Chapter 594：

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

"You said, in the age when Grandpa was not born, Goddess Hecate was once a mage on this Corkis Island?" Although I didn't believe this, Jason was keenly aware of the implications of this news. Content.

"At that time there was a wizard on this island?"

Aethes established the Kingdom of Colchis not so early.

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

"Then why is King Aethes able to establish a kingdom here? Are the wizards not afraid to be disturbed by him? And why did the wizards only appear after he established the Kingdom of Corkis and don't avoid you?"

"I don't know about that," the bartender shook his head, "probably because of the good relationship between King Aethes and the wizards? Or is the relationship between the **** Helios and the goddess Hecate?"

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

Item 0747

With the secrets he heard from the bartender, and a belly of doubt, Jason left the tavern.

He didn't know that after he left, the bartender began to tidy up the table for them. Suddenly, the bartender was excited and his eyes became confused.

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

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

"This...Where did this come from? Did it steal it? Or..."

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

No one noticed that a handsome man wearing a gorgeous robe and holding a staff appeared out of thin air after he left, and then disappeared in a twist of space, leaving only a tricky smile.

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

...

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 the mages is a huge shady, which made him feel a bit worried about his purpose of capturing the Golden Fleece.

Even if the king of Aethes could not order the mages, his own background was worth considering, and he decided that he was not a good person to deal with.

However, since he had come to Colchis Island, he couldn't justify it without trying.

No matter how powerful the power behind Aetes is, they can't give up halfway as Argonauts.

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

Thinking about this, Jason brought the six people back to their original Greek attire, holding the peace scepter and came to the gate of Colchis's palace.

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

Compared with the city outside, the palace is a different landscape.

There are thick palace walls, majestic 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 constant streams of fountains. Strangely, these fountains spouted milk, wine, and sesame oil. , The last spurt 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. On both sides, a tall building intersects with the colonnade.

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

Because the style of this palace is obviously the Greek style, rather than the European medieval architectural style unheard of in the city.

This is obviously because Aethes is the son of god.

The construction of the palace was completely completed by one of his parents, and was not affected by the magical gods.

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

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

King Eetes and his children lived in it.

When the palace maid told King Eedes that the four brothers of Argos and three foreigners had entered the palace, King Eedes and Queen Idia rushed to welcome the four grandsons and three of them. Guests from out of town.

When meeting with the Argonauts, Argos and the others once said that their grandfather was a cruel man. Of course, this was just to intimidate the Argonauts.

In fact, Aeotes is warm and kind, so after the Golden Fleece Golden Sheep came to the Kingdom of Colchis with Flixos, Aeotes not only adopted Flixos, but also took his eldest daughter Calci. Ober married Fleixos, a noble demigod hero.

Knowing that Jason and others had rescued four grandsons on Aretia Island, and that Jason was also the cousin of the four Argos brothers, King Aethes invited Jason to follow Orgas and Theus. Ramon entered the banquet hall of the palace and asked the servants to offer ample wine and food to the noble guests.

Towards the end of the banquet, the four Argos brothers told the king of Aethes what happened to them, and told the king of Argos the intentions of the heroes.

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

Argos whispered in front of Aetes.

"King Pelias took away the throne that originally belonged to our cousin Jason. Now Jason must obtain the Golden Fleece before King Pelias is willing to return the throne to Jason."

Hearing the words of his grandson, Eetes couldn't help but laugh.

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

King Pelias asked Jason to seize the Golden Fleece. His idea was very obvious. He wanted Jason to die in an adventure and could no longer threaten his throne.

So Aethes looked at Jason coldly, and couldn't help but mock.

"Young hero! Are you so naive and stupid? Let me tell you the truth, even if I let you bring back the Golden Fleece, King Pelias will not be able to give you the throne. If you are genuine Your hero should defeat King Pelias upright, just like King Pelias took the throne from your father Esson, and regain the throne that originally belonged to you. I once got an oracle, the oracle told me My life is with the Golden Fleece. If I lose the Golden Fleece, I will lose my life. Therefore, I will never give the Golden Fleece to you."

It may not be stupid to have Jason, perhaps he has the ambition to be a hero, but in terms of politics, he still appears very naive, and only then will he believe that if the Golden Fleece is retrieved, King Pelias will return the throne to him.

But after hearing Eetes' rejection, he stood up and retorted neither humble nor arrogant.

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

"Jason! Just for what you believe in your heart, that insignificant possibility, do you want me to lose the Golden Fleece and lose my life?"

King Aethes asked angrily.

"Do you know that I am the son of Helios, the former sun god? In order to regain the throne of Thesari Kingdom, you have to take the Golden Fleece and take my life. This is declaring war on me. Jason, I will not kill you now. Tomorrow you will summon all Argonauts and fight with me! As long as you can defeat me and kill me, you can step on my body and take away the golden fleece."

Item 0748

When Eetstein said that the existence of the Golden Fleece was linked to his life through the oracle, negotiations began to become difficult.

For Jason, obtaining the Golden Fleece meant killing Aethes.

Murdering the life of a completely unrelated person in order to regain his throne is not a commendable thing even for a person like Jason with all kinds of wildness in his heart.
