8. Lay out the puzzles
It was another lively feast, and Aetheus sat on the main seat to entertain a group of robbers led by Iason, who had traveled thousands of miles.
That's right, robbers, that's the adjective of the whole country of Colchis for Iason, and it's the infamy of the populace for the shameless people who come from afar without any merit, and whimsically demand precious treasures from their beloved king.
Aetes' reign over Colchis was undoubtedly a success, as he was a king who had received gifts from Qi Wuce.
The last king, who had received such treatment, had already sublimated the people of his country from a brutal state of life to a well-off life of abundance.
As for the previous one, the man who led the entire Assyrian Empire to prosperity as a daughter.
In terms of comparing Dull Mao with these kings, it can be said that Qi Wuce is actually an even more outstanding king cultivator than Merlin.
After all, Merlin is an inhuman body, and the king cultivated with the concept of inhuman can only be an inhuman king, not that the dumb hair is worse than the king cultivated by Qi Wuce, but compared to the above human kings full of human nature, the dull hair cultivated by Merlin belongs to the holy king who is noble, notarized, and has a thousand brilliances.
The stupid hair, who fights for the idea and can be called the king of the duke, does not understand people's hearts (funny), but there is nothing wrong with being the king, mainly because Merlin, who is supposed to be an assistant minister, does not care at all, and the capable enough internal affairs officer Ag Guiwen died too early.
Sister Morgan's secret sabotage led to the infighting of the Knights of the Round Table and the breakdown of the relationship between father and son, this series of major problems, coupled with the lack of ability of the internal affairs officials around the Dull Mao King, led to the lack of lubricating oil between the king and the ministers, and Lancelot rebelled when the two or five boys committed a mutiny, resulting in a lack of prestige to the Dull Mao King alone, and finally the fall of the British Kingdom under internal and external troubles is a certainty.
It's like the chairman and the general manager created the company single-handedly, and Merlin, the general manager, suddenly stopped doing it after the establishment of the company, and the newly appointed general manager Ag Guiwen is talented, but unfortunately he resigned early, plus the general manager is a spy of the Morgan company next door, and the successor no one technology leaks, what should you do if you call a chairman?
Therefore, it is not all the fault of the dumb hair king, and the main thing is to hand over the pot to Merlin, the hand-shaking shopkeeper.
In this comparison, Qi Wuru, who has never taken the blame, is much more beautiful than Merlin, a dead house.
Ahem, that's a long way off, let's get back to business.
Because Eetes has won the hearts of the people, basically the whole country is in a state of common hatred for the group of Iason, which directly leads to the fact that Iasong and his party have spent the cold wilderness in the past few days.
It wasn't until today that the gods of Olympus blessed them, and Aetes summoned them into the palace, that they got out of the state of eating barbecue every day.
As the party was held, the heavily armed Iason tried his best to restrain his appetite, after all, he could not afford to lose his manners in front of the enemy, but most of the people who came with him had begun to eat with their bellies, and he did not reprimand these men, because these were all brothers who were suffering with him.
Iason sat in his seat and waited patiently like a good baby, and in such a way he could not speak until someone else's king spoke first.
They were called robbers, but Iason, who never regarded his actions as robbers, always thought that his trip was honorable and just, but only for a golden fleece, and that when he had regained his throne, he would return it and thank all Colchis with a heavy courtesy.
Unbeknownst to Iason, he was always just a pathetic pawn of the Olympian gods to throw away after use.
Let's see what happened to Iason! After going through the ordeal to come to Colchis, he never died because of the hardships of the road, but after retrieving the Golden Fleece, he died of Aphrodite's joke, the most ridiculous thing is the most ridiculous! Iason's constitution was crushed to death by a falling log from the Argo.
After all, Iason was just a poor man who was played with by the gods.
The Golden Fleece could not be lent, and if it was lent, Colchis would be destroyed in the struggle of the gods, who had always been cruel and ruthless to these heretics who did not believe in them.
Unable to give up the Golden Fleece, Iason accepted the gods' offer and had lost his last retreat, and disputes were inevitable.
Because of the agreement between Qi Wuxue and Helios, Aetes received his father's orders in advance, and now it is a struggle for mortals, and as his own representative, he will set the time it takes to prevent Iason from taking each level of the Golden Fleece long enough.
The difficulty of the level does not mean that Iason will not be able to get the Golden Fleece, but only to delay the time as much as possible, and Aetheus does not understand why there is such an order, but he will not ask his father questions, he just needs to do his duty - set up the level, and that is enough.
"O robbers who have come from afar, your coveting of my Colchis's treasure is a requirement to be sentenced to death, but how righteous and righteous I am to remember that you have come from afar without any hassle to give you a chance to obtain the Golden Fleece today!"
Eetes was not angry, and although his tone sounded calm, every word he uttered in his words fell on the hearts of Iason and his party.
Medea sat to the right of Aetes' seat, and she looked at the robbers who wanted to destroy her homeland without a word, and without Cupid's arrows, she had no affection for the bandits led by Iason.
When she appears at the banquet, in addition to helping her father add magic to his words, she is also responsible for examining the strength of these people to lay the most delaying and resource-saving levels.
After all, the resources used to arrange the levels were all personally funded by her beloved Lord Qi Wuce, and everything in them made her feel like a treasure, and she had to use magic to keep them carefully to feel at ease.
After a closer look, Medea secretly transmitted the plan to Aetes.
Then Aetes said: "I have two strong sacred cows grazing in the rich fields of Colchis, with solid copper hooves and a fire in their noses......
I was accustomed to ploughing the land with these two oxen, and when the land was all ploughed, I sowed not grain in the ditch, but the terrible dragon's teeth, and ended up with a group of soldiers. They were coming at me from all sides, and I had to swing my spear and stab them to the ground one by one.
Every day, I yoke the two sacred cows in the early morning and plough them until the evening after the harvest I can rest.
Outland bandits! If you can do it on the same day, as I did, then you can take the Golden Fleece, otherwise I can't give it to you, because the brave warrior is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and the Golden Fleece dominates the brave! ”
Aetheus pondered for a moment, and then he continued: "Considering that you people have traveled so hard to come here, I can extend the time to seven days, and as long as you can complete this task one day within these seven days, then the precious Golden Fleece will be yours!" ”
