Chapter 163

After all, they had already accepted Medea during this long journey.

After Circe said hello to Ina, she left dejectedly and went to the temple of the goddess Hecate here, preparing to meet the punishment of her teacher.

The beautiful woman Ina, together with the heroes, headed towards the kingdom.

In this way, holding olive branches, they finally ended their long journey and reached the end of the Golden Fleece journey.

And in that kingdom, he saw the burly King of Colchis, Aeetes.

Chapter 143 The fate of heroes (3k)

In the Kingdom of Colchis,

Holding the promise of an olive branch symbolizing peace, Jason and others soon arrived at the kingdom's castle and met Medea's father, King Aeetes.

Medea did not follow, and was taken away by her mother Ina on the way. This mother obviously had a lot to say to her daughter.

King Aeetes is the son of the sun god Helios. He is a middle-aged man who looks tall, handsome, and majestic, just like the sun.

When everyone came to the throne and before they could speak, King Aeetes, who glanced at everyone and focused on the promise, suddenly smiled kindly and said: "If I If I guess correctly, you are the hero of Queen Hera and the student of Centaur Sage Chiron, right?"

Aeetes' words made Nuoyan slightly stunned, and then he nodded subconsciously.

“I have already heard what my great father God, the Sun God Helios, said about you, because I also know your purpose of coming.

At the same time, I must express my gratitude to you for protecting my daughter along the way and bringing Medea back to me. "

With that said, Aeetes stood up and saluted Nuoyan solemnly.

Before Promise could answer, he heard Aeetes say: "At the same time, I must apologize to you, because even so, I still can't give you the Golden Fleece."

Jason couldn't help but frown when he heard this, because the matter was related to the oath to Hera and his throne, so Jason couldn't help but feel unhappy at this time.

Nuoyan didn't feel much about it, after all, he knew a secret, something that even King Aeetes' own children might not know.

That was when Aeetes obtained the Golden Fleece, the gods gave him an oracle, telling him that his life was actually tied to the Golden Fleece.

When the Golden Fleece left this land, it was the end of Aeetes' life.

Therefore, in the original myth and legend, Medea, who took away the Golden Fleece for Jason, actually not only killed her brother, but also her father.

But even so, Jason later fell in love with someone else.

Well, although Medea's paranoid love for Jason, in addition to her own personality, was mainly due to Hera finding Cupid and shooting Medea with an arrow.

"In fact, I didn't shelter Medea. On the contrary, I got a lot of help from her along the way."

Then Nuoyan stood up and smiled and replied to King Aeetes: "So my dear king, please allow me to offend and cannot accept your thanks."

"As for your country's treasured Golden Fleece... In fact, we all know that this is a rude and offensive act, and we are not robbers, but whether it is an agreement with the great Queen Hera, or to help The friend takes back everything that belongs to him.

Please understand, King, that we do need it and are willing to pay for it. "

King Aeetes nodded slightly, not angry at all. After all, just as he said, the sun god Helios had already told him all the reasons.

King Aeetes actually had a good impression of the heroes who arrived here from such a distant place, overcame countless difficulties on the way, and made good friends with his daughter Medea.

So it can be said that as long as it is not the golden fleece, this king will never be stingy with anything else.

"I heard that if you want to get the Golden Fleece, you must first pass three trials?"

At this moment, Hercules, who had arrived here first and had heard something, spoke up.

Hearing that King Aeetes was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the heroes who were looking at them curiously, he hesitated for a moment, then sighed and nodded: "That's true.

In fact, I had already dedicated the precious Golden Fleece to the great God of War, Lord Ares, and Lord Ares stored it in the sacred forest on the outskirts, on an ancient oak tree, with an A sleepless poisonous dragon guard who never closes his eyes. "

"And I have left three trials for all the heroes who come here to seek the Golden Fleece, but... I really don't want to tell you."

After hearing this, Jason was the first to speak displeasedly: "Are you looking down on us, do you think we don't have that qualification?!"

Aeetes was not angry after hearing this, because to be precise, Jason's attitude was the norm for 'heroes' in this era.

Especially the descendants of many gods, their words and actions are much more arrogant and arrogant.

And because of the Golden Fleece, King Aeetes was already used to it.

"I don't want to watch you die. After all, you are my daughter's friends, and you have come from such a far away place. You are my respectable guests."

King Aeetes said: "But since you want to know, let me tell you. In a cave on the outskirts of the kingdom, there are two sacred cows left by my great father God. They were both born from the sun. "

"They are covered with the flames of the sun and are extremely violent. The first test is to subdue them and sow the poisonous dragon's fangs."

"The second trial is at night. The poisonous dragon's fangs will grow in the ground and grow into dragon fang soldiers from the underworld. There are tens of thousands of them. You need to kill them in one night."

"And the last trial is to go to the sacred forest of the sleepless poisonous dragon. It is the pet of Ares, the God of War, and is said to be the son of Typhon, the ancestor of all demons. And you need to witness it under the witness of Ares, the God of War. Defeat the sleepless poisonous dragon!"

After speaking for a long time, King Aeetes stopped. Then he looked at the group of Argonauts who had become quiet, and continued seriously: "In fact, I have seen many people fighting for the Golden Fleece. The heroes came, but without exception they all fell to these trials.

I have even seen more than once that they were burned to ashes by the flames of the sun, but since it is the great gods who have guided you there, I think you will never give up easily, but that is definitely not now. "

"Whether it's the oracle given to me by the great Father God, or for my daughter Medea, or for my admiration for you all the way here, I have prepared a grand banquet for you. You can rest for a while before making any plans. Decide."

Because of Medea and the sun god Helios, the king was undoubtedly very kind. When Jason and others looked at each other, they had no reason to refuse, so they naturally agreed.

Immediately, everyone was greeted to leave. At this time, the bright figure wearing green clothes suddenly pulled Nuoyan and came to the back of the team.

"What's wrong, Atalanta?"

Nuo Yan looked at her doubtfully.

Atalanta's beautiful holy blue eyes looked at Nuoyan and replied: "The painting... of Ares, the God of War, is this one?"

Nuoyan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Atalanta had always known about what he had drawn. After all, she was the first hero that Nuoyan drew.

So he didn't hide his promise, nodded, and then...

Then he saw Atalanta smiling very beautifully at this moment, as if something he had been looking forward to and waiting for had finally arrived.

...

...

Also on this night,

Jason had a dream.

In the dream, it was Jason's original future.

So this is not a sweet dream, but definitely a nightmare.

Because Jason's life was at its absolute peak when he arrived at the Land of the Golden Fleece with the Argonauts, and then took a turn for the worse.

Betrayal and killing have become its main themes.

In his dream, Jason saw that he had obtained the Golden Fleece with the help of Medea, but even though he had obtained the Golden Fleece, he still could not take back everything from his uncle.

And he saw that because he had an affair and betrayed Medea, he was not only disappointed and abandoned by the Queen Hera, but also lost everything. Even his children were killed by the angry Medea.

So he could only die in despair and loneliness, staying on the Argonaut every day, recalling the past glory, and was finally killed by a wooden plank falling from the Argonaut.

And this was the end of the hero named Jason in the ancient Greek gods.

And when Jason saw his death, he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. He immediately sat up from the bed, breathing heavily, with fear written on his face.

"Just...what was that?"

Just when Jason subconsciously touched his youthful face, looked at his energetic hands, and felt scared and confused.

"That's your future."

A cool and somewhat childish voice sounded next to Jason's ears.

Jason, who subconsciously turned his head when he heard the sound, saw the goddess sitting quietly at the side window, holding a crystal ball in her hand.

"In other words, that was your original future."

"My...future?"

Jason, who was sitting on the bed, looked at Clotho in confusion and shock.

Cloteau nodded slightly.

"Who are you......"

Jason looked at Clotho, and without waiting for Clotho's answer, he continued: "Wait, why do I feel that you look familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere..."

As he spoke, Jason's eyes widened little by little.

He remembered that he had indeed seen each other, in the temple of Nahra in his hometown.

This goddess had appeared before when Hera recognized the wrong person.

He also informed the then Queen Hera, Nuoyan and him who were present that one thing was that he and Nuoyan were both people who could bring glory to the Queen Hera!

She is Clotho, the goddess of destiny among the gods!

"Ah, it's the goddess Clotho!"

Jason finally reacted and rolled out of bed.

Looking at his panic-stricken appearance, Clotto not only didn't dislike him, but was actually quite happy, and his little bare feet swayed slightly.

Kloto, who had always been ‘humiliated’ by Nuoyan, finally felt the majesty of being a goddess.

“Well, may I ask the respected goddess of fate, is everything I just saw really…” After a while, Jason, who came to Cloto, couldn’t help but ask cautiously.

“I’ve already said that, that’s your future.”

Hearing this, Jason’s face turned pale.

Recalling Cloto’s identity, he naturally didn’t doubt Cloto’s words at all.

“My future, my future is so miserable.”

Jason seemed to have lost his soul at this moment, and his face showed despair.

Although Cloto couldn’t see it, she could fully imagine Jason’s expression at this time, which made her nod secretly.

Right, this is right, this is the reaction of a normal person!

Sure enough, it has always been the problem of Nuoyan!

Thinking of this, Cloto couldn’t help but gently stroke the crystal ball that he had been holding in his arms, and then carefully protected it.

Then he said to Jason, who was almost turning gray, "But I also said that was your original future."

"Huh?"

Jason looked like he was going to die, and said sadly, "What do you mean?"

"That is to say, your fate has changed."

Kloto said, "Whether it is your greatest glory or your downfall, it is actually closely related to Medea, the student of the great goddess Hecate."

"But because the goddess couldn't bear the bleak future of her students, she entrusted the matter to Nuoyan, so your fate has been changed."

If Cloto's words before were a death note from the underworld for Jason, then at this moment it was a more beautiful and pleasant voice than Helen.

Even at this moment, Jason was already extremely convinced that Cloto, the goddess of fate, was the cutest of all goddesses, no one else!

"Really!"

Jason was resurrected in a flash, and his hope for life was rekindled again.

But soon, Jason felt something was wrong again, and asked in confusion: "Wait, but I clearly heard Teacher Chiron say that fate is something that cannot be changed."

"So when we went down the mountain, Chiron also specifically told us that we must not spy on our future in any way..."

Kloto nodded slightly and replied: "It is indeed so. The destined fate is something that even the gods cannot change."

Hearing this, Jason was stunned for a moment, and grasped the key point, saying: "Originally?"

At this moment, Jason, who was not stupid, had already guessed the answer in his heart. After all, Cloto had told him in the previous conversation.

"The only exception is that one person, and that is my believer, Promise."

Then Cloto said Jason's guess.
