Pushing Hephaestus' wheelchair, Jason and his companions came into the hall under the guidance of the maid, and then saw Athena sitting in the hall, being served by a maid doll that looked like a female warrior.

"Why, have you finished talking with Hecate?" Athena looked at Jason and Hephaestus who came out, holding tea in her hands, and said a little unhappily.

"We're done talking." Hephaestus replied calmly.

"Looking at your attitude, you're not going to tell me?"

"Yes." Hephaestus nodded.

Athena raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said confidently: "Forget it if you don't tell me. I will know everything soon anyway!"

Hephaestus did not refute Athena's words.

For indeed, the truth could not remain hidden from the goddess of wisdom for long.

In fact, to be more precise, if it were not for the prophetic god Prometheus, who placed his left eye in Jason's river of destiny.

Athena probably knows everything by now.

And now, even if Athena didn't know everything, she should have guessed something in her heart.

"But...I really didn't expect this."

Athena glanced at Jason, puffed her lips slightly, and said, "Little Jason, you actually have a big secret... and it's all over me!"

"Um, um..." Jason smiled at Athena awkwardly but politely, and said innocently, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, Goddess Athena, it's because Teacher Hecate doesn't let me tell you..."

Hearing this, Athena couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jason.

This wasn't the first day she knew Jason.

Athena was very sure that Jason would never say it even without Hecate's order.

In fact, this is true. Jason would not think that his life is too long, so how could he tell others such a terrible thing?

"Come here!... How dare I love you so much!" Then Athena, who was a little angry, prepared to bully Jason.

But before Jason could go over, Hephaestus stopped him.

"It's not just about Jason. If you have any problems, just come to me." Hephaestus protected Jason behind him and said to Athena with wide eyes.

Athena's forehead was covered with a few black lines, and at this moment she suddenly remembered what happened when Jason was with Demeter.

"Well, just pamper this guy."

"He is my apprentice... my only apprentice." Hephaestus said in a matter-of-fact tone, "If I don't pamper him, who should I pamper?"

"Then be careful, don't let your pet cause trouble!"

...From what Athena said in anger, it was obvious that she already had some vague guesses in her mind.

After all, this is the most difficult god.

"Even if spoiling him brings disaster, I am willing to do so." Hephaestus answered without hesitation, saying to Athena in all seriousness, "And no matter how great the disaster, I will definitely protect him!"

Jason, who was standing by, was stunned when he heard this.

He tilted his head to look at Hephaestus... looking at the goddess Hephaestus sitting in a wheelchair, half of his face was as delicate as a goddess, and the other half was covered by a black mask.

At this moment, Jason's heart was moved...

Offering tribute to Hephaestus, who has nothing... The name of Hephaestus's teacher, the care for the goddess Hephaestus, this is the tribute that Jason offers to the goddess Hephaestus in order to complete his "mission".

This is a tribute...

But even though he knew that this was a tribute, Hephaestus still said these words to Athena firmly.

Even Athena was stunned when she heard what Hephaestus said.

Athena looked at Hephaestus who said this, and then looked at Jason who was staring at Hephaestus in a daze.

His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something subconsciously, but in the end... he said nothing.

There was a strange silence.

"Athena, do you have anything else to say? ...If not, please leave."

Hephaestus suddenly broke the silence and said to Athena in a startling tone: "Jason just returned today... If you come to visit me again in a few days, I will welcome you very much."

"I say..." Athena felt a little helpless and said to Hephaestus who was driving him away: "Our relationship is not bad after all..."

"Yes." Hephaestus nodded, "That's why I didn't just throw you out now. If you're unhappy, come over in a few days and I'll apologize to you."

Such a frank and unpretentious way of driving people away made Athena look at Hephaestus with wide eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Jason heard what Hephaestus said and saw Athena's frustrated look. For a moment, he almost couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.

Fortunately, he managed to hold back and didn't laugh...but Athena still saw it all.

"You, you guys... are fine!"

Athena, with a dark face, gritted her teeth and told Jason about the bow of Apollo, the god of light, the arrow of the moon goddess, and the permission of the twelve gods, in front of Jason's innocent expression.

"Put chains on the bow and arrow?...I understand." Hephaestus took the shackles handed to him by Athena and nodded, indicating that he understood what he should do, and then looked at Athena silently.

Now Hephaestus had the expression "Why don't you leave yet?" written all over his face.

So Athena finally had no choice but to leave with a dark face... Before leaving, she flashed in front of Jason, grabbed Jason's face, and started to ravage him!

"Laugh, I let you laugh at me... Little Jason, let me tell you, I, Athena, will remember this grudge!"

"No, no, Goddess Athena, I didn't, I really didn't. Please listen to my explanation, Goddess Athena!"

When Jason heard this, he felt a pang in his heart and tried to reason with Athena with a sad face, but Athena didn't want to listen to Jason's excuses and turned around and left the temple.

Chapter 3: Things in the Underworld (k)

"Don't worry."

Seeing Jason on the verge of tears, Hephaestus spoke softly to comfort him, "Athena isn't such a stingy god...but if anything does happen, just come to me."

"......Um."

Jason withdrew his gaze and looked at Hephaestus who was looking at him with a smile. He nodded and said, "I understand, Teacher Hephaestus."

Hephaestus was slightly stunned.

She keenly noticed that Jason's call of "teacher" at this moment was slightly different from before.

As for what was different, Hephaestus couldn't tell for a moment.

In fact, it is very simple. Now Jason calls Hephaestus "Teacher" from the bottom of his heart, not as a tribute.

Then Jason pushed Hephaestus' wheelchair, and the two gradually entered the deepest part of the temple.

In the following time, Jason will stay with the goddess Hephaestus for a long time, learning from her the forging skills from the god of craftsmen.

And when they have learned enough, they will give the first item they have forged to Hephaestus.

And that was exactly what Jason offered as tribute to Hephaestus.

In this way, Jason spent a few days with Hephaestus in the Temple of Hephaestus. On the third night, Jason explained the whole story to Hephaestus, and Hephaestus nodded.

Jason took out his staff and went to the underworld surrounded by a group of dark butterflies.

Because in the days that followed, in addition to learning forging skills from Hephaestus, Jason also had a very important thing to do.

That would be for the next six months or so at most, before Persephone, Jason's sister, returned to the underworld.

Jason has to finish preparing for the wedding in the underworld.

Offer his tribute to Hades, the god of the underworld, and Persephone, the queen of the underworld!

Then Jason came to the underworld and walked skillfully on the road of no return in the underworld. Accompanying him were the dancing Pluto Discs, the apostles of the goddess Hecate, who illuminated Jason's way forward in the underworld.

Soon, Jason arrived at the gate of the underworld.

Look left, look right.

Then he said to the two-headed dog, Arthus, who was lying in front of the gate and immediately closed his eyes and lowered his ears to pretend that he could neither see nor hear, "Master Arthus, may I ask where Master Cerberus is?"

Where's the three-headed hellhound?

Jason was curious.

The last time we fought against the hundred-eyed giant Argus, things almost went wrong because the three-headed hellhound Cerberus did not show up.

Otissius originally didn't want to bother with Jason.

But when Jason saw that Artysus ignored him, he climbed onto its body, grabbed its ears, and shouted to Artysus, "Master Artysus, where is Master Cerberus? Where has he gone?"

Otis had no choice but to open his eyes and look at Jason in front of him.

Looking at Jason in front of me, he seemed so tiny compared to himself.

Otissus really had an urge to bite Jason and swallow this annoying guy!

After all, it was Jason who caused Otisius to become one of the current hell watchdogs and never be able to return to the human world!

But... I dare not.

Let’s not talk about whether I will swallow this thing or break my own teeth when I bite it.

When Otysius thought of Jason's "dark forces" in the underworld, he could only sigh to the sky.

Wang Wang Wang!

You can’t mess with this guy. You really can’t mess with him!

"Cerberus is currently being punished in Tartarus, the deepest part of the underworld, under the watchful eyes of the Three Furies."

"Inside Tartarus, being punished?"

Jason was stunned for a moment, and then said to Artysius in surprise, "Master Artysius, Master Cerberus, what did it do? Why was it suddenly imprisoned in Tartarus?"

Otissius did not answer, but just looked at Jason with wide eyes.

Even the snake on its tail turned its head and looked at Jason together with the two dog heads.
