60. Banquet
Qi Wuce departed, just as he came and went softly, and with a wave of his fist, he took away all the belongings of Eros.
Medea, of course, wanted to find Qi Wu, who had disappeared, but Aeetes wittily stunned Medea, who no longer knew where she was floating, and locked her in a special room after feeding her medicine.
As a king with good political achievements, Aeetes must not be weak in thinking, and it only took a while to guess the purpose of these things—the Olympian gods finally couldn't help but attack his emaciated camel-like father.
Although he didn't know why Qi Wuce, who had just been entertained for a while, would dare to go against the entire Olympus for their Colchis, this did not prevent Qi Wuce's status in his mind from improving.
The banquet took place as scheduled, and when the intact Iason and his teammates stood in the palace of Aetes again, even Aetes, who was already angry with the gods of Olympus, had to weigh it up.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that the bandits sent by the gods on the Argo already had the strength to destroy half of Colchis, and for Colchis, the land he loved, Aeetes had spent most of his life, even if he saw a little damage to the country, he would be heartbroken, and the Argo bandits plus the gods behind them, Aetes could only compromise temporarily.
And Qi Wuce, who was good at disguise, also pretended to be a noble lord early and quietly blended into the crowd, and there was actually an undercurrent surging at the unique banquet.
"It's a noisy day!" sighed softly, picked up the brass wine glass in his hand, even the turbid wine was a little rippling, took a big sip, Qi Wuru tasted the food in front of him, based on the cultural gap, the food here in Greece is much more delicious than the Irish side, of course, these foods are definitely not as good as his cooking skills.
Eating food silently, maybe he would have to show up later, and those gods didn't know what it meant to be good.
At the banquet of laughter and laughter, the crowd on the Argo and the crowd on Colchis drank and farted, and the scene was so discordant.
Aetes, on the other hand, was on pins and needles, on the lookout for robbers and gods, and his grandson, Argos, had informed him of the arrival of Argo's crew.
Sure enough, just as the feast was in full swing to its fullest, under the watchful eye of Aetes, Iason finally spoke, he was already aware of Argos's whispering, for which he had to say a few words to stabilize the tense situation: "Rest assured, Aetes, we have not come to your city, your country, and your palace, and we have not come to rob, who wants to wander across the sea, go through such a treacherous voyage to seize other people's property, just to make himself rich, It is poor fate and the orders of the tyrant that have pushed me down this path, and if you wish to give me the Golden Fleece, all the people of Greece will praise you for it, and we will surely repay you for your kindness, and if you are in war then you can consider us your allies, and we will fight for you! ”
After a few words, Iason shifted the blame to nothing, and said nothing about his ability to reclaim the throne with the Golden Fleece.
How eloquent is Iason? Naturally, he was sharp-tongued and flamboyant, but Aetes saw more in this matter, which was already a dispute between the gods, whether it was the Argonaut bandits, or he, the son of Helios, or even the whole of Colchis were just lambs to be slaughtered at will in the eyes of the gods.
As for Iason's nonsense, he naturally took it on deaf ears, ally? Support? Let's not talk about how far is Colchis from the Greek side, even if on the day of the war, Iazon's side should not fall into the well and reduce himself to a tyrant, and then turn the spearhead and face his sword is all right, fight for him? What kind of blank check is given, and the words of Iason to make himself represent the whole of Greece make him very unhappy, there are always some fools who like to represent themselves as the public, so as to oppress people with righteousness.
Only Aetheus and Medea knew that the Golden Fleece could not be taken away, and when Phrixos slaughtered the golden sheep as a sacrifice to Zeus, Zeus himself promised that as long as the Golden Fleece remained in the land of Colchis, Zeus would never attack Colchis.
So the Golden Fleece was sacrificed to the god of war Ares, and he specially instructed his subordinates to use special means to nail the Golden Fleece to the sacred forest commemorating Ares, so that the gods could not take action in person for the sake of face, in order to be more safe, he personally subdued a powerful and vicious fire dragon to prevent the young people from stealing the Golden Fleece in the sacred forest.
The Golden Fleece must not leave the land of Colchis, what will happen to a group of mortals who do not believe in Olympus, but he knows best, Remnos is just because he does not believe in Aphrodite, the women of the whole island are cursed and emit a foul smell all over their bodies, causing all the men of Remnos to cheat and betray, and never return home after going to Thrace, and Colchis is going against the entire Olympus because of his belief in Helios, and the consequences of losing Zeus's promise, Aetheus dare not imagine, As a last resort, he had no choice but to seek refuge in the secret organization, and it is said that Remnos was able to escape the curse because of the help of this organization......
In the eyes of the people, Aetheus called out to his subordinates, and when he saw that he whispered a few words in his subordinates' ears, he let them go.
And such a scene fell in the eyes of Iason, which was already a sign that Aetheus was not ready to compromise, and there was a god behind him, and Iason had already had no fear.
He simply asked, "Your Majesty King Colchis, are you really unwilling to hand over that golden fleece, which is all over the world?" ”
"This is natural, the Golden Fleece is the treasure of my Colchis, sheltering the whole country in good weather, of course it is impossible to hand it over to you, and please find another clever treasure to return to China."
Hearing this, Yi Asong's face immediately changed, and he threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground with all his might, smashing a small hole. At the same time, a burst of golden light shone in the palace, and a goddess dressed in thin white, wearing a winged silver helmet, and holding a golden spear appeared in the center of the main hall.
She just slammed the spear in her hand into the ground of the palace, and the whole sturdy palace shook violently.
At this moment, the momentum of Eetes's side suddenly weakened a lot from Iasong's side, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that this goddess must be the helper invited by Iasong.
"I am Athena, why is His Highness Aetes so reluctant to give up the Golden Fleece? What is the function of such things outside the body and you, Your Highness? ”
Athena used an honorific title, and Aetes was not inferior to him in terms of seniority, and in front of Helios, even his father Zeus was so low, but now...... Under the gap in strength, the thing of seniority is completely dispensable.
At this moment, two more strangely dressed and unknown people came in from outside the main hall, and they walked together, ignoring Athena in the center of the main hall, and walked straight towards Aetes.
