Chapter 778 Wood returns and begins the face-slapping session!
If it were in the past, Hestia would naturally not choose to compromise after knowing that she was tricked by Apollo.
In addition to not being willing to suffer the disadvantage of being mute, another reason is because Hestia's family members are very poor.
But now Hestia is no longer what it used to be, and has even changed from a shotgun to a cannon.
Not to mention that Bell and Lily, who are now at LV2, can get a stable income from the dungeon every day. The magic guidance fee that Wood received from Loki's family alone is worth tens of millions of mana.
Although this kind of wealth is still not comparable to that of Orario's medium and large family members, it is not so embarrassing that he can't even afford medical expenses.
In order to calm the matter, Hestia was even prepared to be opened by Apollo's lion.
"No, no, no, Hestia, you still underestimate me. If you just want monetary compensation, I can just let my child Hyacintos come. Why come here in person?
You have to see clearly, my children have been injured like this. They may say goodbye to their career as adventurers in the future, and we, the Apollo family, will also lose a brave and capable child.
What kind of loss do you think can be compensated for by just money?"
After hearing Apollo's words, Hestia's face instantly turned ugly, and the surrounding gods suddenly looked at Apollo with even more contempt.
Good guy, I think the price offered by Hestia is not satisfactory enough, and even a fool can see now that Apollo's purpose is not money, but wants to get people directly!
As for who its target is, everyone present knows with all their arse that there is only one child among Hestia's family that Apollo can shamelessly snatch away.
He wanted to replace Hestia's most outstanding child with a useless passerby child. Apollo's appearance was simply not ordinary ugly.
"How about it? Hestia, this child of mine who may have to bid farewell to his career as an adventurer is a LV2 adventurer, so you pay me a LV2 child. This should be fair, right?"
Hearing Apollo's extremely shameless words, the gods and Hestia who were watching all admired each other's shamelessness.
Can words like "fairness" come out of Apollo's mouth?
Although they are both LV2 adventurers, can the child Apollo is lying on the stretcher be compared to the "Great Sage"?
The former is just an inferior character in Orario, but the latter is the holder of the record for the fastest upgrade in history, has done a series of amazing deeds, and is even an outstanding child who was dubbed the "Great Sage" by the gods.
To put it bluntly, the limit of that child Apollo is probably LV2.
But the "Great Sage" of Hestia's family, his LV2, is just the starting point.
Comparing the two would make people laugh out loud, let alone exchanging the two.
They are completely different dimensions of existence and cannot be regarded as equal exchange at all. The so-called "fairness" is even more nonsense!
"Wood is my best and most beloved child, and I will not leave him to anyone.
And my children are not objects, I will not trade them like commodities, I will only follow their own wishes.
Apollo, you should tell me your other requests. If you want me to hand over Wood, then I advise you to just give up!"
Apollo was not surprised at all by Hestia's rejection, because it was completely expected.
So at this moment, he also spread his hands and said: "If we can't reach an agreement, then we can only go to war.
I think you should be quite familiar with the rules of the ‘war game’ between the dependents, Hestia.”
That's right, starting a "war game" with Hestia's family is actually Apollo's ultimate goal.
Hestia would refuse to hand over Wood, which was completely within Apollo's expectation. After all, Apollo had seen Hestia dare to face Freya's provocation for Wood's sake.
And Hestia's refusal also played into Apollo's hands.
To be honest, Apollo really had a crush on not only Wood, but also Bell and Lily.
No, it should be said that even Hestia, the famous virgin goddess, has been coveted by Apollo for a long time.
If Hestia compromises this time, he can only get Wood's child.
But if he wins the "War Game", according to the rules of the game, Apollo will be able to get the entire Hestia family, including Hestia, the main god.
After all, the rules of the "war game" are that the winner has the right to use any method to deal with the loser, whether it is to treat the opponent as a slave, or to completely expel the opponent.
The gods around him who originally looked down upon Apollo's behavior now had excitement written all over their faces when they heard words like "war games".
Although Orario has always had game rules like "War Game", few family members have always chosen to resolve conflicts in this way.
There is no other reason. Although the method is simple and crude, the price is too huge. Once you lose the war game, you will almost become the prey of others.
"War Game" Orario has not been played for a long time, and the person affected this time is not herself, so the gods who are too idle are naturally happy to watch the show.
"You want to start a 'war game', Apollo, are you serious?"
After hearing that Apollo changed his usual behavior and directly announced that he wanted to start a war with Hestia's family, it was Hestia's turn to be cautious and worried.
Even a fool can see that Apollo is setting up Bell again this time and is constantly building momentum. He is obviously well prepared.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, I want to launch a "war game" against Hestia's family members. The guild has made an agreement before, right?
When there are irreconcilable conflicts between two family members, everything can be resolved through "war games". The loser will lose everything, and the winner will have everything.
Hestia, don't you trust your child? Then you should accept this "War Game" invitation, right?
No, it should be said that with the current position of your dependents, there is no other choice but to accept it, right?"
Seeing Apollo's face begin to twist with pride, Hestia's expression also became extremely ugly.
Just like Apollo said, because of the other party's calculations, there are only two choices left in front of Hestia's family.
Either he refuses the "war game" invitation from Apollo's family, but the price must be compensated according to Apollo's request.
Either accept the invitation of the "War Game" and engage in a deadly fight with the other party. If you win, you can not only solve everything, but you can even deprive Apollo's family of everything.
But on the other hand, if they lose, the Hestia family will really have nothing.
Hestia stood there with her fists clenched, her body trembling, and her eyes staring fiercely at Apollo in front of her.
The reason is also very simple. Although Hestia's family is getting stronger and stronger, Hestia is gradually getting rid of the title of "Poor God".
But if they really wanted to play a "war game" with Apollo's family, Hestia honestly felt that their chances of winning were slim.
Although Apollo's behavior is ugly, it has to be said that among the many dependents of Orario, his followers are also the backbone of the existence. They are not at the same level as the previous "Soma Families".
.
And more importantly, Wood has not returned for more than a week, and Hestia and the others don't know when Wood will return to the ground.
At this juncture, they were going to war with the opponent. They were missing a general, which made the game with a low winning rate even more unsuspicious.
Although Bell and Lily have grown a lot under Wood's guidance, and Bell is about to reach LV3, the gap in numbers between the two sides is still there.
The "War Game" is a war between two members of the family. All members of the family are eligible to participate. How could Bell and Lily alone defeat hundreds of members of Apollo's family?
But if he refuses the war game invitation, Apollo will take away his Wood on the grounds of compensation.
If you don't accept it, judging from the current fighting strength of both families, Hestia's family has no chance of winning.
In short, regardless of whether they accept it or not, for the Hestia family, they will lose their child Wood. This is simply a proposition.
"Apollo, you bastard must have planned it a long time ago. You specifically picked the time when Wood was away to launch a war game against our family members!"
Hestia could finally see that Apollo's sudden attack today was completely planned.
If Wood is here, even if the two sides engage in a "war game", it is not completely impossible for them to win.
But now Wood is exploring the depths of the dungeon. Even if the two sides start a war game, it is impossible for him to make it back in time.
Perhaps when he returned to the ground, he would have discovered that the Hestia Familia he originally belonged to had now completely become a part of the Apollo Familia.
"Hestia, with your abilities, you are not worthy of having such an outstanding child by your side. I, Apollo, am the best destination for that child.
At the same time, I also admit that the child is very strong, but he alone can't change anything at all.
Not to mention that he is not here now, even if he does come back in time and participates in the war game, your chances of winning are definitely not good!"
Of course, Apollo, who is now confident, is just talking about it. He will launch a war game against the Hestia Family at this time. The main reason is because Apollo feels that the Hestia Family does not have the greatest combat power of Wood at the moment.
s reason.
From the moment it targeted Wood, Apollo had been sending people to secretly follow Bell and the others.
During this week, Apollo also made sure that Wood would not be able to return to the ground for the time being, so he dared to launch a war game against Hestia.
He Apollo just has a bad reputation, but that doesn't mean he has a low IQ. The "War Game" is a huge gamble with everything on the line, and Apollo naturally wants to win the game without any suspense.
However, Wood has a good reputation. Although he is only a LV2 adventurer, he has already had a record of single-handedly challenging the entire Soma family and the LV4 Amazon sisters. He, Apollo, is also worried about capsizing in the gutter.
"I see. Isn't Hestia's child among the dependents recently? I was still wondering how this guy Apollo changed his gender and suddenly dared to make such a big gamble. So that's what happened."
"I have to say that although Apollo is a bit despicable, he still has some tricks.
Hestia is really unlucky. Without that child, there is no way she can win this war game."
Through the conversation between Hestia and Apollo, the gods who were watching probably understood that Wood was not in the labyrinth city recently, and Apollo, who had investigated this, dared to attack Hess at this time.
Tia's family members launched an attack.
Although Apollo's methods were disgraceful, it has to be said that if this matter were to happen to other gods, even if it was not Hestia, other relatives would probably be affected.
"Well, Hestia, there is no point in delaying it any longer.
In order not to waste everyone's precious time, you'd better tell me your answer.
Are you going to refuse the war game and send that child to me, or are you going to accept the war game, fight to the death and lose everything?"
Facing the aggressive Apollo, Hestia's body was shaking. She hesitated for a while. Just when she was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from behind everyone and got in front of Hestia.
Said: "It seems that many interesting things happened while I was away."
Hearing the familiar voice coming from behind everyone, Hestia and Bell's faces suddenly showed expressions of surprise.
In the crowd that was automatically divided into two sides, Wood appeared in everyone's sight with a half-smiling expression on his face.
Reunited after more than a week's absence, Hestia almost rushed towards Wood at this moment.
As for Hestia's great ambition this time, Wood did not hide away as usual, but opened his arms and hugged the petite figure flying towards him.
"Wood, Wood, is my Wood back? This time you have been away for so long. You obviously said before that you would never abandon me no matter what the circumstances."
The moment she saw Wood's figure, Hestia seemed to have found her backbone and immediately dropped all her defenses.
When Wood was away before, as the main god among her followers, she could only pretend to be calm even in the face of Apollo's aggressiveness, because if even she panicked, then Bell and Lily would go without saying.
