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

Soon, the final result was not surprising at all. Atalanta won, and won quite easily.

And the hunting competition lasted less than two hours.

Yes, Nuoyan had the help of Pegasus, but when it really started, Nuoyan found that the Pegasus was a burden at all. As soon as it approached, all the prey were scared away immediately.

So without the help of Pegasus, Atalanta instantly felt that this hunting was not a competition at all, but she was bullying people...

So the depressed Atalanta quickly stopped the competition, but because she didn't have enough fun, she asked Nuoyan to ride the Pegasus to race.

But this time Nuoyan didn't agree. After all, what's the point of racing with Atalanta... Nuoyan thought it would be better to wait for a while, and there would be more golden apples in his backpack before talking!

Chapter 54 That is a painting in the night sky that covers the light of the stars and the moon! (8.5k)

"So what are you going to do? You are actually going to ask a country to help you... Are you really going to ask them to help you draw a picture dedicated to the goddess Artemis?"

The next morning, when the sun god Helios brought the sun to the world and illuminated the night, Atalanta, who was walking with Nuoyan on the road to the Kingdom of Calydon, asked Nuoyan with a little tiredness.

After all, she had been making a fuss with Nuoyan last night, and her desires were not satisfied, and she did not rest well.

Nuoyan was very energetic. He was like this every time he ate the golden apple, and he was used to it.

"Well, it is indeed a painting." Nuoyan nodded, and said without hiding anything: "And it is a painting that requires many people to help me to draw.

Because that painting is not painted on the canvas, but outlined on the whole world!"

Hearing this, Atalanta was slightly stunned, and then she subconsciously looked at Nuoyan, and her holy blue eyes reflected Nuoyan at this moment, and then she was surprised to find that at this moment, he looked very similar to when he was determined to catch the silver meteor at the same time.

"It seems that you really don't want to be hunted by the great goddess Artemis." Seeing that Nuoyan was so serious, Atalanta, who knew the whole story, couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Nuoyan rolled his eyes at her unhappily when he heard it.

Nonsense, you don't know the nature of the goddess!

Not only chasing to the underworld, if I don't stop the goddess from hunting, she can run to the future to strangle me along the timeline!

"So what are you going to do specifically?" Atalanta couldn't help but ask Nuoyan out of curiosity.

If someone else said that he would use the world as a canvas, draw a picture on it, and offer it to the goddess, Atalanta would definitely sneer and think that person was just bragging.

But Nuoyan...

Ever since he personally entered the world in Nuoyan's painting that day, and if it weren't for the goddess Artemis who was next to him, he would almost be trapped in it and couldn't get out, Atalanta knew it in his heart.

Nuoyan, this guy, is probably the illegitimate son of the goddess of art... No, in the field of painting, even if the goddess of art came in person, it's hard to say!

The key is that Nuoyan doesn't have much awareness of this... Or maybe because he is so focused on becoming a hero, even if he is aware of this, he doesn't care.

After all, in Nuoyan's mind, no matter how good the painting is, it can't be used as the king's treasure.

Could it be that when there are too many paintings, throwing them out can become a treasure to hit people?

"The first thing to do is to make everyone in the Calydonian Kingdom willing to assist me..."

What Nuoyan didn't expect was that this condition was very easy to meet.

......

Soon,

In the palace of the Calydonian Kingdom,

When Nuoyan and Atalanta arrived here, Calydonian King Oeneus and Queen Althea had already learned the news from Meleager, who had returned earlier, so they had been waiting for a long time.

When the two sides met, they naturally exchanged greetings.

Especially for neglecting Nuoyan two days ago, Calydonian King Oeneus was very remorseful, and even specially asked someone to bring Meleager's uncle, Tox, here to apologize to Nuoyan in front of everyone!

Seeing this, Atalanta and even Meleager beside him felt much better instantly, but Nuoyan himself didn't feel anything about it.

After all, he didn't care about these things, not to mention that he was now focused on how to present the painting to Artemis, so that Artemis would be satisfied and give up hunting for himself.

That painting was the best tribute that Nuoyan could think of at this time.

But even so, Nuoyan was still worried that Artemis would be dissatisfied, and this was why he was ready to drag everyone in the Calydonian Kingdom into the water.

Let them help, by offering tribute to the gods, so that Artemis would completely forget about the Calydonian boar, and even if they were lucky, Artemis would bless them. This was undoubtedly the truth.

But getting more people involved to reduce the probability that Artemis would only focus on him was also Nuoyan's plan.

What's more, the ancient Greek gods were extremely face-conscious. As long as there were enough people involved and the show was big enough, even if you only offered some very ordinary things, there was a high probability that they would be satisfied.

"Dear King Oeneus, thank you for your willingness to listen to my rude request. At the same time, please rest assured that I will not embarrass your people. What I want to do is actually hoping that we can march toward greatness together. tribute to the goddess Artemis.

So I thought it would be a good banquet. "

In terms of etiquette, Chiron's well-taught promises are naturally impeccable. Coupled with the beautiful skin and the artistic atmosphere that naturally exudes, there are countless ladies, princesses, and eldest ladies in the palace at this time. .

They couldn't help but focus on him.

Not only that, but when I think about it, he also received gifts from the moon god Artemis, was favored by the goddess of wisdom Athena, and was even a disciple designated by the Queen Hera.

So not only women, but also many handsome men looked at Nuoyan with extremely hot eyes!

"Of course, no problem. I will immediately tell the guards to tell everyone in the kingdom about your request... In fact, I don't even need to come forward. After all, last night, we all witnessed your bravery and saw the great goddess. Take you flying to the night sky.

Therefore, I think that everyone in the kingdom now admires you extremely, and it is our greatest honor to join you in offering tribute to the great goddess Artemis! "

King Oeneus personally stepped down from the throne and earnestly promised the promise.

And this is the power of a god in this era...not to mention that goddess, the most dazzling goddess in Olympus, Athena, the goddess of wisdom!

So the conversation went very smoothly.

The promise achieved its purpose, and seeing that the promise did not hold them accountable for their rudeness some time ago, King Oeneus and Queen Althea breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts.

Later, they were prepared to receive Promise with a grandest banquet, but Promise refused, and now he just wanted to quickly present the painting to Artemis.

So he left the palace with Atalanta, Meleager and the others.

As soon as he left the palace, the red-haired young man Meleager couldn't help but said to Nuoyan: "Thank you for your promise... But you don't actually need to worry about me. You could have made some suggestions to my parents. An even more outrageous request!”

"Who cares about you, but what you said reminded me... Well, if you really want to repay me, let your parents and your people publicize my deeds! "

Having said this, Nuoyan paused for a moment and then looked at Atalanta and said: "By the way, Atalanta, do you want to also..."

"No need!" Atalanta immediately interrupted her promise.

In fact, Atalanta is not completely unmoved by the reputation gain. After all, this is the age of the ancient Greek gods.

But helplessly, the incident of the thief that day really left such a deep impression on her that when she thought that she might be like this one day, Atalanta felt inexplicably uncomfortable all over her body...

The pure Atalanta didn't know it at this moment.

This situation is called social death!

"Then, I will play two pieces of piano for you later?" Nuoyan thought for a while and then said to Atalanta.

Hearing this, Atalanta stopped, raised her eyebrows slightly, then tilted her head to look at Nuoyan, looking him up and down with her holy blue eyes, and said: "Actually, I had a vague feeling that you were a little strange last night. You seem to have been trying to please me these past few days?”

"No way, you're overthinking." Nuoyan replied, tilting his head and looking at the sky.

"...You are not thinking that if the tribute does not satisfy the goddess Artemis, you will ask me to intercede with the goddess on your behalf, right?"

"No, you specifically agreed to hunt with me last night so that I could present this tribute with you... You actually thought that with me around then, the goddess Artemis would be more merciful to you, right? Bar!"

Nuoyan looked at Atalanta with shock on his face.

When did this arrogant wild cat become so smart?

At this moment, all this has actually been seen by the three goddesses Hera, Artemis and Athena who were hiding in the clouds in the sky.

The three of them have been here since Nuoyan entered the Calydon Palace.

King Oeneus of Calydon and the hunter Tox, their earlier attitudes towards their promises were naturally noticed by Athena and Artemis.

If Athena hadn't stopped her, the angry Artemis would have almost destroyed the kingdom with an arrow.

After all, when they questioned the hunt for sacrifice that day, they were also questioning Artemis herself, not to mention that it was Promise and Atalanta who were humiliated.

Although Artemis said that Atalanta was boring, no matter what, Atalanta was still the child that Artemis picked up and raised and watched.

Athena prepared such a large sacrifice ceremony for the gods last night, and walked out holding Nuo Yan's hand in front of everyone in the Calydon Kingdom. In fact, she wanted to tell King Calydon that Nuo Yan was not someone they could afford to offend.

Therefore, these Greek gods who like to watch the fun will naturally not let go of such a slap in the face this morning.

But the ending made them feel very boring, and they all felt in their hearts that the promise was too kind. After all, if it were another person, the hunter named Tox would have to die there today.

But precisely because of this, they naturally heard Nuoyan's next plan.

Let the entire Calydon Kingdom help and offer tribute to Artemis...

So at this moment, Hera naturally looked at Artemis, who was full of surprise, with a very jealous expression.

"Artemis, that kid Nuoyan really likes you!" Hera said with jealousy on her face.

Therefore, he didn't notice that Athena's expression on the side was slightly strange.

After all, among the three goddesses at this moment, who knows the most about promises, it is of course her, the goddess of wisdom.

Therefore, she could naturally see that the reason why Nuoyan worked so hard to prepare had nothing to do with liking or respect, but entirely because of fear...

Hey, is that guy Nuoyan so afraid of being hunted?

How about I tell him the same thing next time?

If he doesn't choose me next time, I will hunt him too!

Athena said it when she was on Pegasus last night. She actually saw at that time that the promise was a choice between her and Hera.

And this is why Athena suddenly changed the topic last night and brought it to Hephaestus, the God of Craftsmen.

At first, she actually planned to take this opportunity to let the promise choose her.

And Athena was originally very confident.

After all, ever since she tricked Hera into Hades' marriage that day, Athena has been working hard to win her favor during this period.

He even went so far as to give the promised gift in person.

But what Athena didn't expect was that under such circumstances, Hera would be the one chosen by Promise!

This made Athena feel frustrated and angry, and at the same time inspired an even stronger desire to win!

After all, Athena really couldn't bear to directly destroy the promise now, let alone that she had an oath to the promise in the first place.

That's why Athena called it quits midway, preparing to continue to deepen her relationship with Nuo Yan, and even felt cruel in her heart.

She decided that future promises would never leave her!

I just don’t know what Hera’s expression would be like if she knew that if she actually tried a little harder last night, she could have caused Athena to lose the chance.

"Well...but what I want is obviously a painting?" Moon Goddess Artemis was surprised, but at the same time she tilted her head in confusion.

"Painting?" Queen Hera looked at Artemis doubtfully and asked, "Promise that child can still draw?"

Hearing this, when Artemis subconsciously prepared to answer, she noticed Athena's gaze that instantly stared at her... Athena had not yet settled the accounts with Artemis for cheating her last night!

So Artemis shut her mouth obediently.

Seeing this, Hera looked at Artemis and then at Athena.

Squinting those beautiful amber eyes, he said to Athena: "Athena, are you hiding something from me again?"

"No way, Hera, what are you going to say... By the way, why don't you go find your daughter? After all, you promised the child last night." Athena chuckled. With one sentence, Hera instantly had all her questions stuck in her throat.

Then Hera, who was stiff all over, looked at the smiling Athena in front of her. Even though she gritted her teeth in hatred, there was really nothing she could do to her.

After all, although Hera is the Queen of Heaven, she is not on the same level as Athena in terms of strategy and even strength!

The most dazzling pearl in Olympus, the power she controls can only be surpassed by the god King Zeus.

Even Hades and Poseidon, the god of the sea, are not necessarily opponents of this goddess of wisdom!

"Go again in two days!" Hera replied angrily: "This is the tribute made by the child of Promise. As his goddess, how can I not watch him."

Hearing this, Athena did not refute, and she was not angry either.

After glancing at Hera, he continued to focus on Nuoyan.

But underneath that seemingly indifferent expression, what he was thinking in his heart was...

Hum, sooner or later I'll grab it for you!

...
