Chapter 119: The Goddess of the Blue Ribbon
"Failed again......"
Looking at the rookie adventurer who hurriedly fled after bowing to him, as if he had encountered some fierce beast, even Hestia, who had always been energetic, couldn't help but feel a little lost.
This has been going on for a long time, and the day she came down from the Heavenly Realm was hundreds of years later than the others, so she had a lot of trouble in recruiting her family.
After all, the adventurer's rookie period is the time when he needs to be guided and cared for the most, and until now, there is still no family Hestia who can't provide even the most basic equipment.
It can be said that it is really a favor at the beginning, and the equipment is all dependent on fighting.
Adventurers who do not have any security will naturally not throw themselves into this hopeless family.
Therefore, after running into a wall a few times, Hestia simply lived in peace with the family of her friend Hephaestus, which lasted for several years.
It wasn't until at the last party that he was ridiculed as a rice worm by Loki, who was a rival, that Hephaestus finally couldn't stand his friend's useless attitude of staying in the house every day and reading a book, and didn't care about anything.
"Find a stable job, or find a family, or instead of wasting time in the Nether, it is better to go back to the Heavenly Realm."
Hephaestus gave the ultimatum with a rather tough attitude.
Hestia can understand her friend's concern, and she doesn't really want to be a lazy rice worm, she has been working hard these days, but after experiencing rejection again and again.
This goddess, who is also quite popular in the heavenly realm, has to admit a sad fact that she may have been abandoned by the times.
Although the favors given by each god are the same, and there is no such thing as who is strong or who is weak, depending on the nature of the god itself, the help that the clan can provide is also very different.
Even if it is just the main god of the small family clan, relying on his own expertise, he can always meet a group of like-minded people, even if he can't bring much help, there will be people who have not enough conditions or repeatedly hit the wall to join them and form a new force.
Although I don't want to admit it, Hestia really doesn't have much advantage in this regard.
If you are willing to cast a wide net, you may still meet a few unlucky people, but Hestia has great self-esteem in this regard.
She is not like some gods who simply want to find a group of tools to feed themselves for food, drink and entertainment, and simply treat the people of the nether realm as useful labor, nor like some gods who gather partners because of their own hobbies.
For Hestia, the family means a new family, all of which are incomparably precious existences, of course, they must be chosen carefully, and in the face of the gaze of the gods, the children of the Nether who have hidden strange thoughts have nothing to hide, and this strict screening once again makes it difficult for her to recruit people.
"Perhaps, it's better to find a job than a family......"
Hestia walked down the road dejectedly, touching her stomach with the lights that began to light up slowly around her, and today she found nothing, and she was embarrassed to frequently go back to her friend's family to ask for support.
Is there a goddess who is more wasteful than herself?
"Can you only go to Loki's banquet and eat a little more...... I'm going to be teased by that airfield with a poor god again. β
Hestia sighed helplessly and ran briskly towards the address she had previously announced.
While the other gods haven't come yet, go in first and order everything you can, and after a big meal, find a chance to slip away from the banquet, it's all Loki's money anyway.
With the mentality of breaking the jar, Hestia trotted to the address of the invitation.
ββ
"Lord God, did you come early?"
"Well...... It's just so-so, because it's not very busy today, and it's Loki who pays today. β
A delicate and crisp voice came from the doorway, and after receiving an affirmative answer, the voice suddenly rose sharply, and there was a bit of resentment.
"All in all, let's get the most expensive ones first!"
Roland, who was pondering, subconsciously raised his head when he heard such a simple declaration coming from the door of the tavern.
What appeared in his sight was an out-and-out beautiful girl.
The long shiny black hair was tied up to the sides and a double ponytail up to the waist, and a fleshy but cute face still had a bit of a childish feeling, and from the outside, it was estimated that it was less than the level of fifteen years old.
But in stark contrast to this childlike face, the part of the girl's chest that is enough to make any woman envious, soft and full, and the wide white dress is matched with the wonderful blue ribbon that bypasses the girl's chest, which is even more moving.
With that kind of appearance that makes people feel pity, if you go to work, you will definitely become an excellent mascot.
And Hestia, who took the initiative to walk towards the corner position in a huff, seemed to feel Roland's gaze after ordering, and the clear blue eyes turned around and looked at Roland.
"Huh?"
Perhaps because of the fact that few beings dared to really look at the gods, Hestia couldn't help but be in a trance, slightly stunned by the magnificent pupils like jewels that seemed to attract souls to it.
"The kid...... Is it a hero? β
By the time Hestia came to her senses, she was already seated in her place, with a meal in front of her.
And at this time, she also understood Roland's identity.
In less than half a day, it caused a sensation in the entire Oralie, a hero who was coaxed by the gods and signed a contract with the immortals.
Sure enough, looking at the intimate appearance of Esther and Roland, Hestia became even more moved, and her chest surged with anxiety that she had never felt before, and she inexplicably cared about the hero.
But not because of his identity, but because she cares about the possibility of the soul behind that pupil.
Incredible, wonderful, anticipating, although it was an intuition without evidence, Hestia, as the patron saint, for some reason, saw only a deep in the possibility of the child's future.
Hestia kept casting her anxious gaze at Roland, full of hope, as if she was hinting at something.
She can be reluctant to recruit other desirable dependents, but Roland's experience is so dazzling that it is an insult to describe it as Puyu, and to invite such a person is like tying his future with the concept of family, Hestia cannot take the initiative to do such a thing.
Therefore, she could only cower in the corner and stare intently at Roland.
"Very well, in the urn."
Roland noticed Hestia, although he had already made a choice about which clan he should be favored, but not now, the reason why he appeared so high-profile was to hold the initiative in his own hands.
What everyone wants, no matter what its nature is, will become a trend, and there is no simpler reason than that.
Even the most relaxed gods still make Roland feel awkward, and the family he chooses must be something that he can control, whether it is a dispensable companion or a so-called god.
The corners of Roland's mouth slowly hooked, and he turned his head to look out the window, and to create this situation, tonight was essential.
"Here we are."
"Hey! Roland, let's come, don't try to prevaricate the choice of the family for other reasons tonight! β
In a hurry, Loki pushed open the door of the tavern, not looking like a goddess at all, and behind her, a group of noisy gods.
Anticipation, eagerness, curiosity, all kinds of eyes were focused on Roland.
"That fairy is so cute, whose child is it?"
"I don't know...... But this hero is the most important thing, even with the help of the immortals, if we can defeat that sword princess, maybe the achievements that those two clans failed to achieve will be achieved. β
"Single-handedly creating new heroes? What an interesting idea! β
Although they all have an overflowing divine light, these gods are not much better than the adventurers of the guild when they come together, and the fun-chasing gods are even worse than the Gilgamesh that Roland has seen in a vulgar way.
They can be completely active because of the news of a new person, just to gain more.
"Little brother, come and join the Dimmite family! We are indispensable in the logistics of the whole Oulali, and we are lacking a representative powerhouse. β
The first to be invited were the goddesses of the warbler, who seemed to be full of motherhood, and in some way was not inferior to Hestia, and the blonde goddess squeezed next to Roland and hugged his arm.
But before Demeter could take advantage of the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first, more invitations swarmed up.
"No, the Apollo family is the best fit for you! You will be my favorite child......"
"Pervert, shut up, if you come to my family, Hephaestus will provide you with the most heroic equipment."
The red-haired goddess with an eyepatch glanced at the fancy male god with disdain, did not say any bells and whistles, and only expressed her support in the simplest words.
As the main god of the family who almost monopolized the entire Oulari boutique equipment market, although she is not outstanding in the strategy of the dungeon, her status must not be underestimated.
"I am Ganesha!"
"And me!"
Loki also came to Roland's face again: "My promise remains the same, as long as you are willing to join the Loki family, what they can give you, I will do." β
It was the first time that a person without grace was being coveted by so many gods.
"Now you're satisfied," Loki looked at Roland, "The entire Olarie clan has come for you, so who are you going to choose?" Or, at least, let us hear what you want from your family. β
"yes......"
The gods gathered urged one after another, and the noise completely broke the atmosphere of the tavern.
After understanding the virtues of the gods of this world, Roland looked around in surprise, remembering all the earnest faces in his heart.
"My request is simple,"
It was just a simple sentence, but it seemed to have magical power, and the noisy gods looked at it quietly, as if they had discovered that the teacher had entered the class.
"The clan I want to join, its size, members, and ability don't matter, and these things can't surpass me anyway, so I only hope that the main god of this clan can reach a cooperation with me."
His words were sincere and sincere, and all the gods suddenly showed sighing expressions.
Calling joining a clan a cooperation is undoubtedly an attempt to take away a part of the leadership from the gods, which seems serious, but in fact it doesn't matter at all, and many of the clan leaders are not gods themselves.
I didn't expect the legendary hero to be unexpectedly easy to speak, looking at Roland, who was subtle and modest, without the slightest bit of pride and complacency, the eyes of many gods became more eager.
But only Loki, with a subtle expression.
The matter of cooperation, she brought up in the morning, not only did she not make any demands on Roland, but she was magnanimous as she wanted, but she was still refused, which in itself means a lot.
"Roland, what do you mean by cooperation?"
"βwhat it means to obey my orders, and that's what cooperation means when I'm a hero."
Such arrogant words plunged the surroundings into a dead silence.
Many gods looked at Roland with strange eyes, and even if they were sealed with divine power, the gods were high.
They refer to the subjects of the Nether as children, and this title does not change depending on the size of their family or their own abilities, because this is the essential difference.
The decentralization of the family is also a reason to watch the play, and even out of love, it is not without gods who combine with the members of the family, but this is more regarded as a kind of companionship, after all, the life of a mortal is too far from that of a god.
But Roland is different, because he can see through the lie, and the gods know that he is not joking.
From the bottom of his heart, he regarded himself as an existence that was not inferior to the gods, or even higher, so that he could say such a request without feeling bravado.
The scene that had just been lively was as if it had fallen into an ice cave, and most of the gods died down, and only a few gods like Loki showed thoughtful eyes.
She was about to say something when she saw that Roland's gaze had left them and turned to the other side.
"And luckily, I've found it."
Roland walked out of the gods that surrounded him, and looked at Hestia, who was standing in the corner, not daring to come over, looking very inferior and looking very inferior when he wanted to talk to him, but could not muster the courage, and showed a satisfied smile.
"Goddess Hestia, are you willing to accept this condition and become my family, so that the Hestia family will be famous for Orali?"
"Huh? The little man? β
Loki's mind turned, as if he had been stimulated.
"Would you rather choose her than me? Do you know what the state of her family is? β
"I made this choice with everything in mind."
Roland nodded slowly, a smile rising into his mouth.
"After all, heroes also need a hero's stage."
This chapter has been in twice, and the fat is numb, and Hestia is really fierce
