Chapter 161: Medea's Strategy

"I'm against it!"

Outside the hall, there was a sudden roar, and an old man dressed in a luxurious suit walked in with a group of middle-aged and young men.

It was Aegeus' brother Pallas!

The heroes of the Gentiles each spoke, and they had no say in the matter.

And the ministers of the kingdom were all overjoyed.

Naturally, they don't have the guts to directly oppose Aegeus, but since someone has made a bird, it is still possible to follow the shout.

Aegeus's face was a little ugly, this brother had long been his biggest threat, but he didn't expect to jump out today.

"Pallas, what are you against?"

"Big brother, this stranger has no good background, what qualifications does he have to be the king of our Athens?"

Pallas insisted that Theseus' identity was questionable.

"That's enough! Pallas, I'm not so unrecognizable to my own son! If you have any doubts, I can go to the Acropolis right now and ask the goddess to testify!"

Seeing that Aegeus was so determined, Pallas couldn't help but breathe.

There was only one chance to question, and if Aegeus broke Pallas's doubts in the goddess Athena, the throne would essentially be insulated from him.

Pallas hurriedly changed his words, "Big brother, even if this young man is indeed your son, how is he qualified to be the king of Athens, and what can he do for the citizens of Athens?"

Turning back to the group of children around him, Pallas said loudly: "Big brother, look at your nephews, each of them fought to defend their homeland in the Athenian army! Some of your nephews were seriously wounded, and some even died on the battlefield for Athens!"

"I think they are more qualified to succeed to the throne of Athens than this young man who suddenly appeared!"

Aegeus sank, "Are you questioning Theseus' abilities?Pallas, do you want your sons to fight him when he came from Trozeng and killed countless robbers on the way?"

Pallaston felt a little hot on his face.

If Theseus was telling the truth, then his fifty sons together would not have been able to beat him.

It is impossible to compete in martial arts, it is fatal.

"Hmph, who knows if he's telling the truth......"

"It's true, uncle. I swear in the name of the goddess Athena that I am not lying. ”

Before Pallas could finish speaking, Theseus stood up and swore directly.

Pallaston was choked and speechless.

"Pallas, what else do you have to say?" Aegeus gave his brother a deep look, feeling refreshed.

"If it's okay, you can go back, I won't change my mind about this matter!"

"Big brother, even if what he says is true, what does that have to do with us Athenians? A man who has not contributed the slightest to Athens becomes a king, and no one will be convinced!"

Pallas still didn't give up, and his eyes looked back at the ministers present.

"You are all the pillars of Athens, tell me, do you agree?"

The ministers hesitated for a moment and shook their heads.

Although he did not speak, his position was clear.

The situation was back in Pallas's hands, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Aegeus's face turned ugly again, and he didn't know what to do now.

Pallas was in a good mood, but the next second out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a figure standing up, which made his face a little strange.

It's Medea!

What is this woman doing now? Didn't she say that she would leave everything to herself?

"Your Majesty. ”

Aegeus looked back and saw that Medea had already walked behind him.

"Medea, is there anything wrong with you?"

Aegeus was trying to find a reason to get to the point, and his face looked a little better.

"Your Majesty, I think Pallas is right, Prince Theseus is indeed unfit to be king now. ”

Aegeus's face sank again, but he didn't expect Medea to stab him at this time!

"Haha, big brother, look, even the smart and wise Lady Medea thinks you can't do this, do you still want to be stubborn?"

Pallas laughed.

"However, your majesty, it is very simple to solve this matter, as long as Prince Theseus does something small for the citizens of Athens, everyone will support him wholeheartedly. ”

What is this woman doing!

Pallas's brow furrowed at once, is this woman crazy?

Aegeus's face was a little better, "Medea, what do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, this year it should be time again to pay tribute to Crete, and this time it is better to let Prince Theseus lead the party, and if he can save the children from disaster, the people of Athens will be grateful to him. ”

After Medea finished speaking, she smiled at Theseus, revealing a hint of kindness.

"No way!"

Aegeus's face suddenly turned terribly bad, and he must not let Theseus step into this fire pit.

Pallas reacted, and immediately said, "What's wrong with this? Big brother, isn't my nephew a rare hero?

Aegeus's face shifted.

Eighteen years earlier, the son of King Minos of Crete, Androgeus, had been killed in Athens, and King Minos had sent an army from Crete far south to attack Athens, which was defeated.

Losers naturally want to taste the bitter fruit.

One of the terms of the treaty between Athens and Crete was that every nine years, Athens would send seven pairs of boys and girls to the great labyrinth of Crete and sacrifice them to the minotaur Minotaur Minotaur.

Judging from the timing, this year will be the third time to send tribute to Crete.

But how could Aegeus get his son to do this, to prevent the death of a virgin?

How to stop the assassination of King Minos?

King Minos's combat power could not find a few opponents in the entire land of Achaia, although he was older than Aegeus and had fallen from the peak, but he still represented invincible combat power.

The strongest demigod in the world, as long as he doesn't die, he can kill.

The only option is to kill the Minotaur.

However, this is also difficult to do.

The Minotaur is said to have been born to a white bull sent by Pacific, the queen of Minos, and Poseidon, the god of the sea.

As for why the queen of Minos gave birth to such a monster, it is said that because Minos offended Poseidon, the god of the sea, it was his sin.

Minotaur, who had lived in the Cretan labyrinth for many years, was already an epic beast eighteen years ago, and now it is probably a legend, and Theseus had little chance of winning against it.

Seeing Aegeus' hesitant look, Theseus stepped forward once more.

"Father, I'm willing to accept this task!"
