Chapter 794: The moon is dark and the wind is high, let’s kill a god first!
Tonight is quite special for Hestia's family, especially for Hestia, the Loli God's grinning mouth has not closed since this afternoon.
After signing the property transfer agreement from the Apollo Family in the morning, Wood and Hestia went to the real estate agency in the afternoon to sell the Apollo Family's stronghold directly at a very cheap price.
And then at the same time, Wood and Hestia made another billion in profits and bought a new location with an area of about 2,000 square meters from a real estate agency.
In terms of area, the new base of the Hestia Family is not as good as that of the Apollo Family, but it is closer to the central city.
The overall building in the base is in European style, with a height of three floors, and is also equipped with a small garden and basement.
The original territory of Apollo's family was sold for 600 million faris. In addition to the 100 million faris remaining on Hestia's hand, the 300 million faris missing from the purchase of this mansion was the ransom contribution of the captives.
from.
Wood had previously asked Hestia about her thoughts and asked whether she should absorb those captives into her family.
After all, the adventurers who helped Apollo's Familia before may have been a bit weak in terms of strength, but they were all adventurers above LV2 after all.
They, the Hestia Familia, need to be famous and have resources. The only flaw is that compared to other Familiars of Orario, there are too few members.
Not to mention those large dependents, even those small and medium-sized dependents generally have a size of more than ten people.
As for Hestia's retinue, even if we include Welf and Yamato who just joined, there are only five of them at full strength...
If the more than 300 adventurer captives are absorbed, the size of Hestia's Familia will inevitably expand in an instant. Even if compared to Loki's Familia and Freya's Familia, they will not be able to make concessions.
However, faced with this opportunity to expand her family, Hestia refused without hesitation.
And Hestia also said that no matter how powerful and awesome their dependents become, her original intention has never changed.
Compared to other gods who treat adventurers simply as tools, Hestia believes that the dependents she wants are people who can become her family.
Welf and Yamato were friends of Bell and the others, and they did not hesitate to lend a helping hand when Hestia's family was in danger, so Hestia was happy to accept them.
The same is true for the people in the "Hospital Mistress" store. At the same time, they are Wood's family members, so Hestia is willing to trust them and get along well with them.
But Hestia couldn't accept the more than 300 adventurers who had lost the war games and captured them.
They can help Apollo's family to deal with them for profit. How can such a profit-seeking person become their family member.
If one day they encounter danger again, how can they safely leave their backs to their protection?
After understanding Hestia's thoughts, Wood also showed a look of relief, and directly issued an ultimatum to the captive adventurers who refused to leave.
It means that if they don't want to be redeemed, then all of them will be disposed of as slaves.
That's right, as a world with a medieval fantasy background, Orario naturally has slaves.
As the winner of the "War Game", Hestia's family has the right to deal with these people.
In order not to become slaves, these adventurers finally had no choice but to bow their heads and leave in despair. The ransoms of more than 300 adventurers also directly allowed Hestia's family to gain another approximately 500 million in profits.
I bought a luxurious mansion worth 1 billion, and I still have about 200 million francs left in reserve.
So under Wood's suggestion, Hestia decided to hold a banquet again due to a burst of physical pain.
This banquet was not the usual internal banquet for Hestia's family members, but a large banquet where other family members were invited.
It was not only to celebrate the victory of the "War Game" but also to celebrate moving into a new house, so at Wood's suggestion, Hestia finally agreed to hold a big one.
The so-called wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking at night in brocade clothes.
At the beginning, Hestia actually refused. After all, hosting a banquet to invite the gods would cost a lot of money.
She, Hestia, had just emerged from the "poor god" stage not long ago, and believed that she shouldn't spend money so lavishly.
However, facing the hesitant Hestia, Wood directly convinced the Loli God with just one sentence.
"If Loki, Freya, and other goddesses knew that our Hestia family had actually moved to such a mansion, what would their expressions be like?"
Hestia:(′?Д?)」
"Do it! We must do something big and special! I want the goddesses in Orario, especially that guy Loki, to know that we Hestia's family, under my wise leadership, Hestia, are now different from what they used to be.
.
Let’s see if they still dare to say that I am a poor god with big breasts and a rice insect or something like that!”
Hearing Wood's words, Hestia could even imagine Loki's deflated look.
That's right, Hestia used to be ridiculed because she was too poor, but now she can finally feel proud. If she doesn't pretend to be cool, what's the difference between her and a salted fish?
"Where is Wood? Where has he gone? The banquet is about to begin. As the star leader of our family, when those guys come, I will take Wood to show off to them...ah, let's introduce it.
Of."
The venue for the banquet was naturally the newly purchased mansion of the Hestia family. There was a large banquet hall on the first floor of the mansion, which was specially prepared for the banquet.
Tonight, Hestia wore a gorgeous blue dress with a low-cut and backless bold design, showing her absolute wealth.
And on her swan-like white neck, she is currently wearing a drop-shaped necklace set with sapphires.
Since Hestia usually wears a rather cheap-looking white short skirt with a blue ribbon, when this gorgeous dress appeared today, even Bell and Lily were stunned.
"Lady Hestia, you are so beautiful today, just like a real goddess!"
Bell nodded repeatedly to Lily's compliments. He never thought that Lord Shangshen, who occasionally went offline in their family, would be so beautiful if he dressed up seriously.
"Lily, you are also very beautiful today. This dress and necklace were all picked out by Wood with me in the afternoon.
It’s just that I don’t know where that guy has been running since just now. I told him clearly that he would appear with me later, but he is almost late now.”
As the hosts this time, Bell, Lily and others also changed into banquet clothes, and people from the "Hostess of Plenty" pub also came over to help tonight.
But now the banquet is about to begin. As one of the protagonists of the banquet, Wood is unable to behave at this time.
"As for Wood, when we came here, we happened to see him leaving in a hurry. We originally thought he was going to prepare things for the banquet, but it turned out wasn't it?"
When Mia and others came with gifts and wine, they saw Wood and originally wanted to say hello, but he left in a hurry.
"Don't worry, Lord Shangshen. The leader is a measured person. Since this banquet was proposed by him, he will definitely not be absent."
Looking at Hestia who looked worried, Bell and the others could only comfort her.
It has to be said that Bell and the others can see that since their encounter with Apollo, their god is now even more dependent on Wood.
Now, as long as Fanwood does not go to the dungeon, as long as he does not appear in Hestia's sight, the Loli God will feel quite uneasy, fearing that his best child will be abducted by the wandering goddess who ran out there.
.
And a certain guy that his goddess worried about being abducted is actually no longer in Orario at this moment... Or to be more precise, Wood followed the Apollo family members and left Orario.
"Little guy, you've been with us all the way. You didn't come here specifically to see us off, right?"
In a suburb far away from Orario, Apollo, who was originally walking at the front, suddenly showed a serious expression and spoke to the empty space.
When they heard what Apollo suddenly said, Hyacintos and others were also confused, wondering why their Lord God suddenly spoke to the air.
"Master Apollo, you..."
Hyacintos and others originally thought that because their Lord God lost the "War Game" this time and was expelled from Orario, he was so hard hit that he started talking nonsense.
.
However, what they didn't expect was that just in the middle of what they were saying, a voice suddenly appeared in the empty place and directly interrupted what they were about to say.
"Should I say that even if my divine power is sealed, I am still a god?
This thing called the "Perseus Stealth Helmet" has the ability to hide the aura and the invisibility effect. Even I can't detect it, but is it still detected?
If someone can be regarded as a god, then they are existences that cannot be underestimated."
As a helmet was taken off, a smiling young man wearing a black dress appeared in front of the Apollo family members without any warning in the empty place.
When they saw the young man who appeared in front of everyone and the helmet that was taken off, Jacintos and others present were also extremely surprised and said: "'Great Sage', why are you here?
Could it be that……"
As I said before, Hyacinthus, the leader of Apollo's family, is not only not stupid, but he is also quite smart.
Wood followed the exiled men and even wore a Perseus helmet that could hide their aura and figure. After thinking about it, he knew that the other party did not come with good intentions.
"Your guess is correct. I will appear here, and I am indeed here to see you off...or to be more precise, I am here to see you off.
I originally thought that wearing this invisibility helmet would save me a lot of effort, but I didn't expect that the so-called gods would be more troublesome than I imagined.
But there is one thing I am quite curious about, and that is, Mr. Apollo, since you have noticed me following you for a long time, why did you not choose to make it public?"
Wood was indeed quite curious about this. After all, even Hyacinthus could see that he had evil intentions. Could it be that Apollo couldn't see it?
The possibility of this should not be high. After all, what happened before is enough to prove that although Apollo is very perverted, he is also not an idiot.
And since the other party is aware of him and has not revealed himself until now, it means that the other party also has his own confidence.
"Isn't this a very simple truth? Just like what you want to do to us, I never thought of giving up on you.
You chose to follow us because the guild's restrictions on adventurers prevented you from taking action against us in Orario, right?
And for the same reason, we who were exiled because of the "War Game" can't attack you in Orario, but if we were here, there should be no such restrictions."
While Apollo was talking, he looked at Wood with extremely obsessed eyes, and the obscene smile on his face did not hide his purpose at all.
"I see. Did you deliberately choose to expose me here with the intention of robbing me as well?
Although the original sneak attack plan failed, can we really do it with the help of you guys?"
Looking at Hyacintos and others who were gradually surrounding him, Wood seemed not to take the nearly two hundred members of Apollo's family seriously.
Originally, Wood wanted to use the invisibility helmet and use a sneak attack to send everyone on the Apollo family on their way, but now that it was exposed in advance, Wood had no choice but to cancel the original plan and change to frontal hard steel.
In a battle with one against two hundred, in terms of numbers, his side is indeed at an overwhelming disadvantage. However, even in the face of such a situation, Wood is not panicking at all.
After all, even if it was a direct confrontation and killing nearly two hundred members of Apollo's family, for Wood, it would just waste a little more time.
"No, no, no, through the previous "War Game", I have become quite clear that although we are both adventurers, the difference between you and other children is simply not the same dimension.
So even if we have the numerical advantage, I don't expect Jacintos and the others to be able to take you down.
However, "Great Sage", you seem to have forgotten an important thing, because after leaving Orario, you are not the only one who can do whatever you want now.
Knowing that Jacintos and the others are no match for you, why did I wait until now to reveal you who is hiding in the secret?
The answer is that after leaving Orario, I can temporarily get rid of the covenants of the gods and liberate my sealed divine power!"
The power of the gods is too powerful. Once the gods act recklessly in the lower world, it will easily destroy the lower world. Therefore, the gods in the heaven signed a covenant with the gods when they were in the lower world.
