Chapter 236:
After reading this, Jason woke up again.
They realized that this trip was not as difficult as they thought.
Because in the face of such a small person, for Kronos, who is the God King of Titans, he didn't even bother to think of making things difficult.
At the same time, however, it is also not easy.
Because of the same reason, for Jason who is so insignificant in Cronus' eyes, under normal circumstances, he probably doesn't even have the possibility of listening to Jason's words and looking at Jason.
"A tribute as fun as Go...this one is good!"
Hearing the words of Cronus, Tartaros' eyes lit up, looked at Jason and said, "Can you take it out, kid? ... It's okay if you can't take it out, I can let him For the time being, suppress this power in you.
Set a time when you're ready to come here to offer him your tribute. "
Tartarus felt that the last time Jason was able to come up with a Go, it was already very impressive, and it was impossible to come up with a second tribute that was as interesting as Go in a short period of time.
Kronos thought so too, just when he was thinking about how many years should be given to this insignificant existence.
"A tribute as interesting as Go..."
Jason whispered a little, his eyes lit up slightly, and then said to Tartarus: "No need for Lord Tartarus, I have already thought of the tribute!"
"......So fast?"
Tartarus looked at Jason in a daze, and said, "Are you sure?
If you dare to make up your mind, I won't admit it, if you don't mention Kronos! "
With that said, Tartaros' expression became serious.
Apparently, he really likes Go...albeit badly.
"I can't say which of the two is better, but if it's interesting, then it's definitely an interesting tribute!"
Jason spoke to Tartarus confidently.
He looked confident, not like Jason who was talking big.
In addition to being surprised, Tartarus naturally became curious.
Even Kronos became curious.
Not long after that, Tartarus, according to Jason's request, manifested what Jason needed in this abyss.
Soon, Tartaros and Cronos looked at the things that Jason visited on the stone platform. After looking at it for a while, Tartaros couldn't help but look at Jason and said: "Boy, what is this?"
"Chess."
Jason didn't sell the chess piece, pointed to the chessboard that had been placed, and said with a smile to Tartarus: "This thing is called chess, and there are thirty-two pieces, half red and black, each holding one.
The rules are also simple.
The red side has two commanders, two ministers, two cannons, two cannons, and five soldiers.
Black will have two commanders, two elephants, two chariots, two horses, and two cannons, and five pawns.
During the game, the two sides take turns playing chess, and the opponent's general (handsome) wins by "checking death" or "sleeping death"! "
After speaking, Jason bowed respectfully to Kronos and sat down opposite Kronos.
While explaining the specific rules, he confronted Kronos.
From a simple actual battle, the two were told the specific gameplay.
Not long after, after Jason solved the battle with simple pressing, jumping, and handsome blocking, the eyes of Cronus and Tartarus lighted up slightly, obviously they had fully understood this. The game of chess.
After all, in itself, it's simple.
You only need to watch two discs on the side, and you will be able to learn without a teacher.
But although it is simple, it is also a well-deserved cultural treasure, so how can it be really simple.
When Kronos and Tartaros understood the gameplay, they saw Kronos' brow suddenly furrowed fiercely.
Look at the chessboard in front of you.
After a long time, his expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he said solemnly: "Little guy, help me set up this chessboard!"
Jason was stunned, then got up and put all the pieces in place.
Immediately after seeing Kronos looking at the chessboard, he watched it silently for a long time.
After finally standing up, he took a step with black, and then took a step with red, as if he was playing a game with someone.
Every step he took, he stopped and thought for a long time.
As if remembering something.
Later, every time the black took a step, the red took a few steps.
When the black pieces are eaten, only one handsome, one soldier, one image, and two pawns are left.
Looking at the red-filled chessboard on the opposite side and the chess pieces captured by the red side, Kronos' expression was extremely complicated.
After a long sigh, he said, "Hey, it's not wrong to lose..."
Jason looked at Cronus like this, and couldn't help but look at Tartarus in confusion.
And Tartaros looked at the final situation of the chess game, with a thoughtful expression on his face, nodded and said: "It is true that you lost the wrong.
After all, even the most loyal taxi to you has been eaten by the other party.
Cronus, you were completely checkmate by Metis. "
Metis?
Jason blinked.
The name sounded familiar to him.
Soon Jason reacted, this is Athena's mother, the first generation goddess of wisdom Metis!
Wait, so the board in front of you is...
Jason looked at the game where the red side had not lost a pawn, and was looking at the black game on Kronos' side.
After understanding the meaning of this chessboard arrangement, I couldn't help but feel a little astonished in my heart!
Obviously, this chess game is the result of the war between Zeus and Cronus!
What Cronus recounted just now is everything about his war with Zeus in ancient times!
"When Zeus listened to Metis's strategy and rescued his brothers and sisters, it was only a formal chess game.
But soon, she let Zeus disintegrate the power around you little by little, and took away one **** after another from you.
And when you finally react, there is only one soldier by your side, one side and two soldiers..."
Tartarus said, pressing one shot and one shot in front of Black's general.
Checkmate!
At this moment, through this chessboard, Kronos seemed to see that he was firmly grasped by the hundred arms of the hundred-armed giant, incompetent and furious.
Cursing Zeus, and angrily scolding those Titans who betrayed themselves...
"......brat"
After a long time, Kronos made a sound, looked at Jason, and said, "This tribute... I accept it!"
Chapter 238 Teacher Hecate is so fragrant
Just as Kronos finished speaking, Jason only felt his whole body loose.
That troubled him for a long time, the pain in his heart has been resolved.
Jason's expression relaxed, and he quickly got up and saluted Kronos with the highest gratitude.
"No need for that, this is your agreement with me..."
Speaking of this, Kronos paused for a while, looked at the chessboard in front of him, and said to Jason with a serious expression: "And that alone will never cancel the tribute you made to me, so tell me your wish.
I, Kronos, the God King of the Titans, promised to give you a gift! "
Hearing this, Jason was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said to Cronus: "This should not be said like this, you must know that I am a student of Hecate, Lord Cronus, you are willing to help me, It's already a great gift!"
After speaking, Jason saluted Cronus again to express his gratitude.
This is true, and the gratitude is true.
Because that...it really hurts.
Even if he came all the way, Jason didn't care about good things.
But the pain that lasted for at least a hundred years... and not a masochist, how could Jason really not care.
Seeing Jason like this, Kronos couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Because the gods hold the divine authority, they can distinguish the truth from the false.
Unless it is said by Hermes, the messenger of the gods, who is also the **** of deceit.
"...So it is, no wonder that even with such a weak possibility, Hecate and Nyx still want you to come to the abyss."
Cronos looked at Jason in white, and couldn't help sighing: "They have a good student.
It's just a pity that you are not a god..."
"So many of us are watching, this child can't become a god?" Tartarus interrupted the conversation and said to Cronus: "I'm afraid you don't know, this time because of this child, the entire underworld almost turned upside down. .
Your child, now the kings of the underworld, Hades and Nyx, went straight to Olympus, which almost made the guy Zeus almost out of the stage! "
Hearing the names of his children, Hades and Zeus, Kronos' expression couldn't help but look gloomy.
Then, looking at Jason in front of him, he nodded and said, "That's true. It would be strange if he couldn't become a god. By the way, I don't know..."
"It's alright, alright, don't ask questions. It has nothing to do with you. Even if you want to worry about it, it's definitely not for you to worry about it."
Tartarus interrupted Cronus and said, "I ask you, you accepted Jason's tribute and were satisfied with it, right?"
"That's right." Kronos nodded steadily: "Relying on it, I finally fully see how I failed back then..."
"What is failure, this is simply a one-sided fiasco!"
Tartaros pointed at the game, the red side didn't lose a piece, but the black side only had the number of pieces left, and said: "In this situation, it's not me who said, even if you are really released, you will only be beaten back. share.
Right, boy! "
Jason bowed his head and said nothing.
Is this topic something he can get involved in?
Cronos frowned, looking at Tartarus in front of him, and being pointed out so mercilessly, he was naturally angry too.
But this gas comes and goes quickly.
After all, it has been thousands of years, thousands of years.
"I'm very pleased with this tribute...and this kid did, it's a tribute no less than that given to you."
Kronos brought the subject back.
"If that's the case, then bring out the present for this child."
Tartarus stroked his white beard and said with a smile.
"Gift?" Kronos looked at Tartarus suspiciously.
"These are the rules of the game set by that child of Athena.
When this kid presents us with a tribute, and if we are satisfied with his contribution, then we will give the kid a corresponding gift in return.
By the way, I gave this child three places. "
Tartarus looked at Cronos with a smile, and said, "Three places that can detain anything... By the way, there are several main gods, and the gifts your descendants gave to this child are all It is their companion artifact.
That guy Hades even gave this kid the stealth helmet!
And the most important thing is that so far, no one has felt that after this child's tribute, he does not deserve such a gift in return! "
The words fell, and Tartaros waved at the chessboard in front of him.
Then the pieces on the chessboard disappeared, and so far the pictures of Jason offering tributes appeared on the chessboard one by one.
Tartaros cut down the memories he saw.
