Type-Moon Demon King exploded Elle's gold coins at the beginning!

"Thanks, my good brother. Although you are leaving, I, Hercules, will always remember this favor."

The resolute man gripped the potion in his hand, nodded solemnly, and then strode step by step into the city.

That night, as darkness fell, the sounds of ghosts wailing and howling never stopped.

Early the next morning, a large group of heroes, without even wearing clothes, ran out of the city with their bodies so thin they were practically skin and bones, their faces haggard and panicked.

Holy crap, I spent 10 hours straight last night! It's like a machine gun, it explodes at the slightest touch! How can anyone stand that?!

Fortunately, they weren't ordinary people; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have even made it to morning and would have been washed away completely. (Laughs)

PS......

LOL, it's almost May Day, be careful not to overdo it!

Chapter 67 features Medea Lily, another petite character? Hmm, why "another"?

In the end, Ta Miao did not leave with Li Lin.

There is no other reason.

She didn't want to do anything half-heartedly; once she chose something, she should stick with it.

It's like hunting; as a hunter, you should be unwavering.

Otherwise, if she gives up at the first sign of difficulty, then Atalanta wouldn't be worthy of being a follower of the moon goddess.

Li Lin expressed his respect for this.

In any case, this journey on the Argo will be basically safe for Ta-Miao.

Or perhaps, in fact, Ta-Miao is the rarer kind of character who gets a peaceful end.

After all, those who know about Greek heroic history understand it.

Compared to a certain major power to the east, the heroes of Greece are often portrayed with tragic elements.

Hercules was like that, and Jason could be too.

Basically, anyone who is famous or has accomplished a great honor will have some tragic moments embellishing their resume.

Some of these people brought disaster upon themselves, such as Jason in the later stages of the Argo.

He was driven by greed for power and wealth, and by his fickle nature, which led him to abandon his wife and ultimately meet his end by being crushed to death by a ship plank.

Some people, however, are completely controlled by fate.

In the same story as the Argonauts, the most representative character is Medea.

She was clearly a princess of a country, and had even studied advanced divine magic under the great goddess Hecate.

But because of a game of the gods, he was forced to become a bloodstained knife on Jason's path to growth.

Li Lin's goal this time is to go directly to the Kingdom of Colchis, the final destination, and participate in this game as a "god".

Didn't you want to get the Golden Fleece?

can.

But what kind of adventure is it if everything goes smoothly and you're always helped by the gods?

If you want the ultimate glory, you have to take it for yourself.

After all, Li Lin is not someone who enjoys tragedy.

He was even willing to help Jason if everything could go in a positive direction.

......

At this moment, Li Lin, with the power of a god, traversed many regions and finally arrived at the Kingdom of Colchis.

It is worth mentioning that the Kingdom of Colchis was not located in Greece or near the Aegean Sea, but in a country located at the easternmost edge of the Black Sea [within present-day Georgia].

The distance is so great that even heroes would need many years to cover it on foot, if it were just for ordinary people.

...

In the royal hall, because Li Lin appeared directly in the world as a god, he naturally attracted great attention and hospitality from his king, Aeetes.

I won't go into details about the banquet.

Afterwards, Li Lin didn't hide anything and told King Aeetes about the Golden Fleece.

When the old man heard that a group of people were on their way to rob him, he panicked.

Although he was confident that his army was not bad either.

But as Li Lin said, this is a game played by the gods, and his country, and even his family, are just pawns in this game.

King Aeetes pondered for a long time.

In the end, they decided to ask Li Lin for help.

After all, although the person in front of him was also a god, the fact that he was willing to tell him about things in advance meant that there was definitely still a chance for things to turn around.

Seeing King Aeetes striding towards him, Li Lin nodded to himself. The old man was not unintelligent; he knew that the one who tied the knot must untie it.

Therefore, Li Lin simply spoke his mind directly.

He bluntly stated that he couldn't control the Golden Fleece, and that it was better to relinquish it to ensure his safety than to become a victim in the game of the gods.

Of course, giving it away for free won't work either.

The Greek gods desired obstacles that could be overcome, not easy and cheap glory.

Therefore, if King Aeetes had dared to give it away for free, his fate would certainly have been even worse.

After hearing Li Lin's explanation, King Aeetes was dumbfounded.

Damn it, I can't pay, and I can't not pay. I'm starting to seriously doubt if you're messing with me.

"Then what should I do, Your Excellency?"

"According to you, doesn't this mean I can only wait to die?"

King Aeetes looked utterly dejected, as if he had lost his own son; his face practically screamed "Damn it!"

Well, if history really goes as it should, he really will lose his son, and he'll be killed by his own daughter.

"It's not as complicated as you think."

"Since I've taken the initiative to contact you, there must be a solution."

Li Lin said calmly.

"I will stay in your country and act as a 'hero.' As for what happens next, you don't need to worry about it; I'll handle it."

"Thank you for your great help!"

Upon hearing this, King Aeetes was overjoyed and immediately summoned his daughter, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

“This is my daughter, Medea. She has just returned from studying with the great goddess Hecate. If you need anything, you can tell her. I guarantee that I can accomplish anything.”

Li Lin glanced at the old man without any surprise.

That's the good thing about the Greeks; when faced with someone powerful or someone who has done them a great favor, they would readily give away their daughters or maids.

A prime example is the story of Hercules having sex with 50 of a king's daughters in one night!

Although Aeetes only said here that Medea should be in charge of Lilin's logistics.

But what exactly constitutes 'logistics' is a matter of opinion.

After King Aeetes left, Li Lin looked at Medea, who was standing motionless in the hall, and was a little troubled.

At this time, Medea was in the process of growing from a little girl into a mature woman.

You can still vaguely see traces of youth on her face. She is not wearing the black witch's robe that we are familiar with, but a light blue swallowtail dress. She wears a small crown on her head, and tightly hugs a crescent-shaped staff that is at least as tall as a person to her small chest.

Yes, it's Medea Lily~~.

"Come here a little bit."

Li Lin waved to Medea, signaling her to come a little closer.

"Um, may I ask if there's anything I can help you with?"

At this time, Medea's personality was still quite immature, soft and gentle, and her reserved appearance was like that of a junior high school student, which was kind of cute.

"No, it's nothing. I just wanted to ask if you'd like to learn magic from me."

"Huh? Magic?"

Upon hearing this, Medea blinked her blue eyes, looking completely bewildered.

Dude, you mean you want to teach magic to someone who just graduated from the hands of the goddess of magic?

Is this, is this right?

"Yes, it's magic, but magic that's different from traditional magic."

Li Lin seemed to have read what the other person was thinking, so he smiled and said.

"I wouldn't say she surpasses the great goddess, but her ultimate achievements will certainly be no less than those of ordinary gods."

"So, what's your answer?"

PS.................

Hecate: Damn it, you're trying to steal my girl, aren't you? Come on, let's have a go!

Chapter 68, Radiant Magic: A magician who can't fight in close combat isn't a good magician.

"You mean you want to teach magic to someone who has already graduated from the tutelage of the 'Goddess of Magic,' Hecate?"

After hearing Li Lin's question, Medea was uncharacteristically speechless.

Dude, how could you possibly say something like that?

Although Medea was just a mortal, well, at most a demigod, when it came to the realm of magic, she had never been afraid of anyone.

Even if Li Lin were a god, she would still have confidence in this matter.

After all, gods have their own 'powers', and almost none of them would delve into 'magic' as a lower-level substitute.

Therefore, Medea was very confident that, in terms of magical skill alone, she was absolutely no less skilled than the gods. [Except for Hecate]

"What, you don't believe it?"

Li Lin looked at the girl in front of him with amusement.

The other person's smirking expression made Li Lin want to make a bet.

"Well then, no one will believe it if it's just talk."

"How about we make a bet?"

"I will teach you magic, and before the Argo arrives, I will help you grow into someone who can at least rival the gods."

"And if you succeed, you'll need to become my apprentice. If you fail, I'll grant you one request—well, anything goes. How about it?"

“Okay, it’s a deal.” Medea lowered her head and thought for a moment, then agreed.

She wanted to see if Li Lin's "magic trick" was actually working.

As a disciple of the great goddess Hecate, she was still somewhat arrogant.

.....

In this way, the two, who were originally rather unfamiliar with each other, suddenly became much closer because of learning new magic tricks.

It was from this day that Medea discovered that Li Lin was not actually a traditional deity.

He's not arrogant at all; on the contrary, he has the feel of a friendly older brother next door.

"First, the first step I'm going to teach you is to condense something called [Aura].

In the back garden of the palace, Li Lin sat on a pavilion chair and slowly spoke to Medea beside him.

"As everyone knows, the so-called Divine Age Magic uses special magic circles to leverage the great magical power of the world, and then uses [Imitation] to unleash effects that are like the power of gods."

"So the question is, how do we calculate the 'mystery' involved?"

"The more ancient and mysterious something is, the greater the power it can unleash."
