What we are thanking them for is naturally their efforts in protecting the cattle.
"...It's okay." Amphitrite replied softly.
She did not frown or feel unhappy because Jason killed Geryon. After all, he was killed.
As a result, Amphitrite even looked at Jason with more appreciation and love.
"You killed the Chimera, the monster that devastated the earth, and repelled Antaeus, the child of Gaia, the Earth Goddess. Now, you have also killed the Centaur Eurytion, and the three-toned, three-headed, six-armed giant Geryon who guarded the cattle...
Now you are truly a hero, kid."
Looking at Amphitrite who was smiling and praising him, Jason just smiled and did not respond, because...
This is what Hercules did, what does it have to do with me, Jason!
In fact, apart from these three things, if you count carefully, Jason has actually done a lot of things.
Even if we put aside the experiences of offering tributes to the gods, he took away the goddess Persephone right under the nose of the goddess of harvest Demeter, and then took the initiative to apologize to Demeter, bringing life back to the withered earth.
And later on there were the Calydonian boar and the snake demon Lamia.
Along the way, his journey was so wonderful and eye-catching!
But even so, Jason's journey was far from over.
What awaits him is destined to be an extremely tortuous road accompanied by the gods.
It is precisely because of this that the prophetic Prometheus left those words for him...I hope he will never regret his choice!
Then Jason bid farewell to Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea, and Calliroe, the two goddesses of the sea.
Jason did not take the cattle with him, for the goddess Calliroe volunteered to drive the cattle to Apollo, the god of light.
Jason would naturally not be stupid enough to reject the kindness of a goddess, but what surprised Jason was that Amphitrite also expressed some interest.
In fact, Amphitrite mainly wanted to go with him so that she could witness Jason offering tribute to Apollo.
Therefore, Pegasus left the team for a short time. It carried the two goddesses and drove the cattle to see Apollo, the god of light.
In fact, Jason was planning to go with them, but Amphitrite refused and told Jason.
Before going to see Apollo, the god of light, he needed to meet a noble god and get Athena's long-delayed oracle from her.
So in the end, Jason, who was playing the piano, could only walk alone on the sea and move towards the mainland.
However, Jason's sea voyage did not last long.
Soon a group of dolphins swimming happily came to Jason.
They were attracted by the sound of Jason's piano, and after learning of Jason's purpose, they made pleasant sounds to invite Jason.
So, in exchange for the beautiful music of his piano, Jason sat on a cute dolphin and quickly sailed towards the shore of the Greek mainland.
When the veil of night quietly dissipated and the moonlight faded from Jason, the dawn sunlight immediately shone lovingly on Jason.
Playing the azure harp in his hand, surrounded by the cute dolphins that meowed, and accompanied by the beautiful sound of the harp.
Soon after sunrise, Jason saw the continent ahead.
"Thank you, lovely little ones."
Arriving at the shallows, Jason got off the dolphins, caressed them one by one, and said goodbye to them amid their cries of reluctance.
Then, just as Jason stepped onto the land again and was about to embark on his journey again, he heard a rustling sound.
A familiar figure walked out from under the sun-dappled shade of the trees and appeared before Jason.
It was a beautiful golden-horned deer... Yes, that's right, it was the golden-horned deer that the moon goddess Artemis rode!
"Sister Lu?" Jason was slightly stunned.
The golden-horned deer called softly and then came to Jason.
She gently rubbed Jason's cheek and licked him intimately as a greeting after not seeing him for a long time.
"Long time no see, Sister Lu...Is that so, it's your turn to accompany me for the rest of the journey, right?"
Jason smiled and touched the golden-horned deer, obviously understanding what it meant.
The golden-horned deer nodded and squatted in front of Jason.
Jason climbed up, and the golden-horned deer stood up and took Jason into the shadow of the forest not far away.
Jason took out the guide given to him by Athena, compared it, and found that the golden-horned deer was not moving towards the god of light Apollo, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
But soon, Jason no longer cared.
"Sister Deer, do you want to hear the sound of my playing?" Jason asked, sitting on the golden-horned deer and holding a deep-sea harp.
The golden-horned deer naturally would not refuse Jason's request, so Jason started playing again.
As Jason played, the golden-horned deer couldn't help but slow down its pace, trying not to feel the bumps.
As the sound of the piano spread faintly, the small animals in the forest couldn't help but prick up their ears and tilt their heads to look in Jason's direction.
The chirping birds then gathered around Jason, and after several cautious attempts, they landed on him.
The nymphs in the forest also revealed themselves and looked curiously at the young man who was playing the piano beautifully under the sunlight.
All I saw was a handsome prince in white clothes as white as snow, with golden hair and golden eyes... Ah, if there was a lucky passerby passing by at this time and saw this scene.
Then he would definitely regard Jason as the most handsome and beautiful man in Greece, the god of light Apollo.
This day's journey was very relaxing.
And on the way, all living creatures gave way to the golden-horned deer and Jason.
Perhaps neither the gods quietly watching from the sky nor the creatures in the forest want to destroy the painting before their eyes.
But the road will eventually come to an end.
As the sun set, Jason, who had been walking, arrived at his next stop... one of the oldest gods in Mount Olympus.
The former second-generation Queen of Heaven, Goddess Rhea, has been waiting for him for a long time.
Chapter 94: The Never-Ending Meaningless Story
At dusk,
Jason's harp suddenly stopped.
Because the golden-horned deer stopped in front of an old woman with silver hair.
...It's an old story. Speaking of which, these gods really like to do this.
Jason thought this in his heart and got off the golden-horned deer.
Just as Jason was thinking about how to talk to the old woman, the old woman spoke first and said to Jason: "My child, have you heard a story?
A story about a meaningless action that repeats itself forever."
Facing the old woman who smiled kindly at him, Jason thought for a while and shook his head at her.
"Really? Then follow me."
Having said this, the old woman turned around and walked forward with the Golden Horned Deer and Jason, who looked at each other.
Although the old woman's pace seemed slow, she was actually not walking very slowly. Jason even had to take small steps to catch up with her.
This made Jason want to complain in his heart. Since it has become like this, why is he still pretending to be an old man? Why not just appear as himself...
Anyway, who is it?
Just as Jason was thinking this, the old woman led Jason along a small path and finally came to the foot of a steep mountain slope.
Almost as soon as Jason arrived here, he felt the ground shaking noticeably. He subconsciously looked up and saw a huge round rock rolling down from the top of the mountain!
"careful!"
Seeing this, Jason almost subconsciously stepped forward, ready to help the old man block the rolling stone, but what surprised him a little was that the stone stopped automatically when it rolled quickly to the foot of the mountain.
Then Jason saw a ragged man walking down the steep slope.
Just as Jason was looking at this scene in confusion.
"His name is Sisyphus."
The old man, not at all flustered, spoke to Jason in a calm voice, "He is the founder of the nearby kingdom called Corinth, and was also its former king.
He was originally an extremely intelligent man, but he offended the king of gods Zeus and was thrown into the underworld, but he did not die.
Because before going to the underworld, Sisyphus asked his wife not to bury his body. When he arrived in the underworld, he told the god of death that a person who was not buried was not qualified to stay in the underworld, and asked for three days' leave to return to the world to deal with his own affairs.
As a result, he returned to the human world, but was too lazy to walk, so the Olympian gods punished him and told him to push the huge round rock up the mountain at sunrise. If he did not push it up at sunset, the rock would naturally roll down.
At the same time, if he can roll the boulder to the top of the mountain by sunset, then he can be forgiven."
Jason listened to the old woman's words, looked at the huge rock rolling to the foot of the mountain, looked at the steep mountain, and the ragged old man.
"...a story of meaningless actions repeated forever." Jason said softly, looking thoughtful.
"Yes, that's right." The old woman smiled faintly and turned her head to look at Jason. "This is the story of a meaningless action that repeats itself forever, and this is the punishment Olympus gives to this man.
Because he will never be able to push the boulder to the top of the mountain, everything he does will be meaningless."
Hearing this, Jason looked at the unnaturally stopped boulder, then looked at the steep mountain, and nodded in understanding.
It is obvious that divine power has been exerted on this huge rock.
But...what does this have to do with me?
Jason looked at the old woman in confusion.
"Child of Hecate, the goddess of roads, and also a child offering tribute to the Olympian gods, you came here this time to receive the oracle from Athena, the goddess of wisdom, right?"
The old woman smiled at Jason. When Jason nodded, she pointed at the boulder and the man pushing it up the mountain and said, "So... if I asked you to help him, what would you do?"
"Help him?" Jason was slightly stunned.
Then he looked up at the man who walked down, glanced at Jason and the old woman, and left. He went to the side of the boulder to rest and waited quietly for the next day to continue his meaningless actions.
At the same time, Jason keenly discovered that his eyes were dead... This was also normal. Doing such endless, meaningless and life-burning work day after day, it would be strange if his eyes were not dead.
"Yes." The old woman smiled and said, "Help him... If I said so, what would you choose to do?"
