Just when Lily was moved, Takagi Akira looked at Bell and spoke slowly.

"Since we have come together to decide to fight against the Soma clan to protect Lily, we should discuss the specific measures to be taken next."

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Bell tilted his head in confusion.

"Specific methods to protect Lily?"

"Yes, since Lily can't keep this a secret from us for long, we must make a plan for Lily's exposure, so that we won't be in a rush after Lily is discovered."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, the three people at the table nodded together, and Hestia asked directly.

"Takagi Ming, please tell me the specific method quickly."

"First of all, for the future development of the family, we cannot let the reputation of the Hestia family become too bad. So in order for our family to stand on the moral high ground in this storm, Lily will have to be slightly wronged."

Takagi Akira said this and looked at Lily with an apologetic look on his face.

After Gao Muming finished speaking, before Lily could express her opinion, Bell couldn't wait to speak up and deny what Gao Muming said next.

"Unfair Lily? I don't agree."

Lily on the side quickly spoke to comfort Bell

"Master Bell, please don't get excited. I don't think Master Gao Muming will let me feel wronged for no reason. Let's listen to what Master Gao Muming has to say."

"When Lily was discovered by the Soma clan in our Hestia clan and they claimed that our clan had deceived Lily and were looking for trouble with us, we could respond by saying that Lily had stolen the treasure of the Hestia clan."

When Lily heard Gao Muming say this, she immediately followed Gao Muming's train of thought.

"As long as Lily has behaved inappropriately, then Lily's membership in the Hestia Familia is equivalent to atonement. This way, both parties have very reasonable reasons, and the guild will not intervene directly."

As she spoke, an excited expression appeared on Lily's face.

"And if the amount of money Lily needs to pay to the Hestia family is too huge, the Soma family will never agree to use the guild's public funds to redeem Lily given their current state. In order to cut ties with Lily, the Soma family will only expel Lily from the family."

Lily paused at this point. After all, just looking at the Hestia Familia's residence, one could tell that the Hestia Familia was very poor. Lily's face turned ugly when she realized what was going on, and she spoke hesitantly.

"But all this is based on the premise that the Hestia family has a very valuable treasure."

Hearing Lily's words, Gao Muming and Hestia looked at each other, his eyes fell on the "Hestia Blade" on Bell's waist, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Don't worry, our clan does have very expensive treasures, and other gods can guarantee this."

When Bell, who was standing by, heard what Gao Muming said, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Can the problem be solved so easily?"

Gao Muming's ruthless words broke this illusory dream.

"No, it's impossible. The current situation is the result of the arbitrary decision of Chanis, the leader of the Soma clan. He dares to fool even the gods, and he will never give up just like that."

"We still have to prepare to fight the Soma clan."

Takagi Akira said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"If my guess is correct, Chanis has two options. The first is to not conflict with us, retreat first, then secretly follow and tie up Lily. The second is to see that our clan is not strong enough and directly take her away."

"The result of the other party taking direct action will be that the Soma family and our Hestia family will fight directly in Orario, which will cause the guild to intervene and attract a group of gods who are willing to watch the fun."

"In the end, it will probably turn into a 'war game' between our Hestia family and the Soma family to resolve disputes between the families."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Bell swallowed and felt a little uneasy.

"A war game? I don't know if I can help since I'm so weak."

Hearing Bell say this, Gao Muming patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Bell. Although your ability values ​​can't be improved much in a short period of time, there are still other ways to become stronger quickly."

"What can we do?"

"To improve your combat skills and experience in fighting others, the method is very simple. For the next period of time, you must practice sparring with me every night when you come back from the dungeon."

"Ok."

After getting Bell's consent, Takagi Akira nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Lily with a little apology.

"I'm sorry, Lily. I've reached a critical point in my blacksmithing studies and can't stop. And I have to prepare for the battle with Bell at night, so I won't be able to go to the dungeon with you in the evenings."

"It's okay, Lily. According to our analysis and the strength of Master Gao Muming, if the war game really starts, Lily will most likely be able to withdraw from the Soma clan without paying any money."

Unlike Bell and Lily who were optimistic after hearing the analysis that was favorable to them, Hestia frowned and looked at Takagi Akira.

"We are talking about the situation where the Soma clan directly clashes with me, right? What if the Soma clan acts according to the first point you mentioned?"

Hearing Hestia's question, Takagi Akira thought for a while and then spoke slowly.

"In people's traditional concept, no matter how strong a LV1 is, he can't defeat several LV2 adventurers. In other words, in Chanis's eyes, he has an absolute advantage."

"Tchanis thinks he has everything under control. In order to better control Lily and break her hope, he will probably go to war with us as we expected. So I can't upgrade until the war game is confirmed."

"However, there is a possibility that the other party could launch a sneak attack and capture Lily who is alone."

Takagi Akira said as he looked towards Lily.

"Lily, you should not stay alone in the base for the time being. During the day, you can sign a contract with Bell to hire a supporter and explore the dungeon together."

"If the Soma Familia come looking for you while you are with Bell, find a chance to hide Bell's dagger with the mark of Hephaestus on it and carry it with you. Don't resist and go back with the Soma Familia."

Seeing that Bell was about to stand up and speak, Gao Muming raised his hand and pushed Bell back to his seat.

"Don't worry, Bell."

Akira Takagi said as he looked towards Hestia.

"When the time comes, I will trouble Goddess Hestia to go to the Soma clan and ask them to compensate for the stolen items and hand over the thief Lily to our clan for disposal."

"If Soma agrees to our request, everyone will be happy. If not, you can take this opportunity to go crazy and apply for a 'war game' with the Soma clan on behalf of our Hestia clan."
