I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

"It will be a perfect circle, Seleus! I will be a better king than my father Aeson."

"I have always believed in you, Jason." Seleus patted Jason on the shoulder.It was so easy to say, but Seleus knew that it would not be so simple for Jason to do what he said in detail, but the person in front of him was Jason, and even the gods would look sideways at this mere tribulation The hero spans the past.

"Then there will be a time later, my friend..."

Chapter 46 Here Comes the Devil Pig

"I beg you! The hero who defeated the dragon! If it is you, you will definitely save us!"

I don't know what's going on, but Colchis is about [-] miles away from here, but the news of Seleus's head-on victory over the dragon spread throughout Greece overnight as if across time and space.

No, as soon as he saw the figure of Seleus, this old man with a family, who seemed to be fleeing from a refugee, immediately ran to Serleus and knelt down, and kept begging Seleus to help them .

"Excuse me, old man!" Although he couldn't figure it out, Seleus, who wanted to help the old man up but was afraid of accidentally hurting the old man, subconsciously asked what happened to the old man.

"We offended the gods! Now, the angry Lord Artemis has sent down her demon pigs to punish us..."

"What?"

......

After leaving Dessaray, Seleus wondered how he would return the Golden Fleece to the king of Colchis without the Argonaut.

"You can't let me go rowing alone! I can't tell the direction at sea, I will die at sea." Even experienced sailors will get lost in the fog that suddenly rises at sea, let alone Sailing only has the corresponding knowledge and a little experience of the sidelines Seleus.If he were to row the boat alone, a random storm would trap him to death at sea.

"It's really hard for Jason to find such a simple bag in the palace after Bolias enjoyed so many years of luxury. He should have guessed that I was going to leave and planned to give me the Golden Fleece."

Lifting the bag containing the golden fleece in his hand and looking at it in front of his eyes, Seleus was a little moved by his friend's kindness.But soon he put the bag away.

"Okay, let's put aside those troublesome things that give you a headache when you think about it, I want to roast some meat to fill my stomach." After stretching himself, Seleus decided to light a fire and roast some meat come to eat.Since he had no clue about so many things, he simply concentrated on the barbecue.After all, only when you are full can you have the strength to think about what you have and what you don’t have, isn’t it?

"Because I had things on my mind, I took dry food for breakfast and lunch. But I have to light a fire for dinner. I hope Lord Hestia will not be angry with me." Seleu, who was sitting cross-legged beside the fire Si folded his hands and prayed.

And just when Serius was about to enjoy his barbecue feast, a group of refugees who looked like fleeing with their luggage and their families came to the place where Serius was staying. There was a shock at first, and when he saw Serleus' figure clearly, an old man ran up to Serleus and knelt down with his eyes shining.

"I beg you! The hero Seleus who defeated the dragon! Please help us!"

......

Heaven, at the pool on Mount Olympus.

"Why does a person's soul change so much before and after!!!"

The one who spoke was a goddess with long silver hair, Artemis, the god of the moon.At this time, the goddess who symbolizes nobility and calmness clasped her head with both hands frantically.

"Who told our little princess to send down the plague according to her preference regardless of the child's tribute?"

Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, who was still wearing the same old costume, sat next to Artemis and said softly, but no matter how hard the Lady Goddess tried to keep her expression calm, the complacency in her tone was still 'irritated' Artemis on the side.

"I'm so distressed, it's fine if you don't come up with an idea, and you're still talking sarcasticly, let's see how I teach you a lesson!"

The vigorous hunter goddess fell on Athena's body like a leopard, and kept tickling Athena's body with her hands, which caused the goddess of wisdom to smile again and again.For a while, two beautiful lilies bloomed on the mountain of Olympus, and the male gods around couldn't help but glanced at them, and then walked away calmly under the gaze of Apollo exuding murderous intent. .As for Zeus?Both Hera and Leto were on Mount Olympus.

"But what should we do now! Serius must really hate me..."

After fighting with her sisters, the little princess of Mount Olympus fell into distress again.Strange to say, in Olympus, which advocates petiteness and beauty, the god king's favorite little princess Artemis is an out-and-out muscular control.

"So why didn't you learn to be a concubine to leave yourself a way out? You know that this child with Hades and the others is destined to achieve great things. Isn't it too late to regret it now?" Athena raised her eyebrows, as the goddess of wisdom She doesn't think those guys who don't think about things and wait for things to pass before regretting them don't deserve sympathy.

But Artemis is her friend no matter what, and Athena still gave her some ideas...

"That kid wants to go to Colchis...you can have him deal with the piggies...and then..."

"Is this enough?" Artemis was a little excited, and she couldn't wait to try the suggestion Athena gave her.

"Of course not." Athena shook her head lightly, breaking Artemis' illusion. "That kid is a hero with great self-esteem, but this may not change his impression of you. You have to be prepared for a protracted battle."

Just when the two goddesses got together to discuss matters, Hermes, the messenger of the gods, did not think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and came to the side of Apollo whose face was getting darker and darker.

"Hey! My honorable Master Apollo, if you don't take good care of your sister, our noble little princess will be abducted by a mortal."

But contrary to the expectation of the god of fun, Apollo did not use his golden arrow to teach the little guy some lessons, but grabbed his head.

"A... Apollo... what do you want?"

"For some reason, I can't do anything to that little guy now! Also, my sister Artemis will never succeed. And before that..." The anger in Apollo's eyes made Hermes He shivered all over, this time he was the one who picked things up first, so the rest of the gods would definitely not help him, but instead would watch how Apollo would deal with this guy who was on fire everywhere.

"Did you see anything? About that little guy?" Hermes was struggling for the last time. "Maybe I can do you a favor about what you saw..."

"I only see you tied to my chariot and walking around in circles..."

Chapter 47 Luna Goddess

"So, what are these people thinking to forget Artemis when they sacrificed to the gods?" After accepting the requests of the refugees, Seleus decided to go to Calydon to solve the problem. The devil pig that has been raging. "You can see the moon when you look up at night..."

Anyway, Colchis' Golden Fleece has been gone for such a long time, it's not bad for a while, and the devil pig will threaten people's safety all the time before it is dealt with, Serius can still tell which is more important .

"It's just that today's moon is surprisingly bright." Seleus looked up at the sky, obviously today is only the third day of this month, but there is a strange full moon hanging in the sky.

"It reminds me of some unpleasant things." To be honest, Seleus didn't want to walk at night under this eerie full moon, because it would bring him a very uncomfortable feeling.But there is no way around it, the devil pig is still raging on the land of Calydon, the sooner Seleus can get rid of that devil pig, the less people will be harmed by the devil pig.

"Are you going to deal with my demon pig alone?" The clear and intoxicating voice of a girl like a yellow oriole suddenly entered Serius' ears, and at the same time, Serius also sensed a strange divine power appeared behind him.

'It's a god!And considering that this bizarre full moon is Artemis, the moon god! '

Seleus made an instant judgment in his mind, then turned around decisively to salute, put his right hand on his heart, and bowed slightly to the girl with long silver-white hair who suddenly appeared.

"I praise you, Artemis, the beautiful moon goddess. May your beauty shine forever like this dazzling moonlight." This month Artemis, the goddess of the moon, offers her praises.

It was just a word of praise, and if a word of praise could save him from the troubles from Artemis, Seleus felt that he could say it sincerely for the whole night.He had already done enough, and if he offended the Moon Goddess by missing a word of praise, he couldn't help but slap himself.

"Hmm~~~" Hearing what Serius said, Artemis puffed up her face in dissatisfaction, but after thinking of something, the Moon Goddess lowered her head helplessly and played with her fingers.

A strange atmosphere filled the surroundings of Seleus and Artemis. The moon goddess heard the indifference in Seleus' tone. Artemis, who had never encountered such a situation since childhood, didn't know what to do. how to respond.

Without a response from the goddess, Seleus couldn't continue to do his own thing.Childhood experience and the demon pig that is still raging in Calydon have fully explained to Seleus what the consequences of offending the goddess will be.So no matter how much he wanted to get rid of the big trouble called the goddess in front of him, Seleus still didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

Time passed minute by minute in this unspeakable silence, and seeing that things had not progressed for a long time, a certain goddess who had been hiding in the dark and peeping finally couldn't sit still.

"Ah~~" With a helpless sigh, Athena in a Greek robe appeared next to Artemis.

"How should I say hello to you two?" Athena put her hands on her forehead. "A princess who is the most beloved on Mount Olympus, and a hero who is difficult to find a third in all of Greece. How can they stay together like two ignorant children?"

Seeing Athena appear, Seleus couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Although he knew that his original sacrifice did have bad intentions, but when he thought of the goddess of the moon in front of him mercilessly punishing him, Seleus felt that there was always a thorn in his heart.

The arrival of Athena not only eased the weird atmosphere at the scene, but also with her as a mediator, the conversation between man and God should go on smoothly.

"Selius, you should have heard about Artemis throwing a demon pig in Calydon." Athena no longer expected Artemis to solve the matter by herself, she had already told her in advance Well, what should I say when I meet Serius, but she is still awkward and unable to say anything.So Athena had no choice but to help her good sister in person.

"Actually, I just accepted the request from the refugees, and now I'm going to deal with that devil pig." Saying this, Seleus spread his hands, expressing that he didn't understand what the two goddesses wanted him for.

"The king of Calydon forgot to offer sacrifices to Artemis during the harvest sacrifice to the gods, so Artemis decided to use a magic pig to punish disrespectful Calydon. You should understand that this is the god A necessary means to maintain one's majesty." Athena explained the cause and effect of this incident to Seleus.

Serius actually approved of this kind of punishment, but the starting point was by no means the so-called 'magnificence of the gods'.In this era when the gods are present, the gods often represent various concepts because of their priesthood.Take Artemis as an example, as the patron saint of newborns, if she does not exist, the survival rate of human newborns will be pitifully low.

The sacrifice to the gods is not only to pray for the protection of the gods, but also to thank the gods for performing their duties.And once you forget to thank the gods, then the gods have every reason not to perform their duties.Compared with the deity no longer performing the priesthood, it is simply too cost-effective to just give one punishment and forget the past.

"If you don't punish this kind of behavior, it is tantamount to allowing humans to be disrespectful to the gods. Then this kind of behavior will become more and more common. You shouldn't want someone to forget to sacrifice for Hades when offering sacrifices to the gods." A tribute, right?" Athena showed a charming smile, and walked slowly in front of Seleus.

Serius really wanted to say that Lord Hades didn't have time to care whether mortals offered sacrifices to him, but when he thought that Lord Hades, who was honestly in charge of the underworld, might not receive the tribute, he shut his mouth tightly again. up.

"But the kind Artemis felt that the punishment she imposed was too heavy, but taking it back would not have the effect of punishment, so she came to ask you to help her deal with that devil pig. Isn't it, Artemis?" Si." Athena did not forget the real purpose of the two gods coming here.

"That's right! I'm here to entrust you to deal with that devil pig." Hearing Athena's reminder, Artemis finally reacted, and kept nodding her little head. "If you can help me get rid of that devil pig, then I will send you... woo woo woo..."

"What she means is that once you get rid of that devil pig, she can fulfill one of your requests." Seeing that Artemis was about to expose the fact that they had been spying on Serius, Athena was quick-eyed. Covering Artemis' mouth.

"But I have already promised those refugees to deal with that devil pig, and there is no need for Lord Artemis to repay." Although he was a little concerned about what the Moon Goddess said when he was blocked, Seleus still dismissed the inquiry. idea.

"No, no, it's one thing to entrust a mortal, but another to entrust a god." The corners of Athena's mouth gradually rose. "Although the result is that you need to deal with that demon pig, the goal we want to achieve is not at all the same as those mortals..."

Chapter 48 The Devil Pig Has Fallen

"I remember, when Lord Athena mentioned this demon pig, she said that it was thrown down by Lord Artemis... right?"

Seleus has always believed that even in the era when the gods appeared, the poisonous dragon he killed in Colchis should be the ceiling in terms of size.It wasn't until the devil pig in front of him crashed into a mountain in front of him that he realized that he, who had been thinking rationally in the face of this unreasonable world, was really too naive.

"So, how did Lord Artemis throw down such a big thing?" The slender arms of the silver-haired goddess emerged in Seleus's mind, and no matter how he looked at it, it couldn't be linked to power.

"Hmph~~~~" The demon pig let out a huge roar, which shook the nearby mountains.

What a devil pig that is.The black body is dotted with red and blue patterns. It is about 50 meters high and 80 meters long. The cyan divine light that represents the family of the Luna faintly emerges on it...

"Should I say it's fortunate that I came early? Otherwise, with this guy's size, sooner or later it would spread to areas other than Calydon." Seleus held the battle ax in his hand.

As if feeling hostility, this mountain-like demon pig immediately locked on to Seleus, who was holding a weapon not far away.Seemingly annoyed at the provocation of the 'little ant' in front of him, the devil pig snarled again, and ran straight at Serius.

Rows of trees fell to the ground, the ground trembled violently, forest birds flew in all directions, and wild beasts fled in panic.The power of the demon pig's charge was too shocking, as if there were no obstacles to stop its steps.

"boom!!!"

Seleus' magic power exploded from the soles of his feet, he easily jumped onto the pig's head, and then slashed down with his tomahawk.The head was suddenly attacked by a huge force, and the charging demon pig had no time to adjust its center of gravity before it hit the ground heavily, stirring up dust all over the sky.

"Cough cough! Cough! This guy's skin is ridiculously thick." Seleus, who was choked by the rising dust, looked at the two-meter-long 'small wound' on the head of the demon pig. He said speechlessly, "Even that dragon had a serious wound on its abdomen when it ate my axe."

"Hmm!!!"

The injury seemed to arouse the viciousness of the demon pig. After standing up, the demon pig began to swing its body crazily, trying to shake off Serius from its head.But how could Seleus let the devil pig be thrown down casually? The hands holding the battle ax suddenly burst out with powerful magic power, and slashed down on the devil pig's head fiercely.In an instant, the demon pig's head hit the ground again.

"The wound is still so small, how long will it take to grind this guy to death?" Serius looked at the wound caused by the tomahawk, which looked scary but was actually only a small wound to the demon pig. Helplessly sighed.

But just when Serius was mentally preparing for a protracted battle, the demon pig under his feet suddenly realized that if the battle situation continued like this, he would be tortured to death by this human being.If it wanted to survive, it had to use some ruthless tricks.

After letting out a roar that shook the sky, the magic pig's tower-like limbs suddenly exerted force, and it jumped up with its huge mountain-like body, and with the help of the jumping force, it turned the body over in the air, with its head down The way slammed down heavily towards the ground.

"I can't accept it! Can this thing still jump? How did it do it!" Seleus was startled. He couldn't understand how the devil pig's limbs, which were too short compared to its body, supported it to jump up. of.But no matter whether Seleus can understand it or not, it is already an established fact that the magic pig jumped up.

The earth was screaming, and the moment the devil pig landed, countless cracks appeared and spread rapidly, and the earth that was already scarred by the devil pig's rampage became riddled with holes in an instant.

Seleus, who had erupted his magic power to avoid the blow before the demon pig landed, looked at the tragedy caused by the demon pig with some fear.

The devil pig got up unsteadily and shook its head vigorously a few times. It seemed that this made it feel very uncomfortable.But in just a moment, the demon pig regained its ability to fight. It aimed its head at Serius, and kept scratching the ground with its front hooves. This was a preparatory action for it to charge.

"Since I can only barely break through its defense with my strength, what about the combined strength of the two of us?" Seeing the demon pig preparing to charge, Seleus suddenly thought of a way to solve it but a little risky. method.

The demon pig ran into Serleus again, and seeing the demon pig getting closer, Seleus's right pupil flashed, and then he took a step forward with his left foot, and suddenly stepped on the ground.The burst of magic power caused cracks to appear on the ground. Serius, who was holding Everdias in both hands, seemed to turn into a bolt of lightning, and slashed at the head of the demon pig that was rushing forward.

The crimson flames of the red lotus entangled Serius' body, which was also a phenomenon that only appeared when Serius used all his strength.Everdias, who slashed down with all his strength, hit the head of the demon pig from the front, and in an instant, Serius was knocked out.

"Is it too difficult to wrestle with a guy whose size is far larger than yourself when there is nowhere to rely on the air?" Serius struggled to crawl out of the ground.The huge force of the demon pig directly smashed him into the ground, but Seleus was sure that the condition of the demon pig must be worse than him.

Two powerful forces acted on the demon pig's head at the same time, and after leaving a deep bone wound, it obviously destroyed the demon pig's brain at the same time.It can't even stand firmly now, and its body is wobbly, and it may fall down at any time.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.Taking advantage of the time when the demon pig lost its ability to move, Seleus had already prepared an attack that could directly kill the demon pig.

The crimson red lotus fire entangled Serius' body again, and the explosive magic power made Serius rush towards the demon pig like a shell. .

"boom!"

The huge body of the demon pig hit the ground again, but this time, it couldn't get up anymore...

Chapter 49 Athena's Idea

"This guy should be dead, right?"

Seleus kicked the silent demon pig, and the demon pig whose brain had a hole opened naturally did not respond.

"The remaining question is—how should I deal with this guy?" Although the demon pig was killed, Seleus had a hard time dealing with it afterwards.

Just like a person will die if he is killed, a corpse will rot in the sun if it is left unattended.And once such a large demon pig carcass starts to rot, the stench and the possible germs it will breed... That picture is so disgusting that Serius dare not continue to think about it.

"I don't want to do bad things with good intentions. Just leaving the corpse of the devil pig alone will do more harm to the people of Calydon than if the devil pig is still alive." Seleus scratched his head in distress. "It's too wasteful to burn it with fire. It's rare that I worked so hard to kill it. It feels too bad for not getting any loot..."

"Then why don't you try to dedicate it to Artemis?" A familiar voice came from behind Seleus.

Serius followed the voice and turned his head. He always liked to come to him so quietly, and the only one who made him feel that the voice was familiar was Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom.Sure enough, Athena, who always pulled up the helmet's visor, stood not far from Seleus with a confident smile on her face.

'By the way, is this goddess so idle?And she can always appear in front of me at the right time. This goddess should not be staring at me all the time, right? 'Selius was a little puzzled, but quickly shook his head to get the whimsical thoughts out of his mind.

"What? I've seen my concubine so many times, you should be used to her sudden appearance." Athena was a little dissatisfied with the unnatural expression of Celius when he saw her, so she picked up a branch and stopped. Keep knocking on the head of Seleus. "Or do you really don't want to see the concubine?"

"How could it be? I'm just at a loss because the great and beautiful Goddess of Wisdom cares about me as a mortal." Facing the death question from the Goddess, Seleus felt that he had only one answer.

"Really~~~?" Athena's voice was very drawn out.

"Of course!" Serius replied decisively, while trying to change the subject. "By the way, is Lord Athena suggesting that I dedicate this devil pig to Lord Artemis? You should know that I have a little psychological shadow on the aspect of worshiping gods..."

Athena stared meaningfully at Seleus, who was pretending to be calm, before explaining following Seleus's question after a while.

"Don't worry, your soul is pure now, so you don't have to worry about offending the gods when you worship them." Athena explained. "And this time the consecration was requested by Artemis, so you should relax and prepare for the sacrifice ceremony."
