- "Beautiful goddess of love and beauty, and the strongest god on Mount Olympus, son of the god Zeus, please accept my most sincere greetings."
Although Achilles didn't have any good impressions of the adulterer and adulterous couple in front of him at all, because they were both gods, he didn't dare to show any signs of strangeness and saluted the two of them respectfully.
Aphrodite in the gorgeous light beam, her golden eyes stared at Achilles through the light wall in front of her, as if she saw something interesting in him, her eyes were shining with bright luster .
And Ares, the God of War, who was sitting on the throne beside him, was obviously very impressed by Achilles' praise. He nodded with satisfaction and said in a loud voice: "The young demigod Achilleus who surpassed his father Peleus. Si, your powerful combat power surprised me. But your honest words made me have a deep impression of you."
As expected, he is a conceited and face-saving main god. Just a few compliments make him beam with joy. It is no wonder that he is criticized and despised by other main gods.
Achilles bent slightly to lower his posture, held up the magic box in his hand, and said: "The protector of warriors, the guide of war, the judge, we uphold the will of the gods far away. We went to the ocean to find the sealed magic box. Although we endured too many hardships and many partners sacrificed their lives for this, we finally brought this terrible magic box back from the distant ocean. .¡±
"The fighting and fear have made us physically and mentally exhausted, and the death of our partners has made us sad. Please use your endless divine power to remove the bad luck from us, and let the glory of the gods shine on our tired bodies."
This is a very realistic world. Whether it is between people, between gods and gods, or between gods and humans, everything goes straight and there is almost no such thing as beating around the bush.
If a city-state wants to make a certain god their patron saint, then it must come up with something that makes the god excited. And if a certain god wants to become the patron saint of a famous city-state, he must also come up with something that makes the city-state excited.
Just like the city-state of Athens back then, Athena and Poseidon both wanted to be the patron saint of the city. The Athenians bluntly asked the two main gods if the main gods could bring them anything useful.
Athena turned into an olive tree to symbolize peace, and Poseid, the god of the sea, used a trident to turn into a war horse to symbolize war and sorrow. In the end, the Athenians chose peace, worshiped Athena as their patron saint, and renamed their city-state. for Athens.
Of course, this is just a distant legend, but through this story, we can see the straightforward nature of people and gods in the Greek world.
Regarding Achilles¡¯ request for favors, neither Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, nor Ares, the god of war, showed any disgust. Instead, they all had smiles on their faces.
Ares laughed heartily, waved his hand and spread out a divine light, taking the Pandora's Box in Achilles's hand into his own hand. He didn't even take a second look before taking the box into his own. within the country.
After the magic box in his hand disappeared, another piece of golden animal skin appeared between his palms. This was the skin of an unknown beast. The whole body was exuding golden light, and there was a dense breath.
Ares shook the golden animal skin in his hand, looked at Achilles, and said with a smile: "This is a reward given to the heroes who have completed the mission of the gods after the gods of Mount Olympus jointly decided. I believe it will not Let you down."
Looking at the magical animal skin that Ares, the God of War, took out, both Achilles and the other young demigods showed unconcealable joy on their faces.
Every one of them knows that this mission is more difficult than the missions of the gods that most of their ancestors have accepted, and it is even almost impossible to complete.
After sacrificing more than a dozen partners and going through many hardships, they finally completed this difficult task. They could foresee how generous the rewards given by the gods would be.
"Son of Eramis, Theretes, a young demigod from Mycenae, killed two giant snakes during the legendary mission to find Pandora's Box, endured difficulties without flinching, and was rewarded with three bags of gold and ten war horses. .¡±
Under the main hall, after hearing this reward, the demigods all whispered, especially the young demigod whose name was called, with a look of ecstasy on his face.
Three bags of gold and ten war horses, even for these demigods with extraordinary backgrounds, are definitely a huge amount of wealth, enough for them to spend extravagantly.
Although demigods have the blood of gods, they are still mortals after all.Among various human city-states, strong force may allow them to have a high status, but it does not mean that they can occupy the wealth of the city-state.
In Greece in this era, the level of productivity was extremely backward, and the production of land could hardly meet the needs of the city-states. They often needed to obtain wealth through overseas trade and barbaric wars.
This is absolute. No one in a city-state is willing to share their wealth with others. Even those powerful demigods are not qualified to occupy the legal property of the citizens of this city-state.
If you want to have wealth, you must make enough contributions to the city-state, or plunder the wealth of foreigners in foreign wars.
In this backward era, three bags of gold are equivalent to the total income of a small city-state for several months. Even many kings would not be able to save so much gold in less than ten or twenty years.
At the end of the clan commune, in every city-state, although the king had great power, he did not have the power of life and death over legal citizens and the absolute right to possess the kingdom's wealth.
Just like Agamemnon of Mycenae, as the king of kings, although he is the most noble king, he does not have arbitrary rights on major kingdom affairs such as foreign wars and needs to be voted on by a meeting of nobles.
As for the wealth acquired by the kingdom from foreign trade and foreign wars, the king is not qualified to possess it alone. It must be distributed fairly based on merit and status, and the part that the king can occupy is very limited.
Especially the ten war horses are the most exciting. As the most precious war resource, in various Greek city-states, war horses are common to the kingdom, and few people can have their own war horses.
"Myaris, the son of Rhodes, is a young demigod from Troy. During the legendary mission to find Pandora's Box, he killed two giant snakes. His courage was commendable and he was rewarded with three bags of gold and ten war horses."
""
Ares read out the names of more than twenty demigods in succession. They were all young demigods. In this mission, they did not perform well. The rewards they received were only three bags of gold and ten bags of gold. A war horse.
"Tamelaris, the son of Kyrasses, is a young demigod famous in Mycenae. During his legendary mission to find Pandora's Box, he killed four giant snakes and fought against sea monsters with several legendary heroes. Those who excel in military force will be rewarded with a golden chariot, two heavenly war horses, and six bags of gold.¡±
When they heard the reward from Tameralis, the young demigods who had already received the reward couldn't help but swallowed their saliva and looked at Tameralis with eyes full of envy.
Whether it is a golden chariot or a war horse from heaven, to the demigods in the mortal world, it represents transcendent identity and status. In the entire mortal world, there are hundreds of demigods, but only a few can obtain golden chariots and celestial horses, and each one has a transcendent status.
"Eryxeus, the young king of the wealthy city-state of Athens, during his legendary mission to find Pandora's Box, killed four giant snakes, fought sea monsters with several other legendary heroes, and was rewarded with a golden chariot. Two celestial war horses and six bags of gold.¡±
Erechtheus, the young king of Athens, took a small step forward, bowed and saluted to express his inner gratitude, and then retreated into the demigods.
"Innomoneus" Then Ares called Innomoneus's name again, and the reward was the same as Erechtheus.
"Sarpedon, the legendary leader of the Lycians and a demigod of noble birth, showed extraordinary strength and courage during the legendary mission to find Pandora's Box. He was rewarded with a set of legendary armor, two bottles of elixir, and gold. Ten bags.¡±
After hearing Sarpedon¡¯s reward, the hall fell silent, and Achilles smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, in this mission, Sarpedon did not perform too outstandingly.
But who asked me to be the god Zeus? For him, this mission is actually about gilding. Even if his performance is mediocre, he can get rewards far beyond ordinary people.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the blue, no one is smart.
"Hector, the most powerful demigod in Troy and the leader of the second generation of demigods, killed ten giant snakes in the legendary mission to find Pandora's Box, and rescued Achilles with his companions. The Dragon Fighter Giscula and the Death Strait Sea Monster will be rewarded with a legendary shield, two bottles of elixir, and ten bags of gold.¡±
In comparison, none of the demigods present had much objection to the reward Hector received. After all, his performance was remarkable.
"Achilles, the Ameraean lion is back"?Strong legendary demigod, the powerful force you displayed and the spirit of fighting to the death for your companions impressed the gods of Mount Olympus, and I brought gifts from the gods. "
Everyone looked at Achilles. Ares slowly walked down from the throne. At some point, a simple golden box appeared in his hand.
Achilles took the golden box from Ares with both hands, bent down to salute, and opened the box under Ares's kind eyes. A wisp of divine breath rushed towards him, and he felt this familiar breath. , his eyes shone brightly, and he closed the box casually.
"Thank you to the gods for their gifts"
