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

The cursed people held torches high and stood outside the altar that was lit by flames, looking at the young man standing in front of the altar with expectant eyes.

The flames in the dark night illuminated the boy's slightly immature face and his clear emerald green pupils.

At this moment, Nuoyan was wearing a light blue ceremonial robe, which was the dress given to him by Aegina, saying that it was a garment for offering sacrifices to gods.

Then, with everyone's witness, Nuoyan threw the tribute into the altar.

"The noble and great Queen of Olympus, the kind goddess in charge of marriage and fertility, your loyal believer, the student of the Centaur Chiron, hereby expresses the highest respect to you and offers you all the precious wealth in my body!"

As he said this, Nuoyan threw everything he had into the altar.

The wooden bow that Chiron made for him when they were practicing on the mountain, the money they robbed after they came down the mountain, and some things that Jason forced Nuoyan to give before he left.

And the two golden apples that Nuoyan has not been willing to eat until now.

When taking out the canvas and brush, Nuoyan hesitated for a moment. After all, this canvas was made by Chiron based on Nuoyan's description and was something that did not exist in this era at all.

The paintbrush is Chiron's gift of promise.

But after a brief hesitation, Nuoyan threw it all in.

However, he did not realize that as soon as those things were thrown in, they were intercepted by Athena who was hiding among the stars and watching nearby.

Athena held the paintbrush and canvas, looked at the priests below, and narrowed her beautiful golden eyes.

And because she was staring at Nuoyan at the moment, she did not notice the slight smile of the serious goddess of justice Themis beside her.

She was covered with a white cloth, losing the view she could see with her eyes, but because of this she saw more.

Unhappy, angry and a little jealous...

Themis felt that she needed to find some time to remind Hera. After all, she had a pretty good relationship with Hera...although she also had a good relationship with Athena.

But in any case, I still have to remind her to remember to keep an eye on her believers.

After doing all this, the promise continued: "I beg you, the noble and kind one, to respond to your loyal believers!"

The next moment after Nuoyan finished saying this.

With almost no time difference, the most noble goddess on this continent had already appeared in front of Nuoyan.

Beautiful golden curls flowed out from under the crown, and her beautiful face was covered with a faint golden veil today.

Hera's bright amber eyes stared at the young man in front of her, offering tribute to her for the first time and praying for the promise of coming.

She appeared in the shortest time and put on the most gorgeous divine clothes!

Offer tributes to the gods and pray for their rewards and blessings... This was the solution that Nuoyan immediately thought of when he learned what happened to the goddess Aegina.

And, it is not special.

The Calydonian Boar...

That was a punishment from Artemis, the moon goddess.

In order to get rid of this monster, Meleager, who was also a hero under Chiron and one of the future heroes on the Argo, and a member of the Book of Promises and Revenge, did something similar.

After being informed by the goddess of fate, he knew that he could not go to other gods for help on this matter, so he prepared for a long time and offered many tributes to the moon goddess Artemis, and finally got the understanding and permission of Artemis.

And, he also received the blessing of this goddess.

In this way, Meleager was able to hold the Calydonian Hunt and invite many heroes to participate in hunting down the monster.

Although Nuoyan could not offer so much wealth as tribute, as a time traveler, he saw one thing very clearly: in the eyes of the gods, the amount of tribute did not matter much. After all, many things they wanted were very easy to get.

Therefore, in front of the gods, the most important thing is the intention.

Nuoyan offered everything he had. Not to mention Hera, even Athena probably couldn't refuse Nuoyan's request if she faced such a situation.

'Hera's doting'... That's right, the oracle that Athena gave to Nuoyan was for Nuoyan to offer tribute to Hera, and Hera would definitely respond to Nuoyan's request.

But I've already said it's spoiling, spoiling, it's all spoiling!

You just need to pretend to please Hera. Do you really have to give her everything? I gave you those two golden apples. Do you really think they are not mine? And you even took away this paintbrush...

Athena is smiling,

The paintbrush in her hand was deforming at this moment.

Themis covered her lips with her hand, unable to hide the smile on her face any longer.

This meticulous goddess of justice smiled extremely happily at this moment. It was estimated that she had not smiled like this for hundreds of years.

because,

What naked dissatisfaction and jealousy this is!

Hey, Athena, goddess of wisdom!

"Thank you, noble and beautiful Queen of Heaven, for answering my prayers. Please listen to my wishes."

Seeing Hera coming and looking in a good mood, Nuoyan couldn't help but feel relieved.

To be honest, he was still a little nervous... Even though he thought he had done his best, it was a humiliating act to let Hera lift the curse herself, and the other party was Hera's love rival, so Nuoyan was really unsure.

All I can say is that being a time traveler and knowing a lot is indeed Nuoyan’s advantage.

But precisely because he knew too much, knowing the secret that Hera and Aegina were rivals in love, Nuoyan chose to give everything.

"Please, my noble one, drive away the curse that has befallen this kingdom..."

The moment when the promise is made.

The goddess Aegina also appeared here.

She also put on her most gorgeous clothes, ready to go to the scene to mock Hera harshly and enjoy Hera's stunned look.

but......

"it is good."

Hera agreed without any hesitation.

At this moment, the rare smile on Aegina's face froze.

And before Nuoyan could react.

"Hey, Hera, what are you talking about? Look carefully where you are here, look carefully and see who I am!"

Aegina stood in front of Hera in great anger.

In response, Hera simply glanced at her lightly.

Then, still with a gentle smile, he looked at Nuoyan tenderly.

"Is this what you wish for, Promise?" Hera asked softly.

"Hmm...hmm." Shenzhen Nuoyan nodded, feeling a little surprised at Hera's reaction.

"Hera, you... humph, come to think of it, you don't know yet, Hera's follower!"

Seeing that Hera ignored her, Aegina was angry and seemed to have thought of something. She fixed her eyes on Nuoyan and said to him with joy: "The god who brought down the disaster and plague on the kingdom you want to save and cruelly destroyed it all is none other than the god who can save everything in your eyes.

You think the kind goddess, Queen Hera... yes, it was her who destroyed all this!"

After Aegina finished speaking, she laughed happily.

She thought that the promise would not be believed, and her faith was shaken, and she even panicked in front of Hera.

However......

"Hmm?" Nuoyan looked at Aegina in confusion. "I knew it from the beginning. And didn't you ask me at the beginning if it was Goddess Hera who asked me to come?"

Aegina was stunned. She looked at Nuoyan blankly, her face full of disbelief.

Hera, who was stunned for a moment after hearing this, seemed to finally come back to her senses from her joy. She looked around and finally looked at Aegina.

Discovered where this place was and finally discovered who Aegina was.

So Hera was also stunned.

As for all this, Themis, who was hiding in the dark night with Athena, put her hand to her chin at some point.

Obviously, he was completely absorbed in it.

After coming back to his senses, he subconsciously looked at Athena.

Then I saw Athena, whose face was full of jealousy a second ago, now had a face full of joy, with the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably, as if she had waited for a long time and finally got to eat this big melon...

You are so worthy of me, Athena!

Chapter 21: There will be a trial here!

In the cursed kingdom, beneath the altar of sacrifice.

The cursed people gathered here, holding torches high, to dispel and illuminate the darkness of the night.

When the gods they believed in, the river goddess Aegina and the noblest goddess of the era, Hera, arrived at this time, they worshiped them in panic and bowed their heads.

They did not hear the conversation between the three people. After all, Aegina understood that this was not a sound they could listen to.

"You said that you knew from the beginning that this curse was cast by Hera. If that's the case, why, why..."

Aegina was extremely shaken. She looked at the black-haired, green-eyed boy in front of her, and asked in disbelief as she saw him illuminated by the flames: "Why are you still standing in front of her, your goddess?!"

Aegina is an innocent and kind goddess.

Even because of Hera, she hated promises from the bottom of her heart.

But when Nuoyan collapsed from exhaustion outside the room in the high tower that day, she still reached out, gently picked him up and placed him on her bed.

Therefore, Aegina was actually mentally prepared.

The moment she thought she had used the promise to disgust Hera, she was already prepared to be hated for the rest of her life by this young man who was willing to help her.

Even in order to comfort her guilty heart, Aegina kept telling herself over and over again that it was the result of the boy's own choice, and it was he who chose Hera.

Therefore, at this moment, Nuoyan said in a matter-of-fact tone that it was because he knew the curse that Hera had cast here that he came here, and at this moment he stood in front of Hera and prayed for her blessing.

Aegina was stunned, incredulous and at a loss.

She couldn't believe that her so-called preparation was just wishful thinking.

She couldn't believe that the young man in front of her actually stood before the gods for her and for the kingdom.

Moreover, this god is not only the most noble goddess on this earth, but also the god that this young man believes in!

At the same time, Hera was also at a loss.

When Aegina asked these questions with great hesitation and doubt in her heart.

Hera's amber eyes also subconsciously fell on Nuoyan.

Hera, who had come back to her senses from the joy of receiving the promised tribute, and giving her all, now finally recognized where this place was.

Who is that goddess looking at him with resentment?

"Because the Queen Hera I know is a gentle and kind goddess."

The promise was answered.

One cannot lie to a god, so he was telling the truth.

after all......

"You are talking about Hera, the Queen of Heaven. She is a gentle and kind goddess..." This was Chiron's answer to the question asked by Nuoyan when Nuoyan was studying under him.

Not only that, this description is also clearly recorded in the legend.

So, didn't Hera really know what she was doing? She cast a curse, took away those innocent lives, and caused the once prosperous kingdom to be destroyed.

Is it incorrect?

Of course she knew.

However, as the goddess in charge of marriage and the absolute defender of monogamy, she was unable to obtain the happy marriage that belonged to her. Therefore, under such torture, she had become morbid and jealous of everyone who had interfered with her marriage.

Therefore, although Hera knew it, she didn't care. She just wanted to destroy the person who had spoiled her marriage and destroy everything of Aegina.

But precisely because she actually knew, when Hera heard Nuoyan ask her this, facing such a believer who trusted her so much, she felt an inexplicable emotion instantly surge in her heart.

He tilted his head away.

At this moment, she was even glad that she was wearing a veil tonight.

"Gentle and kind goddess... Ha, hahaha, Hera, ah Hera, you, you...how could you have deserved this!"
