Radiant Enemy

The two teams that disembarked from the Argo have both returned. Although the team that purchased fresh water and food barely managed to purchase, it is obvious that the quality of the food is not good enough, and the quantity is not enough.

The team of Jason and Hercules who inquired about the news was the last to come back.

And when they came back, they brought news that made the whole ship boil.

——On this island, there is a one-eyed giant who is rampant. Every once in a while, he will come to the town to capture and eat humans.

It is also because of him that almost all capable young people on this island have fled, leaving only the incompetent old, weak, sick and disabled lingering in the fear of being eaten at any time.

No wonder the island is so depressed and lifeless.

Jason had a serious face. He stood on the high platform of the rudder, looked at his crew, and said loudly: "The people of this island are suffering, and we are the heroes who rescued them from suffering! Everyone, Look at the numb faces of those children, look at the despairing eyes of those old people, and tell me, as powerful and brave heroes, would you stand by and watch!?"

"Won't!!"

Jason's speech was very contagious, and soon there were heroes in the audience shouting loudly with righteous indignation.

"Down that giant! Give them back a piece of paradise!"

Jason also drew out the long sword around his waist, raised it high and pointed it at the sun.

The team to defeat the Cyclops set off from the pier in a mighty way. Jason walked in the forefront, looking imposing. He seemed to feel the gazes from both sides, and his chest suddenly became higher.

Hilgna and Atalanta stayed on the boat, although seeing the look of the huntress, she wanted to fight together, but out of a sense of responsibility, she couldn't put Hilgna on the boat alone.

——When it was known that there were giants raging on this island, some of the heroes were indeed to save those poor people, but more of them were to gain fame and fortune in this battle with the giants, which also led to Now, there is no one else on the Argo except Hilgna and Atalanta, who really couldn't stand it and offered to stay.

Obviously protecting ships is also very important, but most people still choose the easier way to become famous.

After all, when the bards sang it in the future, compared to staying behind the ship, of course, defeating the giant sounded more majestic and handsome, and it would be more honorable to spread it out.

Atalanta crossed her arms and looked at the men carrying weapons sprinting towards the town with a gloomy expression. The expression of disdain on her face was even worse.

She asked Hilgna angrily: "Can these men also be called heroes?!"

The keen huntress naturally discovered the impure purpose of these people.

Hilgner didn't care. He heard Atalanta say this, but he comforted her and said, "After all, there is indeed a need for someone to stay on the boat. Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. You don't have to care about me, if you want to follow It doesn't matter."

If Hilgna went with him, no matter how powerful the giant was, he would probably only be able to deal with it with one blow.

"What's more, I don't like fighting and killing."

Leaving aside whether Hilgna is willing to work hard to deal with the giant that other people can take care of, even if he is willing to take action, those heroes who are about to take this as credit will not be willing to let him enjoy the credit alone.

Jason probably also considered these two points, so he let Hilgna stay on the boat, but was misunderstood by Atalanta.

"No, but..." Atalanta hesitated to speak. After all, she was not good at words, so she had no choice but to climb up to the watchtower with her bow and arrows in her arms, and guard the boat silently.

Hilgna stood on the side of the ship, he concentrated his magic power slightly in his eyes, and then his vision clearly captured the scene of Jason leading the heroes to fight against the giants.

After watching for a while, Hilgner frowned.

Although Jason's speech just now was very exciting, but when it came time to go to the battlefield, he fell at the end instead.

Even though he wanted to attack, the sword he swung up actually wounded the friendly army, which was really horrible.

"..."

Hilgner took out a pen and paper from the cloak, and wrote down Jason's performance.

Leadership is great, but it's not enough without the corresponding force.

Although Jason would never want to go back to Chiron's class, Hilgna could not allow Jason to ruin Chiron's reputation.

Silgner saw that Jason was still caught in the mutual attack between the friendly army and the giant, and he even successfully avoided the stones thrown by the giant and the arrows shot by the friendly army. After reaching the giant's back, he was lucky enough to insert the sword into the giant's ankle, causing the giant to scream in pain, and there was a gap in his movements.

Naturally, the heroes did not let go of this opportunity, and weapons such as stones, arrows, long swords, spears and axes continued to attack the giant.

The giant also seemed to be aware that his own death was approaching, and the attack of resistance became more and more violent. Even Hercules was injured by the giant tree that the giant pulled up at will.

Hilgna frowned, he clearly saw the blessing of the gods emanating from the giant.

"That's not okay." Jason is considered by Hilgna as a disciple of his friend Chiron, and he also learned how to make nautical charts from Hilgna, so he can be counted as half of his disciples .

On the verge of death, the power of a god flashed from the giant's body, and Jason and the others could not easily solve it.

Hilgna muttered like this, subconsciously wanting to take out the weapon, but remembered that the weapon he used easily fell into the space-time gap.

Unable to do so, Hilgner took out the exquisite longbow that Jason hung from the captain's room to show off his prowess, and then put the arrow on the bowstring, aiming at his target and pulling it away.

Hilgna hadn't used a bow and arrow for a long time, but his previous skills hadn't faded, instead, his soul had grown stronger and stronger.

It was originally just an ordinary arrow, but a light blue light gradually enveloped it, and as Hilgna's arm moved back, the light became even more intense, and flames and thunder were faintly visible jumping on it.

Atalanta moved her ears, and immediately got up to look at Hilgna, and just as Hilgna let go of the bowstring, the arrow pierced through the air with a "swish", and disappeared from her sight in an instant. .

And the arrow smoothly and fluently broke through all the objects in front of it, passed through the entire town, and most of the island, and came to the chaotic and extremely dangerous battlefield.

Atalanta involuntarily clenched the railing of the boat in front of her, and even held her breath.

As a hunter, she naturally knows how powerful this arrow is. It is so simple, neat, full of power and speed. The arrows shot by the words can only have so much power. After coming to the conclusion that her own strength is not as good as that, Atalanta looked at Hilgna with bright and sharp eyes.

——It was the excited gaze of seeing a strong man wanting to compare with him.

Some people noticed the arrival of the arrow, and more people were still clenching their teeth to resist the last stubborn resistance of the giant.

But all that chaos did not affect the arrow's brisk passing through the giant's throat.

The giant stopped suddenly and made a strange "ho ho" sound. At the same time, he covered his neck and scratched it twice with his nails, as if trying to get out something that made him uncomfortable.

But the arrow that had completely submerged into his throat and flesh and blood only left a small half of its tail feathers exposed, and the rest had already penetrated deeply into the giant's vitals.

Before the puzzled expression on the giant's face dissipated, the huge body crashed to the ground, crushing a large area of ​​the forest behind it, completely silent.

"We... won?"

The people on the Argonaut looked at each other, but they were afraid that this was a giant's trick.

Jason's hair was disheveled due to the brawl just now, but luckily he wasn't seriously injured—in comparison, he was caught between the friendly army and the enemy's attack, and he was injured less than Hercules, so he had to Call it a special talent.

He took a breath, leaned on his sword and walked towards the giants, and found that their enemy was indeed dead, and shouted: "We have won!!!"

There were many responders, and they showed proud smiles.

Jason couldn't help but relax, and then he sat down on the giant's chest, and then slipped down because of the blood from the wound on the giant's body.

But with this slip, he found the arrow that sank into the giant's throat, leaving only a small half of its tail feathers.

"What, you still made a move." Jason muttered to himself, with a smile on his face.

"But this is not what I begged you for, so it can't be counted in that one help!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately judged that it was Hilgna's handwriting.

If other people on the Argo were replaced, even if they found that the arrow that killed the giant did not belong to anyone present, they would only think that it was probably Atalanta's handwriting.

After all, Hilgna lived reclusively on the ship, and few people knew him. Although Atalanta had a haughty personality and didn't care much about others, she was indeed an excellent hunter, and she was also good at bows and arrows.

Jason doesn't intend to take the credit for Hilgner - he wouldn't even dare to give him a hundred guts!

However, when Jason cleared his throat and distributed the rewards and credits, someone raised an objection to Hilgna, who was clearly not present but was able to win the first prize: "Who is this person? Why haven't I heard of it?" his name?"

"And this person didn't come here to fight with us, did he?"

"That's right, Jason, you can't report your merits indiscriminately for the sake of those who support you!"

"Quiet!" Seeing that Jason's voice was overshadowed by people's angry and confused shouts, Hercules took a step forward and shouted in a deep voice.

"Didn't you notice the arrow that went straight into the giant's throat! Such a powerful and crisp arrow technique would have killed this giant in one blow! If it wasn't for him, we might have to fight to the death. In the end, it is unknown whether I can return home safely from here!"

The tall figure and stern face of Hercules quieted down the rest of the angry crowd, and this vacated moment of silence gave Jason a chance to speak.

Jason's excellent eloquence calmed down those who were still aggrieved, and he generously gave up his share of the spoils, making some people who felt that their achievements were taken away by Hilgna satisfactorily. On the mouth.

However, the name of Hilgner became famous in the first battle. It can be said that everyone present remembered this name.

There are still many heroes who are chanting this name, determined to make friends with him after returning to the Argo, no matter what, it is always right to make friends with those who can shoot that arrow in advance.

Jason and other heroes plundered a lot of good things from the cave where the giant lived, probably from many places and islands.

Every time the Cyclops came to an island, he first snatched the resplendent and resplendent treasures, and then ate those people until he ate up the town before going to the next island.

I don't know how many towns the giant piled up with treasures in the cave, and how many towns he destroyed before gathering them together.

This expedition can be said to be a rewarding experience.

The townspeople who had noticed the battle between the heroes and the giants and hid earlier also gathered to cheer for the heroes' return.

The depressed town held a joyful banquet for the first time in a long time--as early as when the giant was still alive, they naturally dared not hold this kind of festival that would attract the giant's attention, but now that the danger of the giant is gone, there will be no more. scruples.

By the blazing bonfire, many people surrounded Hilgna. Although he still wore the cloak that isolated his appearance and breath, the heroes on the Argo didn't care.

In this land, there are many heroes with eccentricities. As long as they are not the kind of people who will suddenly go crazy and kill people, what's so strange just wanting to hide their appearance?

Glass after glass of wine came to Hilgna. They laughed and admired the arrow that Hilgna shot at the critical moment, while quietly asking whether this cloaked man who had been extremely mysterious since boarding the ship was from where.

When Jason saw it, he became impatient, fearing that these people's overt and secret probing and consideration would offend Hilgna, he quickly picked up his wine glass, squeezed into the crowd, avoided the topic, and blocked those people who paid homage to Hilgna. wine.

Although Hilgner was not very cold, he was not very enthusiastic either. Although he did not refuse these people's toasts, the respect that these people imagined that the other party would hear his name did not happen at all. Pimples arose in my heart, and I muttered about Hilgna's arrogance.

Jason didn't want these people to be kicked off the ship because he didn't like Hilgna—the journey had only just begun!There is still a long way to go before reaching the island where the Golden Fleece is hidden!

But what Jason himself didn't realize was that putting Hilgna, who only promised to help him once, and the crew who could always help him win the Golden Fleece, were placed at the two ends of the scale. He instinctively chose Hilgna. .

Unknowingly, the crew began to drink with Jason, and many people gathered around, cheering and applauding, and many people started a game with the treasure they just got, betting that they could Which hero will win in the end.

As a result, Hercules, who obviously contributed the most in the battle, and Hilgna, who gave the giant a fatal blow in the end, the two greatest heroes, were instead left in a quiet corner of the banquet.

The tall dark-skinned hero didn't care about those false names, nor did he care about the cheers. He drank the wine in his glass and suddenly said to the cloaked man beside him, "Who is Jason?"

Hilgna sipped the fine wine slowly, even with the divinity and eyesight of Hercules, he could only see the lips of the man in the cloak, but his face was impossible to remember.

However, under the raised brim is a pair of blue eyes that you will never forget once you see them: "Why do you want to know this?"

"He is special to you," said Hercules.

"I'm afraid even Jason himself didn't notice it. When you appeared on the ship's side a few times, the eyes that wanted to watch you and talk to you, but were afraid of letting you find out, were a bit pitiful."

Hilgna laughed, no matter what Hercules misunderstood, he could hear the pity for Jason from the words of this hero who was destined to become famous.

"I can tell you, but relatively, please tell me - why are you pitying him?"

The wine in Hercules' hands spilled out. He was obviously not drunk yet, but he made such a low-level mistake that only a drunk would make.

"I have some friendship with Chiron, the teacher who taught Jason. I just wanted to wander around, and Jason's ship happened to be recruiting people, so I boarded the Argonaut."

Hilgna said half-truthfully.

"It's your turn—tell me, what are you pitying him for?"

Hercules obviously beat the immortal demon lion to death with his bare hands, and he also accepted those fears and slanders without changing his face, but under Hilgna's eyes that seemed to see through him, he was silent for a long time , There was a trace of retreat in my heart.

After a while, Hercules broke up the ridiculous retreat, and then slowly replied: "Jason's desire will burn him out sooner or later."

After the chatterbox was opened, it could never be taken back: "He is the most human hero I have ever seen, like a flame, burning with his fighting spirit and will. But the fire of desire does not necessarily Lead him in the right direction. If he is not careful, he will be swallowed by the flames and fall into a tragic situation—no, he will definitely fall into a tragic situation. But the most pitiful thing is that he not only did not find I was jumping and jumping on the edge of the cliff, but I felt that I was as safe as walking on the ground, and even made various behaviors that made people sweat for him."

But such Jason has a grand desire in his heart that is completely unlike him.

——He wants to take back the country that was taken away by his uncle, and then establish a country where everyone can eat and learn knowledge from books, where everyone is rich and happy, and even a man named Hercules Heroes, people who are actually feared as monsters, will not be feared by the country.

The grand yearning and desire that are completely inconsistent with Jason's character and heart.

And he himself did not find the huge gap between his character and heart and this wish, and because of this, he is destined to become a pathetic human being in the pursuit of his wish.

If Hercules became a Heroic Spirit, he would know that this intuitive judgment is the intuition called 'clairvoyance' brought by his demigod blood.

Hercules sees through Jason's sad future, but Jason not only fails to realize his own sadness, but also thinks from the bottom of his heart that what he has done is correct.

"So that's why you said he was pitiful."

Hilgner nodded, agreeing quite a bit.

"He is indeed like a person who will go astray if he doesn't pay attention, and then fall directly into the abyss and can't get up again."

Hilgner remembered that he had given the wristband to Chiron at the beginning, but Jason took it away halfway, and because of this, Jason was ordered by him for a long time, making him tired and embarrassed In the end, although the task assigned by Hilgner was completed, it was also tossed enough.

If Jason hadn't been Chiron's disciple, if Chiron hadn't taken him in and helped Hilgna understand the world, as early as the moment Jason reached out his hand, he would have gotten a lesson that he would remember his whole life—even though it seems It's almost there.

"That was his own choice, too."

Hilgna said bluntly.

"If he has made a choice, he has to bear the pain caused by the choice. But aren't friends and elders just to alert and remind him?"

Hilgna raised his glass to Hercules.

"At that time, if you can watch Jason choose the wrong direction, but still keep silent and don't stop him, you can't be called his relatives and friends, right?"

Hercules bent his lips and clinked glasses with Hilgna: "That's true."

Unaware that he might be going in the wrong direction, Jason, who was woken up by Hercules' fist, was still blushing and fighting with others, but he felt a chill all over his body, his hands trembled, and The wine was spilled, and those who were watching them shouted: "Captain, you spilled the wine! This glass can't be counted! Let's start again!"

Atalanta stood far away at the edge of the banquet, she frowned unaccustomed to the smell of alcohol and those vulgar shouts, then looked at Hilgna who was at the other end of the banquet, and couldn't help but sigh.

The huntress touched the bow and arrow on her back, and after hesitating for a moment, she chose to stay between disembarking and leaving and continuing to stay.

She still hasn't found the opportunity to discuss with Hilgna for advice. If she just got off the ship like this, Atalanta has a hunch that she will definitely regret it.

Jason finally won the opponent with a drink, heated up the atmosphere again, and replaced the next batch of drinkers, finally found a gap and walked towards Hilgna with unsteady steps.

Although Jason on the Argonaut could not see any traces, in fact, he had been in a state of high tension and fear since the beginning of the journey.

Everyone knows that none of the adventurers who went to obtain the Golden Fleece came back safely. Twelve painstaking efforts to subdue these proud heroes on board.

——After defeating the one-eyed giant, his spirit had already reached its limit.

The author has something to say:

Jason in the history of the moon took advantage of Medea's infatuation with him, which led to a tragic and deserved ending.

Because Xingyue didn’t say whether it’s the god of beauty playing tricks, so it is assumed that Medea fell in love with Jason at first sight. After all, Medea Lily’s voice in the arcade seems to want to build a world where everyone can be happy, and Jason's wish is the same.

After all, Jason of the Argonaut is indeed brave and responsible, and he deserves to be a man who acts for his own desires.Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
