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

He shook the painting and threw it aside, and then the Pegasus, which was about to return to the stars, was called out again by Nuoyan.

Then he put his index finger on his lips to tell Tianma not to speak, and Nuoyan took out the golden lyre from the luggage it was carrying.

This is a sacred artifact in the hands of Apollo, the god of light. Originally it should have belonged to Apollo's son Orpheus, but because of things in the underworld, it now belongs to Nuoyan.

Nuoyan naturally still remembered the small agreement he made with Atalanta a few days ago, that he owed her a harp and a painting.

Tianma squatted down beside him tactfully.

Nuoyan gathered his emotions for a while, then closed his eyes, leaned against the tree, and plucked the strings of the lyre. The lingering, subtle and long-lasting sound of the lyre rang out, just like clear spring water flowing, clearing his mind and body.

Atalanta slept more soundly to the sound of his piano.

It was not until a long time later when the music stopped that Atalanta finally woke up.

She opened her eyes and looked at Nuoyan who was holding a lyre and greeting her with a smile, then she looked at Tianma who was lying on the other side.

Nothing more was said.

Neither of them mentioned what happened last night.

"What are you going to do next?" Atalanta asked after she stood up, tidied her appearance, and tied up her messy hair around her ears.

"Hmm..." Nuoyan thought about it and did not answer immediately.

Instead, he tilted his head and looked to the other side.

I saw a person sitting on a stone nearby, a god to be exact. He was wearing a hat with feathers and had orange hair under the hat.

It was Hermes, one of the twelve Olympian gods and the messenger of the gods.

He had come long ago, and had come and sat here and there while Promise played the harp.

And in the eyes of Nuoyan and Atalanta, Hermes had lost his usual elegance and looked tired and embarrassed.

Even his face was swollen, as if he had been chased and beaten.

Nuoyan blinked his eyes. Although he was a little curious, he naturally would not ask directly.

After all, Hermes being beaten couldn't possibly have anything to do with his promise...

"Go to Tiryns. It's not far away. The king there, Protoss, will receive you with great ceremony. You can ask him for anything you want. After all, you defeated the monster Chimera and solved their problem. You deserve a corresponding reward."

"After that, you should go back to your teacher. There is someone waiting for you in Chiron, and that person is the friend you have always wanted to see the most... These are what Athena asked me to tell you."

After saying this, Hermes lowered the feather hat on his head and left.

He doesn't want to stay any longer now.

What a shame!

After all, who knew that Athena would really fight when she said she would, without caring at all about the friendship with her comrades who had plucked the golden apples together not long ago!

Moreover, Hermes knew that he had to hide for a while. The matter of the golden apple could not be kept secret for long. Hera would soon get the news. After all, the unconscious guards in the paradise were probably almost awake by now.

Athena probably wouldn't dare to return to Olympus in the short term, let alone him.

If I can't beat Athena, can I beat you, Hermes? !

In addition to the bad things he had done all along, Hermes was very confident that Hera could just wave her hand and say she would beat him up.

Apollo and the others would definitely respond immediately, pick up their weapons and chase after them!

Hermes said this and left.

Atalanta didn't even react.

Only after he left did Atalanta look at Nuoyan in confusion.

"He is the Lord Hermes...By the way, I didn't leave without saying goodbye in the Calydonian Kingdom. He found me suddenly and took me away!"

Although Nuoyan had originally planned to run away, what he said was indeed the truth.

Upon hearing this, Atalanta had only one thought in her mind.

Anyone who appears around you is really an incredible god!

Then the two of them simply packed up and rode on Pegasus, letting the Pegasus take them to the Kingdom of Tiryns mentioned by Hermes.

This king had an extremely beautiful wife named Antea.

She was none other than the queen in mythology who fell in love with Bellerophon at first sight, but ultimately failed in love, so she became angry and falsely accused Bellerophon of trying to force himself on her, which led to the incident of the monster Chimera.

This time,

After receiving the oracle, King Proetus, Queen Antea, and many guards and ministers were waiting outside the palace early.

A handsome and elegant Pegasus flapped its silver-white wings and descended from the blue sky, bringing the hero who had defeated the monster Chimera as predicted by the oracle.

When the black-haired, green-eyed boy appeared in their eyes, everyone present couldn't help but feel a little surprised. They were surprised that the boy didn't look like a hero, but instead looked like an elegant poet and painter. They were also surprised that the boy was as dazzling as a god.

At this moment, an old man with a white beard came out with a cane.

He was the prophet who received the oracle in this kingdom.

He came before Tianma, saluted with great respect, and said: "Hero from the Piliwen Cave, it is an honor to meet you, the respected and great one.

This is our great king Proetus, and his virtuous queen Antheia.

We have received an oracle from the gods and learned of the great deeds you have done. You defeated the monster Chimera that desolated the earth and saved our kingdom.

Therefore, dear hero, please stop and rest here for a while. We will express our highest gratitude to you and prepare the most generous reward! "

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Atalanta grabbed Nuoyan's hand and took him down from Pegasus...

As soon as Nuoyan got off the Pegasus, Atalanta, whose perception was as sharp as that of a wild beast, suddenly turned her head and cast her gaze towards the queen whom the prophet had just introduced.

The beautiful queen Antea...

As if it was destined, the moment the beautiful queen saw Nuoyan coming here riding on Pegasus, she fell hopelessly in love with him.

Therefore, when she saw that Atalanta was able to hold Nuoyan's hand, she looked at her with anger and jealousy.

Seeing this, Atalanta frowned slightly, turned back to look at Nuoyan, and when she was about to say something, she was suddenly stunned again.

Because Atalanta suddenly realized that she actually had no status or qualifications to influence Nuoyan's choice in this regard...

So while Atalanta was silent, the promise came before everyone.

He had a faint smile on his face, without the arrogance that most heroes show after completing their great deeds. Instead, he said calmly: "Hello, noble king, and beautiful queen..."

Although the promise was just a polite compliment, the queen, who was so excited at the moment that she felt her heart was about to jump out, had already made up her mind.

She must meet Nuo Yan tonight no matter what!

"It's an honor to meet you, but... I don't need rich rewards, and I'm sorry, I can't stay here."

Upon hearing this, Atalanta couldn't help but look up, looking a little surprised.

Nuoyan continued, "Because I am still carrying the oracle of the gods, the gods are guiding me forward, so I cannot stop."

Hearing this, the crowd suddenly became agitated.

Finally, the elder prophet stood up and said, "But Lord Nuoyan, the gods have given us an oracle, requiring us to give you, the hero, the highest level of gratitude..."

"In that case, please help me spread my name... I am Nuoyan, a student of the Centaur Sage Chiron and a believer of the Queen Hera. I will become a hero and a shining star of this era!"

Nuoyan smiled and answered the stunned crowd, "This, to me, is the highest level of thank you gift, the most generous reward in the world."

Hearing this, Atalanta suddenly remembered what happened.

This was the reward that Nuoyan sought, both from those bandits and from the river god who captured Pegasus later, and even in the Calydonian Kingdom.

It really hasn't changed at all.

Atalanta couldn't help but smile when she thought of this.

and many more!

I remember at this time, he seemed to...

"Oh, by the way, the one next to me is called Atalanta. She is a follower of the moon goddess Artemis. Like me, she is..."

Before Nuoyan could finish his words, Atalanta, who had finally come to her senses, suddenly stepped forward and covered Nuoyan's mouth.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Everyone knew the name of Promise and the name of Atalanta.

Thus, the legendary story of conquering the monster Chimera began, and the two people in the legend.

He is a handsome and dazzling young man like Apollo, the god of light.

She is a beautiful and pure woman like Artemis, the moon goddess.

When Nuoyan was about to leave, the beautiful queen finally couldn't help but stood up, came to Nuoyan, and begged him, hoping to keep Nuoyan.

But Nuoyan didn't even look at her. After politely refusing her, he returned to Tianma. Then Tianma spread his wings and flew into the blue sky again under everyone's attention.

"Isn't that queen very beautiful?"

Pegasus was standing on the horse, looking at the crowd below which was getting smaller and smaller.

And there is the queen who is still looking at this place from afar with a dazed look in her eyes until now.

Atalanta couldn't help but say to the promise.

"Ah?" Nuoyan tilted his head and looked at Atalanta in a daze, and said, "She is indeed beautiful. The king looks so old, but I didn't expect him to be so blessed... But what does this have to do with me?"

Atalanta looked at Nuoyan's puzzled expression.

He shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Hearing this, Nuoyan couldn't help but tilt his head as he looked at the smile that inadvertently appeared on Atalanta's face.

Tianma saw all of this.

At the same time, feeling the gaze of a familiar goddess in the distance, he couldn't help but shook his head.

Poor girl, good luck to you!

Atalanta, she was one of the two people who were fortunate enough to be present and witness last night.

Oh, by the way, what about that other person?

At this time, the underworld.

Hecate's Age of Gods.

Medea, wearing a light purple magic dress, looked at her teacher who was playing with her familiar, the Dark Butterfly.

Finally, I couldn't help it and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Hecate, didn't you say that you wanted Nuoyan to take me to see Aunt Circe?"

Hearing this, Hecate looked at her lovely student with her beautiful red eyes, rolled her eyes, and said faintly: "Why, are you so eager to leave me?"

"No, of course not Teacher Hecate, I, I just, just..."

As she spoke, Medea's face turned red.

Seeing this, Hecate became even more annoyed and said, "I say, you really let that troublesome guy take your soul away in an instant, couldn't you resist a little?"

"Teacher, what are you talking about? I'm not hooked!" Medea retorted loudly, recalling everything she saw yesterday.

"I just think that he... is a really amazing person."

"Great? Isn't that troublesome... and you said you haven't been hooked. How about I make a mirror for you so you can take a good look at yourself?"

Medea was speechless, then simply turned her head away and ignored her teacher.

Before coming here, Medea had been very much in awe of Hecate. After all, her family had always told her since she was a child how mysterious, beautiful and great the goddess Hecate was.

Even his aunt Circe said so.

After the results came, I realized that although mysterious and beautiful, etc. were real, she didn’t look like a goddess at all!

"Oh, okay, okay, I won't say anything."

Seeing that her pupil ignored her, Hecate said with a smile: “And I will certainly do what I promised you, but we don’t need to go find him.

In a few days, he will come to find you on his own."

......

......

Two or three days later,

Nuoyan returned to the Piliwen Cave.
