But just as Nuoyan arrived at the River Styx, before he could see the boat, he suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses.
I looked up subconsciously and saw four celestial horses representing the night in the sky above the underworld, pulling a chariot of the underworld across the sky.
It was supposed to fly across the River Styx and return to the underworld under the gaze of Nuoyan.
But after walking halfway, it suddenly turned a corner as if it had discovered something. With a light exclamation, the carriage came back and stopped in front of Nuoyan, who was slightly stunned.
Then an extremely beautiful goddess walked out from the underworld chariot.
She had an extremely beautiful appearance, with long black hair as black as the night draped behind her, eyes as bright as stars, and she was wearing a divine robe made of the night sky and stars.
She came to Nuoyan.
After walking around Nuoyan twice, he finally confirmed Nuoyan's identity. He clapped his hands in surprise and joy, and said to Nuoyan happily: "It's really you, Hera's believer. You are the child who used my body as a canvas to paint that night, right?"
With just these words, Nuoyan immediately realized who this goddess was.
Nyx, the goddess of the night, is the essence and incarnation of night in ancient Greek mythology and one of the five original gods. In mythology, she is even the adoptive mother of the current king of gods Zeus!
"Why did you come to the underworld, child... and carry little Hecate's underworld lantern?"
Nyx looked at Nuoyan, then at the Dark Lamp in Nuoyan's hand, and asked curiously.
Facing such a god, Nuoyan naturally told the truth and said, "I came to the underworld to see the great Hades."
"You want to see Hades?" Nyx tilted her head, and before Nuoyan nodded to answer, she smiled and grabbed Nuoyan's hand, led him into the carriage in the dark, and said, "Okay, then I'll take you to see him."
When the chariot in the dark night was speeding over the underworld again, the ferry god Charon also came here. He looked at the empty river bank in front of him and smelled the breath of living people. He felt a little dazed for a moment.
And in the carriage in the dark night, facing the questions of the goddess of night Nyx, Nuoyan naturally told everything honestly.
When Nyx learned that Nuoyan came to the underworld just for his friend named Orpheus, even Nyx, who was almost older than the world, was stunned.
"Child, aren't you afraid that after coming down this time, you will never be able to return to this beautiful world?" Nyx asked.
There are heroes who come to the underworld, but there is really no one like Nuoyan, who will die if a gust of underworld wind blows!
Not to mention that there is no one else, it is estimated that there will be no one else like him in every sense.
"The goddess of wisdom will help me." Nuoyan replied.
"Then have you ever thought that Hades won't agree to your request... Besides, this is not your business, but your friend's business. You come to the underworld where you can lose your life forever at any time just for a friend, just to fight for that tiny possibility. Is it really worth it?"
"I didn't think about whether it was worth it or not. I just felt that Orpheus shouldn't be like that. He was very different from what I remembered, and..."
Nuoyan paused for a moment, then smiled at Nyx and said, "My noble goddess, isn't this very heroic? Being able to die like a true hero on the road of heroism is my lifelong dream."
This was not the first time that Nyx had heard these words. After the day when the night became the canvas, she had curiously sought to learn about Nuoyan, and so naturally knew about Nuoyan's oath with Athena, as well as Nuoyan's past in Chiron.
But knowing it and hearing it with your own ears are two completely different things, not to mention that this is the underworld.
Nuoyan really came to this underworld without any hesitation.
Is there anything that could be more convincing than this moment?
"No wonder Hera and Athena's children are fighting over you. Even all the gods of Olympus know about it." Nyx couldn't help but sigh.
He did not keep his promise. He just felt a headache when he thought of the night when the two goddesses were confronting each other and the moon goddess Artemis was watching the show.
It is not impossible to see the promise. Athena really meant it. After all, Athena had already told Clotho's second prophecy at that time.
And Athena had helped him a lot so far, and she kept her promise.
But...Goddess of wisdom, why are you a virgin goddess?
Actually, forget about being a virgin goddess, why are you also a god of fun?
And you are so powerful that Artemis can run out and strangle the heroic spirit. If it were you...
When he thought of this, Nuoyan immediately revealed a look of despair, and his eyes became more determined.
In this life, he was destined to be the night watchman of Queen Hera.
Fight for the glory of Queen Hera!
The goddess of night, Nyx, blinked at the side. She looked at Nuoyan, who had a determined look in his eyes. Although she didn't know what he was thinking, Nyx really wanted to say something.
That is the goddess, she will not let go of the things she likes easily, not to mention the extremely possessive queen Hera, and the arrogant goddess of wisdom Athena. If you don't follow their wishes, things may develop into terrible things.
Do you know the Trojan War?
Paris finally gave the most beautiful golden apple to the goddess of beauty Aphrodite.
Chapter 64 The choice of fate comes to you again (Happy New Year!)
"can."
When the goddess of night Nyx brought Nuoyan to the temple of Hades, the god of the underworld, in the magnificent temple lit by the divine fire, Nuoyan naturally saw the god sitting on the throne.
When Nuoyan explained his purpose to Hades, what Nuoyan and even the goddess of night Nyx did not expect was that Hades agreed very readily.
Just as Nuoyan was slightly stunned when he heard the words, he looked at the man sitting on the throne, dressed in black, looking a little gloomy and intimidating without even getting angry.
"But I have a condition." Hades said in a steady tone, staring quietly at the young man who dared to enter the underworld, "I need you to help me bring a goddess here, and her name is... Persephone!"
......
......
Persephone,
She is the daughter of Zeus, the main god, and Demeter, the goddess of agriculture. She is also the wife of Hades, the god of the underworld. Even among all the goddesses, she is famous for her beauty.
When she first appeared at the banquet of the gods, she amazed the gods.
Whether it was the king of gods Zeus, the god of the sea Poseidon, or the god of light Apollo, they could not help but get closer to her, which naturally aroused the vigilance of her mother, the goddess of agriculture Demeter.
Therefore, from then on, Demeter forbade her to contact the gods and even hid her.
By the way, the goddess of agriculture Demeter is not only one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, but she is also the sister of Hades, Zeus and Hera.
That's right, although Persephone, the future Queen of the Underworld, is the daughter of Zeus, Zeus still had his eyes on her for a long time, if Demeter hadn't reacted quickly.
Oh, yes, if that's the case, Persephone should probably call Hades, the god of the underworld, uncle.
Well, the above is the norm in Greek mythology, no need to worry about it.
Nuoyan did not refuse. When he heard the request of Hades, the god of the underworld, although he was a little surprised, surprised that Persephone had not yet become the queen of the underworld, he quickly recalled a sentence that Hera had let slip on the night of the Calydonian boar.
Hera said that she was preparing a wedding for Hades, and it was a sequel to the White Court.
So the promise was fulfilled.
However, what Nuoyan didn't know was that almost at the moment he agreed, in the ancient Temple of Destiny,
There was a soft sigh.
Clotho, the delicate goddess of fate, was standing there at a loss, holding the crystal ball containing the promise of fate in her arms.
Because in fact, at the moment when Nuoyan agreed to Apollo and the thread of fate with Orpheus intersected, Clotho had already seen it. He saw the thread of fate representing Hades, the god of the underworld, intersecting with Nuoyan despite her obstruction.
And most importantly, this is just the beginning.
When the thread of fate of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, became intertwined with the promise, everything began to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
At that moment, whether it was Clotho, her sickly second sister Lachesis, or even the emotionless eldest sister Atropos, they were all stunned for a while.
Because then one, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, a hundred thousand... yes, at that moment countless threads of fate intersected with the promise.
Intertwined with this young man who was abandoned by the goddess of fate but at the same time loved by her.
They surround the crystal ball filled with the promise of destiny, but at the same time they never extend the future destiny...
The three goddesses of fate naturally knew what this meant.
This means that Nuoyan’s decision in the future will determine the future of these people.
These people may end their lives because of the decision made in their promise, or they may have a better future.
And this scene was not the first time that the three goddesses of fate had seen it.
Back then in the pure white court, when Nuoyan was thinking about how to judge, the three goddesses of fate had actually seen this scene.
But even at that time, it had never been so exaggerated!
So from that day on, Kloto had been trying to grasp and spy on Nuoyan's future fate. In just a few days, she looked at hundreds of different results tirelessly and without a moment's rest.
But no matter how different the processes are, the results are surprisingly consistent.
Those are the results that the goddess of fate least wants to see!
"Sister, why didn't you tell Nuoyan about all this?" The emotionless Atropos stood quietly in the distance, watching Clotho trying again, and asked his sick second sister Lachesis with some confusion.
"She probably didn't want to put the child into such a difficult choice and wanted to try to help him."
The second sister Lachesis coughed twice as she spoke. Her face was pale, but she had a smile on her face. After all, she saw Clotho, who had not left the Temple of Destiny for hundreds of years and had been learning from Atropos, trying to make himself emotionless.
He can actually show such an expression nowadays.
While the second sister Lachesis felt distressed, she was actually more happy for Clotho.
"...Then why didn't we stop all this from happening in the first place?" Atropos was silent for a while, looked at the situation on the crystal ball, and asked again.
The second sister Lachesis glanced at her and said, "If I could have stopped it, I would have stopped it long ago, but this fate is not what happened today, but it was foreshadowed during the trial of the Pure White Court.
But at that time, he was stopped by our Kloto, intentionally or unintentionally.
But this is fate, fate is so fickle, even we can only watch over it, not control it, so even if we can escape for a while, it will eventually find us, and even turn into... a worse situation. "
After saying so many words in one breath, the second sister Lachesis almost fainted on the spot because she couldn't recover.
"What should we do then?" Atropos asked in confusion.
"What should we do?" The second sister Lachesis looked at Atropos in front of her with depression. Atropos was usually calm and rational, but he would act stupidly when it came to his sister.
"We are not Clotho, and why should we let our sister suffer? Of course we should do what we have to do!"
So Lachesis and Atropos slipped out of the temple quietly while Clotho was not paying attention, one went before the gods, and the other came to the human world.
That night I entered the underworld, at the fork in the road in front of the tomb.
When the original night is over, and even the next day, when the sky is about to get dark.
Nuoyan finally returned to the human world from the underworld holding the underworld lantern.
......
......
As soon as Nuoyan came back, he was surprised to find that the goddess he met last night and who helped him go to the underworld was standing under a tree waiting for him.
Because she was wearing a black veil, Nuoyan couldn't see her face clearly. He could only vaguely see a pair of very beautiful red eyes.
When she saw her, before Nuoyan could say anything, she stepped forward, took the Dark Lamp from Nuoyan's hand, and accompanied by a sudden scattering of Dark Butterflies, the goddess disappeared in front of Nuoyan.
"Strange, could it be that I didn't pay attention to something and made her angry?"
To be honest, this was the first time that Nuoyan met such an impolite goddess, so he couldn't help but feel a little confused for a moment.
What Nuoyan didn't know was that she was not angry, she just disliked it.
That’s right, this goddess disliked Nuoyan, because she knew that Nuoyan was a troublesome guy from the first time she saw him last night!
This goddess is called Hecate.
She is a very special goddess in ancient Greece. Although she lives in the underworld, she is not a god of the underworld. To be precise, she does not belong to any side.
She is the triple goddess of opportunity, as well as the goddess of magic in ancient Greek mythology and the creator of magic.
And she was the teacher of the witch Medea at the end of the Journey of the Golden Fleece.
At the same time, we must remember that this world is Type-Moon, so as a goddess who is the creator of magic in the Age of Gods, her strength needs no further explanation.
And it just so happens that she is also one of the controllers of fate, and the one she controls is the most special aspect of fate. So when she saw the messy fate of Nuoyan last night,
There was only one thought left in the goddess' mind, which was to stay away from this guy!
Nuoyan naturally didn't know all this, but although he was confused, he didn't care too much. He looked at the sky where the sun was about to set, and returned to the town before dark. Outside the town, he saw Orpheus from afar.
Orpheus was no longer drunk as he was the night before. When he woke up in the morning, he was surprised to learn from others that Nuoyan had really come to find him.
And not only did he see how utterly miserable he was, he even paid for his wine and bought his harp. After that, the ashamed Orpheus had already packed his clothes and stood anxiously at the gate of the town, waiting for the promise for a day.
Nuoyan, who was far away, saw that Orpheus seemed to have cheered up again, so he prepared to wave to him and was somewhat impatient to share the good news with him.
Nuoyan did bring back good news, because in the underworld, Hades not only agreed to his request, but also supported Nuoyan with a very terrifying artifact in bringing back Persephone.
