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

Tell me what you want, and I will make it come true for you!"

…When did I offer it to you?

Looking at Athena who was holding the painting in front of him and obviously couldn't let it go, Nuoyan wisely didn't ask.

As for wishes, do we still need to think about them?

"I want to be a hero..."

Upon hearing this, Athena looked at Nuoyan with some surprise. After all, he was too weak... But this is ancient Greece in the Age of Gods, so it is normal to have such a dream, so Athena didn't care too much.

Just as I was about to nod,

"And die gloriously on the road to becoming a hero!"

......Huh?

Athena blinked, looked at Nuoyan, hesitated for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "What did you just say..."

“Be a hero!”

"No, the latter sentence."

"Die with a bang!"

Athena was silent for a while. As a well-informed goddess, she said that she had seen all kinds of dreams, but this dream...

"Are you sure you don't want to enjoy the glory and praise after becoming a hero?" Athena couldn't help asking.

"No, although I hope that the world will sing my legend, I hope even more that I can die in a grand epic and make a heroic sacrifice."

"Let my legend be passed down through the ages!"

Athena looked in front of her and shook her head, and she fell silent while making the promise with her emotions even rising and getting excited.

After all, she could tell lies, and she could feel Nuoyan's determination in saying this.

"I think I know why you can't get down the mountain, and Chiron is still monitoring you..."

To put it nicely, it was a heroic and magnificent death, but to put it bluntly, it was just a desire to die!

"But such a dream...is not bad!" Athena said with a smile.

If it were someone else, they might still be hesitant and confused, but who is she? She is Athena.

Mother of heroes!

In ancient Greece, people were either causing trouble or on their way to causing trouble.

So isn’t this major directly relevant? !

At the same time, Athena finally understood what Clotho, the goddess of fate, had predicted for her.

[He is also someone who can bring you glory! ]

therefore,

"I agree." Athena answered happily.

Facing this weak boy, probably the most fragile boy she had ever seen, she longed to be a hero and finally had a heroic ending.

At this moment, Athena responded and made the most regretful oath in her life...

"I swear in the name of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, that you, the student of the Centaur Sage Chiron, will become the shining star of this era under my witness."

"And then, I will grant you an ending that will shock the whole world."

"Let the world sing your name, and let your legend be passed down forever!"

Chapter 14: Virgin goddesses and such are really scary!

There is such a good thing?!

In the room illuminated by dusk, Nuoyan was ecstatic and thought to himself:

It seems that not all virgin goddesses are as unreliable as the moon goddess Artemis!

This is the oath Athena made in her own name, which means it is irreversible and cannot be changed. No matter what happens in the future, she will fulfill the content of the oath.

Therefore, she will witness Nuoyan become a hero, and finally give him an ending that shocks the whole world!

"Thank you for your gift, honorable goddess Athena!"

Athena couldn't help but laugh again at the promise that was being made to her excitedly at this moment in the fullest and most sincere tone yet.

He walked forward, reached out and gently pinched Nuoyan's still slightly tender cheek.

He chuckled and said, "Child, if others heard my oath that I will make you die one day, they would probably be frightened. Only you would think it would be a surprise."

"besides......"

Athena narrowed her eyes slightly, and while her golden eyes were fixed on Nuoyan, she squeezed her hand a little harder and said, "You have been thinking about very rude things just now, right?"

"Huh?" Nuoyan blinked.

"I am a goddess, the goddess of wisdom Athena. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? Xiao Nuoyan, you are so bold!"

Nuoyan opened his eyes wide, and then he became so flustered that he didn't have a chance to explain.

"Pfft... Okay, I won't tease you anymore. But I didn't expect that you were actually thinking about something rude." Athena smiled and let go of her hand.

Turning around, his figure stretched long by the afterglow of the setting sun, he continued, “I didn’t spy on your mind, although I could do it, because you offered me tribute, I didn’t do that… But even though I didn’t spy on your thoughts, you were standing in front of a god, thinking about things related to that god.

It's not just me, other gods can actually sense it vaguely."

This is obviously a reminder.

Nuoyan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Athena's back. He couldn't help feeling a little scared. He was thinking that he must be more careful when facing these unreasonable beings in the future.

"Well, if that's the case...could it be that Goddess Hera already knew about this?!"

Hearing this, Athena turned her head and was puzzled at first when she looked at Nuoyan who seemed a little flustered in front of her.

But she was the goddess of wisdom after all, so she quickly understood the meaning of the promise.

"You are talking about the time when she appeared in front of you as an old woman... As expected, you guessed my oracle early on."

There was no need to hide anything at this point, so Nuoyan naturally nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, she really doesn't know anything." Athena grinned and said, "Because I did it quietly so that she couldn't hear it."

"...So." Nuoyan looked at Athena in front of him, "What happened this morning..."

"Huh? What happened this morning?" Athena still smiled brightly.

"No, it's okay..." Nuoyan lowered his head and said nothing more.

I just secretly labeled Athena as a "pleasure offender"...

Ah, no, no, don’t let your imagination run wild.

Athena is a beautiful, Athenian and kind goddess!

Well, that’s right!

Athena looked at Nuoyan with amusement, and then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at the painting in her hand that she couldn't put down.

Then she carefully put the painting down and took out a strand of her beautiful silver hair that reached her waist.

come forward,

Under Nuoyan's somewhat puzzled but unobstructed gaze, he bent down and wrapped it around Nuoyan's left wrist.

At this time, the sunset had ended at some point, and the stars were hanging high in the night sky, embellishing the darkness. The flawless moonlight shone in from the window, illuminating the two of them.

"Okay." Athena raised her head, looked at the puzzled Nuoyan, and said, "This way you won't have to worry about being read by anyone other than me... Remember, except me."

After saying this, she winked at Nuoyan and continued with a faint smile, "Also, it can protect you when you are in the most dangerous time.

After all, Nuoyan, you can't just die so easily before I prepare the grand ending for you.

If you really die without waiting for me, then even in the underworld, I will not let you go and will pull you out of the underworld!"

After hearing this, Nuoyan didn't have time to react.

"I'm back, promise!"

Jason kicked the door open and walked in laughing.

Then he looked at Nuoyan who was standing by the window, staring at him blankly, and couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Well, what are you doing, Nuoyan?"

The promise was not answered.

After coming back to his senses, he looked around.

Athena was nowhere to be seen, and the painting had also disappeared.

Only the night breeze and the bright moon gently caressed him, making him feel a little cool.

Nuoyan recalled the last words left by Athena, the scene where she seemed to be joking and smiling, but there was no smile in her golden eyes.

If I die before the ending she planned, will she never let me go even if she dies?

As expected, virgin goddesses and the like are really scary!

At this moment, Nuoyan was really at a loss.

Is the oath I made with Athena a good thing or a bad thing?

......

......

After Athena left and took the painting with her, she left the Kingdom of Iolcus with a brisk pace.

However, she did not return to the Holy Mount Olympus, but came to a forest not far from the kingdom.

Athena didn't stop until she reached the deep end of the lake, where the water was as clear as a mirror and reflected the night sky.

Sitting elegantly beside the lake, he took out the painting with a smile on his face, carefully arranged it, and then looked at the shadow of a big tree in the distance, and said in a boastful tone: "Come and see the tribute that the child presented to me!"

Athena's words elicited a good-natured chuckle.

Then, under the moonlight, a tall centaur was seen walking out of the shadows.

She has blonde hair and blue eyes, and she almost always has a gentle and warm smile on her face.

He is the teacher of Nuoyan and Jason, the most famous mentor in ancient Greece, the Centaur sage - Chiron!

When Athena first met Nuoyan and Jason and left the oracle, she said that Nuoyan was protected by Chiron.

To be sure, it is a positioning.

Chiron kept looking at Nuoyan and Jason who had already gone down the mountain.

But there was one thing Athena didn't say at that time, that is, Chiron not only watched them, but he was also following them all the time!

He just stood there quietly in the distance, watching them silently.

"Chiron you have an excellent student."

Athena's words made Chiron smile even more happily, because for a teacher, this was undoubtedly the greatest compliment and recognition.

Then Chiron corrected him gently, "But Jason is also an excellent child."

Athena did not answer, neither nodded nor shook her head.

Just quietly appreciate the painting.

Then peace returned to the forest again, until a long time passed before Chiron let out a sigh.

"Goddess Athena, that oath..."

"Now that you have seen it all, you know that it can never be changed." Athena interrupted.

"I know." Chiron sighed, a little sadness on his face, and asked Athena: "But I sincerely hope that day will come later."

"I can't guarantee that. If there is an ending that suits that child, I can't ignore it... Chiron, since it is the child's wish, why do you keep blocking it?"

Chiron was silent for a while, then answered: "Because I am his teacher."

Late at night, Athena returned to her temple on Mount Olympus.

The eternal sacred fire lights up the magnificent temple.

The busy nymph maids and gods welcomed her return and informed her that a distinguished person had been waiting for her in the temple for a long time.
