Civilization Guardian Front

The panic-smearing voice was transmitted into the ear canal along with the young man's hot and humid exhalation.

The powerful arms seemed to want to crush her completely, and the fiery emotions seemed to melt her into a pool of blood.

For the first time in her life, she experienced such a nostalgia that was strong enough to burn the brain, and Hestia couldn't help feeling weak for a while.

With just a few simple words, she responded to her question...

Such superficial things as being powerless and penniless are meaningless to Chios, and he does not want anything other than his family who will accompany him for life.

"Um..."

Hestia, whose cheeks were flushed due to poor blood circulation and lack of oxygen, put her arms around Chios' lower back after a while.

Really... a child who loves to act like a baby...

The fear lingering in her heart has not disappeared, even though she hugged Chios, the phenomenon of involuntary trembling and convulsions still exists.

However, she now has an equal force to contend with...

Heartfelt love.

I can't bear to see this child show more sadness and sadness, and hope to become a family that supports him.

To this end, she works to overcome her aversions.

No matter how difficult it is...

"I promise you."

After finishing speaking, Hestia stood on tiptoe and kissed the forehead of the young man who had just let go of the goddess.

As proof of God's promise.

On the side, Hephaestus, who folded his hands on his chest, watched the scene with satisfaction.

"Since there is no problem, why not give him a favor now, and draw out his untapped potential by the way."

"That's right..." Hestia nodded in agreement.

But soon realizing that there were not only two family members of the Lord God alone in this room, she couldn't help curling her lips.

Seeing this, the God of Blacksmithing covered his mouth and chuckled.

Not long ago, he disliked this child, but in the blink of an eye he became possessive, and even the god friend felt uncomfortable in the presence.

This phenomenon, in the view of Hephaestus, is a good thing.

"I still have some things to deal with, so I won't be here with you."

Leaving this sentence behind, the red-haired goddess left the room.

boom...

The door closed.

"..."

Apologetically watching the divine friend leave, Hestia sighed softly, and then turned to look at the new kin who was confused about the situation.

"Chios, undress."

The young man did as he was told.

Amid the rapid breathing of the goddess, Chios unhurriedly unbuttoned his armor and lay down on the bed.

After finally calming down, Hestia sat by the bed and pricked her fingertips with a silver needle.

tick...

The blood fell on the back of the young man who had taken off his clothes, as if dripping into water, spreading and forming ripples.

The pulp of the index finger, which was bleeding from the wound, carefully wrote the sacred words on Chios' body.

"When the adventurer level increases, all basic ability proficiency will be reset to zero, and the past accumulation will continue to accumulate as "hidden ability parameters"..."

"This rule also applies to you, Chios. Don't be surprised to see the results of Lv.1 and no proficiency in the ability value. It will not affect your original strength."

Chapter 490 Two? I'm Marking the Territory

Amazing...

The blue pupils stared at the young man's back and showed the data out of favor, Hestia was secretly speechless.

What the gods can see is not only the Lv.0 value with all proficiency levels being 1, but also the hidden growth parameters and sums of the dependents so far.

Even though she had heard the rumors about the wandering knights defeating members of Freya's family from the neighbors beforehand, and she had also confirmed that Chios had never received any favors before, the goddess still couldn't help but marvel at the child's strength when she witnessed it with her own eyes.

Almost all of the basic abilities have reached the peak of the second-level adventurer.

That's not all...

Now, she wants to discover the potential power hidden deep in Chios by herself.

The testimonies of children's historical experience are transformed into entities and formed into "skills" closely related to personal essence and interests.

hum...

The process went very smoothly. Chios's first skill after receiving the favor, let her extract it by herself and imprint it on the "ability value" behind her.

"This is..."

While reading the message displayed in the skill field, Hestia suddenly noticed...

Under the sacred text in front of Fuyue's eyes, there seemed to be some kind of darkest and deepest thing hidden, which remained indifferent to the pull of the divine power, and was always quietly sleeping in the young man's body.

The fingers that flowed with divine blood tried to touch it, wanting to engrave this power on the "ability value".

This move seems to have angered "they"...

boom!

The purple-black ghostly aura with a ray of golden light flicked off the goddess' fingertips.

"Ah ah!"

Hestia was startled and almost fell off the bed.

Chios hurriedly asked with concern:

"God Hestia, what's the matter, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, don't worry..."

Patting her chest to ease her emotions, Hestia, who wanted to fool her, couldn't help feeling worried.

What is that violent power?

Will it threaten the child's safety?

"Qios, do you usually feel uncomfortable occasionally, such as... there are other forces that are beyond your control raging in your body... Such a feeling?"

Hearing this, the young man pondered for a moment thoughtfully.

In fact, feeling the simultaneous agitation of both the eye of robbery and the power of ghosts, he has roughly guessed what happened.

What I'm thinking about right now is whether I should hide it, and to what extent.

The grace of the gods can detect the strange things of fate, and this information was unknown to Chios before.

Judging from Hestia's reaction, although she was aware of the existence of the two strange things of destiny, she couldn't interfere with them, let alone let them reflect in the ability value.

This means that the power of interpretation is completely in the hands of Chios.

In future battles, there is no guarantee that future vision or ghost energy will not be used. If you say you don't know now, you will have to find other reasons to make up for your lies.

If it is not handled well, maybe the will of the world will take advantage of it and repair the cracks he has poured into the soul of the Lord God with great difficulty.

The best way is to take advantage of Hestia's strong determination to counter the world's interference and tell her frankly.

Thinking of this, he slowly sat up.

"I didn't expect you to find out, my secret..."

With a hint of helplessness in his voice, the young man's long black hair suddenly faded back to nothingness white in Hestia's astonished gaze.

"But you guessed it wrong, the power of this curse has already become a part of me, and it is hard to let go."

With that, he turned around.

The left eye, which shone ominously with scarlet light, and the right eye, which was as enchanting as a topaz, replaced the deep purple, fixedly staring at the goddess.

"Why they chose me as the host, I am not very clear, perhaps, it is my innate destiny to be accompanied by the curse."

Chios held the goddess' white and slender hand, and pressed it against his naked chest.

The skin was tightly attached, and the feeling of the other party's beating heart and hot body temperature flowed down Hestia's arm and quickly fed back to the brain.

At the same time, she can feel...

The ferocious power that had rejected her divine power earlier was now circulating smoothly in the young man's body.

It seems that my worries are unnecessary.

Just as Hestia breathed a sigh of relief, a sudden force came from her right hand.

"what?"

It was too late to figure out what happened, the goddess had lost her center of gravity and fell into the arms of the young man.

chirp... tut...

The slightly itchy touch of the fingertips was accompanied by the wet sucking sound in the ear.

Hestia looked up in confusion.

I saw that his right index finger, which was slowly oozing bright red blood, was being held in his mouth by Chios, carefully licking and wiping.

The combination of the three senses of vision, touch and hearing has a strong impact on the mind.

The pure goddess almost fainted.

"You, what are you doing?"

"Mark territory..."

"Wh, what territory, this is my body!"

(Does the kid know what he's talking about?)

Hestia panicked and wanted to withdraw her hand, but her limp body couldn't exert any strength at all.

After half a minute, Chios finally let go of the girl's finger that was gradually stagnant, and licked the corner of her lips with unsatisfied desire.

"I haven't told anyone my secret, you are the first..." Chios put his hands on Hestia's shoulders and back respectively, and slowly exerted force to make her fall back on the bed.

Immediately, approaching the goddess's completely red ears, the young man whispered:

"Since you know about it, I should have the right to ask you for a gift of equivalent value, shouldn't I, Lord Hestia?"

Equivalent, unique...

Gift! ?

Huh huh huh?

The multiple ambiguous hints of words and actions, if she still can't figure out what Chios meant, she just bumped her head against the corner of the bed and returned to the heaven immediately.

"No, no, this development is too wrong!"

Her small hands were powerless to push against the young man's pressed chest, and Hestia resisted anxiously.

"Why, aren't we the closest family?"

Chios asked back, his tone could not hide his disappointment.

(Is this child's understanding of "family" mixed with some weird misunderstanding...)

Hestia complained about the distorted values ​​of her family members.

"No." Looking seriously at the white-haired youth's strange eyes, she replied resolutely:

"Only this...is definitely not okay."

Chios frowned unobtrusively, and then relaxed it immediately.

"yes..."
