Meleager said helplessly to his mother: "He believed that it was impossible for my friend to win the victory of the hunting sacrifice, let alone such an honor, so he actually openly announced that this honor should belong to us. !”
As he said this, Meleager looked clearly angry.
Tox, he was the hunter who had been questioning his promise the day after the hunting sacrifice.
At the same time, he was also one of the future relatives who couldn't stand Atalanta getting the boar skin, so he tried to snatch it away, but was eventually killed by the angry Meleager.
Althea looked at Meleager's angry look in front of him. After opening his mouth, he obviously didn't know what to say, and the expression on his face was a little helpless.
She knew that this was what Tox would say. Naturally, Althea knew better than anyone how arrogant and self-righteous her brother was.
"Then child, do you think that glory should belong to you?" So after thinking about it, Althea asked.
"Mother, what are you talking about? How could I think that!" Meleager looked at Althea with an expression of disbelief and said, "I know the true nature of my friend better than anyone else... ....Understand the bravery of my friend!
You must know that his dream is to become a hero, and even if he loses his life in order to become a hero, he will not care at all! "
"I seem to have heard you talking about such a person before." Althea tilted his head slightly and said, "It seems to be a classmate and friend of yours when you were in school, named... Nuoyan?"
Altea said he was very impressed.
It's okay to want to be a hero, but it's unheard of to want to die on the road to becoming a hero, and even force everyone to not let him go down the mountain!
"Yes, that's him." Meleager nodded and replied: "Mother, you should know if you remember, he is my best friend.
And you have to know that it was a gift from the moon god Artemis. He could have asked the great goddess to seek something else, wealth, power or power.
But even so, he still promised the goddess a gift of hunting the Calydon boar... So my mother, I ask you, how can I tolerate my uncle in such a situation? Slandering him! "
...
...
Under the night,
A forest in ancient Greece.
The promise raised a bonfire, which lit up the darkness in the forest. The Pegasus that had been flying for a day put away its silver-white wings and was eating young grass on the grass nearby.
Although it flew for a day, the Pegasus did not feel tired. After all, in order to take care of Nuoyan and Atalanta... mainly to take care of Nuoyan, it did not fly very fast.
But even so, it only takes tomorrow to arrive in Calydon with its promise.
Atalanta was not here at the moment, she was off hunting for tonight's supper.
And just when Nuoyan had just set up a simple tent and was about to sit down and rest for a while, the Pegasus Pegasus suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.
Then he turned his head and glanced at Nuoyan, then came to Nuoyan's side and sniffed Nuoyan's scent with his nose.
"What's wrong, Pegasus?"
Faced with the doubtful promise, Pegasus did not answer. After confirming that the smell was consistent and there was no danger, it called softly twice, turned around and spread its wings.
Then he ran and returned to the starry sky at night.
Just when Nuoyan raised his head and looked at this scene with confusion...
"Nuoyan, have you noticed that your hair seems to have grown a lot longer?"
The familiar sound of the silver bell rang softly in Nuoyan's ears, and before Nuoyan could recover and turn his head, the next second he felt the other person coming to him, reaching out to stroke his hair.
Because he was a little close, Nuoyan could even smell the unique fragrance of the goddess at this time.
So Nuoyan naturally understood why the Pegasus Pegasus suddenly left, and also knew who came behind him at this time.
Nuoyan was not panicked. After all, her arrival had been expected by Nuoyan... To be precise, she didn't appear until now, but it was somewhat beyond Nuoyan's expectations.
"Really... It does seem a bit long." After returning to his senses, Nuo Yan replied... Calculating carefully, three years have passed since I said goodbye to Jason until now. , about four months.
Because he had been very busy, Nuoyan didn't pay attention. Therefore, after being reminded by the goddess behind him, Nuoyan realized that the hair had almost fallen to his shoulders.
So Nuoyan continued: "Then after the Calydon boar hunting is over, I will cut it off, or... kind goddess Athena, can you help me cut it?"
After saying that, Nuoyan turned his head and looked behind him.
Then he saw the smiling goddess with silver hair and golden eyes. Under the light of the bonfire, she appeared in Nuoyan's emerald green eyes, as elegant and beautiful as ever.
There is no doubt about Athena's beauty. After all, in the Golden Apple incident in ancient Greek mythology, she was one of the three goddesses who qualified to compete for the golden apple "dedicated to the most beautiful goddess."
As for the other two, they are Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, known as the most beautiful goddess, and Hera, the queen of heaven, who has the most noble status among all goddesses.
"Hey, do you want to cut it?" Athena blinked slightly and said, "But wouldn't it be a pity if you cut it? Your hair is obviously so beautiful...
And don’t you think that since your hair has grown longer, you look more elegant and cute when you draw or play the piano? "
"Is there any?" Nuoyan asked doubtfully, after all, he couldn't see it himself.
"Of course." Athena nodded, her golden eyes reflected in front of her. At first glance, she didn't look like a hero at all. The boy who was born with the artistic flavor of a poet and painter nodded affirmatively and said, "So don't cut your hair." Yeah, just keep it like this.”
"But if you don't cut it, it will be too long and uncomfortable, and it will be very troublesome to tidy up."
Athena laughed when she heard this, then reached out and took out a few silver hairs from her beautiful long hair, and twisted them into simple hair ropes. Then she came behind Nuoyan again and pulled Nuoyan's hair. Tied up.
After simply tying it into a ponytail, Athena took a few steps back, blinked her golden eyes, and looked at the promise at this time.
But just a simple change in hairstyle made Nuo Yan look much fresher and more handsome at this time. Coupled with his artistic temperament, Athena couldn't help but nod her head.
And said with emotion: "If you match it with a decent gift, I think even Apollo can't help but look at you with admiration."
...No, why is it Apollo, the god of light?
Recalling the 'glorious' achievements of Apollo in ancient Greek mythology, at this moment, Nuoyan suddenly wanted to cut his hair.
"No." As if she had seen through Nuo Yan's thoughts at this time, Athena threatened with a smile: "You can't cut it. It looks so good. If you cut it, I will be angry!"
Nuoyan was speechless for a while.
Forget it, if I really meet Apollo then, I will find Asclepius and the others. If that doesn't work, I can still find that handsome man from the Kingdom of Sparta, or Paris!
Thinking like this, Nuo Yan simply stopped caring about his hair.
Instead, he looked at Athena and said seriously: "Goddess Athena, I have completed the oracle you gave me."
"Yes." Athena nodded and replied softly: "I know, I have been watching and watching you."
"Thank you Goddess Athena, but... I actually have a question about this matter." Nuoyan said, looking at the night sky, the direction where Pegasus left, and continued: "Now Pegasus Pegasus is willing to follow me, and he can indeed help me complete the hunt for the Calydon boar, but...
I don't think I can withstand the moment when it runs and turns into a falling star again. "
Nuoyan's body had not recovered at all at this time and was even weaker than before.
When the time came to hunt, Nuo Yan estimated that he was halfway through the flight, and the Calydon Boar hadn't figured out what was going on, and he might have collapsed like a porridge.
Athena still had a smile on her face when she heard this, because she had already guessed that Nuoyan would say this, which was one of the reasons why she came to Nuoyan tonight.
"It's okay, because when you catch the silver meteor, this trial will be over."
Athena replied softly to Nuoyan: "Whether it's the hunting of the Calydon wild boar or your bet with Clotho, the goddess of fate, in fact, it has already come to an end... You have already won, Nuoyan. ”
"...Eh?" Hearing this, Nuoyan was naturally confused and looked at Athena in surprise.
After all, in his opinion, the matter was not over yet, and there was obviously still a final step to go, but he knew in his heart that since Athena said so, she was definitely not deceiving him.
"The bet you made with Clotho, the goddess of fate, was that you would not flinch even in the face of the destined fate, even in the face of the wrath of the moon god Artemis, thereby changing Actaeon's fate.
And there is no doubt that you have already done all this when you were hunting for sacrifices. "
Hearing what Athena said, Nuoyan couldn't help but recall the bet that day. After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "But after all, I met Meleager on the road. His fate...
What's more, I also heard from the goddess Clotho that Actaeon's affairs are not over yet, and his fate is still intertwined with Meleager's. "
"That is indeed the case, but that is just an excuse in her heart that she does not want to admit." Athena nodded, but did not deny it, and continued: "You have already won the promise, and now you only need to complete the battle against Calydon. The hunting of the wild boar was just for her to see clearly.
As for the hunting of the Calydon boar... you have already succeeded in hunting when you fulfill the oracle I gave you and catch the silver meteor. "
"Because what you will face next is not a trial, but a reward."
"Reward?" Nuoyan looked at Athena in confusion.
What's the reward for hunting that monster?
"Yes." Athena nodded, and her gaze at Nuoyan became a little gentler at this time, and she said: "Moreover, that is not only the gift Artemis promised to give you, but also the gift I gave you to complete the trial. rewards.
Even more... my oath to you! "
pledge?
Hey, can I die?
Just as Nuoyan thought this, the next second Athena suddenly came to him and raised her hand to gently hit her head.
"What are you thinking? How could the end of my oath be so cheap!" Athena said to Nuoyan angrily: "You forgot, I said, I will witness and make you a dazzling star in this era, so that Your name resounds throughout the world!”
"Oh...so what should I do?" Nuo Yan, holding his head, asked subconsciously.
In response to this, Athena just smiled mysteriously and said: "The secret... Anyway, you will know it until tomorrow."
After hearing this, it finally became clear that the Calydonian wild boar was no longer a problem, and he could breathe a sigh of relief before the promise that all problems were over.
"But promise, actually this matter is not the key. I came to you tonight to say something else..."
He then saw the corners of Athena's mouth raised... At this moment, Nuo Yan shuddered!
Because this smile was familiar to him. Athena had this expression when she was tricked in front of the river goddess and asked Nuoyan to catch the shooting stars.
In fact, Athena had the same expression when Hera recognized the wrong person!
"Can I not listen?" Nuoyan couldn't help but say.
"Of course." Who knew that Athena not only agreed happily, but even the smile on her face became a little brighter.
"Then I'd better listen." Nuoyan said in frustration, looking resigned to his fate.
"...It's like it's my fault."
Athena couldn't help but hit Nuo Yan's head again, and said, "Isn't it?" ' With a confused look in his eyes, he said: "Let me declare first that this time it really has nothing to do with me. It's your own fault."
"Me?" Just when Nuo Yan was at a loss.
"Didn't you promise Artemis that you would paint a picture for her?" Athena, with the corner of her mouth raised, revealed the reason.
In an instant, eyes widened, the promise was recalled.
"I said little promise, you don't think Artemis is a very patient goddess like me, do you?
Although she promised you and was willing to give you some time to prepare, but...how long do you think that time will be? "
Looking at the smiling Athena in front of him, Nuoyan couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, his voice became a little trembling, and asked: "How long?"
"Half a month...this should still be the most extreme time."
Athena tilted her head and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "At least, maybe three or five days?...Anyway, as long as it takes more than a week, if she hasn't received the tribute, you can promise her Be mentally prepared.
Get ready for her...hunt on you! "

PS: Sorry, I didn’t update until now.
The main reason is that the illness has not completely recovered, so I write very slowly. Passerby actually started typing at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and spent two hours eating and taking a short rest. I have not finished this chapter until now.
So please forgive me.
Chapter 47 The prediction of the goddess of fate is correct, let me die quickly! (3k)
Atalanta is back,
When she came back, she had hunted some hares, which had been cleaned and could be eaten directly by roasting them by the fire for a while.
Then Atalanta discovered that the Pegasus protecting Nuoyan had disappeared beside Nuoyan, leaving the young man sitting alone by the fire in a daze.
And I don’t know why, but he is showing a look of despair...
Just as Atalanta tilted her head in confusion, she heard footsteps and turned her head as she noticed her promise to come back.
Her emerald eyes reflected the beautiful hunter lady in front of her, and then she said to her in an extremely serious tone: "Atalanta, you know, I now feel that the goddess of fate, Clotho, is right, and her prediction is correct. There is no error.
I will really... perish in that silver meteor! "
Haven't you already caught that horse?
Just when Atalanta heard this, she was puzzled.
