"No, I don't agree."
"I don't want to help the Greeks now, I just want to go home."
No matter how Karcas persuaded him, Firoctetes was determined not to accept Karcas' proposal to help the Greeks deal with Cooknos.
In fact, Philoctetes's approach is understandable. Anyone who is abandoned by his companions on this deserted deserted island for several months will break up with his companions.
Not to mention the hardships that Pheloctetes has endured in the past few months.
Carcas had no good idea, so he could only comfort Pheloctetes and asked him how he had survived in the island for the past few months. He was waiting for the answer given by Odysseus.
"Odysseus, a sinister and cunning guy, was definitely not simply avoiding him. He rushed to the island, so he must have had some tricks?"
Sure enough, Odysseus slipped to the island as soon as the boat landed, and was always looking for a place where Philoctetes lived.
Hard work pays off, and he discovered traces of Pheloctetes' residence in a cave.
"Finished." Odysseus searched for Philoctetes's items, but he finally found the bow and arrow inherited from Herules, and quietly stole the bow and arrow.
Odysseus got the divine bow, walked back, met with the servant, and sniffed: "Give it to me, and tied up the person who spoke to Carcas."
"What a pitiful and unfortunate hero." Carkas sighed.
Odysseus held the bow and arrow inherited from Hercules in his hand, and did not hide it. He felt that the bow and arrow had been obtained and did not need the help of Philoctetes.
Phyloctetes recognized Odysseus at a glance, and he shouted in grief: "Ah, you are the one who abandoned me on this deserted island. Now you have captured me again and stole my bow and arrow. How despicable are you?"
Odysseus sneered: "Feloctetes, we invite you back. If you refuse to agree, I can only follow the arrangement of the gods and borrow your divine bow."
"Oh, damn Odysseus, so what if you take my bow and arrow, you can try to pull it and use it to kill your enemies."
When Odysseus heard him say this, he couldn't help but try to pull the bowstring with his hand holding the bowstring, but he could not pull the bowstring with all his strength.
Odysseus, who had just thought the plan had succeeded, suddenly became gloomy. He didn't expect that the bow was so difficult to pull, or was it only Phelocteteus able to pull the magic bow?
He did not give up and asked Karkas and the servants who followed him to try it, but no one could pull the bowstring at the scene.
This is very abnormal. Even if the bowstring is difficult to pull, the bowstring will still react when the strength is larger. It is not like the current situation.
"There will be no problem with the bow, but this is the bow and arrow inherited from Hercules. No matter how great a hero is, it will not affect much once he dies, but Hercules becomes a god." Odysseus immediately thought of this possibility: "Is it Hercules's regulations that only Pheloctetes can pull this bow and arrow?"
"Fyloctites, if you promise to help us with our common enemy, the Trojans, I will apologize to you for the mistakes I have made before."
"And I will also give you gold and bronze compensation."
Odysseus' eyes rolled and spoke, thinking that he would fool Pheloctetes into dealing with Cooknos first. As for apology and compensation, he would wait until he had dealt with Cooknos, hehe!
"I will not help you with someone as cunning as you, you will die of your heart." Pheloctetes said stubbornly.
Odysseus's smile was stiff, and he had already scolded this damn Philoctetes a thousand times in his heart, but now he had to force him to smile.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he begs, threatens, moves them with emotion and lures them with benefits, Pheloctetes was determined to do so.
Just when the two of them had no choice, the blue sky suddenly turned dark, and Hercules suddenly appeared in the clouds.
Phyloctetes first saw the old friend standing in the clouds and shouted loudly: "Hercules, are you here to visit me?"
Hercules was the son of Zeus and Arcmene, and because of his origin, he was hated by Zeus's wife Hera.
He was extremely brave and powerful. Later, he completed ten tasks that were known as "impossible". In addition, he also rescued the bound Prometheus, hid his identity and joined Jason's heroic adventure team and assisted him in obtaining the Golden Wool.
Hercules was wise and eventually persecuted by Hera. He was unbearable and died of pain. After his death, he ascended to the Holy Mountain of Olympus and married Hebe.
"Go!" Hercules called out loudly in the sky.
"Listen, my friend Phyloctetes, I will tell you Zeus's decision in person, that he will return to Troy and assist the Greeks."
"You know that I have suffered all my hardships and became the eternal God, and the goddess of destiny also stipulates that you have to suffer all my hardships and gain glory."
"If you go to Troy, your trauma will heal."
Philoctetes listened to Hercules' words and knew that Zeus was telling him not to disobey. He stretched out his hands to his friend and said, "My dear friend Hercules, don't worry, I will go to Troy now and help them deal with powerful enemies."
At this time, Hercules had gradually disappeared into the distant sky, and the sky returned to its blue sky again.
"Okay." Philoctetes waved his hand and made a major decision.
"Heroes, let's shake hands, I decided to take a boat to Troy, Odysseus, Carcas, come and walk with me, because your wish is the wish of God, and I will help you achieve this wish."
As a veteran hero, Philoctetes knew very well that Zeus's will was irresistible. Odysseus and Carcas looked at each other and knew that the mission had finally been completed.
Fortunately, Hercules appeared in time, otherwise, it would be impossible for Pheloctetes to be persuaded back this time.
And just now, Heracles could know that Zeus, the king of the gods, supported them, supported them, and his oracle, asked them to invite Pheloctetes back.
This gave Odysseus a little more confidence in victory.
The three of them walked onto the warship together. With a command that day, they issued a sail order. The warship spread its sails and slowly sailed out of the deserted island.
The vast sea is endless, and the deep blue waters are rolling, rolling up a wave of white waves.
Odysseus and Carcas' warships carried Philoctetes and followed the sea wind toward Troy. With the help of the sea breeze, the sea navigation time was very short. Odysseus and Carcas quickly returned to the Greek camp in Troy.
But even so, snowflakes were falling when I came back, and it was the second New Year.
Agamemnon carried out a grand welcome ceremony with many princes and heroes to welcome the arrival of Philoctetes.
"A respectable hero, dear friend, Phyloctetes, for our moment of confusion, we abandon you on the island of Remnos, but this is also the wish of God. Don't be angry with us anymore. We have been punished by God for these things! Please accept our gifts, gold and bronze, and this is our compensation for you." Agamemnon said, "And I have brought you the best doctor, among which there is Padalios you trust, who will heal you."
Padallioz is an old friend of Paas, Pheroctetes' father. He immediately brought the medicine. In fact, the medicine was not surprising, but after applying it, the wound healed immediately and he recovered his health.
Agamemnon was surprised and thanked God, and said enthusiastically: "Come on, I have prepared delicious food and sweet wine for you, just to welcome you."
Agamemnon took Philoctetes' hand and walked into the camp.
At this time, the tent was filled with tables, with all kinds of barbecue and delicacies, and cups containing fine wine were also filled with tables.
Everyone took their seats separately. Agamemnon filled the wine, picked up the wine glass, stood up and said, "To celebrate our great hero Philoctetes joining us, let us all give him a cup and do it."
As he said that, he even greeted Pheloctetes next to him with a wine glass.
"Damn." Everyone in the camp raised their glasses together to welcome the arrival of Pheloctetes.
Phyloctetes ate the food on the table and suddenly found that his resentment was gradually dissipating. This kind of life is the life that a hero lives. It is really exciting. Hercules said that he must endure the hard life first in order to have the joy of hardship and gain glory.
Odysseus held the wine glass and toasted the wine to Pheloctetes, saying, "O merciful Pheloctetes, I hope you forgive the mistakes I made before, and for our future friendship, I have come and have done this cup."
Although Philoctetes did not want to forgive this cunning Odysseus, everything was arranged by the gods, and he could not be too refuted.
Thinking of it, he raised his wine glass at the same time, greeted Odysseus, and drank it all in one go.
Philoctetes said, "Today is the happiest time in many years. Not only did I reconcile with my friend Odysseus, but everyone also treated me so enthusiastically."
"But please rest assured, the princes, I got Hercules's bow and arrow, and it was soaked in the snake blood of Xudra. Although this bow and arrow have been old, its power is quite good. I believe it will not disappoint everyone, and I will definitely kill the enemy of Cooknos."
Phyloctetes' words made everyone happy. As long as they could kill the invulnerable Cuknos, the Trojans would not be worried.
After hearing this, Odysseus drank the wine in his glass alone and thought: "It seems that another person is going to Hades's realm."
