The Wrong Jason Singularity

Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Women of Lemnos

    Upon taking a step on the island of Lemnos, Jason and the others were instantly surrounded by the residents of people living on the island.

All around them, Jason notices that the people who welcomed them with weapons on their arms are all women.

' Is this like an Amazon situation? '

The group of women then parted and gave way to 3 people. One of the women was walking forward, and in the center of the other two women was only a girl. A young teenager who has an emotionless and calm face. On her left and right sides are two women dressed, covering their bodies in white robes.

Finally, a little distance away from Jason and the members of his crew, who had also brought their weapons forward and prepared to defend themselves, the girl then opened her mouth and started speaking.

" I am Hypsipyle, Queen of Lemnos. It seems that Iphinoe and Polyxo are right concerning their intruders arriving on our island. "

After saying those words, she glances at Jason with doubt on her face.

Bringing down the staff to the ground, Jason tried to look as harmless and placating as possible and replied to her.

" We assure you, Queen Hypsipyle, that we bore no ill will towards you and the people living here on the island of Lemnos. "

Still donning a calm and emotionless face, Hypsipyle replied.

" I see that they were right that the captain of the intruders is a mere child who wasn't still in the beginning process of growing into adulthood... "

Trailing off, her emotionless eyes gaze at Jason with coldness.

" You have said that you and you're companions bore no ill will towards us, but your mere presence on this island is a blatant symbol of malice favored by Aphrodite! "

Not waiting for Jason to respond, Hypsipyle suddenly stepped forward and thrust her spear toward the direction of  Jason's heart. Stepping forward, Pollux parried the spear from piercing Jason's heart and sending the spear flying a few distance away from Hypsipyle.

The women of Lemnos, who had their weapons out and ready to kill the intruders, then heard Pollux's voice.

" Halt. "

She says as she has her sword pointed towards Hypsipyle's neck. The two heralds at her side were also being held at swordpoint by the other intruders on the island.

Jason, who was behind Pollux, then let out a sigh. Beside him, he could hear Castor clicking his tongue in distaste as he helped him get up from the ground.

" Thanks Pollux, Castor. "

" Get up from there yourself, how could you just let a mere human attack you? "

Hearing those words, Jason chuckled.

Jason was uncertain if the dwellers of the Island of Lemnos would be hostile or not towards them. Since he was uncertain, Jason decided to prepare for the worst.

Jason, together with the members of Euda, started to think of a plan.

If possible, the ideal would be to resolve the matters peacefully with the islanders of Lemnos. Just stocking up their supplies and leaving the island with none would be dying on the islanders and on their side.

But if the people of Lemnos started treating them with hostility, Jason would like to alleviate their hostility. If it didn't work and the Lemnians started attacking, then they would defend themselves restrain the enemies, and force them to submit within their conditions.

Getting up from the ground as Jason stared at the Castor, he replied to the young future servant. Just like him, some members of the ship are younger,  and probably not as powerful as the argonauts in legends since Jason has made the decision to take the voyage too early.

After getting up and patting some of the dust on his clothes, Jason replied.

" I'm a mere human too. "

" Hmph.. You're the grandson of Hermes. Are you not? "

For the past few days of Jason's observation, Castor was still as protective of his little sister as ever. And he also took pride in himself being a demigod and being part of the bloodline of Zeus.

Is the circumstances different for the servants that he has known in his past life in this world? Did this Castor possess the blood of Zeus, or was he a human believing himself to possess the blood of a God?

" Compare to demigods I am just a mere human. "

" Indeed. You are a mere human compared to us. The only reason I went on this journey was because Pollux was interested, and you are a fellow student under the tutelage of Chiron. Although you are unexpectedly a good cook despite being young. "

Walking towards Pollux who was trapping the still and stiff Hypsipyle at a sword point, Jason smiled.

" If you don't want to lose your Queen and 2 Oracles, please drop your weapons. "

Glaring at Jason, Hypsipyle shouted.

" Don't listen to him.. "

After Hypsipyle said those words, she could feel the sword of Pollux getting closer to her neck so intimately.
Hypsipyle froze, and she could feel her body being dose in fear.

One by one the people of Lemnos dropped their weapons.

" Good! Now then, at first we have come with peaceful intentions and merely wanted to trade some things for possible supplies. But because I am in favor of Aphrodite, you all decided to treat all of us with hostility and killing intent. At first, despite being favored by the Goddess Aphrodite herself I am sympathetic to your situation. I heard from my companions that you have been cursed by the Goddess herself despite you all just living your life peacefully here on the island... All of the women that lived in Lemnos are cursed to have an unbearable smell coming from their bodies... "

To the surprise of the people of Lemnos, they see Jason taking out a jug made of clay out of nowhere.

" the contents of this jug are a drink that allows us to protect ourselves from the effect of the curse of Goddess Aphrodite herself. This is something that was made by one of the members of Euda, Asclepius. Surely, you are familiar with him, right? "

As the people of Lemnos listen to Jason, talk, some of them nod their heads. They were familiar with the famous child of Apollo.

" It was disheartening to hear that you have all been cursed, and I asked Asclepius if he could possibly cure all of you from the curse effects left by Great Goddess Aphrodite, but with the way that you have welcomed us, it seems that you don't want us here to the island at all... I promised earlier that we bore no ill will and only come in peace. Since you don't want us here and we don't want to harm anyone, we should leave now. "

Raising one of his hands, the members of the crew started going back inside the Euda. With only the exception of Castor, Pollux, Heracles, and Caeneus.

" Don't worry, we will let your Queen and Heralds go once we have left your island while ensuring our safety. "

Turning his back, Jason started walking back to the ship. As he started walking, he suddenly heard the voice of the Queen, the heralds, and the people of Lemnos.

"" Please wait! ""

With his back turned to the people of Lemnos and Arestor, Aristaeus, who was watching from the ship, a smile formed on Jason's face.

' Hook, line, and sinker. '

Even though he was just a little child, the crew who watched all these events that transpired thought that their little captain was devious and cunning.

There were some other qualities in their captain other than being a good cook and a magician at a young age.

Truly deserving of someone who possesses the bloodline of Hermes.
