The River of Lamentation, Cogitus.

And the River of Hate, Styx, which circles Hades' palace nine times.

Every river has its own characteristics, and the second stop that Hecate brought Jason to was the River of Fire, which could produce a flame that would never go out!

"So I came to you," Hecate said calmly. "As a god born from these flames, you must know how to use these flames to temper his soul, right?"

"It's difficult." The red-haired lady shook her head and said, "Although it's not completely impossible, it's... quite troublesome!"

"Even with your help, we still need the help of at least one god who can use life force to accomplish this!

And before that, he needs to stay in this area for at least three months, taking Fire Lotus every day to get used to this flame!"

"Taking the Fire Lotus for three months, and still needing a god who can use life force..." Hecate fell into thought.

Seeing that she was lost in thought, the Flame Spirit couldn't help but ask Hecate, "Goddess Hecate, may I ask, is he...someone related to you?"

illegitimate child?

Even the Spirit of Fire couldn't help but think so.

Although she also knew that Hecate was a virgin goddess, still unmarried, and had never had a relationship with that god.

After all, even Zeus, the king of gods, did not dare to attack her easily.

Because Hecate has both strength and background!

Although it is indeed the world of the third pantheon, Zeus and his ilk, the beings of the first and second pantheons are not all dead!

"I am a student," Hecate replied calmly.

"Student?" The Flame Spirit was stunned for a moment, looked at Jason, and then said in surprise: "Just a student?"

"Well, by the way, I need him to help me verify the experiment and see if he, as a mortal, can use the magic I have researched."

"A mortal body?"

The Flame Spirit couldn't help but wonder, "If that's the case... then Lady Goddess Hecate, isn't this unnecessary?"

After she asked this, Jason himself was stunned.

Indeed, if it was just for the purpose of experiment, he would first wash his body with the Styx, and then prepare to temper his soul with the Eternal Underworld Fire... After doing this, can we be sure that Jason is still a mortal?

"Washing his body will make him stronger, and tempering his soul will enable him to withstand the 'Divine Word'... Since he's already my student, he must learn common magic, and naturally, extraordinary magic as well!"

Under Jason's gaze, Hecate said lightly.

The language of God is actually the advanced spell language used in various mythological eras, which cannot be reproduced by human vocal organs.

The soul of an ordinary person cannot easily withstand this power.

But you have to know that if there is a problem with the essence of the soul, then Jason is truly dead and cannot be resurrected.

It can be seen that although Hecate kept telling Jason to die, she gave Jason a feeling that she was unreliable.

But in fact it is not the case.

Although it was not Hecate's wish to accept a disciple, since she had already accepted Jason as a student, Hecate would naturally fulfill her duties as a teacher.

After all, Chiron said that Hecate is a kind goddess!

"Jason, from today on, you will stay with her for three months. I will come back to find you after three months. As for the god with the power of life... it just so happens that I haven't seen her in a long time. I don't know what she's been doing."

After making the arrangements, Hecate left, muttering to herself.

Jason and the Spirit of Fire were left staring at each other.

"That... Sister Fire Spirit, please give me some advice." In the end, Jason had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak to the Fire Spirit.

Seeing Jason's embarrassed look, the Fire Spirit couldn't help but laugh and said, "Just call me Sister Fire Spirit... Hehe, kid, you have such a teacher. I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky."

Hecate returned to the temple and began to contact the god of life force. After waiting for a while without any response, Hecate threw herself into her research again.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

Three months later, after Hecate set her own magic alarm to remind her that the time had come, she delayed for another week before leaving the laboratory.

"Teacher, are you going out again?"

Medea looked at Hecate who was about to leave and asked curiously.

Although three months was a long time, Medea knew very well how much of a homebody her teacher was.

"Yeah." Hecate nodded and said casually, "Go and deal with the students' affairs."

"Oh...eh, my business?" Medea was stunned.

"No, it's about Jason."

"Jason?" Medea was stunned. "Who is he?"

"My student." Hecate winked at Medea, "Don't you know?"

"......Teacher, besides me, you also have Aunt Circe. When did you have students again?!" Medea was shocked.

"Ah, didn't I say that?" Hecate was confused.

Didn't I tell you? ...It seems like I've been diving straight into research since I came back. I really didn't tell you.

Medea nodded frantically.

"I see...I went out three months ago and picked up a student."

"Picked...then why didn't you bring him back, teacher?" Medea asked in surprise: "And three months ago...wait, so he is my junior fellow apprentice, right?"

"Junior brother?... Well, I guess so." Hecate said without much concern and prepared to go out.

"Wait, teacher, teacher, please take me with you!" Medea said anxiously when she saw this.

She clearly cared about Hecate's new student and even seemed excited about having a junior fellow student!

Because Hecate's temple is in the underworld, Medea usually dares not go out, and there is nothing fun to do outside.

At the same time, Hecate found it troublesome, so the entire temple, except for Medea, was filled with puppets created by Hecate and driven by divine power.

Hecate usually stayed in the laboratory for a long time, so Medea didn't even have anyone to talk to.

"You follow?...Well, forget it this time. I have something I need him to do, and it's not convenient for you to go." Hecate thought for a while and shook her head at Medea.

"Is that so..." Medea's mood visibly dropped when she heard this, but Medea obviously would not go against her teacher, Hecate, the goddess she believed in.

Therefore, I could only comfort myself in my heart that we would meet soon anyway!

Chapter 9 Hecate's Mission

underworld,

Jason has lived for three months in the River of Fire, which is known as one of the five rivers of the underworld, but is actually filled not with water of the underworld but with fire.

"Come here, Jason, this is your fire lotus today." The fire spirit here... is actually a kind of god that was born.

The royal sister fire spirit, whose body was wrapped in flames, handed a dark lotus burning with nether fire to Jason who was sitting on a stone.

Jason took it, deftly scraped off the petals of the fire lotus, and began to chew them. He said to the floating Fire Spirit beside him, "Sister Fire Spirit, when do you think the teacher will come to pick me up? It's been three months, right?"

"Hmm... Why don't you want to accompany your sister so soon, little Jason?" The Fire Spirit smiled at Jason and said, "You are such a pity that your sister has been so fond of you for the past three months!"

Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but shudder when he recalled his experiences in the past three months. Just as he was about to say something to the Fire Spirit.

"Well...it seems that you have gained more than I expected in these three months." As the dark butterflies fluttered, Hecate walked out from the shadows.

Looking at Jason who was ignoring the nether fire and eating the fire lotus with both hands, Hecate turned her gaze to the fire spirit and said, "That's thoughtful."

"It's okay." The fire spirit smiled and shook his head at Hecate, then looked at Jason who hurriedly stood up and performed the teacher-student ceremony to Hecate.

"I really like this kid, especially when he was first burned by my flames but didn't say a word. He was so cute, hehe!"

To put it simply, after Hecate left, Jason not only swam in the river of suffering of the ferry god, but also suffered the baptism of the eternal fire.

The spirit of this land personally baptizes the body with flames!

Although the Fire Spirit did not dare to touch Jason's soul without Hecate and a god with the power of life, it was obviously possible to baptize Jason's body!

During these three months, Jason's fire resistance was almost maxed out, and even ordinary divine fire could hardly cause him any harm!

"Goddess Hecate, you came here to temper his soul, right? But...are you here alone?"

The Fire Spirit looked around, but saw no other goddess except Hecate.

"Something unexpected happened. She didn't come." Hecate shook her head. "She must have been hidden by her mother again. She didn't receive any contact from me."

"Really... Then, Goddess Hecate, if it were just you, even if the child has become accustomed to the Eternal Underworld Fire, wouldn't you also..."

"I'm not thinking of tempering his soul right now." Hecate said, looking at Jason and said, "Jason, go get her."

Jason, who was listening to the conversation between the two, was stunned when he heard this, as was Hecate, who was confused.

"Go find Persephone. If she knows it's me, she'll definitely come. She must have been hidden by her mother, Demeter. As for how to find her... you can first go to the Caucasus Mountains to look for Prometheus. He will help you."

Demeter, Persephone?

Jason pondered the two names for a moment, then remembered.

Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, grain and harvest, is one of the twelve Olympian gods, and Persephone is her daughter.

As for Prometheus, he is naturally more famous. In mythology, it was he who brought fire to mankind!

At the same time, Demeter did often hide her daughter Persephone, because Persephone was beautiful and was a very beautiful goddess even among goddesses.

Therefore, in order to avoid being killed by Zeus and other gods, Demeter hid her.

"It seems like Persephone hasn't become the Queen of the Underworld yet... So, the teacher and Persephone are close, right?" Jason thought to himself, then nodded to Hecate.

"Persephone... As the daughter of the great goddess Demeter, she is indeed enough."

The Fire Spirit also nodded, then looked at Jason and said regretfully: "But if that's the case, little Jason will have to leave. Then, no one will come here to talk to me."

"Sister Huo Ling, I will come to see you often."

"So good!" The Fire Spirit pinched Jason's cheek and said with a smile: "Come on, just for what you said, sister will give you a good thing!"

As he spoke, the Fire Spirit waved his hand, and the river of fire beside him began to surge with eternal flames, and the netherworld fire gathered towards the Fire Spirit's hand and gathered in the Fire Spirit's hand.

Eventually, these flames evolved into the lotus petals Jason was familiar with, twelve in total.

When handing the petals to Jason, the fire spirit said, "When you encounter danger outside, swallow one and spit it out to burn them to death!"

Hearing this, Jason looked at Hecate, and after Hecate nodded, Jason stepped forward and gratefully accepted the gift from the fire spirit.

After Jason took it, Hecate said, "Don't use this thing unless it's necessary... You are under my protection and have been soaked in Hades water, so you are fine, but people outside, even demigods.

If you get caught in this flame, your soul will be burned to ashes."

After Hecate finished her addition, Jason's hand trembled and he almost lost his grip.

Jason heard from the two that if the soul is finished, it can't even enter the underworld!

These twelve pieces can at least wipe out the existence of twelve people!

Unless the soul is still on record.

Afterwards, Jason was taken out of the underworld by Hecate.

Then he left the place where the underworld appeared, which was also a place Jason was very familiar with.

It is in the Arcadia region, around the cave of the Centaur sage Chiron!

After sending her to the destination, she handed a black feather to Jason and told him to burn it at night after finding Persephone, and she would appear when he called her name. Jason couldn't help but look at Hecate a few times, thinking that this seemed a bit strange.

But he didn't say much. After saying goodbye to Hecate, he returned to the cave of Pyrrhon.

As soon as he entered the cave, he met Chiron, who had sensed his presence and rushed over.

"How come you're back so soon!"

Seeing Jason coming back after only three months, Chiron was naturally quite surprised!
