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

To everyone's surprise, facing this fateful decision, Nuoyan did not hesitate for too long and gave an answer, saying: "Please grant us the honor of killing the Calydonian Boar!"

"...Aren't you joining this hunt to save him?" Perhaps because Nuoyan's answer was too straightforward, the moon goddess Artemis paused for a while before she couldn't help but point at Actaeon and asked.

Upon hearing this, Actaeon was stunned and looked at Nuoyan with disbelief.

"That's right." Nuoyan nodded and admitted to Artemis: "This is indeed my purpose. After all, this is also the choice I made in front of the goddess of fate."

Atalanta, who was watching the whole situation from the side, couldn't help but tilt her head, her face full of confusion, because she found that she couldn't understand anything at all.

After all, Atalanta still doesn't know what happened.

Artemis, who happened to see her reaction, couldn't help but burst out laughing. He reached out and rubbed Atalanta's face before she could react, and said with a smile: "Hehe, little Atalanta, your expression is so cute now."

"Ah, Goddess Artemis?!" Atalanta first opened her eyes wide, her body stiff and she dared not move, and then her face showed deep happiness and satisfaction.

And at this moment,

"The goddess of fate sent down an oracle, telling a weak boy named Actaeon and Meleager their destined future."

A gentle voice sounded, and the goddess who had been watching silently at this moment finally came onto the stage again.

She appeared from the moonlight, with her long silver hair loose, shining like the Milky Way under the full moon.

"The moon goddess Artemis cursed Actaeon, who was hunting her golden-horned deer, and he turned into a monster, and was about to die at the hands of his unsuspecting friend Meleager.

Meleager will use this to come before the moon goddess Artemis and pray for her blessing to save his country.

Athena's golden eyes looked helplessly at Artemis, who was stroking Tamao at the moment. She actually didn't want to show up now, but she found that Artemis was really not suitable for this.

Because Athena clearly told Artemis all the steps, but Artemis still made everything a mess.

"But the future that finally awaits Meleager is not a happy one. The flames will burn everything he has, and he will die at the hands of his beloved mother!"

"So, the weak boy knew all this, and at the same time, he was actually a friend of Actaeon and Meleager. They had spent an unforgettable time together under the guidance of the Centaur wise Chiron."

"So on that day, in front of the goddess of fate, he made a choice to the goddess. Even if the future was destined, he... still wanted to change it all!"

At this moment, Actaeon and Atalanta's eyes naturally fell on Athena who was walking slowly towards them.

They listened to the story and watched her smile gently as she walked towards her promise.

"Because he didn't want to see his friends killing each other, and he also didn't want to see his friends die tragically like that..."

Athena came to Nuoyan, smiled, and reached out to touch Nuoyan's head.

"Even though he was so weak that he could be blown down by a gust of wind, he finally completed the almost impossible hunt, and at this moment... he finally stood in front of the goddess!"

Athena's golden eyes stared at the promise that was now looking at her quietly.

"But the goddess only promised one gift, and the young man finally made his choice, begging the goddess to turn her gaze to Calydon and bestow new blessings on the place she had abandoned.

But... in this case, what about Actaeon, the cursed man?"

"Have you given up on him?" Athena asked with a smile.

"Of course not." Nuoyan shook his head, "Because I have made a promise to the goddess of fate that I will let her see a better future."

"Then, what are you going to do?" Athena continued to ask, taking away the hand that was touching Nuoyan and stepping aside at this time.

Nuoyan then looked at Artemis, took a deep breath, and came to her and said to her: "Beautiful goddess Artemis, I know that my friend Actaeon has done something that you cannot forgive, and everything he has done so far is what he deserves, so I will not make excuses for him in this matter.

But I think he now realizes that and regrets it.”

When Nuoyan said this, Actaeon, who was still in shock and looking at Nuoyan stupidly, suddenly felt his throat very itchy.

He couldn't help but coughing twice, and the next moment he was surprised to find that he could actually speak!

Actaeon was not a fool. After a brief moment of daze, he immediately looked at Athena, then quickly stood up, came to Nuoyan's side, bowed his head, and said to Artemis in regret: "Yes, beautiful and kind goddess Artemis, I regret my reckless behavior all the time.

Especially now, knowing that I have brought such a big trouble to Nuoyan, I feel so ashamed that I even feel I have no face to live in this world anymore..."

Actaeon was really ashamed, so he even thought about dying here again.

"What are you talking about, Actaeon? I have already made a promise to the goddess of fate that neither you nor Meleager will die. I said so!"

But before he could finish his words, Nuoyan interrupted him angrily.

Nuoyan turned to look at Artemis again and said, "Beautiful goddess Artemis, although I have made my choice, just as I answered the goddess of wisdom Athena, I don't want to see my friend die in front of me.

The reason why I chose Meleager is actually because I understand one thing, that is, I need to take responsibility for the wrong things I have done, so I hope that the goddess Artemis can give him a chance to atone for his sins.

Also...remember what I said at the beginning?"

Nuoyan took out the little notebook from his body again.

He looked at Atalanta and Artemis, then Athena beside him, and finally at Actaeon, and said with a smile: "I am here to seek revenge!

Actaeon: I have not yet taken vengeance on you, so how can I allow you to die like this?

So, beautiful goddess Artemis, please grant me the opportunity to take revenge on Actaeon!"

"How do you want revenge?" Hearing this, Artemis looked at Nuoyan with interest.

"Under the watchful eyes of the great Queen of Heaven, Jason and I will embark on an adventure to find the Golden Fleece." Promise replied: "It is an unknown adventure full of countless dangers, but at the same time, it is undoubtedly a great adventure!"

“The reason I came here is to find the crew, so Actaeon’s power is necessary for me.

As for the punishment..."

As he said this, Nuoyan took a look at Actaeon's current appearance and couldn't help but laugh: "I think he looks pretty good now!

So, Goddess Artemis, let him accompany me on the adventure like this!

At the same time, I will tell the world that he is your messenger, the goddess Artemis. You love the world so much that you let him come to us and help us complete that grand adventure.

And in the end, when we return with glory, kind goddess Artemis, please return his name to him and let the man named Actaeon return to the world again! "

When Nuoyan finished speaking, even Atalanta who was standing beside him had completely understood Nuoyan's thoughts.

So she looked at the goddess she loved and said, "Goddess Artemis I think this is...inappropriate!"

After that, Atalanta walked a few steps to Nuoyan's side, pointed at Actaeon, and said to Artemis who tilted her head: "Because I can't judge whether he can complete the great mission and bring back the glory in the end, so goddess Artemis, please allow me to go with him. During the adventure, I will always supervise him and restrain him.

And finally bring that glory back to you, Goddess Artemis!"

Nuoyan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Atalanta with gratitude.

Seeing this, Atalanta turned her head away with a proud look on her face and didn't look at him.

After all, she did not forget that at tonight's hunting sacrifice in front of the goddess Artemis, Nuo Yan defeated her and brought shame to her in front of the most beloved goddess!

But even so, now that she knew everything from the goddess of wisdom Athena, Atalanta still chose to stand by Nuoyan.

At this moment, Artemis suddenly found that her clothes were gently pulled. She lowered her head in confusion and found that it was the golden-horned deer biting her clothes.

When it noticed that Artemis was looking at it, the golden-horned deer walked towards Actaeon. Although it hesitated for a while on the way, it finally came to Actaeon's side and licked Actaeon's dull cheek with its tongue.

So at this moment, the look of the moon goddess Artemis towards Actaeon finally softened.

"Then are you willing to agree?" Artemis asked Actaeon.

Actaeon looked up at her in disbelief, then looked at Nuoyan again, and finally lowered his head again, his eyes red as he said, "Of course! Good goddess Artemis, I will return with glory for you!"

"Okay." Artemis smiled and looked at Nuoyan, saying, "Then I will agree to your promise, little Nuoyan, and let you complete your lovely revenge!"

At this moment, when Nuoyan finally heard these words from Artemis' mouth, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Just when he couldn't help laughing, he suddenly felt something on his face. He turned his head subconsciously and saw Athena beside him.

Her beautiful golden eyes were reflecting the moonlight, revealing the image of Nuo Yan.

And with his white fingers, he gently poked Nuoyan's tender cheek.

When I saw Nuoyan finally turn his head and look at me.

Under Nuoyan's doubtful gaze, his heart skipped a beat and a sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.

Athena winked at the promise adorably.

The corners of the mouth rise a little bit!

...No, goddess of wisdom, what do you want to do now!

Chapter 37 Hera: That child Nuoyan must have been waiting for me, right?

Deep in the silent ancient forest, beside the clear little pond.

At Artemis' request, Nuoyan sat on the boulder again, his fingers dancing lightly on the silver harp, playing the quiet music that was like a clear spring caressing the soul and cleansing the body and mind.

And the curtain fell on this long night of tonight.

When the next morning dawned, the sun god Helios drove the sun's chariot and exchanged the night with the night goddess Nyx, shining the dawn light on the world.

The goddess of wisdom Athena and the moon goddess Artemis had already left, leaving only a brand new golden apple quietly placed next to Nuoyan.

Thus, tonight's hunting sacrifice finally came to an end with the promised victory.

He also fulfilled his promise to Clotho, the goddess of fate, and exchanged "revenge" for the redemption of Actaeon, who had turned into a monster.

The gift of the Calydonian hunt was promised to Artemis, the goddess of the moon.

This should be the end of the matter. The Heroic Legend column of the Heroic Class Card will have another brilliant addition, and the quality of the Heroic will be improved again, right?

However, not yet.

Because of what the goddess of wisdom Athena said yesterday, this story has been continued again.

“Promise that you will seek revenge on Actaeon and exchange victory in this sacrificial hunt tonight for the gift of the Calydonian boar hunt.

But because of this, the person who completes the hunt can no longer be your friend Meleager, but only you.

Now only you can complete the hunt under Artemis' witness!"

The goddess of wisdom naturally remembered the oath she made with the young man.

Because of the painting that Nuoyan presented to her, Athena will witness Nuoyan become the brightest star of this era, and after that, give Nuoyan an ending that shocks the whole world.

But the prerequisite for the ending is that the promise has already become the dazzling star of this era.

So the purpose of her saying this was obvious, which was to let Nuoyan get the honor of hunting the Calydonian boar.

But the problem is, how can a weak boy complete the hunt for the Calydonian boar, a monster as tall as a hill?

Nuoyan put down the harp in his hand,

The clear emerald green eyes looked at Atalanta, who had fallen asleep against a tree at some point last night, and Actaeon, who had also fallen asleep beside a stone and turned into a giant deer monster.

Nuoyan smiled.

He gently got down from the stone and took the golden apple that Athena left for him.

Although he had not slept all night, Nuoyan's eyes were bright and he did not feel tired at all because of the golden apple he had eaten last night. After tidying himself up a little and trying his best not to make any noise, Nuoyan tiptoed to leave.

Who knew that he had just walked past Atalanta.

"Where are you going?" Atalanta leaned against the tree, opened her holy blue eyes, and looked at Nuoyan with her arms clasped across her chest.

Seeing Atalanta awake, Nuoyan couldn't help but blink, then thought that she knew everything last night, so he didn't hide anything and replied: "Go see the old river god Asopus... The goddess of wisdom told me that he can help me complete the hunt for the Calydonian boar!"

That’s right, this is also the new oracle left for promise by Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

And the old river god Asopus was actually not a stranger. He was the old river god Asopus who chased Zeus who took away his daughter Aegina and turned into an eagle, and was eventually struck by lightning and became lame by the ashamed and angry Zeus.

The weak promise obviously did not have the power to hunt the Calydonian boar. After all, the monster was as tall as a mountain. In the original legend, Meleager had to summon a large number of heroes to successfully defeat it.

Hercules, Theseus and Jason all participated in the hunt for the Calydonian boar according to legend.

After hearing this, Atalanta thought for a moment and asked Nuoyan, "Why don't you go meet Meleager and the others first... Last night's hunting sacrifice ended because of you, but they didn't know about this, so they must still be confused now, right?"

“No.” Nuoyan shook his head and replied, “If Meleager knew that I was seeking a gift from the goddess Artemis, he would feel guilty about it and might not let me leave, and he would not watch me take risks… I don’t want to be tied up by him and sent to Teacher Chiron.”

When Atalanta heard this, she naturally thought of the revenge promised last night, so she couldn't help laughing.

Then she stood up, gathered up her light yellow hair that had fallen on her body, and said, "What on earth did you do that made them unwilling to take you down the mountain?"

"Well...it's nothing." After thinking for a while, Nuoyan answered calmly, "I just want to be a hero."

Atalanta nodded, she already understood this very clearly.

"And my dream is to become a hero, die gloriously, leave behind a magnificent legend, and let the world sing my story!"

"...Say it again?" Atalanta opened her eyes wide, looking at Nuoyan in surprise, as if asking if she had heard it wrong.

"Why do you all react like this?" Nuoyan was speechless when he saw this.

He remembered that Athena had the same reaction.
