"I am Atalanta's husband, Medea. Nice to meet you."
Seeing the stunned expressions of these heroes, Medea smiled, her smile was so thrilling and intoxicating.
"This is real?"
The speaker was Meleager, the married hero who hunted wild boars with Atalanta. He had always had a deep ambition for the androgynous and beautiful Atalanta.
Atalanta shook her head and said calmly: "No, she is my wife."
When Atalanta shook her head, Meleager felt that life was still full of hope, but when he heard the next words, he felt deep disappointment again.
As for other heroes, although they have more or less thoughts about this powerful and beautiful heroine, they are not as crazy as Meleager. When I heard the news, I just kept sighing, isn't this such a waste
Ignoring the lost Meleager, the purpose of Medea's coming this time was to help Jason and the others complete their mission.
She took out a magic potion, which was prepared by the god she served. Hecate, the creator of magic, prepared it herself. After giving the instructions to Jason, Medea and Atalanta left hand in hand.
The next day, Jason followed Medea's instructions and took the poisonous dragon's tooth from King Aeetes. Jason bathed at night and sacrificed it to the god Hecate.
Hearing his prayers, the goddess emerged from her underground cave, her hideous head entwined with tangled snakes and flaming branches, the dogs of the underworld running at her feet, and her steps making the fields tremble.
Jason was frightened, but he obeyed Medea and walked forward without looking back until the goddess of dawn dyed the snowy peaks of the Caucasus red with purple dawn.
After Jason left, a voice sounded from behind the goddess: "You are so boring, dressing up in such a weird way."
Hecate looked back and saw three gods, one man and two women, coming over. She smiled softly: "Life is so boring, you have to find something to make yourself happy."
"The God of Tianhe, the Lord of Jupiter, and the Lord of Cancer Palace, why are you here?" Hecate was very surprised. How come these three main gods who, like herself, belong to the Adros Star Court, came to this remote small town? island.
Styx stretched and said lazily: "Our Lord God, let us take care of these humans together, and when the matter is over, go to Olympus to discuss matters with Zeus about the gods of the constellations. "
"Is it just us?" Hecate asked doubtfully. Although she was not afraid, it felt like it was not the case for four people to attack Olympus.
"No one else can show up at the moment, so we are the only ones suitable."
Hecate nodded: "When will you go?"
Styx did not answer, but looked at the sea goddess next to her, Thetis, the Lord of the Cancer Palace.
Thetis smiled and said: "On this sea, something big will happen soon. After that happens, we will go."
"What's the big deal?" Prometheus, the god of Jupiter, the prophet who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but ask.
Thetis shook her head: "Our Lord God said that the secrets of heaven and earth cannot be leaked easily. It is enough for me to tell him about this matter."
"How stingy." Hecate curled her lips. She didn't believe that her mother, Nyx, would not have the answer. She would ask her later when she got back.
······
Jason used the potion Medea gave him to anoint his spear, shield and sword, and then anointed his whole body with ointment. When the ointment was applied to his body, it immediately produced magical power that penetrated his limbs, full of power, and he longed for it. Fighting.
These magic potions were all Hecate's creations, and no one in the entire Chaos pantheon could surpass her in this regard.
In this field dedicated to Ares, the god of war, King Aeetes and the Koskis were waiting to watch Jason's performance. I saw Jason walking towards him as mightily as Ares and Apollo, wearing a shining golden war helmet full of sharp teeth and a sword.
He looked around the field and soon discovered that the yokes, plows and plowshares lying on the ground were all made of iron. Suddenly, the sacred cows in the cave rushed towards him fiercely. These sacred cows breathed flames from their mouths and raised their horns towards Jason.
Jason did not retreat. The magic medicine allowed him to withstand the flames. He grabbed the horns of the bull and dragged it to the iron yoke with all his strength. He quickly put the iron yoke around the neck of the sacred bull. In this way, he Subdued two sacred cows.
Then Jason took his spear and drove the sacred ox to plow deep furrows in the wasteland. He followed behind with long strides, sowing the teeth of the poisonous dragon. In the afternoon, when all the fields were tilled, Jason took off the yoke and threatened the sacred cows with his weapon, and they fled in terror.
When the sun was about to set, the crops in the fields had grown, and the entire field was shining with the light of shields, spears, and war helmets. Jason remembered Medea's words. He picked up a huge stone that four strong men could not move and threw it from a distance towards the warriors born from the soil. Then he knelt on the ground and covered himself with a shield. .
The Koskis shouted loudly, the sound shook the heaven and the earth, like huge waves crashing against the rocks. King Aeetes also watched this strange throw in undisguised alarm, knowing full well that Jason would not have done it without the help of his daughter.
At this time, the warriors born from the soil bit each other like ferocious dogs. Everyone was roaring and killing each other. When the battle reached its hottest, Jason suddenly flew among them like a shooting star. He drew his sword and stabbed left and right, cutting down the ones that had grown up, cutting away the ones that had just emerged on his shoulders like mowing grass, and killing those who came to join the battle. Suddenly, the fields became rivers of blood, and the fields were littered with dead and wounded. Jason was victorious, and his friends surrounded him joyfully, cheering loudly, and burning torches all night long to celebrate Jason's success.
At this time, King Aeetes was discussing with the elders in the palace how to destroy these Argonauts. Medea also had a premonition that her father had discovered her secret, but she was not afraid at all. She already knew that the goddess Hecate whom she worshiped had arrived on this island.
In front of all the heroes, she suddenly held Atalanta's hand and said as gently as water: "It seems that we are going to elope."
Atalanta also risked her life, hugged her back and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I will support you for the rest of my life."
When the heroes saw him, they didn't know what to say. The words turned into helpless smiles on their lips.
"You two, I think what we should be concerned about now is how to get out of here. The king is already murdering us. As for seizing the Golden Fleece, I think we should forget about it."
Jason had actually discovered a long time ago that the king should have been instructed by the gods and had no intention of letting them leave alive.
