A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

........ ..... 0

Serven didn't dare to look into Alicia's eyes. He looked a little uncomfortable and his gaze shifted elsewhere.

“Sure enough, there is more!” The elf sister clenched her fists and puffed up one side of her face angrily.

"Well... I have a new story recently..." Serven began to use the method of diverting attention.

"I know. I already knew about this from Diona. But Serven, you are not willing to share it with me until now..."

The resentful tone seemed to be transformed into reality and forced into Serven's head, and he suddenly felt a headache.

"I'm sorry, Alicia. I'm writing it down now. Could you help me revise it?"

"Eh? Sure! Or rather, I'd love to. Can I really get involved?"

"Well, thank you for your help."

"Serven, you are too polite to me." Alicia brought paper and pen, sat aside and watched Serven start writing.

"The Old Man and the Sea"

{“He was an old man who had been fishing alone on the seashore in a skiff. For eighty-four days he had caught no fish.”}

Serven couldn't remember all the details and restore them word for word. Moreover, the baseball games, broadcasts, and religious plots in the story needed to be adapted to suit the soil of Orario.

The whole story was not long, and with Alicia helping to check for errors and polish the words, Serven's workload was not that heavy.

It took the two of them a whole day to finish writing the entire work. Alicia picked up the complete manuscript and read it again from beginning to end:

{“Man is not born to fail. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”} When she saw this, her heart also became excited.

{"In his shack, down the road, he fell asleep again. He was still lying on his face, and the boy was sitting beside him, watching over him. In his dream, the old man saw a lion."}

Alicia grabbed Serven's arm and said, "This is the first heroic story of common people! It is not as exaggerated as the bards' stories, nor as great as the heroic tales, but it is particularly touching!"

"As long as you like it."

“I like it very much!”

Chapter 140 Artemis [Subscribe]

"Serven, this is amazing! I love your new story so much!"

Tiona was the second person to see Serven’s story. She was so excited that she couldn’t control herself. Serven’s arm was a little painful from being grabbed.

"Calm down, Diona." Serven said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you once?"

"But even though I knew the ending of the story, I still felt very excited when I actually saw the text of Santiago fighting the big martin and the shark."

Diona's face was still very excited, "Besides, there are many things you didn't mention, Serven."

"Man is not born to fail. A man can be destroyed but not defeated. This sentence is really cool!"

Severn's arm was grabbed by Diona again, causing pain.

Ai Si also finished reading the story and came over.

"Serven's new story is very interesting."

"Thank you."

"Which one do you like better, this one or the previous one, "The Nightingale and the Rose"?"

"I prefer The Old Man and the Sea!" Tiona answered without hesitation.

Ai Si pondered for a moment and made the same choice, "Now this one."

"I like both of them very much." Alicia came over at some point. "Nightingale's sentences are very artistic, and this one's story is especially good."

"It's time for dinner." It turned out that Alicia came to call people.

"Well, let's go and eat."

"it is good!"

Many family members, including Loki, Finn and Grace, were already seated at the long dining table.

"Hey, Mama-san isn't here." Loki looked around and asked, "That's strange."

"Lady Livilia is looking at Serven's new work, so she will be late."

"Hmm? Serven, you wrote a new story?"

"Yes, I felt so moved after watching it, and I was filled with energy!" Diona said first.

"Yeah." Aisi nodded in agreement.

Loki looked confused, "So you three are the only ones who finished reading it? What's the story?"

At this moment, Livilia came over and said, "Sorry, I'm late." She looked at Serven, smiled and said, "The new work is very good."

"Thank you."

"???" Loki's face was full of question marks. She couldn't suppress her curiosity, so she simply didn't eat and rushed to Livilia's room.

By the time Loki returned, Serven and the others had almost finished eating.

"Eh? You guys finished eating without waiting for me?!" Loki walked with his feet turned outwards in a sloppy manner, "I have something to announce."

"In order to find another entrance to the underground city, we need to investigate the port city of Melun—"

"Then the guild asked us to leave at least half of the members behind. So we decided that all the girls will follow me to Melen, and the boys will stay here~"

"It's so annoying, why don't you take us with you!" Raul was the first to stand up.

Everyone looked at him, wondering why Raul, who usually kept a low profile, suddenly became so high-profile——

Serven silently retracted his evil little hand that had secretly pulled Raul up.

Facing everyone's strange looks, Raul asked, "Loki, why did you leave us behind?"

"Didn't I tell you to stay behind?"

"Loki, you need permission from the guild to leave the city, right? There are a lot of extremely troublesome procedures." Finn directly pointed out the key to Loki's plan.

"Don't worry. I have already obtained the guild's permission." Loki raised his head proudly and said with ease.

"Sure enough, this has been planned for a long time..." Finn shook his head and sighed.

"Loki, I think I can be a bodyguard." Serven raised his hand and pretended to be a good student.

Loki kicked directly, but fortunately Serven reacted quickly and dodged it.

"How can you be a bodyguard? I don't even want to expose you. You just want her body, you are a slut!"

The handsome guy Severn was the first one to be excluded by Loki.

"Okay, it's decided. We'll go to the port city of Melun tomorrow, so just stay at home and stay home."

"By the way, Finn." Loki opened his red eyes, "I'd also like you to keep a close eye on Dionysus and the others. See if you can catch them."

"it is good."

"Morning, Artemis."

"Good morning." The moment she saw Serven, a smile broke out on the goddess' face.

"Are you used to living here?"

Artemis shook her head. "Although there are a lot of goods here and the streets are very busy, I can't help here at all. Letesa and the others can go to the dungeon to adventure, but I can only stay here and can't do anything."

"Would you like me to practice with you for a while?"

Artemis blinked, a surprised smile appeared on her face, "C-can I? [Orion]!"

Serven took out a stack of printed manuscript paper from his arms, "This is a new story I wrote. We will go to the dungeon later. You can take a look at it while you are here."

"Okay~"

Letesa took Artemis's hunting knife and bow and arrow. She took Serven's new work and said, "Serven-kun, can I see this?"

"Sure. The book will go on sale in a few days, and you can find it in bookstores then."

"So awesome!" The other girls praised Serven one after another.

"Artemis, let's get started!"

"it is good!"

Considering Artemis' archery skills, Serven deliberately kept a distance.

Then--

call out--

Artemis didn't even aim, she just drew her bow and shot the sharp arrow towards Serven.

Serven's observation Haki captured the movement of the arrow in advance, and he split the arrow with a knife. Artemis on the opposite side fired three arrows in succession, which were divided into upper, middle and lower parts, and also blocked the space on Serven's left and right.

"Great!"

Serven chopped off the arrow in front of him with a knife, and as he moved to the left, his hand was wrapped with armed color domineering, and he swept the arrow away with his arm.

"Orion!" Artemis exclaimed worriedly, but saw Serven stomping on the ground and quickly closing the distance between them.

She felt relieved and continued to shoot arrows while moving to the side to try to create some distance.

Serven rushed forward, slashing away all the arrows that were shot at him, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Artemis...

The goddess had switched from bow and arrow to hunting knife, and slashed towards Serven from the lower right.

Serven placed Qiu Shui across the attack path of the hunting knife, but he didn't expect Artemis to twist her wrist and chop the hunting knife down head-on. Serven could only change his moves quickly, block the hunting knife, and press towards Artemis with his strength.

The goddess did not struggle too much and tried to step back and create some distance, but when she saw Serven reaching out, she grabbed her hunting knife and pulled it hard.

Her body lost balance, and Serven had already opened his arms, so she didn't try to maintain her balance, but staggered a few steps and threw herself into Serven's arms.

Artemis heard Serven's very strong heartbeat.

brush--

Her entire face, including her ears, turned red.

Serven didn't see it. He gently clasped his arms and hugged the goddess from behind. The goddess' face was close to his chest, and he felt a heat.

"Artemis?"

"Artemis?" After calling out once without any response, Serven called out again, and only then did he hear the goddess respond in a very low voice, as soft as a mosquito or fly.

He let the goddess go with some surprise, and was surprised to find that Artemis' face was like a red apple.

"Is it so exaggerated..."

The goddess was so shy that she had nowhere to hide, so she hid her face in her arms.

"It's okay, it's okay." Serven said softly, "...very cute."

Steam was coming out of Artemis's head, and the situation did not get better, but became even more embarrassing.

After a long while, the goddess finally calmed down.

According to the original plan, Serven will accompany the members of the "Artemis Family" to go deeper into the underground city, with the destination being the tree maze or even the "Water City" below.

She looked at her family, who were passing around Serven's new work and occasionally expressing their feelings.

Letesha was the first to finish reading. She looked at Serven with some admiration, "Serven-kun, this story is so well written!"

"Thank you." Serven looked at the other girls, "Do you want to watch more? We are about to leave for the dungeon. 3.0"

"Ah? Want to watch it for a while longer?" "I'll be done soon~" the girls all started talking at once and acting coquettishly.

Serven smiled helplessly and took Artemis' hand, "It looks like they will be a while longer."

"Serven, let me show you around here."

"Okay~"

The two walked hand in hand on the lawn of the Hestia Family's mansion. Hestia was out working, and Bell, Welf and others had already gone to the dungeon.

"I heard from Hestia that she plans to recruit some new members of the Familia in the next two days. The news has already been released."

"That's good."

By the time the two returned, the girls of the clan were finally ready to set off.
