A frail body, but an arrogant soul whose head can be seen at a glance.
Unexpectedly, this is what that person meant by best friend.
But it doesn’t matter.
Jason stood up excitedly and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's me!"
"Very well, your friend Sisyphus has offended me, and now I will have you and him accept the punishment of the gods."
Very good!
My friend Sisyphus conquered the Moon Goddess, so now he and Sisyphus can receive the protection of the gods!
Right?
It doesn't seem right...
Did he hear it wrong?
Jason thought sadly that he didn't seem to have heard wrong.
But how can this be done?
After a moment of silence, Jason said bitterly, "Lord Moon God, is it too late for me to tell you that I've only known Sisyphus for a while?"
"Yeah, Jason and I have only known each other for a while."
Russell's voice sounded a little lonely.
Artemis could see through this "clumsy trick".
"Your best friend is really a coward."
Jason was dumbfounded.
At this time, Asclepius stood up and asked, "Aunt, Sisyphus is also my friend. How could he have offended you so much?"
"..."
It’s hard to say why I’m offended.
As a virgin goddess, if she told this matter, it would definitely damage her reputation.
Artemis thought for a moment and looked troubled.
Russell also explained at the right time: "I was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and agreed to compete with the Moon God in archery."
"Yes, that's it."
Artemis, who thought this was a good reason, nodded at this time.
Jason's eyes lit up at this moment.
The wisdom in desperate situations gradually revived at this time.
Rather than accepting the punishment that is doomed to happen, taking a chance seems to be a better approach.
With this in mind, Jason quickly suggested, "Lady Artemis, Sisyphus is not arrogant. He is the best archer among Chiron's disciples."
Chiron......
Artemis had also heard of this name.
There was a great war, and Zeus replaced the sky god Kronos and obtained the Crown of Kronos, the proof of dominance.
Chiron was the son of Cronus and Philula, the island goddess.
Moreover, Chiron himself has a good reputation because he is one of the few great sages who is proficient in various technologies.
Unexpectedly, this man named Sisyphus was actually Chiron's best archery disciple.
Seeing Artemis pondering, Jason quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Why not give Sisyphus a chance? Let him have the honor of competing with the goddess in archery, and test his archery skills. If he fails, it won't be too late to punish him."
There is no need to punish me.
Jason added silently in his mind, but didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
Russell also admired in his heart - Well done, Jason!
He is indeed a man who has wisdom only in desperate situations.
The cooperation between him and me is so smooth.
Artemis was somewhat reluctant. Direct punishment would have been fine, but now she had to add another "trial".
However, she thought about it again and felt that although Russell was a little strange, it was impossible for him to defeat her in archery.
This trial is just a formality.
In addition, he had just agreed with Russell's statement on how to offend, and Apollo's son was also beside him, so it was not easy to change his words.
"I can indeed send down trials. But..."
Looking at Jason who made the suggestion, Artemis used her divine power to pull an apple, placed it on his head, and said coldly.
"I'll have you carry this apple on your head and run across a mountain range... No! Two mountain ranges! The moment you stop, I'll shoot that apple off your head!"
Shoot the apples from above your head across two mountain ranges.
This is a feat that is difficult for mortals to accomplish.
Jason's body trembled at the thought of this.
But he still gritted his teeth, didn't say anything more, and ran outside.
Jason had no intention of taking this opportunity to escape. In Greece, how could you want to run away after offending the gods?
"Sisyphus, you're really going to kill me this time!"
"..."
Looking at Jason running away at a good pace, Artemis nodded with satisfaction.
For an average person, it may not take long to run across the two mountains.
But for a hero like Jason who has studied the running technique and often runs and hunts under Chiron, it actually doesn't take long.
At this time, she looked at Russell with a calm expression and asked.
"What? Aren't you worried about your friend getting shot?"
"I trust the archery of the goddess Artemis."
The light compliment made Artemis raise her head proudly.
However, she did not give up her questioning and continued, "My archery skills are undoubtedly beyond doubt, but you have to be careful when you aim at your friend later."
During the conversation, Jason had already run beyond the two mountains and was trying to stand steadily in the same place.
Without any hesitation, Artemis picked up the bow and arrow, and after a moment of aiming, she shot the arrow.
The apple above his head fell to the ground, pierced by the arrow's sharp edge, and carried straight to the top of the tree trunk.
Jason himself fainted on the ground.
I'm sorry, Sisyphus, it's not that I don't believe in your archery.
But I still think it's better to be careful.
I'd better pretend to be unconscious first and stop being your target.
"useless."
Looking at Jason who had fainted on the ground in the distance, Artemis frowned slightly, summoned a doe, and let the deer run to the outside of the two mountains with the apple on its head.
"It's your turn."
When the doe ran to the distance between two mountains, Russell also drew his bow and put an arrow.
This kind of fixed target is too simple for someone with clairvoyance.
It is based on the physical and five sense enhancements brought by the microcosm, and its limit is the infinite vision brought by clairvoyance.
After taking aim, Russell hesitated for a moment and then put down the bow.
Seeing this, Artemis asked in confusion, "Just give up?"
"No, there's life in that doe's belly, and I'm worried about hurting it."
Russell gave a brief explanation and then added.
"I don't want to take that risk."
A rare kind guy.
This kind of guy was rare in Greece, and Artemis was a little moved, but then she said, "Are you saying that I am not merciful enough to issue such an order?"
"That's not the case. The moon is the most gentle star I have ever seen, and its light is the softest I have ever come into contact with."
Russell said this as Artemis looked on.
"As the Moon God, you are kind and forgiving."
Is this guy trying to use this kind of words to block my reason for punishing him?
Artemis felt a little uncomfortable, but felt that it would be unbecoming to take action.
This is also a concept that only good gods would have.
"Are you asking for my forgiveness?"
This is natural.
Replace the offending behavior first, then demonstrate strength.
Hearing this, Russell suddenly changed the direction of the arrow and shot it.
As Artemis watched, the arrow passed through two mountains and hit the tree trunk where the apple was pierced.
The end of the arrow was hit by the new arrow, and the original arrow broke into two pieces.
The original holes in the apple were also occupied by new arrows.
Artemis was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "The archery competition isn't over yet..."
This wasn't the only thing she could do, but she had misjudged the limits of human endurance.
Today, it would be ungraceful to continue to argue.
"From now on, my arrows will always be aimed at you until this archery competition is completely over."
----------
ps. I felt so tired when I returned to the dormitory at around 8 o'clock last night. I just wanted to take a nap and then start writing.
I didn’t expect to sleep until after four o’clock. I’ll code these for now and just treat them as yesterday’s.
I'll continue writing as it's for today.
barley
9. You are right, but...
"You're done. My aunt is obsessed with you."
Asclepius' tone remained calm, but Russell heard a hint of mockery in his words.
“Maybe from now on, even when I’m eating, an arrow will fly at me from some inexplicable angle.”
"Friends should share joys and sorrows, so I decided to eat with you all from now on."
Russell said this after glancing at Asclepius who still had no expression on his face.
As a result, Asclepius's momentum declined at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It will greatly affect the progress of medical treatment."
“Sisyphus!!!”
Jason's cry, miserable and filled with anger, came from afar.
He ran up to Russell and Asclepius, and said to Russell with a distorted expression, "Do you know that I almost died? You drag me down with you when you encounter such danger. Who do you think I am?"
"Isn't he the great captain who possesses wisdom in desperate situations, who will surely reclaim the throne in the future, who will gather great heroes to sail together, and who can always turn danger into safety?"
Facing Jason's anger, Russell did not take it seriously and just said so.
