A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

Shakti's expression gave no clues.

Serven smiled politely and nodded simply, "That's right, it has been completed successfully."

"I'll leave Feilong to you. Thank you."

He jumped directly from the city wall and returned to Orario.

The familiar eight-sector layout, people coming and going on the streets, and a huge chalk tower standing in the center -

Serven came to the front of the [Mistress of Fertility] on West Street.

The tavern had not yet opened for business. A cat-like girl with short black hair, wearing a light green waitress uniform and a white apron, was sweeping the floor at the door.

"Long time no see, Chloe."

The girl's green eyes suddenly lit up, "Serven, long time no see."

"Ms. Liu, is she there?"

"What? I thought you were here to see me." Chloe pouted in dissatisfaction, walked into the tavern and called the elf girl out.

"Do you have something to talk to me about, Mr. Adonis?" The green-haired elf girl came out, her hands crossed in front of her, her expression serious and old-fashioned.

"Can you talk in private?"

The elf girl confirmed Serven's expression with her blue eyes, then nodded and walked to the side of the tavern, and Serven followed.

Chloe stayed where she was, supporting her right elbow with her left hand, placing her right hand on her chin, staring behind Serven and smiling.

Mr. Serwen has a great figure, especially that part, which I, Koroi, would like to call the best.

"Can I tell you now, Mr. Adonis?" After walking to a secluded place where no one was around, Liu turned around and asked calmly.

"When I came back from outside the city, I met the goddess Astraea."

"Lady Astraea?!" Liu grabbed Serven's clothes. Because Serven was much taller than her, she couldn't easily grab Serven's shoulders.

"She was very concerned about your recent situation. She said she was in the [Sword City] in the east. I met her by chance in a village."

"But I have already given up 'justice'..." Liu's voice couldn't help but tremble.

"Ms. Liu, don't run away."

"Eh?"

"This is your Lord God, Miss Liu. Are you trying to avoid your own Lord God?" Serven met Liu's gray eyes. "As for whether you are still qualified to bear the "Grace of Justice", this is something that only the goddess Astraea can decide."

Liu frowned - indeed, it seemed that he had made a decision for the goddess without permission.

In fact, the kind-hearted goddess Astraea must have forgiven me long ago, even though I committed a serious crime——

But when he thought about facing the goddess of justice, Liu suddenly felt a little uneasy.

But no matter what, I must first thank the adventurer in front of me.

"Thank you, Mr. Adonis." Liu put his thoughts behind him and bowed to thank Serven.

"Can I ask for a thank you gift now?"

Liu's eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened. Even with her strong concentration, she was shocked by Serven.

"Then - next time I come over, please buy me a drink." Serven smiled, "Just consider this as a thank you gift."

Liu was stunned for a few seconds, and before she could react, Serven nodded and said goodbye.

My heart felt like it was on a roller coaster and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

She thought of the main god whom she had not contacted for a long time, and also thought of the insignificant thank-you gift that Serven had just asked for.

What a kind-hearted person! I will definitely repay him if I have the chance.

It was not until Serven turned and left that Liu came to his senses, bowed in return, and watched the elegant figure disappear into the distance.

She thought back to the conversation just now and felt that Serven's smile was like the first ray of sunshine that pierced through the clouds after a long rain, especially warm and bright.

Serven walked slowly back from West Street to the Mansion of Dusk. Civilians and adventurers came and went on the road, and from time to time someone would recognize Serven - with the spread of the title "Odyssey" and Serven's adventure stories, Serven's fame continued to spread.

"Excuse me, sir, would you like some fried potato balls today?"

Serven suddenly heard a familiar and pleasant voice.

He walked towards the source of the sound and saw the petite goddess in work clothes, working diligently. He smiled unconsciously and walked over.

"Hello, welcome... What, why is it you! Serven-kun!"

"Just call me Serven. Goddess Hestia, long time no see."

"Um...well, long time no see." Hestia looked embarrassed. After all, the child she had rejected had become the famous [Odyssey], but she was still alone here selling fried potato balls.

"Goddess Hestia, please bring me one red bean paste flavored potato ball and one red bean cream flavored potato ball."

"Well, okay, um...thank you for your patronage." Although she was a little embarrassed, the little goddess still tried hard to play the role of her employee.

"It tastes great." After taking the fried potato balls, Serven didn't touch the red bean cream flavor, but picked up the red bean paste flavor and took a bite.

"Thank you, Serven-kun." Feeling happy that her cooking skills were praised, Hestia smiled as she watched Serven eat the fried potato balls in big mouthfuls.

Hmm? Another red bean cream flavor?

Hestia frowned and thought for a moment. Yes, she remembered that the Sword Princess from Loki's family also often bought this flavor...

"Another..."

"This one?" Serven raised the red bean and cream-flavored fried potato balls in Yang's hand. "This one is for Ess." Serven guessed what Hestia wanted to say next and said directly.

Hestia has been looking for a family for nearly two months, but is still alone. The young man in front of her is ruthlessly rubbing salt into her wounds.

Oh, oh, oh——I want to cry!

"Lady Hestia?" She suddenly heard Serven's voice, and when she looked over, she met Serven's smiling eyes. "Are you okay?"

"Oh, sorry, I was distracted."

Serven nodded, with a smile still flowing in his eyes, "Just now you were like a cute little hamster... Sorry, I was rude."

Although Serven did not continue speaking, Hestia understood what Serven meant.

This is the first time I have received such an evaluation since I came to the world.

Unfortunately, it is not something to boast about.

He actually showed his immature and childish side, without any dignity of a god at all.

But the only thing Hestia didn't want to do was embarrass herself in front of Serven - for the first time - and Hestia's heart began to beat rapidly.

The children in the underworld have changed so much—

Without noticing, he quietly transformed into a brave and handsome appearance.

"Long time no see, Yasfi."

Serven came directly to the headquarters of the Hermes Familia and was received by the leader of the Familia, Yasfi.

"Mr. Sewen, do you want to come in and sit down?" Yasifei pushed her glasses habitually.

"No need, is the god Hermes here?"

"Ah, little brother Serven, you're back." Hermes, wearing a travel hat, smiled "surprised". It was not known whether his acting skills were bad or he deliberately showed his bad acting skills, but one could tell at a glance that it was just a polite smile.

"God Hermes, I have completed your commission..."

"Really?!" Hermes asked in genuine surprise, "So, Servan, have you met Artemis?"

"Yeah. I also met Andaris."

"Ah, what bad luck." Hermes pushed down the brim of his hat to block his vision. "But since you are back safely, little brother Servan--"

"Let's put the details aside for now. The mission reward..."

"Ah, yes, the mission reward—" Hermes hesitated for a moment.

Serven spoke directly, "I will let Loki come to discuss the mission reward with you. After all, you didn't tell me in advance that there were ancient monsters in the mission. I think this is crucial information, and it almost prevented me from returning. I will let Loki come to discuss it with you later."

"Bye, God Hermes."

"Wait, little brother Serven, I can give you the mission reward right now!"

"No need, I think it's better for Loki to come. Goodbye."

"Ah~, Yasfi, he's gone. If Loki comes here, I will definitely be taught a lesson." Hermes looked at Yasfi with a sad face.

"I think you deserve this retribution now," Yasfi replied mercilessly.

He said goodbye to the two of them politely. Even though Loki would come to settle the score for him, he still couldn't let it go.

The so-called exploration mission is actually a trap!

Serven would not say openly that he would be fine in the end anyway, so there was no need to mind such glorious words. If it weren't for his strong foundation, if another Lv.3 had gone there, he would have been killed instantly!

"Eh?! Brother Serven, just mention the conditions you want!" Hermes chased out of the base unwillingly, and Yasfi followed behind him.

"Oh? Really?" Serven raised the corner of his mouth, "Yasfei, can I invite you to take a day off to date me?"

“Eh!?” Yasfi in the distance exclaimed adorably, her face turning red, “…But, the clan still has a lot of work to do…”

"Isn't there still the god Hermes?"

Yasfi laughed, "Lord Hermes, I'll trouble you with the affairs of the Familia when the time comes!"

"Yasifei, you are the leader of our clan!"

"Master Hermes is still a god!"

"Then it's settled, Yasfi." After receiving Yasfi's affirmative response and looking at Hermes' unwilling expression, Serven left with satisfaction.

He also left a message: "Loki will come over later 々' ~"

"This is really troublesome. Even little Yasfi was kidnapped." Hermes looked at Yasfi with a headache, only to receive a cold look from the leader of his clan.

He pressed his hat down, a smile on his face, "Oh, you hold a grudge like that. It seems that little brother Serven is really not a hero."

"Master Hermes, it's obviously your mistake, okay?"

"Ah, girls are really outgoing. Alas, no one will help an old man like me..."

Yasifi ignored the sick Lord God and went straight back to the clan’s residence.

Serven did not take any more detours and went straight back to the [Pavilion of Dusk].

"Mr. Serven, welcome back!" The family member guarding the door greeted Serven.

"Long time no see, thank you for your hard work." Serven greeted as he walked inside.

The blond swordsman was standing in the courtyard, still wearing his usual combat attire of backless armor and over-the-knee boots (Loki's bad taste). When he saw Serven, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"I am back."

"Well, welcome back."

"What's going on with this gentle wife atmosphere?!" Loki had just strolled over here and saw the two people greeting each other. He couldn't help but yelled and inserted himself between them.

"What? It's Loki."

"What's wrong with your tone, as if you saw a fly?!" Loki opened his iron mouth and bit directly at Serven. Serven easily dodged and handed the red bean and cream-flavored fried potato balls to Ais.

Aisi's eyes lit up, and she ate the fried potato balls in small bites, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Loki sighed. Although she played pranks on her family members every day, it was mostly just a joke. If Ais and Serven really got together, she would be happy to see it happen.

"By the way, Loki, didn't I accept a commission? I need you to help me negotiate the reward for the mission."

"Ok?"

"It was a request from Hermes. Originally, we were just going to explore and record the actual situation, but when we arrived at the scene, we found out that Andaris had been resurrected..."

"Hahaha, Hermes has tricked you..." Loki laughed loudly and mercilessly.

She recalled the sensation of the divine blood, narrowed her eyes and sneered.

It's time to teach Hermes a lesson!

"Yeah, I suffered a lot." Serven shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"No problem, leave it to me." Loki patted his flat chest, walked like the Grandma Yang version of "The King of Conan", and went to settle the score with Hermes.
