Chapter 213

Nuoyan thought and organized his words before continuing to say to Ishtar: "Goddess, please fight with me in the battle to capture the Holy Grail tonight."

When Nuo Yan said this, everyone was stunned.

Ishtar was also startled, and looked at Nuoyan with wide eyes... Feelings, you are not here for my cow, but for me!

"What's the reason?" Ishtar asked curiously.

She didn't even show an unhappy expression... Just the painting on the night scene just now, let alone Nuo Yan who wants to fight a Holy Grail War with her now, she would probably agree without hesitation even if they spent the night together. .

Anyway, in mythology, this goddess doesn’t have much moral integrity to speak of...

"Because I will win the Holy Grail War, then Goddess Ishtar will be my obstacle no matter what."

Nuoyan smiled, and did not wait for the other party to say, "I can actually help you." He continued: "Of course, I know that as a goddess, you don't care about the Holy Grail. You came here more to regain the divine power, but Maybe tomorrow I will stand in front of you, goddess, for some reason."

After hearing this, many people present understood the meaning of the promise.

Indeed, Goddess, they may be helping one moment, and the next moment they may be sending down divine punishment.

Ishtar didn't refute, after all, she really couldn't guarantee it.

"There is another reason, it's because of Enkidu."

"Me?" Enkidu was stunned when he heard this.

"Well... I haven't thanked you yet. Thank you for helping me save Hercules from being contaminated by black mud."

Nuoyan said, after expressing his gratitude to Enkidu, he looked at Ishtar again and said: "She is kind to me, and she is the first friend I made when I came here, so... ....Goddess Ishtar, let’s have a Holy Grail War.”

Enkidu is kind to everyone. She is the embodiment of nature, except for one person, and that is Ishtar.

Because in mythology, Ishtar killed many people because of his temporary anger and selfish desires, and was the culprit who framed Enkidu and Gilgamesh, directly leading to Enkidu's death.

When Noyan said this to Ishtar seriously, the person who felt the deepest feelings at this moment was actually Shirou Emiya, who was just here to be an audience.

"...Sure enough, he kept his promise." Shirou Emiya smiled and couldn't help but say.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hercules and Jason both looked back at him and smiled, showing expressions of approval.

At this moment, Emiya Shirou gained the friendship of two heroes from the Age of Gods.

Amazon Queen Hippolyta looked at them like this and couldn't help but said: "So, is this why you came to participate in the Holy Grail War just to make a wish to see him again?"

Jason smiled and said: "For Actaeon who turned into a giant deer, he dared to contradict the goddess of fate and stood in front of the moon god Artemis, for Orpheus who dared to go to the underworld, for Orpheus who dared to go to the underworld, for I, with my oath, stood in front of Hera, the queen of that day.

You have to know that he was the weakest among us at first, as if a gust of wind could be blown to the underworld, but he has rewritten everything for us and created the future today. "

As soon as Jason's voice fell, the resolute Hercules showed a rare soft expression and said: "So, when he goes to chase his dream, all of us bless him and support him from the bottom of our hearts. And happy.

But it does not mean that we will accept his departure. "

This vast, empty underworld, only slightly lit by the underworld fire in the cage, was extremely quiet, so the words of the two of them naturally seemed extremely loud and kept echoing.

And looking at the promise in front of him with his back to Hercules and Jason, his face showed a little embarrassment, and his ears even turned red.

Ishtar couldn't help it, so she covered her mouth and laughed.

Wow, this child is so cute, why not just snatch it away!

At this moment, Ishtar had the same thought as almost all the gods in ancient Greece...except Hecate!

And after this incident, these students of Weber's sect who followed, as well as Master Tini who followed Gilgamesh, and the synthetic beast Silver Wolf who came from Enkidu, etc., all have the most intuitive understanding of the promise.

Tohsaka Rin kept blinking and looked at the back of Nuoyan standing in front of the goddess.

At this moment, she couldn't help but recall what Weber said to her again, and at this moment Tohsaka Rin completely understood.

Indeed, there is really no need to worry about such a person.

Just like what Medea once said, just like the morning light that lights up the dark night and the last light before sunset, once you have seen it, it will be difficult to forget it.

Ishtar originally thought it was quite amusing, seeing Nuoyan's embarrassed look, but Ishtar found that she couldn't refuse the look of help he cast.

So after coughing twice with a smile, Ishtar changed the subject because of the promise, and at the same time asked the doubts in his heart, saying: "I understand that you want to launch a Holy Grail war against me, but... ...Why here?”

If you want to fight, then fight. Why did you bring me to the underworld?

When Nuo Yan heard this, his face showed the same gentle smile as always.

At the same time, I was greatly relieved.

This torture is finally over!

"Because I have peeked into fate, I saw some things."

Actually, I lied to you. I don't have clairvoyance... But because I turned around and traveled through time, I can actually be considered to have vision of the future?

"So I met a very gentle and lovely goddess, so I thought I might just say hello here, after all, we may meet in the future."

Nuoyan explained the reason and said with a smile: "Also, Goddess Ishtar, haven't you discovered that when you and the Bull of Heaven came here, you... actually had the concept of death attached to you."

Ishtar paused for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at the Bull of Heaven on the side.

It didn't matter if she looked at it, Ishtar found that her whole body was attached with red thunder chains, and her mouth had been bound for a long time.

When the Bull of Heaven found that Ishtar finally looked at him, he was so anxious that he almost cried.

"......Isn't it?"

Ishtar was stunned, her eyes widened again, she mechanically turned her head and looked at Nuoyan, saying: "The gentle and lovely goddess you mentioned, don't tell me it is..."

Nuoyan smiled gently and did not answer Ishtar's question.

Instead, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Rin Tosaka.

"First of all, as you said, let's say hello."

When Nuoyan said this, his eyes once again turned into bright golden eyes full of divinity, and the golden harp appeared in his hand... It was the seven-stringed harp given to Nuoyan by Apollo, the god of light.

Once, when Nuoyan was taking the Queen of the Underworld Persephone to the underworld, he played it in the special trial where he lost his five senses, and got a response from this artifact, letting the dazzling light illuminate the dim underworld.

And today, it is the same.

Nuoyan gently plucked the strings and slowly closed his eyes, so the sound of the harp that made wood and stone sad and beasts tamed echoed in this underworld.

As the sound of the harp sounded, the light centered on the lyre in Nuoyan's hand was like a drop of water falling into a mirror-like lake, rippling and spreading to the distance.

At this moment, the dark underworld was lit up as described in the myth.

In Ishtar's slightly stunned eyes, Nuoyan even took away part of the power of the underworld here.

Enkidu closed his eyes and listened attentively.

At first, because he wanted to meet Gilgamesh, Enkidu missed it, but now he finally made up for it.

At the same time, under the sound of the harp, even Gilgamesh remained quiet and did not make a sound.

After a few minutes, when the sound of the harp stopped and Nuoyan slowly opened his eyes, the dark underworld here had been completely lit up.

Everyone finally saw the full picture of the underworld here.

So they found that this place was empty and boring, without any meaning.

Ishtar seemed to see through the thoughts of Shirou Emiya and the others. She pouted and complained, "That's why I said I don't want to come here again!"

But they didn't notice that Rin Tohsaka, whose eyes had changed from sky blue to gem-like red, had a little sadness on her face.

Noyan stopped playing and looked at Enkidu.

"Enkidu, can you help me?"

When Noyan said this, Enkidu, who had also opened her eyes, looked over with some doubts, and she found that Noyan took out another painting in his hand.

And she was a little familiar with that painting.

In the underworld created and simulated by the Pale Knight, Enkidu had seen Noyan take it out and performed a beautiful magic for the little girl.

I see...

Enkidu smiled again and nodded, saying, "It's my honor."

After saying that, Enkidu took a deep breath and sang loudly.

Her singing brought the power of nature, and her whole body was filled with a huge magical aura.

Just as Ishtar and Gilgamesh looked at Enkidu in confusion, wondering why she was doing such a useless thing... After all, the law of the underworld cut off life.

The Pegasus, which had been standing aside obediently, regretting that there was no grass to eat here and was skilled in hiding, suddenly ran at this moment.

There was no need for Nuoyan to command at all, and it had reached a 100% tacit understanding, allowing it to spread its wings and run over the underworld, and scatter seeds in every corner lit by light.

With the falling of the seeds, Enkidu's power, and the power of Persephone, the queen of the underworld, borrowed by Nuoyan, the originally empty and desolate underworld, was stained with a touch of green at this moment, and then flowers broke out of the ground in the shocked eyes of Ishtar and others.

"Death, silence, desolation, pain and darkness, they all represent the underworld."

Nuoyan spoke, holding the golden lyre in his hand, stepped on the underworld where flowers bloomed, and walked towards the mistress of the underworld who had already arrived.

"But there is only one exception, that is the paradise called Elysee Paradise... It is the only happy and beautiful paradise built by a kind queen of the underworld for the suffering underworld. Only the purest souls can reach this place."

Nuoyan, who said these words, had stopped in front of her.

The originally black hair was now dyed with dazzling gold. The red eyes looked at everything in front of them dully and joyfully, and at the same time, they stared blankly at the promise that came in front of them.

Looking into Nuoyan's bright eyes, she was obviously at a loss at this moment.

"Good evening." Nuoyan chuckled and said, "The mistress of Hades...the goddess Ereshkigal."

Well, it was indeed night, because he asked Nyx, the goddess of the night, so the sun didn't rise at all.

After the words of the promise fell, Emiya Shirou and other students looked blankly at Ereshkigal...or to be precise, it was the possessed Tohsaka Rin.

"It's really you!"

At this moment, the first person in the crowd to react was Ishtar.

Seeing the arrival of Ereshkigal, Ishtar's expression was even a little distorted, and said: "I deliberately chose the artificial man to possess me, why can you still appear with me!"

Hearing this, Ereshkigal frowned before he could reply to Ishtar.

"Forget it, these are all trivial matters, what I really want to ask is another thing."

With that said, Ishtar looked at Nuoyan again and said with a louder voice: "The beautiful and lovely goddess... I said, you don't mean her!"

Ishtar pointed at Ereshkigal, who was stunned, and looked at Nuoyan with disbelief.

After looking at Nuoyan and nodding with a chuckle, Ishtar couldn't help but said: "Wait, it's not Nuoyan, you have to figure it out. This is Ereshkigal, the master of Hades. Don’t be deceived by her, because she is quite ugly in both character and appearance!”

"If you really want to talk about beauty and cuteness, then of course you can only refer to me, Ishtar. She is not worthy at all!"

As soon as Ishtar finished speaking, a red thunderbolt appeared in the sky above the underworld. It fell without any surprise and struck hard on Ishtar's body.

And when they heard Ishtar's screams, apart from the Bull of Heaven, Emiya Shirou and others felt that this lightning strike was really good...

Gilgamesh kept frowning deeply, looking at Ereshkigal who came out, then at Ishtar, and finally at Nuoyan.

He recalled what Nuoyan had just said in his mind, and looked at what Destiny had seen...

Gilgamesh is actually a very smart person, so at this moment, he is actually vaguely aware of many things.

Seeing Ishtar being struck by lightning, Nuoyan remained calm, smiled slightly, looked at Ereshkigal with anger in his eyes, and said: "The beautiful Lord of the Underworld, the goddess Ereshkigal , would you like to help me?"

"Please help me, take away the Bull of Heaven and Ishtar, and let me win this Holy Grail battle."

Ereshkigal was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded slightly while looking at Nuoyan.

Then I saw the red lightning falling continuously in the underworld, taking the struggling bull of the sky and the indescribable Ishtar who was struck by lightning, and just disappeared into the deepest part of the underworld.

Ishtar left, which meant that Ereshkigal was also leaving.

Before leaving, Ereshkigal glanced at the underworld, which was illuminated by light and covered with flowers, and subconsciously looked at Nuoyan.

"We will meet again." Nuoyan smiled warmly and said, "And when that day comes, my lovely goddess, please allow me... to draw a picture for you."

The voice fell and echoed in this empty underworld.

At the end of her departure, the mistress of Hades left her beautiful smile in full bloom.

In this way, with the existence of the gods withdrawing from this Holy Grail War, the underworld here no longer exists. Those underworld butterflies that have been falling on everyone flap their wings again, bringing everyone back to the world... Except for the promises.

Carrying the underworld butterfly, the veiled goddess Hecate once again walked out of the darkness and came to Nuoyan.

"I thought you wouldn't come to see me again."

Looking at her, Nuoyan couldn't help but joke.
