Chapter 506 Olympic Mountain
Olympic Mountain
The mountains are continuous, with a highest point of more than 2,000 meters. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. From the foot of this mountain to the top of the mountain, there are Greek-style palaces.
If a mortal is looking for this mountain, it will never be possible to find it in his life, because this mountain is not in reality and cannot be seen by mortals.
This is a sacred mountain that belongs to the gods. The gods are at different heights of the mountain according to their ranks. The higher the ranks, the closer they are to the top of the mountain.
A stream of light fell, and the boy holding a pair of snake staff fell on the middle and lower mountainside. The small white wings on his shoes flapped rapidly at the condyle of his feet and gradually calmed down, reaching the colonnade.
The colonnade is composed of marble columns carved with the deeds of the gods and evergreen vines of the four seasons, which connect the palaces of the gods.
There are still rules here. What Hermes can move instantly is the height of his palace. You have to walk again. It is said to be walking, but it is actually very fast. However, when the sound of footsteps appears in the colonnade, all the plants around them tremble, trying their best to show the best color and posture.
Hermes walked up quickly, and he knew that the gods were holding a banquet in the palace on the top of the mountain today.
There is a magnificent palace on the top of the mountain. This palace has 240 huge columns supporting the weight of the entire palace. Almost all the palaces are built with white marble.
When he arrived at the door, Hermes heard the soft singing as water. As soon as he entered, he saw Zeus sitting on the throne of gold and ivory, the gods sitting around, Apollo played the harp, the beautiful Carites danced gracefully, and the soft and pleasant singing of the Muse intoxicated the gods.
"Oh, Hermes, you're back." Zeus said with a smile as soon as Hermes entered.
"Yes, great Zeus, the matter was done, I almost missed this banquet." Hermes said, looking up and saw that the banquet was arranged in a circular shape, and the table was filled with various fruits and wine. The Nyvs were shuttled between the banquets and poured wine for the gods.
There was a thick blood-colored cloud in the middle, emitting a dark red light, but it was the situation of the Trojan Citizens' Assembly. In the last paragraph, the meeting decided that Prince Paris would be the messenger.
The gods had different expressions. Athena looked at Ares with joy, and the gods such as Hera and Poseidon who supported the Greek side were the same.
Artemis, Apollo, Ares and other gods who supported Troy showed displeasure.
When Hermes returned to his seat all the way to the door, the gods greeted him one after another, and even Apollo nodded to greet him, which showed Hermes' "popularity" among the gods.
As soon as she sat down, Hermes looked at the Trojan Citizens' Conference, and at this time, she could see that the rich black air was shrouding the many citizens.
Hera poured Zeus a glass of wine with joy: "Dear, this result is very much in your wish!"
"All this is the arrangement of fate, my wife." Zeus said happily.
This result is indeed very much in line with his wishes. Originally, he only wanted Paris to accept the task automatically, and then Greece would have a reason to destroy Troy.
But what he didn't expect was that Paris did not follow the development of the "script" and refused to go to Greece. He originally planned to take action to make the "deviated" plot return to the "script", but his wife Hera stopped him and asked him to wait patiently.
Unexpectedly, things were turning around, and the final decision of the Citizens Congress would still allow Paris to go to Greece. This has to be said to be the arrangement of fate, and also said the words that the people were guilty of the crime, so the reason for Greece to destroy Troy was more fully established.
Because what Zeus wanted not only to destroy the royal family of Troy, but also to destroy the people of Troy, so that the fluctuating divine power order would develop smoothly again.
Apollo was drinking unhappy at this moment. Troy's safety was closely linked to his interests. If Troy was destroyed again, it would be a big blow to him, his sister Artemis and other related gods.
"Oh, my dear Apollo, don't worry too much, it's not time to decide the outcome." Artemis said to Apollo.
"Well, I know." Apollo responded, staring at the scene below.
King Priamus's countermeasures are actually wise for a king, but for the gods, this is nothing more than a dying struggle.
"Paris is going to Amazon." Apollo frowned.
Paris decided to go on a mission to Amazon, which was a bit beyond Zeus' original plan, but this change was more in line with his wishes. You should know that the Amazon Kingdom was also one of the objects he wanted to cut off.
Thinking of this, Zeus was a little suspicious again. He looked at the gods such as Poseidon and Athena, thinking that there was a god secretly helping Paris. This was very consistent with his wishes, so he said to Aphrodite: "Have you completed the love that was refined for Paris?"
"Ah...I've refined it." Goddess Aphrodite smiled: "What is love?"
"It is the strongest emotion that is extracted from human beings. Even some gods will indulge in them, and the mortals will indulge in deeper Paris is even more irresistible. All these developments and results will surely be as you wish, the Lord God I respect."
The goddess of love and beauty smiled and bet on the delicate singing again.
At this moment, Hermes put down the wine glass in his hand and said slowly: "Great Zeus, a monster disaster has recently erupted everywhere. I checked it. It may be Gaia's move."
Gaia is the god of the earth, the mother of the gods, the respected god among all gods, and the primitive god born in chaos.
Zeus heard Hermes' words and asked, "What do she want to do?"
Although Gaia is the mother of the gods, her era has passed after all. Now Zeus is the king of the gods and is the era of his masters. He will not allow Gaia to come.
However, although Gaia's power disappeared several times, it was still second only to Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. It can even be said that it is not far apart, so Zeus just frowned and slowly unfolded, saying: "This kind of small fight is to make them cause some trouble for us. Don't worry about it. Heroes from all over the world need to be tempered, so they just need to use these monsters to exercise."
"Yes, great Zeus, I will continue to observe the development of things." Hermes replied.
Seeing that Troy's affairs were basically stable and there was no change, the gods stopped paying attention or talking, and they drank white wine.
Sea surface
The blue waves rolled in waves, beating the bottom of the warship, and groups of seagulls soared freely, flying over the warship from time to time.
"Prince, you are almost at the port of Temeschira." Gusne said respectfully, seeing Prince Paris nodding, and smiled again: "I heard that the shipyard of Mount Ida has been building warships. When you go back, you will see a group of people. With these huge battleships, sailing on the sea will be guaranteed."
Things are not that simple. This is the world of the gods. The sea god is related to HNA, while Poseidon is standing on the Greek side.
Troy did not fight the Greeks in a sea, but had to return to the city to guard the city. The big reason was not that he was concerned about each other's strength in the naval battle, but that he was afraid that Poseidon would intervene and cause a big sinking.
But there is no need to say this. Pei Ziyun glanced at Gusne who was bowing and said with a smile: "Well, the shipyard is building a warship very fast. I'm glad to hear that you didn't buy a slave well?"
Gusne's flattering smile became stronger: "Prince Paris, you don't know how rare it is to have a superb slave. I searched several slave markets in Troy, but I didn't find a few. Several of them were bought first by other princes."
"You told me not to conflict with other princes casually, so I did not fight for it."
"Okay, keep paying attention." Pei Ziyun waved his hand: "This time I will go on an envoy to the Amazon Kingdom, and I will buy some slaves!"
"Okay, Prince Paris, there are many male slaves in Amazon, and there is no shortage of warriors. We will definitely find a group of suitable people." Gusne said.
Pei Ziyun stopped talking, stood on the deck of the battleship, looking at the sea and fell into deep thought.
This time he made an initial understanding of the country. Although the Amazons call themselves the Amazon Kingdom, to outsiders, this place with women in control of everything is a sparsely populated race and a large tribe.
This seems to be the reservation of Apollo's sister Artemis, but the god of war Ares has frequently intervened in it recently. Hippolyta, the former queen of Amazon, received a belt given by herself, and the current queen is even the daughter of the god of war Ares.
But Amazon also suffered a blow from Greek mainland. The first person who caused great harm to the Amazons and gained great reputation was the great Hercules. He beat Amazons and suffered heavy casualties. What made Amazons most humiliated was that he also snatched away the belt of his former queen Hippolyta.
Athenian hero Theseus then ravaged Amazon again. While hurting the Amazons, he tricked his ex-Queen Hippolyta to get married.
The Amazons could no longer bear it and sent troops to Athens to take revenge on Theseus.
Theseus immediately married King Crete's sister, Huaidra, and without hesitation, he killed his wife and Amazon's former queen Hippolyta with a hidden arrow. You must know that in the face of the revenge of the Amazons, Hippolyta stood on her husband's side to fight against her compatriots!
However, since the victim was dead, the Amazons could not destroy Athens in one breath, so they ended the expedition and stopped revenge.
But the humiliation imposed on Amazon by the Greeks was deeply engraved in the hearts of Amazons.
"The mainstream has been suppressing the edge, whether it is Greece or Zeus." As soon as he thought about it, the fleet arrived at the Amazon port of Temeschira, but then the port warning horn sounded rapidly.
"Puff, puff, puff" several bows and arrows shot out, nailing them deeply onto the cabin, warning the intruders.
