"Little Jason isn't easy for me to catch, and since Hecate doesn't care, I'm going to have a good time with him."
Athena happily plucked the strings of the harp in her hand.
She has been waiting for this moment for more than three years.
And I was stood up once...
"Don't go too far." Demeter frowned.
"Don't worry, I know my limits... By the way, do you know this?"
After nodding, Athena waved the silver harp in her hand towards Demeter.
"This?" Demeter looked at it in confusion. Isn't it just an ordinary harp?
"This is a gift from little Jason." Athena raised the corners of her mouth, obviously showing off.
Demeter was stunned for a moment, then pouted and said with a sour look, "Little Jason has never given me anything!... Humph, what's so great about that? Next time I'll ask that kid to give me something better!"
"But," Athena spread her hands, "As far as I know, this is Jason's first tribute to us... and the one he's offering is to me."
After saying this, Demeter became even more unhappy.
Chapter 3: Meeting the Goddess Hestia Again (k)
Pegasus was very fast, and with the direction pointer given by Athena, Jason would naturally not get lost.
Therefore, Jason should have arrived in the Calydonian Kingdom very early.
But unfortunately, there was more than one god who was eyeing and keeping an eye on Jason.
The next day, it was noon.
After traveling all morning, Bai Jie Pegasus descended from the sky and brought Jason to a quiet place in the forest. The man and the Pegasus prepared to take a rest.
Jason had just come to a tree stump and sat down.
"Are you tired? ...Your hair is all messed up."
A soft and doting voice suddenly sounded beside Jason's ears, and at the same time, the familiar soft feeling came over Jason again... The goddess Hestia leaned closely behind Jason and reached out to help Jason comb his hair.
"Speaking of which, Jason, why don't you grow your hair long? It seems to suit you very well.
With long hair, you'd be as dazzling as Apollo."
Well, okay, thank you Goddess Hestia for the reminder. I have decided that I will never have long hair in my life!
Jason didn't dare to move. He glanced at Pegasus beside him, and there was resentment in his emerald eyes.
No wonder you suddenly became restless and insisted on taking a rest!
Under Jason's gaze, Pegasus turned decisively and showed Jason its butt and tail.
Pegasus can also help other gods with his backing, for example, he was singing to the playful nymphs yesterday and staring at Athena silently at night.
But as for Hestia...you're on your own!
You have to know that Pegasus staying by Jason's side to help him was not Poseidon's idea, but Hestia's.
Therefore, Athena's shielding is naturally ineffective against Hestia. As long as Pegasus follows Jason, Hestia can find him at any time.
After combing Jason's long hair that was messed up by the wind, the mature lady with long brown hair sat down next to Jason.
Just like Athena, her eyes were fixed on Jason.
And the more he looked, the more satisfied he nodded.
"You've really grown up... You've grown up so fast."
Hestia compared her height with Jason and smiled softly.
"And he's so handsome and cute...ah, this is really a difficult situation." As she said this, Hestia began to worry seriously.
"Little Jason has become so handsome and cute, is there really a girl in this world who is worthy of you?
Which girl should I find for you in the future...it's really difficult."
Hestia blinked and looked at Jason, who was in a dilemma, and said, "By the way, Jason, do you have someone you like? ... As long as it's someone you like, no matter who it is, I can help you.
But little Jason, you can easily capture the hearts of other girls because you are so cute and handsome."
As she spoke, Hestia touched Jason's head again, with such a loving look on her face that she almost couldn't help but hold Jason in her arms and cuddle with him.
"Um, this really doesn't exist, Goddess Hestia..."
"No?" Hestia looked surprised and said, "How can that be? Little Jason, you are not a child anymore. You should start thinking about your future sooner rather than later.
Well... I think your sister is pretty good, and Medea is also a very cute girl.
Oh, and the kid from Artemis's family is also very cute. Artemis even said she wants to bring you two together because she thinks you're both very cute."
Hestia clapped her hands, very happy to plan for Jason.
Goddess Hestia, can we not talk about this?
Jason looked helpless.
Besides, Medea is my sister, and I can’t bully my brother!
And did I hear something incredible? Artemis wants to bring Atalanta and me together? ...Okay, I admit that Atalanta is cuter than Medea, and most importantly, she's not as troublesome as Medea.
But that doesn't mean she isn't a trouble!
Please go away, please go away!
"Goddess Hestia, may I ask why you came to see me?"
Jason, feeling that the topic was not good, quickly changed the subject.
"Things? ...Yeah, there are some."
Hestia thought for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile, "This time I came here not only to see little Jason, but also to ask him to do me a favor."
"As long as you, Goddess Hestia, speak, I will do anything as long as I can do it!" Jason replied seriously.
This is not meant as flattery.
Demeter's affairs would not have gone so smoothly if it weren't for Hestia, so Jason was very grateful to her.
This also applies to Athena. If it weren't for Athena, many things would not have seemed so simple to Jason.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jason received wise guidance.
Although Jason never considered himself a good person, he was determined to be a villain because only villains could cause harm for thousands of years.
But gratitude must be repaid...At least Jason still preserved this virtue even after traveling through time and space to come here.
As for Hera, although she was kind to Jason, she has no kindness towards the current Jason. To be honest, it is actually very troublesome.
"Little Jason is so good!" Seeing Jason so serious, Hestia felt her heart beating faster. Finally, she couldn't help it. She happily hugged Jason in her arms and held him close to her.
Then he said in an envious tone: "Ah, that's great for Hecate's child... Little Jason, Hecate doesn't care about you anyway, why don't you come with me and be my child?"
Why are you saying this again?
Jason couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Hestia is grateful for your kindness, but Hecate is my teacher and the goddess I respect and love the most..."
"You respect and love me more than you do me?" Hestia poked Jason's face with her slender fingers and puffed out her lips.
"Well, after all, he is my teacher..."
Jason's face did not blush and his heart did not beat.
At this moment, Hecate's eyelids in the Temple of the Underworld suddenly twitched. She was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said with understanding, "That kid Jason must be using me as a shield in front of a goddess again... This little bastard won't let me go even after he gets out!"
After saying this, Hecate shook her head again, blocking out all her perceptions.
She was afraid. She was afraid that one day she would end up like what happened with Hermes last time, and would not be able to help herself and cause trouble again!
"Lady Hestia, let's not talk about this anymore. What do you want to talk to me about...?"
"Hmph..." Hestia didn't reply immediately. Instead, she pinched Jason's face unhappily, played with it for a while, and then let him go.
Then he stood up, pointed to a place in the southwest, and said, "That direction is the Kingdom of Lycia, and around the kingdom, there is a demon beast.
Its name is Chimera.
It has the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a python. Wherever it goes, it will turn into desolation. It devours both animals and humans. The fire it spews burns villages. So far, no one has been able to stop it.
After saying this, Hestia turned around and looked at Jason, smiling and saying, "Go, child. When you arrive at the Kingdom of Lycia, I will issue an oracle and ask the King of Lycia to give you the greatest respect.
Once you slay the Chimera, your fame will be sung across the continent by bards.
Your name will be passed down through the ages, and the world will remember you forever!"
Hearing this, Jason was silent for a moment. He then looked at Hestia and cautiously offered her advice, "Lady Goddess Hestia, I have no problem killing the Chimera, but meeting the King of Lycia and having my story passed down through the ages... well, that's out of the question."
"No need?" Hestia paused, then looked at Jason in confusion. "Why? ...You've been training for so long, and now you've come out of seclusion. Isn't it to gain fame, to become a hero of the age, and to be remembered for eternity?"
"Lady Hestia, you misunderstood me." Jason couldn't help but say, "That's not true. I have no interest in heroes at all!"
Not everyone is Athena. After a few meetings, she could see through Jason and even drug him.
"not interested?"
Hestia was genuinely surprised now, “I heard you haven’t had a single day off in three years.
If not to be a hero, then what are you working so hard for?"
"To survive." Jason said to Hestia without hesitation or shame, "Goddess Hestia, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I just want to survive."
Hestia's expression became even more strange when she heard this.
Of course she still remembered this answer.
Three years ago, when she appeared before Jason and asked him questions based on Demeter's affairs, this was Jason's answer.
Everything I do is just to survive.
But at that time Hestia denied Jason's statement and directly pointed out the kindness deep in his heart.
And today, she heard it again.
"Just to survive... Never mind, let's just leave it at that."
After thinking for a while, Hestia suddenly asked thoughtfully, "What if I didn't show up, and you heard about the Chimera along the way, what would you choose?"
"I will rush to Calydon," Jason replied without hesitation, "and then tell Brother Hercules and the others about Chimera.
Following the guidance of the goddess of wisdom, Athena, I went to the god of fire, Hephaestus, and commissioned him to create a divine artifact."
"Yes." Hestia nodded and said with a smile, "That's a good choice. But if you inquire about Chimera on your way back from forging the artifact and find out that it hasn't been killed, will you rush over to kill it?"
Jason was stunned when he heard this.
His first reaction was how could it not have been killed by Hercules and the others, but based on Hestia's assumption, Jason thought for a moment and nodded silently.
Yes, he would.
Chapter 56: A boy who came from the sky, like a god!
This young man who traveled through time was not a saint.
And he was still struggling, wanting to live peacefully in this world while carrying the name and fate of Jason.
Therefore, he did not want to be involved in too many causes and effects.
Although things don't always go as planned.
There is a saying that with great power comes great responsibility... Although the boy did not deny this statement, he did not want to be the hero who shouldered the responsibility.
However, this does not mean that even if he knows the truth, he will pretend not to see it and watch others die.
Therefore, Hestia knew that although Jason always acted selfishly, if something really happened, the child would definitely take the initiative to approach with an attitude of "What a trouble, this is really troublesome."
Not wanting to do it, not willing to do it, but that doesn’t mean... he won’t do it.
Hestia smiled and said nothing more to Jason.
"Well, go ahead, kid."
