Under these eyes, Jason felt as if he was completely seen through.
So in the end, the old woman smiled.
A kind smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
"No, kid...you're still wrong."
The old woman stood up and walked towards Jason with her cane. "And I have seen the answer in your eyes!"
“Maybe you think you’re on this journey for yourself, but that’s not the case.
From your eyes, I saw your resistance to God. You didn't want to have anything to do with God, but you... finally stood up.
My child, have you ever paid attention to your eyes?
The old woman came to Jason, reached out and gently stroked Jason’s cheek, and said with a smile: “Your eyes… are so beautiful!
You are not a selfish person. I see a pure heart in your eyes.
The real reason that prompted you to embark on this journey again is actually because of the kindness in your heart... Am I right?"
The old woman smiled kindly at Jason and said, “Now the earth is withering and everything is dying. In just these few days, countless lives have died in this disaster.
That's why you choose to embark on the journey immediately, even if you have to face gods you don't want to face, even if you have to face gods who are very likely to hurt you!
Because you have taken upon yourself the responsibility for this terrible disaster."
Jason opened his mouth. He really wanted to tell the old woman that it was not like that. He was really just doing it for himself. He was not so noble. This was something only a hero would do. Everything he did was to keep himself alive!
But under the old woman's loving gaze, Jason could say nothing.
Kindness? Responsibility? ...These are things that will definitely suffer losses.
Not to mention, this Age of Gods is such a dangerous and chaotic era!
Then... do you have one?
Probably... a little bit.
"I went to Demeter for my own sake... Old woman, you are wrong. I am not that noble."
Jason said this, lowering his head to the old man in front of him.
The old woman smiled and was not angry.
Then her appearance gradually changed, and her old and aged appearance quickly faded away and became younger.
Finally, a tall goddess wearing embroidered clothes and with brown hair reaching her waist appeared before Jason.
She took Jason's hand with a gentle smile on her face.
"Really... Then let's just leave it at that."
This person... No, it should be said that this god is not Athena.
Her name is Hestia!
Chapter 38 Athena: Jason, where have you been?
Hestia is the goddess of the hearth and home, and also the goddess of sacred fire.
He is also one of the twelve Olympian gods of Greece.
At the same time, she is the first child of the second generation of gods and queens, Kronos and Rhea, and the eldest sister of Demeter, Hades, Poseidon, Hera and Zeus!
Therefore, Hestia is the most sacred and ancient god on Mount Olympus, and her status is very high among the Olympian gods.
The king of gods Zeus gave the eldest sister extremely high power. She was the chief of the Olympian goddesses. Her status was no less than that of the queen of heaven Hera!
And when Jason learned Hestia's real name, he was naturally a little confused.
It’s great to meet an unexpected god again, and he’s the main god!
Now, in addition to Poseidon, the god of the sea, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, Ares, the god of war, and Hephaestus, the god of crafts.
I'm almost done collecting the achievements for meeting the gods of Olympus!
"I've actually always known about Demeter and Persephone's child and...Hades."
Holding Jason's hand, Hestia, graceful in her embroidered dress, whispered to him, "Although I am their eldest sister, this matter...is not something I can interfere with."
Although Hestia is the eldest sister of Zeus and others, she is still unmarried.
Together with her niece Athena and Artemis, she is regarded as the three virgin goddesses on Mount Olympus!
Of course, this does not mean that no one pursues her. On the contrary, she is quite popular. Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Apollo, the god of light, have both pursued her fiercely.
Even the king of gods, Zeus, secretly wanted to make a move on her...
Well, it's a really messy relationship, even though it's a daily routine for Greek gods.
But in the end, in order to avoid these troubles, Hestia eventually became a virgin goddess.
"But now... countless lives have died at the hands of Demeter. I can no longer sit idly by and watch things continue to unfold. So, after seeking out Hades, I came to you."
Hestia said, looking at Jason who was following her obediently, and said with a smile: “And you… obviously did not disappoint me.
I have seen many heroes in my life, but you, my child, are still so special.
Even though you have many disguises on your body, I can still see that your heart is so pure."
Hestia had a very high opinion of Jason, so high that Jason felt uncomfortable all over.
Am I so noble? ...How could I not know this?
Yes, Jason's main goal has always been for himself, to work hard to survive in this dangerous era.
But as a time traveler, as a college student who has experienced the influence of the future society and has only been in this world for about half a year.
His three views can be considered benign in this world!
Although he was able to kill his enemies, when he learned that he had taken Persephone away, causing the earth to wither and all things to die, and countless people to die, Jason's first thought was indeed how to make up for it.
When something happens, you can't just sit there and wait for it to happen. You have to take action immediately to solve it! ...This is why Jason set off.
However, the real reason that forced him to choose to attack in just a few days was that he had not conducted any careful and steady thinking and planning.
In fact, he understood that the longer he delayed, the more people would lose their lives because of this disaster!
This is the kindness that Hestia saw in Jason.
This is also the reason why Chiron, Hecate and others, after feeling strange about Jason's decision, simply chuckled and agreed.
So on this trip, congratulations to Jason for obtaining the tool - Hestia!
Although Jason flatly denied his kindness and felt that he was just a selfish villain, after all, only villains can cause harm for thousands of years.
Jason naturally had no reason to refuse Hestia's joining.
After all, Jason didn't dare to go see Demeter alone. Although his soul was protected by Hades and it was difficult for him to die, he could be imprisoned if he was immortal.
Then Hestia took Jason by the hand and led him out of the ancient forest and arrived at the seashore before sunset.
"Child, wait for me a moment." Hestia let go of Jason, touched his head, and then slowly walked towards the sea.
After placing her jade feet into the sea, Hestia began to call out, calling the man's name.
Poseidon... the king of the sea!
Soon, at Hestia's call, the calm sea began to churn, and in the sea, a burly man walked out of the ocean.
He held a trident in his hand, and his eyes were the color of the deep sea, just like the boundless ocean.
At this moment, Poseidon's expression was very surprised. He looked at Hestia and asked, "Sister, why are you here?"
"I'm here to borrow something from you." Hestia said to Poseidon, turning back to look at the man who was stiff and expressionless as he moved slowly into the darkness.
It's like you can't see me, you can't see my Jason.
"And there's a child I want to introduce to you...Come here, Jason."
...Lady Hestia, thank you so much!
Don't you already know that I'm not interested in gods?!
As the saying goes, whether Greece is in chaos or not depends on the Olympian gods.
If the upper beam was not crooked, the lower beam of the entire Greece would not be so crooked!
There is no need to explain the old pervert Zeus, and Poseidon is not much better than Zeus!
The only thing that made Jason feel a little comforted was that at least there was no mention of Poseidon being a homosexual in his life...but then, that's the character of Greek gods.
Oh, what a headache!
"Great Lord Poseidon, the God of the Sea..."
Helpless, Jason walked over and greeted Poseidon.
But what he didn't expect was that he had only said half of his words.
"Are you Jason?" Poseidon interrupted Jason, sizing him up with interest. He even walked over and circled around him twice, saying, "You're the one who abandoned Hera's faith and turned to Hecate, slapping her in the face?"
The gods had such a small circle of communication that naturally most of them knew about the prophecy of the three goddesses of fate.
But, being a hero is still fine, but slapping the Queen Hera in the face is such an interesting gossip!
Therefore, most gods now remember the name Jason.
When Jason heard this, his face turned pale.
He knew that this was the end, and he had probably offended Hera badly.
Because of the brief time spent with the gods, Jason understood one thing: these gods are more concerned about their reputation than the other!
"Okay, stop talking." Seeing that Poseidon was talking about something irrelevant, Hestia pulled Jason into her arms and rolled her eyes at Poseidon in annoyance.
"Can I borrow your Pegasus for a moment... I'm going to Demeter." Hestia then stated the purpose of her coming here.
Since Hestia wanted to borrow it, Poseidon naturally couldn't refuse.
Although he wanted to say a few words to Jason, he had to give up for the time being when he saw Hestia protecting Jason behind her.
Then Pegasus flew out of the water and stopped in front of Hestia and Jason. Hestia then took Jason and sat on the Pegasus. She put her arms around Jason and held the little Jason in her arms on the Pegasus.
"Um... Lady Hestia, can't you ask Lord Poseidon for a Pegasus?"
He could feel the back of his head touching that soft object, the feeling of being held in Hestia's arms, and the faint fragrance wafting over.
Jason was completely stiff.
"Well, why?"
Hestia smiled and stroked Jason's hair, whispering in his ear, "Isn't this a good idea? ...Besides, I can't ride a horse. If I don't hold on to little Jason, I'll fall off."
As she spoke, Hestia gently kicked the Pegasus with her foot, and the Pegasus cried softly to the sky, flapped its wings, and galloped into the sky.
...Lady Athena, where on earth have you been?
Jason, who was stiff and dared not move, recalled the figure of the silver-haired and golden-eyed girl and could not help but scream in his heart.
And where is Athena now?
In fact, she was right on the path that Jason had to take to reach the next jungle after passing through the ancient forest.
At this moment, she was standing in front of many magical beasts that bowed their heads in submission to her, giving them orders.
"Listen carefully! Soon a blond, blue-eyed hero will walk into this forest. Your mission is to cause him as much trouble as possible, but don't hurt him! ... Forget it, you can't hurt him anyway."
Athena said, looking at the many beasts in front of her, and then looking into the distance, with a slight smile on her lips, she said with anticipation: "Jason, why haven't you come yet? I have prepared many stories for you this time, please come quickly!"
Chapter 3 Athena: Jason, twice! (k)
A white, winged Pegasus is running in the sky.
Sitting on the Pegasus is the elegantly dressed and beautiful goddess Hestia, and Jason, who is now in her arms with a righteous look on his face.
That's right, at this moment Jason was being held in Hestia's arms with a righteous and serious look on his face. As for what he was thinking...only God knows.
Although Hecate did not use her divine power to protect and bless Jason, it was simply because there was no need.
When Jason used the eternal underworld fire to temper his soul, Hades, the god of the underworld, added his divine power, so that now even the main god cannot easily read Jason's thoughts.
And under the galloping of Pegasus, in just one day, Hestia brought Jason to a temple that was surrounded by wasteland.
