Chapter 577： Achilles fights (1/2)

Skulos i.

The island's beautiful scenery, tree-lined, and olive groves make the island of Skuros very civilized. At the same time, the island of Skulos is also rich in spices.

These properties make the residents of Skulos richer, and their lives easier.

Odysseus and the Greek prophet Carcas arrived at Skulous Island by sea boat at this moment. After several months of long sea journey, the outline of Skulous Island was finally seen in the field of vision.

”Finally, at last.” Carcas looked at the distant island in the distance and said, whoever sailed for two months at sea, approaching the destination at this moment, would express sincere joy.

Odysseus was full of worries: ”Our prophet Carcas, it takes almost several months for us to go back and forth. This is too tired and wastes time. Are you sure Achilles is on this island? ”

”I'm sure.” Carcass said seriously, not only did he know where Achilles lived, but also the role Achilles played in the Trojan War, which was God's guidance.

To Achilles, in fact, he has never been out of the sight of God, and any effort by Titus is just useless.

Between the two, the ship approached the port of Skulos Island.

At this moment, there are seven boats on the sea surface, and there are people coming and going in the harbor. Most of them come to Skuros to collect olives and spices.

When the ship came ashore, Odysseus and Carcas disembarked the ship. Odysseus looked at the port with half emotion and envy: ”Skulos is really prosperous.”

He saw the bustling sight in front of him, and thought of his kingdom of Ithaca, and felt that it was incomparable.

”Here are all the merchants who come here to gather spices and olives. This is normal,” Carcas said. ”Let's go and meet our old friend, Lycomedes.”

At the moment, Odysseus and Carcas led a group of soldiers to the palace, and at the gate of the palace, King Lukomodes received the news and was waiting there.

Soon, the chariots of Odysseus and Carcas appeared in the sight of Lycomedes.

When the two of them got out of the car, King Lycomedes greeted him and said enthusiastically, ”Two distinguished guests, welcome to you from afar. I have prepared a rich banquet for you in the palace.”

”King Lycomedes, thank you very much for your warm welcome.” Carcas and Odysseus said, after finishing, they went to the banquet hall of the Royal Palace with Lycomedes.

At the moment in the banquet hall, Lycomedes called all the princes of the kingdom to attend the reception banquet, which shows that he attaches great importance to the arrival of Odysseus and Carcas.

The table in the banquet hall is also full of various barbecued wines.

Odysseus looked at the wine jugs on the table, all of which were set with gold, and the wine glasses were also bronze wine glasses. He couldn't help but think, ”The Kingdom of Skuros is really rich.”

There was a moment of envy in my heart, with a hint of jealousy.

Lycomedes certainly did not know what Odysseus was thinking. At this moment, when everyone was seated, he took up the wine glass full of wine on the table and said, ”Come, let's all toast together. The guests who come are King Odysseus of Ithaca and Greek prophet Carcas. ”

After speaking, I drank it, and others responded to drink the wine in the cup.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very warm. Suddenly, Carcass raised his glass and stood up and said, ”Dear King Lycomedes, thank you very much for your warm hospitality. This time we are serving the Greek coalition commander Agamemnon. Order, hoping to bring Achilles, the son of Perus, you took back to Troy. ”

Lycomodus heard Carcas's request, shook his head, and said, ”Son of Perus? No, no, I can swear to God that I have not adopted Perus' son.”

Lycomodus was resolute in his tone and did not seem to be fraudulent, making Odysseus and Carcas silent for a while.

He continued: ”But the child you are talking about is only a girl. She grew up with my princesses and hasn't seen her for so long. I don't recognize her.”

Odysseus and Carcas were overjoyed, expressing their intention to see the girl.

For the request of the two, Lycomedes was a little unhappy, but finally agreed, and he said, ”Go and call out all the girls in my palace.”

Lycomedes called all the princesses to the banquet room, where Odysseus and Carcas distinguished themselves.

After a while, a group of princesses came over, all of them were about 15 or 16 years old. Odysseus and Carcas left the seat immediately, carefully looked at the many princesses, and looked up and down, trying to get out of these princesses Find some clues.

But no matter how keen the eyes of the two heroes are, they still don't recognize which of them is Achilles in women's clothing.

Odysseus secretly approached Carcass and said, ”Is King Lycomedes tricking, or Achilles not at all?”

Odysseus is very good at using conspiracies and tricks, and it is easy to use others as his own. If something is not satisfactory, he feels that others are also using conspiracy tricks to fool themselves.
