He was so flustered that he didn't even have time to return the Bow of the Sky to Atalanta.
"Return...you must return it!"
At this point, Jason, who finally understood what kind of gift he had received, had only this one thought in his mind.
This arrow must be returned to the moon goddess Artemis!
Chapter 73 is a danger, but also an opportunity!
Snapped--!
At a stream in the forest, I looked at my own reflection in the clear water.
After a brief silence, there was a crisp sound that startled the Pegasus nearby, and Jason suddenly slapped himself hard!
'What are you doing, Jason?'
At this moment, about ten minutes had passed since the shot that easily shattered the mountain.
And Jason was escaping from the Calydonian boar.
Now I am standing in front of this stream, asking myself this question.
Jason is not a reckless person. On the contrary, he has always been very cautious and careful in everything he does.
Therefore, after calming down, Jason immediately understood that the arrow of the Moon Goddess had not returned... In fact, it could not even be mentioned!
Not only that, starting from today, there are eleven or even more tributes to the gods waiting for him!
"It's okay, Brother Ma... I'm fine."
Jason took a deep breath, then chuckled to the Pegasus who was looking at him worriedly, "But brother Ma, can you leave for a while? I want to take a bath.
You can't just go to see the goddess Hephaestus without any preparation, right?"
After hearing Jason's words, Tianma looked at Jason's clear eyes, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and turned to leave.
After Pegasus left, Jason took off his white clothes and entered the stream.
"It's so cold... But, it's just right."
Having said this, Jason took a deep breath and suddenly immersed his entire body into the stream.
He closed his eyes and began to think seriously.
The arrow of the Moon Goddess cannot be returned...at least not now, because it is a gift given to me by the goddess Artemis in the presence of the gods.
Trouble... This is obviously troublesome, but at the same time, it is also an opportunity!
Because this is absolute power!
Thinking of this, Jason, who had completely calmed down, opened his eyes in the water.
At this moment, Jason had obviously realized what kind of trouble he had gotten himself into... After all, life is not always smooth sailing. Even though Jason was very careful, he obviously overlooked the most important point.
He is not from this world after all.
His underlying vision and values are quite different from those of this world, which is why the current result has occurred.
However, although Jason avoids trouble, it never means that he is afraid of trouble!
Although it was indeed troublesome to hold such terrifying power, Jason instantly realized that the gain was far more substantial than the trouble.
After all, this terrifying power is now under his control!
However, how can he control such a powerful force and minimize the risks... In simple terms, how can he minimize the importance that the gods attach to him?
Jason pondered and soon came up with the answer.
The rules of survival...time for further updates.
Thus, Jason emerged from the water of the stream.
After putting on his clothes, he faced the moonlight, saluted solemnly to the full moon in the sky, and expressed his gratitude for the gift she had bestowed upon him.
In the past, Jason undoubtedly adopted the strategy of avoiding the gods as much as possible, and if he couldn't avoid them, that was another matter.
And now, Jason decided to start and take the initiative to please the gods.
Strive to become a being favored by the gods! ...At least on the surface, you have to become that.
Since you can't beat them, then choose to join.
Jason understood that the only way for him to achieve unlimited growth was to keep pretending to be a well-behaved child in their eyes!
'He's just a mortal, yet he possesses the desire to control everything'... This was Hecate's comment on Jason back then.
And obviously, this evaluation is correct.
"Brother Ma, let's go."
After solemnly expressing his gratitude to the moon goddess Artemis, Jason called back Pegasus with his wet short hair.
Pegasus came over, whinnied twice, and looked at Jason in confusion.
"It's okay." Jason said with a smile: "I'm fine... Oh, by the way, Atalanta's bow is still with me."
Jason said as he took out the black bow handle and the Sky Bow inlaid with golden patterns, then looked at Atalanta and thought for a while.
"Forget it. I'll give it back to her next time I see her. It just so happens that I don't have a good bow to draw arrows from."
Jason shook his head and said this, then he put away the Sky Bow with peace of mind, sat on Pegasus, and embarked on his journey again.
This time, Jason's goal became clearer.
That is to try your best to please the gods with the remaining tributes, so as to gain absolute power!
"Thinking about it this way, I don't know whether I should thank Goddess Athena or..."
Jason shook his head and muttered to himself, "But Goddess Athena probably didn't expect things to turn out like this, otherwise she wouldn't have hurriedly asked Lord Hermes to bring me news about Goddess Hephaestus."
"But even so, after I deal with the matter of Goddess Hephaestus, I must first meet with the prophetic god Prometheus."
So, Jason rode on Pegasus, took the guide given to him by Athena, and flew towards Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, at night.
And make sure to arrive before nightfall tomorrow.
At this moment, in the hunting operation initiated by Meleager, after a brief panic, almost everyone knelt down to express their gratitude to Artemis.
Obviously, the arrow that just destroyed the mountain was regarded by them as a miracle performed by the moon goddess Artemis.
Even Hercules and Meleager thought so... except for one person.
Except for Atalanta, whose bow was taken away by Jason.
While Atalanta was shocked by Jason's arrow, she was also naturally very confused. Why hasn't Jason returned yet?
Atalanta obviously had not considered at all that Jason might take her bow and run away.
......
......
"It looks like the child will be arriving soon, Hephaestus."
Inside the temple, Athena, wearing a pure white dress, said to the big man in front of her with a smile.
"Well, I see."
Hephaestus, a muscular man sitting in a wheelchair, replied to Athena calmly.
"Hmm...are you planning to meet that kid like this?"
Hephaestus did not answer, but just looked at Athena quietly.
"It's no use looking at me like that. It's not like I let it slip. Go find Hermes."
"...I haven't promised yet. I will definitely forge weapons for him."
"But you have a good feeling about that child, right, Hephaestus?" Athena added with a smile, "Because that child... rejected Hera!"
Chapter 3: Endless Wealth, Endless Weapons, Endless Women (k)
"I didn't expect that this time...it would be so smooth?"
The next afternoon, Jason, riding on Pegasus, arrived at the temple of Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen.
The Pegasus whistled softly at Jason and looked at him questioningly, as if to say, "Isn't it good to go smoothly?"
"Of course it's a good thing if it goes smoothly, but how many times have you seen me succeed?"
After Jason replied reluctantly, he stepped forward and was about to knock on the bronze door in front of him under Tianma's sympathetic gaze.
The door suddenly opened, and two maids dressed in exquisite servant clothes slowly walked out.
This maid is not a living person. It should be said that in the entire temple of Hephaestus, there is no one else except Hephaestus.
Like Hecate, this is a doll made by Hephaestus.
"You must be Lord Jason," a maid said to Jason in a cold voice. "Please, Lord Hephaestus has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Mr. Tianma, please follow me." Another maid stepped forward and motioned Tianma to follow her.
After nodding to Pegasus, Jason followed the maid into the temple.
The road was quite deserted. Even though servants walked past Jason from time to time, the entire temple still gave people a lifeless and depressing feeling.
Soon, Jason was brought to a large gate.
The maid stopped in front of the gate and gestured to Jason to come in.
"Is Lord Hephaestus in there?"
In response to Jason's question, the maid did not give an answer, but just shook her head slightly and motioned Jason to go in.
Seeing this, Jason hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and pushing open the door.
Then when Jason walked in, the door closed by itself.
But Jason didn't care, because when he walked in, he was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.
Several treasure mountains...real treasure mountains!
The entire room was completely illuminated by gold, silver and jewelry, and it appeared before Jason's eyes like a treasure mountain described in various myths.
Just as Jason was stunned by what he saw.
Another maid who had been waiting for him for a long time came over. This maid was dressed extremely gorgeously, like a truly noble princess.
"Lord Jason, right?" The maid came to Jason, saluted him mechanically, and then pointed to the treasure mountain in front of them and said, "As you can see, this is the wealth of the world piled up here.
Lord Hephaestus has decreed that Lord Jason may take as much as he wishes."
"I can take as much as I want." Jason couldn't help but turn his head and stare at the maid blankly when he heard this.
"Yes," the maid replied in a cold voice, "Hephaestus also said that no matter how much you take, she will never blame you."
...What do you mean, is this a test?
Jason came back to his senses from the shock and frowned slightly when he heard the maid's words.
Then he looked at the exquisite maid who was looking at him without any emotion in her eyes, and then looked at the countless wealth in front of him.
Jason couldn't help but hesitate.
When Jason hesitated, the maid spoke again, "Hephaestus has promised you, she has pledged her great name to you that no matter how much you take, she will never blame you, even if you take it all."
Hearing the words spoken by the maid again, Jason, who was silent and thoughtful, chose to step forward.
He took a gem from the mountain of treasures that filled the entire room before him.
"All right."
Jason put away the jewel and signaled to the maid that he had taken it.
Seeing this, the maid, who was obviously a machine, couldn't help but blink at Jason before saying, "Master Jason, are you sure?"
"Yes." Jason nodded and said with a smile: "One gem is enough."
Regardless of whether this was a test or not, it was obvious that Jason knew that taking more was definitely unwise, but the maid emphasized twice that it was okay to take.
If you don't take it, it may make the gods unhappy.
So Jason took a gem.
