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

In fact, when Clotho said that Actaeon would die at the hands of the moon goddess Artemis, Nuoyan already knew what was going on.

Although Actaeon was Chiron's student, he did not actually board the Argo in the end, and he did not even leave behind a decent legend.

Because he died very early at the hands of the moon goddess Artemis.

And the way he died was extremely tragic.

Actaeon was also a hunter and learned excellent hunting skills from Chiron. After he came down from the mountain, he organized people to go hunting in the mountains every day.

The prey was exchanged for money or sacrificed to the gods.

Then one day, because the sun was too hot, Actaeon left the crowd alone.

Just as he was about to find a shady place to rest, he suddenly discovered an extremely beautiful giant deer.

What’s more, the antlers seem to be made of gold, sparkling in the sunlight!

Seeing such a beautiful and rare golden-horned deer, Actaeon became excited instantly. After all, as long as he could hunt it, such a rare prey would not only bring him wealth, but also great reputation!

So he hid quietly, and used his excellent hunting skills to actually shoot it in the vitals!

But what Actaeon did not expect was that even after being shot in a vital part, the golden-horned deer in pain was still able to escape, so Actaeon hurriedly chased after it.

He chased for a long time, going deeper and deeper into the forest, and even unknowingly entered a restricted area that humans should never enter.

That is the sacred place of Artemis, the moon goddess.

He chased all the way to a beautiful lake and finally caught up with the golden-horned deer. At the same time, he saw Artemis, the moon goddess, who was bathing but had already put on her clothes and got up from the lake because she heard the golden-horned deer's painful cries in the distance.

Actaeon stood there blankly, looking at the beautiful goddess who had just come out of the bath with water dripping from her body, and watching his prey fall into the arms of the goddess.

And when he finally woke up from the beautiful figure of the goddess, what greeted him was naturally the endless wrath of the moon goddess Artemis.

Artemis threw the water from the lake at Actaeon and cursed him, turning him into a giant deer as tall as a man, and then drove him away with sharp arrows.

She did not kill Actaeon outright because that would not calm her anger.

Artemis drove the panicked Actaeon in front of his friends, where he was eventually killed by arrows shot by his hunter friends.

Until the end, his friends were surprised to have hunted down this deer as tall and strong as a man, and they called out to Actaeon loudly.

So Nuoyan's idea was very simple at the beginning. He just needed to stop Actaeon before all the tragedies happened, so that he would not chase the golden-horned deer that even Hercules dared not do anything to, and at the same time, prevent Actaeon from meeting Artemis.

But how could things be that simple?

"You don't know...then why are you here?"

Although he was confused, Meleager still told the reason for his promise.

It turned out that a week ago, the moon goddess Artemis had given an oracle that she would hold a special hunt in the ancient forest outside this town.

The winner will have the chance to meet her and receive a gift from her.

"It is said that the target of the hunt is a special giant deer. The deer is majestic and even taller than a human!"

Meleager said to Nuoyan: "For some reasons, I must complete this hunt and see the great goddess Artemis.

Because...I have to save my country!"

When seeing Meleager saying this very seriously, Nuoyan couldn't help but fall silent.

He naturally knew why Meleager wanted to see Artemis, because Artemis left a magical beast in his kingdom, a wild boar as tall as a hill.

This kind of curse is just like the one involving Hera. It can only be removed with the personal approval of Artemis.

But at the same time, he naturally also learned the truth about this hunt and who the giant deer belonged to.

There was no doubt that this had happened, and Actaeon had been transformed into a giant deer by the moon goddess Artemis.

And he will eventually die by his friend's arrow!

Chapter 30: Promise, don’t die!

"How long does the hunt take?"

Knowing that Actaeon had been turned into a giant deer by the moon goddess Artemis, after a brief silence, Nuoyan asked the red-haired Meleager in front of him.

"It seems that you really don't know. Tomorrow night... when the great goddess of night Nyx drives the chariot of night to the human world, the beautiful goddess Artemis will hang a full moon in the sky that night to illuminate the hunting sacrifice for us!"

Tomorrow?

Hearing this, Nuoyan fell silent.

“Speaking of Nuoyan, are you ready to join this hunt?” Meleager asked, and before Nuoyan could answer, Meleager smiled and answered for Nuoyan: “Ah, yes, I shouldn’t have asked you.

After all, you who want to be a great hero, how could you let go of such an opportunity... But let me make it clear, this is the only time I really can't let you go!"

Meleager's expression became serious again, and he said to Nuoyan: "For the sake of my country, I will definitely win this hunting sacrifice and see the beautiful goddess Artemis. After all... this is my only chance!"

Nuoyan fell silent. He looked at Meleager in front of him with his emerald eyes. After a while, he said, "By the way, Meleager, do you know where Actaeon is... In fact, I came here just to find him."

"Actaeon?" Meleager was slightly stunned, then looked at Nuoyan in confusion and said, "Is he here? I don't think I've ever seen him before... What do you want from him?"

"The Adventure of the Golden Fleece."

Hearing this answer, Meleager looked enlightened.

"No, wait, before you meet him, you should have something to say to me!"

Looking at Meleager who was suddenly staring at him, Nuoyan tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Is there?"

"Of course I have. As for me, you haven't invited me yet!" Meleager stood up suddenly and said to Nuoyan anxiously.

"Why should I invite you?" Nuoyan said calmly, and turned around to take out the grudge book from his luggage, opened it, and then, under the wide-eyed gaze of Meleager, read aloud: "That afternoon a year ago, when Teacher Chiron agreed to let you go down the mountain, you immediately ran to me to show off!

And when I followed you, you grabbed me, tied me up and threw me in front of Teacher Chiron, and laughed at me.

Just say I will paint on the mountain and never think of coming down the mountain in this life!"

"You, you actually wrote it all down?" Meleager was shocked.

"That's right." Nuoyan nodded. "Not only you, but also Hercules and Theseus. None of them can escape... Speaking of which, I haven't even settled the score with you yet. You actually laughed at me in front of so many people!"

"This, this..." Meleager seemed a little embarrassed, and then as if he had thought of something, he looked at Nuoyan's grudge book and said, "Wait, the real purpose of your saying goodbye to Jason and coming to us, could it be..."

"That's right, who is here to invite you to go on an adventure together?" Nuoyan nodded and said loudly: "I am here to seek revenge!

A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years. In the beginning, you all despised me for not taking me down the mountain, but now I want to make it so that you can't reach me!

Want to get on board? Want to create great things together under the witness of the great queen?

Yes, now, immediately, please beg me!"

Meleager looked at the man sitting in front of him with a smug look on his face. He felt speechless and amused. Finally, he raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you vengeful guy... I was wrong, okay, I admit my mistake.

Alas, I have to say, Teacher Chiron is really confused. How could he really let you go down the mountain!

And Jason, I will definitely beat him up next time we meet!"

After saying this, Meleager paused, looked at the promise in front of him, and laughed again, saying, "But actually, at first I was still hesitant about whether I should go or not, after all, I didn't know if the problem at home could really be solved.

But now I have decided, I must go!"

Seeing that Meleager's expression suddenly became firm, Nuoyan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why?"

Meleager looked at Nuoyan and said unhappily, “Why do you say that… I don’t know why Teacher Chiron hasn’t tied you up to the mountain yet.

I just know that if I don't keep an eye on you, you, who are so determined to die, will definitely die there!"

Upon hearing this, Nuoyan unexpectedly did not refute.

Because this was exactly what he had planned when he went down the mountain with Jason.

I was planning to die on the Argo!

And if Chiron had not seen Nuoyan and Athena's oath, he might not have returned to the mountain at that time, and would probably have followed him worriedly until now.

"Well, if I think about it this way, it will be unexpectedly lively then." As if he had thought of something, Meleager looked at the promise in front of him and said, "Because of you, after several years, everyone may really gather together for the first time..."

All with a purpose.

Nuoyan, don’t die!

......

......

That night,

The flames lit up the dark night under the stars. The hunters who gathered here because of Artemis' oracle were singing the greatness of Artemis and holding a grand banquet.

Artemis,

She is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. She is the goddess of the moon and the goddess of hunting, worshipped by hunters.

At the same time, like the goddess of wisdom Athena, she is also a virgin goddess, a goddess who vows to remain pure forever and the protector of unmarried girls.

In ancient Greek mythology, Artemis and Athena were in charge of the virginity of young girls. When girls were about to get married, they would return their virgin belts to Athena or Artemis in the temple.

Entering the married period ruled by the goddess of beauty Aphrodite and the queen of heaven Hera.

At the same time, Artemis is also the most familiar goddess of Promise in this era...the goddess of strangling!

"Hey, so why isn't the bear here?"

The party was lit by flames and filled with laughter.

Nuoyan, wearing a light black hunting suit, looked around at the crowd and seemed a little melancholy.

At the same time, he attracted much attention at this banquet.

Although many people laughed at Nuoyan in the afternoon because of the theft incident, no one could ignore his current identity.

The young man, watched by the Queen Hera, will travel across the vast land of ancient Greece, looking for the bravest warriors in the world for the noble Queen, so that the warriors can gather in the Kingdom of Iolcus, and finally, under the watchful eyes of the gods, they will embark on the adventure of finding the Golden Fleece.

During the three months that it took to fulfill Athena's oracle, the news had already spread throughout the continent by bards.

And it was for this reason that Nuoyan had never been idle since he came to the banquet with Meleager.

The hunters gathered together and introduced themselves to Nuoyan, hoping to be taken seriously by Nuoyan.

What's more, some of them even proudly told Nuoyan that it would be an honor for Nuoyan to be on board, and they should accomplish great deeds under the watchful eyes of the gods and gain wealth and glory.

Even Atalanta came to the banquet and stayed quietly in a corner.

So after not staying for long, Nuoyan became bored.

In fact, Nuoyan's purpose of coming to the party tonight was to find Xiong.

The bear's name was - Orion!

That's right, it was the hero who was supposed to be summoned when the Heroic Spirits were summoned, but because of Artemis' love, he was eventually replaced by the moon goddess Artemis and appeared in the form of a strange creature (mascot) that was neither human nor animal.

And this guy is a champion!

Nuoyan was not familiar with him. To be more precise, they had never met each other. After all, Orion was not Chiron's student.

And in order to save Actaeon, Promise actually intended to find him and then sell him to Artemis.

Unfortunately, it seems that he didn't come...and to be honest, it's not clear whether Orion is a person of this era or not.

Then, as more and more people gathered around Nuoyan, the person who finally stepped forward to save the situation was unexpectedly Atalanta.

She scolded everyone harshly.

He also said that tomorrow night would be the hunting sacrifice watched by Artemis, so Artemis must be watching them now, asking them to be careful about their words and actions.

He also said that since they all felt that they were brave and powerful, then this hunting sacrifice was undoubtedly the best proof.

Only those who perform well in this hunting sacrifice are qualified to participate in the Golden Fleece adventure under the watchful eyes of the gods!

After saying this, Atalanta, unable to bear the atmosphere here any longer, turned and left.

The promise of being rescued was just when I breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a beautiful hunter lady! How happy the man who could marry her would be...right, Promise?"

Chapter 31 The goddess of fate is angry~

Hear what Meleager says.

Nuoyan couldn't help but turn around and look at the red-haired young man next to him.

Meleager was staring at Atalanta's beautiful back as she walked away, unable to take his eyes away.
