But when Atalanta thought of Jason and the look of disgust on her face...
Atalanta was so angry about this!
'You two will meet again one day'...At the same time, Atalanta remembered what Artemis said to her with a smile when she left.
Atalanta secretly made up her mind!
Just wait, Jason, there is no winner between us. When we meet next time, I will let you know that I am stronger and faster than you!
Jason did not know about this for a long time.
Because after having the company of the golden-horned deer, Jason almost never went to any market to avoid unnecessary trouble.
And not long after leaving Artemis, Atalanta and the others, about a week later, Jason reached the end of his journey.
Chapter 24: Finally Arrived at the Destination
A week later,
Following the direction of the compass given to him by Athena, Jason, sitting on the golden-horned deer, came to the foot of a mountain again and was about to cross it.
"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." A god who had been waiting here for a long time walked out from the shade of a tree.
He was wearing a feather hat, a short-sleeved tunic, and holding a staff in his hand. He looked like a handsome blond young man.
Looking at him coming out, Jason was stunned for a moment, looked around, and then pointed at himself.
The man smiled and said, "You are wearing the divine robe woven for you by Athena herself, carrying Apollo's sword, and riding Artemis' golden-horned stag... I think you must be Hecate's child, Jason, am I right?"
Hearing this, Jason's expression changed slightly.
Then he quickly signaled the golden-horned deer to come down and saluted the man respectfully, while muttering silently in his heart.
Didn’t we agree that we wouldn’t meet other gods?
"No need to be so reserved... Let me introduce myself. My name is Hermes."
Hermes...Messenger of the gods, Hermes, messenger of Zeus!
Jason reacted instantly.
"I'm here because congratulations, kid, you've made it to the finish line."
Hermes smiled as he spoke to Jason, then turned to look at the mountains before him and said, "Persephone is imprisoned in this temple high on the mountain!"
end?
Jason was stunned for a moment and looked up at the mountain.
"But even though you've reached the end, kid, you can't just go in like this."
Hermes then said to Jason, "Although Athena, Apollo, and Artemis have taken Demeter away from here, Demeter has already placed spies on this mountain... To be more precise, all the plants on this mountain are her spies!
So, child, if you barge in rashly, not only will you fail to rescue Persephone, but you will also be in great danger!"
Hearing this, Jason's expression became serious.
"But I'm here to help you solve your problem."
As Hermes spoke, he gently tapped the ground with the staff in his hand, and a black helmet appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"This is the invisible helmet that Hades gave me. Wear it and no one in this world will be able to detect your presence... When you're done using it, return it to Hades yourself."
As he said this, Hermes threw the invisibility helmet to Jason.
After Jason received it, he felt that the helmet was extremely heavy... although it had no weight at all and was lighter than a feather.
But this belongs to Hades, the invisibility helmet of Hades!
"Also, the temple where Persephone is located is in danger, so..."
Hermes tapped the ground again, and a pair of winged shoes appeared in his hands.
"These are my flying shoes. You can use them to fly over any dangerous place in the mountains."
"At the same time, two terrifying beasts live at the temple gate, guarding Persephone. Therefore, you should take this scepter as well. Remember that sleep has a time limit. After all, you are not me and cannot use its full power.
Therefore, you must find Persephone and bring her out before you can use it to put the guarding beast to sleep."
Flying boots and a magic wand that makes people fall asleep are all well-known artifacts of Hermes... To be more precise, they are his companion artifacts!
So when Jason took both of them, after holding the helmet of Hades, he swallowed and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Master Hermes, this..."
Jason looked at Hermes with tears in his eyes.
"Come on, kid."
Hermes smiled and patted Jason's shoulder. "The great king of gods, Zeus, is watching you... Oh, right."
As if on cue, Hermes leaned down and said to Jason, "If you can accomplish this, then the matter of the sacred fire is not completely off the table! ...Although I can't just give it to you that easily."
After saying this, Hermes stood up and patted Jason's shoulder again with a smile.
Um... Actually, I don't really want to become immortal. I just want to live peacefully...
Jason's lips moved slightly. He felt that the gods seemed to have misunderstood him. He didn't actually have to become immortal!
But after hesitating for a while, Jason finally said nothing.
At this moment, perhaps sensing Jason's tiredness, the golden-horned deer called softly and bumped into Jason.
And the look he gave Jason revealed worry.
"It's okay...I'm fine, Lu Jie."
Feeling the golden-horned deer's concern for him, Jason felt a warm current in his heart, and he smiled and touched the golden-horned deer.
Then he turned and looked at Hermes, took a deep breath and said, "I understand, Master Hermes. Don't worry, I will definitely bring Master Persephone out!"
There is no way I should not bring it with me. Zeus, the king of gods, and Hades, the god of the underworld, have both brought their invisibility helmets. What choice do I have?
"Well, that's the kind of momentum we need!" Hermes patted Jason and said with a smile, "Go ahead, young man. The gods will bless you!"
No, I think I'd better forget about this... Dear Gods, you'd better, no, please treat me as a nobody!
After Jason finished complaining in his mind, he turned to the golden-horned deer and said, "Sister Deer, please wait here for me for a while... Don't worry, I will be back soon!"
After saying this, Jason put the invisible helmet on his head.
The moment he put it on, even Hermes, the messenger of the gods, could not know where Jason was!
He could only vaguely determine the location through the companion artifact he placed on Jason.
So, holding Hermes' magic wand, wearing Hermes' flying shoes, and wearing the invisible helmet secretly given by Hades, Jason stepped towards his final destination!
Then, guided by the pointer given by Athena, after spending a whole day, it came to the dark night when everything was silent.
Jason finally arrived at the temple.
As Hermes said, this temple was built in a dangerous place to prevent Persephone from escaping secretly.
So Jason used his flying shoes to fly over various swamps and dangerous places and arrived at the gate of the temple.
At the gate of the temple, there were two terrifying beasts several meters tall squatting.
After Jason landed gently, they seemed to have sensed something and looked in Jason's direction.
But under the power of the invisible helmet, after sniffing for a long time, they thought it was an illusion and continued to lie down.
Seeing this, Jason's heart, which had been beating unsteadily and violently, slowly calmed down.
He licked his dry lips and took a cautious step. After finding that they did not respond, Jason took a step and walked into the temple.
Then he entered the magnificent temple, continuing to hold the guide given to him by Athena. After passing one fairy after another walking in the temple and serving the gods, Jason finally arrived in a room of the temple.
Found the goddess sitting there alone, Persephone!
Chapter 25 Congratulations, you are completely targeted!
Jason, holding Athena's compass, walked lightly around Persephone several times. Seeing that the compass was always pointing at Persephone, Jason was sure that the beautiful woman with blonde hair and golden eyes in front of him was Persephone!
Then Jason looked around and waited patiently for more than ten minutes to make sure that the nymphs outside the room would not come in easily.
Because anyone with a discerning eye could see that Persephone was not in a very good mood.
Wearing a light yellow long dress, she always sighed secretly as she looked at the scenery outside the temple through the window.
After observing for a while, Jason made up his mind and began to call out to Persephone softly: "Lady Persephone...Lady Persephone, can you hear me?"
"Huh?" Persephone suddenly heard someone calling her, and subconsciously looked around. Just when she was confused.
"Lord Persephone, I am Hecate's student. My teacher has asked me to help you. I am wearing the invisibility helmet that Lord Hades has temporarily loaned me. Could you please pretend you know nothing and close the door?"
Hearing Jason's words, Persephone was slightly stunned. When she heard the names of Hecate and Hades, a hint of excitement flashed across her eyes, and then the excitement turned into joy. After nodding slightly in silence, she got up and closed the door.
"I'm going to rest now. Remember, you are absolutely not allowed to come in without my order. Do you understand?"
"Yes, the honorable goddess Persephone."
The nymphs, elves and minor goddesses transformed from nature, naturally dared not disobey Persephone.
Although Demeter had sternly instructed Apollo, the god of light, Artemis, the goddess of moon, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, to guard Persephone well before she left to meet them.
But of course they didn't know that someone had actually sneaked in!
And as Persephone closed the door and released her divine power to cover the area, she didn't need to speak.
Jason was very sensible and immediately took off Hades' invisible helmet. After revealing his true face, he immediately bowed to Persephone.
"Your Excellency, Lady Persephone, Jason, Hecate's worthless student, is honored to meet you!"
"...No need to be so restrained, kid."
Persephone looked at the young Jason in front of her, and a hint of surprise naturally flashed in her eyes.
"Your teacher and I are very good friends... huh?"
Persephone, who was speaking, looked at Jason briefly and was stunned for a moment. She said, "Besides Hecate, why do you also have the aura of Athena, Apollo, Artemis, and Hermophy?"
"My Lord Persephone, the clothes I wear were given to me by the great goddess of wisdom, Athena, and she has always been the one to show me the way.
The golden sword on me was lent to me by Apollo, the great god of light. It is because of it that I can cut off all obstacles on my way.
The great moon goddess Artemis lent me the golden-horned deer, and it was thanks to it that I was able to travel across mountains and rivers from Arcadia to here.
In the end, the great Lord Helmerphy brought me the invisibility helmet of Lord Hades, the god of the underworld, and lent me flying shoes and magic wand, so that I could pass through the sight of your great mother, Lady Demeter.
After overcoming dangers, I finally arrived in front of you."
Hearing Jason's words, Persephone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"And now, the great god of light, Apollo, has covered the light, the great moon goddess, Artemis, has covered the moonlight, and the great goddess of wisdom, Athena, has told Lady Demeter not to notice what's happening here for the time being.
Please, Lady Persephone, put on Hades' helmet, put on your flying shoes, take your magic wand and leave these mountains.
Lady Artemis's golden-horned deer and Lord Hermes will be waiting for you outside."
After hearing this, just as Persephone gradually came to her senses, she looked at the boy in front of her who was handing her the things, and she couldn't help but ask, "Then I'll leave, what about you?"
"Lady Persephone, don't worry about me, for I am a student of Hecate." After saying that, Jason took out a feather from the underworld that emitted dark light from the bag given to him by Athena.
That was exactly what Hecate gave him when he set out.
Seeing this, Persephone took the three artifacts from Jason's hands.
Before leaving, looking at the young boy in front of her, Persephone couldn't help but ask, "Child, will we meet again?"
"Of course, your honorable Lady Persephone." Jason nodded with a smile on his face.
Of course we will meet. I am still waiting for you to help me temper my soul with the underworld fire!
"Well, Jason... I will definitely thank you after this is over, brave boy."
Persephone looked at Jason deeply for a while, expressed her gratitude, then went to the window, put on Hades' invisibility helmet, put on her flying shoes, and flew out.
Jason couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the invisible Persephone flying away from the window.
Yeah, come to think of it, why did I choose to go through the main entrance... And Lady Persephone, why do I feel like you're quite experienced...
Jason shook his head and got rid of these thoughts, then went to the torch that was lit to illuminate the night and lit the feather given to him by Hecate.
