"Are Hydra's parents actually Typhon and Echidna? What's your question?"

Jason looked very confused about Animusphia's question.

In Jason's eyes, Animusphia's words were like asking whether Hercules' father was Zeus.

To put it more intuitively, it's like asking whether one plus one equals two.

If the girl Master next to Animusfia, who was a student, asked such a question, Jason might think that she was not that confident in her knowledge.

But it was Animusfia herself who asked him this question directly——————

Although they have not known each other for a long time, Jason's understanding of Animusfia has become more and more perfect.

With Animusfia's confidence, after he had such doubts, it was time for him to collect evidence and get the results.

And doubts about Hydera's life experience are obviously not the thoughts that Animusfia just came up with. Taking a step back, even if Animusfia really had no idea about Hydera from the beginning. If you have doubts about his life experience, you shouldn't ask him.

This guy will probably find out everything quietly by himself, and then explain it as if he knows everything.

If someone said to him, "You really know everything," Animusfia would probably show modesty and say that he only knew what he knew.

Although he has never read the animation whose character song is well-known but not many people have actually watched it, at this moment, Jason unexpectedly highly predicted what Animusfia might say.

Maybe it's because of the fundamental similarities between the two.

But humble people sometimes, no, let's just say that being solo all the time makes others more annoying.

Even though Jason, who has entered middle age, is no longer as arrogant as he was when he was young, he still doesn't like to show modest emotions.

In contrast, Jason was also unwilling to see others showing such an appearance.

Even though he is stronger than most people, he still has to be humble. This is just an average level.

Such an attitude would seem more irritating in the eyes of Pang Ren, at least that's what Jason thought.

Therefore, when he was young, Jason always liked to show off his achievements without concealing how great he was.

As for why Jason is no longer as domineering as he was when he was young, apart from the fact that he has long been disheartened, the important reason is that he is aware of his own cowardice and looks directly at it.

Except that he had been lucky enough to sail with many heroes, Jason could no longer find out what kind of earth-shattering career he had.

Even the king's position that Jason sought at the beginning of his boat adventure ended up missing out on him.

He has no exploits worth bragging about.

If Jason was really indispensable in those legends, then Jason would definitely not choose to remain anonymous at this time.

After all, probably 99% of those so-called "humble" people who deliberately humble themselves in front of others are just showing their modesty to others.

Just as the rich man shows his wealth, the king shows his treasures, the hero shows his merits - and the humble man shows his virtues.

To use a more derogatory word, it is showing off.

There are far more things to show off than wealth and achievements, and Jason only figured this out later.

Otherwise, he would not show off his achievements because he hates modesty.

But Jason actually doesn't care about showing off, he just cares about whether he has the ability to show off.

Whether it is treasures, achievements, or feats of virtue, as long as someone shows off something and makes others feel envious, it will lead to disgust.

How many people can truly feel pleasure from the achievements of others who have nothing to do with them?

So some people choose to do everything possible to establish a connection between themselves and a certain great man, starting from the illegitimate son who does not know whether it is true or false and claiming his bloodline to be proud of it, to just being proud of having the same hometown as the great man.

In fact, it has nothing to do with you at all, right?

Although he wanted to say this, the young Jason didn't point it out when he actually saw the people cheering for him even more happily than they did for winning the Golden Fleece.

However, more people will feel jealous because they don't have it.

A man with able-bodied hands and feet ran up to a disabled person and loudly praised his physical health————————

In this way, most people may think that the behavior of able-bodied people is too excessive.

But if you think about it carefully, what is wrong with a person with hands and feet showing others that he has hands and feet, and what is wrong with a hero with meritorious deeds showing his merits to others?

What can be wrong with a person who can do something virtuous in showing others that he has done it?

The person who really went wrong is probably the person who clearly knows that he is inferior to others but still feels resentful and dissatisfied.

It's just that because such people are in the majority, people regard caring for them as something worthy of admiration, and thinking against them as an evil act that should not be done.

Really are.....

Jason curled his lips.

Isn't this similar to the tyrant who usurped his throne and expelled himself and Medea?

The only difference lies in whether there is only one tyrant or a group of tyrants.

"Is there something uncertain about the director?"

The master girl from Chaldea also curiously asked Animusfia.

"Of course, who do you think I am?"

"Someone who knows everything...?"

"...Why do I always feel like this conversation happened once...?"

Animusfia sighed, then scratched her head and said:

“I don’t know everything, I only know what I know.”

Really said it!

Jason couldn't help but sigh at how accurately he judged people. If he looked at people this way, he wasn't completely useless.

"Ah, I said this again. Director, are you a robot? Or maybe there is a program in your brain that automatically responds to keywords."

"Don't make assumptions about others."

Animusfia pretended to be angry and lightly hit the girl on the head with her knife.

Compared with the heterosexual atmosphere that Ritsuka displays from time to time, he is still better able to handle simple jokes among friends like this.

"But it does sound like a program, but in fact it's more like a conditioned reflex. As long as you say that, I will want to answer like that."

"It is indeed a robot... No, it is even more pathetic than a robot. Matthew, you have to watch out. Don't watch too many cartoons like the director, or you will become like him in the future."

"...Yes, senior."

After Animusfia and Ritsuka exchanged awkward glances several times, Mashu obediently nodded to his master.

"Don't even obey this order, Mashu!"

"But director, weren't you very happy when you said it yourself? After all, there are very few opportunities in your life to say something like 'Elementary, my dear' with a mysterious face, right?"

Ritsuka said to Animusfia with a hint of teasing.

"Eh...elementary..."

Mashu suddenly raised his head after catching something.

"Hey, Matthew, can you possibly——————?"

"Senior... As expected, I also want to say it once!"

"Then just slowly look for opportunities, Matthew."

In the end, this episode ended with Matthew's defection and Animusfia's victory.

“Then coming back——————Why do I ask this question? Well, actually it’s not a particularly important question, it’s just a little bit of curiosity.”

Animusfia raised her gaze back to Jason.

"After all, it is rare to have the opportunity to personally interview people who have witnessed a myth, and it can also be somewhat helpful in predicting future enemies. So, what is your answer?"

"Have you personally experienced it... But I have not actually come into contact with that many descendants of Typhon... The poisonous dragon of Colchis that guards the Golden Fleece is actually Medea who helps me coping.

If you really want to talk about it, that guy Hercules can handle it more. The Nemean lion, the Caucasian condor eating Prometheus, and the hundred-headed dragon Ladon guarding the golden apples. The two-headed dogs of the Titan Geryon herd and the three-headed dogs guarding Hell, as well as the Hydra here...Looking at it this way, the hatred between that guy and Typhon is really deep... ...

And the Sphinx that Oedipus killed...the Chromion that Theseus killed...Medea Her aunt Circe seems to have turned Scylla into a monster...hiss..."

Jason suddenly realized something and shut his mouth obediently.

"It seems like you are the person involved, right? If all these monsters appear in this singularity due to the joint summoning, I think you will be one step ahead of Hercules, and you will already be seeking revenge. How about now? Would it be better to seek refuge with Heracles first?”

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you really want to seek revenge, you should go to Hercules, right? If I go to him now, wouldn't I be throwing myself into a trap? Even if that guy Hercules doesn't know how to do it, If I take action, the other monsters should be there too!"

"But you just mentioned that Scylla, the nymph poisoned by Circe, is also the descendant of Typhon and Echidna, right?"

Animusfia said this to Jason as if she had captured some key words.

At this time, Hydra, who was behind everyone, woke up again, and then received a heavy blow from Arturia's humiliating hammer. Then she lowered her head again and was tied up by Animusfia.

It was said to be tied up, but at this point in time Hydra should have been beaten to death.

But because the head in the middle would be resurrected indefinitely, Animusfia had to continue to control it.

"That's right...what's your problem?"

"Um."

Animusfia nodded, and then asked Jason:

"Then I would like to ask if Medusa and her two sisters who were killed by Perseus - the three succubi called Gorgon - are the descendants of Typhon and Echidna. ?”

“Of course it is————”

The answer that came out of Jason's mouth not only made Animusfia frown, but even Matthew behind Animusfia changed his expression.

"What happen to you guys?"

Jason asked a little strangely.

"It's normal for you to be strange. In fact, when Greek mythology spread to modern times thousands of years later, many different versions emerged. Among them, there are three versions including the hundred-headed dragon Ladon, the sea monster Scylla and the Gorgon. The most widely circulated life story of the sisters in later generations should be that they are the children of the sea god Phorcys and the sea monster Ceto, not Typhon and Echidna."

Animusfia replied with an expected expression.
