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

But Cloto also saw the prosperity of the kingdom at that time and the smiles on their faces, so Cloto did not actually hate them in his heart.

The purpose of her coming here was actually just to inform Nuoyan of the seriousness of the matter and to warn him not to try to interfere with fate again.

But things are different now.

So the next moment, the spindle of fate appeared in the hands of Clotho, the goddess of fate.

She used her power to present the threads of the world in front of the promise.

So Nuoyan found himself as if he had come to a special temple, which contained everything in the world. The thread representing the fate of all people entangled the entire temple.

And Clotho, the delicate goddess of fate, strolled in it, touching the silk threads in her hands, looking for a suitable destiny in them.

I don’t know how long it took, but finally the goddess of fate, Clotho, stopped in front of a destiny.

And the next second when that destiny was picked up, the temple disappeared in front of the promise.

After coming back to his senses, Nuoyan found himself still standing under the shade of the tree, talking to Clotho, the goddess of fate, in front of him in the afternoon sun.

The only difference is that this time, Kloto has an extra thread of destiny in his hand.

“Since you choose to defy fate, I, the goddess of fate, Clotho, will give you this opportunity… There is a town about five days to the east of here, where the person you are looking for is.

His name is Actaeon, and he was your friend when you were studying abroad with the Centaur Sage Chiron."

Clotho peeked at fate and said to Nuoyan: "He is about to die because he offended the moon goddess Artemis. Aren't you going to find them and invite them to participate in the adventure of the Golden Fleece? ... Without the help of the goddess, if you really have the courage to contact the wrath of the fickle moon goddess Artemis.

Then you can try and see if you can really bear the price of not respecting fate!"

Chapter 29: Moon Goddess and Tower Meow!

There is a reason why Clotho, the goddess of fate, is angry.

Because in ancient Greek mythology, a predetermined fate is usually truly unchangeable.

Even the gods must abide by this rule.

Those who dare to defy fate will ultimately be manipulated by fate and meet a more tragic ending.

For example, Sisyphus deceived the gods of the underworld because of his fear of death, and was eventually punished to never be able to push the boulder to the top of the mountain, and spent his whole life repeating and endlessly doing meaningless things...

By the way, let me mention here that Sisyphus actually has some relationship with the river goddess Aegina. Do you remember that she was taken away by Zeus who turned into an eagle and was chased by Aegina’s father god?

In fact, Aegina's father did not know about this at first, but it happened to be seen by Sisyphus. In response to the river god's promise to give him a spring that would never dry up, Sisyphus told the river god about it.

This led to his death and the revenge of Zeus.

Another typical case is the tragic Oedipus. Even though he knew his fate from the beginning and had been fighting against it, he still killed his father and married his mother without knowing it.

Eventually, her mother committed suicide out of shame after learning the truth, and he shed tears of blood, blinded his eyes, and eventually died of depression.

Therefore, Clotho was naturally very angry at Nuoyan who did not listen to the advice and still chose to fight against fate. That's why she chose to tell Nuoyan the fate of Actaeon, hoping that Nuoyan could learn a lesson from it!

Five days later,

Following the direction pointed by the goddess of fate, Clotho, Nuoyan arrived at the town.

As soon as he arrived, he found that this small town was unusually lively today. Many hunters gathered here, in groups of three or five, discussing something enthusiastically.

Yes, the promise came naturally.

Whether it was to hear the news of Actaeon's impending death, to find him so he could join the Argonauts, or to participate in his original legendary story, there was obviously no reason for Promise not to come.

And just as Nuoyan was walking on the road, he looked at the crowd gathered in front of him with confusion.

"......promise?"

A familiar voice suddenly called him. He turned his head subconsciously and saw a handsome young man with red hair in the crowd not far away.

He was looking at Nuoyan with eyes wide open and an expression of disbelief.

"Meleager?" After a slight pause, Nuoyan immediately called out his name.

Meleager was one of Chiron's students, and he had taught Chiron the art of hunting for some time when they were in the cave of Pyrrha.

He was also the prince of Calydon, the one who initiated the legendary event in ancient Greek mythology, the Calydonian Hunt.

By the way, after that incident, he eventually died at the hands of his mother because he killed his two uncles with his own hands.

The reason for this was a woman, a woman whom Meleager fell in love with at first sight.

Her name is Atalanta...

And at this moment,

"Step aside."

A cold voice suddenly came from behind. Nuoyan subconsciously turned around and saw a woman in beautiful emerald green clothes. Although she was not as elegant and gorgeous as a princess, she had a strange charm.

Her light yellow hair was mixed with emerald green strands, and her holy blue eyes were as sharp as an animal... Nuoyan looked at her in surprise.

And he recognized her identity at a glance.

Atalanta!

Wait, why is she here?!

Just as Nuoyan was thinking about this question, Atalanta, holding the prey she had just hunted in her hand, looked at the black-haired boy who was blocking her way and frowned beautifully.

"Get out of the way," she said again, and this time even colder.

After hearing this, Nuoyan finally came to his senses and quickly made way for her. After she walked past him, he kept staring at her back.

"How about it, is it a beautiful woman?" At this time, Meleager, who had come to Nuoyan's side at some point, spoke to Nuoyan in a tender tone.

Nuoyan turned around and saw Meleager staring at Atalanta's back with admiration in his eyes.

...I have no objection to its beauty, but it's a pity that it has thorns.

And I also know that you will end up dying miserably because of her.

No, wait, this is not right, am I at the wrong set?!

Nuoyan came to his senses and looked around quickly. He couldn't help but said to Meleager: "Meleager, could this be... Calydon?"

"Calydon?" Meleager turned his head. "No."

"No?" Nuoyan was stunned for a moment, and said to Meleager in confusion: "No, why are you here, and..."

As he made the promise, he looked at the bustling surroundings and the back of Atalanta in front of him.

"We are gathered here because of the oracle of the great goddess, Lady Artemis... Wait, this is not the point at all.

Nuoyan, why are you here? ! "

Meleager suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said to Nuoyan in disbelief, "Teacher Chiron actually asked you to come down the mountain?

Teacher Chiron is confused!"

As Meleager spoke, Nuoyan found that several people around him suddenly turned their eyes to him.

Even Atalanta in front of him turned around and looked at him, with curiosity clearly written in her eyes.

"The teacher didn't agree...but he agreed in the end."

Nuoyan thought about it and found that there was no need to hide it, so he answered truthfully: "In fact, I sneaked down with Jason at the beginning."

"I knew it." Meleager was not surprised at all. He nodded and said, "Only Jason could be tricked by you into bringing him down the mountain!"

"Indeed." Nuoyan also nodded, "But how come you seemed to know from the beginning that I had gone down the mountain, and..."

As he spoke, Nuoyan looked around.

He found that many people around him were talking about him.

When did I become so famous?

Nuoyan looked confused.

"How come you have forgotten what you have done and the oracle you are carrying?" Seeing this, Meleager couldn't help laughing and said, "The story between you and Jason has spread a long time ago, so many people know that you will come out this time to select heroes and invite them to participate in the adventure of the Golden Fleece.

and......"

At this point, Meleager couldn't help laughing, and he said:

"You are so crazy about being famous that you even made those thieves take such an oath.

You don't know that when I met those guys that day, and they told me your story with such seriousness, I laughed so hard that I almost fell to the ground because of a stomachache!"

As Meleager's voice fell, many people around him couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Although many people have not seen it with their own eyes, they have naturally heard about such interesting things from their friends.

Even Atalanta in front couldn't help but smile.

After all, even she didn't know what expression to show when she recalled the thieves she encountered in the forest and how they robbed her with a serious look on their faces while also saying those words of praise and promises.

When Nuoyan heard this, a look of realization appeared on his face.

Not only was he not ashamed of this, he even said to Meleager with great pride: "How about it? Impressive, isn't it?"

It is indeed profound, I still can’t forget it after so long!

Atalanta nodded, and at the same time, her holy blue eyes naturally reflected Nuoyan, who had black hair and emerald green eyes in front of her.

Especially looking at the other person's childish face, that artistic aura that was totally inconsistent with a hero, and thinking about the thieves' oath...it felt even weirder!

Many people nearby probably felt the same way, so they laughed even louder.

"You guy." Meleager was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He stretched out his hand and ruffled Nuoyan's hair, and said unhappily: "Only an idiot like Jason would follow you and make trouble!"

When Nuoyan was in Piliwen, he had good relationships with many people. Besides his high energy, which basically made everyone follow him for a period of time, the second most important reason was because of his age.

Nuoyan is only sixteen years old now, and the childishness on his face has not completely disappeared.

Even Theseus, who went up the mountain with Nuoyan, was actually a few years older than Nuoyan.

"What do you mean by nonsense? Didn't you just tell me that I have the oracle of Hera, the Queen of Heaven, in my possession... Why don't you want to participate in the adventure of the Golden Fleece?"

Meleager, he was naturally one of the crew members of the Argo.

As Nuoyan finished his words, the people who were laughing on the side suddenly became quiet. They looked at Nuoyan, and their eyes became hot at this moment.

Even Atalanta showed a little excitement in her eyes at this moment.

When Meleager saw that the atmosphere was not right, he grabbed Nuoyan's hand and hurriedly took him away from there, all the way to a room in the small town.

After closing the door, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one followed him.

"You... do you know how dangerous it was just now!" Then Meleager couldn't help but said to Nuoyan, and was about to say something to him.

"What kind of danger can there be? If I am not mistaken, the content of the oracle is nothing more than that I will select powerful heroes under the watchful eyes of the great Queen Hera, and embark on the adventure to the Land of the Golden Fleece together."

Nuoyan sat down calmly and poured himself a glass of cold water.

"In this case, naturally no one will think of attacking me. They will only think of how to please me, or prove to me that they are qualified to go with me!"

Meleager was stunned when he heard this. He thought about it carefully and found that it seemed to be true.

"No, wait a minute. How come there has been no news about you for nearly three months? It's like you suddenly disappeared!"

Meleager came to his senses and immediately sat down in front of Nuoyan, saying, “You don’t know that when Theseus heard the news, he rushed to see Jason and angrily accused him of letting you leave alone.

After all, you don’t even have the ability to protect yourself!"

Nuoyan looked at Meleager dejectedly, even though he knew that what the other party said was true and that he cared about him.

As for the promise, the goddess would want to give him a golden apple when she saw him, and pray that he wouldn't be blown to the underworld by the wind. He can barely fight against two weak thieves occasionally.

But where is this? This is the Age of Ancient Greek Gods!

There are beasts, demons, and monsters everywhere!

Nuoyan should be thankful that the goddess's protection on him was shining brightly, otherwise the nymphs in the forest would have long since attacked him as he was running around aimlessly.

But even so, Nuoyan really wanted to smash the sword of judgment engraved with the goddess of justice Themis in Meleager's face.

But in the end, it was just a thought.

"I was delayed by something... Let's not talk about this anymore. Why are you here, Meleager?"

Nuoyan brought the topic back to the topic, frowned at Meleager and said: "And the oracle of the goddess Artemis...what does this mean?"

Nuoyan naturally did not forget his purpose, as well as the words of Clotho, the goddess of fate.
