Type-Moon Greece, I really don't want to be a hero!

It's Artemis, the moon goddess.

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

Because the person who appeared before Jason with the Sphinx, although not Artemis, was still an acquaintance of Jason, and Jason still owed her something...

That’s right, it’s related to Artemis. Jason still owes someone something to deal with. Who else could it be except Atalanta, Artemis’ most loyal follower?

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

Bathed in moonlight, Atalanta, a hunter dressed in beautiful emerald green clothes, looked at Jason and her eyes narrowed slightly.

Those beautiful emerald eyes revealed a dangerous aura at this moment, as if... locking onto prey!

"Well, long time no see Atalanta."

Jason showed a slightly embarrassed but polite smile and said, "What a coincidence! I was just about to look for you. Ouch..."

As soon as Jason spoke, his head was gently tapped by a silver branch floating beside him, obviously telling Jason not to lie.

Atalanta was slightly stunned when she saw this, and then she seemed to understand something, and her eyes looked at Jason even more unfriendly.

Just when the atmosphere between the two was becoming a little awkward and Pegasus was watching the show with his head down eating grass, the Sphinx, who didn't know how to choose the right time, jumped out.

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

"......snort."

Atalanta clasped her hands in front of her, snorted softly and turned her head away, her long light yellow hair swaying slightly in the night breeze.

As for Atalanta's cold attitude again, Jason, who was obviously in the wrong this time, could only rub his nose and admit defeat!

Who made Jason run away with someone else's bow, and he didn't even think about returning it? Jason felt that he would be angry too!

"Forget it. Whether you recognize me or not has nothing to do with me."

After looking at the two of them for a while, Sphinx shook his head and said, "But since you two know each other, it's perfect.

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

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

If you answer wrong, I will eat you!"

"He has nothing to do with me. I answer mine and he answers his!" Atalanta said to the Sphinx indifferently: "Ask now..."

"and many more!"

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

Atalanta glared at Jason who said this to her, and her angry look made her look as if she was about to bite him...but in fact, it was just an appearance.

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

But it was obviously a good thing at the moment, so Jason didn't think about it any further.

Then his eyes rolled, and Jason, who had caught Atalanta, turned to the Sphinx and said, “My Lord Sphinx, may I ask you a question? ... How long do we have to think about your riddle before we answer it?

For example, if you tell us now, we can discuss it and give you an answer tomorrow morning, okay?"

"can."

Perhaps because Jason's attitude was so good, the Sphinx nodded and said, "I can give you this much time.

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

Now, listen to my riddle:

What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? And when it has the most legs, it also walks the slowest and has the least energy!

.....Remember this, you only have one night. If you can't answer tomorrow morning, I will eat you!"

The Sphinx spoke confidently, obviously very confident in his riddle, thinking that Jason and Atalanta would not be able to guess it.

As she smelled the riddle it gave, Atalanta frowned, obviously having not thought of the answer.

Then Atalanta looked at Jason naturally and found that Jason was looking at the Sphinx with a slightly strange look.

Atalanta was slightly stunned.

This guy...already knows the answer?

As Atalanta was thinking this, Jason came to his senses and nodded slightly to the Sphinx. He said, "I understand, Lord Sphinx. We will return before sunrise tomorrow to answer your riddle."

After saying this, Jason took Atalanta away.

Tianma followed quietly.

The two of them came to a quiet place in the woods, and Jason let go of Atalanta.

Before Atalanta could say anything, Jason immediately put his hands together and said to Atalanta sincerely, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Atalanta!

And this is your Sky Bow, I hope you can forgive me!"

Atalanta looked at Jason in surprise, obviously not expecting him to admit his mistake so decisively.

Because Atalanta had actually seen quite a few heroes who had clearly done something wrong but would never admit their mistakes for the sake of face.

Although Jason always said that he was not a hero and would never become a hero, Atalanta had also heard Jason say these words.

But in Atalanta's heart, even if she would not admit it, she also regarded Jason as a hero... and the hero that best fits her imagination.

"I really needed your bow at that time, so I took it away, because at that time, apart from your bow, Atalanta, I really had no way to shoot the gift given to me by the great moon goddess Artemis.

As for my side of the story...Atalanta, you know something about it too.

So I’m really sorry!”

Be proactive in admitting your mistakes and be sincere!

Atalanta looked at Jason who was apologizing to her in silence for a while, and reached out to pick up the Bow of the Sky.

After Atalanta took the Bow of the Sky, Jason looked up at Atalanta, who was stroking the Bow of the Sky and no longer looking at himself.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously, "Um...Atalanta, have you forgiven me?"

Atalanta glanced at Jason and 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, on that night in Calydon, Jason shot the silver arrow that killed the Calydonian boar under the moonlight.

Atalanta was the only one who knew about it.

And although she had complained to the moon goddess Artemis about Jason taking her bow and running away, when Artemis told Jason about it that day, she did not ask Jason when he would return the bow.

Because Atalanta did not ask Artemis, the moon goddess, to retrieve the bow for her.

After all, just as Jason said, Atalanta knew about Jason...The encounter three years ago, and the encounter three years later, this ill-fated fate made Atalanta vaguely understand how heavy the oracle Jason was carrying.

Therefore, Atalanta actually acquiesced to lending the Bow of the Sky to Jason...At the same time, this was also Atalanta's apology to Jason, to atone for her unreasonable treatment of Jason in the past.

Of course, Atalanta would never tell Jason these, nor would she admit them!

And Atalanta wasn't without anger. What made her most angry was actually Jason's departure without saying goodbye...

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

Hearing Atalanta's words, Jason couldn't help but look at Atalanta in surprise. She was holding a bow and changing the subject. He really wanted to ask her if she was the Atalanta he knew.

After all, Jason felt that Atalanta should have rushed over and started fighting with him now...

"Oh, yes, I remember, Atalanta swore to Artemis that she would never fight with me again."

Jason thought about this, looked dazed, and then nodded to Atalanta.

Atalanta frowned slightly and looked at Jason and said, "If that's the case, why didn't you just tell me the answer?"

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

So I want you to discuss and prepare first."

Atalanta was slightly stunned when she heard this, then looked at Jason and said, "You mean, even if we give the correct answer, it won't admit it?"

"We can't rule out this possibility... but it's actually quite easy to resolve. When answering questions, we'll swear an oath to the great moon goddess Artemis and ask Artemis to testify to our fairness. She probably won't refuse.

I think it's quite confident in its riddle."

Atalanta listened to Jason's words and did not respond, but secretly clicked her tongue... because she had not yet thought of the answer.

Therefore, looking at Jason in front of her, she felt a certain sense of frustration.

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

But this is not Atalanta's fault, because Jason knew the answer to the riddle by cheating.

Although Jason did not know the story of the Sphinx, he was impressed by the riddle.

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

What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? When it has the most legs, it also walks the slowest and has the least strength...

The answer is people!

Morning corresponds to the baby crawling and walking.

Noon corresponds to middle age, walking while standing.

The evening corresponds to old age, walking with a cane.

Of course, Atalanta didn't know all this. She thought Jason was so smart that he would know the answer as soon as he heard it.

"So what we need to guard against isn't this, but whether it will become enraged and attack us after we answer the riddle! ...By the way, Atalanta, why are you here?"

This place is not near the city of Thebes, but Atalanta is from Arcadia, a natural paradise.

Therefore, Jason really didn't expect to meet Atalanta here.

Atalanta was silent for a moment, because it wasn't a question that couldn't be answered, so she said, "Actually, I was on my way to the Kingdom of Corinth and passed by here."

"The Kingdom of Corinth...why are you going there?"

Jason blinked, feeling somewhat confused, because he inexplicably felt that he had some impression of the name of this kingdom.

"Because the Kingdom of Corinth is holding an impossible trial where you have to push a huge rock to the top of a mountain and leave your name on the mountain, many heroes are rushing there now..."
