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

At this moment, when he finally heard these words from Artemis, Nuoyan's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Then, when he couldn't help laughing, he suddenly found something on his face. He turned his head subconsciously and saw Athena beside him.

Her beautiful golden eyes reflected Nuoyan's figure under the moonlight.

And with her scallion-white fingers, she gently poked Nuoyan's tender cheek.

When Nuoyan finally turned his head and looked at him.

Under Nuoyan's doubtful eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and a sense of uneasiness emerged in his heart.

Athena cutely blinked at Nuoyan,

and the corners of her mouth rose a little bit!

... No, this wise goddess, what do you want to do again!

Chapter 37 Hera: Nuoyan, that child, must have been waiting for me?

In the depths of the silent ancient forest, beside the clear pond.

At Artemis' request, Nuoyan sat on the boulder again, his fingers gently dancing on the silver harp, playing the quiet music that was like a spring caressing the soul and cleansing the body and mind.

And the long night of tonight came to an end.

When the next day dawned, the sun god Helios drove the sun's chariot, alternating the night with the night goddess Nyx, and shining the dawn of dawn on the world.

The goddess of wisdom Athena and the moon goddess Artemis had already left, and only a brand new golden apple was quietly placed next to Nuoyan.

So far, this hunting sacrifice tonight finally ended with Nuoyan's victory.

And he also fulfilled his promise to Clotho, the goddess of fate, in exchange for the redemption of Actaeon, who had turned into a monster, with "revenge".

Promised the moon goddess Artemis the gift of Calydon hunting.

In this way, the matter should end. The Heroic Legend column of the Heroic Class Card can add another brilliant chapter, and the quality of the Heroic can be improved again, right?

However, not yet.

Because of a word from the goddess of wisdom Athena yesterday, this story has been continued again.

"No, you seek revenge from Actaeon, and exchange the victory of this sacrificial hunting tonight for the gift of Calydonian wild boar hunting.

But because of this, the person who completes the hunt can no longer be your friend Meleager, but you.

Now only you can complete the hunt under the witness of Artemis!"

The goddess of wisdom naturally remembers her oath with the boy.

Because of the painting that No, Athena will witness No to become the most dazzling star of this era, and after that, give No a shocking end to the whole world.

But the prerequisite for the end is that No is already the dazzling star of this era.

So the purpose of her saying this is obvious, that is, to let Nuoyan get the honor of hunting the Calydonian boar.

But the problem is, how can a weak boy complete the hunting of the Calydonian boar, a monster as tall as a hill?

Nuoyan put down the harp in his hand,

and looked at Atalanta, who had fallen asleep against a tree at some point last night, and Actaeon, who had also fallen asleep beside a stone and turned into a giant deer monster.

Nuoyan smiled,

and gently got down from the stone and put away the golden apple that Athena left for him.

Although he had not slept all night, because he had eaten the golden apple last night, Nuoyan's eyes were now bright and he did not feel tired at all. After a little tidying up and trying his best not to make any noise, Nuoyan prepared to leave this place quietly.

Who knew that he had just walked past Atalanta.

"Where are you going?" Leaning against the tree, Atalanta opened her holy blue eyes, and looked at Nuoyan with her arms around her chest.

Seeing Atalanta wake up, Nuoyan couldn't help but blink, and then thought that she knew everything last night, so she didn't hide it and answered: "Go to see the old river god Asopus... The goddess of wisdom told me that he can help me complete the hunt for the Calydonian boar!"

Yes, this is also the new oracle left by the goddess of wisdom Athena for Nuoyan.

And the old river god Asopus is actually not unfamiliar. He was the old river god Asopus who chased Zeus, who turned into an eagle and took his daughter Aegina away, and was eventually struck by lightning by the angry Zeus and became lame.

The weak Nuoyan obviously didn't have the strength to hunt the Calydonian boar. After all, the monster was as tall as a hill. In the original legend, Meleager summoned a large number of heroes to successfully defeat it.

Hercules, Theseus, and Jason, they all participated in the hunting of the Calydonian boar in the legend.

Hearing this, Atalanta thought for a moment and asked Nuoyan: "Why don't you go and meet Meleager and the others first... The hunting sacrifice last night ended because of you, but they don't know about it, so they must still feel confused now, right?"

"No." Nuoyan shook his head and replied: "If Meleager knew that I asked for the gift from the goddess Artemis, he would feel guilty about it, and he might not let me leave, and he would not watch me take risks... I don't want to be tied up by him and sent to Teacher Chiron."

Hearing this, Atalanta naturally thought of Nuoyan's revenge last night, so she couldn't help laughing.

Then he stood up, pulled up his light yellow hair that fell on his body, and said, "What on earth did you do to make them unwilling to take you down the mountain?"

"Well...it's actually nothing." After thinking about it, because it wasn't something that couldn't be said, Nuoyan answered calmly: "It's just that I want to be a hero."

Atalanta nodded, she already understood this very clearly.

"And my dream is to die vigorously on the road to becoming a hero, leaving a magnificent legend and letting the world sing my story!"

"...You say it again?" Atalanta opened her eyes wide and looked at the promise with an expression on her face, wondering if I had heard it wrong.

"Why do you all react like this?" Nuo Yan was speechless when he saw this.

He remembered that Athena had the same reaction.

Atalanta was silent for a while...

"What you said is true. Isn't it for power, wealth or women?"

"No interest, I just want to be a hero and die spectacularly!"

Seeing the promise in front of her that didn't look like a lie at all, and seemed a little excited when she said it, Atalanta couldn't help but slap her forehead.

"I suddenly understand why that guy turned into a monster and came to you at all costs last night." As she said this, Atalanta looked at Actaeon who was still sleeping beside her.

Actaeon slept deeply. After all, he had never felt so at ease since he turned into this giant deer.

"You're right, let's just leave like this. If you go back to your friend, I will probably help him tie you up the mountain and send you to your teacher."

Atalanta said, picked up the bow and arrow, and passed by Nuoyan.

After walking a few steps, seeing that Nuoyan didn't follow, he turned around and looked at him with a frown, and said, "Why are you still standing there?"

"Well, no..." Nuoyan hesitated for a while, looked at Atalanta doubtfully and said, "Are you planning to come with me?"

"I am supervising you on behalf of the goddess Artemis!" Hearing this, Atalanta showed an irritated expression and said, "Although I have no interest at all, you have to take me and that guy with you. Let's go find the Golden Fleece...it doesn't matter if you die.

But if I can't fulfill the promise I made with the goddess Artemis, then I can't accept it! "

After saying that, Atalanta deliberately looked at the promise in front of her again...

Although he is indeed much more pleasing to the eye than other men, and he is more like a hero than ordinary people, he even dares to resist the fate predicted by the goddess of fate.

But...it's just too weak!

At this moment, Atalanta fully understood the feelings of Centaur Sage Chiron and Meleager when they looked at the promise.

I really don't dare to let this guy run around in this dangerous God's Age continent where gods are everywhere and demigods and monsters are as numerous as dogs.

Not to mention that this guy is still thinking about how to die heroically!

When Nuoyan heard this, he originally wanted to persuade Atalanta that it was not necessary, but he saw that the more Atalanta looked at him, the sharper and firmer her eyes became.

As she became more and more attracted to Teacher Chiron, Meleager, Hercules and the others, in order to prevent her from suddenly losing her mind, she tied herself up and sent her to Meleager and the others. go.

In the end, Promise wisely kept her mouth shut.

"Pfft... Little Atta seems to care about Little Promise. Apart from Little Promise, I haven't seen her care so much about any boy!"

Gently stroking the golden-horned deer beside her, Artemis looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a slight smile, and her eyes flickered, as if she suddenly discovered something particularly interesting. generally.

"Oh, by the way, Athena, why did you leave the golden apple for Little Promise?" As she said that, Artemis turned her head and looked at Athena beside her.

"And it's not just you, the goddess of fate Clotho, and Themis..." Artemis tilted her head and looked at Themis who was quiet beside her.

"Why did you all give him the golden apple?"

"Looking at him, aren't you worried that he will be blown to the underworld by a gust of wind accidentally?" Athena replied to Artemis helplessly after hearing this.

"By the way, I don't have many golden apples left. I'll go to Hera and ask for some in a while."

Themis, who was silent, nodded in agreement when she heard this.

"That's it..." Artemis looked at the promise again, nodded in agreement: "It seems that it will really be blown to the underworld by a gust of wind, so I will prepare golden apples next time... ..By the way, Athena, don’t you think we still need a god here?”

Artemis said, winking at Athena.

"Who?" Athena was stunned for a moment.

"The goddess that the child believes in, Hera!"

now,

Inside the Holy Mountain of Olympus.

"Hey, who is talking about me?"

Hera, the queen of the Olympian gods and the goddess in charge of marriage, raised her head in confusion and looked outside the divine realm.

But he quickly looked back and continued browsing the candidates in his hands.

"Forget it, never mind, hurry up and find a suitable goddess to send to that Hades guy. After all, that lovely child of Promise must still be somewhere, waiting for me!"

Chapter 38: Hit on the head by the goddess of fate (4.5k)

"Are they not back yet?"

At noon, the red-haired young man Meleager came to the gate of the town and asked the guard who had been watching here.

The two guards guarding here looked at each other, then shook their heads at Meleager, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, we have been guarding here since last night according to your orders, and we have not even blinked during this period, so we are very sure that they have not returned."

Meleager did not say anything after hearing this, but looked at the lazy hunters on the side. After noticing Meleager's gaze, they all shook their heads at him, indicating that there was indeed no sign of Nuoyan and Atalanta so far.

"Why haven't you come back yet? What's going on?" Someone couldn't help but complain, "I want to know what happened last night!" "Yes, yes." Someone immediately echoed, "The hunting ceremony was going well yesterday. We were almost killing the monster, but it was suddenly called off." "It's okay to call it off, but the most important thing is that the nymph who suddenly ran out actually said that the hunt was over, and the one who won and met the beautiful goddess Artemis still kept the promise!" "Hey, keep your voice down, he was appointed by the Queen Hera Messenger...”

“What about the messenger of Queen Hera? I can understand that, but you said he could hunt down that monster. Isn’t that just ridiculous? You have seen him with your own eyes. He couldn’t even pull the bow in my hand!”

“Be quiet!” Meleager, frowning, suddenly raised his voice and shouted to the noisy hunters: “What are you questioning? Are you questioning my friend’s promise or the great goddess Artemis?!”

As soon as Meleager finished speaking, the scene immediately became quiet.

But soon, a hunter who was traveling with him that night couldn't help but say to Meleager: "Meleager, I just feel unbalanced for you. We all saw your bravery last night. No one dared to stand in front of the monster except you.

You summoned us to hunt the monster, and it was all going to succeed, but what happened?

The glory was taken away by that guy who did nothing, and he was so weak that he had no chance of defeating the monster!"

"That's right."

"That's right."

Just as such condemnations became more and more, Meleager, who was trembling with anger, came to the hunter.

"Uncle Tox, you are humiliating me, and my best friend?!" Meleager said angrily to the hunter.

His name is Tox, Meleager's uncle, and one of the two people who snatched the skin of the Calydonian boar from Atalanta in the future and died in Meleager's hands.

At the same time, he was also one of the people who came to Nuoyan with a proud attitude the night before, wanting to get the Golden Fleece ticket from Nuoyan.

"Meleager, what are you talking about?" Tox looked at Meleager in surprise and said, "I am trying to restore your honor, because all this should belong to you..."

"No need!" Meleager said loudly to Tox, "Because that is not my honor at all, it is Nuoyan's... What kind of person is he? I know better than anyone here. Yes, he is indeed weak, but even so, he is more heroic than everyone here, including me!"

"I never doubted whether he hunted down that Monster, I'm waiting for him here, just worried about whether he is too seriously injured! "

"Meleager!" Tox was so angry that his whole body trembled, pointing at him and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, and don't forget what you promised your father.

The mission you are carrying!"

Hearing this, Meleager was silent for a while, but finally raised his head and answered firmly: "After I go back, I will tell my father everything truthfully.

And even without the gift of the goddess Artemis, I will stand in front of that huge monster and protect my country! "
