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

Praised Helen, calling her a weapon that can deal with any man.

And after looking at each other again and again, Helen finally believed in her heart that he was really immune to her charm.

Just when Helen was happy about this, but inexplicably disappointed.

Nuoyan, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help laughing out loud.

Then looking at the puzzled Helen in front of him, Nuoyan couldn't help but laugh: "You were just like a frightened little white rabbit... Don't worry, Helen, I will definitely protect you, after all, you are my friend's sister.

They often mentioned you to me, saying that they must introduce you to me when I go down the mountain, so if you don't mind, you can even call me brother... By the way, they also mentioned me to you, what did they say about me?"

Looking at Nuoyan who was looking at him curiously.

Helen hesitated for a while before answering: "Sister said, Nuoyan, Nuoyan brother, you are a person who is absolutely trustworthy under any circumstances, and she said, said.

You are weak, even I can bully you..."

Helen answered honestly, and Nuoyan hadn't reacted yet.

Tianma, who was lying on the side, laughed wantonly, and was glared at by Nuoyan, and then lowered his head and calmed down.

"What are you talking about, what are you talking about!"

Nuoyan said dissatisfiedly, and then came to Helen, stretched out his hand to her, and said: "What do you mean I am so weak that even you can bully me? Your sister and others are talking nonsense. Come, if you don't believe me, let's compete in strength. I am definitely stronger than you!"

Nuoyan was indignant, and Tianma on the side couldn't help rolling his eyes.

You are a child, and you are competing in strength with a little girl!

But Tianma naturally knew that this was Nuoyan relieving Helen's tension.

And Helen heard the words, and honestly put her hand in Nuoyan's hand again.

Just when Helen felt that Nuoyan's hands were so big and she felt so relieved to be held by him, and wondered why Nuoyan hadn't used force yet, and whether she should continue to use force...

"Helen..."

Nuoyan tried to control the expression on his face and said to Helen seriously: "Let's end the game. I suddenly feel that such a game is actually meaningless."

Helen tilted her head in confusion.

Before she could figure out what was going on, Tianma beside her couldn't help it anymore, rolled on the ground, and laughed unscrupulously.

"Brother Ma, I have tolerated you for a long time!"

Nuoyan got up angrily, but found that he was still caught by Helen.

So a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and then he coughed lightly and said to Helen: "Helen, you can actually let go..."

Helen blinked at Nuoyan, and then suddenly realized and let go.

Looking at the scene where Nuoyan rushed to Tianma in shame and anger...

It's really the same as my sister said, even I can be bullied.

Thinking of this, Helen suddenly thought of what happened in the afternoon, and the scene in front of the skull temple, in front of the terrifying Antaeus, but she could still smile calmly and easily defeat him.

Eh, are they really the same person?

Helen was at a loss, and then she looked at Nuoyan who was playing with Pegasus. The two scenes were superimposed on each other. Facing such a contrast, Helen couldn't help but laughed naturally.

And with the appearance of this smile, Helen felt that the tension and fear accumulated after leaving her hometown seemed to be vented at this moment.

While laughing, Helen started crying again.

At the end of crying, she fell asleep again.

She slept on Pegasus.

The next day,

when the sun illuminated the world again, Nuoyan woke up, but he didn't find Helen, and he didn't even see Pegasus.

Just when Nuoyan was confused about this, Pegasus and Helen came back from the forest.

Her golden hair was a little wet, and her aqua blue dress was clean... Pegasus took Helen to wash her hair and clothes.

Speaking of which, Pegasus actually loves cleanliness.

"Brother Nuoyan, you are awake." Helen said, holding the wild fruit she had just picked in her arms, and ran towards Nuoyan in small steps.

The slightly childish soft voice and the pure smile made Nuoyan stunned.

"I understand why they always show off your sister to me... Theseus, you wait for me, you will be beaten no matter what you say this time!"

Looking at Nuoyan gritting his teeth in front of her, Helen was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, she lowered her head slightly with a guilty conscience.

Just when she was hesitant and fell into the struggle of wanting to tell Nuoyan everything, but was afraid to tell Nuoyan the truth.

Unknowingly, they finished breakfast.

Then Pegasus took the two of them to the sky again, heading towards Theseus.

Helen didn't know where Theseus went later, but it didn't matter, because Nuoyan was used to being led by Pegasus.

And Pegasus was naturally used to the location marked by the gods.

The location of Theseus was not far away.

About half a day later, Pegasus brought Nuoyan to an island.

This place was called Crete, and there was a king on the island named Minos.

If you are not familiar with this, then let me mention another thing. There is a huge labyrinth on this island. In the labyrinth, there is a minotaur monster named Minotaur.

His real name is Asterios...

That's right, it is the monster that was destined to be conquered by Theseus!

For this reason, even in the game of FGO, a famous "Bible" was born because of this story.

But in fact, the birth of Asterios is more interesting.

When Minos, the king of this island, became king, he sought miracles from Poseidon, the god of the sea, so that his usurpation of the throne was legitimate. For this reason, he knelt in the temple of Poseidon for a long time and prayed devoutly to him.

Poseidon was very moved by this, so he let a huge and beautiful white bull run out of the ocean and appear in front of King Minos.

And secretly sent a message, asking King Minos to offer it to him, and then Poseidon would show miracles.

Who knew that King Minoes fell in love with the beautiful bull at once, and couldn't bear to kill it, so he slaughtered another ordinary bull for sacrifice, which naturally angered Poseidon, who cursed Minos' wife and made her fall in love with the white bull.

Later, Minos' wife made a wooden cow for herself and came to the white bull.

Then, the Minotaur, the bull-headed man, was born...

By the way, there are some different versions of this story.

One of the classics is that the white bull was actually transformed by Zeus, and the target was naturally the beautiful wife of King Minos.

The second version is that the white bull was actually transformed by Poseidon, the god of the sea, at the beginning, and was about to play a hand at the end of the sacrifice, and then he appeared and said that King Minos helped him and he was the real king.

But no matter which version, there is no doubt that King Minos wore a green hat, and the one who put the hat on him was a bull!

Later, after asking Pegasus to take good care of Helen, Nuoyan went to the kingdom on the island. After revealing his identity, he soon met the king Minos.

When he learned Nuoyan's purpose, King Minos told Nuoyan directly that Theseus had entered the labyrinth yesterday.

And this was the punishment given to Theseus by Hades, the god of the underworld.

This is also the reason why Theseus appeared here, but not in the underworld.

Let's first talk about how Theseus and his friends entered the underworld. The person who helped them enter the underworld was none other than Hermes, the messenger of the gods!

Knowing that the two of them were so bold that they wanted to go to the underworld to see Persephone, how could Hermes, who loved to watch the excitement, not satisfy their desires.

So he took them into the underworld and even took them to the palace of Hades, the god of the underworld, but in fact Persephone was not here at all.

She was still on vacation with her mother goddess, Demeter.

And the one who took her away was none other than Nuoyan himself.

However, they were discovered by Hades not long after walking in the palace, and Hermes had naturally slipped away at this time.

Just when Hades knew their intention and was ready to let them enter the endless abyss and receive eternal punishment, Theseus hurriedly opened the sachet left by Hermes when he left. There was only one sentence in it, which was to let Theseus reveal his identity.

So Theseus introduced himself to Hades.

Hades, who was not interested at first, asked about his relationship with Nuoyan when he heard that Theseus was Chiron's student.

Although Theseus was shocked to hear Nuoyan's name from Hades, he still pretended to be his friend.

So Hades, who was silent for a while, let him go.

Thrown to Crete, let him enter the maze, survive if he survived, die if he died.

As for the other person, he was imprisoned forever by Hades.

Minos, the king of this island, went to the underworld after his death and became one of the three judges of the underworld in ancient Greek mythology!

Nuoyan didn't know much about the underworld. When he heard from King Minos that Theseus had entered the labyrinth, Nuoyan didn't react much at first.

After all, he had long known that Theseus was the hero who had conquered the calf.

Until he came to the door of the labyrinth, he didn't see any ropes, and the guards at the door said that Theseus didn't bring any ropes at all.

Not only did he not bring any weapons, he didn't even have a torch. It was more like going in to die than to defeat the monster.

Nuoyan finally felt something was wrong.

"No, I have to go in and take a look!" Nuoyan frowned and finally said so.

By the way, starting tomorrow, the Argo will set sail!

Chapter 105 As long as you are by my side, I won't be afraid (7.k)

This is known as a labyrinth that is absolutely inescapable.

In order to get rid of this special Minotaur child and to cover up the shame, King Minos asked people to build this labyrinth.

The famous craftsman who built this labyrinth was called Daedalus, and he had a son named Ikaros.

After the labyrinth was completed, the satisfied King Minos prepared to kill them so that no one in the world could walk out of the labyrinth.

In order to escape, the famous craftsman collected feathers from all the birds in the world, built wings for humans, and flew into the sky with his child Icarus.

However, Icarus was fascinated by the freedom of flying, so he forgot his father's advice, flew higher and higher, and even wanted to fly into the sun.

So the high temperature eventually burned the wings, and Icarus, who lost his wings, fell into the deep sea and was drowned.

And now, Theseus came to this maze.

Because of the punishment of Hades, the god of the underworld, he could not bring any weapons, so naturally he never left a rope in front of the maze door, and even no torches.

So Theseus has been wandering in this maze for a whole day.

Theseus also tried to leave a mark on the road, but because there was no torch, even if he left a mark, he might not notice it if he passed by again.

So Theseus didn't know where he was at all, let alone how to move forward.

He tried to pray to the gods for help, but no god responded to him.

In the deep maze, silence and darkness ate away at his mind bit by bit, and exhaustion and hunger made his steps heavier.

Moreover, even if he reached the end of the maze, what awaited him was not treasure and power, but the monster named Lightning—Asterios!

Defeat Him, or escape from Him, and leave this absolutely inescapable maze, this is the test that Hades, the god of the underworld, gave Theseus for trespassing into the underworld.

And because there was no weapon, this test was actually not much different from letting Theseus die.

But this could not be blamed on Hades, after all, Theseus and his friend went to the underworld to find Persephone, not for fun, but to kidnap this bright goddess.

So in Hades' heart, Theseus was already dead, and he threw Theseus into this maze, not to wait for him to come out by himself, but to wait for that person's choice.

......

......

"Brother Nuoyan, no, you can't go in!"

When Nuoyan returned to Tianma and Helen and told them that he was going to the maze, Tianma hadn't responded yet, and Helen objected excitedly.

Antaeus's story left a deep impression on Helen. She witnessed how Nuoyan defeated him and saved her.
