Chapter 49: Become Something That Belongs To Me! (Please Subscribe!)
[A promise between little Zoe and Artemis?]
[Hephaestus pricked up his ears quietly, as did Athena, and even the other gods showed interest.]
[This is a big news!]
[Hermes, Hestia, and Nyx, who saw the truth, looked at each other and could see the gossip fire burning in each other's eyes~!]
[The drama of three goddesses fighting for the favor of a mortal is not seen every year!]
[To be precise, this is the first time in thousands of years. ]
[If Hermes didn't finish eating this melon, he would probably slap himself hard in the face when he woke up in the middle of the night for the next ten thousand years!]
["Of course I remember, Your Majesty Artemis, you asked me to change Atalanta's fate, right?"]
[You didn't notice the gunpowder smell between the three goddesses, mainly because except for Hephaestus, who was cold-faced but warm-hearted, the other two were too good at hiding their thoughts.
[Even the innocent Artemis instinctively used her previous image to cover up her true thoughts. ]
[Not to mention you, even Medea, who was eavesdropping in the back, didn't notice anything unusual, just thought it was a test from Miss Luna. ]
[It's not uncommon for gods to give trials to mortals, isn't it?]
[Especially for heroes, it's commonplace. ]
[Except for a few gods, no one present, including you, could have imagined that Artemis jumped out because she was jealous. ]
["That's right! But I want to add a condition!"]
[The silly Miss Luna swung her index finger. Her cute appearance was not annoying, but cute, just like a child asking for snacks from an adult: I helped you today, you can't deny it, little Zoe?"]
["Just tell me what the conditions are. I have never broken my promise. What I say is counted. ]
[Today, Artemis is the first to stand up to defend you. You have to acknowledge this favor. ]
[Don't say that Miss Luna only added one condition. Even if there are three more, you will find a way to complete them. ]
[Repay a drop of water with a spring. ]
[This is one of your principles in dealing with people. ]
["Then I want you to celebrate my birthday for me! And it has to be on the day when the hunt begins!"]
[After thinking for a while, Artemis added: "You have to satisfy me! If not, continue next year!"]
[From a perspective you can't see, Miss Luna is proud of her wit. ]
[Satisfied or not, isn't it her decision?]
[Artemis has made up her mind that even if she is really satisfied, she will never give a "satisfied" evaluation!]
[And she will not give a "satisfied" evaluation every birthday in the future.]
[Artemis wants to use this method to tie you to her side, and you have to accompany her every year and celebrate her birthday!]
["I remember it. "]
[You naturally don't know Artemis's "evil" thoughts, you just think it's a very ordinary test, so you nod and agree.]
[Seeing that her request was met, Artemis left with Apollo contentedly.]
[The other gods said hello to you and said goodbye.]
[Only the goddess Nyx pulled Medea to whisper something, but seeing Medea's reluctant look, you guessed it was not a good thing.]
[In the end, the only one left was Athena, who left but suddenly came back.]
["Your Majesty Athena, do you have anything else to say?"]
["Are you chasing me away, Zoe?"]
[Athena raised her lips and said with a little distress: "I have been helping you all the time, why do you always treat me with indifference? Could it be that...… Little Zoe, do you hate me?"]
[As she spoke, the goddess came closer.]
[The tip of her nose almost touched yours.]
[Jason, who was very smart, quickly covered his eyes with one hand and held Hercules and the others with the other hand, dragging away these annoying light bulbs.]
[Although Medea was very reluctant, she thought of her master's warning, and was a little afraid of Athena, so she followed Togo silently and left the village.]
[It was that resentful expression, which made her look like the husband of a clerk whose wife was r***d by his boss in a neon movie.]
[She looked pitiful, but she dared not speak out to keep her job.]
[Because she was so close, you could even smell the faint fragrance coming from Athena.]
[The smell was very nice, as cool as the wind blowing through the mountain stream, strong but not pungent.]
[If ordinary people were favored by Athena, they would have lost themselves and become ecstatic.]
[But you are different. You always maintain some basic defense against this goddess of wisdom. ]
[She calmly took two steps back, distanced herself from him, and answered this fatal question with a normal expression. ]
["I don't hate you. On the contrary, I have always respected you and regarded you as a trustworthy elder."]
["Really?"]
[Athena chuckled in disbelief, and it was unclear whether she believed it or not. ]
[Then, she asked another fatal question. ]
["Then, what about Hephaestus?"]
["Is it the same?"]
So, what about Hephaestus?
Is it the same?
Athena's question was both murderous and heartbreaking.
Alex didn't know how to answer.
Especially after the birthday party, Alex, who had already noticed Hephaestus's thoughts, didn't know what to say.
Do you like Hephaestus?
Probably.
After all, who would be willing to hurt a goddess who helps him wholeheartedly?
But the problem is that Alex knows that he is destined not to stay in this simulation for long.
The life of a mortal is only a hundred years, even a demigod cannot resist the power of time.
Only by becoming an immortal god can one live forever.
Just like Hercules who later became Hercules.
But Hercules was originally a demigod, with the qualifications and potential to become a god, and I am just a mortal.
rɅ....
Can I become a god too?
As if seeing through Alex thoughts [Athena's light voice came. [014501225 Filo 124590070]
"If I have a way to let you accompany Hephaestus for a long time, little Zoe, are you willing?"
"Don't doubt that I am lying. Hephaestus can't do it, and other gods can't do it, but it doesn't mean that I can't do it either!"
"At least, it's okay to let you accompany Hephaestus for a few hundred more years."
Looking up, what came into view was the delicate and beautiful face of Athena.
Alex couldn't see through the emotions hidden in her eyes, nor could he guess what the goddess was thinking.
She was like an experienced fisherman, skillfully throwing out her bait, waiting for Alex, the fish in the water, to take the bait.
Alex couldn't be sure whether agreeing to Athena was a good thing or a bad thing.
But he couldn't refuse.
Hephaestus's smile emerged in his mind, and the oath under the starry sky that day seemed to still echo in his ears.
------Every year from now on, we will be together and gather on the island of Lemnos.
Alex closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had no hesitation.
This was an open plot.
Athena had figured out his thoughts, and even if everything was made clear, he would still fall into this not-so-clever trap.
"I do."
Under the gaze of the goddess, Alex gave his answer.
"What do I need to pay?"
"It's simple, become something that belongs to me."
Athena raised the corners of her mouth and raised her head slightly.
Her proud and noble posture was even better than the sun in the sky.
She reached out her hand, gently lifted Alex chin, and emphasized: "Become something that truly belongs to me! Only belongs to me!"
"In return, I will find a way to give you, little Zoe, a long life. Well, let me think about it... Then let's limit it to three hundred years!
"In these three hundred years, you are free and can do whatever you want. I can even help you ask Zeus to marry Hephaestus, and personally organize a grand wedding for you, how about it?"
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it with grass.
Athena, the goddess of wisdom, understands this truth.
And she is a friend of Hephaestus anyway. It is natural for her to help Hephaestus while ensuring that her goal can be achieved.
This three hundred years is the time given by Athena to Hephaestus and Alex for the sake of their past friendship.
After three hundred years, Alex will no longer belong to Hephaestus.
Instead, he will become Athena's treasure alone!
"That's all I ask for, little Zoe, are you willing?"
In fact, Athena knew the answer without Alex answer.
As expected.
After a brief thought, the boy accepted the oath.
"As long as Your Majesty Athena can help me get a longer life, I am willing to agree to your conditions."
"Here, the oath is established."
The thread of fate tightly binds the two of them.
It shows the existence of the oath.
Athena, who had achieved her goal, was in a good mood and happily returned to her temple.
In the following period of time, she had to think carefully about how to help Alex prolong his life.
It would be best if he could prolong his life by thousands of years!
Or even.
Just find a way to make little Zoe a god!
[Getting the Golden Fleece also means that this journey has reached its end. ]
[The day you returned with the flaming spear, a grand celebration banquet was held on the Argo. ]
[This time, you did not refuse to drink with the heroes. ]
[Because of Jason, you reflected on your past wrong views of them. ]
[It can't be said to be a wrong view. Most of your judgments are actually very accurate. ]
[Heroes do have various shortcomings, such as greed for money, lust, arrogance, arrogance... J
-------*
[But this only constitutes a part of their personality, and it does not represent all of them. Your view is correct, but it is too one-sided! ]
[Human nature is never as simple as black and white. ]
[Just like Jason, who was so afraid of death, but dared to face Ares, the god of war, and the fear of death for you, his brother. ]
[Just for this point, Jason is a great man. ]
[At least he was very kind to you. ]
[You reflected deeply on your mistakes and realized that you had never treated the heroes on an equal footing. ]
[You always judged the morality and right and wrong of this group of people from the high and mighty perspective of a time traveler and a modern person. ]
[This is extremely unreasonable. ]
[Since you have come to this era, you have become a part of this era. ]
[What's so noble about that? ]
[You are not much different. ]
[The truly arrogant people have never been heroes, but...]
[You! ]
[After realizing this, you made a change in time. ]
[In the eyes of Jason and the others, Zoe, who had always been a bit out of place, suddenly became real. ]
[It's like he has truly integrated into this world!]
[Instead of being a cold-eyed spectator!]
[The hero named Zoe has become lively and lively, and every song will make people laugh.]
[When he can't drink as much as Hercules, he will say that he is not in a good state today.]
[When he gets angry with Jason, he will pick up a flaming spear and chase him from the bow to the stern, making Jason cry for his parents. ]
[He will also sing beautiful songs under the moonlight, accompanied by Orpheus, to attract fish and birds. ]
[He is the baby that the white wolf Togo found in the forest. ]
[He is a man who aspires to be a hero. ]
[He is a truly flawless man. ]
[His reputation is known to everyone, his deeds spread throughout the continent, and people talk about them with relish. His achievements will be passed down through the ages and engraved in this world. ]
[He is an indispensable part of this era, and the most dazzling star of the entire era!]
[His name is Zoe. ]
[A person who is born weak and pursues life. ]
Amidst laughter and joy, the Argo returned.
After many twists and turns, the journey of the Golden Fleece finally came to an end.
It also ushered in separation.
Heroes who like to be lively hate the sadness of parting the most.
In order to let everyone go their separate ways happily, and to draw a perfect end to this great adventure.
Everyone thought that they should hold the last banquet!
"Everyone must lie down today! Yes, I'm talking about you, Zoe! No one will help you block the wine today!"
Jason raised his arms and shouted, and almost everyone agreed.
Anna and Medea, who had always helped Alex block the wine, rarely said anything this time.
"This is the last banquet."
"Let them make enough noise."
Anna's eyes were softly watching the young man in the crowd who was constantly urged to drink and his face was red.
In his hands, he silently increased the speed of grilling meat.
Togo squatted aside, waiting for the sizzling meat skewers in Anna's hands.
It doesn't like drinking much.
Togo prefers eating to drinking! Medea assisted Anna.
She thought that if she wanted to join Alex team, she had to have some special skills! Otherwise, after getting married, would Alex have to cook for her? Unfortunately, Medea, who was determined to be a good wife, didn't seem to have any talent in cooking.
She always liked to add some inexplicable magic potions.
Togo fell unconscious on the spot after taking a bite, and foamed at the mouth.
Since then, Togo never touched the food made by Medea again.
When they drank to their heart's content, someone suggested that Alex sing a song and Orpheus accompany him.
Orpheus naturally had no objection, after all, he also liked to listen to Alex singing. "Okay! I'll show you my skills today!"
Alex was not stage-frightened.
It wasn't his first time anyway.
He walked to the bow naturally.
As Orpheus played the harp in his hand, Alex also opened his throat and began to sing.
This time, he sang a song he heard on the road.
It is said that the locals often use this song to bid farewell to their friends.
Alex followed the local customs and used this song as the end of his journey.
The song floated in the tranquil sea, and the bright moon climbed to the surface of the sea, casting millions of gentle lights.
Fish jumped out of the water, and birds circled silently.
The world was silent, only the young man sang emotionally.
Atalanta sat at the highest point of the mast, holding a pot of wine and drank it all.
Goodbye.
Friends.
The girl whispered in her heart, only to herself.
