Chapter 727 Wood: No need to choose, just let them go together!
Two girls with wheat-colored skin grabbed the other boy's left and right hands and jumped on the eaves at an astonishing speed, and soon arrived at a small, deserted square.
"Both of you, thank you very much for helping me get out of trouble. Otherwise, I would have been really troubled and didn't know what to do in that situation."
Previously, Wood had been helping the "Lady of Plenty" at home. Although he had seen a lot of adventurers, he had never seen them take action, so he had only a vague understanding of the strength of the adventurers.
Although he was dragged away by the Amazon sisters in front of him just now, he was actually secretly observing their strength.
Wood can't see the so-called "skills" and "characteristics" for the time being, but judging from their speed and strength, if these two girls were in the world of pirates, their strength should be as strong as pirates with a bounty of over 100 million.
Already.
If their "skills" and some "characteristic abilities" are added, the evaluation may be even higher.
"Since you thank us for helping you, do you want to repay us?"
The person who spoke was the younger sister Tiona among the Amazon sisters. Her personality seemed to be more lively than her elder sister Tione. At this moment, she also looked at Wood with a somewhat naughty tone and said.
"Please don't mind my sister's rude behavior. She has such a carefree personality."
Compared to her lively sister Tiona, Tione among the Amazon sisters not only has a bigger mind, but also has beautiful long straight black hair.
At this moment, he first apologized politely to Wood, and then said to his sister in an accusing tone: "Tiona, stop fooling around. Have you forgotten the serious business that Loki told you?"
Faced with her sister's scolding, Tiona didn't pay attention. Instead, she stuck out her tongue mischievously, then looked at Wood and said, "So am I going to let my little brother join our family to repay us for helping him just now?"
A favor?"
Looking at the Amazon sisters interacting in front of him, Wood was also a little bit dumbfounded.
Wood naturally knew the "Big Sever" and "Angry Snake" in front of him. After all, they were also famous adventurers in Orario.
Not only are they very powerful, they are also the famous sisters of Orario. Wood once admired them and saw them in the store.
Tione and Tiona must have met him, but Wood was not outstanding before, and his personality was quite introverted, so the Amazon sisters, who are celebrities, should not have noticed a little person like him.
"Although I am very grateful for your help just now, if I need help in the future, I will not delay it, but I think it is better to forget about joining the Loki Familia."
Hearing Wood's answer, Tione and Tiona looked puzzled and asked, "Why? We, the Loki Familiars, are currently one of the strongest Familiars in Orario.
For new adventurers, if they want to become stronger quickly, our dependents are undoubtedly the best choice.
Compared with us, Hestia's family is currently just my brother and one other person, right?
Moreover, you are all new adventurers, so it is very easy for you to encounter danger when going to the dungeon with such a lineup."
The Amazon sisters really didn't understand Wood's refusal without hesitation.
Generally speaking, when adventurers choose dependents, they naturally choose powerful dependents, because powerful dependents have better resources, equipment, etc. Needless to say, their safety will be much higher.
After all, there will be some experienced veteran adventurers among the powerful dependents. They can not only guide you in the dungeon, but also teach you a lot of experience in fighting in the dungeon. These are valuable assets.
If it was because the god Hestia was in front of him before, Wood was embarrassed to go back on his word, but now that there was no one else except them, Wood actually refused without hesitation.
"It has nothing to do with the strength of the Familiars, but one cannot break one's word. Since I have decided to join Hestia's Familiars, I will naturally not go back on my word.
Besides, if Hestia treats me as a family member, it would be even more impossible for me to betray her own family.
As for combat experience and dungeon information, although I am interested, it is also fun to explore on my own, right?"
After hearing what Wood said, Tione and Tiona were both stunned. At the same time, they didn't know how to continue persuading Wood.
After all, the two of them are just members of Loki's family, neither the main god nor the leader, so they cannot put forward more favorable conditions in response to Wood's rejection.
"Hestia, that poor little dwarf, what conditions did you agree to that made you so persistent?
Compared to the little dwarf of the poor god who has nothing, no matter how you look at it, my followers are more competitive. Do you also think that I am inferior to the little dwarf of the poor god?"
Just when the Amazon sisters didn't know how to persuade Wood, Loki slowly walked out from a distance, and looked at Wood and said with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
"As I said to Tione and the others before, I don't care whether my followers are strong or weak.
As for who is better, Loki or Hestia, it’s actually hard to evaluate, right?
For adventurers, the "favor" given by gods has the same effect, right?
What determines the strength of an adventurer is the adventurer's own potential and quality, and it has nothing to do with the strength of the god itself, right?"
Adventurers receive "favors" from gods, can acquire skills and characteristics, and level up by gaining experience. However, the abilities acquired are not determined by the gods who give the "favors", but by the adventurers themselves.
Therefore, in Wood's view, apart from providing certain information about the dungeon, the powerful relatives could not give him much help in other aspects.
As for having veterans to guide him as a newcomer to level up quickly and teach him combat experience, does Wood still need someone to guide him?
"Boy, don't be too arrogant. It is undeniable that you do have outstanding potential and state of mind.
But potential is just potential after all. Until you can turn these things into strength, you are just a rookie adventurer after all.
The dungeon is far more dangerous than you think. There were many children with good potential in the past who entered the dungeon with a arrogant attitude just like you, and ended up never getting out."
Regarding Wood's remarks, Loki frowned slightly. She admitted that Wood's previous performance was indeed quite outstanding, but such a arrogant attitude made her a little unhappy.
Are you planning to rise in a short period of time without relying on experienced adventurers? Are you looking down on dungeons? Or are you simply not paying attention to other adventurers in Orario?
"Arrogance is based on a lack of strength. Without a clear understanding of one's own strength, that is indeed the way to death.
But my situation is called self-confidence, because I am confident enough to become a high-level adventurer in an early period of time, which will eventually make Hestia's family stronger."
Whether they are humans or gods, they all like beings with humble personalities, and I have to say that what Wood said now really made Loki a little unhappy.
It is understandable that a powerful person can be arrogant and arrogant.
But now Wood is just a rookie adventurer who doesn't even have "favor", but he says such arrogant words. This is no longer a matter of arrogance, but pure blindness and stupidity.
"Since you are so confident in your own strength, how about we make a bet?
You should also know Tione and Tiona. Their sisters are considered to be the top group of adventurers among my dependents.
You can now choose one of them as your opponent at will. As long as you can persist in their hands for five minutes, I will admit that what you just said was not bragging, and I will not pester you, and I can even help you deal with other gods.
entanglement.
And if you lose, you have to join my family and go to Hestia and say that the poor god dwarf is not as good as Loki, how about this?"
Just when Loki said the bet, before Wood could speak, Hestia and Bell just arrived.
When Hestia heard what Loki said clearly, she shouted directly: "Wood, don't be fooled by that guy Loki, this guy is the most cunning.
You haven't even accepted the "favor" yet, how can you be a match for the Amazon sisters?
They are all LV4 adventurers, and even among Orario, they are first-class adventurers."
Hestia, who had just arrived, heard about Loki's bet and was about to drag Wood away without thinking. She knew very well that Loki was taking advantage of others.
The gap between each level of adventurers is huge. The Amazon sisters are both LV4 high-level adventurers, while Wood is an ordinary person who has not even accepted "favor". The gap between the two can only be summed up by the gap.
describe.
Although Loki did not let Wood defeat the opponent, and even only had to hold on for five minutes, in Hestia's view, this was still impossible.
"How about it? Don't you even dare to accept such a challenge? It's a shame that you said such words so brazenly before.
If you run away like this in despair, the poor little dwarf will always be looked down upon."
Looking at Wood who was about to be dragged away by Hestia, Loki did not pay attention to Hestia, but continued to look at Wood in a rather frivolous tone and said.
"Wood, don't worry about what Loki said. She just provoked you on purpose, and being called the God of Poverty doesn't mean anything to me..."
Before Hestia could finish her words, she was interrupted by Wood reaching out, and Hestia also discovered that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull Wood beside her.
"I agree to this bet! But if I win, I hope God Loki can agree to one more condition.
That means you have to say in front of the gods that Hestia is not a poor god, but a very charming goddess!"
Upon hearing the conditions proposed by Wood, the expression on Loki's face suddenly distorted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"A very charming goddess? For a dwarf like Hestia!"
As Hestia's mortal enemy, let her say such words in front of the gods, it would be better to kill her directly!
But Loki also knew very well that the reason why Wood proposed this kind of punishment, which was equivalent to "torture" to her, was just to make her quit in spite of the difficulties.
But she, Loki, was not fooled! No matter how outrageous the punishment was, it would only be fulfilled if Wood won.
And just like Hestia's thoughts, Loki also thinks that the possibility of Wood winning the bet is almost zero!
So after hesitating for a moment, Loki almost gritted his teeth and looked at Wood and said, "I agree to your additional conditions! Can our bet begin now?"
You can't go back on your word now, otherwise I will think you are playing tricks on the gods. If the circumstances are serious, I will even submit a "war game" among the relatives to the Adventurer's Guild."
Hestia, who originally wanted to say something, when she heard what Loki said at this moment, her expression showed a look of despair and said: "This will happen..."
"War Game" is a solution to conflicts between two dependents. The two dependents play a certain game to determine the outcome, and the loser must unconditionally agree to any request of the other!
This means that if Wood goes back on his word now, Loki's family will launch a "war game" against Hestia's family.
Naturally, the Hestia Familia just established today cannot be the opponent of Loki's Familia, one of the strongest Familiars with strong soldiers and horses.
If things go to the worst, Hestia's family will most likely be disbanded, and Hestia herself will be expelled from Orario.
"Of course, I have said before that I will not do anything that goes back on my word. Now that I have agreed to a gambling battle, I will naturally go all out.
As a price for the additional conditions I just added, I won’t choose from Tione and Tiona, just let them go together!"
What is arrogance? This is called arrogance! No, this is not even a matter of arrogance, but complete arrogance!
When they heard what Wood said, everyone present was stunned, and the expressions on the faces of the Amazon sisters even became extremely ugly and unhappy.
Because they think Wood is looking down on them! What do you mean by two going together? Does this mean they think they are not opponents if they go alone?
"Originally, I thought Loki's approach was a bit excessive, and I planned to let it go during the battle.
But your attitude, little brother, is so infuriating that I have decided to use all my strength as soon as the battle begins and beat you to the ground!"
Although Tiona has a lively personality and is easy to get along with, she is also very proud. Now that she is so slighted, she is naturally quite angry.
She even had some favorable impressions of Wood originally, but now because of Wood's arrogant remarks, her favorable impressions have dropped directly below the average line.
Compared to the angry Amazon sisters, after Loki was stunned for a short time, he couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Boy, if you want to join my family, you can just say it directly and there is no need to resort to such small tricks.
There's no one else here, so you don't have to worry about your face at all."
