Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The centaur king Roron and his student Patroclus lived in the palace of the old king Peleus.

    Achilles left the palace and returned to his residence with the bronze box handed to him by Roron.

    As soon as he returned to his residence, he couldn't wait to enter the cave. In this isolated space, he carefully opened the box in his hand.

    Inside the box, the top is a scroll made of the skin of an unknown monster. Achilles took out the scroll and opened it carefully, and a piece of vigorous and powerful fonts appeared in front of him.

    After a long time, when he read the contents recorded on the scroll, he slowly rolled up the scroll again and let out a long breath.

    This is what Hercules wrote specifically to him. It records a secret of the world that Hercules discovered before he became a god.

    When Hercules was stealing the golden apples, he went to the distant Alps, where he rescued Prometheus, who was bound by Zeus to the top of the mountain and suffered from being pecked by an eagle.

    The main gods of the ancient Titanic system, before they were sealed into the abyss by the gods of Mount Olympus headed by Zeus, left a sacred treasure on this mountain that tops the sky, and in the sacred treasure,  The Titans left a hope for mortals to become gods.

    Back then, Prometheus told Hercules about this divine treasure, hoping that he could enter this divine treasure and gain the hope of becoming a god.

    Hercules found the entrance to this sacred place, but was unable to break in, and finally left unwillingly.  When he became a god, he returned to the Alps again, but found that he had no chance to enter the divine treasure.

    Later, when he searched for Prometheus, he learned that when the Titan gods were sealed into the abyss, they had left a powerful seal here, and only mortals were qualified to enter the divine treasure.

    When the scroll was rolled up, it glowed with a slight golden luster. In the golden light, cracks appeared on the surface of the scroll, and then the entire scroll collapsed and turned into a patch of golden light, which completely dissipated in the air.  among.

    Looking at the dissipated golden light spots, Achilles couldn't see any joy, anger, sorrow or joy on his face. He didn't know why Heracles told him this heaven-defying secret, let alone what this meant to him.  In terms of whether it is good or bad.

    As the saying goes, you must be on guard against others, and you must not have the intention of harming others. He and Hercules were strangers, so why would Hercules tell himself such an important secret?

    It's just that for this most legendary hero of Greek tragedy, in his previous life, Achilles liked stories about him very much, because he was a real pure man. Even if he had doubts in his heart, he still believed it subconsciously.  That divine treasure does exist.

    There was another scroll in the box. Achilles took it out and opened it and found that it was a map, belonging to the Alps.

    The whole map is relatively simple. It just depicts the directions of some mountains. In the center is the tallest mountain peak. On the top of the mountain, there is a line of small characters marked, which is the location of the divine treasure.

    After briefly browsing it, he rolled up the map again and put it into the box. After closing the box, he placed it on the platform where the Tree of Earth was.

    On the platform, the clone sat there quietly with his eyes closed. After feeling the arrival of the main body, he opened his eyes. After looking at each other, he closed his eyes again.

    He left the cave and returned to the big world. Because he closed the door, the room was deserted, and Inas' crisp laughter could be vaguely heard outside.

    In two days, the old king will abdicate and Achilles will inherit the throne. In the Temple of the God of Heaven, the attendants of the temple are busy.

    Because on that day, the throne succession ceremony will be held here, and everyone in Larissa will come here to worship the god Zeus and pray for Thessaly.

    Achilles took advantage of this rare free time to take Sophia and Inas out of their residence and go to the market in Larissa to relax.

    Although the city of Larissa does not have the strong and towering walls of Troy, nor the nostalgic prosperity of Mycenae, it does have the largest population.

    Nearly 200,000 Thessalians gathered here. Low-rise houses were built one after another, densely occupying this vast land.

    Because of its large population, the market in Larissa is also very lively. You can see vendors shouting on the street and pedestrians walking shoulder to shoulder everywhere in the market.

    After coming to this world, Achilles spent most of his time in his mother¡¯s temple.??I have only visited this kind of ancient market a few times, and it felt fresh.

    It¡¯s just that although this market is very large and there are many vendors, most of them are ordinary people in Larissa, and the products they sell are all insignificant daily necessities.

    After all, Thessaly is not a commercially developed city, and there are no large ships for maritime trade. It is difficult to see things from distant places here.

    Along the way, what Achilles saw the most was brewed wine, rough tools ground by hand, fish caught in the water, game such as pheasants caught in the mountains and forests, and occasionally  , you can see some cattle, sheep, livestock, or olive fruits, but the number is pitiful.

    Because there is no reasonable management system, the entire market is in a mess. You can see messy and discarded garbage everywhere on the streets. It is dirty and smelly. Even Achilles frowned a little.

    After just strolling around for a short time, Sophia and Inas were already bored. Achilles frowned and took them back to their residence.

    After returning to their residence, Achilles and Sophia sat down together. Sophia frowned and said, "The commercial trade in Thessaly is even worse than you expected."

    After seeing the situation in the market, Achilles' mood also became bad. The commercial trade in Larissa City can almost be called miserable.

    The market looks lively, with a lot of vendors selling things and even more people buying things, but there is not a single large-scale shop in sight, and the products are ridiculously simple.

    Only today did he understand what kind of kingdom he was about to face. He could not feel any sense of civilization and seemed to be still in the most primitive tribal period.

    As the saying goes, you can see the leopard through the pipe. Just from the stone farm tools waiting for sale in the market, you can see Thessaly's backwardness in farming.

    The entire Greek world has entered the Bronze Age for many years. Whether it is ancient Crete, the most powerful Mycenae, or the emerging commercial and military power Troy, they have already begun to try to use bronze to make agricultural tools.

    Although due to the constraints of time and knowledge, no decent agricultural tools have yet appeared, they are much more advanced than those in Thessaly.

    Although Greece is a country near the sea, due to environmental problems, it often encounters droughts. During drought periods, even the larger rivers will dry up.

    Coupled with the problem of soil quality, even if you sow seeds on the land here, the harvest you can get is very meager.  In the entire Greek country, there are only a few places where the land can be planted twice a year. In most other places, it can only be planted once a year.

    It is precisely for this reason that the Greeks are keen to wage wars abroad, establish colonies and overseas trade, and obtain food and wealth from those places.

    Because Thessaly is adjacent to the Pinio River, unless it encounters a particularly large drought, the land can still be irrigated in many years.

    Therefore, the land near the Pinho River can be harvested every year, but due to the soil quality, it can only be harvested once a year.

    Thessaly has never developed ocean-going navigation technology. The kingdom does not have large-scale sea ships and cannot conduct overseas colonization and overseas trade. All wealth and food can only be obtained from its own land.

    And because of the extreme backwardness of agricultural tools, the efficiency of cultivating land, sowing seeds, and harvesting crops is extremely low. The amount of food that can be obtained every year can only be imagined.

    Sitting on the soft fur, Achilles felt a sense of frustration in his heart. He smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that the commercial trade in Thessaly would be like this. I don't know it until I see it. It's scary at first glance."  It¡¯s a jump. Today¡¯s city of Larissa, not to mention the most prosperous cities like Mycenae and Troy, even compared with the ordinary city-states around it, is still far behind.¡±

    Sophia frowned without thinking, and said after a moment: "If you want to change the situation in Thessaly, you can't just work hard in the kingdom. Although the land here is more fertile than other places, the harvest you can get is very little.  .¡±

    Achilles nodded with deep understanding, looked up at the ceiling, his deep eyes flashed with burning luster, and said in deep thought: "If you want to change the situation in Thessaly in the shortest time,  There is only one way to gain wealth and food by waging war with foreign countries, colonizing, and plundering.¡±

    Originally, his plan was to carry out large-scale reforms in Thessaly until he had all the rights of the kingdom in his own hands and letAfter the slave system blossomed, war was carried out with foreign countries.

    But judging from the current situation in Thessaly, even if you take control of the kingdom, it will be difficult to completely change this poor and weak kingdom in a short period of time.

    Social reform requires not only strong force, but also huge amounts of wealth and food that can sustain the reform to the end.

    Today¡¯s Thessaly has a population of nearly 300,000. The land around the Pinio River alone can barely feed these people, and it is difficult to have a surplus.

    Even though Achilles promoted new agricultural tools on a large scale, without the protection of agricultural women and without access to advanced farming technology, the increase in agricultural income was very limited.

    With only gold and force but not enough food, this so-called reform will be water without a source and a tree without roots. I am afraid that if a strong wind blows by, it will be strangled in the cradle.

    If you want to get enough food, you have to find a way outside Thessaly. The only way is to plunder from other kingdoms and other races through war, and use other people's food to promote the reform of your country.
