Zhou Chao and Qingqiuyuan Huina didn't stay too long outside the church, and walked into the church through the statue of the goddess who was missing half of her face.
There was no goal, and because they were not familiar with the environment, the two wandered around the church aimlessly, searching for suspicious paths.
Not to mention, there really is. In a small room in front of the altar, in the innermost part of the empty bookshelf where not a single book was placed, there was a staircase that extended downward.
Zhou Chao did not hesitate, and walked into the passage with Huina of Qingqiu Courtyard.
The passage is long, and because of the light of the light, it feels like there is no end. But it was just an illusion after all, and it didn't take long for a portal that emitted a dim glow to appear in front of Zhou Chao and Qingqiu Yuan Huina.
The two did not hesitate, and walked into it with a slight increase in their realm.
In an instant, a small basement-like room appeared in the eyes of the two, with a bed, a half-broken sofa, and a cute black-haired and double-ponytailed girl between Lori and Otome, aged between Lori and Otome, wearing a white dress and a huge breasts supported by a blue ribbon that passed through the chest, lying on her back, holding a book, reading absentmindedly.
The girl is none other than the target that the Zhou Dynasty is looking for, the goddess of the ancient Greek virgin and the god of the stove - Hestia!
"Excuse me." Zhou Chao shouted.
"Ahhh Hearing this, Hestia instantly sat down from the sofa excitedly, and said habitually while turning her head to look at the position of the door. Then he quickly froze, frowned, and said, "Who are you?" What about Bell? ”
The little appearance is really a bit majestic, and it's not at all the same as the stupid girl she showed just now, just like two people.
Should I say, is it really worthy of God?
"Introduce yourself. I, Zhou Chao, this is my companion, Hui Na. We don't know about Mr. Bell's situation, maybe he is still working in the dungeon at this time, right? Zhou Chao touched his chest with his hand, leaned over slightly, and introduced himself with a courtesy that was not solemn, but it was by no means rude. He later answered Hestia's question about Bell.
"So you're not here for Bell?" Hestia frowned, and said with a little vigilance in her eyes.
"Yes. We're actually here for you. Zhou Chao affirmed with a smile.
"For me?" Hestia frowned, a deep puzzle on her face.
"Yes, I would like to be able to obtain from you the technology that bestows the favor of ordinary people." Zhou Chao nodded and said his purpose.
"Favor? I'm sorry, but that's a technology that only a god can master, and you can't learn it as a human being. Hestia looked at Zhou Chao in surprise and shook his head in refusal.
"I know, but I'd like to try." Zhou Chao's expression remained unchanged, and he still insisted with a smile.
Meantime. In order to increase his chips, the Zhou Dynasty also released the aura that was perfectly hidden with the techniques taught by Medea.
Suddenly, the situation changed slightly, and Hestia's expression changed dramatically and stared at the Zhou Dynasty.
Because at the moment when Zhou Chao's breath was released, an instinctive sense of danger and hostility suddenly and irrepressibly rose from her heart. made her instantly have some kind of bad feeling towards Zhou Chao.
"Who the hell are you!? Why do you have the power of a god even though you are not a god?! Hestia asked in a deep voice.
"That's a long story, I'd like to explain that later." Seeing that the god-killer aura contained in himself triggered Hestia's deeper vigilance, Zhou Chao smiled slightly, put away his strength, and said again, "Now. Can you teach me about the technique of bestowing favors? ”
"Since you are also a god, then you go directly to the god meeting to say hello to other people, why do you want to find me? And why should I teach you this technique? It looks like we're just meeting for the first time, right? "After the aura of power of the Zhou Dynasty fades away. Hestia, who couldn't feel the strangeness anymore, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, raised his head, looked up at Zhou Chao with both twitches and asked sharply.
"Because it would be too troublesome for the gods to go up and change it." Zhou Chao shook his head slightly.
The so-called Shinkai is a meeting of the gods, which is held once every three months in a special venue. The purpose is to share intelligence information, exchange opinions, and negotiate the title of the adventurer who will be upgraded and the urban planning of the dungeon's affiliated city of Olali. In nature, it is similar to the high-class drinking party and the House of Representatives in the secular world.
"And what I can give is not necessarily able to make the other gods move, but it is not as easy as exchanging it with you."
"Really? Since you also said that what you can come up with may not be able to impress other gods, what reason is there for me? Hestia pursed her lips, feeling very unhappy with the obvious difference in grade in Zhou Chao's words.
"Hmph, wait a minute, no matter what you come up with, I'm going to despise him fiercely, and then refuse his deal!" Then, Hestia secretly decided in her heart.
However, Zhou Chao didn't speak when he heard this, but just glanced around the room where the three of them were with a smile.
Although she didn't say the slightest word, the eyes of Hestia, who was paying attention to him, couldn't help but make her face turn red, and her expression was full of frustration.
"Ahh I'm a down-and-out god, I admit, you can laugh if you want! Then Hestia said in a frenzy as if she had broken a jar.
"Can I hear my conditions now?" Zhou Chao smiled slightly, did not reveal her scars, but once again brought the topic back to the topic.
"Say it." Hestia said weakly.
"First of all, I will give you a batch of precious gems to use in exchange for Euler to improve your life and that of Bell." The Zhou Dynasty did not have a ready-made Euler in his hands, and could only complete monetary transactions by bartering.
"Secondly, I can get my companions to do the work and build a tailor-made outfit for Bell." I'm going to ask Medea for this. After all, with the professional skill of prop making, it is really easy for her to create a few pieces of special equipment, not to mention, there is still the wisdom of Xiaozhi.
"Finally, I can get my fellow players to train Bale for a week to increase his overall strength. Increase his ability to survive in the dungeons. What do you think? ”
It can be said that the core of the whole transaction revolves around Bell, and everything is based on Bell's vital interests, and Hestia is just a passing.
But this happened to grasp the fate of Hestia, a guy whose feelings for Bell were somewhat beyond the relationship between ordinary gods and clans, making her expression froze for an instant, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
"No wonder you're looking for me."
"So you said yes?" Zhou Chao raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Yes, I ......," Hestia said, pouting with displeasure. But before he could finish speaking, a slightly tired male voice rang out in the quiet basement.
"I'm back!"
"Bell!" Suddenly, Hestia's expression changed. Zhou Chao, who got rid of what should have been a guest at this time, ran to Bell and hugged him.
"God-sama, I'm back." Bell looked at the girl who was hugging him and smiled softly.
"Welcome back. Why is it so late today? Hestia replied first, then said with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
"I had better luck today, so I stayed in the dungeon for a while." Bell replied, and then paused, looking at Zhou Chao and Qingqiu Yuan Hui Na in the room and said, "You are ......"
"Leave them alone, they're coming for me." Hestia interrupted Bell's questioning and Zhou Chao's intended answer, and said strongly.
"Oh. Do you want me to leave first? Bell looked at Zhou Chao and Hui Na of Qingqiu Courtyard. He asked again at Hestia in front of him.
"No, we're done." Hestia shook her head. Then he turned his head to look at Zhou Chao again, and said, "I agreed to what you said, go to North Street to find me tomorrow morning." ”
Hestia's meaning is obvious. It's time for you to go.
"Okay. Then don't bother. Farewell. And in this regard, Zhou Chao didn't care anymore, nodded with a smile, and left the hut where Hestia and Bell lived with Huina of Qingqiu Yuan.
A moment later. Zhou Chao and Qingqiuyuan Huina reappeared outside the church.
However, in the next moment, with the change of the void, Erica's figure suddenly appeared beside Zhou Chao and Qingqiu Yuan Huina. Shouted softly.
"King."
"Let's go, let's find a hotel." Zhou Chao's expression did not show the slightest surprise.
It turned out that when Bell returned to the church, Zhou Chao received the news from Erica at the same time, so he had long known that Erica was outside the church at this time, so naturally he would not be surprised that she suddenly appeared from the void.
Then the three of them did not stop in front of the church, and while sending a message to Medea who was still guarding the dungeon, they returned to the city of Eulali together, looking for a temporary place to stay.
Fortunately, this time did not take long, only ten minutes, and the four of Zhou Chao and his party found a hotel near South Street, which was very close to the church where Bell lived, and checked in.
"Tsk, the place is bad enough. Wait for tomorrow, say that you have to change a sum of money, find a good house in the town and buy it. Zhou Chao looked at the humble house in front of him, although it was not bad, but it was definitely not good, and it was not comparable to his bedroom in the main world.
After that, nothing happened overnight, and the time came the next day.
On this morning, after a simple meal of hearty food that tasted good, the four of them left and came to North Street according to the agreement made with Hestia yesterday, and met the two Hestia who had specially taken a day off to take Bell to hang out on North Street.
"These are your companions?" Hestia's gaze swept over Medea and Erica successively, especially after a pause on Medea's body, he said.
"Yes." Zhou Chao nodded, then glanced at the crowd around him, and asked rhetorically, "Just trade here?" ”
"Of course not." Hestia shook her head. Then he waved "follow me" and took the lead with a puzzled Bell walking forward.
"God-sama, what's going on?" At the same time, Bell, who could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing, it's just that I've run into a big wrong." Hestia said with a smug face. didn't suppress his voice at all, making the corners of Zhou Chao's mouth twitch slightly behind her.
"Wronged...... Are we wronged? Qingqiuyuan Huina, who also heard Hestia's words, said with some puzzlement.
Because she didn't understand the value of the gifted technology, she didn't know whether the conditions promised by Zhou Chao yesterday were considered unjust in the eyes of outsiders.
"It seems that the so-called bounty technology is not as difficult as we think." Medea said.
But think about it, since it is a god's thing, it is definitely not a mysterious complex or a god's proprietary technology, but a very simple, very basic general technology, even if the other party in the technology is more special, it should not be a very valuable technology, otherwise a little money - equipment is also money, can be obtained with money - how can a little money be bought from Hestia? Even if she was down, it was impossible for her to break certain rules and give someone else the kind of technology that only God could master.
Even this person is god-level in terms of breath and strength.
"Whatever. Anyway, those costs are nothing to us, and if you are wronged, you should be wronged, as long as you can get the technology. Zhou Chao shook his head absently, and said in the minds of the three Medea with words.
This is the difference in values.
The men were silent, and followed Hestia and Bell around the streets of Eulalie, until a moment later, when they stopped in a secluded spot that looked like an exit from a drainage system.
"Alright, let's trade here." Hestia stopped, turned to look at the Zhou Dynasty and said.
"Yes." Zhou Chao nodded, and then didn't talk nonsense, he flipped his wrist, and a small leather bag that looked like a wallet in the game appeared in Zhou Chao's hand, and with a wave of his hand, he threw it at Hestia.
The latter reached out and took it, took it in front of him, opened it, and looked down at it.
Suddenly, a dazzling gemstone brilliance came into Hestia's eyes.
"Wow, that's a lot of gems!" Bell, who also looked at the bag, exclaimed.
"Bell, you can go over." Hestia nodded in satisfaction, closed the bag again, stuffed it into her arms, and said to Bell beside her.
"Huh?" Bell looked at his main god with puzzlement.
"They promised me to make you a piece of equipment, and while it may not be better than the Hephaestos family, it is still better than nothing." Hestia explained with a smile on her face. (To be continued.) )
