"Aboard the Argonauts, heroes from the Greek mainland..."

The rich and loud voice echoed throughout the banquet, causing the banquet to become quiet all of a sudden. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, the center of the palace.

The person who said this was Aeetes, the king of Colchis.

Medea's statement that he has an uncle's face is not correct.

Now he is in his prime, strong and looks quite heroic.

He is the son of the former Sun God Helios and the Ocean Goddess Perse, and inherited the powerful God Bloodline. Although he is the leader of a country, he is no less bloody than the heroes of Al.

Standing upright in the lobby, Aeetes solemnly said: "Welcome to the Kingdom of Colchis. Compared to the countries of our heroes, Colchis may be a little simple. If there is any lack of hospitality, Please bear with me."

There was a burst of applause at the banquet, especially the Argonauts, who naturally praised Colchis repeatedly.

This is not a modesty, but a fact in their minds.

After all, Colchis is located next to Mystra Academy. As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. From Mystra Academy, Colchis learned a lot of things that were advanced in this era, which naturally made this country more advanced. Everywhere on mainland Greece appears advanced and civilized.

At least in terms of food, the knowledge of the Argonauts has greatly increased.

Naturally, there were some polite words that followed, with both parties complimenting each other. You said my country was prosperous, and I praised your heroic appearance. In short, it was a good time for the host and the guest.

"I received your message during the day today"

Aeetes changed the subject.

The Argonauts present knew that the real drama was coming, and they all pricked up their ears and looked at him seriously.

"According to what your envoys have said, the Argonauts are here for the Golden Fleece, our national treasure in Colchis.

After saying this, there was an uproar on the scene. The Colchis nobles who originally got along harmoniously with the Argonauts immediately changed their eyes towards these heroes, from their original appreciation to hostility.

They all knew the importance of the Golden Fleece, and naturally regarded these Argonauts as bandits.

However, Aeetes did not show great anger. Instead, he showed a kind smile: "Please forgive me for being rude. This treasure is really related to our country's national treasure, and to me and the fate of our country. We can't hand it over."

Among the crowd, Jason's expression immediately became ugly.

Is this such a rejection reply?

He naturally expected this answer - no, to be more precise, he should have guessed it a long time ago. After all, for most people, their own lives are definitely more important even compared to Oracle.

In this regard, he has already thought about many words of persuasion and ways to deal with it.

However, before he could open his mouth to persuade, Aeetes suddenly changed his tone.

"However, given that you have traveled thousands of miles and gone through all kinds of hardships to come to Colchis, and that you are here for the Oracle, I am not an unkind person, let alone disobey the wishes of the gods. Therefore, I decided to give you a test and let fate decide who owns the Golden Fleece.

"If you can complete my test, it proves that the Golden Fleece of Destiny belongs to you, and I will give the Golden Fleece to you.

"On the other hand, you have to return the same way and stop thinking about the Golden Fleece. What do you think?"

Jason was stunned by Aeetes' words.

This idea sounds... very good.

He thought that in the end the two sides might have to fight for the Golden Fleece? After all, you also have an Oracle, and I also have an Oracle. The other party really refused to agree to give out the Golden Fleece even if he hated the gods, which was barely justified.

But if it is a test, although there is no direct refusal or agreement to take out the Golden Fleece, it is still an argument that makes it difficult for the gods to find fault.

It just seems too mild.

This attitude of the other party made everyone in Argo happy but also secretly wary.

None of them are idiots, so they naturally don't think things will succeed so easily.

So Jason stood up and said politely: "Treasures belong to the strong. If you don't have enough strength, it will only bring disaster. His Majesty the King has set a test for the Golden Fleece. There is no problem, so I represent The Argonauts fully agree to this condition. However, I am still worried that the level of this test is too unrealistic..."

After hearing Jason's words, everyone in Argo nodded secretly.

Asking for flowers......

There may indeed be traps here, although it is a normal condition to obtain treasures through tests. But if the test is too unrealistic or too troublesome, such as asking them to kill a certain god or count from one to one hundred million, then it will be completely impossible to complete.

"Don't worry, my test will naturally be a very normal test." Aeetes smiled lightly, "At least it is a test that a mortal can complete."

"I have two sacred cows that can spit out divine fire from their noses. I am used to using these two cows to plow the fields. Your first test is to subdue the pair of sacred cows and make them plow the fields obediently.

"In addition, the Colchis Dragon that guards the Golden Fleece will shed and replace its dragon teeth every year. We will collect these dragon teeth and transform them using special methods. As long as these dragon teeth are sown, we can produce a group of fully armed Warriors. I will give you a bag of dragon teeth. Your second test is to defeat these dragon teeth transformed warriors. Jason, if you can complete this thing, I will allow you to go to the sacred forest [take away Golden Fleece.”

Jason was silent for a while, unable to make up his mind, because he knew that he could not complete Aeetes' test on his own.

But thinking of the throne of Thessaly Kingdom and his many companions, Jason immediately felt relieved.

Anyway, they have everything.

So he said firmly: "No matter how difficult the task is, we are willing to stand the test. King Aeetes, I am willing to die for this."

Aeetes glanced at Jason in surprise.

But from the outside, Jason is indeed a perfect hero, and even he can't see that he is superficial.

But thinking of the fanatical and malicious eyes of those guys from Mystra Academy, he nodded and said.

"Okay! In that case, I'm looking forward to your performance. I hope you will think carefully about it. If you can't complete the task, then I hope you can stop thinking about the Golden Fleece."
