Chapter 536： Time deviation (1/2)
palace
Paramodes and Odysseus rushed to the palace night and night to meet the great hero Peleus.
It was already night, and the drizzle drifted down in the breeze. The palace was lit with lights. Odysseus stood in front of the door and stared at the palace. There were shadows and a samurai report.
Immediately Pelius asked to come in.
The servant came out and unloaded the sweaty horses and dragged them into the stables. The manger was filled with oats and forage, and the carriage was put into the shed.
Two guests were invited into the palace, bathed in warm water, washed away from the dust, revived, and introduced to Peleus.
Odysseus walked into the hall and saw a row of soft chairs with cushions on them. The aristocrat sat here for a banquet, surrounded by bronze statues, holding a torch in his hand, a businessman saluting to Peleus and then retreating. After going out, they both ignored it and passed by.
At the beginning of the banquet, a ceremony was first held to God, that is, toasting to the ground, and splashing on the ground. After the baptism was completed, Pereus said gently: ”Two distinguished guests, please sit down!”
Perus was one of Argo's heroes, the husband of the goddess of the sea, Tis, the grandson of Zeus, and the son of Eacos. At this time, it appeared that he had white hair.
The feast includes food, fruit, wine, dancing dancers, bards singing poetry, and noble warriors performing swordplay.
But these did not attract the attention of Paramodes and Odysseus, who have been watching the reaction of Pelous since the banquet.
When they saw that Perus was only entertaining, eating, drinking, and having fun, he did not mention the Greek coalition at all. They knew immediately that they had invited Perus to defeat Troy.
The entire banquet was also watching Paramodes and Odysseus, thinking of the message from the merchant, slowly speaking, saying: ”Prince Paramodes, King Odysseus, yours Come here, I already know, but I ’m old and I ca n’t join the war. ”
Paramodes stood up and said, ”But you've also drank Helen and Menelaus's feast, and vowed and promised that if anyone would destroy Helen and Menelaus, Will marry him together. ”
Odysseus immediately felt Paramodes's ”straightening” again, and laughed inwardly, but did not say a word, watching Pelous' reaction.
”Yes, I once made such an oath, but I am old, and even if I want to go, I feel helpless. I believe the gods will forgive me.” Perhaps because Paramodes is from euboea Prince, this is the second largest island in Greece and can be regarded as a great country. Therefore, Peleus was still very polite. Seeing Paramodus wanted to speak again, Peleus slightly raised his right hand and motioned him to wait and continue: ”I Ben had a son who could take part in the battle for me, but he disappeared when he was nine years old. I asked for a shrine and said that he was alive, but I couldn't find it. ”
Achilles was the son of Pergolese, the hero of Argo, and the goddess of the sea, Titus. When he was born, the goddess mother also wanted to make him a man of God. She carried Perseus at night and immersed her son in the Styx In the daytime, she healed her son with a magic drug.
She had been doing this for several nights, and once, Peleus was secretly peeping, yelling when he saw his son twitching in the Styx.
This prevented Pettis from fulfilling her secret mission. She sadly left her son and did not want to go back to the palace. She hid in the kingdom of the sea and lived with the fairy Nereides.
Thinking that his son had been seriously injured, Peleus sent him to the famous doctor, Karong.
The half-man, half-horse, Chiron is a clever Kentolos who has retained and raised many heroes. He kindly adopted the child and fed him with lion liver pig gall and bear bone marrow.
When Achilles was nine years old, the Greek prophet Carcas predicted that the future Troy would not be able to fight without the son of Perus.
Achilles' mother heard of this prophecy and knew that the battle would sacrifice her son's life, so she quickly floated to the surface, dived into her husband's palace, put on her girl's clothes, and sent him to Skulos To King Lukomodes.
This is why Achilles disappeared when he was nine years old, and Perus searched for him.
Pelius finally sighed: ”Prince Paramodes, King Odysseus, if I have a son, I can fight for me.”
Paramodes and Odysseus heard what Perus had said about this, and knew what to say was useless, and it was imperative to try to find Achilles' son Achilles.
After Paramedus and Odysseus resigned to Perus, they came out of Perez's palace and went directly to the Greek prophet Carcas.
Karcas is a great Greek prophet. Many of his predictions are extremely accurate. Everyone believes in his predictions very much, and thinks that he is a messenger of God.
The two trek to find Karcas's residence, and just wanted to enter the mansion from the main entrance, and saw a veiled woman coming out of Karcas's residence.
”This woman is not mortal.” Odysseus felt the breath of the mysterious woman carefully, thinking to herself.
After the woman went far, the two met the Greek prophet Carcas.
Carcas watched the two come together, asked to sit down, and said with regret, ”You are here to ask the whereabouts of Prince Achilles, unfortunately, the war was launched too quickly, Achilles Not yet fifteen years old and cannot join the war. ”
”But you once said that to attack Troy, Achilles must participate in the war, otherwise Troy will not be able to capture it.” Paramodus said.
