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

But now Nuoyan undoubtedly has such qualifications.

At the same time, in front of the pictures of the remaining Olympian gods, the painting of Zeus, the king of gods, is undoubtedly the most difficult, so...

......

......

"Hercules, your trial has come, and so has your promise." Hermes, pressing the feather hat on his head, said to the two people in front of him with a smile.

Two days later, Hercules had already bid farewell to Chiron with his promise and headed for Mycenae, ready to return to his king.

In fact, he could fly back, and with Pegasus's speed he would be there in about two days at most, but for some reason Pegasus was extremely resistant to Hercules and didn't want him to ride.

Later, Nuoyan found out that Hercules was actually a descendant of Perseus, and Perseus was none other than the ancient Greek hero who cut off Medusa's head.

So that afternoon, Hermes appeared before them and brought the oracle from the gods.

It was as if the man who was chased around by the gods a few days ago and looked miserable was not him at all. Hermes who appeared in front of the two of them did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Hermes, who had changed into a light green casual outfit, had a refreshing smile on his face. He said to Nuoyan and Hercules, "Hercules, the test given to you by the noble Queen of Heaven Hera is to go to Pisto and subdue the group of man-eating wild horses."

"As for your promise, Hera asked you to capture the golden-horned deer of the goddess Artemis and bring back the three-headed hellhound Cerberus to the underworld."

Upon hearing this, Nuoyan's expression suddenly became strange.

Hercules, who was stunned for a moment, seemed a little excited and said to Hermes: "Wait, shouldn't I be with Nuoyan and protect him?"

"There is also the golden-horned deer of the goddess Artemis and the three-headed dog of hell in the underworld. These are the beloved sacred objects of the gods and terrifying monsters... Great Lord Hermes, I am not questioning you, but is there something wrong with this?"

"That's right, this is the test given to you by Queen Hera, and the great King of Gods Zeus has also agreed to it..."

At this point, Hermes looked at Hercules again and couldn't help laughing: "Also, Hera asked me to tell you a message, which is to tell you to stay away from your promise."

"She said, just looking at you makes me sick!"

Hearing this, even Hercules was a little dumbfounded.

Nuoyan was standing aside, seemingly thinking about something.

Capturing the golden-horned deer of the moon god and bringing back the three-headed dog of hell from the underworld, this is indeed the content of the twelve trials of Hercules in mythology.

And even for Hercules, this is undoubtedly a very difficult task, but for Nuoyan...

"No problem, I will complete the trial given to me by Goddess Hera."

Then, just as Nuoyan nodded in agreement, Hercules was anxious to refuse because the trial sounded too dangerous.

"After all, it's been a while since I last saw a golden-horned deer."

Nuoyan smiled and said, "And Cerberus, I promised long ago that next time we meet, I would bring him lots of honey cakes. He must have been waiting for me for a long time, right?"

Huh?

Hearing this, Hercules opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. It didn't seem like he was going to a trial, but rather to fulfill his promise to visit a friend.

"I brought you some honey cakes."

Hermes took out a pack of honey cakes and handed it to Nuoyan. He paused for a moment before continuing, "This is actually what Athena prepared for you. She also said that the Argo will be completed in about three months, so she asked you to prepare during this time."

Athena knew about the honey cake. They had read the painting of the underworld from beginning to end.

Nuoyan was stunned when he heard this. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but said to Hermes: "Dear Lord Hermes, may I ask Goddess Hera and Athena what is the current situation..."

"Why, now I am the respected one? Why didn't you see me as the respected Hermes when you brought them to chase me a few days ago?"

Hermes smiled and teased Nuo Yan before continuing, “Don’t worry, because of my sacrifice, now Queen Hera’s anger has subsided by more than half.

In addition, Athena had recently been helping to build the Argo and prepare for the Golden Fleece, so Hera turned a blind eye to it.

"But Athena is determined. Even in this situation, she doesn't intend to return the golden apples, so..."

Hermes, who said this, shrugged at Nuoyan.

But the smile on his face and the excitement in his eyes instantly dissipated the guilt that had finally emerged in Nuoyan's heart.

It seems that the fight was too light a few days ago...

Nuoyan couldn't help but think so.

Naturally, Athena would not return the golden apple. After all, this was an opportunity she had finally seized, and she had become rich from the golden apple.

And if she really returned it, it goes without saying that Hera would never let Athena get the golden apple again.

"It seems that the journey of the Golden Fleece is almost over, so I have to speed up my pace." As he said this, he took out a small notebook and flipped through it.

The moment Hercules saw the little notebook appear, he immediately shut his mouth, having been about to say something.

Even Hermes, who was standing beside him, became much more obedient at this moment.

The hunting incident a few days ago finally made the gods realize that Nuoyan was not as harmless as he seemed... Although in the eyes of Hera, Demeter, Artemis and others, Nuoyan was always so well-behaved no matter what he did.

"That's it, Hercules, see you next time." Putting away the little notebook, Nuoyan said to Hercules with a smile.

Now Hera has agreed to the promise, so at that moment, the fate of Hercules has actually changed.

The price to pay is that Nuoyan must participate in the twelve trials and must complete them...but this was Nuoyan's original purpose.

Hera agreed so readily at that time, and looked helpless about Nuoyan, because after so many years, she naturally knew how devoted Nuoyan was to the hero.

In addition, he had always disliked Hercules, so he took this opportunity to give half of the honor that originally belonged to Hercules to Nuoyan.

So on the holy mountain of Olympus.

Hera retrieved the golden apple of Hermes, held a large banquet, and finally met Zeus.

When he told this matter, he even united gods such as Demeter, Artemis and Apollo, wanting Zeus to share the glory.

To everyone's surprise, Zeus agreed immediately without even putting up a decent resistance...

Hercules was no fool, and he had seen with his own eyes two days ago how much the gods loved promises, and they even started hunting the Lord Hermes for him.

Although later on, everyone enjoyed it.

But even so, Hercules still felt it was very dangerous, so when he wanted to say something.

Nuoyan had already opened the bag of honey cakes in his hand.

And the moment it opened, a purple dark butterfly flapped its wings and flew out, and landed skillfully on Nuoyan's shoulder.

This is the familiar of Hecate, the goddess of roads.

So the next second, the magic circle was activated and appeared under Nuoyan's feet.

Just like that, he disappeared from the sight of Hercules, who had not yet fully reacted.

"Okay, don't worry about it." Hermes stepped forward and patted Hercules on the shoulder, saying, "Although he is so weak that we can knock him down with just a breath, to be honest, he is much safer than you!"

"And if you want to protect and repay him, you have the chance. Athena is busy building that big ship. You will have a long journey ahead of you."

After saying this, Hermes ignored Hercules and left.

And on the other side,

When Nuoyan opened his eyes and had already gotten used to such chanting, he had arrived in the underworld, the temple of the goddess Hecate.

The little sun created by magic still illuminates the temple here as always.

Inside the temple, Nuoyan, who had just opened his eyes, had no time to observe what was happening around him.

"I say, you are really brave, boy."

Hecate's cold voice reached Nuoyan's ears.

"I have only seen you a few times. During this time, you took Persephone to the underworld, offended Hephaestus, and even hunted Hermes this time!"

Hearing the voice, Nuoyan turned his head, and Hecate, who was sitting next to him, appeared in his emerald eyes.

The long black skirt, the hair falling as beautifully as the night, the beautiful red eyes, and the gorgeous face.

Perhaps because she had already been seen by Nuoyan, Hecate didn't bother to wear a veil again.

And she was laughing, which was rare at this time, because Hermes's joke was really funny, and even Hecate was very happy about it.

The person sitting next to Hecate is Medea, who is holding a staff and wearing a purple magic dress.

After Nuoyan appeared, she seemed very nervous. Even when Nuoyan looked at her, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.

With the help of Hecate that day, after witnessing the six paintings of Nuoyan, Medea not only clearly understood what kind of person Nuoyan was, but also couldn't forget him even if she wanted to.

Nuoyan came back to his senses and looked at Hecate, then glanced at Medea beside him.

Just as he was about to step forward and say hello to them, Nuoyan suddenly felt something biting his pants.

He looked down in confusion and saw the three-headed dog of hell that had grown to the size of a normal dog.

At this moment, all three of his heads were looking at Nuoyan, his eyes full of expectation, and he almost called out to him twice.

He was promised to give Him honey bread, and He has been waiting until now.

Even Hermes was bitten for this!

"Oh, Cerberus, here are the honey cakes that I have always promised you." Nuoyan reacted and, in order to avoid being bitten, quickly reached out and took out the honey cakes from the bag.

Feed it piece by piece to the three heads of Cerberus.

During this time, Cerberus' tail was wagging happily until Nuoyan finally discovered that there was an extra piece of honey cake.

Nuoyan, holding the last piece of honey cake in his hand, saw Cerberus in front of him suddenly stop all movements, and the three heads stared at him, even emitting green light.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Athena in my heart.

Even if you can't see it, you have to create something. You are worthy of it, Athena!

Nuoyan thought so, then looked at Hecate who was watching the fun on the side, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Goddess Hecate, do you want to eat honey cakes?"

After these words, the three heads of Cerberus stopped arguing and looked up, shocked at the promise who dared to say these words to his mistress.

After a moment of hesitation, Hecate appeared in front of Nuoyan the next second, took out her staff and knocked him on the head, saying unhappily: "What do you mean by this, you guy? You still want to feed me, right?"

hiss!

Nuoyan hugged his head, took a breath, opened his eyes wide and said, "It hurts!"

"Of course it hurts. I cast a spell directly on your soul... Do you think I'm Hera, Athena or the others? I'm not interested in being gentle with you."

After saying this in a bad mood, Hecate took the honey cake from Nuoyan's hand, took a bite and left.

...Don’t you want it?

Nuoyan looked at Hecate in silence, who didn't look like a goddess at all. He rubbed his head, then looked at Cerberus, who was happily lying on the side with a honey cookie in his mouth.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Hecate, "Goddess Hecate, I have a trial to take Cerberus with me. Is that okay?"

"See if it wants to. If it wants to, you can draw a picture for it."

Hearing this, Nuoyan came up to Cerberus and said, "Is it okay, Cerberus?"

Cerberus glanced at Nuoyan and said nothing. He just put a piece of honey cake on the ground and put the dog's paw on it.

Finally, I gave Nuoyan a look that said, "You understand."

"No problem!" He understood the promise immediately and patted his chest to assure Cerberus: "Plenty of honey cakes!"

"Woof!" Cerberus responded happily.

After easily dealing with Cerberus, Nuoyan looked back and found that Hecate had come to the student.

Seeing that Medea was staring at her in silence, Hecate took a small piece from her mouth and fed it to her.

"......My dear teacher, please pay a little attention. You are a noble goddess." Medea sighed, and the nervousness in her heart disappeared.

"What are you talking about?" Hecate ate her honey cake and replied vaguely, "How could I not pay attention to my goddess image!"

Medea did not want to talk anymore.

At this time Nuoyan also came over.

"Long time no see, Medea." Nuoyan said with a smile.

After hearing this, and looking up to find that Nuoyan had come to her, Medea, who was stunned for a moment, suddenly stood up, even took two steps back, hugged her staff nervously, and was speechless for a while.

"Hmm..." Nuoyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hecate in confusion and said, "Goddess Hecate, did I do something to make Medea angry?"

"No, I just got a little irritated." Hecate looked at her stiff student with amusement, and said to Nuoyan, "By the way, I need your help with something. Please help me send my student to Aiyu Island.

There is another pupil of mine, and Circe will take care of her in my place."

Hearing the name Circe, he was slightly stunned. After recalling the legend about this person, Nuoyan's expression became a little subtle.
