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

“I’ll follow you, I’ll follow you!” Athena glared at Themis fiercely, then turned around and pulled Hera, saying, “Let’s go to the underworld!”

However, if they want to go to the underworld, they need a guide. After all, the three of them have almost never been to that place of eternal darkness.

So they found the only one of the Twelve Olympian gods who was familiar with the route - Hermes, the messenger of the gods.

And when they came to the underworld and met the master of the underworld - Hades.

In the temple, Hades, the god of the underworld, had been waiting for them for a long time.

Hades was not a god who was good at talking, so he did not wait for them to speak.

"I can agree to your request and return those who came to the underworld because of Hera's anger and curse." Hades said to them very directly: "But I have a condition for this!"

After saying this, Hades' dark eyes quietly rested on Hera.

Then he told the Queen of Heaven, the goddess in charge of marriage, his conditions.

Hearing the condition, Hera was a little surprised, but finally agreed to it.

Just like that, about half a month passed.

In that high tower, in the chamber of the river goddess Aegina.

The scales of judgment that had been still beside Nuoyan suddenly shook slightly, and with that slight shake, Nuoyan's eyebrows, who had been sleeping, trembled twice, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

After standing up and looking around in confusion, Nuoyan once again saw the goddess sitting quietly by the window next to the tall tower.

She was still wearing a light blue dress, with soft blue curls falling on her shoulders, and her eyes were quietly looking out the window, at her kingdom.

Only this time, there was no sadness or pain on Aegina's face.

Instead, it was filled with a smile that came from the heart.

"Son, are you awake?"

Then, noticing the movement, she turned her head and fixed her gaze on Nuoyan.

The look he gave Nuoyan was filled with unprecedented tenderness, as well as deep guilt and gratitude that could not be described in words.

"Well... Goddess Aegina, good morning?" Looking at the sunlight shining on her outside the window, Nuoyan couldn't tell what time it was for a moment.

But this is obviously not the point.

As if he had thought of something, after saying hello, Nuoyan immediately got up from the bed and walked to the window in two steps... Although he had been lying down for more than half a month, because of the Judgment Scales, Nuoyan did not feel tired at all, as if he had really had a good sleep and then woke up.

When he came to the window, facing the bright sunshine, and looked out.

What Nuoyan saw was a prosperous kingdom. The people in the kingdom were surging. The laughter gathered in the hustle and bustle could be heard clearly even by Nuoyan who was standing in the high tower.

"Dream...it seems like I have indeed woken up."

So Nuoyan laughed and looked at Aegina beside him.

"Yes, Goddess Aegina?"

Age: 16

Era: Ancient Greek Gods

Identity: Traveler

Heroic Spirit Occupation: Unconfirmed

Legend of Heroes Event:

He met Theseus, the future king of Athens, and together they became disciples of Chiron, the Centaur sage.

Although he was initially mistaken for Jason, he was able to pull the situation back from nearly out of control with his own strength in an almost desperate situation, and became the person who would bring glory to Hera as predicted by Clotho, the goddess of fate.

Now you have received an oracle from the goddess of wisdom Athena, and come to Aegina, the river goddess who lost everything due to the curse of Hera, and present her with a painting of what she has lost, in exchange for a sacrifice to the queen of heaven Hera.

Facing the Queen of Heaven Hera, you gave her everything you had, just asking for a blessing from her, and finally you succeeded.

After all, this is the oracle given to you by the goddess of wisdom - Hera's favor.

But at that moment, the goddess of justice Themis came and brought down a judgment. She revealed to you all the secrets of this incident, invited you to sit on the judgment seat, and gave you a special honor together with Hera.

Then, in that pure white court, you will judge the gods as a mere mortal!

It turns out that this goddess of justice had already weighed you with the scales of judgment on the day she first met you, so she had already seen the future in you.

'This is not an absolutely fair verdict, but it is a verdict that even I, the goddess of justice, Themis, would praise!'

This was a trial that even the goddess of justice, Themis, approved of.

This is also a trial that is destined to be recorded in history!

Even if all this has become a dream under your judgment, when everyone wakes up, they will forget everything and embrace a better future.

But history should record everything!

therefore......

Chapter 25: Promise, do you...want it?

In the afternoon,

In the center of the Kingdom of Aegina, illuminated by the bright sunshine, is the high tower where the river goddess Aegina lives.

This goddess was once noticed by the king of gods Zeus because of her beauty and innocent character, and was eventually transformed into an eagle and taken away.

At this moment I am sitting by the window of the high tower.

Not only did she put on her favorite beautiful dress, but she also asked the nymphs who served her in the kingdom to spend nearly half a day combing her blue curly hair and tidying up her clothes.

Presented in front of the promise in the most elegant and beautiful appearance.

Nuoyan, who was sitting not far from her, was also looking at Aegina in front of him seriously, and depicting her most beautiful moment... on the canvas in front of him!

Yes, the next day when Nuoyan finally woke up and witnessed the original prosperity and magnificence of the city, he picked up the paintbrush and canvas, and following the oracle left by Athena when she left, he portrayed the river goddess Aegina in front of him.

Although Nuoyan really wanted to ask, weren't the paintbrush and canvas thrown into the altar for sacrifice and offered to Queen Hera, how did they appear in Athena's hands?

But no matter what, Nuoyan was very happy to have his brush and canvas back...Anyway, when Hera asks about this, he can just push it to Athena!

Why did Athena leave such an oracle?

Of course, that's because it's her turn to perform next.

Athena left behind an oracle at the beginning, which marked the beginning of this event.

Then the goddess of justice Themis, the river goddess Aegina, and finally the queen of heaven Hera came on the stage and performed a wonderful performance of "development" and "climax" with the promise.

And during these stages, Athena was indeed a spectator, so she used her golden eyes to quietly stare at all the developments and did not participate in them.

But Athena never intended to be a spectator forever, so she always reserved a stage for herself to perform, which is just as important as the climax... the ending!

A good ending can make the story memorable and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

And she is the mother of heroes.

The reason why Athena is called the Mother of Heroes is not because she loves watching heroes go on adventures, but because she has always been shaping heroes.

Therefore, Athena is by no means a spectator. She has been actively participating in various legends, personally guiding the growth of heroes and witnessing their lives.

And she made a vow to the promise in the name of the goddess of wisdom.

Under the painting that was promised to her.

Athena's vow is that she will bear witness to the promise and become one of the brightest stars of this era.

At the same time, in the end, he was given an ending that shocked the whole world!

And you have to know that for the gods, the oath made in their own name is absolute!

"Nuoyan, you seem to be in a good mood?"

The river goddess Aegina had a beautiful smile on her face, and she looked gently at the young man with black hair and clear green eyes in front of her.

"Hey, can Goddess Aegina see it?" Nuoyan gently waved the paintbrush in his hand and looked at Aegina with some surprise.

"Yeah." Aegina smiled, and the smile on her face became more gentle, and said softly: "After all, you were even humming a song just now."

"Ah, sorry Goddess Aegina..."

"No, it's okay." Aegina quickly shook her head and said to Nuoyan, "I just feel very happy. Seeing you so happy, I am really happy... By the way, child, can you tell me why you are happy?"

"Well... because I feel I have done something very meaningful." Nuoyan thought for a moment and answered.

This isn't a lie, but...

The quality of the heroic spirit is C, C!

The journey had just begun, and a major quality improvement had occurred, jumping directly from E to C!

Even though it's only C-, it's still a big jump!

And it has only been a short time. Even if you include the half month he was asleep, it has only been two months at most since he left Jason.

It’s only two months at most!

With such a fast improvement speed, Nuoyan suddenly felt that his future was bright.

What's more, this is the first time to create a Heroic Spirit with the golden finger of the Heroic Spirit Class Card.

If I could reach A-rank in the first try... No, I could directly reach S-rank or even crown rank.

What will the future be like? Nuoyan said he didn’t even dare to think about it!

How bright that will be!

Ah, praise the goddess of justice Themis!

Thinking of this, the smile on Nuoyan's face became more obvious.

If his hands were not occupied with painting, he would have taken out his harp and played a tune or two...

Promise will play the harp.

Remember when Jason went down the mountain to find Nuo Yan?

At that time, Promise was playing the harp, playing a sad melody.

He learned the art of playing the harp from Orpheus.

Orpheus is the son of Apollo, the god of light, and one of the crew members of the future Argo.

His most famous story is that he entered the underworld for his wife, moved the King and Queen of the Underworld with his piano playing, and gained the qualification to bring his wife from the underworld to the human world.

The condition was that Orpheus must not look back on his way back to the human world from the underworld.

But in the end, Orpheus broke this agreement. When he was about to arrive on earth, his wife's crying and cursing made him unable to help but turn back to comfort his wife.

Eventually, they were separated forever, never to see each other again.

That’s right, Nuoyan is indeed the last among Chiron’s disciples, and Jason is the second to last.

But Nuoyan, who is ranked last, is actually very different from Jason.

After all, Jason is the one who doesn't want to learn anything and gets a headache when it comes to studying. He always tells Chiron that he won't be able to learn even if he teaches him, as he doesn't want to learn anymore.

Nuoyan is very positive and willing to learn everything.

The reason is very simple. After all, Nuoyan's real body is not here, so it doesn't matter whether he is alive or dead. In fact, his greatest goal and wish is to ascend to the Throne of Heroes after his death.

At that time, when he was studying on Mount Chiron, he had nothing else to do, so he could only learn more and see if he could get the legendary achievement.

It's the same as when you enter a game and see something light up, you can't help but want to click it once or twice to see if an achievement will pop up.

And facing Nuoyan's vigorous energy...as long as he has nothing to do, he wants to go down the mountain and commit suicide.

But I didn't dare to overtrain the fragile promise that could be blown to the underworld with a single gust of wind.

Chiron naturally put a lot of effort into other aspects.
