"Prince Melagros's spear."
"Craftsman's hammer."
"Poet's harp."
Gesne found him a few items that had been used by famous people and people with great memories. Luckily, this era did not care about antiques, unless the item itself had a certain value. Hence, these items were not expensive. He just needed to put in some effort. Pei Zi Yun slowly digested the items that had been entrusted to him.
Among these items, three were effective, and the spear of Melagros was the most valuable one.
'The knowledge of the poets and craftsmen only allowed me to understand the common knowledge of this world. But the spear of Melagros not only supplemented the language and knowledge, but also the news and knowledge of the gods that only the royal family knows.'
This allowed Pei Zi Yun to have a deeper understanding of this world. Of course, he had also mastered some skills. He carefully recalled his memories and focused on one point. 'Prince Melagros's wild boar hunting this time, the hero of the previous generation, Ison, also participated? The spear he threw did not hit the wild boar, but hit the hunting dog of his own people. '
As he thought about it, he could not help but shake his head. Ison was too good at playing tricks.
'In this world where great power belongs to the individual, every hero will improve in strength through the training of great deeds. As for fame and wealth, they are secondary!'
'Every adventure that Hercules took was completed by himself. Every time he experienced an adventure, his strength would increase. Therefore, his achievements were the greatest!'
'In the end, he even established his own kingdom and succeeded in extending it.'
'Ison, on the other hand, relied on his comrades, schemes, and women for everything. He was so smart that he became muddled. No wonder he could not sit firmly on the throne even after he seized it.'
Pei Zi Yun thought about it and stood up to look. In the garden, Onnie was not idle. She was currently instructing the servants to work. Actually, she did not need to do these things herself. She could totally let the servants handle these things, but Onnie liked it that way.
Pei Zi Yun wiped his sweat and walked to the window. Looking at Onnie's face that was filled with happiness, he could not help but smile.
At this moment, Gesne rushed in from outside and knelt on one knee. He reported to Pei Zi Yun, "Prince Paris, I just received news that a few princes who responded to the call for help have met with trouble. One of their ships was hit by a sea demon, and they are now sending a request for help to the king."
"Oh, Epopus failed? A ship had sunk and was asking for help? Although I knew that Ephobus wouldn't be able to do much and that he would definitely return in failure, I didn't expect him to be defeated so quickly. Although that guy's abilities aren't that great, he should be able to escape unscathed against some ordinary Sirens, right? Are the sea demons that powerful this time? "
"By the way, how is Hector?"
"Prince Paris, Prince Hector has already left for the palace after hearing the news. It seems like he's ready to go to war!" Gnis said. His responsibility was to keep an eye on all sorts of movements in the city.
"Then let's go immediately." When Pei Zi Yun heard that Hector had gone to the palace, he immediately stood up and called out to him. Hearing this, Onone quickly prepared Pei Zi Yun's clothes and helped him dress.
He was clad in a white tunic, with leather armor on the outside, leather gauntlets, and a bronze belt with a short sword hanging from it. With this set of equipment on his body, Pei Zi Yun looked even more imposing and valiant than before.
After putting on his clothes, Pei Zi Yun turned around and looked at himself in the bronze mirror. He smiled at Onone and said, "My dear, the financial problems you were worried about will not be a problem very soon."
Although the king and queen had paid for the wedding, and the guests had also sent gifts, the purchase of slaves and servants, the training of warriors, and the recruitment of spies had all been spent like water. Seeing that they were going to be emptied soon, Onone was very worried.
"Paris, you've already found a way to make money?" Onone asked. The Greeks did not shy away from talking about money. On the contrary, wealth, power, and glory were their most straightforward pursuits.
Even the gods loved gold!
"You can say that. When I return, I won't have to worry about finances anymore." With a series of laughter, Pei Zi Yun strode out of the room.
"Is the carriage ready?" Pei Zi Yun asked Gesne.
"Don't worry, Prince. The carriage was prepared long ago," Gesne said respectfully. He was becoming more and more like a subordinate.
"Mm."
Pei Zi Yun's purpose in going to the palace was very clear. He wanted to snatch away Hector's opportunity to go out to sea. In the eyes of outsiders, he was helping his father and brother. Not only would he not be hated, he would even be praised.
The most important thing was that when Ephobus and Troilos both failed, he would be able to turn the tide and kill the sea demons in one fell swoop. When that happened, his reputation would surpass the two princes, and he would officially become the second prince!
Also, when he destroyed the sea demons at sea, he would receive gifts from the captains and merchants. The person involved would hand over half of the goods, and the other captains and merchants would also give him a portion of the goods.
In the eyes of Da Xu, this was an inconceivable thing, but here, it was a matter of course. Whether it was the sea, the mountains, or the forests, there were monsters everywhere. If he did not do this, who would come to save him next time?
For these kinds of merchants, they could just play the role of bandits and kill the monsters together, and everyone would still praise them.
That was why Pei Zi Yun was so confident that he could solve his financial predicament. The prerequisite was that he had the power of a hero.
Request for battle
The palace
King Priam looked at Hector and sighed, "If that's the case, you will have to go to Tenedos Island and destroy the sea demons."
"Don't worry, father. I will definitely kill the sea demons and save my two brothers." Hector looked at his father and saw that he was frowning deeply, and said loudly.
King Priam looked worried, and deep wrinkles appeared on his face. He shook his head and said, "I'm not just worried about the sea demons. I believe you can kill them."
"I feel that there is no one available!"
"Aeschylus and Hellenos learned divination and became prophets. A city can't do without prophets, but Polyxena is already one. What I need more is a real warrior!"
"Chromius, Eckenmon, Lycaon, Permon … Sigh, I can be a captain of a hundred men, but I won't be able to go beyond that, let alone Temokon and Gorgitson."
"I had placed my hopes on Ephobus and Troilus, but I didn't think … the whole of Troy can only rely on you, right?"
"Father, Ephobus and Troilus are still young. After this incident, they will grow up. Besides, we have many allies and many heroes."
King Priam shook his head, "Years ago, Hercules joined forces with King Peleus and King Telamon of Aegina to attack us. They killed my father, Laomedon, and almost all my brothers. They robbed my sister, Hesione. I was lucky enough to gain my freedom and rebuild Troy. At that time, there were internal and external troubles. In order to survive and develop, I had no choice but to curry favor with the nearby cities."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that many cities are our friends and have a close relationship with us. But there is no other way. Only Troy's own strength can be relied on."
"Father, is this what you think? No wonder you accepted Paris, who won the archery championship. "
Hector was not a fool. He thought to himself. Suddenly, someone rushed in and shouted, "Dear father, brother is the pillar of the city. How can you send him out for such a small matter? This shows that the prince of Troy is too incompetent. Father, let me go out to battle. I will definitely destroy the sea demons that are wreaking havoc near the sea. "
Hector turned around and saw Paris. He was wearing a white tunic and covered with leather armor. He had a short sword in his hand. He walked over in a heroic manner. He shook his head, "Paris, it's good that you have such intentions. But you are only a newlywed. Besides, you have never been out to sea before. It's too unsafe."
Hector was sincere. Paris had been herding sheep on Mount Ida for a long time. Although he was good at archery, it did not mean that he could go into battle. This was a completely different matter.
Even he himself had to go from simple to difficult, and only after many battles did he get used to it.
"When I returned to the city, I have been taken care of by father and brother, but I have not done anything. I feel sorry for that. I want to share the burden of father and brother." Pei Zi Yun said, "As for battle formations, I have already learned them from the city. Lauducos is a good opponent."
Lauducos was the son of Elder Antenole, and Antenole was one of the higher-ups of the Trojans. He had once assisted Priam in rebuilding Troy from the ruins. This person was quite capable and had quite a bit of prestige among the Trojans.
However, Antenole did not like Paris, because this could bring disaster to the whole of Troy. But according to the news, even Antenole had to admit that Prince Paris was a fast learner.
Thinking of this, King Priam nodded happily, "Good, that's a good idea. Go, I will give you three ships of soldiers to bring Ephobus and Troilus back."
Priam did not ask Paris to kill the sea demons. As long as he brought them back, it would be enough to increase his son's experience.
"Yes, father. I will do my best to ensure the safety of my two brothers and bring them home safely," Pei Zi Yun said.
"Father, brother, since you have given me permission, I will go and prepare."
"Go." King Priam nodded with a smile.
Watching Paris leave, the king turned around and said with relief, "Iphobos and Paris don't have a good relationship. On the day of the competition, they even raised their spears at each other. But when he heard that Iphobos was in danger, he immediately went to help. This is good. Blood is thicker than water!"
The king had 15 children. He hoped that his children could love each other and be united. This was so that Troy could become stronger and achieve its desire for revenge.
Now that Paris was willing to help Ephobus, King Priam was very pleased. He said to Hector, "Although Onone is the daughter of the river god, she has just entered the city and does not have many close friends. Let your wife spend more time with her."
This was actually to speed up the integration of Paris and Onone into the upper echelons of Troy.
"Yes, father." Hector nodded and went back to his mansion to tell his wife Androma the king's request. Androma frowned when she heard this request, but did not say much to Hector.
With Hector's personality, he did not care about big things, but he did not care about small things. Androma knew this very well.
Recently, Paris's performance had been very good, and he had received many praises from the king. Androma was very worried that Paris would threaten Hector's position as the heir.
Before Paris came, Hector was the well-deserved heir to Troy. But now, there was a faint trace of change.
Androma did not tell Hector about these worries. She planned to use the opportunity of the king letting her and Ononiedo to see if Paris had any thoughts of competing for the throne.
