Inside the palace of the Kingdom of Colchis.

Aetes looked at the young blond man who was giving an unusually impassioned speech in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself, worthy of being a person favored by the gods.

I heard that his big ship and crew relied on his mouth to "fool" at the beginning, but now it seems very possible, even if you already know the ultimate purpose of this guy, you can still feel a convincing charm when you hear his speech.

However, as the king of Colchis, Aetes knew very well that no matter how gorgeous the words of the little guy in front of him were, they were nothing more than empty promises that could not be cashed.

After all, having sat on this throne for many years, Eetes knew very well that Iason's uncle would never return the throne to Iason, after all, everyone who sat on this throne knew the beauty of power.

After being wiped out by Zheng Shu from the greed for the Golden Fleece in his heart, the old king even felt a little pity for the young man in front of him.

In his experience, if Iason failed to return, he might lose a little bit of a reputation, but he might still be able to survive. But if he succeeds in getting the Golden Fleece and bringing it back, then he will face a never-ending political battle.

At the same time, Zheng Shu, who had already quietly exchanged identities with his puppet, stood in the crowd of the Argo, silently watching the scene that happened in the palace.

In fact, he knew exactly what Aetes was thinking, and it was understandable that he would have such thoughts, after all, the origin of Colchis's Golden Fleece itself represented a very bloody political struggle.

However, it is very counterintuitive that although the person is very out of tune, he is indeed the kind of person who speaks.

Not just Iason, but everyone in his family shared this trait, including his uncle, who had usurped the throne.

You must know that in ancient Greek mythology, after Iason obtained the Golden Fleece, the only one who could really follow him back to his country was Medea, and the other heroes basically attended a few banquets after returning to the port and left.

And the gamble of the gods has long since come to an end the moment when Iason obtained the Golden Fleece, and Iason himself is no longer under the attention of the gods, so Iason is really isolated when he returns to the country.

But his uncle, who was the king, kept his promise and passed the throne to Iason.

From this aspect, it can be seen that the family of Iasong is indeed amazing in keeping their promises.

However, it is probably because of this trait that Iason was able to conquer all the heroes on the Argo, including Hercules, with his charisma.

Listening to Iason's generous speech, Aetes was a little distracted, in fact, if he could, he wouldn't mind giving the Golden Fleece directly to the other party, and then letting the other party roll as far as the group of guys went.

After all, after the greed in his mind was cleared, Aetheus also knew very well that this Golden Fleece did not have any magical special effects except for a little rarity, and if there was one characteristic, it was probably that the color was very bright and it was particularly smooth to the touch.

Such a famous thing, but it has no practical effect at all, is a hot potato in your hand, and it will only attract all kinds of heroes (robbers) who want to snatch it away.

But he couldn't, because Aetes had already sacrificed the Golden Fleece to Ares, the god of war, long ago.

Although Ares did not take the Golden Fleece away, he did send a demon dragon to guard it, and in a sense, this Golden Fleece has become a gift from the gods, representing the protection of the god of war, Ares.

If he handed over the Golden Fleece so easily, it would be disrespectful to Ares, the god of war.

Therefore, Aetheus must set up a test for Iason without releasing water at all, and ensure that the boy in front of him can pass smoothly and take away the hot potato of the Golden Fleece.

The point is that the test must also involve the dragon sent by Ares.

In this way, he can show that he has done his best, and he can also quietly shift the responsibility for the loss of the Golden Fleece on his side to Ares, the god of war.

After all, even the demon dragon sent by His Excellency Ares, the god of war, did not stop the other party, so it is only natural that mortals like us cannot stop the other party.

Therefore, you only need to link the content of the trial with the magic dragon, so that for the sake of your own face, you won't be too embarrassed by Colchis after defeating Ares.

On top of this, Zheng Shu proposed a further approach - win-win.

The reason why the gods made such a pact was only to observe the posture of Iason who struggled to achieve his goal, which was a game that the gods above could not get tired of playing.

Therefore, when Iason encounters too difficult predicament, those gods will even "secretly" help him cheat.

So the goal is simple, just make sure that Iason can finally leave Colchis with the "Golden Fleece".

Eetes's plan can ensure that the god of war Ares will not turn his face and get angry after the Golden Fleece is captured, and what do people outside think, Zheng Shu only needs to let him know that the Golden Fleece has not been taken away, and this god who has earned enough face will naturally continue to protect Colchis.

So after Iason's mouth was dry, Aetes finally spoke.

"What you say has touched me, young man."

Hearing this, Iason's face was overjoyed, and he heard hope in the king's tone.

"However, the Golden Fleece is a sacrifice from our Corsky to the god of war, Ares, and is the property of the god of war, and I have no right to give it to you.

But as long as you can prove yourself to be a brave hero by passing the test I have set for you, then I'm sure Lord Ares won't mind you taking the Golden Fleece. ”

"What test?" Iason's tone was a little eager.

When Aetheus said that the Golden Fleece belonged to Ares, his heart was about to beat out of his throat, and if the other party really pressed him with the gods, he really didn't have the courage to continue to ask for the Golden Fleece.

After all, in ancient Greece, it was a well-known fact that the gods were small-minded.

"I heard that you and Hercules were taught by the same master, so I will set you a triple test."

After Eetes finished speaking, Iason's face became a little ugly, if the other party really arranged a task for him according to the difficulty level of Hercules' trial, Iason would have to think about where he would wander in the future.

"First of all, the first test, as I usually do, is that you have to drive two sacred oxen of our country to plough four acres of land. And the second test, you have to plant some dragon teeth in the ground and then deal with the dragon tooth soldiers who crawl out at night......"

At this point, Eiteston paused for a moment, looked at Iason, whose face had become a little pale, and smiled.

"As for the third test, I haven't thought about it yet, so let's wait until you've completed the two. Rest assured, as long as you do this, you will prove that you are a warrior worthy of Lord Ares' reward, and I will personally deliver the Golden Fleece to you. ”

Iason's expression had frozen, he had naturally investigated the situation in this country before coming to Colchis, and in addition to the Golden Fleece, the most famous thing in this country was the two sacred cows that could breathe fire.

In addition to their immense strength, the flames of the two sacred cows were enough to burn molten metal, and they were said to be so hot-tempered that no one but the king dared to approach them at all.

Such a monster is a top-notch monster even if it is not as good as a dragon, and in the face of such a monster, it is extremely difficult to let Yi Ah Song defeat it alone, let alone two at the same time, and this time the task is not to crusade but to control them to cultivate the land......

In other words, with the rumored irascible personalities of these two monsters, can anyone really pull them to plow the land?

What's more, even if he really drove these two sacred oxen to plough the land, he would have to defeat those dragon tooth soldiers who were not simple things at first glance, and Yi Ah Song felt hopeless just thinking about it.

If it weren't for the fact that he saw Zheng Shu behind him silently giving him a reassuring gesture, Yi Asong would probably really give up.

"Then Your Majesty, can you give me some time to prepare? After all, we've just gone on a long voyage and need to recharge our batteries. ”

Yi Ah Song decided to put it off for a while to see what good ideas Zheng Shu could give him.

"Of course no problem, you must be exhausted after so many adventures to come to Colchis, how could I take advantage of the danger of letting you start the trial now? A grand banquet has been arranged for you tonight, so please rest well and we will begin the test in three days. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yi Ah Song was a little puzzled when he heard this, if he was standing on the other party's side, he would definitely not give the other party any time to prepare, so as to reduce the possibility of the Golden Fleece being snatched away as much as possible.

So his previous proposal was just a test, and he didn't plan to succeed, but he didn't expect to really get three days of rest and recuperation.

It's not a long time, and I hope Zheng Shu can solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Iasong hurriedly said goodbye to Eate, and was about to return to the ship to ask Zheng Shu what he could do.

……

……

"Actually, it's very simple, you just need to subdue those two sacred cows."

Zheng Shu's answer made Yi Ah Song speechless, if he really had the ability to subdue the two divine cows alone, would he still need to bother with this?

"Rest assured, there are a lot of loopholes to exploit in this matter."

Zheng Shu saw his thoughts and showed a smile that was under control.

"What is it?" Iason was in good spirits.

"It would have been a bit of a hassle if the king of Colchis hadn't given us time to prepare, but the other party actually gave us three days to prepare, so it's much easier."

Zheng Shu touched the luggage he was carrying, took out a handful of herbs and sent them to Yi Asong.

"The easiest thing is to drugged, for me those two sacred cows do not pose any threat, I can sneak into Colchis in the dead of night to drug these two sacred cows, make them weak and weak, and then you only need a little force to put the two sacred cows down.

Of course, the disadvantage is that if you use this method, you can only rely on yourself to cultivate the four acres of land. In the name of beating the sacred cows too hard, you can lead them to plow the land with your own strength. Anyway, the king just asked you to plow the land with the two sacred cows, and pulling them to plow the land is also a solution. ”

"That'...... What about the troublesome way? ”

"Troublesome?"

Zheng Shu smiled maliciously and looked Yi Asong up and down.

"Of course, it will be a special training for you, so that you can reach the point where you can kill two sacred cows alone in these three days. Don't worry, I have received the true transmission of Teacher Charon, coupled with targeted training, it is not a problem to defeat the Sacred Cow in three days. ”

"Really?"

"Really, would you like to give it a try? There should still be some time before the banquet starts, and after my training, you can clearly feel the change in your strength. ”

Yi Asong always felt that Zheng Shu's eyes had bad intentions, but after thinking about it, he still decided to rely on his own strength, after all, if he did this, he would be able to have more capital when he bragged about it.

"Okay, that's for you."

……

……

"Oh, oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't be arrogant, please be merciful and merciful, I choose another way."

Yi Asong lay on the deck and wailed fiercely, crying bitterly and kneeling to the ground begging Zheng Shu to let him go.

He felt that there was no place in his body that was not painful, as if his whole person had been trampled by a herd of elephants.

Zheng Shu didn't lie, the method he used to train Yi Asong was also the same one that Kajon used when he trained him.

The problem is that Zheng Shu had already strengthened Hercules's reinforcement template, and his strength was unique among mortals, and the training program he could use was cruel torture in the eyes of others.

"Don't give up, you stand up and try, even if it's such a short time, you should have a more obvious change."

Zheng Shu stood aside with a smile on his face, with a resuscitative divinity, and he was not worried about training Yi Ah Song to death at all.

Moreover, in the process of constantly using divine healing, the residual divine power in the body can also strengthen the physique of mortals.

Theoretically speaking, if Yi Asong can really withstand Zheng Shu's devil training in the past few days, he will definitely be able to make his strength rise a lot.

However, it is obvious that for a person like Yi Asong, with a thigh hug next to him and no life-and-death crisis, his will will be reduced to the lowest, and naturally he will not be able to withstand such training.

"Okay, you can choose the first method."

Zheng Shu shrugged his shoulders and looked like he was very talkative.

"Don't worry, I'm very precise, I've been feeding a little herb to the sacred cow every night for the past few days, to make sure they just look a little bad and won't be discovered."

"Thank you so much."

With a bang, Yi Asong's head was clubbed in front of Zheng Shu, looking like he knelt down to thank him.

"You don't have to do such a big thing...... Ah? ”

Zheng Shu looked at Yi Asong, who had lost consciousness, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Did I overexert myself a little just now?" ”

"Are you sure you really want to help this guy?"

Atalanta's figure emerged from the darkness beside her, and she frowned in disgust as she looked at Iason, who had passed out on the deck.

Even she could feel that in such a short period of time, Yi Asong's strength had improved significantly.

Of course, as the divine power in this guy's body is rapidly dissipating, most of the increased strength will eventually fall, but at least some of the improved strength will be retained.

With such a convenient way to increase his strength, it can be confirmed that Zheng Shu is indeed doing his best to cultivate him, but this guy has given up such a thing so easily.

For Atalanta, such a lavish person is the most disgusting thing for hunters like her, who have lived in the wild since childhood.

The beasts of the forest emphasize the law of the jungle, and if you can find a way to increase your strength, you must persist as much as possible, even if you are exhausted.

"Hercules didn't say anything when he left, but he did ask me to help Iason. And no matter what, this guy can be regarded as my senior brother, and he can help if he can. ”

Zheng Shu smiled indifferently, this is the benefit of being powerful, as long as he wants to, he can achieve a perfect ending, and there is more than one way to achieve it.

"By the way, thank you for helping me cover up my departure. How, what kind of fruit do you want to eat? ”

"Fruit...... Not for the time being, I've been eating a lot these days. ”

Atalanta touched her belly, since discovering the puppet's abilities, she had eaten quite happily in the past few days, but she was not very hungry.

"By the way, if you really want to thank me, give me that doll."

Zheng Shu took out the earthy yellow spar, sensed his remaining divine energy, and twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly.

"How much fruit have you eaten these days? And I left the divinity in it so that I could heal at a critical time, so you don't want to eat it all. ”

"You have to take care of it!"

Atalanta grinned in exasperation, looking like an angry cat.

"Okay, it's my fault, I shouldn't have just talked too much."

Zheng Shu laughed, easily filled in the missing divinity in the spar, and then casually threw it to Atalanta.

"Take it, I infused a little more divinity into it, with the recovery ability of the divine power itself, as long as you don't let him give birth to too many fruits at once, it can recover slowly."

"Long-winded!"

Atalanta's face turned red, and according to the method taught by Zheng Shu, he entered the magic power, and the spar in front of him immediately turned back into a puppet.

"Are you leaving?" Atalanta asked suddenly after transforming the puppet back into a hedrome.

Zheng Shu paused, and then waved his hand at her:

"Yes, the feast is about to begin, and I'm going to drug those two cows while there's no one. Yes! By the way, remember to wake up Iason, this guy is not very good at training, but he is definitely fine in attracting attention, and I still need him to attract the attention of others at the banquet. ”

Atalanta didn't speak, just nodded silently, and Zheng Shu left the Argo with a smile.

"I'm not talking about leaving......
