Not only was Demeter unable to get angry, she even wanted to pet the cute and obedient kitten in front of her.
But what she didn't expect was...
"Yes, I know. Hades, the God of the Underworld, probably thinks so."
Nuoyan nodded and replied.
Hades' intentions are not hard to guess, and the promise is not stupid.
"But for some reason, I cannot hand this matter over to the goddesses. And, Goddess Demeter, there is one thing I want to apologize to you and your daughter for. We actually met the night before yesterday."
As he spoke, under Demeter's gradually widening eyes and incredulous gaze, Nuoyan took out the invisibility helmet given to him by Hades, the god of the underworld, from the package behind him.
"I was actually there the night before last when you met with Persephone."
Just as Demeter heard these words and stared at Nuoyan blankly, she was still unable to react.
"Wait, Mother Goddess, don't hurt this child!" Someone on the side had actually been eavesdropping... After all, the noise made by Nuoyan summoning the hundred-eyed giants to sleep was quite loud.
So Persephone finally couldn't help it at this time, and ran out anxiously, standing in front of Nuoyan, looking at Demeter with a nervous face.
Demeter looked at Persephone who was running out, then looked at Nuoyan behind her, and the invisibility helmet in his hand. Her expression finally became ugly little by little, and she even began to tremble all over.
She felt scared, and finally felt threatened by Nuoyan.
If he had given this helmet to Persephone as promised the day before yesterday, then... Demeter didn't dare to think about it anymore.
She stood up and looked at Nuoyan angrily.
If Persephone had not stood in front of Nuoyan and protected him at this moment, Nuoyan would have been dead.
"Hand it over!" Demeter yelled angrily at Nuoyan.
Then......
"Yes, all right, Goddess Demeter."
Nuoyan handed her the invisibility helmet.
Then in an instant, the world became quiet again.
The gods, including Athena, who had been watching the promise, opened their mouths slightly.
Hermes had a bruised face but still insisted on eating the melon, and the melon fell to the ground.
Persephone was even more stupid.
Looking at the invisibility helmet that Nuoyan handed over, the only artifact that could allow her to escape from her mother, she was stunned for a long time. After she came to her senses, she subconsciously prepared to grab it.
But at this moment Demeter naturally reacted, so she grabbed it first, then held it, looking at Persephone with a nervous face.
"Mother, you...and the child, you...!"
Pointing at Demeter, and then at Promise, Persephone, with her eyes wide open, didn't even have time to finish her words.
"Wait Persephone what are you doing!?"
Seeing her daughter getting emotional, Demeter was afraid that it would affect Nuoyan, so she hurried forward and pulled Nuoyan behind her to protect her.
On the Holy Mountain of Olympus, Hera watched all this in a daze, then looked at Athena, and then looked at the goddess of fate Atropos who was very quiet and had no emotions at the side, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this also the future you see?"
".......I don't know!" Athena was also confused.
After all, due to the special nature of Nuoyan, Athena could not bear to see too many deaths in the future.
So he looked at Atropos.
"I don't know either." Atropos said calmly, "My sister won't let me see... or she doesn't have time to let me see. Ever since the respected God of Light gave Nuoyan the lyre, she has been spying on Nuoyan's fate, hoping to find a way to crack it."
Hearing Atropos' words, all the gods immediately turned their attention to Apollo.
Hera glared at him even more angrily.
It turns out you are the real culprit!
"No, I never thought things would turn out like this!" Apollo hurriedly explained.
Because he found that Artemis looked at him with great displeasure at this moment!
At this moment, Persephone, who felt that she had been severely backstabbed, was naturally about to cry out of anger.
She looked at the invisible helmet in her mother's hand, and then at Nuoyan who was protecting her behind her. She couldn't help but said to Nuoyan: "You, you are not here to save me at all!"
"No, Goddess Persephone, I am indeed here to take you away." Nuoyan answered honestly again.
"You're taking me away like this?!" Persephone said angrily, pointing at the invisibility helmet in Demeter's hand.
"Keep your voice down." Demeter looked at Persephone with dissatisfaction, "What if you hurt the child?"
At this moment, Persephone's facial expression control almost failed...
"Goddess Persephone, do you remember what I said to you when I met you the night before last?"
Weiyi, who had always been very calm, said in a steady voice: "I said that if I want to take you away, I must get the consent of the goddess Demeter."
When Persephone heard this, she was stunned for a moment and then naturally recalled it.
"And that night, after seeing the goddess Demeter, I became more determined to do so."
After saying this, Nuoyan looked at the puzzled Demeter, and then continued to say to Persephone: "Because even I, an outsider, can see that your mother loves you very much."
After hearing this, Persephone's anger finally subsided after looking at Demeter blankly.
She also realized how sad her mother would be if she really left with the invisibility helmet.
"But you shouldn't..." But even so, seeing the invisibility helmet, the only thing that could take her away, being held in her mother's hands, Persephone wanted to say something unwillingly.
“But this is not the main reason.”
Nuoyan interrupted Persephone and looked at Demeter who was looking at him with gratitude and tender eyes.
"Goddess Demeter, do you remember that I said that I had reasons why I could not leave the matter of taking away your daughter, Goddess Persephone, to the goddesses."
Demeter heard this, recalled the conversation just now, and nodded.
"And the reason is actually... before coming here, I had actually seen the future of this matter from the goddess of fate, Clotho."
"Krotho?" Demeter thought of something and asked, "The goddess of fate who looks into the future?"
“Yes.” Nuoyan nodded and said, “I saw from her the future that was originally destined…Persephone was taken to the underworld by Hades, the god of the underworld, and you, who were sad and angry, brought desolation to the entire earth.
Within a week, all the food crops in the world disappeared. The famine lasted for more than half a year, and tens or even millions of people died as a result. "
Nuoyan said this calmly.
But after hearing this, Demeter and Persephone were both stunned.
Then Persephone suddenly looked at Demeter, who then frowned deeply for a long time...
"If my daughter leaves me, I will definitely do this." Demeter looked up and said with a firm look in her eyes.
To her, her daughter is her whole world.
Persephone was not happy when she heard this. She trembled all over and said through gritted teeth: "Mother... my great mother goddess, you know that it is because you have always been like this that
Am I the one who always wanted to leave you? ! "
Demeter said nothing when she heard this. Although there was a hint of sadness in her eyes because of these words, she was determined.
"Anyway, I will never let you leave, especially in the underworld!"
Before Persephone could say anything, Nuoyan spoke first and said to the goddess Demeter: "So I can't leave this matter to the goddesses, because I want to change everything."
When Persephone and Demeter looked at him, Nuoyan said, "Before I take Persephone away, I must make you promise me, Demeter, not to let that future happen."
Looking at the cat Nuoyan in front of her, speaking to her so seriously, Demeter couldn't help but laugh again.
Persephone also laughed helplessly because of the promise, then sighed and shook her head and said: "Child, my mother will never agree to you, because she will never let me leave..."
"No, the goddess Demeter will agree."
Nuoyan said, and before Demeter could speak, Nuoyan smiled, looked at the invisible helmet in her hand, and said: "Although I feel a little sorry for Hades, the god of the underworld, but... Goddess Demeter, you have just received my tribute."
"And this is a tribute you can't refuse."
When Nuoyan said this, while all the gods were unable to react for a moment, Athena... smiled.
At this moment she finally understood what Nuoyan was doing.
And this is something that the gods cannot do, only humans can do.
"I, the great Olympian god, goddess of agriculture Demeter, student of the Centaur Sage Chiron, and faithful follower of the Queen of Heaven Hera, hereby pledge my gratitude to you,
Here is a special tribute!"
Nuoyan took a few steps back.
Before Persephone and Demeter could react, Nuoyan saluted Demeter in a standard manner and said, “It is the invisibility helmet of Hades, the god of the underworld. It is a magical tool that can take your precious daughter Persephone away quietly.
And now I give it...to you!"
"Therefore, goddess Demeter, please grant a gift, or give the person who offers you a trial that can fulfill his wish!"
"And the gift, or test, that I require is for you to swear that no matter what the circumstances, you will not let the land become barren and vent your anger on the world.
At the same time, I have to let the goddess Persephone meet Hades, the god of the underworld, so that I can fulfill my promise to Hades!"
Demeter was confused.
She looked at the invisibility helmet in her hand, and stayed where she was as she looked at the promise of tribute being offered to her.
Persephone was also confused for a while, and then looking at Demeter who opened her mouth blankly, not knowing what to say, Persephone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
I laughed happily, even happily.
How to put it, what Demeter was experiencing at this moment was as if she was hit hard in the face by the sharp claws of that cute looking kitten.
This made Demeter stand there, not knowing whether to agree or not.
If she didn't agree, she would have to return the invisibility helmet to Nuoyan. After all, Athena and Hera were watching, and Demeter was not unaware of it.
But if the invisibility helmet is returned to Nuoyan, she might never be able to close her eyes again.
But if you agree...
So after a long time, Demeter smiled helplessly.
"Kid, you...seem a little greedy."
"Yeah, I know." Nuoyan nodded.
"And aren't you afraid that Hades will blame you?"
"Don't be afraid." Nuoyan shook his head and said, "Because if I can't change all this, change the fate that Goddess Clotho showed me, I don't plan to live."
After hearing the truth, Persephone, who was originally smiling, suddenly stopped smiling, and both of them looked at Nuoyan blankly.
"Why do you want to do this?" Then the goddess Demeter asked this question naturally.
"Of course, it's because of our oath." At this moment, Athena, who witnessed all this, smiled happily.
Themis said nothing, and gently shook the scales of judgment in her hand.
In the temple of the goddess of fate, Clotho gently wiped the crystal ball in his hand.
And Hera suddenly felt as if there was something on her head, not only was it a little heavy, but there was more than one...
"As for the reasons, there are actually quite a few."
After a long silence, Nuoyan raised his head, smiled and said to the goddess Demeter: "But if we really want to talk about it, let's say the same thing."
"Goddess Demeter, because I feel like a hero to be able to change the fate of so many people and alter their originally destined future!"

Chapter 70 When the sound of the piano resounded through the underworld, Nuoyan drew a picture for himself (10,000)
"Even so, I still won't agree." Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and one of the twelve Olympian gods, asked Nuoyan again.
“Then give up taking Persephone away and exchange this for your gift, goddess Demeter. It is a vow.
Kind goddess, please swear that you will not let the earth be desolate in the future. "
Nuoyan answered without hesitation, obviously he had thought about it a long time ago.
