Chapter 404: Feeding the Medicine
Next to the temple of the goddess of magic, Hekate, is a tower that looks quite mysterious.
Medea was in her bedroom studying magic.
After mixing the last potion, Medea yawned, pushed away the tools in front of her, and lay down on the table.
"I hope my father's side can succeed, the research environment here is too simple."
Medea didn't live here, and the tower was the place where she lived during her sacrifices.
Under normal circumstances, Medea also lived inside the palace, with her own special laboratory, which was too simple compared to the laboratory that Aetes had built with all his efforts throughout the country.
But there is nothing that can be done, and after the greed in his mind is erased, Aetes suddenly discovers a problem.
It is indeed possible that nothing will happen to him, but his family, especially his daughter, is likely to become a prop for those gods to help Yi Asong.
As a king living in ancient Greece, Aetes had considerable confidence in the discipline of these gods, who were the strongest backing of mankind in times of crisis, but were the greatest danger to mankind when there was no danger.
Fortunately, some time ago, there seemed to be a war between the gods in Mount Olympus, so the attention of most of the gods was involved.
Therefore, the number of gods who paid attention to Iason's adventure had plummeted, allowing Aetheus and Zheng Shu to fool the past with some small means.
Just in case, Medea has to live in this tower in recent times and accept the protection of Hekate, the goddess of magic.
"What, why do I have to be accompanied by that guy if I want to go out."
Medea pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, but although she was still young, she knew some things and would not do things that would raise blood pressure too much.
"It's really troublesome, that guy should leave quickly, my experiments have been forced to stop."
Medea turned her head in the direction of the window and sighed as she looked at the moon in the sky.
Then Medea's expression suddenly froze, for she saw a hand hanging from the edge of the window.
Followed by......
Smack.
The other hand was also lying on the edge of the window.
"Ah!!h
Medea was so frightened that her hair stood on end, her long supple purple hair looked like it was fried, and she fell from her chair, sweeping away some of the bottles and books around her.
"Good evening......
Rumble!
Zheng Shu's head leaked out of the window, and before he could finish greeting, a bottle of potion was thrown in his face, and at the moment the bottle broke, it exploded into a huge fireball, enveloping Zheng Shu's head and the entire room.
"Hey, are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Zheng Shu waved his hand to control all the elements in the room, and then transformed the bursting flames into pure magic power, all absorbing them into his body.
Medea sat on the ground and broke out in a cold sweat, just now, the exploding flames were only a few centimeters away from her face, almost hitting her, Medea could even smell the burnt mush of her own hair.
"Isn't it your fault? Why did you run in through the window?! ”
Medea, who stood up, was still afraid, and the whole person trembled with fright, reached out and picked up the two bottles of potions next to her, and seemed to be eager to throw them out immediately.
"Hey, hey, hey! Be careful, get these dangerous items farther away. ”
Zheng Shu watched Medea pick up two bottles of potion in her hand again, and the cold sweat came down, he really didn't expect that there was this type of potion thing, this thing was completely a magic grenade.
Medea rolled her eyes when she heard this, but she obediently put the two bottles of potions in her hand on the table.
"What are you doing here?"
"Of course, because the banquet has begun, so it's time for us to get to work, is the potion you made before ready ready?"
Medea snorted proudly and opened the cabinet to reveal six bottles of potions neatly arranged inside.
"Of course, who do you think I am, I completed such a simple job in less than half a day."
"Oh, that's amazing!"
Zheng Shu sincerely leaned on the window and applauded, while Medea also raised her head proudly after hearing the praise, looking like a proud swan.
But soon she realized that her behavior was a little too childish, so she lowered her head with a red face and glared at Zheng Shu viciously.
"You haven't said why you climbed in through the window, you just came in through the door."
Zheng Shu was a little inexplicable that he was suddenly glared at, and then suddenly realized after hearing Medea's words.
"That's right! Sorry, sorry, get used to it, I thought we were still hostile. ”
Zheng Shu felt that what Medea said was very reasonable, so he jumped from the window again, leaving only Medea confused.
It wasn't long before she heard a request from the guards outside the door.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
"Let him in!"
Before the guard could finish speaking, Medea gritted her teeth and interrupted the other party.
"Hello, Your Highness Princess, I'll get the potion I said in advance."
Looking at Zheng Shu, who was standing at the door as if the two had not met just now, Medea's face involuntarily showed dead fish eyes.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the irritability in her heart, she picked up the staff and two bottles of potions beside her, and strode past Zheng Shu to the door.
"Let's go!"
"Huh? Are you going out too? If I go to drug the sacred cow, I only need to be alone. ”
"Long-winded! Because of you guys, I'm stuck in the tower all day. Didn't my father say that? If I want to go out, I have to be accompanied by you, and it just so happens that you are here, and I want to go out to breathe. ”
With Medea's mouth full of resentment, Zheng Shu could only smile awkwardly and follow behind her.
And the protective stance of the god's armament on his body, which was in a restrained state, expanded to the surroundings of Medea's body under the control of Zheng Shu's mind.
Although Iasong has been stabilized by him, it is better to be careful just in case.
Although the effect will drop a lot after the protective stance is expanded, it can at least serve as a warning, once a god really issues a curse, so that Zheng Shu can help Medea remove the influence of the gods in the first place.
……
……
On this night, the whole city of Colchis was partying.
Originally, he was obviously the protagonist of the banquet, but he didn't seem to have any spirit, and the group of heroes who had confirmed that the test had nothing to do with them, but once there was a banquet, they would also be involved in the heroes who followed him to party on the streets.
People hooked shoulders in the square in front of the palace, danced around the bonfire, and drank wine and ate meat.
And because of the deliberate connivance of Aetes, there were no guards at all on the luxurious bullpen, allowing Zheng Shu and Medea to easily sneak inside.
"There's really no one, but I'm worried about what to do if someone finds out."
Medea glanced at the cowshed that was completely plunged into darkness, became bold, and walked directly around Zheng Shu and walked in.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, I think it's better for you to be careful, after all, those two cows are not anything to mess with."
Zheng Shu hurriedly reached out and grabbed the wide back collar of Medea's magic robe, lifted her up, and then put her behind him.
"I'm not as weak as you think."
Medea was a little dissatisfied, but she was very obedient and did not move on.
Zheng Shu looked at her and nodded with satisfaction, not to mention anything else, at least in terms of listening to people, this young witch is indeed quite satisfying, don't worry about causing any extra mess.
"Don't worry, as long as you're standing behind me, you won't get hurt, so don't worry too much."
Zheng Shu casually touched Medea's head and disrupted the long hair she had just groomed.
"Who wants you to protect me?"
Medea covered her head, but her face was inexplicably a little red, and Zheng Shu's words were particularly like some kind of declaration.
However, Medea quickly adjusted her mentality, hiding behind Zheng Shu and looking at the room in the distance.
"What do you want to do? Those two cows could not be controlled by even the best warriors of Colchis, and even his father relied on the gods to conquer them. And their sense of smell is so acute that they can't hide a potion like the one I made from their noses, even if you sprinkle it on the feed. ”
"Don't be that troublesome."
Zheng Shu didn't have any intention to hide himself at all, and strode towards the luxurious house in the distance.
It seemed that they smelled an unfamiliar smell, and the temperature around the house began to rise, indicating that the two sacred cows had woken up.
"If you are killed by the sacred cow, I will not save you, if it really doesn't work, I have prepared another potion that can make you turn into an animal and escape."
Medea flipped through the pouch around her waist and took out a different bottle of potion from it.
"Don't worry, it's not enough for me to run away in the face of such a guy. By the way, do me a favor and block out the movement here, it might be louder later. ”
"Humph! I've done this a long time ago. ”
Medea snapped her fingers triumphantly, and with her command, a huge magic circle lit up over the entire cowshed, and then disappeared silently.
"But don't you really need help? If you can't do it, I'll give you some magic. ”
"Thank you for your concern, but you don't have to work so hard, you just need to take it behind me to watch the show."
Zheng Shu was still a little afraid of Medea running around, so he simply tied her waist with her own tail and let her sit on her tail like she was on a swing.
This hand Zheng Shu is quite familiar with the road, after all, on the mysterious island, the three goddesses have to swing with their tails whenever they are free.
"Huh?!"
Medea suddenly felt something more on her waist and screamed in fright, but soon found out the reason, and her attention was immediately attracted by this furry tail, and she touched it in disbelief and found that it was really a living thing.
"What is this?"
"You can see it at a glance, it's my tail, of course. Sit down, I'm going to move a bit. ”
Zheng Shu bent down and put his hands on the ground, and then lifted a large rock from the ground under Medea's dull gaze, and threw it with great ease, blasting the stone into the house like a cannonball.
"Two, get up!"
Rumble!
"Moo!!"
A huge rock with a diameter of more than a meter blasted directly into the ornate house, and in the ruins, two burning oxen slammed into the ground.
"Hey! Don't beat them to death. ”
"Don't worry, I've got the strength right, that stone just now won't hurt anyone at all except for destroying houses, it's just a little lesson for them."
"Ah no, it's pretty impressive to be able to destroy a house all at once."
Looking at the two sacred cows that had stood up in the distance, Medea couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"But it looks like these two sacred cows seem to be quite angry, can you handle it?"
"Moo!"
With two angry roars, the two sacred cows directly stepped on the air and flew up, and the flames on their bodies became more dazzling.
After running a little to accelerate, they rushed towards Zheng Shu from the sky, looking like two meteors.
"Oh, I didn't expect to be so irritable, fortunately you met me, if you meet a certain little brother surnamed Liu, it is so easy to get angry, I'm afraid that I will not pull you to the river on the spot to teach you how to make cows!"
Of course, the two sacred cows can understand people's words, although they can't understand what the other party is saying, but the other party is definitely not saying anything good, the speed of the sprint is a little faster, and the temperature emitted by the flames on their bodies is getting hotter and hotter.
When they came to Zheng Shu's body, the expected feeling of the enemy being overflew and the screams did not appear.
The hooves slashed weakly in place a few times, and the two sacred cows felt something strong hold firmly on their heads.
Raising their heads in some confusion, the sacred cows found that the tower-like strong man in front of them easily held them down with only two hands.
So the sacred cows froze, and the little cows' eyes were full of great doubts.
Not only the sacred cow, but Medea's eyes widened involuntarily.
As we all know, it is impossible for humans to match the strength of wild beasts, let alone the top magical beasts like these two sacred cows.
It is almost impossible for ordinary humans to fight at this level, and even god-blood heroes need to rely on weapons, magic, potions, and traps to bridge the power gap with them.
But the scene in front of her has completely subverted her common sense, and it is a miracle that has turned the impossible into a possibility.
"You guy...... Is it really human? ”
"I'm sorry, I need you to be quiet for a while."
Zheng Shu clasped his hands tightly and slammed the heads of the two sacred cows to the ground.
"Moo!"
Two thick pillars of fire erupted from the body of the divine cow, crossing and submerging Zheng Shu's body.
Rumble!
Zheng Shu emerged from the flames unscathed, pulled the head of the sacred cow up, and pressed it to the ground again.
Although the two flame attacks just now were abrupt, they could still be reacted to for Zheng Shu.
He used the protective stance of the God's Weapon to absorb most of the power, so that Medea behind him was not burned by the flames at close range.
After two rounds of testing, Zheng Shu had already controlled the tolerance limit of the two divine cows very accurately, so he raised his fists and smashed them on the head without hesitation.
Boom!
As soon as the eyes of the two sacred cows darkened, they immediately fell into a baby-like sleep, and their originally tense bodies immediately became relaxed.
"Gollum ......"
Alone feeling a mouthful of saliva, Medea looked at the two unconscious sacred cows on the ground, and her face looked a little worried.
"They're not going to die, are they?"
After all, Zheng Shu's two punches just now were shaking even the ruins of the houses in the distance, and the flames that had always existed on the sacred cow's body had also been extinguished.
This made Medea frightened, for fear that the divine beast of her country would die on the spot.
"Don't worry, I'm in control of the attack." Zheng Shu grinned, "Give me those two bottles of potions." ”
"Okay!"
Medea took out the potion from her waist bag with great efficiency and handed it to Zheng Shu with both hands, she now knew why the person in front of her said that she didn't need to think about taste and other things when she let herself make potions.
Zheng Shu picked up one of the potions and pulled the stopper, then grabbed the mouth of the sacred cow with one hand and slammed it into it with the other.
The size of the sacred cow is much larger than that of ordinary cows, but their mouths are still a little smaller than Zheng Shu's arms, even if they have lost consciousness, Zheng Shu stuffed his arms into their mouths so strongly, the sacred cow was choked and involuntarily twitched.
Looking at the sacred cow that was constantly twitching even in a coma, Medea felt a little incredible, she had seen how much effort her father had spent to conquer these two sacred cows, if it weren't for the help of magic, maybe she wouldn't be able to beat them.
However, in the hands of the person in front of him, such a powerful sacred cow looked as weak as a toddler, and could only be easily manipulated powerlessly.
Such a contrast made Medea's eyes shine with a strange light.
"That's what it is...... Heroes? ”
The palm of her hand unconsciously stroked Zheng Shu's fluffy tail, and Medea suddenly felt that the strong muscles on this guy's body were not so ugly, after all, ...... It's a symbol of strength.
After pouring a bottle of potion, another divine cow was also concocted, Zheng Shu quickly finished the medicine on the two divine cows, and then clapped his hands indifferently.
"Okay, today's medicine is finished, let's continue tomorrow."
Casually pinching the two potion bottles into powder and destroying the evidence, Zheng Shu glanced at Medea who was sitting on his tail and didn't know what he was thinking, thought for a while, and asked:
"Now that we're fine, how's it going? Do you have anything you would like to visit? I can go around with you. ”
What Medea had said earlier made him suddenly understand, the arrival of the Argo and Iason, who had to huddle in a small tower.
Although it's not my fault, I don't have much to do now anyway, so I can take her out to play.
"Really?"
Medea's train of thought was interrupted, and her eyes lit up with surprise.
In any case, Medea is also the most active and active age, and even if she is obedient and sensible in the tower all day, she will feel a little bored.
What's more, in order to welcome the arrival of the heroes of the Argo today, a grand banquet was held throughout Colchis, and the pain of being held in the house and unable to go out, and only watching others play is unimaginable for a child.
"Of course, but cover your face with magic to prevent people from being recognized, I don't want your father to come and beat me then."
"Yay!"
Medea cheered and jumped off Zheng Shu's tail, her expression a little impatient.
"Of course no problem, let's go, let's go, the banquet has been going on for a long time, and now is the time to be lively."
As the figures of the two walked farther and farther, only the two sacred cows who had fallen into a coma were left in the darkness and fell miserably in the cowshed.
