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

He could feel that Hephaestus was in a good mood now, as if he had won a battle and let out a strong breath of bad breath!

After hearing this, Hephaestus thought for a while, his amber eyes reflected the black-haired and emerald-eyed boy in front of him, and finally smiled lightly and said: "No need to care, because... he is just an unimportant person. That’s all.”

Chapter 84 Tribute, doll, daughter? ! (4k)

Two days later,

The night is getting darker, and the falling moonlight casts a hazy color on this ancient bronze temple.

In the quiet carving room, Nuoyan sat in front of the statue he had carved, sitting quietly. More than two hours had passed.

This is a lifelike statue of the same height as Hephaestus.

The maid, Okleya, stood aside to accompany him. Although Nuo Yan had said that this was not necessary, she was rarely very tough on this point.

Okolea looked at the statues, and the young man who suddenly stopped and stopped moving, and naturally felt a little confused.

After all, this statue of the goddess, this tribute to Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, has actually reached the final step, and it can be completely completed tonight.

In other words, the promise is about to leave here.

When he thought of this, Okleya's eyes couldn't help but darken a little.

And at this time,

"Okleia, you said...the goddess Hephaestus, will she really like this gift from me?" Nuo Yan suddenly asked softly as her emerald eyes stared at the statue in front of her.

Okleya was slightly stunned when she heard this. She was silent for a while, and then smiled helplessly and said: "Actually, I really want to say that she won't like it, so that you can stay here longer, but ...There’s no way she wouldn’t like it.”

It was just a wild flower on the roadside. I promised that as long as I picked it and offered it to Hephaestus, she would happily accept it, let alone this carefully crafted gift.

"That's it."

Nuo Yan nodded, then stood up with a smile.

Under Okleia's somewhat puzzled gaze, he came to the nearly finished statue of the goddess, placed his hand gently on it, and then exerted slight pressure.

The heavy statue tilted backwards. Okleya was shocked when he saw this, and subconsciously tried to save it, but Nuoyan reached out to stop it.

So in the end, only a dull loud noise was heard, echoing in the quiet temple.

The gift that Nuoyan had prepared for more than half a month was shattered by his own hands at this moment!

"Lord Nuoyan, what are you doing?!" Okleya looked at Nuoyan with shock and disbelief on his face.

As for the promise to destroy it, not only did he not feel any distress at this time, but he was still smiling.

He didn't explain to Okleya, turned around and left the room coolly.

Okleia stood there, looking at the broken statue at a loss. She panicked and felt that she was about to be demolished by Hephaestus again...

Again and again!

Okleya can hardly remember. This is the first time that she has been so worried and scared because of her promise that it would be better to close her eyes instead of opening them!

But at this point, Okleia clearly understood that her goddess must have heard the sound here, so there was no way to save it.

Because Hephaestus naturally knew that the promise was about to be completed, so she had actually been in the room, listening to the promise quietly, waving the stone carving hammer again and again, and waiting for the promise to deliver the gift. in front of her.

Okleya gritted his teeth and finally turned around and chased Nuoyan.

Following him, he came directly to the door of Hephaestus' room.

"Teacher Goddess, are you asleep?" Nuoyan knocked on the door gently.

It was quiet for a while before Hephaestus' voice came to answer.

So after Nuoyan opened the door, he saw her sitting on the bed.

Her beautiful long golden hair was scattered on the white bed, and her amber eyes blinked curiously at the person who walked in.

Just as Okleia expected, Hephaestus certainly saw everything, but she did not blame Okleia for her poor supervision.

After all, no matter how you look at it, promises are made on purpose.

So just when Hephaestus opened his lips slightly, ready to ask about the promise.

"Teacher, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

Nuoyan came to her with a smile and said something that made Hephaestus and Okleia instantly quiet.

“I wanted to offer a statue as a tribute to a goddess, and I tried and worked hard on it, and even tonight I was just one step away from finishing it.

But for some reason, looking at the statue, I suddenly felt that I couldn't handle it at all. "

"Because the goddess once gave me a valuable gift, but she never asked for anything from me. I think that since I want to offer that tribute, there should be no flaws. Even if it is not perfect, it should be The best I've ever done.

So...teacher, can you help me? "

Nuoyan looked at Hephaestus in front of him and said seriously: "I hope you can help me, teacher, to complete the tribute."

When the promise was finished, it was Hephaestus who looked at the promise with strange eyes for a while before replying: "If I heard correctly, you mean, let me help you with the carving. Give that gift and then give it to the goddess? "

"Yeah." Nuo Yan nodded.

"...Let me ask again, the goddess you are talking about is me, right?"

"Yes." Nuoyan nodded calmly, not feeling ashamed at all.

Because he is not really stupid, of course he understands that Hephaestus knew what he was doing all along.

At first, Nuoyan actually thought about hiding it from Hephaestus and preparing a surprise for her.

But because of the shackles on his left hand, Nuoyan could not leave the temple. It was impossible to hide his goddess in the temple.

So from the very beginning, Promise was just a cover-up that he knew full well.

Hephaestus wanted to laugh, and she did.

After all, the promise meant that she would make gifts and tributes for herself.

Immediately, Hephaestus was ready to agree,

Because after hearing this, she already understood the reason why Nuo Yan did this.

I stopped at the last step because I had seen the promise of the finished product and really didn’t feel that it could be dedicated to the god of craftsmen in front of me, who was also his teacher’s goddess.

"Okay...huh?"

Just as he agreed with a smile, Hephaestus suddenly noticed that Okleia was a little strange.

Okleya looked at her for a while, then looked at Nuoyan, his eyes lingering on the two of them, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

And after looking into Hephaestus' doubtful eyes, he quickly looked up at the sky, looked away, and showed an expression of "I don't know anything."

Hephaestus looked at her in confusion,

But Hephaestus was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something, and looked at Okleia again.

Eukeleia, she is a doll made by Hephaestus, to be precise, a carved doll...

But now, she wants to carve a tribute to herself with Nuo Yan.

The point is not the tribute, but the carving along with the promise...

ah? !

Hephaestus finally reacted and opened his eyes wide.

"Teacher Goddess?" Nuoyan looked at her with confusion, subconsciously stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Seeing the promise approaching him, Hephaestus, who fully understood at this time, almost subconsciously hid behind him.

At the same time, because she had no feeling in her legs, she supported her body with both hands and moved two steps into the bed.

How would you describe the scene?

It almost made Okleia laugh out loud while watching!

After a while, Hephaestus, who probably understood his gaffe, sat up again on the bed, put his hand to his mouth and coughed dryly.

But his face turned slightly red.

Then he glared fiercely at Okleia who was standing aside.

Okleia felt that she couldn't stay in this place any longer, and was about to leave when she found her goddess giving her a look that said, "You will die if you dare to leave." So she lowered her head helplessly and said honestly Stand aside.

"Actually... you don't need to be in such a hurry to give me tribute."

Hephaestus hesitated for a while, looked away and replied softly: "After all, I'm not in a hurry. You can actually come back and give me the tribute any time."

Nuoyan looked at Hephaestus who suddenly repented in confusion, and then looked at Okleia who was like an ostrich and wanted to bury her head in the ground and didn't want to hear anything.

He didn't know what was going on.

Because who would have thought that these dolls are all made of sculptures!

So after thinking for a while, Nuoyan smiled and replied to Hephaestus: "Well, I know, my goddess teacher is a gentle goddess.

Even if I am a believer of the person you hate, Goddess Teacher, you have never done anything excessive to me so far. "

It’s not that I didn’t plan to do it, it’s just that I didn’t have time to do it.

"And as soon as we met, he made me that precious artifact."

They are all from the art department. In this regard, it doesn't matter if the inspiration comes, it doesn't matter. What you said is not the same. The goddess Hephaestus almost killed you at that time, but you didn't ignore everything once the inspiration came. I just drew that picture.

"And when it comes to tributes, you, who have always pursued perfection, are willing to accept my flaws..."

Not to mention flaws, even if you pick a flower by the roadside and offer it, the goddess Hephaestus will be happy for a long time now and carefully preserve it.

"So my goddess teacher is really a gentle and beautiful goddess."

Okleia raised her head and took a deep breath.

When she looked up, she saw that Hephaestus was covering his face with his hands, and his ears were already red.

Hephaestus felt that he would not be able to see anyone.

At the same time, Okleya also felt that he was going to die.

She pressed her hand tremblingly on the door beside her, her face completely deformed, and even cracks appeared on the wall because of her excessive force.

Bear it, you must bear it.

You must not laugh. If you laugh, you will be half disabled even if you don't die!

God, it’s so painful. If I had known this, I might as well have been dismantled from the beginning!

"But it is precisely because of this that I want to give you a better gift... It is true that if I settle down for a while, I will be able to give you such a gift on my own, but... ..”

When the promise came to this, he hesitated and did not continue.

But Hephaestus, who was covering his face, already knew what the promise was thinking.

Because when Nuoyan really left the temple, he immediately had to do something, which was his agreement with the goddess, and the goddess had been waiting until now.

Nuoyan promised Hera that he would use the brush he got to paint Hera, and Hera would be the first goddess he painted in the true sense.

"...Actually, I am a little surprised at this point."

Hephaestus, who gradually recovered, took his hand away from his face, looked at the black-haired and green-eyed boy in front of him, and said: "Because until now, you have never mentioned anything about the relationship between me and Hera to me."

"I won't mention it, although... this should be considered a kind of escape." Nuoyan said to Hephaestus helplessly.

And at this moment, Hephaestus has completely calmed down.

Although her face was still a little red, she smiled at Nuoyan in front of her and said; "It seems that my feeling at the beginning was not wrong. That painting... you actually saw it when you painted me that day."

Nuoyan was silent for a while, then nodded gently.

At that time, even the goddess of wisdom, Athena, was completely presented in front of Nuoyan.

So that day, while sketching Hephaestus, Nuoyan did see, saw the deepest part of her memory, how Hera abandoned her, and how she returned to Olympus with what mood, and finally despaired.

If it were someone else, then it would obviously be a dead person at this time.

But looking at Nuoyan in front of him, Hephaestus, who was still smiling on his face, finally said: "Thank you... and it's really great that it can be you."

So Hephaestus helped Nuoyan forge the statue.

A gift for herself.

Time, it only took one day.
