A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

"My Odd..."

"My Odd...!"

She couldn't help herself and quickly ran out of the room. Her shining silver eyes were filled with her own emotions, with no trace of Ota at all.

Different!

This time is different——

Ota suddenly realized this, he turned quickly, and wanted to stretch out his rock-like palm towards the goddess's figure, but the goddess had already left the room.

The burly wild boar warrior slumped his shoulders.

The rooms on the top floor of the Tower of Babel are naturally infinitely transparent and bright.

But whether it was the high-end bookcases covering the entire wall, the high-end plush carpet on the ground that would sink into it as soon as the soles of the feet stepped on it, the paintings of the moon and the sun hanging on the wall, or the low table that symbolized the apple tree, they were obviously far away, but they all suddenly pressed towards this warrior.

He was surrounded by infinite shadows——

Ota realized that he might completely lose the favor of "that one".

Hestia's here.

She suppressed her inner surprise and smiled at Bell, "Bell, congratulations, now you can upgrade."

Bell stood up from the small stool and grinned with joy, and then he heard the God continue to say -

"You have three development abilities to choose from this time, Abnormal Resistance, Hunter, and Luck. I don't know much about this either. So you can discuss it with other seniors or guild advisors, and they will help you upgrade once you decide which development ability to choose."

The development ability will be reflected in the [Ability Value (Blessing)] through [Upgrade].

Whether or not one can learn to develop abilities is determined by the accumulated [experience points].

If you don't get enough [experience points], even if you level up, you may not be able to learn development abilities; on the contrary, as long as you get a moderate amount of [experience points], multiple development abilities may appear for you to choose from.

As for what kind of development ability will be produced, it depends on what actions the adventurer who received [God's Grace] took.

Generally speaking, you can only gain one development ability each time you [level up].

At the same time, the Hephaestus Familia welcomed an unexpected visitor.

“Goddess Freya——!”

Without waiting for the family member to report, Freya could not wait to walk into the headquarters of the city's first forging faction, and walked quickly in one direction -

Bell just got the parchment that copied and translated his ability values.

"¨～ Lord God, I didn't expect that two skills would be added at once this time! ... And [Argonauts]..." Bell's face turned a little red. The Lord God must know that he was still obsessed with the story of heroes at such an age.

But Hestia's face did not show any sign of mockery. Instead, it was unusually solemn.

"Bell, I want to tell you about your other skill..."

【! ? 】

Someone suddenly broke into the living room.

Generally speaking, although Hestia never closes the door, members of the [Hephaestus Familia] including Tsubaki will politely knock on the door frame as a sign of respect before entering.

This sudden visitor is a slim goddess with long silver hair.

Her silver eyes locked onto Bell, her lips trembling slightly, and she spoke after a long while -

"Odr..."

The rabbit's red eyes met Freya's silver eyes——

Bell suddenly understood everything. He saw the shadow of the poster girl with poor cooking skills in those silver eyes.

That's it!

It’s actually like this——!

Bell suddenly felt inexplicably depressed. His love for the girl Xi'er was real, but he was also disgusted with the goddess of beauty's past.

Bell matured a lot in an instant. With a little helplessness on his face, he raised the corner of his mouth to the goddess of beauty, "Xier?"

Freya didn't realize it now, she was just immersed in the surprise of finding [Od] -

The goddess who was high above suddenly changed her temperament and became a girl next door, smiling sweetly at Bell——

"Ok!"

She didn't realize that—

Because he realized that the girl he liked, Seele, was the wild goddess of beauty herself——

It was at this moment that Bell became the true [Odr]——!

He deeply loves Xi'er (Freya), and this love is beyond doubt——

However, he hated the unruly goddess of beauty, so he transformed himself into the wind that pursued freedom and was unrestrained, and refused to be controlled by the goddess of beauty.

Freya's journey in pursuit of [Od] will last for thousands and thousands of years, and will never stop forever!

---------drag-

(Update announcement: 1. The original setting of Libel being [Ode] is retained

2. Refer to the Norse mythology [Od] to strengthen Bell's eunuch attribute of only loving but not loving

3. Greatly enhanced Bell's strength as compensation).

Chapter 124 Hestia's Familia [Subscription Request]

"Serven, what happened?"

"This is my unlucky fellow villager. They were attacked by Goliath."

"Goliath? If I remember correctly, he was only level 1 last time. Even if you count his great feat, he's only level 2 at level 18, which is a bit..."

"Isn't it normal for Lv2 to be here?"

Not only Finn, but also Aisi, who was holding the dwarf Lily on the other side, looked over speechlessly.

"Serven, you're so pretentious." Ai Si couldn't help but complain.

"Eh? Isn't this Welf from our clan?" More and more members gathered together. Chun was also attracted by the noisy sound. As soon as she came over, she found Welf who was seriously injured and unconscious.

Livilia quickly gave instructions, took off her weapons and armor, bandaged the wounded, fixed the broken leg, and then used healing magic with a warm glow.

Watching Bell and others being skillfully taken into the tent by the logistics team members and settled in, Finn and Severn started chatting outside.

"It's incredible that we have reached this floor in such a short time."

"Indeed." This time, Serwen behaved well and stopped being so stubborn, agreeing with Finn's words.

If it weren't for Serven's example, Bell's reaching the 18th floor would have been an achievement that adventurers would talk about with relish.

But now, although the members of the [Loki Clan] were surprised, they did not regard it as an achievement worth talking about. After all, within their clan, there was a fierce man who was at Lv2 and was chasing Goliath.

I can only say that their village is too abnormal.

"By the way, Serven, don't you want to go and see that Goliath?" Finn 817 had a smile in his eyes, and was obviously joking about the time when Serven had beaten up the floor master in the past, which even the adventurers in Orario complained about.

"I did that because I needed a great cause!" Serven glanced at Finn speechlessly.

"If you don't go, the Goliath will belong to the clan. I'm worried about the clan's lack of money."

Serven was amused. "Don't act like I have the floor master under my control. If the clan wants to kill him, just go ahead. I just like fighting strong enemies, and the floor master just happens to meet this standard."

Finn's gaze stopped at Serven, "If you go back this time, you should be able to level up. Lv5, a speed that would shock even the gods."

Ais also looked at Serven, his shadow reflected in her golden eyes. She once again recalled Serven's scarred back after the fatal fight with Goliath. Her eyes were filled with admiration, longing and blessings.

Serven met Ais's gaze. Although he couldn't fully understand the girl's mind, he could get a general idea and returned her an eager look.

In the end, Goliath was put aside by a few people. Anyway, they could deal with him when they returned to the ground, so there was no need to rush in one or two days.

When the crystal on the ceiling dimmed and reflected the starry night sky, Bell finally woke up.

"——Lily, Welf!?"

He seemed to have had a nightmare. Before his eyes were fully open, his upper body bounced up and sat up.

As a result, because he moved too hastily, he instantly pulled the wound under the bandage. Bell gasped and shrank into a ball.

At this moment, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the tall figure lying beside him.

Welf's bed was next to his, and Lily was next to Welf, both of them were still sleeping, breathing evenly.

Bell felt relieved and began to look around. Judging from the layout of the tent, he must have been rescued and he would go and thank them later.

At this moment, Welf groaned and opened his eyes.

"Where is this place?"

"Lord Bell..." Lily also woke up.

“Lily, Welf!” Belle yelled excitedly, “Are you all right? Do you recognize me?”

"How could Lily not recognize Master Bell's face?"

"Well, since I can hear Lily's specious arguments, it seems that I have no problem."

The members of the [Loki Family] who were preparing to attend dinner naturally heard the shouting coming from the tent.

"It seems that boy has woken up."

So Bell just walked out of the tent and said, "Wow, it's Serven's fellow countryman, little brother. Hello, little brother."

"Oh, Bell, you've made it this time. You've made it to the 18th floor."

"Ms. Tsubaki." Bell smiled a little embarrassedly, "This is..."

"My name is Diona, nice to meet you, my fellow countryman of Serven."

"Just call me Bell."

Welf and Lily also opened the door curtain and walked out.

"Hey, Welf boy, long time no see."

"It's Tsubaki, long time no see." The tall Welf looked around and found Tsubaki mixed in with a large group of unfamiliar adventurers, including the golden-haired [Sword Princess], the golden-haired Dwarf [Hero], the sturdy dwarf [Chongjie], the [Big Sever] who greeted Bell, the [Nine Demon Princess] who was a little further away, and the [Odyssey] who was making a lot of noise in Orario——

"Is this the Loki Family?!"

Lily was also surprised to hear Welf's exclamation.

"Tsk." Bert leaned against the tree and said disdainfully, "You're just a weakling who's so proud of yourself for having just made it to the 18th floor."

“No way… He is an adventurer that we cannot help but respect.” Tione said after hearing that.

Bert the Fierce Wolf turned his head away with disdain and did not argue any further.

Bell searched the crowd in a panic. When he saw Ai Si, he didn't stop and just passed her by. It was not until he saw Serven that he breathed a sigh of relief in surprise.

“Brother Serven——!”

Serven came to Bell and said, "Bell, the last battle was very exciting."

"No, no." Although he was being modest, Bell was actually a little proud of himself for successfully crossing the shadow and completing the adventure. He couldn't help but laugh when he heard the praise. After a while, he calmed down and asked in a serious tone, "Brother Serven, can you take me to meet your leader?"

Serven looked at Bell, who had become mature, with a strange look and said, "Come with me."

Bell came to Finn and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you very much for helping our family!"

【? ! 】

Finn waved his hand casually, "Just helping out, no need to be so polite."

"Hey, Bell, when you said your family, you meant - the other two people..."

"Well, they have joined my clan too! I'm the leader now, hehe."

At the same time, Tsubaki also learned the news——

"What? You actually joined the Hestia Familia?!"

Several other blacksmiths also looked over in astonishment. It was a bit strange to give up one's position as the largest blacksmith faction in the city and join a new clan.

"Anyway, there are various reasons."

After Bell [Ode]'s identity was revealed——

Hestia was prepared for Bell to leave the clan. If her first business venture failed, she would eat and drink for free at Hephaestus's place again and rest for a while.

But Bell Crany was a kind-hearted man who knew how to repay favors, and he didn't want to be bound by Freya, so he chose to continue staying in the Hestia Familia.
