Atalanta winked at Jason and said with a look of emotion, "Jason..."

You finally became a hero."

"...Yes." Jason was silent for a long time before he replied with a sigh: "I finally became a hero."

"So, how does it feel to be a hero?"

Atalanta looked at Jason in front of her.

In a trance, she seemed to see him whom she had seen several years ago when he had just come out of the mountains, and Jason whom she had seen when she was a child.

As Medea said, she was extremely jealous of Atalanta.

Because apart from the gods, Atalanta was the only one who witnessed Jason's life!

Even so, the events she witnessed were not comprehensive.

Many events are still hidden in the world, waiting for time to ferment and spread before they are known to people.

But obviously, Atalanta was the lucky one.

"Hmm... I don't feel anything."

Jason thought for a long time before shrugged and replied to Atalanta.

"Thinking about it now, the reason I hated being a hero so much was because it was too dangerous.

Whether it's the profession of a hero, or my own destiny...

But now... I never thought it would be her who would break the fate of the hero named Jason for me."

"...Medea?"

Atalanta's voice suddenly became a little weaker.

"Yeah." Jason nodded without noticing, and with a slightly smug smile, he said, "And let me tell you, my sister is really becoming more and more like me.

Well, it seems that the education I gave her when she was a child was quite effective.

It was worth it that I worked so hard to take care of her.

If only she could understand that an elder brother is like a father and that an elder brother should not be bullied... Hey, Atalanta, why are you walking so fast?

Wait for me, wait for me!"

Atalanta ignored Jason, and judging from her expression, she seemed very calm.

but......

Just as Medea always envied Atalanta, in fact, Atalanta also envied her in her heart.

Of course, Atalanta would never admit this.

After all... it's pretty cunning, isn't it?

Unlike her who needs to work hard, Medea is a woman who is destined to have disputes with Jason.

She will always have a place by Jason's side.

Isn't this cunning?

Chapter 3: Heroes, Will Finally Bid Farewell to Gods (k)

into the night,

A grand banquet was held in the Kingdom of Colchis today.

The purpose of the banquet was, of course, to congratulate the heroes of the Argo.

This banquet was not only held in the palace, but also attracted crowds outside the palace as time went on.

People took out their treasured food from their homes and spontaneously expressed their congratulations, admiration and worship for the heroes of the Argo.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Colchis seems to be extremely lively today!

Although the Golden Fleece originally belonged to their country and it seemed a bit strange that it was so inexplicable, it would not be difficult to understand if you thought about it for a while.

After all, these Argonauts who came from afar are great heroes witnessed by the gods!

This morning, the sacred golden light descended upon the earth, and it was not long after the great gods witnessed it.

How could people not be excited when they saw such a miracle?

When Jason saw this scene, he thought for a while and then summoned everyone on the Argo.

Then he took them out of the city and, just as he had done on the Women's Island, took out the wheat ears that had been given as gifts by Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and Persephone, the queen of the underworld.

Sprinkle the seeds into the earth, and then use your own divine power to make them bloom and bear fruit.

He prayed to Artemis, the goddess of hunting, and obtained plenty of meat.

He also called many animals and asked them to pick the sweet spring water with their huge leaves.

“Heroes love money, but they must obtain it in a proper way. They cannot accept things that are not theirs for no reason.

You get what you give."

While doing all this, Jason said to them: "We have come here and have been warmly welcomed by the people here. They respect us, call us heroes, and are willing to hold a banquet for us. This is naturally our honor, but are we really qualified to enjoy all this?

The Golden Fleece belongs to another country. Although we have struggled to obtain it, the kind king is willing to give it to us.

But in the final analysis, we still took away their important things, but did not give them anything valuable in exchange.

Especially those who respect us, we have not done them any good.

We failed to help them hunt wild animals, nor did we solve the dangers for them.

So although they call us heroes, in fact we have not done anything heroic for them.

So even if we can accept their good intentions, we must not sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. We must do our best and do what we can.”

The heroes listened to Jason's words.

Under the gratified gaze of the Centaur sage Chiron.

Many of these unruly heroes are gifted by fate.

For example, Theseus, and Hercules who left first.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to make them change, after all, they all have their own pride.

But that doesn't mean they will always be like this.

When someone who is better than them and has more credibility with them teaches by example, they will naturally listen.

Although this was not something that could be accomplished in a short time, it should be noted that Jason had been with them for nearly half a year.

During the past six months, especially since the incident on the Women's Island, Jason has been restraining himself.

Just as he had promised Athena, he would become a hero and at the same time show them what a true hero is!

After Jason had distributed all the things, he asked them to take them back to the kingdom.

And just as Jason had thought, when they brought these things into the kingdom, people immediately came to ask curious questions.

When we learned that these heroes went out to find and hunt for food to fill the supplies for the banquet.

The heroes also asked the busy people to stop and told them that they would prepare a banquet and hoped that everyone would come to attend.

They immediately received looks of surprise, gratitude, and admiration from people.

And women adore the sight.

Seeing this, Jason couldn't help but smile slightly.

He naturally knew that it was useless to just talk about the road, and he must also let them taste the benefits of doing so.

And the admiration from the people will naturally satisfy their needs.

Because many of these Argonaut heroes actually have complicated origins.

For example, the god of medicine Asclepius, the prince of Calydon Meleager, and the prince of Athens Theseus.

Jason also used this silent way to tell them how to gain the reputation and glory they valued.

In this way, they will naturally try to change even without Jason's reminder.

As long as they taste the sweetness, they will naturally work hard according to the path pointed out by Jason.

only......

"Hey."

"Hmm?" Atalanta looked puzzled at Jason who suddenly sighed beside her and said, "Why are you sighing? Wasn't your taming quite successful?"

"Could you please use better words..."

Jason looked at Atalanta speechlessly.

Then, looking at them, Jason couldn't help but shook his head and said softly, "Heroes... they are the brilliant and dazzling existences that burst out from the long river of human life. Each of them is the brightest star of the current era.

Heroes are beings born from the human group.

It belongs therefore to mankind, not to…”

After saying this, Jason couldn't help but look up and gaze at the stars in the sky.

And kept his mouth shut.

"This road is destined to be winding... Can you see that?"

Finally, Jason said softly.

Athena, goddess of wisdom, can you see it?

Can you see that when they understand the path they want to take, conflicts will inevitably arise with you?

When they understand that they exist as human beings.

Athena, your favorite heroes...

It will be far away from you.

Heroes will eventually bid farewell to gods!

Atalanta looked at Jason, who suddenly fell silent, gazing at the starry sky.

After tilting her head, she couldn't help but pat him gently and said, "What are you thinking about? Let's go back too."

"Well...I can't."

Jason smiled softly and replied to Atalanta.

"I think I should go home first."

Atalanta was slightly stunned and looked at Jason.

Then, perhaps he understood something, and without saying anything more, he turned and left Jason.

After Atalanta left, Jason waved to Chiron and others who were watching from a distance, and after they all left, he turned and walked into a corner.

He became invisible and left this place.

When he appeared again, he came to an open space outside the palace, where a sleepless dragon was lying there eating the meat sent by the king.

"Your Excellency the Dragon."

Jason chuckled and came up to it.

"It's you." The Sleepless Dragon glanced at Jason and said, "What do you want from me?"

"Hmm... I'd like to ask, Your Excellency the Dragon, is there any place you'd like to go from now on?"

"...What do you want to do?" The sleepless dragon looked at Jason.

Jason said nothing more and took out the ink-colored shepherd's flute.

"In exchange for sleep, I hope Your Excellency the Dragon will follow me for a while."

Jason paused briefly before continuing, "I swear by the River of Oath that if you, Lord Dragon, wish to leave, I will not stop you."

"You won't stop it?" The Sleepless Dragon was a little confused, and looked at Jason and said, "Then you won't benefit at all, right?
