Chapter 521： ransom (1/2)

Athens

In a tavern in Gaocheng, Gosne was drinking with several bards.

Figs, snacks, and wine were placed on the table. Some of the bards were gifted with the favor of Apollo and became talented guests of the aristocracy and the king.

But some of them fell into the street to perform, and Gzigny was instructed by Prince Paris. He didn't need to find those who were famous, so they were all down, everyone was eating table food and drinking the Fine wine.

A bard with a goatee said, ”Gesne, thank you so much for your hospitality. I never thought you would be so generous with Prince Paris.”

老 An old man shouted at the wine, and drunk 醺醺 said, ”Guzner, when I met you, you were all like me. I never thought you would not write poetry and become so rich. It is better to follow Prince Paris.”

Gessne looked at the few bards in front of him, feeling deep inside, and at the same time, a pride was born, but a face was slightly thin and he had not spoken the bard, he said, ”Gsgne, you climb It's good to go to Prince Paris, but it's all glorious, all at the same time. In the event that Prince Paris loses power, you will be much worse than us. ”

Hearing that, his face changed, and the two around him were embarrassed. In order to avoid his anger, he hurriedly told him to continue the prince's story.

At this moment, there was a noise in the distance, and someone shouted, ”Bearman, bearman.”

A few bards thought that the bear man had entered the city and jumped up in shock. Looking carefully, only to find that it wasn't the Bear Man who entered the city, relieved.

Pei Ziyun was standing on a chariot covered with garlands at this moment, smiling, waving at the crowd around, and everyone in the city cheered to celebrate the arrival of the Bearman's head in Athens.

”Paris.”

”Paris.”

There was a shout from the puppet crowd, and everyone admired Prince Paris's ability to kill the bearmen.

”Why did Prince Paris kill the Bearman, did he only go into the mountain yesterday?” A few bards stared, and seemed unable to believe that Prince Paris could return triumphantly.

”It looks correct, you see, the king is here to meet Prince Paris.”

I saw King Menastos greeted on the street, with the guard behind him, and said happily towards Paris, ”Prince Paris, you are so brave, you will return with a bearman's head in triumph so soon.”

”This is the blessing of the gods, I can quickly complete this task.” Pei Ziyun said.

The puppet king Menastos gave Pei Ziyun a hug. In the curious eyes of the people, instead of returning to the palace, he turned to the Temple of Zeus.

Temple of Zeus

The temple is located southeast of the Acropolis of Athens, in the middle of a large flat land on the banks of the Irisos. The entire temple is surrounded by green valleys and clear streams, and the scenery is elegant. There is a dense forest not far away, with rich greenery and forests. The trail is even more beautiful with flowers and trees, fighting for beauty.

Pei Ziyun, led by King Menastos, quickly arrived outside the Temple of Zeus in a chariot.

The Dai Temple is rectangular, 108 meters long and 41 meters wide. The entire building sits on a complete foundation. The temple is supported by 104 cylindrical marble columns, each of which reaches an astonishing 18 meters.

The priests of the Temple of God waited early at the door, leading the king Menastos and Pei Ziyun into the temple's gate.

There are four huge arches in the Temple of Deity, each of which is 15 meters high and 8 meters wide.

I walked into the arch and looked up into a rectangular dome. The dome was engraved with colorful murals related to the gods, and the relief around the temple wall was exquisite and magnificent, showing the grace of the gods.

The priest was silent all the way, and it seemed that he did not intend to introduce the temple gods. The servant held two bulls, holding a bear head and gold, and followed him step by step.

Through the temple corridor, an altar of any **** must be several times larger. In front of the three, the altar is a statue of Zeus, which is 12 meters high.

As soon as the three of them walked to stand in front of the idol, Pei Ziyun felt a gaze coming.

”It's Zeus,” Pei Ziyun thought secretly.

The servant brought two bulls and gave them to the priest.

Several assistants were very satisfied after checking it. They brought garlands to the two bulls and sent them to the altar. The priests sprayed water on the altar and the bulls and prayed. With the help of the assistants, after a short while, the two bulls were slaughtered. Very skilled at cutting beef heads and sorting meat.

Then, Pei Ziyun took the bear's head and a 200-g gold brick on the altar, and raised his hand to pray, ”Oh, the great and resourceful King of Gods, I'll be able to slay the bears. Glory belongs to you, may you accept my sacrifice. ”

This time, gold and bear heads disappeared, apparently taken by the gods, but the beef was only a little less.

The priest now smiled and said to Pei Ziyun, ”Prince, the **** is very satisfied with your bear head and gold.”

King Maynastos accompanied the whole process of watching the ritual. There was no shortage of beef. This is not surprising, or the great Zeus had changed the reason for the bull.

But the disappearance of the bear head and gold shows that the **** is still very satisfied with Prince Paris, so that he can still maintain a considerable friendship with Prince Paris.
