Chapter 43: Born In Arrogance, Ended In Greed! (Please Subscribe!)
[You have already seen through the nature of most heroes of this era. They are very different from the heroes and heroes that Huxia people think of as heroes who help the weak and fight against the strong. ]
[They are called heroes only because they have a powerful strength far beyond that of ordinary people, not because their morality is so noble or their behavior is so righteous. ]
[Of course, it doesn't mean that all heroes are like this. At least Hercules and Orpheus are pretty good. ]
[As for the others--------------]
[You can only say that you are used to it. ]
[Their personalities are much stronger than ordinary people, especially in terms of greed and enjoyment. ]
[They are naturally unwilling to lag behind when there are benefits. ]
[But when they need to pay, they have another attitude. ]
[The women's demands soon caused dissatisfaction among most heroes. ]
[We are heroes, how can we do the work of farmers?]
[Our hands can only wield swords and fight monsters. How can we hold hoes and cultivate the fields all day long?!]
[The contradiction between the two sides became increasingly acute, and the heroes suddenly found that these women did not seem to be as good as they imagined. ]
[The beautiful appearance and beautiful body lost their effect. ]
[Jason took this group of heroes and fled back to the Argo overnight. ]
["Quick! Hurry up and set sail!"]
[Jason woke up the sleeping Hercules breathlessly. He would look at the land from time to time, and when he found that the women were rushing to the port, his tone became more and more urgent. ]
["Hercules, hurry up! Hurry up! They are coming!"]
[I was reluctant to leave before, but now I can't wait to escape. ]
[The contrast between before and after is so great that it makes people laugh when thinking about it. ]
[You quietly watched the group of heroes fleeing in panic, and felt that this era was really terrible. ]
[You no longer had the same anticipation for the voyage of the Argo as before. ]
[The so-called great epic is just an excuse for a group of rabble to plunder people's wealth and treasures along the way. ]
[The huge anchor was pulled up by Hercules effortlessly, and the Argo slowly started. ]
[Amid the angry shouts of the women in the port, the divine ship sailed away from Lemnos. ]
[You stood at the stern, and the island slowly became smaller in your eyes until it was out of sight. ]
[After a while. ]
[You shook your head and returned to the cabin. ]
[It was still very lively inside. When the heroes came back, they took away some of the women's food and wine. Together with the meat that Hercules had hunted during this 330 days, it was enough for these heroes to squander until the next destination. ]
[Jason saw you at the door of the cabin, and he warmly invited you to drink with him. ]
[But this time, you refused. ]
["I have quit drinking." ]
["Quit drinking? If you can't drink and eat meat, what kind of hero are you?" ]
[Jason can't understand your thoughts, and you don't need him to understand. ]
[Essentially, you are different from the people of this era. ]
[It's not reflected in your appearance, but in your thoughts. ]
[Your definition of a hero is something that Jason and his friends can't understand. ]
[Perhaps only Hercules and Orpheus can understand a little bit. ]
[In the days that followed, you no longer attended banquets, but just accompanied Anna and Togo to grill meat and enjoy the sea view. ]
[Occasionally, you would sing to the bright moon, attracting a group of marine creatures to escort you. ]
[Smart dolphins jumped around the Argo, groups of killer whales accompanied you, and from time to time a few mermaids swam over, lying on the reef, lovingly watching you singing loudly. ]
[Even Atalanta, who had always been away from the crowd, would join in from time to time, and Hercules and Orpheus became regulars. ]
[Especially Orpheus, a musician, admired your beautiful voice, and when he was excited, he would take out his beloved harp and play a song for you. ]
[The days passed in this dull way until we arrived at the island where the people of Dulio lived. ]
[Here, the heroes' bravery came in handy. ]
[They defeated the six-armed giant who was causing chaos on the island, which should have been a good thing, but an accident happened on the way out. ]
[Because of the headwind and ocean current, the Argo was forced to return to the island of the Dulio people, and a rebellion happened on the island at that time. ]
[The Dulio people mistakenly thought that the heroes were also rebels, so the two sides fought each other. ]
[The heroes accidentally killed the king of the Dulio people. ]
[They mourned on the island for three days before setting sail again. ]
Anna couldn't understand.
What was so glorious about this journey?
She had also had fantasies, but now all the filters were broken.
From Lemnos Island to the Dulio people, what the heroes did, in Anna's eyes, was not justified at all!
Oh. (cfae)
It's not completely wrong, at least they did defeat the six-armed giant who was causing chaos. Although in the end, the king was killed as well...
Togo had the same idea as Anna.
He even felt it more deeply!
Togo remembered the days when he and Alex traveled together, they helped the weak and helped the weak escape justice, and brought down the due punishment on the evildoers.
Although they lived in poverty and could not enjoy any fine wine and delicacies most of the time [Song could make his own food and clothing.
However, they were very happy every day and looked forward to the next day.
And now?
Togo fell into doubt.
——Are these people really heroes?
"Zoe, I don't understand why they killed a good man by mistake, but can still continue to enjoy life without any guilt? These fine wines and food [are not all given to them by Du Li?"
It was another moonlit night. Anna listened to the heroes shouting and calling friends in the cabin, and her eyes were full of confusion.
Compared to Alex, this group of people is far worse.
They are not worthy of the word "hero" at all!
"There are obviously better ways to solve the problem, but they have never thought about it. They just draw their swords and kill people. I... don't like them."
Anna is a rare, truly kind person in this era.
In her opinion, Dulio just misunderstood. It is obvious that they only need to make it clear to avoid fighting.
But this group of heroes disagreed and directly drew their swords against each other.
They did not consider the consequences of doing so at all.
They are happy to repay their enemies and are very cool.
What is left for Dulio is a pile of corpses.
The heroes who made such a big mistake are still enjoying the gifts given by Dulio.
Anna still remembers that the supplies on the ship were personally delivered by the king of Dulio after the heroes killed the six-armed giant that day...
The kind king is not a bad person.
In the end, he was beheaded by a hero.
Did he really kill by mistake?
Anna expressed doubts about this.
After hearing Anna's words, Togo, Hercules, Orpheus and Atalanta also fell silent at the same time.
Faced with the girl's doubts, Alex smiled and reached out to gently stroke Anna's long hair of the same color as her eyes.
He praised: "Very good, Anna, you have learned to think independently. This means that you are beginning to grow up and have your own views on everything in the world. I am sincerely happy for you."
After a pause, Alex sorted out his words and began to answer the girl's doubts: "First of all, I can tell you very clearly that their behavior is by no means just!"
"Being dominated by arrogance and driven by greed, this is the nature of heroes!"
Through this period of observation, Alex made the most accurate judgment for the heroes on the Argo.
Because of their arrogance, they disdained to explain to the Dulios.
Out of greed, they killed the king of the Dulios and took away most of the island's wealth!
The misunderstanding born of arrogance created a tragedy caused by greed!
The Dulios were just victims from beginning to end.
And.
Alex looked towards the sky, and his eyes seemed to reach the lofty Mount Olympus.
And the secrets above the clouds.
How could a great divine ship be unable to move forward because of headwinds and ocean currents?
Only a higher level of power could affect the Argo protected by Athena.
Is it fate?
Alex couldn't be sure.
[This is a disappointing voyage. At this point, the only reason for you to stay here is the legendary Golden Fleece. ]
[Because of your existence, the Argos were tacitly divided into two groups. ]
[The heroes led by Jason, and the small group led by you, Hercules, Orpheus and Atalanta are all on your side. ]
[You didn't have any disputes, after all, you have the same goal. ]
[Including Jason himself, he doesn't think there is anything wrong. ]
[Looking at those minor shortcomings, he is actually quite suitable to be a friend. He is generous and very generous to his friends. ]
[He has a good personal relationship with you and once promised that when he regains the throne, he is willing to share the wealth of the kingdom with you and share the wealth with you. ]
[But you refused. ]
[For you, the wealth of the world is nothing but a passing cloud. ]
[You just want to follow the path in your heart until the end of the journey. ]
[Jason doesn't understand, but he doesn't force it. ]
[He laughed and teased you, saying that you don't look like a hero, but more like a whimsical fool. ]
[As soon as he said this, Jason was severely beaten by Anna and Togo. ]
[Fortunately, this little yellow-haired boy did not bear grudges, and he still came to fish with you the next day. ]
[It's a pity that his skills are really not good. He didn't catch any fish for several days. ]
[Jason was so angry that he threw his fishing rod on the spot, returned to the cabin, and continued to live a life of drunkenness. ]
[The days passed one by one, and after a whole month, the sea that seemed to have no end finally changed. ]
[The Argo successfully arrived at the third stop, Pablo Kia. ]
[The local king challenged the heroes to a boxing match, and the loser would be killed. ]
[The hero Polydeuces went to the battle, and after a fierce battle, he punched the king to death. ]
[Then, they helped Phineus, who was punished by Zeus for leaking the secrets many times and became blind. ]
[In return, Phineus told Jason how to hit the rocks. ]
The so-called collision with rocks is actually the last barrier to enter the Black Sea!
This is a strait with rocks on both sides that may collide with each other at any time.
The only way is to use white doves and let them pass through the strait first.
Taking advantage of the rebound after the collision of rocks, the Argonaut will have a chance to pass quickly.
Now that he knows how to pass, Jason will naturally not lack the courage to take risks.
He took the white doves given by Phineus and returned to the Argonaut to explain this method to everyone.
It was unanimously agreed by the heroes.
It should be said that this group of people are really not afraid of death.
Phineus dares to say it, and they really dare to do it!
But if you think about it carefully, it seems quite normal.
Heroes may lack virtue, but they will never lack courage.
At least when they are young, they will definitely not lack courage.
If they are afraid of death, how can they fight monsters?
If they don't try it, they will only be laughed at if they tell others about it!
"Phineus will never lie to me! It will definitely succeed! Entering the Black Sea, we can reach the end of the journey and write a new legend in the Kingdom of Koschi!"
"Cheers, my crew!"
"The great voyage has finally come to the final chapter!"
Jason's words were very inflammatory, and the heroes seemed to have seen the day when they would return with glory.
Morale immediately rose, and the fear of hitting the rocks was almost gone.
Seeing that the time had come, Jason released a few white pigeons in his hand.
Let them explore the way first.
The white pigeons knew very well about hitting the rocks and passed the strait very smoothly.
Taking advantage of the moment of the rebound from the impact with the rock, Jason shouted "Set sail!"
The heroes who had been prepared for a long time immediately paddled with all their might, pushing the Argo to rush out at the fastest speed.
"Faster!"
"Faster!"
Jason, who was in charge of steering, had veins on his neck, and he urged at the top of his lungs.
The heroes paddled the steel oars to leave afterimages, and the water splashes like explosions formed huge waves, pushing the Argo to make the final sprint.
However.
It was still a little short.
Under Jason's eyes, the impact with the rock closed quickly!
If it hit hard, I'm afraid the entire Argo would be crushed into a discus!
It's too late!!!
Jason's face was pale, and Hercules roared, hitting the rock with his body.
It temporarily slowed down the speed of the rock closing.
But it was still not enough!
The bow of the Argo had just gone out!
What to do?
What to do?
At this moment of despair, a beautiful figure appeared above the Argo!
——It was Athena!
She stretched out her left hand and blocked the impact rock without any fireworks.
Such a slender arm is not completely comparable to Hercules's arm, which is as thick as an adult man's waist.
But it was this slender and beautiful arm that easily supported the rock that Hercules could not support!
Boom!
The impact rock could not withstand the power of the gods, and a crack visible to the naked eye appeared at the moment of contact.
Athena did not seem to want to destroy this wonder. After slowing down the speed of the rock closing, she stretched out her right hand and gently pushed the Argo.
Sent this divine ship directly out of the strait and into the Black Sea.
The heroes on the ship survived the disaster and looked at Athena in the air with respect and gratitude.
Some heroes were still believers of Athena, and they were kneeling on their knees, praying and singing praises to the gods they believed in.
However, Athena didn't even look at them, and her expression didn't change at all.
She just walked straight to Alex.
The next second, under the stunned gaze of the heroes, the goddess's delicate and beautiful face bloomed with the brightest smile.
"Long time no see, little Zoe."
