The main reason was that the other party was Hercules, who had taken great care of him in the past and was also his best senior brother.
So Jason almost forced himself to give these things to Hercules.
"Brother, once you get the golden apple, ride your Pegasus directly to the Caucasus Mountains. I will be waiting for you there.
By the way, when you meet Lord Prometheus, you can ask him what the next trial is. Lord Prometheus will definitely know.
I tell you not to be so passive. Listen to me. After knowing all the trials, go and complete each trial first.
When the time comes, we will bring them back to face Eurystheus. He didn't mention a trial, but we took out the corresponding items to indicate that it was completed.
We must turn passivity into initiative, taking the initiative is the best option!"
Hercules listened to Jason's words and nodded silently.
Although he felt it was a little strange, he couldn't put his finger on why, and at the same time, there was some truth to it...
After a brief thought, Eurystheus mentioned the trial, and he completed the task on the spot. Then the other party's surprised look...
You know what, it seems to be really cool!
After watching Hercules and Pegasus go away, Jason turned back to look at the golden-horned deer and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you again for the rest of the journey, Sister Deer."
The golden-horned deer bleated softly, came to Jason's side, and rubbed him gently.
The golden-horned deer was obviously very happy to be able to travel with Jason again.
Next, the golden-horned deer took Jason to the Caucasus Mountains.
At the same time, because he temporarily lent the guide given to him by Athena to Hercules, Jason didn't know whether he was walking on the right path during the following period of time. Anyway, he handed it over to Sister Lu.
With the gods in heaven watching over us, it's impossible to get lost.
After a few days, Sister Lu took Jason past a coastal city-state called Troy.
Trojan War,
That's right, this is the place in the near future where the most famous war between heroes in Greek mythology broke out.
Because Jason knew a little about Greek mythology, he naturally knew about the war.
And the reasons why war breaks out.
The golden apple dedicated to the most beautiful goddess...
At the same time, Jason thought of Achilles, the most famous hero in this war.
A hero known for his unrivaled strength and immortality, whose only fatal weakness was his ankle.
I wonder if I'll ever meet him in my lifetime, this hero who's only surpassed by Hercules in ancient Greek mythology...
Jason, who had no idea that Achilles' mother was the sea goddess Thetis, couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind.
Later, Jason, who had no interest in going into the city, was about to leave with Sister Lu.
On the way, Jason heard from a passing hunter what was happening in Troy.
"It's tomorrow, isn't it? Princess Hesione is so pitiful..."
"That's right, you're sacrificing your life at such a young age."
"Hush, don't talk nonsense! That's a sacrifice to the great Poseidon, the king of the sea. It's a sacred honor!"
"But I heard that it was King Laomedon's fault. He was the first to break his promise to the great sea king Poseidon, so Poseidon sent sea monsters to attack the city of Troy."
"Anyway, let's stay away from the city for a while. I wonder if the great Poseidon, the Sea King, will calm down his anger..."
Whether it is himself in white clothes as white as snow, or the golden-horned deer of the moon goddess Artemis, disguise will bring great trouble.
Therefore, during his journey, Jason would perform sleight of hand... After all, he was the apprentice of the magic goddess Hecate, and even if he was only a novice, he knew some magic.
Especially the life-saving techniques like sleight of hand, Jason naturally studied them hard in his early years.
So when Jason happened to overhear such a thing, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He then looked at the golden-horned deer, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Sister Deer, did you come here because of the guidance of some great god?"
The golden-horned deer shook his head at Jason.
Jason thought for a moment and then said, "Sister Deer, is there any great god looking for me now?"
The golden-horned deer shook his head at Jason again.
Seeing this, Jason fell silent.
"Then Sister Lu, let's go."
The golden-horned deer stared at Jason for a while, then slowly nodded.
She took Jason and continued towards the Caucasus Mountains.
But this time she walked much slower.
Because she knew that Jason would stop her sooner or later.
At sunset, when the city of Troy gradually disappeared from sight, Jason called out to Sister Deer in the quiet ancient forest.
He said he wanted to rest tonight.
Sister Deer stopped obediently and quietly accompanied Jason.
Until time passed and it was late at night.
Under the moonlight, Sister Lu fell asleep and slept until early morning.
When the first ray of sunrise shone on Sister Deer, the golden-horned deer opened her eyes and found that Jason was gone.
Sister Lu was not panicked by this. She looked around and when she didn't find Jason, she lowered her head and sniffed Jason's scent.
Turning around, he headed towards the coast of Troy.
Almost at the same time, the beautiful princess named Hesione was tied to a rock high on the coast, with a gloomy and desperate look on her face, quietly waiting for death to come.
The soldiers and civilians around had already left because they were afraid of the sea monster.
"I feel like...I shouldn't actually be here."
Following a soft whisper in her ear, Hesione suddenly looked up in disbelief, and a man appeared beside her.
When Hesione saw the handsome man reflected in her beautiful blue eyes, her first reaction was that she had met Apollo, the god of light.
After all, bathed in the first rays of sunlight rising from the sea, the blond and blue-eyed Jason looked so dazzling.
Jason ignored Hesione's reaction and just muttered to himself, "After all, I didn't receive any oracle this time... But if I really don't care, what if my companions on the Argo find out?
I just showed what a true hero is. Even if it means revealing my true nature, it will take some time... Isn't that right?"
Jason said this and turned his head to look at Hesione.
Before Hesione could say anything to Jason, Jason said, "Oh, Princess Hesione, when you return this time, go and persuade your father. I have learned that it was your father who broke the contract first.
At the same time, I also asked Lord Hermes to help persuade Lord Poseidon... Because of this incident, his participation in the play was canceled, and I suffered a great loss."
Jason said this with a slightly unhappy expression on his face.
The reason for this is actually quite simple.
Poseidon, the god of the sea, once helped Laomedon build the walls of Troy, but King Laomedon was stingy and did not pay him.
In retaliation, Poseidon sent sea monsters to trample the land, devour people and animals, and intend to destroy Troy.
By the time King Laomedon regretted his actions, hoped that Poseidon, the king of the sea, would calm down his anger, and expressed his willingness to pay a reward, it was already too late.
So in desperation, following the advice of the prophet in the palace, Laomedon had to offer up his beautiful daughter Hesione.
I hope to gain forgiveness from Poseidon, the king of the sea, in this way.
Hesione did not respond to Jason's words because her mind was in a mess. She stared blankly at Jason who suddenly appeared in front of her.
There is only one thought in my mind.
Such a handsome man must be Lord Apollo, the God of Light.
"Lord Apollo, the great god of light, are you here to save me?!" Hesione said to Jason excitedly.
"Sorry, I'm not."
Jason shrugged at Hesione and replied, "I am not the great god of light, Apollo."
"Isn't it? But you are so handsome..."
Hesione looked at Jason in disbelief.
"Um...thank you?"
Jason smiled and said to Hesione: "But I'm sorry, I'm really not the great god of light Apollo, I am..."
As he was speaking, there was a loud noise that rushed out to sea.
A giant beast emerged from the sea with its huge body, facing the morning sun, and came to Hesione and Jason, whose faces had turned pale.
This is a terrifying giant snake.
With their tongues spitting out, the two huge snakes stared at Hesione and Jason in front of them.
"...Are you really not Lord Apollo, the God of Light?"
Hesione turned and looked at Jason again, and asked Jason with the last bit of hope in her heart.
"I'm sorry, I'm really not."
Jason's answer extinguished the last glimmer of hope in her heart.
"Then hurry and go... I am Hesione, the Trojan princess offered to you as a sacrifice, the messenger of the great Poseidon."
The desperate Hesione said to the giant snake with a wry smile, "This man has nothing to do with me. I hope my life can calm the wrath of the great Poseidon, the king of the sea!"
The giant snake was obviously spiritual and it listened to Hesione's words.
Then he glanced at Jason.
Then it opened its big mouth, let out a shrill cry, moved its body out of the sea little by little, and circled around Jason and Hesione.
The scarlet eyes stared straight at the two of them, spitting out snake-like tongues.
Jason remained unfazed and said to the serpent, "I understand that you, following Poseidon's orders, have destroyed and devoured most of the people of Troy.
You have done well enough, Lord Poseidon, the God of the Sea, will not blame you.
I have asked Lord Hermes to find Lord Poseidon, the God of the Sea. I believe he will now accept the tribute from Troy as an apology.
Your mission is over!"
Jason's calmness made Hesione beside him stunned.
But the giant snake obviously didn't care about so much. It just felt that Jason was annoying. It roared at Jason and Hesione, and then opened its mouth to bite Jason.
The giant beast opened its huge mouth, and at this moment it seemed to swallow up even the light. Jason and Hesione below it welcomed darkness.
At the same moment, Hesione had already closed her eyes, ready to face the end... one second, two seconds passed.
Hesione, who didn't feel any pain, opened her eyes in confusion.
Then she saw an extremely horrifying scene.
All she saw above was the enormous form of the serpent coiling around her.
But no matter how it bit, no matter how it used its huge body to press on the two, even if one of its teeth was broken, it could not devour Hesione and Jason.
Because of a golden shield, a golden field was formed to protect the two people.
That is the hardest shield in the world, a gift from Athena - the Aegis!
Just as Hesione was looking at the scene in front of her, she was slightly stunned.
There was a soft sound beside her ear.
Jason drew out the sword hanging from his waist. The sword was fused with the stone that had been swallowed by the second god-king instead of Zeus, thus covering its original black color and making it look extremely holy - the sword that kills gods!
Now, Jason had sufficient reason to attack the beast.
So in Hesione's sight, Jason, who seemed so small compared to the giant snake, rushed out from the protection of the aegis.
Holding the holy sword, he easily cut open the scales on the giant snake, causing it unimaginable pain and spilling blood all over the ground.
As a result, the giant snake's body began to roll violently.
But no matter how it swung its huge body, it could not hurt Hesione who was protected by the shield under its body.
