Dawn was breaking. There were a few broken stars in the sky, and the clouds looked as though they had been soaked in blood. Fog covered the sea and the islands, but it did not hinder the fleet from working.
"Quick, rescue the people who fell into the water!"
"Bandage the wounded and apply some ointment."
The warship was professional. The captain and chief officer quickly gave out orders, and the crew moved according to their orders. Although they were nervous, the anxiety in the crowd had dissipated.
Prince Iphobos and Prince Troilus had already boarded their ships. Even the merchant Kliman immediately grabbed a rope thrown to him and climbed up the ship's ladder to check on the damage to the goods and people.
Pei Zi Yun had already talked to the people and arranged everything. He could not suppress the joy in his heart, and his mind sank into the space.
In the darkness of the void, there was a small palace suspended in the air. Pei Zi Yun had just landed when he heard the sound of struggling.
Then, he came into contact with a thin layer of fog. Only when he got closer did he see that there was a mini Siren struggling fiercely in the hall. But no matter how it struggled, it was firmly suppressed. And every time it struggled, a part of its power would be extracted and turned into fog.
"Indeed, killing this monster is the same as killing demons. I can gain strength."
Ever since he came to this world, Pei Zi Yun's strength had not increased very quickly. Even when Gesne wrote poems to promote him, and when he absorbed items, there was not much change in his strength. The increase was very small, and it was a far cry from the rapid increase in strength in the previous world.
In the end, the function of the space was not fully utilized. This expedition was to test if this method would work.
And it was successful.
But the strange thing was that the harpy could not be absorbed by the space. Otherwise, the harvest would be even greater.
"System!"
Pei Zi Yun shouted, but the Plum Blossom did not appear immediately. A message was sent to him, and he could not help but think, "The system is transforming?"
But after a short while, a Plum Blossom appeared in front of him and quickly enlarged, turning into a translucent information interface. It floated in front of him with a faint sense of light, and data appeared in front of him.
"Key point obtained. The system is undergoing transformation, officially starting the mission series of this world."
"Offer the head of the Siren to Artemis, and the skin of the Siren to Apollo."
"Hero Bloodline: Level One (23.7%)"
In the blink of an eye, the number changed from 23.7% to 23.8%. Although the increase was only a decimal point, it was still increasing at a rapid pace.
Pei Zi Yun mumbled to himself, "Both of them are at the tenth level? The first and second stages of the Hero Bloodline are extraordinary strength. This is the foundation of all Hero Bloodlines. "
"With this victory, I believe that my reputation will increase by quite a bit. It won't be long before I can smoothly advance to the second level."
"If that's the case, then the process of transforming a human into a God should be carried out after the tenth layer. What a long way to go."
He didn't dare to stare any longer and quickly came back to his senses. Indeed, someone came to report, "Prince Paris, everything is ready."
At this point, everyone was looking at Pei Zi Yun in a different light.
The soldiers on the three ships were initially respectful with a hint of scrutiny. Although they knew that this prince had defeated Hector in the archery competition, this was a battlefield, and it was completely different from a competition. At that time, they had respected the title of prince, but now, it had become respect and love.
Not only was Prince Paris an excellent archer, but he was also so brave that he could even defeat the sea monsters alone.
The slaves looked at their masters in a different light. Even the people in the caravan looked at him with respect.
Pei Zi Yun nodded and asked, "Has the sea monster's corpse been disposed of?"
"Prince Paris, the merchants are very experienced. They used thick ropes to tie up the sea monster's corpse and used a few ships to drag it. It seems like this isn't the first time they've done this."
Pei Zi Yun looked up and saw a few ships pulling the sea monster's corpse, quietly anchored on the sea.
"Very good, let's head back to Troy now." Pei Zi Yun waved his hands and gave the order to set sail.
Mount Etna
The snow on the peak of the mountain never melted, and there was a thick layer of smoke surrounding the peak. In the forest, a demon with the body of a bird flapped its wings, trying to land in the forest.
"Xiu." At this point, an arrow came out of nowhere and hit its head, causing it to fall to the ground. It opened its mouth and wanted to tell Pei Zi Yun what had happened, but it couldn't speak. A large amount of blood flowed from its body, and it was dead.
The forest was silent for a long time. After a long time, the shadow of a giant appeared in the blood of the demon and whispered, "Although you didn't tell me, I know. The moment the sea monster died, I felt a treasure. It was a gift from fate. As long as I devour it, I will be able to break free from its suppression and attack the Olympic Mountains."
Ti Feng had been suppressed by Zeus in Mount Etna, but he didn't die. Day and night, he thought of ways to break free and attack the Olympic Mountains.
In the Underworld
The gloomy sky was shrouded in darkness, and there was no light. Only the wind blew, and gray fog lingered in the air. There was a faint silhouette of a person, thin and expressionless.
At this point, the soul of the demon slowly moved towards the Underworld. Just as it was about to land on the ground, a woman's hand grabbed it. A light flashed in her eyes, and she whispered, "Troy, Paris?"
"Aren't these Troy and Paris part of Zeus's plan to clean up the land?"
"Why did Ti Feng and I come? I sent an avatar here. Is there something wrong with Zeus's plan? "
The woman said doubtfully. After thinking for a moment, she squeezed the soul of the demon in her hand and crushed it.
"Anyway, it's good to cause some trouble for Zeus."
"But the sudden appearance of sea monsters near the Aegean Sea's Tenedos Island might attract attention."
"Fine, then let sea monsters appear everywhere."
Then the woman's voice disappeared.
"Prince Paris's fleet has returned successfully. They have rescued the trapped Princes Ephobus and Troydos, as well as the caravan. They have also killed the harpies and the sea monsters. They even dragged the bodies of the sea monsters back!"
The news spread like wildfire. Everyone rushed to the docks to see the bodies of the sea monsters. The bodies of the sea monsters were ten feet long and six feet tall. Many citizens who were watching exclaimed.
"It is said that the heads of the sea monsters can be made into the bow of ships, which can shelter them from the wind and rain."
"The skin of the sea monsters can also be made into a few pieces of leather armor. Although they are not invulnerable, the bronze spears and swords of mortals will not be able to hurt them."
"If we sell them, we can get at least two thousand gold coins." On the stone pavement, Gesne, who had rushed over, saw it and his eyes lit up.
He only heard Prince Paris instructing, "Gesne, I do not want to sell these. Quick, take the sea monster's head and skin. I want to offer it to the great Artemis and Apollo!"
Seeing that Gesne was stunned, Pei Zi Yun smiled and said, "Reverence for the gods is the first priority. But you can handle the rest."
"Alright." Gesne raised his hands helplessly to show his surrender. He looked at the sea monster again and heard Pei Zi Yun say in a low voice, "Have you heard that eating sea monster meat can boost one's sexual potential?"
"Have you heard that eating sea monster meat can help one escape a disaster at sea?"
"Have you heard that eating sea monster meat can help children become smarter and have a brighter future?" Pei Zi Yun patted his friend's shoulder and did not continue speaking, because the war chariot had already pulled the sea monster's head and skin over.
"Go to the Temple of Artemis." As Pei Zi Yun instructed, the chariot drove off, leaving Gesne standing there in a daze. After a long time, he finally understood and came to his senses. Looking at the sea monster's body, it was as if he was looking at a small silver mountain.
"Sea monsters are not commonly seen. According to the rumors, one pound of its meat can be sold for one silver coin."
"Just by selling the meat, I can earn twenty thousand silver coins? Moreover, the Sea Monster's penis can be sold for one pound of gold. " After calculating this number, Gesne cried out involuntarily, "Oh, Prince Paris, on this point, looking at you is like looking at the hydra Hydra Hydra. If you become a merchant, you will definitely be rich enough to rival a country!"
Temple of Artemis
There was a sacred forest around them, with some sika deer wandering around. There were servants guarding the entrance, and a few ladies from the temple were plucking flowers from afar. They wore garlands of flowers, and looked extremely youthful.
Paris led the soldiers into the sacred forest, and immediately felt an influence. A pair of eyes stared at him from above.
Feeling the gaze, Pei Zi Yun's heart skipped a beat. It seemed like his actions had attracted the attention of the gods. Some of the people who came out from the temple looked at the huge sea monster's head on the chariot and exclaimed in shock.
At this point, the priest came out from the temple, and Pei Zi Yun shouted, "I am Prince Paris. I have rescued the trapped prince and the merchant group, and even killed the harpy and sea monster. All of this was the will of the gods, which allowed me to achieve victory."
"I am willing to offer the sea monster's head to the mighty Artemis."
Hearing Pei Zi Yun's loud shout, the priest was taken aback. He looked at Pei Zi Yun with a hint of respect, "So it's Prince Paris. May the God of Hunting, Artemis, continue to protect you."
The priest spoke to Pei Zi Yun. Since the gods were aware of this, the priest did not say anything more, and led Pei Zi Yun into the temple.
The corridors of the temple were made up of pillars, and were all carved out of marble. The pillars were carved with different shapes and sizes. In the middle of the temple, there was an altar, where the statue of the goddess Artemis was placed. The statue was taller than a real person. According to the legends, the goddess wore a crown on her head, and was flanked by beasts. She held a staff in her hands, and carried a bow and arrows on her back.
Pei Zi Yun bowed and received the sea monster's head from the slave and placed it on the altar. As soon as the sea monster's head disappeared from the altar, Pei Zi Yun understood that the gods had taken a liking to this sea monster.
The priest stood respectfully by the side, and seemed to have heard the words spoken. He knelt down in front of the altar, and saw a golden cup appear in the air and land on the altar.
Seeing the golden cup appear, the priest's face was filled with jealousy. This was a gift from the gods, and a sign of their grace. Although he had served the gods for decades, he had never received such a gift. At this point, he knelt down in front of the gods. The gods then whispered into the priest's ears, "Go and offer this to the prince who has offered his sacrifice. Tell him that this is my gift, and that I am very satisfied with his sacrifice."
The priest then knew that this prince had received the attention of the gods.
"Prince Paris, the gods are very satisfied with your sacrifice, and are willing to bless you. You will be lucky in your hunt." The priest announced this to the crowd. The soldiers who remained in the temple and the onlookers all shouted, "Paris, Prince Paris!"
