And this is also a very traditional way in this era. The winning or losing of a sacred duel witnessed by the gods will determine the future of both of them!

Chapter 140: Presenting the most beautiful golden apple (7.5k)

"Peleeus, can you tell me now what happened?"

On the surface of the sea, Nuoyan looked at Peleus who was coming back and challenging him to a duel, and asked the confusion in his heart.

There is a feeling in Nuoyan's heart that he can answer the inexplicable irritability in his heart during this period of time...During this period of time, Nuoyan always feels as if he has overlooked something.

It's just that he thought about it for a long time and didn't remember it.

"...the great god-king Zeus took me and gave me a wedding."

Peleus said, glanced aside at Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who appeared to witness the duel, and continued: "And from the first moment I saw the sea goddess, I found that I fell in love with her. "

"So I was so happy and felt so happy until I discovered that she seemed to already have someone else in her heart, and that person was not me."

When Peleus gave such an answer, the one who was most surprised was not the promise, but Meleager, the Calydon prince on the Argo.

Almost subconsciously, he turned his gaze to Atalanta.

But Atalanta's holy blue eyes were focused on Nuoyan from beginning to end.

"So I came back."

Peleus said very seriously, and said to Nuoyan very seriously: "I can't turn a blind eye to what I know, but I can't just let it go, so please do your best to fight with me, Nuoyan."

"...That's right."

Nuoyan said, he looked at Peleus, his eyes calm and enlightened, because he finally remembered what he had forgotten.

"Feel sorry."

Therefore, Nuoyan cast an apologetic look at Peleus and said: "I will win this duel, because I had already decided when she took me to the Olympus realm that day. , I want to rewrite her original destiny."

When Promise said this, Meleager, the prince of Calydon, and Actaeon, the great deer, looked towards him, and besides them Orpheus and his wife the nymph Eury. Dick them.

When they heard the promise, they all couldn't help but laugh while looking at each other.

And at this moment, they already knew the result in their hearts.

The conclusion of this duel.

I saw Pegasus, the Pegasus, falling from the sky. It spread its holy wings and came to Nuoyan. He sat on the Pegasus and grabbed the white reins.

Then under everyone's gaze, the Pegasus flew up to the blue sky with its promise. Peleus held the spear in his hand tightly and watched it go away quietly.

And watched it turn into a shooting star and fall towards me...

"I lost."

Peleus was lying on the water. There was no anger on his face, but a cheerful smile.

"Do you need me to do anything, promise."

Nuoyan looked at his friend who dropped the weapon in his hand when the Pegasus fell. He thought for a long time and then took out a golden apple from his hand.

"Please engrave on it, 'Dedicated to the most beautiful goddess'."

...

...

A few days later, high in the mountains of Pelion.

This was a grand wedding, and all the gods came here to offer their blessings to the beautiful sea goddess Thetis, and... the hero Peleus!

This wedding was personally organized by Hera, the most noble goddess in charge of marriage, and the god-king Zeus attached great importance to it.

So they invited almost all the gods to participate, including even the three goddesses of fate.

But just like in the myth and legend, Eris, the goddess of discord, was not invited.

However, although there was no invitation, Eris, the goddess of discord, did not take out the golden apple 'given to the most beautiful goddess'.

For a very simple reason, she has no more golden apples.

Because of the promise, and the fact that Athena, together with Hermes and Hercules, stole the golden apple tree, there is now a lack of golden apples among the gods.

But even so, this golden apple still appeared at this banquet.

It's just that the person who quietly placed it at this banquet was not someone else, but one of the most important people at this wedding - Peleus.

And soon, the gods discovered the golden apple.

Then......

"I deserve this golden apple."

Queen Hera looked at it, raised her head and said with great confidence: "I am the most noble goddess among the main gods of Olympus. All gods respect me, so this golden apple should naturally belong to me."

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Athena's eyes as she looked at the golden apple in front of her, and then she couldn't help laughing and said: "But wisdom and kindness are more valuable than power, so I am naturally more qualified than you. it."

"What are you talking about?"

The goddess of beauty Aphrodite frowned and came over, looked at the golden apple 'dedicated to the most beautiful goddess', and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Don't you see, it is dedicated to the most beautiful goddess, and I am the one Goddess of love and beauty.”

The three goddesses refused to give in to each other, and their quarrels made the originally joyful and grand wedding scene become depressing.

"They are so boring."

Seeing this, Moon Goddess Artemis, who was not involved, said from the side: "What's the point of fighting for this?"

When Hermes heard this, he laughed and said to her: "Artemis, are you really not going to grab it? If you don't grab it, you won't be able to grab it later."

"Not interested." Artemis shook her head, indicating that she had no interest at all.

As time went by, the quarrel between the three goddesses not only did not stop, but gradually expanded. In this regard, even the God King Zeus was unwilling to stand up in this terrifying Shura field.

But this was not an option, so Zeus finally set his sights on Hermes.

And Hermes has been waiting for a long time.

He held down the feather hat on his head and stood up with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Dedicated to the most beautiful goddess..."

Hermes came to the golden apple, picked it up, and glanced at everyone present, especially the goddesses who looked at it with longing faces.

He laughed and said: "This is indeed a troublesome question, because in my opinion, every goddess on the scene is qualified to have it."

Hermes' words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the goddess Aphrodite and the queen Hera, but Athena did not have a particularly big reaction.

"So I really don't know which goddess to leave it in, but... I think having a child will definitely be able to make the most fair judgment!"

The moment Hermes said this, Queen Hera and Goddess Aphrodite were stunned. Even Artemis was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes widened as if she thought of something. stood up.

"After all, even the most impartial goddess Themis is convinced by his judgment... I am right, Goddess Themis."

Hermes looked at Themis, the goddess of justice, whose eyes were covered with white cloth.

After hearing this, Themis, who also understood, nodded.

"So, Lord God, should we invite that child here to be the judge of this matter?"

Holding this golden apple 'dedicated to the most beautiful goddess', Hermes winked at the God King Zeus.

At this time, nature also reacted, and God King Zeus couldn't help but laugh when he asked who the child Hermes was talking about.

He looked at Hermes, then at Hera, the Moon Goddess, and Demeter, the Goddess of Agriculture, who were excited after hearing this.

Zeus knew that Hera had 'abandoned' her promise.

So now, everyone is secretly competing to become the child's goddess.

Now, if the child is brought to trial, it will not be as simple as Hera, Aphrodite and Athena competing for the golden apple.

"Of course!" Zeus, who felt instantly happy, naturally agreed to Hermes' request immediately.

Soon, Tianma brought the young man with black hair and emerald eyes.

When he came to this grand banquet and received the golden apple "dedicated to the most beautiful goddess" in the eyes of the gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, had long expected such a situation. Nuoyan's eyes changed.

At this moment, the promise has become the absolute center of this wedding!

"My child, long time no see."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Zeus smiled softly.

"Long time no see, great God King." Nuoyan held the golden apple in his hand and bowed respectfully to Zeus.

"Do you know everything?" Zeus said with a smile to Nuoyan.

"On the way here, Lord Hermes told me everything." Nuoyan replied.

"Then can you make a fair judgment?"

When Nuoyan heard the words, he subconsciously glanced around. Facing those green and aggressive eyes, Nuoyan was already prepared. At this moment, he swallowed hard.

"Well, I'll try my best..."

And at this time.

"Apollo, quickly, lend me your harp!" Hermes came to Apollo's side and said urgently.

"What are you doing?" Apollo glanced at Hermes.

"Of course it's to play a song to cheer up this exciting moment!" Apollo felt that Hermes really didn't have a long memory. He had obviously been hunted by promises, but he could still seek death like this, unlike him. Very honest.

Then Apollo quickly handed the harp to Hermes.

After Hermes got it, he immediately played the sad harp sound, just like Nuoyan's current mood.

So the moment the piano sounded, even Zeus almost couldn't help but burst out laughing, and it took him a long time to control the expression on his face.

Nuoyan, who was so angry that his teeth were itching, turned his head and glared at Hermes fiercely.

"We all believe in you, kid. No matter what decision you make, I think everyone will be convinced by it." Zeus, who was trying to control himself not to laugh out loud, patted Nuoyan's shoulder and encouraged him.

Hearing this, before Promise could reply, Zeus, who could no longer bear it, turned around and left with an unscrupulous smile.

As soon as Zeus left,

"Promise, this golden apple 'dedicated to the most beautiful goddess' must belong to me!"

Queen Hera couldn't wait to come over and said: "I remember you said many times that the most beautiful goddess in your heart is me!"

Athena looked at Nuoyan with a smile and said: "Little Nuoyan, you must give the smartest answer. Don't be blinded by power."

Moon Goddess Artemis pushed away Beauty Goddess Aphrodite, ran over and said loudly: "I, I, I, I promise that as long as you give me this golden apple, I will give Atalanta to you!"

"Isn't Atalanta your follower?"

Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, came over. She smiled and said to Nuoyan, "As for this golden apple, Xiaonuoyan will definitely give it to me. After all, I am my sister."

"Compared to you, shouldn't it be given to me?" Demeter said.

"No, mother, why are you here to join in the fun!"

In an instant, the scene became extremely noisy.

So the mournful sound of the piano in Hermes' hands turned into an extremely joyful one.

"Hey, don't rob, don't rob, and don't embarrass Xiao Nuoyan."

The eldest sister, Hestia, walked over with a smile and said: "If you ask me, Little Promise will definitely give it to Goddess Clotho. After all, in his heart, little Goddess Clotho has always been the most important thing. So cute.”

"Yes, yes, it must be my Clotho who is qualified to get the promised golden apple!" Laxis, the second sister of the Goddess of Destiny, agreed and pushed Clotho towards Promise.

"Um......"

Themis, the goddess of justice, who was covered in white cloth, suddenly said softly at this moment: "Actually, I think I should be qualified to get the promised golden apple."

When Themis said this, the scene fell into a brief silence.

Many gods, even Zeus, looked at the goddess of justice who said these words in disbelief.

So this time, even Apollo, the god of light, couldn't help it.

He brought out music to accompany Hermes, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to its hottest!

"...What exactly are you planning to do?"
