This trip was very smooth.
The beautiful goddess Aphrodite directly agreed to Jason's request, without even asking for any reward... If not counting that final inquiry about the tribute.
Although Jason had already offered tributes to more than half of the Olympian gods, there were still nearly half of the gods waiting for his tributes.
Thinking of this, Jason could not help but feel his head ache a bit more.
However, although tributes caused headaches, the returns were generous.
So after agreeing on a ti with the beautiful goddess Aphrodite, Jason left Hephaestus's temple.
The ti for Persephone to return to the Underworld was approaching bit by bit; Jason could not idle anymore and needed to take action on this.
However, when Jason left, he found that the beautiful goddess Aphrodite had no intention of leaving Hephaestus's temple temporarily... This could not help but arouse a trace of curiosity in Jason.
Although probing into goddess matters was courting death.
But after all, this was his teacher's and teacher's wife's matter; Jason really wanted to know what would happen next...
In short, after leaving Hephaestus's temple, Jason did not head directly to the Underworld.
Instead, he called the na of a deity, stayed in the mortal world for several days, and then at noon one day, successfully t him.
"This is really rare."
The god wearing a short-sleeved tunic and a feathered cap, the ssenger of the gods, ca to Jason, who was sitting and making beggar's chicken.
"Jason, you actually have a ti when you proactively seek out... Hmm, slls good. I have long heard that your cooking skills are good, Jason; it seems like today I am in for a treat."
Looking at Jason in front of him, who had finished preparing the chicken and was sprinkling the sauce, Hers, who had co because of Jason's prayer, said with his eyes lighting up slightly.
"Then, Lord Hers, please wait a mont... But actually, it is almost done."
Saying this, Jason took out the lotus leaves he had prepared earlier, wrapped them layer by layer, and then, under Hers's curious gaze, wrapped them again with yellow clay.
Finally, he placed it into the nearby firewood pile to bake.
"Interesting."
Hers watched Jason finish and could not help but say with a smile: "This is the first ti I have seen such a special thod... What is it called?"
"This is called beggar's chicken. As for its taste... I think it will not disappoint you, Lord Hers!"
At this mont, Jason appeared extrely confident.
This could not help but make Hers look at Jason with so surprise.
One must know that this could be considered a tribute to a god, and for Jason to speak so absolutely according to his character showed that he was really very confident about this.
Well, after all, this was the confidence from a foodie of the great Celestial Empire!
"Is that so? Even you say that; it really makes one look forward to it." Hers said this and licked his lips, clearly having his curiosity piqued.
"Then, Jason, did you call for sothing?... If I rember correctly, this is the first ti you have proactively sought out, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jason's face could not help but appear sowhat embarrassed.
This was indeed the first ti Jason had proactively sought Hers, but this was not Jason's fault; who let Jason discover that whenever he t Hers, nothing good happened... But now, he did have sothing to ask Hers.
"Actually, it is like this, Lord Hers. I want to ask you to help announce that two months from now, Hades, the king of the Underworld, will formally marry Sister Persephone."
While saying this, the two ca to sit under the shade of a tree nearby.
The Pegasus then took Jason's place, guarding the baking beggar's chicken.
"Announce it?" After sitting down, Hers looked at Jason. "Which side, the gods' side or..."
"The human side... But it is best to wait two more days for ; I still have sothing unfinished." After Jason said this hesitantly, a trace of unusual color flashed in Hers's eyes.
"You still have sothing unfinished... What matter?" Recalling the tributes Jason had offered to the gods along the way, Hers asked curiously.
"Um... To be honest with you, Lord Hers, actually at first I only planned to have you announce it to the human side, but now... I think after consulting with Hades, I might send you all wedding invitations."
"Wedding invitations?" Hers looked at Jason doubtfully.
"Yes." Jason nodded. "Inviting you to the Underworld as guests on the wedding day..."
As soon as these words ca out, Hers could not help but be stunned.
"Jason, do you know what you are saying?" Then Hers's expression beca serious.
"Do you really think that as long as Hades, the king of the Underworld, agrees, the gods can enter and exit the Underworld?!"
"No, Lord Hers, I know that for the gods to enter and exit the Underworld, it requires not only the agreent of Hades, the king of the Underworld, but also the agreent of the Underworld gods and the primordial deities of the Underworld, like Erebus."
"Oh, you actually know?" Hers was stunned and swallowed the words he was about to say.
"Yes... I think it should be possible, if it is just for one day." Jason said softly: "Because everyone is actually quite easy to talk to."
"...Quite easy to talk to?" Hers looked at Jason with a strange expression, then as if thinking of sothing, he looked at Jason and said: "Could it be that you have already t the god of darkness Erebus?
And also obtained permission from him and the gods?"
Jason nodded and said under Hers's surprised gaze: "But only one; I invited Teacher's wife Aphrodite..."
"Teacher's wife?" Hers caught the key point.
"Slip of the tongue; it is Goddess Aphrodite..."
"Teacher's wife?" Hers stared straight at Jason.
"Um... It was Teacher's wife Aphrodite who told to call her that."
Upon hearing this, Hers blinked his eyes, and his gaze instantly turned toward the direction opposite to Hephaestus's temple.
In his eyes, a gossipy light appeared!
"Wait, wait, almost let you divert... Why did you invite Aphrodite to the Underworld?"
Then he withdrew his gaze and asked Jason.
Jason then explained the reason.
"I see... However, Jason, inviting one god and the Olympian gods are two different concepts. Are you really prepared to try?"
Hers looked at Jason seriously.
Jason also knew what Hers ant; this action might anger the gods of the Underworld.
But after so hesitation, Jason still nodded to Hers.
"Why?... You should know this is a behavior where the loss outweighs the gain."
"Because Persephone is my sister, and Hades is my brother-in-law."
And Jason's answer was also very simple, but precisely because of this simple answer, Hers looked at Jason and was stunned for a while.
After all, this was not a lie.
"...Wait, little Jason, I suddenly discovered sothing now."
Jason looked at Hers puzzled, only to see Hers rubbing his chin with his hand, looking at Jason and saying: "You offered romance to the moon goddess Artemis, dedicated a thousand-year promise to Hephaestus and beca her student, brought the son of the god of light Apollo back from the Underworld for him, and on the war god Ares's side, you defeated the hundred-headed dragon Ladon.
And now you are preparing to make a big move for Hades...
Hey, Jason, when I add it up, the tribute you offered seems to be the most unremarkable!"
Jason was stunned for a mont, blinked at Hers who was staring straight at him, thought hard for a while, and because he could not lie, said: "Um, is there not the lyre for Goddess Athena..."
"So you an, besides that lyre, you do not plan to offer tributes to Athena anymore?" Hers showed Jason a smile.
Jason fell into silence, and then...
"Ah, Lord Hers, the beggar's chicken seems ready. Please wait a mont; I will serve it to you right away!"
After saying this, Jason flipped over, got up, and slipped away.
And Hers, looking at the direction Jason ran, could not help but slap his thigh hard and said: "Careless!
If I had known this guy's tributes were so interesting, I would not have brushed it off back then... Jason, let's discuss; how about you offer one more tribute? I guarantee I will prepare an equally good gift for you!"
Hearing Hers's words, Jason almost wanted to ride the Pegasus and run away.
Then Jason gritted his teeth; no matter how great the benefits Hers promised, even including directly making Jason a god, Jason just would not budge.
Nonsense, Jason was not stupid; if he agreed to Hers, would Artemis and the others just watch?
Another round?... Oh god, that would be deadly!
Actually, Artemis had long wanted another round; if not for Athena and Hestia, who had not received tributes, blocking Artemis and even not letting Artemis approach Jason.
With Artemis's personality, she could pester Jason every day, asking Jason to give her tributes.
After all, who let Jason's tributes to the gods in these few tis all make their eyes light up each ti.
Then, although Hers was sowhat unhappy because he did not get the tribute, after he tasted the beggar's chicken from Jason, he quickly threw that displeasure behind him.
And regarding the aroma of the beggar's chicken, even the Pegasus, which only ate grass... No, now only ate grass cakes, was attracted over.
"With good food cos, how can there be no wine? Co, Jason, take two sips... Forget it, forget it; you better not co. Last ti Rhea and Athena caught and scolded for half a day. I was puzzled; how did I lead you astray!"
