After all, even if Medea was a genius, she only studied with Hecate for nearly a year.

At the same time, it was precisely because only a year had passed that when Medea knew that a junior fellow student was coming to talk to her, she seemed so excited and so enthusiastic towards Jason.

If it were a few more years, she would probably become completely numb to life in the underworld.

It is not known whether this is Jason's luck or misfortune.

"Come here, Brother Ma, this is today's potion... ahem, no, this is today's fresh green grass."

In the stable, Jason took the grass with the newly made potion and handed it to the Pegasus who was still there.

Tianma pursed his lips, whimpered twice, and turned sideways to indicate that he didn't want to eat.

"Don't worry, Brother Ma, the grass this time will definitely be fine."

Pegasus wagged its tail at Jason, indicating that it would not be fooled!

The last time it ate it, its whole body was paralyzed for three days and three nights. If it hadn't been unable to walk, it would have run away long ago.

"Brother Horse, be good. After you eat this grass, I'll take you out to find a wild mare in a couple of days. I heard there's a herd of horses on the next mountain... Oh, and I also know Lady Artemis's Deer Sister. Do you know her? She's so beautiful!"

Just when Jason was racking his brains to please Pegasus and make it willingly serve as his experimental subject.

"Hey, isn't this Poseidon's horse? He actually gave it to you for safekeeping?"

Suddenly, a not-so-strange voice came to my ear.

Then Hermes, wearing a feather hat, a short-sleeved tunic, and holding a staff in his hand, walked out from the side and came to Jason.

After taking a few interested glances at Pegasus, Hermes smiled and said to Jason, "Speaking of which, you dared to covet Artemis's golden-horned deer. If Artemis knew about this..."

"I was just joking, really just joking!"

Upon hearing this, Jason quickly threw away the grass and proved his innocence, saying, "Sister Deer cares and loves me so much, how could I possibly have any intentions towards her! ...By the way, Lord Hermes, why are you here? Are you here to see the goddess Demeter?"

"No, I'm here to find you."

"Looking for me?" Jason was slightly stunned, then thought for a moment and said, "Oh, Lord Hermes, I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to take Sister Persephone away."

"...You are as smart as ever, kid."

Hermes patted Jason's head and said, "But there's no need for such a reminder. Demeter is too busy to care about me right now. She has been taken to Mount Olympus by Ares."

Ares? ...the god of war among the twelve Olympians?

"And don't worry, I didn't come to you this time to ask you to do anything, but to pass on a message... Goddess Hera has something for me to pass on to you."

Hera...

Jason's eyes widened a little when he heard the name.

But calm soon returned.

I just sighed in my heart, what is coming... has finally come.

Then the two of them found a private place to sit down, and Hermes spoke: Hera asked me to tell you that she can forgive your behavior so far and will not pursue it in any way.

But the condition is that from today on, you must take the initiative to sever all ties with Hecate and others.

And I must swear to the gods of Olympus that I will always believe in her and only her!"

When Hermes told Jason Hera's conditions, he looked at Jason with interest, obviously expecting a reaction.

However, to his disappointment, Jason's expression did not fluctuate much at this moment.

He even seemed surprised.

"...Is that all?"

Jason looked at Hermes in confusion.

Jason was really surprised. He had originally thought that Hera would at least let him walk to Mount Olympus and apologize to her in front of the gods.

After all, he made Hera lose face!

"Little guy, your reaction is a little strange."

Hermes was speechless and said, "I thought you would be surprised, angry, or excited, but...what's going on?"

"Well... because I learned about this from Lord Poseidon last time, I was actually mentally prepared a long time ago."

Jason thought for a moment and replied truthfully to Hermes, "So I had originally thought that Goddess Hera would at least allow me to apologize in person."

"Generally speaking...it seems to be true."

Hermes smiled and said, "But you are a little special. Even Hera doesn't dare to do anything to you directly. Moreover, I think she seems to hope that you can return to her, so she is relatively tolerant of you."

Don’t dare to do anything to yourself?

Jason took it all as a joke.

Others may not know how the Twelve Trials of Hercules came about, but as a time traveler, doesn't Jason know it?

"What's your answer?"

"this......"

"Don't worry, you have three days."

Hermes stood up, adjusted his hat, and said to Jason, "Although Hera originally meant for you to make a choice immediately, you helped me a lot last time after all. It was my mission to bring Persephone out.

So this time I will secretly help you get three days, and then I will come to find you after three days.

By the way, if you choose Hera, you don't have to worry about Hecate and the others' revenge, because Hera has already said that when you return to her arms, she will swear to the gods to protect you for the rest of your life."

Hermes said and left.

After watching him leave, Jason turned his head towards the door and said softly, "Did you hear everything?"

After the words fell, in a brief silence, Medea cautiously walked out from the shadows and said to Jason anxiously: "Brother Jason, it's not like that. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation..."

"I don't blame you, because it's obvious that it was Master Hermes who deliberately let you hear it... No, to be more precise, he wanted the teacher to hear it."

Jason's guess was correct. After all, if Hermes hadn't done it on purpose, Medea would have had no chance to eavesdrop.

Therefore, at this time, Hecate, who was far away in the underworld, naturally knew that she was being poached...even though she was the one who poached Hera first.

This doesn't seem right, after all, Jason was the one who took the initiative to move towards her.

"Choice..."

In the underworld, Hecate was silent, looking at the experiment in front of her that was ruined because of her distraction just now, and she could only put down the potion in her hand helplessly.

"I've always been a little confused. If there's a fine line between being favored by the gods and being destroyed by them, then why did you, Jason, end up on such an 'ordinary' path?

I initially thought it was your own decision to withdraw, but... in the end, it was all because of the gods."

At this point, Hecate couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Jason, Jason... the three miracles I saw in you are actually so closely related to the gods.

And you...actually don't want to get along with any god at all."

After saying this, there was a long silence, and Hecate sighed silently.

......

......

In the blink of an eye, three days will pass quickly.

During these three days, Jason stayed in his room alone and never left.

Although Medea was very anxious, she did not dare to go in rashly. She could only ask Hecate for advice and pray to her.

So late at night on the last day.

"Teacher, I thought you wouldn't come."

Jason, who had been sitting by the window and looking out for three whole days, finally showed a smile on his face.

And behind him, Hecate walked out in the moonlight.

"I didn't want to come... If it weren't for that child Medea, who begged me over and over again, even crying, I wouldn't want to bother with this matter."

Hecate came and sat down beside the bed, complaining.

After that, the two were silent for a while.

"If I hadn't come, you would have chosen Hera."

Upon hearing this, Jason looked at Hecate in surprise.

"Because this is a good opportunity. Since Queen Hera swore to the gods to protect you for the rest of your life, she will definitely not break her promise. This way, even if you don't have to do anything in the future, you've achieved your goal... to survive.

Live peacefully in this world."

That’s right, Jason’s goal has always been to work hard so that he can survive in this world.

After all, the three words "Jason" really brought him tremendous pressure.

Jason originally planned to run away to a deserted place, but this world was too dangerous, just like when Demeter was angry, the earth dried up and countless lives died.

If you don’t have the strength, you will be killed by various accidents.

But if he had the power, wouldn't he be getting closer and closer to Jason's fate?

But if you choose Hera at this moment, then everything will be solved.

He could choose to leave and escape to some small place to live out his life in peace, because Hera, the Queen of Heaven, would swear to protect him throughout his life.

As long as he chose to escape, Athena and other gods would naturally be disappointed in him and would no longer pay attention to him.

Although running away is shameful, it is effective...As an ordinary person who suddenly traveled to this dangerous world, Jason really just wanted to survive.

"Ah."

Therefore, Jason nodded happily and said to Hecate with a smile: "As expected, Teacher Hecate, you understand me... I think in this world, probably only you and Teacher Chiron can understand me.

That's right, if you don't come, I will go to Hermes tomorrow and choose Goddess Hera, because I know that Teacher Hecate, you are different from Hera, and you will not bear a grudge against me.

If I left, you would probably be relieved, but... Teacher Hecate, you are here."

"Yeah, I'm really relieved that you're gone."

Hecate was also helpless, "But I came here... Tell me, who is to blame?"

As she spoke, Hecate waved to Jason, signaling him to come over.

Seeing this, Jason immediately covered his face and said pitifully to Hecate: "Teacher, can you be a little gentler..."

Hearing this, a dazzling smile spread across Hecate's face.

Jason was discouraged, and when he walked over, as expected, he was caught by Hecate and severely beaten to vent his anger.

After venting her anger, Hecate hugged Jason in her arms again and said to him with a sigh: "You... I actually know you are waiting for me to come over, and I also know that you are deliberately taking this opportunity to ask me questions, but before that, let me ask you one thing, teacher, do you know why I came here?

As for me...I'm just too soft-hearted!

If you run away tomorrow, I won’t bother to care about you, but you are my student now...you evil disciple!

Teacher, I know you've always wanted to escape your fate and didn't want to get entangled with God. So when I thought about how you struggled so hard, but the result you got was still caused by God, I... came here."

"Forget it, you evil disciple. Since you're so eager to know the answer, I'll tell you... With the power left in you by Hades, I think even the three goddesses of fate wouldn't be able to easily discern the traces of your destiny."

After saying this, without waiting for Jason to reply, Hecate asked him to turn around so that he was facing her, and she bent down and rested her forehead against Jason's.

"Look into the teacher's eyes, and they...will tell you the answers you want to know!"

So this time, from Hecate's eyes, Jason saw... saw three things, completely different from the fate of Jason in his memory.

But three, new roads!

Soon, because it was a kind of memory synchronization magic, when Jason saw the three roads that Hecate saw that day through her vision, Jason's expression at this moment... was quite wonderful!

"Teacher Hecate..."

Then Jason said to Hecate with a look as if he was about to cry: "Why did you come here! ... Can time go back? Can I regret it?"

"No, my lovely student."

Hecate pinched Jason's cheek, and at this moment the depression on her face completely disappeared, and her smile was as bright as a flower.

And said to him happily: "Hey, little Jason, you are so considerate of your teacher. Originally, I was thinking about you and was prepared to endure it silently, but now... you evil disciple, cough, my good disciple, your love for you is not in vain!"
