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

Orpheus also reacted after hearing this, and before Nuoyan could speak, he said to Nuoyan: "Yes, Nuoyan, you take the lyre.

Otherwise, I will live in guilt all my life and dare not meet you."

Eurydice also spoke up and said to Nuoyan: "Take it, Nuoyan. This is the only compensation we can give you."

"......What do you mean by only? You still want to get on board and work for me for nothing. Don't even think about running away!"

"And even so, I can't just take it away." Nuoyan said, and strummed the lyre gently.

Then he looked at Orpheus seriously and said, "Orpheus, let's have a competition, in the presence of Apollo, the god of light, and Artemis, the goddess of the moon."

"Competition?" Orpheus was slightly stunned.

"Yeah, that's right." Nuoyan nodded, raised the lyre in his hand, and said with a smile: "We are here to compete in lyre skills, and at the same time... this is also my revenge."

Then, under the witness of the two gods, Orpheus and Nuoyan played the piano together.

When Apollo heard how cheerful the music was, he immediately realized that this was not a competition at all, but a small party held under the pretext of Nuoyan.

The banquet was to welcome the two of them together across the underworld of life and death.

Orpheus naturally noticed it as well. He had been hesitating whether to let Nuoyan go. At this moment, he looked at Nuoyan with an extremely complicated expression, then smiled helplessly and shook his head, agreeing with Nuoyan.

Apollo, who also laughed, took out his harp and played for the two of them. He also let the light spread the sound, so that more and more creatures came here, sitting with Artemis and Eurydice, or falling on the laurel tree Daphne.

The bright sunshine shines here, and the mirror-like pond reflects the scene of all living creatures accompanying them. At this moment, all this is like a beautiful painting.

Later, it got dark.

Nuoyan called the white Pegasus from the stars, and prepared to say goodbye to everyone under the unhappy gaze of Artemis.

He gave a reason that even Artemis could not stop him, which was that he was now going to meet the mother of the goddess Persephone - the goddess of agriculture Demeter.

So even though they were unhappy, the moon goddess Artemis still took out the golden apple, and Apollo also took out the apple and handed it to Nuoyan.

Including the apples from Hades and Persephone, Nuoyan now has a total of five golden apples on him.

"Oh, right, little Nuoyan." Artemis looked at the golden apple and then remembered and said to Nuoyan, "Little Nuoyan, remember to go see little Ata when you have time. She is still angry with you."

"Angry?" Nuoyan was stunned and looked at Artemis in confusion.

"You forgot your promise. When you left that day, you didn't even say goodbye to little Ata. She had been waiting for you in Calydon. Later, she came to me and found out that you had left long ago."

Hearing this, Nuoyan's body stiffened slightly. He remembered that in order to avoid Meleager, he couldn't wait to run away with Hermes that day and he really forgot about this incident.

"Little Ata was very angry afterwards." Artemis blinked and said to Nuoyan with a smile: "She even said in front of me that she would hunt you down next time she saw you!"

Nuoyan was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that he managed to dodge Artemis but failed to dodge Atalanta!

Atalanta has told Artemis all this, so the next time they meet, there is no way she can escape being hunted!

"Atalanta, may I ask the respected goddess Artemis, is that person beautiful?" Eurydice, who had noticed something, came over and couldn't help asking. Even Daphne, the goddess of the laurel tree, pricked up her ears curiously.

"Little Ata is very cute." Before Artemis could answer, Apollo smiled and answered: "He is a smart, cute and energetic child."

"Oh!" Eurydice understood. She looked at Nuoyan with a smile and said, "Nuoyan, this is your fault. How could you ignore such a lovely woman?"

"No, she and I actually..." Nuoyan was planning to explain, but when he saw Orpheus coming closer to him, he felt that there was no way to explain this matter, and the more he explained, the more confusing it became, so he simply stopped talking.

After rolling his eyes at the two guys and telling Artemis and Apollo that he knew, Pegasus spread his silver wings and prepared to leave with his promise.

"Wait a minute, Promise!" At this moment, Orpheus and Eurydice spoke at the same time and called him.

Nuoyan looked at them like this and couldn't help but smile: "What's wrong, are you unwilling to be avenged by me?"

The two looked at each other and laughed together. Then, as if they had discussed it with everyone so far, they looked at Nuoyan and said to him, "Nuoyan, tell me, is Teacher Chiron confused?"

"Huh?" Nuoyan was stunned.

"Because, he actually asked you to go down the mountain!"

Chapter 3 Hera, you came just in time! (k)

"Oh, by the way, Brother Ma, come to think of it, I haven't apologized to you yet."

Under the starry night sky, Promise, sitting on the Pegasus and holding the reins, spoke to the Pegasus in the gentle night breeze.

Upon hearing this, Tianma tilted his head and looked at Nuoyan, with human-like doubt in his eyes.

"Look, didn't I accidentally tear your painting?" Nuoyan said with an embarrassed look.

The reason why Pegasus was willing to give Nuoyan the chance to catch him was actually because of the picture that Nuoyan drew for it at that time. Nuoyan naturally still remembered this.

Later, that painting became a prop for Nuoyan to summon Pegasus.

Tianma shook his head and called Nuoyan twice softly, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

Because ever since Nuoyan caught it, the painting has become irrelevant. And now even if there is no painting, no matter where Nuoyan is, as long as he calls it, it will definitely hear him.

"Well... wait until I get the pen and canvas, then I'll draw a picture for you, how about that?" Nuoyan didn't understand what Tianma meant, but when he saw that it didn't blame him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tianma nodded when he heard that. It would be good to have a painting, so that he could summon it directly when he encountered danger, just like he did in the underworld.

"But speaking of brushes and canvases... do you think I should find some time to go look for Goddess Athena?" Nuoyan pondered, "It's been quite some time since she told me about this, and there's no news at all."

Not only that, I haven't seen it since the incident with the Calydonian boar.

When she thought about how so many things had happened recently but she hadn't come out to watch the fun, Nuoyan felt a little uncomfortable.

Tianma said nothing and continued on his way.

It said that it was a very smart Pegasus and knew exactly when to speak and when to eat grass!

Later, Nuoyan, who was dozing off a little bit, fell asleep unknowingly.

What Nuoyan didn't know was that as soon as he fell asleep, the Pegasus stopped because a chariot in the night sky was running towards him...It was the chariot of Nyx, the goddess of night, one of the five original gods in ancient Greek mythology.

From the carriage, Nyx, wearing a divine robe decorated with night and stars, appeared with a smile. She entered the carriage holding the sleeping Nuoyan, and Pegasus stood with the horses that were the embodiment of night, pulling the carriage of night among the stars.

After a long time, when Nuoyan woke up, he found that the sky had already brightened.

And the destination has been reached.

With the promise, Pegasus stopped in front of the temple that Demeter built for Persephone.

After falling, Nuoyan looked at the hundred-eyed giant Argus in front of him, who was looking at him together with the two giant lions, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Argos, why are you still here?" Nuoyan asked with some confusion.

Argus remained silent.

The hundreds of eyes densely packed on his body looked at Nuoyan, even revealing a bit of resentment and grievance, and said: "Since you entered the temple that day, you have never come out again.

I thought something happened to you, and I was hesitating whether to rush into the temple...”

Hearing this, Nuoyan was stunned, and then looked extremely embarrassed. He bowed his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry Argus, I should have told you my story as soon as possible."

"It's okay." Argus shook his head, stood up, and said, "As long as you are okay, I can have the face to see the noble Queen Hera."

Having said that, Argus turned around and walked away step by step. Every step its huge body took made the ground tremble.

"Forget it, I'll find some time to make it up to him." Looking at his departing back and then at the temple in front of him, Nuoyan shook his head and did not chase after him because he had more important things to do.

Then he raised his head and was about to say something to the two giant lions guarding the gate.

But I saw that they had already opened the door for me, and lay down very obediently, wagging their tails for me, as if welcoming me...

Not only that, as soon as Nuoyan entered the temple, he found that his nymphs were even more enthusiastic than last time. They chattered around Nuoyan, just like when Nuoyan was in the underworld. Nuoyan dealt with them for a long time, until...

"Ahem...what are you doing?"

A gentle but unhappy voice sounded, and instantly all the nymphs stopped moving. Then they obediently left Nuoyan and stood on both sides with their heads lowered.

Nuoyan looked at the goddess Demeter who was walking towards him. She was wearing a ring-shaped crown woven with golden wheat ears, and had kind eyes and a very maternal aura.

Thinking that Persephone was still in the underworld and that he was the culprit, although he was mentally prepared to return here, he still felt a little guilty.

"Goddess Demeter, I..." Just as Demeter came in front of him, they looked at each other. Looking at her complicated expression, Nuoyan was about to say something.

"Come with me," Demeter interrupted.

He turned around and came to the beautiful courtyard pavilion of that day with his promise.

As soon as he arrived here, Nuoyan saw Demeter turning around and looking at him, and suddenly swore to him: "I, the goddess of agriculture, Demeter, swear in my name that I will never let the earth wither, all things die, and let desolation come to the world."

When Demeter's oath was just established, in the ancient temple of destiny.

The two sisters of Clotho, the goddess of fate, witnessed with their own eyes the thread of fate connected to the crystal ball of promise, which began to evolve and transform into a future that was absolutely impossible to come into being.

"Ah... Looks like we'll be busy for a while."

The frail Lachesis spread her hands helplessly. She complained but there was a smile on her face.

"Sorry, sister..." Kloto, holding the crystal ball, said very embarrassedly.

"Hey, it's okay, after all, this is all for my lovely sister and your little troublemaker."

Lachesis waved her hand to indicate that it was all right, then thought for a moment and said, "But it's really annoying that he always causes trouble for us. Next time, sister, you have to teach him a lesson on our behalf when you see him!"

And Cloto nodded slightly and agreed: "Okay, I'll hit him with the ball."

What's the difference between the force you hit him with and gently rubbing him... Even Atropos, who has no emotions, twitched the corners of his mouth twice, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

But in the end, nothing was said.

After all, she is their sister.

......

"Goddess Demeter..."

After hearing her oath, Nuoyan, who had returned to his senses, naturally looked at her with some surprise.

"You completed the test I gave you... Although I am saddened by my daughter's departure, I find that I cannot be angry with you."

Demeter looked at Nuoyan with complicated and tender eyes. After all, she was an absolute participant in this event. She witnessed how Nuoyan came to her and how he completed the trial with incredible behavior.

"Not only can I not be angry with you, I am actually happy for you from the bottom of my heart...Hera really has a good believer." Demeter said with emotion.

And it's a bit of a waste to give it to her...

At the same time, I couldn't help but think so in my heart.

"Oh, by the way, Demeter, that's why I came here to talk about this. Goddess Persephone will be back in about ten days." Nuoyan said after he came back to his senses.

"......Huh?" Demeter was stunned and blinked at Nuoyan.

"My daughter, will she come back?" Demeter opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

"Of course, because I promised you, Goddess Demeter."

Nuoyan nodded and said: "Even if I really want to take the goddess Persephone away, I must get your consent..."

Having said this, Nuoyan paused for a moment before smiling at Demeter in front of him and said, "Goddess Demeter, you don't think that I am a person who does not keep my word, do you?"

"No, I didn't!" Demeter waved her hands in panic and said, "I didn't think about it that way. It's just that my daughter...she finally ran away and was willing to come back. I really didn't expect it!"

Nuoyan blinked at Demeter when he heard this. He found that he roughly understood how the mother and daughter got along with each other.

But it's no wonder that Demeter thought Persephone would not come back. After all, on the way to the underworld that day, Persephone had already said that she didn't care about the horror of the underworld and was still willing to stay there.

"Is that so?" Demeter's expression eased. She was no longer gloomy and confused. She smiled from the bottom of her heart and said, "My daughter will come back..."

After saying that, Demeter looked at Nuoyan, and the last trace of estrangement in her eyes disappeared.

Some of them are filled with gazes like a mother looking at her lovely children.

So she couldn't bear it any longer, and stretched out her hand to Nuoyan, calling him, "Child, come here."

With that, Demeter, holding his hand, led Promise into the pavilion and sat down.

She looked at him lovingly and said, "You suffered a lot in the underworld, didn't you?"

suffer?

Nuoyan recalled his days in the underworld and couldn't help but nod.

Suffering indeed.

At one point, he was afraid that Hades would lose control and grab him and throw him into the River Styx.

Oh yeah, I remember there was a hero who took a dip in the water of the Styx and became invulnerable to swords and guns...

Just when Nuoyan suddenly thought of this.
