Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

Rod paused for a moment, feeling inexplicably guilty.

After all, he had just given her a sound beating...

"Ahem, no matter how much they mess around, they can't get the divine mandate."

"These two always start arguing like no one else whenever they meet. Maybe they're the real love, and their family is just an afterthought."

"But you, why didn't you pull your own god along?"

A playful glint flashed in Riveria's eyes, and her distinctively pointed ears twitched slightly.

“Loki has almost finished the Somo wine you gave her last time, and she’s been acting a bit unruly these days. It’s a good opportunity for the goddess Hestia to teach her a lesson.”

Rhodes' eyes lit up.

Does this mean there will soon be more suckers handing over their money?

Just then, Riveria suddenly asked a question.

"I heard your clan recruited quite a few cute girls this time?"

“…”

For some reason, Rhodes felt even more guilty than before.

"Um...actually, I only saw their potential. You know, I've always been a pragmatist!"

Mama Riveria gently stroked the ends of the green-haired "May 17" hair with her fingertips, and hummed softly with a cute nasal sound.

I neither said I believed nor I said I didn't believe.

Rhodes suppressed the pounding of his heart and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

This "old thing" is truly more charming than most fairies...

Especially after raising a "daughter," the maternal instinct she unconsciously exuded made him completely powerless against her.

Thinking about it carefully, I remember that in the original timeline, she seemed to have said that if it were about ten years earlier, she might have wanted to have a relationship.

So we're pretty much at this stage now.

The two goddesses were wrestling not far away, while Rhodes was thinking about how to abduct the fairy princess.

I do not know how long it has been.

The person we've been waiting for has finally appeared.

When Rod looked up and saw the group in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.

Alphia and Metria, who changed their appearance using the magic stove, along with Ryu, Ais, Amid, and Agi.

Good grief, which monster broke the heavenly law?

When Adi saw Rod, her turquoise eyes lit up immediately.

She immediately let go of her "old flame" Liu's arm, jumped in front of Rod, and introduced herself, cheerfully extending her right hand.

"Long time no see, Rod! It's Adi Falma here today, who also wants to be your friend! Ta-da!"

A bright and clear smile appeared on the face of the energetic girl.

If Alexandra possessed a bright, lively sun, then she was surrounded by a tranquil, spring-like atmosphere.

Even her silvery voice revealed an innate gentleness.

This could be considered Ryu's "white moonlight".

With mixed feelings, Rhodes shook hands with the endearing young girl before him.

"If it's a kind and lovely girl like Adi, I'd be happy to make friends with her."

Well, as for what kind of friends, don't ask too many questions.

stare--

In an instant, all the girls present fixed their unfriendly gazes on Rhodes.

"..."

No, it's one thing that Riveria is giving off an ominous aura, but why are you looking at me like that, Amid?!

Rod glared back fiercely.

Amid realized what had happened and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh dear, everyone's doing it, so I subconsciously followed suit."

"However, Brother Rod's charm is really great."

She wore a pure white robe, and her long silver hair and mysterious purple eyes made her look like an exquisite and beautiful doll.

Everyone believed that she would grow up to be a beautiful woman.

But that's probably a topic for the distant future.

In the present day, it's not surprising that a person less than 1.2 meters tall would be mistaken for a young girl, or even a dwarf.

Even when she tried her best to stand on tiptoe, her beloved holy silver staff beside her was disproportionate to her petite figure.

No matter how much she tries to act nonchalant, she still manages to make people chuckle; she's a Saintess who is still quite immature.

Amed's remarks successfully broke the somewhat delicate atmosphere.

Rhodes released his grip on her hand, his gaze shifting between Amid and Ais.

A blonde little girl and a silver-haired loli, they seem like a surprisingly good match.

Tsk tsk, I think you two are destined to be with me.

"Speaking of which, which of you two is taller now?"

Ais blinked her clear eyes and raised her hand somewhat childishly.

“I am taller than her.”

Amid whimpered, then looked at Rhodes and puffed out her cheeks to emphasize.

"I'm already a seasoned twelve-year-old child, no, I'm more like a lady!"

"I expect my height to suddenly increase in another seven years!"

Absolutely! Definitely! Certainly!

Rhodes thought for a while.

How tall will Amid be in seven years?

He seemed to be less than 1.5 meters tall... while Ais was already 1.6 meters tall at that time.

Thinking of this, Rhodes cast a pitying glance at Amid.

Is this what they mean by "a doctor cannot heal himself"?

He bent down and, despite Amide's strong protests, ruffled her hair.

"It's okay, small ones are cute too~"

Suddenly, a thought struck Rhodes, and a devilish smile appeared on his face.

"Actually, there are ways to grow taller if you want to."

Although Amid said she didn't care, she had already secretly perked up her ears.

Ais, standing to the side, remained expressionless, but her serious expression clearly indicated that she was also eavesdropping.

"However, this is a secret passed down through generations of the Hestia Familia, and only family members can be informed."

Rivera, standing to the side, saw that Rhodes actually dared to try and steal the lifeblood of the Deankaite Familia, and complained helplessly.

"How can a clan that has only been established for a few days have passed down its traditions from generation to generation?"

Amid nodded vigorously, glaring at Rhodes with disdain.

"Don't think I'm easy to fool just because I'm young. I'm very smart!"

Rhodes didn't explain, he just continued to ask with a smile.

"Do you know that there is a therapist in Orario who is slightly less talented than you but the same age as you?"

Amida shook her head blankly.

"Are there guys like that?"

Although Amed may seem somewhat naive, she has a clear understanding of her talents in the field of therapy.

Riveria frowned slightly, thinking for a long time but unable to recall such a person.

Wait... same age?

She suddenly remembered the information Finn had mentioned earlier and glanced at Rhodes.

"You're not talking about that child from Freya's Familia, are you? But I remember she only recently became a healer, and we've only just started paying attention to her."

"Sometimes I'm really curious, where do you get all your information?"

As direct adversaries, the Loki Familia would naturally pay close attention to information about the Freya Familia.

However, Finn only vaguely judged the other person's value by combining many details with intuition, but he only treated the other person as a regular therapist.

After all, that child spends his days treating those lunatics in the battlefield, and outsiders are basically unaware of his existence, let alone his specific abilities.

Rhodes, who had only recently arrived in Orario, directly pointed to her and asserted that she possessed talent second only to Amid.

It was like seeing the future... which puzzled Riveria greatly.

Of course, Rod wouldn't say that he had read the script.

In contrast to Amid, who is known as the "Silver Saintess," the other party is Haiji, who will be known as the "Golden Witch" in the future.

At this stage, she should have just emerged from the "baptism" and, believing she lacked talent, chose to switch careers to become a therapist, only to unexpectedly reveal her healing talent.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the only way to go was to start a war game, he would have already tried to abduct Haici.

As for Freya's retinue's morbid fanaticism towards her, Rhodes was not worried at all.

His subordinates were equally loyal to him.

Besides, he already has other goddesses around him.

Of course, with Regna joining, we can also win by starting a war game now.

But it meant little to Rhodes.

Of the entire Freya Familia, there are only a handful of members he finds appealing and has the intention of taking them in.

The war game with Freya's Familia was the great legacy he left to the newly born Hestia Familia.

Rhodes looked at Amid, who still looked completely bewildered, and gave her a serious look.

"Your healing effects and range are indeed stronger than hers, but after the hellish training in the Battlefield, her healing endurance will far surpass yours."

"Furthermore, unlike you, she even possesses certain warrior abilities."

"If you and she each join a different camp and fight against each other, you may not be the one who wins in the end."

If Amed heard Rhodes' words seven years from now, she would at most just laugh it off, but now, as a young girl, she still has some competitive spirit.

Normally, her fellow members consider her Orario's strongest healer, but now suddenly someone has emerged who can rival her.

This inevitably creates a sense of urgency and competition.

She could tell that Rhodes wanted to invite her, but she was still somewhat unconvinced.

"If I join your kin, will I become stronger in the field of healing?"

Rhodes didn't answer directly, but instead asked a question.

"Now you know about the business model of the Deankat Familia, and you probably understand the personality of your chief god better than I do."

"When you grow up, you'll definitely become a core pillar, but at that time you'll be working overtime every day, 9 to 5, and extremely busy!"

Amida's little face immediately tensed up.
