Lililuka's pupils shrank, and she could no longer maintain that hypocritical smile. Her face was full of fear and panic.
Cinderella.
This is the rare magic that she relies on for survival. She can freely transform into various appearances and has an unparalleled ability in disguise and infiltration.
If she were in any other clan, she would have been carefully trained. However, in the Soma clan that had been thrown into chaos by the divine wine, her status was not even as high as that of a gatekeeper.
This should be a secret that only he knew, but Roland said it out loud. Are the legendary heroes able to find suitable companions because of this ability?
It's so unfair. He obviously couldn't choose his own birth, but relying on this talent, he can freely choose his own future...
Looking at Roland with a playful look on his face, for some reason, a stubborn anger surged in Lily's heart.
"I refuse! I will never help you adventurers!"
Lily raised her head as much as possible, calmed her throbbing heart, and looked at Roland boldly.
Adventurers are all the same kind of people anyway, they only know how to bully the weak. Even if you are a hero chosen by the immortals, can you change anything?
He can save many people, but he cannot touch the realm of God.
Looking at the uncooperative Lily, Roland's eyes flashed and he stretched out a hand towards her.
Just when the girl subconsciously thought that her head was going to be crushed, she felt a warm touch on her head.
She opened her eyes hazily and found that Roland had taken off her hood and was stroking her head without hesitation.
So warm...
Lily squinted her eyes comfortably as she hadn't been treated so intimately for a long time. But gradually, she felt her head getting a little hot.
“Yoshi-yoshi-yoshi-yoshi-yoshi!”
"What are you doing!"
Lily, whose head was being rubbed at high speed, pushed Roland away in embarrassment.
"Well... it seems to be very convenient, so let's try it and see what happens."
"Are you an urchin, sword hero?"
Roland chuckled and held up a finger.
"As a condition for helping me, I can give you a promise."
"A promise?"
Lily pursed her lips, showing an interested expression, but quickly shook her head.
"I don't trust you adventurers. After all, I am too weak to negotiate with you. What can I do if you regret it after the matter is done?"
"Are you going to spread the word everywhere that you don't keep your promise?"
Lily had learned a painful lesson in this regard. She didn't know how many times she had worked hard to help others pick up magic stones, but she didn't get the agreed magic stones at all. In the worst cases, the magic stones were taken for herself.
"That's not necessary. It's well known where I come from that I don't keep my promises. However, in the end, it all depends on how difficult it is to keep the promise."
Roland said seriously: "If it is something that is beneficial to me, I will generally abide by such a promise."
"Then you will definitely not agree to Lily's conditions."
Is breaking a promise something to be proud of? Lily looked at Roland in front of her speechlessly. However, the fact that a hero who was completely different from her could be so frank made her trust him more.
She was silent for a while, with a helpless expression on her face.
"My only wish is to leave the Soma clan and convert to another religion. Can you fulfill this request?"
Lililuka Erde is a member of the Soma clan, but as a dwarf, she is not suitable for fighting and adventuring, so it is impossible for her to be added voluntarily. The Soma clan, a small clan that does not even have the obligation to go on expeditions, naturally cannot take members from other clans.
There was only one reason why Lily received the favor.
She was born into the Soma clan.
This is not the so-called fatalism, but reality. Her parents are both members of the Soma clan. Therefore, she has received favors at a very young age and has the obligation to be loyal to the clan.
Logically speaking, such people with good family background should be treated well, but this is not the case in the Soma clan.
As the god of wine, Soma can make divine wine even without using his divine power by relying on materials and skills from the underworld.
It is a terrifying existence that can make people intoxicated both physically and psychologically, and it is not harmful. It only brings people unimaginable pleasure. In the underworld, even the gods of other clans will pursue Soma's magic wine.
But since it is alcohol, it is natural that it is addictive.
If there is no corresponding resistance, even lv2 will be immersed in it, needless to say lv1, they simply cannot resist this madness.
Most of the members are level 1 members of the Soma clan. Naturally, their minds were controlled and they would do anything for the divine wine. This made Sumo disappointed, so he simply gave up completely and focused on making wine. As long as the clan could still provide him with wealth and materials for making wine, it would be fine.
In order to reach his standards and obtain the gift of divine wine, this clan quickly became corrupt, and everyone in the clan became like a possessed gambler, constantly trying to make money, and even their own clan members would do whatever it takes to rob them.
There is no control, no rules. This is the current state of the Soma clan. With the main god completely in a state of disarray, it is easy to imagine how difficult it would be for Lily to convert.
But Roland smiled. He had little power, no one cared about him, and he had a specialty that was quite malleable. This was simply tailor-made for him.
Just change the name.
"It's a piece of cake. I just happen to know a suitable clan that is eager to recruit talents."
Roland snapped his fingers. "Let's go to the base of the Soma clan now. In return, you have to work hard for me. Whether the divine wine can be sold outside of Orario depends entirely on you."
"Eh?"
Seeing Roland act so swiftly and without even any hesitation, Lily could no longer hide the surprise on her face.
Is there really such a kind-hearted hero in the world? Obviously, what I can give is far less than what he wants to do. As long as he really controls the Soma clan, I myself will not be able to escape from his palm...
The expression on Lily's face became more complicated. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. She just followed Roland closely.
The next moment, a dark shadow enveloped them, and under Lily's guidance, they soon arrived in front of a building in the corner of Orario.
Unlike other clans, this one looked unremarkable, without even a crest to show off its identity, and the door was tightly closed.
"Is this the base of the Soma clan?"
"Yes, usually no one outside opens the door. Everyone is drunk and hiding inside the base. I went to ask them to open the door..."
It was the first time that Lily returned to the clan's base during the day. She looked at Roland in confusion. Although she had not yet converted, she had consciously assumed the responsibility of running errands.
Although they had not been together for a long time, she could still see that Roland was more like a secular monarch than a hero.
"No need to bother with that... As the new master of this clan, I have to teach these bastards some rules."
Roland smiled kindly and raised his own hand instead of asking Esther next to him to take action.
"I also want to try and see what kind of changes those growths have brought to me."
Brilliant and dazzling flames shot out from Roland's palm like a sunset cloud, directly blowing up the gate of the Soma clan and a large area of buildings in front. The flying debris was like waves, making a shrill whistle, and the gravel rolled down like raindrops, hitting the base behind the Soma clan, announcing Roland's arrival with a silent and huge noise.
Lily looked at the scene in disbelief, her face full of shock. For a moment, amid the scattered glory and the roar of the explosion, only Roland was left laughing loudly.
"——Experience the burning power!"
Chapter 127: Holy Lord's Family
Layers of flames swept across everything with violent noises. The blazing flames kept rolling, spreading the burning trajectory to the entire Soma clan.
Roland watched the sparks flying out and the violent friction with the atmosphere, and his laughter became more and more arrogant.
This divine power finally began to show its true form. Until now, Roland could finally say that this divine power had escaped the scope of the talisman and regained its noble essence.
"boom--!"
The deafening explosion mixed with wind pressure continued, overturning all the surrounding broken walls and ruins. The earth looked like it had been hit by a giant, and it was covered with dense streams of light, and all that came into view was a red tide.
The burning flames continued to explode, burning the earth and making the air boil. In an instant, all Lily could see were gorgeous flowers of fire that relied on the land and air for nourishment and blossomed on the miserable ruins!
Such noise caused a noisy sound and uncontrollable commotion behind the flames, with panicked shouts coming one after another.
"good,"
Roland shrugged, very satisfied with the result.
Logically speaking, the normal procedure for dealing with the Soma clan should be to teach them a lesson, let Soma wake up, and then reach a deal for the divine wine, but is the other party worthy of it?
Since he began to gradually replenish his strength, Roland has become much gentler, but this is only because of the leeway brought by his self-confidence. Just like a human who sits back and watches ants fight, his arrogance is just hidden deeper.
Before long, a group of people came up and began to surround the fire while trying to contain it.
Even ordinary people can sense the madness and evil in these people's eyes. In such a hostile environment, that morbid feeling is even more obvious.
But the man walking in front had a very rational look in his eyes.
Chanis Lustra is one of the few level 2 adventurers in the Soma clan. His nickname is the Wine Keeper. Compared to Soma, as the leader, he is the real ruler of this clan.
Chanis frowned and looked at Roland standing in the firelight. He quickly recognized his identity and the extraordinary Esther and Lily behind him.
"Roland, the hero who defeated Sword Princess, although I have long heard of your great name, I wonder what you can do for me that requires me to destroy the stronghold of the Soma clan as a gift?"
He forced a somewhat gloomy smile on his face and glanced at the wreckage around him.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
Such damage was undoubtedly caused by magic. Considering the opponent's legend, it was not surprising that the hero possessed such power. Chanis did not expect the group of soldiers behind him to pose any threat to Roland. He, who was at level 2, could fight against these monsters whose minds had been taken away by the magic wine. Roland, who was able to defeat the Sword Girl, could probably wipe them out by himself.
"You have joined the guild and become an adventurer. You have joined the Familiar. Although we cannot compare with you, we are still a member of the Familiar of the Gods. If you leave, we will not hold the hero responsible for these losses. But if you continue to pester us and even declare war, we will have no choice but to seek the guild to defend our rights."
If Roland was still a free man, he would not dare to speak to the famous man who was watched by the gods in this way even if he had more courage. But after hearing that the other party had joined a small clan, became an adventurer, and had begun to integrate into Orario, Chanis began to use his power to suppress him.
The guild is responsible for maintaining order. If Roland joined a large clan, he would have to swallow his anger. However, the other party's gods are not strong either, so he plans to transfer the conflict in this regard to the gods.
"If such an unprovoked provocation is brought to the divine assembly without a proper reason, I'm afraid your Lord God will not feel good about it, right?"
"Only the weak need reasons to act. I do whatever I want!"
Roland sneered, his eyes becoming more nonchalant.
Chanis's face froze and his expression gradually solidified. He felt as if he was being stared at by something dangerous. A deep chill spread from the depths of his spinal cord to the bottom of his heart.
He looked at Roland who was walking towards him step by step, and still drew his weapon.
"Please stop, or we will have no choice but to take action! Besides, we have dealings with the Apollo family..."
Before Chanis could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sigh.
"To speak so easily and arrogantly only reveals your weakness."
Then, his neck seemed to be strangled by something invisible, and he slowly floated into the air. Feelings of suffocation and weakness surged up at him, but he could not even struggle. He was like a fly wrapped in amber, unable to move.
Roland walked slowly in front of him and nodded.
"It's level 2, the brain is barely usable, and after being strengthened it can barely be used as a temporary prop. It's not a pity to discard it, so I'll take it."
Hearing these strange words, the fear on Chanis's face became more obvious. What kind of magic was this? Even at level 2, he was definitely not a weakling, but in front of Roland, he couldn't even make a sound to beg for mercy.
Therefore, he could only float in front of Roland like a trophy that nobles hung on the wall to show off their military exploits, allowing the other party to look at him as if he were selecting an item.
"After all, I'm going to be the main fighter, so I should give it more weight."
A ball of purple demonic energy appeared in Roland's hand and gently pierced into the opponent's eyes, causing visible changes to appear on Chanis' body.
Then, before the other person completely lost consciousness, a black wave rushed up and swallowed him completely.
The other members of the Soma clan were in even worse condition. They collapsed to the ground as if they had lost all their strength. They didn't know when the dark quagmire had slowly swallowed them up and was continuously seeping into their bodies.
"what……"
Such a strange sight made Lily's legs go weak. She screamed subconsciously, with a look of confusion on her face.
She looked at Roland with fear and bewilderment, but did not run away. Instead, she took the initiative to walk up to Roland.
"Did you kill them all? If so, it will be troublesome. We must leave the scene immediately. Soma God will not intervene, but it is impossible for him not to show up in this situation. We should be able to buy some time if we deal with the traces. Let's leave quickly..."
Although she is still in good age and tends to be realistic, the girl named Lily has obviously already realized that she is an accomplice.
"That would be such a waste..."
Roland smiled frivolously and continued.
"I just gave them a new life."
As if to prove his words, huge bubbles once again rose up from the dark swamp, and dark figures resurfaced. The crazy temperament on them had completely disappeared, replaced by arrogant indifference.
In the bubble closest to Roland appeared a creature who would not be surprised to be killed as a monster. His body was covered with green scales and his hands had been replaced by claws, but his face still vaguely resembled Chanis.
However, the gloomy captain that Lily was familiar with did not show any anger on his face at this moment. He looked at Roland respectfully and slowly knelt on the ground.
Even when facing her own main god, Lily had never seen him show such respect.
