When he raised his head and met Atalanta's eyes, Atalanta even subconsciously straightened her body... At this moment, she only felt that his clear emerald eyes were so beautiful, like the dazzling stars in the sky.
Nuoyan stood up and bowed to Artemis without saying a word.
Finally, he lowered his head and looked at the monster that was sitting quietly, with bloodshot eyes and a body emitting the stench of blood.
Actaeon was completely relaxed at this moment. He even felt that it was a great honor to be able to hear this art that was comparable to the performance of gods at the last moment.
By the way, I can also give him a great opportunity to become a hero...
But that guy Meleager is really something. He actually dared to run around with his promise. Isn’t he afraid of being beaten to death by Teacher Chiron?
With such thoughts in mind, and fearing that his scarlet eyes would scare Nuo Yan, Actaeon closed his eyes again and quietly waited for death to come.
Then, he heard the sound of Nuoyan coming down from the huge rock mountain, and also heard him coming in front of him, and the sound as if he was searching for something.
Finally, under Atalanta's puzzled gaze, Nuoyan took out the little notebook for revenge.
He opened it and said, "Actaeon, here I come."
The moment the words fell, Actaeon suddenly opened his eyes, looked up, and stared at the promise in front of him in astonishment.
I looked at him and said to myself with a serious expression.
"Because you didn't take me down the mountain, and you lied to me to wait for you at the foot of the mountain, but in the end it was Teacher Chiron who came, so... I came to seek revenge!"
When the promise is made with all seriousness,
Atalanta was completely stunned.
This guy, what is he talking about? This is!
at the same time......
"Pfft...Hahahaha." Artemis couldn't help but covered her mouth with her hands and let out a pleasant chuckle.
Actaeon also stared at Nuoyan for a while, and then... tears could no longer be suppressed and flowed out.
He reached out and grabbed Nuoyan, crying loudly on him.
I wanted to tell him about my pain, but I could only utter low animal language.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't rub against me, it's dirty. And be gentle, let me go, let me go quickly, it hurts, it hurts, I'm going to die, I'm really going to die!"
After a while,
Nuoyan kicked Actaeon away with disgust on his face. He was almost strangled to death by this guy who turned into a monster!
Then he tidied himself up before respectfully coming before Artemis.
"The beautiful and kind goddess Artemis, the student of the Centaur sage Chiron, it is an honor to meet you, the noble one."
Seeing this, Atalanta nodded in satisfaction.
That's right, we must respect and worship the great goddess Artemis...
Wait a minute!
Atalanta was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned her head to look at Artemis.
Goddess Artemis?!
Yes, this is really the goddess Artemis!
In a flash, Atalanta stood together with Nuoyan the next second, and saluted Artemis more respectfully and hurriedly. However, she never expected that she bumped into Nuoyan because she was too flustered. She was fine, but Nuoyan was knocked to the ground by her.
"You are too delicate!" Seeing this, even though the goddess Artemis was right in front of her, Atalanta couldn't help but say to Nuoyan.
Nuoyan fell to the ground and couldn't help rolling his eyes at Atalanta when he heard this.
Artemis, who was watching this scene, laughed like a silver bell again, and under Atalanta's incredulous gaze, she stepped forward, stretched out her hand and gently pulled Nuoyan up.
By the way, he also touched Nuoyan's head.
She looked at him, nodded slightly, and said softly with a smile: "Well, it is indeed a very cute child, just like Athena said!"
Chapter 35: The smell of Athena is too strong!
Artemis is gone.
In fact, even Athena was a little surprised about this.
After all, they had just made a bet, and the content of the bet was the promise that the hunt could not be completed.
Therefore, Athena even thought that when Actaeon, who was cursed and turned into a giant deer, came to the promise, she should look at Artemis more.
Because Artemis, who doesn't want to lose and is unwilling to accept defeat, might take action.
But what made Athena speechless was that Artemis did exactly as she expected, but she did not hinder her promise. On the contrary, she pressed down the arrow that Atalanta was about to shoot and helped the young man.
The reason is very simple. When Nuoyan deliberately ate the golden apple, he adjusted his body to the best condition and forgot everything. At that moment, there was only the piano in his hand, and he played the sound of the piano that seemed to be kissed passionately by the goddess of art, and the ancient forest in the middle of the night, as well as the animals and nymphs in the forest, accompanied him.
Artemis, the moon goddess, saw all this in her beautiful blue eyes, and had only one thought in her mind.
It's such a pity to destroy this beautiful scene!
So she went down and stopped Atalanta who was about to shoot the arrow, and brought her lovely believer to appreciate this special hunt together.
At this moment, Artemis probably forgot the purpose of holding this hunting sacrifice, and also forgot the bet with Athena.
So Artemis touched Nuoyan's head, looked at the weak boy in front of her, and very naturally expressed the truest thoughts in her heart at the moment.
"Yeah, it's just as cute as Athena said!"
When Atalanta heard the name Athena from Artemis' mouth, even Actaeon, who was so scared that he didn't dare to come over, were stunned.
Nuoyan's expression didn't change at all. After all, he knew from the beginning what was going on between him and the goddess of fate, Clotho. The goddess of fun, whom he had already labeled a "pleasure monster", would definitely not let him go!
"Thank you, Goddess Artemis..." Nuoyan was answering honestly when he suddenly felt something rubbing against him. He subconsciously turned his head and saw that it was a very beautiful deer.
Looking at it, Actaeon on the side widened his eyes instantly. It was obvious that it was the prey that Actaeon had hunted that day, Artemis' favorite golden-horned deer!
"Hey, I rarely see it being so close to others." Artemis blinked gently, then squatted down and gently stroked the golden-horned deer, and said to Nuoyan with a smile: "It seems that it likes you very much."
Atalanta on the side couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw this. After all, the goddess she worshipped and admired was now praising others in front of her!
But seeing how happy Artemis was, Atalanta didn't want to disturb her, so she naturally turned her gaze to Actaeon who didn't dare to speak.
Looking at the monster in front of him, the target of this hunting sacrifice.
Atalanta, thinking of winning back the goddess' favor from Nuoyan and also worried that it would hurt the goddess, naturally drew the bow again and aimed the arrow at it.
"Wait, Atalanta!"
Seeing this, Nuoyan hurried forward and stood in front of Actaeon.
At this point, Artemis finally set her sights on Actaeon, and the gentle smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Especially when the golden-horned deer, who also saw Actaeon and looked at him, was so scared that he subconsciously hid behind Artemis, Artemis's gaze towards Actaeon became even colder.
Atalanta was not stupid. She looked at Nuoyan who was standing in front of the monster and thought about his strange interaction with the monster just now... He took out a small notebook and shouted loudly about revenge, words she could not understand at all.
And there was this monster that suddenly and recklessly came to Nuoyan.
Then he realized that Nuoyan knew this monster.
After hesitating for a moment, Atalanta put down the arrow in her hand, and then she remembered that Meleager and others had come with her to participate in the hunting sacrifice, so she turned around and looked behind her.
But he was puzzled to find that at this moment, not only could he not see the torches they lit, he couldn't even hear their noisy noise.
Just like this place, isolated.
Seeing Atalanta put down her bow and arrow, Nuoyan did not feel relieved, because he immediately discovered that Artemis had changed greatly from the gentle goddess just now.
The look in her eyes now was as if she had caught a man cheating and was about to pull out a bow and arrow to shoot the man in front of her in the next second.
Facing that cold gaze, even though it was not directed at him, Nuoyan couldn't help swallowing.
To be honest, Nuoyan has always been a little afraid of the moon goddess Artemis. It’s not that he was afraid of dying at her hands, but he was afraid of being remembered by her.
That's much more terrifying than death!
Having one virgin goddess is already troublesome enough, adding another one will be too much!
But whether it was the choice for Clotho, the goddess of fate, or for Meleager and Actaeon, Nuoyan had to bite the bullet and stand in front of her.
So after taking a deep breath, Nuoyan said to Artemis: "Beautiful goddess Artemis, may I ask if I won this hunting sacrifice?"
Atalanta, who was wondering why those people suddenly disappeared, couldn't help but look back at Nuoyan after hearing this, and frowned and said: "What are you talking about..."
"Yeah." Artemis nodded lightly, quite happily, and replied, "You win."
Although he did make a bet with Athena, there was nothing to bet on after all. And no matter the reactions of Qin and the golden-horned deer just now, Artemis now has a very good impression of Nuoyan.
Therefore, Artemis, who didn't care who won or lost, naturally didn't mind giving the fruits of victory to Nuoyan.
But Atalanta on the side naturally refused to do so.
Therefore, even though the person in front of her was Artemis, whom she admired the most, Atalanta could not help but retort anxiously: "Wait a minute, Goddess Artemis, this, this... Nuoyan didn't go hunting at all!"
"No, the child has already gone hunting, and the hunt was successful." After turning her gaze to Atalanta, Artemis's eyes softened again and she said, "And didn't you just witness it with your own eyes?"
"Hunting?" Atalanta recalled the scene just now, and said with eyes wide open dully: "What just now... is called hunting?!"
"That's right." Perhaps seeing his reaction from Atalanta, Artemis couldn't help laughing again and said, "How is it? It's a very interesting hunt!"
Atalanta was silent.
She only felt that her cognition was refreshed at this moment.
But Atalanta recalled the scene just now, where the monster came and sat in front of Nuoyan, closed his eyes and listened to the music, while seeming to be waiting for death.
She found herself unable to refute for a moment.
But doesn’t this mean that I lost and the hunt failed?
And most importantly, the hunt failed in front of the goddess Artemis? !
When Atalanta noticed this, as Artemis' most devout believer, she was so ashamed and angry that she even wanted to commit suicide.
So after coming back to his senses, he glared at Nuoyan fiercely.
If Artemis hadn't been here right now, Atalanta, feeling extremely humiliated, would have probably pounced on Nuoyan.
And having received the promise of an answer from Artemis, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief again, and asked Artemis: "If so, then it means that I can ask the noble and beautiful goddess Artemis for a gift, right?"
"Of course." Artemis nodded and said, "After all, this is what I promised, so the gift you want is..."
As she was speaking, Artemis suddenly paused.
He tilted his head slightly, pretending to listen.
While listening, he looked at Nuoyan and moved his lips slightly, as if he was talking to someone.
After a while, when Nuoyan gradually felt something was wrong, Artemis, who had just finished the conversation, laughed again.
With an amused look on his face, he turned his head to look at Nuoyan, blinked his eyes and said, "So this is why you participated in the hunting sacrifice. It seems very interesting!
In that case, yes, I can promise you that even though I hate him, because you are cute and the hunt tonight was wonderful, I can choose to forgive the sinner behind you.
but......
I only promise to give one gift for this hunt!"
At this point, Artemis even clapped her hands happily before continuing to say to Nuoyan: "So between Actaeon and Meleager, my dear child, you can only choose one!"
The moment he heard it, Nuoyan understood.
The person who just talked to Artemis must be the goddess of wisdom, Athena.
After all, such multiple-choice questions can only be said to have too strong a Athena flavor!
Chapter 36: Nuoyan completes his own 'revenge'
At the end of the hunting sacrifice, the moon goddess Artemis will bestow a gift.
But, only this one.
So is it Actaeon, who was transformed into a monster by the curse, or Meleager, who was burdened with the destiny of saving his kingdom?
There is no doubt that fate has once again come to the rescue of the promise.
So everyone turned their attention to him, even the goddess of fate pricked up her ears out of curiosity.
"In that case, please ask the great goddess Artemis to grant us a brand new hunting sacrifice."
