But no matter how hard he tried, Pegasus never looked at him.
Finally, a flash of lightning made the river god completely give up that idea.
"So..."
Nuoyan picked up the painting he had just drawn thoughtfully and asked the Pegasus in front of him: "You want it, right?"
Pegasus nodded.
Nuoyan smiled. He knew why Athena's oracle only asked him to find the river god Asopus...Thinking carefully, Athena seemed to have always been like this, and the oracles she gave never made it clear.
It seems that while being a [pleasure monster], he is also a standard [riddler].
Pegasus, the Pegasus, was born on the invisible island where there was nothing because the legendary hero Perseus cut off the head of Gorgon.
Later, it became the guardian and symbol of the ancient Greek Muse.
Therefore, in art, it seems that Nuoyan, who has been passionately kissed by the goddess of art, is naturally qualified to make it stop and look at it.
"So now, is everything finally going to officially begin?"
On the cliff, the goddess with waist-length silver hair looked at the scenery in the distance with a smile...This time, the goddess of justice Themis was not here with her.
Since the night of the hunting sacrifice that day, Themis had actually left.
Because she had "seen" Nuoyan's choice, she knew that she only needed to wait, wait... Nuoyan came to her again.
But although Themis left, another goddess came at this time...Clotho, the goddess of fate, holding the crystal ball and stepping lightly on the ground with bare feet, finally left the ancient temple of fate.
At this time, she came to the side of the waist-length silver-haired goddess.
"There is no way he can withstand the power of Pegasus.
When it runs at full speed in the sea of stars, even if the child will not be thrown off and fall from the sky, the power will definitely crush him... Dear Goddess Athena, please stop. There is still a chance to stop it from happening!"
Athena still smiled when she heard it. She pointed to Artemis in the distance as if she didn't hear it. She said to Clotho in a happy tone: "Hey, Clotho, look, Artemis finally found out that the painting was actually drawn by Nuoyan for me!
She is the third one to know, um... What kind of oracle do you think I should give to Nuoyan next time so that Artemis can get the painting and give him a gift?"
Athena tilted her head and thought seriously.
"Oh, yes, Hera must not be found out, otherwise I... no, that child will be in trouble."
"... Goddess Athena."
The goddess of fate Clotho was silent for a while, then slowly lowered her head. Although her voice was tender, she said to Athena very firmly at this time: "If you don't intend to stop, I... will tell everything to the honorable Queen Hera!"
After hearing this, Athena finally turned her head at this time, put her beautiful golden eyes on Clotho, and stared at her quietly.
Athena didn't say anything, nor did she do anything, but just such a gaze still made Clotho tremble all over...
After a while,
"Clotho..."
Athena finally spoke. She didn't show anger or anger at Clotho's words, but just pointed to the crystal ball in Clotho's arms, which contained the promise of fate.
Then he gently said a fact, saying: "But, it's not me who has been hurting the child, but... you."
Chapter 43 Silver meteors fall from the stars! (7.5k)
"Nuoyan!"
Just as Nuoyan walked towards Pegasus, Atalanta suddenly called him.
Nuoyan tilted his head and looked at the beautiful hunter lady in emerald green clothes with clear eyes.
She was standing next to Artemis, the moon goddess.
Artemis, as a goddess, her beauty naturally needs no further explanation. She is the most beloved daughter of Zeus, the king of gods, and one of the most worshipped gods by the ancient Greeks.
But even so, in Nuoyan's eyes, Atalanta is not much inferior to Artemis...Well, it may also be because of the fear of strangling her neck, which secretly made Nuoyan's impression of Artemis drop a lot.
"What's wrong?" Nuoyan asked Atalanta with a slightly tilted head.
Atalanta opened her mouth but said nothing.
They came here because of the oracle of the goddess of wisdom, asking them to come here to find the river god Asopus and catch the silver meteor running in the sky.
Only in this way, can Nuoyan, who is a god and hero who can't help shaking his head, be able to complete the hunting of Calydon... In fact, Athena's arrangement is also to give Nuoyan more capital to walk in this ancient Greek age of gods.
After all, the oath is to make Nuoyan a dazzling star in this era.
But can people really catch it... let alone Nuoyan.
In the painting, Atalanta, who witnessed and felt it with her own eyes, naturally had the answer in her heart.
He, absolutely can't do it!
"You said that you actually met the great goddess of fate again later... What did she say in the end?" After a long silence, Atalanta asked this question that surprised Nuoyan a little.
Nuoyan didn't expect that he had only mentioned it in front of the river god Asopus, but Atalanta actually remembered it.
So Nuoyan looked at Artemis, and then at the river god Asopus.
In front of the gods, he couldn't lie.
Therefore...
"The goddess of fate told me that when I soar with it in the vast starry sky, I... will fall from a meteor!"
When Nuoyan told this prophecy truthfully, not to mention Atalanta and the others, even Pegasus, the Pegasus, cast a humane surprise at Nuoyan.
"Did the goddess of fate really say that?" At this time, the river god Asopus couldn't help asking.
"Well."
"Then... Even so, do you still want to try?" Seeing that Nuoyan answered so calmly, Atalanta actually knew his answer.
Hearing this, Nuoyan smiled, nodded, and replied: "Because I promised the goddess of fate, and... Meleager and Actaeon are still waiting for me."
"Well... So, little Nuoyan is really cute." Artemis on the side smiled and said happily: "Then go ahead, I will always watch you here!"
"Goddess Artemis!" Atalanta looked at her in disbelief and said: "Aren't you going to stop him?"
"Stop? Eh, why stop?" Artemis tilted her head to Atalanta with a puzzled look.
"But if so, he will die!" Atalanta said in a panic.
"Eh..." Artemis blinked and looked at Atalanta with a surprised expression, saying, "So you care so much about this child, little Atalanta?"
"I see, you like him, you must like him!"
"Goddess Artemis, what are you talking about!" Atalanta opened her eyes wide and quickly retorted, "How could I like such a weak guy who can't even hunt and can't run away from me!
Besides, I have dedicated everything to you, goddess Artemis, and I will never like anyone else in my life!"
"Well, little Atalanta, this is what makes you unlovable!" Faced with Atalanta's absolute loyalty, Artemis didn't feel happy at all, and even puffed up her mouth and said, "I didn't ask you to make such a vow, you insisted on doing that.
That's why I don't want to see you again, you are really boring."
"......Huh?" The fact that was too shocking made Atalanta stunned for a while, staring blankly at the goddess in front of her.
Nuoyan, who was standing aside, was not surprised at all. After all, in a sense, Artemis, the moon goddess, was the goddess he knew best.
"But that was in the past. Little Atalanta has become more and more adorable recently." Artemis, who stood on tiptoe, smiled and touched Atalanta's head, saying, "Since meeting little Nuoyan, she has become adorable."
Atalanta stood there stupidly, looking at Artemis in front of her. At this moment, she didn't even know how to react.
At this moment, the river god Asopus came to Nuoyan with a cane.
He looked at Nuoyan. Because he was a god, he could naturally see more. For example, even if he predicted that he would die, he still had no hesitation in his determination.
And this was the reason why Artemis said those words. For a god like her, witnessing what Nuoyan did was actually the highest praise and recognition.
"Are you going to catch him?"
But even so, the river god Asopus still asked Nuoyan.
"Yeah." Nuoyan nodded.
The river god Asopus was silent for a while, and then said to Nuoyan: "In fact, I should stop you, because if you die, my daughter will be very sad."
When he saw Nuoyan, saw his daughter's blessing left on Nuoyan, and saw the painting Nuoyan gave him, the river god Asopus not only knew that his daughter fell in love with Nuoyan, but also knew that Nuoyan saved her.
"But I saw your determination, and... that was actually my dream." As he said, the river god Asopus tapped the ground with his cane.
The river water in the distance surged and sent a silver-white rein to Nuoyan's hands.
That was the artifact he had created when he had spent decades collecting precious materials when he looked at the silver-white meteor from afar, and finally asked the craftsman god Hephaestus to help.
"Go, child." The river god Asopus said, "Go grab it!"
Nuoyan took the silver-white reins and took another look at Atalanta.
Then he walked towards Pegasus.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Pegasus did not reply...it had no way to reply. It folded its wings, squatted down, and let Nuoyan put the silver-white reins on itself.
For Nuoyan, it was willing to give him such a chance.
Atalanta looked at all this, her eyes still a little confused.
Since Atalanta clearly felt the power of Pegasus in the painting, she was almost certain that Nuoyan would definitely fall from the silver meteor tonight, just as the goddess of fate predicted.
But at this moment, Atalanta remembered some things, such as the reason why she paid attention to Nuoyan... It was a group of thieves who made a vow to the gods in a funny way, and the content of the vow was a boy who wanted to be a hero.
Then she thought of that night, the monster that turned into a giant deer, and the things that happened that night... At this moment, Atalanta suddenly understood something.
For example, why did Actaeon, who had turned into a giant deer that night, come to Nuoyan regardless of everything? For example, he was so weak, but so many gods still cast their eyes on him...
"Nuoyan."
Finally, she spoke again, and the boy in front of her was reflected in her holy blue eyes.
"Your friends are waiting for you. They are waiting for you to go back."
Nuoyan was slightly stunned, looking at the beautiful hunter lady in front of him, then smiled and nodded to her, turned around and sat on the Pegasus.
Pegasus slowly stood up, stretched out its silver-white wings, stepped into the air with a light sound, and flew towards the stars in the night sky!
Nuoyan held the silver-white reins tightly in his hand, feeling the refreshing night wind blowing on his body. At this moment, he finally sat on the silver-white meteor and headed for the starry sky in the night sky.
Atalanta, Artemis and others watched this scene, and at the same time, on the cliff, the goddess of wisdom with silver hair and golden eyes also reflected this scene in her eyes.
Although Clotho, the goddess of fate, could not see it, she also knew that Nuoyan had sat on the silver meteor.
The atmosphere between the two was a little quiet. Since Athena quietly told the fact, Clotho, the goddess of fate, has not spoken again.
Until now,
"It really fits."
Looking at the young man sitting on the handsome and elegant Pegasus, Athena laughed again and said, "Because of Themis, I can't meet the craftsman god Hephaestus in a short time, so when I was looking for something suitable for him on the mainland, I fell in love with it at first sight... It's a pity that you can't see it, Clotho."
Pegasus, the Pegasus, is a symbol of art and the guardian of the Muses.
Although Nuoyan doesn't look like a warrior or a hero at all, his natural temperament as a poet and painter, coupled with his clear emerald eyes, makes him more eye-catching in this era.
When Jason went down the mountain, he said that if Nuoyan was willing and didn't plan to be a hero, he could just play a harp and paint two pictures in front of the lady, and he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
In fact, among all the students under Chiron, there is only one person who can slightly suppress Nuoyan, and that is Tithonus.
Tithonus, he was Chiron's student and a well-known beautiful boy. When she saw him for the first time, the dawn goddess Eos in ancient Greek mythology fell in love with him regardless of everything.
But he was a mortal and the dawn goddess Eos was immortal as a goddess, so the dawn goddess Eos repeatedly begged Zeus to let Tithonus never die, and Zeus agreed to the dawn goddess Eos after seeing Tithonus.
However, because the dawn goddess Eos only begged for immortality, but forgot about aging, she could only watch the strong young man she loved slowly grow old, withering day by day, and finally turned into a cricket.
Even the ability to speak has disappeared, and only the chirping of crickets continues to accompany her.
"Athena..."
Finally, Clotho, who had been silent until now, spoke up. She lowered her head and asked softly: "Even if Nuoyan died like this, you don't care?"
"Don't you know the oath I made with him?" Athena asked back with a chuckle.
"Is this the ending you prepared for him?"
"Of course not." Athena shook her head decisively and said, "After all, the tribute he offered to me is something that all gods are amazed by, so as a gift, I will naturally prepare an ending that will shock the whole world and the gods!"
After hearing this, Clotho's expression did not change much, after all, the goddess of wisdom Athena is just like this.
