The nymphs who served the goddess greeted him with a smile, skillfully led the Pegasus, and took Jason into the magnificent temple.
"Little Jason, you are finally here."
The nymph Eunice led the way and said softly, "Goddess Demeter instructed me to wait for you outside the door for several days."
"I'm sorry, Fairy Eunice." Jason apologized, "I should have come earlier, but something happened on the way, so I was delayed..."
"It's okay, I'm fine."
Fairy Eunice smiled and said, "Even the goddess Demeter asks me every day, 'Little Jason, why haven't you come yet?' Little Jason, you are truly favored by the goddess Demeter."
"Really? ...It seems I was too hasty. I should have brought Medea with me."
Jason muttered softly, thinking of his senior sister who had recently settled in the temple without him noticing.
Not long after, the nymph Eunice brought Jason to a courtyard.
Jason looked up and saw Demeter, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had beautiful golden hair like Persephone. She was sitting with several gods and nymphs, talking about something.
Eunice asked Jason to wait for a moment and then went up to Demeter.
After leaning down and saying a few words, the expression on Demeter's face changed visibly to joy, and she immediately turned her head to explore in the direction of Jason.
Their eyes met and Jason smiled at her.
......
"Godmother Demeter, what are you talking about?"
After the gods left together, Jason and Demeter walked in the corridor. Jason, who was looking for a topic, asked curiously.
"They're talking about you, little Jason." Demeter chuckled and said, "They came to me specifically because of the wedding, hoping to meet you, little Jason."
Demeter saw Jason's expression change subtly, and then added, "But don't worry, I didn't tell them you were little Jason... because you didn't want to see them, right?"
"Well, that... because this time I'm here to see you, my godmother, Demeter." Facing Demeter's smile that seemed to see through something, Jason lowered his head slightly and looked away.
The more times you come into contact and the longer you spend together, the more likely it is that flaws will appear.
"Oh, little Jason is so good!" Hearing this heart-warming answer, Demeter couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Jason's cheek.
If it were in the past, she would have been more inclined to touch Jason's head.
But before we knew it, that cute little boy had grown into a handsome and dashing young man.
......
A few days passed,
Jason stayed in the Temple of Demeter for a few more days. Before dawn today, when he was about to sneak back to his room from the laboratory, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Demeter standing in front of the door with her eyes narrowed, waiting for him for a long time.
"Godmother Demeter..."
Jason lowered his head with an expression that said, "I was wrong."
"Didn't I tell you to go to bed at night?!"
Demeter seemed a little angry and said in a more serious tone, "This has happened for the umpteenth time, little Jason, you seem to be getting more and more disobedient lately!"
"Um, I'm so sorry... But it's okay if I don't sleep. It won't cause any harm to my body..."
"No, you should go to bed at night!" Demeter interrupted Jason and looked at the nymph Eunice beside her and said angrily, "And Eunice, didn't I ask you to keep an eye on him at night?"
"I'm sorry, great goddess Demeter..."
When Eunice knelt down hurriedly to pay her respects, Jason couldn't help but stand up and say, "Godmother Demeter, this is really not the fault of Fairy Eunice. It was actually me who made her drink the potion at night..."
"I know."
Demeter tilted her head to look at Jason, snorted softly, and said, "This is the first time I've ever known you, little Jason, to be quite courageous... I lifted up your blanket and took a look, and I didn't expect to see my maid Eunice!"
Seeing that Demeter seemed really angry now, Jason could only give an awkward but polite smile.
...Wait, Godmother Demeter, why are you pulling off my quilt so early?
Just when a hint of doubt emerged in Jason's heart.
Demeter, who was about to say a few more words to Jason, looked out the window and saw that the night was about to fade away and the first ray of sunlight at dawn was about to rise. Time was almost up.
So I can only put this matter aside for the time being.
“I’ll come back and teach you a lesson later…Now, follow me.
Remember that along the way, you cannot speak without my permission."
Although Jason was confused, he still followed Demeter.
Then Demeter, holding a candle in one hand, walked out of the temple with Jason and came to the ancient forest not far away.
Demeter walked in silence with the puzzled Jason until they arrived at a small pool before dawn.
The water in this pool is made up of the morning dew that Demeter has been collecting in small amounts since she returned home from the wedding.
And every day, Demeter would use her divine power to nurture the morning dew that represents new life.
At the same time, this is also the return gift that Demeter gave to Jason!
Demeter is the goddess of agriculture, the goddess of agriculture, grain and harvest in ancient Greek mythology.
Demeter taught humans how to farm and gave life to the earth.
She possesses boundless magical powers, which can make the land fertile, plants lush, and crops abundant, or she can make the earth wither, all things die, and no grass grow.
At the same time, she can make people have endless wealth, but she can also make people penniless.
There are three kinds of her symbols.
It represents the ears of wheat that are newly born, the sickle that represents withering, and the midas touch that represents wealth.
And the ears of wheat, Demeter and Persephone had been given to Jason and Medea.
The power to make the earth wither, all things die, and no grass grows is too dangerous, and Demeter does not want little Jason to obtain it.
As for the Midas Touch and wealth, Demeter could only say that it would be fine if Jason liked it.
Therefore, after thinking hard for a long time and consulting the goddess of wisdom Athena, Demeter decided to give Jason a gift of ability in return.
The ability to communicate with all living things in the world and to listen to all living things in the world!
Chapter 3: From now on, one step into the divine realm! (k)
"Little Jason is almost off."
"......Hmm?" Jason's eyes widened slightly as he looked at Demeter who suddenly whispered to him.
"This is my gift to you. Come in."
Jason finally reacted as Demeter pointed to the small pool of morning dew in front of him.
Just now, for a moment, Jason was at a loss as he thought of some bad things...
Then Jason looked at Demeter who was staring at him, hesitated for a moment, and ran to the side with a slightly red face and hid in the grass.
Demeter couldn't help but smile at this.
After the rustling sound, Jason poked his head out and looked at Demeter.
"What are you standing there for? Come out." Demeter said to Jason who was blinking.
"Um...Godmother Demeter, could you please step aside for a moment?"
Jason finally couldn't help it and spoke out.
Demeter was speechless, then looked at the sky which was already slightly bright, whispered a pity in her heart, and turned around.
Jason finally breathed a sigh of relief and jumped into the water at an extremely fast speed.
But not long after jumping into the water, Jason was dumbfounded.
Because this small pool of water, formed by the morning dew, is extremely clear and does not contain any impurities, it cannot have any obstructive effect at all...
"...Little Jason, you have really grown up." Just when Jason was a little flustered, Demeter suddenly said this.
Jason looked up and saw Demeter looking at him with admiration. The most important thing was that she was nodding as she looked at him...
Just when Jason was at a loss as to what to do, he saw Demeter bending down and putting down the lantern in her hand... Eh?
Jason's eyes widened again, and he looked at Demeter who stood up and put her hands on her embroidered skirt. His heartbeat instantly quickened. He didn't know if it was because of fear or for some other reason... In short, what Jason thought did not happen in the end.
Demeter did not take off her clothes and go into the water. She just took out a golden knife, pointed it at her left wrist, and gently cut it.
In an instant, divine blood flowed out from her hands and merged into the pool.
"Godmother Demeter!" Jason exclaimed with relief, but also surprise and worry.
"It's okay." Demeter felt Jason's concern and smiled at him.
At the same time, when Demeter smiled, the bright red blood turned into gold.
As the golden blood flowed out, a look of fatigue appeared on Demeter's face.
Then, after Demeter's blood flowed into the small pool, the clear water immediately turned a light golden color and began to boil.
Then Jason felt the heat... As the pool turned golden, Jason felt it getting hotter and hotter!
You should know that Jason has a strong ability to resist heat, after all, his body has been tempered by the eternal fire of the underworld.
"Athena said that it would be enough for me to help you gain the power to hear everything... but if that's all, wouldn't the gift I give you as your godmother be too shabby?
and......"
Demeter muttered as she looked at Jason, whose brows were furrowed, and then the corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she said, "Now, you are truly my child!"
As she spoke, Demeter bent down and placed her cut hand into the pool, and gradually the pool was dyed with real gold.
At the same time, when the pool turned golden, the grass and trees around the pool began to grow wildly.
At the same time, Jason felt an increasing heat.
At this moment, Jason felt as if he was burning in flames, and his body gradually became extremely itchy, as if it was gradually falling off, making Jason feel extremely uncomfortable.
After an unknown amount of time, Jason lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he found himself lying on Demeter's legs.
And at this time, the sky had already brightened, and the midday sun shone through the dense leaves and onto Jason's body.
Demeter, who was stroking his head, noticed Jason's movement, lowered her head, looked into his golden eyes, and after a moment, chuckled and said, "Awake?"
"Hmm...hmm." Jason nodded somewhat bewilderedly.
After a while, when Jason gradually regained consciousness, he hurriedly propped himself up from Demeter's legs.
"Hey, this guy is awake."
"Yes, yes, he has been lying on the goddess' body for the whole morning. It is such an honor."
Jason suddenly heard a strange voice above his head.
I looked up subconsciously, but didn't see anyone, just two little birds...
"Did you hear that...it seems you did."
Demeter noticed Jason's reaction, looked up with him, and gave Jason a gentle smile.
"Come down."
Then Demeter stood up and held out her hand to the two birds.
Two little birds obediently flew down from above and landed in Demeter's hands. They also said to Demeter respectfully, "Respected Goddess!"
"......Eh?"
"This is my return gift to you."
Sensing Jason's confusion, Demeter chuckled and said to him, "From now on, you will be able to hear the sounds of all things in the world... Listen carefully, child, they are all greeting you."
Hearing Demeter's words, Jason subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction Demeter was looking.
Soon, the sounds around him reached Jason's ears.
"Hello, child." Now, even the big tree that provided shade for Jason sent greetings to Jason.
Just as Jason was processing the information in front of him in a daze, he heard a soft cry, and the Pegasus flapped its holy wings and came in front of Jason.
