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.
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.
