Jason, holding a staff and casting a spell for Hecate to examine, looked up at her with confusion. After a moment's thought, he smiled and said, "But isn't it a good thing to have some fun?"

"Stupid!" Cerberus, who was lying nearby, interrupted and said with a pout, "The Underworld is a place of rest, how can it possibly be lively?"

Jason glanced at Cerberus, then took out a honey cake from his arms and threw it out.

When the honey cake was flying in the air, Cerberus pounced directly on it.

The ancient Greeks had the custom of placing a honey cake in the coffin of the deceased, reportedly to please Cerberus.

And it turns out that this hellhound really seems to like this food.

No, to be precise, she actually likes to eat sweet things.

After dealing with Cerberus, Jason turned around before he could continue speaking.

Hecate stood up, patted Jason on the head with the magic book in her hand, and said lightly: "Half a year has passed, and your magic has not improved at all...but your ability to cause trouble has increased a lot.

If you continue like this, when will you be able to graduate from me?"

"Well, that."

Ia Songcan smiled and said, "Teacher, you know that I have been very busy since I left the mountain half a year ago. I have no time to calm down and study magic..."

"Yes, I know." Hecate said calmly, "That's why I said you've become much more capable of causing trouble... The Underworld has become bustling because of you."

Jason was silent when he heard this.

"That's right, he's not at all content. Even after leaving the mountain, he keeps running to the underworld!" Cerberus shouted from the side.

"You're eating and you can't keep your mouth shut!"

Jason said angrily, and then asked Cerberus: "And why are you still staying here? Aren't you going back to guard the gate?"

"No... That guy Otisius dared to beat me, so I can use this as an excuse not to go back!" Cerberus said proudly.

"And you promised to take me out to play. When are we leaving, Jason? Hurry up and take me out to play!"

"You want me to take you out?"

Cerberus nodded to Jason.

"Then go and convince your brother-in-law Hades, the God of the Underworld, yourself."

Cerberus instantly lost his temper when he heard the word Pluto.

"Speaking of which, Hades...Persephone should be back soon, right?"

Hecate looked at Jason and said, "I see you haven't been doing anything lately, is that really okay?

Oh, take it."

Hecate said as she handed a thick stack of magic to Jason.

"Copy each one a hundred times... Don't even think about being lazy. You had Medea to help you back then, but she's gone now."

"I'm already in the underworld, and I still have to copy formulas..." Looking at the magic formula handed over by Hecate, Jason felt like crying.

"Who made you so stupid? Medea understood it at a glance and could apply it to other situations, but you can only barely remember it after copying it a hundred times."

In response, Hecate struck back mercilessly.

Hecate paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "And I advise you to learn this magic as quickly as possible. If you are slow, and Medea really can't help but attack you one day, I don't think you will be able to resist..."

"Teacher, could you please stop saying such horrible things?! ...Also, don't you really have anything quick to learn?"

Jason looked anxiously at the thought, "For example, a magical weapon that can break all laws..."

"No...but if I work with your other teacher, maybe I can create something like this."

When Jason heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

“But why should I do that?”

Hecate looked at Jason unhappily and said, "You are not doing your best, and you expect me, your teacher, to pay for you. That's absolutely impossible!"

"mean......"

"This isn't a question of being petty." Hecate gently pulled Jason's face and said, "You're learning magic from me, not asking for a magic weapon... If you sever your master-disciple relationship with me..."

"I'd better just study magic."

Jason said decisively.

If I am not decisive and show even the slightest sign of being moved, I will probably be struck by lightning again.

"By the way, about Persephone..."

"Actually, everything is almost ready, but... right now there's something stuck, so I plan to go find Goddess Athena later."

Jason replied truthfully.

Hearing the name of Athena, Hecate couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

"It seems like you really trust her... Tell me, what's going on?"

"Actually, my brother-in-law Hades, the God of the Underworld, also asked me about this. He asked if I could fill the underworld with flowers..."

"There is only one kind of flower in the underworld..."

Hecate seemed to understand something and said, "Higanbana."

"Yes, I know that. Later, I secretly tried the golden wheat ears that my sister Persephone and the goddess Demeter gave me, but they wouldn't grow at all... Actually, you're right. If they could grow, flowers would have already bloomed outside Hades' palace."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Well...if there's really no other way, I'll make woven flowers and have them cover the entire palace of Hades' brother-in-law."

Jason told the truth and said, "But if possible, I still want to ask Athena if there is any way to make the underworld bloom...preferably roses."

Hecate was about to shake her head and tell Jason that there was nothing she could do.

However, after hearing the word "red rose", Hecate was slightly stunned. She blinked and looked at Jason and asked, "Why rose?"

"Because I asked Athena to design a pure white wedding dress for Persephone, it would be even better if roses were used as the accent color... Hey, teacher, do you have any ideas?"

Jason looked at Hecate curiously, then added, "I've actually thought about you, Teacher. But for a wedding, using either imitation flowers or illusions isn't quite right. The real thing would be best."

"...I don't have the power to make flowers bloom in the underworld, and no god in this world can do that."

Hecate shook her head slightly, and just as Jason felt a slight headache coming on from this.

"But if it's a rose... there's a god who has the power to make it bloom in the underworld for a short period of time."

"Oh?" Jason couldn't help but be delighted and said, "Teacher, who is it?"

"The wife of your other teacher." Hecate looked at Jason with a slightly strange look and said, "The wife of Hephaestus... the goddess of beauty Aphrodite."

After listening to Hecate's words, Jason was slightly stunned and couldn't help but patting his head.

Yes, and there is also the goddess of beauty Aphrodite!

Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, is the goddess of love and beauty in ancient Greek mythology. She was born among the waves of the sea and has porcelain-like skin, a perfect figure and appearance.

For example, Apollo, the god of light, is the representative of the perfect man in ancient Greece.

Then the goddess of beauty Aphrodite is the representative of the perfect woman in ancient Greece.

Her beauty was like the shimmering light of day, her cheeks were as rosy as peach blossoms, and her eyes seemed to hold the blue of the sea.

As a result, she became the most beloved goddess among the gods and was pursued by the king of gods Zeus, but the goddess of beauty Aphrodite was not interested in him.

Therefore, when faced with the pursuit of the king of gods Zeus, Aphrodite turned into a female swan to avoid him, but Zeus turned into a gander to chase her.

Aphrodite turned into a female snake, and Zeus turned into a male snake to entangle with her.

But in the end, Zeus still failed to succeed because the jealous Hera intervened in the middle of the process.

However, because of this, the humiliated Zeus finally betrothed the goddess of beauty Aphrodite to the lame god of craftsmen Hephaestus.

The reason why Hecate mentioned the goddess of beauty Aphrodite is very simple, because Aphrodite is the goddess of love, and her beauty even conquers nature.

Flowers bloom wherever she goes, and roses are the most beautiful.

It is for this reason that in ancient Greek mythology, rose is also a symbol of love.

"congratulations."

Just as Jason was realizing what was happening, Hecate suddenly said to him, "Finally, you're going to take action against the last of the gods of Olympus... All the goddesses of Olympus will be spared!"

"Teacher, what are you talking about? I never did anything to them..."

"Come on," Hecate said to Jason in a bad mood, "Tell me, among the goddesses of Olympus, besides Aphrodite, who else you haven't slept with?"

"Um... Diva Hera!"

Hecate looked speechlessly at Jason who had answered her question. Even Cerberus beside her looked at Jason with contempt.

Seeing this, Jason also felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem... Um, teacher, please don't say that, okay? The goddesses are just being kind and letting me sleep. And if you want to say that, I've slept with you before, and more than once..."

Chapter 4.5: Athena's Conspiracy, Jason, You Are Mine! (k)

As soon as Jason finished speaking, the entire temple fell silent.

Cerberus, who was biting a honey cake on the side, opened his eyes wide and looked at Jason with an expression as if he was a stunned dog.

But what shocked Cerberus even more was yet to come.

That is, Hecate did not respond much to Jason's shocking remarks. She just gave Jason a blank look.

After pinching Jason's face in annoyance, she let him go.

This is also the reason why Jason dared to joke with Hecate like this... To be precise, he would only say this to Hecate.

When facing Hecate, there is really no need to be overly respectful, nor to worry about whether your unintentional words will cause disgust from this god.

Because Hecate would be pleased with the complicated rituals and cautious offerings to the gods, because she would find it very troublesome.

You know, when they first met, Hecate once gave Jason the feeling that she was an unreliable god.

Well, there is of course a special condition added to this, that is, the person must be recognized by her and be her student.
