Hearing this, Jason was stunned. Of course, he would not question Hecate's words.
Not to mention that she is a goddess, Teacher Chiron also said that even the god-king Zeus, who is now in the heyday of his power, would give this goddess some face.
But because of this, Jason was very worried about what she would ask him to do.
Especially after Jason thought about it carefully, he found that he seemed to have no communication with her, and the god his parents believed in was not her.
Then Jason remembered that when Teacher Chiron mentioned her, he looked at him with a strange look...as if he mentioned her specifically because of him.
After a few seconds of thought, Jason replied to Hecate cheerfully, "No problem, Goddess Hecate!
I, Jason, hereby formally swear to the gods of Olympus that I will unconditionally promise the noble goddess Hecate one thing!
Jason's decisiveness surprised Hecate again.
She couldn't help but take a second look at the boy who looked only about twelve years old.
Jason actually had no choice... In fact, he didn't need to choose, because Jason knew very well that this was a powerful goddess. If she really wanted to harm him, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. He would probably die in one sentence.
"Very well... You don't need to complete that task now. I will come to you in person when the time comes. So, Jason, what about your wish?"
However, after achieving her goal so easily, Hecate was so satisfied that she looked at Jason with a much more favorable look.
"...Lady Goddess Hecate, can the matter of the wish wait a moment?" Jason hesitated for a moment and said tentatively to Hecate: "I want to go back and think about it..."
Hecate was not angry at Jason's request. After all, it was a sign of respect for her... although she would rather finish the task and go home to do experiments.
But in the end she gave Jason a dark-colored feather and told him to put it in the moonlight and say his name when he had thought it through.
Finally, after a terrifying day in which he would encounter gods wherever he went, Jason returned to the cave of Pyriawyn as sunset was approaching.
"Why are you back so late?"
As soon as Jason came back, he met Chiron who was walking towards him anxiously.
Seeing the concern in Chiron's eyes, Jason couldn't help but feel a little guilty...Chiron was really good to him.
Even if Jason insisted on not learning anything, Chiron would not say anything, but would choose to patiently correct Jason's ideas.
"Teacher Chiron, I met a goddess today... It was Goddess Hecate!"
"Hecate?!" Chiron was surprised. "Jason, what on earth is going on?"
Then the two of them came to Chiron's wooden house. When the sunset faded and night fell, Jason told him what had happened that day.
"Complete one thing... Looks like she knows it too."
After hearing Jason's words, Chiron obviously understood the whole story and felt relieved.
"Teacher Chiron, do you know what Goddess Hecate wants me to do?" Jason asked curiously when he saw this.
"Well...that's right."
Chiron smiled bitterly, but did not explain too much.
Seeing this, Jason did not continue to ask questions because he had something more important to ask Chiron.
He said to Chiron seriously: "Teacher Chiron, I remember you told me that the goddess Hecate is quite special!
She doesn't clearly belong to the sky, the earth, the sea, or the underworld, but at the same time she has a high status in these places, right?"
"Well, what's wrong?" Chiron nodded.
"Teacher Chiron, you also said that the goddess Hecate represents randomness, chance, and the randomness of fate, right?"
"Yes." Chiron nodded, "Even within the timeline predicted by the gods, as long as she intervenes, she can add a bit of luck.
Therefore, she is the most special god, and her privileges are unlimited!"
"That means... she has the power to change fate, right?" Jason looked at Chiron with an increasingly serious expression.
"You could say that," Chiron replied, "otherwise she wouldn't be called the goddess of opportunity."
"Really... Mr. Chiron, I think I already know what wish I should make to the goddess Hecate."
Having said this, Jason stood up.
He bowed deeply to Chiron and said, "Teacher Chiron... I'm sorry! Jason, your unworthy disciple, begs you to agree to my request to withdraw from school!"
again!
This was Chiron's first reaction.
But he soon realized that Jason was a little different today... This time, there was no longer a trace of confusion in his eyes!
He is really serious at this moment!
"...Can I hear your reasons?"
Chiron was silent for a while, but he was not angry or upset. Instead, he smiled and spoke to Jason in an unusually gentle voice.
This made Jason feel even more uncomfortable.
Chiron never gave up on Jason and even cared about him so much because he had long known that Jason was actually a good boy.
Because his eyes could not deceive Chiron, Chiron could feel the guilt that occasionally appeared in Jason's eyes when he saw him.
"Because I'm about to make a wish to the goddess Hecate, hoping that she will accept me as her disciple! ...Sorry, Mr. Chiron, I want to...change my destiny!"
Chapter 6: Gods are indeed unreliable!
"Really?... So, you already knew that."
In the cabin of the Centaur Sage Chiron, Chiron looked at Jason, whose eyes were full of guilt, but his eyes were gentle.
I hope to change my future destiny! ...When Chiron heard Jason's words, his doubts were naturally resolved.
In fact, Chiron had already guessed it.
After all, being able to know one's future destiny is not a rare thing in this era where gods still exist.
For example, Cuchulainn in Ireland and Achilles who shone brightly in the Trojan War, they all knew their fate early on.
This can be seen from the fact that Chiron left Jason behind.
Because of Chiron's character, if Jason really gave up his studies, even if Chiron felt regretful and sorry, he would definitely follow Jason's ideas.
Yes, although Jason kept saying that he wanted to drop out of school, he was actually hesitant inside.
As a time traveler, Jason naturally feels fear and resistance after learning his name and future destiny.
Jason really had no intention of becoming a hero. In his opinion, it was too tiring.
But this is Greece, the Age of Gods! Jason knew very well that if he wanted to survive in this world, to live well, he would need strength, enough strength to keep himself alive!
But the problem is, the more powerful he is, the more he will attract the attention of the gods, because he is Jason, the legendary hero Jason!
He is destined to have disputes with gods and heroes.
Therefore, the situation Jason faces is actually very delicate. If he becomes stronger, then because he is Jason, he will be able to attract the attention of the gods.
But if he doesn't become stronger, it will be a big problem for him to survive!
At the same time, Jason had another thing he had to accomplish, that is, he was the son of Aeson, king of Iolcus after all.
Although he traveled through time during the period when Jason left to become Chiron's apprentice, and he was not familiar with Jason's parents at all, this memory still existed in his mind.
Now that he has become Jason, he needs to help Aeson regain his former throne.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Jason has seen that the opportunity to change all this is...
Hecate, the goddess of opportunity!
"Hecate is the goddess of opportunity and also a goddess who can use magical spells...it is indeed a good choice for you to take her as your teacher."
After quickly understanding it, Chiron smiled and gave Jason affirmation.
"...I'm sorry, Mr. Chiron."
"fine."
Chiron shook his head slightly and said, "I'm very happy that you can choose your own path. However... let's not talk about dropping out of school anymore."
Chiron smiled at Jason and said, "Given the character of Goddess Hecate, she won't care about such a small matter... The teacher hopes that when you come back, you will have grown up in a different way.
By that time, you have to be mentally prepared. If you can't satisfy the teacher, he or she will not let you graduate."
Chiron...obviously, he deserves the title of the wisest teacher in Greece!
Even though they had only been together for less than a month or two, he was genuinely kind to his student, Jason.
At this moment, I couldn't help but feel angry, but instead felt happy for Jason from the bottom of my heart.
So that night, accompanied by Chiron, Jason came to a quiet lawn.
Looking at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, Jason took out the black feather that emitted a dark light.
After calling Hecate's name softly, it didn't take long before the light on the feather became brighter and brighter. Finally, under the dazzling light, Hecate came to Jason with the help of this medium.
"Have you thought about it so quickly? ...Hey, why are you here too?"
Hecate, wearing a long dress as dark as the night and with her long black hair draped behind her, soon spotted the Centaur Chiron not far away.
"Good evening, Your Excellency Goddess Hecate."
Chiron saluted Hecate and said respectfully.
"No thanks. You know I'm not that interested in this. And you don't have to be so restrained with me given your status."
Hecate waved to Chiron and then looked at Jason and said, "Then tell me your wish."
"Yes, Goddess Hecate... Goddess Hecate, I hope that from now on, I can become your student!"
Looking at Jason who was taking a deep breath and speaking to her seriously, Hecate was slightly stunned. "Become... my student?"
Obviously, such a wish was beyond her expectations!
Hecate frowned, looked at Jason for a moment, then looked at Chiron.
"Please, Goddess Hecate." Jason bowed to Hecate again.
"Chiron, you should know that I hate trouble." Hecate said bluntly.
"Jason is a very clever child. I promise you in the name of my father Kronos and my mother Philula that he will never bring you any trouble!"
Chiron finished speaking seriously, and Hecate couldn't help but look at him deeply.
Such a guarantee is tantamount to an oath...
"But I'm not interested." Hecate said, "Besides, he doesn't have the corresponding bloodline, so he can't learn magic at all...etc."
Having said this, Hecate suddenly paused and looked at Jason.
He took a closer look.
"So...it seems like a good experimental subject! After all, I've always wanted to know if my magic is truly universal!"
Hecate's eyes lit up.
In fact, looking at the entire Greek mythology, we can see that whether it is most heroes or most gods, they all focus on developing the divine power brought by their own blood, training their bodies, and practicing archery, swordsmanship and other combat skills.
But Hecate is indeed an exception. What she has been studying is magic... To be more precise, she can cast spells with extraordinary power without using divine power!
In fact, Hecate's research direction is obviously correct, otherwise she would not be sitting in such a position now, where the gods dare not provoke her easily.
Although Hecate has two apprentices, they are different.
Circe was actually the daughter of Helios, the sun god, and Perseis, the incinerator and one of the Ocean nymphs.
Then, Medea calls Circe aunt.
This is the bloodline.
"Okay, I'll accept this apprentice."
Hecate readily agreed, and looked at Jason with a look full of favor. She felt that this child was really smart and had a bright future!
But now Jason regretted it, because when he saw Hecate looking at him, it seemed that the look she gave him was not much different from the look she gave a white mouse...
"Teacher Chiron..."
Can I regret it?
