Even Lorelai, who was known as the Queen, was speechless at this moment.
Only Marisbili Animusfia had an ugly expression on his face, and the ring that was originally in his hand was gone.
Fortunately, with the evil suggestion of Mr. Jewel, he can still be the master of the legendary Magic King Solomon.
only......
Can the original plan still be realized?
As everyone was looking on with solemnity, anticipation, amazement, and nervousness, the Magic King finally arrived completely.
"I see, this is..."
1. Sisyphus
"Sisyphus, are you awake?"
Before my eyes, a blond boy appeared, with a smile that looked like he was asking for a beating.
Calling him a teenager may not be quite appropriate, as he seems to be some distance away from being a teenager in the true sense, but he is no longer a child.
As for myself...
Russell lowered his head, glanced at his body a few times, and then he understood.
It seems that I am about the same age.
But Sisyphus...
Russell had heard of this name.
In Homer's epic poems, Sisyphus is the most resourceful man on earth, the builder and king of Corinth.
He was once thrown into hell for revealing Zeus's secrets, but escaped from the underworld because of his own wisdom.
Known as "the man who strangles death by the throat."
However, the most famous legend about him is the punishment from the gods.
The gods asked Sisyphus to push a huge rock from the foot of the mountain to the top every day. However, because the rock was too heavy, it always rolled down the mountain before reaching the top, and all his efforts were wasted.
So he kept doing this over and over again, endlessly.
The gods believed that there was no more severe punishment than to perform such useless and hopeless labor.
They decided to let Sisyphus' life slowly consume in such a useless and hopeless labor.
"So, how did the words alpha, omega, omniscience, and omnipotence become associated with Sisyphus?"
Russell no longer had any hope for the so-called key words of the trial.
But he still had expectations for this trial.
Greece......
This is a golden age where heroes emerge in large numbers.
If you want to build bonds with heroes, this era is definitely the best one to meet this need.
There are definitely quite a few people who can form a bond with him.
and......
The blond boy in front of me looked very familiar.
"You are......"
"Sisyphus, have you been fooled by the god of dreams? I have never seen anyone sleep so deeply."
The blond boy's tone was filled with mockery and surprise.
"I'm Jason! This morning, when Teacher Chiron was taking us out for a class, he found you on the road. You didn't react at the time, just repeating the name Sisyphus..."
"Come to think of it, your name should be Sisyphus, right?"
In Pindar's legend, Jason was raised by Chiron.
Is this trial also based on this legend?
But, something was wrong.
Something is very wrong...
Are Sisyphus and Jason from the same era or the same age?
Russell recalled the legend associated with Sisyphus.
This was the most resourceful man, who founded Corinth and became its king.
In Corinth, Sisyphus organized the Games.
It was also in Corinth that Jason, in the original myth, abandoned his wife and children.
There is a saying that Sisyphus' son is Odysseus, the protagonist of Homer's famous epic "The Odyssey".
and his descendant, Bellerophon, who tamed the Pegasus and was punished by Zeus for attempting to ride Pegasus to Olympus.
Beyond that, there doesn't seem to be much reference.
However, Sisyphus's time should be slightly earlier than Jason's.
Now...
Under the influence of the Holy Savior, has even the timeline of the trial changed?
"Excuse me, Jason, but please call me Sisyphus."
Russell's exceptionally polite response made Jason feel a little uncomfortable.
He was raised and taught by Teacher Chiron, and he knew well the character of the "heroes" who gathered to study under Teacher Chiron.
He eats meat and drinks wine with big mouthfuls, has a heroic temperament, is impulsive and irritable, and values reputation more than life and death.
They are almost all types that are the opposite of his personality.
What is even more difficult for Jason to accept is that such heroes are often particularly likely to gain the favor of the gods.
It's even particularly easy to make a name for yourself.
Jason was a little surprised to see someone as humble and polite as Russell.
"No... Then I'll call you Sisyphus, and you can call me Jason. By the way, where are you from?"
"If we can study together with Teacher Chiron, would you like to go on adventures with me in the future? Let me tell you something, I am a king."
At this age, Jason had already begun his journey of winning over heroes and preparing to regain the throne.
"If you follow me in the future, I will not be stingy with wealth, power or beauty."
In response, Russell just laughed dumbly: "I've heard of your name. It seems that your throne has been usurped by your father's half-brother?"
Speaking of which, Greek mythology seems to be quite open in this regard.
Half-brothers, or half-brothers, are considered full brothers.
Therefore, Jason's father trusted his brother, which led to rebellion.
“…You bastard!”
Yi'an Asong, whose true identity was exposed, turned pale and purple at this moment, and his face changed color continuously as he became angry and embarrassed.
"Do you look down on me like those people?!"
Jason was indeed not an expert in combat.
Therefore, in the eyes of Teacher Chiron, Jason, who was not a combat genius, was looked down upon.
His true talents, wisdom in desperate situations, and unconventional, sub-species leadership qualities, are not readily available here.
Now, I finally saw a newcomer, but I still knew his background.
At this moment, Jason's face was red and his teeth were gritting.
"No, quite the opposite."
At this moment, a hearty smile appeared on the boy's face, making people feel as refreshed as drinking a glass of iced lemonade under the scorching sun at noon in August.
"I believe that you possess considerable talent. As long as you manage things properly, reclaiming the throne is a sure thing for you."
"..."
After a moment's silence, Jason showed a look of astonishment.
"Do you really think I'm a talented person?"
"Yes, I believe you have what it takes to become the King of Excellence that is praised by others, and to repeat it again."
In Russell's eyes, the panel in front of him quietly reappeared.
[Jason's Favorability +80]
[Jason: 80 (confidant)]
I'm not lying. Although Jason behaves a bit like a clown, he does have talent.
The glory of its heroes is also brilliant.
However, there were too many brilliant heroes on that Argo.
as well as......
Since you can gain a bond, it’s better not to let this person be cursed and complete that unhappy marriage.
After all, Medea should also be someone who can brush up on bonds, right?
Those gods, and heroes like Hercules, Atalanta, Achilles...
This era really suits his needs.
2. Small universe
"You're quite a nice person."
In response to Russell's affirmation, Jason blurted out these words after holding it in for a long time.
Is it strange and good?
Feeling his own strength, Russell said thoughtfully, "Since it was the Centaur Sage who saved me, could you please take me to see him and express my gratitude?"
"Leave this little thing to me, Jason!"
Jason, still a young boy, jumped onto a nearby boulder, pointed in the distance, and said, "Piliwen Cave, that's where the teacher lives in seclusion. Come with me!"
"..."
With a smile on his face, Russell followed Jason.
At the same time, he also felt the power within his body.
Really...
The power of the bond with Ereshkigal and Ishtar was restricted.
To call it a restriction is not quite accurate.
Because the powers of the underworld, Venus, love and beauty here all have owners.
The bonuses that bonds provide to oneself are not affected by this.
However, if one were to use power that needed to be displayed to the outside world, which could also be called authority, it would probably alarm the owner of the same power field.
In summary, it can be used, but trouble will come after using it.
At that time, we need to see what version of the gods of Mount Olympus here is. If it is still a fleet, it will be troublesome.
Fortunately...
His biggest trump card can still be used.
In the root, that golden figure still shines for him.
and......
In this trial, Russell couldn't help but be surprised by the starting rewards he drew.
