Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

So--

"It's decided to be you! You wicked idiot! ! "

So they spent a very sweet night. When the silver-haired boy as handsome as a daffodil fell into quiet breathing, the moonlight became brighter under the gentle driving of a certain goddess, which accelerated Ye's physical recovery.

When they woke up the next day, the blessing of the sun began to take effect again. Although Apollo left with a sour face last night, he still spared no effort to use his divine power to help Ye become stronger during the day.

Ye slowly opened his eyes, which were as deep as stars, and felt refreshed.

A day's plan begins in the morning. When the morning sunlight shines through the window into the room, you can hear the birds singing outside.

Ye felt something in his heart. He got up, washed up, and took out the harp.

Later--

From the Greek tent came the sound of beautiful harps.

Chapter 49: The two people who awakened hope, brought vitality to the world!

Odysseus was in a bad mood--

Because of what happened yesterday, his herald was chopped off by Agamemnon, and in the end, he was called over privately by Agamemnon and punished.

Because he did not do his job well and did not make the existence of the sacred deer clear, Agamemnon wanted to ask Odysseus to pay the money and soldiers as compensation to Ye.

Odysseus naturally disagreed. He argued his case and used his eloquence to the fullest, but in the end Agamemnon still ordered him to pay half of the compensation.

He originally wanted to trick Agamemnon, but he didn't expect that he would end up tricking himself. In addition, when he thought of Ye riding the sacred deer and his unclear relationship with the goddess, Odysseus' face turned green and he was filled with jealousy.

Among many heroes, he may not be the most handsome one (it is recorded in mythology that he has an ordinary appearance), but he is extremely favored by the gods.

Odysseus has always been the favorite of the gods, but the object of favor of his favorite god is not him.

At this moment Odysseus finally understood how others saw him.

Even in such a bad mood, he still had a lot of internal affairs to deal with. Just when he was having a headache, a melodious piano sound came from the outside world, calming his mood.

Under the influence of the music, all the negative emotions in his heart disappeared unconsciously, and Odysseus, feeling extremely refreshed and clear, calmed down.

He showed a look of surprise - "What is this sound?"

The entire Greek coalition was made up of a bunch of rough guys, and few of them could play music.

By now Odysseus had guessed who was playing the music.

The singing could be heard even in the most remote areas of the coalition forces. Achilles woke up from his sorrow. When he heard the song, the gloom in his heart over the past few days was swept away and he felt much better.

He closed his eyes slightly and listened carefully, immersed in the song.

at the same time--

In a locked, dark room, a twin girl who looked somewhat like Chryseis was looking at the small skylight with a sad look in her eyes.

At this moment, a melodious song was heard. The cheerful tune was like a refreshing breeze that swept away the despair in the girl's heart. The free song made the girl unable to help but reveal a look of longing and yearning in her eyes.

"I wish I could be like that song, turning into the breeze, turning into a bird and flying freely in the sky."

She wanted to turn into a bird, escape from this cage, breathe fresh air freely, no longer be a plaything of any hero. She wanted to grow a pair of wings so that she could fly back to her sister and parents.

But when she thought of her current situation, the girl, whose mood had just improved a lot because of the singing, started crying again.

She is Bliss...

This is also the goal of Ye’s rescue this time.

Just as Briseis was feeling sad about his fate, the song in his ears changed again, gradually becoming more ethereal and vast.

It was as if she really had a pair of wings called "hope".

At this moment, she suddenly calmed down, looked out the window in a daze, and then couldn't help but stretch out her slender hand like a pink lotus root.

Just listen quietly and blankly until the song ends.

Then--

She seemed to have heard something from the song. She was no longer so sad, but her gaze was determined and she regained her desire to survive.

at the same time--

On the other side, many heroes also heard the song.

For most ordinary people, this song only inspires their fighting spirit in life to face each new day more positively.

For many heroes, it is just a pleasant-sounding, happy product.

But only those who are in the midst of despair can truly appreciate the magic of this song.

That magical power seems to be able to heal people's hearts.

The more frustrated people are, the more they can deeply appreciate the magic, and even vaguely feel the emotions and messages that the song wants to convey.

The ones who were most touched were Achilles and Briseis.

When the song ended, the night stopped.

"I hope it can be passed on..." he murmured.

The song that was just played was not only because I was in a good mood in the morning, but also because I wanted to use the song to comfort Briseis who was still being held in an unknown place.

For this purpose, Ye mobilized his strength to the maximum, and even the distant Troy could hear faint singing.

The powerful blessing of music allows him to pass on hope.

The music can inspire positive emotions in a person so that he or she does not give up hope of survival.

For those trapped and dying in cages, the most terrifying thing is not the process of torture and abuse, but gradually becoming accustomed to numbness, being institutionalized, and even losing the idea and desire to escape from the outside world.

Just like a line from The Shawshank Redemption.

These walls are interesting. When you first go to prison, you hate the walls around you, but then you get used to living in them, and eventually you find yourself having to rely on them to survive. That's institutionalization.

When you get used to despair and begin to adapt to and rely on your current life.

When one is suddenly freed, the feeling of being at a loss, not knowing where to go or where to settle down in this vast world, can easily break down a person's mental defenses.

The same is true for the ptsd effect…

In the end, the victim may even develop love and sympathy for the abuser, and in turn help protect the person who once hurt him or her so badly.

Although Ye has not found Briseis yet, he has already started trying to help the girl in his own way...

Maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude until you are rescued is very important for rescue.

Otherwise, Ye Zhen was worried that before he could rescue the person, the other person would have already died, or even had thoughts of suicide, which would be terrible.

He had promised Hector and Chryseis that he would rescue their sister.

At this moment, the music of the night was even better than expected.

It not only redeemed Briseis, but also slightly awakened the spirit of Achilles, who had been stuck in the quagmire.

Although it's just a song, a very simple harp sound.

But if you have to describe what it feels like for two people trapped in despair.

That is a special and very important medicine, which is the most suitable medicine for both of them right now.

If I had to describe it in two sentences, it would be - 'In this world, there are some things that cannot be carved into stone, and in our hearts, there is a place that cannot be locked, and that place is called hope.'

'Some birds should not be kept in cages because their feathers are so lush that when they fly away, you will sincerely celebrate their freedom.'

Chapter 50: The Sun God who couldn't help cursing but helped secretly

When every feather shines with the light of freedom, it turns into an invisible bird and flies into the blue sky with singing.

It was transmitted to Troy, and Chryseis, who was praying for the night in her room, heard it. She suddenly felt an indescribable peace of mind and an urge to be moved to tears.

"Is that you? Hero-sama."

It then spread to the sky and finally reached the ears of the gods.

Even the king of gods Zeus closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed the wonderful sound.

He suddenly felt a little curious about the owner of this voice.

Music of this level is rare even in heaven, and is comparable to that of the Muses and his son Apollo.

Zeus suddenly felt a sense of appreciation for the talent of this performer.

If possible, it would be nice to catch it in the sky and play music for yourself every day.

Well, it’s playing the piano for the gods.

Of course, you have to consider the performer's appearance first. If he is too ugly, forget it.

As a typical member of the appearance association, especially Zeus who is not picky about meat and vegetables, and accepts both men and women, although Zeus values ​​others more than their talents, he actually values ​​appearance more.

Otherwise, with the God of Forging's powerful ability to create various artifacts, he would not still be despised and looked down upon by his father Zeus.

At this time, Zeus only had some ideas but had not taken any action yet.

On the other side, among the other gods, three gods knew who was playing in the underworld, and they were very concerned about it.

They are Apollo, Artemis and Athena.

The effect of the full-force musical blessing was so terrifying that even Zeus, the king of gods who often enjoyed and listened to beautiful songs, felt that the music was comparable to that of the Muses and Apollo.

Who are the Muses? The nine goddesses who rule music. The popular idol group Lovelive in the daily two-dimensional world, led by Guo Huang, is named after Muses.

Apollo is the god of talent and art, and a superior god among the Muses.

It is comparable to the music of gods who specialize in music.

That was music that could shake the power of the state—

If used for seduction, no woman (ordinary person) in the world can resist it. They will be attracted by the wonderful music and become crazy about the person who plays this wonderful music.

Facing Ye's full firepower this time, Apollo expressed great admiration, as if the cub he had raised with great effort had finally performed perfectly in front of others, and he felt a sense of honor.

Artemis, who had been restless recently, was just about to calm down and adjust her mindset when she heard the voice of freedom, which was so consistent with her side as the goddess of hunting, as if it was music to her heart.

He understands me...

Artemis, who had this feeling inexplicably, just listened to the music silently at first, but the more she listened, the more she was immersed in it and couldn't help being attracted by the emotions in the song.

Originally, it was difficult for God to be distracted by a piece of music.

But because the free style of this song was so suitable for Artemis, Artemis, who liked it very much, unconsciously let go of her heart and actively immersed herself in it.

If Apollo saw this scene, his bright smile would disappear immediately, and he would shout in his heart -

Oops, our house was robbed again!

Before, the hero he favored was stolen by Artemis, and now the hero he favored has stolen the heart of his beloved sister.

Good boy——! He has started to flirt with the goddess again!

In fact, the goddess that was flirted with this time was not only Artemis, but many other goddesses also became curious about it, and even the male god -

There are quite a few gods who have become interested in a mortal in the underworld because of a piece of music, but for now, it is just the germination of seeds that have not yet begun to bloom and bear fruit.

Then, like Artemis, another goddess of wisdom, Athena, was also greatly affected by the special attack at this time.

At this time, Athena was wearing a white slit long skirt and no armor. She looked more like a goddess of wisdom than a goddess of war, and she looked like a pitiful and gentle girl.

A person's current personality and mood can also be reflected in his clothes.

She is more inclined towards the talent side, and she happened to hear beautiful singing on such a refreshing morning.

Athena, who had a great appreciation for art and even carved many beautiful statues herself, soon became immersed in music.

Only those who understand music can understand how extraordinary this talent is. Even Athena's eyes were filled with brilliance.

Originally, Ye's performance in the previous battle made her see the hero's courage and strength, as well as his unwavering love (? ) and faith in the goddess.

Now we can truly see the extremely powerful side of his talent.

Although she knew that Ye was a musician and had performed at the banquet yesterday, that level of music, although beautiful, was not enough to attract Athena's attention.

This thoughtful performance, which contained "heartfelt" and wanted to convey the feelings through singing, really surprised Athena.

You have to be talented, handsome, courageous, capable, and knowledgeable - these are the criteria that most attract Athena.
