Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 324 Golden Fleece

In many stories, there is such a prince whose father is a glorious and upright king.But when he was born or young, his father was overthrown by conspirators, and his kingship was usurped.After going through many hardships, the grown prince finally defeated the conspirators and regained the throne.

Such stories have been circulated for a long time, but for Jason, he hoped that he would not appear in such stories.

"Jason, my dear nephew..."

In front of Jason, the old, bloated guy with a disgusting smile who was his uncle in name was speaking deliberately kind words at the moment, but Jason looked at his face, and even wanted to pull out the sword at his waist immediately. he killed.

This guy who took his brother's throne and now wants to trick him.But he couldn't do that. Looking at the many guards beside the king, the young and handsome Jason tried his best to calm down his mood.

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 the temporary custody of you and belong to my father Aisong. Kingdom of Thessalia."

In seemingly cheerful words, Jason secretly pointed out a fact.

Although his uncle was now the de facto king, in name only he claimed to be on the throne in place of his mediocre brother.And if his brother's son grows up, he will give him the throne.

But in fact, as early as when Jason's father, Aisong, was overthrown, Jason was also missing. Few people knew that he was rescued from the killers by the famous centaur Chiron.

The famous centaur Chiron has an eternal lifespan and has taught many heroes. He taught Jason many skills, horseback archery, literature and poetry, and these skills made Jason a young and strong youth.

When he grew up, Jason tried to claim the throne from his uncle.

The sudden arrival of the prince caught the king off guard, but the old king was consoling his nephew while thinking of countermeasures. Finally, he came up with a solution...

In the tears of the old king, he claimed that he was very willing to return the throne to Jason, but Jason was still too young, and he was afraid that Jason would not be enough to convince the public.

So he bared his fangs.

"I often dream of the ghost of Phryxos. He misses his hometown 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 rest assured to hand over the throne to you."

golden fleece?
The appearance of this term made Jason frowned wildly.

There are many legends about this treasure, but among the many legends, the most important point is that it is the wool of the golden sheep that once raised the god Zeus.

The sheep was given to the god Hermes, who in turn gave it to Phryxos, the mortal child of Nephele, the goddess of clouds, and her sister Hele.

The children of the two goddesses and the king flew far away on a golden ram. When they came to the sea, the elder sister Hele glanced at the sea below. She became dizzy and fell to her death on the spot.The only surviving Phryxos flew to the far sea on a golden ram.

According to legend, the goddess' child later gave birth to offspring in a distant country and became the local king.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 that family.

Jason Qingzhi knew that this was obviously his uncle's evasion, and he might wish he could die far away in the sea.

However, Phryxos and his uncle Pelias did know each other.Both Pelias and his father Aeson were the sons of the god Poseidon. It is said that the two had a friendship when they were young. 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 has no reputation now, and even if he is ambitious, he will not be able to 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 crazily, what should he do next?
Soon, he had an idea in his mind.

……

A few days later, a sensational news spread throughout Greece.

The vengeful prince Jason is about to go to sea to find the legendary Golden Fleece.

All of a sudden, the entire Greek region was discussing this matter.

The Golden Fleece is a treasure of great value, and that is an honor, but what is 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, many great seas blocked the heroes' footsteps.

The siren banshee on the sea will confuse the minds of mortals, the strange birds on the sea feed on humans, the strange fish and beasts in the sea, and the capricious storm tide... All of these are So dangerous.

Someone persuaded Jason not to go, it was too dangerous.

But the young man was not afraid, and instead issued a summons, calling on all the heroes of Greece to go to Colchis at the end of the sea for adventure.

Called by Jason, some heroes are attracted by the precious golden fleece, some heroes are attracted by the glorious glory, and some are simply attracted by the treasure, and so on.

In this way, all the heroes of Greece began to gather towards Jason's position.

At the foot of Mount Pelion, a magnificent ship is being built.

In order to appease Jason's heart, the old king summoned the best shipbuilders in all of Greece. Their crafts were as powerful and perfect as if they were taught by the gods.

A huge ship gradually took shape.

Half a year passed like this, and the big ship was finally built.Numerous heroes gathered here, amidst the hustle and bustle, heroes who relied on their own strength began to compete with each other for the qualification to board the ship.

Such excitement 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."

Stretching out her green 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 in the world, but she saw these young heroes from all over the world during her travels.

No one could see the invisible two goddesses. The goddesses walked among the heroes of the demigods, and even commented on the fate of everyone.

"Look at this old man, Polyphemus. He is the hero of the Lapitai heroes. When the Lapitai heroes fought against the centaurs, he bravely helped those heroes and drove away the centaurs. We. Now he is old, but the pride in his chest is still the same."

Athena pointed to a middle-aged man who was striding forward, and he was quite eye-catching among many young people.

At his age, warriors generally retire from the ranks of 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 old man is like a shield, but the sword is more beneficial than the shield in adventure. His shield can protect his homeland, but it is difficult to travel far."

Obviously, Mona, who can see through 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 came here bravely for adventure. His eyes are bright and his arms are strong. 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 dying for his comrades, his life will be sung by poets."

Mona stared at the youthful young man who was talking and laughing with his friends, and a picture of the future emerged in her eyes.

At some point in the future, this brave young man becomes the leader of the clan.In a war against centaurs, he cut off the queen for other tribal leaders, and he was besieged by centaurs.

The centaurs charged again and again, but they could not repel him, nor kill him.In the end, the strong and 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 future, laughing loudly.

Athena thought about it.She is not a god who is proficient in prophecy, she is better at grasping the present than predicting the future.

"The future of the heroes has not been determined, so how can there be no changes?"

Said the goddess who loved the company of heroes and guided them on their way.

Mona shook her head calmly, noncommittal.

"Come and see these two young men. The calm and wise one is Mepsos, who was born with great wisdom, and Apollo, the god of light, taught him how to prophesy from birds. And the active one is Cantos, He's from Opoa Island, and he's happy to join the adventure."

"Acquainted with the prophecy, they can't predict their loss, and their enthusiasm can't illuminate the fog. Poor people, they will be lost at the end of the world, and they will never return to their hometown."

Mona sighed.

These two young people from different places will accidentally meet and want to know in this adventure, and finally get lost at the end of the world together and die there.

Athena sighed deeply when Mona revealed the future of these young people at a glance.So, she purposely pointed her finger at the demigods who possessed divine blood.

"Look, those are the two sons of Leda, Queen of Sparta, the mighty Polydeuces and the steed Castor. They are the mortal children of Zeus."

Athena pointed to a pair of young and handsome brothers, the elder brother was resolute and the younger brother was handsome.

Once, Zeus saw that the Spartan queen was very beautiful on the ground, so he turned into a swan and gave birth to the two brothers with the queen.

Mona looked carefully and said.

"They are indeed powerful, but their fates are also entangled until they turn into stars in the sky."

Mona's words seemed intentionally vague, so that Athena could not fully understand.

In Mona's eyes, the two brothers were glowing with faint stars, and they would one day turn into constellations 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 again.

"This Centaur (centaur) is called Eurytion, and he is powerful and swift, so he must be able to make a difference here?"

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 loses respect because of drunken indulgence."

One day in the future, the powerful but rude centaur went mad because he drank too much at the wedding banquet, grabbed the bride and tried to snatch it away, but was beaten to death by another angry hero, Theseus.

Athena pointed to another pair of youths.

The more Mona sighed, the twin stars born to Zeus would die because of their feud with the brothers named Lyncus and Idas.

Two pairs of brothers once fought side by side, but in the end they killed each other because of their mutual hatred. Seeing the future Mona, they couldn't help shaking their heads.

And the rest are the descendants of Poseidon, the sea god, the descendants of Hephaestus, the fire god, and the descendants of the ancient Athens king and goddess... These rare heroes in the world are gathered here at this moment, and Athena asked Mona to come One review, but Mona has generally poor reviews.

Until the end, even the goddess Athena, who was called the Friend of Heroes, could not help but bewildered.

"Is the road of a hero so difficult? Counting all these heroes, can no one complete it?"

Mona shook her head.

The road of a hero is indeed very difficult. Countless people have stepped into it, and it is difficult to walk to the end.But those who can go to the end must have incredible power.As the one who is about to come, who is most likely to take this road to the end.

"Look, Athena, the person who is most likely to succeed in her great cause, is walking towards her."

Mona said softly, under the watchful eyes of the two goddesses, a great hero came slowly from afar.

He has a good appearance and is more mature than he was many years ago.The lion skin was still draped behind him, and a big wild boar he had just hunted was carried on his shoulders.His eyes were like torches, and he was staring at the chaotic port.
