Chapter Twenty-Eight: Loki
(Thanks to Bandaru for your tips and support)
The internal relationship between the Lord God and the believers is not unique, some are hierarchical master-servant relationships, some are half-master-servant, half-friend relationships that fight all day long, some are full of tender father/mother-son relationships, and there are even cases where the Lord God has a crush on a certain believer.
But if we talk about foreign relations, then the situation becomes highly consistent - believers do not allow outsiders to offend the Lord God, and they will fight with all their might for the face of the Lord God; The Lord God does not allow outsiders to bully believers, and for the safety of believers, they will make small reports.
Of course, just like fighting with all your might but not guaranteeing victory, making a small report may not necessarily bring justice back to the believers, and the human exchanges between the gods are not simple.
However, it has nothing to do with whether the negotiation can be successful, the attitude of the Lord God must be correct, and what will happen if you ignore the believers? A few days ago, there was a believer who jumped to the 'Bacchus' Su Mo of other clans, which is the best negative teaching material.
ββ¦β¦ Why hasn't it shown up yet, could it be that he went on an expedition? Loki, who squinted at the airport and had a single ponytail, was the lower limit of the goddess's appearance, and was guarding the entrance of the dungeon with an impatient face, with a vast number of believers behind him.
According to the rules of the game, once the god lifts the power seal on her own, she must be kicked out of Olari immediately, so she cannot use her divine power to find adventurers who defeat her favorite believers, so she can only block the door in the most stupid way.
Because the strongest team in the family has been defeated, it is impossible to get the field back by force, but she must at least know which family the other party belongs to before she can negotiate. Loki asked himself that his popularity among the gods was not bad, as long as it wasn't Freya, the bus goddess who slept with all the male gods, she would have a way to deal with it.
"Hmmm......! A four-person squad with two maids! After about four hours of waiting, Loki finally got his goal.
Lyle glanced around at the crowd waiting to watch the show, and then at Loki, who couldn't maintain his trademark squinting because he was in a bad mood, and said with a smile: "If it's me who is self-inflicted, please don't laugh at me, but this shouldn't happen to be a big event, right?" β
"Little one, that's your hand, right?" Loki suppressed his anger and said.
"I'll just assume that's your answer." Lyle stepped aside and said to Luna, "As promised, the second half will be handed over to you." β
"Looks like I earned it." Luna stepped forward, showed an arrogant smile, and hooked her fingers defiantly, "Standard routine, hit the little ones and the old ones, don't talk so much, see if I don't beat you to the sky~!" β
"Ha~ What are you talking about?" Loki, who was still wondering why Lyle sent a maid (Luna was wearing a maid suit) to answer, didn't even react.
Adventurers in their normal minds will not attack the gods, firstly, because the gods only sealed their own strength, not that they are really that weak, and the adventurers will undoubtedly lose in the battle of life and death, and secondly, because of the status problem, the vast majority of adventurers are just pets and servants of the main god, and direct attacks on other gods are destined to be severely punished by the main gods they serve.
"Not good! They are rookie adventurers who don't know any rules! The bandaged Lilliputian spearman hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly, "Lord Loki is only here to ask for your name and family, and we are worried that Lord Loki will be harmed and have come to protect you, and we have no intention of fighting you again." β
"It's a pity that we don't belong to any family, and the little means behind it have no goal." Luna pulled out the Red Dragon Excalibur and her expression sank, "Then, there is only one solution left." β
Loki, who recognized the Red Dragon Excalibur, opened his eyes suddenly: "You are Red-"
In an instant, Luna came to Loki's side and slashed down with a sword robe.
Loki burst out of blood from his left shoulder to his right waist, and it seems that the gods of the Blue Continent have the same setting of blood.
"βLord Loki!!"
"Don't come here!" Loki let out a loud shout to stop the believers from rescuing her, and at the same time sent out a firestorm to force Luna, who had no intention of chasing, and the wound on her body healed in the blink of an eye, "She cut off the seal on my body...... What do you mean by this, knight of the Red Dragon God. β
At this moment, Loki transforms back into a true goddess.
refers to strength, the appearance has not been improved by half a point, but the fire effect has been added.
"According to Olali's rules, it is us who find fault, and according to Shephelia's rules, it is you who find fault, a simple conflict." Luna put her sword into the sheath, Loki is not worthy of her use of weapons, "But it's okay anyway, since Gulakias joined, I have lost a lot of opportunities to move my body, so you can play with me~"
The second half of the sentence is the point, as mentioned before, the Inbas family didn't take the conflict with the Loki clan to heart at all.
The wound was healed, but the pain remained, and Loki, who realized something, proposed, "I think I can recommend you a few belligerents." β
"How can I have this time, I have to go back to enjoy Olali's special cuisine after exercising~" Luna's figure flashed.
"Wooββ!" Loki wraps his arms around the flames and crosses them around his abdomen to avoid Luna's uppercut.
However, the result was that the whole person flew upwards, piercing through more than a dozen floors of the Tower of Babylon in one go.
"Not bad, not bad~ at least it's sturdy~!" Luna laughs and catches up.
The sound of the two fighting faded away.
Gulakias looked at the culprit of this series of events and asked, "...... Aren't you going to watch the game? Miss Lena. β
"Don't! Although I know that witnessing the battle of masters can help improve your strength, life safety is the most important thing, and you should stay in the safest place at this time! Lena hugged her brother's arm, feeling a full sense of security, "Don't worry about my sister, go find the most luxurious hotel, I have this meal in my stomach." β
γγγγγγγ
The sun sank into the western sky, and a pale blue twilight and a hazy full moon appeared.
Adventurers returning safely from the dungeon conclude their day with wine and meat, and shouts of merry are heard from each tavern, followed by roars and laughter. Orange light pours from the open windows, accompanying the figures dancing on the paved road.
The spirits who have always been serious and serious are cheerful because of the atmosphere, the lilliputians and goblins are singing side by side, the dwarven warriors who are already a little drunk laugh heartily, the orc women with the ears and tails of the beasts are wearing revealing clothes to attract customers, the coolly dressed Amazons stride along the road without minding their eyes, and the popular performance of string and wind instruments seems to turn them into dancers in the street.
As it was past the opening hours of the Adventurers' Guild, Lyle and his party were unable to exchange the magic stones for gold, so they had to go to the restaurant with the rumored highest level of consumption, and enjoyed a meal under the recommendation and accompaniment of Loki, who was bruised and swollen, before returning to the hotel where the unicorns were fostered.
This is the end of the day for the ordinary adventurer.
