It's so mysterious that you can't help but want to uncover it and find out what's inside!

So when Hephaestus was staring at himself in the mirror, Jason reached out to her left ear and gently pulled out a light golden veil to cover her beautiful face.

That was the cloth that Jason had commissioned Athena to weave, and Jason had Athena curse it.

That is, when it is worn, it will always cover the other person's face.

No matter what method is used, as long as the user does not take it off actively, the true face hidden under the veil cannot be seen!

So at this moment Jason raised the bronze mirror and looked at Hephaestus in front of him.

He couldn't help but feel relieved.

Although Jason had secretly rehearsed many times and even secretly carved a model out of wood, he had a certain degree of confidence.

But now, when Jason saw Hephaestus wearing this gift and appearing in front of him, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't mess it up... In fact, it was really difficult for Jason to mess it up.

It's just like a goddess wearing a school uniform and someone else wearing a school uniform are two different concepts.

Hephaestus already had a pretty good foundation, and Jason only added a little embellishment.

But even so, it is bound to surprise others.

The evidence is that when Jason pushed Hephaestus' wheelchair out of the temple, Athena and Hecate were stunned when they saw Hephaestus appearing in front of them.

"Jason, you always surprise me."

Then Athena came to her senses, took her eyes off Hephaestus, and looked at Jason beside her with praise.

"But if Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, knew about this... she probably wouldn't remain silent anymore and would come straight to you."

"Huh?" Jason was stunned. "Why?"

"Because at the next gathering of the gods, the goddess of beauty... will not be the center of attention of all the male gods." Athena replied with a smile.

Because the beauty brought by this mask is an unknown area for most people in this world!

The face hidden under the light golden mask is not completely invisible, and it can be seen that this is a beautiful goddess.

But because it does play a concealing role, it appears to be looming.

This will naturally give people an impulse, an impulse to pull it off and take a look at the gorgeous face under the mask!

So now it's easy to imagine what would happen if Hephaestus showed up at the next gathering of the gods.

So who will the male gods focus their attention on at that moment...

"what?"

At this moment, Jason naturally noticed Hecate beside Athena and was stunned: "Teacher Hecate...when did you come?"

Hecate did not speak, but looked at Hephaestus at this moment, with the mask on her face.

I recall the scene of Jason making this mask...

"He has put in a lot of hard work to bring you this tribute," Hecate said lightly.

"I know." Hephaestus replied with a gentle smile, "I am the God of Craftsmen. I can naturally sense how much effort this child has put into this seemingly simple mask."

"Well, it's actually not as good as you teachers say." Jason shook his head and said, "After all, it's not even a divine weapon... I even asked Sister Fire Spirit for help, added the Eternal Flame, and asked Goddess Athena for help.

But in the end... Sorry, teacher, I still haven't created the artifact."

Jason couldn't help but look a little depressed when he said this.

"No, you've done a good job."

Hephaestus looked at Jason, grabbed his hand, and said with such tenderness, "This is the best gift for me! As for the artifact... don't worry, teacher, I believe you will forge it one day."

"Well! By that time, I will definitely forge a better gift for you, teacher."

"Well, I'll wait for you." Hephaestus looked at Jason softly and said, "Because only you can take off my mask... From now on, I will only wear the mask you made for me."

After saying that...

"Cough!" Hecate coughed violently, interrupting their conversation. "Jason, starting tomorrow, come to the underworld every day!"

"......ah?"

Jason was stunned and looked at Hecate in confusion.

"Do you still remember why you became my disciple?"

"Well, I'll learn magic from Teacher Hecate..."

"So what's the result now? ...You're like this, and you still dare to call yourself my student, Hecate? From now on, come down here every day to study!"

"oh oh......"

Jason replied in confusion. He really wanted to say, wasn't it you who kicked him out and told him to come out of the mountains...

“Learning is not something that happens overnight.”

At this moment, Hephaestus suddenly spoke up and said, "Jason is young to begin with. There's no need for him to come to you every day from now on, right?"

"But his sister Medea is younger than him and can already graduate." Hecate said lightly.

"That's a bloodline issue..."

"But he is my Hecate's apprentice!"

Hearing this, Hephaestus couldn't help but laugh, looking at Hecate and said: "Since you feel this way... then from today on, this child belongs to me, and you don't have to worry about it anymore, how about it?

Aren't you calling him an evil disciple every day, wishing he'd leave you alone and stop bothering you? "

As soon as Hephaestus finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became quiet.

After the two stared at each other in silence for a while, Hecate finally spoke, expressionless, "Isn't he a wicked disciple? ... Jason, tell me yourself, are you a wicked disciple?"

"Yes Yes!"

At this moment, Jason finally realized that the atmosphere was not right and nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes, teacher, you are right. I am a bad disciple, a student who is not doing well!"

Seeing this, Athena, who was hiding nearby and secretly watching the show, finally couldn't hold back her laughter and burst out laughing.

Then Athena was met with Jason's resentment. Seeing this, Athena couldn't help but smile and stood up, ending the farce.

"Alright, alright, you two teachers, stop arguing now... If you really want to argue, wait until this is over."

"Something? What's the matter?" Hecate looked at Athena, frowned, and asked, "My evil disciple, has he caused trouble again?"

Hephaestus glanced at Hecate who said this and was about to speak, but when he turned his head, he saw Jason who was weak, pitiful, helpless and confused.

His heart softened and he stopped confronting Hecate.

"It's an old question... Jason, have you forgotten who the goddess you originally believed in was?"

Athena said, trying very hard to hold back her laughter.

"The goddess you originally believed in? Haven't I always believed in Teacher Hecate?" Jason looked at Hecate and said cautiously.

Hearing this, although Hecate didn't say anything, Jason could feel that her aura had softened slightly...

So what's going on?

Why is Teacher Hecate so angry today?

And the same goes for Teacher Hephaestus, why is it like this... Aren’t they usually on good terms?

Oh my god, it’s so hard for me!

"Hey, hey, hey, that's really irresponsible of you. ...Have you forgotten the goddess who brought you to Chiron? Oh, and speaking of that, Hera never revealed her true appearance to you..."

Hearing this, Jason and Hecate, who had been stunned for a moment, reacted at the same time.

"Hera...it's her?" Hecate frowned and asked, "What's going on? Did you let something slip?"

"No, we didn't let anything slip... And this time, the person she wants to meet isn't actually Jason."

Athena smiled mischievously at Jason and said, "It's the great hero dressed in white, with blond hair and blue eyes, riding a Pegasus—Hercules!"

Chapter 3.5: Athena: How about I become your teacher? (k)

Hera wants to see Hercules...what does that have to do with me, Jason?

"If it were possible to have Hercules replace you, I would have done so long ago... In fact, I also secretly gave Hercules an oracle, asking him not to reveal your affairs."

Athena seemed to see through Jason's thoughts and said to him, "But unfortunately, although Hercules did not expose you, Hera, the Queen of Heaven, went to Hercules herself and confirmed that he was not you..."

Now, after some investigation, she has learned that we all know the Hercules in white, so this time she specifically asked to see you!"

When Jason heard this, he looked a little depressed and helpless.

But not very surprised.

Because he had anticipated this day... long before he knew that Ares, the god of war, was sent by Hera to investigate Hercules in White.

Jason had already prepared for the worst!

After all, Jason was aware of what he had done along the way...If he wasn't, he wouldn't have put all the blame on Hercules.

After doing so many things, especially those concerning Lamia and Io, it was impossible not to attract Hera's attention.

It can be said that if Jason had not been busy all the time, he would have had almost no free time.

He would never sit still and wait for death when encountering problems, and he had wanted to deal with this matter a long time ago!

"It seems...I can only go to see the goddess Hera, the queen of heaven."

Compared to three years ago, Jason is undoubtedly much calmer now... although he still feels in his heart that gods are troublesome and should never be dealt with unless necessary.

But after this period of time, Jason finally got used to it.

Also, compared to three years ago, Jason is probably still just a mortal ant in the eyes of the gods of Olympus.

But there is no doubt that he has become an ant that can bite people when he gets angry!

Besides, Jason now even knows about the Sword of God Slayer. Compared to it, meeting Hera naturally doesn't seem so scary.

"That's what I just said to Hephaestus... I originally planned to have Hephaestus take you to Hera and confess your identity... but now I suddenly feel that there's no need."

Athena said this, taking in Hephaestus's appearance at the moment, especially the new mask she was wearing, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Letting Hecate and Jason go to see Hera would naturally be like lighting a barrel of explosives, the kind that would actually explode with a bang.

But if Hephaestus and Jason were to go see Hera, there would be a lot of room for maneuver. And because of what happened in the past, Hera was actually a little afraid of Hephaestus. Her child...

But now, there is no need for this for the time being.

"Isn't that necessary?"

Jason looked at Athens in confusion, then followed her gaze to look at Hephaestus, looked at the mask she was wearing, and after a moment of silence, his expression gradually revealed a look of realization.

"Goddess Athena, do you want me to... wear a mask and go see the Queen of Heaven, Goddess Hera?"

"Smart!" Athena reached out and pinched Jason's cheek, smiling, "And not only do you have to wear a mask, you also have to go to see Hera as Hephaestus's student, Hercules, and not as Jason!"

Hearing this, Hephaestus and Hecate were both stunned.

"This...isn't this a lie? How could Hera not know?" Hephaestus was a little puzzled.

"Of course, that's not a lie," Hecate said, realizing what Athena meant. "Because he is indeed the white-robed Heracles who rides a Pegasus... the one who did so many things and left behind the name Hephaestus!"

As for how Queen Hera could not see through Jason's face under the mask, that is even simpler.

The mask could be made by Hephaestus, which would certainly prevent Hera from seeing Jason's true appearance.

At the same time, Hera knew Jason when he was a child, but Jason has grown up now, and they have not met during this period!

After Hephaestus and Hecate understood Athena's thoughts, they couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Although there are some risks, this is definitely better than directly confessing his identity to Hera... After all, Jason can't leave Hecate and go into Hera's arms.

Hera lost face because of this incident and was secretly ridiculed by the gods. The only way to regain her face was to severely punish Jason or take Jason back... If that happened, the trouble would be too big!

So after agreeing to this suggestion, when Hephaestus and Hecate looked up again, they saw Athena pinching Jason's face and teasing the helpless Jason...

Seeing how close they were, Hephaestus and Hecate did the same thing almost at the same time.

They attacked together, one person grabbed one shoulder and pulled it back.

Athena was stunned when she saw this, and Jason was also stunned.

Hephaestus and Hecate were also stunned at the same time.
