Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

Having said this, Paris paused slightly.

Everyone felt stunned and shocked.

Paris certainly did not do this to excuse Night, but rather - if it was proven that it was Odysseus, not Griffith, who committed the murder.

Then doesn't his act of actively helping Odysseus to stop the crime seem to be covering up for Odysseus?

"Please don't speak nonsense, my brother. I, Laodice, never said that Griffith was lying." At this moment, Laodice spoke directly, and then she entered the hall directly from the back with a group of beautiful girls.

When I saw several royal girls, even Helen came here.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by these beautiful scenery.

Laodick: "I mentioned Odysseus' name only because I didn't want Troy to offend the powerful and noble hero Griffith because of a few scums. It was an emergency measure to save the royal family's face, but it doesn't mean that Odysseus appeared in the palace at that time."

"It is already shocking that a Greek hero could sneak into Troy. If the defense of the palace is so weak that it can be easily spied on, then it is too much of an underestimation of the power of our royal family! Brother Paris, do you still not trust the strict patrols and guards of our palace?"

Paris: !!!

Of course he couldn't say that.

Didn’t you see that the old king’s face turned dark?

Troy had already lost face because of Odysseus's incident. If even the core area of ​​the heavily guarded palace could be freely accessed by enemy heroes, then the next moment the enemy might send an assassin to appear at the king's bedside.

That would be a shameful thing.

There was no way Priam would admit this, admit that their defenses were weak.

Otherwise, all of Greece would underestimate Troy's defenses, and everyone, human or ghost, would want to take a look around the palace.

Although, but――

Did Paris see that the old king was unhappy? Yes, he did.

But the character of Paris is that he is impulsive, headstrong and brainless. Faced with the temptation of three goddesses, he chose the most useless beauty, when he could have conquered Helen with the other two.

Can you expect a person like this to stay calm at the critical moment?

Paris, who was in a state of panic, especially when he saw Helen, whose face was pale because of her previous guilt behind Laodice, looked like he was too worried about Griffith's safety.

Instantly, green light shone above Paris' head and he felt even greener!

Intense jealousy made Paris grit his teeth and continue: "Then how do you explain that Odysseus showed up at night and stole the statue of Athena? Don't you think it's too coincidental?"

"Of course it's just a coincidence - Paris. Use your underdeveloped cerebellum to think carefully. Can Odysseus swing a sharp air blade that can cut through high walls and cut the earth?"

"Although he is quite powerful, he doesn't have the means to attack so fiercely." Laodik's words reminded the heroes and hit the nail on the head.

Each hero has his or her own strengths and weaknesses.

However, Odysseus's basic strength and quality are still solid, and he is a mediocre Greek hero.

A hexagonal warrior who is better than the best - not as good as Achilles, Hercules, or even Diomedes, but more than enough to be better than the worst.

Good at a little bit of everything but master of nothing, among the many distinctive Greek heroes, his biggest characteristic is that he has no characteristics.

It was impossible for him to launch such a sharp slash that was like sword energy.

If you say that this was done by Griffith, people will be more convinced.

After all, he was the man who was so proficient in martial arts that he could create a light cannon with a sword with his bare hands. Wouldn't it be easier for him to just use a flying slash?

"Enough...!!" Old King Priam looked at Paris who still wanted to argue with Laodice and spoke angrily.

It was the first time he discovered that his favorite youngest son could be as stupid as a pig.

Helen breathed a sigh of relief. If the two continued to argue.

It will always make people discuss whether the hero is suspected of betrayal, which is somewhat disadvantageous to the hero.

She would be uneasy if Lord Griffith was suspected because of her problem.

But King Priam's next words made her nervous and confused.

"Laodice is right. Odysseus cannot appear in the palace. With his ability, he cannot break through the palace's strict security. But..."

At this moment, Odysseus, who was tied and kneeling below, said: …

Ah, yes, that's right!

He would certainly not admit that it felt easy for him to sneak into the palace, as if there was no difficulty at all.

"It's really strange that no one in Troy saw Odysseus and his companions after such a long journey... Hero Griffith! I don't want to doubt your noble character, but as a king, I need to give the people an explanation. Can you prove your innocence with your actions?"

Priam changed the subject and finally directed his attack at Ye.

Even this suspicion is groundless. It seems to be a rebuke to Paris, but in fact it seems to be determined that there is suspicion on Griffith.

It is impossible to say that he has no hatred for Ye.

After all, so many of his sons were killed during the day, and he was also slapped in the face.

Coupled with his preference for his youngest son Paris and his unwillingness to acknowledge Odysseus's strength and Troy's incompetence, the two Greek heroes almost escaped from Troy with such an obvious statue.

Priam now directed all suspicion towards Griffith and asked him to prove himself.

When Helen heard this, she became anxious!

No, it’s not that no one saw me. I clearly…

Volume 2: Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 200: Aren't you the best at diverting conflicts? Why not do it?

I saw it—everything!

Helen wanted to stand up at this time, but her legs were trembling. She felt fear about the future and the unknown.

She said she saw it...then why didn't she report it? It's obvious that there is something wrong with her.

Once you admit this, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.

Troy will not let her go, and no one can save themselves.

But if I say I didn’t see it, would I allow these people to slander the heroes in my hearts and slander my own light?

When she thought of the daytime, when she was so desperate, Griffith appeared in front of her. His figure was as radiant as the sun god, illuminating the future and dispelling the haze. He was as beautiful as Asmita and as calm and composed as Cui Sad.

There was also a desirable and warm embrace. Thinking of this, although she was still trembling, Helen gritted her teeth and was about to stand up.

But suddenly he was grabbed by a hand, it was Laodick.

The other party looked at him with complicated eyes, then shook his head and motioned him to look in the direction of the night.

At this time, Ye is also looking at this side - the world

Although I didn't say anything.

But that look seemed to speak, telling them to relax.

At one glance, Helen felt she was seen through.

The other party knows everything――!

A strong intuition surged into Helen's heart.

But even so, Griffith still let Laodick stop Helen from standing up.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to prove myself?" Ye looked up at Priam.

His emotions were very calm, but they were like the wrath of Poseidon, the calm before the storm.

That calmness and composure made Priam feel a little uneasy, but he tried to calm himself down.

Now rumors point to Griffith as Odysseus's accomplice in stealing the statue.

Having already betrayed Greece, if he betrays Troy, there will be no place for this man in the entire Greek world.

So, as the king of Greece, I have nothing to fear.

Instead, the other party should be in awe of him.

Even if he was innocent, all the humiliation of being suspected at this moment was the price he deserved for not giving himself face during the day! ! Ling

Although, but... thinking of this――

But Priam, who was afraid of that power and didn't want to do anything too extreme, said: "Well, how about this! If you execute the hero Odysseus in the central square in front of all the Trojans, I don't think anyone will doubt your position anymore! Griffith!"

Finally, the old king, who was frightened by that calm gaze, made such a request.

This was definitely not what he really meant!! He just felt that this method was enough to prove the other party's innocence.

After all, unlike the Greek heroes Griffith had killed, Odysseus' life was more valuable than any of the previous heroes.

There was no way that Greece would give up on a hero as strong and wise as Odysseus because of the undercover incident.

One Helen is not worth exchanging the life of a rare hero like Odysseus.

On the other side, Odysseus' face turned pale when he heard the final verdict.

But Odysseus, who had basically guessed his own ending, did not look embarrassed or panicked.

It would be a lie to say that you are not afraid. No one can face death and remain indifferent.

But he had tried his best, and before coming here he had prepared himself for the possibility of death.

The only thing that he found unacceptable was probably that he was about to succeed, but was betrayed by the statue at the critical moment and failed.

Just one step away! Just one step away, and he could leave the high wall and meet up with Ajax the Great. Under his protection, the group successfully evacuated Troy.

When Ye looked at Odysseus, Odysseus still didn't say anything.

Even if they all knew that if they told the truth now, that Odysseus had indeed been to the palace, there was a high probability that his life could not be saved.

Priam had no intention of exchanging it for money, but was prepared to take his life.

But this is understandable, after all, he is Odysseus, who is known as the Greek think tank.

Wouldn't it be creating trouble for ourselves if we let such a person who can dominate the battlefield go back?

The original Troy was destroyed because of this man. Even though Priam could not see such a distant future, he knew that Odysseus's excellence was not in his military strength, but in his brains, which other heroes did not have.

The difficulty of fighting a Greece with brains and a Greece without brains is completely different, so any hero being captured is a deal, but Odysseus, the enemy's brain, must die!

but--

Even though I know there is a high probability that I will not be let off, what about the small probability?

Everyone has an instinctive desire to survive. Odysseus could have betrayed Ye or even Helen here to divert the conflict...

This is what he is best at.

Even though this act of betrayal would make one despised, there was still a glimmer of hope for survival.

At this moment, Odysseus seemed to have forgotten about this matter, but for a man with a strong desire to survive, how could he forget such crucial information?

Ye glanced at Odysseus, who lowered his head and seemed to have given up: "Okay!"

The scene changes and time fast-forwards to the central square of Troy, where the platform for executing the hero Odysseus has already been built.

The number of Trojans who rushed over after hearing the news was so numerous that it would not be an exaggeration to say that there was a huge crowd.

Executing a hero, and not a lesser-known hero, but the famous Odysseus.

There were naturally a lot of people watching...

"Let's begin, Griffith." Priam said while sitting on the king's carriage.

There are many heroes around.

Odysseus was already tied up on a platform in the center of the square.

Ye said nothing. At this moment, he was holding Artemis the fawn in his arms. Artemis was curled up in his arms, enjoying this rare warmth, and they could do whatever position was comfortable for them.

She didn't care about Odysseus or not. It didn't matter what decision Ye made. At this moment, Artemis felt that Priam's voice that interrupted this warm moment was a bit annoying.

The Moon Goddess made a mental note of this annoying old king.

On the other side, Ye put Artemis down temporarily, leaving the warm embrace, causing the little deer to jump around a few times in dissatisfaction, but Ye himself had already walked onto a platform.

He did not take action, but asked Odysseus a question.

"Why don't you tell me about your meeting with me..."

"You...what are you talking about? I have never met you, Hero Griffith!"

For the first time, Odysseus looked up in surprise. He quickly opened his mouth to refute, fearing that their conversation might be overheard by others.

Unlike himself who was doomed to die anyway, he was not the kind of person who could not recognize the situation. He was already going to die, not to mention making any contribution to Greece, but Odysseus might have made a right decision for the first time in his life.
