The fountain formed by the boiling hot water shattered the Argo's crew, and the demigods did have a strong body that ordinary people could not match, but the demigods had the same body structure as ordinary people, but they did not have the meat wings to fly. The hot spring water burned the skin of the demigods, making them painful, but what was even more deadly was that the impact of the spring water on the flesh was enough to break the muscles and bones, and the demigods under the severe pain could bear the impact of falling from a high altitude, and I am afraid that ordinary gods would also die. The triple attack of the climate, geology, and beasts caused the demigods of the Argo to be seriously or slightly wounded as they stepped out of the unbelievable position of Akarin, not to mention the animal skin gowns that had been specially changed into for the occasion of the king's visit, which were now in tatters under the double destruction of the beasts and the springs.

Stumbling forward, the remaining crew of the Argo used their willpower to drag their bruised bodies towards the capital of the Kingdom of Colchis. Until they could see with the naked eye the yawning of the mentally ill soldiers near the gates of Colchis, the crew of the Argo collapsed to the ground in a moment of relaxation, lying on the ground like dried corpses with their muscles drained of their bodies, gasping helplessly against the gray sky.

After a short rest, the Argo crew worked on the injuries sustained during the previous battle and on the way. Thanks to the demigods' innate strong body and the increased recovery speed brought by the blessings of the gods, the crew of the Argo will not suffer from fatal conditions such as wound infections even if they are seriously injured. Observing the crew's condition in front of everyone, Iason's eyes were full of anxiety about the future.

"The situation of the crew of the Argo is very bad right now, and if we were in our heyday, I am afraid that it would be no problem to go directly to the city and negotiate with King Colchis. But now that we are disheveled, and many of our weapons have been lost in previous accidents, we want King Colchis to recognize our status and let me wait to get the Golden Fleece... Most of the time there is no such possibility! ”

In the expectation of Iasong and even the gods, Iasong and his party should have taken all the main forces to the royal city of Colchis, showing the strength that made Aetes, the king of Colchis, have to worry about the consequences of turning his face. After Aetes offered to obtain the Golden Fleece, he secretly supported Iason to capture the heart of Medea, the most skilled magician in the palace, so that Iason could overcome the trial. In this way, even if the Golden Fleece was still violently taken by the heroes of the Argonauts, the reason for completing the prescribed trial to take the Golden Fleece would not cause the displeasure of Hekate, the god of magic.

"But we have to go and meet King Colchis, or the gods of Olympus will not spare us who disobey the gods. As for the shabby clothes and wounds, I think that Colchis is a bustling city even though it is in the remote area of Olympus. Spending some gold and silver in the city for new clothes and weapons will at least make us not look embarrassed when we meet King Colchis! ”

Gradually waking up from the panic and fear of the attack, without Athena's protection, Iason still showed the qualities of a captain of the Argo. The Argo crew came for the Golden Fleece, and many of the kings of the countries they passed through learned of the Argo's mission from priests and oracles, and offered gold and silver to the Argo in order to obtain the protection of the gods. Considering the need for money to buy necessities, Yi Asong and his party carried with them goods that ordinary people could not earn in their lifetime. The purchase of a few weapons and the costumes that would not be rude in conversation with the king were not beyond the reach of the crew.

Having made up their minds, the crew of the Argo, urged by Iason, to pick up their remaining weapons and walk towards the entrance to Colchis. Expecting to be interrogated by the soldiers at the entrance, Iason was about to bribe the guards with money, and unexpectedly found that the soldiers seemed to know about the arrival of himself and others, and even let Iason and others enter the city without even asking about the origin of everyone.

"Strange ... Unknown people like us should be interrogated for a long time in any well-guarded city-state, and it is almost impossible to enter without bribery. Why would the kingdom of Colchis allow us to enter the city with weapons and obviously different from thin mortals... ”

Realizing that Colchis's reaction was far from what he had expected, Iason, who had been struck by sea monsters, jellyfish, wild beasts, fountains, earthquakes, and other factors, instinctively lifted his mind to look at the vicinity of the avenue where everyone was walking. Considering the lives of the people in the capital, generally speaking, even if the king arranged an assassination of the Argonauts' crew, he would not directly start the war in the area of the city where the number of people gathered the most. However, from the expressions of the human beings living in the capital, it is still possible to judge the state's treatment of outsiders through the lives of ordinary people. It's just that the observation of the civilians of the Kingdom of Colchis makes Iasong feel strange.

"The city is supposed to be welcoming foreign guests... But the attitude of civilians towards us does not seem to be welcoming ... Could it be that before we arrived in the kingdom of Colchis, there were envoys from other countries here? ”

It wasn't long before the Argo's crew stepped onto the main road leading to the palace of Colchis that the soldiers on both sides of the street, who clearly did not conform to the Colchis style, answered Iason's doubts. The full-coverage armor made of gold and iron is refined and vicious, and the cross-handled spear made of stainless steel still exudes a chill even when it is wrapped in a cowhide holster. With such a well-equipped armament that even surpasses the technological development of the Olympian gods, it is by no means something that the remote kingdom of Colchis can build, and the danger of meeting King Colchis has increased a little more in Iason's heart.

However, at this time, there was no need for Iason to hesitate to meet King Colchis, and some of the Argo's crew were still near the coast, and even if they had the blessings of the gods, they might not be able to avoid being spotted by the soldiers patrolling the shore. A series of accidents during the proximity to the kingdom of Colchis made Iazon, who had always been protected by the gods, doubt the protection promised by the gods. If King Colchis can negotiate with him as soon as possible to complete the task of obtaining the Golden Fleece, then the chances of the Argo's injured crew and the Argo itself being found are even less likely.

After showing the guards in front of the palace of Colchis the tokens given by the gods and informing the guards of their intentions, the guards at the gate nodded to each other and turned around to signal to the crew of the Argo that only one messenger was allowed to enter. Iason shook his head at the demigods who were trying to convince the guards to the left and right, and then guided the soldiers into the depths of the palace of Colchis.

'O god of Olympus and my patron goddess, Hera, please bless me on this glorious journey across the seas, and let the glory of Olympus shine in this gray age... ’

Silently reciting the names of each of the main gods of Olympus, and feeling that there were gods guarding the sky above, Iason summoned up the last remaining courage in his heart, followed the instructions of the soldiers and walked into the palace, looking directly at the immortal king of the kingdom of Colchis, Aetes.
