Civilization Guardian Front

At this time, the host, who left the high-rise terrace and came to the box seat area on the south side, asked a question that countless people cared about:

"Sword of Dawn, I think the audience here, including the audience from all over the city, are as curious as I am, why did the Hestia family unilaterally give up your claim to the defeated party when applying for a war game?"

After Ible finished speaking, he handed the magic stone amplifier to the winner of the duel.

Taking over the microphone, Chios spoke in a soft voice:

"I have only targeted Phryne from the beginning to the end. I have no enmity with the Ishtar family. Based on the friendship of fighting side by side at the lower level, I am willing to believe that the vast majority of combat whores have nothing to do with Phryne's atrocities... "

The image of the mirror followed the young man's line of sight to the Ishtar family on the north side of the arena.

"But Phryni is the head of the Ishtar family after all, and with her brutal temperament, if she is dealt with in the usual way, she will probably try her best to drag the entire family into trouble and save herself by sacrificing innocent members. Bar."

"Therefore, I can only use the coercion of war games to force her to come forward and fight me one-on-one to ensure that no one will be harmed by Phryne."

Unexpectedly, not only did Chios not add insult to injury, but instead spoke for them, and even confessed that he was worried about their safety, all the fighting whores opened their eyes wide in surprise.

The entire arena is also completely silent...

"Finally, is there anything you want to say to everyone who supports you?" The host added a question before the silence.

"Olalie is my home, the place where I found redemption after losing everything and experiencing the pain of devastation."

Chios looked up at the sky.

As if on the other side of the sky, some important relatives and loved ones were looking at him with gratifying eyes, a happy smile that no one had ever seen appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth.

"Everyone's enthusiasm and care have given me the light called courage and hope, so that the cold blood flowing in this body can regain a little warmth. Really...Thank you very much."

When expressing his gratitude, Chios' voice trembled slightly.

"In order to repay this kindness, I will burn this body to protect this city..."

"This time, I will never lose again."

As if he wanted to firmly grasp the radiance that stayed in his palm, he clenched his right hand facing Noon Time Riyao, and tapped on his left chest.

"Hereby, I swear by the everlasting flame."

Staring blankly at this scene...

The blue sky pupils suddenly shrank, and the body and mind shook violently.

The hazy and out-of-focus vision suddenly returned to seven years ago.

In the face of a city full of ruins and blood-stained residents, eleven girls with firm beliefs on the wall of Olali City made an oath together:

Accomplish the mission, right the balance, until it falls into a star...

In the name of the goddess, run alongside the sky and make the earth covered with star trails.

Swear to the sword and wings of justice.

Chapter 650 Two? Want to distance yourself from me?

It was past two o'clock in the afternoon when all members of the Hestia family left the arena and finally got rid of the enthusiastic citizens and returned to Piriano Manor.

"Aha..."

Holding the bronze-reinforced door, feeling the reality of the crowd being blocked outside, Hestia let out a long breath.

she miscalculated...

I thought that with the end of the duel, they would only need to stay in the private lounge for about half an hour. The people gathered at the exit on the north side of the arena would not be able to wait for Chios, and would return to work soon.

To join in the fun is to join in the fun, and it is almost enough to put aside work for half a day. It is impossible to delay livelihood for this.

However, the actual situation is quite different from the expectation.

Many people, especially the spectators who bought seats in the arena, obviously regarded today as a major festival celebration, not only forgetting about making money, but also many people came with their families.

They were not in a hurry to leave. They bought food from nearby hawker carts and sat on the ground, passing the time with delicious food until the Hestia family appeared.

Hestia wasted half an hour staying in the room, and there was no significant decrease in the number of people outside.

Realizing that her thinking was too naive, and it was impossible to continue hiding in the venue to avoid the crowd, she had to show up with the group members.

Then, naturally, the situation of being surrounded by groups is inevitable.

Watching Chios shaking hands with countless supporters and signing autographs for an unknown number of people, he had to maintain a consistent gentle smile on his face and not allow himself to show any impatient appearance.

Hestia sighed secretly.

Walking on the street in the future, similar situations will surely happen again and again.

"Seriously, Chios, are you considering wearing a mask in the future?"

"God is really fickle..."

Chios, who was discussing lunch recipes with Nazha, frowned and turned his head.

"We've only known each other for two months, yet you're tired of looking at my face, and feel disgusted?"

The way he looked at Hestia, and the tone of his mouth, made no secret of his disappointment.

If it weren't for the deliberate exaggerated acting skills that left a little trace of ridicule, maybe the goddess would believe it.

"It's not like that!"

Chios casually joked, obviously not taking the matter seriously, which made Hestia, who was still emotionally stable a moment ago, panic.

"Chios, I was thinking of you..."

The extremely serious words of the goddess reached the ears of everyone in the courtyard.

The members of the Hestia family looked at each other, wondering if they should intervene in the dialogue between the main god and the group leader.

In the end, they chose to remain silent very wisely.

The petite goddess suddenly grabbed the young man's right hand hanging from the seam of his trousers, pressed it to her heart, and faced him directly with a look of astonishment.

"God Hestia..."

"You are already busy enough, there is no need to make others smile when you go out in private, right?"

Responding to the expectations of tens of thousands of people is by no means an easy task.

Therefore...

Legal order, commercial circulation, maze conquest... Based on the various needs derived from the above three, until now, the guild, the chamber of commerce, and the family have been jointly undertaken by the three forces.

Although it is unavoidable that the right to speak of all parties will be limited, and it will take a long time to reach a consensus through coordination to solve difficult problems, but at least the responsibilities are shared. As long as everyone does their job well, most affairs can be handled properly.

Chios did the opposite, taking as much responsibility as possible on himself.

In just two months, he gained great prestige.

At the same time, it further deprives young people of their personal space, which has long been depleted.

From the point of view of the residents, there is an object of concentration for the soul, and most of them will feel at ease.

But for Chios, the pressure to shoulder all of this alone is too heavy.

Hestia couldn't help worrying...

The young man in front of him is just a human being who has just reached maturity.

People of the same age as him are currently either apprentices under craftsmen, or rookie adventurers who are learning under the leadership of their predecessors.

Whether it's due to talent or consciousness...

No matter how you say it, Chios still bears responsibilities far beyond his age, and even far beyond what a creature from the lower world should bear.

Even the gods of the heavens have different domains, and no one has all the powers.

Hestia subconsciously squeezed the tube-shaped life report in her hand.

It's not that she didn't pay attention to the subtle doubts pointed out by Hermes in the report, but...

What did Chios do that is questionable?

Need him to exchange selfless dedication for approval like atonement?

At least so far, most of Chios's actions are for the well-being of Orari and even the people of the world.Even profitable ventures are all based on bringing innovations to citizens, none of which are achieved at the expense of other people's happiness.

Anyone can make wild and far-fetched guesses.

But if this is the basis, there will be no trustworthy people in the world.

Therefore, after learning of Chios' past, Hestia was not only unable to doubt, but almost couldn't suppress the idea of ​​worrying for Chios.

Chios...

Where is your personal willfulness and your own happiness?

"You obviously don't owe anyone anything, why do you..."

"Are you pitying me?"

Chios interrupted Hestia's words in a deep voice.

His eyes paused for a while on the anxious face of the goddess and the hand holding the report, and a helpless expression appeared on the young man's expression.

"I can probably imagine that after God knew about my life experience, he couldn't help but feel unbearable, and even began to worry about my mental state. But I can assure you, I don't mean to be brave..."

He rubbed the space between his brows, and felt that his tone was a little cold, and he quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Compared to the fact that the whole village regards me as the source of disaster and throws stones at the same time telling me to get out... Now the citizens of Orario are willing to recognize me and have high hopes for me. There is a world of difference between the two."

As if to emphasize that he was fine, Chios smiled.

"I admit that their overly positive kindness did cause me some insignificant troubles. But this little thing is not enough to make me physically and mentally exhausted. Please rest assured."

Having said that...

Contrary to his words, Chios' demeanor reveals faint exhaustion.

"The shower in the arena didn't seem to wash away all the blood smell, I just went to freshen up while I was waiting for lunch, so you don't get sick later..."

As Chios said, he walked towards the main building.

Seeing this scene, in Hestia's eyes, there was an inexplicable sense of escape.

what the hell...

The goddess pouted.

(When I didn't know you, I kept my mouth shut. Now that I have finally found out the truth, I want to keep my distance.)

I won't let you run away!

She quickened her pace to catch up...

Chapter 650: Shared Bath

Seeing that Hestia was in a hurry to catch up with Chios, and followed all the way into the main building of the manor...

"Should...it's not our turn to intervene?"

Primo the Elf hesitated and twisted his neck, and asked the person who had the closest relationship with Chios present.

Nazha shook her head decisively.

"That's a private matter between Lord Hestia and Chios. It may also involve your captain's unhappy past. Knowing too much is not good for you..."

(In the sense of chastity. )

The dog girl made up the unspoken remarks in her heart.

These young girls who have joined the Hestia family not long ago, whether it is based on their appearance, ability, conversation, or behavior, all in all, it is an undoubted fact that they have longing for their leader.

There is actually only a thin line between the fall and fall.

Nazha didn't know what kind of tragedy Chios had suffered in the past, but only through the few words revealed in the private conversation with the other party, it was not difficult to infer that the young man had lost all his family members due to a certain incident, and his death may have been quite miserable.

The maternal instinct is one of a woman's greatest weaknesses...

If the Hestia members were to know the inside story, the consequences would be disastrous.

Although occasionally some adventurers can be heard saying enviously, "The Hestia Familia, who are all beautiful girls except for the Sword of Dawn, are a harem group that can fight at all."However, Nazha, who lives under the same roof as Chios, can be sure that, at least so far, Chios has not acted in line with the above words.

Chios has a lot of things to do, and he has no leisure time to spend on cultivating redundant relationships with the members.

However, if this group of girls moved to his side recklessly, Nazha had no doubt that her carnivorous lover would eat them up without hesitation.
