The Warrior of Love

After seeing the two siblings off, the man looked at the empty house and was silent for a moment, but he quickly got rid of the inexplicable emotion lingering in his heart and quickly regained his calm and wisdom.

[Sorry, it seems to be my fault...]

Hercules was apologizing for his unnecessary emotional impulse, but Jiang Liu didn't care. Instead, he felt that heroes with emotions were more approachable.

In particular, Hercules and he had a certain affinity in a certain sense.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

He muttered to himself, and the pupils under the boar skin gradually became silent. The golden glow disappeared, and was replaced by the eyes that originally belonged to Hercules.

The great hero walked out of the wooden house, crossed the forest at the speed of the wind, came to the beach and looked at the sea.

I saw that on the sea about a thousand meters away, an imposing large ship was being entangled by several tentacles tens of meters long!

Chapter 1067: Ancient Greek Enemies

"Ah tang tang tang!"

On the sturdy warship in ancient Greek style, a blond man holding a sword in one hand was frantically beating at his burning clothes.

"Be careful, Medea! You hurt me by mistake!"

"I'm sorry, but Lord Jason is also at fault. It's your fault for not dodging."

The person who spoke was a girl with long, mysterious purple hair, pointed ears, and a face as beautiful as an elf. Her slender figure made her look only fifteen or sixteen years old. The luxurious lavender robe made her look noble and elegant.

The purple-haired girl, called "Medea" by the blond man, waved her staff and released various magic tricks to fight the sea monster, while communicating with the man calmly with an innocent and cute smile.

Compared to her who seemed to be here for fun, the blond man looked much more embarrassed. Using a sword as a weapon, he had to fight the sea monster in close combat, which made his whole body covered with smelly blood and mucus...

But if you look closely, you will find that although he seems panicked and in a mess, he is surprisingly agile and his swordsmanship is extremely superb. Even when facing a huge alien monster like a sea monster, he can effectively cause damage to it.

"Ahhh, it hit me again!"

The clear water soaked Jason from head to toe, his bright golden hair sticking listlessly to his skin, and his entire body became wet.

"Did you do this on purpose, you vicious woman? You must have done it on purpose!"

"How could that be? I am just trying to help Lord Jason clean the dirt off his body."

The purple-haired girl Medea narrowed her eyes and smiled: "If it was intentional, then at least use fierce fire, why use gentle water?"

"You have used fire before!" Jason shouted at her.

"Enough!"

At this time, the third person on the boat finally couldn't stand it anymore: "We can have a quarrel when we have time. Now, kill this monster for me!"

"This isn't a couple's quarrel!"

"I am no longer obsessed with a weakling like Jason."

The blond man and the purple-haired girl retorted at the same time, and the man was suddenly speechless.

It is worth mentioning that there were only three passengers on the ship, but both Jason and Medea were entangled by the sea monster, but this person did not suffer any form of attack, as if he was ignored by the sea monster.

"Forget it, do whatever you want. I don't care." The man complained angrily, then found a place to sit down, actually intending to just stand by and watch.

"Cassandra!" Jason screamed. "You are so arrogant..."

If you two had focused your energy on fighting instead of hurting each other, we could have left here a long time ago - this thought flashed through Cassandra's mind, but her tone changed.

“Isn’t that great? Since you hate each other, why don’t you die here together and put your tombstones together… No, let’s become neighbors after returning to the Throne of Heroes. That way, you’ll have something to do every day.

A combination of a weakling and a scheming woman? To be honest, you two are really a perfect match. Would you consider getting back together? "

"Do you want to be beaten? You definitely want to be beaten! Although Medea is indeed very evil, I am not a weakling. I am Ia - ah, that was a close call!"

"That's right, being with this kind of person... isn't it enough to make a similar mistake once?"

This is what they call enemies - Cassandra sighed softly.

This slightly sharp-tongued girl, judging from her appearance, is about the same age as Medea, both are girls of fifteen or sixteen, but her physical development... is more mature. The difference between her and teenage Medea is like the difference between Nero and Aho-ge.

She was wearing a white hooded robe similar to a priest's attire. Even though it was loose in design, it couldn't hide the charming curves of her petite body.

Her appearance is even more delicate and lovely, with long aqua blue hair that matches the sea perfectly, and beautiful lavender eyes.

When she closed her mouth, she was very attractive to the opposite sex, but as soon as she opened her mouth, even a broad-minded person like Jason would be unable to resist the urge to use violence against her.

But what she said did make sense, that is, Jason and Medea are both strong. If the two of them work together, it should not be difficult to defeat the sea monster while complementing each other's abilities. After all, this sea monster is not very strong and is still inferior to the famous Kraken and Scylla.

"what!"

Jason was not careful and got entangled around the waist by the thick tentacle. Before he could cut it off, another thinner tentacle tied his wrists.

The sea monster suddenly retracted its tentacles and pulled the prince up backwards in one breath.

Jason looked down in panic and saw a big mouth slowly opening. The sharp teeth were arranged in a disorderly manner like the abyss of swords, which made his scalp tingle.

If you fall in, even the body of a Servant will be chewed to pieces, right?

Damn it! This sea area is too dangerous. Why are there monsters everywhere? Even the Aegean Sea in the Age of Gods is not so dangerous.

After all, he had led many heroes through more dangerous hurdles than this sea monster and completed great adventures. But today, was he going to capsize in the face of such an insignificant difficulty?

Damn it! At that time, I was surrounded by brave and fearless heroes, but now I only have an ex-girlfriend who I hate and a lazy literary girl.

Alas, it’s a pity that my admiral Hercules is not here, otherwise why would I be afraid of a mere sea monster?

Just when Jason was about to explode and escape from the sea monster's mouth, a roar like a cannonball suddenly came from a distance.

bang——

In a short moment, an extremely fast object passed through the sea surface for hundreds of meters, cutting through the waves like a sharp sword, and at the same time, it hit the sea monster with unstoppable force and passed through its huge body like a meteor.

Zheng!

Before Jason and the other two could react, they heard the sound of swords following the roar. The vibration of the swords cutting through the air seemed so melodious at this moment, like the sound of a bard's harp.

wow...

The sea monster's movements stiffened for a moment, and then it split apart, with its entire body turning into many pieces. Jason also lost his support and fell onto the deck.

The smelly blood splattered all over the blond young man, but he had no time to clean it up. He quickly looked at the man who saved him. Before he could say the words of thanks, his body suddenly shook.

"Hercules... Is that Hercules? Oh, my dear Hercules——"

Just like a man who had been hungry for ten days seeing a chicken leg, Jason rushed up with shining eyes and opened his arms to hug Hercules.

The man in the boar skin raised his head, a faint golden light flashed in his eyes. Seeing the smelly Jason running towards him, he frowned and raised his hand subconsciously.

"Oh!"

"oops!"

With one punch, Jason was thrown flying without any defense.

Chapter 1068: The Princess of Troy

"Oh, Hercules, oh Hercules, what have I done to deserve such disrespect from you."

Holding his swollen cheeks, Jason, who had been "cleansed" by Medea's magic, sat on the deck and spoke to the big man with a slightly confused expression.

"As close friends and junior fellow apprentices, isn't it natural for us to give each other a warm hug when we meet again after a long absence?"

"Uh..." Hercules was speechless. After all, he was not the one who hit anyone, but he couldn't explain this, so he had to remain silent.

Fortunately, he was not a talkative person during his lifetime. When traveling with Jason and others, he often stayed away from people and behaved in a solitary manner, so he should not arouse suspicion.

"As expected, you're silent? You're still the same... But then again, you're Hercules, you don't need to explain your actions to anyone, my brother."

As expected, Jason did not continue to dwell on this. He immediately forgot the pain in his body and frankly expressed his joy at meeting Hercules.

"Ah, it is fate's guidance that has destined us to go on adventures together again and compose heroic poems in this strange world once again!"

"You are the same as always, Jason." Hercules said in a muffled voice with a hint of relaxed smile, but just like before, he only uttered short and powerful words and did not give long speeches.

Jason seemed to be used to it and didn't feel anything unnatural.

Although Hercules' appearance this time was a little strange, Jason recognized him at first sight and had no doubt about it.

This is not judged by appearance or breath, but a bond beyond the senses.

In this world, people who know the name of Hercules can be said to be everywhere, and there are also many brave men who have adventured with him, but there are very few people who truly understand him and can be called close friends.

Jason is one of the "very few". If we exclude those who had physical relationships, then Jason may be the only one.

Yes, although this was not news in ancient Greece, Jason still wanted to solemnly declare:

He and Hercules were only spiritually intimate, without any physical communication!

There's nothing we can do about it, since his senior brother and close friend doesn't care about whether he eats meat or vegetables...

(Note: Uncle B is open to both men and women, but he is different from Hanma Yujiro who believes that “everyone except me is female”. Judging from his deeds, this Greek macho man must have a “female side” in his heart…)

"That's great. I was originally thinking that since I've been summoned, as a heroic spirit of pan-human history, I must do something.

But the people around me are either useless clergymen or this vicious woman who wants to feed me to sea monsters. I am of no use at all!

But since you're here too, Hercules, there's no need to worry. Together we'll be invincible, ahahaha..."

Hercules turned his gaze towards the other two, a gleam in his eyes, and it was obvious that Jiang Liu was also examining these crew members at this time.

Needless to say, Jason and Medea were both known to Jiang Liu and Hercules. They were heroes from Greek mythology.

One is the protagonist of the famous "Golden Fleece Expedition" and the navigator of the heroic ship Argo.

The other is the princess of Colchis, a "wicked woman" who is quite famous all over the world, but in fact she is just a poor person who was teased by gods and fate.

Hercules was also deeply tortured by fate, so he did not have much resentment towards Medea. Instead, he felt some sympathy for her. However, Medea might be somewhat hostile to him... After all, the two men that Medea hated most in her life: Jason and Theseus, both had deep connections with Hercules.

Of course, that is a matter of "later". This Medea was her teenage self, a witch princess with superb magic skills, and she did not yet have the decisive and vicious style of behavior that she later had.

However, it seems that she also knows what will happen to her in the future, so she is quite disgusted with Jason, but she did not take direct action because they are in the same camp.

But the last person on the Argo, Cassandra, who was wearing a priest's robe and had a figure comparable to Nero's, completely crushed the young Medea in this field...

The girl was a stranger to Hercules.

"Dear Hercules, son of Zeus, god of strength, and greatest hero of the Greek city-states, my name is "Cassandra", and I am honored to fight alongside you."

After saying this, Cassandra closed her mouth tightly, fearing that she would say anything more vicious.

Even though she didn't mean it, her words always hurt others... This was due to the curse she carried.

Because she rejected the sexual advances of Apollo, the god of prophecy, Apollo gave her the ability to predict the future, but also cursed her with the curse of "not being trusted by others", becoming a prophet who can see everything but cannot change anything.

As a princess of Troy, she tried countless times to save her family and homeland. But... so Apollo's revenge was extremely effective.

After becoming a Servant, this curse was transformed into a special inherent skill——

【Innocent Monster o Pseudo A】

A distorted reputation and image will affect others’ evaluation of you.

Difficulty gaining trust from others.

· Saying one thing and thinking another, and occasionally expressing one's own thoughts in offensive language.

The first two effects are fine, and people who understand the mythological heritage probably won't be affected, but her inconsistency makes Cassandra become full of "offensiveness".

"Cassandra? It's you..."

Hercules nodded and said nothing more.

Although both are Greek servants, he and Cassandra have little friendship because they are in different eras. Cassandra is an eyewitness of the famous "Trojan War" and a family member of Paris and Hector.

Hercules actually had a "little" conflict with her country.

It's nothing, just that someone once led an army to capture the capital of Troy...

It’s just that there are too many battles and this legend overlaps with the later Trojan War, so it is not well known.

"Well, even though she's a sharp-tongued woman, Apollo's ability to predict the future is still quite useful. Otherwise, we wouldn't be heading in this direction, let alone meeting you!"

Jason expressed his optimism about Cassandra, but it was obvious that he was also quite critical of the blue-haired girl's sharp tongue.

Hercules didn't care about this: "Since you have been summoned to this Lostbelt, do you know your mission?"

"A lot of knowledge has been poured into my head this time. I know what to do in general, but specifically...what about you? Do you have any information you can share?"

"Yes, yes. A lot."
