Not to mention that there is no trace of her in this painting!

"Is this the painting you presented to me?" Artemis's expression naturally became increasingly ugly, and she turned to look at Nuoyan.

Seeing this, Hera, the Queen of Heaven, who also saw the painting in secret, couldn't help but look at Athena beside her and said worriedly: "Athena, look, should we go out and stop Artemis now? Otherwise, I'm worried..."

"It's not necessary Hera, because..." As she spoke, Athena's golden eyes glanced at Clotho who was still standing quietly beside her.

Looking at the goddess of fate in front of her, whose expression did not change at all, Athena laughed and said, "He promised that he would never let us down!"

Hearing Athena say this and looking at her confident expression, Hera was still hesitant and although she did not move in the end, her amber eyes were full of worry as she looked at Nuoyan.

Hera, the goddess of promises.

It seemed like this was the first time that Hera truly looked at this believer who could bring her glory from the perspective of an "audience".

"This painting is indeed dedicated to you, the beautiful goddess Artemis."

The promise was made, and before Artemis could get angry, he added: "But this painting is actually not finished yet, because it is not something I can paint alone."

"Tonight, I am not the only one offering tribute to you, Goddess Artemis. Everyone in the entire Calydonian Kingdom will do so."

After he finished speaking, while Artemis was slightly stunned, Nuoyan continued, "They are offering tribute to you, hoping that you, the kind goddess, will forgive their past rudeness. At the same time, this is also the painting I truly dedicate to you, the goddess Artemis."

Hearing this, Artemis naturally tilted her head and looked around.

His gaze lingered on Atalanta for a moment, and then he looked at Nuoyan with even more confusion, and said, "Them? ...But there are obviously only you and little Atalanta here?"

Nuoyan smiled when he heard this, and then looked at Atalanta.

Atalanta nodded slightly, walked towards the Pegasus beside her, and took out the things that had been prepared long ago.

It was something Artemis had never seen before, and it was also something very simple to make.

It can carry people's wishes, as well as their thoughts, blessings, sadness and pain of farewell, and slowly rise into the sky.

Atalanta lit it, and when the seemingly faint light lit up under the night sky tonight, the Pegasus neighed softly and suddenly started running, turned into a meteor, and ran towards the stars in the night sky.

Then Artemis looked at Atalanta in confusion as she held it up and walked towards her.

"Goddess Artemis, I've actually always wanted to tell you, thank you."

Atalanta seemed a little nervous at this moment, but serious at the same time.

When Artemis was slightly stunned, Atalanta stared at her with a rare gentle smile and said, "I have never forgotten the gift you gave me... When my parents abandoned me in the ice and snow, it was you who appeared and held me, held my little hand, and made me happy. It was also you who taught me hunting skills and raised me up."

"Therefore, Goddess Artemis, I, Atalanta, have already made a vow. I am willing to dedicate my short life to you. I am willing to always be by your side and wish you to be forever beautiful and happy..."

After saying this, Atalanta let go.

Then, in the reflection of Artemis's blue eyes, the faint light, carrying Atalanta's blessing to her, rose towards the sky little by little.

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, also witnessed this scene.

"This is not a painting that I can complete alone, but a painting that everyone in the Kingdom of Calydon can complete..."

And in an instant, she also recalled what Nuoyan said.

So after coming back to her senses, she suddenly raised her head and looked around.

The mountains dotted with white lilies were as beautiful as a painting, but the tall trees obscured everything around them.

Athena realized something at this moment, and she looked up again, gazing at the Pegasus that was already running towards the sea of ​​stars.

She took a light step forward and immediately came behind Tianma.

The goddess of fate, Clotho, moved her ears slightly, and then chuckled, but did not stop, because she knew that the scenery she saw in the Temple of Destiny that day, that beautiful painting... was coming.

Tianma was naturally panicked by Athena's sudden appearance, but he quickly stabilized himself.

Sitting on Pegasus, Athena lowered her head and looked towards the world under the night sky. Then her golden eyes gradually widened...

"Athena, what's wrong with you suddenly?" Puzzled, Hera chased Athena and came to Pegasus.

Seeing that Athena did not answer him, he followed her gaze and looked at the ground at this moment.

And when the lights on the ground lit up Hera's amber eyes.

And when a painting is presented.

Hera was stunned.

She opened her eyes wide, opened her mouth slightly, and subconsciously wanted to scream out, but Athena reached out and quickly covered her mouth.

Athena then placed her index finger to her lips to silence Hera, whose eyes were wide open.

Then, with her heart equally restless, she once again focused her gaze on the promise, and on Artemis, who was now staring blankly at Atalanta's lamp rising into the sky.

Soon, Athena began to laugh.

At this moment, she naturally understood why Nuoyan would seek a windless night.

But that's... too slow.

At this moment, Athena felt an unprecedented impatience in her heart. She was eager to see the moment when the painting was truly presented.

So she stretched out her hand and waved gently towards the sky.

The next second, the wind that had been still appeared, blowing from the bottom up, and because it was the wind blown by Athena, she naturally controlled it so that she did not blow the lights out.

And when the wind blew, Nuoyan and the others naturally felt it as well, and in just a moment, Nuoyan realized who was behind it.

He felt somewhat helpless about this. Looking at the bewildered Artemis in front of him, Nuoyan thought for a moment and then said to Artemis, "Goddess Artemis, your tribute, the painting... is here."

"Huh?" Artemis was stunned, looked at Nuoyan, then looked around, tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Where is it? Why can't I see it?"

Nuoyan laughed when he heard this, and then said softly: "It has come, but before that, can I ask a favor of you, Goddess Artemis?

Could you please close your eyes and wait for a moment?"

"Have to wait again?!" Artemis' eyes widened instantly, and reluctance was written all over her face.

"Don't worry, beautiful goddess Artemis. You only need to wait thirty seconds this time." Nuoyan said to Artemis, "Only thirty seconds, it... will appear before your eyes!"

Hearing this, Artemis had no chance to speak.

"Goddess Artemis, can you please close your eyes and wait for thirty seconds?" Atalanta beside her asked, "It will only take thirty seconds this time. We won't let you down, okay?"

Artemis looked at Promise, then looked at Atalanta beside her.

Then he sighed helplessly.

She closed her eyes reluctantly, pouted and said, “It’s agreed, this time it’ll be only 30 seconds… If you haven’t finished the painting yet, draw it for me.

"Xiao Nuoyan, just wait for me to hunt you, hehe!"

Seeing this, Nuoyan and Atalanta looked at each other and then laughed together.

Then Nuoyan took out the harp that he had prepared long ago, and gently plucked the melody, producing a quiet sound.

Atalanta counted down slowly on the side.

When the time came to the last ten seconds, Artemis suddenly heard the cry of the golden-horned deer. The cry was full of surprise, as if it had seen something incredible.

This made Artemis' heart itch instantly.

Take a peek, it should be alright, right?

With this thought in mind, Artemis couldn't help but narrow her eyes and peek before Atalanta finished her countdown.

Then the sky lantern that slowly rose up to the sky, lighting up the sky tonight, also lit up Artemis' eyes.

So the next second, Artemis suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"Goddess Artemis, the countdown isn't over yet!"

Atalanta's voice could not echo in Artemis' ears now.

She opened her eyes wide, and was so surprised that she even covered her mouth with her hands subconsciously... She was a goddess, and so Artemis heard people's blessings to her from the dim light.

Each sky lantern carries a Calydonian's blessing to the moon goddess Artemis. They slowly stretch toward the night sky, lighting up the night at this moment!

Kongming lantern can also be called sky lantern.

That's right, this is the "painting" that Nuoyan prepared. Tens of thousands of sky lanterns, carrying the blessings and wishes of every Calydonian, are flying towards the sky at this moment.

They now illuminated the night sky and surrounded Artemis.

Looking at the goddess Artemis, whose face was filled with shock and who was completely speechless, Nuoyan and Atalanta looked at each other again and smiled at each other.

Then Atalanta looked up and also looked at the scene that lit up the night in front of her.

Even though she already knew and had guessed how spectacular this scene was, at this moment she was still completely distracted by the painting in front of her.

Not only them,

At this moment in the kingdom of Calydon.

The king and queen stood with Meleager. They stood at the highest point of the palace and watched their lantern fly high into the sky.

Outside of the kingdom, no one in the Kingdom of Calydon rested tonight.

People were talking excitedly, discussing the wishes they had made, while gazing at the incredibly beautiful scenery from afar.

Even in the suburbs, Actaeon, who had turned into a giant deer, was not alone at this time. Tonight, the elves, nymphs, and even the wild beasts in the forest all stopped and looked up at the sky with him.

As they rose higher and higher, in the distant Pirion Cave, the Centaur sage Chiron walked out from the shadow of the cave and looked over here from afar.

In a town under the cover of night, Themis, the goddess of justice and fairness, who was walking among the people, quietly took off the white cloth from her eyes.

Looking at this place from afar, I was a little dazed.

In the Kingdom of Aegina, the river goddess stood by the window of the high tower, looking at the painting in a trance.

"Is it you, Nuoyan... No, only you can draw such a picture." Aegina, the river goddess, said softly.

As time went by, more and more people, fairies and even the gods of Olympus gradually discovered this.

As they looked up at the night sky, their expressions changed from surprise and confusion to astonishment.

The Pegasus is running in the sky, trying hard to complete the task that his master promised to give him.

It uses its body to gently bump the sky lanterns that have strayed from their tracks, allowing them to connect together and form a picture in the sky.

Yes, don't forget, it's a painting.

A painting promised to the goddess Artemis!

So Nuoyan, the only one who was still calm at this time, came to Artemis.

"Goddess Artemis, look..."

As Artemis lowered her head with difficulty and fixed her eyes on Nuoyan, Nuoyan began to paint in the air with the brush in his hand.

At first he painted very slowly.

But as the sky lanterns flew higher and higher, the promises were drawn faster and faster.

Artemis gradually understood.

The promise is to connect these sky lanterns together.

After realizing this, Artemis gradually discovered that the seemingly messy and irregular sky lanterns in the sky were actually gathering together at this moment along with Nuoyan's painting.

They flew higher and higher, and finally, under the full moon and starry sky, the picture appeared.

It was a very crude drawing, just an outline to be exact.

It was the silhouette of a goddess,

There was a golden-horned deer beside her. She sat on the deer, pulled the bow in her hand, and pointed it towards the sky.

Who is this?

Who else could it be other than Artemis, goddess of the moon.

So at this moment, Artemis was completely dumbfounded and her head exploded.

Not only her, Hera's head also exploded at this moment!

She sat on Pegasus's body, watching Athena help and eagerly present the painting. At this moment, with her eyes wide open, she could no longer utter a word.

Is this a painting?

Yes, this looks like a painting.

Is this the painting that the child promised to give to Artemis?

......No, why?
