Chapter 165
Hercules laughed, and then went directly to meet a sacred bull.
The ground trembled as the two collided, but this sacred bull born from the sun was actually restrained by Heracles alone.
At the other end, Actaeon, who roared and turned into a giant deer, rushed forward with Theseus, Meleager and others.
Several people worked together to barely control it, but only temporarily.
Immediately when they exerted their strength and prepared to take them to farm, the sacred bull who refused to admit defeat actually spurted flames directly from its mouth, and even Heracles could only evade it for the time being.
Several other people were injured all at once. Fortunately, they were smeared with the medicine from Medea at the beginning. Then Atalanta stepped forward, shot sharp arrows to draw away the hatred, and fought with the irrational god at a vigorous speed. Cows circle around.
They smashed into the surrounding trees with brute force and burned everything to ashes.
This made the people of Colchis who were watching from a distance feel anxious. Even King Aeetes and Queen Ina of Colchis were very nervous and wanted to shout several times. stop.
Because even Medea was helping out at this time.
When the sun rises high, the power of the sacred cows becomes more and more powerful because of the sun's rise.
Nuoyan finally arrived here. He looked at the situation on the field and was shocked. Just as he was about to leave the field, Chiron stopped him.
"Promise, you can't help them if you go down now."
Chiron spoke softly, and without waiting for Nuoyan's reply, he continued: "Also, please take back the brush in your hand, otherwise... they will never forgive me in this life, and I will also A lifetime of guilt.”
...This threat of yours is truly terrifying.
Nuoyan looked at Chiron with twitching lips, and finally had no choice but to take back the brush.
He watched the scene, except for a few people, including the giant deer Actaeon who had been staying on the ship, all come to help, and was silent for a while.
"No wonder Hercules kept saying that no matter what, he would come at this time... No wonder Athena only told me that Ares's paintings and tributes cannot use the power of any gods. It turns out that everything has already happened It’s arranged.”
Nuo Yan, who had calmed down, asked, "Who is involved?"
Chiron thought for a while and said: "Except for Ares, the God King Zeus must have been here."
Speaking of this, Chiron wanted to laugh for a moment.
Because they all secretly found a ‘spokesperson’, and they proudly thought that they were the only ones, and wanted to show off in front of other gods when the time came.
So at this moment, Chiron was thinking that even the goddess of wisdom was probably embarrassed by such an act of escaping.
But if everyone is embarrassed together, then it won’t actually be embarrassing.
"It's because fate has been rewritten, right?"
Nuoyan looked at Chiron. After all, he said that he should come.
Obviously, it was worth it because the promise had rewritten Chiron's original destiny.
Chiron nodded, not denying it.
Nuoyan was silent again, then sighed deeply and said: "I never thought about letting them know from the beginning to the end, and I also never thought about using it as blackmail."
"This is not a threat, and you clearly helped them like that and even changed their destiny, so why are you so resistant to us helping you?"
Chiron looked at Nuo Yan quietly.
"You helped Actaeon, who turned into a giant deer, so that he did not die at the hands of his friend Meleager. You also helped Meleager so that he did not die at the hands of his mother. You let Hercules Laclos’ life is no longer so painful.”
"You also changed Atalanta's original destiny, allowing her to run happily all the time. You personally went to the underworld and brought Orpheus back his lover."
"Jason, Medea, Theseus and even the child Helen, all of them have left traces of your journey on their roads. You have worked hard to let everyone bathe in the sun, so they hope to repay you. You Why do you want to refuse?"
Nuoyan didn't speak for a short period of time. After a while, he replied in a low voice: "Because, I have already received the best thank you."
As he said that, the heroic spirit card that only he could see appeared in Nuoyan's hand. He looked at the card and replied blankly: "I want to be a hero and leave my name in this era. I did change their destiny, but...didn't I also turn the legend that belonged to them into my own?"
When he said this promise, a trace of shame flashed across his face.
He never has no purpose to help others. On the contrary, his purpose is always obvious and pure.
That is to participate in the original legends of these heroes and leave their own traces.
Just walking around, Nuo Yan discovered that he was not involved at all, but rather took it away.
For example, the glory of the Argonauts should belong to Jason, the hunting of the Calydon boar should belong to Meleager, and the great deed of saving Prometheus, the god of prophets and foresights, should originally belong to Hercules.
Although he never regretted his promise, and he did try his best to do things to the best of his ability.
But sometimes I really think about it like this.
He felt that he really owed them.
Then, then the promise was shot.
Even on the battlefield, when the promise appeared, many people actually still had a part of him in their hearts.
The purpose is to prevent him from rushing over, and...for Atalanta and the others, it may be a habit.
So Atalanta shot a sharp arrow, which fell at Promise's feet.
Even Hercules glared at him at this time.
Chiron, whose face also fell, now smiled instead.
"I suddenly understood why the goddess Athena had deliberately concealed it for so long, and why the queen Hera and the goddess Clotho had chosen their fate one by one... Promise, these gods really love each other. You.”
Then, he looked at the battlefield again.
I don't know if he heard the promise, but Jason actually got angry and stepped forward to grab the sacred cow.
The glares of all the heroes actually made these furious sacred cows born from the sun feel fear!
"And I think this should be a very beautiful painting, no less than any painting of the gods in your hand... The heroes have paved the way for you to go to the God of War Ares. path, and you will reach the end and defeat the God of War."
Chiron paused slightly as he spoke, and then said with a smile: "So Promise, you should work hard to make this painting more beautiful, otherwise... the anger in their hearts at this moment may be difficult to eliminate."
When Nuoyan heard this, he looked at the arrow shot on the ground.
There are also those people on the battlefield who are giving them angry looks.
Finally, he smiled helplessly, raised his hand, and said, "Okay, I understand."
Chapter 145: How about we imprison the promise (5k)
"Well... by the way, does this count as cheating?"
Under the cover of clouds on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Colchis, Ares, who was wearing battle armor and had red hair, was handsome and reckless, and was a little confused at the moment.
Below, Hercules, the giant deer Actaeon and others were already sitting on the two sacred cows born from the sun, and were pulling their horns to cultivate.
Sprinkle the fangs of the poisonous dragon, and they will grow out of the ground at night as fanged soldiers.
Ares's words made the surrounding gods look at each other subconsciously... Needless to say, Athena, Hera and others were here, even the sea god Poseidon was here.
To be precise, at this moment, all the main gods of Olympus, except for Zeus who ran away to nowhere and Hades, the king of Hades who couldn't come out during the day, were all present.
After all, this is the end of this adventure, and they have been watching it from the beginning, just like following a TV series. How could they not show up when it is about to end?
So now Nyx, the goddess of the night, is almost dying of anxiety and has been hesitating whether to run out. However, because she is the incarnation of the night and will compete for the power of the sky when she appears, she can only be anxious.
Besides her, even Hades was looking forward to the end of the day soon... So looking at the bustling Sun God Helios, he shivered inexplicably!
"Of course not."
After a slight cough, it was Athena who finally stood up to talk to Ares.
If you are in trouble, throw Athena away, she can solve it anyway... This is not only the thought of many heroes, but also the gods.
Who makes her the smartest and strongest, and she even enjoys doing such things.
"Ares, you are the God of War among the gods of Olympus. War and killing are your powers. Therefore, for the promise that the child wants to get your power and paint you, the thing you offer must be A fight you recognize...
This is why all of us cannot take action. "
Ares glanced at the goddess of wisdom standing in front of him, wearing a pure white dress, as flawless as ever, and said: "Yes, so you see..."
As he said that, Ares pointed at the promise that was being protected by Chiron. To be precise, he was guarding the promise and would not let him move. He said, "That promise guy didn't fight at all!"
Athena smiled after hearing this and said: "Nuoyan did not fight, because he won the battle from the beginning. Those who were saved by him volunteered to fight for him and have been fighting for this day. Expecting, waiting.
What's more, he didn't break the agreement and didn't borrow the power of the gods, right? "
"But..." Ares was still confused when he heard this.
When Athena saw this, she knew that Ares couldn't understand it no matter how she said it... Or perhaps Ares didn't actually care about that much at all, and his thinking was extremely simple.
If you want to get the power of Ares, the god of war, and his paintings, then just have a fight and make him happy.
So Athena said: "Don't worry, I will fight for you. He will challenge the poisonous dragon guarding the golden fleece alone and defeat it."
Upon hearing this, Ares's mind finally became clear.
Athena shook her head helplessly. She felt that she should not talk nonsense to Ares, and then returned to Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, who was pushed by the goddess of beauty Aphrodite.
Speaking of which, Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, actually has a very good relationship with Athena.
So now, looking at these two people whose relationship with the Goddess of Beauty seemed to have eased, Athena couldn't hide the evil smile on her face.
In response, Hephaestus simply tilted his head and ignored it.
And because of the arrival of Hephaestus, Hera almost subconsciously stood farther away from her, standing with Hestia and Demeter who were snickering.
At the same time, just like what Chiron said, when the 'escaping' situation was exposed, Athena's vision was a little wandering at first.
Then after understanding that everyone is the same, it is really not embarrassing anymore.
"But to be honest, you actually asked someone for help, which is beyond my expectation."
At this moment, Apollo, who was standing with the moon god Artemis, said to Hermes beside him: "For you, it is more interesting to promise to complete all these trials alone, isn't it? "
"Hey, what are you talking about? Nuoyan is my good friend!"
Hermes opened his eyes wide and looked at Apollo with an expression of "You slander me", but Apollo didn't accept this at all.
"Okay, I admit, I thought so at first, and I also thought the latter was more interesting."
So Hermes shrugged and replied: "If it were normal, I would definitely do that, but this is Nuoyan's painting, and his paintings are all very interesting without exception."
Hearing this, Apollo understood and nodded: "That's right, even the painting I used to hunt you was very good."
"And now there are only three paintings missing from that guy's paintings... To be precise, apart from Ares, there are only two left, Hestia and Athena."
Hermes continued: "So it is certain that he has finished painting us. You are looking forward to that moment, I am also looking forward to it, everyone is looking forward to it.
What's more, I didn't lie to you, I did regard Nuoyan as a friend, and he was destined to become one of us. "
...
Soon it was sunset.
The two sacred cows, which were exhausted by the heroes for farming, dragged heavy steps back to the cave.
However, Jason and Heracles did not relax. They were still tense and did not relax.
Because as the sun set little by little, those fangs that were sprinkled began to emit poisonous gas visible to the naked eye, seeping out from the ground.
The heroes of the Argonauts knew that soon many poison dragon fang mutinies would break out.
And this is the second trial.
Seeing this,
"Command down and get the soldiers ready!"
King Aeetes, who had been watching the battle from a distance, ordered the ministers beside him.
In fact, there was no need for King Aeetes to say anything. The soldiers of Colchis had already gathered here and were ready to deal with the dragon fang soldiers.
The bravery of Hercules and others really surprised the people of Colchis, but in fact, ever since the story of the Golden Fleece spread, heroes or demigods have been coming here to challenge them.
And some, with the help of gods, also used sacred cows for farming.
But so far, no hero has been able to safely survive the densely packed dragon tooth soldiers crawling out of the ground.
Because they are undead souls who have returned from the underworld, they have no concept of death and will never really die at all. No matter how many times they are killed, they can be reborn.
So the second trial is actually like this. The heroes need to stand here to resist their attack and engage in an endless battle until dawn the next day.
So at this moment, the queen of Colchis, the mother of Medea, that beautiful woman, came to the centaur sage Chiron and Nuoyan.
And persuaded them to give up, she didn't want to see her daughter hurt.
