I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 128 Departing from the Republic of Philonia

After returning to Pella, the people of the whole city once again cheered for the great achievements made by the king and the army. Antigonus's prestige and support soared again, reaching the same height as the gods.Numerous ships sailing from the port of Pella also sent Antigonus’ exploits to countries around the Aegean Sea and even further unknown countries. Since then, many foreigners know that there is a small unknown kingdom called the Kingdom of Macedonia that conquered All the barbarian tribes on the Oglell Peninsula became the masters of the entire peninsula in one fell swoop.

The ferocity of the Ogrel barbarians is well known far and wide. The surrounding countries have been suffering from barbarian attacks for hundreds of years, but now the Macedonians were able to conquer them with the power of one city, which was enough to shock the monarchs of various countries. They quickly sent out Spies and envoys went deep into the Ogre Peninsula and went to the legendary city of Pella, the birthplace of many exquisite commodities, in an attempt to obtain information about King Antigonus and the battle reports on the Macedonian conquest of the Ogre barbarian tribes.

Antigonus didn't know that he was in the center of the vortex of public opinion. After resting in Pella City for a few days, he hired a ship and went to the Merchant Republic of Feron overseas under the escort of the Royal Navy.

Because Antigonus didn't release any news before setting off, he was just planning to treat it as a long journey after the war to relax, so it didn't take much trouble. He took a few companion cavalrymen and his nominal fiancée Helen to ride together. On the merchant ship chartered in the name of the royal family, under the escort of several triremes, they slowly sailed out of the port of Pella.This was the first time Antigonus took a boat after he came to this world, and it was also the first time he traveled to other civilized countries.

It’s funny to say that after learning that Antigonus was preparing to travel, the philosopher Nicolides directly took the confused Senonides to find Antigonus and persuaded him to bring his fiancée Helen. They left together. After hearing this, Senonides felt bad and objected repeatedly, using the Greek tradition that it was not advisable to meet frequently after an engagement as an excuse.But Nicoclides was determined to let Antigonus and Helen take this opportunity to communicate and bond, and after some debate it was decided.

Antico had no objection to this, he also wanted to get acquainted with his nominal fiancée, otherwise after more than a year after they got married, the two would have no relationship with each other, and it would be embarrassing to get along every day.Although many people's marriages in ancient times started directly at the level of strangers, and gradually fell in love with each other or had no feelings at all, but Antigonus' soul still came from later generations, and he still valued feelings more.

So, Helen, dressed in ancient Greek women's clothing, stood on the deck next to Antigonus. Her face was covered with a thin veil, covering the parts below her eyes. It doesn't mean anything, but from Antigonus's point of view, it's more tempting to see it looming than to see it clearly.

The weather on the Aegean Sea is very good. The warm sun hangs high in the sky, shining the sun on the deck and the sea. The full school of fish sailed freely below the surface of the sea, and when they encountered any movement, they were frightened and fled in all directions.

"It's all so beautiful."

Holding the side of the ship with both hands, Helen couldn't help but sigh as she watched all this, with a faint light shining in her blue eyes, "When the book describes the scenery of the Aegean Sea, almost all the beautiful words in the world are used. I have always been very fond of it." I wanted to see the real Aegean Sea, but now that I see this scene, I can suddenly imagine the real Aegean Sea in another world, and I’m afraid it’s nothing more than this.”

"The Aegean Sea is blue, the sky is blue, and even the doors and windows of the residents on distant islands are the same blue..." Antigonus suddenly remembered the experience of visiting Athens with his parents when he was a teenager in his previous life. At that time, he also saw the legendary Aegean Sea bathed in Greek civilization and the islands full of mythology and culture. Under the sunshine, the blue sky and the sea shocked his senses, and he still remembers it. that scene.

Antico really wanted to tell Helen that he would definitely take her to see the real Aegean Sea in the future, but when the words came to his lips, he still forcibly swallowed them. He was incapable of taking Helen to leave this world and return to the original time and space. However, making a wish rashly will only bring Helen down.

However, he was able to tell in his own words about his visits to the Acropolis and the Aegean coast.Antigonus gently stretched out his hand, put it on Helen's other shoulder, and gently embraced the girl to his side. He felt the warm touch from his hand and the slight trembling of the girl, and slowly opened his mouth to tell her about himself. experience...

At the beginning, Helen was worried because of Antigonus's sudden movement, but she soon immersed herself in Antigonus's gentle words. Following Antigonus' words, she seemed to be able to understand from another angle. See the beautiful Aegean Sea from another world.

Behind them, several fellow cavalrymen who just walked out of the cabin saw the beautiful sight of a man and a woman hugging each other. They looked at each other and retreated along the original path, and then whispered in praise of His Majesty the King's methods. Gao, less than three hours after leaving Pella, he got an ignorant girl.

……

Since then, Helen's attitude towards Antigon has also become much better. In the beginning, Antigon was just a nominal fiancé and an object of admiration in her eyes. After Tico took the initiative to hug her, she was not so restrained, and she was often inseparable from Antico throughout the day, and she also learned more about this young man who seemed to have a sense of distance.

Antigonus is often able to speak out knowledge and opinions that she has never heard of. Although he is a young king, he is very friendly to the people around him. Therefore, the people who are on the same boat with them have far less fear of Antigonus than respect. They stood with Antigon without any psychological pressure, discussing common topics, or listening to Antigon tell stories he didn't know where he got them, and they got along very happily.

Helen quietly observed Antigon's life on the ship, and her admiration for the young king gradually grew into admiration. No change was noticed.

As the days passed, Antico's fleet arrived in the coastal waters of the Feron Commercial Republic. After arriving here, the three warships escorted by them were ordered to return. To the nearest port from here in the Merchant Republic of Felon.
