Chapter 1086: It's a Good Thing
In the palace of Argos, King Keps trotted all the way to the hall, depressed for a few days, unable to sleep at night for tea and dinner, the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old, and there was no heroism before.
Today is the last day of the ten-day period, and if the princess is not handed over, the sea monster Setus will destroy the entire city-state, and there will be no survivors of tens of thousands of people in the city.
Outside the palace, nearly 10,000 people surrounded it, and it was possible to snatch the princess for the sacrificial ceremony at any time.
No matter what happens in this matter, the royal family will lose its majesty, and there will be no longer the appeal and cohesion it used to be.
The queen has changed from a beautiful woman to a decrepit old man, the future of the princess is uncertain, and the ruling power is in turmoil......
The series of bad news made Kappus regret it incomparably, he knew that this was the case, he should not have spoken recklessly on the spot, otherwise he would not have fallen into such a miserable situation.
Fortunately, there was still room for redemption, and the brave soldiers he entrusted with the important task brought back a way to repel the sea monster from the side of the River Styx.
In front of the hall, Kapps put away his sad face and replaced it with a complex face that met the hero.
There is self-blame, there is feeling, shame, excitement, and so on.
Of course, in terms of emotional color, compared to the time of Changban Slope, Uncle Liu Huang rushed out to meet Zilong, fell three buttocks along the way, and finally threw his son a lot worse.
This is also something that can't be helped, Uncle Liu Huang is a thick black genius, only one is produced in a thousand years, and the gap between Kepus and him is equivalent to that of a shoe seller and a shoe buyer, not a person all the way.
"Dragu, thank you for your hard work, you must have eaten during this time...... Ate ......"
Kerps rushed into the hall, trying not to shake off his shoes, squeezing his eyes without squeezing out tears, and when he was at a loss, he saw Dragu with oil on his face, and then at the fat-headed and big-eared soldiers behind him, he was even more overwhelmed.
How much hardship do you have to endure to become fat like this?
"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have successfully returned from the Styx."
Dragu knelt on one knee and pressed his knee against the fat on his stomach, tears running across his face, splashing oil when he landed.
"Uh......"
Keps scratched his scumbag, looked at the fat balls that couldn't hold the armor, and felt that he was the hardest one.
His face was strange, and he said with difficulty: "Dragu, and all the warriors, you have worked hard during this time. β
"Your Majesty is serious, it is right for a soldier to serve the country, we don't work hard!"
"That's right, we don't work hard!"
ββ¦β¦β
Kerps was speechless, just talking about the scene, but he actually took it seriously.
In my heart, everyone can see that these people eat and drink well, sleep well, and are not hard at all.
In this situation, the prepared speech was useless, and Keps was not in the mood to say it, so he coughed lightly and said bluntly: "Dragu, don't say much polite words, what is the way to defeat the sea monster, hurry up and say it." β
"In the last three days, the people outside the city have gathered more and more, and as you can see, they may rush in at any time and take Andromeda by force."
"Your Majesty don't worry, we found the witch on the banks of the River Styx and asked for a way to defeat the sea monster."
"At the edge of the underworld lives the Medusa the gorgon, whose eyes can petrify all the flesh in the world and can easily kill the sea monster. β
Kerps looked at Dragu stunned: "So, you're coming back after asking?" β
"Of course not, we crossed the River Styx, reached the Gorgon's lair, and captured Medusa alive."
Speaking of this, Dragu was very ashamed, he was a warrior who was willing to die generously for honor, and taking the honor has always been his most shameless behavior.
But to tell you the truth, do you want to have a face?
Kerps didn't pay attention to Dragu's complicated face, and was overjoyed: "Where is the gorgon, take her to the waterfront altar quickly, it's too late." β
"Your Majesty, Medusa, she ......"
Dragu wiped the oil from his head and whispered, "Medusa was brought out of the underworld by the half-human, half-god Perseus on a Pegasus, and is currently ...... He is still on his way to Argos. β
Kerps: ?_?
Why can't I understand that?
"Your Majesty, what Captain Dragu meant was that Perseus was one step ahead on the Pegasus, so he came relatively late."
Russell, who fell in the corner, couldn't help but interject, Dragu spoke indistinctly, there was no logic at all, and the king would be hell if he could understand it.
"Oh......"
Choppers looked at Russell in a daze, as if he understood, but he wasn't quite sure.
Russell didn't care about this, and got up: "Your Majesty, I'm Perseus's eldest brother, named Russell, you should have investigated our family, so I won't introduce myself anymore." β
"No, I haven't looked into it...... I was just a little curious, so I asked someone. β
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, human nature is inevitable, and I won't care about this."
Russell casually brought it and got to the point: "Regarding the announcement made by His Majesty before, whoever repels the sea monster will marry the princess to him, this one still counts, right?" β
"What, you want to marry Andromeda?"
"No, it's Perseus, he was the one who defeated Medusa, and he was the one who brought Medusa back, and everything has nothing to do with me."
"Perseus, I remember him ......"
Remembering that on the day of the banquet, Perseus was concave in front of Hades, and Kerps's facial features were uncontrollably screwed together.
To tell the truth, he himself refused, a watery cabbage, and he didn't want her to be arched by a stupid pig.
Russell saw through what Keps was thinking at a glance, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, Perseus is handsome and well-built, and he is also a half-human and half-god, and the son of Zeus is extremely noble in blood, and for this alone, the princess is already high with him." β
"But ......"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Perseus is different from his father Zeus, his willingness to go on an adventure in the Styx for the princess, and his willingness to anger Hades at the banquet show his heart for the princess, and it is by no means just fun."
"But ......"
"Hmph, it's written clearly in black and white, if Your Majesty dares to repent, I'm going to be mad!"
ββ¦β¦β
Kepuz choked and didn't understand what it meant to be furious.
At this time, Dragul, who was kneeling on the ground, struggled to get up, leaned into Kepuse's ear and whispered BB about what Russell had done along the way.
Hearing Russell beat the three-headed dog of hell with a fat beating, so that he fled with his tail between his legs, and then heard Russell freely entering and leaving the underworld and the world, he suddenly changed his previous state and became smiling like a flower.
"That's right, Andromeda can marry Perseus, it's indeed a high climb."
Seeing the speed of Keps's instigation, Russell also showed a smile on his face: "Your Majesty is serious, men and women are equal, and their identities are floating clouds, how can you say that you are climbing high." β
"Hehe......"
Kerps didn't know how to answer, so he could only laugh.
"Your Majesty, in fact, Perseus marrying the princess is a good thing for the royal family of Argos."
Russell skillfully grabbed Kepps's shoulder, and analyzed it in a kind tone of the two brothers: "Perseus was raised by a fisherman since he was a child, and he did not receive a serious education, nor did he see much complexity in people's hearts, so he was a little naΓ―ve. β
"Therefore, he is not really stupid, but he is pure-minded and does not understand human feelings."
"But you can't blame him, after all, poverty is excusable, you say?"
"Ha, ha, ha......"
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of Perseus's simplicity of mind that I said that it is a good thing for the royal family for the princess to marry him."
Russell stood in Krps's point of view, and flickered seriously: "Your Majesty, do you think, with your body, how many years can you live?" After a hundred years, with one leg kicked, who should the country entrust to? β
Kerps: (?'?β²?)
If you can't speak, you won't be able to say a few words, if it weren't for the whole country combined, I would definitely turn against you.
"Your Majesty, a wise royal son-in-law will snatch power, but Perseus will not, after His Majesty dies, only the princess has the ability to govern the country, and when the princess is old, the prince should succeed to the throne."
Russell's eyes widened, with an expression of "You have made a lot of money: "The power of the royal family is in the hands of your family, and you have earned a god bloodline for nothing, isn't it a good thing?" β
"Yes, that makes sense!"
Kepus squeezed his eyes, and when Russell said this, Perseus was really a son-in-law who couldn't be found with a lantern.
"It makes sense, you also saw it that day, dozens of noblewomen of high-ranking officials circled around Perseus, oh, the queen also drooled at that time!"
"This ...... There should be none. β
"Yes, a lot of people saw it with their own eyes."
Russell frowned slightly: "I know Your Majesty, you love face, but in this kind of matter, I will never lie." β
ββ¦β¦β
Kappuz shut up, not wanting to talk to Russell anymore.
In the corner of the hall, Ai'e looked angry and funny, and saw Russell play with Keps in the palm of his hand, leading his mind to play it around, and couldn't help but feel sad for Kerpuse.
After a few moments, she began to feel sorry for herself again, as if she was not much different from Kerps.
fluttering!!
Outside the hall, the sound of wings flapping came from far and near, and suddenly there was a loud sound of falling objects in the air, which was the whistling of horses.
"Your Majesty, your son-in-law is back, and the princess is saved."
After Russell finished speaking, he strode out of the hall, and Keps quickly followed.
In the hall, eight meat buns were beaming, followed by Dragu.
Ai'e walked at the end, Perseus returned safely, the trip had a beginning and an end, and the big stone in my heart could finally be put down.
Outside the hall, the black Pegasus carried Medusa, and Medusa carried Perseus, and the latter two had no, except for Pegasus lying on the ground foaming at the mouth and occasionally pumping the horse's hooves.
"Hey, big brother, why did you come back first?"
Seeing Russell and the others, Perseus was extremely surprised, and his already confused head moved, and he was even more confused.
"You are to blame for this."
Russell pointed to the ground angrily: "I asked you to carry Medusa to help Tenma lighten weight, but you were lazy and unwilling, so we overtook you." β
"I see!"
It dawned on Perseus that as soon as Russell explained, he understood.
ββ¦β¦β
Kerps covered his face, feeling a little sorry for his daughter, and now there was no other way but to ask her to like the silly boy.
"Big brother, I don't think the king likes me very much."
Perseus whispered that a person with a pure heart may not understand human affairs, but he is the best at perceiving the likes and dislikes of others.
For example, Kerps, such as Russell, when he first came to this world, was easily noticed by Perseus.
"It's okay, he just thinks you're stupid."
"Big brother, how can I become smarter?"
"Easy!"
Russell said that it was a trivial matter: "Perseus, what do you want to eat tonight, there is only one thing, and you will not hesitate to be greedy." β
"This ......"
Perseus immediately frowned and thought about it, he had eaten Russell's glowing cuisine, he wanted to eat too much, and it was really difficult for him to choose only one.
"Don't move, that's it, keep this expression all the time, you're smart."
