[Greek Mythology] The weakest goddess will never be a slave!

Medea, the queen of Corcas, hosted a grand banquet in the hall of the palace to entertain these heroes from afar, and the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere was always the easiest to let down her guard, and Medea talked to these heroes with a smile, during which she quietly examined them.

As the heroes happily ate their food and drank the wine that the beautiful palace ladies poured into their glasses, Medea quietly asked them many questions, whose children they were, where they came from, and what their experiences along the way were. After the intelligence agents who wanted to know had almost listened, the banquet had almost come to an end.

Medea put down the wine glass in her hand, looked at Iazon, the helmsman of the Argo, and said: "Heroes of Greece, I already know the purpose of your visit, but the golden fleece is a treasure of glory bestowed upon us by our great ancestor Helios, and I can consider giving it to you, but only if you prove to me that your bravery and wisdom are worthy of this treasure." Her

voice was not loud, but it contained some kind of magic, which seemed so clear and audible in the extremely spacious hall.

Iasong listened to Medea's voice, her pronunciation with a little Kolcas's local characteristics, the tail tone was slightly raised, and there was an ancient and mysterious charm, like a feather, gently swept from his heart field, making his heart lake ripple slightly, and the whole body irrepressibly gave birth to a tingling feeling, the prince of Iolcos couldn't help but red his ears.

"Iasong... Iasong?" Medea

looked at the stunned Iazon, with some doubts and some dissatisfaction in her heart, she was the queen of Corcas, the subjects respected her and loved her, and no one dared to be in a daze when she spoke like Iasong, ignoring her existence, Medea's expression could not help but fade.

"Ia Song, call you!" Orpus beside Iasong hurriedly touched him with his elbow.

"Huh?" came Iasong to his senses suddenly, and he hurriedly stood up and performed an extremely gentlemanly courtesy to Medea, "Your Honorable Queen, please forgive my faux pas, please rest assured, no matter what kind of test, I and the heroes on the Argo will definitely complete it!"

Medea nodded and stood up, "It's late now, we have prepared a room for the heroes to rest, please rest well."

With that, Medea turned and left the hall, and Iasong looked at her graceful figure, unable to speak for a long time.

Night fell, when the bright moon was high, the heroes on the Argo, led by the guards, to the residence arranged for them by Medea, with the blessing of Hades, this country is really not short of money, the heroes saw the spacious and comfortable, but also brought their own baths, garden residence, for a moment mistakenly thought that they had come to heaven, and some heroes were very moved to say that they did not want to return to Greece, simply stay in this country to live.

"Yi Song, your state today is a little strange, no matter what happened in the past, you were always the most calm and composed, how come today at that banquet, the whole person is like losing his soul. Holding

the lyre in his arms, Orps walked to Iasong who was sitting on the windowsill and staring at the bright moon outside the window, his expression was a little subtle, as the son of the muse goddess Calioper, Orps always had a subtle sense of people's emotions, seeing Iasong at this time, a creative impulse suddenly emerged in his heart, making him want to compose a love prelude for him, and now Orps didn't understand anything.

"Oh, Iazon of Iolkos, the flame of love is lit in your heart, love is wonderful, but I want to remind you, do not get lost in this gentle trap, do not forget the purpose of your trip. "

Orps, my friend, I have never forgotten my mission. Yi Song stared at the bright moon outside the window, and the white and soft moon seemed to have turned into the flawless face of the queen, "But love is always unpreventable, I believe no one knows the sweetness of it better than you."

Orpheus had nothing to say for a while, and Iasong's words reminded him of his wife Eurydice in his distant hometown, he loved his wife deeply, and when he thought of it, his heart seemed to be filled with sweetness, and his eyes unconsciously became gentle.

Orpus sighed: "You have a point, my friend, but I still need to warn you that under the beautiful appearance, there is often a mortal danger, we have already inquired about the name of Queen Medea, she is not only a queen, but also a powerful witch who holds countless magical spells, you know, witches have never been a good group."

Orps, I know this matter myself, so don't worry about it." Iasong stopped Orps with a cold face, his sweetheart was said to believe that no one could be happy, not to mention that in his opinion, Medea was so elegant and beautiful, how could she be such a cruel and cold-blooded person.

“...... Alas, obsessive Iasong, sooner or later you will understand my painstaking intentions. Seeing Yi Song like this, Orpus had no choice but to persuade anymore.

As the night grew deeper, the tired Argonaut heroes gradually fell asleep and left a night without a word.

The next day, after Dawn chased the starry away, after a night's rest, the able-bodied Argonaut heroes regained their spirits. Perhaps because yesterday I saw that even the guards of the royal city were more powerful and domineering than them, these eclectic heroes on weekdays actually bathed and groomed themselves, combed their hair neatly, shaved off their beards, and wiped their swords and armor shiny.

The demigod heroes with the bloodline of the gods, the foundation of the facial features and body will not be bad, after dressing up like this, they all become handsome and extraordinary, and as soon as they walk out, it is really eye-catching.

The heroes, led by Medea's guards, went to the holy place of Ares, the gladiatorial arena of Corcas. In the huge gladiatorial arena, the people of Corcas heard that the queen will test the heroes from distant Greece today, and they all came to watch, and the people stood on a high place and watched, such a large piece of land, the black pressure is all people.

The arrival of the heroes made the people excited, they looked at these visitors from a foreign land, admired their handsome faces and heroic figures, whispered to their relatives and friends, and found business opportunities hawkers holding baskets of jerky and fresh fruits for sale, which was even more lively.

The heroes of the Argo couldn't help but look a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, they are famous heroes in Greece, the most sought after and revered existence, today here, although the people here seem to be very enthusiastic, but can not make them feel the kind of worship and respect in the past, but more like they are preparing to watch some performance, this feeling makes them a little uncomfortable.

In the center of the gladiatorial arena was a flat stand dedicated to the royal family, and the old king Aethes heard that his daughter was going to test the heroes on the Argo today, and he also became a little interested, and brought his young son Absyltos to watch.

The old king wore a sumptuous purple robe and a golden crown on his head, looking majestic and domineering. And Prince Absyltos is also fourteen years old this year, wearing a golden cotton tunic, and his face that is somewhat similar to Medea shows a little curiosity, looking at the heroes below who look powerful.

"My daughter, these heroes look mighty, how about it? The old king looked at his daughter expectantly.

This daughter of herself, everything is good, her appearance, wisdom, and means are impeccable, but it is in the marriage part, I don't know if he offended Aphrodite, the goddess of love, or Hera, the goddess of marriage, Medea just doesn't open her mind, she is not interested in the affairs of men and women at all, she is not dealing with government affairs all day, or studying those magic spells, and the young son is not yet an adult, and the old king's wish to hold his grandson has not been satisfied.

In fact, what the old king did not know was that Medea was not unfavored by the two goddesses, but that Hecate, the goddess of the moon, had chosen Medea as her inheritor, and she hoped that her apprentices could focus on the pursuit of the mysteries of magic without distraction, and specially greeted Aphrodite and Hera, let them bypass Medea when they were blessed, and when she stepped on the road to immortality, then whatever she wanted.

"Father, you are kidding me again, I have decided to dedicate my life to magic and witchcraft, men only affect the speed at which I cast spells. "

“...... Alas. This was not the first time that the old king had heard his daughter say this, he sighed helplessly, shook his head, what else could he do, although he could also do some magic, but in front of Medea, he was simply a witch, and he could force her to marry.

Seeing that the heroes had arrived, Medea no longer chatted with her father, she stood up and walked to the platform, she wore a crimson gold-encrusted dress today, the sun shone on the queen's body, and her skin was like jade, and the whole person exuded a noble and warm beauty.

"Heroes of the Argo, welcome to the gladiatorial arena of Corcas, and by divine revelation, I will set three tests for you, and if you pass well, you will be able to obtain the golden fleece, which represents glory, and return to your kingdom, where you will be revered by all nations.

Medea's voice echoed in the huge gladiatorial arena, and the witch cast magic on her throat, amplifying her voice dozens of times so that everyone in the gladiatorial arena could hear her words clearly. The people in the stands burst into warm applause, looking forward to the performance of these heroes of foreign lands.

"The first test, you will need to defeat the warriors I sent to prove your bravery.

Medea said, and a servant dressed in witch's costume behind her handed her a box, and Medea opened the box, which was neatly arranged with a row of snake teeth. She grabbed a handful casually and threw it at the heroes in the gladiatorial arena, the snake tooth fell to the ground, and immediately burrowed into the soil, and a moment later, the earth trembled, and one by one babies came out of the soil, and in the blink of an eye they grew into heroic warriors with strong and sharp clothes.

"What profound magic!" The two goddesses in the sky who were watching all this could not help but light up their eyes, the inheritor of Hecate had mastered the meaning of magic, and this method was no weaker than ordinary gods.

The warriors born from the serpent's teeth did not need Medea's orders, and spontaneously rushed towards the heroes of the Argo, and they attacked fiercely, moving lightly and powerfully, like wild wolves.

Argonaut's heroes soon learned that this was not a simple show, but a real life-and-death fight, and if they did not show their strength to deal with it, they would suffer losses, and they might even be seriously injured or even killed. The heroes couldn't help but secretly curse Medea's cruelty in their hearts, and put this kind of dead hand.

But although they were angry in their hearts, they had no other way but to show their housekeeping skills to fully cope with the crisis in front of them, in the end, it was the heroes with the blood of the gods, under their full strength, except for some people who were injured, those warriors born from the snake's teeth were completely killed and fell to the ground, and the first test ended in the victory of the Greek heroes.

The people cheered and applauded the bravery of these heroes, but Iasong did not have joy on his face, he looked up at Medea in the stands, his face showed anger and disappointment, and he shouted to Medea: "Medea, queen of Corcas, why do you treat us so maliciously, do you look so beautiful and elegant?

The people in the "!!" duel arena couldn't help but fall into silence for a moment, and then a louder discussion broke out, and they looked at Yi Song, who dared to question their queen, with a little unkindness and ridicule in their eyes.

“...... Quiet!" Medea said lightly, and the people at the scene immediately remained silent, waiting for the queen to speak.

Medea looked at Yi Song in the audience, her eyes were faint and did not ripple because of the other party's questioning.

"Iazon of Iolkos, since you have come to claim the sacred Golden Fleece in order to regain the throne, you should know that if you want to obtain it, you must go through the test of blood and fire. If you just think of this as a child's affair, then I advise you to give up the next test and go back to your homeland as soon as possible.

Medea didn't look at Iasong's reaction after speaking, she raised her hand, and the warriors killed by the heroes in the gladiatorial arena suddenly emitted a ghostly light, turned into snake teeth one by one, and flew back into the box in Medea's hand.

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that those samurai were not real people, but snake teeth, but because they were too realistic, they ignored this.

Iasong suddenly blushed, he wanted to explain something to Medea, but the other party didn't pay attention to him at all. Medea turned to the witch beside her and gave a few orders, and soon several black-robed men carried bottles of potions and handed them to the heroes who had been wounded in this battle.

"These heroes who have been injured at the hands of the Serpentine Samurai, these potions can heal the wounds on your body, but you have lost the qualification to go through the next test.

"Tomorrow, you will face the second test I have set.

Medea clapped her hands, and several flaming cows were led up, with a huge copper plough rake placed beside them.

"Use your wisdom to rake the copper plough to my oxen, and plow the ground with them, even if you pass the test.

Argo's heroes looked at the fire bulls that were like several huge furnaces, spitting flames and burning the ground black, and looked at each other for a while.
