He is the one who can bring glory to Hera, but he is also the one who can bring glory to you!
Facing Clotho in front of him, the goddess of fate gave him a prophecy.
Even Athena was silent for a moment, and once again looked into the distance at the young man who was being watched and supported by the people of the Kingdom of Iolcus.
Soft black hair, clear and bright emerald green pupils... Although compared with most heroes of this era, Theo does seem a little fragile, his artistic and intellectual image still makes him stand out from the crowd.
"I see." After a long while, Athena chuckled again and didn't say much, as if she didn't care but also as if she took it to heart.
After the sacrifice ceremony, Jason, Theo and Hera came to a temple.
The frightened believers led the way for them, and the three of them said nothing along the way.
Although Jason seemed confused about what was happening and was very curious, the person in front of him was the noble Queen of Heaven after all, so he naturally did not dare to ask more questions.
To be exact, he is now scared to death. After all, he actually dared to talk to the queen in such a loud voice on that stage!
As for the promise, he naturally would not speak it casually. After all, he knew the reason behind the farce very well.
Although the impromptu performance on the stage just now avoided the worst outcome and put everything back on track relatively perfectly.
But in the end, Hera still died a lot...
Just as Theo was thinking this, he suddenly noticed Hera's gaze and subconsciously turned his head to look. After the two looked at each other, he saw Hera immediately withdrew her gaze in panic and avoided his gaze.
In response, Theo could only smile bitterly.
It seems that it is impossible to become a follower of Hera... Theo couldn't help but think so in his heart.
The journey of the Argo and the Golden Fleece was undoubtedly the biggest reason for promising to follow Jason down the mountain.
And as mentioned before, Hera is the second purpose of Theo.
After all, this is Ancient Greece, the Age of Gods, an era where gods and humans coexist. And in this era, if you are a hero, it is almost impossible to spare these gods.
And with gods, it would be easier to participate in various legends.
Therefore, finding a god for yourself is a natural way of thinking.
From Hera's anger, it was almost impossible to choose her.
Now he can only hope he can meet Athena, Hestia or other preferred Gods.
Just as Theo's thoughts were drifting, the frightened believers had already brought them into the temple.
When they arrived at the foot of the hall with the magnificent statue of the Queen of Heaven, Hera gave a look and the believers immediately left in dismay, leaving only the two of them and the goddess.
At this point, Hera calmed down her emotions and tried to ignore her promise. She finally turned around, fixed her eyes on Jason, and said in a neutral tone: "Do you know why I should help you?"
"…Because Pelias used despicable means to seize the throne of my father, and he ignored your existence, the great queen of heaven, and polluted the temple."
Jason gave a very standard answer, while secretly glancing at Theo.
Another possibility is that there is something fishy between you and Theo!
Jason was not stupid, so he naturally noticed that something was wrong between Theo and Hera, but because he was not stupid, he certainly would not say it out loud on the spot.
"There are reasons like that, but the main reason is the prophecy of the goddess of fate."
Hera pretended not to notice Jason's look and continued in a calm but majestic voice: "She said that you are the one who can bring me glory in the future, so I am looking forward to your success, Jason. I will help you take back the throne that belongs to you."
"Yes, great goddess Hera!" Hearing Hera's promise, Jason, with an ecstatic face, quickly replied: "I will definitely fulfill my mission and live up to your trust, goddess Hera!"
"Yeah." Hera nodded slightly, her expression still calm.
She obviously didn't care much about Jason's promise.
Then her gaze 'inadvertently' fell on Theo again.
Looking at him with his head down and not speaking, a hint of complexity flashed across Hera's face.
She opened her mouth slightly, but in the end said nothing.
By this moment, Hera naturally understood everything, and felt that Theo did that for her. After all, Theo did save her face, and even wanted to attract a wave of believers for her, making her a big sensation.
So Hera was naturally very happy. Moreover, she knew in her heart that the incident itself could not be blamed on Theo. It was she who acted on her own and recognized the wrong person.
But even so, as a God, she couldn't bring herself to face Theo again when she thought of the embarrassment she had experienced on the stage.
So after opening her mouth speechlessly, Hera had no choice but to remain silent.
As for Theo he had already prepared for, he did not feel too disappointed. After all, everything was obviously progressing on the right track, and he could still board the Argo.
So I thought there was no need to make the relationship with Hera too stiff.
Just as Theo raised his head, ready to act as a foil to Jason, and said goodbye to him and left...
"My dear Queen, I'm sorry to bother you."
Along with the sudden soft sound, the petite goddess of fate, Clotho, wearing a white robe, slowly walked out from behind the statue of the Queen of Heaven.
"Clotho?" Hera looked at her who had suddenly arrived. After a moment of hesitation, she asked in some confusion, "Why are you here?"
Clotho?
Just when Jason was still wondering who she was, Theo instantly knew who she was because he had taken literature classes under Chiron for three years.
So he looked at her with some surprise.
Look at the goddess of fate who controls the future of all life!
"I came here to apologize to you, the great Queen of Heaven, and to correct a mistake that my sister Atropos made that day..."
As he spoke, Clotho stretched out his hand and grabbed three silk threads from the air.
The three ends of the thread were Hera, Jason and Theo.
And because Clotho used his power to reveal the thread of fate, they could clearly see that the thread of their two gods had actually been intertwined together.
Seeing this, Theo, Hera and the others were slightly stunned and had not yet fully reacted.
"Although the future that my sister Atropos saw that day was correct, this future hero Jason is indeed someone who can bring glory to you, the Queen of Heaven, but..."
As he spoke, Clotho gently pulled out Jason's thread.
But when the thread of fate left only Nuoyan and Hera, they were still intertwined and not separated.
"Theo... He is also someone who can bring glory to you, the Queen!"
...
Afternoon,
After Hera and other gods left, she also went to meet Jason's uncle Pelias. Although Pelias' face was livid, he did not want to see the two of them at all.
But because of Hera, he had to force himself to greet him with an ugly smile, which made Jason feel extremely comfortable.
In the corridor of the palace of the Kingdom of Iolcus, everything has returned to peace.
"So..."
Jason put his arm around Theo's shoulders and said to him with a wink: "Theo, what is going on between you and that great goddess?"
Theo glanced at him and said, "Do you still want to live?"
"Of course, my future is bright."
"The great Queen Mother promised me that I would regain the throne in the future, and the goddess of fate also predicted that I would be able to do something earth-shattering. How could I not want to live!"
Looking at Jason holding his head proudly and looking smug, Theo wanted to beat. But unfortunately his strength was too weak.
"Then don't ask too much. The more you know, the faster you'll die!" After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Jason's promise, whose expression froze. After shaking him off, he stretched out his hand slightly and took out the golden Heroic Spirit Class Card from the air.
Nuoyan had a premonition that the quality of his heroic spirit...had definitely improved!
[ Name: Theo
Age: 16
Era: Ancient Greek Gods
Identity: Traveler
Heroic Spirit Occupation: Unconfirmed
Legend of Heroes Event:
He met Theseus, the future king of Athens, and together they became disciples of Chiron, the Centaur sage.
After being mistaken for Jason, he completed the trial of Queen Hera and won her love.
Then, he showed amazing adaptability in an almost desperate situation, and pulled the situation back from nearly out of control with his own strength. He became the person who would bring glory to Hera as predicted by Clotho, the goddess of fate!
Heroic Spirit Quality Improvement: E (Slightly Famous) ]
Afternoon,
In a single room in the royal palace, Theo looked at the Heroic Spirit Class Card in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, just as I thought, the quality has improved... Should we say it's worthy of the Age of Gods? Taking advantage of the gods is indeed the best way to improve the quality of Heroic Spirits!"
"I have robbed at least a hundred thieves along the way, and even taught them to sing my legend, but I didn't even increase my legend points!" Just as Theo was muttering to himself and feeling a little indignant about it.
"Theo, I'm going out. Do you want to go with me?"
Jason pushed the door open and walked in with a high-spirited look on his face.
At this time, he changed into a gorgeous set of clothes. I have to say that Jason looked really good, a very typical image of a blond-haired and blue-eyed Western prince.
"What are you going out for?" Theo looked at him with some confusion, and at the same time did not put away the Heroic Spirit Creation Card in his hand.
Because Theo had already tested this card, and only he, as the host, could see it, and no one else could.
"Of course, I want to experience the customs and practices of my country!" Jason said to Theo huu with a proud look on his face, "Theo, you don't know, I just sent some people out, and found that they suddenly became very enthusiastic towards me, calling me the future king."
"And many beautiful girls are flirting with me..."
"If you want, I can introduce a girl to you."
Hearing this, Theo instantly lost interest. He put away the card in his hand and said, "I'm not interested. Go and play by yourself... Oh, don't play too much. Don't forget that Queen Hera is watching you all the time."
Not to mention he preferred love to lust, just the fact that he would die early was enough to stop him from being together with someone.
When Jason heard this, his expression froze for a moment, and then he muttered a few words and walked away with a disappointed look on his face.
And as Theo quietly watched his departing back, she couldn't help but think about his future life.
In the original history, Jason passed Hera's test with the help of the goddess of wisdom and became his believer and favorite.
Then Hera did her best to give Jason everything he wanted.
Whether it was gathering almost all the great heroes of this era, or asking Athena to help build the Argo that would never sink in the sea, or the ten-year sea voyage, there was undoubtedly the shadow of Hera.
And that period of time was also the time when Jason was at his most ambitious.
All until he retrieved the Golden Fleece and returned to the kingdom.
In the end, Jason brought the Golden Fleece back, but his uncle changed his mind and did not give the kingdom to Jason.
If Hera were still alive, his uncle Pelias would certainly not have the courage to break the oath witnessed by Queen Hera, so Hera would have abandoned Jason at that time.
Because Jason betrayed Hera...or to be more precise, he violated the thing that Hera could not tolerate the most.
Jason betrayed Medea, his wife.
Betrayed the marriage!
You should know that the marriage between Jason and Medea was actually arranged and arranged by Hera herself!
Hera is the goddess of chastity in ancient Greek mythology, the absolute defender of monogamy, and the goddess of marriage and fertility.
Therefore, her taboos are very obvious and she cannot tolerate such betrayal.
At the same time, this is also the reason why Hera mostly appears as a vicious villain in ancient Greek mythology.
In fact, in ancient Greek mythology, Hera's reputation was not very good, and she left behind many evil images.
Whether it was torturing Hercules or turning his love rival into a mad snake woman, using magic to cast a terrible curse on the country, bringing various natural disasters and suffocating plagues to turn it into a living hell, etc.
It is enough to see that this queen has a bad temper.
But even so, when Theo was taking classes with Chiron and asked him what he thought of the Olympian gods, Chiron still told Theo.
Hera is a gentle and docile goddess.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand that all the evil things she did actually had a huge premise, that is, the king of gods Zeus...
Jason had been fooling around for a long time, but Hera had actually tolerated him and turned a blind eye until they got married. It was not until he betrayed Medea that Hera was completely disappointed and left him.
Thus is also one of the reason he wanted to believe in Hera.
After all, Hera's biggest taboo is that one must never violate marriage.
But Theo had no intention of getting married in this era. His purpose had always been extremely pure, so pure that Chiron was unwilling to let him go down the mountain.
After all, how could a person who is determined to die and hopes to die heroically think of showing mercy!
"Besides, this is Type-Moon. Who knows where we might meet again in the future, in a Shura Field or something like that...hiss, as expected, a woman can only affect the speed at which I draw my sword!"
Theo couldn't help but shudder when he thought about how if he messed around, a bunch of women would come after him with knives in the future.
He didn't want to be stabbed to death.
"I originally thought it was hopeless, but because of the prophecy of Clotho, the goddess of fate, I think I still have a chance..."
Just as Theo was muttering and thinking about these things, Jason left and he felt bored for a while in this deserted room.
He turned around and took out a paintbrush from his luggage.
This is no ordinary paintbrush, but a gift from the wise sage Chiron.
It was mentioned at the beginning that Theo was extremely talented in art, and his greatest talent was painting.
When Chiron realized that Theo's painting skills had surpassed his own, he gave him the paintbrush.
It does not require dye, just a little water to draw the color that Theo needs... Yes, it is a magic weapon, and it is also the only magic weapon that Theo currently has!
To be precise, this was actually Chiron's graduation gift in terms of painting. Of course, Chiron would never admit this in order to prevent Theo from using this as an excuse to go down the mountain.
Then Theo took out the canvas that he had brought with him when he went down the mountain from his luggage.
After going out and asking the servants to find a support and fetching some water, Theo sat by the window and began to think about the canvas under the bright afternoon sun.
What should I draw...
Oh, by the way, if I want to get Hera's attention, I can probably make a vow to her like in many stories. Let me think...how about I just say at that time that I am willing to dedicate everything to her and therefore do not plan to get married?
He was originally thinking about painting. But while his mind was wandering, his hand naturally picked up the paintbrush, dipped it in water, and began to paint on the canvas.
And thinking about it carefully, I seem to have forgotten one thing all along, that is, if it is the Heroic Spirit, there is another very important thing.
That is... a treasure!
Yes, come to think of it, I still haven't found my treasure yet!
Legends will eventually be sublimated into Noble Phantasms. Are there any legends in my collection that can be sublimated into Noble Phantasms? Well, it seems that there really aren't any?!
Oh my god, that was a close call, luckily I didn't die.
If I died and found out that my Noble Gear was my second-rate archery skills, I would really cry!
If I think about it this way, for the sake of the Noble Phantasm, whether it's the Twelve Trials of Hercules or the Calydonian Boar, I really have to find a way to sneak in...
With the paintbrush in hand, he gently outlined the figure of a person on the canvas.
That was some long silver hair that fell to the waist.
And those golden eyes that seemed to be able to see everything in the world.
At the same time,
"Huh?"
Athena, who was still staying in the kingdom and had not left yet, suddenly raised her head and cast a puzzled look towards the palace.
"Who is calling me?"
In the Age of Gods, do not call out the names of gods casually, and do not miss them too much, because they can really hear and feel it!
"Hey, wait, why do I feel the mark I left behind? Could this feeling be..."
Athena blinked, and the next moment a look of surprise appeared in her eyes, she disappeared from the spot.
Then, she appeared behind Nuoyan.
Coming behind him, just as Athena was about to say hello to Theo, she immediately covered her mouth.
Because she saw Theo sitting by the window, facing the afternoon sun, with a faint smile on his lips, waving the pen in his hand calmly and gracefully.
He seemed casual, yet serious.
After all, Theo didn't even notice her arrival.
At the same time, she also saw her own image slowly appearing in the painting.
Exquisite painting skills... Athena blinked slightly at this, and then looked at Nuoyan with more interest.
Whether it was Theo's act of turning the tide this morning or the prophecy told to her by the goddess of fate Clotho, it undoubtedly aroused great interest in Athena.
And at this moment, she discovered the other side of Theo.
So she didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched him draw herself quietly.
When Theo, whose mind was wandering, came back to his senses, he looked at the goddess with silver hair and golden eyes, who had already been painted more than halfway, and was slightly stunned.
"Why did I draw her... Is it because she left such a deep impression on me when I first saw her, or is it because she was the first goddess I saw?"
Athena, who was covering her mouth behind him, heard Theo mumbling softly and was about to pat him on the shoulder gently.
But suddenly I found that Theo's expression changed and he frowned seriously.
Theo looked at the goddess in the painting, the goddess who was smiling and looked extremely gentle, and at this moment he suddenly felt a strong sense of incongruity!
"...wrong."
What's wrong?
Athena tilted her head.
"This is not her." Theo said to himself.
Then, under Athena's puzzled gaze, he waved his hand and erased the portrait on the canvas with the brush in his hand.
And this time, I devoted my whole heart to the painting in front of me.
At this moment, Theo painted very slowly.
But Athena did not feel bored. Instead, she stared at the gradually completed painting with her mouth slowly opening.
As Theo got more and more into the state, he had already forgotten the concept of time.
The goddess in the painting held a shield in her left hand and raised a spear in her right hand.
That pure white dress is now covered with golden armor.
On the canvas, the dawn is depicted as the night is torn apart by the light.
In the painting, she is standing alone outside a magnificent temple that has just been illuminated by the sun.
She lowered her head, her golden eyes staring at the world.
She was still smiling, but unlike her previous image of a gentle goddess, at this moment, her gaze towards the world was still gentle, but more full of pride and confidence. Her golden eyes saw through everything in the world, as if she had everything under control.
The breeze blew across her face, causing her waist-length, silver hair beneath her helmet to flutter slightly in the wind.
The light of dawn adorned her body, like the brightest pearl in the sea of stars.
Along time,
When the afterglow of the setting sun falls on Nuoyan.
He finally put down his pen.
Theo stared at the figure in the painting for a long time...
"Athena, the goddess of wisdom..." He whispered Athena's name.
At this moment, Theo finally knew who the goddess he met for the first time was.
At the same time,
"Um."
The goddess responded softly and lowered her head. She chuckled beside his ear and said, "Yes, it's me."
"You really give me surprises time and time again, Theo."
...
