Chapter 40. I am a Good Man

I Will Eventually Embark On The Path Of No Return Called A Hero - 40. I am a Good man

---

Today King of Colchis - Aeëtes, father of Medea is very upset because of the legal robbers, no... the group of heroes that came to his country.

Seeing Jason who had been giving impassioned speeches in front of him for most of the day, Aeëtes felt a little sleepy. After talking for a long time, he made a bunch of empty checks and wanted him to give the Golden Fleece for nothing. What did he say when he inherited the throne? Countless treasures will be offered and lasting friendships will be forged...

Shit!

What do you do when you take the wool and pass the sea to renege on a debt? After all, whether you can inherit the throne is still a question!

Aeëtes, who knew this wonderful chair well, wouldn't believe that Jason's uncle would give up the throne to Jason. This impossible journey is the best proof, and it just so happened that he didn't intend to give Golden Fleece to him.

"Well, I heard that you are a great hero, you just have me to prove that you have that qualification," Aeëtes tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers.

"How to prove it?" Jason's eyes shined, what he was most afraid of was that Aeëtes would reject him directly, and then drove them out! But now there is a chance!

"You only need to be able to drive my two fire-breathing oxen to plow the fields and plant some dragon teeth," Aeëtes spread his hands, "By the way, please clean up the things that grow out with your bare hands."

Jason's expression gradually solidified. If it was Hercules, it is estimated that he would ask for a trial now, but unfortunately, he is not Hercules.

"Could the great King of Colchis give me a few days to prepare," Jason said grudgingly.

"Yes, but only for you," Aeëtes curled his lips with disdain. Seeing this Jason doesn't look like a fighter, and it is estimated that the fire-breathing cow is enough to kill him.

In the end, Jason, with a solemn expression, returned to The Argo with the melon-eating crowd, and Aeëtes also rubbed his temple with a headache. Although he solved it for Jason very well, who knows what the hero after Jason will do?

"Where's Medea?" Aeëtes looked towards the guard beside him.

"The princess should still be in her room," the guard said after a while.

Medusa, now hiding in Medea's bed, is enjoying a long-lost, restful sleep.

"Alright, it's not good if I'm thinking about it," Aeëtes relaxed, he was worried now that Jason and the group knew they couldn't pass the test and wanted to use their brains.

He really guessed right at this point, and Jason really got his head around it.

"Go to the Temple of Eros and ask for her help," Jason quietly slipped off The Argo and ran to the door of the Temple of Eros after breaking up the crowd of melon eaters.

But before he could go in, the sap hit the back of his head accurately. Jason only felt a pain in the back of his head, and he lay down in the dark.

"Sneak attack so casually, are you really a student of Sensei?" Cyd in a black robe stabbed Jason in the butt with a stick.

"He's bleeding," Medea, who was hiding in the Cyd black robe, took out a bottle of magic potion moved towards Jason's head, and drenched it, accompanied by a suspicious white smoke, Medea revealed a sweet Smiling, "It'll be fine."

"Anyway, let's drag him away first," Cyd looked around and dragged Jason directly into the alley.

"Slap---"

After confirming that this was a quiet and unoccupied dead end, Cyd threw Jason on the wall and slapped him on it.

"It hurts!!!"

Jason covered his face and jumped up.

"It is still good that you know the pain. If I hadn't happened to pass by you, you would have been killed by Aeëtes' ambush." Cyd looked at the head helplessly. "The injury has been healed for you."

"Is that so?" Jason touched the back of his head, and there was blood but no wound, then Jason believed, "Thank you Cyd, it seems that I was prejudiced against you before."

Medea, who was hiding behind Cyd, widened her eyes.

Aren't you the one who attacked him? Why do you dump the pot on my father!

Medea, who was getting more and more angry, pinched the flesh around Cyd's waist and tried to twist it 180 degrees, but she... couldn't turn it!

"It's a small matter, King Aeëtes has found out that you intend to use the power of the gods, presumably as long as you are in Colchis, you will be attacked no matter which temple you go," Cyd said more to Jason more desparate.

"Then what to do!? It's impossible to complete the trial," Jason frantically grabbed his hair.

Well, if you can't do it with your abilities, why Golden Fleece will be yours?

"Relax, you just need to eat, eat, and sleep well to finish the trial," Cyd patted Jason's shoulder, then gave a thumbs up, "The rest is to believe me!"

"Why...you want to help me?" Jason looked at Cyd blankly, "Don't you hate me?"

"What I hate is you who don't know the meaning of what a hero is, and use the name hero to gratify your desires. If you want to move on, if you have the courage to take a step toward the abyss of ten thousand deep down, then you are really a hero," Cyd reached out and tapped Jason's heart.

"Just hold your head up for me. Sensei's students will never back down from a trial of this level! What's the answer?"

"I...I Got it!" Jason puffed out his chest subconsciously.

"You will pass the test and come back with Golden Fleece," Cyd raised the corner of his mouth, "This is your destiny, you just need to wait for it to come, and the rest... believe me."

"Thank you," Jason took a deep look at Cyd, "I take back the sentence that you are not a hero."

Well~ I have to help you, although I didn't intend to give you the real Golden Fleece either.

"Let's go, then, the hero who greets victory can't be like this," Cyd pointed to Jason's tattered coat due to Cyd's dragging, "throw it away with your weakness, and then come with a new look."

"En!" Jason excitedly took off his clothes and threw them on the ground as if they were weak, "I believe in you!"

Having said that, Jason passed Cyd and walked out, confident as if he had just boarded The Argo.

"But I don't believe you," Cyd bent over to pick up Jason's coat, then laughed, "that's why I [helped] you."

"He..." Medea put her head on Cyd's back, "I believe in you, I believe you are for his own good."

"I do for his own good," Cyd at a moderate pace folded Jason's clothes said.

"But you're lying to him," Medea clutched at Cyd's clothes.

"You simple girl, no one can see through the heart of the human being, whether it is good deeds for a certain purpose or pure nature so no one knows, so why bother to get to the bottom of it one by one?," Cyd snapped his fingers, "My actions are undoubtedly kind to Jason, but what is in my heart actually Jason doesn't care, as long as I help him accomplish his goals, to him I am a..."

"Good man!"
