Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

Thinking of Hector's terrifying presence on the battlefield, and the rumor that had been circulating in the camp, it was not actually two heroes who defeated Achilles, but the credit of Hector alone.

After all, after the night lily bloomed, even Paris and others no longer paid attention to it and it "died". Compared with such an unknown person, people are more likely to believe that it was Hector, the strongest hero of Troy, who defeated Achilles alone.

As for Patroclus facing this kind of monster, he imagined the horrific scene of Hector's shining helmet and lance piercing him to pieces, and his face suddenly turned horrified: Aa ...

Chapter 63: Truth, rejoice, you finally died before me

Patroclus was a greedy man.

He was like the shadow of Achilles, following the demigod closely.

But as a shadow, there will always be a day when you want to turn over and become the real body.

But the future that Ye described for him, coupled with the charm of music, pulled his dazed mind, as if he saw the desperate, cold look in his eyes when Hector pierced his chest and he was in pain.

His chest ached slightly. Even with the shining armor protecting him, Patroclus did not feel safe at all.

Under the threat of death, and the fact that returning the armor was not without profit, Patroclus was tempted.

He promised to return the armor, but only after receiving the reward promised by King Agamemnon.

In order to show that his value was absolutely worth the money - Patroclus also said that he was very generous - he could help Agamemnon recommend that he put on Achilles' armor at night.

He really treats this thing as his own property.

A hint of sarcasm flashed through Ye's heart.

I have to say this man is really stupid.

He was easily instigated by Nestor and rushed to fight for the artifact equipment which was far beyond his control.

Now they are using the return as a bargaining chip.

For Agamemnon, as long as Achilles' armor was worn away by someone, it didn't matter to the king who it was.

All he wanted to see was Achilles' impotent rage at being humiliated.

Because of Ye and others, asking Agamemnon to replace people and paying for it was already an act that greatly angered the tyrant.

For Agamemnon, paying money for a candidate he didn't care about was completely an unnecessary disaster.

Now this idiot is arrogant enough to choose the next owner of the armor.

The things you bought with money cannot be used as you wish or as you please...

This kind of Minotaur feeling is like when a friend asks you to buy a gift for his or her birthday and specifies the most expensive one, which is uncomfortable.

People who have no sense of boundaries are the most annoying ones.

But Ye naturally didn't care whether this giant baby would offend Agamemnon. It would be best if he angered Agamemnon and died in the other's hands.

By then, the furious Achilles would have no chance of returning to the Greek camp.

By then, he would have Achilles in his left hand and Hector in his right hand, and there would be no one in the coalition who could fight him.

Find an opportunity to drag the God of War into the water in advance, and before the gods can react, destroy the Greek army in one fell swoop - it's just around the corner. Perfect -!

At this time, Ye said, "Okay, but the person you want to nominate is neither me nor Ajax the Great."

Patroclus was slightly stunned.

Not you two?

Looking at others with selfish motives, I think that these guys are stopping me from getting the armor just because I want to wear it?

But you don’t want either of them?

Patroclus felt subtly unhappy in his heart - it was as if something you regarded as a treasure was discarded by others. Wouldn't it make his previous behavior and thoughts seem extremely dirty and like a clown?

Patroclus: "Who should we elect then?"

Night: "Palamedes..."

Such an unexpected name came out of his mouth that night.

At this time, even Ajax the Great, who had already prepared himself mentally that he could not wear the armor, was stunned.

How could it be him? !

Hero Griffith thought that person was the perfect candidate.

but--

Hero Palamedes! This is a hero with a very special status that almost all heroes know.

Although he was not as famous as Odysseus, Diomedes and others, almost all the heroes were invited by him.

In mythology, he was known as the most knowledgeable of the Greek coalition forces.

He was the son of King Nauplius and Clymene.

He is diligent, intelligent, honest, determined, handsome, and can sing and play the piano.

He invented the lighthouse, the scale, the measuring machine, the dice, etc. He added four letters to the Phoenician alphabet that was introduced to Greece. He was also the inventor of numbers, coins, and the calendar. He did many things for the Greeks, but was not treated fairly.

All of this stems from the fact that he once recruited too many heroes who originally did not want to participate in this war.

For example, he exposed the disguise of Odysseus, who was pretending to be crazy, and then was hated by him and finally killed by him.

After being framed, he was abandoned by all the heroes.

He shouted: Truth, rejoice, for you finally died before me!

He was then stoned to death by Odysseus.

This also led to Odysseus being cursed by the gods after the incident, and the goddess of justice wanted to punish Odysseus.

Even though Zeus, who had always loved Odysseus, secretly protected him, he still had to wander in the Aegean Sea for ten years before he was able to return home.

Such a special existence, although he has no strength, can you say he is ordinary? Not at all——!

Night: "I learned from Odysseus that Palamedes is the most knowledgeable among us, and he will definitely not be exposed if he pretends to be Achilles."

At this time, the night dug a small pit for Odysseus.

He had once casually asked Decius what he thought of the hero Palamedes at a previous banquet.

Odysseus, who hid all his resentment in his heart, naturally praised Palamedes on the surface.

Even if Odysseus were here, he would not find anything wrong with hearing this.

But in the future this could become a fatal blow to Odysseus.

The feeling that Ye said at this time would make people feel that Odysseus thought so, and Ye was just influenced by him so he recommended Palamedes.

As if it was done on purpose——!

Ajax the Great hesitated to speak——!

Since this is the comment from the wise man Odysseus, then there should be no problem with Palamedes.

But Palamedes' power was not strong.

In comparison, Ye always said that he was a musician, but almost beat a Greek hero with his bare hands.

He was a serious musician, and although he was also a hero, like Odysseus, he was better at oratory and invention than at martial arts.

Wouldn't Palamedes be in danger as well?

But should I say it?

When Palamedes was falsely accused in the myth, no hero stood up to believe him, which shows how unpopular this man was.

Although he is just and kind, he is too straightforward when it comes to sitting on people.

If Patroclus died, Ajax the Great would worry that Achilles would fight for him.

But Palamedes...

Who cares about him?

Anyway, as long as that terrible future can be changed.

It doesn't matter who gets to wear the armor.

Ajax the Great remained silent. Achilles, who had already known the plan, naturally supported Ye unconditionally. As for Patroclus, he didn't care at all.

If you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it——!

Compared to that kind of thing, anyone would be fine, he just wanted to get Agamemnon's reward as soon as possible.

Chapter 64: Get Rid of Your Weapons! The Blessing of Music Has Infinite Uses

I had planned this before. Although I have gone through many identity concealments, my true identity will be exposed sooner or later.

...Kill as many Greek heroes as possible before being exposed.

Ye's primary targets were naturally those who played an important role in the coalition forces, or those who could cause great damage to the internal stability of the Greek side if killed.

And Palamedes is such a time bomb.

He wanted to detonate Odysseus' scandal in advance and let the legend of the Odyssey go in another direction.

Odysseus, who was favored by the gods, finally committed an unforgivable sin.

If--

Odysseus only has the idea now, and he may take action against Palamedes in the future.

Then Ye should take the initiative to hand him the knife.

In this process, he didn't even have to meet and talk with Odysseus.

Think about it carefully - although he could collude with Odysseus, he was confident that he could do it perfectly and harm Palamedes more smoothly than in the myth, but it would be easy for him to be tied to a warship with Odysseus.

Afterwards, once Odysseus is exposed, he will also be exposed.

But it doesn't matter -

Soon he came up with a new and bold idea.

It was a perfect plan that no one could have imagined or doubted.

As long as the heroes and gods at this time still have no doubts about their identities, they will never think of themselves.

after all--

Ye looked in the direction of Troy, and remembered what he had told Hector to let go of the man wearing Achilles' armor, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

It seems that there is another way to kill people.

……

Soon, Patroclus, wearing Achilles' armor, followed Night and Ajax all the way to Agamemnon's tent.

Countless soldiers and heroes who saw Patroclus' armor mistook him for Achilles.

His action of heading straight for Agamemnon's location immediately made all the heroes unable to sit still and they all became nervous.

It doesn't look like he's going to deliver armor!

Is it possible that Achilles is going to attack Agamemnon again?

The heroes headed towards the camp where Agamemnon was.

At this time, Patroclus had already informed Agamemnon of all the requirements and conditions as they had agreed before.

During this process, many heroes came here one after another.

When they discovered that the man wearing the armor was Patroclus and not Achilles himself, the heroes' eyes showed hostility and dissatisfaction that was difficult to conceal.

Patroclus? Why is the armor on him? How could he have the ability to--!

Had Agamemnon decided to let him inherit the armor?

The heroes were absolutely dissatisfied that neither the strong Diomedes nor the wise Odysseus chose such a man to be the heir to the armor.

Fortunately, they heard what Patroclus said next.

After learning the purpose of Patroclus' visit, the heroes could no longer sit still.

According to Patroclus and the others, Achilles actually agreed to give his armor to other warriors—?!

For a moment, this made many heroes really see the possibility of wearing a set of magical equipment, and they immediately became excited.
