Chapter 523: fate (1/2)
Crete · Royal Palace · Banquet Hall
The King's Palace is a rectangular garden. The King's Palace, the Queen's Palace, and the banquet hall are all distributed around the garden. The buildings are connected by promenades, entrance halls, double paths, and stairs.
After Pei Ziyun sacrificed Hera in Crete, King Idominus invited Prince Paris to go to the palace to see a grand banquet. At this time, King Idomenus was lying on a reclining chair reclining directly above the hall. It was covered with soft animal skin, and the maid was filled with fine wine and sent into the king's mouth.
The banquet hall was filled with the nobles of many kingdoms. At this moment, they drank fine wine, and the banquet was nearing its end.
King Idominus stood up and said with a smile, ”Prince Paris, I hope you can enjoy our fine wines of Crete and enjoy our cuisine.”
Pei Ziyun saluted slightly, saying, ”Dear King Idominius, thank you very much for your hospitality.”
”Come, Prince Paris, toast for friendship.” King Edomenius lifted the golden cup and drank the wine, and Pei Ziyun also drank it.
”Prince Paris, I heard about your heroic reputation a long time ago, beheaded Siren, two-headed lizard, bear-man, and even respected the gods. Everywhere I go, I must worship the local temple. I can see myself today. It ’s really fun. ”
Pei Ziyun heard the compliment and got up: ”King Edomenius, everything I do is under the guidance and protection of the gods.”
”Your compliments and warm hospitality alarm me. Is there anything I can do for you, the King blessed by our common ancestor Zeus?”
Pei Ziyun looked at it coldly. The King Cretan King Idominius was very powerful and was a protoss loved by Zeus. The treasury in the palace was filled with wine and olive oil, as well as food, and the treasure house was filled with gold bronze and arms.
Have two thousand well-equipped warriors and a large number of ships belonging to the king set off to trade around the Aegean, bringing huge benefits to the king!
But Edominius still had troubles, because at this time, Crete had fallen, while McKinney was thriving, and King Agamemnon gained hegemony.
Two Zeus deities, Agamemnon from McKinney and Idomonius of Crete, have been fighting openly. Idomonius has been trying to restore the glory of the Minos dynasty.
”Some things, the caravan who came back told me that the Trojans have recently increased their control over tin, and they have a heavier tax on tin, do you know?” Idomenius said with a smile, eyes It was a bit cold.
This had a certain impact on Crete, and his income was declining. At this moment, he was thinking, ”Fuck the Trojans, find me something!”
”Dear Her Majesty, I am not clear about this, because I have been out for half a year.” Pei Ziyun said politely: ”But I personally think that we are all descendants of the great Zeus, and we should be more connected with each other. close.”
”You can even reduce taxes and increase exchanges with each other.”
”I have some thoughts on this, you look at it.” Then, with a wave of his hand, Guzne handed a sheepskin book respectfully.
”Putting ships closer to each other to reduce taxes, not to block navigation, free trade, provide necessary conveniences, and enjoy certain privileges.” Idomenius only glanced at it, feeling good, because his smart head immediately wanted to understand, Ke Ritter gains more.
The reason is very simple. Troy controls the Dardanelles. The commercial activities with the Greeks are very frequent. It seems fair to reduce each other. In fact, Troy unilaterally benefits. With this, it can even be obtained by selling tin for tax reduction Extra profit.
”Is this true? Prince Paris?”
”Of course, but this has to sign a peace alliance treaty with Troy. For whatever reason, you must not join the hostile camp against Troy-we cannot support the enemy and make it profitable, right, the great Idominus king?”
”Yes, yes ... I have to discuss this again, but, for our friendship, I want to give you some gifts.” Idomenius said, ”Papapa” three times, there was a servant holding The gifts flowed in.
Pei Ziyun looked and saw that the gift contained gold, bronze, ivory, and fur, which was actually a gift in return to Crete.
Pei Ziyun stood up and bowed: ”Dear King Idominius, thank you very much for your generosity, may our friendship endure, and may the gods bless you forever.”
”Prince Paris, I said, for our friendship, if there is any trouble in the future, come to me.” The king said enthusiastically.
The banquet was held in a cheerful, joyful, and relaxed atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed it. During the period, Pei Ziyun also drank a lot of wine.
After about an hour, Pei Ziyun resigned to the king Idominius, and the king personally sent him out of the banquet hall.
Pei Ziyun went out of the palace, got into the carriage, and said to the coachman, ”Go to Heka Temple.”
”Snapped.”
There was a whistle of a crisp horse whip, and the carriage headed towards the Temple of Heka. At this moment, Pei Ziyun sank his face and shook his head: ”It seems impossible!”
条约 The peace alliance treaty looks like Troy suffers, but during the war, Troy could not have collected taxes at all, so there was no loss at all, but he could disgusted the Greeks—by then, Idominus would join the war, or not?
But Idolmenius was a descendant of Zeus. It seemed to smell some wind. Although he was heart-warming, when he heard the peace treaty, he declined.
”But finally give more gifts, and it's still profitable.”
Pei Ziyun no longer thinks about this, but thinks about the following goals.
