Bouquet of Narcissus

Is God really omnipotent?

Laomedon didn't think so. He believed that fate was unpredictable, and even the gods had to submit to the rules of fate.So when the mortals in the city were terrified and afraid of being retaliated by the gods, they didn't take it seriously and held sacrifices as usual, "He said he was a god, did he show any miracles?" I asked many people, including His friends and lovers call him Poro, and as far as I know none of the gods of Olympus bears that name. A god without a name is not something we should fear."

Laomedon was very courageous, "At the beginning I agreed to his request, let him have a place in the ranch, and gave him a job so that he would not be displaced, but now he turns around and accuses me of being ungrateful. I can't agree with this. "Thinking of this, he suddenly summoned another partner, "Herald, go find the architect of the city wall, Phenemos. He asked me to allocate a huge sum of money to improve the lives of the slaves for many days, but I refused. .Now that I think about it, he must have blessed the same complaint. These bloody greedy people never miss my kindness to them."

The herald went down.

The queen blew the pillow wind, "My king, you don't have to be so angry. All this is blamed on Narcissus. His mother left him here. He has no sense of being a guest. Instead, he disturbed the order in the palace and killed people at will. Now The shepherd has disappeared, or died, but he has not punished him at all. I think that although Clottey has agreed to reconcile on the surface, he is still very dissatisfied in his heart, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to cooperate in the future. Why don't we give them another gift, And punish Narcissus at the same time, let him build the city wall."

Laomedon looked at the queen fixedly, "Why do you think this way? He is the son of the goddess, the only child. After the goddess came back, she found that we sent him to do coolies. If he gets angry, how can we face it?"

The queen was dissatisfied, "My king, didn't you just say that gods are not enough to prove? What's so scary about a small river god. Besides, I don't know when I will come back, but the envoys of Clottey haven't returned yet. I am mourning their prince. And Narcissus is still spreading rumors in the palace, which will damage my chastity and your dignity." After speaking, the queen began to cry, "Now the eldest prince and the second prince don't believe me, Although I knew that I could not replace their biological mother, but I have lost my prestige in the palace, how do you let me deal with myself?"

Laomedon was about to say something, but his little daughter Hesione ran in and hugged his leg, and cried aggrievedly, "Dear father, I am really sad, now there are rumors in the palace that my Mother has done something that I'm sorry to you, and the ladies of the palace ridiculed me."

"Bold!" Laomedon was very angry, and slapped the table, "Who dares to laugh at my favorite, gouges out her eyes, and throws her into the pond to feed the fish!"

The queen helped her daughter up, "Poor Hesione, don't cry, speak slowly."

Hesione talked about how domineering Narcissus taught her, and how scared the beheaded man was when he came back that day. He talked about the celestial phenomena of that day and the night when the prince was killed. .It is said that her fiancé, Prince Croti, died in the palace of Troy, and she also contributed to the flames, because it was rumored that she was dissatisfied with the marriage.

Hesione's eyes were red, as if she was about to cry to death in the next moment, the queen also hugged her daughter and cried bitterly, "My lord, the goddess of fate has treated us like this, we mother and daughter can't live anymore." For a while, Laomedon didn't know how to deal with these two women, his face turned red and white, and the queen said: "All this is because of Narcissus, he is lying about me, my king, you must do it for me." Your wife will seek justice and give me justice."

Hesione acted like a baby to her father, "Father, he still went to rob the execution ground, which is obviously his disregard for you and contempt for the law of Troy. After returning from the guillotine, he went to his brother one after another, saying that your judgment was wrong, Disregarding human life! You also threatened that water monsters appeared because of your corrupt regime."

Laomedon's anger disappeared in a flash, and the queen added fuel to the fire. Finally, the king was persuaded, "Let him be punished too."

Coincidentally, at this time, the designer of the wall defender, Fenemos, arrived.

Fenemos was wearing a straw hat and straw sandals. He was tall and burly. He was rebellious but asked in a polite tone: "What is the king calling me for?"

Laomedon was kind to him at first.Because when he was at a loss, this person came to help him.But as his power became stronger and stronger, the castle and the infrastructure in the city were all completed, and the city wall was about to be built, this man still looked so rebellious and arrogant, which made Laomedon very angry.

He also asked for various benefits in threes and fives, allowing him to reward him with exquisite blankets, sweet wine and bread, which caused him to lose a large amount of wealth.So Laomedon became more and more dissatisfied with him, but he had to reuse him because the city wall he built was extremely strong, and because the slaves and laborers listened to him.

Laomedon first talked about the shepherd. "You are partners who came together. Maybe you also have doubts in your heart. Will I keep my promise and keep your gold, silver, jewelry, bronze, pig iron and animal husbandry? Don't worry about this, I will not." The king stepped down from the throne, Holding Phenemos's hand, he said emotionally: "You all helped me build Troy. I will never break my promise, but if anyone makes a mistake, I will never forgive him lightly. The shepherd killed other countries. Prince, pleaded not guilty, and threatened that I would suffer God's revenge, which really makes me sad."

Finemus was noncommittal and remained silent.Laomedon continued: "Does that partner of yours really know some kind of god or is he a god? Could it be that there are two gods in my country that I don't know, making your pearls dusty and not being treated as they should be?" , it's my fault. Tell me, dear designer, is my guess right?"

Fenemos sneered three times, showing a mocking smile, "Why does the king think this way, the person standing in front of you is just a mortal, lucky enough to have some architectural talent, just come here to make a living. As long as the city wall is built Give me the reward that belongs to me, and everything will be fine. As for my friend, we haven't been in touch for a long time, and everything about him has nothing to do with me."

Laomedon laughed loudly, "Come on man, let's have a good drink." He ordered some delicious food and wine to be arranged, and after the meal was full, he said, "I have a small request. The son of an old man is too stubborn, I want him to be quiet. Leave it to you, let him be a little mason, maybe he can sharpen his temper and know some good and bad." Si prepared half a cart of bread, a fat sheep, three large tanks of milk, two crocks of fine wine and some cheese, and asked him to take them back to the laborers under the city wall.

Finiemos agreed with the bribe of three carts of food.He raised his lips, "Send it tomorrow. I will treat him well." It seems that this is some unlucky ghost who was disliked by the king.

A little poor.When Fenemos thought of this, that snowy and delicate face suddenly appeared in his mind.He pursed his lips in a half-smile.

Instead of being angry, Narcissus was very happy when he heard the news.

He could finally hang out without having to deal with annoying people, so he happily set off.His momma wanted to continue to follow him to take care of him, but was rejected, "I'll be back soon."

Followed the herald to the place where he lived and saw the man.

Narcissus was dumbfounded and angry.

And Phinemos smiled, and happily took over the little beauty sent by the king.

After the herald went back, he described the scene to the king: "Your Highness rushed over to fight and fight, but I don't know how the designer did it. His Highness fell to the ground, and I felt very distressed. When I left, they Still fighting, respectable king, do you want to recall him?"

Laomedon hesitated for a moment, and the queen took the opportunity to say: "I think the designer should have a sense of proportion, my king, you don't have to worry, since we are helping Narcissus get rid of some bad habits, our hearts It cannot be softened."

The king waved his hand and told the herald to go down and hugged the queen: "You are right. Maybe the river god will appreciate me when he comes back." Then the two fell down on the large bed.

Blocked by the guards, Priam sighed, knowing that his father would never take back his order.
