"According to your messengers, the Argonauts are here for the 'Golden Fleece', the treasure of our town of Colchis."

After saying this, there was a big uproar at the scene, and the eyes of the Colchis nobles who were in harmony with the Argonauts changed immediately when they looked at these heroes, from their original appreciation to full of hostility.

They all knew the importance of the Golden Fleece, and naturally regarded these Argonauts as robber-like figures.

However, Aietes did not show very angry, but showed a generous smile: "Please forgive me for being rude, this treasure is really a national treasure of our country, and it is related to me and the fate of our country. We can't hand it over."

In the crowd, Jason's expression immediately turned ugly.

Such a refusal to answer?

He naturally expected this answer—no, to be more precise, he should have guessed it long ago. After all, for most people, even compared with oracles, their own lives are of course more important.

In this regard, he has also realized and thought about many words of persuasion and how to deal with it.

However, before he could open his mouth to persuade, Aietes suddenly changed his words.

"However, given that you have traveled thousands of miles and have come to Colchis through untold hardships, and that you have also come with an oracle, I am not a shy person, nor will I disobey the meaning of the gods. Therefore, I decided to give you a test and let the destiny decide the ownership of the golden fleece.

If you can complete my test, it will prove that the golden fleece of destiny belongs to you, and I will give you the golden fleece.

Otherwise, you have to go back to the same path obediently and stop thinking about the Golden Fleece. What do you think? "

Jason was taken aback by Aietes' words.

Sounds like a good idea.

He thought that in the end the two sides might fight for the Golden Fleece?After all, you also have oracles, and I also have oracles. Even if the other party is mad at the gods, he still insists on not agreeing to take out the golden fleece, which is justified.

But if it is a test, although there is no direct rejection or promise to take out the golden fleece, it is also a statement that the gods can't fault.

It just seems too mild.

The attitude of the other party made everyone in Argo happy and secretly vigilant.

None of them is a sloppy bag, and naturally they don't think things will be so simple and successful.

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

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

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

"Don't worry, my test will naturally be a very normal test." Aietes smiled lightly, "At least it's a test that mortals can complete."

"I have two divine oxen that can spew divine fire from their noses. I'm used to using these two oxen to plough the land. Your first test is to subdue the pair of divine oxen and let them plough the land obediently.

In addition, the Colchis dragon that guards the Golden Fleece sheds and replaces its dragon teeth every year. We will collect these dragon teeth and transform them with special methods. As long as these dragon teeth are spread, a group of fully armed fighter.I will give you a bag of dragon teeth, and your second test will be to defeat these dragon teeth transformed warriors.Jason, if you can accomplish this, I will allow you to go to the Sacred Grove and take the Golden Fleece. "

Jason was silent for a while, undecided, knowing that he could not complete Aietes' test by himself.

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

Anyway, everything has them.

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

Aietes gave Jason a surprised look.

But from the looks of it, Jason is indeed a consummate hero, and even he doesn't see his façade.

But thinking of the frenetic and malicious eyes of the guys from Mystra College, he nodded and said.

"Okay! In this case, I look forward to your performance. I hope you will think about it carefully. If you can't complete the task, then I hope you can stop giving the Golden Fleece any thought."

Chapter 0758 Dragon's Trap

As the exchange between the Argonauts and King Aietes of Colchis ended, the banquet continued.

But at this time, the warm atmosphere of the banquet was no longer there.

Although Aietes took the initiative to decide the ownership of the Golden Fleece by "testing" just now, the contradiction between the two parties originally caused by the Golden Fleece was eased, but this was only a relaxation.

In the eyes of the nobles of Colchis, the Argonauts came to Colchis not for a friendly visit as they imagined, but for complete malice.

Under such circumstances, even those aristocratic officials who originally appreciated the Argonauts, even actively communicated with them, and even had the idea of ​​choosing a few son-in-law among them, dared not continue to have sex with them. What contact do they have, for fear of being seen as a traitor of Colchis by others.

In such an atmosphere, the atmosphere of the banquet became extraordinarily strange.

Originally, the two parties gathered together, and the scene of enthusiastic exchanges completely disappeared, and the participants spontaneously divided into three waves.

On the side of the nobles of Colchis, the Argonauts also stayed together.

As for the third wave, it was the guys in the robes and holding the staff—the mages from Mystra College.

They have always been incompatible with ordinary people, and mortal power is worthless to them, if it is not because the Colchis Kingdom belongs to King Aietes, and Aietes befriends Mystra College. , they won't even come here.

From the beginning of the banquet, these mages stayed in their own corners, and the nobles of Colchis didn't care, it seemed that they were completely used to them.

Therefore, in the current banquet, only Ye Ting and Medea, who belong to both sides, are still strutting together.

On the other hand, the Argonauts are also communicating privately.

Although Jason agreed to the test of King Aietes before, but in fact this does not mean that he has the confidence to complete the test.

Therefore, how to complete the test, he must discuss with his companions.

The heroes also differed in their opinions on the trial of Aietes.
