Chapter 220

"Well, I've already thought about it."

Nuoyan chuckled and replied: "Just now."

"Now?"

Not only Weber, but also some eavesdropping students nearby were stunned for a moment.

"Well, because I'm actually looking forward to it."

Nuo Yan replied calmly.

"...That's it."

Weber said this with emotion in his voice, mixed with a hint of envy.

Nuoyan understood the reason for his envy. He probably thought of the conquering king Iskandar.

"Then go ahead, I won't disturb you now... But since you are still my nominal student, when you come back, please make some mental preparations for your visit this time. Be willful and pay the price!”

Weber's words were very serious, but with a little concern.

Even though he knew Nuo Yan's identity but Nuo Yan didn't take the initiative to mention it, he was still willing to treat Nuo Yan as his student and leave a place and a place for him in the clock tower.

"Yes, I understand Professor."

After Nuoyan responded softly, the person on the other end hung up the phone, put down the phone, and looked around. He found that Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin were all looking at him.

The atmosphere seemed a little calm for a while.

"so......"

Tohsaka Rin, who raised the corners of his mouth and smiled like a little devil showing his tail, playfully asked Nuoyan: "Our great hero classmate, have you thought about who the goddess you want to see is?" ”

As soon as Tohsaka Rin finished his teasing words, many people snickered in the villa.

Regarding this, I have become somewhat accustomed to the promises made in the past few days. I ignored it and said with a smile: "Actually, I am also looking forward to who the person who comes to see me is."

Nuoyan is really looking forward to it,

So after chatting with them for a while, Nuo Yan walked out of the villa alone and came outside.

Facing the faint morning breeze and the bright sunrise, Nuoyan walked alone on this suburban road, calming his heart, the Holy Grail appeared in his hand, and he made that wish.

When the Holy Grail received Nuo Yan's wish, time was frozen at this moment, and the leaves falling gently in the wind stagnated in the air until Nuo Yan subconsciously took a step forward.

Taking one step forward, all the scenery in front of him was shattered like a mirror. After the shattering, the fragments of the world were quickly recast.

The promise disappeared from where it was just now, crossing time at this moment and arriving somewhere in the past.

And during this period, Nuoyan's appearance also underwent some changes, becoming younger and more immature.

After coming back to his senses, Nuo Yan glanced around. With just one glance, he already understood where he was, because he was too familiar with everything here.

That was the place where Nuoyan lived for three years and studied with many ancient Greek heroes... Outside the Piliwen Cave of the Centaur Sage Chiron.

Chiron-sensei...no, it couldn't be him.

Slightly stunned, Nuo Yan immediately denied the guess in his mind. Many faces appeared in his mind, but he soon smiled and stopped thinking about it.

After all, the answer is already in front of you, you will know it when you walk in.

Promise returned to the cave made of ancient trees and a wooden house with a natural atmosphere.

And at the wooden table outside the wooden house, she saw the goddess waiting for her there.

And just when Nuo Yan looked at her, she noticed his gaze and raised her bright amber eyes.

The two looked at each other, slightly stunned. Excitement flashed clearly in her eyes, and she clenched her hands subconsciously, but she quickly calmed down.

Then, when Nuoyan looked at her blankly, she took a deep breath, showed her most beautiful smile, and said to Nuoyan gently: "Nuoyan, you are back."

"......Um."

Nuo Yan, who gradually came back to his senses, looked at the noble goddess in front of him and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Long time no see, goddess Hera."

Yes, the goddess sitting here waiting for the promise is none other than Hera.

In ancient Greek mythology, she is the most noble of all goddesses and the goddess whom Nuoyan first believed in.

Wearing noble and gorgeous divine clothes, her beautiful golden curly hair fell from under the crown, and her amber eyes revealed the majesty of being a queen. But when such eyes were placed on Nuo Yan, all that was left was gentle.

At this moment, he seemed to be several years younger, just like when he secretly followed Jason down the mountain, dressed like that, with a childish promise on his face, he came and sat down in front of Queen Hera.

The reason why the promise has become like this now is probably because this is the time that made the most profound impression in Hera's memory.

"You don't seem surprised."

Looking at the promise that came to her as usual, Hera, who suppressed her inner excitement and tried to make herself look normal, couldn't help but ask.

"No matter who responds to me, I won't be surprised...not to mention, it's you, the goddess Hera."

Hearing such words, Hera's smile couldn't help but look happier.

And Nuo Yan is telling the truth. As long as the goddess Hecatena is not sitting here at this time, even if it is the God King Zeus or the God of Light Apollo, Nuo Yan probably thinks it is understandable.

Not to mention, it was Hera, one of the four goddesses with whom his fate intersected.

"But, shouldn't you think it's Athena?" When Hera said this, she raised her head and glanced at her promise, and a sudden realization flashed in her eyes.

He now understood who the goddess who traded with Ishtar was and who left the oracle that said 'I found you'.

In fact, Nuoyan always knew that the trials and oracles about the Bull of the Sky were just the acting and imitation of a certain god, not Athena herself.

Because if it were really the trial prepared by Athena for Promise, it would never be that simple. With her style, in the Holy Grail War, at least Promise would have to be an enemy of everyone.

In the almost impossible trial, finding the only way to victory and creating dazzling miracles is the style of the goddess of wisdom.

"No, it's not."

So Nuoyan shook his head and replied to Hera: "Actually, I have always felt that it might be you, the goddess Hera."

As he spoke, in Hera's blinking and somewhat surprised look, Nuoyan explained: "Because of Jason and Heracles, and because of the Argonauts that set sail again.

And because the oracle Ishtar gave me... found me. "

The reason why the Argonauts set off in the first place was because of the trial of Hera. It represented the glory of Hera, and Jason was a believer of Hera.

So when Nuoyan learned from Jason that he was setting off again later, he began to wonder if this had anything to do with Hera.

Did Hera keep looking at Jason with expectation?

And obviously, Nuoyan guessed it right.

When Jason responded to the call of the Holy Grail and appeared in front of Nuoyan, Hera had actually discovered Nuoyan at that moment.

Later in the Holy Grail War, more and more gods were able to cast shadows in the real world. In fact, it was her authorization as the Queen of Gods.

Hera was silent for a short time, then laughed again quickly, stretched out her hand to rub Nuoyan's head, and smiled lovingly: "It's true, I can't hide anything from you, my child."

"No, one thing actually exceeded my expectations."

When Hera heard this, she looked at Nuoyan curiously, but found that his eyes were evasive at the moment, showing some sadness and some worry.

Hera quickly understood what was going on. After putting down her hand, her amber eyes looked at Nuo Yan seriously.

"At first, I was really sad and miserable."

Hera's words at this time were gentle but stern, saying: "Because I never thought that you would leave me one day. In my heart, you are just like my child. I am full of expectations and pride. See Let you defeat Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, and realize your dream.

Together with the gods, we are waiting for your return, looking forward to you becoming one of us, but never thought that that day...only Athena will come back. "

That day, because Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, was defeated, the Titans who rebelled together were suppressed again and imprisoned in the abyss of the underworld.

Atalanta and Medea, with the help of the gods, drove the sun carriage and brought light back to the world.

Everything seemed so beautiful until Athena, in tears, returned to them.

"None of us could accept your departure, so in grief and anger, we... were even prepared to throw Athena into the abyss!"

After hearing this, Nuo Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Queen Hera in shock.

Looking at Nuoyan's wide-eyed and extremely panic reaction, Hera couldn't help but laugh and continued to say warmly: "Don't worry, she was not thrown into the abyss by us, because at the most critical moment, your The lovely goddess of destiny is here.

She told us that you were not dead, that you just went to a far away place, and swore an oath that we would meet again.

In this way, we let Athena go, but..."

Speaking of this, Hera's eyes were full of blame, she stretched out her hand and gently pinched Nuoyan's face, and said: "You, you are really acting like a fool as always. Do you know how sad Athena was because of your departure? ?

I have never seen her like that. Her expression was empty, and the wisdom in her eyes seemed to have disappeared. Even when she was imprisoned in the abyss, she did not give the slightest response.

It wasn't until the goddess of fate made an oath to tell us that we would definitely see you again, that her eyes regained their sparkle! "

Nuoyan listened to all this in a daze. To be honest, he didn't really feel it, because even if he imagined it, Nuoyan found that he couldn't imagine it.

After all, in his memory, the goddess of wisdom was always so proud and bright, the brightest and most beautiful pearl among the gods.

"Then now she..."

Nuoyan subconsciously wanted to ask, but Hera stuck out her index finger and blocked her mouth.

"No."

Hera smiled, with a teasing smile in her eyes at this moment, and said to Nuoyan: "If you want to know everything, you need to go see her yourself, because... Xiao Nuoyan, you are The first one who made her cry."

Nuoyan was stunned for a moment, then his expression became firm, and he nodded seriously to Hera.

Then he rolled his eyes again and looked at the smiling Hera in front of him. He hesitated for a moment, and finally took a deep breath and asked Hera cautiously: "Then Goddess Hera, you...are you still here now?" Are you angry with me?"

"What do you think?"

Hera couldn't help rolling her eyes at Nuoyan and said angrily: "Don't you think I should be angry? You told us such lies and deceived us... Nuoyan, we are gods, Do you know the consequences of deceiving the gods?"

"...Well, I know." In the silence, Nuoyan raised his head again, looked at her with clear and serious eyes, and said: "And I am ready to face God's punishment, otherwise... ....I won’t come to see you either.”

"Are you really ready?"

Hearing this, Queen Hera also looked at him seriously.

After seeing the promise and nodding firmly, Hera said: "Okay, then I will satisfy you."

The words fell, just when Nuoyan was ready to bear the suffering left by the gods.

He then saw Hera reaching out her hand to him and then pointing it at his forehead.

Just flick it!

"Okay." In Nuoyan's incredible eyes, Hera nodded pretending to be serious and said: "The divine punishment is over..."

puff!

Trying hard to maintain her expression until the end, Hera couldn't hold it in and laughed.

Smiling, Hera looked at Nuo Yan's confused look, and could no longer suppress the feelings in her heart, and held him gently in her arms.

"You...at the beginning, I was really prepared to punish you cruelly, and I had already convinced myself. After all, there is one thing that I have always been worried about until now, and that is you. My child actually chose her over Athena and me."

Holding the boy in her arms, Hera, the most noble goddess in ancient Greece, said with a gentleness that could hardly be seen by others, her voice was soft and helpless: "But when I really find you, I know everything. The reason is that I saw your confusion and change, but I found that I couldn't do it...

From the beginning, you wanted to keep the best side of you in our memories and let 'him' truly die, right? "

Nuo Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Because he was indeed worried at first, worried that when everything was over and he came back, he would no longer be the person loved by the gods and could always create miracles.

So Nuoyan's initial thought was that he really wanted 'him' to die in the battle with Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, and then go to the Hall of Valor.

In this way, 'he' will remain in everyone's best memories.

But after coming back, he experienced a series of recent events, which made Nuoyan understand that it was the past that he couldn't let go of, and it was the life he had truly lived.

Through Jason, Hera actually saw everything, so at this moment, she couldn't help but caressed Nuoyan's hair lovingly, and then said: "So when I felt funny and angry, I understood that you didn't To deceive us, you are just confused, a little tired, and... embarked on a new journey."

Just like in the Age of Gods, Promise's journey here ended, and the Pegasus, which flapped its holy wings, took him to the next place.

After realizing this, Hera was no longer angry, because he had not stopped yet, and as his goddess, Hera would continue to protect him.

Well, you said Athena is his goddess?

Heck, forget about the little details!

"In fact, when I realized that you were about to embark on a journey again, I was actually a little happy, because in this way, I could make up for my original regret!"

After hearing what Hera said, Nuo Yan raised his head and couldn't help but look at her with doubt.
