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

Some dark butterflies flying in the same area exchanged positions and appeared in front of Chimera as if teleporting.

As for the comprehensive strengthening magic, at Jason's strong request, when Hecate engraved it, improving Jason's attributes was just a by-product, and the real strengthening was actually... the staff!

then,

boom!

There was a loud bang.

The staff hit Chimera's head hard, like a thousand-pound blow, causing Chimera's head to sink deep into the ground, blood spilled all over the ground, and it was deader than dead.

The evidence was the goat body of the Chimera, which had been struggling violently and screaming silently, and the python tail, which suddenly opened its eyes wide at the same time, and then fell down with their eyes open in death.

Pegasus sensed Chimera's death and flew down from the sky.

He looked at the miserable Chimera lying on the ground, and then at Jason who was retreating cautiously, holding a ball of eternal fire of the underworld in his hand, eager to try and whip the corpse.

"Hiss—!"

Seeing this, the Pegasus hurriedly kicked its legs a few times and cried out that it was dead. There was no need to die if it really was!

“Wheesh—!”

Besides, it’s just a fight with a Chimera, what’s the big deal?

"What do you know."

Jason, who still had some trust in Pegasus, withdrew the Eternal Flame and replied to Pegasus seriously, "If you can't hide, then you must fight with all your might and don't try to play the pig and eat the tiger, because you might end up becoming the real pig yourself!"

Tianma rolled his eyes at Jason in a humane way and turned his head away, appearing to be too lazy to pay attention to Jason's remarks.

Chapter 3: Twelve Tributes to the Gods, Twelve Gifts from the Gods (k)

Hopeless.

If Brother Horse could speak, it would definitely sigh like this.

We have been together for more than three years, which is not long, but not short either.

During these three years, Pegasus had seen too many things in Jason's behavior, scenes of him being so cautious that even he, the horse, was speechless!

After Jason confirmed Chimera's death and expressed his deepest gratitude to those in the underworld who had intervened, he expressed his willingness to sacrifice the Chimera on earth as a tribute.

But no one responded, so after waiting for a while, Jason removed the magic circle.

After the battle, Jason's gaze naturally turned to the crowd watching not far away. After a little thought, he turned around and patted Pegasus.

"Brother Ma, let's go."

The Pegasus neighed softly and squatted down, and Jason rode on it.

The Pegasus took off into the air, and the two were about to leave.

"Wait, please wait a moment, this great god!"

A middle-aged, bearded man in silver armor rode over hurriedly. He came to Jason and saluted him, saying, "I am the King of Lycia, great god. On behalf of the people of Lycia, I thank you for killing the monster Chimera. Please allow me to know your noble name!"

Tenma turned his head to look at Jason, obviously asking him what to do.

"Well... Your Majesty, King Lycia, please don't be so. I am not a great god, but merely a mortal."

Jason thought for a moment, then said to the surprised King of Lycia and the warriors who were equally surprised and incredulous when they heard his words from afar: "I have come here only because I received the oracle from the great Fire Goddess Hestia.

Now that Chimera is dead, I have completed the domain of the goddess Hestia. If you want to express gratitude, thank the great goddess Hestia."

After saying this, without waiting for the King of Lycia to say anything else, Jason gently patted the Pegasus on the head. The Pegasus flapped its wings and flew higher and higher under the moonlight.

In the eyes of the people below, he, sitting on the Pegasus, seemed to be returning to the dazzling stars in the sky.

"Isn't this the god, the hero who came here in obedience to the oracle of the great Hestia... Then, great hero, please leave your name!"

cried the King of Lycia.

Not long after he finished speaking, he discovered with some confusion that the hero who seemed to be returning to the stars seemed to be leaving at a faster speed...

"What are you guys still standing there for? Go and catch up!"

Licia was stunned for a moment, then spoke angrily to the followers around her.

Upon hearing this, the people around suddenly came to their senses and chased after him on horseback, shouting at the top of their lungs as they went.

They asked Jason to leave his name and hoped that Jason would come to the Kingdom of Lycia as a guest, and they would definitely treat him with the highest courtesy!

But such chasing and shouting did not make the hero turn back.

Instead, it made Pegasus fly higher and faster.

So in the end, Jason left only his back to the people present.

A hero who fell from the stars, followed the guidance of God to kill the monster Chimera, and then rode a flying Pegasus under the night sky back to the embrace of the stars.

It transformed into the silhouette of a dazzling star in the sky.

Under the moonlight, Hestia, who followed quietly, naturally brought this scene to her mind.

Hiding in the dark, she watched Jason flee in panic amid the loud calls of the crowd below.

Hestia couldn't help but cover her mouth, letting out a secret chuckle, and exclaimed with blinking eyes: "Ah, as expected, little Jason is so special, handsome, and so cute!"

At this moment, Jason was flying higher and higher. Finally, he could no longer hear or see the people chasing him below. He patted his heart with relief.

"Huh, what are you really chasing after? I'm so scared! I even left you the body of Chimera. Can't you just let me go? Am I right, Brother Ma?"

Pegasus tilted his head and glanced at Jason.

Regarding Jason like this, it really... really doesn't know what to say!

Jason ignored Pegasus's silence and continued, "Hey, I didn't expect to use the Underworld Realm. It'll take a month to cool down... Anyway, we finally got rid of the Chimera."

As he spoke, he took out the direction guide from the silver bag in the medicine room, determined the direction of Calydon, and gently patted the Pegasus.

"Brother Ma, let's not rest tonight. Lady Athena only gave me a week. I'll compensate you after we get to Calydon!"

What?

996 overtime again?

Don't do it!

Upon hearing this, Tianma was about to resist.

Jason then took out a cake made of the most delicious grass and various fruits... Well, he had used Tianma as an experimental subject for three years. If he had not offered a decent bribe in the middle, Tianma would have quit long ago!

Making the cake itself is not difficult. In order to please his senior brothers, Jason worked as a chef for a period of time.

As for why the cake appeared, it was naturally to please Medea, Hecate and others.

Who knew that after it was made, Medea and the others had a general reaction to the dessert, but Brother Ma fell in love with it at once.

So when Pegasus saw the cake, his eyes lit up and he swallowed it in one gulp, chirping softly at the same time.

"Well... I'll give you five when we get to Calydon!"

Tianma shook his head, obviously dissatisfied.

"Ten, no more!"

Hearing this, Tianma became happy and flew a little faster.

This made Jason smile secretly.

Although he didn't have the golden reins to drive the Pegasus, he had the 'carrot' in his hand!

So, the deal was happily concluded, and just when Jason thought he could finally rest.

The flying Pegasus suddenly stopped.

"Well, what's wrong, Brother Ma?"

Pegasus turned his head and looked at Jason with pity for a while, then turned sideways and went back in the opposite direction.

"...Wait, wait, Brother Ma!"

Jason opened his eyes wide, "No, no way, didn't we just meet not long ago?!"

The Pegasus neighed softly.

Accept your fate, young man!

So not long after...

"Little Jason!"

After stopping beside a clear spring and waiting for a while, Hestia, who seemed to be in a slightly excited mood, rushed towards Jason. Jason had no choice but to catch her.

"Goddess Hestia, is there anything else you need to tell me? ...As for the Chimera, I have already successfully handled it."

"Yeah, I saw it."

Hestia, who had been close to Jason, smiled and touched him, saying, "As expected of little Jason, you did it beautifully."

"Then I wonder what you are doing, Lady Hestia... Lady Hestia, you know I need to hurry to Calydon, right?"

Jason asked cautiously.

"I know, it's because of Athena, right?...Little Jason is not well behaved." As she said that, Hestia pinched Jason's face.

Under Jason's puzzled gaze, Hestia puffed her lips slightly and said, "I know everything. You sacrificed to Athena, right?"

"...tribute?" Jason was stunned.

Then Jason remembered the harp that was taken away by Athena...after all, it happened just the day before yesterday.

"Yes, Athena even came to show off in front of me!"

As she spoke, Hestia pinched Jason's face again and said to him expectantly, "What about mine...Little Jason, since you prepared tribute for Athena, you must prepare one for me too!"

Hearing this, Jason opened his mouth speechlessly, looking at Hestia who was looking at him expectantly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Athena...just take it if you want. There's nothing wrong with offering it as a tribute. Why are you going to show off to others?

It would be terrible if the gods' expectations were not met!

Jason was well aware of this.

For example, in the case of Calydon, the king of Calydon did not offer sacrifice to Artemis when offering sacrifices to the gods, which made Artemis angry and throw the magic pig away.

For example, in the incident of the bull, one of the twelve trials of Hercules, King Minos of Crete used his cleverness to sacrifice to Poseidon, the god of the sea, and ended up angering Poseidon.

Now, Jason certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to say that the harp was taken away by Athena and was not a sacrificial offering.

But if he acquiesced, he would now have to offer a sacrifice to Hestia... No, it should be more than that.

Jason immediately realized that something was wrong.

Because Athena wouldn't show off to Hestia...

Oh my God, Lady Athena, you haven't even been to Demeter, Artemis, and Apollonia, have you?

Did Athena go? ...At this moment, in the ancient forest not far from Calydon, Athena was sitting before Artemis, the moon goddess.

Using the silver harp in his hand, he played beautiful melodies.

"You must be envious." Athena said to Artemis with a smile, "This is a gift that little Jason carefully prepared for me!"

"A gift from little Jason?" Artemis was stunned for a moment, then put her index finger to her lips and said enviously, "That's great... I want one too."

"Don't worry." Athena smiled. "Little Jason will definitely prepare a gift for you too. If I'm right, Hestia should have already gone to find him."

"Hestia went to find little Jason?...Does that have anything to do with my gift?" Artemis tilted her head.

In response, Athena smiled slightly and did not give any further explanation.

He continued plucking the strings, playing pleasant notes.

Twelve tributes to the gods, twelve...gifts from the gods.

Little Jason, our 'game' has begun.

Whatever tribute you can offer will satisfy them.

How many gifts from God can you gain?

Equal trials have equal rewards... This is Athena's usual style.

Athena muttered to herself, and finally tilted her head to look in Jason's direction, and then the corners of her mouth slowly rose.
