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

Athena still had a smile on her face when she heard this, because she had guessed that Nuoyan would say this, and this was one of the reasons why she came to see Nuoyan tonight.

"It's okay, because when you catch the silver meteor, this trial will be over."

Athena replied softly to Nuoyan: "Whether it is the hunting of the Calydonian boar or your bet with Clotho, the goddess of fate, they have already come to an end... You have already won, Nuoyan."

"......Huh?" Upon hearing this, Nuoyan was naturally confused and looked at Athena with some surprise.

After all, in his opinion, things were not over yet, and there was obviously only one last step left. But he knew in his heart that since Athena said so, she was definitely not deceiving him.

"Your bet with Clotho, the goddess of fate, was originally just to face the predetermined fate and not back down even in the face of the wrath of Artemis, the goddess of the moon, so as to change Actaeon's fate.

You have undoubtedly done all of this during the hunting sacrifice."

Hearing Athena's words, Nuoyan couldn't help but recall the bet that day. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "But I met Meleager on the road after all. His fate...

Moreover, I have heard from the goddess Clotho that Actaeon's story is not over yet, and his fate is now intertwined with that of Meleager."

"That's true, but that's just an excuse she doesn't want to admit." Athena nodded, but didn't deny it. She continued, "You've already won, and now you just need to finish hunting the Calydonian boar and let her see clearly.

As for the hunting of the Calydonian boar... you will have succeeded in the hunting when you fulfill the oracle I gave you and catch the silver meteor."

"Because what you will face next is not a trial, but a reward."

"Reward?" Nuoyan looked at Athena in confusion.

What is the reward for hunting that monster?

“Yes.” Athena nodded, and her gaze towards Nuoyan became a little gentler at this time, and said: “Moreover, that is not only the gift that Artemis promised to give you, but also the reward I give you for completing the trial.

It is also...my promise to you!"

pledge?

Hey, can I die?

Just as Nuoyan was thinking this, Athena suddenly appeared in front of him and tapped him on the head.

"What are you thinking? How can the end of my oath be so cheap!" Athena said to Nuoyan in a bad mood: "You forgot, I said that I will witness and make you a dazzling star of this era, and let your name resound throughout the world!"

"Oh...so what should I do?" Nuoyan held his head and asked subconsciously.

In response, Athena simply smiled mysteriously and said, "A secret... Anyway, you will know it tomorrow."

After hearing this, it finally became clear that the issue of the Calydonian boar was no longer a problem, and the promise that all problems were over had not yet come to pass, and he had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

"But Nuoyan, this matter is not the key point. I came to you tonight to talk about something else..."

He saw the corners of Athena's mouth curled up... At this moment, Nuoyan shuddered!

Because he was familiar with this smile. When he was tricked into being in front of the river goddess and when Nuoyan was asked to catch a meteor, Athena had this expression.

In fact, Athena had the same expression when Hera recognized the wrong person!

"Can I not listen?" Nuoyan couldn't help but say.

"Of course." Who would have thought that Athena not only agreed readily, but the smile on her face even became wider.

"Then I'd better listen." Nuoyan said dejectedly, with a look of resignation.

"...Why do you make it seem like it's my fault?"

Athena couldn't help but knock on Nuoyan's head again. In Nuoyan's puzzled look, she said, "Let me make it clear that this has nothing to do with me. It's your own fault, Nuoyan."

"Me?" Just when Nuoyan was at a loss.

"Didn't you promise Artemis that you would draw a picture for her?" Athena, with a smile on her face, explained the reason.

Instantly, the wide-eyed Promise recalled.

“Hey little promise, you don’t think Artemis is a very patient goddess like me, do you?

Although she promised you that she is willing to give you some time to prepare, how long do you think that time will be?"

Looking at the smiling Athena in front of him, Nuoyan couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his voice became a little trembling, and asked: "How long?"

"Half a month... this should be the maximum time limit."

Athena tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "At the very least, maybe three to five days?... Anyway, if it takes more than a week and she still hasn't received the tribute, Nuoyan, you'd better be mentally prepared.

Get ready for her to hunt you...!"

PS: Sorry sorry for not updating until now.

The main reason is that I haven't fully recovered from my illness, so I write very slowly. I actually started typing at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it took me two hours to eat and take a short break. I have been writing until now and have just finished this chapter.

So everyone forgive me.

Chapter 3: The prediction of the goddess of fate is correct, let me die! (k)

Atalanta has returned.

When she came back, she had hunted a few wild rabbits in her hands, which had already been cleaned. They only needed to be roasted over the fire for a while before they could be eaten directly.

Then Atalanta found that the Pegasus that was protecting Nuoyan was gone, leaving the young man alone sitting by the fire in a daze.

And for some reason, he looked as if he had lost all hope in life...

Just as Atalanta tilted her head in confusion, she heard footsteps and turned her head to find that she had returned.

His emerald eyes reflected the beautiful hunter lady in front of him, and then he said to her in an extremely serious tone: "Atalanta, you know, I now feel that what Clotho, the goddess of fate, said is right, and her prediction is correct and there is no mistake.

I will literally fall in that silver meteor...!"

Haven't you already caught that horse?

Just when Atalanta was puzzled by what she said.

"So tomorrow I will follow the guidance of the goddess of fate, I will fall from the stars in the night sky with Pegasus, and I will die with the Calydonian boar!"

"Ahahaha, yes, this is my ending. I've finished charging, and it's time to show my true skills, Meteor Ichijo!"

Atalanta did not respond, because she had already been attracted by Nuoyan's change when she approached Nuoyan.

Although it was just a simple change of hairstyle, Atalanta still couldn't help but look at Nuoyan twice more, and sniffed slightly. With her five senses as sharp as animals, she naturally smelled the faint fragrance from Nuoyan...

On the night of the hunting sacrifice, Atalanta had met Athena, so at this moment she naturally realized the reason why Nuoyan was behaving strangely at this moment, and who had just come.

"The noble goddess of wisdom really cares about you very much." After putting the prey down, Atalanta looked at Nuoyan again and asked, "So, what happened?"

“…It’s okay.” Nuoyan smiled rather miserably, looked up at the sky, and said, “I just feel that the time for me to end has come, the goddess of fate is right, she is not wrong.

It’s my fault! ”

"No, wait, Athena said the next thing is a gift, I don't think I can die... Atalanta, how about this, let's have a running race now!"

Looking at Nuoyan who suddenly looked at her, and looking into his clear and serious eyes, Atalanta was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and said, "Race?"

"That's right, you run and I chase you. If I can't catch up with you, you will hunt me down and kill me!"

Looking at him who wanted to die, Atalanta felt puzzled, but at the same time, she keenly captured some key words.

Recalling what happened recently, Atalanta thought for a while and said tentatively: "As for hunting... let me remind you first, even if you die, you can't escape the hunting of the goddess Artemis."

"......Huh?" Nuoyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Atalanta with wide eyes.

"Because the goddess Artemis has said that if you cannot give her the tribute, she will hunt you... You will not forget the promise. The great goddess Artemis is actually a goddess of hunting, right?"

Atalanta laughed, which was rare for her.

Because she found Nuoyan's expression at this moment was really wonderful and interesting!

Atalanta put the hare away, and then her holy blue eyes looked at him again, and she smiled and said, "You know, even I, after identifying my prey, will chase it to the ends of the earth.

Therefore, according to the goddess Artemis, even death cannot stop her hunting...So this is really what you are worried about?"

No, half, I’m still worried about being strangled!

These guys are really too outrageous. After a person dies, he can be summoned by the heroic spirit. Is this a god? Yes, this seems to be a god...

"Well...how about I go find the noble Goddess Hera?" Nuoyan thought for a while and finally remembered his identity.

Followers of Queen Hera!

"You reach an agreement with a great god, but then unilaterally break it... What are the consequences? Do you need me to explain it to you in detail?"

As she spoke, Atalanta took out a bow and arrow from somewhere, pulled it open, looked at Nuoyan eagerly, and said, "And have you forgotten that I am the most loyal believer of the great goddess, Goddess Artemis.

If you dare to run, there is no need for the goddess to take action. I will hunt you down now!"

Nuoyan rolled his eyes at Atalanta when he heard this.

And Atalanta also put away her bow.

Obviously it was just a joke... although Atalanta really wanted to give it a try in her heart to see if she could hunt down Promise.

But that was when Nuoyan's injuries had fully recovered and he was able to ride the Pegasus.

If Nuoyan could see the favorability rating, he would find that Atalanta's favorability towards him had already reached the stage of recognition. And you have to know that even in the entire Age of Gods, the number of people who could be recognized by Atalanta could be counted on one hand.

After all, she witnessed with her own eyes how the weak boy in front of her caught the falling meteor.

"Goddess Artemis is looking forward to it. In that case, why don't you just offer the tribute to her?"

It's just a painting after all.

And Atalanta, who had seen it with her own eyes, and had also experienced the painting herself, was undoubtedly convinced by the promise in this respect, just as the harp had been that night.

"I can't do it." Nuoyan shook his head helplessly and said, "If I could really paint it, I would definitely give it to her first, but I really can't paint it now... Let alone the issue of inspiration, the brush and canvas in my hand now can't withstand a god!"

"Well, didn't Goddess Artemis promise to give you time?"

"Athena told me that it would take no more than half a month, and at least three to five days..."

Atalanta remained silent and lowered her head to roast the rabbit.

If it were a few days ago, she would have retorted angrily, and might even have hunted Nuoyan, after all, Nuoyan was slandering the goddess she admired the most!

but now......

Recalling the scene when Artemis grabbed Nuoyan's arm, begging for tribute in a coquettish manner, and almost shook Nuoyan to pieces.

Atalanta quickly shook her head and threw away all the disrespectful thoughts!

At the same time, because of this topic, Atalanta naturally thought of the first night when Promise said he would draw a picture for her.

She is the first person to promise to go down the mountain to paint.

But she refused.

Thinking of this, Atalanta became even more silent.

Seeing that Atalanta suddenly looked unhappy, Nuoyan suddenly realized that the person in front of him was Artemis' most loyal believer.

I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He turned around, took out the harp from the package and played it for Atalanta.

Nuoyan remembered that Atalanta liked this, and this was also the reward agreed upon at the beginning for eating Atalanta's prey.

Therefore, he did not notice that Atalanta's gaze on him had become sharper.

......

......

The next afternoon,

Pegasus arrived at the Kingdom of Calydon with the promise and Atalanta.

Nuoyan let it return to the sky, and he and Atalanta packed up briefly and entered the Kingdom of Calydon.

As soon as they entered the town, Noyan and Atalanta found that the kingdom was very lively at this time.

People put down what they were doing, gathered together, and were discussing something enthusiastically.

Seeing this, the two looked at each other and were about to go and find out what was going on.

"Nuoyan!" A surprised voice sounded, and Nuoyan turned his head and before he could see what was happening, the next second he found himself being hugged tightly by the man who heard the news and ran over as fast as he could.

"Great, you're okay, you're really okay, great!"

Click...

At that moment, Atalanta, who was standing by, found that she seemed to hear the sound of someone's bones breaking.
