The so-called Spartan education was that children were incorporated into the team to live a collective military life from the age of seven. They were required to be absolutely obedient to the leader, and they were required to strengthen their courage, physical strength, and cruelty. They practiced running, throwing the dispus, boxing, fencing, and fighting. In order to train the children's obedience and patience, they were whipped once a year during the festival.
At the age of twelve, they joined the youth team and led a harsher life. They were bald and barefoot. They only wore a coat in winter and summer. They usually had little food, but they were encouraged to steal food outside to eat. He joined the army at the age of 20 and got married at the age of 30. He could not retire and rarely lived with his wife. He spent more than half of his life in the military camp. When he was 60, he retired and became a reserve soldier.
Of course, this was a long story. The most difficult training for me was to do the horse stance for two hours every morning, run along the beach for an hour, and throw the dispels for two hours. In the afternoon, little Ajax taught me the basics of archery, which was much easier. Other than my weak arm, my learning ability was still very strong. Austin taught me to write and play the piano, of course, the seven-stringed instrument. At night, Achilles asked me to do carpentry, cutting trees, digging trees, and piling. He was a slave.
In the first lesson, I was thrown fifty times by Great Ajax. He said that I was unsteady and unsteady, like a woman who had not eaten. The soldiers on the training ground held back their laughter until their stomachs hurt. After that, I ran along the beach while the other soldiers practiced killing their enemies with swords and spears. I was quite unconvinced, so I asked Great Ajax for help. I shouted that it was hard to pronounce, so I simply omitted a few words. When I called out Great Ajax, I fell down. Half of the soldiers on the training ground raised their hands and said that they wanted to go to the toilet. They must have been suffocated.
Da Ai looked at me hatefully for a minute. In the end, he compromised under my innocent gaze and accepted the name. He said weakly,"Your basic skills are not enough. You have to start from the most basic. After you have finished your basic skills, you can practice with them.”
I replied with an 'oh', turned around and obediently ran along the beach. Big Ai had stipulated that I had to return before the hourglass ran out. I lay in front of the hourglass and looked at it for a long time. It was an ordinary glass hourglass with an ugly bronze bird on it."How long does it take to finish it once?”
Da Ai couldn't answer clearly either. He pointed at the sun in the sky and said,""After one leak, the sun will go there. Before that, we must return.”
I estimated that it would be around ten o'clock. So, he turned around and started to run cross-country. Big Ai's warning voice came from behind him." Don't slack off. I can tell."”
I don't know the word lazy, but I can use this opportunity to go out and take a look. I've been here for so long and have been holed up here. It's uncomfortable.
They were running in the opposite direction of the Greek camp, and they could see the walls of Troy along the way.
Running along the beach was not a good job. The sand was loose and soft, and it was always difficult to step on. I had a high requirement for my leg strength, and my sense of balance had to play a mediating role. I fell a few times, and my arm was scratched by shells and rocks. It was quite useless. I got up and continued to chase after the waves. The fine waves playfully swam and shattered by my feet, and the fresh sea breeze caressed my face.
Just like Austin said, I accepted fate, not by surrendering, but by fighting, fighting for myself, for life. In the past, during peaceful times, my battlefield was only virtual and unreal, and I had to use all my strength to sense and fight. But now, my battlefield had become real. Here, I would personally wield my sword and spear to earn a sky for myself to survive.
With that thought, the gloominess in my heart slowly dissipated. I climbed over a pile of rocks and left the coastline, running towards land.
I was immersed in the clean and fresh air and didn't notice the white catkins floating around me. As I moved forward, more and more of them gathered. I reached out to catch them and saw that they were reeds, white and beautiful reeds. I stopped in surprise and looked at the swamp below me. The moist algae had unknowingly soaked my Greek robe. I looked up and suddenly realized that there was a snow-white world in the distance that seemed endless. Thousands of reeds swayed in the wind. Along with the rustling wind, countless catkins flew into the sky.
With a restless heart, I approached the white world step by step. So many, so many white fairies were dancing around me, dazzling my eyes. When I woke up, I realized that I had already arrived at the depths of the reeds. Half of my body was soaked in the water, and I could clearly see fish swimming in the water. All kinds of aquatic creatures were swimming freely under my eyes. Was I dreaming? Did I come to heaven? It was too unbelievable. There were reeds here!
I was so happy that I laughed out loud. I buried my head in the water and swam in the reed pond. I floated on the surface of the water and looked at the sky above me. It was so clean that there was not a single cloud. I quietly closed my eyes and completely stretched my limbs. Only at this time did I truly accept this world willingly.
Later on, I often thought that even though I didn't meet him at the first moment, he had already predicted his arrival. This reed pond connected him and me in countless ways. We were far away, but we slowly approached each other step by step. We didn't know when God arranged for us to meet, but he gave us the same place, the same heaven and earth, and cultivated the same feelings.
After soaking in the reed pond for a while, I reluctantly got up and walked out. I stood outside and opened my arms, wanting to hug it and bring it back. However, I could only regretfully hold my hands together and shout at them,"I'll be back. Wait for me!!”
The echoes reverberated and disappeared into the void. I still couldn't bear to part with it, turning back three times with every step I took.
On the way back, I dived into the sea to fish for some seaweed. I pulled a few huge sea crabs and wrapped them with seaweed to bring them back. Then, I took off my blouse and wrapped a lot of shells. Unfortunately, I didn't know how to use a harpoon. Otherwise, I could catch some fish. I've decided that today's lunch will be a seafood feast!
Wahaha!
My smug laughter was blown away by the sea breeze. The result of this class was that I was late and was punished to help the soldiers dig holes for the fortifications. Naturally, lunch was delayed. When I finished my work and went back to take a look, my dear seaweed and crab shells had long disappeared. They were too inhumane. I found Da Ai and asked, but he stammered for a long time and said that there were no ingredients for lunch at noon. Then, when I swallowed my saliva and asked him if he had more, he lowered his head even lower and said,"Xiao Ai went to the barracks for lunch at noon and ate everything.”
5555~~~ I want to cry but no tears. How can this be? My dear seafood feast, the lunch that I painstakingly dug and filled in the sand to earn, just flew away with wings. Where is the justice? Where is the justice?
Then, my lunch was dry cheese and biscuits, and I swallowed them half to death. Big Ai, don't think that I won't take revenge on you just because you're honest and honest. You better be careful too. Sigh, so we're here in Greece to take revenge?
I learned archery in the afternoon. There was nothing much to say. Xiao E kept praising me for being smart and being able to draw inferences from one instance. I forgot to tell everyone that I joined the archery club in high school. We still know the basic postures. Although the archery postures in ancient Greece were a little different, the most difficult part was the posture of holding the arrow in both hands when shooting. Haha, but I'm really smart!
In the afternoon, I learned how to write. Austin explained it easily. As for the rhythm of poetry, he said that I should wait until I understood the vocabulary a little before starting. I shouldn't be too impatient. Learning to play the piano was even easier, because he didn't teach me at all. He took two zither and taught me how to distinguish them. One was a Crete zither, and the other was a seven-stringed zither. He talked about the difference between music and singing, and I listened like I was in a fog. I knew everything else, but I didn't know anything about music. When Pierre taught me how to play the piano for two months, I still played the old cow howling and the Uraurat was ugly. This was the only thing he didn't teach me.
Then Austin told me about the origin of the harp. He said that shortly after Zeus's messenger and his son Hermes were born, he secretly ran out of his swaddling clothes and came to Thessalia to steal the cattle that his brother Apollo was herding. Fifty of the fattest and strongest cattle. Think about it, boss, do you think a baby of a few months old can drive the cattle? Reality proved that God's son was a cow!
Hermes drove the stolen cows to Pylos and hid them. He killed two of them and roasted them for the twelve gods of Olympus. After that, he ate one for himself. Therefore, Hermes was also the thief's guardian. After hiding the rest of the cows, he returned to the cave where he was raised in Kulene. He saw a turtle at the entrance of the cave and killed it.(What a sin. He killed when he was only a little bit old. What kind of father is Zeus? It's fine if he steals, but you, you, sigh, child, you still need to be educated from an early age.)-，-），He tied three cow intestines to a turtle shell and created the world's first harp. This was how geniuses were born!）。
Later, Apollo found out through divination that Hermes had stolen his herd of cattle. When he found him, the little wimp refused to admit it and tried his best to deny it. However, our comrade Apollo was suddenly fascinated by a harp at the entrance of the cave, so he changed his mind and decided to exchange the rest of the cattle for the harp. Therefore, Apollo used a harp as well as a flute. Later, he added four more strings, turning the three-stringed harp into a seven-stringed one.
Who doesn't know how to listen to a story, especially in front of a first-class beauty? I lay on the table and drooled as I listened to Austin's story.
This round was also easily passed, but Achilles was not so easy. He did not treat me as a human. Do you think I, a weak and weak youth, can carry an axe? Do you think I can lift a big tree? But, but Achilles was impartial, and he would put justice above family. Therefore, all protests were rejected, and human rights had no power in front of him!
I cut down trees and dug up trees until midnight before dragging my body back to the barracks. I had just climbed up the bed when Achilles kicked me down." It stinks. Go take a shower!”
How am I supposed to take a shower in the middle of the night? If I were to run to the other side of the sea to take a bath, the soldiers on patrol would probably kill me as a spy. I had no choice but to come to Achilles's follower half-dead. Only now did I know that Antirocs was Achilles 'friend, the son of the old King Nestus, and the future prince of Pylos. To think that I had even ordered him around as a servant for several days. Look at my eyesight.
He dragged his tired body and shouted from side to side for a long time."Monemen ~~ Monemen ~~ Achilles wants to take a bath. He wants you to get up and boil water for him."”
Momenem crawled out sleepily, looked at the sky, and asked,""Didn't Master just wash it?"
I cleared my throat and pretended to be shy."This, that, it's dirty again.”
Momenem was an experienced man. When he heard that, he looked me up and down and understood. It was as if that was really the case. As expected, he turned around and obediently went to boil the bathwater.
Might is Right was applied this way! Hehe, so I returned to the tent, crossed my legs and ate grapes while waiting for the bath water.
"How are you feeling today?" Achilles 'clear voice was like a spring that suddenly gushed out in the dark night, drenching my heart and making me fall to the ground." Pah!”
"It hurts!"
The back of his head probably fell out. Achilles, weren't you asleep?
He quickly got up and rubbed his head."It's alright, it's alright."
"Come here." Although I couldn't see his face clearly, the irresistible majesty in his voice made me immediately follow the rules and come to the bed.
Achilles reached out to pull me, and I had no choice but to squat down. When a strong masculine aura suddenly appeared, I instinctively looked back. The back of my head was grabbed, and my four lips were pressed together. He twisted and sucked, opening my teeth and sticking his tongue in. My head felt dizzy, and my body immediately reacted. A small ball of fire spread from my lower abdomen and burned. Damn it! Where did he learn his kissing skills? He was so gentle, so clingy, and so lascivious. He was teasing and sucking me step by step. I almost couldn't breathe. More importantly, I couldn't control myself.
I pulled him away and he fell to the ground. Achilles was silent and looked at me quietly. I took a deep breath and cooled my mind." Well, I'm sweating all over and smelly. I'll go and see if Momenem has finished boiling the water.”
Achilles didn't answer. I didn't know what he had discovered. I didn't ask anything about suddenly inviting Daai and the others to teach me. I couldn't escape from what I should discover. As long as I didn't expose him, this life would be more comfortable for me."Who are you, and where is Patroclus?”
I think I will escape. At that time, I can legitimately escape my responsibility and mission.
When I returned from my shower, Achilles was already fast asleep. I couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. It seemed that I had to discuss it as soon as possible and sleep separately. Otherwise, something would happen sooner or later. Although I didn't think much of it as a man, I always felt awkward when I was in love with someone I didn't love.
The days went on peacefully. From time to time, the city of Troy would open its gates to harass them, then quickly close the gates and withdraw its troops. The greeks were focused on building fortifications, so it was still okay for them to deal with them a little. After half a month, they were tied, neither losing nor winning.
However, as the Greek camp's fortifications were completed, a great battle gradually surfaced, and it was imminent.
Agamemnon didn't seem to be in a hurry to send troops, and the other party was also probing the situation.
My classes were packed to the brim every day. Due to the needs of my classes, I also built a wall with the soldiers. It was very wide and surrounded all the warships that were pulled out of the sea. Of course, there were also our barracks and a few small watchtowers. The defense works under the wall were even more rigorous. Every inch of land was buried with caltrops, wooden stakes, and swords. It could be said to be a mountain of swords. Even a mouse would probably turn into a hedgehog if it crawled in.
The outer perimeter of the wall and within a few miles of the inner perimeter were all dug with trenches and fortresses.
At the back of the camp, there were dozens of cremators, piled high with firewood. All the dead soldiers were cremated there and scattered into the ocean. Only the ashes of a few commanders and kings were collected or buried.
Every morning when I was training, I would go to the reed pond and float for half an hour. The reed flowers began to wither and die without warning soon after I found them. This reminded me of the soldiers who fell silently on the battlefield. Although they fought hard and struggled before death, what they left behind was only silence and desolation.
I hid in the reeds and endured this grand death ceremony alone. I watched them grow old and wither on the branches in front of me. My heart also swelled, rotted, and melted. Therefore, I was very depressed during this period of time. The teachers could see it. Xiao Ai even brought out his favorite cider and shared it with me, but I still couldn't feel happy. The sound of the zither was sad and low, and I couldn't play the sounds of battle and the beautiful air of spring that Austin had taught me. And Achilles has been having a lot of meetings lately. He's always having meetings with military leaders or the Council of Elders. I haven't even talked to him much.
