Chapter 782: Two dependents each recruiting troops
After the game methods and rules of the "War Game" were spread from the God's Guild, many people in Orario also mourned for Hestia's family.
After all, with those rules of the game, even an omnipotent god would have to shake his head and sigh from the perspective of Hestia's dependents.
Of course, there are some people who are gloating about this. After all, Wood appeared in Orario like a new star, and because of his rapid rise, he was so dazzling that he naturally aroused the jealousy of many people.
.
So what about Orario's "highest combat power" or having the favor of the gods? Faced with such an unfavorable situation, it's not the same to rush into the street.
Compared to the adventurers who gloated about Wood's misfortune, the object of schadenfreude among the gods changed from Wood to Hestia.
In the eyes of the Orario gods, Hestia's ability to gain favor from the child Wood was nothing more than sheer luck.
But now it's better, Hestia's shit has been used up, and now she's finally starting to have bad luck.
In the past three days, the entire Orario "Wood", "Great Sage", "Hestia's Families" and other topics have become hot topics on the streets.
If it were placed in modern society, it would definitely be a hot search topic.
As for the rumors outside, Hestia is here, and many guests have come here in the past few days.
The first people to visit were Hephaestus, who had a fateful relationship with Hestia and was her only divine friend, and his family member, a red-haired adventurer named Welf.
Then there is the god Takemirai, and his retinue, a black-haired samurai girl named Yamato.
It seems that the god Kenyurei has a certain friendship with Hestia. They are both clerks at the "Potato Balls" vendor's branch.
Hestia and Hestia were often ridiculed by other gods and acquaintances as paupers and looked bad all year round.
As for the adventurers Welf and Yamato, it seems that they were adventurer friends taught by Bell and Lily when Wood went deep into the dungeon alone.
Because they have a good relationship with their main gods, they also took the initiative to come over this time to see if there was anything they could do to help.
In addition to the two gods Hephaestus and Jian Yulei, the third god who came here shocked everyone present.
When he saw everyone present looking at him in surprise, Loki crossed his arms and said in an extremely unhappy tone: "Humph, do you think I wanted to come? If it weren't for Ais-chan and Ti
Ona and the others have been begging me so that I won’t go to the poor little dwarf’s territory!”
Looking at the arrogant Loki, Diona on the side couldn't help but show a playful look and said: "Loki is obviously worried about himself, and he says he doesn't know what the poor little dwarf is doing this time...
…”
Before Tiona finished speaking, Loki had already reached out to cover her mouth. He stared at Tiona fiercely and said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"
Seemingly seeing the strange glances from everyone, Loki quickly put on a cold face and said still stiffly: "Our family owes a lot of favors to Mr. Wood. We are just here to repay the debt. You guys are nothing."
Don’t get me wrong!”
Everyone knew very well about a certain arrogant God of Mischief, so they didn't say much.
"So little dwarf, have you thought of a countermeasure? According to the rules of the game, it is impossible for your family to defeat Apollo's family, right?"
Upon hearing Loki's inquiry, Hestia and the others immediately lowered their heads. Now Hestia obviously no longer had the mood to argue with Loki.
Although Hephaestus and Jian Yulei had come over to discuss countermeasures with him early, they still came up with a suitable solution together.
"Boy Wood, can't you even think of a way?"
Wood's intelligence has been fully demonstrated in front of the gods in several previous incidents. He has a mind and skills that are different from his appearance. Therefore, when Loki asked Wood at this moment, everyone else present also turned their attention to
Turned to him.
“That’s not to say there’s no way at all, I just don’t think it’s necessary.
Although it is true that the rules of the game are quite unfavorable to us, to this extent, it is not completely impossible for us to win.”
Hearing Wood's confident speech, Loki couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "You are really confident and calm. Is this the confidence of the 'Great Sage'?
But aren't you worried that Apollo will make more moves?
You should have noticed that although Apollo is a bit perverted, his series of operations in the past two days have been enough to prove that he is also a capable guy.
So do you think that with that guy’s character, he would just start a war with your family members without making more preparations?”
Loki's words were like a sledgehammer, hitting Hestia's heart hard.
Above the Divine Council, Hestia had fully realized Apollo's methods. Now that Loki said this, she felt even more uneasy.
And it seemed that Hestia was also aware of Hestia's uneasiness. Hephaestus also knew that in this situation, continuing to undermine one's own confidence would undoubtedly dig one's own grave, so she said: "Loki,
If you have any ideas, you might as well say it directly."
After hearing what Hephaestus said, Loki glanced at the restless Hestia with disdain, and then said arrogantly: "If I guessed correctly, this guy Apollo should be here now.
Recruit troops and buy horses.
The rules of this game are that members of both families can participate, right? So as long as you meet the conditions of 'Apollo Family' and 'Hestia Family', you can participate in the game."
Loki had just finished speaking. Unlike Bell and the others who were still in a state of confusion, Hestia and the others, as gods, had already understood the meaning of Loki's words.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at Bell and others who were still confused, Wood, who also understood, also said at this moment: "Loki means the descendants of Apollo.
, is absorbing a large number of members to increase its winning rate.
Because of the rules of this war game, the more people there are, the greater the advantage. Therefore, during these three days, the Apollo family members probably used various methods to enhance their advantages.
In addition, since there is no limit on the number of combatants, they will probably use methods such as hiring and asking for help to increase their number of combatants, right?"
After hearing Wood's explanation, Bell and Lily also showed expressions of realization, and then said solemnly: "In other words, the opponents we have to face this time may not only be the original Apollo.
To those people?"
Originally, due to the rules of the game, Hestia's family was already in a quite disadvantageous situation.
When they heard Loki talking about the actions of Apollo's family, Bell and Hestia's expressions instantly became even more ugly.
However, when he saw the bitter look on the faces of Bell and others, Loki on the side crossed his arms and said proudly: "Hey, hey, hey, you haven't figured out the situation yet, right?
Having such game loopholes should be beneficial to you.
Apollo can recruit troops, which means you can do the same thing, and this is your only chance to make up for your numerical advantage.
The rules of the "War Game" are as long as the conditions of "Hestia's Family" and "Apollo's Family" are met.
And if that’s the case, all you need to do is find more family members before the game starts.”
After hearing Loki's explanation, Bell and Lily's eyes lit up at first, but soon their expressions suddenly became lonely again.
"But in such a short time, how can we find suitable adventurers to join our Hestia family?"
"That's right. Not only is it hard to find adventurers, but even if there are suitable adventurers, in this case, they won't choose to join our Hestia Familia, right?"
There is a reason why Lily would say this. If things were normal, Wood's reputation for breaking the dungeon record would definitely attract as many adventurers who want to join their kin as there are crucian carp crossing the river.
But the point of the problem is that the current situation is different. Now the entire Orario knows that the Hestia family is preparing to play a "war game" with the Apollo family.
Joining the Hestia Familia at this juncture is not just a matter of lending a helping hand, but a real risk of everything.
Because the Hestia Familia lost to the Apollo Familia in the "War Game", those adventurers, whether they are new or temporary members, will become the "trophies" of the Apollo Familia.
If the situation is favorable to Hestia's family, then Orario's adventurers will naturally not mind adding icing on the cake and selling favors.
But the key point of the problem is that Hestia's family is currently in an overwhelmingly disadvantageous situation. To extend a helping hand at this time and win will certainly be a timely help and win the absolute favor of Hestia's family.
But if you lose, then it won't be a timely help, but a pure death.
"Your vision is too narrow and you are not looking for powerful adventurers, but even those adventurers who already belong to their families can temporarily leave their families and join your family, right?
And based on what I know about Apollo, he probably won't be able to recruit any decent helpers.
Even if it is a sure-win situation, given that guy's reputation among the gods, other gods will definitely not lend him their outstanding children, because the guarantee is that it will be a situation where the loan will not be returned."
After understanding Loki's meaning, Welf and Yamato were stunned for a moment. They did not expect that the war game could be played like this. Then after hesitating for a moment, they looked at their main gods respectively.
Obviously, even if Hestia's family has a slim chance of winning, Bell and Lily, two friends who have known each other for a short time, are still willing to risk everything to help Bell and the others!
After all the foreshadowing, Loki finally revealed his true purpose when he looked at Hestia.
"What do you think, poor little dwarf? As long as you agree to my two conditions, I won't be able to give you a hand.
You also know, right? As long as I let Aisi-chan and the others temporarily join your family to help, there is no way that Apollo and his like can be your opponent.
But as a price for helping, what you have to pay is actually not much. First of all, Boy Wood has information about the owner of the 49th floor of the dungeon, as well as the map after the 50th floor.
Secondly, as long as you, poor god, dwarf, also acknowledge Loki loudly in front of the gods that he is a beautiful and generous goddess."
Because of Ais and Diona's friendship with Wood, they had no intention of sitting idly by this time, but that didn't stop her from Loki making a fortune by the way.
Wood had earned a lot of tutoring fees from Loki's family before. This time he only wanted a little information and a map of the dungeon. Isn't that too much?
After all, letting Ais, Diona and the others temporarily join the Hestia Familia is a big bet for the Loki Familia.
Once Hestia's family loses the war game, her Ais-chan and the others will also become Apollo's playthings.
Of course, the big reason why Rocky dared to bet was because of Wood's confidence.
From the first time she met Wood, she had never been able to see through this child. Because of her trust in Wood's strength, Loki felt that people like Apollo would never be able to outplay Wood, so he gave up all his treasures.
On top of Wood.
As for letting Hestia sing about her beauty and generosity in front of the gods, this is just her revenge from Loki.
After all, Loki gritted his teeth when he thought that he had to praise Hestia's beauty and gentleness because of the bet. She would not miss this opportunity to win back the victory!
"Hestia, what are you still hesitating about? If there is the assistance of Loki's family, people like Apollo will never be your opponent!"
Seeing that Hestia was still confused, Hephaestus quickly pushed her friend and signaled the other party not to be stunned and miss the opportunity.
When Hestia heard Loki's conditions, she obviously didn't expect that the damn Loki would be so kind this time, so she said with some hesitation: "As long as I agree to these two conditions, you
Are you willing to help me?"
That's right, in Hestia's view, compared to the destruction of her family, the conditions proposed by Loki are really nothing.
Maps and information, etc., are not disposable resources, but can be recycled.
As for the second condition, although praising Loki made her quite unhappy and aggrieved, compared to surrendering Wood and Bell to others, the grievance she suffered was nothing at all.
Wood on the side originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing Hestia who looked relieved, and Ais and others who also looked determined, they finally chose to remain silent.
Although Loki somewhat wanted to take advantage of the situation, he didn't go too far. Moreover, Ais and the others came with good intentions and rejected each other indifferently, which was always a bit unkind.
