Civilization Guardian Front

But on him, it doesn't look awkward at all.

The tall and straight figure elongates the visual sense of height, and the white skin is in sharp contrast with the main color of the clothing; the sharpness of black and silver velvet is perfect for his age and strength; the expensive sable cloak, like a swaying cape, perfectly complements His gentle temperament.

Looking across the many senior adventurers present, Chios said apologetically:

"Sorry, it looks like I was the last to arrive."

This is a lie.

Chios, who had intended to be on stage at the end of the day, specifically asked the driver to park the carriage in the shadow of a nearby alley, and did not speed up to the destination with a whip until one minute before the start of the celebration.

In the end, he used "Runes of Light? Misfortune" to make the coachman lose this memory, making sure that he was the only one who knew about it.

Not at all easy.

In real life, the spotlight will not automatically shine on a specific person, but you can only create the conditions yourself.

Of course, the adventurers indebted to Chios would not consider his little delay.

"Our protagonist is finally here..."

Finn came over with two glasses of beer in hand, and handed the filled one to Chios.

When the young man took it, the blond man turned around immediately, and shouted to the crowd:

"Let's toast to the warrior who saved countless lives by blocking the floor master and thousands of monsters alone!"

""cheers! ! ! ""

Hundreds of beer glasses collided vigorously, splashing sheets of white foam.

gurgling...

Chios raised his head and drank the lager beer in one gulp, turned the glass upside down to indicate that there was nothing left in the glass, and then threw it to the catwoman Aniya.

"Another cup!"

Seeing the heroic actions of the young man, other adventurers followed suit.

For a while, the hostess Fengrao's outfield waitresses were all busy collecting empty glasses.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chios moved to the corner and talked with Ota, the only member of the Freya family who was present.

Among the Freya's family, which is full of strange flowers, Ota may be the one with the most normal personality. As long as he doesn't insult the goddess Freya, he can say anything.

Those who are afraid of him are mostly intimidated by his rank and aura.

"Brothers Alan and Gulliver have something to do today, the goddess sent me to attend..."

Listening to the pig man's narration, Chios probably guessed the real reason why the other party came...

The foul-mouthed Yanjin Four Warriors probably thought they were not pleasing to the eye, so they didn't want to come at all.As for the catman Alan, he had no intention of meeting his sister face to face, so he chose to avoid it.

"Thank you..." Chios politely nodded at the other party.

"If you have a chance, please point out my shortcomings in swordsmanship."

"...it is good."

Chapter 560? Too dazzling

Ding!

Hearing the bell from the kitchen, the elf waiter who had just delivered beer to the guests turned around and returned to the serving counter. After confirming with the infield staff, he put the dishes on the tray and walked towards the designated table.

Her footsteps are so soft that she is barely noticeable in a noisy tavern.

Lucy Leon himself understood this, so he would sound a reminder when he got close to people.Only this time, before the elf could speak, the young man with his back to her turned around to make room, as if eyes had grown behind him.

"Thank you..." Chios politely nodded his head in thanks, and took the initiative to take a few dishes from Liu.

This is a thoughtful move considering the large area of ​​the table, even if the elf bends down, it is impossible to put every plate of delicacies within the reach of all hungry adventurers.

"!"

Unexpectedly, while the young man was busy dealing with the adventurers at the same table, actively persuading him to drink, he could also take into account the minor inconvenience of the waiter. The elf's action of serving food froze for a moment, and then the moment it touched the young man's fingertips, he suddenly withdrew his hand go back.

If the other party hadn't reacted quickly enough to grab the wooden plate immediately, the dishes made by these kitchen colleagues might have been spilled...

"hug..."

Noticing the embarrassment in Lyu's eyes, Chios didn't say anything, just smiled gently at her and easily dismissed the matter, then turned around and handed the delicacies in his hand to others.

"Guys, we finally have something to eat. Before officially drinking ourselves unconscious, we should fill our stomachs first, shouldn't we?"

"Haha, you're right!"

"That's right, you can vomit when you're full!"

"It's disgusting! Stay away from me, you stinking man!"

The adventurers echoed or responded to the topic provoked by Chios, and their minds were quickly put on the food, and they didn't notice the strangeness of the elf waiter's fingers at all.

Thus, Lyu was able to retreat without losing her dignity.

Standing at the corner of the bar again, Lyu's eyes fell on the young man who helped her out of danger just now.

The electric current that ran through the whole body at the moment of touching, quietly turned into warmth...

I don't know if he sensed the gaze of the elf waiter, this wandering knight who has been the focus of attention since he stepped into the store turned his face slightly, glanced at Liu with his deep purple eyes, then raised his right index finger and gently pressed it to his lips .

As if to say "this is a secret between the two of us"...

Faced with Chios secretly communicating with her silently behind other people's backs, Lyu suddenly felt her ears burning.

Obviously it was just an episode, but even the most negligent details were taken care of, and the meticulous tenderness still cast a stone in the heart lake of the elf girl.

"Hmm~ I'm watching Mr. Chios again..."

The youthful and playful voice suddenly rang in his ears, making the elf froze.

Turning her head to look, a human girl holding a tray with both hands and swaying light gray hair appeared beside her at some point, looking at her with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Sorry, I accidentally lost my mind."

A slight blush appeared on Lyu's cheeks.

She knew that under the gaze of her best friend's gray and silver pupils that looked like mirrors, any lies were doomed to be futile.

Neither admitting nor denying is already the limit of what she can do.

Seeing Lyu with a slightly embarrassed expression, Xier found it very interesting.

However, she knew very well that the other party couldn't stand her further ridicule, so she didn't continue to ask.

"I just heard some information from the adventurers. It seems that a large-scale abnormal situation occurred in the lower floor of the labyrinth yesterday. More than a thousand monsters sprang out at the same time, and even the floor owner ran out..."

Although Xier had never entered a dungeon, Xier seemed to be able to imagine the runaway scene described by the adventurer, as well as the great courage needed to face the infinite enemies alone, and understood why everyone was so grateful to one person.

"At the critical moment when everyone is busy retreating, the person who stepped forward to block the army of monsters was Mr. Chios."

"Just him?" Lyu opened her eyes like pure jewels.

"Well, Ms. Ace and Miss Tifa who were accompanying me were assigned by Mr. Chios to assist the adventurers, gather everyone together as quickly as possible, and guard the way to the upper floor. Therefore, in Freya , He was fighting alone until the reinforcements from the Loki family arrived. He was really brave..."

After listening to Xier's reply in which she couldn't hide her admiration, Lyu nodded silently.

As an adventurer who has gone deep into the maze, she understands the horror of that situation better than her best friend.

Once defeated and killed, even the corpse will be eaten up... It may even be in a state of consciousness, watching countless ferocious monsters tearing at your body, ripping out your internal organs, in an unimaginable situation Die in pain and despair.

Thinking of this, Lucy couldn't help thinking about the comrades who belonged to the same family in the past.

Alyse, Kaguya, Laila, Noin, Celty, Leyana...

(If they hear such stories, they will probably want to get to know him, especially Alyse... )

This thought flashed through his mind, and he was brutally cut open with a "tear" by the bloody sharp claws.

The scenes of fighting side by side with friends and arguing endlessly, including their voices and smiles at that time, will always be so clear in memory.

Correspondingly, the scene of disaster that destroyed all these good things is also vivid in my mind.

The wound deep in his heart has never healed, it is better to say that it is still festering and bleeding, but it is barely bandaged under the care of a certain gray-haired girl.

Thinking back on it now, it still hurts so much.

Not only the grief of the tragic death of a companion or the remorse of the impotent.It is also a heart-pounding question to myself who fell into the dark abyss and lost the right to shoulder justice.

Now, can she make the same decision as Chios?

Lyu knew that the answer was no.

That young man is so dazzling...

Alysia was so brilliant in the past.

Dazzling to the point of disturbing, lest this fiery red lotus will burn out in the next second.

Justice is such a bright and fragile thing.

"Lyu, are you alright?"

The friend's voice full of concern suddenly pulled the elf from his thoughts back to reality.

Seeing Xier's worried eyes, she realized that her hands had unknowingly started to use force, and the gradually increasing force was about to break the tray in half.

"I'm... fine."

Not knowing how to explain it, Lyu could only choose to hide it.

"Lyu..."

Xi'er was about to say something, when the tavern proprietress Miya's impatient voice suddenly came from behind the bar:

"You two, don't stand there in a daze! The wine barrels here are all empty, hurry up and get me new ones!"

Chapter 560? Have a baby with us

The advanced adventurers whose physical potential has been greatly improved by the level of favor, except for a small number of people whose physique is not suitable for drinking, can drink well.

The beer and fruit wine in the cellar are consumed very quickly, and the waitress has to go to the storage room to pull out the full oak barrels with a trailer from time to time to replace them when she shuttles between the tables to collect and serve the food.At the same time, in the kitchen of the tavern, there are uninterrupted requests for additional points from the guests at each table, making the chefs very busy.

This may be the busiest time for the "Mistress of Abundance" so far. Even among the well-paid adventurers, the people who participated in the celebration may be regarded as the wealthiest group, and they are naturally not relentless in spending money.

After all, the bills received by eating to death here are far less than the cost of repairing their equipment once.

After the delicious food and wine, when the wine is hot, everyone's chatterbox also opens...

Right now, Chios is listening to the members of Modi's family blushing and expressing their gratitude for the life-saving grace, promising that only Chios will say in the future, and he will repay the kindness with all his strength no matter what, gently shook his hand, and replied:

"No, please don't say that. The strength of the Hestia family is still very weak, and my personal ability is even more limited. In the future, there will definitely be many aspects that will require the assistance of the Modi family..."

"I believe that mutual assistance and mutual trust are the cornerstones of long-lasting friendship..." The young man pressed his heart with one hand to show his sincerity, and lifted the beer he had just refilled with the other hand, and greeted the four second-level adventurers beside him.

"To that end, let's raise our glasses and wish each other a lasting friendship in the future."

"" respect friendship!cheers! ""

"I have to say that Chios Pesheim is an excellent diplomat..."

Sitting on the side of the tavern, Finn looked away from the scene of the staggered cups in the middle of the hall, and took a knife to cut a piece of chicken breast from the roasted chicken with spices on the table, poured the sauce on it, and put it on his dinner plate.

"The reason why I arranged the seat in this way did not need to be reminded, he understood and used it himself."

"We adventurers have been accustomed to living without restraint for too long. We always feel that as long as we have like-minded partners, we often ignore the role of diplomacy. However, a leader can never lose this sense of smell..."

"In this respect, he may be better than us, Riveria, Grace, what do you think?"

Hearing this, the elf royal family and the strong dwarf both nodded.

"agree."

"It's really scary for young people..."

Looking at the emotional expressions of the leader members, the rest of the group members at the same table seemed to understand.

"Regiment... Captain, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

Tione blushed, feeling a little ashamed that she couldn't understand what the other party was explaining.

"Ah, don't worry, my words are too convoluted..." The little blond man explained in an easy-to-understand way:

"I mean, Chios Pesheim is the star of the party, and whether we're too stealthy or he's too enthusiastic about us, it's not really a good thing. The best thing to do is to do what he's doing now. Also, take advantage of this opportunity to increase relations with other factions..."
