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

"Then again, in that case, there is no need for you to get the leaves of the ancient tree." Atalanta said this casually after thinking about this.

When Nuoyan heard this, he glanced at her and said, "Because I hold a grudge!"

"Hold a grudge?" Atalanta, who obviously didn't expect to get this answer, looked at him with confusion.

"Yeah, hold a grudge!"

Nuoyan nodded without any embarrassment. Instead, he said very proudly: "Atalanta, you have never thought about why I have to pull you and let others spread your name... Who let You laughed at me when we first met!"

Because of the thief's spread of reputation, Atalanta did make a promise because of this.

"......ha?!"

But now the belated truth was suddenly unavailable to Atalanta.

"This time you went even further. You actually laughed at me as a coward with so many people!"

"I really didn't have any intention of picking the leaves at first, but now..."

As he said that, Nuoyan looked at Atalanta with a proud face.

"The stake is in my hand now, and the leaves are also in my hand. Atalanta, if one day you make me unhappy, I will... Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

Placing the leaf on the stake one step faster than Atalanta represented victory.

And victory means winning the beauty back.

"This, this...promise, you bastard!"

"Yeah, it's hitting someone, it's hitting someone, Atalanta is hitting someone, Goddess Artemis, God Apollo, please save me, please save me!"

In the early morning, under the blue sky, the bright sunshine shines here.

A furious Atalanta ran around after Promise holding her head.

Under this warm light, the two gods were watching this scene silently.

"Actually, where is the need for such trouble?"

Apollo, standing next to Artemis, could not help but chuckle when he saw this: "There is no need for the leaves and wooden stakes at all, just tell her how much that child paid in order to be in front of her. Just work hard and you'll be fine...

Do you think I'm right, Artemis? "

Moon Goddess Artemis heard this but did not reply.

Pegasus was imprisoned in the sky, and the gods no longer responded to the call of promise, but even so, the weak young man still did not stop.

Even though he entered the dense and dark ancient forest alone, even though he faced the beasts and monsters along the way in the Age of Gods, and suffered so many injuries, he still came to her.

But when the golden-antlered deer appeared, it actually represented Artemis, who finally relented.

Chapter 112 The Argonauts set sail! (6k)

"So, there is such a simple way?"

"Yes, if I had known earlier, I could have done it..."

When Atalanta came back and found that the stake was missing and left in pursuit of her promise, the onlookers couldn't help but become angry again after laughing.

Especially those who lost to Atalanta in the competition.

They looked in the direction of the promise with annoyance, envy and extreme jealousy, telling the people around them about the unfairness of their fate, saying that if they had to do it again, they would definitely do better and be better than the promise!

After all, the promise is only based on appearance, and he really doesn't look like a hero.

So the crowd became noisy again, and the defeated people echoed.

Looking at this scene, the bard god hidden in the crowd, Hermes, just felt that they were really noisy and boring.

And put down the feather hat on his head, unwilling to continue looking.

Stupid guys, so what if I give you another chance? The real game was actually over when the boy arrived.

This is a race, but the real track is not here.

The people here don't know, but the gods who have been watching Nuoyan know very well that the real runway is actually the distance from Nuoyan to Atalanta.

This is a very long distance, and even the goddess of the night, Nyx, secretly helped to make the sun rise a little later, so that the promise could be reached.

And even if you know the answer, if you are given a chance, can you really pull out the wooden stake that represents the end point?

Hermes smiled disdainfully,

You must know that this game was witnessed by the gods from beginning to end, and that god was Apollo, the god of moon and light.

Promise was able to pick up the wooden stake that represented the end, not because he thought of this, but just because he... was Promise.

And in fact, even if this matter does not involve a promise, the two gods Artemis and Apollo will protect Atalanta. It is absolutely impossible for someone to borrow the power of the goddess of beauty to let Atalanta The scene where Atalanta submits.

Because now Atalanta is actually the true darling of the moon god Artemis.

Don’t forget the painting in the Calydon Kingdom, the painting dedicated to the moon god by lighting up the night with sky lanterns.

The first sky lantern at that time was not lit by a promise, but by Atalanta.

Atalanta was the first one to offer blessings. She was grateful to the Moon God for her upbringing and sincerely wished the other person eternal innocence and flawless beauty.

At this time, Atalanta and Nuoyan, who were playing and fighting, finally arrived under the ancient tree... The wind was loud but the rain was light. The waving fists and the fully drawn bows and arrows along the way actually did not fall on Nuoyan at all.

When they arrived, Artemis and Apollo had already stood there under the dense ancient tree and waited for them for a long time.

And they all put on their divine clothes and attended in their best attire.

Seeing the two gods appear, Atalanta immediately greeted them respectfully, and Nuoyan did the same.

But during that process, her eyes were a little erratic, and she did not dare to look at Artemis who was staring at her.

In fact, at this time, Atalanta actually looked at Artemis, her goddess, with a complicated look... Atalanta was actually a very smart person, she was not stupid.

When Nuoyan arrived, seeing his embarrassed appearance, Atalanta was very angry at first, and kept asking Nuoyan who turned him into this state.

But when Nuoyan couldn't help but sigh that the goddess was really jealous, Atalanta suddenly said nothing and stopped asking anything.

That was naturally because she already knew the answer at that time.

"Nuoyan, have you decided the outcome of this game?" Then it was Apollo who spoke first, and his dazzling eyes looked at Nuoyan softly.

"Yes, respected God of Light Apollo."

Let this game go on forever, it will be a game that will never have a result, so the girl can run forever and do what she likes.

Hearing this, Atalanta moved her eyes away from Artemis and put them back on Nuoyan.

"Is that so."

Although he already knew the answer, Apollo, who really heard this answer, still showed a very relieved smile.

Then he picked a leaf from the tall ancient tree beside him.

The moment the leaf touched the god of light, it turned into an eternal golden leaf, and then Apollo handed it to Nuoyan.

At the same time, Artemis, the moon goddess, also picked a leaf, which turned into an eternal silver leaf and handed it to Atalanta.

The game was like this, starting with the three-foot wooden stake, picking the leaf here, and then putting the leaf on the three-foot wooden stake, which meant the end of the game.

Under the witness of the gods and the hope of Nuoyan, this became an eternal race.

But the two gods still handed the leaves that could end the game to their own hands at this moment.

The meaning of the golden leaf that Apollo gave to Nuoyan is easy to understand, no need to say more, as for the silver leaf that Artemis gave to Atalanta, it represents another meaning.

Under the night sky, Atalanta gave Artemis everything she had, and now Artemis returned the future she had given to Atalanta.

Because this was Atalanta's last game witnessed by the gods, and the game represented the marriage that bound Atalanta, the fate that the goddess of fate Clotho saw.

The promise kept the game going. Although Atalanta could never get involved in any marriage again, it also meant that Atalanta would never get married before the end of this game.

Therefore, the silver leaf that Artemis gave to Atalanta meant release.

When Atalanta placed the silver leaf on the wooden stake at the finish line, the game ended, and it also meant that Atalanta could embrace another future.

"Goddess Artemis..."

After taking the silver leaf, Atalanta was stunned for a while, and his eyes widened a little bit, and gradually figured out what it meant.

He looked at Artemis in shock, excitement, and panic.

But before she could speak, the voice of Artemis, which only she could hear, rang in her ears.

"I give it to you because you are my child, and I sincerely hope that you can be happy and forever happy."

It was a very gentle voice. At this moment, Artemis was a goddess.

But...

"But this does not mean that I will give you the child of my promise. Even if it is you, little Atalanta, I will never give it to you!"

The next second, the gentle goddess voice disappeared, replaced by an angry voice.

Atalanta blinked her holy blue eyes and looked at the goddess in front of her who puffed up her mouth and looked at her unhappily.

The emotions that had originally emerged in her heart disappeared in an instant, so she naturally put the silver leaf away.

When the matter was done, the god was ready to disappear.

But before leaving, Apollo dragged Artemis away... Apollo finally understood it now.

Artemis had no intention of bringing Atalanta and Nuoyan together from the beginning.

She had only one thing in mind from the beginning to the end, which was to rob the believer who respected her the most!

The gods left, and standing under the dense old tree, Nuoyan looked at the beautiful hunter lady who had been staring at him quietly for some time.

"Hmm? What's wrong... Oh, by the way, Atalanta, do you need to go back again?" Nuoyan still remembered that the king here was Atalanta's adopted father.

"No need."

Atalanta replied calmly: "There is no need... I have no family, because I have been abandoned long ago, so the only one who can be called my family in this world, my mother, is actually that one person now.

That is the goddess Artemis who raised me."

I don't know if it is an illusion, Nuoyan always feels that when Atalanta mentioned the word mother, she deliberately emphasized it a little... It's like accusing a goddess of snatching things from her own children.

Nuoyan shook his head and threw away the extra thoughts in his mind, and subconsciously asked: "Then, shall we go now?"

"Okay." Atalanta agreed without thinking, and subconsciously said: "I will go wherever you go..."

At this point, Atalanta realized that something was wrong, and after a slight pause, he hurriedly added: "Because our game is not over yet."

"What you said, do you want to follow me for the rest of my life because of this game?"

Nuoyan was speechless and smiled.

Atalanta did not answer this, but slightly shifted her gaze, no longer looking at Nuoyan, and reached out to press down the scattered black hair beside her ear.

Then Pegasus spread its silver-white wings again, carrying Nuoyan and Atalanta to fly under the blue sky.

In the Kingdom of Arcadia, the onlookers and the king waited for Atalanta and Nuoyan to return, but they waited for a long time, but they could not wait for the result.

Because this game will continue forever, until one day, the boy or the hunter lady puts the leaf in his hand on the wooden stake representing the finish line.

......

......

A few days later,

When Pegasus returned to Jason's hometown, the kingdom called Iolcus, and took Nuoyan and Atalanta back to the gathering place where heroes gathered.

"Hey, Theseus?"

When he came back, he saw Nuoyan, who was tied up with ropes and fell under a big tree. He was very surprised and said, "How come you came back so soon... Did you break our agreement?"

It had not been a month since Theseus's incident, and Nuoyan really couldn't figure out how he could run back so quickly without any means of transportation.

As for why he was hung here, it was naturally because Helen's sister and brother beat him up and hung him here as a punishment.

"No, no, I didn't!"

Seeing Nuoyan's expression was a little unhappy, the hung Theseus hurriedly explained: "I ran to Helen's hometown that day, apologized to her parents, and after being forgiven, I woke up after a sleep and found myself back here.

And in a half-asleep, I seemed to hear the voice of the goddess Persephone, she said that she had forgiven me and asked me to go back quickly..."

Hearing this, Nuoyan was stunned.
