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

This was the first time that it was not called by the promise, but came to him on its own initiative.

Pegasus folded his silver wings and looked at Nuoyan with human-like worry in his eyes.

"Are you worried about me?" Nuoyan was stunned for a moment, then asked Tianma after he understood.

Tianma nodded and called out softly twice again.

Nuoyan couldn't help laughing when he heard it, he stepped forward and rubbed its head, saying: "Thank you, but I'm fine... I can't say I'm completely fine, but..."

Having said that, Nuoyan thought for a long time.

"Pegasus, can you take me somewhere?"

The Pegasus nodded and swung its hooves vigorously on the ground.

"I want to go see someone. If this is really the end for me, I think... I should at least say goodbye to him in advance."

Chapter 3 I will take her to the underworld today! (k)

Arcadia, inside the Pilwen Cave.

in the afternoon,

Outside the wooden house made of trees, the Centaur Sage was sitting under a lush tree, with his eyes closed, holding a golden harp and playing a beautiful melody.

And waiting for the arrival of that child.

Soon the sound of Pegasus galloping was heard above Chiron. A smile appeared on Chiron's face. He opened his eyes and looked at the student who had finally returned after half a year's absence.

That’s right, the person Nuoyan ultimately wanted to meet was his teacher.

The one who taught him and protected him for more than three years, and even though Nuoyan did not listen to him and ran away with Jason, he still stayed behind to protect him.

The teacher who didn't leave until he fulfilled his promise to Athena.

"Long time no see, teacher."

Pegasus landed in front of Chiron. Nuoyan got off the horse and looked at Chiron, the person who cared about him the most in the ancient Greek Age of Gods, and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Yes, Nuoyan is indeed protected and looked after by goddesses such as Athena and Clotho, but that has only been the case for the past six months or so.

And what about the three years before that?

Just think about how much effort Chiron spent on this delicate student who seemed like he could be blown down by the wind, but was more obedient and hardworking than anyone else and wanted to become a hero.

"You have grown up." Chiron smiled, he was very happy and relieved.

"I've heard that voice, heard the whole world singing your story, the promise you made."

"Yeah." Nuoyan nodded and said, "But it's not enough."

"Is that so?" Chiron smiled again and said, "Then go ahead. I will always keep an eye on you."

"Huh?" Nuoyan blinked, looked at Chiron in surprise, and said, "Teacher, aren't you going to stop me?"

Think about Nuoyan’s friends, what was their first reaction when they saw Nuoyan?

Nuoyan, you actually went down the mountain, Teacher Chiron is so confused!

Yes, the teacher is confused. Almost everyone thinks so, including Nuoyan himself. He feels that Teacher Chiron will definitely persuade him to stay on the mountain this time.

"Because you have grown up." Chiron stood up and looked at the boy in front of him, who was still fragile but had repeatedly attracted the attention of gods and the attention of people.

"You are no longer just seeking death like you did before. Instead, you choose to challenge death when facing it. So I naturally don't need to keep you on the mountain anymore."

Nuoyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this and looked at Chiron in front of him.

He finally understood why Chiron had not allowed him to go down the mountain.

When they were on the mountain, many people thought that Nuoyan's idea of ​​becoming a hero was a difficult dream to achieve because he was too weak, but in fact Chiron always believed that Nuoyan would definitely become a hero.

The reason why Chiron had always opposed him going down the mountain was simply because of the promise he made at that time, which was just a formal death.

"...Mr. Chiron, let me draw a picture for you."

After a period of silence, Noyan said to Chiron.

Hearing this, Chiron laughed, reached out and touched Nuoyan's head, and said, "You forgot that I am also a god, teacher, and I have received your painting a long time ago."

Have it?

Seeing Nuoyan looking at him blankly.

Chiron smiled and looked at the boy who was gradually being sculpted into shape before him.

"Your growth, for me as a teacher, is the best painting ever presented to me."

Later, Nuoyan prepared to leave.

Nuoyan sat on the Pegasus, looking at his teacher who was smiling and watching him go in the sunset. Nuoyan thought for a long time before saying, "Teacher Chiron, I will survive."

"Because I haven't changed your fate yet."

After saying this, Pegasus flapped its wings and ran across the sky with the setting sun carrying the promise.

The goddess Athena, who had been watching him and witnessed all this, turned her head to look at the Queen Hera beside her who did not say a word.

"No way Hera, you're jealous even of this?"

Queen Hera said nothing when she heard this.

On the contrary, the goddess of justice Themis couldn't help but covered her mouth and smiled.

As the gods looked at her smile with disbelief, Themis said calmly, "But Athena, I seem to feel the same jealousy in you."

After Themis finished speaking, the scene suddenly became very quiet.

Queen Hera looked at Athena with disdain.

Hermes and Artemis wanted to laugh, but Hermes's face was bruised and swollen, and it hurt if he twitched the corner of his mouth.

So Artemis looked at this scene and surprisingly suppressed her laughter...

Later, the gods actually discussed what to do next for Promise, but they could never reach a conclusion.

Because it seemed obvious that Nuoyan's best option was to use the helmet given by Hades and quietly take Persephone away when Demeter was not paying attention.

After all, in this way he could not only fulfill his promise to Hades and his friends, but also put an end to the matter, so that Athena and the others could take action.

But even the moon goddess Artemis knew that Nuoyan would definitely not do that.

But Nuoyan had no such intention from the beginning to the end, and he made the choice that Athena and the others unanimously agreed was the worst.

That is...

......

......

At dawn the next day,

Nuoyan once again came to the temple where Persephone was imprisoned, and this time he did not wear the invisibility helmet given to him by Hades, the god of the underworld.

The Pegasus flew over the ancient forest, directly within the sight of the goddess Demeter, and landed directly in front of the gate of the temple!

The pair of giant lions that had been guarding here in compliance with Demeter's orders naturally stood up, baring their sharp fangs, and looked fiercely at Nuoyan and the Pegasus who had put him down.

However, because they could sense the bright aura of many gods on Nuoyan, they hesitated and did not take action immediately.

Then Nuoyan simply tore up the painting of the hundred-eyed giant Argus in his hand, because if it was just a projection, it would obviously not be able to subdue the two giant lions in front of him. Argus had to come here in person.

When the painting was torn into pieces, Argos walked out of the painting and came here. He looked at the two giant lions in front of him who were obviously a little confused by his sudden appearance, and then looked at Nuoyan.

"Thank you, dear Argus."

Upon hearing this, Argus rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get to work.

"Wait, that's not what I meant!"

Nuoyan hurriedly called it to stop, looked at the two giant lions in front of him, smiled and said: "Excuse me, would you like to listen to my playing a song?"

As he spoke, Nuoyan took out the ink-colored shepherd's flute given to him by Hermes.

The two giant lions looked at the hundred-eyed giant Argus, then looked at the bright eyes of the gods on Nuoyan, looked at each other, and finally nodded.

So Nuoyan blew the inky shepherd's flute, and the beautiful flute sounded. About ten minutes later, not only the two giant lions fell down, but even Argus who came to help closed his eyes. Even the Pegasus could not withstand it.

They all hugged each other and fell asleep.

Nuoyan looked at them sleeping, then walked into the temple.

As soon as I approached, I met several nymphs who were serving the gods in the temple.

However, they did not come to stop Nuoyan, but came over out of curiosity to eat melons.

Not only did they not stop him, but when they knew that Nuoyan was coming to find Demeter, they even stepped aside and pointed Nuoyan in the direction...

So just like that, Nuoyan walked into the temple openly this time, and came to the courtyard where it was spring all year round under the power of the goddess Demeter.

Demeter was sitting in a pavilion in the courtyard at this time.

The goddess Persephone loved flowers, all kinds of flowers, so the temple prepared by Demeter was actually very thoughtful and decorated with all kinds of beautiful flowers.

One of the reasons why Hades, the god of the underworld, fell in love with Persephone was that she had the power to make flowers bloom even in the underworld.

Persephone is the goddess of seeds.

In ancient Greek mythology, when she was in the underworld, she represented the seeds sleeping in the dark soil. When she returned to the ground, she represented the arrival of spring and the revival of all things.

Nuoyan looked at the seated goddess Demeter, and then walked towards her lightly, and during this time Demeter did not even turn her head to look at her.

Only after Nuoyan finally arrived did she sigh quietly, turn her head and ask Nuoyan: "Child, why can't my daughter understand her mother's painstaking efforts?"

Hearing the promise, there was no answer.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Demeter smiled, but her smile was very gentle, and said: "Hera asked you to come... Is she going to ask you to draw a picture to make me and my daughter happy?"

It is obvious that Demeter knew Nuoyan. It should be said that after seeing Artemis' painting that night, it was hard not to know Nuoyan, plus Hera had boasted about it at the beginning.

So Demeter naturally made this judgment.

She was quite happy, thinking that if it was Nuoyan's painting, it might really make Persephone, who was always depressed, happy.

In this regard, Nuoyan didn't have to answer... Although he couldn't lie, he just had to tell some other truths.

But Nuoyan's answer was so straightforward that the gentle smile on Demeter's face froze in an instant.

"Do not."

Nuoyan shook his head and replied, "It was Hades, the god of the underworld, who asked me to come here."

Hearing the name of Hades, the god of the underworld, Demeter was stunned and before she could react, she heard the promise and continued to speak softly: "He asked me to come here and take your daughter, the goddess Persephone, to the underworld."

Chapter 4.5 Goddess, isn't this like being a hero? k

When Demeter heard this, she naturally froze.

The purple eyes looked at the boy in front of him. He thought he had heard wrongly, so he didn't say anything. After a long while, he frowned and asked Nuoyan in an uncertain tone: "You said that Hades asked you to come, and you want to take my daughter away?"

"Yeah." Nuoyan nodded.

Demeter understood, and she also understood why Nuoyan had just made her two giant lions who were guarding the gate unconscious.

This young man did not come to pay homage to the god, but to break into her temple.

When she understood, Demeter was not angry... To be precise, she was furious for a moment and almost wanted to take action. But when she looked at the promise in front of her, this thought immediately disappeared.

Even laughed.

Demeter was about to say something with a smile when she heard Nuoyan speak first, saying, "The truth is, it's like this..."

Then, Nuoyan got the lyre from Apollo, the god of light, and went to find his friend Orpheus. He learned everything that he had encountered, and finally went to the underworld to fulfill the agreement with Hades. He told Demeter everything.

During this time, Demeter did not interrupt Nuoyan's words. In fact, she became more and more excited the more she listened. When Nuoyan finished speaking, she blinked and could not help but urged Nuoyan: "What happened next? What happened next?"

Nuoyan did not answer, but looked at her with his emerald eyes, slightly subtle.

Demeter then realized that now was the time when Nuoyan came to find her.

Demeter responded and smiled embarrassedly, then said to Nuoyan: "My child, you may have made a mistake. Hades may not have asked you to come to me, but to go to Athena, Hera and the others."

Faced with the man who came to see her and promised to take her daughter away, Demeter really couldn't feel angry.

Let's put it this way, Demeter felt that the situation she was facing was that a very cute kitten came to her, meowed and told her that it wanted to take her daughter away.
