Chapter 763: Lady Hestia doesnt want Lord Wood to be snatched away, right?
"Lady Hestia relies very much on and trusts Master Wood, which Lily has already heard from Master Bell.
But hasn't Hestia ever thought that even if she doesn't accept Lily now, there will be other female adventurers who will join Hestia's family in the future.
Even if Lady Hestia can abuse her power and reject all female adventurers who try to join Hestia's family, can Hestia have the ability to prevent Lady Wood from meeting adventurers from other families?
Lady Hestia, please don’t forget that adventurers spend most of their time in the dungeon every day.”
Hestia, who originally had no intention of listening to Lily's reasons, froze on the spot after hearing the little human girl's words.
The girl was right. When she was in the labyrinth city, Hestia was still able to stop the goddesses and adventurers who tried to approach Wood.
But what should you do if you are in a dungeon? You must know that gods cannot enter dungeons.
Just like the previous elf sister Lyu, didn’t Hestia know nothing about her experience in the dungeon with Wood and Bell?
There are also the Amazon sisters and "Sword Lady" who are familiar with Loki's family. Yesterday, Bell also secretly told her that "Sword Lady" was pestering her Wood to become stronger.
The pair of Amazon sisters even took advantage of Wood and obtained a magic circle inscription comparable to the "Magic Sword".
Whether it was the Amazon sisters or the "Sword Queen", when Hestia learned about them, it was already night, which made Hestia extremely regretful.
If he had been present at the time, he would never have let Loki's family take advantage of him at the airport.
At the same time, what Lily said just now also sounded the alarm in Hestia's heart.
If "Sword Lady" and the Amazon sisters are allowed to keep in contact with their Wood, will their Wood be deceived by the other party in the future?
You must know that Loki is very cunning, and she is also very interested in Wood.
I have been thinking about Freya today, but I have ignored Loki at the airport. Maybe the "Sword Lady" and the Amazon sisters could meet Wood by chance in the dungeon. Was it specially arranged by Loki?
Looking at Hestia, who had been silent for a long time, her expression sometimes troubled and sometimes angry, Lily knew that she was almost ready to take action.
"Because of this incident, Lord Wood's reputation has spread throughout Orario, so there are definitely not a few women who want to get close to Lord Wood because of this.
And Lily is on Lady Hestia's side. Lady Hestia doesn't want Lord Wood to be taken away, and Lily can help Lady Hestia."
Hestia was also stunned when she heard Lily's words, and then she quickly understood what Lily meant.
"You mean..."
"That's right. If Lily joins Hestia's family, then when exploring the dungeon in the future, Lily will naturally act with Lord Wood and others as a supporter.
Lily can not only act as Lady Hestia's spy, but also report Lord Wood's every move in the dungeon to Lady Hestia.
It can also be used as a stumbling block to block female adventurers who try to get close to Master Wood."
After hearing the reasons given by Lily, Hestia's eyes immediately lit up, because Lily's proposal really made her heart move.
And as a goddess, she could also see through Lily's eyes that she was not lying.
There is a saying that is better to block than to open up. Instead of strictly prohibiting other female adventurers from joining their family, it is better to develop those female adventurers into their own people.
After thinking about the pros and cons, Hestia quickly reached an agreement with Lily and granted her a favor, allowing her to become a member of Hestia's family.
"Hestia, haven't you discussed it yet? We have guests coming, and we need to go into the house to discuss business."
Almost at the same time that Hestia was helping Lily complete the favor ceremony, Wood, who was driven outside the door, suddenly shouted into the house.
When hearing Wood's words, Hestia was also stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Wood had only been an adventurer for a long time and he already knew people, and even talked about business at home?
“Crack——————!”
As the door was opened, Hestia looked at the man and woman who were talking to Wood, and looked at each other with her eyes.
This man and woman both look quite young. They should be older than Wood and Bell, but they should be limited in age.
And judging from the clothes on their bodies, they should be adventurers, not businessmen.
"Gui'an, Lady Hestia, my name is Ryan, and my adventurer title is 'Shadow Blade'.
I took the liberty of visiting you this time because I had discussed it with Mr. Wood last time and planned to buy the magic stones dropped by the enhanced Goblin King."
Upon hearing the other party's self-introduction, Hestia suddenly showed a look on her face. She remembered that Wood had indeed mentioned this matter the day before when he defeated the enhanced species.
And this man named Ryan was probably one of the adventurers that Wood rescued at that time.
Hestia did not recognize the man and woman in front of her.
Theoretically speaking, since the opponent has a title, it means that his adventurer level is above LV2.
And if he has a title, then the title must have been given to him by the gods. As a goddess, Hestia should have at least met him once.
However, compared to other gods, Hestia has always been the object of ridicule by the gods in the God Council because she has never had a dependent before, so she almost never goes to the God Council.
Except for a few extremely famous adventurers in Orario, Hestia basically didn't know the other adventurers.
So Hestia didn't even know the Ryan in front of her. She didn't even know which family he was from.
"Lady Hestia, I have heard of the title 'Shadow Blade'. He is a LV3 adventurer in Orario and a member of Freya's family."
Hestia didn't know Ryan, but Lily beside him knew his name.
After all, there are not many adventurers at level 3 and above in Orario, and with Lily as a supporter, she naturally has to do more intelligence work than others, so at this moment, she stood on tiptoe and secretly whispered into Hestia's ear.
said.
Looking at Lily and Hestia who were biting their ears in front of them, Wood and Bell were completely stunned.
If I remember correctly, Hestia had a strong prejudice against Lily just now, and even claimed that she would not be allowed to join her family no matter what.
How long has it been? They just stood outside for a few minutes, not a few days, and the relationship between the two has become so good?
Seeing the confused look Bell looked at him, Wood also spread his hands and said that he didn't know anything. Perhaps the relationship between women was more complicated than they thought.
"What? They are members of Freya's family!"
Hestia had never heard of the so-called "Shadow Blade", but Hestia could clearly hear the key word "Freya" in Lily's words.
"Yes, Lady Hestia, we are members of Freya's family. I believe Lady Hestia also understands that if we were the family members, we would definitely be able to buy the magic stones in your hands.
Among the entire Orario, I don’t think anyone can compete with our family members. Of course, the price we offer will definitely satisfy everyone.”
Seeing Hestia's surprised expression when she heard that she was from "Freya's Familia", Ryan also had a proud expression on his face.
The Freya Familia is one of the strongest Familiars in the entire Orario. Although it is tied for the strongest with the Loki Familia, their current overall strength is that the Freya Familia is stronger.
Although Loki's Familia has two LV6 adventurers, their leader is the only LV7 adventurer in Orario. Even if the "brave" and "Nine Demon Queens" come together, they may not necessarily be the "fierce one".
's opponent.
Therefore, Ryan is more proud of being a member of Freya's family than his own LV3 level.
However, soon, Hestia's next reaction was somewhat beyond Ryan's expectation.
Originally, Ryan thought that after hearing that he was an adventurer from Freya's family, he would be treated as a distinguished guest.
But who knew that the look in Goddess Hestia's eyes when she looked at him would instantly become extremely repulsive and disgusting?
"You should go back, not the people of Freya's family! The children of my family will not have anything to do with the people of Freya's family."
As for Hestia, not to mention Ryan and the elf girl who came to buy the magic stone, even Wood and Bell were stunned on the spot.
Wood even asked directly with a confused look on his face: "Hestia, don't you have some issues with the goddess Freya?"
The relationship between Hestia and Loki is very bad. Wood and Bell have known this for a long time. From the current situation, it is not difficult to see that Hestia does not seem to have a good impression of Freya's family?
The two strongest Familiars in Orario don't have a good relationship with Hestia Familia. What the hell is going on?
It would be fine to say that the strength of their Hestia Familia is comparable to Freya's Familia and Loki's Familia, but the point of the problem now is that their Hestia Familia is just a rookie.
Their retinues are very strong, either at LV5 or LV6, and there are even some at LV7, but their Hestia retinues only have two or three kittens now.
Even if we include Lily, who has just joined the family, and including him, the shabby leader, there are only three people in total.
"Goddess Hestia, can you give us a reason?
As far as I know, we, the Freya family, should have no personal grudges with the Hestia family."
As a member of Freya's family, Ryan naturally knows the hostile relationship between their family and other Orario family members.
If we talk about the Loki Familia, then it is undeniable that the Freya Familia does have a certain degree of competition with them.
But how long has Hestia's family been established, and even the goddess Hestia has only come down from heaven? How could she become enemies with their family?
"This is a matter between me and your main god Freya, and has nothing to do with the family itself... But in short, I don't want my family's children to have too much contact with members of your Freya family, especially female adventurers!"
When they saw Hestia staring at him as she spoke, the elf girl of Freya's family also looked confused.
She didn't even understand it. She didn't seem to have done anything. Why was Mao suddenly being targeted?
"Ignore this fool, Ryan, just tell me what price you plan to pay for the magic stone in my hand."
Hearing that the reason why Hestia boycotted Freya's family was because of a personal grudge with Freya, Wood simply ignored this guy and turned to look at Ryan in front of him and asked.
However, this actually cannot be blamed on Hestia being too neurotic. Today she received a provocation from Freya, and not long after that, people from Freya's family came to the door.
There was even a beautiful elf girl among the people who came to the door, so I really can't blame her for thinking too much.
"If the magic stone in Mr. Wood's hand is sold to the guild, it can probably be purchased for about 800,000 mana, right?
I have already discussed it with our leader, and we, the Freya family, plan to purchase the magic stone from Mr. Wood at a price of 1.5 million manares. What do you think?"
The price of 1.5 million faries was actually the bottom line price given by their leader Ota, and Ryan actually wanted to quote a price of 1.2 million faries at the beginning, and then slowly bargain with Wood.
But he didn't expect that the main god of Hestia's Familia would be so prejudiced against Freya's Familia.
Lane is also worried that if the price he gives is too low, he will be kicked out directly, so now he is extremely straightforward and gives the bottom line price.
In Orario, magic stones are the absolute hard currency, because they are almost the only energy source in Orario.
Whether it is making magic swords, potions, magic circles, etc., magic stones are needed as energy sources.
Large magic stones with pure magic power are very rare, which is why even though those floor masters are powerful and dangerous, they are still being killed while squatting.
But even if you are the floor master, not every time you kill, you will drop a huge magic stone.
Freya's family is currently preparing to forge several powerful magic swords to explore the deep areas of the dungeon. Now they are lacking large pieces of magic stone with pure magic power, so Ryan is so concerned about the magic stone in Wood's hand.
Determined to win.
"Then it's 1.5 million mana. You can take the magic stone and leave the money to me."
Wood was quite satisfied with the quotation given by Ryan. At the same time, he could also see that because of Hestia's attitude, the price she gave was already full of sincerity.
The price is almost twice the market price. To be honest, if Freya's family had not been in urgent need of a large magic stone, the magic stone that Wood had on hand would not have been able to buy it at this price.
If you continue to bargain at such a price, it will be a bit ugly to be popular.
