Loki squinted at Freya, "You wanton goddess L, the only thing you really cheat about is 'treasure appraisal'."

"Huh? Didn't I already say that?"

Freya deliberately acted like a 'naive airhead'... or you could say she was just being herself?

In short, she tilted her head and chuckled, saying, "My encounter with 'those two children' was really just a 'chance'~"

"嘁~"

Loki couldn't help but click his tongue. "If what you're saying is true, wouldn't that be even more outrageous?"

"You already had those 'eyes,' and now you're even this lucky?"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

"I wasn't praising you at all, you're terrible."

……

On the other side, Hermes and Artemis, who had returned to Orario from the Great Sea of ​​Trees some time ago, looked once again at the god of craftsmanship.

"Hephaestus, if we were here (in the lower realm)... could you repair the 'Arrow of Orion'?"

The Moon Goddess looked at the divinely crafted weapon on the table and asked this question.

At this point, upon closer inspection, one would discover that cracks had appeared on the dark crystal into which the arrow had penetrated.

This is precisely the reason why Hephaestus just asserted that this divinely crafted weapon could only be used once more.

If I had to say...

In the original trajectory of the future of the current world, the famous 'Two Hundred Million Blade' was also a weapon created by God.

It will progress along with the holder, constantly evolving from Lv.1.

The 'Orion Arrow' before us can be seen as the complete form of the 'Hestia Blade'.

It has reached its 'peak'.

Even with this level of weaponry, it still couldn't withstand the backlash from the 'world'.

at the moment……

"If we don't use 'divine power,' it definitely can't be repaired."

Hephaestus sighed helplessly, "Speaking of which, Artemis, are you really going to give this divinely crafted weapon to the Twin Stars?"

"This is a weapon that can truly 'kill gods'."

The words had barely left his mouth...

"Heroes who achieve 'great things' must receive the praise and rewards they deserve; otherwise, they are not 'heroes,' but 'slaves to public opinion.'"

Freya stopped arguing with Loki. She narrowed her eyes and interjected protectively, "Hephaestus, we've known each other for so many years, don't do anything unnecessary~"

"..."

The red-haired goddess is having a headache.

She was a good friend of Freya and Loki in private... although not as close as she was to Hestia, she knew Freya's personality to some extent.

and so……

"Don't get so agitated."

Hephaestus explained helplessly, "I think that if this thing is left in the care of your children, it might cause them endless trouble."

"You wouldn't want to see those two siblings being targeted by a bunch of disgusting guys... right?"

"..."

This time, Freya remained silent.

However, at this moment...

“That’s your shortsightedness, Hephaestus.”

Hermes, as one of the parties involved (gods) in this event, expressed his opinion: "Since he is a 'hero,' he will naturally face all sorts of challenges."

"Perhaps this will actually allow [Twin Stars] to go further and reach even greater heights..."

"Shut up."

Loki looked annoyed. "If you want to have some fun, just say so, but you'd better know when to stop."

She pointed to Freya standing to the side, "Just a heads up, if you piss off this wanton goddess, I'd love to see her throw a tantrum."

"Oh, I'm not that scary~"

Freya habitually raised her right hand to cup her cheek, smiling very kindly.

Hermes shrank back... he was frightened.

At this moment...

"Since the 'Arrow of Orion' can only be used once more, let's let the [Twin Stars] use it."

Artemis, as the owner of this divine weapon, concluded that "not only are they familiar with Orion (Barbara), but... well, it should be said that nowadays, in the entire lower realm, this divine weapon can only be of its greatest effectiveness in their hands."

"Furthermore, it is safest for them to keep it safe until I return to the Celestial Realm and can take the 'Arrow of Orion' with me."

indeed.

As the moon goddess said, having the 'strongest' protect this divinely created weapon is the safest option.

Even considering the issue of 'safety' from another perspective...

Honestly, if it were someone else, they might worry about whether the story of "the dragon slayer becomes the dragon" would play out.

But those two...

"Speaking of which, are those two kids still busy working on 'that thing' lately?"

Seeing that the person in question had made up their mind, Hephaestus said no more and started talking about other things.

Once the topic was started...

"Yes, 'that matter' has already been approved by the 'guild'."

Freya continued, "In this time of year, with everything in ruins and everyone feeling heavy-hearted, we should think of a way to comfort those who are down because of their 'loss'."

"I think the ideas proposed by Sora and Hikari are very meaningful."

“This time I agree with Freya’s opinion.”

Loki shrugged and sighed softly. "The situation at my home (within my clan) is also a bit bad. Finn and the others haven't said much on the surface, but it's clear... they're all putting on a brave face."

"I need to find a suitable opportunity to properly vent those negative emotions."

This conversation between the riddle-makers went on...

"Uh, what are you all talking about?"

Hermes suddenly felt superfluous.

He has been busy taking care of his surviving children lately and has not been running around much lately.

As a result, even their once-strongest skill, 'intelligence gathering,' has fallen behind.

All I can say is that the difference between Hermes and those evil gods is simply that... he still has 'things' he cares about.

For example: Miss Tool.

Currently, Asphie's injuries have stabilized, and Barbara has even repaired her damaged body... cough cough, because of this, the Hermes Familia is now burdened with a huge debt.

Barbara clearly had no idea about this kind of thing, but Ling Shu was different...

The latter was very unhappy when he saw that the certain "God of Entertainment" was trying to get something for nothing and was just trying to get away with it.

and so……

"Either you pay a hundred million and leave immediately after settling the bill, or... do me a small favor (run an errand)."

Well, since he was being beholden to someone who had taken his money, Hermes had no choice but to agree.

He also wanted to build a good relationship with the "Twin Stars," so he couldn't afford to offend anyone at this time.

Moreover, if we were to repay kindness with enmity now, it would be difficult to justify our actions to our own children.

In short, it was precisely under these circumstances...

"Huh? You're usually the most well-informed person, how come you don't know yet?"

Loki said with a look of disdain, "The Freya siblings are preparing to hold a new kind of celebration."

"I think it was called..."

"Sea Lantern Festival!"

Chapter 189 I thought I was just an observer...

For the people of Liyue who live on the continent of Teyvat, the 'Sea Lantern Festival' is a special festival of great significance.

It is usually held on the first full moon night of the new year and is a grand celebration in Liyue Harbor, one of the seven kingdoms of the land.

Legend has it that as this period approaches, the people of Liyue Harbor... every household will spontaneously begin making 'Lanterns' a few days in advance, writing down their wishes and hanging them below. On the night of the 'Lantern Festival', they will let the lanterns, carrying their hopes and longings, rise into the night sky.

At this time, the bright lights floating under the night sky and on the ocean will guide the souls of the fallen heroes back to the homeland they once loved so much and swore to protect with their lives.

Perhaps they will see the happy scene they have now and know that their past efforts were worthwhile.

And at the same time...

Heroes should not be forgotten.

Because that would be an injustice to the deceased heroes and a desecration that ignores their past contributions.

Moreover, if this continues, it will have a significant negative impact on people today.

Nobody wants to be a 'hero' anymore.

Even... no one aspires to be a 'hero'.

This is a terrible thing.

Therefore, Ling Shu believes that heroes should be remembered.
