After all, now is the day when Jason and his companions have arrived at their destination after a long journey.
It's like watching a TV series and reaching the last, most crucial and exciting part.
The gods will naturally not be absent.
But no matter how much Hermes and Artemis wanted to say at the moment, King Aeetes' eyes lit up instantly when he heard what Jason said.
"Quick, quick, bring me the treasure in Jason's hand!"
Obviously, King Aeetes liked it very much.
And these two, one is the god's artifact, and the other is the god's divine object.
This is much higher in level than those so-called rare treasures.
Although he liked them, King Aeetes showed an embarrassment on his face and said to Jason: "I like these gifts you sent me, Jason, but if you intend to exchange them for the Golden Fleece..."
"No, my worthy King Aeetes, I do not intend to exchange them for your Golden Fleece. I simply wish to offer them to you, King Aeetes, to secure an opportunity."
"Chance?"
At this moment, not only King Aeetes was confused, but also Theseus and others.
However, due to the prestige Jason had developed over the past six months and the fact that he was their junior fellow apprentice.
Theseus and the others did not say much, and everything focused on Jason.
"Yes." Jason nodded and said, "On the way here, after asking the old prophet, I have learned that you, the generous King Aeetes, are willing to give the warriors who come to find the Golden Fleece the opportunity to challenge and obtain the Golden Fleece.
Therefore, I present these rare treasures to King Aeetes, hoping that you, King Aeetes, will give us such an opportunity."
"Since you already know that I will generously give you this opportunity, why do you need to offer me these rare treasures?"
King Aeetes was puzzled.
"Because we are guests from afar, not robbers!" Jason replied, "although you, the generous King Aeetes, are willing to give anyone who comes to challenge you the opportunity to take away the Golden Fleece.
But the Golden Fleece is your country's heirloom, and it originally belongs to your country. We should not and have no right to touch it.
Therefore, we should present gifts to you, King Aeetes, and ask for a chance from you, the noble king. This is the most basic etiquette.
If you can't even do this, even if you complete the challenge and take away the Golden Fleece, it will still be considered a robbery!"
After hearing what Jason said, everyone present was stunned, including the soldiers standing by.
They looked at Jason with great surprise as he said this.
To date, they have seen countless people who have come to obtain the Golden Fleece.
Most people are arrogant and confident that they will take away the Golden Fleece.
They had no idea how many people were secretly angered by such behavior.
Because as Jason said, the Golden Fleece is the treasure of their country and even the symbol of their country!
It was obvious that Jason's words touched their hearts.
King Aeetes looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, and his heart was deeply touched.
The hero dressed in white and riding a holy Pegasus... these words undoubtedly mean that King Aeetes knows who Jason is and what he has done.
Therefore, King Aeetes subconsciously believed that Jason was a man full of arrogance and pride.
After all, Jason had such achievements at such a young age.
But after this meeting...
The queen's eyes lit up completely as she looked at Jason, and she couldn't look away.
That was clearly the look of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looked, the more she liked him...
"Jason, do you know how dangerous it is to challenge the Golden Fleece?!" King Aeetes asked Jason seriously.
"Of course, Your Majesty."
"Even so, do you still want to challenge?"
"Yes, King Aeetes!"
"Okay, then I'll give you this opportunity as you wish!"
Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he saluted King Aeetes to express his gratitude.
And just then...
"Is it really necessary? We offer so many things just for a chance. Shouldn't he have given it to us?" Someone couldn't help but whisper.
Although the voice was low, everyone listening, including the surrounding soldiers, could not help but nod their heads, obviously unable to understand this behavior.
After all, those flying shoes and moonstone are truly divine objects.
I feel like I’ve lost a lot!
In response, Jason smiled and did not explain... and he could not explain it at the moment.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Jason is bound to take away the Golden Fleece.
Jason knew that if he took the Golden Fleece away, the unwilling King Aeetes and his men would definitely send troops to hunt him down.
In the original destiny, it was Medea who stopped the pursuers, and she even killed her own brother for this...
Then I would like to ask, in this situation, if Jason and his men succeed in the challenge and take away the Golden Fleece, will King Aeetes still send people to hunt them down?
Even if someone were sent to hunt him down, Jason would be completely on the side of reason by then.
There is every reason to fight back.
Then when King Aeetes ordered his subordinates to entertain the people on the Argo, Jason did not leave, but came to the king and queen.
After asking about Medea... Jason was really confused as he still hadn't seen her.
Then, he received a gentle reply from the queen who was looking at him with a smile.
Tell Jason that Medea has been waiting for him.
Not far away, in the temple of the goddess Hecate...
After Jason said thank you and left, the beautiful queen looked at his departing figure and said to King Aeetes, who was happily playing with the flying shoes and moonstone beside him, "What do you think we should do if he really passes the test?
That child is a hero guided by wisdom and has never been defeated."
"Has he really passed the test?" King Aeetes was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "Then let him take it."
"Eh?" The queen withdrew her gaze and looked at King Aeetes in surprise.
“The Golden Fleece itself has always caused us trouble, but after all, it was given by the noble gods, and we cannot give it to others.
But now he is our daughter's brother, a student of the goddess Hecate, and the most valued hero of the goddess of wisdom Athena.
If he passes, let him take it.
Besides, we didn't lose anything, we also got Hermes' flying shoes and Artemis's sacred stone."
When the queen heard this, she thought for a while.
It seems that they really don't lose anything...
"Strange, why do I get so angry when someone else takes the Golden Fleece, but if this child actually takes it, I'd be happy for him?"
After thinking about it carefully, the queen couldn't help but mutter.
King Aeetes thought about it for a while and found that it seemed to be true.
However, the two couldn't figure out the reason, so they finally concluded, "Maybe it's because he is Jason.
I won’t say any more. Come and see, these stones are indeed divine stones. Not only are they beautiful, they even glow in the dark!
......
After saying goodbye to Theseus and the others and explaining his intention to leave, Theseus and the others naturally would not stop him.
So Jason went to the temple of Hecate in the kingdom alone.
On the way there, Jason couldn't help but smile faintly when he thought of Medea.
Medea... This name has been like a nightmare in Jason's heart for a long time.
There was no way, she was Jason's destined disaster.
However, things are different now. Jason would not treat his sister strangely or even fearfully just because of the three words "Medea".
But...after all, this is a hurdle in his heart.
Medea will bring glory to Jason, but at the same time she will also bring destruction to Jason. This is destined to happen.
Therefore, even Jason now can face Medea with a normal mind.
But this does not mean that he can accept Medea completely indifferently.
Medea, who had been with him for many years and was extremely intelligent herself, naturally understood this very clearly.
So Medea understood that she...had to do something.
Medea understood it a long time ago.
Otherwise, let alone a deeper relationship, even as a sister... she couldn't be truly close to Jason!
then,
Jason walked into the temple.
At this moment, the temple of Hecate was extremely quiet.
Because Medea had already sent everyone away before today arrived.
She prayed to the goddess Hecate sincerely in front of her statue.
From a few days ago until today...
Silently waiting for Jason's arrival.
Now Jason entered the temple.
His eyes caught the figure of the young woman with her back to him.
