Then Xiao Huan quickly became good friends with Odysseus under the admiration and awe of the sailors.
But Wen Rensheng knew one thing: Odysseus's friend basically didn't end well.
But he didn't say it out loud.
Children need to grow up.
Then the big shark followed Odysseus's warship and sailed eastward.
Wen Rensheng soon 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 whole world, and the strongest force will not be effective against them." Odysseus said.
With.
His expression was 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 was not surprised why the Greek gods asked mortals to go into battle, because their mythology followed the principle that "humans and gods have the same sex", which means that gods and humans have the same temperament, and even in terms of wisdom, most gods are similar to humans.
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.
Under such circumstances, 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 who live on Mount Olympus alone. Those nymphs and forest nymphs who serve as maids are also considered gods.
But most gods only have immortal lifespans, are no doubt as intelligent as ordinary people, and are even more extreme in character.
While thinking, Odysseus' warship has arrived at an island in the east, where a large banquet is being held.
This is a resting point where kings and lords coming from the west 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 figures are Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, and his brother Menelaus, king of Sparta.
Achilles, who is immortal, 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 kings and heroes were not surprised. They were all a combination of gods and humans. They had seen many monsters, such as cyclops, sea monsters, basilisks...
They happily welcomed this upright darling of the sea and even held a sports meeting in his honor.
Xiao Huan was also very happy and climbed onto the land happily, leaving everyone 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 went smoothly, 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 who are usually the most contradictory will suppress their tempers and conflicts and provide them with help before the world crisis.
Poseidon, the lord of the ocean, sent ocean currents to calm the storm; Thetis, the ocean goddess, sent catches, and Maias, the wind and rain goddess, sent 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 suddenly exceeded the speed of modern warships, 20 knots...
Under Wen Rensheng's watchful eye, it only took them three days to see the eastern land.
Naturally, this world is not just a small area like 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.
From the mirage, the city was very prosperous, and aircraft were 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 was a business practice that had not been 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, but 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 gentle 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 everything.
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.
It took half a month for someone to return and tell 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 broken, and dry food was inexplicable.
The members of the exploration team prayed to all the gods, but even Gaia, the Earth Mother, 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 heroes were silent.
It's more than a hundred miles, and if you prepare a few more fast horses, you can make the round trip in one day.
However, these exploration teams had to go 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 cane.
Apart from this, there is no oracle, and it seems that it is up to them to decide the ownership of the artifact.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After a debate among these kings and heroes, they all decided that the bravest and wisest people 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 in a boring game played by the gods until he died.
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 strongly opposed 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 absolutely 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 didn't expect the Greek gods to win, so he would not intentionally help any side, and would only correct the fate of some characters according to his own preferences.
Troy is a powerful country, so Prince Paris's words also hold great weight.
"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 they are ugly...
Greek heroes all loved beautiful things, just like Zeus.
