Chapter 326 Pegasus Also Has an Organization, Hercules' Midwife Ancestor
Although Heracles had never seen Pegasus in person, he was quite familiar with it.

After all, his great-grandfather had once worked as a midwife and personally helped deliver this celestial horse!

This may sound a bit far-fetched, but in the world of Greek mythology, it is quite normal.

Hercules' mother was Alcmene, the wife of Amphitryon, the king of Thebes, and Alcmene's grandfather was none other than Perseus, the famous son of Zeus!
That's right, it's that legendary hero who successfully defeated Medusa in single combat.

At the moment Medusa was beheaded, two healthy sons were born from her gushing blood.

One was the giant Chrysaor.

The other one is Pegasus, the winged horse that gallops through the sky!
Therefore, in a sense, Perseus was indeed Pegasus's midwife.

As for Roger?
He had not only heard of Pegasus, but had even ridden it!
Of course, not in this world, but in another world, the Type-Moon universe.

In the Type-Moon universe, Roger's Servant Medusa once used her Noble Phantasm, "Rings of the Hero," to summon a pegasus.

That winged horse was none other than Medusa's adopted son, Pegasus!
Moreover, Roger's idea to tame Pegasus wasn't just something he came up with on a whim.

He thought that taming Pegasus might unlock new achievements.

In the original Greek mythology, Pegasus was not a wild beast that had never been tamed.

Its first owner was a hero named Bellerophon.

In order to defeat the terrifying monster Chimera, the brothers found Pegasus and successfully tamed it, accomplishing a great feat with the help of the Pegasus.

However, the good times did not last long.

Bellerophon became arrogant because of his feat and even attempted to ride Pegasus into Mount Olympus to attend the assembly of the gods.

As a result, Zeus was furious and sent a gadfly to sting Pegasus.

Pegasus was startled and threw Bellerophon off his horse.

This former hero, though he did not die from the fall, ultimately crashed into the Alesian plains, separated from his family, and died alone.

After hearing Roger's idea of ​​using a phantom horse to pull a ship, everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their approval.

"Roger is absolutely right!"

"We must find Pegasus."

"Then let it help us tow the boat!"

But here comes the problem.

Where is Pegasus?
This question caused everyone to fall into a brief silence.

Roger began, “I remember it was once tamed by Bellerophon.”

"Later, Bellerophon fell down and flew away on its own."

"As for where it is now..."

"I do not know either."

Just when everyone was at a loss, Jason suddenly spoke up:
"If we find Bellerophon, perhaps he can tell us the whereabouts of Pegasus."

"Besides, I know him."

Everyone turned to look at him. "You know Bellerophon?"

Jason nodded: "I met Pegasus when I was studying under my teacher Chiron."

"At that time, Bellerophon had just defeated the Chimera, but Pegasus was injured, so he came to his teacher Chiron for treatment."

"I just watched from the sidelines."

"I would say I have seen this Pegasus before."

"Moreover, Bellerophon and I are family."

"Bellerophon's grandfather Sisyphus and my grandfather Creteus were brothers."

"He is my cousin."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Roger's heart stirred when he heard the name Sisyphus.

Who is Sisyphus?

That mortal, known for his cunning and wit, was punished by the gods for angering them, and was forced to endlessly push a giant boulder up a mountain.

But whenever success is within reach, the boulder rolls back to its starting point, and the cycle repeats endlessly.

Indeed, all the main characters in Greek mythology are relatives.

If I weren't cheating, I wouldn't be able to beat these mixed-race bastards at all.

At this moment, Jason spoke up: "However, I don't know where Bellerophon is now, but Professor Chiron might know."

Roger then said, "Bellerophon has fallen into the plains of Alesia."

Everyone started discussing: "Where is the Alesian Plains?"

How do I get there?

Just as everyone was talking at once, Roger had already silently stood up.

He didn't say anything, he just raised his hand calmly.

"Shh!"

A spatial rift was instantly torn open!

Everyone took a step back in unison, staring at Roger in astonishment.

Jason: "???"

Hercules: "???"

Roger calmly flicked his sleeves, as if he had just torn apart a piece of toilet paper rather than space itself.

"The Alessia Plains are right across from us."

Then Roger turned around and added, "Let's go."

"Don't dawdle."

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped into the doorway.

Jason opened his mouth, as if to say something.

Is this right?

This is really not right.

The group looked at each other, and finally, one by one, they gritted their teeth and squeezed through the door.

After passing through the door, they indeed arrived at a desolate and vast wilderness.

The wind howled across the grassland, and in the distance stretched endless hills.

They hadn't walked far when they encountered a withered, middle-aged man.

The man sat on a rock, holding a twig and drawing circles on the ground.

He was startled when the group of people suddenly appeared and almost threw the branch away.

"You are the first living people I have seen in all these years."

He murmured, his voice hoarse.

Hercules stepped forward and asked, "Have you seen Bellerophon?"

The man paused for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile: "Belle-Lofon, what a nostalgic name."

At that moment, Jason's eyes suddenly lit up, and he strode forward, his voice excited: "You are Bellerophon?"

The man looked up and stared at him for a long time, his eyes shifting from confusion to shock, and then to confirmation.

"Are you Jason?"

His voice trembled.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and tears welled up in their eyes instantly.

When relatives meet, their eyes are filled with tears.

They embraced and wept bitterly, a deeply moving scene.

Roger then interrupted quite inappropriately:
"Okay, okay, stop crying."

He got straight to the point: "Where did your Pegasus go?"

Upon hearing this, Bellerophon's expression immediately darkened.

He said slowly, "Pegasus was taken away by Zeus."

Roger was taken aback: "Huh? Your good friend has become Zeus's mistress?"

Roger nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, I see, Zeus's tastes are getting more and more eccentric."

Bellerophon: "..."

Bellerophon rolled his eyes: "No, I mean Pegasus abandoned me and became Pegasus."

Roger was silent for a few seconds, then nodded as if he suddenly understood: "I see, your good brother got a promotion and a raise, and reached the pinnacle of his life."

"Seeing my good brother get a permanent position is a really tough feeling."

Bellerophon: "..."
