Chapter 1166: Visiting and Exploring
The Kingdom of Colchis is a country located on the edge of the ruling area of Mount Olympus, of course, although it bears the name of the country, but in terms of the area of the country, I am afraid that the capital Colchis can barely be called a city worth mentioning. In addition to the capital, there are no human settlements worthy of the title of city in the territory of the Kingdom of Colchis, and the villages distributed around the capital and the troops stationed near the coastline can barely be called human settlements, but in general, only the king in the capital of the Kingdom of Colchis has almost absolute control over Colchis by virtue of military strength and the protection brought by the gods. In addition to the fact that the capital of the Kingdom of Colchis was protected by sufficient troops, the oracle conveyed by Zeus, the god king of the Olympian lineage, when he placed the Golden Fleece in the territory of the Kingdom of Colchis, was the foundation of the king's rule.
"The oracle of Zeus is to associate the Golden Fleece's stay in the land of the kingdom of Colchis with a curse on the life of the king. As long as the Golden Fleece is not lost, the king will be able to maintain his youth and immortality under the maintenance of divine power. But if the Golden Fleece is lost, not only will the king grow old like an ordinary person, but also the right to rule the country will be lost. Therefore, if we want to take the Golden Fleece, we can only exchange it for something equal to or even more than the domination of the state by force. ”
Succubi and even other gods thousands of miles away have never known about the blessings (curses) that Zeus once bestowed on King Colchis and the land, and if it weren't for the world administrators like Xun Xin, who transcended any civilization, to access the information stored in the world, I am afraid that Zeus's true goal hidden under the epic of many heroes challenging the Golden Fleece would almost not be known to any outsider. Cursed and blessed kings, heroes who follow the will of the gods in pursuit of the Golden Fleece, and impending conflict in the kingdom of Colchis are all plans to cover up the expansion of the faith that is likely to be stopped by other gods and the goddess of magic, Hekate.
And in order to better cover the true purpose of the Olympus god system, Zeus consciously released the news of the Golden Fleece to the humans in the area under the jurisdiction of the Olympus god system. With the help of God's will and the word-of-mouth information of mankind, the Golden Fleece was shaped into a secret treasure among the secret treasures pursued by the heroes of the world, supplemented by the rumors that several more famous heroes sought the Golden Fleece and died in the middle, attracting the adventurous and heroic epic human beings in the jurisdiction of the Olympian god system to seek the highest glory of the Golden Fleece as a hero. The widespread anecdote of the Golden Fleece may have alarmed the goddess of magic, Hekate, but the actions of mortals and demigods did not arouse her vigilance. ”
It's not that Hekate, the goddess of magic, looks down on human power, in fact, among the gods to which Olympus belongs, Hekate's thinking and behavior are special individuals who are very close to humans. Unlike the centaur sage Charon, who lived on the surface of the earth for many years and did not see himself as a god and was not blessed by his faith, Hekate himself was actually believed by humans as a god but behaved almost in the same way as humans. Hekate's act of accepting humans as disciples as a god and teaching them to him is more like a reckless witch than a god who has to restrict humanity from opening a treasure trove of knowledge to maintain his rule, and does not seem to have considered the possibility of humans gaining power and no longer believing in themselves.
"It's a pity that the humans living in the kingdom of Colchis are too heavily influenced by the Olympian gods, and most humans worship physical strength and fitness, and only regard mysterious magic as a trick used by the weak. They really missed the opportunity to personally teach the skills of the gods who had an unimaginable knowledge of magic during the Divine Generation. ”
Recalling that he had developed from the magic system in the past, the corners of Xunxin's mouth couldn't help but reveal a faint wry smile. The Mana System is one of the most widely circulated energy systems in the Mystic System, and although it is difficult to learn the basics due to the variety of categories and characteristics, the Mana System is generally a more effective route to strengthening than simply increasing the strength of the flesh in terms of power and versatility - provided that the practitioners of the Mana System are almost the same as ordinary people in the basic period.
"Kokoko-chan seems to want to change the current situation where magic is not taken seriously, but this is an era when the power system of faith and fear dominates, and even if Kokoko-chan does not adjust the structure of the world or accelerate the flow of time in the world as a whole, it will not be able to change the phenomenon caused by the development of the times. However, I think that if Xin-chan makes good use of her magical knowledge in the future, she may be able to make the princesses of the Kingdom of Colchis who are studying magic obey and facilitate our goal. ”
In order to maximize the cooperation with the power system chosen by the heart-seeker, Yaoyue, who also chose the magic system, gave a method that might be easier to achieve the goal of the group at the moment. After all, the Hearts Seeker and his party did not come here for the Golden Fleece at all, but needed to form an alliance with the patron saint of the Kingdom of Colchis and the witch with the highest individual ability during the God Dynasty. If you can avoid negotiating with the ruler of the Kingdom of Colchis and talk directly to the gods, it will undoubtedly bring great convenience to Xunxin and others.
"Hmm... The problem is that we don't have access to Hekate at the moment. The current god Qi Margotroyd is displayed in front of humans under the name of Hekate, the god of magic, and it is only counterproductive to let a witch who lives under the jurisdiction of the Olympian god system negotiate with a witch who has a bad reputation in the eyes of the gods. And... When we arrived, we swaggered and showed enough wealth and prestige, and it was the highest courtesy in any kingdom in the time of the gods, and I did not intend to try to be rude for the sake of convenience, and cause the kingdom of Colchis to feel bad for us. Now that we are severely limited in all aspects of our abilities, even ordinary people with little ability will cause us great trouble. ”
As for how to communicate with Hekate, the god of magic, in the plan obtained by the joint analysis of the starship host in advance, the princess of the kingdom of Colchis was attracted with the help of magical knowledge, and the magic knowledge that was beyond the time was used as a basis to attract Hekate, the god of magic. As long as the true mission of the Argo is slightly revised to remind the god of magic, Hekat, as part of the gods, will immediately realize the intentions of the Olympian gods. In this way, it is natural to form an alliance with the highest-level witches and their forces in the Divine Generation.
"But before that... Dealing with the emissaries of the Kingdom of Colchis is the first priority! According to the plan discussed during the voyage on the ship, we are now nobles who have crossed the seas for thousands of miles, and we hold the artifacts and treasures given by the gods, whether in terms of force or financial resources, which the Kingdom of Colchis cannot resist. Remember the role you were assigned and bring it into the setting of the role, now is the time for us to show our acting skills! ”
