Chapter 890 New·Argonaut Legend... Twelve Trials

"What are these things? It seems that the knowledge here is even more difficult to understand. Damn, it's easy to say..."

In the great silent library, some lovely murmurs sounded.

In the sea of ​​books, manuscripts, ancient parchments, papyrus, etc., the ancient scrolls are so vast and overwhelming, like an endless ocean of knowledge, in the middle of rows of tall bookshelves, a little girl as pure as a lily Frown slightly.

She looked down at the "Key of Solomon" in her arms, and then looked up at the strange names of the classics on the bookshelf. She couldn't help but fell into deep thought, as if she was quite troubled by it. look like.

It has been a while since she learned magic, maybe the teacher's teaching ability is first-rate, or maybe she is really talented in this area for no reason, or it is more likely to be a combination of both.

All in all, Miss Medea has advanced by leaps and bounds in the way of magic. The progress can be said to be rapid and rapid. In less than half a month, she has reached the magic attainment that ordinary magicians can only have the opportunity to achieve after a lifetime of intensive study.

Of course, it cannot be ignored that she is the source of the existence concept of "Medea" at this moment. As the original orthodoxy of the Greek world, the source of multiple and unique legends, her inheritance of blood and divinity gave her a great advantage at birth. .

Even if you don't know how to use your own blood power, it is a proper and pure branch of the Olympus pedigree.

Magic is mystery.

Mysteries bow before higher-ranking mysteries.

In view of the above two principles, it is not difficult for Miss Medea to make such progress. For her, ordinary magic is not "mysterious" at all.

However, after going through the early stage, when the practice of magic has entered the unfathomable realm, and has begun to touch the level of law and reason, even if Miss Medea has an advantage, the progress in this aspect will be slow. It will inevitably slow down.

The girl didn't know how amazing her learning progress was, and she didn't know that under the one-on-one teaching plan personally formulated by the magician who was the closest to the truth in the world, she had already completed the basic part of magic and magic in a short period of time. All the practice of advanced knowledge.

She didn't know this, so she was somewhat worried, thinking that maybe the teacher had too high expectations of her, and the learning plan she formulated was too pursuit of efficiency, which led to her not laying a good foundation and not being solid enough.

I learned fast in the past, but I may have missed too much basic knowledge——

Because when I started studying a few days ago, the wind was going smoothly, why did I suddenly start to feel powerless these two days, it can't be that I suddenly became stupid, right?But the teacher is a teacher after all, and she has no way to point out the mistakes of the other party.

So taking advantage of the other person's absence today, the girl sneaked into the big library, wanting to check for gaps and make up for the basic knowledge that may have been missed by herself... She thinks that should be the case, and this is the solution Method.

only……

The space of the big library seems to be boundless. Standing on the aisle of huge bookshelves neatly lined up row by row, looking forward, you can hardly see the end at all. It seems that the time and space here are stretched infinitely. Even the entire universe can be accommodated easily.

In addition, this is a private library. From the date of completion, it is not planned to be exhibited publicly, so there are no signs, plans, etc. in it... So, it is conceivable that people who are not familiar with it will think How difficult it is to find specific information in it.

Miss Medea searched in vain for a long time before she felt that she had finally found what she wanted.

—Yes, she felt that she had found it.

"Is this...the 'basic' magic that I missed? "

The girl stared wide-eyed, staring at the classics on the bookshelf in disbelief. Just the name of the book itself made her feel daunted.

"Easy Magic: Weaponizing Secret Celestial Objects"…

"Basic Mysticism: Analysis of the Principles of Saints' Collapse and God's Spiritual Clothing"...

"Building a Magic Workshop for Beginners II How to Build a Stellar Fortress"...

Emmmmm......

Ok……

Miss Medea really felt a little dizzy. She looked around and found that the bookshelves in this area were all like this. The names of the books and notes on the covers often had the same prefix, which was extremely astonishing. consistency.

It's "Easy and Easy", "Basic Beginners", "Beginners", and so on.

But if you look carefully, you will find that the theoretical knowledge they involve is so speechless. Even the girl who can be said to be proficient in magic feels dizzy for a while. Are these things over the top? ?
Or, did my teacher make a mistake when categorizing?
Not understanding what was going on, she sighed, raised her hand, and gently brushed the books on the bookshelf in front of her with her slender fingertips.

Those books have a sense of age, as if they have an ancient and mysterious texture precipitated by the vicissitudes of time, and almost all the manuscripts of the books have a gray feeling.This is unimaginable, after all, the impression that the puppet lady gave to Miss Medea was too deep.

It shouldn't be that I missed it and didn't clean it, or I was lazy and didn't clean it...

But deliberately did not clean here?

Miss Medea thought so, and felt that this should be the case, but she couldn't think of any reason why she avoided cleaning here.

These dusty ancient classics were silent, they were just placed there peacefully, the girl stared at them, and slowly became a little dazed, and her spirit became trance, as if her consciousness had left her body and reached the end of time and space.

Further ahead is the boundless primordial chaos and dark abyss, where there are forbidden knowledge and infinite inspiration...

It is the source of all mystery and unknowability...

The ancestor of magic, the source of mystery...

However, just as the girl was about to approach the end of the abyss and glimpse the source of the unknown, a hand gently held her, causing her to break out of her trance with a jolt, and her mind instantly returned to reality. Ruby-like pupils are reflected in the field of vision.

"Su...Miss Charlotte."

Miss Medea felt like a bad child who had done something bad and was caught on the spot, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She greeted her very coyly, and at the same time hurriedly defended herself.

"I... I... I didn't sneak in here to do something, ah, no, I mean, I didn't sneak in, I just, just..."

Yue Mo was a little flustered for a while, so she became more and more confused as she talked.

Calmly looking at the very familiar Miss Medea, the doll maid sighed slightly in her heart, but her face did not show it at all, but she was still calm, her expression remained unchanged, and her voice was also unchanged. Said without hesitation:
"I know, Miss Medea, of course you can come in here, and the Master didn't say anything to restrict you, so you don't have to worry so much..."

"Ah, this, this..."

The girl as pure as a lily immediately breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid she couldn't explain clearly.

"Let's get out of here first, let's go out and talk about it." Looking around, his eyes swept over the books with ridiculous names, but without exception, which contained amazing magic power, and stopped briefly one by one. The puppet girl said, He pulled Miss Medea and went outside.

"Ah, oh oh..."

Miss Medea froze for a moment, and was dragged away before she could react, she could only nod in confusion.

But she is not too dull, mainly because she is too innocent at the age of 14 and does not have much life experience, so naturally she cannot react so quickly.But after realizing the problem, the girl suddenly understood.

"Then, are those books dangerous, Miss Charlotte?"

"It can't be said to be dangerous, at least for people approved by the Master, they still have a sense of proportion." The doll maid replied calmly, "But sometimes, even if they don't take the initiative to do something , can't change their essence...

"The phantom of knowledge is but the morning mist. The mystery of creation is like the darkness of night."

She turned her head, stared at Princess Colchis, and said seriously: "Miss Medea, you should now learn the magic knowledge taught by the Master step by step, instead of looking for its mysterious essence. They are very important to you now. It’s still too early.”

"Ah, this..."

Miss Medea was a little ignorant, and she didn't know whether she understood it or not. She was very embarrassed to defend herself——

"I didn't think so, I... I just wanted to come in and look for it. I saw that there are some "simple" and "basic" things here, so I wanted to take a look. Who knew it was this level. yes..."

The girl was somewhat unconvinced, it was obviously not her fault, nor was she so ambitious.

She obviously just wanted to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, to complete the basic part of knowledge that she might have missed. Who would have thought that those things would be sold as dog meat, with such a confusing prefix label, in fact, what was recorded were some taboos field content.

"It's because you don't know enough about the Master. This is what he is best at..."

Glancing faintly at the little girl behind her, Charlotte said calmly.

If it was Miss Medea in the past, how could she make such a mistake, as long as she saw the beginning, she should understand what it was.I just don't know how long it will take for this girl to regain her previous memories.

But then again, if it wasn't for her determination, the Master might not have taken any action.

"The best thing to do?"

The 14-year-old girl didn't know what the current head maid was thinking, she just tilted her head in confusion and made an innocent guess.

"Does that mean that knowledge is the teacher's favorite skill?"

"That's not true. For the Master, the things you see can only be regarded as basic and simple levels. What you are good at means... Well, you will always know later." The head maid pondered for a moment, and decided to Do not explain.

"Miss Medea, what kind of books are you looking for, just tell me."

After leaving the "Forbidden Book Area" and out of the influence range of those unimaginably powerful grimoires, Charlotte stopped and asked.

"Master asked me to help you find it."

"Hey! Teacher, does the teacher know? He's back?" The expression of the 14-year-old girl was a little stiff.

Charlotte replied sternly: "No, the Master still has some things to deal with, but he does know."

"What's the matter, it seems like the teacher hasn't seen anyone much these two days." Miss Medea breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously at the same time.

"Hmm..." Charlotte thought for a while, then took another deep look at her, "The day before yesterday, a group of sailors from Thessaly landed on Colchis Island..."

Argonauts...

——I came to Colchis in search of the Golden Fleece.

That was the beginning of a series of tragedies, and it was also the origin of Zeus' twelve-constellation defense system... Of course, the latter is not important, so someone doesn't care what his actions on this unique timeline will cause the established cause and effect Influence.

……

……

In the palace of Colchis, a grand banquet was being held. People who didn't know it thought it was a big day, a celebration or something was being held.

Princes, nobles and heroes from foreign lands feasted together, feasting and feasting, enjoying themselves and enjoying themselves, bragging each other, and commercial bragging are all normal operations that emerge endlessly——

For example, the heroes of the Argonauts kept complimenting the prosperity of the Colchis Kingdom, but on the contrary, they were praised for their "bravery" and praised them. Fifty of them dared to sail alone and sailed to this isolated island feat.

Generally speaking, the atmosphere seems to be very harmonious.

As the captain of the Argonaut, Jason drank a few more glasses of fine wine from the Age of Gods, and his head became a little dizzy for a while, but more often than not, his heart fell to the ground.After all, unlike the others on board, capturing the Golden Fleece was his main task.

Looking at the current situation, it seems that everything is stable. The king of Colchis heard about their request the day before yesterday, and today he warmly entertained them.

With such an attitude, he should have made a decision to give up the golden fleece to himself!

Really, how could such a hospitable country be rumored to be so outrageously vicious?I'm afraid that none of those who were looking for the golden fleece could reach this blissful island, and they all died on the way.

So spreading rumors, instead demonizing the location of the Golden Fleece?

"Your Majesty the King, regarding our previous incident, have you made a decision now?"

Thinking of this, Jason gulped down another glass of fine wine, then boldly stood up and said to Aeetes with the help of the wine.

Displeasure flashed in the king's eyes. He really couldn't like this group of foreigners who came from afar and wanted to take away his national treasure as soon as they met. The day before yesterday, he wanted to get angry on the spot and make things difficult Check them out.

——If it wasn't for that sage who had anticipated and arranged for this matter.

Aeetes hid his emotions very well, raised the wine vessel and drank it in one gulp, and then laughed loudly:

"Young man, I admire your honesty and I am willing to help you, but in the final analysis, you should also know that the Golden Fleece is a national treasure of our country and cannot be easily spread. Even if I agree, the citizens will not agree ..."

"However, our Colchis is a country that inherits the glory of the ancient demigod heroes, so if you really want to get this treasure, then you just need to do... well, do twelve things to prove it Your bravery and wisdom are enough, presumably our citizens will not have any objections at that time."

Jason, who was a little drunk, thought about it, and felt that it seemed to be such a reason. He looked back at the heroes of the Argonaut behind him, and felt confident again, so he turned back and said boldly:
"Tell me, for revenge and my oath, I will do whatever I want!"

Aeetes nodded in satisfaction, and laughed again——

"Very good, very imposing...then I'll say it."

"First thing first, I have two sacred cows, ah, no, I mean I have two golem puppets, which were a gift from a sage living in the depths of Colchis Island, they The model is called "Emperor Geta"..."
