Chapter 590 Seven? Huh?

The new members engraved with favors walked out of the room one after another holding papers with ability values ​​printed on them.

Originally, because they followed Hestia to the guest room on the north side of the atrium on the first floor, only the front hall of Chios was left waiting alone. The dog man with no energy stood beside the black-haired young man with his hands folded.

Behind the dog man, the dog's tail was wagging from side to side, staring intently at the young man beside him, and the person being watched did not show any discomfort, which shows that the relationship between the two is not normal.

Wasn't Chios the only member of the Hestia family before?

Several girls couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts.

Just as they were thinking about whether they should go forward and introduce themselves to the dog man first, Chios, who noticed them awkwardly standing in the corridor, got up from the sofa chair and walked over.

"Have you all received the grace of God Hestia?"

""yes. ""

After replying in unison, Emma, ​​who had the most ordinary background and experience among the nine, took the first step and handed the ability value printing paper in her hand to Chios.

"Here~ Captain."

"Thank you, and welcome to the Hestia Familia."

"You're welcome~ah... I don't think I should say that."

Emma smiled on her cute, girl-next-door face, but quickly realized that she hadn't done anything to be truly grateful for, and she bowed her head in embarrassment.

Reminded by Emma's actions, the others also handed over their own ability value information.

Chios, as the leader of the family, of course needs to know their information.

"Captain..." Karen, the last noble daughter who completed the submission, retreated from her front foot to her heel, curtseyed and asked:

"Excuse me, what are we going to do next?"

"Adventure into the dungeons... I mean, but most of you don't have the proper gear yet..."

Scanning the casual clothes on the new member, Chios shook his head, reached into his arms, took out a purse full of gold coins, and handed it to the dog-eared girl beside him.

"Naza, take them to buy a complete set of equipment, not only weapons, but also protective gear and recovery medicine. Each person has a budget of 30."

"Please wait..."

As soon as Karen started talking, Chios raised his hand and interrupted.

"Don't rush to refuse..." Turning back and approaching the tea table, the young man pinched the ear of the teacup and took a sip of the black tea that had turned from hot to lukewarm.

"This is what you owe the family members. You need to make money and return it to the family members through your own efforts."

He put down the cup and tray and asked:

"Do you know "novice loan"? "

Facing his question, the nine girls nodded one after another.

There are many people who leave their hometowns and come to Olalie with the dream of being an adventurer. Among them, there are many rookie adventurers who are from poor families.

Even if the body has already received the favor of the gods, it is more or less dangerous to fight monsters with bare hands.Therefore, in order to improve the survival rate of newcomers, the management agency will lend them money without interest.Not much, just a few thousand fare, enough to afford an ordinary weapon.After all, the chances of the debtor dying in the dungeon are not small. At that time, the bad debt loss must be absorbed by the guild itself.

It is conceivable that the quality of the equipment that can be bought with this amount of money will not be much better. If you accidentally knock on the maze wall or cut on the monster's bone, a gap will definitely break out. Completely scrapped.

"The loan I gave is actually not much different from that of the guild. The only difference is that the amount of my loan is much larger, and it is a mandatory order, and you are not allowed to refuse."

"Because, I sincerely hope that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and even every day in the future, I can still see you come back intact..."

After finishing the tough sentence in a gentle voice, Chios put his hand on Karen's slender shoulders, and leaned over to stare closely at her obsidian eyes.

"I'm sorry if I hurt your self-esteem, however, the decision will not be changed. Please forgive me for my assertion in this regard."

"..." Suddenly being so close to the opposite sex, Karen blushed suddenly.

She tried her best to move her eyes away, trying not to look at the strangely attractive magic eyes of the leader.

"I, I see, please don't get so close..."

"Very good..." Satisfied, Chios returned to Nazha's side, taking advantage of the time when everyone's attention failed to catch up with him, he shook the cold little hand of the dog-eared girl.

If you don't appease her, there is no guarantee that this jealous bitch will not be able to resist pulling out the alchemy bomb.

"Naza is a Lv.2 adventurer of our ally [Mihe Familia]. She has been engaged in adventure activities for more than six years and has a wealth of experience. She will follow you on adventures and guide you in basic common sense. Including the equipment for this time pick..."

"At the same time, Nazha also lives in this manor. When I'm not around, you can ask her if you have any questions or concerns. It's okay to treat her like a deputy head."

hey~~

After listening to the second half of Chios' supplement, the new members present immediately focused on Nazha.

Give a person who is not from your own family the same authority as the deputy head, and still live under the same roof...

As long as the emotional intelligence is not negative, you can understand that the relationship between Chios and Nazha is not just "good friends".

"..."

Nazha sullenly kept the corners of her mouth from rising, the trace of dissatisfaction in Chios's heart for recruiting nine beautiful girls into the family completely dissipated.

Although it is not an official acknowledgment, but for this sake, the meaning has been expressed clearly enough.Under such circumstances, if you still insist on leaning towards Chios, you can only pretend to be confused.

At that point, the determination held by the other party may not be able to be changed by a few words...

Thinking of this, Nazha secretly sighed.

"Let's go, go and purchase all the equipment you need, don't let Chios worry about you."

Watching the dog-eared girl lead the couple away from the manor.

"How about it, Lord Hestia..."

Chios turned around, looked at the petite goddess who was approaching him on tiptoe, and asked with a smile:

"Their talents should be good, right?"

"what..."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Hestia's face, who intended to be scary but was discovered.

"Well, I have to admit that your vision is really good..." The goddess straightened her back and looked serious, if it wasn't for her eyes wandering, it would be quite the same thing.

Watching the young man approaching step by step, she couldn't help backing away guilty.

"These kids have good... even top-notch talent in different areas."

"Anyway, we finally got a chance to be alone."

"Yeah, that's right... huh?"

Hestia opened her eyes wide.

Immediately, she was shocked to find that she had been cornered.

Chapter 590: Distressed Hestia

"You...don't mess around!"

Hestia, who felt that her virginity was facing a major crisis, quickly blocked her body with her hands.

To her surprise, Chios didn't do anything excessive, he just lifted a strand of the goddess's black hair, watched them slip slowly from his palm like quicksand, and then let go as if losing interest. Turn around and sit back on the sofa.

It seemed like he was just trying to play a prank.

Well what does that mean...

Hestia sneered secretly.

She was indeed a little worried that more precious first times would be taken away by Chios in a surprise attack.But in the face of such a huge contrast between being full of interest one second and losing interest the next moment, the feeling of being offended as a woman's dignity suddenly came to my heart.

Just as he was about to say a few words, he saw the young man resting his elbows on the armrest of the chair, pressing his fist on his cheek, frowning slightly, lost in thought.

Her heart softened immediately.

"What are you worrying about..."

Sitting next to the young man, the goddess held the other's hand on his thigh, and her tone suddenly became much softer.

Recently, Chios has often been seen meditating.

Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night and approach the window, what I see is always alone by the pool on the second floor, smoking a pipe and looking at the starry sky, thinking about something...

Every time she witnesses such a scene, Hestia always feels a dull pain in her left chest.

This child is obviously so busy that he often sacrifices sleep time to think about various future arrangements, but he always looks calm and unhurried in front of him.

Since the monsters in the Mystery of Water ran amok, too many things have been on Chios: investigating the abnormal situation in the maze, participating in the joint meeting of the faction, dealing with the relationship with the medium-sized family, evaluating and investing in urban industries, and taking care of himself workout.

Just watching from the sidelines makes me feel tired.

Now, the family has new members.

Hestia didn't want Chios to continue to shoulder all the burdens.

"Those children have great potential, and your choice is definitely not wrong. Don't worry, Nazha and I will take care of their growth."

"Ok, I know."

Chios responded and slowly closed his eyes.

For the talents of Emma and others, he has a certain degree of psychological expectations, so he will not be too surprised.

Moreover, potential is only a vision of the future after all, and there is no way to immediately realize it into strength.

At present, the number of monsters in the dungeon has increased significantly, bringing greater challenges to the lower-level adventurers who are active in the upper levels, and at the same time increasing the efficiency of proficiency acquisition.Coupled with the additional bonus of Alice's [Mature Nurturing] skill, the growth speed of the nine of them will definitely surprise outsiders.

However, it is still not an easy task to meet the upgrade conditions.

Chios himself is a special case, because his own strength is not at the level reflected by the current level, the road before Lv.4 is just a re-travel of the past growth process, like a steel sword quenched, on the existing basis Reinforce and strengthen repeatedly.

And Emma, ​​Karen, Orianna...they can only be regarded as high-quality rough stones waiting to be forged and polished, and they are still too early to take shape.

It will take more than half a year to be promoted to a senior adventurer.

Therefore, Chios never expected that these novices could directly help him.

In addition to adding a little voice to the Piriano Manor, the main function of the open recruitment of them is to convey the message that "the famous Hestia family has finally begun to expand."Let outsiders know that Chios, who is an outsider, has no intention of continuing to maintain the form of a one-person family, but sincerely intends to develop in Orario.

Since there are team members to take care of, Chios, who is responsible and caring, probably won't suddenly drop everything and leave the city...

Thinking about it this way, everyone from the guild faction to the residents and merchants will feel at ease and dare to trust the Hestia family, thus deepening the cooperation between the two sides in various fields.

The second is to consolidate the friendship with allies.

Chios, who has endless affairs to deal with both on the surface and underground, certainly cannot run around to collect a few herbs and monster drops for individual pharmacists or blacksmiths.

However, Mihe and the Hephaestus family generously offered preferential discounts, and the Hestia family must respond.Otherwise, the relationship of unilateral giving is bound to not last long.

The head of the regiment does not have to do everything himself, and the trivial tasks that are not difficult are handed over to the new regiment members.

There are alchemy bombs developed by Nazha, blazing glue, smoke bags, strong smell bags... all kinds of props are assisted, even if you encounter a troublesome situation, I believe it is enough to deal with it.

When they have a little more experience, they can consider exploring together with Jian Yulei, Modi, and lower-level adventurers of the Manny family.

Faction exchanges are not limited to top elites. It should be said that on the contrary, most of them rely on the mutual assistance and mutual benefit of the relatively large number of middle and grassroots members.

"The base and top of the pyramid are complete, what is lacking right now is the strength of the backbone..."

"You mean the senior adventurer?"
