Prince Troy's Mansion
"Peleus and Thetis have been informed of the message?"
Pei Zi Yun was lying on a wooden recliner. He was not used to the marble chairs in the Greek world. Usually, he would ask the craftsmen at home to make a few wooden chairs according to his wishes. The recliner he was using now was specially made by the craftsmen at home. At this moment, he closed his eyes and listened to Gesne's report quietly. He shouted in his heart, "System!"
A small Plum Blossom appeared and enlarged rapidly. It became a transparent information interface with a faint sense of light.
"Mission: Stop Achilles from participating in the war (Completed)"
"Mission: King of Kings Agamemnon (Completed)"
Although the mission had been confirmed, he still had to listen to Gesne's report.
"Prince Paris, with your guidance, we took a few turns and informed Peleus and Thetis of the message. In the end, the person who reported was not one of us."
"According to the information, it is confirmed that Peleus and Achilles will not participate in the war."
Pei Zi Yun glanced at Gesne and asked, "Are you sure that Achilles did not come?"
"Yes, I'm sure," Gesne said firmly.
Pei Zi Yun nodded his head in satisfaction.
In the original script, Achilles had participated in the meeting on Oris Island. Now that he had not come, it was because Pei Zi Yun had brought forward the progress of the war. Achilles was too young and could not participate.
In this case, the strength of the Troy and Greek allied forces would not be too far apart. It would be convenient for him to harvest heroes. After a few years, Achilles would be able to participate in the war. Pei Zi Yun's strength would also increase, and he would not have to be afraid of Achilles.
"However, the heroes and princes of the various Greek kingdoms and cities responded to King Agamemnon's call. They led their warships to Oris and elected King Agamemnon as the commander-in-chief of the allied forces."
"According to your orders, we hinted that we were Agamemnon's men. We bribed someone and shouted the slogan 'King Agamemnon is the King of Kings'."
Gesne stood at the side, holding a piece of parchment. He bowed and reported the information he had gathered during this period of time to Pei Zi Yun.
"Oh? Agamemnon became the commander-in-chief of the Greek allied forces and did not refute the title of King of Kings? "Pei Zi Yun asked.
"Yes, Prince Paris."
Hearing this, Pei Zi Yun let out a cold laugh.
In the original script, Agamemnon already had the ambition to unify Greece. Even without his help, he was suppressed by Zeus and died a horrible death.
Now that Achilles was missing, if he didn't immediately tear off his clothes to express his rejection when he called out the King of Kings, then it would be confirmed that this was Zeus' domain.
Even if Zeus did not have the intention to eliminate Agamemnon from the start, knowing Agamemnon's intentions, he would still have the intention to kill him. However, Agamemnon was after all a descendant of Zeus. Perhaps he would follow the script and give Agamemnon a warning. Rather than saying it was a warning, it would be more accurate to say that it was a choice. Pei Zi Yun thought about the trouble that the allied forces had encountered when they left the port. He then said, "Gesne, arrange for someone to check if Agamemnon is preparing to go hunting."
In the original script, Agamemnon killed the sika deer of the goddess Artemis while hunting. The goddess was very angry. When the warships of the Greek Coalition Army planned to leave the port, she let the port calm down, and the ships could not sail out of the Gulf of Oris.
Everyone did not understand what had happened. Later on, they found the prophet Calchas and found out that Agamemnon had killed the sika deer of the goddess Artemis while hunting. This resulted in such an outcome.
Calchas told everyone that there was only one way to solve this problem, and that was to sacrifice Agamemnon's own daughter, Iphigenia.
After much thought, Agamemnon finally chose to kill his own daughter in order to consolidate his power. However, this method also caused Agamemnon to be killed.
"Actually, this is only on the surface. The real choice is — if Agamemnon gives up his position as the commander-in-chief in order to protect his daughter, this proves that he does not have the ambition to become the King of Kings.
"In this case, Agamemnon will regain the trust of Zeus. Not only will he continue to be the commander-in-chief, he will also be rewarded.
"However, if he chooses to kill his own daughter in order to consolidate his power, although he has no choice but to be used in the battle against Troy, he will definitely die."
"Should I add more fuel to the fire?" Pei Zi Yun thought and said, "Your men, contact Agamemnon's Queen. I want to pass on a message at a critical moment."
Gesne was a little confused. He did not know why Prince Paris had asked him to investigate whether Agamemnon had hunted or not, and to contact Agamemnon's Queen.
However, there was one good thing about Gesne. Although he was confused, if Prince Paris had given him a clear mission, he would complete it without any hesitation.
Otherwise, Pei Zi Yun would not have valued him more and more.
"Very well, Prince Paris," Gesne replied.
Pei Zi Yun did not notice that the system had created a mission, and was slightly disappointed. "This is probably because I did not need to fan the flames, and the condition for Agamemnon's death has already been met."
He continued to ask, "Have you collected the number of warships that are participating in the alliance meeting?"
"Prince Paris, we do not have the exact number of warships, but according to the observation of our men at Port Oris, there are about five to six hundred warships, and the number is still increasing."
"There are already so many warships? The Greek alliance is very strong. Gesne, continue to monitor the progress of the Greek alliance. Do not be afraid to spend money. If there is any movement, inform me immediately. "
"Alright, Prince Paris."
After understanding this, Pei Zi Yun lay down lazily. "Is there anything else?"
"Everyone has elected King Agamemnon as the commander of the alliance, and has also elected Menelaus, Palamedes and Odysseus as envoys to Troy. It is said that they want to settle the matter peacefully."
"Hehe, settle the matter peacefully? Gesne, do you think that is possible? "Pei Zi Yun opened his eyes and stared at Gesne.
"Prince Paris, this is obviously impossible. If the Greeks really wanted to negotiate peacefully, they would not have sent Menelaus, who was filled with rage. Since they sent him, they would definitely not agree to settle the matter peacefully. Furthermore, according to the reports, one of the envoys, Palamedes, even took his and Agamemnon's gold."
"Oh, Palamedes took Menelaus' and Agamemnon's gold? It seems like the envoys sent to Troy were hoping to settle the matter peacefully. They just wanted to take advantage of the situation and push the responsibility of the war onto Troy. "Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly.
"Isn't Odysseus in the list of envoys? I don't think Odysseus is of the same mind. You have to keep a close eye on the three of them. If there is any movement, inform me immediately. "Pei Zi Yun said.
Pei Zi Yun knew that in the original script, Odysseus was seen through by Palamedes. Since then, he had hated Palamedes and even wanted to kill him.
"Can I make use of the fact that the two of them are not on good terms with each other and create some conflict? I can even get rid of Palamedes before the war starts."
"Odysseus framed Palamedes by secretly burying a sum of gold in Palamedes's tent, and then writing a letter to Palamedes in the name of King Priam, in which he mentioned the gold and thanked Palamedes for betraying the Greeks' military secrets. Odysseus then announced the letter at the meeting of the Greek princes," Odysseus said.
"Odysseus was convicted for this murder. Although he had Athena's protection, he was still forced to wander for ten years."
"Since Odysseus wanted to kill Palamedes, it was easy. I gave the three envoys gold and said that I was praying for peace."
"I also wrote a letter to praise Palamedes for his contributions to Greece. I praised him for inventing lighthouses, scales, measuring devices, calendars, etc."
"Then, I purposely sent it to the wrong place. If Odysseus saw it, Odysseus would most likely be jealous. Because of his intelligence, he would definitely make use of this to kill Palamedes."
"It looks the same as before, and I even helped Odysseus clear many of his crimes. However, I can use this method to make fate think that I was the one who killed Palamedes."
"I can gain fate points and even harvest bloodlines." Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, 'If I were to pursue the matter further, I would have sent gold to the three of them to pray for peace. I wrote a letter to Palamedes to praise him for his contributions to Greece. It was just that the Greeks were wrong.'
Just as he was thinking about this, the Plum Blossom appeared again. It enlarged rapidly and became a transparent information interface. It appeared before his eyes.
"Mission: Stop Achilles from joining the battle (Completed)"
"Mission: King of Kings Agamemnon (Completed)"
"Mission: Lure Odysseus into killing Palamedes early (Incomplete)"
"As expected, there is a mission." Pei Zi Yun tapped lightly, stopping Achilles from joining the battle. He received 3 fate points.
"Indeed, this is the most important thing.
"King of Kings Agamemnon received 1 fate point. Looks like this is just going with the flow, the impact is not that great."
"However, I have 6 fate points now. I have to spend them sparingly in the future."
Pei Zi Yun looked at his own attributes on the system.
"Heroic Bloodline: Level 3 (98.3%)"
"Special Skill: Nimble Wind (34.5%)"
"Special Skill: Copper Infusion (25.6%)"
"After robbing Helen, even if I prepared for a rainy day, my reputation points still dropped. It seems like I have to find other ways to level up faster."
Just as he was thinking, Gesne saw that the prince did not give any instructions for a long time. He kept the parchment and bowed, "Prince Paris, I have reported all the information I have gathered. I shall take my leave now."
"Mm, Gesne, you have worked hard. You have done a good job. You may leave now." Pei Zi Yun said as he watched Gesne leave. He then stood up slowly.
Ever since he leveled up, he had not properly tested out his two special skills. He used his Priestess Sense to feel around him. Realizing that no gods were looking at him, Pei Zi Yun took out a bronze sword.
Pei Zi Yun shouted, "Iron Cast Copper Infusion."
His skin glowed with a metallic luster. He grabbed the bronze sword and cut it on his arm. Only a shallow cut appeared. Pei Zi Yun knew that the power of the Iron Cast Copper Infusion was not bad.
Although the power of bronze weapons could not be compared to the iron weapons of the Great Xu Dynasty, his Iron Cast Copper Infusion was not complete.
Pei Zi Yun was looking forward to it. If his Iron Cast Copper Infusion was maxed out, it would mean that he would be invulnerable. This would be the same as Achilles.
No, it would be better to surpass him. After all, Achilles still had a flaw.
Of course, any defense was relative. If he met the weapons of the gods, he would not be able to defend himself. Pei Zi Yun shook his head and walked into the garden. Both his legs stepped on the ground and his body floated a few meters forward. This was under the condition that he did not use his full strength.
"Agility of the Wind." Pei Zi Yun shouted. In an instant, he felt as if his body was lifted by the wind. With a light tap on the ground, his body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.
This nimble speed and the distance he covered in a single step far exceeded his expectations.
"Not bad, not bad at all. My agility has increased by at least a few percent."
After the experiment, Pei Zi Yun thought to himself, "However, the most important thing now is to watch the show. Now, I just have to wait for the hunting incident to happen and ferment. Agamemnon, what will you choose?"
"Choose your daughter, or choose your throne?"
"This is a choice between life and death."
