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

The successful transfer of the topic made Seleus heave a sigh of relief in his heart, but Athena's explanation brought him new doubts. "Since the divine punishment was incurred this time because the king of Calydon forgot to offer tribute to Lord Artemis, why not let them make up the tribute, but ask me to sacrifice to Lord Artemis instead?"

"Hehe." Athena couldn't help laughing when she looked at Seleus who looked a little dazed because of doubts. "Who can guess the little thoughts of the goddess?"

After Athena finished speaking, she disappeared in front of Seleus, just as suddenly as she came, leaving only Seleus wondering why the goddess made such an arrangement.But after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure out why. Serius decided not to think about it. As long as he didn't violate his creed, he would just do what the goddess asked him to do honestly. It's meaningless to think so much. .

But thinking about his performance in front of Athena, Serius was not only secretly glad that he was facing Athena who had helped him, otherwise his backbone would not have allowed him to be so flattering in front of other gods.

'its not right!Facing other gods, I will only remain calm and respectful and polite, and will not fall into this situation at all. ' Seleus suddenly realized something. 'Is this the so-called self-inflicted...'

......

Heaven, on Mount Olympus.

"How's it going! How's it going! Did he agree to sacrifice?" Artemis threw himself nervously in front of Athena who had just returned.

"Didn't you already see it? Why bother to ask." The goddess of wisdom, Athena, didn't understand her good sister's brain circuit. She clearly saw the whole process through the pool, so why bother to ask her.

"I'm just a little nervous~~ and watching through that pool is always a bit psychedelic, which makes people feel unreal." Artemis nodded her fingers shyly, obviously she also felt that she The performance is a bit impatient. "And Serius was so indifferent after seeing me, which made me always worry that he would refuse to sacrifice to me."

"Who made you go so far back then, that child has been psychologically shadowed by you." Athena looked at Artemis, who was worried about gain and loss, with a funny face, but she had never seen her good sister show such a thing. cute expression.

"There's no way around it. Anyone who suddenly sees something so filthy as his soul calling him will be shocked. But who would have thought that he has changed so much in just a dozen years!" Expanding her persuasive power, Lady Moon Goddess opened her hands and gestured.

"Yeah, who would have thought that he could grow into such a great hero in just a dozen years?" Athena's voice was somewhat smug. Such a big gain, especially compared with Artemis, who was still worrying about how to eliminate the dissatisfaction in Seleus's heart, the corners of Athena's mouth could not help but rise a bit.

"Damn! People are like this, you are still here to gloat!" Athena's proud smile naturally couldn't hide from Artemis who was facing her face to face. Artemis, who felt offended, directly hugged Athena's neck and shook it vigorously. up.

"Okay, okay, my fault! My fault! Since I have been giving you advice these days, Lord Artemis please let me go!" Realizing that Artemis really I got a little angry, Athena hurriedly comforted her, and coaxed the angry Moon Goddess down.

"Is the method you said to get Serius to enshrine the devil pig to me really effective?" Artemis, who was quick to lose his temper, was a little worried about gains and losses. "Do you think I have to give him something like you?"

"No way!" Athena shook her finger gently. "Selius is a hero with strong self-esteem. You can see that when he faced the poisonous dragon and the devil pig, he clearly possessed the artifact made by Hephaestus, and he has mastered the divine power of the God of Destruction, but he did not use it at all. His attitude has changed. When the gap between you has not been eliminated, giving things like artifacts for no reason may arouse his resentment even more."

"Then I can only follow your method slowly?" Artemis was a little disappointed.

"Don't worry, this concubine is the goddess of wisdom, I will definitely not go wrong according to the concubine's method..."

Chapter 50 Tower Meow "?"

"Finally finished."

Seleus had been busy for a long time before finishing the preparations for the sacrifice. This was because on the one hand, the body of the demon pig was too big; There are not many intact materials that can be used to arrange sacrificial ceremonies.

"Did Lady Athena really lie to me?" Seeing the unusually dazzling full moon in the sky, Seleus felt a little guilty. "Since Lord Artemis is willing to face me directly, it means that Lord Athena did not lie to me at least on the point of pure soul."

Having made up his mind, Seleus took a deep breath, then knelt down on one knee facing the moon in the sky, put his right hand on his lap and covered his heart, and opened his left palm to point at the moon in the sky.

"Eternally shining full moon, dwelling in the land of the gods, beautiful and noble hunting maiden. Mortal Seleus offers you the demon pig he hunted, may your... eh?"

Before Seleus could finish speaking, a beam of light filled with the brilliance of the moon impatiently descended from the sky, covering the corpse of the demon pig firmly inside.

This sudden development left Seleus stunned.What does this mean?He hasn't finished yet?Seleus, who didn't understand what the goddess meant, began to worry about whether he should continue to say the prayer or wait for the end of the incident silently.

Fortunately, the beam of light from Artemis disappeared quickly, and Seleus didn't have to worry about whether to continue reciting prayers.

"what is this?"

The originally huge corpse of the demon pig was wrapped by the divine power from the moon god, and began to shrink slowly. When the divine power disappeared, what appeared in front of Seleus was a complete demon pig skin the size of a normal wild boar.

"???" Seleus looked at the devil pigskin that made his fist look big but couldn't cover his head at all, and doubts kept flashing in his heart.

'Why are you always giving me things I don't need?Instead of giving me this, why not send me to Colchis...? ? ? '

Just when Seleus complained in his heart that the devil pigskin in his hand was useless, the full moon in the sky once again lowered a beam of light, and this time it made Seleus feel more anxious than the previous one, as if he was in a hurry. The elementary school students who were going to school suddenly realized that they hadn’t brought homework on the way, and they directly took photos of Serius without any foreshadowing.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that Lord Artemis asked me to sacrifice? Why..." Before he finished speaking, the beam of light filled with the moon's brilliance disappeared with Seleus.

......

"Didn't Serius be punished by you when you sacrificed to you before? This caused a huge psychological shadow to him, and it was also the main reason why he was dissatisfied with you." Athena turned to Artemis explaining his plan.

"Does this have anything to do with asking Serius to offer sacrifices to me?" Lady Moon Goddess felt a bit overwhelmed.

"The best way for people and gods to deepen their connection is to sacrifice, but because of the previous psychological shadow, Serius himself will hardly take the initiative to perform sacrifices to you. What we have to do is to dispel his psychological shadow and let him understand If it is him, then there is no need to have any scruples about offering sacrifices to Artemis." Athena tapped Artemis' small head affectionately with her hand. "After all, it is the most difficult step for everything to come from nothing, and once there is the first time, there must be a second, third, or even countless times."

"So if you want to get rid of Serius' prejudice against me, you must first eliminate the psychological shadow caused by the previous divine punishment. And to eliminate the psychological shadow, you must let him understand that offering sacrifices to me will not make him punished, Instead, he will be rewarded." Artemis, who gradually understood Athena's method, became more and more excited.

"That's right." Athena nodded with a smile.

"But why change the pigskin into a size that Seleus can't use? According to your method, I should give him what he needs most now." Artemis now has a relationship with Seleus The same doubt, but unlike Seleus, who has no one to answer, the Moon Goddess can get the answer from Athena, who gave the idea.

"Because it wasn't for Serius to use." Athena showed her confident smile again on her face.

"Isn't it for Serius?" Artemis felt even more confused.

"What do you think is the biggest characteristic of a man?" Athena did not directly answer the question of the Moon Goddess.

"The characteristics of a man?" Mentioning men, the first thing Artemis thought of was Father God Zeus and younger brother Apollo. Thinking of their past styles, Moon Goddess couldn't help showing a disgusted expression. "A gorilla with a mind full of dirty thoughts, an ape who thinks from the lower body, a lustful and nasty..."

"Okay, okay." Athena quickly interrupted Artemis. "You also know what kind of fellows they are, and you have to understand that Seleus is a man like them."

"Selius is different from them! When he saw Atta, you and me, he didn't show that kind of disgusting expression at all, and even if a human girl offered to accompany him, he was always firm. I refused." It seemed that Artemis was very dissatisfied with Athena's taking this issue as an issue, and the pure Moon Goddess had very high demands on her partner.

"But you can't guarantee that a great hero like Seleus will never meet a woman he likes, can you?" Athena curled her lips, disapproving of Artemis' glare. "If he really meets the woman he likes, what can you do? Don't forget that you swore to Chaos."

"So what if I swore, it won't affect my relationship with a man." Artemis said nonchalantly. "Anyway, my oath is just to guarantee my purity."

"But what are you going to do with a young man? Especially after being aroused by you?" Goddess of Wisdom's question shattered the Artemis like a torpedo.

"Then what should I do?" Artemis suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter with a mournful face, blinking and blinking at Athena with his big pitiful eyes.

"That's why I made you make the pigskin like that. Don't you have a lovely child called Atalanta?"

Chapter 51 Return of the Golden Fleece

"Although it was sent to Colchis, what should I do if I have no face to return the Golden Fleece?" In a small corner outside the Colchis palace, Seleus carefully hid his figure.

His size is so different from ordinary people, as long as anyone on the street sees him, he will immediately know that the warrior who killed the poisonous dragon head-on has come to Colchis again, and King Aeetes will also get the news immediately.But Seleus is completely unprepared to meet the king and return the Golden Fleece, so he can only hide in a small corner where no one is around.

After being shrouded by the beam of light from the moon, he found himself taken to Colchis in an instant, but because it was night, Seleus was embarrassed to disturb King Aeetes's rest, so he secretly ran to the bullpen and that place. The two bulls had a heart-to-heart talk and wanted to spend the night in their haystack.

Contrary to Seleus' expectations, he thought that he had treated the two bulls so badly at the beginning, and that when they met again, it would definitely take a lot of effort to communicate with each other before they could sleep on the haystack.But the two bulls were very enthusiastic when they saw Seleus, and they took the initiative to let the haystack out before Seleus could open his mouth, and in order to prevent Seleus from being discovered, they directly guarded the door to prevent anyone from entering.

The behavior of the two bulls moved Seleus very much. He felt that he should not sleep in the haystack so selfishly and let the two owners here guard him, so he invited the bulls to sleep in the haystack with him.But the bulls obviously thought that Seleus had come to Colchis with great difficulty. How could they, as landlords, allow guests to sleep with them in a small haystack?So they kept refusing, but in the end they huddled together with Seleus at his strong invitation. (Bulls: Shit!)

The next day, Seleus thought he had come to return the Golden Fleece, so he should be able to meet the king naturally.But when Seleus came to the palace, he still retreated.It's like a student with excellent grades suddenly wanted to cheat in an exam but was caught on the spot, and dared not look at the head teacher's face.Seleus always felt embarrassed to see King Colchis again. After all, although it was in accordance with the requirements of the gods, the fact that he cheated and snatched the treasure of Colchis by despicable means is undeniable.

"It's going to be dark again, do I have to bother those two bulls again?" Between the friendly performance of the two bulls last night and the little guilt in Serius' heart, Seleu Adams decided that when referring to them in the future, he must add honorifics.

"Forget it. I'm sorry." Seleus sat cross-legged on the ground and supported his head with his hands, thinking sadly how to send the Golden Fleece back.

"I figured it out!" Seleus suddenly exclaimed in surprise. "My purpose is to return the Golden Fleece to Colchis. Why should I be obsessed with handing the Golden Fleece to the king myself? So just find a place where people would never dare to hide the Golden Fleece and put it there, won't it be all right?" ?”

Although it is the way of a warrior to face up to difficulties, Seleus feels that it is harmless to take a shortcut once in a while in order to achieve his goal.

"But? Can that place meet my requirements?" Seleus was in trouble again, but it was easier than trying to figure out what to say after seeing King Colchis.

"Golden Fleece...Golden Fleece...Although I know that no one in Colchis dares to hide the Golden Fleece, I still feel worried just looking for a place to put it there." Thinking hard to no avail Finally, Seleus decided to go over the problem from beginning to end.

"The purpose is to hand over the golden fleece to the king, but I can't put it directly in the palace, because I can't explain why I have to sneak into the palace at night. For a country, the status of the king is the highest. It must be the priest of the god of protection, I can send the golden fleece directly to the temple of Hecate!"

......

"Since the golden fleece was taken away, my father's behavior has been very strange." The lovely Medea is still performing her duties as a priest of Hecate today.

"Obviously when I was alone, I always lamented that I lost the Golden Fleece, but every time my brother and I went to comfort him, the father said on his face, 'As long as you two are safe, the Golden Fleece will be gone' His smile doesn’t look like it’s been forced.” Princess Medea, who had little experience in life, expressed her incomprehension about her father’s behavior during this time.But when she was thinking about what to do to make her father happy, the enchantment she arranged around the temple told her that someone had broken into here.

"Who's there?!" Medea clenched her wand with one hand, and opened her other hand to aim at the position where the intruder was sensed.The next moment, an incomparably complicated magic circle floated in the air from her open palm, and a chain wrapped around the intruder.

"Thank you very much for your mercy, but I'm not a bad person." Of course, the one who was bound by the chains was Seleus who had waited until nightfall and sneaked into the Temple of Hecate.But Seleus, who knew nothing about magic, never expected that there were so many barriers arranged here, and he was discovered just outside the temple.And because it was a little girl who discovered him, in order to prevent the little girl from feeling threatened, he took the initiative to suppress the divine power of Cronus in his body and chose to be bound by this chain.

"Sneaking into Lord Hecate's temple at night, and saying that he is not a bad person? If he is not a bad person, why don't he come to sacrifice to Lord Hecate during the day?" Seeing that his magic can easily lock the visitor, Medea was relieved a lot, and then began to question the intruder locked by her.

"Although this sounds a bit unbelievable, I'm actually here to return the treasures of Colchis." Seleus's voice seemed a little helpless. Who would have thought that there would be people who didn't sleep at night and ran to the place like him? In the temple of Hecate?

"Return the treasure? Are you fooling me? The only treasure lost by Colchis is the Golden Fleece that was snatched by Serius! I don't think you who can be easily locked by my magic are the one who defeated Ares head-on My lord’s Sirius of the poisonous dragon.” Of course Medea didn’t believe Serius’s words, and she was young and vigorous, pointing out what she thought was unreasonable.

"Actually, I am the Serleus who stole your golden fleece, but please believe me, I am really here to return the golden fleece..."

Chapter 52 What did the god of beauty do?

"Believe me, I really came to return the golden fleece." Seleus stepped out of the shadows, and in order to improve the persuasiveness of his words, he collapsed in front of Medea. A chain made of magic by the little princess.

"It's really you! Serius, the villain who stole the golden fleece from my father!" Seeing that the chains she made with magic were easily snapped by the strong man who was as tall as two of her in front of her, Mei Dia was so frightened that he jumped up, and at the same time believed that the tall man in front of him was Serius who defeated the poisonous dragon of Ares.

"You have already robbed your father's treasure, and your father is always unhappy. What are you going to do now that you have returned to Colchis?" Medea would not believe Serius's words of returning the Golden Fleece, if Now you want to return it, so why grab it in the first place?

Although she knew that her magic was useless to Seleuth, Medea pointed her wand at Seleuth in front of her because of her current position in Hecate's temple. s.

'Father?Is this girl Medea, the princess of Colchis? ' Seleus got a message from the girl's words. 'I can give the golden fleece to this princess, and she will pass it on to the king of Colchis.In this case, apart from God, there are only four people who know that the Golden Fleece has returned to Colchis. '

Seeing Medea's attitude that he didn't believe that he was here to return the Golden Fleece, Seleus, who knew that what he said was useless at the moment, decisively threw the bag containing the Golden Fleece at Medea's feet, while he himself In order to lower Medea's vigilance, she naturally raised a French military salute.

"This bag contains the Golden Fleece!" The French military salute is indeed a sacred ceremony that can be used by any race and can lower the vigilance of those around it under any circumstances.Seeing Seleus with his hands raised high, Medea suddenly felt that the man in front of her didn't seem to be threatening at this moment, so she boldly picked up the bag that Seleus had thrown at her feet.

"You are really here to return the Golden Fleece!" Medea stared blankly at the Golden Fleece in the bag. She couldn't understand that there are people who are willing to return the treasure that they have worked so hard to get. return.Although Seleus said at the beginning that he had no malice, Medea didn't fully believe that the strong man in front of her was harmless until this moment.Although Medea didn't understand what Seleus wanted to do at all.

"That's why I said at the beginning, I'm here to return the treasure, right?" Seeing that he had gained Medea's trust, Seleus lowered his raised hands and moved slightly closer to Medea a few steps. "I'm sorry for the harm caused to you by taking away the Golden Fleece, so I returned the Golden Fleece today."

"I don't think you can forgive me for taking the treasure from you and returning it. In fact, I am ready to be resented by you." Seleus bowed slightly to the princess in front of him, expressed his apology.

"I still don't understand." Medea looked at the man who could defeat the dragon with a complicated expression.Obviously the golden fleece is something precious even to the gods, why can this man send it back so easily?Doesn't it make them look stupid for losing the Golden Fleece and moaning from time to time?

"I just think that no matter what reasons I have, I can't destroy the happiness of others." Seleus's tone was very calm, combined with his behavior of returning the Golden Fleece, this made his words full of convincing strength. "I can indeed convince myself with the entrustment of the gods, 'I snatched the golden fleece under a helpless situation' sounds really impeccable."

"But I always know in my heart that my actions have created misfortune for others. If I cannot eliminate the misfortune I created, then I will never be able to forgive myself." This is the true feeling in the heart of Seleus, a man who is determined to eliminate All unfortunate people have created misfortune for others with their own hands. If they do not try to make up for the misfortune they have created, then they will surely fall into hatred for their past self in the future.

"He really likes to talk beautifully." The lovely Medea puffed up her mouth, and stared at the strange man in front of her with some dissatisfaction.But for some reason, deep in her heart, she felt a little longing for this tall and strong man.

"This is from my heart." Serius replied solemnly.

......

"So, how do I go back now?" Seleus sat on the top floor of the bullpen, staring at the still untimely full moon above his head in a daze.

Seleus, who came out of the temple, suddenly realized this problem. Although he was very grateful to Artemis who did not know where he was going to Colchis, but the one-way ticket for this destination is not home is really annoying. nerve-wracking.

"Apart from the Argo, there are ships in this world that can return to Greece from Colchis, which is known as the end of the world... huh?"

As if in response to returning to Greece, the full moon in the sky lowered beams of light on Seleus twice, and in an instant, Seleus' figure disappeared on Colchis' bullpen.

Calydon, the place where Seleus killed the demon pig, accompanied by the beam of light falling from the full moon, Seleus returned to the position before being sent to Colchis by Artemis.Here, Serius unexpectedly discovered that the goddess of the moon with long snow-white hair was standing not far from him, and she seemed to be very angry.

"Praise you, great moon goddess Artemis..." Seeing the goddess angry, Seleus saluted and praised decisively.But before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the Moon Goddess.

"Selius, as a reward for sending you back, I want you to do something for me." Seleus could hear the suppressed anger in Artemis' words, but from the goddess' words, he could know that He was relieved that the anger wasn't directed at him.

"Of course! Beautiful Lord Artemis, mortal Seleus is happy to help you." Anyway, Lord Moon Goddess helped him twice, and because of his feelings, Celius felt that he should repay the past.

"I want you to go to Arcadia and kill all the guys with the breath of Aphrodite..." Artemis could no longer suppress the anger in his heart when he mentioned the name of a certain god.

Chapter 53 The Maiden's Prayer

"Atalanta? Why is little Atta involved in the matter between me and Serius?" Artemis looked puzzled at Athena with an inexplicable smile on her face.

"Should I say that you are innocent and ignorant of the world? Or are you stupid and hopeless?" Athena felt a little headache when she saw that Artemis still didn't understand what she had said. live on his forehead. "The concubine is also a virgin, so you have to think about it more or less. Do you really want the concubine to speak out?"

"But even if you say that, if I don't understand, I just don't understand." Artemis felt very anxious. This kind of companion who knows everything but keeps silent is really anxious.

"Ah~~" Athena sighed lightly, she has nothing to do with Artemis now. "It's what that shameless guy often does. You must know that."

"You mean...possessed...possessed...possessed?" Athena mentioned 'that shameless guy' Artemis understood Athena's plan in an instant, and her beautiful little face instantly become flushed.

"No, no, no!" The shy Moon Goddess shook her hands excitedly. "This is absolutely not allowed! How could I do the same thing as that shameless guy."

Aphrodite, the god of beauty, was born for a special reason, so her priesthood is mixed with some erotic factors, and she herself enjoys it.But Olympus has only so many male gods, and Aphrodite will always feel bored after a long time.

So in order to keep freshness at all times, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, thought of a way that fits her style very well.As for what method?I can only say that in the mortal world, priests of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, are very popular.

"Why? I don't want to share it with your child? I saw that child admired you, don't you like that child?" Athena was a little surprised. She thought Artemis was so anxious as a virgin goddess. If she wants to fall in love, she probably wouldn't mind sharing it with her favorite child, but the Moon Goddess's resolute attitude is true, so Athena can't understand her brain circuit.

"Actually, it's nothing to share with Atta, it's just that he really just wants to have a relationship..." Artemis bowed her head shyly and nodded her fingers. "Just stay together with Serius every day, hunt together, barbecue together, and hold hands at night to admire the night sky or something..."

"You're fine, but it's too much of a problem for men." Athena glanced at this moon goddess who was innocent and pure in heart, but unexpectedly bold in her attire. "Poor Sirius, I probably have already seen the scene where he was driven crazy by you."

"I don't believe it!" Artemis glared at Athena dissatisfied.

"But even so, Atalanta is still an indispensable part." Athena ignored Artemis who was a little emotional. "Her existence can help you block the women who are attracted by him before you can repair your relationship with that child of Seleus. After all, that child is a hero that even the Moon Goddess is tempted. Isn't it?"

"You're right!" Artemis stood up. "I'm going to see Atalanta right now..."
