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

Hecate immediately realized that she was too late after all!

Chapter 6 Mother Demeter, calm down, I am your daughter! (k)

Hecate, goddess of roads,

Hecate is the triple goddess of opportunity, the goddess of magic, and one of the very few unmarried goddesses in ancient Greek mythology.

She is very special in two aspects. First, Hecate does not belong to the underworld or the sky. She does not belong to either side, but she can move freely in either side.

And because of the help she gave to Zeus during the war of gods, Zeus respects her very much even now... Of course, it may not be as simple as respect. Hecate wears a veil all year round and stays in the eternally dark underworld without going out. No matter how you look at it, she has a certain relationship with Zeus.

The second is the power that Hecate controls.

She represents the accidental factors of fate. Her appearance will add some lubrication to the gears of time that are destined to run, leaving room for the unpredictable.

To put it simply, Hecate, like the three goddesses of fate, is also the controller of fate. The power she possesses is the uncertain factors composed of chance and coincidence.

This is also the reason why Hecate did not hide the disgust in her eyes the moment she saw Nuoyan for the first time.

Wow, four threads of fate intersect with goddesses, and each goddess is not simple. You are really brave, young man!

In addition, because of Demeter's incident at that time, he was burdened with countless destinies.

Hecate, the goddess of home who only wanted to do research, did not kick away the promise that seemed like a collection of troubles under that circumstance, but honestly completed her work, which was already very merciful.

At the same time, it was also for this reason that she, who possessed the power of destiny, knew one thing very early on, that is, if she wanted to avoid the big trouble of Nuoyan and not have anything to do with him, she must keep an eye on her student - Medea!

Although the two of them were destined to meet, as long as it was the normal end of the Golden Fleece's journey, it would have nothing to do with her.

But if we had met before then...

......

Inside the Temple of Hecate.

"Um, teacher?"

Medea as a young girl, tilting her head cutely, looking in front of her with a puzzled expression, showing an expression of "I'm tired, why hasn't the world been destroyed yet!" Hecate lying on a chair.

Nuoyan, who followed closely, was looking at his left hand in confusion.

He found that the silver chain on his left hand was still there.

The biggest function of this chain is to block the divine power, but Nuoyan can naturally ignore this. After all, let alone divine power, the weak magic power in his body was accumulated bit by bit by eating golden apples.

Just as Nuoyan pulled the chain slightly and the chain made a crisp friction sound, Hecate, who had a look of despair on her face, heard the sound and finally turned her head to look at him again.

And discovered the silver chain in his hand.

Hecate saw through the true nature of the chains at a glance. Her red eyes widened instantly and she jumped up.

"Wait, what's that in your hand... No, you were imprisoned by a goddess and I accidentally rescued you!"

"Well...thank you, beautiful goddess Hecate." Nuoyan thought for a while, and as Medea, who was a little surprised when she heard it, blinked and looked at him, he gave Hecate a bright smile.

"...Don't tell me that the goddess who imprisoned you is Hera's daughter, the god of craftsmen, Hephaestus!"

Hecate secretly ran over to watch the excitement. It was so miserable. Hera was imprisoned and lost her divine power. She cried helplessly. It was so miserable that no gods dared to mention the incident again.

"Goddess Hecate is so powerful." Upon hearing this, Nuoyan praised her without reservation.

That’s right, she was able to bring out the promise so easily from the chains that even the gods couldn’t break... Although it was mainly because she took advantage of a loophole, and it happened that Hephaestus was too tired and fell asleep.

However, Nuoyan's praise did not make Hecate happy, and the expression on her face almost got out of control.

What she wanted to do most now was to take out her staff and hit Nuoyan, the troublesome guy, back like playing golf.

After all, Hecate naturally saw that Nuoyan was not freed from the chains at all, but was just teleported away.

If Hephaestus could understand magic after waking up, he would just need to crack the spell and recall her.

Even if he doesn't know how to do it, just take the remaining half and go out. Just get close to Nuoyan, and the chain will automatically merge and bind Nuoyan again.

"Wait, I suddenly remembered that you are a loyal follower of Hera, and Hera loves you very much, right... You really dare!"

"No wonder Hephaestus imprisoned you..."

Hecate, feeling emotional about this, suddenly thought of the trial in the underworld. She glanced at Medea who was blinking curiously and listening beside her, and suddenly she felt that the world was dark again.

She really didn't want to have anything to do with such a troublesome guy!

Nuoyan did not answer, he just thought that this goddess was really interesting.

I have seen so many goddesses so far, but none of them is like the goddess in front of me, who is free from the burden of being a goddess.

The expressions on his face are so rich.

"Forget it, never mind. The worst that can happen is that after I send you two away, I will close the temple and keep it for hundreds of years before I can go out again!" Hecate finally made up her mind and cheered herself up again... It's a broken jar, things have come to this point, so let's do whatever they want!

Then she looked at Medea beside her and said, "Medea, you've always wanted to see him, right? Now that you've seen him, why don't you go over and say hello to him?"

"Hmm?" Medea, upon hearing this, looked at Hecate in confusion.

"You forgot the excitement I took you to see that night, and the painting in the night."

Medea remembered everything instantly after hearing the words, as if she understood something. She looked at the teacher with wide eyes, then tilted her head to look at Nuoyan in great surprise.

"Yes, he drew it..."

Hecate paused and looked at Nuoyan and said, "She is my student Medea. Do you know her?"

Nuoyan thought about it for a while, and finally nodded honestly.

Not just know each other, but not too familiar with each other.

"It would be easier if we know each other. I'm handing her over to you anyway, you two can handle it yourselves!"

After saying that, Hecate stood up and actually left.

And what she said before she left made Medea blush.

After all, entrusting yourself to a promise or something...what nonsense is the teacher talking about!

Then, when there were only two of them left, their eyes naturally met.

Medea stared at the handsome young man with clear emerald eyes in front of her. When she thought that he was the one who painted that night, her ears turned red.

I was so nervous that I couldn’t speak for a moment. After a while, I managed to calm down, bowed my head to Nuoyan, and said in panic: "Um, um, I'm so sorry!

Sorry, my teacher, she, she...she's not usually like this."

Medea was so nervous that she was incoherent and didn't know what to say for a moment.

But Hecate is not like this on weekdays. She speaks very little, and it usually takes a long time for her to go out and meet Medea to guide her with the doubts she has accumulated in her studies.

Looking at her like this, Nuoyan couldn't help but laugh...even if she would become the traitorous witch in the future, the witch who killed his own brother and children.

Nuoyan also knew this.

But he also knew that at this moment, Medea was indeed just an innocent, lovable girl.

"It's okay. This is not the first time I've met the goddess Hecate... Oh, by the way, my name is Nuoyan, and I'm a student of the Centaur Sage Chiron..."

As he spoke, Nuoyan took the initiative to communicate with Medea, and his soft voice and gentle smile gradually soothed the tension in Medea's heart.

When Nuoyan learned that Medea had stayed in this temple for several years and had hardly ever gone out, and was alone without anyone to talk to, Nuoyan naturally sensed her curiosity and desire for the outside world.

So Nuoyan started talking about his own story, saying how he was persecuted on Mount Chiron, and now he was going down the mountain to seek revenge on them one by one.

At the same time, he also told Medea that he would go to find the Golden Fleece under the witness of Queen Hera.

When Nuoyan mentioned this, Medea was obviously very surprised. She wanted to say something but stopped herself several times, but in the end she said nothing, and he did not point it out.

Because when Hecate asked Nuoyan whether he knew Medea, Nuoyan actually knew in his heart that the goddess knew about the Golden Fleece.

And he probably knew everything, so his reaction was so big at the beginning.

Time is fleeting,

Half a day passed by unknowingly.

This half day was probably the happiest time for Medea during her study abroad here. Even after she had completely relaxed, she couldn't help but complain to Nuoyan about her teacher's inaction and laissez-faire attitude.

The difference between him and the reliable Centaur sage Chiron is not too big.

Half a day later, Hecate came back and took the promise with her.

Leaving half a day specifically for students was already the limit of what she could do as a teacher. After all, Hades, the god of the underworld, and Persephone, the queen of the underworld, were still waiting for the promise.

"Goodbye Medea, see you next time."

"Well...see you next time, Nuoyan!" Medea said goodbye to Nuoyan and replied very seriously.

Hecate watched all this. Although she didn't say anything on the spot, she couldn't help but say to Nuoyan when she left the temple and went to Hades, the god of the underworld, with Nuoyan: "You troublesome little guy, stay away from my students!"

"...Goddess Hecate, what do you want me to do?"

"Don't ask me." Hecate couldn't help showing a depressed look after hearing this, and said: "I don't know either... Your future is a mess, and I can't figure it out. It's a good thing that the three goddesses of fate are kind and didn't beat you to death."

Hearing this, Nuoyan suddenly remembered something.

The White Court trial and the resurrection of those people had exhausted the three goddesses of fate, so what about the matter of goddess Demeter this time...

"Well, respectfully, Goddess Hecate, do you know what the three goddesses of fate like?"

I always feel that the next time I see Goddess Clotho, she will be angry again, and maybe even throw the crystal ball at me...

Damn, I was actually looking forward to it!

"How would I know? If you really don't know what to dedicate to, then dedicate yourself to them." Hecate answered casually.

After arriving at the designated location, accompanied by a familiar feeling, he was embraced by a group of flying Hades butterflies. The butterflies dispersed, and when Nuoyan opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at the temple of Hades, the god of the underworld.

And before Nuoyan could look around to confirm the situation.

The next second, Nuoyan found himself being hugged by someone.

Without thinking, Nuoyan knew who the person hugging him was, because he saw Hades looking at him with depression and helplessness.

Then, just as Hades was about to say something, Persephone suddenly exclaimed, grabbed Nuoyan's left hand, and looked at the chain in surprise.

Seeing this, Hades naturally discovered it as well, and after seeing clearly what it was, he was even more surprised and said: "The chain that bound Hera... Nuoyan, have you gone to see Hephaestus?"

"Yeah." Nuoyan nodded honestly.

"Hephaestus...wait, Nuoyan, you are not hurt, are you okay?" Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, suddenly became anxious and asked.

"Of course I'm fine, Goddess Persephone, because Hephaestus is a very gentle goddess." Nuoyan replied with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Even the surrounding nymphs from the underworld looked at Nuoyan with strange eyes.

Tenderness... In a sense, it's undeniable.

After all, he didn't use a hammer, so he just beat this guy that Hera doted on to death.

Persephone touched Nuoyan's forehead and found that her current mood was a bit similar to when Nuoyan said he wanted to see her mother.

At one point, it was hard to tell whether Nuoyan was abnormal or they were not normal enough!

"Hades, why are you still standing there? Help me to open it!" After coming back to her senses, Persephone immediately urged Hades.

Hades also reacted at this time, turned around and prepared to get his weapon.

But he was stopped by his promise.

When the promise indicated that this was all that was left for now, and that after returning Persephone to the goddess Demeter, he would return to Hephaestus and continue to be imprisoned by her.

Even Hades couldn't help himself and wanted to untie the silver thread left by Athena on Nuoyan's body to see what was going on in his head!

“Actually, I went to see the goddess Hephaestus for a divine artifact, and the goddess of wisdom told me that only the goddess Hephaestus could do it.

In fact, now, the goddess Hephaestus has handed over the artifact to me and made a vow with me..."

Nuoyan explained and took out the pure white feather paintbrush.

Nuoyan knew it must be very precious. After all, Hephaestus himself admitted that it was one of the most outstanding works.

But for various reasons, the promise cannot be felt intuitively.

But the gods are different.

So when she saw the paintbrush, even Hecate was moved, her face full of shock.

"You're really lucky to be just imprisoned." Hecate, who originally didn't intend to say more, couldn't help herself now.
