Then Amphitrite took Jason into the temple and came to a palace full of gorgeous decorations, from which she found a sea-blue harp.
Amphitrite took the harp and gently plucked its strings. After nodding with satisfaction, she quickly left the temple with Jason.
When the two returned to the island, Amphitrite gave the harp to Jason and asked him to play it for her on the spot.
Although Jason didn't quite understand what Amphitrite meant, he still took it and played with all his might.
With Chiron's meticulous instruction and Jason's three years of tireless study, which even annoyed Hecate so much that she put a sign in the temple prohibiting Jason from touching his lyre, Jason naturally learned some of the essentials.
The song even attracted many sea nymphs who came here to listen to the music.
"Yes, but... if you are going to dedicate this to Apollo, the god of light and music, it is not enough."
Amphitrite said this, reaching out to take back the deep sea-colored harp, and began to play it beautifully in front of Jason.
Smelling the music played by Amphitrite, Jason was surprised to find that it was not much worse than the music he had heard from Apollo, the god of light!
"How about it?"
After playing briefly for a while, Amphitrite looked at Jason with a smile.
"It sounds very nice!" Jason said seriously.
Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to compare her with Apollo.
"Want to learn? I can teach you... and I promise you'll be able to do it in about a week."
"......Eh?"
Jason was stunned for a moment.
"And I won't just teach you how to play the qin. I also know a way to please Apollo."
Amphitrite said, turning her head and pointing her finger into the distance, “On an island not far away over there, there lived a giant named Geryon.
He owned a herd of reddish-brown cattle, which he entrusted to the care of the centaur Eurytion and the two-headed dog Autosus.
If you could offer those cattle to Apollo, he would be very happy.
And I can help you get those sacred bulls and bring them to Apollo."
Jason remained silent this time, looking at Amphitrite.
Amphitrite turned back to look at Jason, smiled, and said, "Why, do you find it strange that I'm helping you so much even though this is our first meeting... Do you know why I stopped you and Pegasus just now?"
"Because I recently heard a rumor from my sister by chance."
Amphitrite said this and once again played the deep blue harp in her hand. Her lips moved slightly, and she sang like a bard: "It is said that there was a hero named Hercules.
He was wearing a white robe woven for him by the goddess herself and riding a holy Pegasus.
He has golden hair, emerald eyes, and a handsome appearance just like Apollo, the god of light.
One day, he obeyed the oracle of the gods and rode a holy Pegasus from the starry sky on a moonlit night to the land of Lycia.
He came before a terrible monster called Chimera, which had the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and a tail of a python.
With magical power, he defeated the Chimera that had turned the earth into a wasteland.
Then he came to a small island where there lived a barbarian named Antaeus who was unable to fight against the gods.
It is said that he is the child of Gaia, the goddess of the earth, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, and therefore he will never fail as long as he stands on the ground.
And this great and wise hero lifted the barbarian high up, cut off his hands and feet, and threw him into the sea.
Then I started my journey again..."
After the recitation, Amphitrite tucked up a strand of light blue hair from her earlobe, smiled at Jason, winked at him, and said with a smile: "Now, child, do you understand why I helped you?"
"And from the beginning, I actually have a question that I have always wanted to ask you.
Since you are Hecate's child, what is the name of this Hercules...?"

Well... wait for two days and see if I can update it, speed up the plot, and adjust the status.
Chapter 4: As long as it's a god, there will be trouble (k)
Facing the curious gaze of Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea.
Jason couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
Tianma couldn't help laughing at this.
You can hide here and there, but you will have to pay for what you have done.
The gods were not fools. Even if Jason had given himself a false name, the legendary hero, dressed in white like snow, with golden hair and eyes, riding a holy Pegasus...
Looking at Jason in front of him, it is obvious that he is very recognizable.
At the same time, at this moment, Jason seemed to have noticed something and subconsciously looked down at the silver bracelet in his hand.
It was a divine artifact commissioned by Athena and created by Hephaestus to block the perception of Hera, the Queen of Heaven.
And now, even Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea who is far away in the sea, knows about it, so... does Hera know about it too?
Thinking of this, Jason couldn't help but shudder.
"What's wrong, child?" Seeing this, Amphitrite said softly to Jason, "Are you feeling cold?"
"No, no..." Jason answered, then lowered his head and looked away under Amphitrite's beautiful blue eyes.
Amphitrite looked at Jason who was standing at the front and couldn't help blinking.
This child must have some connection to Hera, right? But why wouldn't she say it? ...Amphitrite thought so, and then, perhaps vaguely sensing that the situation seemed quite interesting, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
She undoubtedly wanted to know more about Jason now, but Amphitrite was not in a hurry.
Then Amphitrite plucked the harp again with her white hands, looked at Jason with a smile, and said, "So, child, what do you think of my proposal?"
Learning the art of playing the lyre from Amphitrite, and also giving the group of brown and red cattle to Apollo and Geryon... Jason hesitated for a while.
Finally, he saluted Amphitrite and said helplessly in his heart: "Then I'll trouble you, the honorable Queen of the Sea, Goddess Amphitrite."
The more you resist, the more excited the other person is likely to become.
It’s better to let nature take its course, which may be better!
Seeing that Jason agreed, Amphitrite nodded with satisfaction.
This era is the Age of Gods in ancient Greece.
Amphitrite is an ancient goddess. For these Greek gods, sometimes there is not much need for many reasons to help a child.
Even most of the time, it’s enough to just look at it.
So from that day on, Jason stayed by Amphitrite's side and learned the skills of playing the harp from her.
However, what Jason did not expect was that when he was learning the piano from Amphitrite.
There is a noble goddess who is searching for him all over the continent.
That was naturally the one who stopped Athena's oracle. She was one of the oldest gods in the entire Olympus, the mother of Hera, Zeus, Hades, Poseidon and others, and the queen of the second generation of gods - Rhea!
It might be because he hadn't been out for too long, and when Jason was following Amphitrite, Amphitrite subconsciously let the sea cover up Jason's whereabouts.
Rhea, who was wandering on the continent, even went to call Hades, but in the end she still couldn't find any trace of Jason!
It wasn't just Rhea who was looking for Jason. Hera also sent people to look for the hero 'Hercules' who was dressed in white and riding a Pegasus!
Hera didn't know that the man was Jason, because she didn't know that Hestia had placed the Pegasus next to Jason after asking for it.
At the same time, due to the concealment of the gods, Hera did not know much about Jason, and now subconsciously believed that Jason was still hiding with Hecate or Chiron.
And this time, the person she sent to find Hercules was none other than Ares, the god of war!
Of course, Jason would not know about all this.
Then in the blink of an eye, a week passed.
......
......
A week later,
This morning.
Jason, dressed in white, was on the shore of a beautiful island, gently playing the beautiful sea-blue harp in his hand.
Next to Jason were squatting on the shore, strange creatures that looked half like birds and half like women. Their names were Sirens.
The Sirens, a group of sea monsters, were rumored to be the daughters of the river god Ekroeus, beautiful fairies born from his blood.
Because he lost the music competition with the Muses, the Muses plucked his wings, making him unable to fly.
Please note that although they are beautiful in appearance, you must not get lost in their singing, otherwise you will turn into bones on the island.
At this moment, these beautiful and strange banshees who had transformed into human form were staring at the handsome young man in front of them, who was as dazzling as the god of light Apollo, with dissatisfaction.
And she sang a graceful song to the beautiful sound of Jason's piano.
The beautiful melody collides with Jason's graceful piano sound, and the two are engaged in a musical confrontation.
Under the voices of the two, a gentle breeze blew, the water was calm, and even the white clouds and seagulls seemed to be listening attentively.
For a moment, the world seemed to be filled with only the conflicting voices of the two.
And due to the magic of the Ocean Harp in Jason's hand, the blue sea, influenced by the sound of the harp, rhythmically beats on the sea surface to cheer for Jason.
This went on for a while.
"Okay."
Clapping his hands, Amphitrite, the noble goddess in a light blue dress, came to Jason's side without him noticing.
Her appearance interrupted the musical confrontation.
She was so elegant that she reached out and touched Jason's golden hair.
With a gentle smile on his face, he whispered to Jason, “My child, you are even better than I thought, although I have a feeling that in a week you will be enough to pluck my harp.
But I never thought that you could suppress the Siren's song with just the sound of your piano."
Hearing Amphitrite's words, the little fairies couldn't help but look very dissatisfied, but they naturally knew who this noble goddess in front of them was. She was the queen of the sea, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
"Goddess Amphitrite, all this is thanks to your guidance."
Jason held the harp in his arms and bowed to Amphitrite.
Amphitrite smiled at Jason before her, caressing his cheek lovingly. She couldn't help but sigh softly, saying, "I've never felt the passage of time so fleeting... If I hadn't recently made a special trip to the mainland, my child, I'd really like to invite you to the Temple of Poseidon as my guest."
Having said this, Amphitrite sighed regretfully, and then said to Jason: "We should leave, child.
If you can pluck the strings of my harp and sing with the Sirens, even if Apollo appears before you now, he will acknowledge your skill in playing the harp.
But this alone is not enough for you to obtain Apollo's gift.
Follow me, and I will lead you to the island of Erythia, where the reddish-brown cattle will please Apollo."
And so, Jason prepared to leave the island where he had been for the week.
Before leaving, he specially came to the group of sirens who were looking at him with dissatisfaction and expressed his gratitude to them for the time being.
Although Jason knew in his heart that if Amphitrite had not warned them, they might have attacked him long ago.
The Sirens were surprised by Jason's gratitude.
You looked at me, I looked at you, and for a moment we seemed to be at a loss.
At this moment, Jason, who had thanked them, had returned to Amphitrite.
Accompanied by him, he sat on the holy Pegasus and set off to fly into the blue sky.
Looking at the two people and Tianma leaving, the sirens looked at each other in confusion. After a moment of silence, it was unknown which siren took the lead and sang a beautiful song.
Then more and more sirens responded, and the land was filled with beautiful songs again.
