Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

Jason finally defeated all the dragon tooth soldiers and won the final victory.

Just like those great deeds that were praised, today, the impossible trial was passed by him "single-handedly".

Jason, standing among countless broken bones, gasped and raised his fists toward the sky to declare his victory.

It was too late, and there were not many spectators around. Only the members of the "Argonauts Tour" turned back to watch his performance, so the cheers were not too loud, but Jason still felt sincerely proud. .

The equipment on his body and the spear in his hand were completely shattered, and his strong body was covered with bruises.

Even if Aeetes had secretly exchanged the dragon's teeth, it was still enough power to crush most armies of this era.

Therefore, Jason fought very hard. He had countless life-and-death crisis moments, and he survived countless times by relying on his quick wit. The onlookers of the Argonauts cheered several times to celebrate his victory.

Even Aeetes, looking at Jason enjoying his victory with his hands raised in the distance, heartily clapped his hands and applauded in praise.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Jason passed the test, and he finally had a reason not to stop the escort from taking the Golden Fleece.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable losing his unique treasure, at least his family would be safe. It goes without saying which one is more important, treasure or family.

While clapping his hands, Aeetes thought about the current situation.

Jason has passed the test set by "him", and the level of being a "mortal" has passed, so what is left is the dragon representing "Ares".

As long as Jason defeated the dragon, it also meant that Jason passed Ares's test. Even if he took away the Golden Fleece, Ares, the God of War, would not be displeased at all.

After all, for the God of War, a fierce battle can make him feel more happy than a less important bet, even if it is his side that loses.

"I see... Is this what Zheng Shu thinks about?"

Aeetes suddenly understood Zheng Shu's thinking. To the gods, the so-called bet had no meaning at all. The reason why they set up the bet was essentially to make themselves feel happy.

Representing their own side are the gods headed by Ares, the God of War, which means that as long as they please Ares, the God of War, it doesn't matter whether they win or lose.

Among the gods who supported Jason on the other side was Athena, the goddess of victory.

If you want to please this goddess who represents wisdom and victory, you naturally have to show your own wisdom in addition to letting Jason win.

Therefore, the optimal solution to this situation is actually to let the Goddess of Victory win the bet and let the God of War see a battle that satisfies him.

As for wisdom…

Aeetes laughed silently. Mortals rely on their own intelligence to deceive the gods. Isn't this the greatest manifestation of wisdom?

"Fortunately, there is no need to worry about Medea's safety now. Those gods who bet on Jason not getting back the Golden Fleece will definitely keep a close eye on Medea, who knows how to get through the dragon. The rest of the matter has been dealt with. I have nothing to do with it, I just need to wait for things to develop."

The safety of his family was ensured, which relaxed Aeetes' tense spirit. However, after recalling the power of the magic dragon, he couldn't help but become worried again.

"Can these people...really be able to deal with the dragon?"

Aeetes turned his attention directly to Zheng Shu. He knew very well that among all the people who came to Colchis by boat, only this person had the ability to fight the dragon.

But it was only capable. The dragon was so powerful that even he found it difficult to tame it. Even Hercules would not be able to defeat the dragon that easily.

After all, this demon dragon is probably the only demon beast belonging to Ares, the God of War, and its status is even higher than that of the three-headed hell dog in hell.

And as a dependent of the God of War, he may have shortcomings in other aspects, but he is absolutely qualified in terms of combat effectiveness.

If you want to defeat the dragon with your own strength without knowing the opponent's shortcomings, Aeetes thinks it is an impossible miracle just thinking about it.

"But... aren't the so-called heroes the creators of miracles? Then let me see if you are a qualified hero."

Aeetes' frown relaxed, and she waved, calling the servant beside her over.

"Since Jason passed my first two trials, go and tell him that the third trial is for him to find a way to take away the Golden Fleece. As for the time... let's set it in three days. This No one will hinder him during this period, but no one will provide him with help. When the time comes, you can take them to the place where the Golden Fleece is enshrined."

After watching the servant leave respectfully, the old king looked down at Jason, who was celebrating his victory with the other heroes of the Argonauts, and suddenly felt that this guy didn't look so annoying after putting aside the issue of the Golden Fleece.

"Is it because we are all props used by the gods to please themselves...and if you really count, this guy is much worse than me."

Thinking like this, Aeetes slowly left here with the others.

…

…

On the high tower next to the Temple of Hecate, Medea, who had just finished her work for the day, was looking at the scene in the distance through magic.

Jason's posture of fighting hard was indeed good. If it were in the past, she might really be attracted to that person, but now that Medea knew the truth, she would only feel it was annoying to look at those cheering heroes.

As a person who is familiar with the truth of the whole matter, Medea only thinks that this trial is boring. Everything is as expected by Zheng Shu, and all the uninformed people are fooled by that guy.

Even Jason, who personally participated in the trial, did not doubt the authenticity of the trial. Everything including the danger was calculated by that person.

No, not just humans, even the gods in the sky watching this bet were also plotted.

Medea once asked Zheng Shu, asking him whether this method can really hide from the gods?

The other party smiled before replying: "Sometimes, being seen through is also part of the strategy."

Medea was certainly smart enough to see through the nature of the plot even before her father.

The opponent just used a very simple strategy and perfectly calculated all the gods based on their character.

From very early on, the focus of the gods had shifted from Jason to Zheng Shu. From that moment on, he had already taken the initiative in this bet.

Moreover, after the god's attention was diverted, Medea was actually safe. The reason why she was still in the tower was just because that person was just in case.

Medea didn't know whether this was part of the other party's plan. She only knew that the arrival of this man had indeed saved her country.

"Then the only thing left is the demon dragon. Facing the retinue of the God of War, can you really continue to create miracles?"

Resting her hands on the table to support her chin, Medea turned her magic gaze to Zheng Shu's face, looking at the projected picture with an expectant expression.

"I am looking forward."

After unconsciously staring at Zheng Shu's face for a long time, Medea suddenly turned red and waved her hand to cancel the magic: "I never noticed, does this guy's face look so good-looking?"

…

…

"What?! The king asked us to get the Golden Fleece ourselves?"

Jason looked at the servant in front of him in disbelief. Just a moment ago, he was celebrating wildly surrounded by a group of heroes, but now he felt that the sky was about to fall.

Although he completed the first two trials, Jason knew very well what level he was at, and he relied entirely on Zheng Shu's cheating methods to pass.

Isn't it no different from letting him face Ares' dragon by himself than letting him die directly?

And because of the effect of the medicine, he would have to lie in bed for several days. Even if Aeetes gave him three days as a buffer, the dragon was not something he could deal with as a person who had just climbed out of the hospital bed. !

No, even if he faced the dragon in his heyday, he couldn't beat it!

"Zheng Shu, think of a solution quickly. If I are really allowed to get the Golden Fleece by myself, I will definitely be killed!"

When encountering this kind of unsolvable problem, Jason immediately hugged his thigh.

"Don't worry."

Zheng Shu raised his leg and shook it with a look of disgust, but did not shake Jason off his lap. He could only helplessly pat this guy who was as clingy as brown candy with his hand.

"The gods have already foreseen this situation. After all, if you want to seize the Golden Fleece, you cannot get around Ares, the God of War. But the gods also know very well that they will not expect you to kill a dragon. .”

"real?!"

Looking at Jason, whose eyes were shining brightly, Zheng Shu doubted himself a little.

"The way you look makes me doubt that what I just said was a compliment to you... Let go, let go! Don't worry, Hercules asked me to take care of you before he left, so don't worry, you can just stay in bed these few days. Recuperate, I will take care of everything in advance."

Zheng Shu finally pulled Jason off his lap and sighed helplessly when he saw that this guy still looked reluctant.

"The content of the third trial only requires you to take the Golden Fleece yourself, but it does not say that you must kill the magic dragon. In other words, as long as I kill the magic dragon in advance, it will be fine."

"Wait, you mean you want to go do that dragon alone? No! Absolutely not! Zheng Shu, that is Lord Ares, the God of War's only magical beast dependent. Not even the three-headed dog of hell can do that. Dragons are scary. If we can’t help it, we won’t take the Golden Fleece. I’d better go and beg the goddess for forgiveness.”

Jason was already a little incoherent, and even now he wanted to kneel on the ground and pray to Athena.

He originally wanted Zheng Shu to think of a way to avoid the magic dragon, just like using herbs to help him cheat before, but who knew that the solution proposed by the other party was to challenge the magic dragon alone.

That was something even more difficult than what Heracles had accomplished. To obtain the Golden Fleece, he actually had to force his junior brother to do it. Jason's conscience prevented him from choosing to do so.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be quite loyal. My opinion of you has changed a lot."

Zheng Shu suddenly laughed, and Jason's reaction was a bit unexpected.

But it’s right to think about it carefully. Judging from this guy’s performance in the history of Xingyue, for women, Jason can be regarded as a scumbag, but for men, he may be the kind of person who can chat with you. What a bastard netizen.

But at critical moments, this guy can be your most trustworthy backing and will never deliberately push you into a pit of fire.

No wonder even a serious person like Hercules had a pretty good opinion of this guy.

"Jason, you have to understand that the Argonauts' expedition is not just an adventure to obtain the Golden Fleece, but also a gamble involving the gods. You have relied on your own wisdom and the help of others to cross your path. All obstacles you can overcome, so this dragon is not a test for you."

Zheng Shu patted Jason on the shoulder, and then asked others to carry Jason, who was already getting weaker, towards the Argonauts.

"What we are facing now is Ares, the God of War. If we want to pass his test, we cannot use any trickery to defeat this dragon. Someone must defeat him head-on and dedicate the victory over the dragon to the gods in an upright and honest manner. Satisfy the God of War.”

Zheng Shu was very satisfied with what Jason just said, so he decided to reveal more information to Jason.

"So, don't worry Jason, if you are willing to treat me as a friend, then believe in me and believe that I can successfully complete this trial."

…

…

After Zheng Shu's persuasion, Jason finally stopped struggling and was carried away obediently.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

Atalanta appeared from the shadows of the nearby woods. She didn't like too busy places, so she had been hiding in the canopy of the trees nearby since just now.

"It's very simple, find the dragon and kill it." Zheng Shu extended his thumb towards Atalanta.

"..."

Atalanta stared at Zheng Shu for a while, seeming to confirm whether the guy in front of her was joking.

"Are you sure? Those are the retinue of the God of War."

"I know, but unfortunately, it seems that the only way to kill it now is to kill it."

"You might die there."

"Wrong! I will definitely win."

Atalanta suddenly laughed when she saw Zheng Shu's confident expression.

"Originally, I was worried about your mood, but now it seems that there is no need to worry. You yourself seem to be looking forward to this battle."

"Geez, was I being that obvious?"

"Since just now, the smile on your face has never gone away."

Zheng Shu touched his face when he heard this, but didn't find any smile on his face. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked.

Atalanta seemed very happy after teasing Zheng Shu. She waved to Zheng Shu and turned around to leave.

"Don't die. I'll treat you to some fruit after you win."

"By the way...if I remember correctly, those fruits grew with my power."

Zheng Shu looked at Atalanta's leaving figure and smiled, then turned to look at the tower in the distance.

"Next, it's time to see how the Golden Fleece is preparing."

(I’m not saying that the Demonic Dragon is stronger than the Three-Headed Dog of Hell. In ancient Greek mythology, the Three-Headed Dog of Hell can be easily dealt with by only one god, while the Demonic Dragon requires two gods. It can only be solved by working together, and the solution is quite reluctant.)
