So, this scene happened.
Jason tied up the bruised thieves with vines, and Nuoyan stood in front of them with a wooden bow in his hand and said, "Now, I need you to swear to the great Olympian gods. As long as you are willing to swear, we will let you go."
Hearing this, the thieves looked at each other, and finally the leader with a big beard said, "Okay, we swear that we will never do such a lowly thing again in our lives, and from now on we will go home and behave ourselves..."
The thieves leader was interrupted by Nuoyan's dissatisfaction before he could finish his words.
"Who asked you to swear this? But it's good that you are ready to retire, so add this condition."
He nodded his head in agreement, and then said, "Listen, from today on, I require you to say the following to the first 100 people you meet:
You used to be a group of lowly thieves, but now you are willing to turn over a new leaf and become good people again. The person who defeats you and corrects the mistakes of your life is called Nuoyan.
He is the student of Chiron, the Centaur Sage in the Pyrrhic Cave, and he will become a great hero famous in Greece in the future!"
After hearing this, the thieves were all dumbfounded.
But looking at the shining sword in Jason's hand, they could only bow their heads and make this oath.
"Very good." Nuoyan nodded with satisfaction, put away the bow and arrow, and cut the thin ropes on their bodies with a knife. At the same time, he threatened: "Remember your oath. If you break it, I think the gods above will definitely punish you accordingly!"
When he released them, he also confiscated all the money and belongings from the thieves.
And when he left, he kidnapped their two best horses.
In this regard, the thieves could only watch with their eyes wide open, angry but not daring to say anything!
Who is the robber? And why do you look so skilled?
After Nuoyan and Jason rode away, a skinny thief couldn't help but ask the bearded thief leader: "Chief, what should we do now?"
"What should we do?" The bearded leader opened his eyes wide, picked up his sword with his beard trembling wildly, and said angrily: "What else can we do now? Of course... go home and farm!"
After all, they had sworn an oath to the gods.
And just to be on the safe side, the god they just promised to swear was not just one, but the twelve main gods of Olympus!
Therefore, even if they were given ten more courages, they would not dare to break their oath.
After leaving, Jason, who rode to Nuoyan's side, couldn't help asking Nuoyan, "Nuoyan, what were you doing just now?"
"What are you doing? I need some money." Nuoyan felt a little confused by the question, so he raised the wool he had taken from the thief and replied, "Who knows how far this place is from your home? I don't want to camp in the wilderness all the time."
"I'm not asking you that. I'm talking about the oaths of those thieves..."
"Oh, you mean that." Nuoyan suddenly realized and said to Jason: "Jason, let me ask you, what is my purpose of going down the mountain?"
"Want to die?"
Nuoyan was speechless, and then said: "Before I die, I have to become a hero first, right?"
Jason nodded.
"What I just did was to pave the way for becoming a hero!"
"Think about it, the steps to becoming a hero usually involve completing a great deed, then being praised by bards, and then spreading the word around the world to gain corresponding honors, right?"
The most important thing is to be able to ascend to the Throne of Heroes!
"Then let me ask you, what is the most important step in this?"
Jason answered without thinking: "It must be to accomplish great feats that others cannot easily accomplish..."
"No, it's actually to be praised by the bards and be remembered forever by the world!" Nuoyan interrupted Jason before he finished speaking and corrected him, "Just think about it, if you have accomplished great deeds, but others don't know about it, and there are no bards singing praises for your achievements, then do you think you will get the corresponding heroic honor?"
Jason was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully and found that there seemed to be some truth to it.
"That's why," Nuoyan said proudly, "I asked them to make such an oath, so that they can publicize my great achievements and let the world know my name."
"But you just dealt with a small thief... and I helped you, can this be called a great achievement?" Jason couldn't help but say again.
"I don't know if it can be considered a great achievement, I just know that rumors will spread quickly." Nuoyan shrugged and said indifferently: "Anyway, the oath is there, they must find at least a hundred people to publicize this matter.
And for the sake of face, they will definitely exaggerate what just happened and glorify me in various ways. After all, if I am too mediocre, it will make them look too bad. "
Jason thought silently for a while, then looked at Nuoyan, his eyes gradually widening.
He is not stupid. To be precise, Jason is actually very smart. After all, in the future he will be able to compete with wise heroes like Odysseus.
So Jason soon understood the meaning of the promise thoroughly.
The next moment he urged his horse back.
"Hey, Jason, where are you going?"
Seeing this, Nuoyan naturally shouted loudly from behind.
"I'll go find them. We defeated them together, so I should have been included in the oath!" Jason replied anxiously.
And in fact, everything is just as promised.
That evening, the thieves who were coming down the mountain met the first passerby.
Immediately, the thieves surrounded the man!
Just when the passerby was looking at these vicious thieves, frightened half to death and thought that he would definitely die today, he heard...
"We used to be a bunch of lowly thieves, but now we just want to be good people!
The hero who defeated us and corrected our mistakes in life is called Nuo Yan! "
So the rumor spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and so the legend began.
Chapter 4 This is the era when God and man coexist!
Argonaut,
Obviously, this is the reason why Nuoyan was willing to make an unbreakable oath to the gods in this era to follow Jason down the mountain and return to the Kingdom of Iolcus with him.
And in fact, there is a part of trickery in the oath of promise.
Because the Argonaut legend shocked the entire ancient Greece and even spread to the modern day. Its essence is that Jason wanted to take back the throne that belonged to him from his uncle Pelias.
Therefore, it is obvious that the oath of promise has successfully tied him to the Argo, and he is therefore destined to board the Argo and leave his own mark in this legend!
But in fact, besides this, Nuoyan has another plan.
Nuoyan realized very early that in this world, in ancient Greece during the Age of Gods, there was a topic that any hero could hardly avoid.
At the same time, it is also the absolute capital for improving the quality of Heroic Spirits and reaching the Throne of Heroes!
That is... God!
That’s right, this is ancient Greece, the Age of the Gods.
This is an era where gods and humans coexist!
.....
.....
Mount Olympus,
Inside the Temple of Destiny.
Atropos, dressed in a loose white Greek-style robe, stood respectfully before the Queen of Heaven, whose beautiful golden curls flowed from under her crown.
Atropos, the eldest of the three goddesses of fate in ancient Greek mythology, is a calm and thoughtful goddess who holds the spindle of fate in her hands and is responsible for cutting off the thread of life.
"Dear Queen Hera..."
Atropos looked at the goddess who suddenly visited him, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, the goddess in charge of marriage and fertility, the co-ruler who shared power with Zeus, and the third generation queen of heaven in ancient Greek mythology - Hera!
He said respectfully, "Excuse me, are you here to tell me something?"
Hera looked at the goddess of fate in white robes with her amber eyes, and said in a gentle but intimidating tone: "Athena asked me to come."
"Lady Goddess of Wisdom?" Atropos was slightly stunned and looked at Hera in confusion.
Hera nodded slightly, her face slightly angry, and said, "In a place called the Kingdom of Iolcus, there lived a king named Pelias. He was in my temple, at my feet, ignoring my existence, and killed a believer who sought refuge from me!"
"I wanted to punish him, but Athena stopped me. She told me that simply sending him to the underworld was not a real punishment."
"He used trickery to usurp the throne from his brother, so the real punishment should be to take away everything he has now and make him lose everything."
Having said this, Hera paused for a moment and looked at the goddess of fate in white robes in front of her again, and said, "I agreed with her. Then Athena told me that you knew someone who could take everything away from that person, and asked me to come here to find you."
Hearing this, the doubt in Atropos' eyes did not disappear, but became even more serious.
Because based on Atropos's understanding of the goddess of wisdom, she thought there was no reason for her to interfere in these matters.
But even so, under the gaze of the Queen of Heaven, Atropos took out the spindle that controlled fate and found the silk thread of King Pelias.
So, she used the power of the goddess of fate to see the person who would replace him and become king in the future - Jason.
And when she took out Jason's thread of destiny and saw his life.
The white-robed goddess of fate finally showed a look of enlightenment in her eyes, and she understood why the goddess of wisdom Athena had left her presence in this matter.
The Legend of the Argonauts...
According to legend, this unsinkable ship was not built by humans, but by gods.
And the goddess who built it was none other than Athena!
Indeed, there is no reason for the goddess who is already quite interested in heroes to let go of such a thing...
Atropos thought so in his heart but did not say it out loud.
She put away the spindle of fate and told Hera everything she had seen.
Hearing this, Hera was silent for a while before asking, "You said that Jason is Chiron's student, and he will replace Pelias and become the new king?"
"Yes, respected Queen." Atropos nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "That child is the legitimate heir to the throne, and his parents, the former king and queen, are your most loyal believers."
"And I also see that in the future, he will bring you, the respected Queen of Heaven, honors as dazzling as the stars in the sky!"
"I see..." Hera nodded slightly with a faint smile on her face.
"It seems like it's time for me to go to the human world."
Soon, under the gaze of Atropos, Hera left the Temple of Fate.
Atropos had no time to breathe a sigh of relief.
"elder sister......"
Then the goddess of fate, also dressed in a white robe, walked out of the temple and came before Atropos.
"Krotho..." Atropos looked at Clotho who came to him holding the thread of fate.
The youngest of the three goddesses of fate.
She is also the most famous goddess who controls the future of the thread of fate... In simple terms, she is the god that Westerners pray to the goddess of fate for leniency at the last minute.
Confused, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Sister, I realize that you seemed to have seen it wrong just now." Clotho raised the thread in his hand, which represented the thread of destiny of Hera, the Queen of Heaven, and said, "I see that the one who can bring glory to the Queen of Heaven like the stars in the sky is not Jason.
It was another student under Chiron..."
"His name seems to be..."
......
......
"Your name is Nuoyan, right?"
Beside the stream under the stars at night.
Under the light of the campfire, Jason and Nuoyan traveled for nearly half a month.
Finally, I met the expected existence today.
A goddess!
Under the moonlight and bonfire, the silver-haired, golden-eyed goddess in a flawless white dress looked at the two young men who were staring at her blankly and seemed a little unprepared for her sudden appearance...
In fact, she originally came for Jason.
She was going to tell Jason what he was going to face next.
And help Jason to grasp that hope.
That is the greatest asset for regaining the throne!
