Be proactive.
So, come and find the Shield of Medusa.
Hilde also hopes to investigate Athena's situation.
"With the Shield of Medusa, Sissi will be able to defeat a strong enemy if she encounters one again."
"It's hard to say."
Hilde smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"A shield cannot significantly increase my strength."
"What if we add another weapon?"
Hilde was about to answer when she realized that the voice behind her was a little strange. She turned around and found Artemis standing behind her with a smile, looking at her.
"Master Artemis!?"
"It's great to see you found the Shield of Medusa."
Artemis saw the Shield of Medusa on the side.
She walked over and gently stroked the shield.
"When Athena and I chatted before, I would often touch Medusa's head. After all, these snake-like hairs are so amazing. After Athena left, I thought I would never see them again in my lifetime."
"Lady Artemis."
Hilde stood up and asked anxiously:
"Why do you think I can find the Shield of Medusa?"
"Just feel it."
Artemis smiled and said:
"I think you can."
"That's too casual a reason."
The seventh tune, the tenth verse, is called Hilde's Spear
Artemis looked to the side.
“That’s my instinct.”
"what?"
"Look, so many people have gathered around you, Sophia, Dione, and this powerful demigod from Persia. Even though I asked Tomyris to come here, in her heart, she has always believed that being able to help you defeat Apollo is a very valuable thing. Think about it, why do so many people choose to trust you? Why do so many people firmly believe that the path you are taking is the right one?"
"..."
Hilde probably understood.
"Yeah, I understand."
"It's good that you understand. My ability to judge people should not be bad."
"At least better than your brother."
"Haha, maybe."
When Artemis said this, she remembered her purpose.
"Oh, I forgot just now that you found the Shield of Medusa, which is a great help to you. However, I have something else for you. With these two things, you will not be at a disadvantage even if you fight against a god of Apollo's level alone."
"what?"
"I had Hephaestus forge this weapon."
Hearing this, Hilde couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Master Hephaestus, made for me?"
"That's impossible. Hephaestus doesn't know you exist. To be precise, I used some deceptive means to make a spear for you. This spear is Hephaestus's masterpiece. The workmanship and materials are better than the spear in Ares' hand. So, with such a weapon, even if another god comes down to earth and tries to attack you, you can fight back."
"This……"
This is no longer a high-end gift.
A divine weapon crafted by Hephaestus himself.
Moreover, it is a better weapon than Ares.
Hilde even felt that it was a waste for him to hold such a weapon.
"I, I really don't know how to thank you."
"It's okay. Remember, I helped you because I think you can bring peace and stability to this chaotic world. Athena and everyone else chose you for a reason. Although I don't quite understand it, I feel that I have to help you." Artemis looked at the shield next to her and said with a smile, "Look, the same is true for the shield. Other gods have been looking for it for so long but couldn't find it. Why did you find it? This shows that Aegis chose you."
"Aegis chose me..."
Hilde looked at the shield.
So, you can find it yourself.
Not because of anything else, but because of its own choice...
Hilde felt an indescribable surprise.
"So, you must make good use of the power of Aegis and the weapons I gave you."
Artemis snapped her fingers, and a spear shining with golden light appeared directly in Artemis's hand. Suddenly, the dim hut became brighter because of the appearance of the spear.
Hield hasn't touched it yet.
You can feel the oppressive feeling coming towards you.
That's not a joke.
This spear possesses terrifying divine power. No one knows how Hephaestus did it, but he is worthy of being the God of Craftsmen since he can make a weapon so terrifying.
"Can I really accept it?"
"sure.."
Artemis held up the spear.
Passed it to Hilde.
"From today on, this spear is yours."
"Um……"
Hilde took a deep breath.
I am the owner of this spear.
So Hilde took courage, stretched out her hand, and grasped the hilt of the spear.
The strong impact made Hilde's brain feel dizzy, but then, as if her nerves spread to the spear, the spear quickly merged with Hilde, as if it had become an extension of Hilde's senses. This was a very strange feeling. Hilde also had this feeling when she touched the Medusa Shield and injected her divine power into it to activate Medusa.
"How does it feel?"
“It’s so wonderful…”
This is the magic weapon.
The weapons of the gods.
Before, when Hildre used ordinary weapons, every time she used divine power, she was actually simply releasing her divine power. But with this spear and Athena's Aegis, it was completely different. The reason why artifacts are artifacts is that they have divine power themselves, and at the same time, they also have the ability to amplify divine power and become more threatening.
Therefore, Hilde's abundant divine power, when combined with these two artifacts, would be like adding wings to a tiger.
"It doesn't have a name yet."
Artemis couldn't help but laugh at Hilde's excitement.
"Let me give you a name."
"Okay."
Named by Artemis.
This is completely worthy of the identity of this spear.
"I think that since this spear belongs to you, it is your exclusive weapon and should be named after you. So, if you encounter an enemy in the future, you can proudly raise this spear and loudly announce that this is - the Spear of Hildre."
"Hilde's Spear."
Hilde repeated.
“When time passes and everything is buried, I wonder which hero will get the spear. By then, people will remember Hilde, the legendary monarch of the Byzantine Empire, and the spear of Hilde, the legendary hero who protected Byzantium and the world. I wonder how people hundreds of years from now will react when they see this epic.”
"Who knows."
Hilde looked at the spear carefully.
"But I will cherish it."
"That's fine. I hope it can play its due role in your hands."
"Most definitely."
With the Spear of Hilder and the Shield of Medusa, Hilder is now fully armed.
In the present Greek world.
There shouldn't be any oracle who can fight against Hilde.
Even if she were to meet a god like Apollo again, Hilde would still be completely confident.
However, the strength has become even stronger.
For Hilde, it also means greater responsibility.
Especially the pressure I felt from Artemis's mouth.
This made Hilde even more worried about what might happen next.
(Today I will only update two chapters. I went cycling today and rode 100km. I almost died after returning home. I have no energy left to write. So, if I can recover tomorrow, I will update. Please give me monthly votes!!!)
The first section of the eighth tune is from the goddess's instructions
After handing the spear to Hilde.
Artemis turned around and looked at Tomyris beside her.
And Tomyris also thought of something.
She immediately took her silver longbow from behind her back.
"Lord Artemis, this is the Moonlit Silver Bow you gave me."
"Will you give it back to me?"
“Of course.” Tomyris raised her head nervously, “However, when I was fighting with Apollo, this bow was taken away by Apollo once, so please forgive me!”
Tomyris knelt on one knee and held the bow high.
"This is your weapon, your artifact."
"It's okay, as long as I can get it back."
Artemis smiled as she looked Tomyris over.
"Besides, just take it."
"But……"
"Isn't that the case with Hilde's Shield of Medusa? Originally, this shield belonged to Zeus, then it was passed to Athena, and now it's Hilde's weapon again. Isn't this telling me one thing?"
"Master Artemis?"
"This world needs inheritance."
Artemis smiled and looked at Hilde and the others.
"It's like we inherited the throne from the Titans."
"But……"
"Take it."
