Afterwards, Jason lived around this ancient forest for a while... To be honest, after learning that Amphitrite and Calliroe had run away, Jason was really worried... As for what he was worried about, everyone understands.
Fortunately, in addition to Asclepius who was staying in the laboratory, Apollo now had a companion, Coronis.
After spending a few days together, Jason suddenly felt that helping Asclepius bring Coronis out of the underworld was the best decision he had ever made in his life!
Because just as a day apart feels like three years, these two old lovers who have been separated for a long time are good people. Apollo has no time to care about Jason recently.
This made Jason so happy that he almost shed tears of excitement!
Although it is said that like father like son, and Apollo did have many romantic debts, but for Coronis, the woman who was once burned to death by his own hands and now returned to his side, not to mention the fact that there was also the factor of Asclepius.
Apollo swore to protect her throughout her life.
Thus, by accident, Jason solved a big problem for himself unconsciously.
In this way, time passed little by little.
Jason went to the underworld every night to annoy Hecate, and annoyed Hecate so much that she almost wanted to run away from home.
One night, a week after the general's death, a golden lightning suddenly struck from the night sky.
Then the earth cracked open, and the chariot of the underworld rushed out from the cracked earth. The noble Hades, the god of the underworld, came to the human world in person.
Jason then understood that Brother Asclepius...he had succeeded!
In fact, just as Jason thought, after a while, Asclepius appeared in front of Jason with obvious black eyes and without a rest for about a week.
At this moment, although death has come to Asclepius, there is only excitement and no fear on his face.
He came before Jason and handed him a golden potion...That was the magic potion that Asclepius had spent his entire life creating, a magic potion that could bring the dead back to life!
He gave it to Jason.
There is also half of a golden apple.
Then he came before Hades, the god of the underworld in a leisurely manner.
Just as Asclepius was about to leave, Apollo appeared. Regarding Apollo's appearance, Asclepius' expression was a little complicated...
Finally, he looked at Jason again.
then......
"Father, I'm leaving."
Asclepius said this softly, and under Apollo's slightly stunned and unbelieving gaze, he turned and entered Hades' chariot.
Then Hades drove the chariot back to the underworld, and the cracked earth returned to its original state.
Jason watched Asclepius leave silently...
"This should be a hero."
Jason said softly, "So I...will never become a hero...ever!"
The next day, it was time for Jason to leave.
early morning,
Just as he returned from the underworld and was about to ride away on Pegasus, to his surprise, Apollo and nine Muses appeared before him.
They came to see Jason off.
So in the music played by Apollo and the accompaniment of the nine Muses, in that beautiful sound.
Jason, dressed in white, sat on a holy Pegasus with white wings spread out, flying towards the blue sky.
Once again, I embarked on my own journey.
Chapter 4: 'Encounter' Atalanta (k)
Three days later,
That evening, Jason, who was riding on the holy Pegasus and on his way, had to stop.
Because the Pegasus was clearly flying high in the sky, but suddenly, a silver branch fell from the moon that appeared.
It hit Jason's head right on target.
"Ouch......"
Jason, who was hit by the silver branch, touched his head and looked at the branch in his arms in confusion.
After thinking for a while, Jason finally understood what was going on. He sighed helplessly, patted Pegasus's head, and said, "Brother Ma, let's go down and rest for a while."
Tianma took a look at the silver branch in Jason's hand and obviously understood what was going on.
Pegasus looked at Jason sympathetically, nodded, and brought Jason to a mountain road and landed there.
When they reached the ground, Pegasus folded his wings. When Jason was looking around, he saw the branch in his hand suddenly float up slowly and tapped Jason's head gently again.
Then it floated beside Jason and pointed out the direction for him.
Jason and Pegasus looked at each other, and Jason shrugged his shoulders, so the man and Pegasus had no choice but to walk in the direction indicated by the silver branch.
After a while, night fell completely and the bright moonlight shone on them.
Jason and Pegasus also came to a cliff. As they continued to walk forward...
"Stop, you passing human!"
A slightly harsh female voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Jason and Pegasus. They subconsciously stopped and looked towards the person and horse who were coming from the sound.
Then they saw a monster slowly walking out of the shadows, coming under the moonlight, and in front of Jason and Pegasus.
This is a female evil creature named Sphinx.
It has a human face, a pair of huge wings, and a lion's body.
The same creature is very similar - the Egyptian Sphinx!
When Jason saw this monster, he was just stunned.
But as another figure followed the Sphinx out of the shadows, Jason completely understood what was going on.
I know which god stopped me.
It's Artemis, the moon goddess.
At the same time, Jason's face showed embarrassment.
Because the person who appeared before Jason with the Sphinx, although not Artemis, was still an acquaintance of Jason, and Jason still owed her something...
That’s right, it’s related to Artemis. Jason still owes someone something to deal with. Who else could it be except Atalanta, Artemis’ most loyal follower?
"...Long time no see, Jason."
Bathed in moonlight, Atalanta, a hunter dressed in beautiful emerald green clothes, looked at Jason and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Those beautiful emerald eyes revealed a dangerous aura at this moment, as if... locking onto prey!
"Well, long time no see Atalanta."
Jason showed a slightly embarrassed but polite smile and said, "What a coincidence! I was just about to look for you. Ouch..."
As soon as Jason spoke, his head was gently tapped by a silver branch floating beside him, obviously telling Jason not to lie.
Atalanta was slightly stunned when she saw this, and then she seemed to understand something, and her eyes looked at Jason even more unfriendly.
Just when the atmosphere between the two was becoming a little awkward and Pegasus was watching the show with his head down eating grass, the Sphinx, who didn't know how to choose the right time, jumped out.
It looked at Jason and Atalanta and asked in confusion, "Do you know each other?"
"......snort."
Atalanta clasped her hands in front of her, snorted softly and turned her head away, her long light yellow hair swaying slightly in the night breeze.
As for Atalanta's cold attitude again, Jason, who was obviously in the wrong this time, could only rub his nose and admit defeat!
Who made Jason run away with someone else's bow, and he didn't even think about returning it? Jason felt that he would be angry too!
"Forget it. Whether you recognize me or not has nothing to do with me."
After looking at the two of them for a while, Sphinx shook his head and said, "But since you two know each other, it's perfect.
Humans, you hear, my name is Sphinx. If you want to pass by me, you need to answer my riddle.
If the answer is correct, I will let you go.
If you answer wrong, I will eat you!"
"He has nothing to do with me. I answer mine and he answers his!" Atalanta said to the Sphinx indifferently: "Ask now..."
"and many more!"
Jason interrupted Atalanta, stepped forward and grabbed Atalanta's hand. Ignoring her struggle, he said to her, "Apologize, I promise to apologize... Be obedient, this is not the time to be angry!"
Atalanta glared at Jason who said this to her, and her angry look made her look as if she was about to bite him...but in fact, it was just an appearance.
Atalanta's struggle was actually not as intense as Jason had imagined, which made Jason feel a little surprised.
But it was obviously a good thing at the moment, so Jason didn't think about it any further.
Then his eyes rolled, and Jason, who had caught Atalanta, turned to the Sphinx and said, “My Lord Sphinx, may I ask you a question? ... How long do we have to think about your riddle before we answer it?
For example, if you tell us now, we can discuss it and give you an answer tomorrow morning, okay?"
"can."
Perhaps because Jason's attitude was so good, the Sphinx nodded and said, "I can give you this much time.
But you are not allowed to run away, because if I find out that you have escaped, I swear in the name of all the gods that I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!
Now, listen to my riddle:
What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? And when it has the most legs, it also walks the slowest and has the least energy!
.....Remember this, you only have one night. If you can't answer tomorrow morning, I will eat you!"
The Sphinx spoke confidently, obviously very confident in his riddle, thinking that Jason and Atalanta would not be able to guess it.
As she smelled the riddle it gave, Atalanta frowned, obviously having not thought of the answer.
Then Atalanta looked at Jason naturally and found that Jason was looking at the Sphinx with a slightly strange look.
Atalanta was slightly stunned.
This guy...already knows the answer?
As Atalanta was thinking this, Jason came to his senses and nodded slightly to the Sphinx. He said, "I understand, Lord Sphinx. We will return before sunrise tomorrow to answer your riddle."
After saying this, Jason took Atalanta away.
Tianma followed quietly.
The two of them came to a quiet place in the woods, and Jason let go of Atalanta.
Before Atalanta could say anything, Jason immediately put his hands together and said to Atalanta sincerely, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Atalanta!
And this is your Sky Bow, I hope you can forgive me!"
Atalanta looked at Jason in surprise, obviously not expecting him to admit his mistake so decisively.
Because Atalanta had actually seen quite a few heroes who had clearly done something wrong but would never admit their mistakes for the sake of face.
Although Jason always said that he was not a hero and would never become a hero, Atalanta had also heard Jason say these words.
But in Atalanta's heart, even if she would not admit it, she also regarded Jason as a hero... and the hero that best fits her imagination.
"I really needed your bow at that time, so I took it away, because at that time, apart from your bow, Atalanta, I really had no way to shoot the gift given to me by the great moon goddess Artemis.
As for my side of the story...Atalanta, you know something about it too.
So I’m really sorry!”
Be proactive in admitting your mistakes and be sincere!
Atalanta looked at Jason who was apologizing to her in silence for a while, and reached out to pick up the Bow of the Sky.
After Atalanta took the Bow of the Sky, Jason looked up at Atalanta, who was stroking the Bow of the Sky and no longer looking at himself.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously, "Um...Atalanta, have you forgiven me?"
Atalanta glanced at Jason and did not answer.
