"Your Majesty, we have come here to borrow your Golden Fleece to complete this journey. Rest assured, I will return it to you once we have finished using it."
"Sigh..." Lin Ye knew he was doomed when he saw this.
Jason, what are you thinking? Use your big brain and think it over. If I asked to borrow your family heirloom, would you lend it to me so easily?
However, Jason doesn't see it that way.
"I'm here on Hera's orders to borrow the Golden Fleece, can you really refuse me?"
then……
Hearing Jason's words, Aeetes flew into a rage!
"Get out of my way! You robbers! Thieves! You're not here to borrow the Golden Fleece! You're here to steal my scepter and throne! Get out of here right now! Otherwise, I'll chop off your feet and cut out your tongues! I'll make you crawl back on your hands!"
Aeetes was furious, and Jason was quite helpless. However, at this moment, Lin Ye's cold voice rang out.
"Hey, aren't you mistaken about something?"
brush!
The moment the voice fell, Lin Ye appeared before Aeetes, his gaze fixed on a dead man.
Are you going to chop off your own hands and feet, gouge out your eyes and cut out your tongue? Lin Ye initially felt it was a bit inappropriate for his group to borrow the Golden Fleece from the country, which is why he politely approached you. But now that you've said this, wouldn't it be incredibly humiliating for them to just slink away like this?
Even if Jason is shameless! Do you think we're shameless? Do you take everyone for Poseidon?
“We have no interest in your throne, or rather, we could destroy your tiny kingdom with a flick of our wrist. The reason we are here to visit you in peace is not because you are a king, but because we are civilized people.”
If you agree, that's fine; if you don't agree... well…
Before Lin Ye could finish speaking, a silvery voice suddenly rang out.
"Please wait a moment, sir!"
Outside the palace, a stunningly beautiful young woman with long purple hair and exquisite features, holding a staff, slowly walked in. She bowed slightly to Lin Ye upon entering before continuing her speech.
“Sir, please calm your anger. My father did not mean that. It's just that the Golden Fleece is far too valuable to our country. Even if it were a loan, there would be a rent to pay, wouldn't you say, heroes of the Argonauts?”
Medea, the witch of Colchis, makes her appearance!
Chapter 303 I Don't Need God's Help
"Medea, is that C-Mom?"
Looking at the simulated Medea in front of him, Lin Ye sighed.
Medea, a disciple of Hecate, the goddess of magic, was a true divine magician whose talent would undoubtedly place her in the highest position in modern times.
Unfortunately, he experienced a tragic life due to the manipulation of the gods.
[At the very moment Medea appeared, an incomparably beautiful figure appeared in the sky.]
With a wave of her hand, a beam of light transformed into an arrow and pierced Jason's body; with another wave, another beam of light shot towards Medea!
Cupid's arrow!
Two people who are hit by this arrow will fall in love. Lin Ye's brother-in-law, Apollo, was toyed with by this arrow and sang under the laurel tree every day.
Meanwhile, Medea, who was in the simulation, was completely unaware.
"What are these people trying to do? Why are they trying to steal our Golden Fleece right from the start! Believe me or not, I'll show you a magic trick..."
Before Medea could react, she noticed that the simulation in front of her had suddenly changed!
02 [Just as you were about to say something, suddenly, Lin Ye's body appeared directly in front of you! With a wave of his hand, a golden chain shot directly towards you!]
"What are you going to do!!!"
However, the golden chain didn't fall on you! You suddenly looked up as if you'd noticed something! At that moment, you clearly saw it! On the still golden chain!
A pink arrow has been firmly imprisoned!
"Athena!!! Cupid's arrow!"
Medea gritted her teeth and uttered the name fiercely! As clever as she was, she knew perfectly well what the god of love was trying to do!
"Despicable!! But... why is Lin Ye helping me? Wouldn't it be better for me to help them?"
At that moment, Lin Ye waved his hand, and the arrow landed directly in his hand. Then, Lin Ye threw the arrow to the ground.
Seeing Lin Ye's actions, Aphrodite appeared before him! At that moment, she glared angrily at Lin Ye and questioned him...
"What are you doing! Can't you see I'm trying to help you!"
Hearing Aphrodite's words, Lin Ye looked at her without fear and said...
"No need. While we may need the Golden Fleece, we must take it honestly and fairly through our own abilities. I wouldn't stoop to accept a Golden Fleece obtained through such despicable means!"
"If you don't want it, I'll take it!"
Jason almost cried when he read this. Cupid was so kind; he helped him get the Golden Fleece and even gave him such a beautiful wife as a bonus! Why wouldn't he want that?!
Unlike Jason, Medea's eyes were filled with light as she watched Lin Ye dare to confront Cupid for her sake.
"This Lin Ye... is actually a pretty good person."
Upright and brave, handsome and dashing, powerful and strong, Cupid, if you're going to pair me up, at least find someone like that! Why did you give me some insignificant little brother?
"Pah! What am I saying?"
Medea blushed slightly at the thought.
Hearing Lin Ye say this, Cupid felt that her good intentions had been taken for granted, so she said angrily...
"You'll regret this!"
After saying that, Cupid transformed into a ray of light and left.
Seeing that even Cupid had appeared, Aeetes understood that these people before him were not to be trifled with, but he didn't want to give away the Golden Fleece, so he could only say...
"Alright then, my esteemed heroes. I'm willing to bestow the Golden Fleece upon you, but you must also pay me a substantial reward."
Okay then.
First, there are two bulls in the fields of Ares, with iron hooves and eyes that breathe fire. I want you to bring them back to plow the fields.
Then, I will throw the dragon teeth into the soil to cultivate it, and then terrible dragon tooth soldiers will emerge from the ground. You must deal with them one by one!
"If you complete this task, I will give you the Golden Fleece, how about it?"
Listening to Aeetes' words, Lin Ye nodded silently and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense."
Aeetes showed a look of surprise.
"But I refused them all."
Aeetes…
Lin Ye refused because he remembered that in the original timeline, Jason and his group had already fulfilled Aeetes's request, but what happened? The old man went back on his word! This led to the Medea incident later on. Since the other party wouldn't keep his promise, why was he wasting his time with him?
Looking at Aeetes in front of him, Lin Ye spoke directly to him.
“I have a friend who told me that taking what's yours and running away in the dark is just being a petty bandit, while leaving in triumph is true conquest. So… I've made my decision: you, Colchis, I will conquer you!”
Lin Ye decided to take action.
Lin Ye had also figured it out. He knew he couldn't get the Golden Fleece without taking action, so why was he wasting his breath talking to them? If he could become the king of this country, wouldn't he be able to control everything in it?
If the person responsible for the problem is dealt with, then all the problems will cease to be problems, right?
"I've simulated being a king so many times, but I've never actually been one. Let's give it a try this time."
At this moment, Aeetes was also furious upon hearing Lin Ye's words!
"Guards! Men!" Aeetes shouted.
Wow!
Countless soldiers rushed in from outside the hall! Seeing these soldiers, Aeetes felt emboldened! He pointed at Lin Ye and shouted loudly to all the soldiers.
"Kill them for me!"
kill!
In an instant, figures rushed towards Lin Ye!
However, Lin Ye showed no reaction to these soldiers. He simply turned his head to look at them, and then...
The Petrifying Demon Eye! A++!
A purple light flashed! Instantly, all the soldiers present, including Aeetes, were transformed into lifelike stone statues!
Having seen this, Lin Ye then approached the statue of Aeetes and reached out his hand...
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, Medea ran straight to the statue, her small body blocking the way of the Aeetes statue. She stared intently at Lin Ye in front of her and said...
"You want the Golden Fleece? Take it! But please don't harm my people! And don't hurt my father!"
Looking at Medea like this, Lin Ye showed her a look of great interest and said...
"Alright, since you've pleaded for him, I'll give him the chance. This is my first time being Young Master Wang's secretary, and I think you're quite good. You're the one, what do you say?"
