Civilization Guardian Front

"You may have misheard... er..."

Still holding the doorknob with her hand, the female shop assistant who kept pushing the door replied awkwardly.

Unfortunately, Chios doesn't like her at all.

He approached the counter, leaned his upper body forward to get closer to the other party, and tapped the girl's shoulder with his right index finger.

"?"

As soon as the suspicious female shop assistant turned her head, she found that the white and slender finger reached up and touched her cheek.

"Huh...huh huh!?"

"Why should you hide it..." The purple eyes with strange and devilish qualities watched the flustered expression on the girl's face, and the five fingers of his right hand gently rubbed on her face.

boom!

The mental shock released by the gaze exploded in the female shop assistant's mind, tearing her caught off guard thoughts into pieces in the blink of an eye.

"I don't like bad boys who lie, do you want to be hated by me so much, huh?"

Hearing the slightly disappointed whispers of the young man who was close at hand, her heart felt as if it was tightly grasped by an iron clamp. The indescribable anguish was mixed with the blood pumped out by the thumping, and spread to the limbs. Baike.

"No..." The hand that was originally intended to stop the other party's reckless behavior turned to clasp his chest involuntarily.

don't want...

Don't want to be hated by him!

"Actually, that movement should have come from God Hephaestus of our family."

"Ten days ago, a goddess who was said to be a good friend of God Hephaestus came to the door. Since she had just descended from the realm, it was difficult to find a place to live in Olalie, so God Hephaestus provided it of course. help......"

As she told the truth, Chios' demeanor gradually softened.

The female shop assistant who noticed this detail showed a heartfelt smile on her face, and the heart-wrenching pain gradually subsided.

Unknowingly, her emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy have all been brought under the control of the other party.

"However, that goddess is either sleeping in the room every day, or indulging in stories from books in the lower realms, which makes God Hephaestus a little unhappy."

"It turned out to be like this..."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Chios' mouth.

God friends do not do anything after they go down to the world, relying on friends for three meals a day, including accommodation, will be disappointed in the eyes of any friend who is serious about running a business.However, under the foundation of deep friendship, we will still give each other opportunities again and again, and there is still a long way to go until we can't bear it anymore.

Although it was far from the time when Hephaestus kicked Hestia out of the house, it did not prevent the youth from sowing the seeds of deflecting fate.

It would be too costly to influence Hestia, so let's start with her god friends.

He consciously called out the crest on the back of his hand.

(The executor Chios Pesheim applied for the use of the world authority to offset all the influence of the mission world will on Hephaestus for three days.)

[A request from the executor has been received to eliminate the interference of the important storyline character Hephaestus in the entire world. It consumes 6 points of world power every day. The owner of the authority can cancel it at any time. Do you confirm the transfer of world power? 】

(Yes.)

Chapter 480 Three? I hope to have a family again

bump!

Kicked open the door of the guest room.

The red-haired goddess with a blindfold on one eye looked at the petite god friend who was still sleeping in the bed, and the anger accumulated over the past few days suddenly exploded.

With a "swish", the quilt that was tightly hugged by the other party was removed, and the girl who was still immersed in sleep dragged her whole body to the side of the bed under the influence of inertia.

bump!

Falling heavily to the ground, Hestia reflexively covered the most violent left face with one hand.

"Ugh, it hurts..."

Mi Meng opened her eyelids, and the goddess, who was only wearing a white nightgown, finally focused her sight.

"What, it's Hephaestus, why did you wake me up so early?"

"It's too early, the residents of Orario have already woken up to work, the adventurers have entered the dungeon, and even I have had breakfast..." With one hand on his hip, looking down at the god friend who is petite like an underage girl at his feet, Veins appeared faintly on Hephaestus' forehead.

"Ten days have passed in the lower realm. It's fine if you don't plan to develop your family. You don't even bother to earn enough money to support yourself. You stay in the house like a rice bug all day long..."

"How long are you going to be a useless god, Hestia?"

"Hmm, Hephaestus is too strict..." Hestia finally sat up as she pressed her head with her fair and clean hands.

She rubbed her eyes.

"It's hard to get rid of the increasingly heavy work in the heaven, and I only have a few days of vacation here, so it doesn't need to be said too much?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the red-haired goddess suddenly became even more indifferent.

"Using money from friends to take vacations, you're really thick-skinned beyond imagination..."

Tired of working in the heavenly realm is indeed the reason why many gods descended to the realm.

However, in the lower realm where the use of divine power is restricted, the godhead is not a reason for children to respect and support them for no reason.Here, they also need to work hard or manage their families in order to earn money for their own support or even squandering.

The reason why the Hephaestus family can become a top-notch equipment brand is not only because of the skills bestowed by her priesthood, but also the result of tireless recruitment and guidance of the children of the family, which has accumulated over a long period of time.

Now this friend of the gods in front of him actually took it for granted, enjoying the fruits of hard work from the countless sweats of the Hephaestus family...

Even if the other party showed a little bit of self-reliance, it would not make her so dissatisfied.

The term "friend" does not mean pure and endless giving. In Hephaestus' view, allowing the other party to be decadent and continue to indulge is the greatest insult to the friendship relationship.

"If you continue like this, one day I will drive you out of the house and let you live on your own, Hestia."

"I know..."

Facing the extremely stern gaze of the divine friend, the shoulders of the goddess with long black hair and shawls falling on the ground shrank slightly, and even the two magnificent white balls on her chest trembled a few times.

"I will find a few children and set up my own family."

Hestia looked ashamed.

She also knew that it was bad behavior for her to depend on others and not find something to do to make a living.

When she was in the heaven, Hestia treated her priesthood diligently and conscientiously, and she would never be so careless and lazy.

She didn't think that she would change when she came to Olalie.

However, ever since she sealed her divine power, whenever she stepped out of the weapons store on Northwest Avenue, looking for a child with potential and a serious personality in the crowd, she always felt intense tiredness in her mind.

Even if you just want to find a part-time job, this force is still with you.

There is always a voice deep in my heart, telling her repeatedly:

hold on...

The most suitable time for self-reliance has not yet come...

Hephaestus won't be kicking you out so soon...

Day after day, the feeling of laziness seemed to be clinging to her body, and its effectiveness continued to grow.

For example, right now, Hestia felt that her eyelids were extremely heavy, as if she was hanging on a shot put, and she might fall asleep again if she squinted her eyes at any time.

However, this kind of sloppy excuse, which even she herself felt was disrespectful, was an extremely shameless excuse, and if she said it, it would definitely attract Hephaestos's contemptuous gaze!

"Oh, seeing you like this, I really don't know what to say..."

Looking at the sleepy friend who was sleepy and yawning, the red-haired goddess put her hand on her forehead and sighed.

"Forget it, I don't want to persuade you more about what you understand in your heart. Take some time to think it through yourself, and don't let yourself go further down."

"Otherwise, the warning just now will come true when my patience runs out."

After finishing speaking, she turned her face away from looking at her friend's drowsy face, and walked out of the room.

click...

"what?"

After closing the door of the guest room smoothly, Hephaestus stood there, stunned for a moment.

(Originally, what am I going to do after teaching Hestia a lesson?)

I have always planned to do things, and my mind, which should have had a plan, is actually blank at this moment.

It was as if some intangible burden or shackle was lifted from his shoulders, and his body felt inexplicably relaxed.

And, even stranger...

Not long ago, her feeling of repulsion from approaching the product display area at the front of the store disappeared unknowingly during the conversation with Hestia.

Probably because I was angry and disappointed, and I took a breath to overcome the little awkwardness in my heart...

After pondering for a while, Hephaestus resolutely gave up recalling.

She decided to go to the front desk of the weapon shop to see with her own eyes what it was that she had instinctively been wary of before.

After making up her mind, the Forging Goddess quickly walked down the stairs and walked through the corridor leading to the front desk, only to find that the door in front of her had been opened unexpectedly.

Opening the half-closed door, the female clerk of the family family held her flushed cheeks in her hands, and the shyness was clearly visible at a glance.

When Hephaestus shifted his gaze to the customer in front of the counter, he understood why the girl behaved like this.

The jet-black mid-length hair reflecting the flowing light under the crystal lamp is like natural tassels, adorning the young man's handsome face that is enough to amaze the gods. He is only wearing a somewhat old dark blue armed uniform, but it does not affect his noble temperament in the slightest.

Even compared with the decent gods, it is not inferior, and it can even be said to be slightly better.

Especially those long and narrow dark purple eyes, Hephaestus couldn't help but think of a goddess known for her beauty.

"This divine power..."

His keen hearing caught the approaching footsteps early, and he withdrew his hand on the female clerk's face in advance, but Chios didn't expect that just one minute after using the power of the world, the God of Forging walked into the field of vision.

In line with the stranger's reaction, he was stunned for half a second, and Chios put on a gentle smile on his face.

He stepped back half a step, and bent over to greet the other party with his right hand.

"I'm meeting you for the first time. I'm Chios Pesheim. Please allow me to offer my most sincere greetings to the venerable God."

"You don't have to be so respectful, I'm Hephaestus..."

The red-haired goddess waved her hand.

The gods descended into the lower realm for nearly a thousand years, and the gods were often seen walking on the streets. The residents of Orario, who had become accustomed to getting along with the gods over time, seldom faced them with such meticulous etiquette.

With the appearance of a young man who is easy to cause topics, he will definitely not be unknown in this city.

At the same time, there is no aura of divine power and grace on him...

Based on the above elements, Hephaestus basically guessed the origin of the other party.

"Are you from out of town?"

"Yes, traveling here from a small country in the far north."

After listening to Chios' answer, the red-haired goddess nodded as expected, but the activity in her heart was completely opposite.

Why did my intuition reject meeting this child before...

Although it looks really good, there is nothing worth caring about other than that.

The race is human, and due to the limited lifespan, the physical function is destined to decline after the age of 30, and Chios looks at least seventeen or eighteen years old, and from the perspective of becoming an adventurer, the starting age is compared to the elites cultivated by many families since childhood. They are a lot late, and the growth potential will not be too great.

Hephaestus was a little puzzled.

Perhaps, the intuition of the gods may also be wrong.

Without thinking about it, she looked towards the lower-priced area of ​​the store.

"It's a rare encounter, let's recommend some affordable products to you who are ready to become an adventurer..."

"Lord Hephaestus..."

The Autonomy god appeared, apart from bowing at the beginning, it was just the female shop assistant who stayed quietly as the audience, at this time, she reminded in a low voice:

"Mr. Pesheim is the wandering knight who almost triggered a war between the Loki family and the Freya family. It is impossible for a novice to defeat five second-level adventurers in front of many people."

"what?"

The goddess suddenly opened her eyes wide.
