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

"Thank you, Goddess Persephone." Looking at the goddess in front of him who did not blame him, Nuoyan sincerely expressed his gratitude to Persephone.

He had just handed Persephone's hope into her mother's hands.

Persephone heard this and shook her head with a smile, indicating that she was fine.

So Nuoyan looked at Demeter, her emerald eyes reflecting the goddess in front of her, and said: "Goddess Demeter, what kind of trial is that?"

Demeter looked into the boy's clear and bright eyes, with a look of struggle on her face, and finally said to Nuoyan in a slightly ashamed tone: "I'm sorry, kid, although I also want to see you change your destiny and fulfill your destiny." An agreement with one's friends.

But for my daughter, the test I give you is destined to be an absolutely impossible trial! "

After saying that, Demeter took a deep breath and revealed the trial she had thought about at this moment, saying: "And that trial is that you must go step by step without the help of any gods. To the presence of Hades, Lord of Hades.

And during this period, just as my daughter disappeared from the world, all the seeds in the world will remain silent in the soil.

On that road, you will lose your hearing and vision and fall into endless darkness! "

Demeter would think of such a trial, obviously because of the promise to her friend.

Orpheus wanted to take his wife away from the underworld, thus walking a path of no return, but in the end he failed and was depressed ever since.

In order to change all this, Nuoyan will go to the underworld to see Hades.

And when Demeter finished speaking, the promise had not yet been answered.

"What are you talking about, mother, do you want this child to die immediately?!" Persephone looked at Demeter with a look of disbelief on her face and said, "Given the child's condition, he has just arrived. The underworld will be left there forever by a gust of wind!"

"So this is the path you will follow."

Demeter's reaction was very indifferent. She looked at Persephone and continued: "I allow you to light the Hades lamp and follow him. At the same time, I will not seal your divine power. You can take action at any time to save her. he.

But you have to understand that when you take action, the trial will be over. "

I understand the promise,

Not only was it a promise, the gods who peered in here also understood it.

On the Holy Mountain of Olympus, Queen Hera, who had just stood up suddenly and almost rushed out to stop this ridiculous farce, now sat down again.

Because in this trial, the safety of the promise is no longer a problem, but... this is already an absolutely impossible trial!

After all, leaving aside the promise of losing hearing and vision, how to walk in front of Hades? Persephone following behind him is already an extremely unstable bomb.

"Demeter never thought about letting Promise complete the trial. Her real intention was to take advantage of this opportunity to let Persephone see the underworld clearly."

Hermes, who could see through the thoughts of the goddess Demeter at a glance, even though he was now bruised and swollen, he still did not forget his melon-eating nature and said: "And Demeter also knows that with Persephone's character, she will definitely Will take action when the promise is in danger.

And as long as she takes action, it will be equivalent to giving up the meeting with Hades herself. "

Athena glanced at Hermes when she heard this. It was not that she objected to what Hermes said, but she was thinking that he spoke so neatly. It seemed that she had hit him too lightly just now.

"It seems that Demeter also likes Promise, so she doesn't intend to let him be in real danger." Apollo, the God of Light, couldn't help laughing.

"Who wouldn't like it?" Artemis nodded as she recalled the painting that night.

Hearing this, the gods present did not refute. After all, they gathered here because of their promise.

Only Hermes quietly pouted at this moment. After all, he had just been beaten by Athena because of his promise.

But even if time goes back, Hermes will probably... no, definitely make the same choice.

After all, this melon tastes so good!

"That's great." Queen Hera, whose beautiful golden curly hair spilled out from under the crown, finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "In this way, the child is finally safe..."

But before Hera finished speaking, Athena sighed greatly.

Golden eyes stared at her puzzled, and said: "So, Hera, you should give up your position as soon as possible. You... don't understand that child at all!"

As she said that, before Hera, who opened her eyes wide and glared at her, could say anything, Athena continued: "Because even under such conditions and such an impossible trial, the child will never give up. .

Not only because this is the path he chose to become a hero, this is his oath to us, but also because that child cannot let go of the fate that surrounds him.

Therefore, if it fails, there is only one situation...that is, his blood will bloom like flowers on the road to the underworld. "

After saying that, he ignored the stunned Hera, and even the equally stunned Apollo and Artemis on the side.

Athena turned her head and looked at the goddess of fate who had arrived here at some unknown time, and said: "You said what I said, right, Clotho?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the gods present subconsciously gathered around Atropos. Next to her, her sister Clotho was holding the crystal ball as always, standing there at some point.

That's right, Clotto had already walked out of the temple of destiny at this time, and she no longer continued to look for the possibility in the promised destiny.

Because they had already met before Promise went to the goddess Demeter.

And when she came here, it meant that the number of people... was finally here.

The four gods who are intertwined with the fate of the promise.

"Klotto?!" Hera looked at her in surprise and said, "When did you come... Oh, by the way, Cloteau, I heard that you have been observing the fate of the child. What is the future that I see..."

Hera hadn't finished her anxious words yet.

"Just as the respected goddess of wisdom said." Clotho replied slowly with his soft voice: "His bright blood bloomed in the underworld like the most beautiful flowers in the world."

Yes, this is the fate that Clotho has always seen and wants to see in a different future in the Temple of Destiny.

"wrong!"

Hearing this, even Apollo couldn't help but frown and retorted: "Persephone is not that kind of god. She can't watch the child die in front of her."

"Under normal circumstances, it is indeed the case." Clotto did not refute, nodded slightly, and said: "But he promised that he would personally do it, cutting off the possibility of survival!"

...

...

Promise accepted this trial,

In fact, no matter what kind of trial the goddess Demeter gives now, he will choose to accept it.

But the promise was not sealed immediately, because Demeter did not have such ability.

And one person is needed to take them to the underworld to conduct this trial.

therefore......

"Beautiful goddess, we meet again."

When I saw the goddess with a veil on her face, long black hair as beautiful as night and beautiful red eyes, she came from the underworld to Demeter's temple.

Nuo Yan couldn't help but laugh and said.

Hecate, the goddess of the road who helped Nuoyan go to the underworld a few days ago, was also the first goddess to express her explicit dislike to Nuoyan.

And her appearance and involvement in this matter were actually a destiny.

Because in mythology, Hecate is actually the protector of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld.

In the original myth, when Persephone was abducted by Hades and taken to the underworld, and Demeter was searching and crying in the world, it was Hecate who came to see her and sent Persephone there. He told Demeter about the underworld.

At the same time, she later helped Persephone return to Demeter.

Hecate ignored the promise. She walked directly in front of Demeter and asked: "Dear goddess Demeter, what do you want to see me for?"

"Goddess Hecate, I would like to ask you to help me take this child and my daughter to the underworld and help me with the next trial." Demeter replied.

Hearing this, Hecate agreed happily and nodded: "Of course, no problem. It is my honor to be able to help you, the noble one. So...is it now?"

With that said, Hecate looked at Persephone.

And he never intended to take a look at the promise from beginning to end.

Demeter did not answer immediately, but after looking at the promise, she replied to Hecate: "As long as the child nods, we can start. And when the time comes, Hecate, I will bother you to help me seal it." Protect the child's hearing and vision."

Hecate, who frowned slightly after hearing this, finally glanced at Promise.

Then nodded to show understanding.

"Then kid, when do you think we should start?" Seeing this, Demeter asked Nuoyan with a smile.

She was not in a hurry, but she naturally felt that the sooner the better.

Because Demeter was just waiting for her daughter to take action, end all this, and obtain the artifact of the invisibility helmet.

Persephone on the side lowered her head,

In fact, she was roughly aware of her mother's thoughts, but she did not choose to stop it, because in this way, the promise would not be involved in this matter.

So all eyes once again focused on Nuoyan, who after pondering for a while, raised his head and said to Demeter: "Goddess Demeter, can you please wait for me for a while? Soon, immediately That’s it.”

After Demeter nodded, Nuoyan ran towards the outside of the temple.

Seeing this, Demeter and Persephone followed.

Although Hecate was not interested, seeing them all leaving, she naturally had no choice but to follow them.

They followed Nuoyan out of the spring-like courtyard all the way to the gate of the temple. Naturally, the giant lion, hundred-eyed giant and horse that Nuoyan had fallen asleep with the ink-colored reed flute had woken up long ago.

They were even communicating in a way that Nuoyan couldn't understand, and seemed very harmonious.

Promise called Pegasus back and took out something from the bow it carried.

When the goddesses who followed him discovered what Nuoyan had brought out, they were all slightly surprised.

It was a golden lyre... Yes, it was the lyre that Apollo, the god of light, entrusted Nuoyan to give to his son.

Nuoyan held the lyre and looked at Persephone.

"Goddess Persephone, before going to the underworld for the trial, I need you to promise me one thing... No, I need you to promise me a vow!"

Seeing Nuoyan's serious expression at this time, Persephone was stunned for a moment before asking, "What vow?"

"After entering the underworld, my hearing and vision are sealed, I will play the lyre in my hand, and during this period, Goddess Persephone, you cannot interrupt the sound of my playing in any way.

And before the sound of the lyre is interrupted,

Goddess Persephone, you cannot take action to stop this trial!"

When Nuoyan finished this sentence,

The Olympian gods.

"That's right." The goddess of fate, Clotho, said softly: "In the futures I have seen, thousands and tens of thousands of futures, until the end of his life, he has never stopped playing the harp in his hand."

The gods were silent, even Athena was the same at this moment.

Then...

"Apollo!" Hera looked at the panicked Apollo with extreme anger, and the moon goddess Artemis also glared at him.

"Look at what you have done!"

"But wait, I never thought that things would turn out like this!" Apollo replied in a panic.

But the gods no longer had the heart to argue with him.

"Stay away from Xiao Nuoyan in the future, you guy!" The moon goddess Artemis left this sentence angrily, and then did not speak again.

Because at this time, the goddess Persephone had already agreed to the promise.

And made a vow.

After all, the interruption of the harp sound is such a simple condition. Even if it is just a simple fall, the harp sound will be interrupted.

Nuoyan considered this point, so he decided to borrow the lyre, so that it would not break even if he fell.

Demeter even laughed because Nuoyan proposed this condition, thinking that Nuoyan was really serious and cute.

Only the goddess Hecate, who was standing aside, seemed to have noticed something, and her red eyes under the veil stared at Nuoyan for a while.

After hearing Persephone's promise of the trial, Nuoyan, who also smiled, looked at Hecate and said, "Beautiful goddess, then I'll trouble you."

Hecate was silent for a while, and she seemed to be about to say something under the veil, but gave up in the end.

She took out the tin staff from the air and tapped it gently on the ground. Then the magic circle appeared, and the flying dark butterflies enveloped Nuoyan and Persephone.

In this way, when Nuoyan and Persephone opened their eyes again, they had already arrived at the underworld.

Hecate first handed the lit lamp to Persephone, then walked to Nuoyan and gently touched Nuoyan's ears and eyes.

Nuoyan lost his hearing and vision.

Then Hecate and Persephone watched,

Even in this situation, Nuoyan's face remained calm, and he even showed a faint smile, and slowly played the lyre in his hand.
