The Warrior of Love

Since entering Happy Street, prostitutes have been constantly inviting Bell to sex, some even offering to do it for free... but Bell naturally refused.

Well, strictly speaking it wasn't a rejection, it just "ran away" like a frightened rabbit.

Faced with all kinds of graceful bodies, this innocent little boy obviously couldn't stand it. His face kept blushing, his eyes were always looking at the ground, he didn't dare to look at other people's faces, and he walked stumblingly and hurriedly.

If Jiang Liu hadn't protected him, he would have run away to somewhere unknown and been captured by some whore.

Come to think of it, if Jiang Liu had not undergone a major change in appearance recently and still had the same body that was not much stronger than Bill's, he would probably have been treated the same way - thinking about it, he felt a little regretful.

"H-Hercules-kun?!"

Bell, who had lipstick marks on his face from who knows when, desperately held Jiang Liu's hand.

"I, what are we here for? If you need anything, can you hurry up? Let's go back early!"

Hurry up? Are you looking down on me? Since I'm here, of course I won't go back until dawn.

Jiang Liu curled his lips and smiled, pointing to the end of the street, which was also the center of the red-light district.

"Our target is right there, Bell-kun, let's make a scene to our heart's content."

The Ishtar family is a strange family in Pleasure Street, the city of desire of the rulers, and almost all of its members are prostitutes.

But although they are all prostitutes, their strength should not be underestimated.

Even if the Amazon warriors are removed, the overall strength of this clan is still very terrifying. This is not just about how much territory they occupy or how much property they have, but also about their network of contacts.

Adventurers are in a profession that requires risking their lives, so one can imagine how stressful it is. Gods - especially male gods - are basically bored to a certain extent, so the existence of Happy Street is a salvation for them in a sense.

Just from the crowds of people that almost occupy the entire street and make the night as prosperous as day, one can see how important this place is in Orario.

Whether they are experienced adventurers or the male gods of their clans, they all come here to have fun.

Although it is impossible to cover the entire Orario (after all, there are still many people who are chaste), at least two-thirds of the male adventurers and male gods have been here...

If you want to do something to the Ishtar clan, you will undoubtedly encounter a lot of unexpected resistance.

With such a huge potential power, it is no wonder that Ishtar dared to challenge Freya's authority...

In this city, there is no one foolish enough to regard the entire Ishtar family and the entire Happy Street as the enemy.

——But unfortunately, Jiang Liu came.

His target was the clan's headquarters, the bedroom of the Queen of the Night.

Just like many adventurers and male gods who come here, his goal is also to have a good time!

Chapter 183: I just want the top card!

[Step back, evildoer, who allowed you to stand in front of me?

I feel extremely uncomfortable just thinking about my appearance being seen by a lowly person like you. Cockroaches should be like cockroaches, hide in warm and humid corners - never show up in the daylight again! 】

Tsk, brought back some unpleasant memories.

The brown-skinned goddess of beauty Ishtar stood by the window, holding a golden pipe in her hand, and a light green mist slowly came out from her lips.

Ever since she heard that name from Aisha's mouth, the past always appeared in her mind unconsciously.

Now she is the Queen of the Night. The Ishtar clan's Pleasure Street has monopolized the sex industry in Orario. It is so large that even the guild cannot control it and can only turn a blind eye.

However, this is definitely not what the guild wants to see!

The land of gentleness is the grave of heroes, this is a universal rule no matter where you are. This is even more true for adventurers. Once tempted, adventurers of varying qualities can easily fall into depravity and eventually become scum who just live a mediocre life.

This would have no impact on the guild, but it was not in line with the guild's fundamental purpose - to unite the forces of the major clans to suppress the dungeon.

After humans fall, they will lose their ambitions. Even if their abilities continue to rise, they will no longer be able to become brave heroes like flag bearers. If most adventurers continue to fall in this way, the progress of exploring the dungeon will inevitably be delayed.

However, how did the guild allow the Ishtar clan to develop to this point, to the point of being somewhat deformed?

The answer is "powerless".

The guild itself does not possess a very powerful armed force, and although it has a good relationship with most adventurers, that is all. They cannot directly command those people, and can only assign them some mandatory exploration tasks to spur them on.

The method the guild uses to manage the entire city is actually to cooperate with several top clans and make use of their strength.

The clan that is most closely connected to the guild is undoubtedly the Ganesha clan. This clan is large in size and has no shortage of first-level adventurers. They are also rare in their sense of justice. Under the leadership of the main god Ganesha, they have become like "gendarmes", helping the guild maintain order in the city.

But Ganesha was unable to suppress Ishtar's family. There were many reasons for this, but the biggest one was... Ishtar herself did nothing wrong.

She is the goddess of desire and love. She recruits Amazons as her followers, and most of her prostitutes are hired or purchased through normal means, which is completely "legal" in the cognition of this other world.

As for the issue of adventurers being corrupted——isn't that the problem with the adventurers themselves?

They are just going about their business as normal.

Even the guild could not refute what the Ishtar Familia said.

As a result, the Ishtar clan developed legitimately, and the labyrinth city of Orario was particularly suitable for the growth of the gray industry...

But this has only happened in the last ten or twenty years. Before that, the Ishtar clan was not that large in scale.

Because twenty years ago, the city was ruled by the god Zeus and the goddess Hera, and Hera was much more powerful than Zeus.

If Zeus's followers just like to make trouble, then Hera's followers are a group of paranoid people.

According to the concept of the main goddess Hera, all "dirty", "unclean", "corrupt" and "unjust" things will be eliminated by them.

It is said that in the post-Hera era, there was a family of the goddess of justice called "Astraya". Because of their uncompromising principle against evil, they offended many dark factions.

But they still have the banner of "justice", and the Hera clan is much more excessive than them.

There is no reason and no need for a reason!

They will start a clan war without authorization just because they "don't like you" - or the rules of the clan war will change because of them.

Orario at that time was undoubtedly "pure", just like the daytime world under the sun, and all insects were driven into the shadows and sewers.

Ishtar was one of them at that time.

As the ruler of prostitutes, or a goddess who uses desire to control men, her compatibility with Hera can be said to be extremely poor.

However, she and Hera were not enemies - she had no right to be her enemy.

This is also the point that Ishtar resents the most: Hera did not even treat her as an enemy, but just stepped on her to death like a cockroach she saw when cleaning the house.

Until the end, when all the major dark factions and mainstream families unanimously decided to drive Hera and Zeus out of Orario, all Ishtar received from Hera was disdainful insults.

Even when Hera left, Ishtar went out of her way to mock her, but Hera still didn't see her in her eyes...

What an arrogant goddess!

This arrogance became a permanent scar in Ishtar's heart.

Her retaliatory development of the sex industry may also be intended to corrupt the entire Orario in order to prove that she has surpassed Hera.

But even if Hera left, the first goddess would not be her, but Freya, the bitch pretending to be pure (in her opinion).

So she regarded overthrowing Freya's position as her next goal, and it was not wishful thinking, but she had actually accumulated enough strength.

Her own strength is certainly not enough, but ever since Hera swept through the dark faction twenty years ago, the remaining fallen have united together and are still active in the dark to this day.

By joining forces with those old guys from the last era, and with the help of a killer weapon found by Ishtar, it is not impossible to deal with Freya.

But before that, she had to dispel a doubt in her heart:

Is the guy named Hercules a relative of Hera?

Logically speaking, Hera was boycotted by almost all of her clansmen, and it would be extremely difficult for her to return to Orario. She should not have taken such a flashy name, but come back secretly... But considering Hera's style, it is not impossible.

After all, although the top combat forces of Hera's family were almost wiped out at that time, there were still remnants and there were still late-level adventurers. However, Hera was discouraged and withdrew with Zeus.

If she were to come back, after twenty years of recuperation, the power she would have gathered would probably not be small...

"Anyway, we've already sent people from the dark faction to test the waters. We're just waiting for their news." Ishtar slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

The other party has a large number of golden apples - this information alone is enough to drive the dark clan crazy.

The opponent is suspected to be at level 6 or above, and should be a warrior specially trained by Hera in recent years. Therefore, it is still necessary to test him with caution, so Ishtar did not use her own people.

The dark faction is very good at doing such shady things, and is extremely cunning. Even if they fail, the other party will not be able to find them.

It can be said to be a perfect way of killing someone with a borrowed knife + alerting the enemy. Although there are no Thirty-Six Stratagems in this world, as a god who has lived for who knows how many years, he still has at least some wisdom.

"If they are really Hera's people... huh!"

Ishtar looked indifferent and said to herself, "Even Loki and Freya wouldn't want that goddess to come back, huh!"

Just as Ishtar was planning how to deal with Hera and the imaginary "New Hera Family", and was even considering whether to put aside her pride and join forces with Freya and the others, an Amazon warrior hurried into her bedroom.

"Lady Ishtar!"

"What's wrong? You look so flustered! What a mess!"

Ishtar scolded in dissatisfaction: "What happened? Don't make a fuss."

"Uh, oh... huh!"

After taking a few deep breaths, the female warrior calmed down and spoke quickly with a hint of anxiety.

"Lord Ishtar, there is a guest downstairs."

"Huh? Isn't this a very common thing?" Ishtar became impatient.

Although this is the base of the Ishtar clan and where the main god lives, due to the special nature of this clan, they actually do receive guests here. However, due to the appearance of a certain toad, few people dare to come here.

"But the guest said, he said..." The female warrior hesitated.

Ishtar frowned and asked in dissatisfaction: "What?"

"He said that ordinary things could not satisfy him, and he had to let the goddess accompany him in person!"

Chapter 184: Straight to the point

"Hey, little brother, please stop joking."

In the magnificent hall, several Amazons dressed in hot costumes surrounded two men, one black and one white.

The battle whore with short white hair showed a threatening smile, like a snow leopard.

"Did you drink too much? This is Fun Street, a place for everyone to have fun. Although fighting is also a form of entertainment, this is our headquarters. Apart from wrestling between men and women, other fights are not welcome."

"That's really strange."

The black-haired young man was Jiang Liu, and Bell was so frightened by being surrounded by so many Amazons that his legs went limp.

“Isn’t this a street for prostitutes? As far as I know, the Ishtar clan is an organization composed of prostitutes. I just named them, why should I be rejected?

Do you think I can't afford the whore money?"

"That's not the question. Are you serious?"

The Amazon warrior asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to name the goddess Ishtar?"

"I heard that she can also entertain customers. What's wrong?" Jiang Liu smiled indifferently.

“That was Lady Ishtar’s own choice. She took the initiative to choose a man she liked. It’s completely different from what you imagined.

Hey man, you'd better leave quickly before my goddess comes out. Up to now, you can still be considered sleepwalking. If you continue, there will be no way to resolve it and you will regret it.

If Lady Ishtar gets angry, you might not even be able to die."

Although it was a threat, the white-haired Amazon did try to advise Jiang Liu, probably because his appearance was very much to her taste, and she felt that it would be a shame if such a man died for no reason.

However, her good intentions did not seem to be understood by the other party at all. The man still had a silly smile on his face and did not listen to her words at all.

"Tsk, if you want to die, go ahead." Amazon rolled his fist unhappily, "It's a pity to waste such a manly face."

"Thank you for the compliment... By the way, there should be someone named Aisha in your clan, right?" Jiang Liu asked, scratching his head.

Amazon frowned and asked, "What do you want from Big Sister?"

"She's not bad looking, and if your goddess doesn't suit my taste, then it's not impossible to let her take my place."

"You are here to cause trouble on purpose." Amazon's eyes turned cold, "But the big sister is not here."

"Not here?" Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Where did he go?"

"Why do you ask so much?"

She waved her hand, and the surrounding Amazons began to move closer.

"Catch this guy and hand him over to Lady Ishtar for punishment."
