"...I really don't give it to me?"

Jason looked at Atalanta, and Atalanta looked at Jason without hesitation. The eyes of both of them were very beautiful, like emerald gems.

Then Atalante replied directly: "I said, I have to give me a reward that satisfies me, otherwise...impossible!"

Hearing this, Jason naturally felt helpless, but when he went to catch prey early in the morning, Jason didn't want to go either.

I usually eat wild fruits, but now Jason doesn't want to eat it when he smells the meat.

So after turning his eyes and looking at the sunlight falling on the ground, Jason suddenly knew what kind of reward he should give to Atalanta.

"Okay, then I'll play the piano for you. If you think you can take this as a reward, just give it to me as a reward."

After speaking, despite Atalanta's refusal.

When Jason came to sit on the stone beside him, he took out his lyre and began to play it gently.

Obviously very confident, Atalanta will definitely give her the reward.

However, Jason does have such capital to be confident. Lyre also has the guidance of the centaur sage Chiron and the sea queen Amphitrite, as well as the approval of the siren muses.

How many people in the world will not surrender to the sound of Jason's piano.

So, along with the sound of the beautiful piano, Atalanta, who frowned originally and looked at Jason, was quickly stunned.

She really didn't expect that Jason still has such talent... No, the two simple talents are completely unable to describe the sound of the piano played by Jason.

Not long after Atalanta watched Jason playing in front of her, she realized that a large number of small animals had gathered around at an unknown time.

They all listened to the wonderful music, showing the appearance of enjoying.

Even Pegasus came to crouch beside Jason.

And what should I say... Atalanta looked back at Jason, who was wearing white clothes, slender fingers gently plucking the strings, and under the bright sunshine, his blond hair swayed slightly in the wind.

In addition to being surprised, this scene was also deeply engraved in Atalanta's mind...

The song ended, and before Jason could speak, Atalanta reached out and threw the roasted hare to Jason.

Jason was not polite after catching it, and after getting it, Meimei enjoyed it.

Looking at Jason who was eating delicious barbecue, Atalanta could only take out dry food and eat it.

Seeing that she was pitiful, Jason took out a few wild fruits for her, but she glared at him.

So Jason didn't even give her the wild fruit in the end.

This made Atalanta's action of eating the dry food a bit fierce.

At the same time, it also made Tianma look at Jason's eyes a little speechless, and at the same time a little strange.

Because Tianma had known Jason for so long, he found that everyone he came into contact with was trying to please, and he was quite sentimental and tactful.

Why all of a sudden today, so...

In fact, the reason is very simple, do not look at who those people are.

Either a **** or a monster.

There is also his own senior brother, and Medea, who is also a part-time senior sister.

It's strange that Jason doesn't have a way to coax them.

So facing Atalante... not to mention that Atalanta still followed him, Jason didn't want to bring this oil bottle at all.

It's no wonder that he will go blindly to accommodate Atalanta!

As for brushing favorability...Iasomb wished that Atalanta's favorability toward him was a negative number!

After all beautiful women are in Greece, that's trouble!

Jason is afraid to avoid these things.

So when Jason had breakfast and Atalanta filled his stomach, the two continued on their journey.

Jason sat in the front, Atalanta in the back.

The holy Pegasus took two people and soared under the blue sky... It's a pity that no one can see this scene except for the gods who are observing secretly.

Because since the beginning, the giant of Antaeus, a boulder almost hit Pegasus and Jason.

Jason has been using invisible magic ever since...

In this regard, when Atalanta knew about it, she didn't know what to say for a while... All she could say was that she thought she should do whatever she wanted after the last Kalydon incident. Some knowledge of Jason.

But in fact, in just one day, she refreshed her understanding of Jason over and over again.

So thinking about these things, Atalanta sat sideways on the Pegasus, rolled up the pale yellow hair on her earlobe, and looked at Jason's back.

I couldn't help but be more curious about him.

How many secrets and stories are there on you? ...... The world does not know, the hero that the gods miss.

Just when Atalanta was thinking about this.

"Atalanta...Atalanta, Atalanta!"

"Hmm, um." Atalanta came back to her senses, pressed down the blown hair, calmed herself down, and said, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's alright, but I think I need to make it clear to you... This time, what I want to do is actually to offer tribute to Lord Hermes according to the oracle of Athena, the goddess of wisdom."

Hermes knew Jason, Atalanta knew, after all, they had met, but...

Athena's oracle?

And hearing this, Atalanta naturally thought of that night, when she saw Hermes, she heard his conversation with Jason.

"Wait, if I remember correctly, your tribute to Lord Hermes is related to a man named Io, right?

And I remember that the oracle that Hermes gave you at that time was about offering tribute to Lord Hephaestus, the **** of craftsmen..."

As she spoke, Atalanta naturally thought of the fact that Jason presented a tribute to the moon **** Artemis that day, and then got a gift from Artemis.

Atalanta didn't think much about it at the time, but now the clues are linked together...

"Ah, do you still remember... Well, I have already offered the tribute of Teacher Hephaestus, in fact, I have also offered tribute to Lord Ares and Lord Apollo, and now it is Hermes. adult."

Hearing Jason's words, even Atalanta couldn't help but ask: "Hephaestus... teacher?

And have you received a gift from every great god? "

After all, Atalanta was present at the time, and the only one who knew that the silver arrow that killed Calydon was not the moon **** Artemis, but Jason.

And that silver arrow was the gift that Artemis gave in return for the tribute!

"Well, that counts. After all, the gods don't often give us gifts, right?"

Facing Jason's vague answer, Atalanta didn't want to speak for a while.

Gifts are often given... Ordinary people are basically unable to see the gods in their entire lives, let alone run around in the gods like you!

"You're not... ready to offer gifts to the Olympian gods?"

"Well... at the moment, there are only twelve..."

"Twelve?" Atalanta's voice rose slightly, clearly understanding which twelve gods Jason wanted to offer tribute to.

Wait a minute, twelve gods, twelve gifts.

If that gift is on the same level as Goddess Artemis...

And the lyre this morning, why do I think it looks so familiar, I remember it now, isn't that the lyre of Lord Apollo? !

"Cough, in a word, Atalanta, listen carefully. The one guarding Io is a terrifying monster called Argos the hundred-eyed giant... For some reasons, it should be impossible to resolve it peacefully. So when the time comes..."

Jason, who coughed lightly, began to change the subject.

"...Well, I see." Atalanta, who had watched Jason for a while without words, could only suppress his surprise and replied, "I will help at that time. You go and defeat the hundred-eyed giant Argos..."

Atalanta was interrupted by Jason before he could finish speaking.

I only heard Jason, who looked back at her this time, and said to Atalanta in a very serious tone: "No, my consciousness is that I will give you a gesture when the time comes, and then you will run directly with Io, The hundred-eyed giant Argos, I will solve it!...Don't stare at me, it's not that I don't believe in your ability.

But at that time, it will be very dangerous... Don't forget, you promised me that you would listen to my arrangements along the way, otherwise you will not follow me! "

PS: Everyone, Happy Lantern Festival!

But it is obviously the Lantern Festival, and I still need the code word "Happy" (painful and tired), I am so happy! ululation......

Chapter 118 Meet the goddess Hestia again! (3k)

Io is a princess.

Their king was Inaccus, and Zeus met Io by chance one day and was immediately attracted to her beauty.

He turned into a handsome man and came to Io.

"Oh, young girl, how happy is it to have you! But no mortal in the world is worthy of you, you are only fit to be the wife of the king of the gods, tell you, I am Zeus, don't be afraid !

The heat is unstoppable at noon, come with me to rest under the shade of the tree on the left, why are you torturing yourself under the scorching sun at noon? "

Facing Zeus' pursuit, Io was terrified.

So she started to run away.

But how could a mortal escape the god-king Zeus, in order to get Io, Zeus brought thunder and lightning, turning the sunny day into a dark world shrouded in dark clouds.

And then when Zeus was about to take advantage of the darkness to do what he liked.

Hera, the diva who had been following him, suddenly appeared from the cloud and was about to question Zeus, who had just caught Io.

And Zeus was naturally startled when he saw Hera coming. In order to get himself out of trouble, he became wise and turned Io into a snow-white heifer.

But Zeus' actions did not escape Hera's eyes.

Hera immediately saw through her husband's tricks, and after coming to the panicked Zeus, she pretended to praise the beautiful animal and asked whose heifer it was and what breed it was.

In embarrassment, Zeus had to lie and say that the cow was just a creature on the ground, a purebred.

Pretending to be satisfied with his answer, Hera asked Zeus to give her this beautiful animal as a gift, which made Zeus have no choice but to give Io to Hera.

After Hera took Io away, she was not at ease, so she finally asked the hundred-eyed giant Argos to help guard Io.

Because Argos, the one-hundred-eyed giant, is especially suitable for the mission of guarding, he has one hundred eyes, only one pair of eyes is closed when he sleeps, and the rest are open, shining like stars, bright and divine.

And under the guard of the hundred-eyed giant Argos, the poor princess Io, who turned into a heifer and could only moo, could only cry and eat the grass.

Then there was the matter of Zeus asking Hermes to rescue Io, and Hermes found Jason and handed the task to Jason.

And during this time, because Argos was not always in a fixed pasture, because Hera ordered him to constantly change Io's residence, it was difficult for Zeus to find her.

In this way, Argos took Io around on the Greek land.

Until this day, Io was brought back to his hometown.

......

......

A few days passed.

Holding a guide given by Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Jason, riding a Pegasus, took Atalanta for a few days' journey.

On this day, I came to the periphery of the kingdom.

Because the guide of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, can only give directions, Jason and the others do not know the specific distance between the target and them.

But it's nothing.

because......

"Chirp—!"

The Pegasus, which was flying in the blue sky, suddenly stopped.

Then he turned his head to look at Jason, and called out twice again.

Jason was slightly stunned when he heard this. After understanding what Tianma meant, a helpless expression appeared on his face, and he nodded to Tianma.

So Tianma turned around, flapping his wings, and flew towards somewhere in the forest.

"Did something happen?"

Because of the fall, Atalanta who was sitting in the back couldn't help reaching out and grabbed the corner of Jason's clothes.
