PS: Passers-by are not being lazy, and they are not deliberately stuck in the plot!
8.5k, who knew that 8.5k didn’t even have the plot written out!
In fact, the plot of this painting is probably No. 1, which I originally planned to use for New Year’s Eve.
Today is actually just the right day for Christmas, but who knew I’ve written so much and still haven’t written it out yet?
By the way, my Croto is so cute!
Chapter 55: Present a painting that lights up the night sky to the goddess Artemis! (7.5k)
Kingdom of Calydon,
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
When night was coming and the blue sky was rendered into the color of sunset, Pegasus, the horse, flapped his silver-white wings and came to Calyx with Promise and Atalanta in an ancient Greek dress. In a high mountain on the outskirts of the Winter Kingdom.
The view here is very broad, and you can catch the beautiful sky in your eyes when you raise your head. It is Nuoyan who has been sitting on Pegasus these days and has chosen a suitable place for a long time.
Next to it is a crystal clear pond formed by clear springs. Around the pond, in order to calm down the long-awaited Moon Goddess Artemis, the promise was specially made to symbolize the gathering of thousands of favors, representing the Decorated with pure and noble white lilies.
"Tonight is finally here." Atalanta, who got off the pegasus, scanned the surroundings with her holy green eyes, and then looked up at the sunset sky.
He stretched out his hand, felt it quietly, then laughed and said, "It's great, the wind seems to have stopped."
"That's because before tonight, I made a special trip to the temple of the wind god Aeolus, so tonight is a windless night in the Calydon area."
Promise explained to Atalanta.
As for which goddess the Wind God was looking at, so he happily agreed to the promise, the promise is unknown.
After all, even if he made the promise, he would not have expected that not long after he came out of the temple of the wind god Aeolus, Athena, Hera, Artemis, and Clotho had already appeared. In front of the confused Fengshen...
While speaking, Nuo Yan also took out the canvas and brushes, and set aside the painting that was more than half completed except for the final embellishment.
Then he looked at the sunset in the sky like Atalanta, and said with emotion: "I have been preparing for a whole week, and finally the time has come.
I hope the goddess Artemis will be satisfied with this painting of mine. "
And from now on, give up hunting me completely!
After hearing what the promise said, Atalanta turned her eyes away. After placing her gaze on him, something strange flashed in her eyes.
After all, Atalanta, who has been helping throughout this week, naturally already understands what the picture painted by the promise is.
In fact, not only her, but many people in the Calydon Kingdom also guessed it.
It was precisely because of its poor secrecy that Nuoyan sought help from Clotho, the goddess of fate, and asked her to help keep an eye on the goddess Artemis and prevent them from peeping.
After all, for gifts, waiting is actually an important part. When everything is in place and truly revealed, it is the most surprising and satisfying moment for the other party.
At the same time, it was precisely because Atalanta already knew that she understood in her heart that there was absolutely no way that the goddess Artemis would be dissatisfied with this tribute.
To be precise, Atalanta even felt that this painting, no matter if it was given to any goddess, would definitely gain the favor of that goddess.
No one, or indeed no woman, could refuse the charm of that painting, including her, the most loyal believer of Artemis.
At this moment, deep in Atalanta's heart, she even felt jealous of Artemis who was about to receive the painting...
Therefore, she really didn't understand what Nuoyan was afraid of.
After all, although Atalanta's faith in Artemis had wavered a little, even if she was beaten to death, she would not have thought that Artemis would be such a heavyweight goddess in the future!
"Actually, I shouldn't have come with you."
Thinking of this, Atalanta couldn't help but said to Nuoyan: "That is the gift you presented to the great Artemis, what you prepared, so I..."
Before Atalanta finished speaking, Nuoyan, who was startled, turned around and said to her: "No, Atalanta, you can't leave!"
I don't want to be alone with Artemis.
And what if there is an eventuality that she hunts me as soon as she comes!
"And aren't you going to take this opportunity to express your gratitude to the goddess Artemis for saving you and raising you up?
Besides, the tribute tonight is not made by me alone, but by everyone in the Calydon Kingdom. "
After hearing this, Atalanta looked at Nuoyan staring at her, afraid that she was really gone, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "Then tell me, when will the goddess Artemis arrive? ?”
Seeing that Atalanta gave up the idea of leaving and relaxed her promise, she replied: "I think we should be there soon..."
But before the words of the promise were finished, the originally sunset sky was covered by the night.
Nyx, the goddess of the night, came to the world and hung the stars in the night sky. At the same time, the full moonlight also shone on the land of the Gods.
So under the eyes of Nuoyan and Atalanta, the beautiful goddess sitting on the golden-antlered deer, wearing exquisite divine clothes, walked out of the moonlight.
Stepping next to the pool decorated with white lilies, they appeared in front of them.
Artemis, the moon goddess, is here,
To be precise, I couldn't wait to come.
She was still bulging her face and looked very unhappy. Her sky-blue eyes were staring at the promise in front of her. As soon as she appeared, she said: "I am very unhappy.
Huh, I'm very unhappy now! "
"I tell you my promise, if the painting you give me tonight does not satisfy me, then I will definitely hunt you tonight!"
With that said, Artemis, who showed her determination, had already opened the silver bow that emerged from the moonlight, and stared at Nuo Yan angrily.
Seeing this, Atalanta was naturally stunned on the spot by this side of the goddess, while Nuo Yan had an expression as expected.
After all, if he hadn't guessed that this would be the case, how could he have dragged Atalanta around.
Artemis was not a patient goddess, not to mention that this week had whetted her appetite.
In fact, just Clotho's words couldn't stop her. Fortunately, Athena and Hera were also there.
At this time, the two of them, as well as Clotho, who had been standing quietly beside them, were hiding in the dark... Clotho is actually not a god who likes excitement, because his white eyes are in charge of all things. Because of the thread of future destiny, she rarely leaves the Temple of Destiny.
So a week ago, when Clotho appeared and stopped the goddesses, even Athena was a little surprised.
At this time, Athena's beautiful golden eyes were looking at Nuoyan and Atalanta with strong interest and expectation.
Naturally, she was also full of expectations for Nuo Yan's painting, and she deliberately did not take a peek.
Due to the special fate of Nuoyan, the characteristic of being abandoned by the goddess of fate and yet still attached to him... In fact, in a more popular way, Nuoyan's fate is actually equivalent to Schrödinger's cat.
Even the goddess of fate can't really see what it will be like before the ending actually comes, and can only capture the greatest possibility.
Therefore, even Athena, who can see everything in the world, is still uncertain.
This is also the reason why Athena's eyes have basically been focused on Promise in the past half year.
Not only because the promise never disappoints Athena, but more importantly, the viewing experience is completely different between being spoiled and not being spoiled!
"I understand, noble goddess Artemis, I will do my best to present that painting to you tonight!"
After the promise was finished, Artemis' expression softened a lot after hearing the words. After putting away the silver bow, she got off the golden-horned deer and quickly came to the painting held by the promise.
After taking in the scenery in the painting with anticipation, Artemis immediately frowned.
I saw that the painting that appeared in Artemis's eyes at this moment was indeed a very beautiful painting.
The scenery in the painting is actually the scenery here.
Stars dot the night, and the clear pool in the painting even reflects the full moon and stars in it, surrounded by pure white lilies.
This is a good painting, but... it definitely cannot meet Artemis' expectations at this moment!
Even with Artemis's eyes, it was enough to see that this painting, not to mention the painting of Athena, was not even comparable to the previous painting of the Pegasus.
Not to mention that there is no figure of her in this painting!
"Is this the painting you presented to me?" Then Artemis's face naturally gradually became ugly, and she turned to look at Nuo Yan.
Seeing this, Queen Hera, who also had the painting in her eyes in the dark, couldn't help but look at Athena beside her, and said worriedly: "Athena, look, should we go out and stop her now? Artemis, otherwise I'm worried..."
"Hera is unnecessary, because..." As she said that, Athena turned her golden eyes to Clotho, who was still standing quietly at the moment.
Looking at the goddess of fate in front of her, whose expression did not change at all, Athena laughed and said: "He promises that he will never let us down!"
Hearing what Athena said and looking at her confident look, Hera, who was still hesitant, did not move in the end, but her amber eyes looking at Nuo Yan were filled with worry.
Hera, the goddess of promises.
It seems that this is the first time that Hera has truly looked at this believer who can bring her glory from the perspective of an 'audience'.
"This is indeed a painting dedicated to you, the beautiful goddess Artemis."
Nuoyan said, not waiting for Artemis to get angry after hearing this, and added: "But this painting is actually not completed yet, because I cannot paint it alone."
"Tonight, it's not me alone who pays tribute to you, the goddess Artemis, but everyone in the entire Calydon Kingdom."
After finishing the words, when Artemis was slightly stunned after hearing this, Nuoyan continued: "They offer tribute to you. I hope that you, kind goddess, will forgive them for their rudeness. At the same time, this is what I truly dedicate to you." Artemis your painting.”
Hearing this, Artemis naturally tilted her head and looked around.
Her eyes paused on Atalanta for a while, and then she looked at Nuoyan with more doubts, saying: "They?... But there are only you and little Atalanta here?"
Nuoyan smiled and looked at Atalanta.
Atalanta nodded slightly, walked to the Pegasus beside her, and took out the things that had been prepared long ago.
It was something Artemis had never seen before, and it was also something that could be made very simply.
It could carry people's wishes, and at the same time carry people's thoughts, blessings, and the sadness and pain of farewell, and slowly rise to the sky.
Atalanta lit it, and when the seemingly weak light lit up under the night sky tonight, the Pegasus, which had whistled softly, suddenly ran, turned into a meteor, and ran towards the stars in the night sky.
Then Artemis looked at Atalanta holding it and walking towards her in doubt.
"Goddess Artemis, I've always wanted to tell you, thank you."
At this moment, Atalanta seemed a little nervous, but at the same time very serious.
When Artemis was slightly stunned, Atalanta stared at her in front of her, showing a rare gentle smile, and said: "I have never forgotten the gift you gave me... When my parents abandoned me in the ice and snow, it was you who appeared and hugged me, holding my little hand, and coaxing me to be happy. At the same time, you taught me hunting skills and raised me up."
"Therefore, Goddess Artemis, I, Atalanta, have already made a vow. I am willing to dedicate my short life to you. I am willing to stay by your side and wish you great beauty and happiness forever..."
After that, Atalanta let go of her hand.
Then in the reflection of Artemis's blue eyes, the faint light, carrying Atalanta's blessing to her, rose to the sky day by day.
The goddess of wisdom Athena also witnessed the scene in front of her.
'This is not a painting that I can complete alone, but a painting that everyone in the Kingdom of Calydon can complete...'
And in an instant, she also recalled what Nuoyan said.
So after coming back to her senses, she suddenly raised her head and looked around.
I saw that the high mountains dotted with white lilies were as beautiful as a painting, but the tall trees covered everything around.
Athena realized something at this moment, so she raised her head again and looked at the Pegasus that was already running towards the sea of stars.
She took a step forward lightly and then came behind Pegasus.
The goddess of fate Clotho's ears moved slightly, and then she chuckled, but did not stop it, because she knew that the scenery she saw in the Temple of Fate that day, that beautiful painting... was coming.
As for Athena's sudden appearance, Pegasus was naturally flustered for a while, but soon stabilized his body.
Sitting on Pegasus, Athena lowered her head and looked at the world under the night sky, and then her golden eyes widened little by little...
"Athena, what happened to you suddenly?" Hera, who was puzzled, followed Athena to Pegasus.
Seeing that Athena did not answer her, she followed her line of sight and looked at the ground at this time.
And when the lights on the ground lit up Hera's amber eyes.
And when a picture was presented.
Hera was stunned.
She opened her eyes wide, opened her mouth slightly, and subconsciously wanted to scream, Athena reached out and covered her mouth.
Then Athena put her index finger on her lips to keep Hera, whose eyes were wide open, from making a sound.
Then, she, who was also restless in her heart, once again focused her eyes on Nuoyan, and Artemis, who was now staring blankly at the lights of Atalanta rising into the sky.
Soon, Athena laughed.
