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

He was wearing his black hunting suit and carrying a bow that Meleager had found for him these two days, a bow that even the ancient Greek female hunters thought was too light.

After all, he had previously used the special bow and arrow made for him by Chiron to sacrifice to the Queen of Heaven Hera in the kingdom of the river goddess Aegina.

At the same time, Nuoyan was carrying a silver harp, which he had specially bought in the small town during the day.

And it will be the key to determining whether the hunt tonight is successful!

The moonlight shone on Nuoyan's soft black hair. He followed the crowd quietly, his emerald green pupils were clear and bright.

"You shouldn't be taking part in this hunt."

At this moment, a cold female voice suddenly came from the side.

Nuoyan subconsciously turned his head and found that Atalanta had actually come to his side!

Nuoyan was slightly stunned, because he knew that Atalanta hated men.

Moreover, Atalanta had no regard for any of the Greek warriors who behaved more violently than necessary even in hunting and who regarded fighting as an offering to the gods and ravaging others.

She was the most devout believer of the moon goddess Artemis...or to be exact, Atalanta had always been one until her faith collapsed.

Atalanta even swore to Artemis early on that she would devote her whole life to Artemis and her life would be the same as Artemis.

Never marry, stay pure.

The reason was Atalanta's life experience.

In fact, she is an orphan abandoned by her parents.

She grew up in a kingdom called Arcadia, and she was the princess of that kingdom. She should have had a happy and exciting life, but because she was not a boy but a girl, her biological father, who had always had high expectations for her, was furious.

Eventually, she was abandoned in the snowy forest in winter when she was just born.

And all this happened to be seen by the moon goddess Artemis.

The moon goddess Artemis saw that Atalanta was adorable and could not bear to see her die like this, so she picked her up and fed her with the milk of a mother bear until she grew up.

Therefore, Atalanta's belief in Artemis was not only devout, but even fanatical... Although in the future, after seeing the truest side of the so-called pure virgin goddess Artemis, her faith was shattered to pieces.

At the same time, because of this, Atalanta loves children very much. Even the reason why she participates in the Holy Grail War in the future is that she wants to create a world where all abandoned children can be happy.

"This hunt is actually very dangerous..." Atalanta looked at the delicate young man in front of her with her cyan eyes and couldn't help but persuade him, "You still have a chance, quit now, otherwise you may die in vain in this hunting sacrifice!"

Nuoyan blinked and looked at the beautiful female hunter in emerald green clothes in front of him. Although she was not as delicate and gorgeous as a princess, her wild beauty made her more eye-catching.

Nuoyan looked at her, and then looked at himself.

Then a look of realization flashed in his eyes.

He understood why Atalanta suddenly spoke to him.

Indeed, he had a physique that was so severe that the goddesses of the ancient Greek gods could not help but stuff golden apples into his mouth, and even the fellow disciples of the Centaur sage Chiron begged him to stay alive.

Anyone who sees this will be confused.

What's more, although Atalanta looks cold and difficult to get along with, she is actually a very good woman.

"Why is it dangerous?" Nuoyan asked Atalanta curiously, "Isn't this just a simple hunt?"

Atalanta was silent for a while after hearing this, then she looked up at the beautiful full moon tonight, and then tilted her head to look into the distance at the dark and gloomy ancient forest under the full moon.

"Feeling." Atalanta replied calmly.

To be honest, she didn't expect Nuoyan to believe her. After all, she herself was a little confused as to why she felt that this trip was dangerous when she was clearly just hunting a giant deer that was not aggressive at all.

As for the ancient forest at night, it is the most familiar home for an excellent hunter like Atalanta.

But upon hearing this, Nuoyan frowned, and soon a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes... After all, Nuoyan has never forgotten that this world is Type-Moon!

His true identity is a magic apprentice in the future clock tower.

Therefore, Nuoyan thought of one thing. The students who graduated from Chiron were cursed by the moon goddess Artemis and turned into giant deer...

Is it possible that Actaeon will turn into a monster like the Minotaur?

After thinking for a while, Nuoyan nodded slightly and smiled at Atalanta, "Thank you."

However, this pure gratitude made Atalanta so surprised that she was stunned and even stopped where she was.

After coming back to her senses after a while, Atalanta quickly stepped forward and looked at Nuoyan again.

After a look, looking at the young boy in front of him who probably couldn't even pull his own bow, he couldn't help but shake his head again and said, "You are really not suitable to participate in this hunting sacrifice... Although I don't know why the great queen chose you, since you believe that this hunt is very dangerous.

Then quit now while there is still time!"

As she spoke, Atalanta couldn't help but glance at the harp that Nuoyan was carrying.

Who is a serious hunter who brings musical instruments when hunting?

But...you're right.

Looking at the musical instrument, and then looking at the young man in front of him, who has nothing to do with hunters or heroes, but is adorned with artistic atmosphere. Even if he is only wearing an ordinary black hunting suit, it cannot conceal his unique temperament.

Atalanta found herself actually looking forward to the moment when he would play the harp.

Because she thought the sound of the piano must be very nice.

"No, thank you for your kindness, but... beautiful Miss Hunter, you actually heard the news conveyed by those thieves yesterday, right?"

Nuoyan winked at Atalanta and said with a smile: "My goal is to become the most dazzling hero in this world.

So how could I possibly escape from this hunting sacrifice under the watchful eyes of the goddess Artemis?"

It would be better if the promise was not kept.

Atalanta wanted to laugh when she heard this.

She really could not forget what those thieves said when they ran out to intercept her and she was about to draw her bow and shoot arrows.

Also, that look of despair on his face...

It really gave Atalanta a great shock at that time!

"Whatever you want, anyway... this hunting sacrifice will be over soon!"

Atalanta raised her head proudly while trying to maintain her expression, and said, "Because I will definitely win. Under the gaze of the beautiful and noble goddess Artemis, there is no possibility of failure for me!"

After saying this, Atalanta no longer cared about the promise and turned to the front.

But halfway through, she suddenly stopped again. After hesitating for a while, she turned around and looked at Nuoyan with her holy blue eyes again, saying: "Atalanta... This is my name."

Nuoyan was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, nodded and replied: "Well, hello Miss Atalanta, my name is Nuoyan."

"I know. I've heard it from the thief, the guy who dreams of becoming a hero!" After saying that, Atalanta, who could no longer hold back a smile on her face, turned around and left proudly.

But she had just left, and Nuoyan hadn't had time to feel that his surroundings were quiet.

"What did she say to you just now? What did you talk about just now? Why did she look so happy? She even smiled at you. By the way, did you see that? She is so beautiful when she smiles!"

Meleager, smelling the scent, came over.

He looked at Nuoyan with a nervous face.

Nuoyan was speechless, then rolled his eyes and said, "She said you are handsome!"

After saying this, Nuoyan no longer paid attention to Meleager, who was ecstatic and excited after a brief moment of shock.

In this way, after a period of time,

The people who had gathered here for Artemis' hunting sacrifice finally arrived at their destination.

They extinguished the torches in their hands, looked at each other, and then each took his hunting dog and bow and arrow and disappeared into the woods.

After all, everyone knew at this moment that the beautiful moon goddess Artemis was watching them, and the full moon in the sky was the best proof!

Before entering, Atalanta turned her head to look at Nuoyan.

After seeing Meleager beside Nuoyan, he said nothing more. He took a few steps to the tree, shuttled through the tree, and disappeared lightly into the ancient forest.

The promise would follow Meleager.

Not only Atalanta thought so, almost everyone present felt so.

After all, looking at him, no one thought that he could win in this hunting sacrifice under the watchful eyes of the gods. They all thought that he was here to select powerful hunters and invite the winner of this sacrifice to go on the adventure of the Golden Fleece.

but......

"You said you want to act alone?"

The red-haired young man Meleager looked at Nuoyan in surprise.

"Well... I said others don't know, but what's with that expression on your face?" Nuoyan said helplessly: "You forgot that some of the hunting techniques were taught to me by you. It's not like I really don't know anything!"

In terms of skills, there is really no big problem with Nuoyan, but...

"But you can't even draw a normal bow!"

Nuoyan narrowed his eyes when he heard that, turned around and took out the small notebook of grudges from the luggage he was carrying.

"Hey, wait, don't, please don't!" Seeing that Nuoyan was pretending to hold a grudge again, Meleager hurriedly stopped him.

"I didn't say I couldn't agree to your request... But why do you suddenly want to act alone?"

Nuoyan glanced at Meleager, thought for a moment, and said, "This is a hunting sacrifice under the watchful eye of the goddess Artemis. Only one winner can reach her, and... Meleager, don't you still want to save your homeland?"

Hearing this, Meleager was stunned, looked at Nuoyan in front of him for a while, and said hesitantly: "But you..."

"Don't worry, you won't die." Nuoyan put away the little notebook and said, "I promised Jason that I would accompany him on the journey to find the Golden Fleece.

And I also promised the great Queen Hera to gather all the warriors in the world to join us.

So before that, I will no longer be so determined to die... After all, although I have been begging for death, you also know that even if I want to die, I must die gloriously on the road of a hero!"

After hearing the answer to the promise, Meleager remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Nuoyan seriously and said, "Thank you!"

"What are you talking about? Go away, you're disgusting!"

Hearing this, Meleager could not help but smile. He stopped being pretentious and turned around and ran at full speed. Soon he disappeared from Nuoyan's sight.

When he disappeared, Nuoyan stood there quietly.

After a few more minutes, Nuoyan finally confirmed that he was the only one left here.

He raised his head, his emerald green eyes gazing at the bright full moon in the sky.

Then he turned and entered the woods.

The hunting sacrifice under the witness of the gods now officially begins!

Chapter 33: The Sound of the Qin in the Hunting Sacrifice

"Is he the kid you're eyeing?"

Under the starry night, when the hunting sacrifice officially began, what Nuoyan didn't know was that it was actually the moment he arrived here.

He had already been seen by the moon goddess Artemis.

To be more precise, there are three goddesses.

The three beautiful goddesses gathered together in the deepest part of the ancient forest, the holy place of the moon goddess Artemis, in a pavilion beside the lake lit by the moonlight.

The one who spoke at this time was the moon goddess Artemis.

The clear lake water reflected her beautiful figure. Artemis, wearing a long skirt, was lazily lying on her beloved golden-horned deer.

Her waist-length silver hair was scattered, and her sky-blue eyes looked towards Nuoyan through the full moon in the sky.

With just one glance, Artemis discovered and recognized him. After all, the marks left by Hera, Athena and the goddess of justice on Nuoyan's body were really too dazzling in the eyes of the gods.

"That's right." Athena, who was sitting in the pavilion beside the lake, blinked her beautiful golden eyes and said with a smug smile, "What do you think? It's a very cute child, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Artemis tilted her head and looked at Athena in confusion.

I don't know why this goddess of wisdom is so similar to Hera, the goddess who captured her and showed off to her...

Hey, isn’t that child a follower of Hera?

Artemis tilted her head slightly to think about it, but the next second she felt very tired and stopped thinking. She continued to lie on the prone golden-horned deer and said, "But he looks so weak. How could he come to me?"

"No, he will come." The one who answered Artemis was the last of the three goddesses.
