"Ah, little Atalanta, you are so clever!"
Artemis' eyes lit up, and after happily patting Atalanta's head, she thought for a moment and then said to Jason, "I got it!
In that case, little Jason, I will lend you my favorite golden-horned deer for a while.
It will take you through the desolate ancient forest, across the vast swamps, over the numerous peaks, and finally you will reach your destination! "
After Artemis finished speaking, the tall golden-horned deer beside her seemed to understand. It called out twice in a low voice and then walked out to Jason.
After rubbing Jason's face with its head, it nodded to Artemis, indicating that it would complete the task!
Things had come to this point, so Jason naturally wouldn't refuse and bring himself into trouble.
And he had to admit that having a mount, an extraordinary mount, would indeed save him a lot of trouble.
"Brother Lu, please give me your guidance from now on."
When Jason finished speaking, the golden-horned deer stuck out its tongue and licked him a few times, making his face covered with saliva, then turned its head away and ignored him.
"Hehe, little Jason, this is not Brother Deer, you should call her Sister Deer." Artemis, who was standing by, saw Jason's embarrassed look and couldn't help but added with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jason suddenly realized his mistake and hurried to apologize to the golden-horned deer.
Then Jason sat on the squatting golden-horned deer and waved goodbye to the two of them.
Atalanta stood beside Artemis, watching Jason leave silently.
After Jason left, Artemis looked at Atalanta who was staring at him and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong, little Atalanta, do you want to go with Jason?"
"No, I don't want to!"
Atalanta subconsciously retorted, then realized she was speaking to Artemis. She quickly restrained her tone and said, "I was just wondering... Can he really complete your mission, Lady Artemis?"
"Hmm... I don't know," Artemis replied. "But it's not just me. Even Hecate, Athena, and Apollo are willing to entrust this matter to little Jason."
"Then... Atalanta, do you think little Jason can complete it?"
"Me?" Atalanta thought for a moment, frowned, and hesitated for a while before saying, "I think... he must complete it! Because this is the task assigned by you, Lady Artemis!"
"Is that so... Never mind, let's just leave it like this for now." Artemis didn't say much upon hearing this, but just reached out and touched Atalanta's head again.
Soon after, Atalanta formally bid farewell to Artemis and left, heading back home. After all, she had been away for five days and it was time to go back.
Her uncle who took her in has been extremely anxious these days.
At the same time, it was about the same time...
......
......
The underworld, the temple of Hecate.
When Hecate walked out of the temple and prepared to meet Artemis.
"Teacher Hecate, are you going out again?" Medea, who happened to see it and hesitated for a long time, finally called out to Hecate.
"Hmm." Hecate paused for a moment, looked at her student Medea, and said, "What's wrong?"
"Um... Teacher Hecate, I just want to ask, how long will it take for my junior brother Jason to come?"
As she spoke, Medea blinked her beautiful purple eyes and looked at her teacher Hecate with hope.
Chapter 22: Do it yourself!
Hecate looked at Medea, who was asking about Jason, and after a moment's thought, she asked, "Do you really want to meet him?"
"Huh? Because isn't he also a student of yours, Teacher Hecate?" Medea, who was only ten years old, tilted her little head cutely, as if wondering why Hecate asked that.
Medea got to know Jason and knew that she had a junior fellow apprentice nearly a month ago, which was the day Jason left the Eternal River in the underworld and embarked on his journey.
From that day on, Medea had actually been looking forward to meeting Jason.
She originally thought that she would see him soon and have a junior brother in the underworld who would talk and play with her.
But she didn't expect that until today, there was no sign of Jason's arrival.
On the contrary, I, a teacher who is obviously a homebody, have been running outside every few days because of Jason's affairs.
Hecate looked at Medea who was looking at her expectantly and was silent for a while.
"Soon." Hecate said lightly, "It won't be long."
After saying this, Hecate walked out.
Medea watched Hecate's beautiful back as she left, and after she disappeared from her sight, she turned around and continued with the homework Hecate had assigned her.
But it is obvious that Medea is in a very good mood now.
Because her junior brother will be here soon, she won’t be so lonely in this temple!
"I'm really looking forward to it... I'm looking forward to meeting my junior brother." Medea said softly, and at this moment a very cute and innocent smile appeared on her face.
......
......
That night,
Not far from a clear stream in the forest, Jason set up a simple tent.
Because the excellent Atalanta had left, Jason, who had been on the road all day, was unable to go hunting, so he was now eating dry food.
Then, Jason saw the golden-horned deer staring at the food in his mouth, so he tactfully handed the dry food to her and said, "Sister Deer, do you want to eat?"
The golden-horned deer came over, took a bite of the hard-to-swallow dry food handed to it by Jason, chewed it, and then immediately spit it out.
unpalatable!
Then the golden-horned deer called a few times and gently bumped into Jason, causing him to drop the dry food in his hand. Then he raised his head to look at the moon in the sky and began to call loudly.
As it called out, the golden antlers on its head began to grow slowly, and under the moonlight, they emitted a strange light.
Just as Jason was watching this scene curiously, he soon heard the rustling sound of grass rubbing against each other all around.
Then one by one the animals appeared from the shadows, came out at the call of the golden-horned deer, and surrounded Jason and the golden-horned deer.
Just when Jason was a little stunned by this, the golden-horned deer stopped talking, turned its head to look at the animals coming over, nodded to them, and called out a few times, as if giving some instructions, and then the animals scattered away.
But the birds, squirrels, bees and other small animals that left soon came back, bringing wild fruits, wild grapes, honey and other food. Wild wolves, foxes and other creatures soon brought meat such as rabbits that they had hunted.
Jason watched in amazement as they placed these things in front of him, piled them into a small hill, and then gathered together and left.
Artemis, the moon goddess, is also the goddess of nature among the many roles given to her by Zeus.
At this time, the golden-horned deer gently bumped into Jason, urging him to enjoy the delicacies quickly and not eat the dry food.
"This... is a bit too much, Sister Deer." Jason hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse the Golden Horned Deer's kindness. Looking at the food piling up in front of him, he said to the Golden Horned Deer, "I'll take some for now. I can't eat so much."
Hearing this, the golden-horned deer looked at Jason in front of him.
Little arms and legs...
"Sister Lu, I really can't eat so much. I'm just a mortal." Jason said helplessly, "I'm not a demigod, unlike Brother Hercules and the others!"
Seeing Jason's insistence, the golden-horned deer finally stopped talking, squatted beside Jason, closed his eyes and rested.
Then Jason left some wild fruits and put the rest into the bag Athena gave him, preparing to have a quick meal and then rest.
"Is this all you eat?" Hecate's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
Jason subconsciously turned his head and saw the beautiful goddess Hecate walking out from the moonlight in a long black dress.
The golden-horned deer half-opened its eyes and looked at Hecate, and after realizing that it was the goddess who left her breath on Jason, it closed its eyes again.
"Teacher Hecate!" Jason was naturally surprised to see Hecate suddenly appear. He quickly stood up and said, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to see my students. What's the matter?" Hecate came over and winked at Jason. Then she said, "But that's certainly not something I would say... I came to see you because I have something."
As she spoke, Hecate came and sat down beside Jason.
He picked up the wild fruit in front of Jason, wiped it, and began to eat it, saying, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."
"...Yes." Although Jason was a little surprised by Hecate's sudden appearance, he still sat down.
"I just met with Artemis... You did well. Now you just need to find Persephone and your mission will be accomplished."
"So... I won't meet God again?" Jason said with some surprise when he heard this.
"Hmm." Hecate said, then looked at Jason and said, "You really do hate the gods."
Upon hearing this, Jason was shocked and was about to explain.
"It's okay, I hate it too."
Hecate said, taking a bite of the wild fruit under Jason's surprised gaze, "It's so troublesome, that's why I didn't go to Mount Olympus, but hid in the underworld... You did a good job this time."
As she said this, Hecate touched Jason's head as if to reward him.
"After this is over, I will teach you magic. You can just focus on learning from me... I came to see you this time to ask you, have you ever thought about becoming immortal?"
"......Ah?" Jason was stunned by the sudden question.
"The waters of the Styx have washed your body, and after the Eternal Netherfire has tempered your soul, even if you are still a mortal, you will have the opportunity to become immortal.
You only need to be further tempered by the Olympian fire."
Hecate paused, then continued to speak to the surprised Jason, "This time, Athena has shown interest in you... Artemis has let it slip, but she asked me to keep it a secret. So when you meet Athena, just pretend you don't know who she is."
Besides Athena, Apollo and Artemis also have a good relationship with me, and after this incident, the God King will also have a certain favor towards you."
The God King? ...Zeus?
Jason blinked, confused.
Wait? Zeus, the God King, will have a favorable impression of me... Shit, when did I catch his attention?
Jason reacted and immediately opened his eyes wide!
