Sea Queen Amphitrite felt surprised by this, which was not strange.
Because that was one eye of the great god, the prophetic and foreknowing Prometheus.
That was a pair of eyes in no way inferior to those of the wisdom goddess Athena.
Even if only one eye, Jason possessed from it the terrifying ability to foresee the future and easily see through the fates of people, or even gods!
This was also why even a noble sea queen like Amphitrite was still "seen through" by Jason.
But although the words were said this way, this eye was merely passively observed, because Jason had no control over it.
And this eye, for the majority of the time, needed to guard that most special fate on Jason... the god-slaying fate.
"Yes."
Jason now knew the identity of the person before him and naturally did not dare to be neglectful; at the same time, he also understood why Pegasus had been so panicked in coming before her.
"Goddess Amphitrite, I think it must be that Lord Prometheus's eye sensed the doubt in my heart and thus gave me an answer.
And this eye was placed on me by Teacher Hecate; I cannot control it; in my heart, there is absolutely no intention of offending you, Goddess Amphitrite."
"Hecate?" Amphitrite curiously sized up Jason, "That child Hecate actually took a student, and Pegasus is with you too... child, would you be willing to tell me about your story?"
Jason looked at this god before him, whom he fundamentally did not know, with slight surprise, then slowly spoke some of his own matters in a flat tone.
Jason, up to now, although he had already caused quite a stir in the Greek divine era, in reality, the ones who truly understood him comparatively well were that batch on Mount Olympus and that batch in the underworld.
Many of the gods in the ocean did not know Jason.
As for the Greek mainland... if Jason had not used the name Heracles to substitute, then he should now be considered somewhat famous.
And from Jason's appearance until now, it had only been a little over three years; three years' time, for immortal gods, was merely a snap of the fingers.
And Amphitrite had not gone home for a long time; recently, she had always been playing on several nearby small islands with her sisters, so not knowing was not strange.
Then, although Jason's words were flat, and he was only speaking of small matters, the more she listened, the stranger Amphitrite's expression became.
After all, even if what Jason said was flat, those familiar names popping out one after another made it hard for Amphitrite to pretend not to hear...
One cannot lie to gods, and Jason was also quite helpless about this point.
"That is enough, child; you do not need to continue... according to what you said, you are preparing to go to Colchis to find your senior sister and seek a lyre, right?"
Jason nodded to Amphitrite and said, "Yes, Goddess Amphitrite."
"No need to go to such trouble." Amphitrite smiled and said, "I happen to be preparing to go back; come with me, and I will lend you my lyre."
Hearing this, Jason's expression could not help but stiffen slightly.
"Goddess Amphitrite, how could I trouble you like this; my senior sister is not far away; really, there is no need to trouble you!"
"It is fine; it is just a small thing." Amphitrite said gently, and reached out to grasp Jason's hand, bringing him to sit on Pegasus.
Jason inwardly cried out in bitterness; he sensed that Amphitrite had clearly developed an interest in him.
And Jason, with much experience, understood very well in his heart that if he did not satisfy these gods' desires, then they would absolutely not let him go.
Therefore, in the end, Jason could only helplessly give up struggling.
One of Jason's survival rules: if he encountered a god he could not avoid, or an event he could not avoid, then he must absolutely not keep resisting the god!
Because according to experience, not only was there a high chance his resistance would anger the other, it was even more likely to make the other increasingly excited!
And in fact, it was indeed so; Amphitrite looked at Jason on Pegasus, who tried his best to lean forward, not daring to have his skin touch hers, and her eyes held a smile.
She leaned slightly forward a bit, teasing this cute big boy, while at the same time, Pegasus also spread its wings and flew into the sea.
When Pegasus leaped into the sea, Jason, who in this life and the previous had no experience of going into water, naturally subconsciously closed his eyes.
His expression appeared slightly afraid.
And seeing Jason's such cute reaction, Amphitrite laughed happily from behind, while taking out a bright deep blue pearl from her bosom.
She placed it in Jason's hand and gently held Jason's hand, then Amphitrite softly said, "Open your eyes, child... rest assured, nothing will happen."
Under Amphitrite's voice, Jason then slowly opened his eyes, and immediately his eyes slowly widened.
Because the mysterious deep sea, at this moment, unveiled that layer of mysterious veil before Jason's eyes.
Deep Sea Heart... this was the name of this pearl.
And Jason, holding this pearl in hand, could freely breathe in the water.
"Is it beautiful, child?"
"Yes, very beautiful..."
Hearing Jason's answer, Amphitrite happily patted his head.
Then soon, Pegasus brought the two to a magnificent temple.
Immediately, sea nymphs walked out, respectfully receiving Amphitrite, while curiously sizing up Jason.
Then Amphitrite brought Jason into the temple and came to a hall full of magnificent decorations, from which she rummaged out a sea-blue lyre.
Amphitrite held the lyre, gently plucked its strings, nodded in satisfaction, then swiftly brought Jason and left the temple.
The two returned to the small island; Amphitrite handed the lyre to Jason, letting him play it for her on the spot.
Although Jason somewhat did not understand Amphitrite's intention, he still took it and played with all his effort.
Chiron's careful instruction, plus Jason's three years of tireless study, even to the point where Hecate was annoyed by it and posted a label in the temple forbidding Jason from visiting the qin, Jason naturally still learned some essence.
After one piece, it even attracted quite a few sea nymphs who came to this place to listen to the qin music.
"Not bad, but... if you plan to offer this to the god of light and also the god of music Apollo, it is still not enough."
Amphitrite said, reaching out to take back this deep sea-colored lyre, gracefully playing it before Jason.
Hearing the music Amphitrite played, Jason surprisedly discovered that it was actually in no way inferior to the music he heard back then from the god of light Apollo!
"How is it?"
After simply playing for a while, Amphitrite smiled at Jason.
"Very good!" Jason said seriously.
Of course, he naturally would not be so stupid as to compare her to Apollo.
"Do you want to learn? I can teach you... and I guarantee that in about a week, you can learn it."
"...Eh?"
Jason was stunned for a while.
"And I will not only teach you to play the qin; I also know a method to make Apollo happy."
Amphitrite said, turning her head to point her hand toward the distance, saying, "On an island not far in that direction lives a giant named Geryon.
He owns a herd of red-coated cattle and has entrusted it to the centaur Eurytion and the two-headed dog Orthrus to guard for him.
If you can offer that herd of cattle to Apollo, he will surely be quite happy.
And I can help you obtain those divine cattle and bring them before Apollo."
Jason then fell silent, looking at Amphitrite.
Amphitrite turned back to look at Jason, smiled, and said, "What, do you find it strange? Clearly it is the first meeting, yet I am helping you so much... do you know why I stopped you and Pegasus just now?"
"Because recently, I accidentally heard a rumor from my sisters."
Amphitrite said, then once again played the deep blue lyre in her hand; her lips moved slightly, like a bard, and she chanted, "The rumor speaks of a hero whose name is Heracles.
He wears a pure white garment personally woven for him by a goddess, riding a holy Pegasus.
He has golden hair, emerald eyes, an appearance as handsome as the god of light Apollo.
One day, he followed a divine oracle and from the starry sky of the moonlit night, rode the holy Pegasus to this land of Lycia.
He came before the terrible monster Chimera, which had a lion's head, a goat's body, and a tail composed of a python.
With magical power, he defeated the Chimera that turned the earth to desolation.
Then he came to a small island, where there existed a barbarian Antaeus who could not be defeated in battle.
It is said he is the child of the earth goddess Gaia and the sea god Poseidon, thus as long as he stood on the ground, he would never fail.
And this great and wise hero, he lifted this barbarian high, severed his hands and his feet, and threw him into the sea.
Then he once again set out on his journey..."
After the chant, Amphitrite tucked a strand of pale blue hair behind her ear, smiled at Jason, blinked at him, and said laughing, "Now, child, do you understand why I would help you?"
"And from just now, I actually have had a question I always wanted to ask you.
Since you are Hecate's child, then this name Heracles is...?"
