Trojan Coast – Leesburg Island
The island was not big, but the vegetation was lush and lush. There were a few depressions where boats could enter, and one was behind a cliff, sheltering them from the wind and rain.
Pei Zi Yun's fleet had stopped here temporarily. The storm had arrived, and they could not return to Troy for the time being. All they could do was avoid the incoming storm.
The clouds in the sky rolled, and the wind howled, sweeping across the black sea. The seawater was swept up by the strong winds, and huge waves were formed, layer upon layer, as though it was the end of the world.
"Boom!" A huge wave rolled up, and hit the island heavily. The soldiers and slaves on the battleship, faced with this irresistible force of nature, all hid in their cabins, huddled together, as though this was the only way to make them feel safe.
For the entire night, the wind howled, and the rain poured down. The entire Leesburg Island was ravaged by the storm.
It was only until dawn that the storm subsided, and the dark clouds dispersed. In the distance, a beautiful rainbow could be seen. The rainbow was close to the sea, as though it was an arch bridge across the sea.
In the cabin of the battleship, Pei Zi Yun gently pulled his hand out of the embrace of Helen, who was in deep sleep. He could not help but sigh. This woman was really flirtatious. No wonder so many people liked her, and did so many irrational things for her. There was Theseus, and there was Paris. Pei Zi Yun could be considered one of them.
Last night, not only was the storm raging, but he and Helen were also crazy for the entire night, and only fell asleep at dawn.
Pei Zi Yun carefully covered Helen with a blanket, and looked at her exquisite face. He could not help but have a thought, 'This woman is mine, no one can take her away from me.'
Since ancient times, heroes have had a weakness for beautiful women. Pei Zi Yun did not expect that even though he was not a hero, he would not be able to resist this beauty. Pei Zi Yun laughed at himself.
Now that he looked at her carefully, he was stunned.
'This charm halo, even if I knew about it, it would be difficult to completely neutralize it.' But now was not the time to admire. Pei Zi Yun woke up, got dressed, and walked out of the room.
At this moment, the wind was gentle, and the rainbow was fading. The soldiers all had smiles on their faces. The weather was clear after the storm, and they were about to return home. They were in a good mood.
As he patrolled the area, his eyes suddenly froze.
A lady appeared in the cabin. She was wearing a long black robe, and her face was covered with a black veil. It should have been very conspicuous, but she was like an illusion. The soldiers around her ignored her. Even if they walked past where she was standing, it was like walking through an illusion. No one saw her at all.
She stood there quietly for a long time.
Although Pei Zi Yun wasn't sure of her identity, he could tell that she was very similar to the mysterious lady he had met last time. However, there were still some differences. In any case, she wasn't an ordinary person. He hurriedly walked over and bowed, "Esteemed lady, what brings you here today?"
The mysterious veiled lady was very satisfied with his attitude and said, "Paris, have you heard the prophecy? You robbed Helen, and your city is about to be destroyed. "
The lady's tone was calm as she walked towards the deck. A light breeze blew past her, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. Pei Zi Yun could even smell her fragrance, but the surrounding sailors still didn't see her.
"Esteemed lady, the great God of the Sea, Nereus, told me that there is a hero who can stop the destruction of the city. I want to be this hero." Pei Zi Yun said.
"Your idea is good, but how do you know that this hero is you? Furthermore, this hero isn't someone you can be just because you want to be. You have to have a certain level of ability, and most importantly, will fate choose you. "
The mysterious lady said as she waved her hand to stop him from speaking. She then continued, "In Greece, Menelaus has already complained to Agamemnon, and Agamemnon has already sent messengers to all the princes and heroes in Greece. They are prepared to attack you and Troy."
She paused and stared into Pei Zi Yun's eyes, and said solemnly, "Even so, you still want to resist? Do you still think you have the strength to resist? "
"Of course, I will fight with all my might until fate ends. Even if fate doesn't choose me in the end, I will not regret it. I would rather die fighting than live a cowardly life. "
The mysterious lady's eyes narrowed. She didn't expect Paris to be so determined. She could feel that Paris's words were not false. Faced with fate, he would make this choice.
"But you might not be able to return to Troy. Helen's brothers, Castor and Polydeuces, have already caught up." The mysterious lady seemed to be trying to scare him.
When Pei Zi Yun heard this, he jumped in fright. His expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure.
"The coast of Troy, Liesburg Island. I seem to remember something."
"No wonder there was such a huge storm last night. It was obviously Poseidon's doing. Yesterday's storm was caused by Poseidon killing the sons of Zeus — Castor and Polydeuces?"
"These two heroes, how strong are they?"
"If my guess is correct, then Helen's brothers, Castor and Polydeuces, have already perished in the sea?"
"They sank less than ten nautical miles away from her."
Thinking about this, Pei Zi Yun slowly said, "Respected lady, I believe that Helen's brothers, Castor and Polydeuces, are both legendary heroes with benevolent characters. They will definitely give me a chance to explain. If they still refuse to forgive me, even if I have to face them, I will not back down."
"Is that so? Paris, I look forward to your performance! " The mysterious lady laughed. Her figure melted into the water and slowly disappeared before Pei Zi Yun's eyes, as if she had never been there.
"Who could this mysterious lady be? Gaia? Or an even more mysterious goddess? "Pei Zi Yun shook his head and threw these thoughts to the back of his mind.
At this point, someone pointed to the distant sea and shouted, "Prince Paris, there are corpses on the sea."
At this time, visibility was very high. Pei Zi Yun looked out and saw a few corpses floating on the sea.
Following the corpses, there were many boats floating on the sea. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that these people's boats had been swallowed by the storm last night.
Pei Zi Yun understood and ordered, "Quickly go to the sea and salvage the corpses."
The sailors and slaves obeyed and rowed a few small boats to salvage the corpses. Pei Zi Yun ordered the warship to set sail and followed them. He wanted to take a closer look and confirm if Helen's brothers, Castor and Polydeuces, were among the corpses.
Helen woke up and walked out of her room. Her face was pale and she said, "Paris, I'm panicking. I had a nightmare."
Pei Zi Yun's heart skipped a beat and he comforted her, "Darling, maybe you didn't sleep well last night. You must be exhausted. Go back and rest well."
Helen shook her head and suddenly realized that the warship had set sail and the boats were still salvaging the corpses. She asked, "What are they doing?"
Pei Zi Yun said, "Darling, go back to your room. I just saw the boat that sank in the storm last night. There were also some crew members. We are preparing to salvage them and bury them."
Helen listened to Pei Zi Yun's suggestion and was about to return to her room. However, after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped. Her face was pale as she watched the sailors and slaves scoop up the corpses one by one and onto the deck.
These corpses had not floated on the sea for long. Their faces were pale and swollen. Because of the storm, their corpses had not been swallowed by the fishes, so they looked very clear.
"Ah!" All of a sudden, Helen screamed and fainted. Pei Zi Yun reacted quickly and caught her in his arms. He turned around and looked at the two corpses that had just been salvaged.
The two corpses had been soaked in the sea for an entire night, but they still looked like they were alive. They were not pale and swollen like the other corpses. Pei Zi Yun carried the fainted Helen and looked at the corpses of the two legendary heroes.
"These are the corpses of Castor and Polydeuces? Indeed, with one look, I can tell the difference between a strong hero and a normal person. "
"Even though they are dead, I can still feel that their corpses are twice as strong as mine!"
Pei Zi Yun could finally feel the strength of the legendary heroes up close. This gave him a better understanding of the power levels of the Greek world.
"Even though they are dead, I can still feel the strong bloodline in their bodies. I can only harvest their souls now. I feel that this is a big limitation. In the Greek world, the body and bloodline are the foundation of power."
"Also, harvesting souls will cause a lot of trouble. The gods value souls very much. If I continue harvesting like this, I will be discovered sooner or later."
"If only I could harvest bloodlines. The power contained in them is not bad."
"I can feel that the power in the corpses is quickly evaporating. The corpses will either be cremated or decomposed. That would be a waste."
As he thought about this, the system moved. A Plum Blossom appeared in front of him and enlarged rapidly, turning into an information interface with a faint light.
"The Gods place great importance on the souls of heroes. Their eyes are everywhere, and when faced with their gazes, you will be helpless. Spend 5 Fate Points to change the harvesting method. You will only harvest the bloodline of heroes and not their souls.
Pei Zi Yun was stunned. "I can harvest bloodlines without harvesting souls? This relieves my worries. If I harvest souls in front of the gods like last time, I'll definitely be discovered after a few times. "
Pei Zi Yun thought about this and looked at his fate points. He only had 7, but without hesitation, he tapped on it.
There were no changes. Looking at the corpses, he shouted, "Harvest!"
There were no changes.
Pei Zi Yun frowned and tried to understand the information. "In the Greek world, unless I send someone to kill them, I cannot harvest them. Moreover, the killing factor must be more than 50%? Is this a restriction given to me by the system? Or does the system have to follow some kind of rule? "
"It is a pity for the bloodline in front of me. Perhaps I can only see the difference when I hunt for heroes next time."
The heroes of this world contained a trace of the bloodline of the gods, including Paris, who had the bloodline of Zeus. As long as he harvested a certain number of heroes, he might be able to usher in an earth-shattering qualitative change.
