Once Eve demonstrates her ability to turn her body into a weapon in the dungeon, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Therefore, if Eve wants to achieve greatness in the ‘Dungeon’, he must seal his best ability.

Of course, there are other options, and that is to go to the ‘Guild’ with Blue Star to accept the mission to hunt some small monsters. With Eve’s current strength, even if he encounters a fire dragon, he is not invincible.

But the only problem is that although there are monsters in the dungeon, the situation in the wild is even more special, such as the monsters called “police” by the hunters such as ‘Dread Tyrannosaurus’ and ‘Burst Dragon’ are not fixed. They have a wide range of predation. Although the probability of encountering them is not high, no one can deny the possibility of encountering them.

Not to mention that Blue Star has to accompany the other party to pick up and deliver, which consumes too much time.

As for making Eve give up her abilities and use ordinary weapons to fight?

This option was denied by Blue Star from the very beginning. After all, doing this is like a normal person learning to use his feet to hold chopsticks with his hands tied, which is putting the cart before the horse.

When Lan Xing told Hestia about his scruples, the other party didn’t have any good answers for a while. After all, Eve herself is too special.

On the contrary, regarding Ti Yayou, she suggested that she should not be in a hurry to let the other party go to the dungeon for the time being.

According to Hestia, Ti Yayou’s talent is obviously more suitable for the direction of a spellcaster, and there are basically two ways to become a spellcaster.

One way is to choose the ability such as “magician” when Blue Star gains “ability” after reaching LV2. Through this ability, not only can the relevant attributes be strengthened, but also can be obtained more and more with the increase of its own strength. Much magic.

However, there are a lot of troubles in doing this, that is, it takes at least half a year for a normal person to reach LV2. Even researchers, if they spent most of their time in dungeons, they would also be putting the cart before the horse.

So she suggested to Ti Yayou to choose the second path———————— learn magic first.

Although becoming a ‘Family’ is a shortcut to gaining power, it is not that there are no other people with special powers in this world except for the ‘Family’. Similarly, almost everyone has certain combat power before becoming a ‘Family’. The same is true for those.

“If necessary, I can inquire about where you can learn magic, but let Tiayou learn magic first before going to the dungeon. If you get the ability when you choose LV2, then the habit of relying on weapons to fight in LV1 for such a long time is not so easy to change.”

After thinking about Hestia’s suggestion, Tiayou chose to accept it. After all, it is better to listen to an ‘expert’ in a completely unfamiliar field than to bump into a wall without thinking.

And more importantly, Tiayou is more curious about ‘magic’ than gaining power.

She has been trying to use ‘science’ to explain ‘magic’ before, but unfortunately the progress is still impressive. If she can study it systematically, it will be of great benefit to her research.

About Ti Yayou’s learning of magic, I handed over to Hestia to contact, and Blue Star took the two of them to the ‘Adventurer’s Association’ to register.

Regardless of whether you will go to the dungeon next time, you will not be in a hurry when you need to use it after registering.

It was about three or four o’clock in the afternoon when Lan Xing and the others watched Tanjirou Kamado and the three of them leave, but when Lan Xing and the others finished dealing with the matter at hand, the sky was even darker.

However, a group of four people walking in the deserted old city seemed to be full of interest, especially Eve, who was chattering like a sparrow. It was obvious that she was imagining the future infinitely.

Compared with the excited Eve, both Lan Xing, Tiayou and Hestia are more restrained.

Ti Yayou is more because of the connection between herself and Blue Star, while Hestia is a little bit embarrassed looking at the lively scene around her. After all, half a year ago, she never thought that there would be such a lively scene around her. Even before she met Lan Xing, she was that ‘worker soldier’.

In addition to working part-time, he drinks with friends on weekdays. Although life is not easy, it always lacks some ups and downs.

But now there is not only Blue Star, but also Eve and Tiayou, and she even vaguely understands why some of her “divine friends” would persuade her to find her own family.

Even if it is part-time work, working for yourself and working with the family members to jointly develop the family members are completely different.

It can even be said that this is not one of the important reasons why she chose to leave the God Realm in the first place?

It’s just that when the four of them were walking back to the office, they encountered unexpected things.

At first, it was Lan Xing who reached out to stop Hestia and Eve, who were at the front of the line. When the two were stopped by Lan Xing, they were still a little confused. They seemed to be unable to figure out why Lan Xing wanted to stop him, but what Lan Xing said next But it made their faces change drastically.

“There’s someone hiding around here.”

Unlike Tiayo and Eve, Hestia has been living in the ‘Old Town’, and can even be said to have witnessed the decline of the ‘Old Town’. She knows very well that this area is sparsely populated, if not for the The money spent to relocate the ‘church’ is too exaggerated, and she even considered whether to ‘move’.

How could they not be nervous when they suddenly encountered an ‘ambush’ in such a sparsely populated place?

But when everyone was vigilant around, they suddenly found that Lan Xing was staring at one direction, but that direction seemed to be in ruins?

Is it a trick to lure the enemy?

But just as the other party was thinking, a figure walked out of the ruins, and with the appearance of the other party, the atmosphere on the street eased by two points. After all, it was a human being who walked out of the ruins at this time… …

Chapter 13 The boy with white hair and red pupils

Lan Xing sensed that there was a person hidden in the ruins through the ripples, and he habitually reminded everyone, but what Reiatsu didn’t expect was that he didn’t wait for him to speak or draw the other party out with his hands, and he took the initiative to appear in front of everyone .

It’s just not the same as the expected ‘raider’.

At this time, a young man with short silver hair and red eyes and wearing worn leather armor was looking at them excitedly.

Then, without waiting for Lan Xing to open his mouth, he trotted all the way to the front of the crowd, maybe because of the excitement, the other party’s face was flushed strangely, but when he was about to reach the crowd, he suddenly remembered something , also hastily stopped.

“Goddess Hestia! Mr. Blue Star interrupted!”

Looking at the young man who bowed at ninety degrees in front of him, Lan Xing frowned slightly unconsciously, because he felt that the other party seemed familiar, but for a while he couldn’t remember where he had seen the other party.

In fact, Blue Star’s activities in the “Maze City” are very limited. When he first came here, he occasionally appeared in the dungeon, the adventurer’s guild, and the restaurant during the meal time. It is staying in the forge.

Later, with Hestia in charge of food at home, Blue Star basically only appeared in the forge.

The staff in the forge is relatively fixed, and he can be sure that he has not seen the other party, so the only chance to see the other party is probably during the “Monster Festival”.

With a general goal, the memory in his mind was also awakened, and Lan Xing instantly remembered where he had seen the other party.

“Are you the boy who sat next to us at the ‘Monster Festival’? I remember your companion calling you… Bell?”

Lan Xing’s words made the other party startled unconsciously, and then his eyes widened suddenly.

“That man in the strange T-shirt is you, Mr. Blue Star?!”

The other party yelled almost reflexively, but then he seemed to realize that he was impolite, and he quickly covered his mouth.

“It’s not surprising that the Elle Cat T-shirt is there!!”

Lan Xing didn’t care at all, but Eve, who was led by Ti Yayou, couldn’t help but refuted loudly. For Eve, who had been getting acquainted with Ailu cat near the ‘Meatball Hall’ during this period, the What the white-haired boy said was very rude.

The other party quickly apologized again.

“Sorry, that’s not what I meant. I meant that Mr. Lan Xing should dress more handsomely…”

Looking at the boy whose tongue seemed to be knotted because of nervousness, Lan Xing first touched Eve’s head to comfort him, and then smiled.

“Don’t worry, I know you are not malicious, is there something wrong?”

Although Blue Star usually looks a bit serious, he has not forgotten his business smile. After all, even if his own firm belongs to the category of “not opening for half a year, but opening for half a year”, he still needs to open.

Perhaps it was because Lan Xing’s smile calmed down the other party’s mood a lot, and the other party’s expression gradually became serious.

“Yes! Actually… I want to join the ‘Hestia Familia’!”

Looking at the other party who bowed again, Lan Xing did not speak this time but turned to look at Hestia who was aside.

I don’t know if it’s because of her personality, or because of her ‘family status’. Generally speaking, Hestia plays the role of a ‘behind-the-scenes boss’ in the office, and blue star is usually responsible for socializing externally. , but this time it is about the matter of the ‘Family’, Blue Star naturally cannot make the decision, and can only throw the problem to the person who can make the decision.

Hestia didn’t expect that the other party was someone who applied to join the ‘Family’, but it’s not surprising, it’s only been two days since the ‘Monster Festival’, and during these two days, Blue Star and the others didn’t return. In ‘Maze City’, Blue Star took Tiayo and Eve to the guild and was not recognized by anyone. As for Hestia, she went directly to the stronghold of ‘Hephaestus Familia’ to inquire about ‘magic’. Regarding the matter of “teacher”, most of the people I met were adventurers who belonged to the “Hephaestus family”, so naturally no one would want to jump ship and come to her.

They who have never met strangers naturally do not know that the ‘Hestia Familia’ is very popular among low-level adventurers.

But even if he didn’t know these things, it didn’t affect Hestia’s judgment.

If it was before today, she would probably reject him without hesitation. After all, she had decided to have only one ‘family’ before she met Lan Xing, because she was different from most gods, and she didn’t want to be from her own family. What did she gain from the “Familiars”, she simply hoped to enjoy the so-called “home” feeling of ordinary human beings.

And there is no doubt that Lan Xing did not disappoint her. Before making choices again and again, Lan Xing proved that the other party did not live up to her trust, and in the constant relationship between Hestia and Lan Xing, there was also a faint ambiguity. The relationship between the “Family” and the “Lord God” that seems to be detached from the ordinary was born. Although it is still hazy, at least Hestia has noticed the change in her mind.

And this is why Hestia has always resisted the important willingness of other people to become her “family” except Blue Star. She doesn’t want others to disturb her and Blue Star.

But this idea has been completely changed today.

It’s not that she changed her mind about Lan Xing, but because she gradually realized that even if she chose to stop, the world would not stop because of her.

Whether it was Eve and Tiayou who appeared next to Lanxing unknowingly, or Eve’s feelings for her, she realized that she had established a new connection through Lanxing unknowingly.

It was precisely because she had figured this out that she decided to invite Eve and Tiayou to be her family members.

However, although she has changed, it does not mean that she will choose a family at random. At least there is a necessary condition for her to choose a new family, that is, she must be able to integrate into the current ‘family’.

It’s a pity that the strange boy in front of her didn’t meet her requirements.

But looking at the other party’s expression full of joy, she also decided to think carefully about how to reject the other party. After all, even if she rejected the other party, she didn’t want to hurt the other party.

“Eve and Tiayou have just joined my family. For the time being, I don’t plan to recruit new family members, and I don’t know you too well, so… sorry.”

Hestia tried her best to reject the other party in a more tactful way, but even so, the other party’s face showed an unconcealable loss.

However, unlike the vast majority of people, even if they were disappointed, the other party quickly adjusted their emotions.

“Sorry for the interruption, Lord Hestia, Mr. Lan Xing, and… Ms. Tiayou and Ms. Eve.”

The disappointment in the other party’s eyes can be said to be concealed no matter how hard they are, but it has to be said that the other party’s politeness has won the favor of Blue Star and the others, and Hestia couldn’t help asking curiously when the other party was about to leave. the other side.

“Can I ask why you chose my ‘Familia’? Actually, it has been many years since no one wanted to join the ‘Familia of Hestia’…”

Chapter 14 The stars that guide the way

Facing the somewhat curious Hestia, the disappointed young man froze for a moment. After all, he didn’t seem to expect that Hestia would ask himself this question, but then he showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

“Of course there is no problem. In fact, I went to all the family members I could find before, but they all rejected my application to join, so after learning of your existence, Goddess Hestia, I wanted to try See if you can join your family.”

The expression on the face of the other party was a little awkward when he said these words, after all, what he said at this time seemed to be saying that Hestia was a spare tire.

Hestia was indeed a little surprised by the other party’s words, but she was not surprised. After all, it is rare for Blue Star and Hestia to see each other so quickly. In most cases, the two sides choose each other.

From this point of view, the other party’s choice to tell the truth is enough to show that the other party’s quality is very good. Even if she hadn’t met Lan Xing first, she might have made other choices…

It’s a pity that there are no ifs in this world, the first person she met was Lan Xing.

But after a short sigh, Hestia became even more curious about the other party. If it is true that he has searched for all the family members he could find and was rejected, then this is definitely an extremely exaggerated figure. .

Although many gods have no fixed base like him… no, it can even be said to be worse than her. She has a church of her own anyway, and some gods don’t even have their own church, but only those who can There are probably at least dozens of gods found.

There are many people who can muster the courage to continue to work hard after being rejected once, but if they can be rejected dozens of times and still not give up, there must be something supporting him, and this is what Hestia is curious about.

“Although I can’t let you join my family, can you tell me why you must become a ‘family’? After all, although the strength grows faster after becoming a family, the sacrifice rate of the family is far higher than that of ordinary adventurers, right? “

High-level monsters invaded randomly, opened up unfamiliar territories, and carried out the orders of the main god…

The strength of the family is stronger, and the enemies they face are naturally stronger. No one can guarantee that they will be able to walk out of the dungeon again. This is one of the reasons why Blue Star is worried about Ti Yayou going to the dungeon.

Facing Hestia’s curiosity, the other party tried to show a smile after a short silence.

It’s just that this smile made Lanxing and Hestia faintly realize that maybe the reason why the other party wants to become a family member is not something interesting.

“There’s nothing I can’t say, in fact, before I came to ‘Labyrinth City’, I lived with my grandfather on the mountain…”

I don’t know if it was Bell’s illusion, but Hestia unconsciously glanced at Lan Xing after he finished speaking, and Lan Xing showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

In fact, he had said similar things to Hestia back then, but Blue Star had to find a plausible reason to cover up why he even A lot of common sense doesn’t understand this.

But after the small theater between Blue Star and Hestia ended, the other party continued to talk.

The story is not long, and it can even be said to be very simple. Bell never thought of becoming an adventurer, or even a family member, but when his grandfather disappeared unexpectedly on the mountain and was found dead, he came to the “Maze City” ‘.

“If I was stronger at that time, then grandpa wouldn’t need to go hunting in the mountains, and naturally he wouldn’t go missing. At that time, I heard about the ‘Maze City’. According to people, if you can be favored by the gods here If I become a ‘Family’, I can have even stronger power, if I have stronger power, then if necessary, I can also protect the person I want to protect…”

Bell’s words silenced everyone. Strictly speaking, the other party’s story is not too special. After all, in this world where the average human life expectancy is only over 40 years old, it is quite normal for people to die due to various accidents.

But what really caught everyone’s attention was the mentality of the other party, especially Blue Star was full of embarrassment after hearing the other party’s words.

The experiences of the two are very similar, except that the only difference is that the “sinking” experienced by Blue Star lasted longer, and luckily encountered a turning point in his own destiny, while the other party is still looking for his own “turning point”.

Except for Hestia, Blue Star, Tiayo and Eve have all experienced the feeling of “losing family members”, so they unconsciously have a little more affection for Bell, but none of them persuaded Hestia Thoughts, after all, they are not qualified to intervene in the affairs of the ‘Family’.

But they also have things they can do.

“I’m sorry about the ‘familiars’, but are you interested in learning from me?”

Facing Lan Xing who spoke suddenly, Bell was a little surprised. Looking at the blank expression on the other side, Lan Xing also explained a little more.

“Although I don’t know why you were rejected by so many family members, since your wish is to become stronger and not just become a family member, then even if you have not yet become a family member, you should not resist exercising. I can spare a little time every day to give advice. Come on, you can do basic exercises most of the time, you want to have a good body, and you can grow faster after you become a ‘Family’ in the future, right?”

Bell was very pleasantly surprised by what Blue Star said. In fact, he has never given up on exercising since he came to the “Maze City”. It was just basic training, and no one could teach him such things as using weapons.

Now Blue Star is willing to guide himself, even if it’s just the so-called “take time out for advice” in the other party’s mouth, it is an extremely precious opportunity for him.

But why is the other party willing to help him?

It’s not that he belittled himself, it’s just because he had failed too many times during this period, even though he hasn’t given up so far, he has become a little sensitive. Although he hasn’t given up all the time, he is gradually losing confidence.

“Mr. Lan Xing… why are you so nice to me?”

He didn’t think that Lan Xing had any thoughts about him. After all, he had no possessions now, and the other party was a hot newcomer adventurer in the labyrinth city. He was just confused, and the answer Lan Xing gave was very simple.

“Because… I see my shadow in you.”

Lan Xing’s voice was a little deep, but Bell’s eyes widened unconsciously, because he didn’t expect Lan Xing to say these words, and Lan Xing continued talking as if he didn’t see the other party’s eyes.
