A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

The cold blade of the long knife stopped at her neck.

"What do you want to do? Stop!" The other priestesses only reacted now. They glared at Serven. The stronger Leia reacted earlier, but she was blocked by Serven's other hand.

"Hestia, we're not going?"

"...But..." Hestia's expression was a little hesitant.

While Bell was explaining how it turned out like this, he tried to persuade Serven to put down his sword and the priestesses to calm down and live in peace.

Serven put [Autumn Water] back into the sheath, "I don't think your arrogant behavior is the attitude of asking for help."

"Little sister Illya, let's put it another way. Bell and the others are Hestia's followers. We can't let them leave the Lord God, right? Did Prometheus specify that 'no followers are allowed'?"

"…I'm sorry, Lady Hestia, for causing you trouble. Lord Hermes, what you said makes sense." After being silent for a long time, Leia spoke.

"Lea?!"

However, Leia continued, "We want to invite the goddess to save the country. If we force you to accept our request and ignore your request, it would be too shameless. As the head witch, I agree to let you accompany us."

She looked at Serven, "Also, this powerful adventurer, what is your name?"

"Severn Adonis."

"[Odyssey]?!"

"Now it's time to call the Transcendent, little sister Illya." Hermes said, his eyes looking at Artemis, "I'm sorry, Artemis, your family probably can't accompany you."

"It's okay, I'll go. If there's any danger, Orion will protect me."

"Orion?" Hermes narrowed his eyes and smiled softly, "Then let's go abroad and enjoy some luxury!"

"Wait, Master Hermes, you're going too?! The Familia still has so many things to do?"

"Of course, as a traveler, how can I be absent? Yasifei, you have to participate too, because you are responsible for taking care of me!"

"Please wait for me a moment--!!!"

After returning to the [Dusk House] from the [Stove House]——

Serven immediately asked his main god, but the atmosphere became extremely heavy.

"【Fire of Heaven】?" Loki narrowed his eyes.

"Well, they said they needed the help of Hestia, who controls the Holy Fire." Serven nodded, "They also said that this was Prometheus' will, and that they needed to bring the Fire of Vesta back."

"Serven!" Loki opened his scarlet eyes. "I'll update your ability values. You must bring the dwarf back to me!"

"What do you mean, Loki?"

"The Vesta Fire is the sacred fire of heaven. If you want it to manifest in the lower world, you must fully release the power. Once the power is fully activated, whether the purification succeeds or fails, Hestia will return to heaven."

"Can I not go?"

Loki shook his head. "If the situation hadn't gotten out of control, there's no way those guys would have come to Orario to seek help. Uranus wouldn't have agreed to their request either."

“I see… I understand.”

Originally, Serven had come up with a plan in his mind to stop Hestia from going to Olympia, but from what Loki said, the situation was far more serious than he had imagined.

I don’t know if it’s out of malice from the author, but he suddenly has to save the world immediately.

"Be sure to bring the dwarf back!" Loki was rarely so concerned about Hestia's safety.

Serven nodded heavily.

"it is good!"

Chapter 154 Olympia [Subscription Request]

The vast ocean stretches as far as the eye can see.

Seagulls fly between the blue sky and white clouds, chirping freely, and the moist sea breeze blows warmly towards everyone.

"Oh wow! Blue sky and sea!" Hestia was wearing a new blue and white dress with golden wavy stripes on her skirt. She was in a particularly good mood and smiled brightly. "Let's go on a sea trip!"

"Are you in such a good mood?" Serven also walked onto the deck and smiled at Hestia.

"Of course! After all, I work every day and never have the chance to cross the ocean in the netherworld. I'm so excited~! Speaking of which, opportunities are rare. Don't frown, Serven."

"I'm sorry, this is my first time out to sea too, and I didn't sleep well last night."

Serven was thinking about Olympia last night and felt a little heavy, so he didn't sleep well.

He woke up early in the morning to say goodbye to everyone in his family, but this situation actually had little impact on high-level adventurers.

He looked at the blue strip where the sea and sky met in the distance, closed his eyes comfortably in the warm and humid sea breeze, and then turned his gaze back to Hestia, "Your new outfit is very nice, Hestia."

"Ah, thank you." Hestia's smile became even brighter. She narrowed her eyes slightly at Serven's T-shirt and beach pants. "Your casual clothes are also suitable, Serven-kun. Let me see your abdominal muscles~"

"No. Hestia, be reserved."

"Ah, let me see~"

"Lady Hestia, please calm down." Lily also walked onto the deck and glanced at her main god.

Bell, Welf, Ming, Daphne and Cassandra have also changed into new outfits with white as the main color.

"Your new clothes are all very nice~" Serven praised.

“…Um, Brother Serven, your clothes…are also very unique.” Bell scratched the back of his head and paused for a moment before he thought of the appropriate words to express himself.

Cassandra gently pulled the corner of Serven's clothes, and when she saw Serven looking at her, she lowered her head even more embarrassedly.

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito. "...Lord Serven, please sign..."

Fortunately, Serven's Lv.5 hearing was not weak, otherwise he would not have been able to hear clearly. His eyes fell on The Old Man and the Sea in Cassandra's arms, and he couldn't help but laugh, "You like this book too."

"...Yeah, I like it very much!" Seeing Serven signing the page carefully, Cassandra couldn't help but smile.

Hermes came over somewhat inappropriately. He was wearing new green clothes and said to Serven with some helplessness, "Brother Serven, we are an envoy. Can you change into the clothes I provide for you?"

"We are at sea. This is my first time crossing the ocean. I will change into the uniform of the envoys before I disembark."

"This suit is not only light but also very tough. Mr. Serven, you might as well try it." Ming said to Serven, his eyes quickly scanning Serven's strong arms and bulging chest.

"Mr. Adonis, I thought so too." Liu also joined this commission because of the call of the god Hermes.

She was wearing a long blue dress with a white lining, a white cape draped over her back, and her emerald green hair was braided into two small braids beside her ears.

Serven opened his eyes wide in amazement, "Very beautiful, especially suitable for you, Miss Liu."

"...Thank you~."

Hephaestus and Artemis walked out together. They nodded to Serven and Hestia at the same time, but kept a distance from them intentionally to leave more space for Serven and Hestia.

Serven smiled at them, walked over and said, "Your new clothes look great. Don't look so serious."

"...Serven." Artemis's eyes moved around Serven's face, "You already know?"

Hephaestus, who seemed a little distracted, also looked towards Serven.

The three of them looked at Hestia, who was talking excitedly with her family members.

"Loki has already told me." Serven's fake smile finally faded.

"So we hope you can stay with Hestia for a while longer."

"Don't be so pessimistic." Serven's expression was a little serious. "Tell me, is it possible for humans to purify that flame?"

"Don't do anything stupid." Hephaestus looked at Serven, "The [Sky Fire] is not something that mere humans can handle."

"Well, I'll try to keep myself safe."

"Serven..." Artemis held Serven's hand, "Do whatever you want to do! Just like you saved me, save Hestia too!"

"Ok!"

Hephaestus laughed helplessly, "Really, you are acting recklessly again at this time."

"What are you three discussing behind my back?" Hestia came over. "Serven-kun, let's go to the bow. I'll open my arms there, and you'll hug me from behind - and then say you're like this, I'm like this!"

"Okay!" Serven walked towards Hestia and turned back to ask the two goddesses, "Hephaestus, Artemis, do you want some too?"

"?!"

"This..." "Not for now!" Artemis was a little tempted, but Hephaestus blocked her way.

Leave more time for Hestia - it was agreed at the beginning.

Just as Hestia opened her arms and fell into Serven's arms, several priestesses led by Illya rushed over, separated Serven, and formed a human wall to surround Hestia in the middle.

"Mrs. Hestia, are you thirsty?" "Are you cold?" "Or hot?"

Hestia, who was disturbed, put her hands on her hips. "Uh! It's you again? You guys should restrain yourself a little and stop disturbing me and Serven! No matter how much you want to take care of me, there has to be a limit! If you don't stop when you should, I will be angry!"

"Even her angry face is so majestic! She is worthy of being the goddess Hestia~!" However, this group of priestesses looked at Hestia with eyes of great reverence, which made her feel completely helpless.

At this moment, water splashed. A huge anglerfish, almost as tall as a man, pounced towards the people on the deck. Serven put his right hand on the hilt of the knife, but when he noticed Ryu running behind him, he gave up the attack.

Liu jumped up from the deck and slashed the anglerfish with his wooden sword, cutting the fish in half.

Immediately afterwards, another huge water snake attacked everyone. Its length above the water surface alone was more than seven meters. This time Bell reacted quickly, aimed his hand at the big water snake and released magic.

"¨～【Flame Lightning】——!"

The giant water snake was driven back into the ocean.

Then, several more anglerfish attacked, but were killed by Liu, Asfi, Bell, and Daphne.

Serven did not take any action throughout the whole process. His observation Haki captured that the priestess Chang Leia had been paying attention to the battle situation here.

Even though a fight had taken place, he refused to take action and instead watched from the dark.

So suspicious.

At this moment, Leia seemed to realize something and came over with other witches.

"You are indeed the adventurers of Orario... Even if all the monsters rampaging outside the dungeon swarm in, they are far from being a match for you. It's not even our turn to take action."

“Thank you for your praise…”

The trip was a bit novel at the beginning, but unfortunately it became a bit boring after sailing on the sea for so long with no other scenery except the blue sky, white clouds and the ocean.

After sailing on the vast "Metilla Sea" for seven days, we are finally about to reach our destination.

I saw red flames swaying on the sea and in the space ahead.

“Hey, look at this, this is…” Welf looked at the red air swaying around him in amazement.

"'Barrier'. This is the reason why the 'Eternal Divine Realm' has been passed down as a legend and has never been invaded." Hermes explained with a smile.

"You're right. Olympia has always been protected by the [Original Fire] to prevent invasion by all parties. - If it weren't opened by a host of [Fire] like this, anyone who touches this barrier would either be bounced away or burned to death." Leia said.

As she introduced it, the red illusion gradually faded until it disappeared, revealing the blue sea and a small island not far away.

The peninsula lies between the azure ocean and the blue sky. Marble buildings are scattered on the island along the terrain. Verdant trees are interspersed in the city. A huge ancient temple can be seen on the top of the highest mountain.

This is the dream land - Olympia!

Chapter 155: Filthy Skyfire [Subscribe]

"This is the "Eternal Divine Realm"..."

The multi-masted sailing ship carrying Serven, Hestia and others docked at the port. Everyone followed the witches and stepped onto the land of Olympia. Looking at the ancient streets, they couldn't help but sigh.

The road is paved with large and small stones, and together with sewer bricks of the same specifications, it forms a wide street.

The avenue is lined with simple stalls selling fruits, handicrafts and other goods. The two- or three-story white stone buildings and the streets are distributed in a stepped manner on the slopes of the island's mountains.

Vendors of all ages were cheering enthusiastically on the roadside——

"Don't miss it if you pass by! The finest fabrics have come in from Kilia!"

"Fresh fruit! You can't find it anywhere else around here! Now it's on sale!"

"Come and see the freshly caught fish here, they are so fresh!"...

Lily couldn't help but sigh, "It's different from the historic Orario. No, the streets here seem to have gone through a much longer time..."

Cassandra squatted down with her head in her hands. "Heroes will betray, the Holy Fire Goddess will appear, and black monsters will descend..."

"What nonsense are you talking about again?" Daphne sighed.
