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!
"His shadow is behind the Persephone incident."
Perhaps sensing Jason's confusion, Hecate replied calmly, "Otherwise, Athena wouldn't have intervened, and your progress wouldn't have been so smooth... Who would truly accept the result of the lottery? The King of Gods is just giving Hades some face."
Therefore, after you complete this task, both Pluto and the God King will have a favorable impression of you."
After Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon defeated the previous generation of gods, their status was obtained by drawing lots.
Zeus was given the sky and became the king of gods, Poseidon was given the sea and became the king of the sea, and Hades was given the underworld and became the king of the underworld.
It is obvious that Poseidon and Hades cannot be completely indifferent to their status, especially Hades who is in charge of the underworld where there is no sunlight forever.
Zeus naturally knew that his two brothers were dissatisfied with him, so behind the scenes of Persephone becoming the Queen of the Underworld, Zeus was actually secretly fanning the flames!
Hecate only spoke briefly and did not tell Jason too much. After all, knowing too much is not a good thing.
"So if you want to become immortal, you're not completely without opportunities after this incident... I understand your purpose in becoming my disciple, and becoming immortal is one of your options."
After hearing Hecate's words, Jason fell silent.
He knew that what Hecate said was right. Hiding in an uninhabited paradise would give him a chance to live a peaceful life and escape the fate he would encounter as Jason.
But becoming an immortal being can also change everything!
Seeing Jason silent, Hecate continued, "You don't need to think too much now. Just learn magic from me first... Since you have become my disciple, I will not let you leave unless I am satisfied. After all, you have to cooperate with my experiments.
Oh, by the way, do you remember that I asked you to help me complete a task?
"Yes, I remember." Jason, who was thinking, nodded.
"Well... it seems that you don't know. Even if you knew, you might not come to me." Hecate stared at Jason for a while. After realizing something, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she thought of Medea's expectant eyes, she finally... gave up.
"Forget it, I don't want to bother with you guys. You can deal with your own future!"
Chapter 23 The First Story
She is the Triple Goddess of Chance, the Goddess of Magic, and the Goddess of Hell.
She is known as the irresistible god of death, the queen who cannot be defeated or surpassed by anyone.
She is a special existence. She belongs neither to the sky, the ocean nor the underworld, but she has a very high status everywhere.
She is Hecate!
When Jason's first journey was about to come to an end, Hecate appeared.
Although the test given to Jason did not bring about the final result, in Hecate's heart, she has actually recognized Jason.
Acknowledged, he is his student.
Because she has been watching silently in the dark.
From the original underworld, the Lower Styx has been tempered by the eternal flames of the underworld until now.
Hecate saw everything Jason went through.
Therefore, even at the beginning, Jason was left behind only for experimental purposes, and Jason was found only because of Medea.
But now, she has admitted and recognized Jason!
"Mr. Hecate, are you leaving?"
Just as Hecate finished her story and stood up to leave, Jason noticed it and looked up, subconsciously asking her.
Hecate was about to nod when she met Jason's eyes. Seeing Jason, who was still young and had such an innocent face, after a brief hesitation, she sighed and said, "Forget it, the teacher won't leave today. I'll accompany you."
As she spoke, Hecate touched Jason's head.
Jason, on the other hand, was a little confused about this.
Hey, teacher, why didn’t you leave suddenly?
Although he thought so in his heart, Jason naturally did not dare to say it out loud.
So tonight, Hecate held Jason in her arms, leaned against the golden-horned deer, closed her eyes, and rested all night by the fire.
The next day, when the sun shone on Jason, who had fallen asleep late last night, opened his eyes and Hecate had naturally left.
Leaning on the golden-horned deer, Jason stood there in a daze for a while.
"Sister Lu, you said that the teacher... why did she suddenly give me the feeling that she was more reliable? Is this just my illusion?"
The golden-horned deer glanced at Jason without saying anything.
She just called out softly twice, licked his face with her tongue, and urged him to set off quickly.
"Okay, okay, Sister Lu, stop licking me. I'll get up and wash my face and then we'll leave!" Jason got up and after a brief thought, he shook his head to get rid of all the mess in his head.
Although I don’t know what happened to Hecate, it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing.
"The future, and even becoming immortal, is still a bit far off for me right now... Anyway, my top priority right now is to find Persephone and learn magic from Teacher Hecate!"
So with this thought in mind, Jason embarked on his final journey with the golden-horned deer temporarily borrowed by the moon goddess Artemis.
Now he has the protection of Hecate, the goddess of opportunity, the guidance of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, the sword of Apollo, the god of light, and the mount of Artemis, the goddess of the moon.
Jason's subsequent journey became unusually smooth.
Jason, riding on the golden-horned deer, almost never encountered interception from others.
After all, no one would be stupid enough to intercept Jason riding a tall golden-horned deer. Many people in this world know this, especially the hunters traveling through the woods.
The golden-horned deer is the favorite of Artemis, the great goddess of the moon and hunting!
Soon, the news of a young man in white clothes, with blond hair and blue eyes, riding a golden-horned deer began to spread rapidly among the hunters.
A few days later, Atalanta, who had returned home, was questioned by her uncle and her colleagues from the hunter team who had come to join in the fun because of this incident!
A young man in white clothes, with blond hair and blue eyes... It's only been a few days, how could they forget Jason?
And obviously they were all very curious about why the hunting goddess Artemis gave the golden-horned deer to Jason.
Atalanta didn't want to answer at first, but after hearing how Jason was favored by Artemis, she couldn't help herself.
"That's not a gift, it's just a temporary loan. Lady Artemis lent it to him temporarily, and it was my suggestion!"
"He is not favored by Lady Artemis. He has no such qualifications! So stop talking nonsense about being favored by Lady Artemis. Be careful of being punished by Artemis!"
"What is he doing?... He seems to be carrying an oracle. I can't tell you the details, but this wasn't given to him by Lady Artemis... Although it has a little connection with Lady Artemis, it seems to be more related to the goddess Hecate!"
"Hmm? Besides Lady Artemis, is there anyone else here... I think Lady Apollo is here too, and then there's Lady Goddess Athena..."
Atalanta originally intended to explain the relationship between Jason and Artemis, but under the bombardment of questions, Atalanta unknowingly said a little more.
By the time Atalanta realized what was happening, it was already too late.
Thus, the original story gradually began to spread among the hunters.
He was a young boy wearing white clothes, as white as snow.
He has short golden hair and holy blue eyes.
He carries the oracle of God on his body and has to do a great thing on behalf of God!
Although he is young, he has a handsome face that is not inferior to the great god of light Apollo, so even the great god of light Apollo dotes on him!
Lord Apollo, the God of Light, even gave him a golden sword. No one, not even ferocious beasts, could survive from that sword!
Even the wisest goddess of wisdom, Athena, pointed the way for him.
Artemis, the goddess of the moon and hunting, also gave him her favorite golden-horned deer.
And that young man's name was Jason!
After seeing the news spread completely, Atalanta realized that the situation was irreversible, so she prayed to Artemis with tears in her eyes and sought forgiveness.
Artemis didn't care, and since Atalanta was his most beloved believer, he naturally forgave her.
Afterwards, what made Atalanta speechless was her uncle and the hunters who had led Jason for a period of time that day.
For a long time after that, he looked very proud and whenever he caught someone, he would tell them that he had led the team for Jason!
Is this something to be proud of?
If you think about it carefully, this is actually something that would make ordinary people proud.
