Hearing this, under Athena's gaze, Jason lowered his head slightly and looked away... He didn't know how to answer.

Never lie to the gods, because they can see through it at a glance.

But the matter of the magic spear obviously cannot be explained.

At the same time, and most importantly, Jason was not sure how much Athena, the goddess of wisdom, knew through the magic spear!

As Athena looked at Jason like this, her long-held doubts were finally confirmed...

There is definitely something wrong with this child!

Athena had this doubt when Hecate hinted to her in front of Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen.

However, Athena still doesn't know what it is.

After all, the left eye of the prophet Prometheus is now suppressing Jason's fate, and even Athena cannot see it.

Then, just when Jason didn't know what to say to Athena, Athena looked at Jason deeply and took the initiative to change the subject.

Regarding the irreversible injuries on the hundred-headed dragon Ladon.

Upon hearing this, Jason hesitated for a while, then took out his magic spear and pointed at Ladon, and the injuries on the hundred-headed dragon Ladon were healed.

As for Jason's injuries, Athena naturally repaired them completely while Jason was asleep.

"I'm sorry, Lord Ladon. I didn't mean to offend you... Although I know my request is a bit shameless, I still hope you can forgive me."

Faced with Jason who spoke to him sincerely, the largest blue dragon head on Ladon's body couldn't help but turn its head away, obviously not appreciating it... Anyone would be angry if they were suddenly beaten like this!

Not to mention, it almost died at the hands of Jason!

But soon Ladon found himself being stared at... by Athena, who narrowed her eyes slightly.

So Ladon shuddered slightly, and then just when he was about to forgive Jason reluctantly.

"Jason, go pick two golden apples," Athena said, glancing at Ladon and saying, "and give one to him."

Upon hearing this, Jason naturally understood what Athena meant. He looked at Athena, and after getting Athena's nod of permission, he took a golden wooden stick from her hand.

Jason took a golden stick and knocked down two golden apples from the golden apple tree. He gave one of them to Ladon as Athena instructed.

After taking the golden apple handed to him by Jason, Ladon happily forgave Jason... After all, although he was surprised and many of his heads were chopped off, the heads could still be kept alive.

The golden apple is such a good thing, but it is not so easy to get!

Seeing that Ladon had forgiven him, Jason breathed a sigh of relief... In fact, if Ladon really didn't intend to forgive Jason, Jason might really prepare to secretly find an opportunity to get rid of him...

"Lady Athena, this golden apple..." Just as Jason was about to give the remaining golden apple to Athena, Athena shook her head and said, "Take it for yourself...it's also part of the return gift for your tribute."

At this point, Athena suddenly paused, then smiled and said to Jason: "By the way, Jason, do you still remember our agreement?"

"Promise?" Jason looked at Athena in confusion.

"When we meet... it's time for you to offer tribute to me!" Athena looked at the puzzled Jason and said word by word.

Hearing this, Jason remembered it instantly.

Hephaestus, another teacher of Jason, once told Jason that Athena had even prepared a return gift, which was a shield.

"But Goddess Athena, the harp that Teacher Chiron gave me..."

"Hmm?" Athena raised her eyebrows slightly and asked Jason with a smile, "Little Jason, what did you say just now?"

"...No." Jason then said to Athena with a serious face, "I didn't say anything. I understand, Goddess Athena. I will do my best to prepare a tribute that will satisfy you!"

"So good." Upon hearing this, Athena nodded in satisfaction, walked forward and touched Jason's head happily.

Jason was naturally feeling helpless right now.

"But my tribute is not urgent for now... Little Jason, do you remember the oracle I gave you?"

"I remember." Jason nodded.

Apollo, the god of light, looks like the happiest god because he is the most handsome god in the world. No one can resist Apollo's charm.

But in fact he is the most miserable god, because he has never gotten what he wanted most!

"Yeah......"

Athena nodded, took a step back, and whispered to Jason, "Now, Jason, let me show you the way forward again.

In the endless abyss of Hades, there is an acquaintance of yours wandering there, and he also has a special relationship with Apollo.

Go find him in the underworld... Through him, you can offer Apollo a tribute that will satisfy him!"

Chapter 3 Jason's Argo! (k)

The next day, it was dawn.

Under the golden apple tree.

Just as Athena said, when the first ray of sunrise shone on Jason.

The red-haired god of war Ares, wearing crimson armor, appeared before Jason.

Looking at the god in front of him with extraordinary appearance, symbolizing war, killing and riot, the son of Queen Hera and King Zeus.

Jason hadn't had time to speak yet.

"Jason, come with me."

Ares' first words stunned Jason.

"Don't follow Athena, follow me!"

Ares said bluntly to Jason, "As long as I'm here, I guarantee you'll become the strongest hero. And if you follow me, Hera won't be angry with you anymore. This is much better than following that bitch Athena!"

Bitch...

Jason looked at Ares who said this to him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Ares, the Greek god of war.

He acted without thinking, as characteristically as he was brutal.

Unruly, savage and cruel.

But even though he is like this, the reason why he still has many followers in the world is because Ares is very loyal to those close to him, such as his children and subordinates. When they are humiliated, the God of War Ares will always stand up for them at all costs.

Ares also has a sense of mutual admiration for heroic leaders, which is very similar to the personality traits of Aries, the sign he protects - loyalty, impulsiveness, enthusiasm, etc.

This was also the reason why Athena left peacefully last night, allowing Jason and Ares to meet.

With yesterday's battle and the tribute, Ares would most likely save Jason even without the bet with Athena.

"Great God of War Ares, thank you very much for your kindness, but I am the child of Hecate, and I love her very much, so..."

"Oh, I forgot I'm not from Athena."

Ares was stunned for a moment after hearing Jason's cautious words, and then he suddenly realized: "I saw that bitch Athena was so interested in you yesterday, I thought you were hers... Forget it, as long as you are not hers, it's fine."

After that, under Jason's slightly strange gaze, Ares took out the golden belt of the god of war and handed it to Jason.

"Boy, come to me if you have any problems in the future, and I will help you solve them!" After giving the belt to Jason and patting Jason on the shoulder, Ares turned around and sat on the four-horse chariot and left.

Looking at Ares leaving, then looking at the belt in his hand, Jason thought for a while and tied it around himself.

After tying it on his body, Jason instantly felt his whole body filled with strength. Even the tiredness brought by last night's battle disappeared without a trace in an instant!

And with this belt of the god of war, Jason's current strength will be no less than that of the future Hercules!

But even so, Jason did not feel complacent because of the kindness shown by Ares.

After all, he knew very well how capricious these Greek gods were.

Getting along with Greek gods is like walking on a tightrope. If you are not careful, you will die in the bottomless abyss!

Jason, you must remember that there are not so many good things that can happen to you in this world. The grace and favor of the gods are things that only the "protagonist" can enjoy.

Life is long. In this world of Greek mythology where crises abound, despicable gods roam everywhere, and monsters reign supreme, you never know when you might inexplicably die. In order to survive in this world, you must be careful, careful, and careful!

Even though Jason now seems to have received gifts from various gods, deep in his heart, Jason still reminds himself all the time.

Make sure you don’t get carried away by everything in front of you!

Stories about being favored by gods are not uncommon in Greek mythology, but how many of them have a good ending?

In Greek mythology, most of the heroes end up in tragedy, and Jason doesn't want to follow in their footsteps!

To give the simplest example, even though Zeus and Ares have a good impression of Jason now.

But if there is a chance to cuckold Jason, they will definitely not be polite to Jason. In order to please some women or goddesses, they may even try to trip up Jason.

In fact, if Jason was not currently favored by various goddesses, Zeus who was interested in Jason might...

Apart from the male gods, the goddesses are actually more difficult to deal with.

Because sometimes an unintentional word may very likely bring about the goddess's revenge. Even though Jason is now favored by the goddess, this love may turn into hatred in the future.

Most of the goddess curses that many heroes "harvest" are obtained in this way.

"time to go......"

Clenching his fists and feeling the power brought by the Belt of the God of War, Jason slowly exhaled and said.

“Next, it’s time for Lord Apollo’s tribute.

After paying Apollo's tribute, it will be Hermes's... Once Hermes' tribute is finished, Goddess Athena will probably come to me."

Jason quietly sorted out his thoughts.

Then he looked up at the sky, and said goodbye to Ladon who was still guarding the golden apple. He felt relieved when Ladon looked at him as if to say 'you are finally gone'.

Jason turned and left the Garden of the Golden Apples.

His purpose is quite clear.

It is precisely because Jason has always had a clear view of himself that he keeps moving forward.

Twelve offerings to the gods, twelve gifts to the gods.
