Chapter 219: The Golden Fleece

Leo took a blanket from his bag and placed it over Nana, who was once again asleep.

He touched Nana's forehead worriedly and asked, "Nana, what's going on? She has a will to die in her heart!"

Isenas shook his head and said, "The psychological world is the most complex and unpredictable, and I can't guess anything. ”

Leo lowered his head in disappointment.

"But I can give you a little advice. ”

Leo's eyes lit up.

"Since Nana's psychological problems are related to you, the solution to the problem must be on you, and you have to care for her very much. ”

Leo nodded heavily: "I see." ”

Lizanka patted Leo on the shoulder and said, "Although I don't know much about psychology, I know that the human heart is diverse, and there is often more than what you see on the surface. ”

"Thank you. ”

Ente pressed Nana's hand, channeled a gentle light into it, and proposed, "It's useless for us to worry here, let's think about where we're going next." ”

Lizanka touched under the table and said, "Yes, Isenus, since we don't have any pursuers behind us, why don't we take a leisurely journey?"

Isenus snatched the map from Lizanka's hand and asked, "What do you think?"

Leo looked at Nana and said hesitantly, "I know you're thinking about Nana, but I think she seems to prefer more exciting adventures. ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure either, Isenas, it's just a feeling. ”

Isenus groaned and said, "Feeling is not an ethereal, unreliable thing, it is a combination of your years of knowledge, your way of thinking, and a subconscious analysis of the unfamiliar situation in front of you, which I prefer to call 'subconscious experience'." The more thoughtful a person is, the more accurate the feeling is. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Trust your feelings. Isenus spread out the map. "In that case, let's take the fastest route to the peak of the world, and then, wherever there is danger, we will see if we can untie Nana's heart knot. ”

Leo looked around the carriage, and both Paul Jr., the youngest, and Lizanka, who had recently joined, all agreed with the proposal.

"I've always wanted to get rid of little Paul's little print. Little Paul spread his hands.

"I'm tired of this kind of journey, you guys call it the Dragon Adventure Party, you have to come up with something to match your reputation. Lizanka yawned.

Omony, who was returned to the front of the carriage, hesitated for a moment and said, "Oh, I may not be good, God knows I'm going to be in front of the carriage... Well, I agree, Miss Lizzana. ”

Isenus snapped his hand and said, "That's it, let's go to the Benarat Mountains first, stop for a while at Beato City on the edge of the mountains, and then go straight to Steff, the peak of the world." ”

The original predetermined route on the map was retracted little by little under the command of Izenus, and a new, straight line connected them to the peak of the world.

Leo didn't say much, and he didn't need to say anything more at this time.

But he suddenly felt that he usually cared too little about his companions, and at this time, out of gratitude and a little guilt for his companions, he wanted to do something for his companions.

So Leo asked, "Isennas, about your previous adventure party..."

Ethanna paused, and could tell he didn't really want to bring it up.

"Uh, what's wrong?"

"I'm not asking what happened to your previous team, where are the members, why did you fail miserably or something..."

The more Leo distinguished, the more dangerous the content of his words became, and Leo's voice became smaller and smaller under the death gaze of Izenus.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Isenas interrupted Leo's self-destructive speech.

Leo coughed loudly twice, looked at the roof of the carriage and tried to hide his embarrassment, and said, "What is that Golden Fleece you were looking for?"

"You ask this. Isennas's face softened slightly, he thought for a moment, and said, "It's nothing to tell you, this is the legendary treasure I found in ancient books, according to legend, as long as you have the Golden Fleece, the holder can realize all his ideals and get the happiness he dreamed of." ”

Ente suddenly spoke: "That's not a legend, the Golden Fleece is real. ”

Although Ente and Isenas had an intersection ten years ago because of the legend of the Golden Fleece, this incident was not a pleasant memory for both of them, so even if the two knew that their life trajectories had intersected more than half a year ago, they tacitly never mentioned it.

Now, since Leo took the initiative to mention it, the two couldn't help but want to communicate.

Esenas knocked on the table and said, "Do you have proof?"

"There is no direct evidence. ”

That is, there is circumstantial evidence.

The people in the carriage waited quietly for Ente.

"There is a book in the Church of Light called "Persona of God Wars", which is dedicated to recording all the anomalous events in the short period of more than thirty years from the decisive battle of Nosar to the disappearance of the god King Wille, as well as the items related to these anomalous events, and the Golden Fleece ranks eighth. ”

Isenus shook his head and said, "That doesn't mean anything. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet. Entre dipped his finger in the water and scratched a strange-shaped weapon on the table. "This is the Spear of Nothingness and End, a dwarven musket that is said to defy all characteristics and is bound to be wiped out if hit, and is ranked seventeenth in Persona. ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, even the learned ones like Isenus and Rizanka had never heard of such a weapon.

"What do you mean by this erasure?" asked Leo as he raised his hand.

"It is to erase all traces of your presence in the world. Ente said briefly.

"Uh, do you mean to beat my flesh and blood, my fighting spirit, and all that I have into nothingness?"

"No, it's all the traces. Ente began to scratch his ears and cheeks, trying to explain the concept. "It's just..."

“... It is the traces of your activities in this world from birth, adventure, death, etc., and may even include the images you have left in the memories of others. Esenus knocked on the door of his head and said lightly. "Is that what you mean?"

"That's right. Ente breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Paul looked at the rest of the people with serious expressions in wonder and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Leo said: "It's not just powerful, it's even cruel. Think about it, if one day you die under this weapon, everyone will lose their memories of you, and we will still take risks as if nothing happened. If your parents are still alive, they won't remember your birth, and you're a blank slate to the world. ”

"Nope. Esenas glanced at little Paul. "It's that all your actions in this world will be filled in a more rational way, that is, the world will function perfectly with or without you. In other words, the weapon erases the meaning of your existence. ”

Isennas's explanation involved some deeper concepts, although little Paul never understood everything, but he still felt a little chill behind it.

"Does this weapon really exist?"

"This weapon was found by the Shadow Pursuit Party more than a hundred years ago, and is now stored in the Papal Chamber of the Church of Light, half of which is connected to the Kingdom of the God of Light. ”

"Incredible. Isenus whispered. "It is impossible to imagine what kind of energy and rules can be used to launch such an attack, which cannot even be explained by force. ”

Leo nodded and said, "If it was a simple destruction, I would have known that many abilities could be achieved, but I don't have a clue about this attack method that is within the scope of the attack as long as there is a connection between the past and the present, and I don't even understand why this attack method was designed." ”

Isenus shook his head and said, "No, this way is necessary, think of the Willell in the Water Jedi, I guess, if done correctly, it is possible to retrieve Willell from an infinite number of worlds, and this attack is likely to prevent some fully alive creatures from being resurrected in various ways." ”

Leo still frowned: "Four hundred years ago, was there really such a powerful weapon?"

"This is just one of many incredible weapons. Ente continued, "This weapon is the highest-ranked Persona collection I know of, and there are dozens of other weapons behind it, whether it's Gunniel, who is sure to hit enemies and is considered the source of the custom of making wishes to shooting stars, or the backlightsaber, the last-to-strike weapon, the Church has found traces of these weapons. ”

"The era of the existence of the god-king four hundred years ago was the real age of mythology! All legends are beyond imagination, and the Golden Fleece is also a legend. ”

Everyone in the group was shaken by the spirits.

Isenus took a deep breath and said, "What is written in that church book?"

Ent, grabbing his short hair, said, "Persona only says that this treasure does not usually appear in the eyes of people, and only those who have gone through countless difficult adventures and have an indomitable will can get a glimpse of its true face." ”

"And what about its abilities?"

It is said to be the ultimate treasure that can realize all the ideals of the holder and allow the holder to have happiness in this life. Enther shook his head and said, "This is even more incredible than the Gun of Nothingness and End, this is simply an omnipotent wishing machine." ”

Isenus shook his head and said, "No, since the Golden Fleece has such a powerful ability, it must also have a very big limit, and this restriction may be in the process of obtaining it. ”

Ente asked, "That's all I have, what information do you get?"

"It was an old drawing, and outside of it, someone had annotated it in a more ancient language. ”

"Pictures, first?"

"No problem. Isenas picked up a pen and sketched it on a blank piece of paper: "It was a young brave man, his indecisive father was a king, but indecision meant weakness, which forced him to turn to his half-brother for help." His half-brother, after helping the king, took his throne and banished the brave man from the country. ”

As the years went by, and the brave man grew to manhood, he asked his greedy and ungrateful uncle for the throne, and he promised him, but asked him to go to distant Kokis in exchange for the legendary Golden Fleece. ”

Little Paul had a look of disgust in his eyes and said, "This is really an insatiable fellow." Did he succeed with that warrior?"

Of course he succeeded, and with the help of the son of the gods, and the selfish preference of Princess Kochis, whom he had loved, the warrior took possession of the Golden Fleece and returned to his own country, where he showed the Golden Fleece, rallied his people, killed his greedy uncle, and reclaimed his throne. ”

"It's a good story. ”

"This is just the beginning of this story. Isenas said. When the brave man returned to his country, he grew tired of the princess who had helped him so much, and took another wife. ”

Little Paul was stunned and said, "I think a brave man should have noble character?"

"A brave man is not always a brave man. Ente said helplessly.

"Of course," continued Isenas, "the beautiful princess was not a mediocre woman, and she gave the warrior's bride a delicate robe and a golden crown, poisoned the princess, and then killed herself and the warrior's child, and fled to a distant land. ”

"Oh my God. Little Paul muttered.

Rizanka was a little excited about this, and said, "That's right! Obviously, this man was ungrateful first, but this princess did the right thing!

Looking at Lizanka, who was slapping her leg excitedly, little Paul shrank his head in fear.

Leo wordlessly patted Lizanka on the shoulder, pointed at the sleeping Nana, and motioned for her to be quiet.

Lizanka stuck out her tongue and covered her mouth.

After finally calming down Lizanka, Leo asked, "You also saw that the Golden Fleece does not make the bearer happy all the time, so why are you obsessed with chasing it?"

"It's because of youth and frivolity. Isenus smiled self-deprecatingly. "In that psalm, I emphatically explained the invincibility of the warrior when he got the Golden Fleece, and I thought I was wiser than the warrior and would not let this treasure turn against me, so I confidently sought the help of this treasure. As you can see, not only did I not find the Golden Fleece, but even halfway through, the team I assembled all perished. ”

Leo sighed and asked, "Then what do you think of this treasure now?"

Isenus shook his head and said, "Let it be, I've let it go." ”

However, in a cave in the belly of a mountain, in front of three sleeping dragons, a glittering mass of wool shook gently.
