Bouquet of Narcissus

The reservoir was temporarily blocked, and the palace's water problem had to be solved, so the sacrifice was imminent.

A grand sacrifice requires a lot of manpower and material resources: twelve beautiful girls and six underage boys, three auxiliary priests, and one high priest.

In terms of utensils, it is necessary to prepare a large iron pot dyed gold and many bronze utensils, and put them on the fire.Then a [-]-kilo steer is slaughtered.There are two three-year-old lambs, followed by many fruit plates and bouquets, all around the altar.

Then choose pious believers to kneel down below and offer tribute to God on a sunny day.

The king led his wife and son and many members of the royal family to start the sacrifice. They contributed to the sea god, hoping that he would bless him.

"Son of the god king Cronus, the great sea god Poseidon, please accept our love

I, Troy, was built on the ruins and proudly established with the mercy of the priest Zeus. It has been more than [-] years now

Now the great cause is about to be accomplished, and the glory shines on the solid walls.But this little source of water is a pain in my heart

God, the great master, please help us eliminate the sea monster and return us a piece of pure land

The ocean, the origin of all things, the source of water, the fruit of life, how can we have less, how can we not cherish

After that day, the howling of sea monsters could be heard, and people in the palace were panicked.

Lord of my seas, great Poseidon, may you be well and have mercy on your followers

May the sea monster be removed as soon as possible, and the city wall be built as soon as possible. May the weather and the harvest be good for Troy as soon as possible.

At that time, I will send my most precious treasure of Troy, priceless wealth, and a hundred altars of fine wine for you to enjoy

Great and generous God, please give us strength and courage! "

Everyone shouted for God's reward until they were exhausted and hoarse and unable to speak.

Jumping, singing and shouting all day long.

After the end, the king asked the priest: "My respected priest, did the god send an oracle?"

The priest shook his head.

The king was disappointed, "Maybe we need to sacrifice three days in a row."

The priest nodded, "Wait for me to sleep at night, and see if I can get the enlightenment from the night god."

The sacrifice continued.

Narcissus recuperated in his bedroom.

After hearing his description, Priam wanted to go down to hunt the sea monster, but was stopped by his wife.

Narcissus said: "Don't move for now, the sea monster is locked, I personally think the reservoir can still be enjoyed." It's not like now, the palace actually restricts water due to flooding.And he was itchy all over, he really wanted to take a bath, endure it for another day, if not, he would go to Mount Ida.

Priam didn't listen to dissuasion, went to the reservoir, and took twenty warriors from Troy into the water.They have superb swimming skills and equipment, and vowed to eradicate sea monsters, return the palace to a pure land, and return the palace to a clean and pollution-free water source.

Many people stood on the shore, praying for them.

An hour later, they still surfaced, and gradually some people became anxious, wandering back and forth anxiously.

Just as the people on the shore were about to go into the water to check the situation.Priam and some of the warriors surfaced in great distress, lying pale and panting.

After a while, Priam said: "I followed the road in my memory, but there was no trace of sea monsters. There was nothing but seaweed and mud. The bottom of the water sucks black, so people can't breathe, so they can only go ashore. Maybe They escaped." That was all he could guess.

But what happened later made people know that the sea monster did not disappear, but became more and more violent.

After they left the reservoir, the clouds were dense and dark, and sure enough, at night, it rained cats and dogs.

The water in the reservoir surged out, submerging the shore, and many tiny insects crawled out.These tiny insects fly domineeringly like gravel on a cliff, and they specially fall in love with people, causing the queen to scream, and even the princesses and maids are very scared.

The insects were densely packed, and soon covered the royal city along the water flow.

The high priest lamented, and Cassandra said, "The sea god is angry."

But everyone couldn't figure it out. They didn't know where his anger came from. Could it be that there were too few sacrifices?

After the heavy rain, talented people and strangers were recruited from outside the palace to catch the bugs.

And the shepherd Poro entered the palace, "I'm here to catch the worms." He said, "My great cause of shepherding has been completed, now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

The king waved his hand to the shepherd and said generously, "As long as you can catch and clean these bugs, I will promise all your requests, including the promise I made before."

The shepherd greeted the king with a smile, winked at Narcissus as he retreated, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I'm here to see you."

There are more than a dozen people who entered the palace with him. They wore straw hats and pulled fine fishing nets. They all had golden eyes. They were burned with fire, buried with lime, soaked in salt water, and caught with fishing nets, all the time without stopping.

After nightfall, the eldest prince placed them in the chamber, and the Poro came to see Narcissus, "Has the murderer been found?" he asked, "How is your injury?"

Narcissus shook his head, still thinking that it was impossible for anyone to kill him, how could such an excellent person be disliked.He has this self-confidence, "Maybe they killed the wrong person."

The Poro smiled brightly, "I found that arrow, which is exactly the same as that of Idashan. I will take you there." Taking advantage of the darkness, he took Narcissus out.

They came to the palace where foreign guests were entertained, guarded by two guards, Narcissus and Poro bypassed them and entered the long corridor to the door.

In the heavy curtains, there are intimate voices from men and women, "Honey, I can't stay here tonight."

"But, I can't control my love for you, stay here tonight, my..." Then there was a rustling voice, Narcissus opened the curtain curiously, and saw someone he thought he knew, it was Lao Mo Dong's second wife, a duchess from Tarot, was invisible to the man who was with her because his back was facing her.

With a mocking smile, the Poro slid past Narcissus, pointing to a wall opposite their bed, where a bow and quiver hung, and he mouthed, "That's the one."

The two of them on the bed had already rolled together, and the Poro's heart was burning hot as he waited turbulently.He was close to Narcissus, his heart was up and down, and his eyes were unconsciously fixed on his fair and slender neck.

Narcissus felt the hot breath behind him, ducked, and then stepped on the curtain, and the poro grabbed him to prevent him from falling.The two made some noise and were spotted, "Who's there?"

The woman panicked and pressed her throat to ask.

Then there was the rustling sound of clothes rubbing, and someone got out of bed to investigate.

Poro pulled Narcissus and ran away, but no one dared to chase him out.The two of them hid under the stone steps, and waited for a long time. A beautiful woman fled slowly, and then the two sneaked to the bedroom. The man disappeared, and the two of them saw the arrow.

Yes.

"It turns out that someone really wanted to kill me." He muttered to himself.

The shepherd confirmed that this was the same batch of arrows that assassinated him, so Narcissus said, "It belongs to Croti." There was an engraved coat of arms on the quiver.

But he was not familiar with Clottey's people at all, except for one of their princes who had met several times, but he ignored that person because he was as annoying to him as Hesione.

"That's not necessarily true." Poro had a different opinion, then he narrowed his eyes, and quickly took two steps between the curtains on the right, "No, let's go!"

"What?" Narcissus wondered.

As a result, as soon as the voice fell, a gust of wind blew, and a person's head rolled down, staring at the two people in the dark with wide eyes.

Narcissus took a breath, and then the flames outside burst into flames, and a group of guards rushed in, illuminating the hall.

"Your Highness!? What's the matter with you?" Someone cried and rushed over, hugged the head, crying in agony, "My Highness, what's wrong with you, talk!"

They are all dead, their heads have fallen off the ground, so what, the dead can only speak in the underworld.

A lot of people came in, and someone accused the two of them with a firm attitude: "It was you, you killed our prince, you murderer! You all deserve to die!"

It's time to do it.

The Poro calmed down, his face was heavy, and his eyes revealed a look of sarcasm, and he quickly said to Narcissus, "You guys have wronged people, the queen did it!"

Narcissus also said: "He died as soon as we entered, we didn't kill him."

But no one believed it. Clottey's guards drew their swords and glared at them, intending to capture them and avenge their prince.At this time, Troy's palace guards also came, and the two sides confronted each other.

Poro said to Narcissus: "Women are really demons wearing masks, the more beautiful the more evil." Seeing Narcissus's pale face, he comforted: "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with us. The king will not Condemn at will, he still owes me a lot of promises."

The king and envoys arrived immediately.

Facing the prince's body and the accusations of the attendants, the two couldn't argue with each other. They explained in every possible way but no one believed it.When King Laomedon heard that Narcissus and Poro said that the queen was cheating, his face changed drastically, and he immediately became furious and told them to shut up.

Everyone was also silent.When the queen heard about it, she wanted to commit suicide immediately, saying that she was slandered and lost her virginity.

In this way, Narcissus and Poro were accused of killing the prince of Croti, Sony, and were imprisoned separately.

A trial about the death of Prince Croti is going on in the city of Troy.
