Iasong finally defeated all the dragontooth soldiers and won the final victory.

Like those great deeds that have been celebrated, today, the impossible trial has been passed by him "by his own strength."

Standing among the countless broken bones, Iasong gasped and raised his fist to the sky to declare his victory.

It was late in the day, and there weren't many spectators around, except for the members of the Argo Tour, who had turned back to watch his performance, so the cheers weren't too loud, but Iason still felt genuinely proud.

His equipment and spear in his hand were completely shattered, and his muscular body was covered in bruises.

Even if Aetes had secretly swapped the dragon's fangs, it would still be enough to crush most of the armies of this era.

As a result, Iason's fight was quite difficult, he had countless moments of life and death crisis, and he also survived countless times with his quick wit, and the heroes of the Argo who were watching cheered several times to celebrate his victory.

Even Aetheus clapped his hands heartily in praise as he looked at Iason, who was enjoying his victory with his hands raised in the distance.

He breathed a sigh of relief that Iason had passed the test, and that he finally had a reason not to stop stopping the escort from taking the Golden Fleece.

Although the loss of a unique treasure made him a little uncomfortable, his family would be safe, and it was needless to say which was more important, treasure or family.

Clapping his hands, Aetes pondered the current situation.

Iason has passed the test set by "him", and the level of being a "mortal" has passed, so all that remains is the magic dragon representing "Ares".

As long as he defeats the magic dragon, it also means that Iason has passed the test of Ares, and even if he takes the Golden Fleece at that time, Ares, as the god of war, will not have any displeasure.

After all, for the God of War, a fierce battle is more enjoyable for him than a less important bet, even if it is his side that loses.

"I see...... Is Zheng Shu thinking so? ”

Aetheus suddenly figured out Zheng Shu's train of thought, for the gods, the so-called gambling contract has no meaning at all, and the reason why they want to set up a gambling contract is essentially to make themselves feel happy.

On his side, the gods led by the god of war Ares, that is to say, as long as they please the god of war, Ares, it doesn't matter whether they win or lose.

On the other side, among the gods who supported Iason, there was Athena, the goddess of victory.

If you want to please this goddess who represents wisdom and victory, you will naturally show your wisdom in addition to making Iasong victorious.

Therefore, the best solution to this situation is actually to let the goddess of victory win the bet, so that the god of war can see a battle that satisfies him.

As for wisdom......

Aetheus laughed silently, isn't it the greatest manifestation of wisdom that mortals use their intellect to deceive the gods?

"Fortunately, Medea's safety should not be worried about now, and those gods who bet that Iason will not be able to get back the Golden Fleece will definitely keep a close eye on Medea who knows how to pass through the dragon. The rest is none of my business, just wait and see how things develop. ”

The safety of his family was assured, and Aetheus's tense spirit relaxed, but after remembering the power of the dragon, he couldn't help but worry.

"These people...... Can you really deal with the dragon? ”

Aetheus turned his gaze directly to Zheng Shu, he knew very well that of all the people who came to Colchis by boat, only this person could possibly have the ability to fight against the demon dragon.

But it's just ability, the strength of that demon dragon is even he feels difficult to tame, even if Hercules wants to defeat the demon dragon, it is not so easy.

After all, this demon dragon is probably the only dependent demonic beast of the god of war Ares, and its status is even higher than that of the three-headed dog of hell in hell.

And as a dependant of the god of war, he may have defects in other aspects, but he is absolutely qualified in terms of combat effectiveness.

If you want to defeat the demon dragon with your own hard power without knowing the shortcomings of the other party, just thinking about it makes Aetes feel that this is an impossible miracle.

"But...... Aren't the so-called heroes the creators of miracles in the first place? So let me see if you're a qualified hero or not. ”

Aetes' frown eased, and he beckoned, calling the servant beside him.

"Now that Iason has passed my first two trials, tell him that the third test is for him to find a way to get rid of the Golden Fleece. As for the time...... It's set in three days. No one will hinder him, but no one will help him, so then take them to the place where the Golden Fleece is enshrined. ”

After watching the servant leave respectfully, the old king looked at Iason, who was celebrating his victory with the other heroes of the Argo, and suddenly felt that this guy didn't look so annoying after putting aside the problem of the Golden Fleece.

"Because we are all props that the gods use to please themselves...... And if you really do the math, this guy is much worse than me. ”

With that in mind, Aetes slowly left with the others.

……

……

On the tower next to the temple of Hecate, Medea, who had just finished her day's work, was looking at the distant scene through magic.

Iason's gesture of hard fighting was indeed good, and if it had been in the past, she might have really been attracted to that person, but now that Medea knew the truth, she would only find it an eyesore when she looked at those cheering heroes.

As a person who knows the truth of the whole thing, Medea only thinks that this trial is boring, everything is expected by Zheng Shu, and all the people who don't know are played around by that guy.

Even Iasson, who had personally participated in the trial, did not doubt the authenticity of the trial, including the danger, which was calculated by that person.

No, not only humans, but even the gods in the heavens watching this gamble were calculated.

Medea once asked Zheng Shu if such a method could really hide from the gods?

The other party smiled before replying, "Sometimes, being seen through is also part of a ploy. ”

Medea was naturally smart enough that she had seen through the nature of the scheme even before her father.

The other party just used a very simple strategy and perfectly calculated them according to the character of all the gods.

From a very early stage, the attention of the gods has shifted from Yi Ah Song to Zheng Shu, and it was also from that moment that he had already grasped the initiative in this bet.

And after the gods' attention was diverted, Medea was actually safe, and the reason why she stayed in the tower was only because that person was just in case.

Medea didn't know if this was also in the other party's calculations, she only knew that this person's arrival was indeed saving her country.

"Then the next thing left is the demon dragon, in the face of the dependents of the god of war, can you really continue to create miracles?"

Leaning her hands on the table and supporting her chin, Medea turned her magic gaze to Zheng Shu's face, looking at the projected image with an expectant expression.

"I'm looking forward to it."

Unconsciously staring at Zheng Shu's face for a long time, Medea suddenly turned red and waved her hand to cancel the magic: "I haven't been paying attention, does this guy's face look so good?" ”

……

……

"What?! The king told us to go and fetch the Golden Fleece ourselves? ”

Iason looked at the servant in front of him in disbelief, he had just celebrated in the midst of a group of heroes, but now he felt that the sky was about to fall.

Although he had completed the first two trials, Yi Ah Song knew very well what level he was, and he could only pass by relying on Zheng Shu's cheating methods.

Isn't it any different from letting him face Ares's dragon on his own and letting him die directly?

And because of the effect of the medicine, he still has to lie in bed for a few days, even if Aeetes gives him a three-day buffer, that magic dragon is not something that he can solve as a person who has just gotten out of a hospital bed!

No, even if he faced the demon dragon in his heyday, he couldn't beat it!

"Zheng Shu, think of a way, if I really let me go and get the Golden Fleece myself, I will definitely be killed!"

Encountering this kind of unsolvable problem, Yi Asong hugged his thighs as soon as possible.

"Don't worry."

Zheng Shu raised his leg and shook it with disgust, but he didn't shake off Yi Asong who was holding him on his lap, so he could only helplessly pat this guy who was like kraft candy with his hand.

"The gods had foreseen this for a long time, after all, if they wanted to capture the Golden Fleece, they couldn't avoid Lord Ares, the god of war. However, the gods also know that they will not expect you to kill a dragon at all. ”

"Really?!"

Looking at Yi Asong, whose eyes were shining, Zheng Shu was a little suspicious of himself.

"The way you look makes me suspect that I just said something to compliment you...... Let go, let go! Don't worry, Hercules asked me to take care of you before leaving, so don't worry, you can just lie in bed and recuperate these days, I will take care of everything in advance. ”

Zheng Shu finally pulled down the Yi Asong chop hanging on his lap, and sighed helplessly when he saw that this guy was still unrelenting.

"The content of the third trial is just for you to take the Golden Fleece yourself, but it doesn't say that you have to deal with the demon dragon. In other words, as long as I kill the demon dragon in advance. ”

"Wait, you mean you want to do that dragon alone? No way! Absolutely not! Zheng Shu, that is the only family member of the Warlord Ares, even if it is the three-headed dog of hell, it is not as scary as the dragon. If we can't do it, we won't take the Golden Fleece, so I'll go and ask the goddess for forgiveness. ”

Iason, who was already a little incoherent, even wanted to fall on his knees and pray to Athena now.

He originally wanted Zheng Shu to think of a way to avoid the demon dragon, just like using herbs to help him cheat before, but who knew that the solution proposed by the other party was actually to challenge the demon dragon alone.

It was a more difficult thing than Hercules had accomplished, and the Golden Fleece had to force his own brother to do it, and Iason's conscience made it impossible for him to choose to do so.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be quite righteous, I've changed my opinion of you a lot."

Zheng Shu suddenly laughed, and Yi Asong's reaction was a little unexpected.

But if you think about it carefully, judging from this guy's performance in the history of the month, Yi Asong can be regarded as a scumbag scum for women, but for men, he may be the kind of sand sculpture netizen who can chat and fart with you.

But at critical times, this guy can be used as the most trusted backing, and he will never deliberately push you into the fire pit.

It's no wonder that even a person as serious as Hercules has a pretty good opinion of this guy.

"Iason, you must know that the Argo's expedition was not just an adventure to get the Golden Fleece, it was a gamble involving the gods. You have overcome all the obstacles you can overcome with your own wits and the help of others, so this dragon is not a test for you. ”

Zheng Shu patted Yi Ah Song on the shoulder, and then asked the others to carry Yi Ah Song, whose body had begun to gradually weaken, towards the Argo.

"We are now facing Ares, the god of war, and if we want to pass his test, we can't use any tricks to defeat this dragon, someone must defeat him head-on, and dedicate the victory of defeating the demon dragon to the gods in order to satisfy the god of war."

What Yi Ah Song said just now made Zheng Shu very satisfied, so he also decided to reveal a little more information to Yi Ah Song.

"So, rest assured, Iason, if you are willing to consider me a friend, then trust me and believe that I can successfully complete this trial."

……

……

After Zheng Shu's persuasion, Yi Asong finally stopped struggling and was carried away obediently.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

Atalanta emerged from the shadows of the nearby woods, and because she didn't like places that were too lively, she had been hiding in the canopy next to her since just now.

"It's easy, find the dragon and kill it." Zheng Shu gave Atalanta a thumbs up.

“……”

Atalanta stared at Zheng Shu for a moment, as if to confirm whether the guy in front of her was joking.

"Are you sure, it's a family member of the god of war."

"I know, but unfortunately, it seems that there is only one way to kill it now."

"You might die there."

"Wrong! I'm definitely going to win. ”

Atalanta looked at Zheng Shu's confident expression and suddenly laughed.

"Originally, I was worried about your emotions, but now it seems that there is no need to worry, and you yourself seem to be looking forward to this fight."

"Oops, am I acting that obvious?"

"The smile on your face hasn't faded since just now."

Zheng Shu touched his face when he heard this, but he didn't find that he was smiling, and then he realized that he had been tricked.

After teasing Zheng Shu, Atalanta seemed to be very happy, waved at Zheng Shu and turned to leave.

"Don't die, I'll treat you to fruit when you're victorious."

"Anyway...... If memory serves, those fruits were grown by my strength. ”

Zheng Shu smiled at the figure of Atalanta leaving, and turned his head to look at the tower in the distance.

"Next, it's time to see how the 'Golden Fleece' is ready."

(The magic dragon is stronger than the three-headed dog of hell, it's not that I blow, in ancient Greek mythology, in the same case of knowing the weakness, the three-headed dog of hell only needs one god to deal with it easily, while the magic dragon needs two gods to work together to solve it, and it is quite reluctant.) ）
