[“I don’t hate you. On the contrary, I have always respected you and regarded you as a trustworthy elder.”]

【"Yeah?"】

[Athena chuckled lightly, not knowing whether she believed it or not.]

[Then, he asked another fatal question. ]

"So, what about Hephaestus?"

[“Is that so?”]

So, what about Hephaestus?

Is it the same as well?

Athena's problem is that she kills people and hurts their souls.

Lin Yi didn't know how to answer.

Especially after the birthday party, Lin Yi, who had already noticed Hephaestus's thoughts, didn't know what to say.

Do you like Hephaestus?

Probably like it.

After all, who would be willing to hurt the heart of a goddess who helps you wholeheartedly?

But the problem is, Lin Yi knew that he was destined not to stay in this simulation for long.

The life of a mortal is only a hundred years. Even a demigod cannot resist the power of time.

Only by becoming an immortal god can one live forever.

Just like Hercules who later became Hercules.

But Hercules is a demigod, with the qualifications and potential to become a god, while I am just a mortal.

mortal..................

Can I become a god too?

As if seeing through Lin Yi's thoughts, Athena's light voice came.

"If I could find a way to keep you company with Hephaestus for a long time, would you be willing, little Zoe?"

"Don't doubt that I'm lying. Hephaestus can't do it, and the other gods can't do it, but that doesn't mean I can't do it!"

"At least, it's okay for you to stay with Hephaestus for a few hundred more years."

When I looked up, I saw Athena's delicate and beautiful face.

Lin Yi couldn't see through the emotions hidden in her eyes, nor could he guess what this goddess was thinking.

She was like an experienced fisherman, skillfully casting out her bait and waiting for Lin Yi, the fish in the water, to take the bait.

Lin Yi couldn't be sure whether agreeing to Athena was a good thing or a bad thing.

But he couldn't say no.

Hephaestus's smile appeared in his mind, and the oath made under the starry sky that day seemed to still echo in his ears.

——Every year from now on, we will be together and gather on the island of Lemnos.

Lin Yi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he no longer hesitated.

This is a conspiracy.

Athena had guessed his thoughts. Even if she made everything clear, he would still fall into this not-so-clever trap.

"I am willing."

Under the gaze of the goddess, Lin Yi gave his answer.

"What do I have to give?"

"It's simple. It's mine."

Athena raised the corners of her mouth and tilted her head slightly.

Even the sun in the sky cannot match her proud and noble posture.

She reached out her hand, gently lifted Lin Yi's chin, and emphasized: "Become something that truly belongs to me! Only belongs to me!"

"In return, I will find a way to give you, little Zoe, a long life. Well, let me think... let's limit it to three hundred years!"

"During these three hundred years, you are free to do whatever you want. I can even help you ask Zeus to marry Hephaestus and personally organize a grand wedding for you. How about that?"

If you want the horse to run, you naturally have to feed it grass.

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, understood this truth.

Besides, she was Hephaestus' friend after all. It was only natural for her to help Hephaestus while making sure that her goal could be accomplished.

This three hundred years time limit was given by Athena to Hephaestus and Lin Yi out of consideration for their past friendship.

After three hundred years, Lin Yi no longer belonged to Hephaestus.

Instead, it has become Athena's treasure alone!

"That's all I ask, little Zoe. Are you willing?"

In fact, Athena knew the answer without Lin Yi's answer.

as predicted.

After a brief thought, the boy accepted the pledge.

"As long as Your Majesty Athena can help me gain a longer life, I am willing to agree to your terms."

"Herein, the oath is established."

The thread of fate binds the two tightly together.

Demonstrating the existence of the oath.

Athena was in a good mood having achieved her goal, and returned happily to her temple.

During the next period of time, she will think carefully about how to help Lin Yi prolong his life.

It would be best if I could extend my life by a few thousand years!

even..................

Why not just find a way to make little Zoe a god!

[Getting the Golden Fleece also means that this journey has reached its end. ]

[On the day you returned with the Flaming Spear, a grand celebration banquet was held on the Argo.]

【This time, you did not refuse to drink with the heroes. 】

【Because of Jason, you reflected on your past wrong views of them. 】

[It cannot be said that this is a wrong view. Most of your judgments are actually very accurate.]

[Heroes do have shortcomings of one kind or another, such as greed, lust, ambition, arrogance...]

[But this only constitutes a part of their personality, and it does not represent the whole. Your view is correct, but it is too one-sided! ]

【Human nature is never as simple as black and white. 】

[Just like Jason, who is so afraid of death, but he dares to face Ares, the god of war, and the fear of death for you, his brother.]

【Just for this reason alone, Jason is beyond reproach. 】

【At least he's been nice enough to you. 】

[You deeply reflected on your mistakes and realized that you had never treated the heroes as equals.]

[I always use the superior perspective of a time traveler, a modern person, to judge the morality and right and wrong of this group of people.]

【This is extremely unreasonable.】

[Since you have come to this era, you have become a part of this era. 】

【What nobleness is this? 】

【You are not so different.】

[The truly arrogant people are never heroes, but................]

【you! 】

【After realizing this, you made changes in time. 】

[In the eyes of Jason and the others, Zoe, who had always seemed out of place, suddenly became real. ]

[It's like I've truly integrated into this world! ]

【Rather than a cold-eyed spectator! 】

[The hero named Zoe becomes vivid and lively, able to cry and laugh. ]

[When he couldn't drink as much as Hercules, he would say that he was not in good condition today. ]

[When he got angry with Jason, he would pick up his flaming spear and chase him from the bow to the stern, beating Jason until he cried for his parents.]

[He would also sing beautiful songs under the moonlight, accompanied by Orpheus, attracting fish and birds.]

[He is the baby that White Wolf Togo found in the forest.]

【He is a man who aspires to be a hero. 】

【He is truly a flawless person. 】

[His reputation is known to everyone, his deeds are spread all over the continent, and people talk about them with great relish. His achievements will be passed down through the ages and engraved in this world.]

[He is an indispensable part of this era, and also the most dazzling star of the entire era! ]

【His name is Zoe.】

【A person who is born weak and pursues life. 】

Amidst laughter and joy, the Argo returned home.

After many twists and turns, the journey of the Golden Fleece finally came to an end.

Also ushered in separation.

Heroes who like lively occasions hate the sadness of parting the most.

In order to let everyone go their separate ways happily, and also to put a perfect end to this great adventure.

Everyone thought that it was time to hold the last banquet!

"Everyone must lie down before leaving today! Yes, I'm talking to you, Zoe! No one will help you block the wine today!"

Jason raised his arms and shouted, and almost everyone agreed.

Anna and Medea, who had been helping Lin Yi block the drinking, rarely said anything this time.

"This is the last banquet."

"Let them have their fun."

Anna's eyes were gently fixed on the young man in the crowd who was constantly being urged to drink and whose face was flushed with drink.

He silently increased the speed of grilling the meat.

Togo squatted aside, waiting for the sizzling skewers of meat in Anna's hand.

It doesn't like drinking very much. Togo would rather enjoy eating than drinking!

Medea assisted Anna on the side. She believed that if one wanted to join Lin Yi's team, one must have some unique skills!

Otherwise, after getting married, will Lin Yi still have to cook for him?

It’s a pity that Medea, who aspires to be a good wife, seems to have no talent in cooking.

She always liked to add some inexplicable magic potion. After Togo took a bite, he fell into coma on the spot and foamed at the mouth.

From then on, Togo never touched the food made by Medea again.

When everyone was having a good time drinking, someone suggested that Lin Yi sing a song, with Orpheus accompanying him.

Orpheus naturally had no objection, after all, he also liked listening to Lin Yi singing.

"Okay! I'll show you my skills today!"
