A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

So Freya had to help and started the operation.

[Hestia's Familia] moved to a new residence. Although it was a small house and courtyard, it had a blacksmith house with the best facilities!

Freya took care of everything, and all kinds of forging equipment were available. In addition, he had a good relationship with Bell, so Welf was naturally very tempted.

Goddess Hephaestus also had some hint of encouragement -

She was one of the few people who knew the inside story. Not only did she know Bell's identity, she also knew Freya's trumpet.

So when [Freya's Familia] secretly wanted to poach people, she not only did not stop them, but encouraged Welf to go out and start his own business.

Lily was faced with a crucial choice.

"Continue to live in a daze" or "drink the divine wine under the witness of the main god Soma to retain the will and leave the sect"

Freya never expected that although the dwarfs bravely chose the latter as planned, they also became very courageous because they overcame the obstacle of the divine wine.

He actually dared to challenge her again and again——

For example, when she came to the [Hestia Familia], she didn't open the door and didn't ask for a tip or anything like that, and the Freyas were so mad at this little human.

In short, with Freya's secret help, the [Hestia Familia] ushered in its first wave of expansion.

Chapter 125 Hestia [Subscribe]

"These three risked their lives for their companions and reached the 18th floor. They are all courageous adventurers! Let's toast to them!"

Finn gave a simple welcome ceremony for the three of them.

"--cheers!"

The members formed a large circle around the magic stone lamps stacked up like a campfire, and raised their assigned cups together.

Bell looked at Serven, who was surrounded by Aisi and Alicia not far away, and Diona was trying to get close to Serven. He felt a little envious.

As expected, you are Brother Serven!

"Bell, a harem is a man's romance!" This is what his grandfather said to him when he was young.

He couldn't even handle the petty-minded Xier, and had to work hard to balance the relationship between Hill and Lily. He didn't expect that Brother Severn already had girls on both sides.

Even the Lord God is very concerned about Brother Serven's news. It seems that he even went on a date with Brother Serven last time.

As expected, he is grandpa’s friend!

Bell is a little envious of "837", but he definitely can't betray Xier.

Whether it is [Footsteps of the Returning People] or [Od], they all reflect his inner loyalty to the poster girl (Freya)——

"Hey, little hero, it's amazing that you can defeat the Minotaur!" A team member took the initiative to toast Bell.

"Ah, thank you." Bell was a little flattered.

"Bell, would you like a drink?"

"Thank you." Bell drank the wine Tsubaki poured without hesitation, and immediately fell to the ground.

"Hey, Bell——!" Welf rushed to Bell in surprise, and found that Bell was just asleep. He looked at Chun helplessly.

"What? You have such a poor alcohol tolerance!" Chun looked around and Welf raised his hands in surrender.

Raul lowered his head to drink fruit wine, pretending not to notice her gaze, so Chun immediately walked over and snatched Raul's glass.

"Ms. Tsubaki! Please spare me!? This wine is not the strong wine you dwarves have...!?"

"Why, are you so shameless? It's just a little bit of dwarven liquor!"

Raul was provoked into taking a sip, and his face turned red in an instant, and he fell to the ground unconscious.

"So fierce?" Serven smacked his lips.

"No, it's just that they can't drink much." Grace also raised the dwarf's liquor and took a sip, "Serwen boy, do you want a drink?"

Before Serven could reply, Chun had already squeezed over and said, "Odyssey, I'm here to toast you. Please give me priority when you have good materials in the future!"

Serven picked up the wine glass. It only had a light fragrance, but as soon as the wine went down his throat it felt like a raging fire burning in his esophagus. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide, "It's so strong!"

Ais glanced at Serven and drank the juice obediently. Alicia and other elven girls were urging the royal princess to drink. Livilia smiled and drank a few glasses of labyrinth fruit wine that would not make her drunk.

After two drinks, Serven felt a little dizzy. He waved at Chun, but Chun refused and continued to hold the bottle to pour wine for Serven.

at this time--

“——Guwuwa!?”

From far outside the campground, in the direction of the 17th floor passage, a sound similar to that of a young girl's cries was heard.

The members in charge of guarding began to panic.

"Sorry, I'll go over and take a look!" Serven stood up and rushed out.

Bell also stood up, and the dwarf girl and the young blacksmith followed suit.

Aisi also stood up and followed Serven.

It seems that there are uninvited guests again, and the camp of the [Loki Family] suddenly became noisy.

"Hestia?"

Serven did not suppress his speed. With the help of wind magic, he flew across quickly and soon arrived near the entrance.

Aisi followed closely behind him, and Bell and the other two were left far behind.

Hestia, who had fallen from the passage on the 17th floor to the 18th floor, was complaining to Yamato Mikoto and Kashima Sakura who had come to atone for their sins, "I never heard of that kind of guy appearing..."

At this time, she heard a very familiar voice——

Hestia looked up and rushed towards Serven, "Serven! I finally met you!"

Ais, who followed Serven closely, stopped not far away, staring at Hewen and Hestia. She felt a little disappointed that her favorite potato ball had been bought by someone else.

It was the first time she had seen a woman so passionate about Serven, even Diona was far behind her.

Serven looked at Ming and Sakura who were beside Hestia before, "Ming, Sakura, Chigusa, long time no see."

"Lord Serven, long time no see!"

When Hestia let Serven go, she noticed Ais not far behind Serven, "Warren-kun--!"

"Hey, isn't this Brother Serven?" A blond man wearing a cowboy hat walked down the aisle.

Two female adventurers followed him. One was the "Almighty" Yasfi, who had fought together in the food warehouse on the 24th floor, and the other was an elf girl with green hair wearing a mask that covered her face.

"God Hermes, Yasfei, Ms. Liu, long time no see..."

Hermes and Asphie both nodded in response. Liu's gaze lingered on Serven for several seconds before he spoke, "Long time no see, Mr. Adonis."

Serven's gaze lingered on Hermes for a few more seconds.

"Brother Serven, is there anything strange on my face?" the blond man asked with a smile.

"Nothing, it's just that from my impression, the gods can't come to the dungeon."

"Well, I also accepted the commission. After all, all the members of the Hestia Familia failed to return, and as the main god, she was really anxious."

There was no need to ask any more questions now. Hestia was half-tricked and half-deceived by Hermes into entering the dungeon this time.

Hermes has done all kinds of bad things.

After talking with Serven for a while, Bell and his companions finally arrived.

"Bell, Welf, Lily!" Hestia, the main god, was a little excited.

"Lord Hestia!" "Lord God!"

The three protagonists of the original novel also looked at their main god with some excitement.

"I'm so glad you're all right!" Hestia was a little excited, with tears in her eyes.

Lily's eyes also became moist, and the three of them bowed to Hestia together, "Thanks for your protection!"

"Are you Bell Crane?" Hermes walked up to Bell.

"Huh? Yes."

"Really? It's you." The blond god said with a smile again, "Oh, I've always wanted to meet you. My name is Hermes, nice to meet you!"

"Thank you very much!" Bell said politely, shaking hands with the male god in a friendly manner.

"Nothing, I'm also doing this for my friend Hestia. And if I have anything to thank, I'd rather thank these children who escorted me here."

Sakura, Mikoto, and Chigusa approached somewhat cautiously.

Lily and Welf immediately frowned——

It was because of the monsters given by this group of people that they fell into the situation where they had to find a vertical hole to reach the 18th level.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

"Let's go back to our camp first." Serven said.

But Hermes' next words made Serven regret making that invitation -

"Ah, the camp of the Loki Familia. I'm really curious about what it looks like."

Aisi also frowned and became a little alert.

"Lord Hermes!" Yasfi also warned the Lord God.

"Ah, sorry, sorry—let's get over there quickly then."

Chapter 126: The Annoying Hermes

"Oh, I'm so sorry. We just came here uninvited."

The blond male god smiled and kept talking, "But I'm really surprised. I didn't expect that the one who saved little brother Bell would be you [Loki Family]. What a fate!"

Finn and the others stood opposite Hermes, staring at the familiar male god with cold expressions.

Asphie, who was standing behind Hermes, shook her aqua-blue hair and gave everyone an apologetic look.

"So, God Hermes, you all came here to rescue Bell Crane and his group - right?"

"That's right." Hermes still smiled, "I accepted Hestia's commission. Speaking of which, I'm a little scared to go deep into the dungeon."

Yasfei stepped forward in time and took out the letter of attorney and handed it to Finn and others for circulation. The parchment had written on it the commission of 500,000 yuan and the seal of the guild's certification.

"I hope you will allow us to rest in this camping site. If possible, when you set out from the 18th floor, I hope you will allow us to go with the troops." Yasifei lowered her head sincerely.

"In order to rescue Brother Bell, we entered the 24th underground city without much preparation, and we didn't bring any camping equipment. Moreover, if we stay in a hotel in the town of Rivera, that gangster town is too famous, and it doesn't seem very safe..." The male god added in time.

"That's no problem. As long as you promise us not to cause a commotion, we will allow you to stay here and return together." Finn nodded.

"Oh, sorry to bother you. Thank you, [Hero], I appreciate it."

"No need to be polite." Finn ordered the visitor to leave.

But Hermes seemed not to have heard the hidden meaning of Finn's words, "I noticed that many members of your clan were injured."

"On our way back, we encountered the 'abnormal situation' of the poisonous maggots." Serven explained.

"I see." Hermes looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "You must have been working hard on the expedition. By the looks of you, you should have achieved quite a lot, right?"

There was still a smile on his lips, and his slender eyes, which were originally curved into crescents, were now open.

You can't lie in front of God.

Ais, Diona, Tione, and Raul all opened their eyes wide in surprise at the sudden probing of their male god, and their expressions became a little shaken.

"We are Loki's followers and have no obligation to tell other gods." Livilia was calm. She lowered her eyes and flatly refused to answer.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Yasifi, who was standing behind the Lord God, once again cast an apologetic look at everyone.

"Sorry, I was abrupt." The male god was not affected at all, "You are right. It's just that since Zeus, you are the first person who has the opportunity to step into that field. The whole of Orario is paying close attention to your movements, so I am also very curious."

Seeing that Finn and the others were unmoved, Hermes continued, "In fact, I have formed an alliance with Loki and Dionysus."

Finn, Livilia and Grace's attitudes began to waver a little.

"After all, we are all victims of colorful monsters, so we form an alliance to fight against these monsters and the dark faction together."

"I'm sorry, God Hermes, I can't believe what you say until we return to the ground to confirm it." Finn calmly rejected Hermes' request again.

"That's normal." Hermes nodded. "It doesn't matter whether you believe what I'm going to say or not, but just listen to it for now—"
