I'm in Type-Moon, how can I let you bully me?

So Jason had already built the Argo?

Russell smiled in surprise.

Before they parted, he had already reminded Jason that his uncle would not give up the throne so easily, and would even use the most despicable means.

I thought that after Jason had some preparation for this, there would be some changes.

Unexpectedly, it is still like this?

Then, go ask this old friend of yours.

......

"Does the Great Sage Chiron know about this? Master Jason once studied under him. Among his many heroic disciples, he was the most powerful and proficient in all arts. He was also the hero that the Great Sage Chiron believed was most capable of inheriting his legacy and surpassing him!"

Jason, standing on a huge ship, was talking incessantly about his "glorious deeds".

However, there was no exclamation from below as he expected.

Instead, voices of doubt were raised.

"But I heard that the true successor, the one who will surpass the great sage Chiron, is Sisyphus, who conquered the Gorgon with his wisdom."

"nonsense!"

Jason's face flushed immediately and he retorted loudly.

"Can you possibly understand me as someone involved? Sisyphus was merely the most resourceful man! He relied solely on his wisdom, but I, the most complete hero, am the most complete hero. Whoever asked that question just now? Stand up!"

"it's me."

"Oh, it's you, Sisyphus. Hahaha, why didn't you tell me earlier..."

23. You are very brave

"Jason, you're making up stories again..."

The voice that came from nowhere made Jason's face turn red.

He stiffened his neck and argued, "Is it something between friends that can be called making things up?"

Then came words like "Why do we have to divide things between friends into so many parts?", "Do we have to fight over who is the main force and who is the easy winner in every matter?", "Everyone has their own focus and strengths, and I am also very talented", etc., which made all the heroes present burst into laughter.

Jason didn't care about any of this. All he saw was Russell's long-lost, familiar smile.

He turned over and jumped off the boat, then enthusiastically jumped in front of Russell with an ambiguous smile on his face.

"Sisyphus, I heard you've become very brave..."

"I've heard rumors about those poets!"

His voice became passionate, and he raised Russell's hand high in the air, preaching to the heroes around him.

"The man who conquered the monster of the Invisible Island—the Gorgon—with his wisdom, and won the heart of the goddess, is my best friend, Sisyphus!!!"

"Oh——"

It seems that the goddess's publicity is very effective.

Russell was surprised to find that the heroes present or the people who came to witness this grand event all knew his name and exclaimed in surprise at the right time.

Jason's face was full of pride, as if the cheers and exclamations around him were not for Russell, but for him.

His smile became more and more exaggerated, and even while accepting the cheers, he began to tease Russell in a low voice: "Well, I told you that your future would definitely be related to women... or goddesses..."

This is not a power like prophecy.

Jason simply felt that with Sisyphus's level of charm, it was highly likely that he would be noticed by women or goddesses.

If Jason hadn't felt that his friend's strange charm seemed to be particularly effective only on goddesses, he would have been a little afraid of the famous Greek God King showing up.

"Come on board with me! Sisyphus!!!"

Jason's voice was filled with passionate power.

He raised Russell's right hand forcefully so that people around him could notice it, and then he spoke loudly.

"With a great hero like you here, our voyage will definitely go down in history!!!"

"correct......"

When the announcement was over, Jason leaned in front of Russell again and whispered.

"That guy, Asclepius, was the first one among our four best friends to board my ship. Hum, I thought you, the first one to sneak away, would be the first one to board my ship..."

"What are you waiting for?"

Russell looked at the largest ship in Greece today, built under the protection of the goddess Athena, and felt a little curious.

After noticing the specialness of the ship itself, Russell couldn't help but have an idea.

Could this ship be modeled after the Mecha God's true form?

Shaking his head and putting this bizarre idea behind him, Russell's lips curled up into a happy smile.

"I can't wait to be captain..."

"Sisyphus, I am the captain!"

......

"You came?"

A familiar voice sounded in the cabin.

Then, the familiar, now disheveled figure of Asclepius appeared before Russell.

His face was filled with pain and confusion, bewilderment and incomprehension, as if he was trapped in some inescapable maze of thoughts, unable to extricate himself.

Russell was startled, and he remembered something.

There should be only one medical problem that can trap Asclepius -

Resurrection potion.

However, now, when Medusa had not yet transformed into the Gorgon, Asclepius should not have been given the Gorgon's blood by Athena, and thus could not have made the resurrection potion.

So......

Russell frowned slightly and asked, "Asclepius, what are you doing..."

"..."

After a period of silence, Asclepius slowly recounted his experiences and worries.

"After parting with you, I have been traveling in this world, searching for various herbs and trying to find treatments for various difficult and complicated diseases, but..."

"Ugh......"

In this sigh, Russell felt the complex and changeable emotions of Asclepius, whose tone was originally monotonous and calm.

"There are still diseases that cannot be cured. I know that even with the most advanced medical technology, there will still be people who cannot be saved. But at some point—"

"Perhaps it was the moment I witnessed a patient's death, the moment I went to a hospital knowing of a difficult-to-treat case only to be told the patient had already passed away, the moment family and friends expressed their sorrow in front of a patient whose condition was beyond saving, or the moment a patient sank into a state of despair..."

"I, came up with an idea..."

Asclepius' tone was very calm at this moment, but his eyes were more lively than ever.

"I want to bring the dead back to life."

"As expected of you, Asclepius!"

The two of us might get along very well.

Russell recalled that in the original story of Sisyphus, he imprisoned the god of death by deception so that there would be no more death in the world.

In a sense, they are the Dragon and the Phoenix.

The positive meaning of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick.

"Overcoming death like this offends the realm of the gods."

At this moment, Russell told Asclepius about the crisis he might face, but he also knew in his heart that his friend would never give up.

"Be careful of divine punishment."

"Rather than worrying about divine punishment, I'm more worried about not being able to find the materials needed to research this drug that can resurrect the dead."

Because of this, Asclepius was distressed and sad, so he hid in the cabin with disheveled hair and dirty face until Russell came and showed up.

"I boarded Jason's ship to travel around the world in search of possible materials... What is this..."

He looked at the liquid in Russell's hand that was emitting a gorgeous purple light, and a gleam of light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

This might be one of the materials I need...

Inexplicably, a thought of his own emerged in Asclepius's mind.

Russell gently shook the small bottle of enchanting purple liquid in his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he introduced it.

"Just think of it as the blood of the Gorgon..."

"A Gorgon?"

24. Look behind you

"When I was studying with Teacher Chiron, I noticed that you had some intentions in this area."

Russell said softly with a smile as gentle as spring breeze on his face.

Gorgon is a complete monster.

Therefore, it is impossible for this blood to appear now that the three sisters are still living on the Invisible Island.

but......

But it appeared.

It was created by Russell by mixing a very small amount of the blood of Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale during exchanges of skills, special occasions, or after making a request. After Russell's experiments, he also added some of the power of Medusa's Eye, which was carried by "tears".

Perhaps it's still different from the original Gorgon's blood, but...

Even Asclepius, who had originally created the true resurrection potion, did not fully master the true method of making the resurrection potion.

“Perhaps other hidden elements are needed.”

This is what the original Asclepius would say, because after all, the successful creation of the resurrection potion was not due to his medical skills alone, but was made possible by a variety of factors and coincidences.

In short, even if Asclepius were to replicate the recipe exactly, it would probably be impossible to reproduce it.

So, this small accident that the blood of Gorgon may be different from the original one should not have a significant impact on the successful research and development of Asclepius, right?

should......

As Russell was thinking this, he heard the voice of Asclepius, which sounded complex and full of admiration.

"Sisyphus, is this the reason you took the risk to challenge that terrifying Gorgon?"

what?

Russell was a little stunned. He went to the "challenge" mainly because he knew that his combat power should not be overturned, and also to improve the favorability of the three who would obviously form a bond.

But the thing about Asclepius...

It seems that I did it after thinking of it.

I didn't expect Asclepius to think this way...

Russell was about to clarify the misunderstanding, but when he saw Asclepius's rising favorability on the panel, he stopped what he was doing.

[Asclepius Favorability +6]

I have to say it, Asclepius, I give full marks to your imagination skills.

Correct!

That's it! He has to do it on his own! That way he can save himself a lot of trouble.

Russell nodded with satisfaction and said, "No, Asclepius, that's not why I'm searching for the Invisible Island..."

"I know."

[Asclepius Favorability +1]
