"You are just an unknown person, what qualifications do you have to command Ethiopian soldiers, and what qualifications do you have to come to trial me?"
"He is the king of Argos. He is the fiancée my father arranged for me. As my father's daughter, he is naturally qualified to inherit the throne after we marry me. He is qualified to judge you."
Androda stood up and announced her relationship with Perseus in public, but this was not enough, Lises had already prepared.
"You? Princess Androda, do you think you are qualified to command these soldiers?"
Lises smiled disdainfully, and at the same time the soldiers on the side did not intend to move.
"You said how many saintesses we dedicate to the sea god, how many have been changed every session? It was no problem to change the soup or medicine before, but why did you have a problem here?
The priests of the Sea God Temple also have something to say, what kind of saintess they selected before, what kind of saintess are you now?
If I go on like this, I will still anger Hades, and then I will anger Zeus after I anger Hades. In the end, there will be no gods to anger me.
You, and your fiancé who doesn't know where you come from, I advise you to be more pragmatic and understand the theory of governing a city-state first.
How do you explain such a big incident now? Just like this, you still have to be king to manage Ethiopia?
I don't want any face."
Lises just thought of a set of words in a short period of time, which passed all the disasters on Androda and Ops, and the final purpose was to make them lose their legitimacy to the throne.
"you......"
Perseus is still too young, and he still intends to convince the other party through negotiations in such a situation.
Reality taught him a lesson relentlessly, and then someone showed him the correct answer.
"You say he's not qualified to judge you? That's an interesting statement."
Athena came to the palace surrounded by many priests.
"I am Athena, the daughter of Zeus, the goddess of victory and wisdom. Although Perseus's mother is human, his father is actually Zeus. He has the blood of Zeus in his body. Whether the blood of a god-king is enough to judge you?"
The blood of Zeus?
Athena's words shocked everyone, they didn't expect the god king to have the blood of a demigod.
No one present would doubt Athena's identity, after all, it is absolutely impossible for people surrounded by so many priests of Athena to pretend to be Athena.
Since Athena spoke, she basically endorsed Perseus' lineage.
No one present can deny her words, if Perseus really has the blood of Zeus in his body, then he must be able to rule them and judge them.
If the blood of Zeus can't, then who can?
"Perseus, you have to understand one thing. The so-called 'reasonable' can only be achieved after victory. No matter how great our advantage is before victory, it will disappear in an instant."
Athena, the goddess of victory, taught Perseus by precepts and deeds, and then the soldiers immediately controlled Lyses.
There is no problem in speaking in this world, but if you finish your words alive, how to make others listen to you, you need to consider the size of your fist.
Lises' words are useful for the fledgling Perseus, but for Athena?
Lyses was not yet born when Athena played this trick.
Chapter 240 Flesh is weak, machinery soars
When the dust settled, Perseus quickly stabilized the situation in Ethiopia with the help of Athena, and because of Poseidon's brutal behavior, people were afraid of the wrath of the sea god and did not dare to let Perseus hand over Ander. Roda, changing his faith to believe in Athena became the only choice.
Still, some people have doubts about converting to Athena.
"Ethiopia is a port city-state after all. It is a trivial matter for them to change their beliefs rashly now, but once they lose the advantage of the port and involve the food and clothing of a million-dollar palace... there will inevitably be a lot of pressure."
Perseus now had to start dealing with these things he didn't like for Androda's sake.
"Isn't that simple? Those surrounding city-states that invaded Ethiopia before, now you can just ask them for an explanation, right?"
Athena suggested from the side.
Although with the overall structure of the city-state alliance, Perseus should not be able to annex those city-states, but it is obviously not difficult for them to sign some treaties for land cession and compensation.
Perseus is indeed a huge victory to gain prestige, and Ethiopia will also gain other economic advantages except the port. The war is a good stage, and Ethiopia should indeed seek justice, but... ..
"Father... when will he come over?"
After Zeus went to deal with Gorgon, he disappeared. Although no god would think that something happened to this undefeated god king, Zeus hadn't shown up for a long time, which really made the gods feel uneasy.
This old guy must have started a new calculation in the horns above.
"I don't know, but my father must have made many arrangements for today, and it will definitely be useful for our day."
Athena said casually, after all, Zeus had asked Hephaestus to prepare the magic box before, it is impossible to have no means at all, but these words have a different taste in Perseus' ears.
Has father prepared for this day for a long time?
Poseidon's words echoed in Perseus's mind again, and now he has too many problems in his mind, although he understands that he must establish prestige as soon as possible, so that he, the descendant of Zeus, is worthy of the name.
But he still wanted to know how his father viewed himself and his mother.
"Both of you are here, so I don't need to look for them separately."
At this moment, the voice of Zeus came, and Zeus came to the hall accompanied by lightning. Perseus didn't know how to deal with the sudden appearance of his father, but Athena reacted immediately , Zeus should use them.
"Father, what do you need us to do?"
"I need you to pass on the legend of Gorgon to me. I want the whole of Greece to understand what a terrible monster Gorgon is."
Zeus said with a serious expression, maybe only everyone who is afraid of "Gorgon" curses "Gorgon", which can make Medusa feel a little better.
"Wait, Medusa didn't turn into a monster of her own will. We should save her now instead of letting the whole of Greece curse her."
Perseus realized what Zeus was going to do. It would be too much to say that this is the punishment of the God King for Medusa.
Even if so many people died because of Gorgon, it would be a big deal to let Gorgon die with his life, so why slander her name after death, everyone present knows that Medusa is a kind person.
"This is how I protect her. I need her to become very famous. Only in this way can Medusa be reborn from the shackles of decay."
Zeus could see the anxiety in Perseus' eyes, he was a good boy, and he was familiar with Medusa, although it was a little cruel, but it was a good thing to entrust this matter to him.
"Perseus, I need you to become famous in Greece as soon as possible. It is best to become a figure known throughout the world. After that, I want you to kill Gorgon."
Kill Medusa?
Although Perseus wanted to defeat Medusa more than once, he definitely didn't want to kill her, and didn't he want to save her?
"The only way to save her is to kill her. Some people live but he is dead, but some people die but can live forever."
"Heroic Spirit? Father, do you want to create a system similar to Heroic Spirit?"
Athena has wisdom and theocracy, so she understood Zeus' thoughts at the first time. Medusa's demon nature is really difficult to eradicate. If so, it is better to kill her directly, and then spread the story of the whole hero beheading monsters.
When enough humans know the whole legend, Medusa can be summoned as a heroic spirit.
"Why me? If you want a famous person, don't you, father? You are the god-king of Greece, and also... our god-king of Rome."
Even Athena could hear the dissatisfaction in Perseus's words, which made her worried. Confronting Zeus face to face like this is not the case in Olympus.
"Perseus..."
"What's the matter? Your hidden identity has been seen through, so you plan to use fame and fortune to silence me?"
Perseus finally broke out his emotions. He never thought that his father had another face. What happened in Rome and Greece that year, was it just because of the whim of this god-king that the war broke out.
I don't know how many people died, and I don't know how many people were displaced because of some calculation or whim of this god king.
"A lot of things are not what you think."
Zeus understood that these were just misunderstandings, and he was very patient with his children. If he killed people just because of such trivial things, then he would be no different from Cronus.
"Then why me?"
"Naturally for Dana."
"What does this have to do with mother?"
As soon as his mother was mentioned, Perseus also became inexplicably worried. His father's kind face in the past was torn off, and now Perseus didn't want his mother to have an accident.
"Even if you are a demigod, you have a limited lifespan, not to mention that your mother will always die over time."
"But aren't you the God King? Just let Hades..."
Perseus shut up halfway through his speech, already thinking of the reason for Zeus not to do so.
Didn't Ops break the rules he set for his daughter before, and finally became an excuse for others to riot. A qualified king must never break his promise.
This is the basis of being an example.
"Human lifespan has a limit. I can't break the rules I set for your mother, but the rules can't be changed but can be increased."
"What do you want to add?"
"Give the people of Greece another goal to strive for, give them something more attractive than power, and I will give meaning to the stars."
Star?
Perseus recalled the starry sky he had seen countless times. Although the starlight in the sky was beautiful, it was meaningless.
"Put the soul of a dying person into the consciousness space and put it in a mechanically made body. This will allow people to obtain a very durable body. As for the mental wear and tear, you can rely on those stars."
Zeus articulated his thoughts.
"Arrange and combine those meaningless stars in the sky, give it a name, give it a story, and then bind this story with your experience, and it becomes you."
The ignorant hero got the enlightenment from the gods and then embarked on the road of trials. On this road, he defeated witches, monsters, obtained wealth, beautiful women, and lived a perfect life. After death, the soul of the hero ascended to the sky and became Star.
Zeus narrated such a simple routine, not to mention the smart Athena, even the fledgling Perseus could feel the great temptation in it.
No one can reject the possibility of celebrities through the ages, and they are still strongly bound to the eternal stars. As long as the stars are still in their own stories, then they can exist forever.
If the person in front of him is not his father, if he is just a fledgling young man with pretentiousness, if he has no burden to bear, then how will he face such a huge temptation?
Will definitely be hooked.
That is a higher pursuit than the so-called money and beauties. Even if some people can't understand the excitement, once he can stand high enough, money and beauties are at his fingertips, then he will start to pursue celebrities through the ages.
"You became the hero who killed Gorgon, so your mother can survive, your wife can survive, you can survive, and Medusa can survive."
Zeus spoke out all his thoughts, and he was as honest as he could be.
"Then can you make Opps do the same?"
"Opps?"
Zeus had never heard of this name, and it was Athena who reminded him that he was his son's father-in-law, who became a stone statue under Gorgon's petrified eyes and is currently in a state of "every year is safe".
"Just as a special case, I'll let Hades find them."
"Thank you father."
Perseus said thank you, but Zeus felt an inexplicable gap, his child seemed to want to distance himself from him.
"I'm going to find Hades."
Zeus was planning to leave, and it was useless for him to stay here at this time. He knew that Perseus was dissatisfied with being deceived, but at least Zeus could not make the people who died in the battle between Rome and Greece a joke.
At the end of that battle back then, Zeus had indeed considered making everything public, that everything was the fault of himself, the god-king, and then he stepped down.
It's just that doing so is undoubtedly ruining everything for those who died in the war, and Athena and Ares are not suitable candidates for God King.
Today's Zeus also temporarily gave up his plan to pass on the throne because of that trip to Japan, which made it necessary to make up for the lies he said casually back then.
I just hope Perseus can understand himself in the future.
"It's not enough to directly let human beings obtain eternal life, but is it possible to use this kind of oblique method?"
After Zeus left, Perseus asked Athena, are all gods such awkward creatures?
"If it is another god system, the god king is basically a one-size-fits-all existence, just giving a few human beings a chance to live forever. Although this kind of thing will cause dissatisfaction among some gods, everyone will not say anything, but Perseus Si, you have to understand that the so-called dissatisfaction will continue to accumulate, and finally overthrow the rule of the god king."
Athena's words are very direct, but unlike human beings, the life of gods is too long, and their endurance is also high, so things like overthrowing a god-king are rare except for the gods like Greece, which regard fathers' kindness and sons' filial piety as a characteristic. This rarely happens.
"Father set the rules for the gods, and he became a role model for the gods. It is precisely because of this that the gods have never had any reason to rebel. Even the ambitious Poseidon only dared to wait for his father to make mistakes."
Athena spoke highly of Zeus, although she understood that the more perfect Zeus was, the less likely she would become the God King of Greece, but becoming the God King was not her entire goal, and she did not have to be the God King to achieve omniscience. Road.
"Typhon's descendants are inexhaustible. As long as humans exist, they will definitely grow into threats one by one. The gods are unwilling to put too much effort into it, so who will do these things?"
"Our demigod blood?"
Perseus also understood that these dirty jobs were handed over to them or some talented humans, and the rewards were what Zeus said before.
And they can't snatch the belief of the gods, they are really qualified tool people.
"Father's calculations are more than that. Once you obtain eternal life, Perseus, you will become the object that the gods must win over. When more and more heroes appear on the earth, the gods will continue to win over. Everyone's faith It will keep changing, and the entanglement of interests between God and God will never come to an end, so the father's position will never be usurped."
