Jason and Tianma also came to a cliff, when they continued to walk forward......

"Stop your steps, passing humans!"

A slightly harsh female voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Jason and Tianma, they subconsciously stopped and looked towards the sound, one by one.

Then he saw a monster slowly walking out from the shadows, coming under the moonlight, and in front of Jason and Tianma.

It was a female evil, whose name was the Sphinx.

It has the face of a human, a pair of huge wings, and the body of a lion.

The same creature is very similar - the Egyptian Sphinx!

Seeing this monster, Jason was just taken aback.

But as another figure followed the Sphinx out of the shadows, Jason fully understood what was going on now.

Knowing which god stopped me.

It's the moon god Artemis.

At the same time, Jason's face showed embarrassment.

Because the person who followed the Sphinx in front of Jason was not Artemis, but he was still an acquaintance of Jason, and Jason still owed her something...

That's right, it has something to do with Artemis, and Jason still owes him something to deal with. Besides Artemis' most loyal follower, Atalanta, who else could it be?

"...Long time no see, Jason."

Showering in the moonlight, Atalanta, a hunter in beautiful emerald green clothes, looked at Jason and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Those beautiful emerald-colored eyes exuded a dangerous aura at this moment, as if...locking on the prey!

"Well, long time no see Atalanta."

Jason showed a slightly embarrassed yet polite smile, and said, "What a coincidence, I was just going to find you, ouch..."

As soon as he spoke, Jason's head was lightly tapped by the silver branch floating beside him, apparently to stop Jason from telling lies.

Seeing this, Atalanta was slightly taken aback, then probably understood something, and looked at Jason even more unkindly.

Just when the atmosphere between the two was a bit tense and Tenma was watching the show with his head down, the sphinx, who didn't know how to watch the timing, jumped out.

It looked at Jason and Atalanta, and asked doubtfully, "Do you know each other?"

"......Humph."

Atalanta crossed her hands in front of her body, hummed softly and turned her head away, her light yellow hair swaying slightly with the night breeze.

As for Atalanta's indifferent attitude again, Jason, who was obviously wrong this time, could only touch his nose and admit it!

Who let Jason run away with someone else's bow, and he had no intention of returning it at all, Jason felt that he would be angry if he changed it!

"Forget it, do you know what it has to do with me?"

After watching the two for a while, Sphinx shook his head, and then said: "But since you know each other, it's just right.

Human beings you hear, my name is Sphinx, you want to pass by me, you need to answer my riddle.

If the answer is correct, I will let you go.

And if you answer wrong, you will be eaten by me! "

"He has nothing to do with me, I answer mine, he answers his!" Atalanta said to the Sphinx lightly: "You can ask now..."

"and many more!"

Jason interrupted Atalanta's words, stepped forward and grabbed Atalanta's hand, ignoring her struggle, and said to her: "Apologize, I promise to apologize...Be obedient, now is not the time to be angry !"

Atalanta glared at Jason who said so to herself, with an angry look as if she was about to open her mouth to bite...but it was just a look.

Atalanta's struggle was actually not as strong as Jason imagined, which made Jason feel a little surprised.

But it was obviously a good thing right now, so Jason didn't think too much about it.

Immediately, he turned his eyes, and Jason, who grabbed Atalanta, turned and said to the Sphinx: "Master Sphinx, may I take the liberty to ask you a question?  … How long do we have to think about your riddles before we answer them?

For example, if you tell us now, let's discuss it and give you an answer tomorrow morning, is it okay? "

"can."

Probably because of Jason's good attitude, the Sphinx of the Sphinx nodded and said, "I can give you this kind of time.

But you are not allowed to escape, because if I find out that you have escaped, I swear in the name of the gods that I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!

Now, listen to my riddle:

Excuse me, what animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?And when he has the most legs, it is also when he walks the slowest and has the weakest physical strength!

.....Remember clearly, now you only have one night, if you can't answer by tomorrow morning, I will eat you! "

The sphinx with the sphinx spoke confidently, obviously confident in his riddle, thinking that Jason and Atalanta would definitely not be able to guess it.

And smelling the riddle it gave, Atalanta frowned, obviously not thinking of the answer.

Then Atalanta looked at Jason very naturally, and found that Jason was looking at the Sphinx with a slightly weird look at the moment.

Atalanta was slightly taken aback.

This guy....... already knows the answer?

When Atalanta was thinking about it, Jason nodded slightly to the Sphinx and said, "I understand, Mr. Sphinx, we will definitely come back before sunrise tomorrow. Solve your riddle."

After speaking, Jason took Atalanta and left here.

Tianma followed quietly.

Along the way, the two came to a quiet place in the forest, and Jason let go of Atalanta.

Before Atalanta could say anything, Jason immediately put his palms together, and said to Atalanta with an extremely sincere attitude: "I'm sorry, Atalanta is really sorry!

And this is your bow of the sky, I hope you can forgive me! "

Atalanta looked at Jason with some surprise, obviously did not expect him to admit his mistake so decisively.

Because Atalanta has actually seen a lot, many heroes who obviously did something wrong, but because of face, they would not admit it to death.

Although Jason has always said that he is not a hero and will not become a hero, Atalanta has also heard Jason say these words.

But in Atalanta's heart, even if she won't admit it, she still regards Jason as a hero... and he is the hero that best fits her imagination.

"At that time, I really needed your bow, so I took it, because at that time, except for Atalanta's bow, I really had no way to shoot the great goddess Artemis, the moon god, who bestowed on me. one's gift.

And the things on my side... Atalanta, you also know something.

So really sorry! "

Acknowledge your mistakes positively and be sincere!

Atalanta silently looked at Jason who was apologizing to herself for a while, and reached out to pick up the Sky Bow.

After Atalanta took the Sky Bow, Jason raised his head and looked at Atalanta who was caressing the Sky Bow in front of him, not looking at himself.

After hesitating for a while, he asked cautiously, "So... Atalanta, did you forgive me?"

Atalanta rolled her eyes at Jason, but did not answer.

In fact, Atalanta was not as angry as Jason imagined, because Atalanta knew why Jason took the bow of the sky away.

After all, that night in Calydon, Jason shot the silver arrow that killed the Calydonian boar under the moonlight.

Atalanta was the only one who knew.

And although she complained to Artemis, the moon god, about Jason running away with her own bow, Artemis didn't ask Jason what he said to Jason that day. Time to return the bow.

Because Atalanta did not let the moon god Artemis chase the bow back for herself.

After all, just as Jason said, Atalanta knew about Jason...the meeting three years ago, and the meeting three years later, Atalanta vaguely understood this evil fate How heavy is the oracle on Jason's body.

Therefore, Atalanta acquiesced in lending the bow of the sky to Jason... At the same time, this is also Atalante's apology to Jason, for his unreasonable treatment of Jason. apologize.

Of course, these Atalanta will never tell Jason, and will never admit it!

And it's not that Atalanta is not angry. The thing she was most angry with was that Jason left without saying goodbye...

"You actually just knew the answer to the riddle...right?"

Hearing Atalanta's words, Jason couldn't help looking at Atalanta who was holding a bow in front of him and changing the subject, and wanted to ask her if she was the Atalanta he knew.

After all, Jason felt that Atalanta should pounce on him now and fight him...

'Oh, by the way, I remembered, Atalanta swore to Artemis that she would not fight with herself anymore. '

Thinking of this, Jason nodded to Atalanta with a dazed expression on his face.

Atalanta frowned slightly, looked at Jason and said, "In that case, why didn't you just give the answer directly?"

"Because I'm not sure if it will actually let us go after I give the right answer, or deny my answer.

So I want you to discuss first, to prepare. "

Atalanta was slightly stunned upon hearing this, looked at Jason and said, "You mean, even if we answered the correct answer, it won't admit it?"

"This possibility is not ruled out...but this matter is actually quite easy to solve. When answering the question, we swear to the great moon god Artemis, and it is enough to ask Artemis to testify for us. Should not refuse.

I can see that it is very confident in its riddle. "

Atalanta sniffed Jason's words, but didn't reply, just tapped her tongue lightly in secret...because she didn't think of an answer yet.

So looking at Jason in front of her, this made her feel a certain amount of frustration.

After all, this is the suppression of IQ, which is more annoying than force...

But it's not Atalanta's fault, because Jason will know the answer to this riddle because of cheating.

Although Jason didn't know the story of the Sphinx, he had an impression of this riddle.

Because this riddle is very famous, it will be adapted into various films and animations in the future. Jason, who has been influenced by the Internet age, has naturally heard of it.

What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?When he has the most legs, it is also when he walks the slowest and has the weakest physical strength...

The answer is people!

In the morning, it corresponds to the baby, crawling and walking.

Noon corresponds to middle age, standing and walking.
