Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 173 The Downtrodden Queen Percybele

"Brother, are you thinking about other women?"

After hearing Ariadne's inquiry, Luo Yin came back to his senses and said.

"I'm thinking about my fiancée. She may be in a lot of trouble recently. Ariadne, after we arrive in Athens, you will return to your hometown with the merchant ship heading to Colchis. I plan to help me 's fiancée.

"Is that woman more important to my brother than me?"

"Antigone is my fiancée, and unlike you who claims to be my sister, she is really my cousin."

After Luo Yin finished speaking, he saw a cold look full of murderous intent in Ariadne's eyes.

After the two looked at each other, Ariadne lowered her head and spoke softly.

"For me, my brother is more important than my hometown. Now that I have found my brother, of course I want to be with him. He must take me with him wherever he goes."

After saying that, Ariadne hugged Luo Yin's neck from behind and lay on Luo Yin's back like a sloth.

Feeling Ariadne's attachment to him, Luo Yin nodded and said.

"Then you stay with me for now!"

As a coastal city-state, the city of Athens was able to become the most powerful city-state in Greece in this era because its port was the largest port and trading port area in this era.

In the port trading area of ​​the city of Athens, grain merchants, slave merchants and other merchants could be seen everywhere.

Luo Yin and Ariadne arrived at the port of Athens on a merchant ship, and they held hands in the trading area of ​​the port to look for merchants selling carriages.

When passing by a slave merchant's stall, Luo Yin couldn't help but stop.

Because Luo Yin's eyes saw that among the slave women sold by the slave merchant, there was a slave woman who was about thirty years old and as beautiful as a goddess.

Although she wore tattered clothes like a beggar and her long black hair was spread freely, she still had the noble temperament of a queen.

Seeing that Luo Yin's eyes were attracted by his goods, the slave merchant immediately spoke to Luo Yin enthusiastically.

"Guest, you are really discerning. This woman is not an ordinary slave. She is Queen Hypercybele of Lemnos Island. She was recently kidnapped by a group of pirates and turned into a slave. If the guest wants to buy her, just give me twenty A bronze tripod can be a deal."

"Are you blind?"

After the slave merchant finished speaking, Ariadne immediately said angrily.

"My brother already has the best woman, he doesn't need other women at all."

After saying that, Ariadne wanted to pull Luo Yin away.

But Luo Yin stood motionless.

Ariadne looked at Luo Yin in disbelief and asked.

"Brother - do you really have a crush on this human woman?"

Luo Yin shook his head, but continued to look at Xu Percy.

Hypercybele was originally the daughter of King Thoas of Lemnos.

On their adventure to capture the Golden Fleece in the Colchis region, the Argonauts came to the island of Lemnos and killed all the men on the island, turning the women on the island into their slaves. Only King Thoas had his daughter. Escape from Lemnos Island with the help of Hypercybele.

As the most valuable princess, Hypercybele became the trophy of Yin Asong, the leader of the Argonauts.

The Argonauts continued their journey to the Golden Fleece after a month-long sowing work on the island of Lemnos, and after impregnating the young women of Lemnos with their children.

The women of Lemnos, who had experienced hardship, were left alone to raise the children forced by the Argonauts to give birth to them.

Xu Percy Belle succeeded her father's throne and became the queen, and gave birth to Yin Asong's child.

During the Trojan War, Oyunaos, the king of Lemnos Island who transported food and grass to the Greek coalition forces, was the son of Hypercybele for Yin Asong.

The Kingdom of Lemnos was originally a city-state strong enough to protect itself.

After all the men on Lemnos Island were killed by the Argonauts, they forced the women on the island to give birth to a son who was only about ten years old. As a result, Lemnos Island was not even strong enough to fight against the pirates. This is what happened to Queen Hyper The tragedy of Cybele being hijacked by pirates.

In the original fate track, Hypercybele, who became a slave, would be bought back by King Nemean to take care of his son.

During the First Thebes War, the coalition forces led by the Seven Heroes met Hypercybele in the forest. They worshiped the beautiful and noble Hypercybele as the goddess of the forest, and prayed to Hypercybele to point them to water sources.

Hypercybele took the seven heroes to find the source of water, but because he did not keep King Nemean's son with him, King Nemean's son was eaten by a giant snake.

In order to punish Hypercyberle, Queen Nemean wanted to kill Hypercyberle. Fortunately, Hypercyberle's son found her and rescued her.

"I want to buy her!"

When Luo Yin came back to his senses, he saw a young king wearing a golden robe and a crown, leading a group of soldiers to the slave merchant's stall, pointing at Hypercybele with his right hand and saying.

"Boss! I want to buy a woman of noble status to raise my son. This woman meets my requirements. You can give me the price."

"This woman is Hypercybele, Queen of Lemnos Island. Her value is twenty bronze tripods."

Seeing the young king frown, the slave merchant said with a smile.

"Although she is no longer young, she is still noble and beautiful, and she still has the status of a queen. Buying her back will not only allow her to serve you and your family, but you can also enjoy her noble and beautiful body and let her give birth to children for you."

After listening to the slave merchant's words, the young king nodded and said.

"I really want to buy her! But a bronze tripod is worth twelve oxen, and twenty bronze tripods are worth 240 oxen. If Xu Percy was ten years younger, I could accept it. The price of twenty bronze tripods. Considering that Xu Percy is about thirty years old, I can only afford fifteen bronze tripods to buy her."

Fifteen bronze tripods were worth one hundred and eighty cattle, a value that slave traders could barely accept.

Seeing Luo Yin still staring at Percy Bailey, the slave merchant came to Luo Yin and said.

"Guest! Because you first like Percy Bysshe, as long as you bid higher, I will sell Percy Bysshe to you."

Luo Yin nodded, then looked at Ariadne and said.

"Ariadne, give me your dagger."

Ariadne did not hesitate to take out the dagger she used to commit suicide, handed it to Luo Yin and said.

"Brother! This is the divine sword that Theseus used to kill the Minotaur. Because I imbued the sword with magic, this divine sword has the power to kill the divine beast. If my brother wants to use this divine sword as a Weapon, I will give magic to the sword again——"

Before Ariadne finished speaking, Luo Yin handed the dagger to the slave merchant.

"Boss! You can use this dagger to exchange for thirty - or even fifty bronze tripods from the wealthy king. I will use this dagger to buy Hypercybele and a carriage."

"elder brother--"

Before the slave merchant could agree, Ariadne stood in front of Luo Yin and said.

"Even if my brother only trades this divine sword for a carriage, I won't have any objections. Because everything I own belongs to my brother, and he can dispose of my property as he pleases. But my brother wants to use my property to buy other women—— I don’t agree! I don’t agree!”
