Chapter 88 - Chapter 88: Sea Queen, Amphitrite

Dawn,

When the light shone on Jason, who was wearing the sword of the god of light Apollo.

This golden-haired, green-eyed youth rode on the holy Pegasus.

After bidding farewell to the great god, the prophetic and foreknowing god Prometheus, and obtaining his precious left eye.

At the same time, after also bidding farewell to his respected teacher, the goddess of the crossroads Hecate.

Jason once again set out on his journey.

His path was still very long.

Not counting those distant tributes to be offered one by one to the gods.

And after completing the "game" with the wisdom goddess Athena, becoming an immortal existence.

At this moment, under Jason's eyes, there were several things waiting for him to complete.

The first thing was naturally to go to the god of light Apollo to obtain the magic flute placed there by the messenger of the gods Hermes.

At the same time, to offer tribute to the god of light Apollo.

The second thing was, after obtaining the magic flute, to rescue the woman Io, who was guarded by the terrible hundred-eyed giant Argus.

To fulfill the agreement with the messenger of the gods Hermes.

The third thing was that his dealings with his teacher, the god of craftsmen Hephaestus, had not yet ended; he must return to Hephaestus's side after completing these pressing matters.

To follow her and learn the forging techniques of the divine generation.

Thus, Jason's goal was actually very clear, but now, he was still lost in direction.

That afternoon.

Jason held the directional guide bestowed by Athena in his hand; although the position of the god of light Apollo was clear, he still did not choose to set out.

"Strange..."

Jason's brows lightly furrowed; sitting on the holy Pegasus, he looked around and said puzzledly, "Why has Goddess Athena not yet brought the divine oracle."

Since the matter was already determined, Jason would not choose to flee or avoid meeting the god of light Apollo.

The reason Jason was hesitating at this moment, not immediately heading there, was because the wisdom goddess Athena, up to now, still had not sent the divine oracle.

Just like the divine oracles for the moon goddess Artemis and the god of craftsmen Hephaestus.

"There must be something delaying her... then what should I do now?" Jason murmured, beginning to think.

Before receiving Athena's divine oracle, Jason would not rashly go before Apollo, because this was the "game" he was currently playing with Athena.

But sitting idly by when encountering matters was not Jason's character.

Therefore, after a brief contemplation...

"Perhaps I should go find a lyre for myself." Jason touched the sword of the god of light Apollo at his waist and said thus.

Before offering the tribute, Jason actually had an agreement with the god of light Apollo.

Apollo said he hoped that the next time they met, he could hear music personally played by Jason for him.

For this, during those three years of tireless study, Jason never stopped practicing music.

And when leaving, the centaur sage Chiron, who knew of his agreement with Apollo, even gave Jason a precious lyre.

But later it was taken by Athena, thereby opening the prelude to offering tributes to the Olympian gods.

And to find a lyre that could be presented before the god of light Apollo, Jason naturally had many choices.

For example, going back to find Teacher Chiron or Teacher Hephaestus, or even going to find Sister Persephone, the harvest goddess Demeter, and them.

But after considering one by one, Jason gave them up.

Because thinking carefully, at this current time period, going to see any of them was a bit inappropriate; not to mention that Demeter, Persephone, and they were all looking forward to receiving Jason's tribute the next time they met.

Just take Teacher Chiron; after all, having troubled him so much, going back without preparing a gift, Jason himself felt a bit embarrassed...

Then, after excluding those choices, Jason turned his gaze to the younger generation.

After excluding numerous senior brothers and sisters again, Jason thought of two people: Atalanta and Medea...

"Speaking of which, I still have not returned Atalanta's bow to her, but can she find me a lyre?... Even if she has one, it is probably the moon goddess Artemis's."

After thinking, and helplessly excluding Atalanta, now the only choice left before Jason was Medea.

In fact, thinking slightly, one could understand that the probability of obtaining a lyre from Medea that even the gods could look upon favorably was obviously greater.

It was just that at the thought of meeting her... Jason felt his head a bit big.

"Forget it, I should still go see that little sister of mine."

Finally, Jason sighed, with a face full of worry, saying, "After all, I remember that when that little demon sister of mine parted from me, she even threatened me, saying that if I do not go find her for a long time, she will run to Teacher Hecate to complain...

Complaining is not scary; what is scary is if my stinky teacher, at that time finding it troublesome, directly throws her to me; that would truly be the end."

After making the decision, even though at the thought of seeing Medea that little demon sister, Jason was still a bit reluctant.

But he still held Athena's divine artifact and pointed the direction to Pegasus.

Thus, Pegasus carried Jason toward the direction of the Kingdom of Colchis, where Medea was.

At this moment, with the silver reins obtained from Hephaestus, and the silver horseshoes added, even the distant Kingdom of Colchis.

Pegasus would need at most three days and three nights to fully arrive.

Without rest, under the temptation of green grass cakes, even two days and one night would be fully sufficient.

But... just as Jason said very early, or not long ago.

His journeys basically never went smoothly!

Therefore, when the light receded, the night goddess Nyx descended, sprinkling the night curtain across the sky.

Stars appeared, the remnant moon's glow illuminating the earth, the ocean, as well as the holy Pegasus flying over the ocean, and the white-clothed Jason on it.

The holy Pegasus carrying Jason on the road once again "betrayed" Jason, responding to the summons of a certain ancient god.

Under Jason's expression of helplessness mixed with a bit of habitual numbness.

It brought Jason to a beautiful small island.

Before a graceful and magnificent goddess.

That goddess was not the goddess Hestia who often coerced Pegasus, but a sea nymph.

In the azure sea surface, flowing lights turned; the noble woman's pale blue long hair drifted, her exquisite face white as jade.

With light and slow steps entering the shallows, she came before the Pegasus that seemed to have come from the stars in the sky, bringing the white-clothed youth to this place.

Reaching out, stroking the obedient Pegasus stopping before her.

And those pair of azure beautiful eyes naturally curiously sized up Jason sitting on Pegasus.

While the elegant woman sized up Jason, Jason, who hurriedly dismounted from Pegasus, naturally also reflected this beautiful woman's figure in his eyes.

Only to see that slender and magnificent blue long robe, unable to conceal her full exquisite curves; under the moonlight's illumination and the azure sea's light reflection, making her appear so beautiful, captivating the mind.

Merely looking twice, Jason hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of this extraordinarily charming sea nymph anymore.

Because although he did not know who the other was, Jason understood that she certainly had an extremely terrifying identity!

One must know that Pegasus's relationship with Jason was very good now; even if coerced by a goddess, it would first quietly give Jason a hint, letting Jason prepare.

But just now, it did nothing, instead coming before this sea nymph at the fastest speed.

"Child, raise your head."

In the graceful voice, carrying a trace of divine power, Jason could not resist and lifted his own head.

Meeting the eyes of this extraordinarily charming sea nymph again, and gradually appearing somewhat lost in them.

That left eye of the prophetic and foreknowing Prometheus, taken by Hecate and placed in Jason's fate, began to exert its effect.

"Her name is Amphitrite; she is the daughter of the ocean god Oceanus and the sea goddess Tethys; she is the queen of the seas; the divine authority she holds in the ocean is even in no way inferior to sea emperor Poseidon!"

Because it sensed Jason's doubt, Prometheus's left eye thus gave him an answer.

While telling Jason information related to the sea queen before him, the left eye even transmitted to Jason some scenes of Amphitrite wielding her authority, making the entire sea respond.

But at this moment, Amphitrite's brows lightly furrowed.

"Child, has no one told you that peering into a great god is extremely impolite behavior?"

In the gentle words, carrying threads of annoyance.

If not for the child before her being so cute, and also having a good relationship with the Pegasus beside her, Amphitrite would not be annoyed at all, but would immediately wield her own majestic divine power, making the other regret coming to this world.

At the same time, Amphitrite's heart was also somewhat puzzled; although she sensed mixed divine auras on Jason's body, Jason was not a god.

How could he peer into her fate?

"Sorry, great Goddess Amphitrite; it was not intentional on my part!"

Jason's heart startled; he hurriedly bowed in apology and explained, "This is a misunderstanding; I absolutely had no intention of offending you!

The one peering at you is the left eye bestowed upon me by Lord Prometheus; I think it sensed my doubt, thus offending you to give me an answer!"

"Prometheus... the prophetic and foreknowing god Prometheus?"

Amphitrite was stunned; her azure eyes slightly surprised as she looked at Jason and said, "On your body, you actually have his left eye?!"
