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

The maid was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, Lord Jason. Then please follow me, Jason."

After saying this, the maid turned around and led Jason out of the room full of jewels, stopping at another door and motioning Jason to continue.

So Jason opened the door in front of him again.

This time, what appeared before Jason was an arsenal... an arsenal filled with countless swords, spears, shields, and various other items crafted by Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen!

"Greetings, honorable Jason."

Soon, another maid who had been waiting for a long time came to Jason.

This one is different from the previous maid who looked like a princess. She is a female warrior who is full of wildness and makes people subconsciously want to conquer her.

The female warrior maid saluted Jason, pointed at everything in front of her, and said to Jason: "As you can see, all of these are weapons made by Lord Hephaestus himself.

Any one of them is a rare treasure in the world.

An ordinary mortal only needs to obtain one to gain the power to slay ferocious beasts and become a hero that everyone admires.

And now... they are for you, Lord Jason, to choose from!"

"And the great Hephaestus, by order, promises you in her great name that you can choose whatever you want, or even take everything. No matter what choice you make, she will never blame you!"

After saying that, the maid walked to the front and placed the space bag that she had prepared, which was the same type of silver bag that Athena had given him that day, in front of Jason.

After his last experience, Jason didn't stay stunned for too long this time.

Then he stepped forward and found a pitch-black longbow from it.

After trying it out for a bit, he put it away and said to the maid with a smile, "I've already chosen it."

The maid was silent for a while.

"Are you sure?" the maid asked calmly, "These are weapons made by Lord Hephaestus himself, and they are rare artifacts outside.

Are you sure you want to just choose one bow and be done with it?"

"Yes." Jason nodded, "Because I need a bow... and only a bow."

The maid looked at Jason for a moment.

"I understand, Lord Jason. Please continue to follow me."

So the maid led the way again, and brought Jason to a big door, and motioned Jason to push the door open and go in.

When Jason pushed open the third door and went in, what appeared before him was a scene of beautiful women in beautiful clothes playing and fighting.

Loli, mature woman, beautiful lady, pure, charming, flat-chested, big-breasted girls... Looking around, there are hundreds of beauties with different styles.

At this moment, they were all looking at Jason who walked in with curious eyes.

Just when Jason was stunned and shocked.

Another maid came to Jason.

This maid is a queen wearing a crown.

"Hello, Lord Jason." The maid saluted, gestured to the beauty in front of her, and said to Jason calmly: "As you can see, this is a puppet created by the great Lord Hephaestus after examining the world's aesthetics.

I believe Lord Jason has also heard the story of Pandora.

Therefore, Lord Hephaestus said that these beings are by no means comparable to the puppets in the Temple of Hecate."

After saying this, the maid stepped forward, grabbed Jason's hand, and placed it on her plump chest. Then, she said to the stunned Jason, "We were created by the great Hephaestus. Although we have no life, we are as if we have life. Therefore, we can satisfy all your desires, Master Jason."

After saying this, the maid let go of Jason's hand, took a step back, and gestured to the various and absolutely useful puppets in front of her, saying, "Now, the conditions remain the same.

Hephaestus made you promise in his great name that you can still choose at will, or even take them all away.

Including the ones we've shown you along the way."

After saying this, the maid who looked like the queen grabbed the hem of her clothes and bowed gracefully to Jason.

And this time, Jason answered quite quickly.

"No, no need!"

The maid looked up at Jason, who was shaking his head frantically, and after a moment of silence, she said, “Are you sure, Lord Jason?

We are objects, and quite convenient objects at that.

There are even matching doll storage bags, so you can take us out and use us whenever you need us, without having to put us in the bag."

"No, really no!"

Jason shook his head and spoke to the maid with great determination.

What a joke!

Although very heart-warming...

But Jason said that based on his own values, he really couldn't play with such advanced stuff!

The maid looked straight at Jason for a long moment before she nodded and said, "Is that so? I understand. Then, Lord Jason, please follow me."

Jason looked at the maid who turned around and said so.

Jason didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he seemed to think that the maid doll that looked like the queen was very disappointed...

This time, after the maid took Jason out of the room, she came to the two gates.

"Well then, this is the last door you need to open, Master Jason."

The maid who looked like the queen stopped and gestured to Jason towards the two doors, saying, “Through the door on the left, you will meet the great Lord Hephaestus, and through the door on the right, you will meet the great Goddess Hephaestus.

Hephaestus has given you the right to choose... So, Lord Jason, which great god of Hephaestus would you like to meet?"

......Is there such a thing?

Listening to the words of the maid who looked like the queen, I looked at the two doors in front of me.

Jason's face was full of strangeness.

Chapter 3: Power, Honor, and Beauty (k)

So, which door should you choose to enter?

Jason stood in front of the door, without being silent or hesitating for too long, he stepped forward and pushed open the door of the goddess Hephaestus.

It was originally very simple, because Jason simply considered which of the male god and the goddess was more beneficial to him.

After referring to how goddesses such as Hestia, Athena, Demeter, etc. usually take care of themselves, Jason naturally and decisively chose the goddess.

Moreover, the wise gods had actually given him hints long ago.

Hermes emphasized to Jason that Hephaestus was a goddess, and even explained to Jason why Hephaestus was a goddess.

Athena also made it clear to Jason that Hephaestus was a completely different goddess from Artemis.

Although Jason didn't quite understand the reason, the goddess of wisdom Athena and the cunning Hermes both reminded Jason of this.

Jason naturally knew what choice he should make.

So when he pushed open the door on the right, he saw the god sitting in the temple hall, waiting for him for a long time.

Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen.

Their eyes met, and Hephaestus's face was reflected in Jason's eyes.

But only half.

That half had a face as delicate as a goddess, while the other half was covered by a pitch-black mask.

The eyes are amber in color.

Hephaestus sat in the exquisite wheelchair, wearing very plain clothes, a simple white dress that was not even as exquisite as the clothes worn by the maids outside.

"You surprise me, kid."

Hephaestus said softly, her voice was very pleasant.

"Wealth, power, beauty... none of these are what you pursue."

Is this really a test? Jason couldn't help but think so upon hearing this.

"No, that's not a test... I'm different from Athena. I don't have that kind of interest." Hephaestus seemed to see through Jason's thoughts. He shook his head gently and said, "I said it's for you, and it's for you."

Because Jason's soul contains the power of Hades and is tempered by the eternal fire of the underworld, no one can read his thoughts through Jason's soul.

"...Eh." Jason blinked.

"Do you regret it, child?"

Hephaestus asked calmly.

"No, not at all." Jason shook his head and said, "Since I have made my choice, I will not regret it. It's just... I don't understand. This should be the first time I meet you, Lord Hephaestus."

Plan before you act... Jason has always been like this.

Although it was indeed the first time she met Hephaestus, Athena had already told Jason.

Hephaestus is the most difficult goddess to deal with, but also the easiest to deal with.

Also referring to the known stories about Hephaestus.

Jason naturally got an answer.

When facing Hephaestus, you must never lie to him!

Even though Jason's thoughts could not be read by anyone at this moment, if it were Hephaestus, who had seen too many lies and deceptions, she would probably be able to see it at a glance.

On the contrary, as long as you treat others sincerely, you will gain goodwill!

Hephaestus listened to Jason's answer and looked at him in surprise for a moment before continuing, "Because I knew about you a long time ago and have been paying attention to you.

The reason is very simple, you should already know about the conflict between me and Hera."

"So I have to admit, when I learned that you actually rejected Hera and made her lose face in front of the gods, I was very happy."

When Hephaestus said this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Obviously, he recalled the time when Hera was humiliated in the temple because of Jason and was furious.

However, when Jason heard this, he seemed extremely embarrassed and even couldn't help covering his face.

Because Jason actually didn't want to offend Hera, to be more precise, he didn't want to offend any god.

But the problem is that if he wants to reconcile with Hera immediately, Jason can't think of any other way except leaving Hecate.

However, this does not mean that Jason has not considered how to solve Hera's problem. On the contrary, he has actually already got the answer.

The solution, in fact, is to simply refer to the story of Hercules and the future god of wine Dionysus, and you will know what to do.

Because they were all Zeus's illegitimate children, they were persecuted by Hera throughout their lives, but in the end they were reconciled, and it was even Hera who took the initiative to reconcile.

The reason is very simple, because in the future they will all become immortals, and they themselves possess extremely impressive strength!

So the power of oneself, the immortal identity.

To put it bluntly, it is the best solution except Hecate!

It was for this reason that Jason accepted Artemis's arrow and worked harder to pursue immortality.

While Jason was thinking about this, Hephaestus continued to say to Jason: "It is obvious that the better you perform in your future life after rejecting Hera, the angrier Hera will be."

"The angrier she gets, the happier I am."

"So even though this is the first time we've met, I'm still willing to give you the treasure... I just didn't expect that the things most people in the world pursue aren't actually what you want."

"Child, can you tell me what it is that you want?"

Hephaestus looked at Jason curiously. Although she had no intention of testing Jason, after Jason rejected all the temptations in front of him, she obviously became curious about the boy in front of her.

At the same time, Hephaestus couldn't help but recall the conversation between Athena and her.

"He is very special, different from other children..."

In today's world, there are actually only a few people, or even a few gods, who can see through the real Jason.

Even Jason's godmother, the harvest goddess Demeter, who had been with him for more than half a year, probably didn't understand Jason.

The only ones who truly understood Jason were Chiron, Hecate, Hermes and Athena.

"Endless wealth also represents worldly power."
