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

"By the way, speaking of this, when my body can bear it one day, I will let Pegasus take us to the stars in the night sky."

Nuoyan pointed to the blue sky outside and said to Atalanta in a boastful manner: "The sea of ​​stars under the night sky, where Pegasus finally arrived, you know, it is simply one of the most beautiful paintings in the world...

and many more! "

The promise suddenly stopped.

At this moment he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes widened little by little.

Then he frowned again, lowered his head, put his fingers on his chin, and fell into deep thought...

"What's wrong?" After waiting for a while, seeing that Nuoyan had no response, Atalanta finally couldn't help but ask.

Then she saw Nuoyan slowly raising his head, his eyes full of surprise!

"Atalanta, I think I know what I should do for the goddess Artemis.

Present that painting!"

Chapter 4 Hera, why are you here? ! (k)

The promise and Atalanta did not wait long,

However, the person who came back later was not Meleager, but the noble lady in the red dress, Althea, the queen of Calydon.

When Althea appeared and gracefully introduced herself to the two, Atalanta immediately glanced at Nuoyan subconsciously.

After all, she had a good memory and still remembered the oracle left by the goddess of wisdom Athena that night... In the end, Meleager would be killed by his beloved mother herself!

Although she was the queen of a country and the elder sister of Tokes, Althea did not act arrogantly and entertained the two men attentively.

But because night was approaching and the goddess was about to come to the kingdom, Althea obviously did not have much free time, so after a brief meeting and apologizing repeatedly, she left in a hurry.

With that, Nuoyan and Atalanta left the palace.

"Why did you accept the money she offered you?"

After leaving the palace and waiting for the guards to leave, Atalanta asked Nuoyan this question in confusion. After all, she knew in her heart that Nuoyan had no idea about money at all.

"Because of the situation at that time, not accepting it would be more troublesome."

Hearing this answer, Atalanta nodded thoughtfully.

Then he continued as he walked, “Right now, the people of the entire kingdom are preparing to welcome the coming of the Goddess of Wisdom, and are looking forward to becoming the brave man she chooses, thus completely ignoring you who brought back the gift from Artemis.

So now I really want to see what kind of expression they will show when the goddess Athena chooses you tonight!"

"Well... maybe Goddess Athena won't choose me at that time." Nuoyan had just answered with a smile when Atalanta glanced at him sideways.

Nuoyan pretended not to see this and continued, "However, I never thought that Athena would give me this as a gift..."

Looking at the promise in front of her, Atalanta tilted her head and asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

"Because this kind of gift is not the first time I have received it..." Nuoyan said this with a strange look on his face, "But there was a slight problem the first time, so I really didn't think there would be a second time..."

......

......

"That day, I asked Hera why she didn't reveal her identity in front of the child, and she told me that it was not the right time yet."

“She said that she would only appear and stand with the child when the child returned to the kingdom and appeared in front of everyone.

Tell everyone that Hera is the goddess of that child, and Hera will take back everything that belongs to him for the sake of that child!"

This is what happened in Jason's hometown, the kingdom of Iolcus.

It is also the beginning of everything.

On the outskirts of Calydon, under the shade of a tree in the evening, Artemis, the moon goddess, dressed in beautiful embroidered clothes of ancient Athens, was sitting there, listening with relish to Athena, who was also sitting next to her, telling her about everything that had happened.

"But didn't you say that from the very beginning, Hera had mistaken the child of Promise for that, that... Jason?" Artemis asked after trying hard to recall and think.

"Yes." Athena smiled and nodded, "So later, a lot of troubles happened, but fortunately everything ended perfectly in the end. After all, Clotho, the goddess of fate who almost never left the Temple of Fate, came there at that time.

Tell Hera that Promise is also the one who can bring her glory. "

By the way, he also told me that I was also one of the gods he could choose... Athena didn't say this now.

"So you want to do the same as last time, and that's why you're preparing for the next sacrifice to the gods?" Artemis said, her sky-blue eyes looking towards the bustling Calydonian Kingdom.

Although Artemis was very angry because she was the only one who did not receive the sacrifice, and abandoned the horrible monster boar, she no longer had that anger at this time...

In fact, to be more precise, Artemis had forgotten about it not long after she left the wild boar behind and had slept for a few hours.

"Yes, because to be precise, he actually..." Athena's lips curled up slightly, "He didn't really receive the favor from the gods, right?"

"Um...Does Hera know?" Even Artemis looked at Athena with a very subtle look at this time.

"Of course she doesn't know. And even if she does, it doesn't matter. I'm just making up for what she didn't do." Athena said, blinking at Artemis innocently, "After all, Nuoyan is so cute, right?"

"Yeah, that makes sense!" Hearing Athena say this, Artemis immediately nodded in agreement, and said happily: "In that case, add me in, because it feels so interesting!"

Looking at Artemis who made this request as expected, Athena smiled and said, "Of course... No!"

"Artemis, have you forgotten that we made a bet not long ago, and that you lost that bet?"

Artemis was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then puffed her lips, looked at Athena with dissatisfaction, and said, "I can see that you want to have it all to yourself, Athena. Don't think I don't know that you want to take Little Promise away while Hera is busy, right?!"

Artemis has become smarter?

Of course not, it was simply because she and Athena thought the same thing.

The music of the piano that night, the paintings that followed and the silver meteor... Although Artemis's believers are basically only women, Artemis expressed her willingness to make an exception when it comes to her promise.

And if it really doesn't work, it's not like she doesn't have the ability to turn the promise into a girl!

"What are you talking about, Artemis? How could I possibly compete with the noble Queen Hera for believers?"

The smile on Athena's face was still as elegant and calm as ever. She stood up, her golden eyes looking into the distance, and said softly: "I won't tell you anymore. After all, the goddess of the night, Nyx, has already come to the world."

......

......

The goddess of night, Nyx, drove the chariot of night and came to the human world from the underworld.

She is one of the five original gods born in ancient Greek mythology, besides Chaos, the god of creation. She is the essence and incarnation of night.

In mythology, this goddess is the foster mother of the god-king Zeus.

She used her power to protect Zeus in darkness, allowing Zeus to grow up under the nose of his father, the second generation king of gods.

And eventually overthrew the temple and built the present Olympus.

At this moment in the Kingdom of Calydon, almost everyone had a torch in their hands, lighting up the night, and gathering in front of the sacrificial tower according to the oracle.

They raised their heads and looked towards the burning altar, waiting for the arrival of the great god. At the same time, almost everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that they would be chosen by the beautiful goddess.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone, with the help of the gods, he defeated the horrible monster and eventually became a hero who was respected and praised by everyone!

"Well...how do you think the goddess Athena will choose you?" At this time, Atalanta and Nuoyan were standing almost at the outside of the crowd, leaning against a big tree.

At the center of the crowd were the royal family and nobles of the Calydonian Kingdom.

Atalanta looked at the scene from afar with a smile on her lips, and she even felt that she was a little strange.

After all, she knew the answer from the beginning, and the person who was about to be chosen by the goddess was not her, but Atalanta still felt extremely excited!

Atalanta was looking forward to Athena's arrival, and even more so to Athena's final choice of promise under the gaze of everyone tonight.

Because Atalanta could now imagine how wonderful the expressions of those people in the Calydonian Palace would be at that time!

When she thought of this, Atalanta found that the corners of her mouth could not help but rise... At this moment, the pure Atalanta did not know that this feeling was called - pleasure!

The promise was heard by the side, but before he could answer, Atalanta asked this question.

"Nuoyan, beautiful Miss Hunter, I finally found you!" The red-haired young man Meleager squeezed out of the crowd and came in front of them with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, even Atalanta was slightly stunned.

Because she already knew Meleager's identity, he was the prince of the Calydonian Kingdom, and during the hunting sacrifice that day, Atalanta had personally witnessed the bravery and leadership qualities displayed by Meleager.

Therefore, when Athena came here, he was undoubtedly the first one to come before the goddess. He was also the most qualified hero to be chosen and favored by the goddess Athena in the minds of most people in the kingdom!

Even if it were Atalanta a few days ago, she would probably think that Athena would eventually choose Meleager.

So Atalanta really didn't expect that when they had almost all the advantages of time and place, Meleager would actually give up everything and come here to find them!

"Aren't you going to greet the goddess?" Atalanta couldn't help asking.

Seeing Atalanta actually speaking to him, under Nuoyan's speechless gaze, Meleager suddenly panicked and answered with a stumbling voice: "Father, father and mother did ask me to go and greet the goddess.

But I think this shouldn't be the case... and since he is the hero chosen by the wisest goddess among the gods, Athena, he must be the bravest person here tonight, so it doesn't matter where you stand!"

Hearing this, Atalanta looked at Meleager with a serious face in front of her, then looked at Nuoyan who was laughing beside her. She naturally recalled the scene that night when Actaeon, who had turned into a monster, came to Nuoyan regardless of everything.

So at this moment, the dissatisfaction that had accumulated in Atalanta's heart in the palace finally dissipated a lot.

And just then...

"So who do you think will be chosen by the wise goddess tonight... What if that person is you?"

A soft voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.

When Meleager heard this question, he almost subconsciously spoke out all his thoughts, saying: "If that person is me, I am willing to hand over the honor to Nuoyan tonight... When he wins the hunting sacrifice and asks the goddess Artemis for this gift, all this should belong to him."

"It seems that Chiron has indeed taught a group of excellent students... If this child was not here tonight, then my choice would undoubtedly be you."

Hearing this answer, and listening to the beautiful voice that seemed to caress his body and mind like a clear spring, Meleager subconsciously turned his head away.

Then he saw the goddess in a flawless white dress, as beautiful as the most dazzling pearl among all the goddesses, walking slowly past him.

She smiled gently and came in front of Nuoyan.

Golden eyes stared at the black-haired, green-eyed boy and held out a hand to him.

"Let's go." Athena said, "I'm here to pick you up."

......

[That night, Athena, the goddess of wisdom who shines like the brightest pearl among the gods of Olympus, held your hand.]

[She took you, step by step, to the world. ]

[Under everyone's incredible gaze, she announced to everyone that you are the most heroic hero in the eyes of the goddess of wisdom! ]

......

"Damn Athena!"

The highest point of the Calydonian Palace, illuminated by the full moon at night.

The moon goddess Artemis looked down and all the people automatically made way for her. Then Athena took Nuoyan's hand and led him step by step towards the center of the crowd.

Artemis couldn't help but clench her fists and said angrily, "You're eating alone. I want Nuoyan too, and I want to snatch him from Hera!"

"...Can you explain to me what is going on now?"

“What, what’s going on!” Artemis tilted her head, unhappy and said, “Isn’t it obvious at a glance? That Athena wants Xiao Nuoyan to become her believer and wants to snatch him away from Hera…”

As she spoke, Artemis' voice gradually weakened.

She blinked her sky blue eyes, looking at the goddess who had arrived beside her without her knowing.

Looking at the beautiful golden curls flowing from the crown under the moonlight, the flawless face and the beautiful amber eyes...

"Eh?!"

Artemis opened her eyes wide, looking at the most noble goddess among the gods in front of her, and subconsciously raised her voice and shouted: "Hera, why are you here?!"

Chapter 5 Athena: Hera, you don’t know yet? (k)

In the kingdom of Calydon,

When the flawless goddess came before everyone with the hero she had chosen, the stars that fell from the night sky also fell before them.

Pegasus flapped his silver wings and flew away from the kingdom of Calydonius, carrying Promise and Athena in the eyes of everyone.

And this is Athena's gift of promise, a story that would no doubt have been sung by the bards and spread throughout ancient Greece.

Favored by Athena, the goddess of wisdom, the hero who controls the falling stars.

"Hehe, are you happy? How does it feel to be the center of everyone's attention?" Athena sat sideways behind Nuoyan on the Pegasus, and the breeze in the night sky blew her silver hair.
