Chapter 77 Golden Apple
The most eye-catching place is the bustling street. It is not an exaggeration to describe it with a sea of ​​people or a better word. There are fruit stalls, pastry stalls, cotton and linen textile stalls, and all kinds of life. Supplies are everything here.

This is the city of the royal palace, one of the few bustling areas in Alabasta.

The faces of the people coming and going are filled with happy smiles, and their laughter is intertwined with the sound of selling, which is even more warm and moving under the warm sunshine near dusk.

The breeze disperses the fragrance of bread and fruits, making people forget the hard work they have done to cultivate the oasis.

The wind blows along the long and narrow market between two rows of high-rise buildings. The flags above their heads gurgled along the wind and floated gently. The girls lowered their skirts, and the gentlemen lowered theirs. brim.

It gently brushed over everyone's body, and sent the fragrant perfume to the farther sky. The girls' long hair was fluttering, and they looked brighter under the gentle sunshine.

Connor was sitting on the edge of a tall flat-roofed building, holding a half-bitten golden apple in his hand. He looked down at the crowd passing by with a smile in his eyes.

Robin, who was sitting next to him, looked at the golden apple in his hand, hesitated for a while, and took a bite cruelly. Feeling the stimulating taste, she frowned and looked at Connor, asking, "Didn't you already know this? Are the golden apples a scam and why buy them?"

"Because it's interesting?" Connor chuckled, looking at the skirts of the girls, he said slowly, "Besides, I'm not because they said that if you eat it, you will live 1000 years, but because of the other few story.

By the way, Robin, have you heard the story of the golden apple? "

"Golden apples?" Robin shook her head. She probably heard that golden apples are a kind of magical treasure, but she didn't know much about the story of golden apples.

Connor said softly: "At the wedding of Zeus, the king of the gods, and Hera, Gaia, the goddess of the earth, gave them a gift of a tree full of golden apples. This is the origin of the golden apples.

After that, many stories were triggered by the golden apple.

One of the most important appearances was probably at the wedding of the human hero Paleus and the sea goddess Thetis.

At that time, all the gods were invited to the wedding except Eris, the goddess of discord.

So, holding a grudge, Eris presented a golden apple to the guests at the wedding, with the words "For the fairest goddess" written on it.

The three goddesses with the highest status and the most beautiful status among the goddesses-Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite could not settle for this golden apple. Other gods dared not speak for fear of offending the goddess. Young Paris judged.

In order to obtain the golden apple, the three goddesses offered attractive conditions:

Hera gave him supreme power and blessed him as a supreme ruler;
Athena is willing to give him wisdom and strength, encourage him to have the courage to take risks, and break out a heroic and brilliant road;

Aphrodite promised to make the most beautiful woman in the world fall in love with him and be his wife.

After thinking about it, Paris felt that power and domination would be enough to inherit his father's throne in the future. The road of a hero himself is a good skill to venture boldly, but love is not something that can be encountered every day.

So he gave the golden apple to Aphrodite.Later, with the help of Aphrodite, Paris abducted the queen of Sparta, the beauty Helen.

But this wedding also became the fuse of the Trojan War.

As for the Trojan War, that is another story, I have forgotten it a little bit, I will tell you when I have time when I think about it. "

After listening to Connor's story carefully, Robin frowned slightly and asked, "Is this a fairy tale? I've heard of some gods' names in it, but not others. Who told it to you?"

Connor took another bite of the golden apple, and said with a smile: "My mother, she told me a lot of weird myths, for example, these stories are Greek and Roman myths, and there are also some Chinese myths, Nordic myths, and Egyptian myths. , Japanese Mythology and the like.”

"Greece, Rome, Egypt, Japan, Shenzhou...these should be the names of countries, right?" Robin recalled the myths and history she had unearthed through archaeology. She had heard many strange country names and seen many It was a tortuous historical story, but she didn't have the slightest impression of the names of these countries that Connor said.

Connor nodded, and replied: "Well, yes. However, they should be the pseudonyms of some countries, but I don't know which countries they refer to specifically.

In fact, if you met me half a year ago, you still hope to know which countries these names refer to. However, a few months ago, my whole family was killed by murlocs.These myths have no source. "

"Really?" Robin sighed lightly, with lowered brows and eyes, "I'm sorry, it brought up your sadness again."

"It's okay." Connor shook his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "Many years ago, when my mother finished telling me those stories, she would always add such a sentence.

Connor, you must survive. Only by surviving can you see the wider world! "

This is what Connor's mother in his previous life once said to him, and it is what he says almost every day.

"Yeah." Robin nodded and laughed.

……

La Rohana port, on board the warship.

Looking at the thugs who were gradually suppressed by the king's army in the distance, Smoker let out a long sigh.

In the end, whether it was Crocodile or Baroque Works, or even the news of Pluto and the country's movements, they were all under Connor's single-handed control.

Smoker sighed, "Did he plan everything before he came to Alabasta?"

Da Siqi shook his head and said, "Colonel Smoker, it should be...impossible?"

Smoker breathed out a puff of smoke, and said slowly: "Before I decided to go after Connor, I asked someone to investigate all the information related to Connor.

Not long after arriving in Alabasta, information came in. Apart from the information related to the murlocs and Lyme Village, there were also some new information.

And because of this new information, my impression of Connor has changed a bit, which made me not deliberately ask Cobra about Connor in the Alabasta palace.

After leaving the palace and meeting Connor again, I was even willing to sit with him and have a peaceful discussion.

Facing the question of him asking me if I would join their pirate group, I was able to suppress the anger in my heart. "

"What information?" Da Siqi understands how proud Smoker is, so he will have such a change, and these information must have touched him deeply.

At the same time, she also understood that Smoker's next words would be very important. In order to ensure that she would not miss them, she straightened her glasses, took out a small notebook, and planned to record them seriously.
