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

"Hey, if you think about it this way, it will be unexpectedly lively then." As if thinking of something, Meleager looked at Nuoyan in front of him and said, "Because of you, after several years, everyone may really gather together for the first time..."

They all have a purpose.

Nuoyan, don't die!

......

......

That night,

The flames lit up the dark night under the stars. The hunters who gathered here because of Artemis's oracle were singing the greatness of Artemis and holding a grand banquet.

Artemis,

She is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus. She is not only the goddess of the moon, but also the goddess of hunting, and the goddess worshipped by hunters.

At the same time, she is also the goddess of virginity, like the goddess of wisdom Athena, a goddess who vows to remain pure forever, and the guardian of unmarried girls.

In ancient Greek mythology, Artemis and Athena are in charge of the virginity of girls together, and when girls are about to get married, they will return their virgin belts to Athena or Artemis in the temple.

Entering the married period ruled by the goddess of beauty Aphrodite and the queen of heaven Hera.

At the same time, Artemis is also the goddess that Nuoyan is most familiar with in this era... the goddess of strangling the neck!

"Hey, so why is the bear not here?"

At the banquet illuminated by the flames and full of laughter.

Nuoyan, wearing a light black hunting suit, looked around the crowd and seemed a little melancholy.

At the same time, he was the focus of attention at this banquet.

Although many people laughed at Nuoyan in the afternoon because of the thief incident, no one could ignore his current identity at the same time.

The young man that the queen of heaven Hera was watching, he would walk in the vast land of ancient Greece, looking for the most heroic warriors in the world for the noble queen of heaven, so that the warriors would gather in the Kingdom of Iolcus, and finally, under the gaze of the gods, embark on the adventure of finding the golden fleece.

During the three months when Nuoyan went to fulfill the oracle of Athena, the news had already been spread by the bards throughout the continent.

And it is for this reason that after coming to the banquet with Meleager, Nuoyan has never been idle.

Hunters gathered and introduced themselves to Nuoyan, hoping to be valued by Nuoyan.

Some even proudly told Nuoyan that it would be an honor for Nuoyan to be on board, and they should complete great deeds under the watchful eyes of the gods, gain wealth and glory.

Even Atalanta came to the banquet and stayed quietly in a corner.

Therefore, Nuoyan felt bored after not staying for long.

In fact, Nuoyan came to participate in this banquet tonight to find a bear.

The name of the bear is-Orion!

That's right, it was the hero who was supposed to be summoned when the Heroic Spirit was summoned, but because of Artemis' love, he was eventually replaced by the moon goddess Artemis and appeared in the form of a wonderful creature (mascot) that was neither human nor beast.

And this guy is still a crown!

Nuoyan is not familiar with him, to be precise, he has never met him at all, after all, Orion is not Chiron's student.

In order to save Actaeon, Nuoyan actually intended to find him and sell him to Artemis.

Unfortunately, he didn't seem to come... and to be honest, Nuoyan didn't know whether Orion was a person of this era.

Then, as more and more people gathered around Nuoyan, the person who finally stood up to save the situation was unexpectedly Atalanta.

She scolded everyone loudly,

and said that tomorrow night would be the hunting sacrifice watched by Artemis, so Artemis must be watching them now, asking them to pay attention to their words and deeds.

She also said that since they all felt that they were brave and powerful, this hunting sacrifice was undoubtedly the best proof.

Only those who performed well in this hunting sacrifice were qualified to participate in the Golden Fleece adventure under the watchful eyes of the gods!

After saying that, Atalanta, who could no longer bear the atmosphere here, turned and left.

Nuoyan, who was rescued, just breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a beautiful hunter lady! How happy would a man be to marry her...right, Nuoyan?"

Chapter 31 The goddess of fate is angry~

Hearing what Meleager said.

Nuoyan couldn't help but turn around and look at the red-haired young man beside him.

Meleager was staring at Atalanta's beautiful back as she walked away, unable to look away.

His eyes were full of admiration.

But Nuoyan was speechless and even had a headache.

I don't refute her beauty,

and if possible, I also want to have a good relationship with her. After all, she will be quite active in the future. I don't want to be kicked by her in the future like Jason.

But Meleager, you really don't have this blessing, and because of her...you will die miserably in the future!

When Meleager held the Calydon hunting sacrifice in the future, since it was a sacrifice witnessed by the moon goddess Artemis, Atalanta, as Artemis' most loyal believer, naturally came to Calydon.

Atalanta was the only woman in the hunting sacrifice.

Many heroes were dissatisfied with this, believing that women should not be involved in this sacred sacrifice, but Meleager saved her against all odds.

Because Meleager fell in love with Atalanta at first sight.

After hunting the wild beasts, Meleager gave Atalanta the wild boar skin, which symbolized great honor, which caused dissatisfaction among his two uncles.

His two uncles planned to take the wild boar skin back from Atalanta, and in order to stop them from protecting Atalanta, Meleager finally took action and killed his two uncles with his own hands.

When his mother knew about this and knew that his brother and younger brother died at the hands of her children, because of excessive sadness and anger, his mother threw the wood that symbolized Meleager's life into the fire.

When the flames burned fiercely and the whole room was on fire, the mother who heard her child's screams in the flames and woke up eventually died in the sea of ​​fire with her child.

By the way, even so, Meleager still didn't get Atalanta's heart, because Atalanta didn't know what happened at all.

Even at the end of everything, if you asked her who Meleager was, she would probably have to think for a while before she could remember.

So...

"So there is no future for licking dogs!"

Noyan patted Meleager's shoulder seriously, and then ignored Meleager's reaction and looked around.

He found that because of Atalanta's words, these people actually calmed down, but at the same time they also ignited a greater fighting spirit!

Nuoyan was obviously here to save Actaeon, but I always felt that Actaeon was now even more miserable because of Nuoyan...

Soon Nuoyan left the banquet.

After asking around, Nuoyan had determined that Orion was at least not in this area.

In this way, the idea of ​​using this bear as a sacrifice was undoubtedly ruined.

After all, the hunting sacrifice will come tomorrow night.

And just as Nuoyan was thinking about what to do next.

When he pushed open the door, he saw the goddess of fate Clotho, who was wearing a white robe and sitting on a chair with flawless jade feet hanging in the air in the room illuminated by the moonlight.

She held the crystal ball in her arms, which was specially filled with Nuoyan's fate, and sat here quietly, waiting for Nuoyan for a long time.

Looking at her, Nuoyan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, turned around and closed the door, and lit the candle in the room... Nuoyan was not surprised by her appearance.

When the weak candlelight slightly illuminated the room in the dark night, illuminating Clotho's delicate appearance and the white hair that fell from the white robe hat.

"You surprised me, Nuoyan."

In the soft voice that tried to be serious, there was a little confusion, saying: "I thought you would tell everything to your friend Meleageros, or go directly to find the goddess Artemis, but... you don't seem to plan to do this?"

"Because I know that telling Meleageros about Actaeon and the truth of this hunt will only make him feel painful, and it will not change anything."

Nuoyan said, and walked to the opposite side of Clotho.

"Because he has a reason to do that. He must see the goddess Artemis to save his country. As for why he doesn't go directly to see the goddess Artemis... it's because I feel that it is a more wrong choice!

Also, did you let Meleager come here?"

After all, the time he came was undoubtedly too coincidental.

Facing Nuoyan's emerald eyes, Clotho was silent for a while before answering: "I led him here long before meeting you, because this is his original destiny. He is the friend who is destined to kill Actaeon.

At the same time, he is also the hero who will save Calydon in the future under the watchful eyes of the goddess Artemis."

"In other words, if I saved Actaeon and didn't let Meleager see the goddess Artemis because of this, and if I couldn't get the goddess Artemis's forgiveness, would Calydon perish because of this?"

Nuoyan followed Clotho's thoughts and asked.

"That's right." Clotho nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his face, and said: "Not only that, your feeling is right, you have no way to save Actaeon, even if you go to see the goddess Artemis now!

Because Actaeon hunted the golden-horned deer that the goddess Artemis loved the most, and completely angered her, this hunt must have a result.

When the pain suffered by the golden-horned deer is completely returned to Actaeon, the goddess Artemis will never stop the hunting sacrifice."

"So Nuoyan, now have you witnessed the greatness of fate, you... still want to fight against fate?"

After the words fell, probably felt that she finally showed her dignity as the goddess of fate in front of Nuoyan.

Clotho, sitting on the chair, couldn't help shaking his little feet gently, and smiled.

Hearing this, Nuoyan did not answer immediately.

He just tilted his head, and his clear emerald eyes looked out the window, looking far away.

In fact, Nuoyan knew that they should be looking at him.

After all, the goddess of wisdom would not miss such an interesting thing.

And the goddess of justice Themis was probably there too.

If he wanted, the two gods might respond to him. Moreover, in this ancient Greek world, it was not shameful to ask for help from the gods.

Seeing that Nuoyan did not answer him, Clotho raised his head.

Her eyes were white, because she was the goddess of fate who controlled the future, so she couldn't see everything in front of her, but she still guessed Nuoyan's thoughts.

"Are you thinking whether to seek help from the goddess of wisdom, the goddess of justice, or the great queen of heaven?"

Nuoyan smiled when he came back to his senses and looked at her after Clotho asked this question.

He took another step and came to Clotho.

And squatted down, looking at the delicate goddess of fate in front of him under the dim light and the moonlight shining in from the window.

"I don't intend to do that, and at the same time... I'm sorry, goddess Clotho, I still accept your kindness."

Nuoyan said to Clotho in an apologetic tone.

In fact, in Nuoyan's heart, he had a very good impression of Clotho.

Because in the Temple of Hera where they first met, Clotho, who had just appeared, helped Nuoyan a lot.

She told Hera that Nuoyan was the one who brought glory to Hera.

And although it was Athena's request, Clotho has not yet told Hera, the Queen of Heaven, about Athena and Themis.

And even a few days ago, when Nuoyan made the choice to defy and fight against fate in front of her, Clotho was very angry and even said something harsh.

But in fact, she still told Nuoyan in a gentle way that fate cannot be violated, and let Nuoyan come to this destined fate and witness it with his own eyes.

And she even appeared today to advise him.

Clotho was silent.

Because of the Athena hair tied on Nuoyan's hand, Clotho could not peek into Nuoyan's true thoughts, but she still heard Nuoyan's sincere apology to herself.

Therefore, she knew that Nuoyan was not looking down on her, so she naturally asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Because on that day, when you appeared in front of me, in front of fate, I had already made my own choice."

Nuoyan replied: "And even if I gave up once, what about the future?

I gave up Actaeon, and what about Meleager? Did I watch him beat his two uncles to death and then be killed by his mother?"

"I gave up on them all, and finally watched Teacher Chiron, who had always taken care of me and was worried about me, die in pain?"

"...Where on earth do you know so many destinies?" Clotho couldn't help asking again.
