely illusions and scams. It is indeed a city of deception." Odysseus reminded everyone on the ship. Then the ship found a flat place to anchor, then lowered the boat and began to transport people aboard.
After going up, everyone began to use small boats to carry supplies, first of all to build a camp.
Don’t worry about fresh water and food, the gods will provide for it all.
A simple camp was quickly built, with many white and gray tents set up on a gentle sand dune.
Then there is the dock. There is no dock, and transporting supplies by boat is too slow.
A few days later, more than a dozen exploration teams set off in batches.
After half a month, someone came back and informed me that the city was more than a hundred miles away.
It's just that this road of more than a hundred miles is more difficult to walk than the previous sea route of thousands of miles.
This desert is no longer a place controlled by the Greek gods.
The strong winds were raging, the livestock were scattered, the water bags were leaking, and the dry food was inexplicably rotten.
The members of the exploration team prayed to all the gods, but even the earth mother Gaia could not give them any mercy. Only one out of ten people saw the city and returned.
The survivors told the king and heroes what happened during the journey, and were then ordered not to talk about it.
Wen Rensheng heard from the side that these people returned after eating the blood and flesh of their companions.
The king and the heroes were silent.
More than a hundred miles, if you prepare a few more fast horses, you can make the round trip in one day.
However, these exploration teams just walked back and forth for half a month.
Sacrifice must be offered.
They returned to the sea, far away from the land, and worshiped again.
After the sacrifice, three artifacts landed on the altar.
One is a mirror, the other is an olive branch, and the last one is a crutch.
Other than that, there is no oracle. It seems that it is up to them to decide the ownership of the artifact.
After some debate among these kings and heroes, they all decided that the bravest and wisest person would choose these three things.
"No, the mirror is obviously owned by the most beautiful people." Paris, the second prince of the Kingdom of Troy, retorted.
His eldest brother Hector did not speak. His upright face was full of seriousness, and his tall body seemed to be carrying the entire country on his back.
He is really a true hero who has been forgotten. During the entire Trojan War, too few people have heard of him.
And he is actually the most innocent and tragic hero in the entire war.
The originally good prince and future king was implicated to death by a boring game played by the gods.
He was one of the most sober people in the war. Unlike others, he never complained about Helen's elopement with his brother Paris, because he knew that this was a game of the gods.
He tried his best to oppose the war because he knew that the war would be defeated, but when the war started, he bravely shouldered his responsibilities and tried his best to protect his home and city from being plundered and massacred.
He is the only impeccable hero.
It is completely normal for the belief in the Greek gods to decline.
They neither assume human obligations nor care about the fate of the world——
They don't even have the simple function of soothing the soul. Whether in the real world or the mythical world, they are destined to be losers.
In this dimensional war, Wen Rensheng really does not expect the Greek gods to win, so he will not intentionally help any side, and will only correct the fate of some characters according to his own preferences.
Troy is a powerful country, so the words of Prince Paris are also very weighty.
"Okay, then add this to the bravest and wisest." Odysseus unexpectedly supported the other party's opinion.
The others thought about it and agreed.
Because no one thinks he is ugly...
Greek heroes all loved beautiful things, just like Zeus.
