Chapter 1632 Frogampfog (Twenty)
No. 1g&fog (Twenty)
The old king received us.
The courtyard full of grapes echoed with the trembling sound of the harp.
The corridor outside the courtyard was crowded with spectators, nobles, knights, courtiers, rich people and servants.
They did not come to see the guests from afar or listen to the harp performance, but came to see Roland.
Tsk, tsk, great man.
The sound of the harp could not cover the whispers of noble lords and ladies, knights and maids.
Roland sat by my hand as if he could not hear it.
The lunch was very rich, with more than ten kinds of vegetables, as well as fried, stewed and dipped meats and snacks.
But according to the inverted rules of the carnival, these delicacies were actually not worth much.
The rose-colored wine used to accompany the meal was poured into a transparent crystal glass.
The villains still remembered some table manners, but even if they didn't, it was not their turn to eat at the table at this moment.
Roland ate silently without looking at the old king.
The old king said: It is better for you to leave as soon as possible after dinner, do you understand?
I said: I admit that I don’t understand.
The old king said: I admit that I am old, but I know very well who you are, "the prince of the neighboring country".
I said: Who do you think I am?
The old king said: You understand what I mean, you must leave here.
I said: Do you think I am not a king?
The old king said: I traveled around the world when I was young.
I said: The world you see may not be wide enough, and I have also been to many places.
The old king said: You are just a traveler.
I said: Call your daughter out, let me broaden my horizons and see if she is the most beautiful.
The old king stared at me for a while, and just when I thought he would refuse my rude request, he whispered to the waiter who poured wine, and the waiter left.
She will eventually marry a king.
The old king repeated again.
I smiled politely and enjoyed the table full of food provided by the sheep king.
No matter how the princess looked, she was a mortal creature after all, a gift of politics.
After a moment, I asked casually: Why don't you train an heir?
The old king said: There was one, but he left us and learned magic from a wizard.
I admit that I was surprised, and then asked: Is he your son?
The old king said: I have no son.
I asked: Who is he?
The old king said: Do you know him, Roland?
Roland nodded: He is the prince.
I don't know what happened, but I found that the old king's face was full of disappointment.
I took this opportunity to say: I don't have the talent for magic, but I have a pretty smart mind.
The old king asked: What do you want to do?
I said: Those suitors outside are annoying, why don't you let me help you drive them away?
The old king raised his hand and asked the musician playing the harp to stop playing.
I understand that people like him are unwilling to drive away those mobs because of their reputation.
The carnival is coming again, and I believe that the order will be very chaotic at that time, and the Sheep King will not be able to spare anyone to maintain order.
The old king asked: What do you want to do?
I said: You have to pay me.
The old king sneered: Aren't you here to propose?
I said: If you accept my proposal, your kingdom and treasury will be mine, but you still have to pay me.
The old king sneered: You greedy liar.
I also sneered: Great king, do you intend to let me serve you for free?
The old king did not answer me immediately, he stared at me, as if judging me.
I know very well that if I want to form an army, I need military funds, and that is not enough for the gold coins in my pocket.
My former neighbor, the alchemist he kept in captivity could not turn gold into gold, so he had to use paper money as military funds.
What he never expected was that there would really be people who would work for a stack of paper.
I tried every means to destroy this kind of paper money and forced him to return to using coins, which of course would force him to reduce the number of soldiers.
This is my purpose, not for profit or speculation, but for policy.
As long as my neighbor can pay for military expenses with paper money, there will never be peace in that world.
The gold coins in my pocket are not from this world either, but the villains, though drunk, still know the quality of the gold coins.
I will make some people quit the game willingly.
I finally said to the sharp-eyed old king.
What are you going to do?
The old king asked again.
Just as he finished speaking, I heard the rustling of footsteps.
I thought I would see a girl dressed up in a silk dress,
The moon was wearing men's clothes made of fine fabrics, and her sword, although beautifully shaped, was still a practical rapier,
She was like the real moon, surrounded by several maids dressed as women,
Each of them was beautiful, but she stood out so much, even though she was the smallest.
From her eyes, I saw resistance and resentment, which I often saw in the past,
But she had no reason to hate me, I am now unknown in this world,
I think it should be fate that makes her angry, she is trying to save herself.
The villains were attracted by the gorgeous maids and were overwhelmed by their beauty.
But I wanted to hold her in my arms and make her even smaller.
The resistance was gone, and she began to melt in the wonderful peace.
You should grow your hair long.
This was the first thing I said to her.
She ignored me and looked at her old father:
What were you talking about just now?
The old king looked at me and said: We were talking about how to drive away the people gathered under your window.
She looked at me: What are you going to do?
I was a little absent-minded.
I knew there was a pearl hidden in the shell.
I only needed to touch this life and it would unfold completely and let me control it.
I wanted to see the vivid picture and hear what she said in that sad voice.
Until someone coughed twice, I woke up from my dream and told my plan.
Achilles died after being shot in the ankle by Paris, and his armor became the target of everyone's robbing.
At this time, the Greeks were fighting with the Trojans, and they should not fight for armor at this time, especially after the death of the invincible Achilles.
The Greeks held the Olympic Games not only for competition, but also to commemorate Hera, the goddess who was jealous and did not win the golden apple.
Athena joined the Trojan War because of jealousy. She used her noble wisdom to come up with the Trojan Horse plan, dreamed to Epeus, and conjured up poisonous snakes to strangle Laocoön and his sons who tried to warn the Trojans.
If the Trojans had not pulled the Trojan Horse into the city, Troy would have continued to hold on. Instead, the Greeks who burned their own camp had no way to go and could only leave by boat.
Helen was just an inducement. As long as the Greeks were eyeing the wealth of Troy, they would find other excuses.
Paris, who was born a prince, had no shortage of power. If he lacked wisdom, the goddesses would not have asked him to judge who would get the golden apple.
He needed love the most at that time. Even if he was a prince, as long as he felt safe and the need for security was far away, he would make the same unwise deal.
He exchanged the golden apple for Helen, a woman who should not have appeared in his life.
Prince Paris was already married at that time. He married Oenone, who was said to be the daughter of a river god and a fairy.
Later, the king commissioned him to do something. When he set out on the journey, he did not know that he would win the trophy given to him by the god of love.
He thought that the god of love promised him a virgin, not someone else's wife.
But at the ceremony of worshiping the god of love, he saw Helen and was fascinated by her.
Helen, who was married to the king of Sparta, was alone in the palace, depressed, and she was soon attracted by the prince from a foreign country.
When Paris came to Troy with the beautiful trophy, the king did not like this ominous daughter-in-law. He immediately convened a meeting of nobles, but the participants were tempted by the huge wealth and the beautiful maids brought by Helen. Therefore, the meeting was no longer about driving Helen away, but how to settle these foreigners in the palace.
The old king asked: Do you think it is feasible?
I looked at the old king: Why should the loser compete with the winner?
The old king said again: My daughter will not marry a "king" who can only throw javelins and discus.
I said: I can negotiate with them, first of all, I have to find out what they need, but you have to pay me first.
The old king said: After getting the money, I want you and your people to leave my kingdom.
I said: I thought you were a hospitable person.
The old king said: You are not welcome.
Then he said to the moon: Go back to your room.
The moon obeyed her father's order and left the courtyard.
I still smelled the fragrance of her skin in my nose.
It seems that there is an armature that connects our magnetic fields.
I pity the prince. He is such a fool that he gave up everything to learn magic.
After she left, I was thinking about how to complete this task while tasting wine.
This land will tremble again because of the iron hoof. I want to see if the old king will ask me "Who do you think you are" when he sees the thousands of troops I brought.
