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

And Eden, who also knew about the oath through Nier, could not help but glance at her sitting next to him subconsciously.

In fact, when Shikoti first sought the golden apple from the goddess of youth Eden, she did not hide the fact that she wanted to give it to a child.

Eden naturally asked curiously why Nuoyan could enjoy such a gift.

Shikoti's answer was also very simple. She said Nuoyan was very special, and she also said bluntly that he would be the most special person in the world.

After all, under the eyes that peeked into fate, Nuoyan's past was naturally no secret to Shikoti.

Therefore, although she did not make the crystal ball of fate for Nuoyan like the Greek goddess of fate Clotho, and held it in her palm.

But she also engraved Nuoyan's fate on the world tree.

And covered it with mysterious runes.

Later, when Nuoyan actually took the golden apple from the golden apple tree, Eden's surprise and curiosity about Nuoyan naturally reached a peak, so she gave Nelle a small gift and focused her attention on Nuoyan.

"Thank you, child."

After coming back to her senses, Eden, who had never asked about the agreement between Nuoyan and Sigurd, and 'humiliated' the agreement of the goddess of fate, put her hand on her chest, smiled gently, and thanked Nuoyan from the bottom of her heart.

"No need to thank me."

Nuoyan shook his head, smiled, and explained the reason, saying: "After all, if it weren't for the fact that Goddess Eden picked a golden apple for me every Monday for the past three years and asked Nelle to deliver it to me, I think I might have been blown to the underworld by a gust of wind."

"So, it's my honor."

Nuoyan expressed his gratitude to the goddess in front of him, and Eden, who was a goddess and could naturally identify lies, obviously felt Nuoyan's sincerity from it.

Only the bird Nier, who had landed on her own goddess of fate, quietly curled her lips at this moment.

After all, it was she who rushed back to the Golden Apple Holy Court every weekend with the golden apple in her mouth, and rushed back to give it to Nuoyan the next morning.

Nuoyan never thanked her!

Just when Eden understood why Nuoyan agreed so easily and was moved.

"When you offer the pleasing tribute to the goddess of harvest, you can find a gift from her."

The goddess of fate, Shikoti, who had never spoken, spoke.

The clear and calm voice as always, when she looked up and quietly looked into Nuoyan's emerald eyes, slowly said to Nuoyan: "She once got a newly grown trunk of the world tree at the highest point of the world tree. It was a very precious treasure.

I think it is qualified to become the new brush in your hand."

In Norse mythology, the most precious treasure that seems to be everywhere but is precious is undoubtedly the world tree that holds the nine realms on its body.

Gungnir, the eternal spear in the hands of the God King Odin, was made of the body of the World Tree.

According to legend, when the God King Odin hung himself upside down on the tree for seven days and seven nights, he obtained all the mysterious runes, and drank the fountain of wisdom at the cost of one eye, he also obtained the eternal spear.

From that moment on, Odin became the king of the Norse gods.

"Paintbrush?"

Hearing what Shikoti said, Eden couldn't help but blinked in confusion.

Even the bird Nier beside her tilted her head.

She naturally still remembered what Nuoyan said to the goddess Shikoti.

Nuoyan said that he wanted to draw a wolf, a snake, and a tree.

Although Nier had always known about it, she had never cared about it.

Because Nuoyan has never really shown his paintings so far, no one knows what Nuoyan's paintings are except for the goddess of fate, Shikoti, and the god king Odin who secretly observed and created the current "script".

Even if they don't know, it is enough to surprise the little bird Nier and the goddess of youth Eden at this moment.

After all, what kind of brush is it? It needs to be made with the most precious branches of the world tree.

Shikoti didn't care about the reaction of the bird and the goddess. In Nuoyan's slightly surprised eyes, Shikoti continued: "The branches of the world tree of Sif are enough to be your brush, and the canvas can be found in the branches of the world tree."

Is it like this... Oh, this is the Nordic God Age, the nine worlds born from the world tree, then it's okay.

Nuoyan nodded gently, indicating that he understood.

In this way, the trial is complete.

Give the goddess Sif, who lost her hair because of Loki's prank, a new golden hair, so that she will no longer be sad, and get the gift, harvest the new branches taken from the highest point of the world tree.

Thus, forge the brush of this world.

When the road was pointed out, both the little bird Nell and the goddess of youth Eden found that the promise in front of them seemed a little different.

It was a feeling that could not be expressed in words.

And now, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but the childishness on his face still couldn't cover up the radiance, and his emerald eyes were like stars in the night.

"...... Such a cute child, Shikoti, where did you find him?"

Saying so, Eden couldn't help but cast a little envious look at Shikoti.

Because of Nuoyan's closeness to Shikodi, Eden actually had a misunderstanding and mistook Nuoyan for Shikodi's favored believer.

After all, he said things that humiliated the goddess of fate, Shikodi wasn't even angry, and looked like it was normal...

Even the little bird Nier thinks so.

As Shikodi's envoy, she naturally smelled the aura of destiny in Nuoyan from the beginning.

Not to mention that this mysterious and indifferent goddess of hers only showed obvious care about her promise.

"It wasn't me, Brynhildr picked it up." Shikodi replied calmly.

"...Brünnhilde?" Hearing this strange yet familiar name, Eden blinked several times at Shikodi in surprise.

But regarding this, Shikodi had no intention of continuing to explain.

The other normal and beautiful eye was all focused on Nuoyan at this moment.

His eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Is it finally starting...?

Shikodi thought like this in her heart.

She looks forward to everything that the promise will reveal, and that's why she cares so much about it.

She longs to see and witness those futures that even she, the goddess of fate, cannot see!

Apparently aware of Shikodi's gaze, the promise he had been thinking about raised his head at this moment.

As the two looked at each other, they seemed to sense the expectation of the goddess of fate. Nuoyan smiled and nodded gently to her.

"Have you already thought about it?"

Seeing this, Shikoti naturally asked.

"Well, I've already thought about it... Actually, this trial is not difficult."

Yes, it's not difficult, and there's no danger at all.

After all, it was just to forge a brand new blond hair for the goddess who lost her hair.

"But if I want to get the branches of the World Tree from the goddess Sif, then I think... it will probably be no less than any trial I have experienced so far. "Okay." Nuoyan said, but still had a slight smile on his face.

At this moment, Shikodi, who heard this, showed a reaction that made the little bird Nier open her eyes wide, as if she had seen a miracle, and the goddess of youth also blinked in surprise.

She laughed.

Because Shikodi naturally understood what the promise meant.

And the promise was obviously not exaggerated.

It was said at the beginning, when Little Bird Nier told Nuoyan about Loki's prank of cutting off Sif's hair a few days ago, with an emotion that was similar to watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, but also despising Loki.

At that time, Nuoyan recalled this legend recorded in Nordic mythology.

In order to calm down Thor's anger and avoid being chased and beaten all the time.

Loki went to the country of dwarves, found a powerful dwarf, and gave Sif a pair of magical blond hair that could grow naturally.

And the blond hair is still made of an extremely rare gold wire.

It is a precious treasure recognized even by the gods.

Therefore, the focus of Nuoyan's trial this time is not to forge the long hair dedicated to the goddess Sif, but to forge the branches of the world tree and the paintbrush of this world.

What the promise requires is a sacrifice that, in a sense, is rarer than the treasure recognized by the gods.

Only in this way can the promise be blessed by the goddess Sif.

In other words, the person he needs to defeat in this matter is the mischievous god.

Loki, the god of trickery in Norse mythology!

And this is why Shikodi, the goddess of fate, smiles.

She felt the future from the seemingly plain words of the promise.

That is not what she is focusing on, a future other than destiny!

And this is also the promise of Shikodi and the audience has always been looking forward to it.

"I'm asking once, have you already thought about it?" So Shikodi asked Nuoyan again, and this time, her smile disappeared and her expression became suspicious.

You know, this is the expectation of a goddess,

Moreover, she is not the lovely goddess of fate who always follows Nuoyan.

Shikodi was looking forward to it and had been waiting patiently until this moment.

Ever since she saw the World Tree burning and that figure, Shikodi had been waiting for the promise for more than ten years.

So she didn't want to be disappointed.

There is no guarantee that if her promise disappoints her, then she... will send down angry divine punishment!

"Um."

And Nuoyan's answer was still gentle and steady.

He looked at Shikodi, the goddess of fate, and smiled, saying: "I will offer tribute to that goddess, and with this, I will begin my journey in this world.

It's just...two goddesses, I still need some help on this matter. "

Eden looked at Nuoyan, and then looked at Shikodi who had put away his smile.

Although she noticed that the atmosphere at the moment seemed a little strange.

But I can't figure out where the problem lies.

So, he just looked at Nuoyan again and waited for his next words.

"As you can see, when the wind blows, I seem to be weak and can fall... I even competed with a beautiful girl in strength, but was easily defeated by her. Until now, I still remember them all..."

Promise spread out,

Faced with this matter, the current promise has chosen to wait until it is revealed.

Anyway, he has completely understood that there is no point in struggling on this matter.

Since it is meaningless, just stop struggling.

The two goddesses and the little bird quickly understood what Nuoyan said.

They looked at him, who looked so young and would fall down if the wind blew.

At this moment, Nier and the goddess of youth Eden suddenly came to their senses and realized how fragile Nuoyan was in front of them, but just now, they almost completely ignored this point.

After coming to their senses,

Nier couldn't help laughing in front of the two goddesses.

But while laughing, Nier was a little confused.

Because she couldn't remember when Nuoyan had seen a girl.

Obviously, there was only Sigurd beside him, and the other person was the dwarf Mime.
