Chapter five hundred and thirty ninth choice
Agamemnon's face was gloomy and calm. When he arrived at the steps, he saw dark clouds rising up, and the rain crackled down, covering the sky and the earth with a dark and gloomy appearance, but there was no wind at all!
Without wind, how can the boat go out to sea?
Did you rely on human paddles to Troy?
After a long time, Agamemnon breathed heavily and stared at the sky. Finally, he didn't say a word, as if he had made up his mind and turned around and left.
This is a garden with several small buildings around it. It is the residence of Queen Clytenestra and her children. Agamemnon walked to the garden, identified his daughter Iphegneya's room, and walked over quickly.
He pushed open the door, but was a little stunned. Seeing that Queen Clytenestra was also there, he was looking at himself with an angry look. Agamemnon was a little surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it and said to the queen: "Call out your child."
"Hmph!" After being reminded by the close servant, Queen Clytenestra, who already knew the secret, was full of resentment, and her eyes were even more unconcealed hatred. She did not speak, but said to the children in the room: "Come out, daughter, bring your younger brother Orestes together."
Iphegnea came out of the inner room with his younger brother Orestes' hand, and the girl stood tall and graceful, but she lowered her head a little uneasy.
"Look, Iphegneya is standing here, ready to follow your instructions."
"Now, I just want you to answer me and tell me frankly and honestly that you really want to kill our daughter?" Queen Clytenestra said coldly.
These words immediately stunned Agamemnon.
How do you have to answer this yourself?
Originally, Agamemnon planned to pull his daughter Iphegnea out alone, but he didn't know where the queen got the news, which made him passively.
Should I personally admit to killing her in front of my daughter and son?
Agamemnon stood there, silent for a long time, and finally screamed in despair, his voice miserable and desperate: "Ah, Goddess of Destiny! You have revealed my secret, and everything is over."
"Agamemnon, now listen to me, our marriage begins with sin." Queen Clytenestra felt a slump in her heart when she saw him not denying it, and a trace of despair appeared, and her voice became sharp.
"You hijacked me with violence and killed my ex-husband. I turned out to be married to Tantalus, the son of Tierstus."
"At that time, you not only killed my husband, but also snatched my child from his arms, and brutally killed him in front of me."
"I cried, my brothers Castor and Polydoces led their troops to pursue you, and you were desperate to ask for protection from my elderly father Tindareus, who saw you pitiful, saved you and made you my husband."
"Even if you treated me cruelly and killed my ex-husband and my children, but my father asked me to marry you, I still keep my vow at home and be a loyal wife, making you happy at home and proud outside, and I gave birth to three daughters and a son for you."
"You and I have been married for more than ten years. Have I ever been sorry for you?" At this point, Queen Clytenestra's face was covered in tears and screamed: "What reward do you give me now?"
"You are going to steal my daughter Iphegnea, right? Why? For your power? For your regaining his unfaithful wife for your brother Menelaus? You are going to kill your own daughter?"
"If the war has already begun and the prince and the king have paid a heavy price, then your words are still true, but now, the heroes, princes, and kings are barely gathered, without paying the price of blood."
"And you are the king of Mekenny, the most powerful kingdom of Greece. You really refuse to do so. Are you willing to compensate? Who dares to kill you? Who can kill you?"
"Which hero is willing to pay such a price?"
"You sacrificed our daughter just for your ambitions. I swear, you will pay the price!"
Mount Olympus
A sharp and heartbreaking voice rushed up to the clouds, and the gods watched this scene calmly. They had witnessed too many tragedies of love and killing among their relatives, so they could not cause any fluctuations in their hearts.
Except for one god, it is Artemis.
Apollo said to Artemis: "Look, after this, Queen Clytenestra's love for Agamemnon has disappeared, and she has become desperate."
"On the contrary, only hatred left in her heart, and the hatred that had killed her husband and children in the past also awakened."
"I can see that Agamemnon already has the thread of death entanglement."
"But I am not interested in Agamemnon's fate. I only feel sorry for the princess who will sacrifice to me." Artemis said.
In the clouds, the Oris picture continues to be displayed.
The gods saw that the assembly princes and kings were concentrated in the holy forest of the goddess Artemis, whose temple and holy forest were located outside the city of Oris.
The altar was set up, and the priest and prophet Kalkas stood in front of the altar.
Iphegnea was bound all over and was taken up by the guards, and the priest pushed her into the altar.
The priest took out the water bullet from the jar and sprinkled it with the altar and Iphegnea, and recited the prayer, and Karkasan took the knife, recited the prayer and chopped it down.
Just as the moment he swung his sword, a miracle appeared, and Iphegnea disappeared in front of everyone.
It turned out that Artemis had pity for her and took her away directly. Instead, a beautiful sika deer was taken over by the knife cut by Kalka, lying on the ground, struggling in the pool of blood on the altar.
"Princes, look at the sacrifices here. This was sent by the goddess Artemis. She would rather sacrifice this sika deer than sacrifice that girl. How kind she is."
"The altar does not need to be sprinkled with the girl's blood. The goddess Artemis has forgiven us. She will make our ship sail smoothly and ensure that we conquer Troy."
"Take the courage, we will leave Port Oris today!" Carcas shouted loudly, his voice gleefully and loud.
Everyone gave a huge cheer, and the forgiveness of the goddess Artemis was good news for them, which meant that the warship could go out to sea.
Everyone left the Holy Forest and went back to prepare for the upcoming Battle of Troy.
"That's good, Iphigneah is fine, and Clytenestra will be relieved!" Agamemnon breathed a sigh of relief and said to the coachman: "Let's go back and tell Clytenestra this good news, so that she can rest assured."
The car was back soon, and Agamemnon looked around, but did not see his wife Clytenestria and his children, and asked, "Where is the man?"
"Great King, when you go to the Holy Forest, Queen Clytenestra ordered the turn of Mekenny, and now he is on the way."
Agamemnon suddenly felt empty in his heart, and a hint of panic hit him.
"Clytenestra, are you hating me?"
"No, I will make up for you. As long as you can destroy Troy and win the war, I am the king of all Greece. You and your children will gain more, and then you will understand everything I have done."
