Chapter 594

Suddenly, he thought of a detail mentioned by the bartender.

"You said that Goddess Hecate used to be a mage on the island of Colchis before grandpa was born?" Although he didn't believe this, Jason was keenly aware of the implications of this news. Content.

"At that time, there were mages on this island?"

It was not that early for Aietes to establish the kingdom of Colchis.

"Yes," the bartender nodded, "it is said that before King Aietes came, this island was a holy place for mages, but at that time mages were hiding from ordinary people."

"Then why was King Aietes able to establish a kingdom here? Aren't the mages afraid of being disturbed by him? And why did the mages only appear after he established the kingdom of Colchis, so they don't hide from you?"

"I don't know about that," the bartender shook his head. "Probably because King Aietes has a good relationship with the mages? Or is it because God Helios has a good relationship with Goddess Hecate?"

The bartender's answer seemed possible to Jason, but he still didn't understand what the real situation was.

Chapter 0747 Meet Aietes

With the secrets he heard from the bartender, and a bewildered stomach, Jason left the tavern.

He didn't know that after he left, the bartender started to clean up the table for them. Suddenly, the bartender shuddered and his eyes became confused.

"I... just fell asleep? What did I just do, why can't I remember? Did I fall asleep?"

Like waking up from a big dream, the bartender wiped his face and suddenly took out the piece of gold that Jason gave him as a tip from his arms.

"This... Where did this come from? Was it stolen? Or..."

Unable to understand, the bartender immediately put it back into his arms and walked away quickly.

But no one noticed that a handsome man wearing a gorgeous robe and holding a staff appeared out of thin air in the air after he left, and then disappeared in a space distortion, leaving only a scheming smile.

Jason never realized how could a bartender know so many secrets about wizards?

...

Next, Jason had no intention of wandering around the city.

The information from the bartender made him realize that behind this island, this kingdom and those mages was a huge shady secret, which made him feel a little worried about his purpose of taking the Golden Fleece.

Even if King Aietes couldn't order the mages, his background was worth considering, and he decided that he wasn't someone to deal with.

However, since he had already come to Colchis Island, it would be impossible to say without trying it.

No matter how powerful the power behind Aietes is, they cannot give up halfway as Argonauts.

Otherwise, I would be sorry for so many people who followed him all the way here, and so many companions who sacrificed on the road.

Thinking like this, Jason brought the six people back into their original Greek clothes, and came to the entrance of the palace of Colchis with the scepter of peace.

Under the leadership of the palace servants, they entered the palace.

Compared with the city outside, the palace is another scene.

There are thick palace walls, towering gates and majestic columns, and a protruding stone wall surrounds the entire building.

They crossed the front yard gate and saw a pavilion covered with vines and four ever-flowing fountains, strangely, one of these fountains spewed milk, one spewed wine, and the other spewed sesame oil. , the last spew of water that is warm in winter and cool in summer.

Then there is the inner courtyard, which is full of double doors and luxurious inner rooms, and the colonnades on both sides are also carefully carved. There is also a taller building on each side that intersects the colonnade.

Although the palace scenery here is more gorgeous than the city outside, but it is particularly familiar to them.

Because the style of the palace is obviously Greek, not the European medieval architecture that is unheard of in the city.

This is obviously because Aietes is the Son of God.

The construction of the palace was done entirely by one of its parents, without the influence of the magical pantheon.

They walked from the front yard into the middle yard. The columns on both sides, separated from left and right, lead to many palaces and boulevards.

When Jason and the others walked forward, they saw several independent palaces.

King Aietes and his children lived there.

When the palace maid told King Aietes that the four brothers of Argos had entered the palace with three foreigners, King Aietes and Queen Ideia immediately came to greet the four grandsons and three guests from abroad.

When meeting the Argonauts, Argos and the others once said that their grandfather was a cruel person, which of course was only to intimidate the Argonauts.

In fact, Aietes was warm and kind, so after the golden fleece and golden sheep came to the kingdom of Colchis with Phryxos, Aietes not only adopted Phryxos, but also took his eldest daughter Kalchi. Ober married Phryxos, a demigod hero of noble birth.

Knowing that Jason and others rescued four grandsons on the island of Aretea, and that Jason was also the cousin of the four brothers of Argos, King Aietes invited Jason to join Augeas and Tetra. Ramon entered the banquet hall of the royal palace, and let the servants offer rich wine and food to the noble guests.

When the banquet was about to end, the four Argos brothers told King Aietes what had happened to them, and told the Argonauts what had happened.

of his intentions to tell King Aietes.

"I don't want to hide it from you, grandfather."

Argos whispered in front of Aietes.

"King Pelias took the throne that originally belonged to our cousin Jason, and now Jason must get the Golden Fleece before King Pelias is willing to return the throne to Jason."

Hearing his grandson's words, Aietes couldn't help but laugh angrily.

As a king, he could easily judge the purpose of King Pelias.

King Pelias asked Jason to take the Golden Fleece. His idea was very obvious, that is, to let Jason die in the adventure and no longer threaten his throne.

So Aietes looked at Jason coldly, and couldn't help sneering.

"Young hero! Are you so naive and stupid? Let me tell you the truth, even if I asked you to bring back the Golden Fleece, King Pelias would never have given you the throne. If you were real If you are a hero, you should defeat King Pelias in an upright manner, and take back the throne that originally belonged to you just like King Pelias took the throne from your father Aeson. I have received an oracle once, the oracle told me , my life is with the golden fleece, and if I lose the golden fleece, I shall lose my life. Therefore I will never give the golden fleece to you."

It may not be stupid to have Jason, and he may have ambitions as a hero, but politically, he is still very naive to believe that if the Golden Fleece is retrieved, King Pelias will return the throne to him.

But when he heard Aietes' refusal words, he still stood up and refuted neither humble nor arrogant.

"King Aietes! I am neither naive nor stupid. Pelias is my uncle, and unlike you, I believe he is a man of his word... Even if he is not at ease, as long as I Retrieve the Golden Fleece and let Uncle Pelias know that I am a mighty young hero, and he may change his mind and give me the throne."

"Jason! You want me to lose the Golden Fleece, and my life, just because of what you believe in, that trivial possibility?"

King Aietes asked angrily.

"Do you know that I am in front of you, the son of Helios, the former sun god? In order to take back the throne of Thessaly Kingdom, you have to take away the golden fleece and my life. This is declaring war on me. Jason, I won't kill you now. Tomorrow you gather all the Argonauts and fight with me! As long as you can defeat me and kill me, you can walk on my body and take the golden fleece."

Chapter 0748 Oracle Question

Negotiations began to become difficult when Aietes said that the existence of the Golden Fleece was tied to his own life through the oracle.

For Jason, getting the Golden Fleece meant taking Aietes' life.

Murdering the life of a completely unrelated person in order to regain his throne is not something to be commended even for someone with all kinds of wild hearts like Jason.
