Chapter 593：

"Cough cough cough..."

Unexpectedly, the other six people were choked with the wine and coughed again and again, their faces flushed.

"This wine...It's really strong..." After a long while, Te Ramon was the first to say. The others nodded and looked at Jason with dumbfounded expressions.

They had guessed that they had been cheated by Jason.

"This is the real man, the wine that a real hero should drink," Ogaas also said, and then took a small sip. What had happened just now taught him his lesson.

"We should buy more to bring to our friends on the ship."

"I think so too," Jason agreed. "Colkis is really different. At least they do have a set of wines. Next, let’s take a look at their dishes. I don’t seem to have many of these dishes. I've seen it before."

So, hungry, they began to feast on.

"Well, this is so fragrant and crisp, how did it make it."

"This, this is delicious, this kind of taste... Brother Jason also come and have a taste."

"This taste... so fragrant, I have never tasted it before."

"I remember when I met Mr. Ye Ting in Iolkos, he and Miss Circe said that the food there was not good. I didn't believe it at the time. I thought Iolkos's food was considered in the whole of Greece. Not bad, but now..."

In addition to this wine, the rest of the dishes in the tavern also made the heroes full of praise.

There are many factors that cause this result, such as many seasonings from the Mystral Academy, such as the cooking methods that are obviously different from the Greek roasting and boiling, that is, the freshness of the ingredients is guaranteed, and the shortcomings of the ingredients are eliminated. The taste is even more complete. After tasting a few dishes, they are no longer surprised that it is so simple.

"Bartender, how do you make these dishes?" Jason asked a man passing by after he was full of food and drink.

"You are the people who come here to learn magic from other places. These dishes use the cooking methods and ingredients that Colquist has." The bartender obviously regarded them as coming to Colchis and trying to go to Mystra College. The mage is out.

In this era when there are no ocean-going ships (Argo is the first), besides the wizard, basically not many other people can come to Colchis from the mainland to talk.

Item 0746

The bartender's words did not surprise them. After all, Jason had never eaten such dishes in other places.

Only the so-called "learning magic" from the bartender made him a little concerned.

So Jason took out a small piece of gold and placed it in the hands of the bartender.

"Can you tell me more about it for us?" Jason said with a smile looking at the energetic bartender in front of him, "This is the reward."

"Of course, of course." After receiving such a tip, the bartender couldn't help but smile and treat everyone with a lot of respect. After all, he is a rich person who can easily use gold as a tip.

Next, the bartender seriously introduced Jason and others how to prepare various dishes. Seeing his proficiency, it was obvious that he had done this many times.

"Actually, it is said that these new cooking methods were also passed on from the masters. In the past, we only had two methods of grilling and boiling food. My grandpa said that," the bartender revealed, "You Not to mention, these mages are indeed smart people, even if they eat, there are many tricks, for example, this dish is called stir-fry."

With that, he pointed to a scrambled egg with onion.

"Stir-fry?"

Jason, who had just delivered a chopsticks to his mouth, couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Bartender, what is cooking?" Te Ramon asked with interest.

"This, I'm really hard to say for a while. To put it simply, it's the cooking process of using a large iron pan, using high heat, oil, spices, and using a special tool, a spatula, to stir-fry the vegetables. "

Although he works in a tavern, the bartender is not professional after all, and can only be explained in the simplest terms.

Next, he explained the two cooking methods of "steaming" and "frying" to the heroes, as well as various spices and spices that the heroes had not seen before, which made them amazed.

Finally, Jason asked again what "learning magic" means?

"Didn’t you guys come to learn magic?" The bartender was a little strange about his question, because the outsiders here all came to learn magic, but he explained it roughly for the sake of gold, "Actually, according to According to those masters, there is a small town near our kingdom of Korkis that only allows wizards to enter, a castle that only wizards can go to. According to legend, there is a gathering of the most powerful wizards in Greece. All the wizards in Greece want I went there to learn magic, so I came to Colkis for a long distance. On the contrary, a few such outsiders who came to Colkis not for magic are relatively rare."

"No wonder there are so many magic items for sale here, no wonder there are so many people wearing robes here." Jason suddenly realized.

"Isn't it?" The bartender continued, "In fact, the influence of the masters on our country is more than that. I heard from Grandpa that there was no king in Colchis in the past, and there were not so many mages. This is an isolated island in a village. Everyone’s ancestors are people who drifted over from the mainland, but since King Aethes established the Kingdom of Corkis here, everything is different. Everyone obeys the king’s discipline, and the mages follow. Appeared."

"Why is this?" Jason was a little curious. "Does the mages obey King Aethes?"

He was a little worried about this. If this is the case, then King Aethes has too much power. As a mage, Ye Ting’s power, Jason, has seen it. It is by virtue of magic that Ye Ting takes a few seconds. Zhong subdued Hippolyte in the Ten Thousand Army, a female warrior who could be an Argonaut with more than one enemy, and a strong man who could face Hercules head-on.

Being able to capture her so quickly shows how powerful Ye Ting is as a mage.

Even if other mages were not as good as Ye Ting, they wouldn't be much worse.

If King Aethes could really order many mages, what golden fleece would they still grab? Run away as soon as possible.

But the bartender's next words made him relieved.

"That's not true," the bartender shook his head. "Of course King Aethes can't order mages. The king is the son of the great **** Helios, and those mages believe in Hecate, the **** of mages."

"Hecate, what **** is that?" Jason said that he had never heard of it.

"I don't know," the bartender thought for a while, and continued, "I once heard a master mage who came to eat say that a long, long time ago, probably before my grandfather was born, the goddess Hecate used to She is also a mage on the island of Colchis, but she is the most powerful one among the mages. Finally one day, she mastered the highest state of magic, and suddenly became a **** stronger than the great **** Zeus. Just."

"How can a mortal become a god?"

"Are you kidding me."

"The mage is absolutely bragging!"

"How could there be a **** stronger than Zeus?"

After listening, the heroes expressed their disbelief.

"It's true," the bartender thought they thought he was lying, and immediately defended himself. "Masters all say that, everyone is like this."

As if afraid that they would not believe it yet, the bartender lowered his voice.

"I also heard from them that the goddess Hecate lives on this island, in the castle where the mages gather."

This incident is even more amazing.

There are gods living on this island?

But if there are so many wizards who believe in the **** of wizards, maybe this **** really exists.

It’s just that the so-called "mortals become gods" and "stronger than Zeus" is obviously a lie. It is the bragging boast of the mage to their gods, but even if the **** of the mage is not stronger than Zeus, at least it will not be better than Zeus. How bad is Zeus.

As for the rumors of Hecate on this island, it may also be true. At least there are many mages gathered here, which cannot be faked.

Jason analyzed the news from the bartender.

But he never expected that what he regarded as a "ridiculous lie" was in fact all true.
