"Geryon's cattle, the sound of his harp that resounds through the underworld, my child Asclepius, and my beloved Coronis... these are the tributes you have offered me, and they are the best tributes I have ever received."
Apollo gazed tenderly at the young man before him and said, "Each of them brings me unprecedented satisfaction...Ah, if you weren't Hecate's child, I would definitely fight Artemis!"
No, Lord Apollo, please don’t, we can discuss it, really everything can be discussed!
"I accept these tributes, and therefore... accept my gift, Jason."
After saying that, Apollo turned his head and looked at the dazzling sun in the blue sky.
Then he stretched out his hand towards the sun and took out a golden bow from the light shining from the sun.
"From today on, this bow... is yours."
Holding the golden bow, Apollo handed it to Jason.
All of this was naturally seen by the gods who were observing in secret.
Although most gods had already anticipated this scene.
But when they really saw with their own eyes Apollo giving his natal artifact - the bow, to Jason.
The eyes of many gods were still wide open.
"The bow of Apollo, the god of light, and the arrows of Artemis, the goddess of the moon... Has this child finally assembled this legendary weapon?"
Not far away, Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea, sighed.
"This weapon...if I'm not mistaken, even among the gods, it only exists in legends, right?"
Amphitrite's sister, the goddess Calliroe, also sighed.
"Ah."
Amphitrite nodded and said, "After all, both the bow and the arrow are the natal artifacts of Apollo and Artemis.
Besides the God King Zeus, there's practically no being in the world today that could force the two of them to fight together... but in reality, it wasn't like no gods had ever seen such a thing before."
"Oh?" Kaliloe looked at Amphitrite in surprise.
After hesitating for a while, Amphitrite said, "I vaguely remember Poseidon mentioning this...
Back then, Hera persecuted their mother, the goddess Leto.
He once sent a vicious and cruel pest, the giant python Python, to devour the goddess.
In that incident, Poseidon created strong winds and waves to block the path of Python and protect the goddess Leto. But when Leto gave birth to her children Apollo and Artemis, the python Python found them.
At that time, the goddess Leto was unable to fight due to the pain of childbirth, and her good sister, the goddess Asteria, who was also the mother of Hecate, turned into an island and was also unable to fight.
So at that dangerous moment, the newly born Apollo grew up into a young male god at an extremely fast speed, borrowed the arrow from Artemis, and shot Artemis' arrow with his own bow! "
"Oh, what then?" Kaliroe looked curiously at Amphitrite who stopped talking here.
Amphitrite glanced at Calliroe, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Then the giant python Pithong was pierced by the arrow, and Hera, the Queen of Heaven, no longer threatened them and acknowledged their identities."
Amphitrite said, looking up at Jason who took the bow.
"Because Poseidon said that the arrow not only pierced Pythian, but also... flew towards Hera, the Queen of Heaven, who was sitting on Mount Olympus!
That arrow almost took the life of Queen Hera!
But it was ultimately blocked... by the God King Zeus himself, at the cost of injury!"
"Injured?" Kaliroe was stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes and asked, "You mean that arrow...the one Apollo shot when he was just born, and it injured the God King Zeus?!"
"Be quiet! ...Just listen to it, don't tell anyone."
Amphitrite glared at Calliroe, who was extremely shocked, and then watched Jason take Apollo's bow, and then the bow disappeared in front of Jason, and said: "Yes... if Poseidon had not deceived me.
After all, because there were too many people involved in that incident, few gods dared to spy on it... But no matter what, it is very obvious now.
In this world, someone has appeared who has acquired the legendary power... and it's a human child! "
Kaliroe was stunned for a moment as he listened to Amphitrite's words.
Then he looked at Jason, sized him up, and said, "According to what you said, this child now..."
"What are you thinking? He's just a child after all... and most importantly, he's just an ordinary mortal. He doesn't possess the power of Apollo, the God of Light.
Therefore, if you want to use Apollo's bow, you can only do so during the day when light shines on the earth.
If you want to use the arrows of Artemis, the moon goddess, you can only do so on a dark night when the moonlight falls on the earth.
Therefore... if he wanted to shoot Artemis' arrow with Apollo's bow, there were only two moments in the day when he could do so."
"Which two moments?"
Amphitrite looked up at the blue sky and the sun shining on the earth. After a moment, she replied, "At sunrise, when the first ray of light illuminates the night, the moment when the night has not yet completely faded away!
At sunset, when the full moon appears in the sky and darkness falls but does not completely block out the light!
simply put.
It is the first arrival of dawn.
The end of dusk.

Chapter 3 Jason, once again embarked on a journey (k)
"Oh right...you should keep it as well."
Just as Jason accepted Apollo's 'gift', the golden bow and arrow disappeared in the light in front of Jason.
Apollo took out another thing that Jason was very familiar with.
That golden sword.
In the underworld, Jason handed it over to Asclepius and protected Asclepius and his mother.
So naturally the sword finally returned to Apollo's hands.
Athena's guide, Asclepius, was also returned to Jason.
This sword was the weapon that Apollo lent to Jason... It was because Jason made his first journey three years ago to save Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld.
As the legend goes, it was recited by Atalanta among the hunters of Arcadia, the paradise of nature.
This sharp sword killed all the enemies that stood in Jason's way.
Jason looked at the golden sword handed to him by Apollo, and looked at Apollo for a while. After a brief hesitation, Apollo and the gods who were secretly observing were surprised that Jason did not take it.
Instead, he shook his head at Apollo.
"No, Master Apollo, it...is time to return it to you."
Jason refused Apollo's golden sword.
As he spoke, a golden bow appeared in Jason's hand. Jason smiled at the stunned Apollo and said, "I took it three years ago because I had no other choice but to rely on it. But now..."
Moreover, I have already received your gift, Master Apollo, so it is time for me to return it to you and stop relying on it."
Hearing this, Apollo came back to his senses.
In the blink of an eye, Jason disappeared and turned sixteen years old, growing into a young man, with most of the childishness on his face gone.
Apollo gradually smiled, sheathed his sword, and said, "Yes, you really don't need to rely on it anymore... My child, as promised, you must return this sword to me today."
"And in accordance with our second agreement, you also presented me with beautiful piano music. Your plucking of the strings even attracted the attention of the nine Muses!"
"So... this is my reward for you."
As he spoke, the golden lyre appeared in Apollo's hand. Apollo took it and placed it in Jason's hand.
This isn't a gift, it's a reward...
A gift bestowed upon Jason by Apollo, the god of light.
Jason looked at the golden lyre in his hand, hesitated for a moment, looked up at Apollo, and wanted to refuse.
But after looking into Apollo's eyes, Jason finally took it.
Because Jason realized that Apollo was determined to give it to him, and if he refused, it would make him angry.
Although the surrounding gods were a little surprised by the gift given by Apollo, after all, the lyre was Apollo's favorite.
By the way, this lyre was given to him by Hermes as an apology for the unreasonable behavior of the sacred bull.
But it was just a little bit unexpected.
And considering what happened in the underworld not long ago, everyone felt that the lyre was indeed worthy of Jason.
But this... Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea, who was watching from the side, felt a headache.
Because she had originally planned to borrow Jason's azure harp as a future gift to Jason.
But now...how can I still give it as a gift?
"No... Looks like I have to go back and talk to Poseidon, the Sea King!"
Amphitrite hesitated for a moment. Although she really wanted to play with Jason for a while, she could only grit her teeth and hold her sister's hand.
The land that she left reluctantly.
At this point, Jason fulfilled his long-standing agreement with Apollo, the god of light, and also offered Apollo a satisfactory tribute.
Thus he received the gift from Apollo - the lyre, and the gift from Apollo - the bow.
At this point, Jason officially
Artemis, the original moon goddess.
That night of romance was dedicated to Artemis, the goddess who had everything, was pampered, and therefore the easiest to deal with.
Thus he received a gift from Artemis - the arrow of the moon.
Later, Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen.
I offer my care to the goddess Hephaestus, who has nothing and suffers neglect, and is therefore the most difficult but also the easiest to deal with.
Thus he received a gift from Hephaestus - the forging skills of the god of craftsmen.
Then came Ares, the god of war, who cut in line.
A passionate battle was fought against Ares, the god of war who is the symbol of strength and power, bloodthirsty and the embodiment of human disaster.
Thus he received a gift from the god of war Ares - the belt of the god of war.
Now it is Apollo.
Happiness is offered to Apollo, the tragic god who appears to be the most dazzling and happy but is actually the most miserable and can never get what he has.
He brought back Asclepius and his companion Coronis from the underworld to his side, and thus neutralized the relationship between Apollo and his child Asclepius.
At the same time, the promise with Apollo was also fulfilled.
......In fact, Jason undoubtedly prepared the most tribute to Apollo, the god of light.
Geryon's sacred bull, learning the art of playing the lyre from Amphitrite, the sea queen, the battle in the underworld... What a long journey this is!
But just as Jason said, he had always relied on the sword Apollo lent him, so he must repay the favor... Jason obviously did it.
Jason, who returned the golden sword, also received gifts and blessings from Apollo.
Gift - the bow of the God of Light, boon - the lyre.
So now... it's time to fulfill the agreement with Hermes, the messenger of the gods, and rescue Io who is being guarded by the hundred-eyed giant Argus!
And now, Jason, who possesses the belt of the god of war, the bow of the god of light, and the arrows of the moon goddess, has fully met all the conditions.
If all the conditions for shooting are met, it will become a legendary arrow among the gods!
After rescuing Io, what awaited Jason was Athena's tribute - the Golden Fleece, and the tribute from Hades and Persephone - the wedding of the underworld.
Obviously, these lively days...will continue for a long time!
