The Dragon That Devours the World
Chapter 22: golden fleece
In many stories there is such a prince, whose father was a splendid and righteous king. But when he was born or young, his father was overthrown by conspirators and his own kingship was usurped. Then after many trials and tribulations, the grown prince finally defeated the conspirators and regained the throne.
Such stories have been circulating for a long time, but for Jason, he prefers not to appear in such stories.
"Jason, my dear nephew..."
In front of Jason, the old, bloated guy with a disgusting smile who was nominally his uncle, was talking deliberately kind words at the moment, but Jason looked at his face and even wanted to immediately pull out the sword from his waist. He killed.
This guy who has seized his brother's throne and wants to coax him at this moment. But he couldn't do it, looking at the many guards beside the king, the young and handsome Jason tried to calm himself down.
He showed a seemingly cheerful and innocent smile: "Yes, my uncle, I also miss you very much... Now that I am an adult, according to the ancient tradition, I will inherit and be temporarily kept by you and belong to my father Esson. Salia Kingdom."
In the seemingly cheerful words, Jason pointed out a fact secretly.
Although his uncle is now the de facto king, in name he claims that he is only in charge of the throne in place of his mediocre brother. And if his brother's son grows up, he will cede the throne to him.
But in fact, Jason disappeared as early as when his father, Esson, was overthrown, and few people know that he was rescued from the killers by the famous centaur, Chiron.
The famous centaur Chiron had an immortal lifespan and taught many heroes. He taught Jason with many skills, horseback archery, literature and poetry, and these skills made Jason a young and strong youth.
As he grew up, Jason tried to claim the throne from his uncle.
The sudden arrival of the prince caught the king by surprise, but the old king comforted his nephew while thinking about countermeasures. In the end, he came up with a way...
In the tears of the old king, he claimed that he was very willing to return the throne to Jason, but Jason was too young, and he was afraid that Jason would not be enough to convince the public.
So he showed his fangs.
"I often dream of the ghost of Phryxos, who misses his homeland and hopes that I will give him peace. If you can bring his bones and the legendary golden fleece, it will prove your ability, I can also rest assured that the throne will be handed over to you."
Golden Fleece?
The appearance of this term made Jason couldn't help frowning wildly.
There are many legends about such a treasure, but among the many legends, the most important point is that it is the wool of the golden sheep that once raised the **** Zeus.
The sheep was given to the **** Hermes, who in turn gave it to Phryxos, the mortal child of Nephele, the goddess of clouds, and his sister Helle.
The two goddesses and the king's children flew into the distance on the golden sheep. When they flew to the sea, the elder sister Helle glanced at the sea below, dizzy, and fell to her death on the spot. The only remaining Phryxos rode the golden sheep and flew to the sea.
Legend has it that the child of the goddess later bore offspring in distant countries and became local kings. The golden sheep was slaughtered and sacrificed to the gods, and the wool of the golden sheep became a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the family.
Jason knew that this was obviously his uncle's shirk, and he was afraid that he would like to die in the distance of the sea.
However, Phryxos and his uncle Pelias really knew each other. Pelias and his father Esson are both sons of the **** Poseidon. It is said that the two had a friendship when they were young, and it is quite convincing to borrow the name of this long-dead man.
Jason glanced at the expressions of the people around him, knowing that he had no fame now, and even if he had ambition, he could not gain support. So he barely suppressed his heart and said with a smile.
"My uncle, I will do it."
In his heart, Jason was thinking frantically, what should I do next?
Soon, an idea came to his mind.
…
A few days later, a sensational news spread throughout Greece.
The vengeful prince Jason is about to go out to sea and go to the other side of the sea in search of the legendary Golden Fleece.
For a while, the entire Greek region was discussing this matter.
The Golden Fleece is an extremely valuable treasure, and it is an honor, but even more daunting is its location.
Colchis, this is a legendary country, it is said that it is a mysterious forbidden place at the end of the sea. Many people believe that there are mysterious mages, ferocious dragons, and precious treasures in that country.
However, heavy seas blocked the hero's footsteps.
The sirens of the sea will confuse the minds of mortals, the strange birds of the sea that feed on humans, the strange fish and beasts of the sea, and the capricious storm tide... of danger.
Someone persuaded Jason not to go, it was too dangerous.
But the young man was not afraid, and instead issued a summoning order, calling on the heroes of all Greece to go to Colchis at the end of the sea to take an adventure.
At Jason's call, some heroes are attracted to the precious golden fleece, some are attracted to the glorious glory, and some are simply attracted by the treasure, and so on.
In this way, the heroes of all Greece began to gather towards Jason's position.
At the foot of Mount Pelion, a magnificent ship is under construction.
In order to appease Jason's heart, the old king summoned the best shipbuilders in all of Greece. Their craftsmanship was as powerful and perfect as if they had been taught by the gods.
A huge ship is gradually taking shape.
Time passed like this for half a year, and the big ship was finally built. Numerous heroes gathered here, and amid the hustle and bustle, the heroes who relied on force began to compete with each other for the qualifications to board the ship.
Such liveliness even attracted the goddess of the sky and the goddess of the underworld.
"Look, Mona, these mortals are young and energetic, but they don't know the danger they are about to face."
Reaching out a scallion-like hand, the beautiful goddess in military armor said to the girl beside her.
The girl watched quietly. She was invited by the goddess Athena to travel among the world, but during her travels, she saw these young heroes from all over the world.
No one can see the two goddesses who are invisible. The goddess walks among the heroes of the demigods, and even comments on the fate of everyone.
"Look at this old Polyphemus, the hero of the Lapite heroes. When the Lapite heroes fought against the centaurs, he bravely helped them and drove away the centaurs. We. He is old now, but the pride in his heart remains."
Athena pointed to a middle-aged man who was strutting high, and he was quite eye-catching among many young people.
At his age, warriors generally retire from combat, but this ambitious old hero is not old, still trying to prove to the world his former glory.
Mona shook her head.
"The courage of a young man is like a sword, and the wisdom of an elder is like a shield, but a sword is more advantageous than a shield in adventure. His shield can protect his homeland, but it is difficult to travel far."
Obviously, Mona, who can understand fate, is not very optimistic about this old hero.
Hearing this, Athena pointed again.
"What about this energetic young man? His name is Kronos, he was born in a prosperous land, and bravely came to take risks. His eyes are bright, his arms are strong, and he looks extraordinary."
"A brave and fearless warrior, but his stage of life is not here. After blocking the advance of the enemy and fearlessly breaking up for his comrades, his life will be sung by poets."
Mona stared at the young man, who was laughing with his friends, and a picture of the future appeared in her eyes.
At some point in the future, this brave and fearless young man becomes the clan leader. In a war against the centaurs, he was besieged by the centaurs after he was killed by other clan leaders.
The centaurs charged again and again, but couldn't beat him back or kill him. In the end the unyielding warrior was knocked to the ground by the thick tree trunks thrown by the centaurs.
At this moment, the young people are still unaware of their own future, laughing loudly.
Athena thought thoughtfully. She is not a **** who is proficient in prophecy. She is better at grasping the present than predicting the future.
"The future of the heroes is not yet determined, so how can there be no change?"
Said the goddess who likes to be with heroes and guide them forward.
Mona shook her head calmly, noncommittal.
"Look at these two young men. The calm and wise one is Mepsos, who was born wise, and Apollo, the **** of light, taught him how to prophesy according to birds. And the active one is Cantos, He's from the island of Oppoia and is happy to join the adventure."
"Knowing the prophecy, you can't predict your own loss, and your passion is like fire, but it can't illuminate the layers of fog. Poor people, they will be lost at the end of the world and will never be able to return home."
Mona sighed.
These two young people from different places will meet unexpectedly in this adventure, and finally get lost at the end of the world together and buried there.
For Mona to reveal the future of these young people at a glance, Athena sighed deeply. So, she deliberately pointed her finger at the demigods with divine blood.
"Look, these are the two sons of Leda, the queen of Sparta, Polydeuces the mighty and Castor the steed. They are the children of Zeus in the mortal world."
Athena pointed to a pair of young and handsome brothers, the older brother was resolute and the younger brother was handsome.
Once, Zeus saw the beautiful Queen of Sparta on the ground, so he turned into a swan and the queen gave birth to this pair of brothers.
Mona looked at it carefully and said.
"They are indeed powerful, but their fates are intertwined until they become stars in the sky."
This passage of Mona seems to be deliberately vague, so that Athena cannot fully understand it.
In Mona's eyes, there was a faint starlight on the pair of brothers, and they would one day turn into a constellation in the sky, the constellation of Gemini.
But the future cannot be revealed at will, so Mona can only choose to be vague.
Athena was not discouraged, and pointed to a centaur.
"This Kentaurus (centaur) is called Eurydion, and he is powerful and fierce. He must be able to emerge from this, right?"
It was a centaur who was drinking heavily and laughing.
Mona shook her head.
"It's a pity that he has the strength of a hero, but he has lost respect because of drunken indulgence."
One day in the future, the powerful but rude centaur goes crazy because of drinking too much at the wedding banquet, grabs the bride and tries to **** it away, and is killed by another angry hero Theseus.
Athena pointed to another pair of young people.
The heavier Mona sighed, the pair of twins born to Zeus would die in the future because of their feud with the pair of brothers named Linkus and Idas.
Two pairs of brothers, who once fought side by side, ended up killing each other because of their bad relationship. Seeing the future Mona, they couldn't help shaking their heads.
The rest are the descendants of Poseidon, the **** of the sea, the descendants of Hephaestus, the **** of fire, the descendants of the ancient Athenian kings and goddesses... These rare heroes in the world are gathered here at this moment, and Athena asked Mona to come one by one. Reviews, but Mona's reviews are generally bad.
Until the end, even the goddess Athena, who was called the hero's friend, couldn't help but be puzzled.
"Is the road of heroes so difficult? After counting all these heroes and gods, is there no one who can finish it?"
Mona shook her head.
The road of heroes is indeed very difficult, and countless people have stepped into it, but it is difficult to reach the end. But those who can reach the end must have incredible power. Like the one who is about to come and who is most likely to end the road.
"Look, Athena, the person who is most likely to succeed in achieving greatness is on his way."
Mona said softly, and under the gaze of the two goddesses, a hero walked slowly from afar.
He has a decent appearance and is more mature than he was many years ago. The lion's skin was still draped behind him, and on his shoulders he carried a big wild boar that he had just hunted. His eyes were like torches, and he was staring at the chaotic port.
