Chapter 542 The wrong letter
Even Hercules is said to be the son of Zeus and Arcmene, and with the help of Athena, he drank Hera's milk, but he also received education from many heroes and sages.
King Affitriun of Thebes personally taught driving the chariot, King Euritus of Okalia taught bows and arrows, Harperlekus taught gladiatorship and boxing, and Kemorkus taught playing the piano and singing.
Castor, one of Zeus' twins, taught to fight in the wild with full arms, and Renos, the son of Apollo, taught to read and read.
This made Hercules successful.
All the sons of Zeus must be educated, and how did Prince Paris come about?
"I don't know, he once learned knowledge and etiquette from the city scholars for a period of time, but the time was short. By the way, his wife Onogne is the daughter of the river god Krumbu, and may be able to teach him some knowledge."
"But such a short time is not enough to allow him to master so much knowledge and etiquette, right?" Odysseus asked: "As for Onogne, although he is the daughter of the river god Krumbu,..."
The following words are not mentioned. After all, mortals cannot comment on a god casually, even if it is a weak god, but everyone knows the meaning - this is not something that the river god Krumbu can teach, let alone Onogne.
"Maybe it's God's gift!" Antenor sighed.
"Is it God's gift again?" In this world, gods are real and always interfere with the fate of mortals. The three of them dare not look down on them and fall into deep thought.
It seems that God attaches great importance to Prince Paris?
It was just that Odysseus was the specific executor of the intentions of the gods. He first proposed at the wedding of Menelaus and Helen that all Greek princes vowed to protect this marriage - thus establishing the great cause of the United Expedition to Troy. Otherwise, Sparta might have laughed out loud if he suffered this shame.
Why did our city-state expedition to Troy for Sparta?
Although Troy has a lot of wealth, it is not easy to mess with!
It is because of this oath to God that the princes of all Greece had to unite.
Odysseus was a specific executor and was always protected by the athena. Naturally, he knew that this was the will of the gods. However, Prince Paris now saw that some gods had different opinions and were also standing in the aspect of Troy and gave great assistance.
There is no doubt that this brought great difficulties to the Greeks' expedition to Troy, putting many heroes and princes into dangerous situations.
"Is this the real intention of the gods? Let each other's heroes kill each other?" Odysseus shuddered and quickly removed some thoughts in his mind.
The gods are very keen and cannot tolerate any slight offense, even if they are deeply favored by Athena.
Just as Elder Antenol talked about Prince Paris's past and the three messengers were each in deep thought, a commotion came from the door of the restaurant.
A moment later, a servant came in and bowed, and said to Elder Antenol, "Master, Gnies, the housekeeper of Prince Paris, has come, and he still carries gold, saying that it is a gift to the three messengers."
Menelaus was immediately furious when he heard this, and kicked over the banquet table and was about to draw his sword.
In Menelaus's view, Paris was a naked humiliation, taking gold from him and bribing him?
Paramedes happened to sit next to Menelaus. Although he had collected Menelaus' gold, he quickly put down his wine glass to stop Menelaus' impulse when he saw Menelaus' actions.
"King of Sparta, please rest your anger and hear what the people sent by Paris said. It's not too late to get angry again."
"Hmph." Menelaus snorted coldly, showing that he was extremely dissatisfied with Paris, but after Paramedes persuaded him, he still patiently listened to what the people sent by Paris said.
Gesne ordered people to carry gold to Antenor's mansion, and his heart was in pain.
Prince Paris had just given two-thirds of the property he stolen to the Trojans, and now he took out so much gold and bronze from the remaining one-third of the property. There was not much left in Prince Paris, but the prince ordered that he must send it out. Although he was heartbroken, he still did as he did.
After the servant informed him that he had permission, Gesne ordered the slave to bring gold and gifts into the banquet hall of Elder Antenol. As soon as he stepped into the banquet hall, he heard Menelaus say angrily: "Paris wants to bribe me with this little gold. How much gold has he robbed me?"
Menelaus felt heartbroken and angry when he thought about the property that Pei Ziyun snatched in his palace. However, he had saved for many years before he finally saved it, but he was snatched away by Paris.
When Gusne saw a man angry and said, he knew that it was Monelaus, the king of Sparta, and Prince Paris robbed the property in his palace, so it was normal for him to be angry.
Gesne was not in a hurry to answer Menelaus' words, and ordered the slaves to carry gold and gifts into the banquet hall, thinking in his heart about Prince Paris - the king, prince, and elder, all gave gifts, and even Elder Antenor gave a lot of them, the benefits were still very obvious. Otherwise, no matter how firm the king Priamos was, he would not be able to suppress the opposition.
Just as he was thinking, the slave put the gold and gifts he brought in firmly on the ground and retreated.
Gersne stepped forward and bowed slightly to Antenor and the three messengers, and said, "The great King Menelaus, King Odysseus, Prince Paramedes, and Prince Paris did not mean to underestimate you."
"Originally, Prince Paris went to Greece to pick up his aunt, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen?"
"Prince Paris ordered me to tell you that robbing Helen was not his intention."
After Gusne finished speaking, Odysseus and Paramedes heard it and frowned, showing that they did not agree with what Gusne said.
"Is it the god that caused Paris to rob my wife Helen?" Menelaus sneered. If it weren't for Troy, he would have drawn his sword and chopped people long ago.
When Menelaus came to Troy, the anger in his heart was already ignited, and new and old hatreds surged into his heart, wishing to kill the prince immediately.
Now, even the housekeeper, servant, and Menelaus, who are in charge of murderous intentions...
Gesne knew the reason for Menelaus' anger in his heart. Whoever his wife was robbed would be furious. When he heard Menelaus' words, he replied: "I don't know this, but Prince Paris was indeed full of guilt. Prince Paris prayed for peace and proposed a duel to resolve the conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans and avoid large-scale bleeding. These gold and gifts are just to express his feelings to you."
Menelaus said gloomyly: "You move the gold and the gifts back, we don't need Paris's falsehood. If he really feels guilty, let him hand over my wife Helen and all the gold he robbed."
"King of Menelaus, Prince Paris was not intended to rob Helen, but it is impossible to hand over Helen easily. The prince said, if you want to go back to Helen, you will talk about it after the result of all duels."
"Hmph, no sincerity." Menelaus snorted coldly, feeling unhappy.
"I have conveyed Prince Paris's wishes, please allow me to sue." As he said that, Gesne left the mansion of Antenor.
The three of them looked at each other in a glance, and Paramedes persuaded in time: "Although we cannot forgive Prince Paris like this, since he has sent gold and gifts, why don't we accept it? Just treat it as interest."
After hearing this, all three of them agreed.
In fact, it was impossible for Paramedes and Odysseus to be unmoved when facing the gold and bronze sent by Pei Ziyun. Menelaus also felt that it was good to collect some interest, and in the end he also received gold and gifts.
The three of them divided the gold and bronze, and at the same time thanked Elder Antenor for the hospitality, they returned to the room arranged by Elder Antenor to rest.
Paramedes accepted Prince Paris's gold as the least psychological burden, and he was very happy.
Menelaus felt very uncomfortable and even more angry.
Odysseus went back with the box and opened it. It was a robe, a carpet, a bronze, a gold, and a gin wine glass.
Odysseus thought to himself: "How much did Paris robbed in Sparta with such a generous gift? Menelaus suffered a huge loss."
Odysseus was about to close the lid of the box, and suddenly saw a piece of folded parchment under the gold.
"Huh, is this a letter to me?" Odysseus thought, picked up the parchment and glanced at him: "This is not a letter to me, but to Paramedes. Could it be that the servant made the wrong place?"
Looking carefully at the contents on the parchment, Odysseus's face gradually became gloomy: "Does Prince Paris admire Paramedes like this?"
It turned out that in the letter, Paris praised Paramedes' contribution to Greece, and praised him for inventing the lighthouse, libra, measure, and calendar.
"Your inventions will not know how many people will benefit you and will be kind to your descendants. Perhaps the deeds of kings and heroes will be covered up, but your achievements will last forever. You are the wisest Greek man."
These words had already made Odysseus's face dark, but he saw the last word in the letter, hoping that Paramedes could go around for peace between the Greeks and the Trojans.
Odysseuspen held a grudge on the spot because of Paramedes' last time he went to invite the alliance, and kept looking for opportunities to take revenge.
Now Odysseus looked at these words, especially the title of the Greek No. wise man, with his face from red to purple, and then from purple to black. There was only one thought in his mind. He held back his anger, carefully closed the lid, tied the box tightly with a knot, and bathed it with warm water, but the seeds of hatred in his heart had already taken root and sprouted in his heart and grew vigorously.
"Palamedes, there is no need for two wise men in an era."
