After hesitating for a while, Atalanta put down the arrow in her hand, and then she remembered that Meleager and others who came to participate in the hunting sacrifice together, so she turned around and looked behind her.
But she was puzzled to find that at this moment, not only could she not see the torches they lit, but she could not even hear their noisy noises.
It was as if this place was isolated.
Seeing Atalanta put down the bow and arrow, Nuoyan did not breathe a sigh of relief, because he immediately found that Artemis at this moment had changed greatly from the gentle goddess just now.
Now that look, it was as if she had caught a cheating man, and she would take out the bow and arrow to shoot the person in front of her in the next second.
Facing that cold gaze, even if it was not aimed at him, Nuoyan couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Because to be honest, Nuoyan has always been a little afraid of Artemis, the moon goddess. It's not that he is afraid of dying in her hands, but that he is afraid of being remembered by her.
That is much more terrifying than death!
A virgin goddess is already troublesome, and adding another one is too much!
But whether it is the choice of Clotho, the goddess of fate, or for Meleager and Actaeon, Nuoyan had to bite the bullet and stand in front of her.
So after taking a deep breath, Nuoyan said to Artemis: "Beautiful goddess Artemis, may I ask this hunting sacrifice... am I the winner?"
Atalanta, who was wondering why those people suddenly disappeared, couldn't help but look back at Nuoyan when she heard this, and frowned and said: "What are you talking about..."
"Yeah." Artemis nodded lightly, and was quite happy, and replied: "You won."
Although he did make a bet with Athena, after all, he didn't bet on anything, and no matter the reaction of Qin and the golden horned deer just now, Artemis now has a very high favorability for Nuoyan.
Therefore, Artemis, who didn't care about who won or lost, naturally didn't mind giving the fruits of victory to Nuoyan.
But Atalanta on the side naturally refused to do so.
So even though the person in front of her was Artemis whom she admired the most, Atalanta couldn't help but refute anxiously: "Wait a minute, Goddess Artemis, this, this... Nuoyan didn't hunt at all!"
"No, this child has hunted, and the hunt was successful." After looking at Atalanta, Artemis's eyes softened again and said, "And didn't you just witness it with my own eyes?"
"Hunting?" Atalanta recalled the scene just now, and said with wide eyes dully: "Just now... that was called hunting?!"
"That's right." Maybe she saw her reaction just now from Atalanta, so Artemis couldn't help laughing again and said: "How about it, it's a very interesting hunt!"
Atalanta stopped talking.
She just felt that her cognition was refreshed at this moment.
But Atalanta recalled the scene just now, the monster came to Nuoyan and sat down, closed his eyes and listened to the piano, and at the same time seemed to be waiting for death.
She found that she couldn't refute it for a while.
But doesn't this mean that I lost and the hunt failed?
And the most important thing is that the hunt failed in front of the goddess Artemis? !
Atalanta, who noticed this, was the most devout believer of Artemis. At this moment, she was so ashamed that she wanted to commit suicide.
So after coming to her senses, she glared at Nuoyan fiercely.
If Artemis hadn't been here, Atalanta, who felt greatly humiliated, would have pounced on Nuoyan.
Nuoyan, who got the answer from Artemis, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief again and asked Artemis: "In this case, it means that I can pray for a gift from the noble and beautiful goddess Artemis, right?"
"Of course." Artemis nodded and said: "After all, this is what I promised, so the gift you want is..."
As she was talking, Artemis suddenly paused.
And tilted her head slightly, pretending to listen.
While listening, she looked at Nuoyan and moved her lips slightly, as if she was talking to someone.
After a while, Artemis, who had finished the conversation, laughed again when Nuoyan gradually felt something was wrong.
She looked amused, turned her head to look at Nuoyan, blinked and said, "You participated in the hunting sacrifice for this reason, it seems very interesting!
In this case, I can promise you that although I hate him, because you are cute and the hunting tonight is very exciting, I can choose to forgive the sinner behind you.
However...
I only promise to give one gift for this hunting!"
At this point, Artemis even clapped her hands happily, and then continued to say to Nuoyan: "So between Actaeon and Meleager, my lovely child, you can only choose one!"
Nuoyan understood the moment he heard it.
The person who just talked to Artemis must be the goddess of wisdom Athena.
After all, such a multiple-choice question can only be said to have too much Athena flavor!
Chapter 36: Nuoyan completes his own "revenge"
After the hunting sacrifice, the moon goddess Artemis will give a gift.
But, only this one.
So is it Actaeon, who turned into a monster due to the curse, or Meleager, who is burdened with the fate of saving his kingdom?
There is no doubt that fate has once again befallen the promise.
So everyone turned their attention to him. Even the goddess of fate pricked up her ears curiously.
"In that case, please ask the great goddess Artemis to give us a brand new hunting sacrifice."
What surprised everyone was that when faced with this fateful choice, Nuoyan did not hesitate for too long and gave an answer, saying: "Please grant us the honor of killing the Calydon boar!"
"...Aren't you participating in this hunt to save him?" Probably because Promise answered so cheerfully, Moon Goddess Artemis couldn't help but point at Artemis after being stunned for a while. Cetheon asked.
Hearing this, Actaeon couldn't help but froze for a moment, and looked at Nuoyan with disbelief on his face.
"Yes." Nuoyan nodded and admitted to Artemis: "This is indeed my purpose. After all, this is also the choice I made in front of the goddess of fate."
Atalanta, who had a clear view of the situation in front of her, couldn't help but tilt her head, her face was full of confusion, because she found that she didn't understand it at all.
After all, Atalanta still doesn't know what happened.
Artemis, who happened to see her reaction, couldn't help but burst into laughter. She stretched out her hand and rubbed Atalanta's face before she could react, and said with a smile: "Hehe, little one." Atta, your expression is so cute now.”
"Ah, Goddess Artemis?!" Atalanta opened her eyes wide at first, her whole body stiffened and did not dare to move, and then her face showed deep happiness and satisfaction.
And at this moment,
"The goddess of fate sent down an oracle. She told a weak young man named Actaeon and Meleager the destined future."
A soft voice sounded, and the goddess who had been watching silently at this moment finally came to the stage again.
She emerged from the moonlight, her long silver hair spread out, and under the light of the full moon, it was as dazzling as the Milky Way.
"Artemis, the moon god, cursed Actaeon for hunting his golden-antlered deer, and he turned into a monster and died at the hands of his unsuspecting friend Meleager.
Meleager will use this to come to the moon god Artemis and pray to her for blessings and salvation for his country. "
Athena's golden eyes looked helplessly at Artemis, who was currently masturbating her. She actually didn't want to appear now, but she found that Artemis was really not suitable for this. .
Because Athena clearly told Artemis the steps, but Artemis still made everything a mess.
"But the future that finally greets Meleager is not a happy one. The fire will burn everything about him, and he will die in the hands of the mother he loves!"
"So, the weak young man knew all this, and at the same time, he was actually a friend of Actaeon and Meleager. They had spent a period together under the guidance of the centaur sage Chiron. An unforgettable time.”
"So on that day, in front of the goddess of fate, the choice he made to that goddess was that even if the future was destined, he... would still change everything!"
At this moment, Actaeon and Atalanta's eyes couldn't help but naturally focus on Athena, who was walking slowly.
They listened to the story and watched her smile softly and walk towards the promise.
"Because he doesn't want to watch his friends kill each other, and he doesn't want to watch his friends die tragically like that..."
Athena came to Nuoyan, smiled, and reached out to touch Nuoyan's head.
"Even though he was obviously so weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, he finally completed the almost impossible hunt, and at this moment... finally stood in front of the goddess!"
Athena's golden eyes stared at the promise that was looking at her quietly at this moment.
"But there was only one gift promised by the goddess, and the boy finally made a choice, begging the goddess to turn her sights to Calydon and send new blessings to the place she had abandoned.
But...what will happen to the cursed man Actaeon? "
"Have you given up on him?" Athena asked with a smile.
"Of course not." Nuoyan shook his head, "Because I have made a promise to the goddess of fate, and I will let her see a better future."
"Then, what are you going to do?" Athena continued to ask, and took away the hand touching the promise, and stepped aside at this time.
So Nuoyan looked at Artemis, took a deep breath, stepped forward to her, and said to Artemis: "Beautiful goddess Artemis, I know that my friend Act Weng has done something you cannot forgive, and he deserves everything he has done so far, so I will not defend him in this matter.
But I think he realizes all that now and regrets it. "
When he said these words of promise, Actaeon, who was still in shock and looked at the promise stupidly, suddenly felt that his throat was very itchy.
He couldn't help coughing twice, and the next moment he was surprised to find that he could actually speak!
Actaeon was not a stupid person. After a brief daze, he immediately looked at Athena aside, then quickly stood up, came to Nuoyan's side, lowered his head, and said in repentance to Artemis. : "Yes, beautiful and kind-hearted Goddess Artemis, I regret my reckless behavior all the time.
Even now, knowing that I have caused such a big trouble to Nuoyan, I am so ashamed that I even feel that I have no face to live in this world anymore..."
Actaeon was really ashamed, so Actaeon even had the idea of dying here again.
"What are you talking about? Actaeon, I have made a promise to the goddess of fate. Neither you nor Meleager will die. I said so!"
But before he finished speaking, he was angrily interrupted by Nuo Yan.
Nuoyan turned to look at Artemis again and said: "Beautiful goddess Artemis, although I have made a choice, just like my answer to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, I don't want to see me My friend died in front of me like this.
The reason why I chose Meleager is actually because I understand one thing, that is, I need to bear the responsibility for the wrong things I have done, so I hope that the goddess Artemis can give him a chance to atone for his sins.
Also...remember what I said at the beginning? "
Nuo Yan once again dug out the small notebook from his body.
He looked at Atalanta, Artemis, and Athena beside him, and finally looked at Actaeon and said with a smile: "I'm here to seek revenge!
Actaeon, I haven't exacted revenge on you yet, so how can I agree to let you die like this?
So beautiful goddess Artemis, please give me the opportunity to take revenge on Actaeon! "
"How do you want revenge?" Artemis looked at Nuoyan with interest after hearing this.
"Under the watchful eye of the great Queen, Jason and I will go on an adventure to find the Golden Fleece." Nuoyan replied: "It is an unknown adventure full of countless dangers, but at the same time, there is no Doubts are also a great adventure!”
"The reason why I came here is to find the crew, so Actaeon's power is a must for me.
As for the punishment..."
With that said, Nuoyan looked at Actaeon's current appearance and couldn't help but smile: "I think he looks pretty good now!
So that’s it, Goddess Artemis, let him accompany me on adventures like this!
At the same time, I will tell the world that he is your messenger from the goddess Artemis. You love the world so much, so let him come to us and let him help us complete that magnificent adventure.
And in the end, when we return full of glory, kind goddess Artemis, please return his name to him at that time, and let the man named Actaeon return to the world again! "
When Nuoyan finished speaking, even Atalanta on the side had completely understood Nuoyan's thoughts.
So she looked at the goddess she loved and said, "Goddess Artemis, I think this is... inappropriate!"
After saying that, Atalanta came to Nuoyan's side in a few steps, pointed at Actaeon, and said to Artemis who tilted her head: "Because I can't judge whether he can complete that great mission and finally bring glory to him. So, Goddess Artemis, please allow me to go with him. I will always supervise him and restrain him during the adventure.
And finally bring that glory back to you, the goddess Artemis! "
Nuoyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Atalanta gratefully.
Seeing this, Atalanta turned her head away with an arrogant look, not looking at him.
After all, she has not forgotten that tonight, in front of the goddess Artemis, the hunting priest's promise defeated her, thus humiliating her in front of her most beloved goddess!
But even so, after knowing everything from the mouth of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Atalanta still chose to stand by the promise.
At this moment, Artemis suddenly found her clothes being gently pulled. She lowered her head in confusion and found that a golden-antlered deer was biting her clothes.
After discovering that Artemis was looking at him, the golden-horned deer walked towards Actaeon. Although he hesitated for a while on the way, it finally came to Actaeon's side and stuck out his tongue. He licked Actaeon's dull cheek.
So at this moment, the eyes of Moon Goddess Artemis looking at Actaeon finally became softer.
"Then are you willing to agree?" Artemis asked Actaeon.
Actaeon raised his head and looked at her with disbelief, then glanced at Nuoyan, and finally lowered his head again, with red eyes and said: "Of course! Kind goddess Artemis, I will Return full of glory for you!”
"Okay." Then Artemis looked at Nuoyan with a smile and said, "Then I promise you, little Nuoyan, to let you complete your lovely revenge!"
