Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

"What's the specific reason? Do you know?" Ye asked hurriedly.

Chryseis hesitated and deferred for a moment, and finally told the truth he had heard from others with difficulty.

"Maybe it's because of my sister Blisseth..."

Chryseis's eyes were slightly red, and then she told the story to Ye.

In the Battle of Thebes, although the Greek army and Achilles were successfully repelled by Night and Hector in the end.

But during the retreat, her sister Briseis was not rescued and was captured by the enemy.

What happened afterwards was subtly different from the history that Ye knew.

If both sisters were captured, then when Achilles returned, Agamemnon would take the elder sister Chryseis when receiving the spoils, and Achilles would get the younger sister Briseis.

But now, he only managed to snatch one sister, Briseis.

There is no need to say much about the appearance of sister Briseis, as she was a woman that could attract the attention of the great hero Achilles, whose mother was a sea nymph.

Even though Ye only saw the elder sister now, from the beautiful girl in front of him who was not much less beautiful than Helena, he could guess how beautiful the younger sister was.

Achilles and Agamemnon had a fierce conflict because they fell in love with the same woman...

But under the temptation of beauty, Agamemnon, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, snatched Briseis away despite Achilles' opposition and anger.

This completely angered Achilles, who simply withdrew from the Greek coalition and even prepared to return home.

Wait, Ye suddenly remembered——

In the original heroic story, Achilles seemed to have had a conflict with Agamemnon because of Briseis.

That was after Agamemnon was forced to return Chryseis, having lost his sister, and simply turned to snatch Briseis, Achilles' sister, who was already a member of Achilles, causing Achilles to leave the battlefield for a while in anger.

Afterwards, the Greeks realized that they could not defeat the enemy without Achilles, so they tried their best to persuade Achilles to come back.

Now, due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, Achilles left the Greek side early.

No wonder Troy gained the upper hand so quickly—!

At this point, Chryseis, who was deeply worried about her sister, burst into tears: "My poor sister Briseis, she is trapped alone in the enemy camp, being fought over by two men...

Like a piece of cargo, the men treated it as their trophy and divided it up at will.

No one cares what she thinks.”

Chryseis did not call those people heroes. Perhaps in her mind, these people were not worthy of the title of heroes at all.

sudden--

Chryseis stood up and bowed to Ye Shenshen, then suddenly knelt down, clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly -

“Although I know this request is excessive, but - please help me save my sister Briseis.

My hero...

If you are favored by Lord Apollo."

night:……!

His heart was slightly touched, not that he didn't want to help.

But this prayer was basically beyond his ability to fulfill with his current capabilities.

Briseis is trapped in the enemy camp. If you want to sneak into the enemy camp to find Briseis who is under guard and lead him to escape, you may encounter snipers from other heroes on the way. This kind of thing——

Not to mention him, even the demigod Achilles would find it difficult to do it.

When Briseis was just taken away, Achilles wanted to draw his sword and kill Agamemnon, but Ye remembered that even Athena came down to the world to stop Achilles and protect Agamemnon's life.

Even the demigod could only wear a cuckold and feel helpless and furious. What could he do?

Ye remembered that after Achilles returned this time, he ran to complain to his mother.

Thetis, the sea nymph, who heard that her daughter-in-law had been taken away, also had a bad temper, so she immediately went to ask Zeus for help.

Because Thetis had once invited the hundred-armed giant to help Zeus in the war of the gods, and Zeus did not refuse. Originally supporting the Greek side, he turned around and prepared to teach Agamemnon a lesson first.

So for the time being, the gods might allow Troy to suppress Greece for a while, letting Agamemnon suffer, and they will not provide any assistance at all.

But Greek reinforcements will arrive sooner or later, but no one knows how long it will take.

At this moment, in reality, we see the silent night.

Chryseis' heart sank to the bottom, but she chose to understand...

"I'm sorry, hero, I'm causing you trouble.

Maybe I should ask Lord Apollo for help.

Saving Briseis is indeed a very difficult task.

I shouldn't force you to perform such a miracle."

A miracle?

Aren't heroes meant to create miracles?

But I am not a hero——

Although he didn't owe Chryseis anything and even saved her life, he watched the longing, trust and expectation in her eyes, and then she gradually looked away and seemed to have recovered her mood.

——The other party should be very disappointed now.

Thinking of this, for Ye, who was regarded as a hero and expected by others, I just felt that this trust was too heavy.

But should we place our hopes on an illusory god?

Although Apollo was indeed powerful - he was indeed successful in rescuing Chryseis in the original history, he failed to get Briseis back.

In this world, even if Apollo is willing to help, how much time will it take for him to slowly unleash the plague and cause heavy losses to the enemy soldiers?

Even if we succeed in getting Briseis back, there's no guarantee that she might come back with a big belly.

After all, according to the description in the original book, Briseis had obviously lost her virginity and was no longer qualified to be a priestess of God.

It has been a while since Briseis was kidnapped. It can be said that every day we wait, the possibility of Briseis's purity falling will increase, and the hope of being rescued will decrease accordingly...

Chapter 5 introduces the sister as she says, Hector is really a true brother!

If this land was Rome - relying on the blessing of Roman land, Ye might still be able to give it a try, but now it is obviously a situation where there is no hope of survival.

Just then there was the sound of footsteps at the door, and Hector's surprised voice suddenly rang in Ye's ears.

"Thank the great gods, my brother - you have finally woken up."

As soon as Hector entered the room, he saw Chryseis who had not yet stood up...

He suddenly realized something and felt awkward, neither leaving nor coming in. At this time, Hector had already stepped half a foot into the room.

Chryseis stood up very confidently and bowed gracefully.

"Your Majesty Hector...

My hero has just woken up, and I believe you must have a lot to say to him.

Chryseis will not disturb you guys from reminiscing about the past." After saying this, Chryseis tactfully prepared to leave.

But Hector stopped her: “I’ve told you so many times, you don’t have to call me Your Highness.

Just call me brother like Paris does.

It seems that I came at the wrong time.

Chryseis, are you worried about Briseis—"

Upon hearing her sister's name, Chryseis's expression suddenly darkened, and she felt a sense of loneliness that she could no longer conceal.

Hector clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Please give me some time, Chryseis——

Briseis is my sister too, and I will not give up on rescuing her."

Chryseis nodded slightly and thanked her brother from the bottom of her heart.

They are cousins, but in fact, given the status of women in Greece, how many men really care about women's feelings.

Even relatives are no exception - at least Paris has basically never visited Chryseis until now.

After comforting his sister, Hector looked at Ye again, very happy to see him here again...

This will prevent him from losing another brother——!

He had already lost many of his people in this war and was unwilling to lose a brother who had shared life and death with him.

Ye could see that Hector was genuinely happy for him, and he kept boasting that because of him, the situation in Troy was beginning to improve. The rescued combat forces of the surrounding city-states and the successful persuasion of the Amazon Queen as foreign aid were also due to Ye's contribution.

It just so happened that the king was holding a celebration banquet, and he wanted to take Ye to meet his brothers and sisters.

This touched Ye's heart. It turned out that he was the one who really received great help from the very beginning.

It can be said that without Hector’s early support, he would not be where he is today.

When it comes to the Trojan War, everyone's original intentions were different.

Some people join the war for glory and to fully display their talents - Achilles, some people join the war for profit and territory - Agamemnon, and some people join the war for beauty and face - Paris.

Only Hector - he had only one reason to fight from beginning to end, to protect his country and his loved ones. Such a man owed nothing to anyone. He was involved in a brutal fight and ended up with a tragic death.

It may be difficult to change the outcome of the Trojan War, as it is related to the attitudes of the gods behind the scenes, but at least he wants to protect Hector in this war.

Ye readily agreed to Hector's invitation and cherished this rare peaceful time.

"What are you waiting for, my brother." Ye stood up. His body was no longer in danger at this time. Even with the weakness buff, he had recovered to a physical fitness far beyond that of a strong Trojan soldier.

He already considered Hector as a brother.

After confirming that Ye was completely healed, Hector gave Ye a tight hug. He exclaimed that this was a miracle.

Maybe there really are gods blessing the night.

This reminded Hector of the miracle he had witnessed that day in Thebes.

Then he smiled at Ye and said, “By the way, I said that if we can come back alive, I will introduce my beautiful sister to you.

What do you think of Chryseis?"

When Hector spoke so suddenly, even Chryseis and others beside him were slightly stunned. It was obvious that they did not expect that their own melon would be eaten.

Her face flushed slightly, and her pale complexion, which had been caused by Briseis' incident, had improved significantly.

Ye looked at Chryseis's swan-like neck, and her crystal earlobes had turned completely red.

In Greece, it was not uncommon for a hero to save a beautiful girl and for the beautiful girl to fall in love with the hero.

And considering the feeling during their previous communication, Chryseis doesn't seem to be averse to him... There's hope!

Ye: "Chryseis is naturally beautiful. If the war hadn't ended yet, I think I would have been unable to resist pursuing her."

But I just kept silent and ignored other people's requests for help...

Ye didn't have the nerve to continue teasing the other party, not to mention that in Greece - having contact with beautiful women is a very dangerous thing.

They would be dragged into crises at any time, which might even lead to the death of gods.

In the myth, Apollo really liked this witch of his.

If I really snatched Chryseis away, I wonder what kind of expression the sun god would have when he turned around.

On the other hand, Chryseis was somewhat unable to resist the admiration of Ye, the hero in her mind.

She hurriedly expressed her intention to return to the new temple of Apollo, the god of light, which was temporarily built in Troy, and was not planning to attend the banquet with Ye and others.

However, Hector suddenly suggested that Ye should go to the Temple of Apollo to pay homage.

It was almost a tacit understanding among Hector and others that Ye was blessed by Apollo.

Paying homage to Apollo?!

Without much hesitation, Ye nodded in agreement.

He should indeed thank Apollo for giving him the ability to save his life, so it is not excessive for him to pay tribute to him.

Although Ye had no intention of believing in gods at the beginning.
