I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

"Master Goddess, please state the conditions. I will do my best to fulfill them. In exchange, can you ask Her Ladyship to revive the poor three sisters?" Although it is a question, it is just a rhetoric to maintain respect for the Goddess. .

Seleus understood that since Athena, the goddess of wisdom, had anticipated everything in advance, she must have been fully prepared. As a god, Athena must have a way to resurrect the three sisters, and she would definitely make demands on herself.

"Of course, I want you to do something for me when I need it." Athena held out a finger. "Although I don't know what I want you to do, but you are the hero I like. I should prepare in advance so that I won't be rejected by you when I need you."

"How could I refuse the request of the beautiful Goddess of Wisdom? Besides, Lord Athena only asked me to do one thing for such an important matter?" Seleus first complimented Athena, but whether it was Seleus or Athens Nadu knew exactly when Serius would refuse the request of the goddess.

Moreover, Serius raised doubts to the Goddess not because he was out of his mind and wanted to do more things for the Goddess, but because he knew very well, in any case, don't try to take advantage of the Gods, otherwise no matter what you are greedy No matter how cheap it is, the gods will make you pay dearly, especially when dealing with the goddess of wisdom.

"Don't worry, there's no calculation here. It's just because you need to find the resurrection materials by yourself." Athena saw Serius' true thoughts at a glance, and quickly waved her hand to signal Serius to feel relieved.

"The bodies of the Gorgons disappeared, but their divinity and immortality still remained in the world, and the life that still possessed immortality died, which caused them to exist in the gap between the inner world and the outer world. There is no between."

Having said that, Athena paused for a moment, as if to let Serius prepare mentally for the next words.

"Therefore, you need to find three things that exist but don't exist in the world as a medium to replace their immortality..."

......

"There are things that exist and don't exist, and three more are needed! Isn't this an impossible task?" After listening to the cause and effect of Seleus, Jason shouted.

"So, I have been unable to sleep. How can I find something that exists in the world but does not exist in the world..."

Chapter 44 The King of Desarai

The sound of oars piercing the water echoed in the air.

All kinds of merchant ships come and go in and out of the port, but the strange thing is that there are very few strongmen, sailors and the like to carry the goods on the merchant ships. Most of the merchant ships simply come down and a few people are in a hurry to replenish some supplies on the port. Busy set sail.

There are neatly arranged houses made of stone bricks everywhere in the city, and roads paved with stone slabs are interspersed between the houses.

Carriages carrying supplies passed by one after another on the road, and there were shops and hawker stalls selling fruits, vegetables, ingredients and various daily necessities everywhere on both sides of the street.But the strange thing is that although it looks like a bustling city from various details, the residents here seem to be lifeless.

Residents of the city are running back and forth in the streets and alleys, but the city does not reveal any lively atmosphere. There is not a single child playing on the street. Even if one occasionally runs out of the house, it will be quickly killed Parents and other elders drove them back.

This is the hometown of Jason, once very rich and prosperous Desalay.As for why it was once prosperous and rich?Just ask Jason's uncle Bolias.

Jason's father, Aison, was a wise king, and Desarai became a very powerful kingdom under his rule.But one day, his younger brother Bolias got the promise from Zeus to bless him to become king, so Bolias killed his brother's family and occupied the throne that originally belonged to Jason...

What ability can a guy who usurps the throne by force have to govern the prosperous Desalay?In addition, in order to buy the hearts of the soldiers, this guy who relies on force has always allowed the behavior of the soldiers, but what is the virtue of the soldiers in ancient times?To sum it up in one sentence, "thieves pass like a comb, soldiers pass like a grate". It is conceivable that the originally prosperous Desalay will fall to the present state. What have the residents here encountered?

There is no hope on the faces of the residents who are running around. The city can maintain its current situation completely relying on the legacy left by Aeson when he was king. The residents dare not imagine that their hometown will be in Bolivia in a few years. What will become of Lias hands?

The residents are living in numbness, but they never imagined that fate cast their eyes on them today...

......

"How long before we reach Dessalay?"

Seleus sat on the edge of the ship's railing, listlessly resting his chin on the railing.He was really bored during this period. Jason, who had completed the trial and obtained the Golden Fleece, couldn't wait to return to Zarai to inherit the throne.Therefore, except for necessary supplies, they hardly stopped on any island along the way.

Apart from thinking about where to find "things that exist but don't exist in the world", Seleus has no way to pass the time on the way.Even if he wanted to go rowing, he would be dragged onto the deck by Jason because of his size and strength, which made him unable to cooperate with the crew.

"By the way, when did you convince these guys to follow you back to the kingdom?" Seleus thought of those sailors who were rowing in full swing, full of yearning for a better life in the future, and looked aside with some doubts, not knowing what to think , asked Jason, who was smiling so lewdly that his saliva was dripping down.

After Jason obtained the Golden Fleece, their journey back was smooth sailing, and the crew disembarked one after another, and only 20 or so remained on board.

They are all attracted by Jason's vision and dream for the future, and recognized Jason's ability in the adventure along the way, so they want to follow him to Desalay all the time.Of course, they never denied that they wanted to get glory and wealth from Jason, the future king.

After all, they who have nothing to do with God will always grow old one day, so they must work hard to build a family business while they still have the strength.And instead of wandering around like before, it is a good choice to follow the brainy Jason, not to mention that he is the future king and has the support of Seleus who defeated the dragon.

"This, by the way, when I went to supply supplies, because you have to stay to guard the ship, so it's normal not to know." Jason wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and explained indifferently.

"Really?" To be honest, Seleus, who has been socially autistic for two lifetimes, is very envious of Jason's talent in this area.But this is a talent that cannot be learned.

"We're very close to Desalai, and if all goes well, I'll sit on the throne tonight. No! I'm going to tie the Golden Fleece to the bow now..."

"No! Don't..." Seleus looked at Jason who was going to get the golden fleece excitedly and humming, and after thinking about it, he swallowed back the words.

"Jason has obtained the Golden Fleece smoothly, and the journey has been uneventful. There should be no problem..." Seleus murmured unconfidently.

......

"I knew it would be like this..." Serius covered his head with his hands, and looked at the group of soldiers confronting them in front with some headaches.

It may be okay for ordinary people to set up FALG, because fate will not always watch ordinary people everywhere.But it will be different if the FALG is set by the heroes, especially for heroes like Jason who have received the attention of the gods, fate will always cast more eyes.

It is also because of this that Jason said on the boat in the morning that "if everything goes well", which is a typical FALG, then things will not go well...

No, as soon as Serius and his party disembarked from the Argo, they were immediately surrounded by soldiers sent by Bolias who saw the Argo with the golden fleece hanging from a long distance.

The residents of Desalay had noticed the confrontation between the two parties at the port. Of course, they still remembered Jason who was going to find the Golden Fleece. They were dissatisfied with Polydos' behavior, and of course they hoped for a capable king. Jason, who replaced him and found the Golden Fleece, has proved that he has this wisdom and ability.

But seeing that the soldiers of Polydos had surrounded Jason and the others, the residents who were worried that they would be involved in the dispute over the throne still stayed away from Jason and the others silently, hiding in their houses and praying for things to go smoothly. Good direction.

Although surrounded by soldiers more than ten times their number, the crew of the Argo did not panic at all, because they had Serius who killed the dragon head-on.

But Jason didn't think so. Knowing Seleus very well, he was a little worried about whether Seleus would intervene in the disputes between ordinary people about interests for him.Because he knows that Seleus has always become a hero with the goal of eliminating the misfortune of this world, but from Jason's perspective, helping him fight for the throne is completely inconsistent with or even violates Seleus's consistent principles.

Jason understands that without the help of Seleus, it is impossible for him to inherit the throne from his uncle who is already planning to cheat, but he doesn't want his best friend to break his life rules because of his affairs, but the throne that can make his dreams come true I really don't want to give up...

Just when Jason was caught in a dilemma, he suddenly felt a big hand on his shoulder.

'This hand is the size of Seleus! 'Jason instantly judged that the owner of the hand on his shoulder was Serius, because apart from him and Hercules, no one else could have this size.

Jason looked up, telling himself that he would accept whatever decision Seleus made, even if he just stood by and watched the fight.

But the worst plan that was expected did not happen. Jason raised his head and saw Serius' smiling face.

"Captain, do you want me to help you solve these troubles?"

Jason's eyes lit up when he heard these words in his ears.

"Selius! And the crew of the Argo! Let's teach that old bastard a lesson!"

......

Bolias has been a little restless these days, or he has been a little restless in the past few years since winning the throne, but the enjoyment of the past made him forget about it.

He has always been jealous that his brother Aisong became the king, and his better self is qualified to rule the powerful and rich Desalay, not the indecisive brother.

So after getting the promise from Zeus, he immediately killed his elder brother Eson, and in order to cut off future troubles, he also killed all the blood of his elder brother, and even offended the queen Hera for this.

Hera issued an oracle, telling Bolias to be careful of the "young man with only one sandal on one foot", but once he wants to kill the young man, he will definitely end up in the same end.

Bolias worried about this for a long time, but he waited in fear for a long time but did not wait for the "young man with only one foot in sandals", so he put this matter behind him, because there is still Bigger worries haunted him.

Bolias, who had just become king and had not had time to enjoy it, was annoyed by a series of trivial matters by Dessaray.

Why should we lower the trade tax on passing merchant ships to attract caravans?

This year's harvest is not very good, do you want to reduce the brewing of ale?

The price of olive oil has fallen, should we reduce the export of olive oil?

There are monsters in the surrounding forests, do you want to pay to hire heroes who can solve the problem...

What a joke!He is the king of Desarai!He just needs to enjoy the power from the king, why should he care about the life and death of those untouchables?It was because of these trivial matters that his older brother became indecisive, thus giving him the opportunity to usurp the throne.How could such a wise man repeat the same mistakes?

Bolias, with such an idea in mind, ignored all these things, let his subordinates solve the problem by themselves, and began to enjoy the life of a king.

Even if one day, he found the "young man wearing only one sandal" in the oracle, and was horrified to find that this young man turned out to be his nephew...

"Jason should have died in a certain sea area by now." Bolias rubbed his brows, talking as if hypnotizing himself.

"So many heroes and kings have looked for him, but they all failed. There is no reason for Jason to succeed." Bolias said to himself. "And even if he succeeds, I will never return the throne to him. I can just get the legendary Golden Fleece..."

"It's not good, Your Majesty! Jason has returned with the Golden Fleece, and his ship is about to dock!" Just as Bolias was thinking, a confidant came and told him that he had been distracted for the past few days. Cause of restlessness.

"What!?" Bolias stood up from the throne and asked in disbelief, "He really came back with the Golden Fleece?"

"Yes! The Golden Fleece is hanging on the bow of his boat. That image is even more shining than the one in the legend. It can't be fake." The confidant replied in a panic.

"Then what are you waiting for! Take the soldiers and arrest him and his crew..."

......

"I'm Jason! I'm also the captain of the Argo! I'm a rare wise man, with wisdom and courage that even the gods look up to!

I led my crew to the end of the world, and successfully retrieved the unique treasure in this world - the Golden Fleece!

My deeds and the golden fleece in my hand are enough to prove my supreme glory as a hero.

The insidious and cunning Bolias broke his promise, and his harm to Desalai is obvious to all!

so!follow me!I will overthrow the evil rule of Bolias!Lead Desalay and you to create a completely different future!

As long as everyone follows me!I can bring you a corresponding reward and a prosperous country.That is the ever-great Desalay, where no one will be disturbed, and everyone will be happy!

A country where all men are brothers and all women are sisters.Because everyone will know that you are my subordinates!my people!Also my friend..."

Seeing the blond man standing in front of the palace and giving a loud speech, Seleus was filled with emotion for a moment.

Seleus, who possesses extraordinary wisdom, quickly analyzed the current situation of the country from the clues of the port-this is a lifeless country ruled by a fatuous and incompetent king with brutality.In other words, he planned to help Jason get the throne, because he believed in Jason's wisdom and the justice and dream in his heart.

Who is Jason? He is a hero who got the Argonaut and its crew by virtue of his wit and eloquence when he had nothing.Even if the queen wants to enjoy gold, silver and jewelry, she will never extort money from her people, because with his wisdom, he doesn't care about the money that is deducted from his people. too easy.Not to mention that Jason still has the justice that is deeply rooted in his heart, even if he bears blood and deep hatred, he will not forget to help the old woman on the roadside.

Therefore, Seleus helped Jason without hesitation, just as Jason believed that he was omnipotent, he also always believed that Jason could become a good king.

Seeing the residents of Desalay who walked out of the house under Jason's call, raised their hands to support Jason, and wanted to overthrow Bolias, and the blond man who was shining with glory under the setting sun.

Seleus felt that this scene would be the most unforgettable in his life.

There will be a period after Chapter 45

"Are you leaving?"

Jason, wearing the crown, looked at his friend who was packing his luggage. Although he knew that with the character of a friend, he would definitely leave after seeing that he was settled, but at this time he still felt a little bit reluctant.

"That's right, you are now a king, you have the support of your people, and there are twenty or so guys protecting you...you can realize your dreams with peace of mind." Seleus put the money bag Carefully tied it around his waist, and smoothly carried the battle ax on his back.

"It's time for me to pursue my dream." After getting ready, Seleus patted Jason on the shoulder. "And I'm still looking for three things that 'exist and don't exist', you know that."

Let the world no longer have so much misfortune, or let him come a little faster than misfortune. This man in front of him embarked on a journey with such a dream.

When talking about dreams with Seleus for the first time, Jason had a hard time imagining that this man, who seemed to have nothing in the world to stop him, actually had such a dream as innocent as a child.

Jason, who has experienced the tragedy of family ruin and death, deeply understands that as long as there are people, there will be misfortune, the difference is only the size and scope of this misfortune.So if he had met Serius before, Jason would probably have sneered at the guy who proposed this dream.

You must know that even if you are as smart as him, you still scratch your head and don't think about how to realize this dream:

The world is so big, there is always a place that you can't scruple about.Even if the misfortune of a place is eliminated, how can you guarantee that misfortune will not strike again after you leave?

After thinking about it, Jason came to the conclusion that the only way to stop misfortune in the world is to get rid of all the things that can cause misfortune.In other words, as long as there are no more human beings in the world, then naturally there will be no misfortune about human beings, although the fact that there are no human beings is itself the greatest misfortune...

And now, he meets Seleus, a man whose dream is to rid the world of all misfortune.

The wise Jason thinks that he has already seen through all kinds of human society. People want to accomplish something because it can bring them benefits in one way or another, just like Jason himself.It is said that he wants to obtain the Golden Fleece to prove his wisdom and glory, but Jason himself is very clear about the real purpose. If Uncle Bolias really gave him the throne happily before everything happened, he will still set foot on the Golden Fleece expedition?Obviously, he won't.

So, what kind of mood did Seleus, who is almost omnipotent except God, embark on the journey to eliminate misfortune?

I make my own fire for three meals a day, sleep soundly even on the floor with my arms on my pillow, don’t drink too much, don’t gamble, and don’t treat ordinary people with that kind of arrogance, even if I have a small hobby of collecting complete gold coins , and its purpose is not to accumulate wealth, because apart from food, Jason hardly sees that Seleus will get anything from others, let alone to show that he has completed the trial assigned by the gods, but owes the gods instead There is such a thing as a condition.

What could Seleus gain from this dream?Jason often thinks this way, but he can't figure it out. The principles of the world seem to be completely changed here with Seleus.But one thing Jason knew, the tall man in front of him would be his lifelong best friend...

"Selius! Wait a minute, I'll get you something." Jason suddenly thought of something, and hurried back to his room.

Seleus shook his head helplessly. Jason, even if he became a king, still has such a frivolous temperament. He seems to be unable to find stability and seriousness.

Soon, Jason came back with a plain bag.After handing the bag to Seleus, Jason asked with a confident smile, "Do you want to go to Colchis again?"

"Huh?" Serius felt puzzled. It seemed that he had never mentioned the idea of ​​returning to Colchis with anyone. How did Jason know?

"In a sense, your behavior, Seleus, is easy to guess." Seeing the doubts on his best friend's face, the smile on Jason's face was even more smug. "Selius is a hero outside of human common sense, so as long as you use the common sense that is contrary to the human world to bring into Serius' perspective, you can easily guess your behavior pattern, Serius."

"You are the hero who eliminates misfortune, but you brought misfortune to the king of Colchis, although it was all because of the request of the gods." Jason raised his head even higher, and Seleus could even see The dirty stuff stuck in his nostrils, but Jason, who proudly imagined that after listening to his analysis, his best friend would look at him with admiration, didn't know about it.

"So, after you leave Desarai, you will definitely go to Colchis, apologize to the king there, and bring him a treasure with the same value as the Golden Fleece that does not involve anyone, right?" The analysis is over Jason proudly wanted to pat Seleus on the shoulder, but he laughed dryly when he realized that he couldn't reach it, and patted Seleus' arm instead.

"So~ this bag contains the Golden Fleece?!" Seleus was a little surprised. On the one hand, he lamented that Jason would hand over the Golden Fleece to him. Face Aeetes, King of Colchis.

"Don't you need to use it to strengthen your throne?" Seleus asked.He was a little worried that losing the Golden Fleece would bring twists and turns to Jason's throne.

"It's no big deal." Jason put away his usual playful smile, and rarely became serious.

"The Golden Fleece is only a bit of righteousness. Uncle's repudiation reminded me that without enough strength as a foundation, any promise will be false. But only strength is not enough, and sooner or later it will be with me. Like my uncle, he was instantly wiped out after encountering a more powerful force."

"so?"

"As a king, I have my own advantages." Jason proudly raised his index finger and shook it twice.

"All human activities in the world are for profit. So, I just need to use interests to unite them firmly."

"I will distribute the wealth to those who want to be rich and rich, and let him stay here to help me protect the wealth that has his share; for those who desire a stable life, I will provide them with a safe country, let He stayed here to create wealth for me to protect this stability..." Speaking of his pride, Jason couldn't help laughing.
