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

That's right, Hephaestus doesn't care!

No, I was wrong... I never found the tribute, so I subconsciously mistook her for Teacher Hecate!

At this moment, Jason suddenly woke up.

Hephaestus is different from Teacher Hecate... totally different!

Although Hephaestus and Hecate are both home goddesses, Hecate is a spontaneous homebody and has no interest in anything outside.

The world must have been destroyed, but she was too lazy to come out and take a look!

Although Hephaestus is a homebody, she is one of the main gods of Mount Olympus, and she will respond to any request from heroes and gods!

She was actually looking forward to it...but she had been disappointed so many times that she no longer had any hope for anything.

As Athena said, she... has nothing!

At the same time, at this moment, Jason also understood one thing... Ever since entering this temple, Jason has always felt a sense of incongruity.

And now, Jason finally understood where that sense of disharmony came from.

That sense of incongruity comes from the exquisite dolls that can be seen everywhere in this temple!

Because they are so exquisite, they look just like real people!

This can certainly be said to be the result of Hephaestus's pursuit of perfection, but this is not true, because there are too many, and most importantly.

Each of them is completely different!

Hundreds of completely different puppets were busy in the temple day by day...If Hephaestus really used them as tools, then even if she was too obsessed with perfection, she would not have made each puppet different.

But puppets are puppets after all, even if Hephaestus spent a lot of effort to place them all over the corners of the temple.

But Jason felt it the moment he entered the temple. The temple was completely lifeless. The desolate and oppressive atmosphere made him feel a little uncomfortable...

So it is obvious that she is completely different from Teacher Hecate.

Hephaestus had nothing, but he still had expectations in his heart, but at the same time he had long been accustomed to an existence without results.

So at this moment, Jason suddenly understood what kind of tribute he should offer to Hephaestus that would make her most satisfied.

So that night...

"Jason should have left by now."

Hephaestus thought so when she came out of the forge. When she left the forge and came to the hall, she saw Jason who had been waiting for her for a long time.

Hephaestus was stunned for a moment, then said to Jason: "Why haven't you left yet? ... You shouldn't continue wasting your time here."

"I cannot leave because I have not yet paid tribute to you, Lord Hephaestus."

Hearing this, Hephaestus asked curiously, "Have you thought of anything to offer me?"

"No." Jason shook his head in denial without any hesitation.

"......"

Hephaestus was speechless, frowning at Jason.

"Goddess Hephaestus, I cannot offer you anything right now, for I know full well that none of it will satisfy you."

Jason whispered to Hephaestus, "You are not interested in treasures, weapons, or the gifts from other gods in my hands.

Therefore, Goddess Hephaestus, I hope you can promise me one thing."

"Go ahead." Hephaestus said calmly, "I will agree to anything I can do."

"Then, Goddess Hephaestus, from today on, I hope... you can accept me as your apprentice!"

When Jason told this seriously, Hephaestus was stunned.

Then, after reacting, he looked at Jason with a slightly surprised expression.

Obviously, this was an answer she had never thought of.

"What did you just...say?"

"Goddess Hephaestus, I hope you will accept me as your disciple."

Jason remained serious, and said word by word to Hephaestus, who opened his eyes wide, "And teach me your forging skills!"

Hephaestus is the god of craftsmen. She can build almost anything, but there is one thing that she has tried hard but cannot build.

That is the ethereal emotion... Even as the God of Craftsmen, she alone cannot reproduce the miracle of Pandora.

Therefore, what is given to her, like Artemis, should not be given in kind.

But the contradictory point here is that Hephaestus is the goddess of craftsmen, so the tribute offered to her should be as exquisite as possible.

Therefore, Jason actually thought about popularizing some knowledge about Hephaestus' future and creating something that did not exist in this world to satisfy Hephaestus.

But I always felt something was wrong, and it didn't match the oracle given by Athena, so I kept hesitating.

And now... he has found the answer.

"...Are you sure?" Hephaestus opened his amber eyes wide and looked at Jason: "Are you really sure...you want me to be your teacher?!"

"Yes." Jason nodded and said seriously, "And I also hope that when I have learned enough and will not disgrace the name of your student, Goddess Hephaestus,

This is the first item I made... I hope you can accept it, Teacher! "

PS: I have to complain about one thing. Today, someone suddenly sent me a private message on QQ and asked me to manage the comment section, saying that the comment section was a mess... To be honest, I haven't read the comment section for a long time.

Since this book was first published not long ago, several comments were deleted and banned.

After that, I was criticized by people, so I used a small account to criticize them again, and I never watched it again. You can do whatever you want.

I have a very sensitive heart, really a very sensitive heart. If I read the comments and there are any comments about me, I will definitely feel unhappy and it will even affect my writing, so I am too lazy to read them later.

This book was not written in the style of a commercial article, and the result is just ok to me.

After all, it is not difficult for me to write a book that sells around 30 or 40 books.

And to be honest, this is actually a niche text, and its collection is only about 2.5 now. Many fate texts of the same period have about to collections.

This book originally appeared because I have a strong interest in mythological stories. In addition, when I was writing a business article for a certain Lu, the overly formulaic writing style almost made me lose interest in writing, so I picked it up.

To put it bluntly, it is just to satisfy my own writing, and I just pursue the happiness of writing.

So I don’t bother to care about the comment section, just let it be.

And today I wrote over 10,000 words, please give me some monthly votes, don't let it get pushed down the monthly vote list in the last one or two days, it will be embarrassing. (Note: I don't charge for the above words)

Chapter 4: Offering tribute to the goddess Hephaestus who has nothing (k)

Hephaestus was surprised by Jason's offer to become his disciple, and his first reaction was naturally to refuse.

However, when she heard Jason express his hope that she would accept him as his apprentice and accept the first item he made.

Hephaestus understood...

"Become my disciple, and then present me with the first item you've ever made... This is the tribute you're prepared to offer me, right?"

Facing Hephaestus who looked directly at him with his amber eyes and spoke to him, Jason nodded without hiding anything.

Because Jason knew that he had to explain this matter clearly in order to have a chance to become Hephaestus's student.

And this is indeed the answer Jason got after careful consideration!

"As I just said, I don't have anything in my hands right now to offer to you, Goddess Hephaestus."

Jason continued to say to Hephaestus: "Therefore, I can only put the tribute aside for the future... But how can I offer a satisfactory tribute to you, the god of craftsmen?

Since you are the god of craftsmen, it is obvious that I should offer as tribute the objects built by my own hands.

But I am just a mortal, how can I possibly make a tribute that will satisfy Goddess Hephaestus?"

Hearing Jason say this, Hephaestus couldn't help but look at Jason with surprise. She already knew what Jason was going to say.

"So after a week of reflection, I've finally arrived at my answer... I'll become your student, and then offer you the item I'll create in the future that lives up to your reputation, Goddess Hephaestus!"

Jason looked directly at Hephaestus, his eyes showing no falsehood.

And this is indeed one of the solutions that Jason came up with.

However, in addition to the above reasons, there is another reason, and that reason is the real reason why Jason chose this method.

It's just that reason that Jason would never reveal.

That is to offer care to the goddess who has nothing...

"I have already said."

After a period of silence, Hephaestus softly said to Jason, "There's no need to waste your time with me... I've already given you the bracelet that can block Hera's perception."

"You have no interest in wealth, weapons, or even puppets. Then you obviously have nothing to gain from me. Why force yourself to stay?"

"I don't take tribute seriously..."

"Then consider this as my willfulness."

Jason smiled and said to Hephaestus who was looking at him: “Because Goddess Hephaestus, I have decided, I—Jason!

I will definitely offer you a tribute that will satisfy you!"

".......Satisfy me?" Hephaestus couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

That half of the goddess's face revealed an extremely beautiful smile.

Then, he smiled and said to Jason: "I am Hephaestus, and all the artifacts in the world and the magnificent palace of Mount Olympus are created by me.

Even if I agree to accept you as my student, are you really sure that you can make a tribute that satisfies me?"

"Yes Goddess Hephaestus, I am sure."

Jason said to Hephaestus seriously, “Because if a few months won’t work, then a few years will.

If a few years doesn’t work, then it will take hundreds of years!

I will spend my entire life believing that one day, I will offer a tribute to you, the goddess Hephaestus, that will satisfy you!"

When Hephaestus heard this, she subconsciously clenched the handle of her wheelchair...

"Are you...really sure?" Hephaestus said softly, his amber eyes staring at Jason in front of him.

"Are you really sure you want to take me as your master? ...If I agree, there will be no chance of you regretting it."

"Why would I regret it, Goddess Hephaestus?"

Jason smiled and said, "It is my greatest honor to be your student and learn your blacksmithing skills!"

This statement is true.

It was obvious that the forging skills displayed by Hephaestus had impressed Jason as soon as he entered the temple.

Therefore, if Jason could really learn something from her, even if it was just a little bit, it would benefit Jason for the rest of his life!

Jason did hate the gods.

But that dislike is not disgust.

It's just that I hate and dislike the trouble.

After all, in this world, the appearance of gods almost means trouble.

Otherwise, Jason would not have hugged the goddess Hecate's thighs and called him "teacher" so affectionately that Hecate couldn't get rid of him even if she wanted to.

In the end, he became the evil disciple that made Hecate so angry that her teeth itched.

The benefits of becoming Hecate's disciple are obvious to all.

So, are there any benefits to becoming Hephaestus's disciple? ...How could there not be any benefits?

This is the God of Craftsmen, the god in the current world who is most likely to create weapons of the same level as those in the hands of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon!

Jason knew it after seeing the arsenal that filled an entire room that day, and all of them could be considered an artifact room.

Hephaestus is a thigh... a, absolutely, absolutely a thigh!

"Honor... Do you really think so?"
