Type-Moon, I heard that after death, you can ascend to the Throne of Heroes?.

Playing with the promise of the golden apple tree trunk in her hand, she said to Chiron: "The goddess Clotho has helped me a lot so far, but I have never given her a tribute."

Promise had long wanted to give a gift to Clotho, who had helped him many times. He even asked Hecate, the goddess of the road, about this when he was in the underworld.

But the arrogant goddess casually replied and asked Nuoyan to dedicate herself...

"But I have always been troubled by not knowing what to give her, but just now, I suddenly thought of it, and I have a feeling that that cute little goddess will definitely like my gift!"

Chapter 95 The Twelve Trials: The Golden-Antlered Deer and the Three-Headed Dog of Hell! (5.5k)

The God King Zeus has always been paying close attention to Hercules, and the reason is the battle between gods that is about to come soon.

In fact, a long time ago, Zeus knew about Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, from the mouths of the three goddesses of destiny. He also knew that in the near future, he would lead the suppressed Titans to climb out of the abyss and head towards Olympus. The gods declare war!

Clotho, the goddess of fate, peeked into the future and told Zeus that in order to win the battle, a mortal must participate.

So Zeus informed the gods of the existence of Heracles, and said that he would eventually accomplish great things and become one of them.

But it was naturally impossible for Zeus to talk about the battle between gods, so Hera, the queen of heaven, was naturally jealous that her lover's child actually enjoyed such a high honor.

So before Hercules was born, he was full of resentment towards him.

Zeus wanted Hercules to become the king of Mykenae and enjoy the prosperity of the world, so Hera gave birth to her younger brother Eurystheus one step ahead of schedule and seized the throne that should have belonged to Hercules.

As soon as Heracles was born, Hera sent out two venomous snakes to kill him silently.

Later, when Heracles had a happy family and completed impossible trials again and again, he was noticed and praised by the gods.

Furious, Hera cursed him again, causing Heracles to lose his mind. He killed his wife and children with his own hands. Later, he also killed his friends and became a slave for three years.

However, the other gods do not know about the war between gods, but it is impossible for the goddess of wisdom Athena not to know. Her eyes that represent absolute wisdom can see everything in the world.

This is also the reason why Athena did not let the promise come into contact with Hercules in the first place.

At that time, Hera obviously did not dote on Promise in this way. She hated Hercules very deeply, and in addition, the God King Zeus had always paid attention to Hercules.

But now Nuoyan undoubtedly has such qualifications.

At the same time, in front of the pictures of the remaining Olympian gods, the painting of God King Zeus is undoubtedly the most difficult, so...

...

...

"Heracles, your trial has come, and so has your promise." Hermes, holding the feather hat on his head, said to the two people in front of him with a smile.

In two days, Hercules had already bid farewell to Chiron with his promise and headed to Mycanen, preparing to return to his king.

In fact, we could fly back, and it would take about two days at most at the speed of Pegasus, but for some reason Pegasus was extremely resistant to Hercules and refused to let him ride.

Later Nuo Yan learned that Hercules was actually a descendant of Perseus, and Perseus was none other than the ancient Greek hero who beheaded Medusa.

So that afternoon, Hermes appeared in front of them and brought the oracle from the gods.

It was as if the man who was being chased around by the gods a few days ago was not him at all. Hermes, who appeared in front of the two of them, did not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.

Hermes, who had changed into light green casual clothes, with a refreshing smile on his face, said to Nuoyan and Hercules: "Hercules, the trial given to you by the noble Queen Hera is to ask you to go Pistol, subdue those man-eating wild horses."

"As for her promise to you, Hera asked you to capture the golden-antlered deer of the goddess Artemis and Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, brought back to the underworld."

Upon hearing this, Nuoyan's expression suddenly became very strange.

Heracles, who was stunned for a moment, seemed a little excited and said to Hermes: "Wait a minute, shouldn't I be protecting him with Nuo Yan?"

"There are also the golden-horned deer of the goddess Artemis and the three-headed hell dog of the underworld. These are the favored sacred objects of the gods and terrifying monsters... Great Lord Hermes, I am not questioning you. , but is there something wrong with this?”

"Yes, this is the test given to you by Queen Hera, and the great God King Zeus has also agreed..."

Having said this, Hermes glanced at Hercules again and couldn't help but smile: "Also, Hera asked me to pass on a message to you, which is to keep you away from your promises."

"She said she gets annoyed just by looking at you!"

Hearing this, even Hercules was a little dumbfounded.

With the promise aside, he looked thoughtful.

Capturing the golden-horned deer of the moon god and bringing back the three-headed dog of hell from the underworld. This is really the content of the twelve trials of Hercules in myths and legends.

And even in front of Hercules, this is undoubtedly a very difficult task, but for the promise...

"No problem, I will complete the trial given to me by the goddess Hera."

Then, when Nuo Yan nodded in agreement, Heracles was anxious to refuse because this trial sounded too dangerous.

"After all, I haven't seen a golden-antlered deer for a long time."

Nuoyan smiled and said: "There is also Cerberus. I have promised to bring him many honey cakes next time we meet. He must have been waiting for me for a long time, right?"

Huh?

When Hercules heard this, he opened his eyes wide and stared blankly in front of him, not as if he was going to a trial, but as if he was going to make a promise to visit.

"I brought you honey cakes."

Hermes took out a bag of honey biscuits and handed it to Nuoyan. He paused for a moment before continuing: "Athena actually prepared this for you, and she said that the Argonauts will arrive in about three months." It can be completed, so I’ll give you some time to prepare.”

Athena knew about the honey cake. They had seen the painting of the underworld from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Nuoyan was stunned for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't hold it back and said to Hermes: "Dear Lord Hermes, may I ask the goddess Hera and Athena about the current situation? yes......"

"Why, now I am respected. When you led them to chase me a few days ago, why didn't you see that I was respected Hermes?"

Hermes smiled and teased the promise before continuing: "Don't worry, because of my sacrifice, the Queen of Heaven Hera is now more than half angry.

In addition, Athena has been helping to build the Argonauts and prepare for the Golden Fleece recently, so Hera turned a blind eye. "

"But Athena is determined. Even under such circumstances, she has no intention of returning those golden apples, so..."

Having said this, Hermes shrugged his shoulders at the promise.

But the smile on his face and the enthusiasm in his eyes made the guilt that finally surfaced in Nuoyan's heart dissipate in an instant.

That is, it seems that the fight was a little too light a few days ago...

Nuoyan couldn't help but think so.

Naturally, Athena would not return the golden apple. After all, this was an opportunity that she had finally seized and made the golden apple rich.

And if it really comes back, you don't need to think about it to know that Hera will never let Athena get the golden apple again.

"It seems that the journey of the Golden Fleece is coming soon, so I have to speed up my pace." As he said this, he took out the small notebook he was carrying and flipped through it.

The moment he saw the small notebook appear, Hercules, who was about to say something, immediately shut his mouth.

Even Hermes on the side was much more honest now.

The hunting events of the past few days finally made the gods understand that promises are not as harmless as they seem... Although in the eyes of Hera, Demeter, Artemis and others, promises are No matter what he does, he is always so well-behaved.

"That's it, Hercules, we'll see you next time." Putting away the notebook, Nuoyan said to Hercules with a smile.

Now Hera has agreed to the promise, so at that moment, Hercules' fate has actually changed.

The price paid is that Nuoyan participates in the twelve trials and must complete them...but this was originally the purpose of Nuoyan from the beginning.

Hera promised to be so happy at that time, and her face looked helpless with her promise. It was because after such a long time, she had naturally known about Promise's dedication to the hero.

In addition, I have always disliked Hercules, so I took this opportunity to take out the honor that originally belonged to Hercules and give half of it to Nuo Yan.

Standing there on the holy mountain of Olympus.

He retrieved the golden apples from Hermes, held a large banquet, and finally met Zeus' Hera.

When he told this matter, he even joined forces with gods such as Demeter, Artemis, and Apollo to let Zeus share these glory.

To everyone's expectation, Zeus agreed at that time without even a decent protest...

Hercules was not a fool, and he had seen with his own eyes two days ago how much the gods loved promises, and even hunted the main god Hermes for him.

Although later on, everyone enjoyed it.

But even so, Hercules still felt that it was dangerous, so when he wanted to say something.

Promise has already opened the bag containing honey cakes in his hand.

The moment it was opened, a purple butterfly flapped its wings and flew out, and landed skillfully on Nuo Yan's shoulder.

This is none other than the familiar of Hecate, the goddess of the road.

So the next second, the magic circle was activated and appeared at Nuo Yan's feet.

Just like that, he disappeared into the eyes of Hercules who had not fully reacted.

"Okay, don't worry." Hermes stepped forward and patted Hercules on the shoulder, saying: "Although he is so weak that we can fall down with just a breath, but if we really want to say it, he is comparable to You are much safer!"

"And if you want to protect and repay him, there is no chance. Athena is currently working on the big ship. What awaits you next is a long journey."

After saying that, Hermes ignored Hercules and left here.

And on the other side,

When Nuoyan opened his eyes and was somewhat used to such praise, he had already arrived in the underworld, the temple of the goddess Hecate.

The little sun created by magic, as always, illuminates the temple here.

In the temple, Nuoyan, who had just opened his eyes, had not had time to observe the situation around him.

"I say you are really brave, kid."

Hecate's cold voice reached Nuoyan's ears.

"I have only seen you a few times. During this period, you took Persephone to the underworld, provoked Hephaestus, and even hunted Hermes this time!"

Hearing the voice, Nuoyan tilted his head, and Hecate, who was sitting next to him, was reflected in the emerald eyes.

Black long skirt, beautiful hair like the night, and beautiful red eyes, beautiful face.

Probably because Nuoyan had seen it, Hecate was too lazy to wear a veil.

And she was rarely laughing at this time, because Hermes's fun was really interesting, and even Hecate was very happy about it.

The person sitting next to Hecate was Medea, who was holding a staff and wearing a purple magic dress.

She had been very nervous since Nuoyan appeared, and even when Nuoyan looked at her, she lowered her head and dared not look Nuoyan in the eye.

That day, with the help of Hecate, after witnessing Nuoyan's six paintings, Medea not only clearly understood what kind of person Nuoyan was, but also couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.

Nuoyan, who had come back to his senses, looked at Hecate, and then at Medea beside him.

Just as he was about to step forward and greet them, Nuoyan suddenly felt something biting his pants.

He looked down in confusion and saw the three-headed dog of hell that had turned into the size of a normal dog.

At this moment, all three of his heads were looking at Nuoyan, his eyes full of expectation, and he almost barked at him twice.

At the beginning, Nuoyan said that he would give him honey cakes, but he has been waiting until now.

Even for this, even Hermes was bitten!

"Oh, Cerberus, here are the honey cakes I promised you." Nuoyan, who had reacted, naturally reached out to take out the honey cakes in the bag to avoid being bitten.

He fed them piece by piece to the three heads of Cerberus.

During this period, Cerberus' tail was wagging happily until Nuoyan finally found that there was one more honey cake.

Nuoyan, holding the last piece of honey cake in his hand, saw Cerberus suddenly stop all his movements, and the three heads stared at him, even emitting green light.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Athena in his heart.

Even if you can't see it, you have to make something happen. You are worthy of it, Athena!

Nuoyan thought so, then looked at Hecate who was watching the fun on the side, turned his eyes, and said with a smile: "Goddess Hecate, do you want to eat honey cakes?"

After the words fell, the three heads of Cerberus stopped fighting, and looked up, looking at Nuoyan who dared to say this to his mistress with shock on their faces.

After a moment of stunned silence, Hecate appeared in front of Nuoyan in the next second, took out her staff and knocked on his head, saying unhappily: "What do you mean, you want to feed me?"

Hiss!

Nuoyan, holding his head, took a breath of cold air, opened his eyes and said: "It hurts!"

"Of course it hurts, I cast a spell directly on your soul... Do you think I'm Hera, Athena or the others? I'm not interested in being gentle with you."

After saying this unhappily, Hecate took the honey cake from Nuoyan's hand, took a bite and left.
