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

For some unknown reason, she finally put down the hand holding the mask and presented everything about herself to Nuoyan.

When Nuoyan began to work on the squatting Pegasus with an extremely focused expression, he never thought that the moment the brush fell, the canvas would turn into ashes because it could not withstand the gods.

Hephaestus looked at Nuoyan who was at a loss in front of him, sighed lightly, and picked up the artifact that Nuoyan had thrown aside, which was considered a treasure among the gods.

He drew a canvas in the air and let it fall in front of Nuoyan.

"Stupid... And this way, it doesn't count as violating your agreement with Hera."

Hearing this, Nuoyan took the canvas with a face full of surprise.

He didn't notice that the maid doll lady who ran in at this time was shocked, unbelievable, and had a strange look at everything in front of her.

So just like this, Nuoyan portrayed Hephaestus in front of him.

And this time, what he painted was everything he saw now.

In short, Hephaestus sat on the bed with weak legs, wearing a white pajamas, and her long golden hair, as tall as her body, fell on the bed in the sunshine.

She took off the mask and revealed her true appearance.

In fact, the birthmark that burned like a flame did affect her flawless beauty as a goddess and the daughter of Hera, the queen of heaven.

And there is no way to remove this birthmark.

Because it represents the power controlled by Hephaestus. While Hephaestus is the god of craftsmen, she is also the god of fire in ancient Greek mythology.

As for the broken legs, it is actually the easiest to solve, but also the most difficult to solve.

Hephaestus is not unable to stand up. After all, this is not a curse. She just can't get over the hurdle in her heart.

Its brokenness is due to Hera's ruthless abandonment of her and the hope of throwing her to death.

But it is precisely because of this that Hephaestus, who is completely presented in front of Nuoyan at this moment, is not a flawless god like Athena.

Nuoyan, who witnessed this moment, would pick up the brush excitedly.

Time did not pass too long.

In just over an hour, Nuoyan finished the painting at this moment.

When he had just finished and had not had time to appreciate it, Hephaestus grabbed it.

And just one glance, her face turned red.

Hephaestus then realized that he was still wearing pajamas.

And...

"So beautiful..."

Looking at the painting with a faint smile, under the bright sunshine, the long golden hair fell as if hugging himself, Hephaestus lost his mind for a moment.

"Yes, it's beautiful." Nuoyan said with a smile.

And as soon as he finished speaking, the Pegasus representing art on the side nodded and called out.

"Dear master, in fact... you have always been so beautiful." In such an atmosphere, the maid said this with the courage to be demolished.

Hephaestus did not respond immediately. She just tilted her head and stared at Nuoyan quietly for a while.

"But, my legs are disabled, and there are ugly marks on my face. I am not a flawless goddess, but the ugliest god among all the gods..."

She said softly, and then looked at herself in the painting again.

"But, beautiful is beautiful." Nuoyan replied.

Things are sometimes not that complicated. Hephaestus is not ugly. Even if there is a birthmark like a flame that destroys the flawless beauty, its existence makes Hephaestus more eye-catching and impressive.

It's just that the puppets dare not mention this matter, and among the gods, she is incomplete, not flawless, so she is the ugliest, not to mention that later because of his marriage with the goddess of beauty, Hephaestus simply appeared in the world as a male god.

Nuoyan couldn't lie to her, and this painting was the best proof, so Hephaestus's expression naturally became complicated.

After a while, she put down the painting and put on the mask again.

As soon as she put on the mask, she saw the regret flashing in Nuoyan's eyes.

Seeing this, Hephaestus, who suddenly felt reluctant, took off the mask again.

But for some reason, after exposing his appearance completely to Nuoyan, Hephaestus now felt inexplicably ashamed.

So after taking a deep breath, Hephaestus forced himself to calm down and said to Nuoyan: "Nuoyan, you go out first, I..."

I want to be quiet.

Before he could finish his words, Hephaestus saw Nuoyan, whose face was full of innocence, raising his left hand to him.

The silver chain made a slight friction sound with his movements.

So Hephaestus didn't know what to say all of a sudden, because she actually hadn't had time to make the key, and now she wanted to open it, she was powerless.

And the maid looked at Hephaestus, whose expression was frozen in front of her, the noble and great master she created.

She knew that if she laughed now, she would definitely be torn down, and she was trying hard to hold it back.

"Oh, by the way, I don't think I have answered your question, Goddess Hephaestus."

Thinking of the promise at this time, the emerald eyes looked directly at her and replied seriously: "You are very beautiful. I think you are not ugly at all, Goddess Hephaestus, but a very beautiful woman." The goddess."

The words fell,

"Chirp——"

Pegasus gave a soft cry and stood up, wagging his tail.

Slipping away.

When the maid saw this, she hurriedly followed him, and after leaving the door, she could no longer hold back her face and laughed wildly.

Because before they left, the change of expression on Hephaestus's face was so wonderful that even the base of his ears turned completely red later.

Chapter 83 Hera? Just an unimportant mother (6k)

later,

The maid finally got her own name, Okleia.

Its name symbolizes chastity and glory.

In ancient Greek legends, this was the name of the daughter of Hephaestus, and she was created, just like Pandora, to be the daughter of this god.

The reason why Hephaestus gave the maid the name is very simple.

"Nuoyan asked me what your names are. I said you don't have names, but he said you should have names, otherwise it would be inconvenient to call them, so you have them."

Hephaestus said it casually, as if it was a small thing.

But the maid Okleia cried for a long time the night she got her name. To be precise, all the dolls in the temple hugged each other and cried for a long time.

Because having a name means that they are no longer waste products that can be replaced at any time. From that moment on, they truly have a life of their own.

At the same time, starting from that day, the dull and lifeless temple ushered in a transformation. In just over half a month, earth-shaking changes took place.

Both the maid Okleia and the other dolls in the temple knew very well who this change came from.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month later.

early morning,

The maid Okleia, dressed in a maid uniform, woke up the sleeping promise in the temple.

"Good morning, noble Lord Promise."

Her long flaxen hair floated with the morning breeze. Okleya, who was wearing a special maid outfit, grabbed the hem of her apron and gave an elegant salute while showing her brightest smile in the morning to Nuoyan.

This maid uniform was made by Okleya herself. During an accidental chat, Nuoyan casually mentioned the maid costume for service, and Okleya later made it.

Nuoyan stood up and yawned. There was still a silver cuff tied to his left hand, but there was no chain.

Hephaestus said that this was an improved version. In order to facilitate the free movement of Promise, as long as he did not leave the temple, the chains would not be triggered to trap him.

But Eukleia, who had been serving the goddess, knew very well that Hephaestus was lying, because she saw with her own eyes how Hephaestus forged it.

This is not a bondage that can trap even gods, it is just a decoration.

Hephaestus no longer bound his promise, and he could leave whenever he wanted, but he did not leave.

Because he said that Hephaestus made such a precious artifact, so he should give Hephaestus a gift in return.

The best return gift that Nuoyan can give is undoubtedly painting, but because of the agreement with Hera, she is the first god that Nuoyan truly depicts... Although at this point, Athena, The river goddess Aegina and even Hephaestus at this moment.

You can just give it a like and that’s it.

The idea of ​​returning the gift came from the oracle given to him by Athena. For this reason, he stayed in this temple for more than half a month.

However, the maid Okleya felt that there was no need to be so troublesome.

Because of the gift in return, that painting and that sentence half a month ago were already the best gifts he had ever received in his life for Hephaestus.

But Okleya is naturally smart enough not to say it, after all...

"Goddess Hephaestus, good morning."

Wearing a light blue simple suit with a silver ponytail tied on his head, Promise arrived at Hephaestus' room shortly after waking up.

At this moment, Hephaestus had already sat up and changed his clothes.

The long golden hair as tall as her body was scattered on the white bed.

Then she stretched out her hands to Nuoyan, and Nuoyan carefully picked her up and placed her on the wooden wheelchair nearby.

Promise then pushed Hephaestus out of the door, taking Okleia's place.

Okleya was not dissatisfied with this, but was still smiling happily.

Hephaestus had given up the idea of ​​cutting off his long hair, and even asked Ocleia to take care of it carefully every day, even though she once hated the golden hair.

On the way out, the puppets they met would greet the two of them respectfully, and their laughter naturally reached Hephaestus's ears.

Hephaestus always felt that both the sunlight and the moonlight at night were gentler and brighter recently.

What she looks forward to most every day when she closes her eyes is to wake up the next day... If it weren't for the last time he forged the artifact for the promise, Hephaestus would not have chosen to rest recently.

Soon Promise pushed Hephaestus into a room.

This is the room where Hephaestus occasionally carves when he is resting. Hephaestus has been coming here very frequently recently. The reason is...

"Teacher Hephaestus, I am bothering you today too." Nuoyan picked up the stone chisel and stone hammer and said to the goddess Hephaestus beside him eagerly.

Yes, Hephaestus is now Nuoyan's teacher, and what she teaches is the art of carving.

Nuoyan actually has a sense of consciousness. He is getting further and further away from a traditional hero, but getting closer and closer to a world-famous artist.

However, Nuoyan has also let it go. After all, according to the existence of the Heroic Spirit Class Card in his hand, Nuoyan already knows that after his death, he will at least be an A-level Heroic Spirit.

In addition to the end of the Athena oath, Nuoyan is not in a hurry about death. Therefore, what Nuoyan is concerned about now, in addition to finding people, is to draw the gods in the sky.

Hera, Athena, Artemis and Apollo, as well as Demeter and Hades, the god of the underworld, and now Hephaestus.

In fact, if you count carefully, Nuoyan has already completed seven paintings.

The remaining main gods are actually only the king of gods Zeus, the god of the sea Poseidon, the goddess of beauty Aphrodite, the god of war Ares, and the last virgin goddess Hestia.

Oh, yes, there is also a messenger of the gods who may or may not refuse, but has already met, Hermes!

So Nuoyan's painting is theoretically more than half completed.

"You are really talented. It will probably take only one or two years at most. Even I can't find any faults in your work."

Hephaestus also picked up the carving tools and said to Nuoyan with a smile.

In response, Eucleia, who was standing quietly aside, couldn't help but look at Nuoyan again.

Because only in this matter, Hephaestus will never lie.

The oracle given to Nuoyan by Athena was 'She is the most difficult to satisfy, but at the same time the easiest to satisfy god. '

The most difficult to satisfy refers to the perfection that Hephaestus pursues.

Hephaestus pursues perfection. She is the god of forging, so she does not allow her works to be imperfect, which is why she has never looked at the puppets she created.

At the same time, the reason for pursuing perfection also comes from Hera.

She is an imperfect existence in Hera's eyes, so Hephaestus has been working hard, hoping to make herself perfect and let Hera recognize her.

Until she was completely desperate.
