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

His eyes were full of admiration.

But I just felt speechless and even a little headache about this promise.

I don't object to beauty.

And if possible, I also want to have a good relationship with her. After all, she will be quite active in the future, and I don’t want to be kicked out by her in the future like Jason.

But Meleager, you really don't have this blessing, and because of her... you will die a miserable death in the future!

In the future, when Meleager held the Calydonian hunting sacrifice, since it was a sacrifice witnessed by the moon goddess Artemis, Atalanta, as Artemis' most loyal believer, naturally came to Calydon.

And Atalanta was the only woman in that hunting sacrifice.

Many heroes were dissatisfied with this, believing that such a sacred sacrifice should not be contaminated by a woman, but Meleager saved her against all odds.

Because at the first sight of Atalanta, Meleager fell in love with her.

Later, after hunting the beast, Meleager gave Atalanta the boar skin, which symbolized great honor, which caused dissatisfaction among his two uncles.

His two uncles planned to take the boar skin back from Atalanta, and in order to stop them from protecting Atalanta, Meleager finally took action and killed his two uncles with his own hands.

When his mother learned about this, and that his brother and younger brother had died at the hands of her own children, she was so sad and angry that she threw the wood that symbolized Meleager's life into the fire.

When the flames burned fiercely and set the whole room on fire, the mother heard the screams of her child in the flames and woke up. In the end, she was buried in the sea of ​​fire along with her child.

By the way, even so, Meleager still did not win Atalanta's heart because Atalanta had no idea what was happening.

Even at the end of everything, if you asked her who Meleager was, she would probably have to think for a while before she could remember.

so......

"So being a bootlicker has no future!"

Nuoyu patted Meleager on the shoulder earnestly, then looked around without paying any attention to Meleager's reaction.

He found that because of Atalanta's words, these people actually calmed down, but at the same time they also ignited greater fighting spirit!

Nuoyan was clearly here to save Actaeon, but I feel like Actaeon is now even more miserable because of Nuoyan...

Soon Nuoyan left the party,

After some inquiries, Nuoyan has confirmed that Orion is at least not in this area.

In this way, the idea of ​​using the bear as a sacrifice was undoubtedly ruined.

After all, the hunting sacrifice will come tomorrow night.

Just as Nuoyan was thinking about what to do next.

When he pushed open the door, he saw Clotho, the goddess of fate, wearing a white robe, sitting on a chair with her flawless jade feet dangling in the air in the room dimly illuminated by the moonlight.

She held in her arms the crystal ball that was specially filled with the fate of the promise, sat there quietly, and waited for the promise for a long time.

Looking at her, Nuoyan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, turned around, closed the door, and lit the candle in the room... Nuoyan was not surprised by her appearance.

And when the faint candlelight slightly illuminated the room in the dark night, illuminating Cloto's exquisite face and the white hair that fell from his white robe and hat.

"You surprised me, Promise."

In her gentle voice, which was trying to be serious, there was a hint of confusion as she said, "I thought you would tell your friend Meleager everything, or go directly to find the goddess Artemis, but... you don't seem to be planning to do that?"

"Because I know that telling Meleager the truth about Actaeon and the hunt will only make him suffer and will not change anything."

Nuoyan said as he walked to the opposite side of Kloto.

"Because he has his reasons for doing so. He must meet the goddess Artemis in order to save his country. As for why he doesn't go directly to meet the goddess Artemis...it's because I feel that is an even more wrong choice!

And was it you who sent Meleager here?"

After all, the timing of his arrival was undoubtedly too coincidental.

Facing Nuoyan's emerald eyes, Clotho was silent for a while before answering: "I led him here long before I met you, because this is his original destiny. He is the friend who is destined to kill Actaeon.

At the same time, he is the hero who will save Calydon in the future, under the watchful eyes of the goddess Artemis. "

"In other words, if I saved Actaeon and prevented Meleager from seeing Artemis because of this incident, but I could not get Artemis' forgiveness, would Calydon be destroyed?"

Nuoyan followed Cloto's train of thought and asked.

"That's right." Clotho nodded slightly, a slight smile on his face, and said: "Not only that, your feeling is right, you have no way to save Actaeon, even if you go to see the goddess Artemis now!

Since Actaeon hunted the golden-horned deer, the favorite of the goddess Artemis, which completely angered her, this hunt must have a result.

The goddess Artemis will never stop the hunting sacrifice until Actaeon has fully returned the suffering suffered by the golden-horned deer. "

"So, promise, now that you have witnessed the greatness of fate, do you... still want to fight against fate?"

After she finished speaking, she probably felt that she had finally demonstrated her dignity as the goddess of fate in front of Nuoyan.

Kloto, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't help but shake his little feet gently and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Nuoyan did not answer immediately.

He just tilted his head, and his clear emerald eyes looked out the window, looking far away.

In fact, Nuoyan knew that they should be looking at herself.

After all, the goddess of wisdom would never miss such an interesting thing.

And the goddess of justice, Themis, is probably there too.

If he wanted, the two gods might respond to him. Moreover, in this world of ancient Greek gods, it is not shameful to seek help from gods.

Seeing that Nuoyan didn't answer him, Kloto raised his head.

She had white eyes, and because she was the goddess of fate who controlled the future, she couldn't see everything in front of her, but she still guessed Nuoyan's thoughts.

"Are you wondering whether you should seek help from the goddess of wisdom, the goddess of justice, or the great queen of heaven?"

In response to Kroto's question, Nuoyan came back to his senses and looked at her and laughed.

He took another step forward and came in front of Kloto.

He squatted down, looking at the delicate goddess of fate in front of him under the dim light and the moonlight shining in from the window.

"I don't intend to do that. At the same time...I'm sorry, Goddess Clotho, I still have nothing to do but accept your kindness."

Nuoyan said to Cloto in a tone full of apology.

In fact, in Nuoyan's heart, he has a very good impression of Clotho.

Because in the Temple of Hera where they first met, Clotho, who had just appeared, helped Nuoyan a lot.

She told Hera that Nuoyan was the one who brought glory to Hera.

And even though it was Athena's request, Clotho has not yet told Queen Hera about the matter of Athena and Themis.

And even a few days ago, when Nuoyan made the choice to defy and fight against fate in front of her, Kroto was very angry and even made harsh words.

But in fact, she was still telling Nuoyan in a gentle way that fate cannot be violated, and let Nuoyan come before this destined fate and witness it with his own eyes.

And he even showed up today to advise him.

Clotho was silent.

Because of the hair of Athena tied on Nuoyan's hand, Clotho could not see what was really in Nuoyan's mind, but she could still hear the sincere apology in Nuoyan's words.

Therefore, she knew that Nuoyan was not looking down on her, so she naturally asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because on that day, when you appeared before me, I had already made my own choice in the face of fate."

Nuoyan replied: "And even if you give up once, what about the future?

I gave up Actaeon, but what about Meleager? Did I watch him beat his two uncles to death and then be killed by his mother?

"I gave up on them all, and in the end I watched Teacher Chiron, who had always taken care of me and was worried about me, die in pain?"

"......How do you know so many destinies?" Kloto couldn't help but ask again.

Nuoyan smiled and said, "This is also the reason why I didn't seek their help. They are kind and will undoubtedly respond to my prayers, but... this was the decision I made that day in the face of fate."

Just as Hercules chose virtue when faced with the gods of virtue and vice, and followed virtue from then on throughout his life without changing.

"So you choose to fight me your whole life?!"

Just as Cloto was about to act like he was very angry.

"No." Nuoyan smiled, interrupted her, and said: "I just want you, the goddess of fate, to see a better future...

Just like the goddess Aegina.

Although you came to blame me that day, Goddess Clotho, I know that you were actually happy for them in your heart...right?"

Kloto was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

When she finally came to her senses, she panicked and tried to look angry, retorting: "No, it's very troublesome to clean up the mess for you, I'm not happy at all!"

“And, and…and you’ve been contradicting me all the time, trying to change the fate that I control.

You always want to shame me, shame me as the goddess of fate!"

The promise is silent,

He smiled and stood up.

"Thank you, Goddess Clotho. I will complete this hunt... because you have told me that in order to appease the anger in the heart of Goddess Artemis, I must hunt Actaeon, who has been transformed into a giant deer."

Even if the opponents are those excellent hunters who gathered here because of Artemis' oracle.

Even among them, there was the hunter Meleager, who was a true graduate of the Centaur sage Chiron, and the beautiful hunter Atalanta, whose name would be known throughout ancient Greece in the future!

"Then I will go to see the goddess Artemis and ask her for forgiveness for Actaeon, and at the same time ask her for the right to hunt the wild boar of Calydon!"

Nuoyan looked at the stunned Kroto in front of him.

"I will do as you said that day and face the goddess Artemis, face her wrath, and at the same time... rewrite everything!"

Hearing this, Cloto was silent for a long time.

"Squat down."

She said.

Nuoyan blinked in confusion.

"Squat down!"

Nuoyan realized that Kloto was really angry at the moment, so he squatted down obediently.

Then the next second, Kloto reached out, pinched Nuoyan's face, and pinched it twice with great force!

After doing all this, Cloto jumped off the chair, holding the crystal ball in his arms and prepared to leave angrily.

But halfway through the walk, she suddenly seemed to think of something and hesitated for a moment.

So he ran back and put the crystal ball aside.

Under Nuoyan's gaze, he took out a golden apple from his arms and put it into his hand.

"Here you go, you nasty fellow!"

After saying that, he left angrily holding the crystal ball containing his promise and destiny.

And all this is just as promised at the beginning.

He was being spied on by the goddess who had been watching him in secret.

And under the stars in the dark night, he chuckled like a silver bell.

Chapter 32: The hunting sacrifice witnessed by the gods begins!

The next day,

into the night.

The moon goddess Artemis gave an oracle that the time for hunting in the ancient forest had arrived.

In ancient Greek mythology, Nyx, the goddess of night, drove the chariot of night from the underworld to the human world and cast the curtain of night into the sky.

The moon goddess Artemis hung a full moon in the sky, and today's moonlight was obviously much brighter than usual, covering the earth in the dark night with a layer of silver frost.

Since yesterday's banquet lasted for a long time, the hunters chose to rest at home during the day today, and only gathered together again when night gradually fell.

They set out from the town in a mighty procession, with torches lit and accompanied by hounds.

Nuoyan was also among them, but he was at the end.
