Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

Within the Kingdom of Colchis, King Aeetes has become quite irritable recently, and loses his temper even when he hears the words "hero" or "ship".

However, the servants in the palace knew the reason very well, because a few days ago, there were rumors about "an adventurous group of the strongest Greek heroes led by Jason coming to Colchis to take away the Kingdom's Golden Fleece". It spread throughout the country.

And Aeetes was upset because he knew the rumor was true.

When he thought of those bandits...the heroes were thinking about the treasures they had dedicated to the gods, Aeetes wanted to send troops immediately to kill those guys on the way.

It's a pity that I can't fight.

Because he had received the oracle, the Argonaut's adventure was a bet by the gods, and it also involved several major gods.

In this way, even if he knew that these bandits wanted to seize their country's treasures, Aeetes, as the king, could not refuse and even received them politely.

King Aeetes was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at the thought that his country's treasures were about to be robbed by these guys.

And for some reason these days, the sacred cows in the cattle pen have become particularly irritable, forcing him to run to the cattle pen early in the morning to appease the sacred cows.

In addition, because of these rumors, there were a lot of troubles in the country waiting for him to solve, so that Aeetes became increasingly unhappy.

Under excessive exertion, Aeetes's hair turned quite white in just a few days.

"Father."

The girl's clear voice reached Aeetes's ears, and the king who was still sighing suddenly changed his expression, and the kindness and doting on his face almost overflowed.

After waving his hand and telling all the other servants in the palace to leave, Aeetes stood up from his throne with an extremely soft voice.

"My princess, why did you come to see your father this time?"

Princess Medea is the youngest child of King Aeetes and also his favorite child. As long as he sees Medea's smiling face, Aeetes feels that he has been healed and will relax even in his worst mood. Come down.

However, as she grew older, Medea became more and more beautiful, so much so that there were some young men guarding the area around the palace every day just to have a chance to take a look at Medea's beauty. This made her Father Aeetes was very worried.

If it weren't for his reason as a king, this daughter-slave would have wanted to order the castration of all the males of the right age in the country.

Medea trotted all the way into her father's arms, feeling the generous palms stroking her hair, and narrowed her eyes comfortably.

She rubbed her little face into her father's arms a few times, and it seemed that she enjoyed the little intimacy between father and daughter.

"Because my father seems very unhappy recently, so I want to help."

"My daughter has grown up and already knows how to care about her father."

Aeetes was so happy that she burst into tears, and almost died due to excessive heartbeat.

Fortunately, as the king of Colchis, he also had a strong divine bloodline, so he did not die on the spot for such a funny reason.

"Father, you treat me like a child again."

Medea suppressed her dissatisfaction. In fact, she also knew very well what her father was worried about during this time. After all, the rumor had spread throughout the Korski Kingdom. As a princess, Medea would not listen to it. Less than.

But she also knew very well that she really couldn't help much in this matter, and this time she came to her father just to comfort her.

If possible, Medea would also like to help her father solve his problems, but she is just a weak girl. At most, she only knows a little about magic, and can brew some special potions and make some strange props. .

Even because of her age, Medea has not learned offensive magic yet. It is more than enough for her to save a person, but if she is asked to fight those heroes who are famous throughout Greece, she will definitely not be able to defeat them.

As soon as he was inspired by his precious daughter, Aeetes suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength. He clenched his fists and a strong fighting spirit burst out from his body.

"Don't worry, father, I will definitely protect our country's treasures and won't let those guys succeed!"

"From my personal opinion, I advise you to hand over the Golden Fleece."

A sudden unfamiliar voice interrupted Aeetes' speech. At this moment, the somewhat bloated king showed reaction speed and strength that was not his.

"who?!"

When the question was shouted out, the attack was also released. It was not a special weapon, but the thick throne that he had just sat on.

The throne carved from a single piece of rock may have weighed several tons, but it was thrown away by the old king so easily.

While throwing the throne out with one hand, he also hugged his daughter tightly with the other hand, making a protective posture, and retreated to the decorative spear next to it.

Once the opponent dodges his attack, the king will not hesitate to throw a spear as a supplement.

Bang!

The strange figure stood there without evading, and was hit by the huge rock throne. The various gold ornaments decorated on the throne were scattered on the ground, and even the thick throne itself was broken into pieces.

But instead of relaxing, Aeetes's expression became more solemn. The spear he was about to throw was tightly held in his hand, and he did not continue to attack.

He kept chanting spells in his mouth, and a large magic circle appeared in front of him.

As a country that believes in the goddess of magic, and is also a powerful person with the highest concentration of divine blood in the entire country, although Aeetes behaves very kindly as a king, it does not mean that he is weak.

Even in the Argonauts, there are not many heroes who can surpass him in strength.

And Medea very wisely ran down from under her father, hid behind him, and took out a few strange potion bottles from her clothes, and the magic power on them fluctuated. Look, it's definitely not a good thing.

"It's a thrilling welcome, but it's a bit too warm."

A hand reached out from the smoke and fanned it casually, blowing away the dust surrounding him. Zheng Shu looked at the two people in front of him with a helpless smile.

"Okay, I admit that it was wrong of me to come out of nowhere and scare you."

"Hmph! Are all the people on the Argonaut so unruly? Or is it that your greed for the Golden Fleece has obscured your sanity?"

Aeetes looked at Zheng Shu warily. He made a loud noise just now but no guards came around, indicating that the other party had set up a barrier before.

Coupled with the fact that he had withstood his attack without dodging just now, the opponent's strength was a bit ridiculous, but the good thing was that Aeetes did not feel any malice from Zheng Shu, which meant that there was still room for maneuver. room.

"Please calm down a little. Although I am indeed a crew member of the Argonaut, I am here to help you. I have already taken care of the surrounding guards, so we have a lot of time to talk carefully."

Zheng Shu raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, but the words coming out of his mouth seemed quite bad.

"By the way, can you also ask your daughter to put down the magic potion on her hand? That thing makes me scared... As a princess, why do you carry around a magic potion that can make people become dizzy from the nostrils? Medicine?!”

"I want you to take care of it!"

Medea looked at Zheng Shu fiercely, as if she was about to throw the potion in her hand at him immediately.

After hearing Zheng Shu's words, Aeetes broke out in cold sweat. Looking at the bottle of potion held by her daughter behind her, she moved her steps vaguely and reached out to stop Medea. Plan to throw the potion.

"You have obviously admitted that you are a crew member of the Argo, but you have not admitted your purpose. Then let me hear what you want to say."

After confronting Zheng Shu righteously, Aeetes took the bottle of potion from Medea's hand, carefully put it into his bag, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I said I don't have any bad intentions, so can you please listen to my thoughts? The reason why I am here is indeed to help you."

"So the way you're going to help me is by asking us to hand over the Golden Fleece?!"

Aeetes sneered, but did not make such a defensive gesture again.

Zheng Shu has already demonstrated his powerful power, so in this case, Aeetes doesn't mind hearing what this guy wants to say. After all, the words of the strong are always full of weight.

"Before that, I would like to ask, why do you have to stop those on the Argonaut from taking the Golden Fleece?"

"No need to ask, of course because this golden fleece is a precious treasure of our country!"

"Yeah?"

Zheng Shu showed a smile and didn't do anything more. He just let the protective stance of his God's Arms slightly expand the scope to cover the king in front of him.

"Well!"

The moment he was covered by the protective force field of the God's Arms, Aeetes groaned, and a little blood flowed from his eyes, nose, and ears. It looked like he had suffered a major impact.

"Father!"

Medea exclaimed, not caring that Zheng Shu was still nearby, and immediately put her hand on Aeetes' face to perform healing magic.

"You really have evil intentions!"

While performing healing magic, Melia pulled out another magic potion from her body.

According to Zheng Shu's magic knowledge and the flickering magic power fluctuations on the bottle of potion, it was probably a potion that could turn people into animals.

Zheng Shu consciously twitched the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that the current Medea had not learned any offensive magic, but why did he think that this Medea was more dangerous than the later witch?

"Don't worry……"

Just when the atmosphere between the two was tense, a hand stretched out to stop Medea's movement again. It was Aeetes who looked seriously injured just now.

"Father, are you okay? Did this guy sneak up on you?"

"It's okay, and you misunderstood him. This little brother does not have any ill intentions."

Aeetes wiped the blood on his face, shook his head at Medea, then took the initiative to put down the spear in his hand and walked to Zheng Shu, his expression looking extremely sincere.

"Thank you, little brother."

"You're welcome, it looks like you've woken up now."

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that I was blinded by desire without realizing it."

Aeetes' tone was somewhat emotional, but her words were a little vague.

Zheng Shu knew exactly what he was going to say. The reason why Aeetes behaved like that just now was precisely because Zheng Shu helped him resolve the power that obscured his consciousness.

It wasn't until the greed that blinded him was completely eradicated that Aeetes realized that he didn't know why he had gotten so carried away just now.

It is obviously just a golden fleece with no practical use. Although it has a great reputation, if it really offends a lot of gods and heroes, it will definitely be more than worth the loss.

And the only possibility that could unknowingly exert such power on such a powerful king is naturally those gods, or even the main gods who made the bet.

Aeetes knew this very well, but he did not dare to say it. He did not know whether his current words and deeds would be monitored by the gods.

Recalling the stories he had heard about the naughty gods, Aeetes broke out in a cold sweat.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zheng Shu. I am here to make a deal with you."

"trade?"

"Yes, to be precise, the specific transaction object is your daughter..."

boom!

Before Zheng Shu finished speaking, the surging magic cannon hit him directly in the face. If Zheng Shu hadn't unfolded the cloak behind the God's Arms in time and absorbed all the remaining power of the magic cannon, the palace where they were would have been It might have been destroyed.

"Beast! I will not send my daughter away!"

Aeetes's eyes were red and his expression was excited. He looked even more terrifying than before when he was blinded by the gods.

A large number of magic circles were spread out in front of him, and it seemed that he was preparing to continue fighting.

"I think you have some misunderstanding. What I mean is that I want to use your daughter's powerful magic knowledge."

"Sorry, dear guest, I accidentally got a little excited just now."

The powerful magic circle quickly dissipated, and Aeetes laughed and walked up to Zheng Shu and patted him on the shoulder, as if nothing happened just now.

"You are indeed very discerning. My daughter is the most gifted person in the country for magic. Even the goddess of magic is full of praise and even asked Medea to serve as her sacrifice."

When he talked about his daughter, Aeetes' face was full of pride.

"Okay... in short, I can help you solve this trouble, but I hope Princess Medea can help me research some magic issues."

"Actually, although Medea's qualifications are very high, she is still too young after all. Magic requires a long period of knowledge accumulation. If you need it, I can help you recommend a stronger magician in our country. If it doesn't work, I I can also introduce you to Master Circe.”

Circe is the sister of Aeetes, and she is also the human being with the highest level of magic in the entire Colchis country at this stage. Her skills have even reached the level of magic.

Her level is so high that many creatures who are naturally better at magic than humans can't compare to her.

Even Medea learns magic under her hands every day. After all, the goddess of magic Hecate usually doesn't have that much time to teach her students carefully. She only communicates with Medea during the annual sacrifice, so Ka Erke can actually be regarded as Medea's real teacher.

Aeetes suddenly became wary again, because he suddenly thought that the guy in front of him was not trying to use this method to secretly get close to his daughter.

"I'm afraid this won't work. Of course, it would be best if you could find someone to help you study together. However, the final trader must be Medea, because there are some things that only she can do."

Zheng Shu did not hide anything and explained the concepts and related matters about the Holy Grail War and the Hall of Valor in detail.

"I see, is there such a strange ritual in the future world? If it can really do what you said, this can indeed be regarded as a magic-level ritual."

After asking for some relevant details, Aeetes confirmed that Zheng Shu was indeed not lying. It was impossible for a person to make up magic of this level in a short time.

In this case, things get interesting.

"In other words, you can determine whether you want to make this deal with me based on the outcome of this incident."

"But……"

Aeetes was still a little hesitant. Although Zheng Shu did not explain what he wanted Medea to study, he knew very well that since it took such a long time to conduct transactions, this thing could not be studied in a short time. It may even take your daughter a lifetime to research it.

Sacrifice the life of his beloved daughter for the sake of his country. Such two heavy options made it difficult for him to choose.

"I agree!"

Medea, who had been hiding behind Aeetes, suddenly became firm in her eyes. She stepped over her father's protection for the first time and stood in front of Zheng Shu.

"Medea?"

"Father, please don't worry. I know what this means, but I have grown up and can shoulder my own responsibilities."

Medea looked back at her father and smiled tenderly, then strengthened her belief and turned to look directly into Zheng Shu's eyes.

"If you can really solve this incident, I swear in the name of Ms. Hecate that I will definitely complete the deal between us and teach you the complete research results thousands of years later."

"Ugh wow wow wow."

Hearing what his daughter said, Aeetes could no longer hold back the sadness in her heart. She completely abandoned her dignity as a king, hugged her daughter and cried loudly.

Medea also had tears in her eyes, patting her father's back gently and comforting him in a low voice.

"Wait!"

Zheng Shu immediately shouted to stop, and cold sweat broke out on his brow and feet unconsciously. He realized that if he continued like this, he would become a villain who took advantage of others.

"Both of you, is there a possibility that even if we set up a deal, your daughter can continue to live in your country? After all... I just want to borrow Medea's smart brain to study knowledge, and she doesn't You don’t have to leave with me.”

Looking at the two people who turned to look at him, Zheng Shu explained earnestly.

"What?!"

To Zheng Shu's surprise, Aeetes let out an angry roar, as if Zheng Shu's words just touched his pain point.

"What do you mean? Do you look down on my daughter? Open your eyes and look carefully. Medea is the most beautiful jewel in our Kingdom of Korski. There are many people who want to marry her. Do you think Do you think you can get in line, you bastard?!"

"So I told you, I just want her to help me research knowledge, not to propose marriage. What on earth is going on with you acting like an idiot father whose daughter is disliked by others!!! "
