Chapter 21: Teacher, how long will it take for Jason to come?
then,
Five days later.
Jason walked out of the mountains that blocked his path.
Accompanied by the moon goddess Artemis, Jason did not encounter any trouble along the way, but there were some differences from his time with Apollo.
When Apollo was with him, he raised his golden bow and arrow and protected Jason, who hardly moved a muscle.
However, most of the monsters and beasts encountered along the way were defeated by Atalanta and Jason together.
What Artemis did most was to sit on the golden-horned deer and watch with interest the battles between the two men as they gradually became proficient in each other. She would occasionally go out to hunt some prey that interested her.
"it is finally over."
After they walked out of the mountains, before Jason could say anything, Atalanta immediately looked relieved.
During this period, Atalanta was almost always in a state of mental tension. After all, all the hunters had left, leaving her as the only guide.
And most importantly, it was under the eyes of Artemis.
Looking at Atalanta like this, and recalling her care over the past few days, Jason hesitated for a moment, but still thanked her: "Thank you for troubling you during this time, Atalanta."
Atalanta glanced at Jason and said, "It's okay. I'm not doing this for you, but for Lady Artemis!"
Hearing this, Jason smiled and then came to Artemis, who had just hopped down from the golden-horned deer. He bowed to her and said, "I express my deepest gratitude to you, Lady Artemis."
"I've told you many times that there's no need to be so restrained, little Jason."
Artemis smiled and patted Jason's head, then pinched his face to show her displeasure. She puffed her lips slightly and said, "You are Hecate's child, and you are good friends with little Atalanta. You must listen to me."
Who is good friends with him?
Atalanta opened her mouth, but she obviously would not yell at the goddess she believed in, so after hesitating for a moment, she said nothing.
"I've been very happy during this time... Ah, if it weren't for the fact that you still have to continue your journey, I would really like to keep you two by my side and play with you for a while."
Artemis said, a look of regret on her face.
But upon hearing this, Jason and Atalanta both had a few black lines on their foreheads.
No, we don't want to!
After saying this with regret, Artemis put her finger on her cheek, tilted her head slightly, looked at Jason, thought for a moment, and said, "So now, what should I give you? ... Hecate gives you protection, Athena gives you the direction to move forward, and Apollo gives you the sword to kill danger.
Now, what should I give you?"
Hmm...did I just hear some amazing name?
Jason blinked and looked at Artemis who tilted his head in thought, completely unaware that he had inadvertently sold someone out, even though Athena had repeatedly told her not to make a sound.
After thinking for a while, Jason shut up.
Well, forget it, just pretend I didn’t hear it!
But...it turns out it's Athena, the goddess of wisdom...
Just when Jason suddenly realized who the goddess he had met for the first time was, the one wearing a white dress, with silver hair and golden eyes, who made clothes for him.
When Atalanta heard the name of the god called out by Artemis, her eyelids twitched.
Then he looked at Jason in front of him, who was wearing white clothes and had blond hair and blue eyes.
No sound.
After all, during these five days, she naturally knew that Jason was carrying the "oracle", but because this matter was still very important, even the somewhat naive Artemis did not reveal it to Atalanta.
"Hmm, that's so difficult... Little Atalanta, what do you think I should give to little Jason?"
After thinking for a while, Artemis rubbed her head and looked at Atalanta for help.
Of course it would be best to give nothing. How could this guy deserve any reward from you, Lady Artemis?
This was naturally Atalanta's first reaction.
"Artemis, you don't actually need to give me anything." Jason couldn't help but speak out.
Deep down, Jason didn't really want to deal with these gods, let alone accept their gifts.
After all, anyone with a basic understanding of Greek mythology would understand.
The Greek gods are so capricious!
In the last second he may admire you very much, hold you in the palm of his hand and bestow gifts on you.
But the next second he might hold a grudge against you for a small matter and bring down divine punishment on you!
Jason's current dealings with them are mainly due to his having no other options.
He wanted to learn from Hecate, and at the same time he asked Hecate for help, hoping that she could help him change his destiny. So he naturally had to complete what Hecate arranged, not to mention that the matter itself was closely related to him.
"No!" But Artemis refused to give in. "Let's not talk about Hecate, Athena and Apollo both gave you things. If I don't give you anything, wouldn't I be inferior to them?"
......Is there such a saying?
After hearing this, Jason didn't know what to say.
But the problem is that after listening to it, Atalanta nodded and thought it was right!
Artemis is no worse than any other god!
So Atalanta now began to think seriously about Artemis.
After a brief thought, Atalanta said to Artemis, "Honorable Goddess Artemis, Jason now has protection, direction, and a sharp blade, so I think he only needs... a mount!"
"Mount?" Artemis looked at Atalanta curiously.
"Yes." Atalanta nodded and said, "He has protection, direction, and a sharp blade. So, on his way forward, the most important thing he needs now is probably a mount!
Lead him through all kinds of dangers and reach his destination!"
After Atalanta finished speaking, not only Artemis, but even Jason felt that it seemed to be true.
Although he could buy a horse along the way, even the horse brother Chiron gave him died tragically at the hands of monsters. Therefore, if he bought a horse, he would just be delivering food to the monsters.
"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.
