As for Artemis, the biggest winner tonight, she had already been overwhelmed by excessive happiness and was now in a daze.

It was not until Athena and Hera were about to take Artemis away that she came to her senses.

"Wait, wait, I haven't given the gift to Little Promise yet!" Artemis said loudly.

Hearing this, Hera and Athena were stunned for a moment, then stopped.

Indeed, it would be unreasonable not to give gifts or favors in response to a tribute of this magnitude tonight.

If Artemis didn't give it to her, the gods would definitely take this opportunity to laugh at her tomorrow, laughing at her for being stingy, thus covering up their jealousy.

But what kind of gift would Artemis give for such a tribute?

Hera couldn't help but stop and looked at Artemis curiously.

And at this time,

"Goddess Artemis, this is not a tribute from me alone, but a blessing and gift from all of Calydon and Atalanta to you, the goddess."

Nuoyan spoke, and he even turned around, pulled Atalanta over, and said seriously: "Therefore, Goddess Artemis, I am not entitled to this gift alone, please give it equally to everyone!"

Hearing this, Hera couldn't help but look at Nuoyan with some emotion.

This is the child who can bring honor to me... No, from today on I must take better care of him and never let Athena take advantage of him!

Thinking of this, Hera glared at Athena again.

Athena ignored Hera at this moment, but looked at Nuoyan with a playful look.

After all, she had seen early in the morning that Nuoyan prepared the painting so carefully because he was afraid of being hunted by Artemis, so she naturally judged what Nuoyan was thinking at the moment.

That is to pull everyone to stand in front of Artemis.

Upon hearing this, Artemis felt the blessings contained in the sky lanterns in the night. Looking at the first person who lit the sky lantern, her most loyal little believer, Artemis really had no way to refute.

While she was hesitating...

"Give blessings to the entire Calydonian Kingdom." Athena spoke up, and she smiled and said, "Forgive their past mistakes and bless them all. That is what they expect.

And Artemis, you should also fulfill the wishes of your little believer so that she can follow you from now on.

If you keep your promise, Artemis, from today on, you can no longer scare him with hunting."

"Is that all?" Artemis looked at Athena in confusion.

"Of course, Goddess Artemis!" Without waiting for Athena to reply, Atalanta said excitedly: "It is my greatest wish to follow you. Please give me this honor!"

"Okay." Seeing this, Artemis smiled a little helplessly but happily, nodded to Atalanta and said, "Since this is your wish, little Atalanta, then let it be... What about the promise?"

"Besides not being able to hunt anymore, of course, it's painting."

After Athena answered, everyone present was slightly stunned.

"Painting?" Artemis looked at Athena in confusion, then looked at the painting in her hand. She immediately hugged it tightly and looked at Athena with vigilance.

"It's not the one in your hand."

Athena rolled her eyes at Artemis and said, “But when Nuoyan gets the brush and canvas from Hephaestus, Artemis, you are not allowed to make any requests to Nuoyan. You must obediently let him carve you into his canvas.

And from now on, when this child asks you for help, you must not refuse him!"

This statement was a bit absolute, but even Hera showed an expression of 'it should be so', after all, those sky lanterns were still lit in the sky.

"No problem!" Upon hearing this, Artemis didn't even give Nuoyan a chance to speak, and immediately nodded and agreed, as if she was afraid that the other party would go back on his word.

She actually didn't care about what Athena said later. She only heard the first half, that Nuo Yan would draw another one for her in the future.

Seeing this, Nuoyan hesitated for a moment and then said nothing.

After all, with the help of Athena, he did achieve his ultimate goal.

Now that Artemis had made her promise, she could no longer hunt for it.

So it was finally quiet tonight... No, to be exact, before the night was illuminated by the sun, the area of ​​Calydon would never be quiet no matter what.

At the same time, the sky lanterns stopped after flying a certain distance in the night sky.

Although this painting is destined to disappear into the sky when the sun appears, tonight, Nyx, the goddess of the night who makes all the stars retreat, is willing to let it hang high in the night sky, using the night sky as the canvas.

Then Pegasus spread his wings and returned to the Kingdom of Calydon with Atalanta and Nuoyan.

And when it fell in the Kingdom of Calydon, the promise was greeted with cheers from everyone in the kingdom, because before they returned, the believers and prophets in the temple had excitedly told everyone that the moon goddess Artemis had forgiven the mistakes they had made.

And they will be blessed for a hundred years.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. A grand banquet is being held throughout the kingdom with everyone participating. However, the promise, which is the absolute core of the banquet, has quietly left the crowd at some point.

Because he has a small promise.

He climbed to the highest point of the palace of the kingdom, and at the top, Clotho, the goddess of fate, wearing a white robe and holding the crystal ball of fate that held the promise, was sitting there quietly waiting for him.

That day in the Temple of Destiny, when Nuoyan woke up from the future destiny he had peeked into, he naturally discovered the other two goddesses of fate.

They all agreed to help, but made a small request.

Although the request was a bit strange, it was just a small thing, so Nuoyan finally agreed to it.

That is, at the end of everything, the promise needs to come to Kroto's side.

Accompanying her who cannot see all this, we enjoy the scenery tonight together.

Chapter 57: Heroic Spirit Class Card Update (Changed)

Two days later,

In the afternoon sun,

In the sanctuary of Artemis, the moon goddess, the graceful queen of heaven Hera was sitting in the pavilion with the goddess of wisdom Athena.

As for Artemis, amid the contemptuous looks of the two goddesses, she happily presented the painting in her hand to her attendants and nymphs for their appreciation, and felt extremely satisfied under their admiring and envious gazes.

But to be honest, you two goddesses are not qualified to look down on her, right?

After all, Artemis's appearance now is not much different from when one of you showed off your painting to the gods and the other showed off your prophecy to the gods.

"Hera, why don't you leave?" After despising Artemis and suppressing the jealousy in her heart, Athena showed her standard elegant smile and said to Hera, "You should have a lot of things to do, right?"

"Athena, don't think I don't know what you are planning!" Hera glared at Athena with her amber eyes and said, "You want to take advantage of my absence to attack that child again, right? I tell you, don't even think about it this time!"

"But the child has already made a promise to me. I will help him grow into a hero known all over the world and become a shining star in the sky."

Facing Hera's vigilant gaze, Athena was not at all flustered, and still said with a smile: "And Hera, don't forget, this is the dream of your lovely little believer. He longs to be a hero and longs for a magnificent ending...

Are you going to ignore all this and stop him, Hera?"

"No way, no way, Hera, don't you like him at all? You keep calling yourself his goddess."

Ah...so angry!

Looking at Athena who was blinking at her, pretending to be surprised, putting her hand to her mouth with the corners of her mouth unable to stop rising, Hera felt her fist harden.

Hera knew very well that this guy had ill intentions and was eyeing her lovely believers covetously, but she could neither beat him nor convince him, so she could only get mad with anger.

It even felt like this was even more painful than when he caught Zeus cheating!

After seeing Hera like this, she felt satisfied and her jealousy was greatly reduced. Then Athena finally spoke again, saying, "Okay, Hera, stop making trouble.

The boy's respect for you is not false, as you have seen, he always puts you first, and even swears that you will be the first goddess he truly depicts. "

"So you don't have to worry too much, at least... for the short term."

Hearing this, the expression on Hera's face had not completely relaxed yet, and she frowned again and said, "Wait, in a short time?"

Athena did not answer Hera's question and continued, "It's meaningless to continue wasting time like this. It won't be long before the child sets out on his journey again.

Hera, do you really want to stop that child's wish and don't want to see him become a hero famous in ancient Greece? Do you think he is not qualified for that?"

"How is that possible?" Hera shook her head decisively, and raised her head with pride, saying, "How could my child not be qualified? What's more, he is no worse than anyone else, and even better than everyone else!"

Hearing this, Athena didn't have time to answer.

"Yes, yes, that's right, Xiao Nuoyan is really excellent!" Artemis on the side nodded frantically.

As a result, Athena and Hera ignored her.

"So, as the goddess of that child, you can't let that child down, so Hera, hurry up and get back to work. His paintings and pens are still waiting for you, the goddess, to go to see Hephaestus."

When Hera heard the name of Hephaestus, her body stiffened.

Seeing this, Athena could only change the subject helplessly and said, "Or maybe it's Hades' wedding... It seems like this has been delayed for a while, right?"

"Stop talking about it." Hera's face was full of depression when talking about this matter, and she said, "It was obviously that guy who said he wanted a marriage, so I found so many goddesses for him and asked Hermes to send them to him.

I even asked her to visit the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, but she didn't like any of them and drove them all away!"

...There's a reason why Hephaestus hates you.

Athena looked at Hera speechlessly, and even at this moment she could imagine the scene when Hera went to see Hephaestus and Hephaestus closed the door and did not let her in, or even kicked her out.

Thinking of this, Athena became happy again.

But after having fun, Athena felt that this was not a big deal.

Although Athena wanted to admire Hera's frustrated look for a while longer, if she didn't find something for her to do, she would have a hard time doing anything to Nuoyan if she kept staring at him.

So after a moment, Athena said, "Hera, have you ever thought about why Hades asked you for marriage?"

"What's there to worry about? He just wants a partner... He's the only one among us siblings who doesn't have a partner, so he must be anxious!"

Looking at Hera who was speaking so confidently, Athena resisted the urge to cover her forehead and said, "Is it possible that Hades is seeking a marriage with you not because he is looking for a partner, but simply because he wants a marriage?

Like...he actually found himself a partner already?"

Hearing this, Hera was stunned for a moment, then a look of realization appeared on her face. She looked at Athena in even greater surprise and said, "Are you saying that the dull guy finally came to his senses and has someone he likes?!"

"I didn't say that, Hera, you said it yourself."

As she spoke, Athena reached out and pushed away Artemis, who had come closer at some point with curiosity written all over his face.

"So that's how it is. So that's what's going on. I'm going to go ask him who that person is now!"

Hera, with a look of surprise on her face, just stood up and took two steps, then suddenly tilted her head and frowned, then turned back to look at Athena and said, "No, I suddenly thought that it would be useless if I asked. That dull guy will definitely not tell me who it is directly!"

"That's very simple." Athena laughed again and said, "You just need to go back to Olympus, gather all the goddesses together, and ask who is willing to go to the underworld to become Hades' bride. The most enthusiastic one will obviously be the one Hades wants."

After all, few gods are willing to go to the underworld, which is shrouded in darkness and desolation.

"you mean......"

"Hera, you should know Hades better than me. Do you think he would directly ask you for a marriage without the other party's consent?"

At this point Hera finally understood.

After fully understanding, Hera couldn't help laughing and said, "Hades, that guy, really, if there is such a thing, why didn't he say it earlier!"

After saying that, Hera left.

And when she left, Artemis followed without any surprise.

After they all left, Athena waved her hand and asked all the nymphs to leave. Then she crossed her arms over her chest, sat against the pavilion and said, "Come out, Hermes. You've been hiding for a long time... Tell me what you want from me."

Having said this, Athena paused for a moment, then tilted her head to look at the handsome blond man who walked out of the bushes. He was wearing a light green casual suit and a feather hat, and said, "Or to be more precise, what do you want from that kid Nuoyan?"

Hearing this, Hermes took off his feather hat with narrowed eyes, bowed slightly to Athena, and said with a smile: "You really can't hide anything from your eyes, goddess of wisdom, but... to be precise, this is not my commission."

After putting on the feather hat, Hermes squinted his eyes and continued to smile: "This is a commission given by our great father god."

"Father God?" Athena couldn't help but raise her eyebrows at the slightly unexpected statement.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head and asked Hermes, "What's the matter?"

"Go save someone, a woman." Hermes smiled and said, "To be precise, a woman who was turned into a cow!"

Her name was Io.
