Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

"Ah, what's going on? Who are you?"

The figure who opened the door sensed something was wrong immediately after opening the door, and his movements suddenly became cautious and slow, showing a head vigilantly.After seeing Yi Guang with a gloomy face and Lily Luka with an unhappy face appearing at the door of the basement, they showed even more bewildered expressions.

"Hello, is this the residence of the 'Hestia Familia'?" Yi Guang touched his nose while making a gentle tone, "Are you the goddess Hestia?"

What appeared in front of Yi Guang and Lily Luka was a delicate face, who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.With pure white skin and a cute face with a little baby fat, his temperament is like a pure white flower, and at the same time, the cautious extension reminds Yi Guang of a hamster.However, Yi Guang didn't dare to really underestimate her, because the light of divinity was constantly overflowing from her body, revealing the identity of this lovely girl.

The main god of the "Hestia Familia", Hestia, is the same as Loki and Freya, a real goddess—although she looks poor, she doesn't look like a goddess at all.

"Are you... a god friend who has just arrived in the lower realm? I don't know you, and my family members are also in trouble, so don't expect any help from me." The goddess called "Hestia" , cautiously poked half of his head out from behind the door, and then said vigilantly.

Yi Guang's mood was really broken.The thinking circuit of this goddess is indeed very strange. Why is your first reaction when someone knocks on the door is that someone asks you to borrow money?To be reasonable, in terms of where you live, who would ask you to borrow money?I feel that your living conditions are no better than the beggars in Olali City.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to ask you to borrow money."

"That's Hephaestus asking you to collect the debt?" The vigilance in the eyes of this lovely loli goddess has risen to another level, especially seeing Yi Guang wearing the leather chain armor of the undead team, "Look Are you dressed like a fighting god? Even if neither party uses divine power, I will..."

Saying that, the goddess was about to close the door, but Yi Guang even stopped her.

"Let go! I really don't have any money. Hephaestus shouldn't be so heartless, right? I just borrowed a little money from her, and even sent a fighting god to collect the debt from me..." The The goddess said with a mournful face, "I just got my own family now, and I will definitely pay back the money when I have money in the future."

"Calm down, Goddess Hestia, we are not here to ask for debts." Yi Guang said helplessly, "We just borrow from Loki..."

"Aha? Are you actually sent by that washboard?" Hearing the name of a certain god, the goddess was taken aback for a moment, and then closed the door even harder, "That kind of guy... you Get out!"

What the hell?One second she begged bitterly, and the next second she exploded... Loki, you are really cheating on me, right?What is the deep hatred between you and this little guy in front of you?

Yi Guang suddenly felt that the so-called "Hestia" family was unreliable again, so he let go of the doorknob he was holding on without hesitation, and prepared to take Lilyluka away.Since this goddess is messing around in all kinds of ways, Yi Guang is not going to continue.Anyway, after talking casually with Loki, I came to see it with the mood of giving it a try. Since the other party didn't welcome him, and he was such a poor family member, Yi Guang naturally wouldn't stay.

"Ahh..." Because Yi Guang let go suddenly, the goddess Hestia who was pulling the door forcefully, suddenly fell to the ground due to the imbalance of the center of gravity the moment the door was closed, and let out a sound. Shout out.This made Yi Guang pay attention to it for a while, then shook his head and prepared to leave.However, at this time, a voice suddenly came from the room.

"Are you all right? Lord Shangshen?"

"Huh?" Yi Guang immediately aroused a little interest, because this voice belonged to the young man with strong soul power that he met at the "Mistress of Abundance" last night.Originally, I wanted to find out about his origins yesterday and take a good look at him, but I gave up because I was worried about Lililuka. I didn't expect to meet this young man here again.

He is a member of the "Hestia Familia"?

This made Yi Guang slow down involuntarily, and at the same time the door behind him opened again.

"Uh, two, please wait a moment." The white-haired boy's voice came from behind, "What's the matter with you? The Lord God of our family seems to be a little too capricious. If it causes any trouble to you If so, please forgive me."

After hearing these words, Yi Guang took two steps, and finally stopped.As someone who came out of the world of "Dark Soul", facing such strong soul fluctuations, Yi Guang couldn't help but care.Moreover, the other party's attitude was much better than that of the loli goddess, which made Yi Guang give him another point in his heart.

"What's your name?" Yi Guang asked after thinking for a while.

"Huh? What's my name?" The white-haired boy was slightly taken aback. "Bell Cranney, everyone calls me Bell."

About 5 minutes later, Yi Guang and Lily Luca sat in front of this white-haired boy named Bell, on the stone steps of the dilapidated chapel above their basement.

"The situation is like this, because I can't make a contract with Lily, so I hope to find a family member to convert her." Yi Guang said, "But you also know that Lily is only a Lv.1 'supporter', so this It is very difficult, not to mention God Sumo..."

"Hey, hey, don't be joking." Goddess Hestia immediately objected, "Although I personally sympathize with this little girl's experience, the problem is that our family has just opened, and you have seen our The situation. Do you think we can lick one more person for dinner? Especially now that Bell is injured and can't go to the dungeon raider."

Yi Guang looked at this goddess with a lovely face like a loli. After Bell's explanation just now, he also understood the temper of this goddess, and also knew why this goddess made such a move just now.This goddess was lazy when she first descended to the realm, but she ended up living in the family of her god friend "God of Craftsman" Hephaestus, eating and drinking, and borrowing a considerable amount of cash. If you don't say anything about being driven out, you owe a whole lot of debt.When I saw Yi Guang just now, I thought that Hephaestus had entrusted some god to ask him to collect the debt. In this world, although the power of the gods has been sealed, they are existences that humans must never offend.Even if there is a dispute, the only one who can harm the gods is the gods.So when Yi Guang, an unknown god, appeared in front of her, she immediately overreacted.

As for the grievances between Loki and this goddess, Yi Guang understood it at the first sight when he saw the full body image of this goddess - this is between Loki who "levels the world" and Hestia who "gathers people's hearts" The class struggle is just and honest, and he is not going to pursue it right away.

"Well, my lord, it's not like we can't take in this little sister, right?" Bell looked at Yi Guang, then at Lilyluka, and finally at Hestia.

"But it's so strange. Although the child's problem is indeed serious, he won't be sent to us, right?" Hestia looked at Yi Guang, "You were obviously going to leave just now, but after seeing Bell I'm back, I feel very wrong."

Chapter 316 A Conversation Between the Gods

Whether intentionally or not, Hestia's question got to the heart of the matter.Why did Yi Guang turn back from the situation where he was about to leave the moment he saw Bell, and immediately started to mention the matter of putting Lily Luca in the "Hestia Familia" who are currently impoverished.

"About this question..." Yi Guang hesitated for a moment, looked at the curious Bell, then at the suspicious and unwilling goddess Hestia, then stood up and said to the petite lady , "Goddess Hestia, can you take a step to speak? If there are some problems, you can only explain them to you as a god. For the current Bell, the following content is harmful and not beneficial. He is still too young and his mind is not enough. to accept the consequences of the following conversation."

Yi Guang is not going to hide his true opinion of Bell, after all, this is not an ordinary world.Gods are everywhere in this world. Even if the divine power is sealed, many of the gods have strange abilities. Being able to see the light of the soul is really not a big deal.Although it may be a rare ability, it is definitely not something that must be kept secret. For example, the goddess Freya on the "Tower of Babel", she has abilities similar to Yiguang,

"Oh? Is it a reason that only the gods can tell?" Hestia was taken aback when she heard this, and then nodded with some understanding, "In this case, Bell, wait here for a while, me and This god named Lansa went outside for a while. Because it is likely to involve the content of the conversation in the realm of gods, so you must not eavesdrop."

"Alright, alright, Lord God." I have to say that this 14-year-old Bell Clonney has a really good personality.Although he feels a bit of a daredevil, he is well-behaved and obedient in front of his main god, and he is also very polite to others. If he is such a teammate, the possibility of Lilyluka being bullied is not very high.

Yi Guang nodded slightly in satisfaction, and then led Goddess Hestia to the door of the dilapidated chapel.At this distance, with the abilities of two Lv. 1 adventurers, it is impossible to hear their conversation.

"Hey? Is there such a thing?" After listening to Yi Guang's narration, Hestia was a little dazed, "Bell's soul is different from ordinary people?!"

"No, no, it's the same, but his soul has more powerful potential and more plasticity than normal humans." Yi Guang corrected, "This means that Bell's power will follow him. As long as he maintains the mentality of wanting to become stronger, he will definitely become stronger, and it is easier than others. But please note that the plasticity of the soul is not just one aspect. If you change the angle Thinking about it, once Bell encounters something that shocks him, his degeneration will come faster than ordinary adventurers, and it is not impossible for him to be unable to pick up weapons again overnight."

"Yes, is that so?" Hestia was surprised, "Is there such a weakness in Bell's heart?"

"I dare not say, after all, my eyes can only see the general state of the soul." Yi Guang shook his head, "Most of what I just said is my speculation, but I personally think there is still a certain degree of accuracy ...However, there is no need to worry, because with a main god like you, I don't think Bell will fall into that kind of depravity. After all, for a little guy like Bell, no matter how difficult he is, As long as there are people around who are willing to support him and accept his words, there will be no problem."

"That's it..." Hestia nodded, "Thank you, Your Excellency Lanza, I was really rude about the previous incident. I was a little too aggressive because of some previous incidents, and I am really sorry."

"It's okay, I'll bother you more in the future." Yi Guang shook his head, "I will stay in Olalie for about two months, and during this time I will temporarily live in 'Hess' Tia Familia'."

"Let's talk about it first, our family is impoverished now..." Hestia said with some displeasure.

"If it's about money, there's no problem, I'll pay for the living expenses." Yi Guang waved his hand, and then took out a large bag of coins, "At the same time, I also hope that Goddess Hestia will go with me to persuade you God Sumo, I'm good at fighting, but I'm really not very good at persuading people."

Hestia's expression changed drastically when she saw the money bag in Yi Guang's hand.The so-called "a penny is hard for a hero", this principle is also applicable to the gods, not to mention that Hestia is now not only impoverished, but also owes a huge debt to the "God of Craftsman" Hephaestos?

"It's so much..." Hestia opened the bag, looked inside slightly, showing a slightly surprised expression, "You guys are actually quite rich, you don't have a family and don't use divine power, how do you make money?" of?"

"Well, it's inconvenient to disclose corporate secrets." Yi Guang smiled slightly, "This money is used as living expenses for me and Lily Luka for these two months, is it okay?"

"Of course there is no problem, how could there be a problem?" Hestia said bluntly, "Of course I welcome a generous and kind-hearted god friend like you, and so does Bell."

"Then, about going to the 'Sumo Familia' to negotiate together..."

"There is no problem. After all, I am the main god after Lilyluka, and she is also a child of our family." Hestia said righteously, but she suddenly thought of a question, "Speaking of the 'Sumo family' , since you are so rich, why don't you just help that child redeem himself? The money you gave me is enough, right?"

The money Yi Guang gave Hestia was as much as 2000 million Varys.Although for those family members of the backbone, the money can only be regarded as the medicine and equipment maintenance fees spent on a relatively large-scale adventure, and even in the weapon shop of the "Hephaestus family" you can only buy one A top quality weapon.But for most of the small families, especially the poor and white ones like the "Hestia family", it can be regarded as a huge sum of money.With this money, not to mention two more people eating, the "Hestia family" can even immediately get rid of the current predicament of living in a dilapidated chapel, and move to the city to rent a nice house as their own stronghold.

"I don't trust the group of 'Sumo Families'. It's really easy to simply convert. But with the behavior of that group of people, I'm worried that there will be future troubles, so only the 'Sumo Families' themselves have improved. This thing is over." Yi Guang shook his head, "This must make Su Mo wake up and start managing the family again."

"You really think clearly, but it's correct." Hestia nodded, and then asked, "But why did you give me so much? Although it's because of Bell's talent, I also believe it. A little bit, but Bell is a child of our family. If I don’t make it clear, I won’t be able to collect the money safely.”

Obviously, this extra part is the proof of the investment and friendship of this unseen god in front of the "Hestia Familia", and what he values ​​is Bell's aptitude - Hestia Ya didn't have any doubts, she had no doubts that Bell in her family had extraordinary talent.Because only she knows Bell's true uniqueness. Even the god in front of him who claims to be able to see the soul actually just came to a correct but vague conclusion.

It is called "One Heart Longing", a super rare ability that has only appeared in Bell so far.The holder possesses precocious traits, and maintains the effect at the same time as yearning. The stronger the yearning, the greater the effect.Since the root of this skill is the admiration and reverence for someone, it has a very high resistance to "charm" skills.In other words, the god in front of him, who called himself Lanza, had all the effects and negative hidden dangers of this skill right without knowing the existence of this effect.

Although she looks like a 15-year-old girl, Hestia's real body is a goddess who has lived for more than [-] million years. Although she has various problems in her personality, her vision and thoughts are definitely not pure. .Although I am happy to get such a huge sum of money, I always have to ask clearly, otherwise what if it is designed by someone?Since it is an investment, the other party must be in need of return.Although Bell has strong aptitude, it has nothing to do with Yi Guang directly, and it can't be of any benefit.As an adventurer of the Familia, the beneficiaries can only be Hestia and the "Familia of Hestia".

"No, I don't have any special purpose." Yi Guang waved his hand, "It's purely because I think your residence is too broken. Because of Lily Luka, I decided to live with you during this time, but you This living environment makes me feel too wronged myself, so I can only pay out of my own pocket to improve my living environment."

Hestia stopped talking for a moment. She looked at her dilapidated chapel and sighed—it was well-founded and convincing, and that's what the so-called "people who are poor and short-sighted" are like.

"Besides, I have one more thing to ask you, Goddess Hestia..." After finishing speaking, Yi Guang brought up another topic.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Hestia asked suspiciously, "I don't think a poor goddess like me can help you."

"Enhui, please teach me how to use Enhui." Yi Guang made the long-awaited request, "Although I am not planning to recruit family members in the near future, I am very interested in this kind of spell, please teach me how to use 'Enhui' , which includes my tuition fees."

Chapter 317 The Hestia Family Preparing to Move

Hestia was very surprised by Yi Guang's request.There is no other reason, because in this world, "favor" is the only power that the gods are allowed to use in the lower realm, and its popularity is very high. It is a spell that every god must learn first.After all, for a god who wants to come to the lower realm, "favor" is the capital for him to settle down in the lower realm.A god came to the lower realm, but would not be "favored", this is simply an existence like the Arabian Nights.

"How is it possible, you didn't learn 'Grace', how did you get allowed to come to the lower realm!" Hestia looked at Yi Guang in shock, "Or, you dared to come here without even learning 'Grace' To the lower realm, you are simply too bold!"

"Ah, because I have no intention of recruiting family members, so I didn't learn." Of course, Yi Guang would not reveal his identity as a time traveler, but ambiguously fooled the past, "Of course, I still won't recruit family members now. , but I suddenly felt that I should learn a bit.”

"If you don't want to recruit family members, is there a need to learn this?" Hestia was a little strange, "Forget it, anyway, I have already collected money, and it is something like 'favor', so just teach me."

Because "favor" is not a secret magic technique, Hestia didn't think too much about it.It's like someone offered a high price reward on "Baidu Zhizhi" for the question "How to build a union in XX games, and ask for specific steps for high scores". Is a big head and a fool.Hestia is now looking at Yi Guang with a similar mentality, so she held the huge sum of money that Yi Guang gave her tightly in her hands without hesitation, and then taught the specific operation steps of "favor" .

[The method of asking a god for 'God's Grace', you have obtained the 'God's Grace' skill.

Skill Name: God's Grace

Skill evaluation: B grade

Type: spell, contract

Source: "Is there something wrong with seeking encounters in dungeons"

Item description: The most commonly used contract spells used by the gods when walking in the world, the rune array composed of sacred characters, under the urging of the blood of the gods, bestows the power of the gods on mortals.Those who accept this contract can obtain the blessings of the gods and become powerful.And the gods can also use this contract to materialize and shape the experiences of the blessed into unique skills and physical enhancement.

Note: 1) The strengthening effect of this contract is very random. The growth that the blessed person can obtain after obtaining the contract depends entirely on personal qualifications and adventure experiences. Therefore, it is necessary to check in advance whether the strengthened person has the qualification to become stronger .At the same time, this enhancement has a very high demand for actual combat, and the user must fight with all his strength to activate the skills and become powerful;

2) The contract requires the giver to regularly update the status and interpret the sacred text.If the status lags behind and is not updated for a long time, the efforts of the blessed for a period of time will be half the effort.

3) To use this blessing, you need to have a certain understanding of the sacred texts of the world. It is recommended to exchange for "Introduction to the Basics of Sacred Texts" to cooperate.

4) Exchange price for "Introduction to Sacred Text Basics": 10 Saint Quartz, 500 points. 】

After Hestia explained the general content of "Grace", a system prompt sounded in Yi Guang's mind.Then he nodded in satisfaction, thanked Hestia, and the two walked towards the chapel one after the other.As for the hole the system dug for him at the end, Yi Guang didn't care, firstly because he got used to it, and his mentality would naturally calm down; In learning the sacred text.Anyway, the system is an instant instillation teaching, so if you really want to use it in the future, you can learn it again.

"Okay, that's it." After returning to the church, Hestia announced in the name of the family master, "This 'supporter' named Lilyluka and this friend named Lanza, In the next two months, we will live in our family's residence. Although Lilyluka is still a subordinate of the "Sumo Family", we will negotiate with Sumo soon, and then let him convert Lilyluka .So Bell, starting today, you should treat Lily Luca as a member of our family."

"I understand, Lord Shangshen." The boy with white hair and red eyes nodded obediently, like a pure and harmless little white rabbit, "I will take good care of this little sister."

"That's good, Bell." The petite goddess nodded pretentiously, and then added as if thinking of something, "By the way, Bell, don't treat her badly just because she is a beautiful girl." What should I have thought?"

"Oh? Lord God, what you said..." Bell blushed suddenly, "How could I..."

And Lilyluka simply sat on the steps of the church without saying a word, silently watching all this happen.As the party involved in all these incidents, she seemed to have nothing to do with herself, as if what these people were discussing was not herself.Yi Guang naturally saw this in his eyes, he wanted something, but in the end it just turned into a sigh - as far as the current situation is concerned, the more he does, the more it will be detrimental to the future of this little girl, it is better to do nothing don't do it.Everyone has the so-called heroic feelings, so "heroes save the beauty" is a novel routine that has been tried and tested for thousands of years. Although the routine is often said to be vulgar, since it can become a routine, it means that it is very effective.

The only thing that can solve this problem is the passage of time.After all, in reality, it is impossible to have a situation like "one sees XX for life", and Guo Xiang and Liu Yingying, who stick to each other for a few days and months for a lifetime, will only appear in fictional stories.The essence of human beings, or all intelligent creatures, is forgetful. All grievances and hatreds will eventually be lost to time.

Therefore, what Yi Guang has to do is to dilute his impression in Lily Luka's heart, specifically to reduce the time spent directly with her, but before the problem is completely resolved, Yi Guang cannot completely ignore her.Yi Guang is not the kind of person who can be ruthless and walk away, saving people to the end is what Yi Guang believes in.That's why he came to the "Hestia Familia" with Lilyluka.

Fortunately, with a strong divinity, I cannot enter the dungeon, and as a new member of the family, Lilyluka must enter the dungeon with "senior" Bell to take risks.In this way, the strange rules of this world also helped Yi Guang a lot.

"In addition, because of the generosity of Lansa god friends, the family has received a huge sum of 2000 million Varys. According to Lansa god friend's suggestion, we can consider renting a better house in Olalie City as our After all, the friends of Lansa have sponsored so much money for us, and it is not easy for us to let others live with us in this dilapidated church."

While Yiguang and Lilyluka were thinking about each other, Hestia, who had just received a huge sum of 2000 million Varys from Yiguang, announced her next family governance measure, which was proposed by Yiguang. Find a relatively better place to live.This scared the little guy Bell, after all, as of this morning, the total funds of the entire family did not exceed five thousand Varys. 2000 million Varys... Bell almost thought he had heard wrong.

"Come on, Lord God! You, you just said how much money Lord Lansa gave us?!" Bell couldn't even speak clearly, and even his body trembled slightly, "Two, 2000 million... Varys? "

"Master Lansa, you..." Even Lilyluka, who had been expressionless all this time, was startled by Yi Guang's grand gesture.Although this amount of money is not too much for those big families and high-ranking adventurers, it is indeed an astronomical figure for Lv.1 adventurers like Bell and Lily Luca.Even for the large-scale "Suma Families", 2000 million Varys is not a sum of money that can be taken out casually.

And this god who called himself "Lansa" and no one had heard of his name, gave away this huge sum of money... I believe that normal people will have two thoughts in an instant: First, this person (god) Probably sick; Second, this person (God) has other plans.

"That's right, Lansa god friend gave us 2000 million Varys as his living expenses for these two months, so we don't have to live in this broken church, and we can also buy you a good set of equipment." He Stella said happily.

"No, no, Lord Shangshen, how can you accept so much money?" Bell obviously couldn't accept it, "Even if it's two months' living expenses, it's impossible to have so much. Return the money to the family!"

"Lord Lansa! Are you out of your mind?" Lily Luka finally woke up from her expressionless state, and jumped in front of Yi Guang, "Did you just give away such a huge sum of money?"

"I have already told Hestia that this money is my living expenses and rent money. I don't want to live in this kind of dilapidated church. I let Hestia take the extra money. , to rent a better house in Olali City." Yi Guang explained lightly, "The money should be able to pay about half a year's rent. This is my little help to you. After half a year, it will be It's up to you, little brother Bell, you have to work hard, I'm optimistic about you."

"But, Lord Lanza, this..."
