Chapter 662 The end of the Greek world

Pei Ziyun appeared in the air, stood invisible in the air, and shouted: "System!"

A plum blossom appears in front of me quickly and quickly enlarges, changing into a data box with a faint sense of light.

"Mission: The Kingdom of Britain in Dreams,/5"

Pei Ziyun pressed heavily, and with a sound, the task of establishing a kingdom was completed and he obtained a destiny point.

"Very good, the result exceeds the system limit."

Then I looked at the system and found that there was still one last task left.

"Task: Save Orestes and get the first temple in Greece (unfinished)."

"Saving the Orester body has been completed, or it has not been completely completed, and in Greece I have not obtained the first temple." Pei Ziyun thought to himself.

Pei Ziyun helped Orestes escape from the palace at that time, but in fact, he only completed half of the rescue of Orestes.

"But now it's almost done." Pei Ziyun glanced at Orestes and murmured to himself.

Orestes was already an adult, and with the help of Apoll, he killed his mother Clytenestra and his cousin Egestus who usurped the throne.

However, due to the murder of his relatives, Orestes was persecuted by the goddess of vengeance and fled to the city of Athens and asked for asylum from the temple of the athena. Athena said that a court would be opened outside the city of Athens to judge the case.

"Apollo's throne is above the three goddesses of revenge."

"But the gap is not too big, and only Athena can suppress it, so it is natural to go to Athens."

"This is my last plot." Pei Ziyun said inwardly.

Athens

On a hillside in front of the city, there is a lush plant on the hillside, with a clearing in the middle, Athena standing in the center, the plaintiff is the goddess of vengeance entrusted by Clytenestra, and the defendant is Orestes.

The jury also came, all of whom were respected citizens in Athens.

At this time, two foreigners came slowly from a distance. After a while, they stood in front of the defendant. In fact, these two were Apollo and Pei Ziyun.

When the goddesses of vengeance saw Apollo, they shouted: "Apollo, you should deal with your own affairs, and you, a new god, why are you here too?"

Apollo replied: "I advised him to kill his mother and said to him that this is the piety that God welcomes, and I should protect him."

"I am Paris, your father was my enemy, but before he died, he prayed to me to build a temple for me, so that I could protect Orestes. I also woke Orestes' sister and protected him out of the palace. Now, I continue to fulfill the king's promise."

"So, I will defend you too." Pei Ziyun said to Orestes.

Seeing everyone coming, Athena stood up and said, "Goddess of Vengeance, please provide the lawsuit."

"We can ask straightforwardly." The oldest of the goddess of vengeance spoke.

"Defendant, please answer my question: Have you killed your mother?"

"I don't deny it," said Orestes, and he was so scared that his face looked like a mortal when he heard the goddess of vengeance ask.

"How did you kill her?"

"I cut her neck with a sharp sword." Orestes said tremblingly.

"Who instructed you to do this?"

"Apollo prompted me with an oracle, asking me to do so, and he is here to testify for me." Orestes replied.

At the same time, Orestes said: "I defend myself. I killed Clytenestra not because I regarded her as my mother, but because of the murderer who killed her father."

"Clytenestra joined forces with Egestus to bind my father Agamemnon with a net, and then she stabbed my father to death with a knife. His blood was flowing all over the ground, and I can still recall his howl."

"I think Clytenestra's murder of his own husband Agamemnon is a heinous crime and must be punished," Apollo defended.

"But Orestes kills his mother too unforgivable and should be severely punished."

When they finished their debate, Athena stood up and said, "Citizens of Athens, please listen quietly. Today, you have begun the first court trial."

"In the future, you will always keep this court, which is set up on this holy mountain Ares, and you should all maintain its dignity and regard it as the pillar of the whole city."

"Now, the jury please stand up. The white stone represents innocence, and the black stone represents guilt. Please remember your oath and vote for the referee in this case!"

The jury stood up silently from the seat and lined up to throw the vote into the bowl with stones.

When all the people voted, a new group of elected citizens stood up and counted the black and white stones put into the bowl. It turned out that the two stones were equal in number. At this time, one vote was decided in Athena's hands.

Athena stood up from her seat and asked Pei Ziyun who had not spoken, saying, "Paris, what do you have to say."

"Athena, you are the judge, and you should decide the last vote, but if you ask for my opinion, I will say so."

"All laws are for the protection of the interests of most people and order."

In front of God and man, Pei Ziyun said: "This case cannot be simply considered in black and white. Is it right if a wife kills her husband for any reason?"

"It's obvious that it's wrong. It destroys the ethics and order of the family. If we don't punish it, which husband can work and fight with peace of mind for his wife and children?"

"They sweat and blood are meaningless."

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

"But even if the mother is wrong, can the son kill her? It's not right. He shouldn't do it himself, but should have laws or king trials to punish him."

Most people also nodded, only Orestes's face was terribly smug.

"Of course, we all know that this case is special. Because the usurpers seized the royal power, who can support Orestes except God?"

As he said that, Pei Ziyun looked at Apollo's jawhead, affirmed the legitimacy of Apollo's support, and said, "Who can take revenge except Orestes himself?"

"So if I ask my opinion, I will say that Orestes killed the cousin Egestus who usurped the throne without guilt, and killed his mother, Clytenestria, with necessity, but must be atonement for it."

After Pei Ziyun finished speaking, the audience was meditating.

This time, Athena did not say "I am not the one born to my mother, I jumped out of my father Zeus, so I defend the rights of men." This statement is actually unjustified, but is based on a certain position.

She now says: "I agree with Paris's words, that Orestes kills Clytenestria, but it must be atonement for it."

As she said that, she left the judge table, brought a white stone and threw it into the bowl, returned to her seat, and solemnly announced: "After voting, the majority decided that Orestes had been exempted from punishment and had gained freedom, but he had to atone for his sins."

When Orestes heard this, he said very emotionally, "Goddess Athena, you saved me and my family, and I will praise your kindness to all the Greeks."

"And you, the great God of Disappearance, you don't mind the grudges between my father and you. I have helped me twice. I am about to return home and swear to the country and people here. I will fulfill my father's oath and build a temple for you."

After Orestes finished speaking, he got into a carriage and left Athens.

The goddess of vengeance was dissatisfied with Athena's judgment: "You young gods have trampled on the ancient law. But, Athenians, you will regret today's judgment. We will keep the city and the countryside from growing, and let the plague spread."

Even God could not ignore the curse of the goddess of vengeance. Apollo hurriedly said, "You should not express your anger at the judgment. This is not your failure or humiliation."

"The number of black and white stones in the bowl is equal. The jury did not offend you. It is God who bears the responsibility for the judgment. You should not vent your anger to the innocent people."

"I assure you in the name of the people that you will gain a prominent position here and enjoy sacred honor, and that the people of this city will sacrifice you every year and worship you as just and ruthless goddesses of vengeance!"

Athena also reiterated this promise and said, "Dear goddesses, believe me, the citizens of this city are willing to worship you, men, women, young and old will praise you, and they will build your temple next to the temple of King Ericthus! Whoever disrespects you will not receive any blessing!"

After hearing this promise, the goddess of vengeance gradually calmed down and said, "If the mortals of Athens are willing to respect me and to uphold justice, then I am willing to forgive you."

"Great Goddess of Nemesis, thank you very much for your generosity and forgive our offense." Athenian citizens sang hymns and sent the Goddess of Nemesis out of the city.

Athena solved this matter and looked back and said to Pei Ziyun: "Paris, on Mount Olympus, the craftsmen of God have built a palace for you, you can go and have a look."

Pei Ziyun nodded and stepped onto Mount Olympus. Sure enough, a corridor extends to a palace just a little above the foot of the mountain. Although the palace is not big, it is very exquisite, better than the decoration of his temple in England.

Although the gods of Mount Olympus did not come, they sent fairies to send gifts to celebrate Pei Ziyun's move to the new palace.

Pei Ziyun asked the system: "Time is coming soon, what is the next world?"

Pei Ziyun asked, but the system did not respond.

I don’t know how much time has passed, Pei Ziyun suddenly opened his eyes, and a large piece of sacrificial beef appeared, and the beef is the best piece of beef.

"It's a sacrifice!" Pei Ziyun smiled. He used to sacrifice to the gods himself, but now there are finally someone offering sacrifices to him, and it's a sacrifice in Greece.

The figure disappeared instantly and then appeared in a temple in Mekenny.

The temple is located on a small hill. This temple is relatively small, but it is also a complete temple, supported by twelve cylindrical columns. The entire temple is built by white marble. The altar stands. Not far away is the burning sacred fire. Outside the temple is a small square. A mountain road leads from the square to the bottom. On the road, Orestes, the new King of Mekenny, is leading people away.

Pei Ziyun wandered in the temple, looking at the first Greek temple, and sighed for a long time: "It's finally finished."
Chapter completed!
