Then a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Come to think of it... Atalanta, this is why you decided to follow me on this trip, right?"
Atalanta was slightly stunned.
"You came with me because you wanted to see what kind of person I am, the one favored by the gods, right?"
This is true.
This was what had always attracted Atalanta to Jason.
After all, three years ago, Artemis' love for Jason left a very deep impression on Atalanta.
Not to mention that at that time there was not only Artemis, but also Apollo, Athena, Jason's teacher Hecate and other noble gods.
And now, after experiencing the incident with the Calydonian boar and seeing more things on Jason, it was hard for Atalanta not to pay attention to Jason.
Why on earth could he be favored by so many gods? ...It was precisely for this reason that Atalanta chose to follow Jason on this journey.
"......Yes."
Now that Jason had pointed it out, Atalanta, who had been silent for a while, readily admitted it, saying, "And the goddess Artemis told me that if I want to know the answer, I just need to watch you closely."
"Oh, did you find the answer?"
"No." Atalanta answered without hesitation, "Instead, I'm even more confused!"
Jason turned his head to look at Atalanta, but was glared at by Atalanta in return... Apparently, Atalanta had accumulated a certain degree of dissatisfaction with Jason over the past few days.
"Why are the gods paying so much attention to me? ...To be honest, I don't really understand."
Jason smiled softly and turned his head to the side.
As expected, compared to Medea, Atalanta is obviously more adorable.
At the same time, this thought came to Jason's mind.
It was originally very simple. Even if you include the fateful meeting three years ago, the time Jason and Atalanta had known each other was no more than about half a month.
But in just half a month, Jason had already clearly understood what kind of person Atalanta was.
He spent three whole years with Medea, his lovely sister and senior.
Jason often didn't know what Medea was thinking.
A girl who is too smart... isn't really that cute to Jason.
"If you can find the answer, I actually hope you can tell me."
"Why?" Atalanta felt a little confused when she heard this.
"Because then...I can change it!"
With a slight chuckle, Jason gently pulled the reins of the Pegasus in his hand. The Pegasus whinnied softly and dived towards the kingdom that was already visible below.
Atalanta was startled by this sudden move and subconsciously reached out and hugged Jason.
......
......
evening,
In the kingdom of Io's father, King Inachus.
As night was about to fall, there were slightly more people walking around in the kingdom than usual.
In this world, life at night is not very rich.
Even if it is rich, it is only for the powerful nobles.
Jason and Atalanta were walking on the street, and Pegasus was abandoned by Jason, who let it wander around on its own during this time.
As for the two future people, Jason and Atalanta, although they attracted the attention of some people, they did not cause any commotion.
After all, he is a magician... Although he has not yet graduated from the goddess Hecate, Jason can still use simple disguise magic.
It would be strange if Jason didn't learn such a practical and simple magic.
Therefore, what appeared in the eyes of the ordinary people around him was not only the handsome Jason, but also the extraordinarily beautiful hunter.
They are just two very ordinary people.
"Shall we go to the palace now and see King Inachus?"
On the way, Atalanta looked at Jason who was looking around and couldn't help asking.
"No rush...wait a moment."
Jason chuckled and replied to Atalanta, "If we go now, there will be too many people... I don't like that."
Atalanta quickly understood what Jason meant.
Because this person does not want to be associated with the name of a hero, even if he is forced to reveal his own name, he is most likely using Hercules as a cover.
And when he was in Calydon, Jason also liked to hide in the dark and not attract attention.
Hearing this, Atalanta frowned slightly and said, "So what do we do now?"
"Let's walk around... Come to think of it, I haven't really seen this world, even though I've been here for so many years."
Jason paused slightly and replied calmly.
After hearing Jason's words, Atalanta naturally couldn't help but look at Jason with confusion in her eyes.
Obviously, he didn't understand what Jason meant.
Jason had no intention of explaining this.
Yes, speaking of this time traveler Jason, he has indeed been in this world for about three or four years.
But during these years, Jason actually had no time to stop and look at the world.
Because of the favor of the gods, but also for oneself.
Jason was always on the go.
But under normal circumstances, Jason would not stop to look at the world he lives in now.
I suddenly had this thought today... Maybe it's because there's Atalanta by my side.
Although Atalanta did not understand what Jason meant, she did not say much and followed Jason.
Even if the reason was because of the agreement between them... Atalanta had to obey Jason's orders along the way.
But to be honest, even though Jason still felt that Atalanta was troublesome, when she was around... Jason would really feel relieved.
...Okay, let's speak human language.
Actually, Jason felt that Atalanta’s character was a little too straightforward and a little too... stupid!
The two walked on the street, and as time passed, night soon fell on the earth.
As a result, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.
Atalanta frowned and followed Jason. She wanted to ask Jason several times what was so good about it.
But every time she wanted to ask, she would find Jason looking around with interest, and as time went by, Atalanta, who was looking at him, gradually felt that he was so out of place here!
Out of place? ...What am I thinking? He's a hero, a man beloved by the gods, so of course he's different from others.
Just as Atalanta was thinking about this.
"Hey, Atalanta, did you know?... Actually, not long ago, when I left you to meet Teacher Hephaestus, Teacher Hephaestus gave me three tests when we first met."
"...Three tests?"
Atalanta looked at Jason who suddenly spoke and asked in confusion.
“Well… the first test is a mountain of gold that fills an entire hall.
The second test was a room filled with weapons.
The third test is a variety of strange female dolls... Although they are called dolls, they are no different from human beings.
They represent wealth, power, honor and women respectively... Teacher Hephaestus let me choose any one I want, and it's okay even if I take them all.
And the goddess Hephaestus swore in her name that no matter how much I took, she would never hold me accountable."
"...Why are you suddenly saying this?" After hearing Jason's words, Atalanta was briefly surprised and then said in confusion.
"Don't you want to know what I chose?" Jason looked at Atalanta with a smile.
Atalanta hesitated for a moment, neither nodding nor shaking her head, and just looked at Jason.
Obviously...still interested.
"From the group representing wealth and power, I took a gem. From the group representing weapons of honor, I took a bow. As for the woman... I dare not touch her!"
Hearing Jason's answer, Atalanta was surprised, but she easily believed Jason's words.
At the same time, he also remembered what happened last time in Calydon.
Atalanta once asked Jason why he had acted so dislike towards her at first, and Jason's answer was that she was too beautiful...
Thinking about it this way, Atalanta felt that Jason was really, really strange.
Compared with others, it is so special.
...Is this what attracts the gods?
"So you don't like wealth, power, heroic honor, or women... Then what do you want?"
"Goddess Hephaestus asked me the same thing."
Jason smiled and replied to Atalanta: "And my answer is... I just want to live well.
I just want to live a carefree life in this foreign land."
Hearing this answer, Atalanta was stunned.
She had just thought of many answers, and even speculated whether Jason was a benevolent person who saved all living beings...
Well, although she felt that it didn’t look like it at all!
But it was obvious that just as Hephaestus was surprised by Jason's answer.
Atalanta also felt that this answer was so ridiculous!
