For example, in the incident of the bull, one of the twelve trials of Hercules, King Minos of Crete used his cleverness to sacrifice to Poseidon, the god of the sea, and ended up angering Poseidon.
Now, Jason certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to say that the harp was taken away by Athena and was not a sacrificial offering.
But if he acquiesced, he would now have to offer a sacrifice to Hestia... No, it should be more than that.
Jason immediately realized that something was wrong.
Because Athena wouldn't show off to Hestia...
Oh my God, Lady Athena, you haven't even been to Demeter, Artemis, and Apollonia, have you?
Did Athena go? ...At this moment, in the ancient forest not far from Calydon, Athena was sitting before Artemis, the moon goddess.
Using the silver harp in his hand, he played beautiful melodies.
"You must be envious." Athena said to Artemis with a smile, "This is a gift that little Jason carefully prepared for me!"
"A gift from little Jason?" Artemis was stunned for a moment, then put her index finger to her lips and said enviously, "That's great... I want one too."
"Don't worry." Athena smiled. "Little Jason will definitely prepare a gift for you too. If I'm right, Hestia should have already gone to find him."
"Hestia went to find little Jason?...Does that have anything to do with my gift?" Artemis tilted her head.
In response, Athena smiled slightly and did not give any further explanation.
He continued plucking the strings, playing pleasant notes.
Twelve tributes to the gods, twelve...gifts from the gods.
Little Jason, our 'game' has begun.
Whatever tribute you can offer will satisfy them.
How many gifts from God can you gain?
Equal trials have equal rewards... This is Athena's usual style.
Athena muttered to herself, and finally tilted her head to look in Jason's direction, and then the corners of her mouth slowly rose.
Chapter 4.5 Jason: My name is Hercules! (k)
Athena, what on earth do you want to do?
Looking at the goddess Hestia who was looking at him with some expectation, Jason felt a headache.
Just give anything as a tribute? ...No, that's courting death!
At the same time, although letting the gods down will cause their dissatisfaction, if you deceive the gods, you will also be seeking death!
Realizing this, Jason knew that there was only one path left for him to choose.
"I'm sorry, Goddess Hestia."
So Jason took a deep breath and said to Hestia in an apologetic tone: "I haven't prepared your tribute yet, so Goddess Hestia, can you give me a little more time?
It won't be long before I present you with the tribute I carefully prepared!"
"I see... Since you're so honest, Jason, I'll just wait."
Hestia puffed her lips, pinched Jason's face, and continued, "But in that case, little Jason, your tribute must not disappoint me!"
"...Yes I understand, Lady Hestia."
As expected, it turned into a difficult incident.
Jason felt helpless.
To satisfy the goddess Hestia... No, maybe it's not just Hestia, Artemis, Apollo, and Demeter are probably also...
Thinking of this, Jason felt his head start to ache again.
Once again, I deeply realized how troublesome God is!
"Let's not talk about the tribute for now. Little Jason, are you going to continue your journey tonight?"
Jason nodded to Hestia.
"That won't do." Hestia took Jason's hand and sat down beside him. Then she said to Jason seriously, "How can you not rest at night? Besides, you are still young and growing.
I heard that you haven't had a rest for three whole years!
And you just helped me get rid of the Chimera monster, so I should give you some reward."
Hestia said, waving her hand slightly and a bonfire appeared nearby.
Seeing this, Jason's eyelids twitched, and he felt that this scene looked somewhat familiar...
"Come, Jason."
Hestia sat down and gave Jason a very bright smile.
Jason was silent for a moment, then tilted his head slightly to look at Brother Ma.
The Pegasus who was eating the melon saw Jason looking at him and was so scared that he quickly turned around, lowered his head to eat grass, and looked at him as if to say, "Don't look at me, I didn't see anything."
So Jason gave up struggling with a silent sigh in his heart, lay down on his side, and put his head stiffly on Hestia's legs.
Naturally, he didn't dare say anything more, because he knew that if he rejected Hestia tonight, it would really make the goddess angry.
Forget it, it’s just a knee pillow, and it’s not the first time for us to have intimate contact.
Jason comforted and convinced himself in this way.
When Jason lay down, Hestia happily combed his hair, touched his head, and then sang a song softly.
There was a gentle breeze at night, and the flames of the bonfire swayed slightly, illuminating the blond hero who was lying on the lap of the goddess Hestia, and gradually closed his eyes under the beautiful song.
The holy Pegasus later came over, stretched out his wings, squatted down and closed his eyes.
Jason fell asleep again.
The next day,
When Jason woke up, Hestia had also left.
The bright light shines on Jason, who is wearing the sword of Apollo, the god of light.
Jason stood up, looked around, and finally put his hands on the still sleeping Pegasus. He patted its head and said unhappily, "Alright, you're still sleeping... Let's go, we should hurry."
Tianma woke up, and Qingming hit Jason with his head in dissatisfaction.
Then Jason ate the nectar fruit that had been prepared on the side, washed up briefly by the stream, and then rode on Pegasus again and embarked on his journey.
Ancient Greece, especially the Greece where gods existed, was a very dangerous world.
Therefore, sometimes even if there is no god deliberately interfering, Jason will encounter some unexpected dangers.
Jason separated from the goddess Hestia and rode Pegasus again towards Calydon.
It didn't take long before I heard someone calling me from below.
Jason didn't take it seriously at first, but then several rocks suddenly flew up from the ground and hit them. If Pegasus hadn't reacted quickly, they would have been hit.
After dodging, Tianma let out two dissatisfied noises, then looked at Jason.
Jason hesitated for a while. He naturally didn't want to cause trouble and wanted to leave immediately.
But seeing the anger displayed by Pegasus, Jason could only sigh helplessly and nodded slightly.
So the Pegasus turned around and flew towards the ground.
Finally, it stopped in front of a giant who was more than three meters tall.
"Hero, we finally caught up with you!"
Just as Jason was looking at this shirtless, savagely dressed barbarian with a long beard and unkempt appearance.
Two slightly embarrassed Lycian warriors wearing silver armor came forward excitedly.
They were obviously pursuers sent by the King of Lycia.
Unlike them who were excited, Jason looked at the two warriors and naturally felt speechless and troubled.
"Are you the great hero they say fell from the stars, brought the oracle of the goddess Hestia, and slew the Chimera?"
The savage man looked down at Jason and saw that he was so short and weak, and his arm was not even as big as his thumb.
He snorted with disdain, "You're such a hero who killed Chimera, but you look nothing special. I don't think you can even take a single punch from me!"
The big man's words made the two warriors extremely angry, but because they were afraid of the big man's strength, they dared not speak out.
"Your Excellency is...?"
"Listen up, little man!" The rude man raised his head proudly and said to Jason, "I am Antaeus, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea!
Since you have come here, little guy, you must abide by the rules I set before you can leave.
Either defeat me or..."
As Antaeus spoke, he pointed to the temple nearby, which was being built with the skulls of the dead.
On this road, Antaeus forced all who passed by to fight with him, and then killed them all with his infinite power.
His purpose in doing this was to collect the skulls of the dead so that he could build a temple to his father, Poseidon.
For most Greek warriors, battle = offering to the gods = ravage.
Now, Antaeus set his next target on Jason.
Because he had heard from the two Lycian warriors about Jason's feat of killing Chimera.
Antaeus naturally wanted to kill him to show how powerful he was!
However, just after Antaeus revealed his identity, the originally angry Tianma was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Antaeus in confusion.
"You said...you are the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea?"
Jason was also stunned.
"That's right!" Antaeus said proudly. Obviously, such an identity made him feel very proud.
Hearing this, Jason naturally looked at Pegasus, and Pegasus looked at Antaeus carefully, even circling around it and sniffing it, before reluctantly nodding to Jason.
