Everyone fell silent.
After hearing this, Nuoyan finally got off the Pegasus, put Hermes down from the sky, took back the chains, and returned them to Hephaestus who was sitting in the wheelchair.
At this point, everything ended. The gods looked at each other, then left one by one with a smile. They were summoned here because of the painting of promise, and before leaving, they turned into the painting again and disappeared into the sky.
Although Artemis pouted and wanted to join in the fun, she was dragged away by the understanding Demeter.
As they left, Queen Hera glanced around with her beautiful amber eyes, and those who were watching the fun naturally left tactfully.
But even though the game is over, they can still discuss today's fun for at least a hundred years!
Everyone returned to Pilwen's cave, where the Centaur sage lived.
But for some reason, when he returned here and saw Hercules again, Nuoyan always felt that the way he looked at him was full of respect and fear.
Even teacher Chiron's smile was brighter than usual.
But before he could ask them doubtfully, Hestia took Hermes away and Hera walked towards Nuoyan.
Seeing Hera walking towards Nuoyan, Chiron and others naturally avoided her tactfully.
Under the moonlight of the night, Nuoyan looked at Queen Hera, who was walking towards him. She was wearing noble and elegant divine clothes, with beautiful golden curly hair flowing from under her crown.
Then he couldn't help but smile and said, "Happy game, Goddess Hera. Are you having fun?"
"Yeah." Hera smiled gently and nodded, "I had a lot of fun. And...my child, thank you for helping me punish Hermes and venting my anger."
"Goddess Hera, what are you talking about?" Nuoyan blinked and said, "I was just playing a game with Lord Hermes that made everyone happy."
They were indeed very happy, and they even achieved a world achievement where only Hermes was injured.
"And the goddess Hera, my friend Hercules..."
"I will not hold him responsible for the Golden Apple incident this time." Hera paused slightly, looked at the young man in front of her with amber eyes, and said, "Everything he did was for your consideration."
Upon hearing this, Nuoyan did not show any joy or relief.
Instead, after thinking for a while, he shook his head at the doubtful Hera and said, "No, this won't work, Goddess Hera."
"My friend Hercules made a mistake, this is an indisputable fact, and Goddess Hera, I am your believer, so no matter what the reason, we must pay the corresponding responsibility for it, so...
Please bring down the punishment of trial on us, my beloved goddess."
Speaking of this promise, before Hera, who was frowning, could answer, he smiled and said to Hera as if he had thought of something: "And after the trial, I hope to get a share of the treasure that Goddess Hera has given me... the little golden apple tree."
Hera was stunned when she heard this, then she turned her head and looked into the cave, at the golden apple tree planted by the Centaur Chiron next to the clear spring water.
Although it will take many, many years before it can grow up and bear fruit.
But if Hera admits it at this moment, then it will truly be a promise from then on.
“And…I know that you, Goddess Hera, hate Hercules, but he is my friend and you are the goddess I admire. I don’t want to see the two of you in a stalemate.
Therefore, although I know that what I am about to say is willful, I still hope that when we complete the trial, my respected goddess, please turn your loving eyes to my friend. "
Hearing this, Hera looked at the serious promise in front of her and couldn't help but smile helplessly. She said, "You should understand that the test I give you cannot be easy, because I am Hera, the Queen of Heaven. All the gods are watching me, and you."
"Of course." Nuoyan replied.
There were hardly any easy trials of Hercules.
"And your request is really a bit willful, my child, do you know who Hercules is?"
Hercules was the son of Zeus, but had no relation to Hera.
And what Hera hated the most was this kind of existence.
Nuoyan thought about it and finally nodded obediently.
He naturally knew this clearly.
"You know everything, but if that's the case, are you still going to do this?" Hera's expression became serious, and the pressure from the Queen of Heaven was like a mountain, pressing on Nuoyan at this moment.
But even so, Nuoyan still raised his head and looked at her firmly.
"......Ah, I am really impressed by you." The Queen's pressure only lasted for a second or two, and Hera, feeling distressed, made it disappear.
Then, with a helpless look on her face, she stepped forward and touched Nuoyan's cheek, then she smiled gently and said, "This is just the first time, there won't be a next time...
You are my proudest child. "
In the distance, Hestia, the eldest sister of the gods, witnessed this scene. After blinking, she couldn't help but mutter, "If I really snatch that child away, judging from Hera's current condition, she might really go crazy... It's terrible, it's terrible!"
Hearing this, Hermes looked at Hestia, who was clearly saying something very scary but was smiling extremely happily and even ready to make a move.
Even Hermes couldn't help but subconsciously move away from her at this moment.
Even Hermes didn't dare to touch this death.
Because you will really die!
"Speaking of which, the discrimination by Nuoyan is too obvious." Hermes, who was also expressing his dissatisfaction, changed the subject and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Hercules and I have both suffered, but what about Athena, the real culprit!"
Hearing this, Hestia couldn't help but glance at Hermes, thinking that he really didn't learn his lesson. Didn't he see that everyone deliberately didn't mention this matter?
Even though things have evolved to this point, Athena will definitely not be able to escape in the end.
But even Hera would not mention Athena in the context of her promise.
He is not blind. He can tell at a glance the difference between Nuoyan's attitude toward Athena and that toward other gods.
Mentioning her would only embarrass everyone.
Chiron the Centaur smiled,
He looked at the young man, his student, standing next to the Queen with great satisfaction.
Chiron always believed that Nuoyan would become a hero.
But Chiron really didn't expect that such a fragile boy could go to such a point and even walk ahead of Hercules.
At the same time, in the ancient temple of destiny interwoven with the threads of destiny.
Clotho, goddess of fate, has just returned from her journey.
His second sister Lachesis couldn't help but speak up, "Kloto, your boy is changing his fate again, and this time it even involves the God King Zeus!"
Cloto lowered his head and did not answer.
Pretend not to hear.
Lachesis rolled her eyes at Clotho helplessly and said, "Just spoil him. I think sooner or later he will get into trouble because of you guys spoiling him!"
......
......
The next day,
When the sun lights up the world, in the cave of Piliwen.
Hercules learned that Nuoyan had sought a trial with Hera. He was shocked and looked at Chiron anxiously, saying, "Teacher, how could you allow such a thing!"
"Promise, you come with me. We are going to look for the Queen Hera now. This matter has nothing to do with you. There is no need for you to take risks with me!"
As Hercules was about to grab Nuoyan, Nuoyan took a step back to avoid him, and then took out the little notebook of grudges that he had prepared long ago.
Even the pure white feather canvas was taken out
The emerald eyes stared at Hercules in front of him, and he wrote on it with a serious face, and said: "Two years ago, Hercules went down the mountain without me. It was clearly agreed at the beginning, but he suddenly regretted it in the end, tied me up and didn't allow me to go anywhere.
And now, three years later, he still looks down on me, thinking that I am unworthy of participating in the trial with him, and even wants me to break my promise in front of my goddess!"
Hercules looked at the grudge in front of him, and the legendary grudge book, and suddenly became more anxious, and shouted: "I don't have it!"
"No, you do."
Holding the paintbrush and the grudge book, Nuoyan tilted his head to look at Chiron, blinked, and said with a smile: "Teacher Chiron, you think so too, right?"
Looking at the promise in front of him that he would turn the page and bear grudge if they disagreed, Chiron struggled internally for a moment, and finally turned his head and said, "Yes, Hercules is wrong."
"Teacher Chiron?!" Hercules looked at Chiron in disbelief.
You are such a teacher Chiron!
“Ahem… that’s enough.” Chiron, who felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Hercules, coughed dryly, thought for a moment, and then said to Hercules: “Anyway, you can’t escape your promise, he will come to you with that little notebook sooner or later.
Besides, he is looking for a hero and a heroic ending. Now that he has gone down the mountain, I can’t control him. So instead of letting him run around, why don’t you watch him more during the trial and help him.”
Hercules would never agree to this matter. After all, he could not tolerate his promise being involved in such a dangerous matter because of his own fault.
But after hearing Chiron say this, he recalled what Nuoyan had done in the past year...
"I understand, Teacher Chiron, just leave your promise to me with confidence."
Hercules then raised his head and said to Chiron with a firm expression: "I promise you that as long as I, Hercules, am still alive, if you want to harm the promise, you must step over my dead body."
"So, teacher, just leave your promise to me with confidence!"
Hearing this, Chiron couldn't help but kick Hercules hard.
He kicked Hercules away without any mercy.
You are trying to get something for free by saying these things!
Nuoyan was also full of black lines on his face.
"Oh, right, the promise."
After kicking Hercules away, when Nuoyan and the others were about to leave, Chiron remembered and took out Hades' invisibility helmet and returned it to Nuoyan.
When Athena stole the golden apple, she gave it to Hercules, who later gave it to Chiron.
After accepting the promise of the invisibility helmet, he remembered that he had not yet returned it to Hades, the god of the underworld.
"Also, these are some remaining golden apple tree trunks. You can take them too." Chiron gave all the golden apple tree trunks that Hercules had cut down to Nuoyan.
Although they are all dead wood, they are part of the sacred golden apple tree after all. It is hot for anyone to hold them, except for the promise.
Nuoyan naturally understood, so he didn't say anything and took it all.
And because it is part of the golden apple tree, holding it has an excellent effect of restoring the spirit and contains powerful vitality.
Then, the moment he took it, an idea suddenly flashed through Nuoyan's mind, just like a flash of inspiration when painting, and it made him stand there in a daze.
Then, after coming back to his senses, he showed an expression of extreme happiness and surprise.
"What's wrong?" Chiron asked curiously when he saw this.
"Well, teacher, I just suddenly thought of a gift, a gift for the lovely goddess Clotho!"
Playing with the promise of the golden apple tree trunk in his hand, he said to Chiron: "Goddess Clotho has helped me a lot so far, but I have never given her a tribute."
Nuoyan had long wanted to give Clotho, who had helped him many times, a gift. He even asked Hecate, the goddess of roads, for this when he was in the underworld.
But the goddess who was playing badly, casually replied that Nuoyan should dedicate herself to him...
"But I have always been troubled by not knowing what to give her. But just now, I suddenly thought of it, and I have a feeling that the lovely little goddess will definitely like my gift!"
Chapter 5.5: Twelve Trials: Golden Horned Deer, Cerberus Three-Headed Dog! (k)
The king of gods Zeus has always been keeping an eye on Hercules because of the war between gods that will soon come.
In fact, Zeus had learned about Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, from the three goddesses of fate a long time ago, and he also knew that in the near future, he would lead the suppressed Titans to climb out of the abyss and declare war on the gods of Olympus!
Clotho, the goddess of fate who peeked into the future, told Zeus that if he wanted to win the battle, a mortal must participate.
So Zeus told the gods about Hercules' existence and said that he would eventually accomplish great feats and become one of them.
But Zeus naturally could not tell anyone about the war between the gods, so Hera, the Queen of Heaven, was naturally jealous of her lover's child, who actually enjoyed such a high honor.
Therefore, before Hercules was born, he was full of resentment towards him.
Zeus wanted Hercules to become the king of Mycenae and enjoy the prosperity of the world, so Hera gave birth to his younger brother Eurystheus in advance and seized the throne that should have belonged to Hercules.
As soon as Hercules was born, Hera sent two poisonous snakes to kill him quietly.
Later, when Hercules had a happy family and completed impossible trials again and again, he was noticed and praised by the gods.
Hera was so angry that she cursed him again, causing Hercules to lose his mind. He killed his wife and children with his own hands, and later killed his best friend. He was then made a slave for three years.
However, the other gods were unaware of the war of gods, but the goddess of wisdom Athena certainly could not be unaware of it. Her eyes, which represented absolute wisdom, could see through everything in the world.
This is also the reason why Athena did not allow Nuoyan to contact Hercules at first.
At that time, Hera obviously did not dote on Nuoyan like this. She hated Hercules deeply, and the king of gods Zeus had always been paying attention to Hercules.
