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

In the laboratory in the underworld, Hecate couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard Jason's prayer, but it was a pity that no one saw this beautiful smile.

Instead, because of this smile, the experiment she was conducting exploded!

On the way, Jason originally wanted to follow Apollo, but Apollo asked Jason to walk side by side with him and told him not to be so fearful, as he had a good relationship with Hecate.

Jason still had a bitter face. He said that he was not in awe, but more afraid. He was afraid that you would show me a big treasure later, my God!

At the same time, because of traveling with Apollo, the gloom of the ancient forest was completely blown away, and even if they walked in the darkest place, the light would illuminate it.

"Are Master Apollo and Teacher Hecate familiar with each other?"

On the way, Jason felt a little uncomfortable because of walking with Apollo, so he chose to talk to relieve his anxiety.

"Well...her mother did me a favor."

Because this matter should not be discussed with others, Apollo, who had a good impression of Jason, still briefly mentioned it.

But when he heard it halfway, he realized that something was wrong. The gossip was going to Hera, the Queen of Heaven and Zeus's legal wife, so Jason naturally shut up.

After briefly telling Jason about his relationship with Hecate, Apollo smiled and asked, "By the way, do you know what you are doing?"

"What?" Jason was slightly stunned.

"Do you know what taking Persephone away this time means?"

"What does it mean?" Jason seemed a little confused.

The meaning? ...Isn't it just to find the goddess Persephone, so that you can temper your soul with the fire of the underworld and learn magic from Hecate?

Sensing Jason's confusion, Apollo smiled and said, "Goddess Demeter didn't hide Persephone this time, she imprisoned her."

"Imprisoned?" Jason sensed something was amiss.

"Persephone has decided to marry Hades, and Demeter imprisoned her because she disagreed... After you take her away this time, she will marry Hades and become the Queen of the Underworld."

Then Apollo finished speaking calmly, and Jason stopped walking. He stared at Apollo blankly, his eyes gradually widening.

No, I haven't heard of this!

Jason is not stupid, because of the amount of information in this sentence, he was a little confused but he reacted instantly!

Queen of the Underworld...There is one more queen in the underworld!

And he brought this Queen of the Underworld with him?!

In addition to being shocked, Jason suddenly realized that by doing this, he would be offending Demeter, one of the twelve gods of Olympus!

Oh my God, if I offend a main god to death, how can I still survive in Greece!

"So your encounter with the goddess before and me now wasn't accidental, but inevitable...and you should probably meet at least one more god next."

Apollo continued, "Because only in this way can you go to Persephone, successfully take Persephone away, and make her the Queen of the Underworld!"

Chapter 16: Apollo's Sword

The brief conversation with Apollo, the god of light, gave Jason a deeper understanding of this journey.

Although Jason had doubts, he thought it was just a test at most. He really didn't expect it to be so big!

So Jason fell silent.

My first reaction was to say goodbye and never see you again!

But in the end it was just a thought, because Jason knew that this time, he had to go. Not to mention that not going was equivalent to failing Hecate's test, without Persephone's help, he would not be able to learn magic from Hecate.

But if I go, I will offend a main god...

After thinking for a while, Jason's shock gradually subsided. After slowly exhaling, he nodded to Apollo and said, "Thank you very much, great God of Light Apollo. I... know what to do."

"Since this is a test given to me by the teacher, I will definitely complete it!"

Even if it offends a main god!

After all, although Jason is cautious and prudent, it doesn’t mean he is a coward!

After weighing the pros and cons of Hecate, Demeter, and his own future for a while, Jason decided to go. He must go!

Apollo didn't know what Jason was thinking, but when he looked at the boy with a determined look in his eyes, admiration flashed in his eyes.

"My child, I see in you the shadow of a future hero." Apollo said, touching Jason's head. "If you encounter difficulties in the future, come to me and I will help you."

Jason opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refute.

I want to say that I will never become a hero, and everything I do is just to change Jason's fate.

But in the end he said nothing.

Then, under the guidance of Apollo, they spent three days and three nights before finally walking out of the ancient forest.

All the dangers encountered along the way were resolved by Apollo one by one.

In fact, Apollo could have taken Jason away from the ancient forest instantly, but he did not do so. Instead, he enjoyed the days of traveling with Jason.

By the way, during these few days, they only set up one tent and the two of them slept in the same tent... although nothing happened.

But after these three days, Jason had dark circles under his eyes.

"It's over..."

Three days later in the afternoon, Apollo, carrying a golden bow and quiver, looked at the wider view outside with a look of regret.

"Yeah, it's over."

Jason, who had a bit of panda eyes, had a look of emotion on his face.

Although Apollo did not touch him at all during these three days, and escorted Jason like a real elder brother.

But Jason knew some mythological stories and happened to know that Apollo didn't even mind male beauty!

It’s too difficult…it’s really too difficult for me.

Jason felt uncomfortable and even wanted to cry.

"Then I'll be leaving... Jason, I've had a great time traveling with you these past few days." Apollo lifted a lock of golden hair from his earlobe and said to Jason with a gentle smile, "Then let's meet again next time."

"Hmm...hmm." Jason smiled slightly stiffly, nodded, and said, "I'm happy too. Lord Apollo, see you next time."

Never see you again, please, never see you again, okay!

So, just when Jason couldn't wait to turn around and leave, Apollo thought about it and suddenly called him.

Then he handed the golden sword hanging on his waist to Jason.

"This journey is dangerous, and you are unarmed... I will lend you this sword for now." Apollo said to Jason with a smile, "With this sword, you will be enveloped in light wherever you go. It will protect you as you continue your journey."

"Lord Apollo, this..."

Jason looked at the sword and his mouth opened wide.

This is the sword of Apollo, the god of light!

Among the twelve Olympian gods, Apollo's sword!

"I'm just borrowing it from you temporarily... Or are you planning to reject me, Apollo, the God of Light?"

"Um... Thank you so much, Lord Apollo, the God of Light!"

After hesitating for a moment, Jason finally bent down and respectfully took Apollo's sword, showing him the highest etiquette!

"Well... go ahead, Jason. I believe in you. You can find Persephone and bring her out successfully."

Apollo nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Jason and said word by word: "Since she has pointed out the way forward for you, I will clear the way for you."

Jason left, carrying Apollo's golden sword and wearing a white robe woven for him by Athena.

"...I really didn't expect you to lend him your sword."

And just as Apollo stood in the distance, watching Jason leave.

As the dark butterflies fluttered in the darkness of the nearby trees, Hecate, wearing a long black dress and waist-length black hair, appeared among them.

"If I remember correctly, that's one of your companion artifacts."

"Even Athena finds him interesting and is so fond of him, so how much more so should I be." Apollo smiled, not surprised by Hecate's appearance. "Not to mention, he's your student... I'm really looking forward to his future."

"He may or may not succeed in getting Persephone out."

"But he has a good chance, doesn't he?" Apollo continued. "Because even Demeter probably wouldn't have expected a mortal to take Persephone away."

"More importantly, since Athena has appeared, that means he will also help secretly, right?"

"Yeah." Hecate replied calmly, and at the same time raised her head and glanced at the sky, as if looking for something. She was looking for the goshawk, but she didn't find it.

"But... why is Hecate his son?" Apollo hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help asking, "Although I have to admit that this child is very good, but... he hasn't grown up!"

"I just went with the flow," Hecate replied. "He happened to be asking Persephone for help, so I sent him there."

"...It's that simple." Apollo was slightly stunned.

"Yeah." Hecate nodded.

Apollo was speechless. He knew that Hecate was different from Athena and did not like to tell riddles, which meant that she was telling the truth.

Apollo thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right. After all, no matter what, with you protecting him, it would be difficult for Demeter to even touch him!"

"But after being washed by the waters of the Styx and tempered by the flames of the Styx, and if we add the Olympian fire... Hecate, are you planning to make this child one of us?"

"Well... I haven't thought about it that much. As for becoming a god, it depends on his own ideas." Hecate replied indifferently.

"..." Apollo was obviously speechless at such an answer.

Then, looking ahead at the direction Jason was leaving, which he could no longer see, he smiled and said, "Anyway, she's next... my sister."

Chapter 17 Jason: I still want to struggle a little longer

Jason felt that he needed to change his mindset.

If a person wanders around, it is indeed easy to encounter God.

But if more people come, won’t that lower the probability of winning?

Moreover, he was unfamiliar with the place. Even though he had obtained guidance from the goddess and now had Apollo's sword, he could not enter various uninhabited places and would inevitably encounter troubles such as swamps, wild beasts, and monsters.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a new team leader.

With this thought in mind, Jason left the god of light Apollo for a few days. When he passed through a small town on the way, he did not replenish his supplies as usual and left directly.

Instead, he chose to stay in the small town, and one morning, he began to prepare to gather outstanding hunters.

"This money is for you. As long as the hunters you bring are good enough, I swear in the name of the Olympian gods, I will give you double the reward!"

That morning, Jason found some children playing around or passers-by, and used a very clever method to help him find companions.

After spreading the word, he sat down and waited.

With the oath of the gods, everyone naturally believed that Jason would give the money, and Jason was obviously a young nobleman from a wealthy family, so they quickly brought the famous hunter in the town.

And Jason did not lack money. After all, as a former prince, he brought some with him when he came to become a disciple. What's more, Meleager also gave him a lot when he separated from Meleager.

When a lot of hunters came here, Jason asked them who was better and said that he would not let them come in vain. Jason gave some money to all the hunters who came.

After spending some time on this financial offensive, when the sun reached noon, Jason finally built a team of hunters for himself.

And at this moment...

"I also need to go."

A girl whose style did not match that of the big hunter brothers suddenly walked in.

Seeing the girl who was no older than himself walking towards him, Jason couldn't help but be stunned. Even though he had seen several goddesses at this moment, he still felt a little surprised when looking at the one in front of him.

Although she is young, she already has the potential to be a beauty. Even wearing rough hunter clothes, she looks very beautiful. If she dresses up a little, she will definitely be a princess loved by everyone.

It’s a pity that she is carrying a black bow and arrow and has sharp eyes!

But in fact, it was precisely because of this wildness that Jason couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Atalanta, stop messing around."

At this moment, a middle-aged hunter who had already decided to go with Jason frowned and said to her, "Go back quickly, do you hear me?"

"Uncle, why don't you let me go?" Atalanta frowned and said unconvincedly, "I already know that only the best hunters can go with us this time, and I am definitely no worse than anyone here!"

Atalanta's words made many hunters present frown, but no one stood up to refute her because she was telling the truth.
