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

Looking at the old woman, Jason fell silent.

Break this boulder? ......Well, a very simple and rude answer, as long as you are not afraid of being worn by those gods behind.

Help him push the boulder to the top of the mountain? ...The punishment the gods gave him was to keep doing this thing over and over again in his life.

For the gods believed that there was no more severe punishment than this futile and hopeless labor.

And the old woman... In fact, she was the goddess who came down from Mount Olympus and searched for Jason for many days, and finally learned of Jason's whereabouts because Amphitrite came to land.

The queen of days Hera and the mother of Zeus and others, the second generation of queens of Rhea.

At the same time, it was precisely because she had been searching for Jason on the earth for many days that she stumbled across this man named Sisyphus and knew about him.

And after learning about it, Rhea was ready to take care of it, because she felt that such a punishment was a bit too heavy for this human being.

Of course, the main reason is that Rhea learned the truth about the man's severe punishment... When Zeus kidnapped Igina, the daughter of the river god Isopus, it was this A man stumbled across by chance.

Immediately, he went to tell the river god Isopus, so that the river god Isopus could quietly leave his daughter Igina.

And Sisyphus, the man, offended Zeus because of this, which led to the current ending.

Forget about other things, but this kind of thing...

At the same time, when Rhea had the idea of ​​taking care of this matter, she thought of Jason again.

When he thought of Hestia, Athena, and Hermes, to be precise, so many gods in Olympus were paying attention to him.

And I have also heard a lot about Jason, and know that he is a child who often surprises the gods.

So Rhea naturally came up with the idea of ​​what to do if it was the child... So there is this moment, such a scene.

And although Jason doesn't understand the consequences of the preface, but this is a test given by God, and Jason still understands.

So at this moment Jason is now looking at the boulder and the decadent man Sisyphus, and he begins to seriously think about the solution.

Chapter 95 Give meaning to meaningless things (4k)

So Jason, you're going to... how do you handle this?

Rhea's curiosity did not last long.

Because the next day, Jason had already started to act.

The next morning, when Sisyphus stood up, Jason got up and came to him.

Rhea hid in the dark. When she saw Jason coming to Sisyphus, she subconsciously thought that Jason chose to help Sisyphus push the boulder that had been given divine power by the gods.

In this regard, although Rhea does not think this approach is wrong, but... there is always a feeling that the expectation is slightly disappointed.

"Son, are you here to help me push this boulder?"

Sisyphus, who was full of beards and ragged clothes, naturally thought that Jason came because of this, so he said to him indifferently: "Give it up, child, so far I have asked countless passing heroes to help me. You have too many strong people, but no one can help me push it to the top of the mountain!"

"No, I'm not going to help you push the boulder to the top of the mountain."

Then Jason's reply made Sisyphus and Rhea, who was hiding in the dark, stunned.

"You're not going to help me...then what are you doing here?" Sisyphus frowned.

"I am indeed here to help you, because a great god has sent an oracle, but I will not help you push the boulder to the top of the mountain, and I will not destroy this boulder."

Jason finished speaking with a smile, and under Sisyphus' suspicious eyes, he urged him to start today's work.

Then Jason really just watched, watching Sisyphus push the boulder up the mountain from sunrise.

However, during this period of time, he was not idle either, and while following Sisyphus up the mountain, he took out the sea-blue harp and continued to hone his skills.

Because Jason's piano sound was very beautiful, Sisyphus had no intention of driving Jason away.

Soon after that, at sunset, the boulder fell from Sisyphus's hand suddenly, and when it fell, Jason, who had not moved, suddenly set off.

He took out his tin cane and, under Sisyphus' suspicious gaze, drew a horizontal line towards the place where the boulder stopped and then rolled down.

And after just drawing a cross, Jason left.

Sisyphus and Jason left, Rhea came here quietly, looked left and right around the horizontal, and could only suppress the doubts in his heart without seeing anything.

Then on the third day, Jason continued to repeat this action.

At sunset, the place where the boulder stopped was turned horizontally.

Fourth day, fifth day...

A week later, when Jason drew that horizontal line at sunset, Rhea appeared beside Jason.

She looked at the uneven bars on the ground, and her eyes no longer had the initial doubts, because Rhea already understood what Jason was doing.

"Son...is that your answer?"

Rhea, who turned into an old woman, said to Jason: "But as far as I know, you are completely capable of destroying this boulder, or helping him push the boulder to the top of the mountain...Can you tell me, child, why Choose this method?"

"The reason is very simple." Jason bowed to Rhea, and then replied: "Because this is the punishment given to Sisyphus by the great gods, I am not qualified to disobey the gods without their consent. punish."

"But old lady, you asked me to help him, so... I can only choose one of the ways."

With a smile, Jason came to the painted bars on the ground, gestured for the bars on the ground to Rhea, and said, "Look, this is what I painted at first, and the next day, that one was painted. The horizontal is below the initial horizontal.

But on the third day, the fourth day, and even today, no level will be higher than yesterday..."

Jason wasn't finished yet.

"The punishment given to Sisyphus by the gods was to let his life be slowly consumed in such an ineffective and hopeless labor... and you only use such lightly sketched strokes, It completely changed the meaning of it.”

Rhea sighed, looked up at the steep mountain, and said, "This mountain is too high, so Sisyphus' heart is full of despair, knowing that he will never go up, which corresponds to the ineffective and hopeless despair. labor.

But you made him rekindle his fighting spirit with just one painting... Although you did nothing, you have actually deciphered the punishment given to him by the gods and completed the task I taught you, Right? "

Jason smiled softly, without nodding or shaking his head in denial.

"But just like this, it is still impossible for him to push this boulder to the top of the mountain."

After a slight pause, Rhea continued: "Although you have rekindled the fighting spirit in Sisyphus' heart, if the time is too long, he will still be swallowed by despair in the end.

So you're not fundamentally addressing the matter. "

"That's right." This time, Jason nodded.

So when Rhea was stunned for a while, and then watched curiously, Jason said with a constant smile: "Just like this, it really still can't change his fate, after all, his personal strength has a limit after all.

So my method is just to let him get rid of despair and make meaningless things meaningful.

As for the solution to this boulder...I hope you, old lady, can give me some time. "

"...Okay, I'll wait for you." Rhea, who turned into an old woman, smiled at Jason.

If at first, she felt a little disappointed, now Rhea is full of expectations.

Rhea is very curious, what a surprise Jason can give her!

Just like that, with the passage of time.

Another three days have passed.

On the tenth day, things finally ushered in a turning point.

On the way that day, a strong hunter with a hound passed by by chance, and because he heard Jason's beautiful singing, he was attracted.

What a handsome, elegant man... He will not be a great god, Lord Apollo, the god of light!

When the strong hunter saw Jason, he was instantly convinced by Jason's charm.

So he ran to Jason and respectfully asked Jason if it was Apollo, the god of light.

This surprised Jason, and quickly explained that it was not.

And told him his name, it was Hercules!

Of course, it's all little things.

Next, Jason began to invite the strong hunter to help Sisyphus push the boulder to the top of the mountain.

At first glance, the hunter felt that this was impossible, and was about to refuse.

But after Jason promised to give him some money as a reward, the soldiers naturally agreed immediately.

So later, in the doubtful eyes of Rhea and Sisyphus.

Jason follows the hunter to push the boulder up the mountain, and regrets it when the boulder falls off at sunset.

At the position where the hunter helped push to reach, draw a horizontal line, and let him leave his name on this horizontal line...

"Thank you for your cooperation, this is your golden soldier... Brother Hunter, you are really amazing. You can push it so high, much better than this one."

Handing the golden soldier to the hunter, when he praised him wildly, and even made the other party feel a little embarrassed.

When Jason saw this opportunity, he told him that he should go back and spread the matter so that more people knew how powerful he was.

Even for this, he specially gave him some gold coins, and also promised that as long as he brings back a person next time, he will give him a silver coin as a reward!

So, just the next day, the hunter brought ten strong hunters, and Jason also generously gave him ten silver coins.

And also said that whoever is willing to help Sisyphus push the boulder, then he is willing to give him a gold coin!

So naturally, the hunters were eager to move, but at this time Jason set a new rule that only one person could help.

And in the position that he helped the man push to that day, Jason left the hunter's name as usual.

And this second time the hunter pushed to a much lower position than the previous hunter, so he was immediately ridiculed mercilessly.

This made the second hunter instantly feel that the gold coins in his hand were not fragrant.

Annoyed because of this, the fight was flushed, and it almost turned into a duel!

But at this moment, Jason played the beautiful sound of the piano at the right time, calming them down, and said that if you feel unwilling, and you want to prove yourself, it is very simple, push the boulder higher, not Is it ok?

So, on the third day, the hunters began to discuss who should follow Sisyphus to push the boulder together. Because of what happened last night, everyone became eager to try.

Then who knows when they were negotiating, because the original hunter was returning home and following Jason's orders to hype the results.

As a result, people who came to watch the fun or wanted to participate in it to get gold coins ran over like this.

And just like that, with the passage of time, the fourth day...the fifth day.
