"Lord God, all right, we can go now."

Bai Ke walked out of the bathroom. He was a clean person, so after dealing with the dishes, he naturally washed his hands.

"Then let's set off now. I can't wait to see the surprised expression on Shenyou's serious face."

Hestia, who was killing time with a book, jumped up immediately upon hearing this and said excitedly.

The god and the man came to the front of the bookstore one after another. Bai Ke greeted the store manager and said, "Manager, I'll be away for a while. I'll be back in the afternoon."

"Little Bai, after becoming an adventurer, you must not take risks..."

The old store manager gave another solemn instruction, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

"Manager, I understand, and my work is not over yet, so I won't leave now."

Bai Ke nodded seriously, then said something with a smile, then he took the initiative to pick up the books Hestia bought and walked out of the bookstore.

"Goodbye, grandpa."

Hestia waved to the old store manager, then quickly caught up with Bai Ke, overtook him, and came to the front to lead the way.

After leaving the bookstore and coming onto the street, Bai Ke asked:

"Lord God, would you like to call a carriage? If we walk like this, it will take at least two hours to reach the northeastern region, the base of your friend Hephaestus's clan."

"no, I'm fine."

Hestia shook her head and said:

"Hephaestus is in the branch today. The branch is on Northwest Street, not far from here."

"I see."

Bai Ke nodded in understanding.

Indeed, as one of the largest forging factions, the Hephaestus clan does have many branches of varying sizes in the city.

Qianxun э一2①1

A man and a god walked along the street and entered the main road of the northwest district.

If someone looks down from above, they will find that the labyrinth city of Orario is like a huge cake, neatly cut into eight parts by eight main roads, which also form eight prosperous streets.

Northwest Street, also known as Adventurer Street, is where the largest number of adventurers gather. The guild headquarters is located here. There are many weapon stores, prop stores, hotels and other stores that serve adventurers.

There must be many branch roads along the main road. The street where the bookstore is located is one of the branch roads derived from Northwest Street.

Chapter 14: Gifts

The bustle and prosperity of Northwest Street is obviously several levels higher than that of the branch streets. The same goes for the noise. If people walking on the street don't speak loudly enough, the people around them can't hear them clearly.

On the main road, pedestrians, travelers, bards, and merchants formed a flow of people, and horse-drawn carriages carrying various goods were constantly alternating in the middle of the road.

Here, there seems to be no difference between adventurers, gods, and ordinary people. No one will pay special attention to them, or even show reverence for them.

Hestia and Bai Ke walked towards the less crowded area beside the main road, but there were still a lot of people.

Bai Ke took the initiative to walk in front, using his tall body to separate the crowd for Hestia, while she followed closely behind Bai Ke, holding onto the corner of his clothes.

As we continued to advance, we saw more and more shops selling armor and weapons, more adventurers wearing various equipment, and a noticeable decrease in the density of people.

Bai Ke and Hestia stopped in front of a shop.

This is a weapons store that is more than twice the size of the surrounding shops. Its bright colors make it very conspicuous on this street lined with shops.

"This is the property of my God-Friends family."

Hestia introduced herself to Bai Ke and then led him inside.

Arriving at the counter, Hestia said to the receptionist:

"Hello, could you please help me return these books to my family and put them in my room?"

Hestia said, patting Bai Ke's arm, and he put the book on the counter with understanding.

The receptionist obviously knew Hestia. She glanced at the books and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Lord Hestia."

Then Hestia did not stay here, and took Bai Ke into a space driven by magic stone, which was similar to an elevator. However, there was no door inside, and the guards next to them did not stop them.

After pressing the start button and the floor number, the man and the god soon arrived at the top third floor.

"Lord Goddess Hestia, please wait a moment. My Lord Goddess has not yet finished his official duties."

The person on duty not far from the elevator immediately warned Hestia when he saw her coming.

"How long will it take Hephaestus to finish his business?"

Hestia asked impatiently. She really wanted to show off to her good friend that she had found her Familia.

The female staff member on duty glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and replied, "Lord God, it will take about half an hour."

"I'll take you to the lounge first. Please wait for a moment."

As the man spoke, he began to lead the way, bringing the man and the god to a lounge, then made two cups of black tea for them and brought a plate of snacks before leaving.

This is an elegant lounge with all kinds of decorations. It also has a floor-to-ceiling window from which you can enjoy the bustling street below from a high vantage point.

While waiting, Bai Ke did not plan to sit idle, so he discussed with Hestia about how to develop the clan.

Hestia didn't know much about the Familia, and although Bai Ke knew more than Hestia, what he knew was still limited and was just some widely circulated information.

However, after the two of them discussed it, they came up with a rough plan.

First of all, we need to solve the problem of where to live.

Hestia stayed at her friend's house first, while Bai Ke took advantage of his free time at work in the past few days to look for a house to rent as the family's base.

Qianxun's first release: 312814139

By then, Hestia will be able to leave the Shenyou family and get rid of the boarding life.

In order to support this plan, Hestia took out all the money she had and gave it to Bai Ke as money for rent and purchasing equipment.

However, out of more than 90,000 fares, Bai Ke only took 90,000, leaving a few thousand fares for the goddess' daily use.

crunch~

At this time, the door opened.

The girl had fiery red hair, an eye patch on her right eye, and her left pupil was as red as a gem. She was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, dressed like a beautiful woman in men's clothing.

Bai Ke saw the man get up from the sofa, walk behind Hestia, and consciously act as a guard.

Whatever job you do, whatever you do.

Since he was now a member of Hestia's family, he still had to fulfill his obligations.

"Hestia, I didn't keep you waiting too long."

Hephaestus entered the lounge and said to Hestia with a smile.

"Hephaestus!"

Hestia happily threw herself into Hephaestus' arms, very excited. She pulled Hephaestus towards Bai Ke and said with obvious boasting in her tone:

"Hephaestus, let me introduce you to my first Familiar, Bai Ke."

"Oh~ You found your clan so quickly. I thought it would take you at least a month or two~."

Hephaestus' tone was full of surprise, and then she looked at Bai Ke with a scrutinizing gaze. Her eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to see through Bai Ke's true nature.

"Hello, Hephaestus, Lord God."

Noticing that Hephaestus was looking at him, Bai Ke greeted her politely without being servile or arrogant.

"Ah hello."

Hephaestus replied politely, then turned to Hestia beside her and said:

"You found a great kid."

"Yeah, yeah, I think so too."

Hestia nodded vigorously, looking very happy. It was obvious that she was very happy that her Familia was recognized by her good friend.

The two gods sat down face to face on the sofa. Bai Ke took out a teacup and tea leaves from the cabinet beside him and used the kettle that the female attendant had brought just now to make a cup of black tea for him.

He placed the black tea in front of Hephaestus, then added water for his main god. After doing all this, he returned to the back of his main god to act as a bodyguard.

"Hestia, tell me, how did you meet this child, and how did you get him to join your Familia?"

Hephaestus glanced at Bai Ke and asked curiously, supporting her chin.

Hestia looked very proud as she recounted what happened today, but she made some slight changes to some parts of the story.

When the two were talking in the back of the bookstore, it was not that she was confused by the questions, but that she confused Bai Ke with her questions, and then took advantage of the victory to capture Bai Ke in one fell swoop and made him her dependent.

Bai Ke's forehead turned black after hearing this. This is really ridiculous...

After hearing the whole story, Hephaestus looked at Bai Ke a little confused. Is this child so brave?

He actually joined a clan with no one.

Or was he fooled by Hestia?

But with his friend's clumsy appearance, could he really fool people?

Hephaestus was a little skeptical, but when she saw the black lines on Bai Ke's forehead and her friend's chuckling expression, she immediately reacted.

Although she was curious about the story between Hestia and her family, Hephaestus was not the kind of god who would get to the bottom of things, so she did not delve into the matter further.

"Now that you have your first Familiar, Hestia, then as your friend, I naturally have to give him a gift."

Hephaestus looked at Bai Ke and asked:

"Bai Ke, I don't know what kind of weapon you like, I'll give you one as a gift."

Bai Ke hesitated for a moment, then continued:

"A knife, preferably a long one."

"Okay, I'll have Hestia give it to you tomorrow."

Hephaestus nodded and continued:

"But the quality of the sword is only good enough for lower-level adventurers."

“For me, the right one is the best.”

Bai Ke replied.

Hephaestus then turned serious, looked at her friend, and asked:

"Hestia, are you ready to be independent?"

"Hephaestus, I'm ready~"

Hestia said with some confidence, and then she told him about the plan she had made with Bai Ke.

"Your plan is too risky."

After hearing this plan, Hephaestus couldn't help but frown.

I don't know how to do it, but I know it's a long time

Not to mention what to do if I can’t find a house, even if I do find one, how can I pay the rent for next month?

You know, in this prosperous Orario, the rent is very expensive. Even if it is not in the prosperous area of ​​the main road, the rent of a better house is generally around 100,000 per month.

It is hard to say whether a new adventurer can earn 100,000 faris in a month by going to the dungeon.

Not to mention that although adventurers earn a lot, they also spend a lot, such as the wear and tear of weapons and equipment, and the use of various potions.

After living like this, there is basically nothing left after spending. How can I pay the rent?

"Forget it... After all, you are my god friend..."

Hephaestus sighed, glanced at Hestia unhappily, then looked at Bai Ke and said:

"If you don't find a suitable house next time, I will help you find one then."
