After the battle, the Trojans took off their armor and held a funeral.
Pei Zi Yun and Aeneas took a bath, washing away the dust and blood stains. They slaughtered the pigs and lambs on the ship, and even slaughtered the bull as a sacrifice to the gods.
According to the legends of the Greeks, without a funeral, one could not enter the underworld of Hades!
The two of them ordered the soldiers to cut down the trees and chop them into firewood. The ordinary soldiers were piled on top of the firewood, while the seven heroes were given their own beds. They were even anointed with incense and buried with gifts.
Pei Zi Yun ordered all the soldiers to wear their armor and get on the chariot. He took a step back and cut off a lock of his hair. He looked at the sea and said, "Ah, princes and heroes, you and I have killed each other because of fate. Now, please do not be offended and accept our sacrifice!"
As he said this, he lit the firewood and waited for the pile to burn to ashes. The bones of the heroes were placed in boxes, and stones and mud were used to build the graves.
When all of this was done, Pei Zi Yun and Aeneas parted ways. They left on the ship and headed towards the Amazon.
The ship sailed on the vast sea, the azure blue water splashing against the bow of the ship. The weather was clear, and there were no clouds in the sky. The deep blue sky and the azure blue water intertwined, and finally met in the sky. It was a scene that filled one's imagination.
Pei Zi Yun stood on the deck and looked out at the azure blue sea. He was deep in thought. It was only after the ship had sailed for a long time that he wiped his sweat, as if he had been relieved of a huge burden.
"Finally, there are no gods watching me, and the last person I saw was Hephaestus?"
Ever since Pei Zi Yun had started this plan, there had been gods watching his every move. Even after he left Tenedos Island, there were not as many gods watching him as when he was on the island. However, there were still gods watching him from time to time. It was only now that the pressure was completely released.
"That's strange. I feel hatred. Why? Out of all the people I killed, who was related to it? "Pei Zi Yun wondered. He had no idea who he had killed to offend Hephaestus.
The sons of Diocles, Chrysostom and Orsicorus, the son of Hercules, Thelepalemus, the half-brother of Ajax, and three heroes who were not even princes.
"Great Ajax's half-brother, Toklos, may have some Hephaestus blood in him, but he is not close."
"The other Hero Bloodlines are even more distant from Hephaestus. Maybe it's because of some other reason that they hate him?"
"That's true. I killed seven heroes by trickery. Each of them was blessed by the gods. In other words, I offended at least a few gods."
When Pei Zi Yun was executing this plan, he had already considered the possibility of offending the gods by killing these heroes.
However, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He could openly obtain the power of these heroes, so he would definitely not give up. He could only let go.
"Even if I have the protection of Apollo, and am in line with Zeus's wishes, and have done this in the name of Ares, if I continue to stay in Troy, I'm afraid I will meet with the dark hands of the gods."
"Leaving Troy now, and heading to the Amazon Kingdom, is to avoid the limelight."
Pei Zi Yun had thought through all of this very thoroughly. Now that he was far away from Troy, it would be a good form of protection for himself.
Thinking of this, Pei Zi Yun shouted, "System!"
Following the call, a Plum Blossom appeared in front of him. It quickly enlarged and turned into an information interface with a faint sense of light. He looked at it.
"Hero Bloodline: Level Five (191.7%)"
"Revenge Mission: In the name of Ares and Queen Pentecilea, divide Achilles and Agamemnon, annihilate a team of Greeks, and deal a heavy blow to the allied Greek forces. (Completed)"
"In fact, I'm almost at the seventh level now. The power required to level up is getting stronger and stronger. However, after killing seven heroes, I can at least reach the eighth level, and maybe even more."
Pei Zi Yun was deep in thought. He looked at the mission again and clicked on it.
"3 Fate Points, this reward is very generous. Now I have 23 Fate Points. I'm only 2 Fate Points away from the Oracle."
Mount Olympus
The gods gathered in the palace at the top of the mountain for a banquet. This banquet would be held on Mount Olympus once in a while.
Zeus sat on a throne of gold and ivory. The gods sat around him. Apollo played the harp, and the beautiful Callites danced. The gods were intoxicated by the gentle and melodious singing of Muse.
As the battle continued, the red mist in the middle of the banquet became thicker and thicker. This meant that more and more people had died in this battle.
To Zeus, this was a good thing. He wanted to use this opportunity to weaken the influence of the human heroes.
In the middle of the red mist, the image finally stopped at the scene of Pei Zi Yun standing on the deck, looking out at the sea. The gods looked away, no longer paying attention to Pei Zi Yun.
In this battle, the gods did not have much of a reaction. Everyone knew Zeus' intentions, and no one would be so unlucky as to go against Pei Zi Yun.
If they did so, they would be openly going against Zeus' will. When the time came, they would be the unlucky ones.
The gods did not move, except for one. That was the god of fire, Hephaestus. He looked at Pei Zi Yun with hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Apollo looked at the god of fire's hateful eyes and felt a little strange. As far as he knew, among the heroes that Paris had killed, there was no one who had the blood of Hephaestus.
Artemis seemed to understand the confusion in Apollo's heart. She patted Apollo's arm and pointed at Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and smiled.
Apollo had a look of sudden realization. He understood why Hephaestus hated Paris.
Aphrodite liked brave and handsome young men, and Pei Zi Yun was becoming more and more in line with her beauty standards. She looked at Pei Zi Yun with tenderness in her eyes.
However, Hephaestus saw the way Aphrodite looked at Pei Zi Yun, and his heart was filled with jealousy.
Everyone knew that Hephaestus was deeply in love with his wife, Aphrodite, and would naturally hate anyone who attracted his wife's gaze.
Pei Zi Yun had attracted the attention of the goddess of love, and this caused Hephaestus to be filled with hatred towards Pei Zi Yun.
"Poor Paris, he has unknowingly offended another god." Apollo shook his head helplessly. The gods that Paris had offended included Hera and Hephaestus.
Although Apollo had promised to protect Paris, if Paris had offended too many gods, he would not be able to protect him forever. Fortunately, Zeus was still protecting him, so he did not have to worry about Paris's safety.
In this battle of Troy, Paris had already killed quite a number of heroes. And among these heroes who had been killed, more or less, they had the bloodline of a god. Zeus still needed Paris to continue living. None of the gods had laid their hands on Paris yet. Once Zeus felt that Paris's existence had become dispensable, he would be in a dangerous situation.
Even with Apollo's protection, there was no guarantee of his safety.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively. The gods were all smiling as they ate the fruits and roasted meat on the table, savoring the wine in their hands. To the eternal beings, the battle of Troy was just a decoration in their lives, and would not affect them in the slightest.
The gods only needed to occasionally pay attention to the progress of the battle. At other times, they would only pay attention when there was a major event that would decide the direction of the battle.
At this time, Hera stood up slowly and walked in front of Zeus, pouring him a cup of wine. Zeus drank it in one gulp, and the obedient Hera had already peeled a grape and placed it in Zeus's mouth.
"Great God, great Zeus, your punishment of the Greeks should be over, right?" Hera asked at the right time.
"No, the Greeks will still be attacked, until they invite Achilles."
In Zeus's heart, Achilles was the most dangerous of the human heroes. Only by letting Achilles participate in the battle could he weaken the Trojans, and at the same time, accumulate the hatred of the gods towards Achilles.
Once Achilles was eliminated, the problem would be solved.
Hera's heart skipped a beat when she heard Zeus's words. She knew that Zeus had made up his mind, and no matter how she tried to persuade him, it might not work.
Zeus's majestic gaze swept across the gods in the banquet hall, and he slowly said, "Listen, all of you. In this battle, if anyone dares to help the Trojans or the Greeks, I will throw him into Tartarus."
Tartarus was a synonym for hell, and it was the underworld of hell.
When the gods heard Zeus's words, they could not help but feel a chill in their hearts. They knew that during this period of time, they could not easily intervene in the battle between the Greeks and the Trojans.
The banquet continued for a while before it was announced to be over. The gods returned to their mansions on Mount Olympus with complicated feelings.
Zeus waited for the gods to leave, and said to Hermes, who had not left yet, "Help me look after them. This time, there is no room for mistakes in the battle of Troy. If any of them are up to mischief, you must tell me immediately."
After saying this, Zeus turned around and left the palace at the top of the mountain. Outside the palace, a Golden Thunder Chariot was quietly parked in front of the palace.
Zeus boarded the Golden Thunder Chariot, and the chariot started slowly. In a short while, it sped into the void at lightning speed.
Mount Aida
Mount Aida was very large, and there was a temple of Zeus at the top of one of the mountains. The temple was a building supported by marble columns, and the five-story staircase was paved with a layer of white marble. The whole temple was enveloped in a layer of holy atmosphere.
The sacred forest outside the temple was filled with all kinds of plants, and there were many bright flowers placed on the path of the sacred forest. At this time, fairies were decorating the neatly arranged flowers.
Zeus rode the Golden Thunder Chariot and galloped in the sky to his heart's content. Soon, he arrived at the top of Mount Aida. Although the Golden Thunder Chariot was huge and galloping in the sky, mortals could not see it.
Zeus drove the Golden Thunder Chariot and slowly stopped at the temple of Mount Aida. He stepped into the temple, sat on the marble throne, and looked down at the city of Troy and the camp of the Greeks from the top of the mountain. He measured the strength of the two sides and did what was best for himself and the gods.
