Civilization Guardian Front

Since there are too many affairs to be dealt with as the deputy head of the group, Alicia didn't pay much attention to it after handing over the task of selecting properties.

Including the specific address, it was only learned from the person in charge earlier.

Quietly admire the mansion.

The natural green shade and the man-made buildings that follow the geometry are perfectly integrated, and even with the eyes of the elf royal family, they can't find too many shortcomings.

If there are no family members to take care of, from the adventurer's personal standpoint, maybe she will also consider buying property.

(think too much...)

Slightly shaking her head to dispel the temporarily divergent thoughts in her mind, Riveria raised her hand to ring the magic stone bell by the door.

The thick door was suddenly opened...

What came out was a petite black-haired girl.

Riveria quickly recognized each other.

I met in the hall of the Tower of Babel yesterday evening, the head god of the family of Chios.

"God Hestia..."

She nodded to the gods.

"Oh? You are...from the Loki family..." Hearing the voice, the goddess looked over curiously.

After looking up and down at the elf royal family, her eyes became more vigilant for some reason.

"I said, you, don't you, do you have any thoughts about Chios?"

"..."

Chapter 540 IX? A Difficult Woman

After spending a few minutes dealing with the goddess who was inexplicably entangled with the relationship between the opposite sex and explaining her intentions, Riveria finally entered the manor and found Chios in the reception room on the second floor of the main building that connects the front hall and the atrium.

In fact, when she climbed the last step leading to the second floor, the emerald eyes immediately found each other.

This has nothing to do with her subjective will, just like when looking up at the starry sky on a full moon night, the first thing to occupy the field of vision must be the bright silver moon hanging high on the zenith.

It is not as dazzling and hot as the sun, but it always shows a strong sense of presence...

The black-haired young man held a cup and plate, sitting sideways on the single sofa chair and enjoying the black tea after breakfast.

The sunlight from the rear courtyard reflects into the room, as if guided by some kind of light to form a faint platinum halo. Among them, the light around the young man is the brightest.

"Huh? Miss Leos Alf..."

A look of surprise flashed in Chios' eyes when he noticed the royal family of elves entering the house from the east entrance.

Although there was a visit plan in advance, he really didn't expect that Riveria would trespass without ringing the magic stone bell.

"It was my negligence. I didn't greet you outside the house in person. I'm very sorry."

Recalling that Hestia had just left the house not long ago, Chios quickly guessed that it was the goddess who let her go, and quickly put on a decent and gentle smile.Putting the cup and plate on the coffee table, he stood up and nodded to the elf royal family, and raised his hand to invite him to sit on the chaise longue opposite him.

"No, it's me who should apologize. If I really want to be held accountable, I'm the one who entered the house rashly because God Hestia didn't object."

The two who didn't take this kind of trivial matter to heart said a few polite words out of politeness, and the young man asked the elf royal family to wait for a while, and went to the kitchen to prepare refreshments for the reception.

(It's not easy...)

Riveria couldn't help but feel emotional.

Logically speaking, young people don't need to do such things.

With the keen perception of Lv.6 adventurers and the innate excellent hearing of elves, Riveria is sure that there is another person in the house.

It should be the third-level adventurer of the Mihe family. It is said that she moved in on the day the Piriano Manor was handed over. She is a dog-eared girl who lives with the wandering knight.

Obviously, as long as I give an order, the other party can do it for me, but...

Maybe it was to show his sincerity in entertaining distinguished guests, or simply because he didn't want to put Nazha under his command, Chios chose to do it himself.

From the standpoint of a first-level female adventurer, no matter what the reason for the youth to do so is before and after, it is a bonus item.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Chios did this deliberately because he guessed her psychology.

Having experienced the other party's familiar communication skills in dealing with people and dealing with things more than once, Riveria has every reason to believe that Chios should not be treated as a simple 17-year-old young man.

Watching the back of the young man stepping into the atrium...

A Roman-style aristocratic robe made of silver silk, and a wine-red shawl of the same material spanning diagonally from the left shoulder to the right waist.

Different from the solid armor or the adventurer's clothing that is easy to move in the past, Chios at this moment is like a sword in its sheath, restraining the sharpness of the blade.Instead, it is the elegant atmosphere of poets and scholars.

While comfortable to wear, it is not impolite to use it as formal attire for meeting guests.

It should be said that no matter whether the clothes are plain or gorgeous, they are no different from formal dresses on this person.

After the conditions such as appearance and temperament have reached an extraordinary level, the external objects are just embellishments to set off the wearer. Even because the main body is too prominent, the energy overflowing from the periphery of the charm spectrum improves the style of the clothing in turn.

Even gods, only a very small number possess such qualities.

There are many examples where mortals are comparable to gods in appearance, and a few mortals do have looks that are not inferior to gods. After all, although gods have good features, not all of them are as special as gods of beauty.

However, those who have reached the level of Chios probably can no longer be described simply by the simple concept of "appearance", it is simply a kind of permanent magic similar to mental interference.

Ability similar to Goddess of Beauty Freya...

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem strange that the goddess at the top of Orario would show an extraordinary appreciation for Chios, and not just regard it as a must-collect collection.

Thinking back to yesterday, theoretically, the Freya family and the Loki family were the ones who received an urgent notification from the guild at the same time, and immediately sent reinforcements.

Riveria frowned slightly.

Knowing the power of the Goddess of Beauty, she didn't want Chios to get too close to the Freya family.

Although Chios once said that he has exercised his willpower, he may be able to remain unmoved in the face of the temptation of the lower world.But if it's a beauty god, once the other party gets serious, the heart of a mortal who claims to be as strong as steel may melt into iron slag in an instant.

At that time, it is unknown whether the young man in front of him will still care about the other women who have fallen in love with him.

This is a serious problem...

As far as Riveria knows, there are at least two first-line members of the Loki family (Tifa and Ais), who have a good impression of Chios beyond friendship.

By the way, since completing Chios's commission to buy a house, Alicia sometimes seems to be acting out of place...

Continue to let things go, if one day Goddess Freya is on a whim and Gogou Finger captures Chios to her side, the Loki family may suffer an extremely heavy blow.

Considering the ever-existing competitive relationship between the two major factions, the possibility of this happening is not unreasonably high.

Finn, Riveria, and Grace all foresaw the potential crisis by coincidence.

As a family management team, in addition to combat command, education guidance, material allocation, foreign affairs, etc., it is also important to pay attention to changes in the internal atmosphere of the team.

For this, she needs to talk to Chios...

It would be best to win over this promising young man to the Rocky family before Goddess Freya gets her act together.

The elf woman just thought of this...

Pushing Chios, who was full of tea sets and exquisite pastries, returned to the reception room.

"I was saved thanks to the help of Loki's family when I was in the Misty City of Water, but because of my willfulness, I caused unnecessary trouble to you, I'm sorry..."

Obviously, without Riveria's reminder, the young man is very aware of how much trouble his act of protecting the mermaid girl Mary has brought to the Loki family.

Pour the reddish-brown tea into an empty cup, and put it on the coffee table in front of Riveria along with the small plate containing the vanilla mousse cake.

Taking a pastry with the flavor of custard volcanic salt beans for himself, Chios took a dessert fork and cut a piece of cake, signaling to the guests not to be restrained.

"Miss Wallenstein...Is Ace still mad at me?"

Hearing this, the elf royal family pinched the ear of the teacup with the index thumb and two fingers of their right hand, and took a sip of black tea close to their mouths.

"The swordsmanship is completely messed up..." The woman's voice contained a trace of sigh.

"Even if I say she's fine, you won't believe me, will you?"

"Feel sorry."

"You don't have to apologize..." Riveria shook her head.

"I won't make excuses for Ace's waywardness."

Thinking of the blond girl who was still practicing sword alone in the courtyard when she left the family stronghold earlier, she sighed secretly.

After years of getting along with each other, Riveria was able to glimpse the hidden wavering emotion in Aisi's lack of emotional expression at a glance.

For the sword girl who believes that monsters are "absolutely evil", accepting the fact that Chios protects monsters is bound to be tangled and painful.

It involves issues of principle between the two parties and the emotions of men and women. In this matter, the elf royal family can do very little, and it is best to leave it to the parties to resolve.

What a headache...

Riveria knew that the mermaid girl risked her life to save Chios' life.So she didn't want to rely on the adventurer's qualifications and self-righteously to blame the other party.

Besides, I specially arranged a half-day busy schedule to visit the door, not to listen to these.

"I don't know what happened between you and Ais, Tifa, and Alicia. I don't have a position to criticize, but..." Speaking of this, the elf woman changed the subject and stared straight at the young man. Ziyan Chu asked:

"I'm sure you don't deny that you have some responsibility to them, do you?"

"..."

Chios' eyes froze, and the movement of picking up the cake almost stopped there.

When the other party reaches this point, doesn't it mean that he is sure that he has laid hands on these women...

Although from a practical point of view, Riveria is indeed right.

Difficult woman...

He originally thought that Riveria would take the initiative to show favor to him because she was worried that she would get closer to the Freya family.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually used his intricate relationship with the female members of the Loki family to exert pressure.

The deputy head of the Loki family completely erased the ambiguity in the conversation between the two parties very simply and neatly.

Now, unless Chios doesn't care about becoming a ruthless man in the eyes of the elf royal family, otherwise, he must cooperate to prove himself.

(Is it a test?)

Chios secretly.

Since entering the mission world, Chios has always played a positive role.

There is no reason to take off the mask easily for such a trivial matter.

One of the strongest factions in the city has much more power to speak than an outsider like him who has recently attracted much attention. His frivolous response will undoubtedly hinder the image he has created so far.

Just arousing the disgust of the Loki family who gathers together important plot characters is not worth the candle.

"Maybe it's just what you said..." Chios sighed with emotion, and the corners of Chios' mouth curled into an impeccable smile.

"I never imagined that I would establish a deep bond with a family member I didn't know so quickly, and face difficulties hand in hand... Strictly speaking, I was saved by you."

"To answer your question, the answer is basically yes. However, I want to emphasize that my gratitude to the Loki family is by no means limited to individuals..."

He moved his eyes from the dessert on the plate, looked at the elf royal family, and went straight to the point:

"So, is there anything you can use my meager strength for? Please feel free to ask."

"Um..."

Chios cleverly avoided the focus of the problem, Riveria had no choice but to continue according to the record:

"I hope you... hope that the Hestia Familia will cooperate with the Loki Familia on future expeditions."

Chapter 550? Do you think Chios betrayed you?

chirp chirp...

The crisp sound of birdsong came from the treetops.

"...ummm..."

In the dormitory of a member of the Loki family in the Pavilion of Twilight, the orange-haired goblin with a strand of silver drool on the corner of her mouth that wets the soft pillow moaned lazily, turned her back to the sunlight of the window curtain, and covered her before going to bed The quilt was kneaded into a stick shape because of this action.

The body that stayed up late the night before has not fully recovered, and is extremely sleepy.

"Hey~ Refia..."
