Type Moon Greece, I Really Don't Want to Be a Hero!

After referring to how Hestia, Athena, Demeter and other goddesses usually take care of themselves, Jason naturally chose the goddess decisively.

Moreover, the wise god has actually given him a hint.

Hermes emphasized to Jason that Hephaestus was a goddess, and even explained to Jason why Hephaestus was a goddess.

Athena also made it clear to Jason that Hephaestus was a goddess completely different from Artemis.

Although Jason didn't quite understand the reason, both the goddess of wisdom Athena and the cunning Hermes reminded Jason.

Jason naturally knew what choice he should make.

So when he pushed open the door on the right, he saw the god who was sitting in the hall of the temple and had been waiting for him for a long time.

Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen.

The eyes of the two collided, and Hephaestus' face was reflected in Jason's eyes.

However, only half.

That half is a face as delicate as a goddess, while the other half is covered up by a dark mask.

The eyes are amber.

Hephaestus was sitting in the exquisite wheelchair, dressed in very plain, simple white clothes, not even as delicate as those of the maids outside.

"You surprise me, boy."

Hephaestus said softly, her voice was very nice.

"Wealth, strength, beauty... all of these are not what you are after."

Is it really a test? ... Jason heard this and couldn't help but think so.

"No, that's not a test... I'm not the same as Athena, I don't have that kind of interest." Hephaestus shook his head slightly, as if seeing through Jason's thoughts, and said: "I said it to you, it's for you."

Because Jason's soul has the divine power of Hades and is tempered by the inextinguishable fire of the underworld, no one can read his thoughts through Jason's soul now.

"...Eh." Jason blinked.

"Do you regret it, child?"

Hephaestus asked calmly.

"No, no." Jason shook his head and said, "Since I have made a choice, then I will not regret it, but... I don't understand, this should be me and Lord Hephaestus. It's the first time you meet."

Think before you move... Jason has always been this way.

Although it was indeed the first time to meet Hephaestus, Athena had already told Jason.

Hephaestus is the most difficult goddess to deal with, but also the best to deal with.

Also refer to the known stories about Hephaestus.

Jason naturally got an answer.

Never lie to Hephaestus!

Even at this moment, Jason's thoughts cannot be read by anyone, but if Hephaestus, the Hephaestus who has seen too many lies and deceptions, she can probably see it at a glance.

On the contrary, as long as you treat each other sincerely, you can reap goodwill!

Hephaestus smelled Jason's answer, looked at him for a while with some surprise, and then continued: "Because I knew about you a long time ago and paid attention to you.

The reason is also very simple, as you should already know, my conflict with Hera. "

"So I have to admit, I was very happy when I learned that you actually rejected Hera and made her lose face in front of the gods."

When Hephaestus said this, the corner of his mouth rose slightly.

Apparently, he recalled how Hera was furious when she was deflated in the temple because of Jason.

However, when Jason heard this, he seemed extremely embarrassed, and even couldn't help covering his face.

Because Jason didn't actually want to offend Hera, to be precise, he didn't want to offend any of the gods.

But the problem is that he has to reconcile with Hera immediately. Apart from leaving Hecate, Jason really can't think of a second way.

However, this does not mean that Jason has not considered how to solve Hera's problem. On the contrary, he has already got the answer.

The solution, in fact, simply refer to the story of Hercules, and the future Dionysus, you can know what to do.

Because they were all illegitimate sons of Zeus, they were persecuted by Hera a lot in their lives, but they were reconciled in the end, and even Hera took the initiative to reconcile.

And the reason is very simple, because they will become immortal in the future, and they also have extremely good strength!

So own strength, immortal identity.

To put it bluntly, except for Hecate, the best solution!

It was also for this reason that Jason accepted Artemis' moon god arrow in his hand, and worked harder to pursue his immortal identity.

Just as Jason was thinking about this, Hephaestus continued to say to Jason: "And obviously, the better you will perform in your future life after rejecting Hera, the better Hera will be. The more angry she gets."

"The angrier she is, the happier I will be."

"So even though this is the first time we meet, I'm still willing to give you treasure... but I didn't expect that what most people in the world are after is not what you want. ."

"Can you tell me, kid, what exactly do you want?"

Hephaestus looked at Jason curiously. Although she had no idea of ​​testing Jason, when Jason rejected all the temptations in front of her, she was obviously curious about the boy in front of her. .

At the same time, in Hephaestus' mind, he could not help but recall the conversation between Athena and her.

"He's special, unlike any other kid..."

In this world today, there are actually very few people, or very few gods, who can see through the real Jason.

Even the godmother, Demeter, the goddess of harvest who has been with Jason for more than half a year, probably doesn't know Jason.

The only people who really understand Jason are Chiron, Hecate, Hermes and Athena.

"Endless wealth also represents the rights of the world."

"Weapons represent great power and the honor of heroes."

"Dolls of different styles can satisfy your fantasy of any woman, and these dolls, I have not even shown them to any gods except you."

"But you refused all these." Hephaestus looked directly at Jason and asked curiously: "Wealth, power, honor, and even women are not things you are after, that child... . What are you after?"

"The current Queen of the Underworld, Persephone, is the result of the hardships you have taken away from the cage.

When Demeter cried and dried up the earth, it was you who stood up and brought the earth back to life.

Then during those three years, you learned martial arts from the centaur sage Chiron, and you learned magic from Hecate, without a moment's rest. "

"At this moment, I think almost all gods, except for a few gods, believe that you will inevitably embark on the great road that the poet sings, and become the most dazzling star among the shining stars from ancient times to the present... including me the same."

"But obviously today I suddenly found out that I was wrong." Hephaestus looked at Jason and said, "Your eyes tell me that you really have no interest in those... tell My child, what are you looking for?"

Am I... after something?

Jason fell into a brief silence when he heard Hephaestus' words.

Obviously, he did not expect that Hephaestus would suddenly ask himself such an irrelevant question.

But after a brief hesitation, Jason still told her the answer: "If Lady Goddess, you ask me what I'm after...I think I'm actually pursuing the past."

"In the past?" Hephaestus looked even more puzzled.

"Well...that's me, the past I can never go back to."

Jason smiled lightly and said softly: "I am a stranger in a foreign land alone, and I miss my relatives every time during the festival... The past is exactly what I am looking for.

But at the same time, I also understand that it is a place I will never go back, so I can only work hard, make myself work hard, and at the same time... live. "

Under Hephaestus' slightly stunned gaze, Jason said calmly: "Because I know that they who will only exist in the past forever are the only expectations for me now...

Maybe it's to let me live a good life no matter where I am. "

Hecate, the centaur sage Chiron and Athena, it can be said that apart from Hermes, they were very tolerant towards Jason very early on.

In the simplest terms, let's say Athena.

Athena is not less deflated in Jason's hands.

But when Jason saw Athena, she was the first to give him something or let him rest.

At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why Jason is always inexplicably attracted the attention of female goddesses.

Hephaestus was silent, her amber eyes staring at Jason who smiled at her.

Speechless for a long time.

"Come here, child."

Jason obediently walked in front of Hephaestus, and Hephaestus subconsciously reached out and wanted to touch Jason's head.

But when her hand was halfway out, she silently shrank back.

Then, from his arms, he took out a delicate silver bracelet and put it on Jason himself.

That was the divine artifact that Athena entrusted her to forge to block Hera's perception.

After handing this thing to Jason, Hephaestus was actually going to let him go at first, but now...

"Son, where is my tribute."

Hephaestus watched with a smile, and after a slight freeze, Jason, who looked a little embarrassed, said softly in a nice voice, "You should have prepared a tribute for me, right?"

"But it doesn't matter if you don't. Before that, you can stay here."

Chapter 76 Tribute to the Artisan God, Answers

"Thanks to the great Goddess Hephaestus for your kindness!"

Hearing Hephaestus' words, Jason was relieved.

And Hephaestus looked at Jason who was looking at him gratefully, and she could not help but quietly look away, appearing a little guilty.

Because Hephaestus was actually not interested in tribute at first...

Athena's evaluation of Hephaestus was the exact opposite of Artemis, the most difficult but at the same time the easiest goddess to deal with.
