"No need, mother. We don't even need to look for Apollo right now."
But Artemis refused Leto, turned around and grabbed Jason's hand, motioned to Leto, and said very confidently: "Because Jason is here.
Don't worry, mother. With Jason and I here, we will definitely be able to get rid of that damned giant!"
Chapter 4: Dead Niobe (k)
The moon is bright in the sky,
Holding the silver bow under the moonlight, Jason's hands trembled slightly.
Because the bow is a bit heavy.
"Jason, do you see the fruit on the mountain ahead? ... Come, work hard with me and stretch the bowstring..."
Artemis gently wrapped Jason's hand, pressed it against his body, and taught him to draw the silver bow in his hand.
As the bowstring was stretched, a sharp arrow appeared on the bow.
Then the arrow shot out with a bang, heading straight from the foot of the mountain to the fruit on the tree on the top of the mountain, easily shooting it down.
Not far away at this moment, Artemis' mother Leto was sitting in the shade of a tree.
Seeing the scene in front of him, especially the scene where Artemis didn't care at all... or to be more precise, she was actively trying to get close to Jason.
"Artemis seems to like this child even more than I thought... but it's not incomprehensible.
When she came to me with the light of time, even I couldn't help but envy her, envying the tribute that the child offered to her - romance.
only......"
Goddess Leto smiled lightly and as she spoke, she turned her head to look at Hecate who was not far away from her.
"What I didn't expect was that you actually agreed.
I agreed to let the child come with me, and I also agreed to Artemis's willful request to be the child's teacher for a week..."
"Aunt Leto, you're overthinking it. I don't care that much about him..."
"Oh?" Leto smiled and looked at Hecate and said, "So, it's okay for me to let him stay and play with my daughter, right?"
"I have no problem, but Athena cares about him very much..." Hecate curled her lips and used Athena as a shield without hesitation.
Seeing Hecate frowning, Leto smiled for a while and then stopped talking.
After all, she still needs Hecate's help next.
At this moment, two or three days had passed since the incident at the Kiseron Mountain Holy Forest.
When Leto expressed her troubles, Jason naturally could not stay out of it.
After all, not to mention Artemis, Leto is the sister of Hecate's mother. Just based on this relationship, Jason would definitely choose to help.
As for the teacher time of the week...
In fact, it wasn’t a week at all in the beginning.
"Jason, can I be your teacher too?"
Artemis, who had long had this idea, said that day, "Because it seems that if I become your teacher I will be able to see you every day, and that's what Hecate is like.
So Jason, can I be your teacher too?"
Faced with Artemis's request, Jason was naturally overwhelmed and politely refused...
"This... Goddess Artemis, I need to seriously consult teachers Hecate, Hephaestus, and Chiron for their opinions.
I can’t make a decision without respecting them.”
Apart from anything else, Hecate was there at the time.
Only a goddess like Artemis would say such words in such an occasion.
And after being politely rejected, Artemis still couldn't hear Jason's subconscious thoughts, and kept asking Jason questions, hoping that Jason would agree.
Later, Leto noticed Hecate's displeasure and spoke out to stop Artemis.
But Artemis was not the kind of goddess who would give up so easily. She insisted on becoming Jason's teacher no matter what.
I mainly envy Hecate, who can meet Jason every few days.
Faced with the noisy Artemis, Leto, who would naturally side with her daughter, tentatively asked Hecate.
Who knew that this time Hecate was so resolute and directly rejected the matter. The reason she gave was very simple, that is, Jason had not yet graduated from her.
Of course, the main reason is Hephaestus’ criminal record.
This made Hecate a little sensitive.
However, Artemis did not give up despite Hecate's rejection.
The two of them even gradually became at odds with each other, which made the surprised Leto laugh.
"I heard that Hera has always claimed that you are her child, but Hephaestus has been refuting this. Even Athena is against it, saying that you are his child... Everyone really likes you."
Faced with Leto's words, what else could Jason do except smile?
So in the end, it turned into Teacher Zhou's situation.
After all, there is a precedent, that is Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea.
She had been Jason's teacher for a short time, teaching him how to play the harp so that it could move all living things.
Although Artemis was still very dissatisfied with this, after Leto persuaded her, Artemis reluctantly accepted it.
But what surprised everyone a little was that after Artemis became Jason's teacher, she actually put her heart and soul into teaching Jason archery.
It's not about having a playful attitude.
At this time, Hecate looked at Leto who was laughing in front of her, and then looked at Artemis and Jason not far away, and naturally felt a little annoyed.
At this moment, a dark butterfly flew out from the shadows, landed on Hecate's shoulder, and conveyed a message to her.
Hecate's brows relaxed slightly after hearing what Hades said, and she said to Leto, "Aunt Leto, I have found Niobe, the human who dared to offend you.
I will help you punish her now!"
Having said this, Hecate turned around and came to Jason and Artemis without waiting for Leto to reply, grabbed Jason and took him away.
Seeing this, Artemis shouted twice and followed.
Leto looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little funny, but she didn't say anything more.
At most, I was thinking about whether I should try to build a good relationship with Jason, or go out to see my sister and mention what I saw in the past two days.
Soon, under a burst of red light, the four of them were teleported directly to a high mountain not far from Thebes through a magic circle.
Looking down, you can overlook the entire kingdom.
When Artemis came here and mentioned Niobe, her good mood disappeared instantly.
There was even an urge to destroy the entire kingdom with a single arrow.
After all, her mother was actually humiliated by a mortal!
Even Leto, who was usually gentle and kind, lost his smile and frowned when he saw the kingdom in front of him.
"This is it, right? Hecate, you've found them, right? Tell me their location now, I want to kill them myself!"
Artemis said, already holding up the silver bow in her hand as she looked towards Hecate.
But Hecate ignored Artemis and looked at Jason.
"Goddess Artemis and Goddess Leto, I don't think killing them is the best solution."
Then Jason stood up and came before the two goddesses.
Seeing this, Artemis couldn't help but feel unhappy and said, "Jason, are you going to stop me? They are humiliating my mother!"
"No, Goddess Artemis, I naturally did not intend to stop you. Queen Niobe did indeed commit an unforgivable mistake, and she must be punished with despair!"
After hearing what Jason said, Leto, who had frowned when Jason jumped out, finally relaxed her expression.
"Although Niobe did commit an unforgivable mistake, her children are innocent. If you kill them, I think it will affect your reputation, Goddess Leto.
Just a Niobe, it's not worth the price you pay, goddess Leto!"
Leto listened to Jason's words and felt that there was some truth in them.
"Then Jason, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
As she spoke, Leto couldn't help but become interested and looked at Jason.
Because Leto obviously knew something about Jason.
And so far Jason has never done anything to disappoint them.
"Goddess Leto, from what I understand, this Queen Niobe is most proud of her status and her fourteen children, right?"
Leto nodded.
"That's simple. Give her the most desperate punishment. In fact, all you need to do is crush her pride.
For example...after tonight, no one will recognize her anymore, no one will know who she is, and she will be the only one who retains her original memories."
Artemis and Leto were slightly stunned when they heard this.
Jason then looked at Hecate and asked, "Teacher, can you do this?"
"Of course." Hecate nodded and waved her hand gently towards the city below.
Dark butterflies appeared in the kingdom, flapping their wings and flying into everyone's mind. After erasing the memory of the woman named Niobe, they flew out again.
Obviously, it was prepared in advance.
"What's the point of doing this?"
Artemis tilted her head slightly, confused.
"Wouldn't it be easier to just kill them?"
"In that case, Niobe wouldn't even realize her mistake, but after today, I think she'll regret it immensely.
And from now on, Niobe will become your most loyal believer, goddess Leto!"
Leto couldn't help but blink as she listened to Jason's words.
Although she vaguely realized the significance of Jason's actions, but as the most loyal believer...how could this be possible?
With such doubts, Leto and Artemis enjoyed a wonderful show just the next day.
First, early in the morning, Niobe was captured by soldiers in the palace and thrown out.
Later, because Niobe told everyone that she was the queen of Thebes and the mother of princes and princesses, she was called a madman, despised by everyone, and no one dared to approach her.
Especially after the scene where Leto and Artemis saw her meet her children, excitedly ran up to recognize them, but were disgusted by her children.
Leto's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth rose, obviously he was extremely satisfied with such punishment.
Her pride disappeared and was completely destroyed in less than a day.
As for why, from today on, I will become the most loyal believer of the goddess Leto...
"When all the gods in the world refused to help her, in her most desperate and helpless moment, Goddess Leto appeared before her and helped her recover her identity and everything she had. She will surely thank you from the bottom of her heart."
When Leto later asked about this, Jason replied, "Because she once disrespected you, from this day forward she will suffer a lifetime of shame in her heart, and will spend her entire life trying to make amends for her disrespect to you."
After hearing Jason's words, he thought of Niobe, who was so arrogant a few days ago. From now on, she would feel endless guilt towards him and become his most loyal believer.
Leto was naturally very satisfied with how Jason handled the matter, and she also gave up the idea of killing her and her children.
What neither Leto nor Artemis noticed was that Jason, who had taken the initiative to do all this, was not happy.
Although Jason looked calm and nothing seemed wrong, Hecate knew that he was not in a good mood.
So late that night, in the temple of the goddess Leto, Hecate found him alone.
As soon as Jason saw Hecate, he understood why she came.
"Teacher, don't worry. I'm not a sentimental person, and... I've never considered myself a good person."
"Well...but you did good enough. They were able to save their lives thanks to your advice." Hecate replied softly.
"...No, Sensei."
Jason shook his head and replied to Hecate, "The queen named Niobe, the queen who arrogantly faced the gods, is actually dead."
