The Name of the Goddess of the Hunt Is Weeping [2-in-1] (Continued)

The stars twinkled in the cloudless sky, and a flickering flame became the only sign of life in this sea of trees.

The location was the same campsite that the "Artemis Familia" had been using for the past few days, since they were on their way back and the surrounding trees had already been cleared away.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the camp was already different from that of a few days ago.

The sounds of lively conversation, the rustling of supplies being prepared, and the sizzling of meat over the fire filled the entire camp.

Everyone is busy with their own things; no one is idle.

However, it's quite different from what it was a few days ago.

A few days ago, every member of the team was exhausted and anxious. The lack of progress in the mission and the vague sense of threat made them feel heartbroken.

But now everyone has a relaxed and carefree smile on their face and in their heart. The instant release of pressure makes them especially happy.

Of course, for the "Artemis Familia," joy came one after another.

Not only did they successfully complete the mission without incident, but they also managed to seize leverage over Lady Artemis.

Just now, when Artemis was reprimanding them, they successfully used the same excuse to leave Artemis speechless.

Moreover, in their eyes, Artemis was already close to being completely smitten, so the ban on romance within their Familia would surely be lifted soon.

However, while everyone was busy with their own things, two people had already secretly slipped out of the camp and arrived at a clear pool of water not far from the camp.

"Oh dear! It seems William is getting impatient!"

Hermes squatted by the edge of the pool, looking at the shimmering water, and spoke to William in his usual flippant Harmonization.

"Well! There are still quite a few things I want to know!"

"But first and foremost, let's talk about the origin of this weapon!"

William stood on a shrine behind Hermes, and as he spoke, he made a grasping motion in the air with his hand.

The starlight rapidly gathered in William's hand, and the next moment, the silver-gray spear that had fought alongside William that afternoon suddenly appeared in William's outstretched hand.

"Wow! It's already completely bound to me so quickly!"

Hermes also frowned in surprise!

"Yeah, the gun just disappeared the moment I got back to the tent."

"When I came to my senses, it was as if the gun existed in my blood. Whenever I wanted to use it, I just had to imagine its appearance to summon it."

William's tightly clenched hand slowly loosened, and the silver-gray spear, as if no longer supported by any substance, vanished into the night sky with the wind.

To be honest, when this situation first occurred, William's first reaction wasn't fear or anything like that.

His first reaction was ecstasy, unparalleled ecstasy!

Such a powerful artifact was directly integrated into his body and recognized him as its master; how could he not be overjoyed?

Keep in mind that just before the artifact recognized him as its master, he was still pondering how to keep it with him!

Although it is unclear which of the two gods this divine artifact actually belonged to, since such a powerful weapon had fallen into his hands, there was absolutely no reason for him to return it so easily.

He had originally planned to use his achievement in eliminating "Antares" to exchange for the right to use the gun!

When he goes to another world, he won't come back for the time being, and this loan will become permanent.

But now that the artifact has recognized him as its master, even a god wouldn't easily take it back.

"That's really fast! Have you noticed any changes in your body?"

The male god asked more questions with great interest, after all, this was the first time that a human from the lower realm had received the recognition of a divine artifact, and there were many aspects worth learning about.

When William heard his crush ask this, he pondered for a moment before answering truthfully.

"Although it's been a short time, judging from this short period, it should have been a comprehensive improvement in my physical fitness!"

Although there is no accurate data to support his claim, William, who has a very strong control over his body, was able to make this conclusion simply by observing himself.

"Just as I thought!"

Hermes nodded in agreement!

"What's wrong?"

His attitude naturally piqued William's curiosity!

"The gun that William is using now is a gift from Artemis, you've already guessed that, haven't you!"

William nodded in agreement with Hermes' words.

He had, of course, made his suspicions, given Artemis's unusual state, which made it hard not to speculate about her.

"So, how much do you know about the legend of Artemis?"

Hermes looked at William with a half-smile, a test brewing in William mind.

William was naturally unafraid. With his vast knowledge, he had already memorized all the myths and legends in his mind. As for the most widely circulated Greek mythology, he was certainly familiar with it.

Artemis is one of the twelve Olympian gods in Greek mythology.

"She is a renowned goddess of chastity in the heavens."

"She is the goddess who governs hunting, wilderness, wild beasts, mountains, caves, forests, archery, childbirth, fertility, and the moon."

"She was the daughter of the great gods Zeus and Leto..."

William recited the history of Artemis from the mythological records, speaking fluently and accurately.

"William, you really know a lot about mythology!"

"But don't worry about these parent-child relationships, because we are all born and raised by nature, so there's no such thing as a parent-child relationship between us!"

Hermes waved his hand, stopping William from continuing his recitation, and then went on to speak.

"And what do you know about the matter between Artemis and Orion?"

Which version are you referring to?

Hermes' question hit the nail on the head.

There are many versions of the love-hate relationship between Artemis and Orion, but the ending is always the same: Orion is tragically killed by Artemis with an arrow.

"Is there even a question? Of course, it's the version where he successfully falls in love with Artemis!"
